When Cao Cao heard this, of course he agreed, although he lost about 20,000 soldiers this time, he killed Zhang Yi's general Shang Shifu and apprentices. It can be said that this time the troops were earned, and now as long as the troops can be safely withdrawn, it is even better.

The reason why Cao Cao wanted to talk to Zhang Yi was actually to test Zhang Yi's attitude towards the Han family. Zhang Yi ignored the Han family before, and it can be said that he has nothing to do with Xuchang, neither listening to the tune nor listening to the announcement, but Zhang Yi has occupied Runan and Nanyang for a long time, but he has never wanted to attack Xuchang. The only time he marched to Xuchang was the time when Master Shang calculated Cao Hong, but the boundary of Yingchuan County was not reached that time.

Now Cao Cao heard Zhang Yi's words with his own ears, and he almost knew Zhang Yi's thoughts. It's not that Zhang Yi doesn't care about the Han family, it's just that he has some scruples. So what did he scruple about? Cao Cao didn't have to think about it to know that he was just taking care of himself. Zhang Yi's ability is really strong, look at how he has gone from nothing to a prince who can compete with him in just a few years. And it took me almost 20 years to fight to this extent.

Cao Cao really wanted to put the Han family in Zhang Yi's hands, but as soon as the idea arose, he was strangled to death. The current form is no longer up to him, he now represents not only himself, but also many people, his relatives, those who support him, and the cronies who have followed him in their achievements. So no matter how capable Zhang Yi is, he can only compete with Zhang Yi.

Now Zhang Yi proposed to call out the army and make a truce, which was in Cao Cao's arms, and Cao Cao agreed: "I will wait in Xuchang!" ”

The two reached a tacit understanding, and then each returned, and then the troops returned.

After Zhang Yi returned to Wancheng, Li Jing wondered, "Lord, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?" ”

Zhang Yi told Li Jing about the emperor's assassination, and Li Jing was also taken aback: "Lord, this matter is extraordinary, Cao Cao should not use this matter to deceive the lord." However, the lord guarded against him from using this to discredit the lord. Although the prestige of the Han family is no longer there, it is very unfavorable to the lord to be charged with killing the emperor. Dong Zhuo's lessons from the past, please be careful. ”

Zhang Yi nodded, "I will let Liu Ye go to Xuchang to find out what the situation is." So in order to avoid suspicion, I can only strike now, and I will not clash with Cao Cao again in the near future. ”

Li Jing nodded, "But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and you must be careful that Cao Cao takes the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, "So I want you to continue to guard Wancheng, I need to return to Shouchun to preside over the overall situation, and Shouchun will be in turmoil." ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

After handing over Wancheng to Li Jing, Zhang Yi took Xia Luqi and his personal guards to the south along the river, entered the Hanshui, and reached the mouth of the river until the river, and then entered the river and went north, returning to Shouchun in less than ten days.

That's the good thing about the waterway, down the river, it's very fast! The so-called Qianli Gangneung is still like this for a day, and the river flow speed is very fast during the wet season.

When he returned to Shouchun, Zhang Yi asked Liu Ye to prepare as soon as possible, and then photographed dozens of soldiers to protect him and let him go to Xuchang. The reason why Liu Ye was sent is because Liu Ye is a relative of the Han family, and he has followed Zhang Yi over the years and is now a marquis, he is close to the Han family, and he can represent Zhang Yi, so that he can learn more news and mention Zhang Yi to decide more things.

Liu Ye is very smart, but he is only suitable for being a close minister, which has something to do with his character, he always likes to pat himself on the back! But he is capable, and he has been with Liu Muzhi all these years, acting as Zhang Yi's housekeeper and helping Zhang Yi take care of many things.

After Liu Ye made a little preparation, he set off immediately. From Shenxian and Ruyin, go up the river to Xiangxian, Xihua, Linying, and then go north to Xuchang.

Along the way, most of them were Cao Cao's territory, but Cao Cao had already said hello, so as soon as Liu Ye entered Xiang County, he was escorted by Cao Bing and sent all the way to Xuchang.

After Liu Ye arrived in Xuchang, he was received by Xun Yu. However, Xun Yu's face is not very good, although the etiquette is not bad, but he does not treat Liu Ye well. Xun Yu had filial piety on his body, but the emperor still did not survive, and died three days after Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.

The emperor's death made Xun Yu feel that the sky was about to fall. He wanted Cao Cao to attack Zhang Yi directly, but reason prevented him from doing so.

After Liu Ye knew that the emperor had died, he immediately paid homage to his filial piety, and then went to worship. While going, he asked Xun Yu, "The emperor has died, will the new emperor ascend the throne?" ”

came over to receive Lu Cui and said mockingly: "I can't imagine that you still care about whether the new emperor ascends the throne, and you haven't sent anyone to visit you for so many years, and even the taxes have been intercepted." ”

Liu Ye smiled coldly, "Why did this happen in your heart?" ”

Lu Cui sarcastically said: "I only saw a group of rebellious ministers and thieves who didn't care about the emperor. ”

"It is precisely because there are more people like you that the court is so smoky!" Liu Ye scolded: "If you listen to you, there will be no pure land in this world." ”

"Strong words!" Lu Cui argued: "If you and the others had obeyed the king's orders, the Han family would have prospered here a long time ago." ”

Liu Ye snorted coldly: "How to ZTE?" Let you, the families, divide the land, raise the population, and then the Son of Heaven completes the feudalism and reproduces the story of the Shang and Zhou dynasties? ”

Lu Cui still wants to speak, but don't organize Xun Yu. Lu Cui didn't see it, Xun Yu saw it, and there was a trap in Liu Ye's words. The story of the Shang and Zhou dynasties is to divide the princes, you must know that it is because of the feudal princes, the four hundred years of turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have long been over, and finally the first emperor ruled the world, and then changed back, how many years will it take to be unified again?

Liu Ye worshiped the emperor, because the imperial tomb was not ready, so it was not yet buried. However, the emperor's nickname has been decided, and he is Emperor Qi. In the nickname, Qi is a joint effort, which means to achieve a career with the assistant minister.

This is a confession, which is somewhat inconsistent with Liu Xie. However, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, who are even more mediocre than her, are also superiors, which is basically a practice in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The new emperor is Liu Xi, the son of Emperor Liu Xie of Qi, as the new emperor, and Liu Xi is the fourth son of Emperor Qi. Emperor Qi's eldest son and second son were killed together when Empress Fu was killed, and the third son, Liu Feng, was named King of Nanyang in July 200, but died in August. The fourth son, Liu Xi, is only seven years old this year, but he is already the eldest son of Emperor Qi and deserves to ascend the throne.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and everything was controlled by Prime Minister Cao Cao. The new emperor wanted to have a new era name, and Cao Cao presided over the change of Yuan Cheng'an, which means inheriting Jian'an.

Liu Ye met the new emperor, he was not optimistic about a seven-year-old emperor, his father couldn't fight Cao Cao, let alone a seven-year-old child.
