Chapter 646: Cao Ren's helplessness

"My lord, everything has been arranged." After successfully completing all this, Deng Zhan found Cao Pi and reported the news to him.

At this time, Cao Pi was also ready for everything, and after listening to Deng Zhan's report, he nodded with a satisfied smile on his face, and then said: "Zhanfei, you have worked hard today, and when you arrive in the Wa Kingdom, I will definitely ask for a reward for you." ”

Then Cao Pi asked: "By the way, what about the jade seal of the Son of Heaven?" This matter is a sacred relic of the Son of Heaven, and it must not be lost. ”

"Mo Jiang has already hidden it, and put it in a secret place with his own hands, please rest assured." When Deng Zhan saw Cao Pi mention the jade seal, he was inexplicably nervous in the letter, but fortunately, he was able to quickly adjust his emotions, so he said unhurriedly.

Cao Pi nodded, but then said: "You still take the jade seal and put it by my side, I am always a little unsure in my heart, no matter what, it is safest to bring the jade seal with me, you go and take the jade seal over, I will personally guard it." ”

Deng Zhan heard this, and secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't resist, even if he was strong in martial arts, it was absolutely difficult to kill and escape outside the city, even if he could escape and send the jade seal to Liu He, outsiders would say that he stole the jade seal and sent it to Liu He, in this way, both Liu He and he would be discredited because of this, and thus become the target of the public, which is what the wise man is unwilling to do, so in this case, he can only take the jade seal first, and then think of a way in the future.

"I originally decided to go to the lord after stealing the jade seal this time, but I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns, so it seems that I have to go to the country of Wa first to see if there is a chance to steal the jade seal back halfway."

It was with this idea that Deng Zhan secretly prepared a small boat on the way out, and the result was unexpected, it was this small boat that played the most crucial role, not only allowing him to escape, but also successfully delivering the jade seal to Liu He's hands.

Let's say that after Cao Pi saw the jade seal of the country, a pair of eyes suddenly flashed with greed, this is a symbol of the throne, since its inception, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have fought for it with red faces, broken heads, and even dead people?

"Hehe, the prince will have no seeds, does this throne only belong to his Liu family? I think that at the beginning, Gaozu Liu Bang was just an ordinary gangster, the group was able to ascend to the throne and create a foundation for these four hundred years, my identity is not known how many times higher than Liu Bang back then, why can't I be among them? This time, our army fled to the Wa Kingdom, and since then we have lost any contact with the Central Plains, even if the Son of Heaven dies halfway, how can Liu He know? By the time I held the jade seal and established myself as the emperor, my position in the Wa Kingdom had already been consolidated, and I took advantage of the geographical advantages of the Wa State, coupled with Sima Zhongda's resourcefulness, what could Liu He do even if he had an army of 100,000 and 200,000? What's more, Liu He probably wants Emperor Han to die now, right? In this way, he can be his emperor with dignity, as for this heirloom jade seal, if he needs it, I don't mind exchanging this jade seal for peace, even if he is a minister and a tribute, it is nothing, as long as he is willing to recognize my status as the lord of the Japanese kingdom, everything does not matter, without the heirloom jade seal, I can also carve a jade seal myself. ”

Cao Pi thought of this, immediately felt the blood boiling all over his body, although he was about to cross the ocean to the Wa Kingdom, but will eventually establish the imperial industry, which can be regarded as a strong master over the ancestors, in the future the emperor will be passed on forever in the Wa Kingdom, and he is also a prince, once the Central Plains changes, he can still call at any time, maybe after three or two generations, the old Cao will still become the lord of the world.

Holding the jade seal in his hand, Cao Pi's heart was full of pride and ambition, and he didn't care about the difficulties in front of him, he led his soldiers with high spirits and gave the order to set off.

In fact, with Cao Pi's plan, he originally wanted to set fire to the city when he fled, so as not to leave anything for Liu He, but after all, Cao Pi's escape takes time, if he really sets fire, he will definitely alarm the Zhao Yun army outside the city, and I am afraid that he will really die at that time, so Cao Pi did not dare to make the slightest move, so as not to startle the snake, and at the same time, in order to avoid Zhao Yun's pursuit, he also left Cao Ren to lead three thousand soldiers to continue to stay in the city, the purpose is to play an empty city plan, confuse and drag Zhao Yun outside the city, So that he can retreat calmly.

"Uncle, as long as it drags on for three days, you will retreat immediately, and now my nephew is short of good generals, but I can't do without you." Before leaving, Cao Pi took Cao Ren's hand and said solemnly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Ren remember." Cao Ren was also deeply moved by Cao Pi's deep affection, and at the same time he lamented in his heart, I am afraid that he will never be able to set foot on this land from now on, and he will spend his old age in the wilderness.

"That kind of life, I can't go on, even if I think about it, I feel that I can't love it." Cao Ren is different from Cao Pi, he is now old, he is no longer as aggressive as when he was young, he just wants to be able to live for a long time, if he can allow, it is best to spend his old age in his hometown, and even if it is the land of the Han Dynasty, even if it is not his hometown, he will endure it in his heart, but now he has to travel far and wide to go to the country of Wa, which he has never been to before, which makes his heart extremely bitter.

"It's all because of Zihuan's single-mindedness, forcing the Son of Heaven to be canonized as the king, which angered Liu He, and as a result, the country was ruined, and now he can only live in a foreign country. Brother Mengde, if you knew that there would be such a day, I wonder if you would regret passing the seat to him in the first place? If it was passed on to Zijian, there might not be today's changes. ”

In the night, Cao Ren watched the team go away, and his heart was full of sadness, but he also knew that with the current situation, if he didn't escape, there was only one way to die, with his arrogance and his loyalty to Cao Cao, he wanted him to become Liu He's general like Zhou Yu, and swore allegiance to Liu He, which he was unwilling to die for.

In fact, Cao Ren sometimes thought that he might as well fight Zhao Yun to the death here, and would rather die than go to the Wa Kingdom, but he knew that his brother Cao Cao was jealous of Sima Yi before his death, and knew that if he didn't have his help, he was afraid that his nephew would not be Sima Yi's opponent at all, so in order to help Cao Ren consolidate his position, he had to save his life and go to the Wa Kingdom.

"Sometimes people can't die if they want to, and that's the greatest sorrow of man." Cao Ren smiled bitterly, and the look on his face was even more helpless.
