Chapter 52: Don't be in a hurry to die

Many people despise Deng Ai, thinking that this guy relied on luck to destroy the Shu Kingdom.

However, to be able to lead the soldiers over the 700 miles of the forbidden land of mankind, and then roll down the cliff, and then take this tired army to defeat Zhuge Dan's Praetorian Guard head-on, and then break through Chengdu, this is simply a miracle in the history of war.

Many people took pity on Deng Ai and thought that it was too unjust to be killed.

However, this guy really sat in Liu Chan's position, and canonized the civil and military officials in the name of the Son of Heaven, and canonized the Yizhou Assassin History, without saying a word at all.

He didn't want to rebel, to be honest, after he broke through Chengdu, even if he incorporated the army of Shu, he was not the opponent of the main army at all, and he could win more with less in the face of Shu, you faced Wei, even the most elite Chinese army and a large number of commanders and generals, do you still want to reproduce?

But if he dared to give the order to rebel, his soldiers had to run first.

Their families are all in Weidi.

If you don't want to rebel, why do these things that will anger the emperor?

Cao Chao predicted these situations, but he was not too panicked.

This time, the boss is not Zhong Hui, Zhuge Dan is still more rational, and there are Chen Qian and these people, even if Deng Ai does these things, they will not do it directly, they still have to send a message to ask what they mean, and then deal with it.

As long as it does not cause a civil war and causes a rebellion in Chengdu, then it is no problem.

Cao Chao led everyone out of the city again at this moment, and his purpose was Hanzhong.

Ministers, including Zhang Hua, objected to the emperor's actions.

Although Shu has been broken, it has not been completely unified after all, there may still be rebellious soldiers, and those generals who surrendered are not sure whether they will have a backstab, and the road to Shu is difficult to walk, so it is best not to go to Hanzhong.

But Cao Chao also has his own ideas.

He is not just the emperor of the Wei people, he is the emperor of the people of the world.

How can there be an emperor in the world who doesn't even dare to go to his own territory?

Go to Hanzhong, where he summons the ministers of the Hao family, and at the same time let the Shu people understand that the new emperor has arrived.

Cao Chao has a lot of ideas in his heart.

At this moment, Cao Chao is already the emperor with real power, and he insists on going to Hanzhong, but no matter how much the ministers oppose it, there is no way to stop it.

Zhang Hua and others had no choice but to send someone to inform Chen Tai and Du Pre, who were in the Wudu of Hanzhong at the moment, so that they could prepare to welcome the emperor into Shu.

Soon, Yin Damu's whole army was dispatched, and Cao Chao sat in the chariot, wearing the armor of his ancestors, staring majestically ahead.

Officials along the road came to greet and clean the road, Yin Damu was very vigilant, originally unwilling to let anyone approach, or Cao Chao took the initiative to come forward and allow local officials to come to visit.

For local officials, only when they reached the rank of county warden could they get the opportunity to meet the emperor, and any county order or anything like that, that was almost unlikely, although their appointment also required the emperor's nod.

Cao Chao insisted on going this time, and the purpose was the same, after pacifying Bashu, Yongliang Bashu would become a center of gravity for temple governance.

It's not a bad thing that Cao Chao can also inspire officials along the way.

Most of the county guards in Yongliang are not here at the moment, and the two assassins took the county guards away when they went on the expedition, and these county guards were going to lead troops to fight in wartime.

Cao Chao met a lot of local officials along the way, and no matter the grade, they were all more or less rewarded.

Although this slowed down Cao's march, the local officials were extremely happy.

When he arrived at Yangping Pass, Chen Tai, who was rectifying Hanzhong, came to greet him.

And he brought the latest news.

Cao Chao directly pulled him into his car and asked him to tell him.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Shu has perished, Deng Ai killed Zhuge Zhan, the Lord of Shu surrendered, and the generals and county guards from all over the Kingdom of Shu also surrendered one after another"

Cao Chao was stunned for a long time, although he had long known that this would be the result, but when he really heard the fall of Shu, Cao Chao's heart was still mixed.

Thinking of the time when he was imprisoned in the Taiji Palace, and then thinking about the time when he really led the troops to destroy the Shu Kingdom.

The gap in this made Cao Chao a little unable to calm down.

The demise of Shu officially played the precursor of great unification.

And at this moment, the Wei State is already on the right track, and he will not be busy changing the emperor to play, so the next step should be to play the song of the destruction of the Wu State.

Cao Chao calmed down and asked, "Jiang Wei has also dropped?" ”

Chen Tai nodded, "He also descended, but the leading military general Zhong Hui thought that he had different intentions, so he was escorted to come, and he was about to reach Hanzhong."

"Oh?"

Cao Chao was a little surprised, he knew why Jiang Wei in history surrendered.

found out the contradiction between Zhong Hui and Deng Ai, and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, and he kept secretly sending someone to send a letter to Liu Chan, so that Liu Chan could delay for a while longer and let himself think of a way.

Obviously, this time Jiang Wei also found a problem and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

However, before he could plan, he was seen through by Zhong Hui.

It is not surprising to be seen through Cao Chao, but the person who sees through him is Zhong Hui, which is very unexpected.

You must know that Zhonghui's love for Jiang Wei has reached a certain crazy level, in history, after getting Jiang Wei, Zhonghui is obedient to him, traveling in the same car, eating at the same table, sleeping in the same bed, and the pampering has reached its peak.

Such a person would actually shoot at his own idol??

Cao Chao thought about it, maybe it was because Zhong Hui was no longer the main general this time, and from the perspective of a staff officer, he could easily find the problem, or maybe it was because Zhong Hui was no longer worried that he would be persecuted because of his great merit this time, so he did not turn a blind eye to Jiang Wei's behavior.

is worthy of being called the Zhang Liang of the time.

Cao Chao was still a little happy, and he really wanted to meet the rumored general of Shu.

This is a long-admired name.

Under the leadership of Chen Tai, Cao Chao officially entered Shudi.

Two people were the first to be pulled over to meet Cao Chao.

One is called Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin is Jiang Wan's son, that is, Jiang Xian's brother, and the other is called Wang Han, he does not have a too prominent background.

The two surrendered in a desperate situation.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The two saluted, but Cao Chao helped them up.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"Now that I have surrendered, I will not blame the past, and the two of them will be the ministers of the Great Wei in the future."

Cao Chao said seriously.

At this moment, the two ministers also secretly raised their heads to look at Emperor Cao Wei in front of them.

This is a tall and handsome young man, although he has not yet grown a beard, his face is different and calm, without the restlessness and frivolity of young people, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but it is not so obvious.

Wearing armor and a military crown, he looks extremely heroic.

Not to mention anything else, this appearance alone is enough to make the queen of Shu ashamed.

Jiang Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a handsome man, no wonder he is so eloquent!

The people of this era firmly believe that people who can do extraordinary things must have different appearances, either they are good to see the extreme, or they are extremely ugly, after all, the extreme ugliness is also a strange appearance.

Not to mention whether you will like you, if you are ugly enough and can be divided into different phases, then it can also make people pay attention to you, anyway, you have to be distinctive, different, the more different the better.

This has been passed down for a long time, and even in the future, some emperors like to "disguise" themselves with strange appearances.

And the ancient founding kings, or kings with particularly virtuous names, were also generally considered to have strange looks.

Compared with Cao Chao, Liu Chan's appearance is obviously a little too ordinary.

Cao Chao comforted them a few words, and then led the rest of the ministers into the city.

The two followed at the end, just looking at Cao Chao from a distance, Jiang Bin sighed: "It's really good-looking, the appearance of the Son of Heaven." ”

Wang Han's face was also a little complicated.

"He even dared to come to Hanzhong in person, and he was not afraid of us at all, but he hadn't left the palace for many years."

Cao Chao finally entered Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is not as prosperous as Cao Chao thought, because of the years of expeditions, and even the recent wars, Hanzhong looks very unbearable, there are ruins everywhere, many houses have been burned, the whole city is under martial law, Cao Chao doesn't know how the people here live, but looking at the city, you can also understand that the probability is not very good.

After arriving in Hanzhong, the first thing Cao Chao did was to lead his ministers to the sacrifice.

The objects of Cao Chao's worship are the late general of the expedition to the west, Bochang Chuting, Hou Xiahou Yuan, as well as the late Yizhou Assassin Zhao Hao, and the late Che Cavalry General Yan Zhuanghou Zhang He and others.

Of course, many soldiers who died in the Battle of Shu and the Battle of Shu in these years are also the objects of worship.

The ministers worshipped solemnly, and the ministers who surrendered also participated.

At this time, the men and horses escorting Jiang Wei finally came to Hanzhong in a hurry.

The sergeant in charge of the escort was full of anxiety at the moment.

He looked worriedly at the prisoner cart.

Jiang Wei was locked in the prisoner car at the moment, and the whole person looked weak and dying.

The sergeant was very scared of this, along the way, Jiang Wei tossed them a lot, he refused to eat, he refused to drink, and he was bent on death, and the escorted sergeant couldn't watch him die in the prisoner car, and he didn't dare to loosen his ties, and he wanted to feed him and worry about whether he would bite off his tongue

This group of people was exhausted at the moment, and they didn't dare to rest all the way, and rushed towards Hanzhong with all their might.

When they learned that the emperor was in Hanzhong at the moment and did not need to continue to be escorted to Chang'an, the military officials in charge of the escort were about to cry.

yes, that's great.

Finally, I don't have to suffer this sin.

Chen Tai learned that Jiang Wei was coming, so he specially came to recruit him.

Seeing his dying old opponent, Chen Tai also had mixed feelings.

Jiang Wei also slowly raised his head at this moment and saw Chen Tai in the distance.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Chen Tai said, "Take him down from the prisoner cart and take the cloth from his mouth."

"But, General, this man has a will to die"

"It's okay, he's going to die anyway, it's not too late for him to talk to his old opponent."

Chen Tai said calmly.
