Chapter 556: Finale
Cao Cao led his troops out of Xiangyang and chased in the direction of Liu Bei's escape.
It's just that their pursuit is not very urgent, because they still have arrangements ahead, Liu Bei gave up Xiangyang and fled south, and he did let him escape, but when he reached the edge of the Yangtze River, he definitely couldn't escape.
In this regard, Cao Cao is still full of confidence.
As soon as they reached Nagasaka Slope on their march, the army stopped.
Because a group of soldiers came in front, it was Huang Zu and Cai Mao, who came over head-on, asked to see Cao Cao, and sent Liu Bei's head, as well as Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others who were tied up.
In the Yangtze River water battle, Liu Bei's entire army was annihilated.
Those artillery bombed Liu Bei and them to doubt their lives, all the warships were destroyed, Liu Bei was also killed by Huang Zu and the others, only brought back the head, and the body was thrown in the river casually, no one paid attention to it, as for Zhuge Liang and others, they didn't dare to clean it up casually, so they had to tie it up and bring it back.
They are not given the opportunity to commit suicide yet.
Zhuge Liang's situation is also fine, he seems to have seen through everything and behaved quite indifferently.
Guan Yu lost his soul, the whole person was stupid, and no matter how tearful he was, he couldn't accept the fact that Liu Bei was dead.
He and Zhang Fei's belief is in Liu Bei.
Now that the people are gone, they don't know what to do, the whole person is sluggish, there is no brilliance in their eyes, and now they want to die and can't die, so they can only stand in place blankly.
"Lord!"
Huang Zu first said: "Liu Bei's head is brought, Liu Bei's subordinates, those who kill are killed, and those who are captured alive are captured alive." ”
Cai Mao then stepped forward and handed over a wooden box, which contained Liu Bei's head.
The bloody head was presented in front of Cao Cao's eyes.
There is a feeling that it is not very real, but what is happening is real.
When Guan Yu next to him saw Liu Bei's head, he was stupid for a while, and then cried bitterly, they were like brothers, Liu Bei's death had a great impact on him.
"Liu Xuande!"
Cao Cao, no matter how Guan Yu cried, picked up Liu Bei's head, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Have you conducted an autopsy?" Are you sure it's really Liu Bei? ”
Seeing Guan Yu crying miserably, Cao Cao knew that it was Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei is scheming, who knows if he used a stand-in to create death, it is still necessary to ask clearly.
"We have tested it, it must be Liu Bei."
Huang Zu affirmed.
Cai Mao echoed: "If it weren't for Liu Bei, we would be willing to die to make amends." ”
They hated Liu Bei to the core, thinking that they would definitely not be mistaken, it must be Liu Bei, and Liu Bei had no way to escape from the situation at that time.
"Good!"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Come on, go back to Xiangyang now, and then send an order to the entire Jingzhou, I want them to surrender, if they don't surrender, they will fight directly!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
Chen Zhou looked at Zhuge Liang and the others who were dejected, and asked, "Lord, what about them?" ”
Cao Cao asked rhetorically, "What does Du Zhi think?" ”
Chen Zhou shook his head, not knowing what to do with them.
It's just that Zhuge Liang killed them, but if they didn't kill them, let them go, and I was afraid that they would mess around, which seemed to be a bit of a dilemma.
"Then bring it back to Xudu, and make a decision when the time comes."
Cao Cao said.
The army marched north, and they soon returned to Xiangyang.
At the same time, the news that Cao Cao had surrendered the entire Jingzhou county spread, and those officials in Jingzhou were shocked when they heard that Liu Bei was dead and Cao Cao was in strong control of Jingzhou.
There are more and more people who come to Xiangyang to surrender.
Of course, there are those who are unwilling to surrender.
If you don't want to, just hit them, Cao Cao won't be soft on them.
At the same time, Cao Cao also arranged for Cao Gu to go to Jing County to meet Sun Quan, preparing to persuade him to surrender, and then bring people back, personally resolving the conflict with Huang Zu.
Of course, he wanted to subdue Sun Quan, a living Sun Quan, who could help him better control the Jiangdong Hao family.
Cao Gu followed the Yangtze River, crossed Chaisang, and went straight to Jing County.
Sun Quan and the others heard that Cao Gu was coming, and they also understood what it meant, so they hesitated to let Cao Gu in.
At the same time, they also heard the news that Liu Bei had been killed.
In the whole world, Cao Cao left half of Yangzhou unpacified.
If Cao Cao wanted to fight, Sun Quan and they had no way to resist and resist, and in the face of Cao Cao's persuasion, they had no choice but to surrender.
Zhou Yu and the others agreed that they could only surrender, otherwise they would end up with one, similar to Liu Bei.
After meeting Cao Gu, the two sides chatted for a few words, and Sun Quan said directly: "I also ask General Cao to go back and tell Duke Wei that I, Sun Quan, am willing to lead the entire Sun clan to surrender." ”
"Before I came, the lord told me that if you are willing to surrender, you can go to Xiangyang with me, how about it?" Cao Gu asked.
Cao Cao is still in Xiangyang, and to accept the surrender of such a big Jingzhou, there are many things to deal with behind the scenes, and it is also very complicated, and in a short time, he has to stay here for a while.
"Okay!"
Sun Quan readily agreed.
It may be dangerous to go to Xiangyang, but if you don't go to Xiangyang, Cao Cao will call you even more dangerous.
"Please General Sun go back with me, if you are not at ease, you can also follow together."
After Cao Gu finished speaking, he didn't stay, and went back to Xiangyang on the same day.
This world has been pacified in this way.
Sun Quan: They were a little confused, and they were incredulous.
Together in Xiangyang, Cao Cao accepted their surrender and mediated the relationship between Sun and Huang Zu.
At this time, the world has been pacified.
For the rest of the year, Cao Cao continued to stay in Xiangyang to deal with the surrender, which was two months.
The news of Cao Cao's pacification of the world has long been spread far away, spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty, and finally the war can be pacified, everything is settled, and in the eyes of the people of the world, there is only Cao Cao and no Liu Xie.
It seems that Liu Xie has become an ornament.
After all the affairs were handled, Cao Cao led everyone north to return to Xudu.
It's just that when the army returned to the gate of Xudu, I saw Liu Xie personally go out of the city, stand in front of Cao Cao, and say loudly: "Wei is fair to the world, pacify the people, and contribute to Sheji. I decided, Chan let Wei Gong, please Wei Gong accept. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Liu Xie actually gave in!
In fact, Liu Xie didn't want to do this, if he didn't give in, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Cao Cao also has a way to make him meditate.
There will even be bloodshed, so it's better to abdicate by being sensible and saving a lot of trouble.
"This ...... Your Majesty, I can't help it! ”
Cao Cao hurriedly said.
Liu Xieke didn't care what he could do, and continued: "Please Duke Wei, ascend the throne and succeed to the throne." ”
"Please Duke Wei, ascend the throne and succeed to the throne."
At the same time, everyone around him shouted in unison.
Cao Cao: "......"
To accept Zen, you have to go through the process, and Cao Cao finally accepted it.
When Chen Zhou saw this, he felt that the ancient people were really good at pretending, and they were also very troublesome.
It's just that Cao Cao was in a hurry to ascend the throne.
The next day after going back, he officially accepted Chan Rang, ascended the throne and became the emperor, the country name was Wei, Luoyang was rebuilt, and the capital Luoyang was built.
At this point, the Three Kingdoms ended and the world was unified.
End of book!
