Three Kingdoms: Concubine Yu Ji Lu Pheasant, I Overthrow the Han Dynasty

Page 150

Cao Cao nodded solemnly: "This is the only way."

"Otherwise, in the end, it will inevitably be the result of being defeated by Yingwu one by one."

Guo Jia lowered his head and pondered for a while before raising his head: "Ahem, ahem, what the lord said is right."

"The climate of winning martial arts has been achieved. Only by truly twisting the rest of the princes into a single rope can it be possible to have the power to fight the Qin army."

"It's just..." Guo Jia frowned and asked, "Will Ma Han in Xiliang, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, the four counties in Jingnan, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong think the same as your lord?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "That's why I will set an example and hand over the military power to the emperor first."

"As for the remaining princes, how many people will follow, and how many people will oppose, I can't care so much."

"If I don't set an example, no one in the world will set this precedent."

"In this way, it can be regarded as my confession to the people of the world. I, Cao Cao, are not the traitors of the big man, but the loyal minister of the big man."

This is also Cao Cao's helplessness.

If the remaining vassals cannot unite, relying on Cao Cao's four counties, how can he compete with Yingwu's half of the world, and he will undoubtedly lose.

That being the case, it would be better to hand over the military power, so as to gain a reputation as a loyal minister, which will last forever, so as to eliminate the adverse effects of coercing the emperor to make the princes.

Both Guo Jia and Cheng Yu could guess what Cao Cao was thinking.

Although both of them were extremely talented people at that time, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Not to mention, in front of the military title system, all the Qin soldiers were extremely brave and fearless of death. It was almost the kind of situation where they could turn defeat into victory even in the middle of an ambush, and they couldn't help it.

So Cao Cao's messenger flew to Chengdu immediately.

At the same time, Cao Cao mobilized all the soldiers and horses from the four counties, brought all the food, grass and equipment, and made a big drift as a whole, preparing to move to Yizhou.

At the same time, Cao Cao sent envoys to the princes of various places to present his own letters, persuading these princes to give up their prejudices, return power to the emperor, and fight against Qin together.

Cao Cao's letter was written very sincerely, and it analyzed the current situation very thoroughly.

Hey, maybe there is still a way out.

Points, can only be defeated by Yingwu one by one.

Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and his Cao Cao are living examples.

These princes were all taken aback when they received Cao Cao's letter.

In troubled times, is there still a saying of handing over military power?

These princes worried that Cao Cao was a liar, and even more worried that this was a conspiracy by Liu Xie, so they sent scouts to the Sili area to inquire about news.

All the princes were stunned when they learned that Cao Cao had given up the Sili area and went to Chengdu with his army.

Chapter 209 The situation in the world is unpredictable

Liangzhou.

Ma Teng and Han Sui had a dispute.

The Ma family, since General Fubo and General Ma Yuan, have regarded themselves as loyal ministers of the great man.

When Dong Zhuo brought chaos to Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately cut off relations with Dong Zhuo.

Once, when Dong Zhuo dominated Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui were his generals.

Later, when Li Guo was in chaos in Chang'an, they once raised troops to attack Chang'an, but they failed.

Ma Teng has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after receiving Cao Cao's letter, Ma Teng immediately made a decision to return the military power to the emperor.

But Ma Teng regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and was willing to surrender his military power, but Han Sui was unwilling.

Han Sui did not regard himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He had turned his back twice before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, and he was an out-and-out interestist.

Whoever benefits him more, Han Sui can call whoever is his own father.

Therefore, Han Sui firmly opposed it.

Not only Han Sui objected, but there were also eight soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, whose strength was weaker than that of Ma and Han, namely Ma Wan and Yang Qiu, who also opposed the surrender of military power.

After some debate, neither side could convince the other.

At this moment, Ma Chao made a sudden move.

Ma Chao led [-] personal guards and directly killed them.

Han Sui and the others were naturally furious, and the nine of them attacked Ma Teng together.

Although Ma Teng was very skilled in martial arts, he was no match for Han Sui's nine people, and he was quickly chopped into meat.

Ma Chao and the others rushed in soon, but Ma Teng was already dead.

Ma Chao and others were furious, and immediately stepped forward to encircle Han Sui and others, killing all nine of them.

In this way, Liangzhou's situation of being very popular in the world is completely over, and only the Ma family dominates.

However, Ma Chao's reputation is rotten.

Regardless of his father's life and death, acting rashly is definitely an act of unfilial piety for a big man who governs the country with filial piety.

Ma Chao successfully controlled the power of Liangzhou, but Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Pound were extremely dissatisfied with Ma Chao.

What's more, after Ma Chao won the power, he no longer said that he belonged to the emperor, and became the overlord of Liangzhou himself.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was very happy, and sent an envoy to Liu Xie, saying that he was willing to return to the emperor.

However, because Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu had a feud against killing their mother, Zhang Lu would never leave Hanzhong for the rest of his life, so Liu Xie naturally agreed.

Of the four counties in Jingzhou, two counties have been taken by Liu Bei, namely Wuling County and Lingling County. The remaining Changsha County and Guiyang County will not escape Liu Bei's control sooner or later.

After getting Cao Cao's letter, Liu Bei threw it to Zhuge Liang directly, and sneered: "Cao Cao will pick the right time."

"I just won the two counties in Jingnan, and he called on everyone to return the power to the emperor."

After Zhuge Liang read the letter, he pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, Cao Cao's move is not bad."

"In the old days, there were seven heroes in the Warring States Period, Qin was strong and the Six Kingdoms were weak."

"Therefore, in order to fight against the powerful Qin, the six countries in the past could only join forces."

"In the battle of Pengcheng, the lord joined forces with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan to fight and win."

"However, the result ended in a big defeat. Why?"

"Because the six countries are not of one mind, and because the princes of all walks of life are not of one mind."

"If there is only one monarch in the six countries, and they are united as one, the strong Qin may not be able to unify the world."

"Similarly, if all the princes in the world return power to the Son of Heaven, only then will the Great Han and the Great Qin have the chance to compete."

"Otherwise, the princes of the world will be defeated by the Great Qin one by one, and it will only be a matter of time before they perish. Please think twice, my lord."

Liu Bei pondered for a while, and asked, "What Kong Ming meant, is Cao Cao's move true?"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "If it's not true, then Cao Cao has already surrendered to Yingwu."

"But between Yingwu and Cao Cao, there is a hatred of taking his wife and killing his brother. With Cao Cao's character, how can he surrender to the enemy."

"Therefore, this matter must be true, and my lord does not need to doubt it."

Liu Bei asked, "Kong Ming, in your opinion, should we return power to the Son of Heaven?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "If you want to win the battle, this is the only way."

Liu Bei frowned: "Kong Ming, let me think about it."

Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, and Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, were naturally 1 willing after receiving Cao Cao's letter.

If you don't return the government to the emperor, you will have to be swallowed by Liu Bei. It would be better to have a good reputation for returning the government.

Therefore, Han Xuan and Zhao Fan immediately replied to Cao Cao, and at the same time sent envoys to Chengdu to express their intention to return to power.

Hehe, we are all ready to return to power, Liu Bei, if you dare to beat us again, it will be tantamount to rebellion.

You are the emperor's uncle of a big man, and you openly rebelled, do you want your reputation?

Facts have proved that this operation of Han Xuan and Zhao Fan is absolutely correct.

They played the banner of the Son of Heaven, which made Liu Bei feel like a hot potato.

Unable to continue marching, only relying on the two counties of Wuling and Lingling, how can Liu Bei contend with Yingwu.

Therefore, Liu Bei had no choice but to return power to the emperor.

Jiangdong.

Sun Quan's head is getting bigger.

The failure of the crusade against Huainan, and almost the entire army of [-] soldiers and horses were wiped out, which directly destabilized Sun Quan's dominance.

Then, Shanyue rebelled, and the momentum was so great that Sun Quan had to send Cheng Pu as the general to lead the army to conquer.

Jiangdong experienced two major defeats, almost losing [-] soldiers, and his strength was greatly damaged. The battle with Shanyue seemed a little weak.

In a flash, more than two months have passed, and the two sides are still at a stalemate.

Don't mention the bitterness in Sun Quan's heart.

This day was Sun Ce's birthday, so Sun Quan brought a jug of wine and some side dishes to Sun Ce's tomb.

First, he paid homage to Sun Ce, then Sun Quan pushed back the guards and sat in front of the desk with a jug of wine and some side dishes.

After pouring a glass of wine, Sun Quan raised his hands: "Brother, I would like to toast you first."

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan poured the wine on the ground.

Then, Sun Quan poured another glass of wine, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'll punish you with a glass."

After gulping it down, Sun Quan put down his glass and sighed slightly: "Brother, younger brother killed you and took over the position of Lord of Jiangdong."

"My little brother has stabilized the situation in Jiangdong, making the Jiangdong family surrender to my little brother."

"Originally, the situation is good, and Jiangdong will flourish again."

"It's a pity, the younger brother was too eager for quick success, just like the elder brother, he was defeated in Huaiyang and returned in a big defeat."

"Little brother sent troops this time, and made Zhang Liao the name of the thief general."

"Now, the children in Jiangdong cry at night. If Zhang Liao is told that Zhang Liao is coming, even the children will not dare to cry anymore."

"Also, brother, have you guessed it?"

"Then Qin Wu turned out to be a descendant of the Great Qin Shihuang, whose real name is Yingwu, which is really unexpected."

"Yingwu has already occupied most of the world, and the trend of unification has been achieved. Sooner or later, Jiangdong will change hands."

"Then Cao Cao sent a letter, urging the princes of the world to return to the emperor. The younger brother was a little hesitant, so I wanted to ask the elder brother's opinion."

Just at this moment, with a sound of "嗖", a long arrow shot out, aiming at Sun Quan.

"Uncle Bi, don't..."

At this time, Wu's voice sounded, very anxious and frightened.

Chapter 210 Death of Sun Quan

Unfortunately.

Sun Yi shot the arrow first before Wu Shi made a sound, it was too late.

As for Sun Quan, he never expected that Sun Yi would hide behind a tree and shoot cold arrows at him.

Unprepared, Sun Quan was shot in the heart by Sun Yi with an arrow.

Sun Yi's figure immediately appeared from behind a big tree.

Then, Mrs. Wu took Sun Shao's hand and walked out from behind another big tree.

It turned out that today was Sun Ce's birthday, so the Wu family called Sun Yi and Sun Shao to come to Sun Ce's tomb to pay their respects.

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan also came.
