Zhao Zilong was skilled in arching horses, and when he saw someone coming over, he hurriedly pulled the reins, and the crotch mount raised his front hooves to the side, stopped suddenly, and at the same time pulled out the long knife under his waist. When he looked at the man again, he was already kneeling in front of the horse, and he was crying loudly with his head on the ground. Zhao Yun frowned and asked, "Who are you, dare to rush to me?!" ”

The man raised his head and shouted, "The last general, Liao Chunye, come to report the general's death letter!" ”

Liao Chun's character is Yuan Jian, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Liu Bei began to be similar to each other in Xinye, and entered the Guan Yu camp as the main book, and then accumulated merit until he became a general--in the original history, this person later changed his name to Liao Hua. It is said that because of this relationship, Li Yan and Wu Yi both killed Guan Yu, that is, closed Chengdu City, and searched for Guan Yu's old generals everywhere, and Liao Chun was not exempt. But he is more clever, after finding out the exact information, he first pretended to take poison and died, and then changed the clothes of the servants in the house, looked for the weak points of the city defense, and ran all the way to report Zhao Yun, and happened to bump into him on the way.

When the news of the coup d'état was said like this, Zhao Yun was shocked and angry: "How dare they do this?!" He immediately grabbed the person sent to report the news in Chengdu, tied him to a tree, whipped him more than 20 times with a horsewhip, and interrogated him severely. That person is just a small character, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the court, but he also knows that Guan Yu seems to be really dead, and now Li and Wu are in power in the city, and the four gates are closed, and they are only allowed to go out.

Zhao Yun hurriedly turned around and returned to Ruxian, and sent men and horses to firmly garrison - he did not dare to go directly to Chengdu as Xu Shu said, first, the enemy situation was unknown, and second, his subordinates were all new soldiers, who had only been trained for three months, and their combat effectiveness was very limited. At the same time, he sent people to report urgently to Liu Feng and several generals guarding the field, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Gan Ning, asking them to wave their troops together to kill the thieves and rebel.

Over there, Liu Feng heard that Liu Bei wanted to establish himself as his heir, so he dressed up diligently. But not far after he walked out, he was caught up by Zhao Yun's messenger. Liu Feng was shocked again, and he was also a little happy - sure enough, the lord of Shu should be in me! Quickly fled back to Nanzheng and went to discuss with Zhang Fei and Huang Quan.

When Zhang Fei heard that Guan Yu was killed, he went crazy on the spot. Ordered the three armies to go together to avenge Guan Yu. Huang Quan finally grabbed him and said: "Hanzhong is the gateway to Shu, and the general is now abandoning the defense and going south, if Cao Wei hears the news and comes to attack, what can I do?" If Hanzhong is lost, that is, the son will enter Chengdu, what is the benefit? "Zhang Fei said, what do you mean? Could it be that if we are working with this, they thieves will not be able to catch them?

Huang Quan said that the army can be launched in two ways - General Zhang, you are not eager for revenge. If you don't want to live in Hanzhong, then let me keep Liu Feng to take half of the soldiers and horses south to take over Zhao Yun's garrison, and then transfer Zhao Yun back to defend Hanzhong. Now you have to hurry up and write to Ma Chao and Gan Ning, asking them to help protect the eldest prince, and when Zhao Yun comes, you can rush to the front line to preside over the overall situation. As long as the city is in our hands, Chengdu will only have the power to protect itself. There is no ability to counterattack, so Ma Chao, Gan Ning and other troops arrive. The thief must be beheaded.

Of course, don't forget to say hello to Ma, Gan and other generals, asking them to leave the defense area, but also leave the elite soldiers to guard, and leave the Wei army to take advantage of the weakness.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to follow what Huang Quan said. Wait until Huang Quan and Liu Feng are gone. The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and ordered the army to rush to make white clothes, wear filial piety for Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and he didn't live in Nanzheng City. Moved to the barracks outside the city, and drank alcohol day and night to relieve his sorrows - when he was drunk, he ordered the sergeant to sumo wrestling, and whoever lost he would take it upon himself and whip him as punishment.

In addition, when Li Yan and Wu Yi learned that the news was exposed, they simply forged an edict on Liu Bei's throne -- not a succession, in order to avoid turmoil in the hearts of the people, and pretended that Liu Bei was not dead -- to help Liu Chan ascend the throne. Empress Wu hugged the little emperor to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, and Wu Yi was the general, Li Yan was the Taifu, and the shooting aid was Situ, and they were in charge of the government together. also sent Xu Shu an edict to worship Sikong, but Xu Yuanzhi politely refused.

Wu Yi was bent on establishing a dynasty and auxiliary government, and according to the practice of the Later Han Dynasty, he served as a general and a scholar as a foreign relative, of course he refused to go to Xu Ma Chao as a general according to what Xu Shu said. Liu Bei's edict was to use Zhang Fei as a hussar general, under Guan Yu, and now Wu Yi sent this name to Ma Chao, and at the same time promised to enter Gan Ning as a chariot general, and asked them to attack from east to west, so as to defeat Zhang Fei - at least Zhang Yide must be temporarily contained in Hanzhong.

Immediately, Bai Mengda was the general of Zhenbei, and the generals Wu Ban, Feng Xi, Zhang Ren, and Ling Bao led the army north to attack Ruoxian. This county is where the Guanghan County Office is located, and it is the old rule of Yizhou, which was once hit by a natural fire, and most of the government offices in the city were burned, so Liu Yan was forced to move to Chengdu. However, if it is not for arson, and if it is not treated, the city wall will not be burned after all, and it has been decades since Liu Yan moved away, and now the city defense is strong, and Zhao Yun is defending, Mencius has not been able to take it for more than ten days.

Immediately, Liu Feng and Huang Quan led the soldiers and horses to kill violently, and Meng Da was not in a good position to fight and was forced to retreat to Chengdu. When he entered the city, Liu Feng heard something, Liu Chan's yellow-mouthed son had already ascended the throne in Chengdu, and he was so angry that he kicked several cases to smash: "I am also the son of Zhang Tianzi!" "Lao Tzu is the true emperor of the first emperor's will!

Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded and said: "The son has a true son of heaven, how can he be similar to a usurper?" "Emperor Liu Chan's name is not right, and his words are not good, you don't have to be like him. If you wait to enter Chengdu and sue the temple, you can be the real emperor, and now you will play the banner of the Son of Heaven first, but you will be looked down upon by others - why rush for a while?

But the more he persuaded him, the more ugly Liu Feng's face became. Zhao Yun was very thoughtful, and saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came up to stop Huang Quan and said: "If the name is not right, then the words are not good, that is, the public ...... If you don't claim the title of emperor first, you should also be the crown prince to show that orthodoxy is in me. Liu Feng's expression was barely soothed, so he proclaimed himself the prince of the Han Dynasty, and put up the prince's flag and umbrella cover on the same day.

Zhao Yun said goodbye to Liu Feng and led his troops north to replace Zhang Fei, but he hadn't been able to go to Nanzheng, and suddenly heard the news that Zhang Fei was already dead!

It turned out that according to Huang Quan's plan, the news of Liu Bei's death and the coup d'état in Chengdu should be conveyed to the remote level for the time being, and it was not appropriate to announce it to everyone, so as not to shake the morale of the army. But Zhang Fei was anxious and couldn't afford to wait, as soon as Liu Feng and Huang Quan left, he was busy making white clothes and wearing filial piety, and for a while rumors were flying all over the sky, and what absurd statements came out, but all kinds of statements were also the same, that is, Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had died!

Zhang Fei's subordinates have two generals, both of whom came from Jingzhou, one Zhang Da and two Fan Qiang, who are afraid of flying. When this person was panicked, coupled with Zhang Fei's daily whipping of the soldiers, the soldiers and generals were miserable, and suddenly there was news that Wudu Ma Chao and Bazhong Ganning led the army to attack, and the two generals panicked, so they took advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness and lie down, sneaked into the tent to assassinate him, and then wrapped the head with cloth, rushed into the slope, and went north to Guanzhong to vote for Cao Wei.

At this time, it was Cao Zhen who was in charge of Chang'an, and he had already learned of the turmoil in Shuzhong through the messenger - even if Liu Bei did not mourn, but first Chengdu was blocked, and then Meng Da attacked Luo County in the north, so much noise came out, unless Cao Wei's spies were blind and deaf, it was impossible to be unaware of it--After receiving Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, and after checking Zhang Fei's head, he hurriedly dispatched fast horses to Luoyang to deliver the message.

Besides, Cao Cao has been lingering on the sickbed, this disease is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when it is good, it is no different from ordinary people, but unfortunately it cannot last for a few days, and when it is bad, he will not be able to die for three or five days -- even if there are famous doctors such as Zhang Zhongjing to diagnose and treat him, there is no improvement. Since he established Cao Chao as his heir, he took this imperial grandson with him all day long and taught him government affairs hand in hand: when he could get up, every time he had a meeting with the prime minister, he would make Cao Chao sit and listen; When he couldn't get up, he ordered Cao Chao to recite the recital in front of the couch, Cao Cao dictated the approval, and Cao Chao recorded it.

On this day, he couldn't get up again, and his head was cracking, and he lay stiff on the couch and just hummed. Cao Chao was reciting the chapter next to him, and when he read that there was civil strife in Shuzhong, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were dead, Cao Cao suddenly sat up with a "poof", and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Sure enough, the destiny of heaven is in Wei Ye!" ”

Almost instantly, his head didn't hurt anymore, his body didn't hurt anymore, he jumped down directly with bare feet, snatched the music from Cao Chao's hand, stared at it twice with wide eyes, and then called the attendants: "Quickly summon the important ministers to discuss!" ”

The time was not long, and the important ministers entered the palace one after another to meet them, and they were all stunned when they saw Cao Zhen playing. To say that Cao Zhen's recital is written in great detail, the information obtained by the spies, as well as the news that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da got from Zhang Fei, plus his own analysis and summary, are all gathered - if not, it will be faster to send the message through the carrier pigeon, but the pigeon book should not be too long, and it can only describe its general outline, so it is sent to the urgent delivery to play.

Shixun frowned while looking at it, and said in his heart that this thing is a little too absurd...... Could it really be that God blessed the Wei Dynasty? If Liu Bei died suddenly, although it was unexpected, it was reasonable, he was in his fifties, and he might have swallowed his breath one day. History has changed, and it's normal to die a decade early.

Especially when people reach a certain age, their psychological tolerance may be improved, but once they break through a certain boundary, it is easy to damage the function of internal organs due to emotional twists and turns, resulting in a sickness. In the original history, Liu Bei was because of the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Sun Wu, and he felt that he had no face to see people, and he stayed in Yong'an for a long time, and then he was "sick at first but had diarrhea, and then turned into miscellaneous diseases, and he couldn't help himself", so he hung up. This time, he suffered from Cao Wei's strong military pressure, and wanted to attack and defend, and take Guanzhong in the north, not only failed to make contributions, but Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, who were right-hand men, passed away one after another, so he died of grief and depression, and there was nothing suspicious.

But why did Wu Yi and Li Yan dare to launch a coup d'état and kill Guan Yu in the palace? Didn't Liu Bei consider this danger before he died? Didn't he leave anything behind to prevent chaos in the event of a change of power? With Liu Bei's wisdom, he shouldn't have made such a big oolong, right?! (To be continued.) )
