Cao Pi pretended to be sad, and Cheng Yu, who was lying there, slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and asked faintly, "Your Majesty came to see me, did you encounter something difficult?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Pi replied: "Cheng Gong may not know that Cao Zirong sent Uncle Chen to Hanzhong. He killed Yang Bai and Yang Song successively, and now Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of Zhang Lu. ”

Cheng Yu listened and shook his head slowly: "Hanzhong is definitely not in Zhang Lu's hands. ”

I didn't intend to tell him at all, saying that Chen Zhi had escorted Zhang Lu and others to Shouchun, but Cheng Yu said that Hanzhong could no longer belong to Zhang Lu, Cao Pi asked in astonishment: "How could Cheng Gong think that Hanzhong no longer belongs to Zhang Lu?" ”

"The eldest son is a human being, can Your Majesty still know?" Cheng Yu said: "If there was no Chen Shuzhi, Hanzhong would no longer belong to Zhang Lu. Now sitting in Hanzhong must be Yang Song and Yang Bai, who are supported by His Majesty. The place that Chen Shuzhi took was already his in the eyes of the eldest son, would it be returned to Zhang Lu? ”

Cao Pi nodded as if he had realized.

"There is one more thing...... Cheng Yu said weakly: "If Your Majesty doesn't do it, I'm afraid it will leave a great opportunity for the eldest son......"

"What else?" Cao Pi asked stunned.

"The Han family abolished the emperor......" Cheng Yu replied: "As long as he is alive, it is impossible for His Majesty to live in peace." He has never had much to do with the eldest son, no matter whether the eldest son supports him to be the emperor or asks him to give in again, His Majesty will give the reputation of a traitor and a rebel. ”

Cao Pi's face was a little ugly: "What does Cheng Gong think I should do?" ”

"Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than the eldest son." Cheng Yu replied: "Actually, it's very easy to do, as long as you send a capable person to crusade against Hanzhong, and then transfer the Tiger Guard Army to Luoyang to protect Your Majesty." Even if the eldest son sends troops, it is impossible to do anything to His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty will contact Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou again, and crusade against Shouchun with their armies, and he will definitely be able to defeat the eldest son. It's just that before that, Your Majesty has to get rid of the abolished emperor of the Han family first, and cut off the possibility of the eldest son receiving Zen to win the world......"

Cao Pi pinched his chin and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "It's still Cheng Gong's foresight, I will go back and arrange it first, and I will send a doctor to come to treat Cheng Gong later......"

Before the words of diagnosis and treatment came out, Cao Pi realized that something was wrong with Cheng Yu.

His pupils drifted, and his eyes were fixed on one place without moving, as if there was something there that particularly appealed to him.

"Cheng Gong!" Realizing that something was not right with Cheng Yu, Cao Pi called softly.

Cheng Yu didn't respond, as if he had fallen asleep with his eyes open.

Cao Pi sighed softly, got up and walked to the door.

When he reached the door, he said to the servants who were guarding outside, "Your master is dead. ”

Hearing that Cheng Yu was dead, the servants ran into the house one after another.

When Cao Pi left, he heard the sound of many people crying in Cheng Yu's room.

He glanced back and instructed the guards beside him: "Pass the order down and bury Cheng Gong." ”

Walking out of the door of Cheng Yu's house, Cao Pi glanced back.

His feelings are actually very complicated.

It is understandable to attack Hanzhong and get rid of Liu Xie......

Cao Pi originally didn't think it was necessary.

The deposed emperor is nothing more than a puppet plaything to him, and it makes no difference whether he kills or not.

But Cheng Yu proposed before he died that he must kill Liu Xie.

On the way back to the palace, Cao Pi has been pondering what Cheng Yu said.

Cao Shuo has not yet been proclaimed emperor, perhaps just like Cheng Yu said, he is waiting to get Liu Xie, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty will give up the throne.

Once Cao Shuo gets Liu Xie, no matter what the balance of power between the two sides is at that time, Cao Pi will be very passive.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi made up his mind that he would never let Liu Xie live.

At least he can't be allowed to fall into Cao Shuo's hands alive!

The news of Cheng Yu's death soon spread throughout Luoyang City.

Many Cao family staff and generals came to offer their condolences.

On the edge of the pond in the back house of the Cheng family, two figures stood side by side.

Standing on the left was Yang Xiu, who had been Cao Cao's chief bookkeeper, and beside him was Sun Guan.

"Cheng Gong left really suddenly." Sun Guan said: "When I got the news, I still didn't react. ”

"He left suddenly, so we can achieve great things." Yang Xiu said: "There is a saying that a man's words are good when he is about to die, I heard that His Majesty is going to send troops to attack Hanzhong, if it wasn't for Cheng Gong to give him advice before leaving, how could he have made a decision so quickly?" ”

"Your Majesty has decided to crusade against Hanzhong?" Sun Guan said: "I heard that Chen Shuzhi took Zhang Lu and others away, and now only Tian Feng, Jiang Gan and others are left in Hanzhong to run government affairs. Once the army is used against Hanzhong, it is a declaration of war on the eldest son. ”

"Isn't this the day we've been waiting for?" Yang Xiu smiled and whispered to Sun Guan: "Actually, the eldest son is also waiting. Hanzhong is just a bait for the eldest son, and His Majesty is too greedy, so he bites it. ”

He looked back at Cheng Yu's mourning hall: "Cheng Gong also gave His Majesty a trap before he died, and the Cao family should be able to return to one in a short time." ”

Sun Guan nodded and did not say anything.

Yang Xiu continued: "Before that, I still have to do one thing. ”

"What else is there to do?" Sun Guan asked in surprise, "Isn't everything already arranged?" ”

"The aftermath of the deposed emperor." Yang Xiu said: "I have to let people prepare in advance, so that I won't be in a hurry at that time." ”

Sun Guan was even more surprised: "The deposed emperor is good, and he didn't provoke anyone, and his body is very healthy, why do you have to prepare for him?" ”

"To win the world, you must first win the hearts of the people." Yang Xiu said: "If there are still many people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty today, if the deposed emperor does not die, these people will become a big problem sooner or later." The eldest son will win the world in the future, in case he provokes right and wrong because of these, wouldn't it be very troublesome. The best way is to ask His Majesty in the palace to give the deposed emperor to ......"

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Xiu's mouth.

Sun Guan suddenly understood!

But he still couldn't figure out why Cao Pi wanted to kill Liu Xie: "If you wanted to kill the abolished emperor in the first place, you should have done it a long time ago, Cheng Gong persuaded Your Majesty, would he have listened to it all?" ”

"When a person is about to die, every word he says is worth appreciating." Yang Xiu replied: "Your Majesty just doesn't know that the strategy that Cheng Gong gave him before he left was to put him in a situation where he would never recover. ”

"How do you know that?" Sun Guan asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter how I know." Of course, Yang Xiu would not tell Sun Guan how he learned the content of Cheng Yu and Cao Pi's words: "The most important thing now is to prepare some things that should be done in advance, so as not to be in a hurry at that time." ”

Sun nodded: "I understand what to do." ”
