Chapter 542: Officially Attack Cao Pi
On this day, the sun was blazing on the earth, and Xi Yu led his troops to march forward with firm steps.
The soldiers were dressed in heavy armor and armed with sharp weapons, and their eyes revealed a determination to see death as if they were home.
Xi Yu rode a strong war horse, his figure was tall and mighty.
He raised his sword and shouted to the soldiers, "Warriors! Today is the moment for us to compete with Cao Pi! We will fight for righteousness, for glory!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, "Follow the king to the death!" Their voices were thunderous and majestic.
Xi Yu's troops marched in an orderly manner, their steps steady and powerful, as if the earth was trembling for them.
In the sunlight, their armor shimmered with dazzling light, forming a magnificent sight.
Xi Yu stared ahead, his eyes full of determination and confidence.
He knew it was a life-and-death contest, but he believed in his soldiers, their courage and strength.
At this time, a general rode up to Xi Yu and reported, "King, Cao Pi's army has been found ahead!"
Xi Yu nodded slightly, his voice calm and firm: "Prepare to fight!" Let us defeat the enemy with courage and wisdom!"
The soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, their breathing becoming rapid, and the desire to fight burned in their hearts.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was tense and solemn, as if a storm was coming.
Xi Yu leads his troops and prepares for this fateful battle. They are convinced that victory will be theirs and to the side of justice.
Xi Yu's eyes were like torches, staring at the enemy line in the distance. He waved the sword in his hand and shouted, "Warriors, today's battle is a matter of life and death! We will rush to the enemy with fearless courage and let them see what is at stake!"
The soldiers responded passionately, their cries echoing across the battlefield, stirring everyone's hearts.
With Xi Yu's order, the troops rushed forward like a raging torrent.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and the figures of the warriors loomed in the hustle and bustle.
In the same way, Cao Pi also encouraged the soldiers in the early morning, and the soldiers were also full of confidence.
Cao Pi's army was also unrelenting, and they met Xi Yu's attack with tight defenses.
"Xi Yu has arrived, let's not be polite, cheer up the spirit, brothers, do you have confidence?"
"Cao Gong, we have confidence."
"This guy not only used a divisive tactic to make Ben Hou kill Sima Yi, but also reclaimed the two Sima brothers from the sea, this blood feud, we can't help but revenge."
Cao Pi thought to himself, because many people are looking towards Sima Yi in their hearts, so he will talk about Sima Yi's affairs, which will definitely be inspiring.
And this time, many soldiers are really like chicken blood, they regard Xi Yu as the number one enemy, and they are indignant in their hearts.
That's right, it directly caused the Sima family to perish.
This guy is really hateful.
The soldiers on both sides fought each other in close combat, and in an instant, the sound of metal clash and fighting resounded throughout the battlefield.
Xi Yu took the lead, his swordsmanship was extremely powerful, and every swing of the sword carried a deadly threat.
His figure is like the god of war, inspiring the soldiers to fight bravely.
In the heat of battle, Xi Yu meets an enemy general in a narrow way.
"You're Cao Pi's lackey! Today is your time of death!" Xi Yu shouted angrily.
"I am Cao Gong's loyal general, and I will definitely fight with you! What kind of thing are you?" The other party responded.
The two embark on a thrilling duel, sword to sword, and they don't give in to each other.
However, Xi Yu's combat experience and virtuosity allowed him to gain the upper hand. He grabbed a flaw in the opponent and stabbed out with a sword, hitting the opponent's vital point with precision.
The enemy general fell in a pool of blood, a jolting victory
It boosted the morale of the soldiers.
They fought the enemy even more bravely, determined to achieve ultimate victory.
On the battlefield, blood stained the land red, and gunsmoke filled the entire space.
But Xi Yu and his troops did not flinch, and they marched firmly towards victory.
After a fierce battle, Xi Yu's troops finally broke through Cao Pi's defenses. The enemy began to rout, fleeing backwards.
Seeing this, Xi Yu raised his long sword and shouted again, "Pursuit! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"
The soldiers responded to his call and launched a swift pursuit. Their cheers echoed across the battlefield, symbolizing the approach of victory.
Cao Pi stood on the chariot with a gloomy face, watching his army demoralize, and the anger in his heart burned like a flame.
His eyes widened, glaring at Xi Yu in the distance, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xi Yu, you traitor! You originally followed my father Cao Cao, but now you have started a new business, and your behavior is simply a betrayal of your father!"
When Xi Yu heard Cao Pi's accusation, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
He straightened up, the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and responded, "Cao Pi, you used to call me uncle before, but now you call me by my name, I am not a traitor. Although Cao Cao was a hero, his time had passed. Today, the people of the world yearn for peace and stability, but you have brought war and suffering. I'm just following the will of the people and fighting for the sake of the people in the world."
At this time, the wind and sand on the battlefield became more and more violent, and the flags were blown loudly.
Cao Pi's face became more and more hideous, he pointed at Xi Yu, with a hint of desperation in his voice: "Don't use the so-called popular will to defend yourself! It's all your conspiracy!"
Xi Yu looked at Cao Pi quietly, his eyes revealing firmness and confidence. He said slowly, "The will of the people is the trend of the times. If you don't know the times and go against the trend, you will only perish."
Cao Pi's heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness, he knew that his army was already at a disadvantage, but he still refused to give up easily.
He clutched the reins in his hand and shouted, "I will not give in! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Xi Yu shook his head slightly and sighed, "You are dying and struggling, meaningless. Only by letting go of obsession and following the trend can we give the people a peaceful future. I still hope that you will surrender, and that my doors here are open for you at all times."
To be honest, Xi Yu doesn't hate Cao Pi, not just because in his previous life, Cao Pi was a hero.
In this life, Xi Yu also has a trace of affection for Cao Pi.
Cao Pi's face was pale, and he stared blankly at the chaotic situation on the battlefield, and his heart tingled.
He had thought that he might fail, but when he really faced the reality of failure, the uncomfortable feeling still came over him like a tide.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice to the generals around him, "We can't just back down like this! We still have a chance, and if we keep going, we could turn the tide of the battle!"
The generals looked at Cao Pi, and their eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and confusion.
They knew that the situation was already very critical, but out of loyalty to Cao Pi, they still responded.
The Cao soldiers barely pulled themselves together under Cao Pi's orders, and they clenched their weapons and continued to fight against Xi Yu's army.
However, their hearts are already filled with fear.
Xi Yu shouted to his soldiers, "Brothers, Cao's army has reached the end of its rope, but we must not take it lightly. Give them the final blow and let them know what we're capable of!"
The soldiers responded in unison, and their morale burned like flames. With fearless courage, they rushed to Cao's army and fought a final decisive battle.
On the battlefield, the sounds of killing and shouts mingle to form a tragic symphony.
Cao Pi watched his soldiers fall one by one, and his heart was full of pain and despair. He realized that the war was irreparable.
Eventually, Cao's defenses were completely breached, and they began to flee in all directions. Cao Pi stared blankly
Everything, my heart is full of helplessness and remorse.
Xi Yu looked at Cao Pi in front of him, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He knew that his former opponent had reached the end of his rope, but he still maintained his last dignity.
Xi Yu said softly, "Cao Pi, now that the overall situation has been decided, are you still unwilling to surrender?"
Cao Pi raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Ke can't be killed, as Cao Cao's son, I will never surrender to you!"
Xi Yu sighed, he knew that Cao Pi was a stubborn person, but he didn't want to kill him easily.
Xi Yu said, "Cao Pi, you are a talented person, if you are willing to surrender to me, I can guarantee your life safety and give you a chance to display your talents."
Cao Pi smiled, he knew that Xi Yu was giving him a step, but he still insisted on his position.
Cao Pi said, "Xi Yu, you don't need to say more. I've decided that I'd rather die than surrender to you."
Xi Yu was silent for a moment, he knew that Cao Pi had made his choice.
Xi Yu said, "In that case, then I can only respect your choice."
After speaking, Xi Yu waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take Cao Pi away.
Cao Pi was escorted out of the camp by the soldiers, his face pale, but his eyes were always steadfast.
At this time, it suddenly rained in the sky, and the rain hit Cao Pi's body, making him feel a chill.
Cao Pi raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that this might be the last time he would see the sky.
Xi Yu stood at the door of the tent, looking at the back of Cao Pi being taken away, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.
Xi Yu said, "Cao Pi, you are a respectable opponent. If you weren't Cao Cao's son, maybe we could be friends."
After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and walked into the camp, he knew that this war was over, but his mission was not yet complete. He wants to bring true peace and tranquility to the people of the world.
Xi Yu looked at the remaining Cao soldiers and shouted, "Those who are willing to surrender can submit to me; Those who do not want to surrender can go home freely."
When the soldiers of the Cao army heard this, they were all very surprised. They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Is this true? Shall we be free to go home?" A soldier asked, confused.
Xi Yu nodded, and said in a firm tone, "I Xi Yu has said everything, and it is difficult for the horse to chase. As long as you really want to go home, I will never interfere."
At this time, several soldiers hesitated, slowly put down their weapons, and walked in the direction of home.
Xi Yu quietly watched them leave and did not stop them.
Seeing this scene, more soldiers began to be moved. They laid down their arms and joined the procession home.
"Let's go home too, this war has already cost us too much." A soldier said.
"yes, it's better to go home and see your family and live a peaceful life." Another soldier chimed in.
However, there were also some soldiers who chose to surrender. They walked up to Xi Yu and expressed their willingness to follow him.
"I believe in you, King. We are willing to serve you." Said a soldier who surrendered.
Xi Yu looked at them with a smile, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. "Very well, welcome to my team. From today onwards, we will work together for peace."
At this time, the sky gradually cleared, and the sun shone on the soldiers, illuminating their faces.
Xi Yu looked at the departed and left soldiers, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
He knew that no matter what choices these soldiers made, they needed a fresh start.
In this era of war, everyone is looking for their own home. And Xi Yu hopes that he can give these soldiers a real home, a peaceful and tranquil world
。
After that, Xi Yu stood on the tower, and the wind blew his robe.
His gaze was firm and steady, looking down on the people below.
"Folks!" Xi Yu shouted loudly, his voice clear and loud, echoing over Luoyang City, "Luoyang is now officially under the jurisdiction of this king! This king will certainly be kind to the people."
Before the words were spoken, the people rushed forward, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
The arrival of Xi Yu seems to have brought them new hope.
"Welcome to the King!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Your Majesty, you will definitely let us live a stable life!" Another said.
Xi Yu smiled and waved to the people, his eyes full of confidence and determination.
However, there were also some people in the crowd who were talking in private.
"He's plotting to usurp the throne!" A man whispered.
"You can't say that, the Cao family is cruel and unkind, and the world has suffered for a long time. Maybe it can bring us a better life." Another retorted.
These discussions did not reach Xi Yu's ears.
Xi Yu turned to the generals around him and said, "We must restore Luoyang to life as soon as possible, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
The generals nodded their heads.
The sun shone on Xi Yu's body, outlining a layer of golden brilliance for him.
He looked into the distance, and a sense of pride and ambition swelled in his heart. The future of Luoyang will be written by him and his army.
In the following days, Xi Yu decided to keep people to actively govern Luoyang.
He will promulgate a series of policies to benefit the people to reduce the burden on the people, and at the same time strengthen the city's defenses to ensure the safety of the place.
Soon, Xi Yu came to Cao's mansion.
He found a place to sit down, and although he said that he would kill Cao Pi, he finally decided to only bring Cao Pi back to Youzhou.
He couldn't really kill Cao Pi. Let's put Cao Pi under house arrest first.
As for everything in this Cao Mansion, it will also be confiscated.
Xi Yu suddenly frowned, and suddenly found that there was a problem that he had ignored.
"Who should be in charge of Luoyang?" He muttered to himself.
He thought about it for a while, and suddenly a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Someone!" Xi Yu shouted.
A soldier entered.
"Pass my order and invite Sun Quan to Luoyang as soon as possible." Xi Yu said.
The soldier took the order and left, and Xi Yu's heart settled down a little.
"Sun Quan is a rare talent, and it may be a good choice for him to manage Luoyang." Xi Yu thought to himself.
As for the business association in Youzhou, Xi Yu decided to change another person to manage it.
Xi Yu decided to stay in Luoyang for a few more days to observe the situation in the city and also think about his next steps.
"Someone." Xi Yu called softly.
A soldier hurried forward and saluted respectfully.
"You return to Youzhou immediately and tell the ladies the news of my occupation of Luoyang." Xi Yu said in a firm tone, "Let them not worry, I'm fine."
After receiving the order, the soldier quickly left. Xi Yu looked at his distant back, and a wave of longing for his family surged in his heart.
At night in Luoyang, the lights are brilliant.
Stroll through the streets and feel the unique atmosphere here.
The streets and alleys are filled with the aroma of delicious food, and the cries of vendors come and go.
Xi Yu came to a restaurant and found a place by the window to sit down. He sipped the food and wine while observing the crowd around him.
"Did you hear that? Xi Yu has occupied Luoyang!" The people at the next table were talking excitedly.
"I hope he can bring us a better life." Another said.
Listening to their conversation, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility in his heart. He knew that he had the expectations of the people on his shoulders and that he had to work hard to make the city a better place.
A few days go by in a flash. During his days in Luoyang, Xi Yu had an in-depth understanding of the city's customs and customs.
And on this day, the soldier in charge of reporting finally came to Youzhou and met several ladies.
Several ladies were very happy to learn that Xi Yu was safe and sound and had been given Luoyang.
These days they play poker to celebrate.
Another soldier rushed to the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce to find Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was also very happy to learn that Xi Yu got Luoyang.
But what did Xi Yu do in the past? Is there a chamber of commerce formed?
He then asked the soldier who had told the news, what was he going to do?
The soldier shook his head immediately.
"The little one doesn't know, so it's better for Sun Gongzi to hurry over."
Sun Quan nodded, and finally explained some things to the Chamber of Commerce, and then packed up his things and hurried to Luoyang.
Soon, in Youzhou Academy, Wen Xuan also learned the news of Xi Yu's victory.
However, she did not have a particularly happy taste in her heart.
At noon that day, many teachers were discussing this matter, and everyone was elated, but Lu Su found that Wenxuan was not particularly excited.
"The Great King is about to take over the entire Central Plains, don't you think it's a good thing? Mr. Wenxuan". (End of chapter)
