A few days after the news of Cao Ying's death was officially closed, Zhao Feng resigned to Liu Bei and prepared to return to Xichuan, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him after all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Bei didn't keep it, but personally summoned Zhao Feng and Zhang Ren and other meritorious officials who sent troops this time in Chang'an, and then each crowned them with official positions. In addition, Wang Ping was transferred to guard Tongguan, and Zhao Fengzi and Zhang Ren and others returned to Xichuan. Before leaving, Liu Bei also explained: When Zhao Feng feels that it is hot enough, he will send troops to clean up Sima Yi, and there is no need to ask himself for instructions. Although the soldiers and horses of Xichuan and the three eastern counties were called by him at will, Guanzhong and Xiliang could also be informed. Of course, if the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong attack Hanzhong, they will naturally need Zhao Feng's Xichuan soldiers and horses to respond or respond.

Because the road in Hanzhong was no longer open at this time, Zhao Feng and others still took the Wuguan Road, went out of the Guanzhong to Jingxiang, and then took the Yangtze River waterway to return to Xichuan. After a big detour, I returned to Chengdu.

Returned to Chengdu, disbanded the army and rested for a while. This time, Zhao Feng sent troops, although he used a lot of troops, but the casualties were not very large, and he also won the pass, which can be said to be a complete victory. Although Huang Quan and the others knew the plan in advance, when Zhao Feng really returned victorious, everyone still felt that it was not easy. It was a night when everyone held a banquet to celebrate, not only Zhao Feng and other people who went on the expedition, but even Huang Quan and others who stayed behind also had their own rewards, and they were all happy.

"The general won Guanzhong in one fell swoop, even if it is the reincarnation of Sun Wu in ancient times, it is just such a use of soldiers!" Huang Quan drank too much, and this sycophant was sent one by one. Zhao Feng drank too much, and his head was a little dizzy, but he still had time to ask: "What happened to Sima Yi?" ”

"Sima Yi was blocked by General Zhang Gongyi and Chen Cangcheng could not advance an inch, and later he also wanted to attack Xichuan while our troops were insufficient, but they were all repelled by Lu Boyan!" Fa Zheng said with a smile. Li Hui on the side added: "Now Nanzhong is also very calm, and everything is fine in Xichuan!" ”

"That's good!" Zhao Feng nodded and said, everyone understood that with Sima Yi's current state, it was really only a matter of time before he was cleaned up. Although the land of Hanzhong is fertile, the people are currently only more than 500,000 people, and Sima Yi can only recruit tens of thousands of horses if he dies, plus Xicheng and other places are still in the hands of Zhao Feng, and they are still heavily guarded, so the territory he actually controls is even inferior to Zhang Lu at the beginning.

For the rest of the day, Zhao Feng also relaxed himself a little, Xichuan's political affairs were mainly in charge of Huang Quan and others, and Zhao Feng himself was very idle. Of course, he still knows in his heart that if nothing else, he will soon be promoted. When it is, it depends on whether Cao Pi gives it or not.

Cao Pi naturally didn't know that Zhao Feng in Chengdu was talking about him. Now he is very busy, after Cao Ying's burial, Cao Pi accepted all the gifts left by his father non-stop, and became the king and prime minister of Wei in the Han Dynasty. Of course, Cao Pi's pursuit is not limited to this.

A few days later, in the morning, Doctor Guanglu, Zhenwei Zhonglang, admonished Cheng Yu, claiming that according to Taishi Ling, he had been observing the sky at night for several months, and found that the emperor star was dim and his deeds were not obvious, which showed that the Han Dynasty had exhausted its qi. And in the past few days, there are unicorns in the west of Yecheng, and there are yellow dragons everywhere in Puyang, and there is a purple light in front of it, enveloping the Wei Palace, all kinds of auspicious signs, and so on. But there is only one meaning I want to express, that is, Cao Pili is a contemporary Han dynasty, inherits the unification, and sits on the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Please also ask Your Majesty to follow the will of heaven and respond to the favor of people, and say that he will go to the altar and let Cao Pi as soon as possible.

At this time, the Han Emperor was eleven years old, and the court affairs were originally decided by a group of ministers, but now when he encountered this kind of thing, he immediately panicked. When the courtiers heard this, they had their own reactions. Although the Han family is declining, there are still people who have the Han family in mind. Many people were vocal in their opposition at the moment, but most wisely chose to remain silent. After all, Cao Pi inherited all the rights of Cao Ying, and it was very unwise to go against him.

After killing a few early birds, the Han Emperor, who had already been frightened stupidly, trembled, and stamped the jade seal on the edict of Zen for him set by Huaxin. Of course, although he couldn't wait, Cao Pi still had to make a gesture, so he began to push and let go, and then push and let go, until three pushes, which was only under the grandeur of everyone's fists, and finally "forced to be difficult" to be sealed on the altar.

In the autumn of 213 AD, in October of the third year of the Great Han Huanglong. Under the support of the ministers, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, although he resigned in every possible way, but he still went to the altar to receive Zen, and officially became the son of heaven on behalf of the Han Dynasty, the country name was Wei, and it was Emperor Wen of Wei, and his father Cao Ying was posthumously crowned as Emperor Wu of Wei, and his mother Bian was the queen mother. and set up his wife Xin Xianying as the queen, and his son Cao Rui as the prince of the East Palace.

Feng Jiaxu was appointed as a lieutenant, the head of a hundred officials, and there was no position of prime minister; Xiahoudun was a general, and he was in charge of military affairs; Cao Hong was a hussar general, his younger brother Cao Zhang was a chariot general, and Cao Zhen was a Wei general. The rest should be civil and military officials, each with a reward. Cao Pizi led his ministers to worship his ancestors, and then he officially ascended the throne. After ascending the throne, Cao Pi demoted the Han Emperor to the Duke of Puyang and expelled Yecheng to Puyang. When the news came, the world was shocked.

Guanzhong is very close to Hebei, and it didn't take long for the news of Cao Pi's establishment on behalf of the Han Dynasty to reach Chang'an. At this time, Liu Bei, who was unprepared for this, was busy appeasing the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. After Sima Yi retired from Hanzhong, the original Jingzhao Yin Zhongxuan was nowhere to be found, but after Meng Jian was captured, he refused to cooperate and committed suicide by hunger strike. Therefore, the only ones who really surrendered were Xiahoulan, Du Xi and others. Although these people are not outstanding talents, they have their skills after all, and after Liu Bei personally met them, they were also appeased one by one, and then they were hired.

Just when Liu Bei received the old ministers of Guanzhong, a sudden rush of footsteps came from behind him. Liu Bei was slightly surprised, who dared to gallop in his palace? Turning his head to look, it was Sun Qian, who had always been calm, and he was even more surprised this time.

"Gongyou, why are you so alarmed?" Liu Bei asked a little strangely. After Sun Gan stood still when he heard this, his lips trembled for a long time, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I said that after Cao Pi inherited his father's throne, he coerced the Son of Heaven to take the throne with him, and he was already said to have ascended the altar on the outskirts of Yecheng to receive Zen and usurped the Han Dynasty as the emperor!" ”

"What?" Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim, and Sun Qian was already in tears at this time. "Lord, a four-hundred-year-old man, just die!" After Sun Qian finished speaking, he had already fallen to the ground and cried.

"Lord, the matter has come to this, please mourn the change on Lord's Day!" Zhuge Liang and Lu Su on the side saw that Liu Bei's hands were already trembling, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Bei, while Jian Yong forked Sun Qian. Liu Bei looked into the distance with empty eyes, and only after a while did he shed tears, and then cried: "God, I, Liu Bei, have gone through hardships in my life, in order to revive the Han Dynasty. Now the Han dynasty has not been restored, but the 400-year-old state of the Han Dynasty has been severed, what is the meaning of my life? After saying this, Liu Bei suddenly convulsed, and then fainted. Lu Su and the others were naturally in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor came in the middle of the morning, and after diagnosis, Liu Bei was only fainted because he was stimulated, so he was temporarily fainted, and there was no big problem. It's just that in a short period of time, it's better to recuperate, and everyone is relieved.

In the afternoon, Liu Bei woke up leisurely, and on the couch, he sent someone to summon Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei and other three, telling them that they were not in good health now, and that everything would be handled by them for the time being. When the three of them walked out of Liu Bei's bedroom, they were speechless for a long time, and finally Zhang Fei was the first to sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that as soon as Cao Ying died, his son would be called the emperor like this, which is really unexpected." ”

"The Cao clan has long had the intention of usurping, this matter is not surprising!" Lu Su shook his head and said, at this time, Bu Fei and Mi Zhu and others who came to hear the news had also arrived in a hurry, and after everyone saluted, they were relieved to learn that Liu Bei was fine.

"Cao Yingxin died, Cao Pi dared to usurp the Han and stand, which will inevitably cause instability among the people of Hebei, this move is very unwise, why would Cao Pi do such an unwise act?" After reacting, it was Bu Fei who was the first to raise his own questions. Don't say it's him, almost everyone has this doubt. Zhuge Liang and Lu Su glanced at each other, and finally Lu Su said uncertainly: "I think it's still Cao Pi who knows that there is not much, so he takes a risk and stands on behalf of Han!" Everyone thinks about it, and only this reason can make sense, Cao Pi does know that he is unable to compete with Liu Bei for the world, and now he just wants to rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to occupy the land of Jiyou and other four states, divide one side, and also live the addiction of being an emperor.

"Princes and generals, rather have a kind of thing, such bold words are really harmful!" Zhuge Liang also shook his head and sighed slightly, and everyone sighed. After all, the Han Dynasty has existed for more than 400 years, and they have all regarded themselves as loyal ministers of the Han family throughout their lives. Now that the Han Dynasty has been usurped like this, even if it is a person who can calm down, he can't help but sigh now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, it seems that when the first emperor was killed on the outskirts of Yecheng, it was also done by this person. In this case, as long as the lord's health improves, he can march east to exterminate this traitor! It was Zhang Zhao's eldest son who spoke, the new Jingzhao Yin Zhang Cheng, and everyone nodded yes. In fact, even if there is no such thing, it is imperative for Liu Bei to exterminate Cao Pi, but he can't wait to usurp the Han now, and he has nothing to do.

"Zhonghei's words are true, but right now, there is one more urgent thing!" Lu Su is quite meaningful. As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang and the others were thoughtful and nodded one after another.

After a few days, when Liu Bei's health improved slightly and he began to personally serve the council, he found that in the past few days, the official documents had piled up. Liu Bei folded his spirits, picked up one of them and opened it to take a look, this surprise was not trivial.

"Third brother, what do you mean by this!" Liu Bei looked at this Zhang Fei's recital, but the content of it was that Zhang Fei advised him to conform to the will of heaven and the people, and said that he would ascend the throne as the emperor in Chang'an, so as to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han dynasty and inspire people to crusade against Cao Pi. Liu Bei put down this piece with a little headache, and then picked up a few points to take a look, the content was also similar, all of them were Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others who gave advice to Liu Bei to ascend the throne and become emperor.

At this time, Liu Bei also knew that the matter was more urgent, and hurriedly summoned everyone to come to discuss it.
