"Hey......"

A thick sigh fell, and Yang Qi, who was standing on the top of the hill, slowly turned away.

Under the hills.

Mu Guiying's face was grim, and he raised the gold medal arrow in his hand.

"Put!"

Bang bang bang~

Tens of thousands of artillery pieces fired in unison.

The trees in front of the hills were blown apart, and the ground turned over, revealing moist loess.

The stump and broken arm of the Shu army flew into the sky.

A rain of blood fell, moistening the ground beneath his feet.

Under a round of artillery bombardment, there were less than 100 Shu troops who could still stand.

Cao Cong is among these 100 people.

"Surround it, capture it alive!"

Yang Qi bypassed Mu Guiying for the first time and issued a general order.

Mu Guiying was stunned and didn't say anything.

Thousands of Yan troops rushed out, lying on the ground with those who had been bombed, but they were still crawling forward, and the charging Shu army surrounded them.

"Help me up!"

Cao Cong was bleeding from seven holes, and his face roared miserably.

The guard, who was missing arms and legs beside him, stepped forward and drove him.

When Yang Qi saw this scene, he frowned, and ran over quickly to this side, shouting as he ran, "Cao Cong, don't do stupid things!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

"Brother Seven, I'm no longer the little kid running around behind you."

Cao Cong grinned, and the blood in his mouth spurted out one by one.

Only half of the remaining remnant of the sword was carried in his hand.

"Cao Cong?!"

Yang Qi was exclaiming.

Cao Cong smiled even more heartily.

The remnant sword was raised by him under the watchful eye of everyone, and slowly slashed across his neck.

Blood gushed out and spilled the scorched earth beneath his feet.

The other Shu soldiers who followed Cao Cong's side were stunned when they saw this, and they also smiled one by one.

"Puff~"

A short sword stabbed into his chest.

They laughed and fell to the ground.

When Yang Qi ran closer, Cao Cong was not far from death.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Seven...... Seventh Brother ......"

Cao Cong shouted, his head tilted, and he died, but the smile on his face did not decrease by half.

Yang Qi closed his eyes in pain, he retracted his hands that were still trembling, and commanded in a low voice: "Gather their bones and bury them ......."

Although it was a hostile relationship, the Yan army was full of respect for this Shu army that was still resisting to the death.

150,000 people, except for the pawn who was deliberately sent out by Cao Cong, the rest of the people did not survive.

They did not flee and did not surrender.

They all died on the battlefield.

Even in the end of the battle, no one bowed their heads.

Yan people respect the heroes, and this Shu army is the heroes in their hearts.

Yang Qi didn't let anyone follow and staggered away.

Before leaving, he whispered to Mu Guiying.

"You don't have to keep your hands ......"

Yang Qi mobilized an army of four million to the battlefield, and naturally did not think of winning with a clever plan.

From the very beginning, he was ready to sweep the Shu army with a tough attitude.

It's just that both sides are Han family members, so they don't want to kill too much.

In retrospect, this approach was too merciful.

After Yang Qi left.

Mu Guiying ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

After Cao Cong's bones were collected into the coffin, they were sent to the barracks and placed with the bones of his brother.

Yang Zongwei became the only junior who helped his uncle keep the spirit.

The order that there was no need to keep his hands was passed to Di Qing's right army and the left army of Yongzhou with the Yan army's heralds.

After the Yan army consumed and attacked the strength and sharpness of the Shu army, it finally showed its fangs.

Under the pressure of the four million army, from Hanzhong to Ba County, and then to Yongzhou, they formed a line, forming an arc, quickly compressing the living space of the Shu army.

The Chinese army of Shu lost nearly half of its people, so under the strong persecution of the Yan army's million-strong army, it could only retreat again and again.

The Shu army on the left line also did not bargain in Yongzhou.

Only Cao Wei and Di Qing on the front line of Hanzhong are evenly matched.

Correct.

Under the pressure of the general situation, the Shu army led by Cao Wei could only be forced to retreat.

If he doesn't retreat, he is likely to become a lone army, trapped in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and then strangled on both sides.

The speed at which the Shu army invaded the Yan Kingdom was very fast, and the speed at which it was beaten out of the Yan Kingdom was also fast.

Cao Bin was seriously ill, and the heavy responsibility of commanding the army fell on the second prince Cao.

Under Mu Guiying's steady advancement, Cao didn't dare to fight her head-on.

A month later.

The Shu army retreated to Sichuan and Shu.

The Yan army is outside Sichuan and Shu.

The Shu army was repulsed, but the Yan army had no intention of evacuating.

When the three armies converged outside Sichuan and Shu.

Yang Qi summoned the commanders of the three armies.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Qi, who had been idle for a month, sat on the dragon chair.

Mu Guiying and Di Qing entered the tent, and after giving the salute, they sat down separately.

Yang Qi said lightly: "I want to destroy Shu, but the terrain in Shu is complicated, and the army will not only fail to work, but it is likely to cause unnecessary casualties."

Therefore, I am ready to withdraw some of my soldiers and horses, leaving only one million soldiers to fight against Shu.

The position of commander-in-chief of the three armies, I only intend to keep Mu Guiying. ”

Di Qing opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Apparently he didn't want to leave.

Yang Qi glanced at him and said, "My sixth brother has been withdrawn from overseas, but there are still several territories overseas that need to be governed, and the contradictions between the various vassals also need to be dealt with.

Yan's suzerainty status is unshakable, so I am ready for you to take over from my sixth brother and take charge of overseas wars.

Do you have any objections? ”

Di Qing shook his head, "No ......"

Yang Qi nodded, "That's good, I won't say much else." The more the army stays here, the more food it consumes. Mu Guiying stayed, and the two of you went down to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. ”

"喏~"

After Di Qing and the two left.

Yang Qi looked at Mu Guiying and said, "The Shu army has returned to Shu, and the power in charge of the Shu army has been changed from Cao to Cao Wei. Cao Wei's strategy, you should know.

Coupled with fighting on the Shu mainland, the Shu army has a natural advantage.

I would like to ask you, do you have the confidence to play against Cao Wei? ”

Mu Guiying said with a cold face: "The minister will not lose ......"

Yang Qi smiled, "It's a good thing to have faith, since that's the case, I will continue to hand over the army to you, and you will be in charge." ”

Mu Guiying got up, knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." ”

In the Yan army's camp, there was peace.

In the camp of the Shu army, it is a little bleak.

After a month of attack, the Shu army also felt the gap with the Yan army.

They couldn't defeat the Yan army at all.

The big tent of the Chinese army on the border of Sichuan and Shu.

Cao had a gloomy face and sat aside after handing over the tiger talisman arrow.

Cao Wei took his place and sat in the handsome position, also with a gloomy face.

"Father hasn't woken up yet?"

Cao shook his head and said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that the danger is at stake. ”

Cao Wei frowned tightly and roared, "We still have to fight with Yan Guo?" ”

Cao said gloomily: "I don't want to fight either, but my father has confessed after waking up before, and he will not die." ”

Cao Wei subconsciously clenched his fists, "If you don't die, more people will die." I don't believe you can't see that we are no match for Yan at all. ”

Cao's face turned bitter, "I don't want to go on like this, but my father's fate is hard to disobey." ”

Cao Wei let go of his clenched fist and laughed self-deprecatingly: "My father's life is hard to disobey, so the imperial brother and the imperial brother gave their lives because of this." ”

"Hey......"

Just when the two brothers were sad and bleak.

Cao Bin's cronies and eunuchs suddenly entered the Chinese army's tent.

His face seemed to be crying and laughing, and he said with a strange expression: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is awake." ”

Hearing the news, the two brothers rarely showed a hint of relief.

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, please go to the place where he rests." ”

The two brothers were stunned and immediately walked out.

When Cao Wei went out, he was stopped by the eunuch raising his hand, and he said humbly: "Your Majesty said that the Yan army is outside, and you still need Your Highness to sit in the middle army, so you don't have to go over." ”

Cao Wei subconsciously frowned.

Cao said softly: "You just stay, I will greet my father for you." ”

Cao Wei nodded reluctantly.

After Cao got out of the Chinese army's tent, he went straight to Cao Bin's bed.

After entering the ancouch, Cao was a little stunned.

Cao Bin lay on the bed, his face pale like a dead man.

In front of him, a table of wine and banquet was placed.

The banquet table was next to Cao Bin's bed, so he could barely climb onto the wine jug on the table.

"Father!"

Cao hurriedly stepped forward.

Cao Bin didn't speak, just waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Cao hesitated for a moment and sat down under Cao Bin.

Immediately afterwards, the five brothers Cao, Cao, Cao, Cao Huan, and Cao Jingshan entered the tent one by one.

Also sat down at Cao Bin's motion.

They all looked at Cao Bin worriedly.

Cao Bin, who had been silent, finally spoke, his voice was very weak, and it was so faint that the Cao family brothers leaned over to hear it clearly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started......"

Cao Jingshan asked hesitantly, "What about Brother Weihuang?" ”

Cao Bin didn't speak, but glanced at Cao.

Cao explained: "The Yan army is approaching the city, and Cao Wei needs to sit in the Chinese army to prevent the Yan army from sneaking up. ”

The brothers nodded.

Cao Bin looked at his son, and said in a trembling voice: "Can'er, Cong'er, died in the Yan Kingdom, and their death did not disgrace the reputation of my Cao family." ”

The Cao family brothers were stunned for a moment, and arched their hands and said: "We will not insult the reputation of the Cao family." ”

"So good......

"Eating and drinking......

Cao Bin spoke, and the brothers of the Cao family began to eat and drink.

Cao Bin looked at the sweetness of their food, nodded and said, "Eat more, drink more......"

Cao Bin also accompanied them to eat and drink.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Cao Bin put down the wine glass, looked at his sons with a complicated expression, and laughed in a low voice: "As the saying goes, if a tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a biao." I have nine sons, but only one.

My Cao family's biao is Cao Wei......"

Cao was stunned and said: "My father values my brother, and we all know ......"

After a pause, Cao gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial brother is dead, if the father wants to pass the throne to the imperial brother, the son has no objection." ”

Cao Bin looked at him unexpectedly, and laughed in a low voice: "It stands to reason that your imperial brother died, and you, as my second son, are the most likely to inherit the throne." The Ninety-Five Supreme is close at hand, so you let it out so generously. ”

Cao Gan said with a smile: "Erchen has a lot of ability, Erchen himself knows." Now that the soldiers of the Yan State are in the city, if our brothers fight for the throne, they will only cheapen the Yan Kingdom for nothing.

Besides, the only one who can defend my Cao family under the heavy pressure of the Yan State is the emperor's brother. ”

Cao Bin looked at him and said quietly: "But I can see the unwillingness in your heart." ”

Cao Cancan said with a smile: "Ninety-five Supreme, there is only one step away, how can the sons be willing." But even if Erchen is unwilling, Erchen can't ruin my Cao family because of his own selfishness. ”

Cao Bin glanced at him with a smile, and his eyes fell on the other sons.

"Cao has already expressed his willingness to give up the throne to Cao Wei, what about you?"

The brothers of the Cao family looked embarrassed.

Cao suddenly got up and arched his hand: "Erchen has no covetousness for the throne, if he can, Erchen is willing to go to Yan Kingdom as a hostage, so that Yan State will give up the conquest of my Shu Kingdom." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Cao Bin chuckled lowly, his eyes swept over Cao's body, and it was extremely infiltrating.

He chuckled and said, "I have bowed my head to Yang Yansi for more than ten years, and I finally raised my head this time, I don't want you to bow your head again." ”

Cao said embarrassedly: "Erchen knows that he is wrong. ”

"Sit down......"

After Cao sat down, the other Cao brothers opened their mouths one after another, saying that they had no idea about the throne.

Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the eunuch to take out the edict of succession prepared in advance and ask the Cao brothers to sign it.

He borrowed the stain of the inheritance of the throne between Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, and helped Cao Wei ascend to the throne in advance and remove unnecessary troubles.

Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne and had a stain on his body, so in order to save his reputation, he did a lot of stupid things to cover up.

However, even so, there are still people who talk about the disgraceful things about his ascension to the throne.

Cao Bin didn't want Cao Wei to have this trouble after ascending the throne.

Under the coercion of Cao Bin, the brothers of the Cao family were unwilling and reluctantly wrote their names on the edict.

Cao Bin looked at the Qi Qi name on the edict and nodded with satisfaction.

After he instructed the eunuch to collect the edict of succession, his eyes fell on his sons again.

"The edict of succession alone is far from enough to ......"

Cao Bin said faintly.

The Cao brothers were stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Bin in unison.

Cao Bin continued: "Cao Wei has a stubborn personality, even if I forcibly pass the throne to him, he may pick on his son and shoehorn the throne to you. ”

The Cao brothers were shocked.

Cao Guang's eyes widened, he looked at Cao Bin with a frightened expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, what else do you want?" ”

Cao Bin didn't seem to hear Cao Fa's question, he continued to himself: "And with his temperament, even if he takes over the throne, it is very likely that he will negotiate peace with Yan Guo and continue to bow down to Yan Guo."

That's not what I want to see.

I don't want to see my Cao family, bound by affection.

Throughout the ages, an emperor through the ages, who will be bound by love?

I want to destroy the love in his heart and make him a ruthless emperor.

so that he can show his power unscrupulously.

In this way, we can establish a strong Shu State.

A strong country that does not lose to the Yan State, and a strong country that is stronger than the Yan State. ”

The Cao brothers had already stood up, they were trembling all over, and they looked at Cao Bin in horror.

They could clearly feel the madness in Cao Bin's body.

The eyes that were gradually scarlet, the few sharp teeth that were exposed, how did they look like a beast ready to kill people.

"Goo~"

Cao Jingshan, who was timid, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Cao Bin seemed to be unaware of his sons' reactions, he smiled gloomily and muttered to himself, "I lost, but my son won't lose." I won't let him lose. ”

Cao Bin's scarlet gaze fell on the Cao family brothers, "So, I need your heads, I need you to use your heads to arouse Cao Wei's murderous intentions, and I need to use your heads to erase the love in Cao Wei's heart."

Only in this way can Cao Wei grow into a qualified emperor. ”

The Cao brothers took a step back in unison.

Cao glared, clenched his fists, and exclaimed, "Father! You're crazy! We have promised not to compete with the emperor for the throne, and we have signed the edict. ”

"Hahaha......"

Cao Bin seemed to be stirred up by Cao's words, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing unbridled and crazy.

"Am I crazy? I'm not crazy, I did all this for the sake of my Cao family's country and for the sake of hegemony. ”

Cao Jingshan trembled and said: "Qianqiu hegemony is more important than your son's life?" ”

Cao Bin replied as he should: "Of course......"

Cao trembled and roared: "Father, the sons will never let you do stupid things, nor will they let you hurt the emperor's brothers." ”

As he spoke, Cao prepared to leave the place with his brothers.

But Cao Bin laughed more heartily, "It's too late!" It's too late! You must die! Cao Wei is destined to become the first emperor of the ages under the persecution of me. Although I can't become an emperor through the ages, my son can become an emperor through the ages, and even if I am under the Nine Springs, I will wake up with a smile. ”

The faces of the Cao brothers changed frequently.

Suddenly.

"Poof~"

Cao Jingshan covered his chest and suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Ninth brother?!"

The Cao brothers pounced.

Cao Jingshan grabbed Cao's hand in horror, "Second brother, second brother, there is a fire burning in my heart, so hot, hot, hot......"

Cao grabbed Cao Jingshan's hand, trembling all over.

He turned his head abruptly and yelled at Cao Bin on the bed, "Cao Bin! You're really crazy! You poisoned the food you just had?! ”

When the other brothers of the Cao family heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Cao comforted Cao Jingshan for a few words, threw himself in front of Cao Bin, and roared with red eyes, "Antidote!" Antidote! ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... When did you hear that there is an antidote to the drug? ”

"Pulling the ?!! Medicine"

"Poof!"

Cao spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Poof!"

Cao Huan also spat out a mouthful of black blood.

In just a few breaths, the Cao family brothers all spit out black blood and fell to the ground.

There was blood in Cao's mouth, he trembled, and his hands tightly grabbed Cao Bin's collar, "Cao Bin! You lunatic! You lunatic! Why are you doing this! You lunatic! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Cao Bin grinned, not caring about his son's disobedience at all.

His mouth was also vomiting blood, black blood stained Cao's hands, black blood soaked the placket of his clothes, flowed to the ground, seeped into the carpet.

"Poof!"

Cao let go of Cao Bin, sat down on the ground, and laughed wildly, "Cao Bin! The most wrong thing Lao Tzu has done in his life is to have a brother like you! In the next life, Lao Tzu will never be your son again! ”

Cao looked at the other brothers and shouted, "Brothers, don't be afraid, death is not terrible!" Our life was given by Cao Bin, and we will return it to him today. From then on, we had nothing to do with him. ”

"I'm the first brother to explore the way for you!"
