Chapter 507 Reunified

"What?" Hearing Gao Rou's words, Sima Yi couldn't help jumping up and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Yuyang is under the barrier of Yan Kingdom, and now that Yan Kingdom has not fallen, how can Yuyang be breached? ”

I saw Gao Rou say with a wry smile: "It was the Han Dynasty navy that broke through Yuyang, those navies landed from Piaoyuyi, and then took advantage of our army's empty and unguarded forces in Yuyang to quickly occupy Quanzhou, Yongnu, Luxian, Yuyang and other counties, and when Lord Taiwei got the news, the entire Yuyang County was completely controlled by the Han army." ”

"What do you say? Navy? How is this possible? Isn't the navy of the Han Dynasty under the command of Lu Xun? And hasn't Lu Xun been in Yizhou? It is said that it is more than 5,000 miles from Yizhou to Piaoyuyi, how long does it take for his navy to get here? Sima Yi was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled expression.

But seeing Gao Rou, he let out a long sigh and said slowly: "The prime minister doesn't know, this navy is not from Yizhou, but from Ma Han, from Ma Han to Piaoyu Yi by sea is only two thousand miles at most, and it may even be only fifteen hundred miles, with such a close distance, Lu Xun's army can reach it in time." Hehe, we all underestimated this Lu Xun. ”

Hearing Gao Rou's words, Sima Yi felt even more incredulous, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Ma Han, isn't this an area controlled by the Japanese people?" Why was Lu Xun able to lead the army from there? Could it be that the Han army actually established an alliance with the Wa Kingdom? ”

≦★，.. But seeing Gao Rou shaking his head again and saying with a wry smile: "Xia Guan Ben also thinks so, but it wasn't until Lu Xun said it himself that we learned that the entire Wa Kingdom had already been completely controlled by the Han Dynasty. Thus controlling the political situation of the entire Wa State, and the Wa State was obviously a nation that bullied the weak and feared the hard, and they saw that the Han Dynasty was strong and powerless to resist, so they bowed their knees and shamelessly flattered. At the age of fifty, he actually proposed to marry Liu Qi's ten-year-old son, Liu Lin, the king of Wu, and then regarded himself as a daughter-in-law, and shamelessly set up Liu Lin as the husband, and later proposed to support Liu Lin as the emperor, because Liu Lin thought that the title of the emperor was very disrespectful to her father, so she took the initiative to reduce the title to the king of heaven, so the current Wa Kingdom is actually the same as the Xiongnu. It's all Liu Qi's vassal states. ”

"What? I didn't expect this Liu Qi to secretly control the entire Wa Kingdom, and the Wa people were so shameless, so groveling to outsiders, and shameless, so to speak, the people who invaded Sanhan and the Hui Tapir were all under Liu Qi's instructions? If this is the case, even if the prime minister moves the kingdom to Liaodong, it will inevitably perish in the end. Hehe, this thief is really willing to help him. It blocked my retreat. ”

A deep sadness suddenly appeared on Sima Yi's face, and he said with a wry smile.

At this time, Dong Zhao frowned, then bowed down and asked, "Prime Minister, what about moving the capital ......?"

But when he heard Sima Yi, he sneered: "Now that even Yuyang has been occupied by the Han army, what other way can we move to Youzhou?" Is it moving to Yanjing Jixian County? The situation there is not as good as Yecheng? So, the next thing. We don't need to talk about moving the capital anymore, but defend it with all our might, hehe, aren't those loyal to the Cao Wei royal family self-proclaimed loyal ministers and martyrs? Then fulfill them, and then you can arrange for them to guard Yecheng for me. ”

"No." Dong Zhao bowed his head and responded. immediately bowed to Sima Yi and Gao Rou and said goodbye.

After Dong Zhao left, Sima Yi said to Gao Rou again: "Now, the situation is very clear, we have almost no chance of winning, now we can only do our best to know the destiny of heaven, most of the so-called Cao Wei loyal ministers are actually just Qingliu people, there is no real talent, it is simply impossible to expect them to defend Yecheng, so, after them, you have to arrange our own people to hold on, at the same time, as soon as possible, order Guo Huai, Sun Li and my third brother to withdraw their troops to Yecheng, hehe, hehe, Since Liu Qi wants to fight a decisive battle here, he will be fulfilled by this appearance, but if he wants to take Yecheng, it is absolutely impossible not to pay a price. ”

Gao Rou couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she heard this, and knelt down to Sima Yi and said, "Prime Minister, since we have no chance of winning, why don't we just hold the emperor hostage and surrender?" In this way, the prime minister can also be regarded as a meritorious minister, and at least a county marquis will be crowned at that time, and it may even be a duke, in addition, the prime minister will give up senseless resistance, and he can also save the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, so that even if the world is unified, the people of Yecheng will praise the prime minister's kindness. ”

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "I really didn't expect that you would have a different heart at this time, but it's no wonder, Liu Qi's strength is strong, and our army will definitely be defeated, knowing that there will be a way to survive after surrendering, why do you have to insist on dying?" General Gao, is what he said right? ”

Gao Rou saw that Sima Yi's face was sinking like water, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The lower official does not mean this, and please ask the prime minister to be clear, the lower official is loyal to the prime minister's heart, and the sun and the moon can be revealed." Now that the enemy is present, please don't have doubts about the lower officials, so as not to give the enemy a chance. ”

But Sima Yi shouted loudly: "Enough, it's already this time, you don't have to be clever again, your true appearance naturally knows your mind." ”

After finishing speaking, Sima Yi ordered left and right: "Gao Rou, as a general, actually colluded with the Han army and intended to rebel, it is really hateful. ”

The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward, seized Gao Rou's sword, captured him, and put him on death row.

Seeing this, Gao Rou couldn't help but say loudly: "I am a dignified general, in charge of the military power in the world, what right do you have to detain me?" ”

But he heard Sima Yi say coldly: "Rebel ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, you dare to persuade the prime minister to surrender, and make the prime minister surrender to the Han Dynasty, isn't it considered a thief?" It's still too late to kill you today. ”

After that, he ordered: "Escort down, deprive him of the position of general, and be succeeded by Chen Jiao, the servant." ”

After that, Gao Rou was escorted to prison, endured all kinds of torture, and committed suicide within half a month.

At this time, Liu Qi's troops from all walks of life also came to the outside of Yecheng City, and surrounded Yecheng like an iron bucket.

Sima Yi ordered the soldiers in the city to resist to the death. Resolutely refused to surrender. In particular, let Cao Wei's clan and heroes rush to the front line of defending the city, and even in order to restrain them, he deliberately ordered people to control all their family members, and once they were found to have bad intentions, they would kill all their family members as punishment.

However, this did not stop the surrender of the city's soldiers, and the battle lasted only three days. There were Xiahou Hui, the captain of the city gate, Xiahou Wei, the captain of the middle base, Xiahou and the three brothers accepted the surrender of their brother Xiahou Ba, and were ready to open the city gate and let the Han army enter the city, but unexpectedly, after Sima Yi learned the news, the three brothers and their soldiers and family members were all killed, and the three Xiahou brothers were even more razed.

Sima Yi's iron-blooded policy did create an atmosphere of terror and slaughter, but it did not intimidate the opposition, but more and more soldiers joined the ranks of the rebellion.

After quelling the rebellion of the three Xiahou brothers. Xu Chu's son Xu Yi, Cao Ren's son Cao Tai, Guo Jia's son Guo Yi and others rebelled, this team had a chance to escape from the city, but unexpectedly they tried in vain to enter the city to kill Sima Yi, and then support Cao Rong, but they were killed by Sima Yi's soldiers.

And in this process, the reinforcements that Sima Yi was looking forward to were delayed, but in fact, this ending was also expected by him, because things were very simple. Since Liu Qi chose to besiege Yecheng with heavy troops, he would naturally set up ambushes to deal with the enemy's reinforcements. As a result, an ambush battle, Sun Li died in battle, but Sima Fu's army was jointly flanked by Liu Quanzhong's Hun soldiers and the navy led by Lu Xun, and after the defeat, he killed himself, and before he died, he still said that he was sorry for Cao Cao and Cao Pi in this life.

After that, the armies of Lu Xun and Liu Quanzhong occupied the Yan State. Liu Quanzhong was ordered to lead the Xiongnu army and Pang De to attack Guo Huai in Taiyuan, although Guo Huai fought bravely, but under the siege of powerful gunpowder weapons and hundreds of thousands of troops, he still had no power to fight back, and was besieged by the Han army. In the end, under the persuasion of Pound, he had no choice but to surrender.

Sergeant Cao Wei, who learned of this result, was even more desperate, in order to save their lives, they further launched a rebellion activity, and this time the level of the rebellion activity was further improved, and it reached the level of the three dukes.

First of all, Situ Dongzhao, this person actually stole the jade seal of the country, and then quietly slipped down the city gate and surrendered to Liu Qi. After Sima Yi heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood three liters, and almost fainted, he originally saw that this Dong Zhao's character was not good, and he was on guard against it, but because this person had made great achievements in the past few years and was loyal to himself, he treated him as a confidant, but he didn't expect this person to stab himself at the most critical moment.

And then something happened that made him even more desperate, the newly appointed general Chen Jiao quietly ordered to open the inner and outer city gates and let the Han army enter the city, and he only knew when the Han army surrounded the prime minister's mansion like a tide.

At this time, someone sent a letter from Chen Jiao, only to know that Chen Jiao was originally an undercover agent sent here by Liu Qi, he was originally Chen Deng's subordinate, and later after Chen Deng surrendered to Liu Qi, he pretended to flee to Cao Cao to gain trust, but he has been secretly accumulating strength, ready to help the Han Dynasty complete the unification, and now he happened to be appointed as a general, so he took the opportunity to dedicate the city and take refuge in Liu Qi.

After seeing this letter, Sima Yi almost blew up his lungs, he really didn't expect that his henchman Chen Jiao, who he had worked so hard to promote, would betray himself like this, in fact, strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a betrayal, because people have never been loyal to him at all, but now it's too late to say anything, the jade seal is gone, and the enemy army is also besieged outside the mansion, as long as he climbs for a moment, he will become someone else's prisoner.

"Hehe, I, Sima Yi, have always controlled my own destiny in my life, when will it be someone else's turn to manipulate my life and death? Even if he died, Sima Yi could not be humiliated in the slightest. ”

Sima Yi sneered, swung his sword horizontally, and then killed himself.

"Father......" The young Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and other brothers were all frightened when they saw Sima Yi kill himself, and hurriedly fell to his father's side and cried loudly.

"You, don't be afraid, as long as you keep to yourself and follow the rules, Liu Qi will definitely let you orphans and widows go, remember, don't think about avenging me, hehe, I was deceived and my ambitions are inflated, and I will inevitably die after all, you must remember the lesson."

After finishing speaking, Sima Yi turned his gaze to his wife Zhang Chunhua again, and said with difficulty: "Madam, these nine children are all entrusted to you, remember, the more ordinary they are, the more they can avoid trouble......

Speaking of which, Sima Yi didn't come up in one breath, he died in anger, a generation of traitors, he died like this, bidding farewell to the historical stage that gave him hope, but let his hope be shattered little by little.

Soon after Sima Yi died, he saw a sound of footsteps, and then he was wearing golden armor and slowly came to Sima Yi's corpse, and after a long time, he sighed: "In fact, Sima Zhongda is also a masterpiece, and his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Cao Mengde, but it's a pity that the situation is not good, even if he dies today, I'm afraid he will also hate Jiuquan." ”

Zhang Chunhua recognized the identity of this person at a glance, held back the grief in his heart, and bowed to Liu Qi: "The folk woman Zhang Chunhua, to see Your Majesty, the first husband did not know the times, went against the sky, and finally died, this is to blame, but the young son is innocent, I hope Your Majesty can pardon, the woman is willing to be a cow and a horse, and repay Your Majesty's great kindness." ”

Liu Qi knew that Sima Yi's sons were not a good thing, especially Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, who were the actual founders of the Jin Dynasty regime, and the others were not fuel-efficient lamps, the youngest Sima Lun was one of the main participants in the Eight Kings Rebellion, although now that the Cao Wei regime has fallen, Sima Yi is dead, and his nine sons have no support, and the possibility of success is very small, but Liu Qi can't help but take precautions, snort coldly, announce Sima Yi's many crimes, and order him to raze the three clans.

Zhang Chunhua didn't expect Liu Qi's actions to be so unexpected, which was completely unexpected by Sima Yi, but people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, even if she is resentful, she can't do anything.

Zhang Chunhua didn't know that with the appearance of Liu Qi, an outlier in history, there was a dynasty of more than 300 years in history, and it was this dynasty that made the family extremely prosperous from then on.

With the death of Sima Yi and the extinction of the Sima family, the power that controlled the supreme ruling group of Cao Wei was finally scattered, but Cao Ei, who had regained his freedom, did not feel the slightest relaxation in his heart, because he also knew that once the Sima clan was destroyed, he would not have any strength to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han Dynasty, so he accepted the suggestion of Sikong Wang Lang and led the Cao clan and hundreds of civil and military officials to go out of the palace and surrender to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi named Cao Ei as the Duke of Anping, and made him live in Luoyang, the purpose was naturally to facilitate control, and Cao Ei was also a smart person, Liu Qi left a life, and enjoyed the treatment of the duke, it was already an unexpected joy, and he closed the door in the future, just hiding at home to enjoy the joy of family, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao's descendants were able to be preserved, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

With the surrender of Cao Ei, the entire Jizhou also gave up resistance, and soon even Youzhou and other places also surrendered, and the land of China returned to reunification after nearly 40 years of war. (To be continued......)
