In the early spring of the fifth year of Zhangwu, a shocking event occurred in Yecheng, the capital of Cao Wei.
Cao Pi, the Emperor of Cao Wei, suddenly passed away, and before he died, he or she dictated the will. According to the will, Cao Zhang, the King of Rencheng of Cao Wei, was like a wolf. He first poisoned the Han emperor, and then forced his brother Cao Pi to usurp the throne. His poison spread all over the world, and the gods were angry, so he was punished by heaven. Cao Pi was moved to the Han Dynasty and was ashamed and angry at the past when he was forced to join the traitors. He was persuaded by loyal and obedient people, so he summoned important officials to publicly announce their abdication, and offered the Han Dynasty a large territory controlled by King Cao Cao of Wei back then.
The content of this will is detailed and written in a brilliant and tear-jerking manner. But the day the will was passed, it caused an uproar inside and outside Yecheng. A Wuwei stationed in the city immediately rioted, and many intermediate officers of the Xiahou and Cao family were wrapped in Qiao and Pei-born generals, intending to attack the palace and meet the Pingyuan King Cao Rui.
The rebel soldiers divided their troops to rush into the city, referring to Sima Yi, the general of the Fu Army, and the Minister of the Shizhong, Chen Qun, and others who may be suspected of being in charge of the emperor and falsely spreading the holy intention.
However, because the Central Leader Zhu Shuo died of sorrow on the day when Cao Pi died of illness, the movement of Wuwei was like a headless fly, and there was no threat. The backbone general Guo Huaizheng led his headquarters to guard the inside and outside Yecheng and immediately mobilized troops to pacify.
On that day, the battles continued in Ye City, and the five camps outside the city did not move their troops, as if the world was peaceful.
In the early morning of the next day, Cao Pi's wife Guo and his descendant Cao Rui came to Sima Gate and confirmed to the hundreds of officials present that the will was true, and the emperor, or the former Emperor of the Great Wei, did die of illness. As for Sima Yi and Chen Qun, who are now in charge of military affairs, are not only loyal to Cao Pi's last wishes, but also to the world. Their sincerity moves in the sky, so don't doubt it!
So the chaos retreated quickly as the Tathagata did. The surrounding area of ​​Yecheng returned to a state of peace.
The general of the Fu Army, Sima Yi, and the Minister of the Shizhong, Chen Qun, followed the will and implemented it step by step.
In the following time, the Guo family, Cao Rui, and the countless relatives of the Cao family in Yecheng no longer came out, and the old ministers such as the Dazai Jia Xu, the Taifu Hua Xin, and the Taibao Wang Lang stayed behind closed doors.
At this time, the content of the will spread to Yan, Yu, Qing, Xu, Ji, and various states. Local officials, guards, and even powerful people, traitors and others all competed to covet and stirred up their anger.
For decades, these people often engraved the word loyalty on their faces to show them, but in fact, they were not loyal at all in their hearts. Since they knew that there was such a will, the timids of them were either sitting and watching, or waiting for the tiger; the bold ones were running around, or preparing for war.
Among them, there are people who believe that they are superior to others and use powerful means to think that the Central Plains of Hebei is already a land without a master, and they just want their family to take advantage of the situation and sweep the world.
For a time, a group of demons danced, and all kinds of strange and strange shapes emerged one after another.
In the border area, it was even more chaotic. Cao Xiu, the general who commanded Yangzhou and Huainan, and the governor of Yangzhou, gathered the troops from the eastern prefectures and counties at the first time, and announced that there were no righteous ministers in the court and there were treasons inside. He should raise troops to punish them to clear the evil of the emperor and support the world of the Wei Dynasty.
However, his troops were shrinking to Shouchun and Hefei at the same time, the river was rising in spring and summer. General Lei Yuan, the cavalry, rose from Jiangling and Nanchang, and used hundreds of giant ships to carry more than 40,000 people down the river and reach Dongguan.
At this time, Jiangdong Lu discussed handing over and let Dongguan. The Han navy then entered the Ruxu River, Chaohu Lake, and applied water to the city of Hefei, as if he had entered a deserted land. The Han army general Wu Ban and Wang Ping used a huge boat as the city and threw thunder bombs into Hefei like rain. Within a few days, the buildings and walls in the city were broken, and the soldiers were frightened.
Three days and nights later, more than ten of Cao Xiu's personal generals died in the defenders, and Jiang Ji, the general of the Eastern Central Army, surrendered to the city.
At this time, Cao Xiu in Shouchun was feeling uncomfortable. In desperation, he actually asked Zang Ba, the leader of Qing Xu Haoba, for emergency rescue, so that he sent out dozens of envoys in one day, and the roads were related.
And Zang Ba’s energy is not on JAC.
Just when Lei Yuan entered Hefei, the northern part of Jizhou and Youzhou were in chaos. When the general Xiahou Shang, who was in peace in the north, heard the chaos in Yecheng, immediately went to see Yu Jin and stated that the destiny of the Wei family was not there, and that the Han family should stabilize the border and only seek to protect their lives.
Yu Jin agreed very much, so he and Xiahou Shang held a banquet to summon the generals to tell the current situation and make a statement. During the meal, the generals were disturbed by this, some agreed to change their courses, and some received the kindness of Cao's family and wanted to raise their troops to go south and continue the Wei family again.
As the conversation was getting hot, Xiahou Shang closed the courtyard gate, and hundreds of knives and axes were killed from the corridors on both sides, and they immediately killed the people who intended to surrender to the Han Dynasty. After covering up the generals, Xiahou Shang was covered in blood and asked Yu Jin with a knife: "What do the Taiwei want?"
Yu Jin said with a sigh: "I am a loyal minister of the Wei family."
A few days later, Xiahou Shang raised tens of thousands of troops in Youzhou and went south along the Hejian and Bohai.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, Sun Quan led the Liaodong people from the north, and Zang Ba led the Qingxu people from the south, and both sides attacked Xiahou Shang's troops. These two sides were heroes who were circulating in troubled times. Where could the noble princes like Xiahou Shang be able to resist the enemy?
After only a few days of fierce battle, Xiahou Shang's troops were no longer supported. However, Yu Jin led his troops to retreat. Xiahou Shang was immediately killed by Xu Sheng, and the rest of the people were dispersed.
While the eastern part of Jizhou was in chaos, Zhang He's troops stationed in Hedong also encountered the situation of the old Cao family's rebellion. Zhang He was just right and ordered his headquarters to guard the base camp that night, and those who dared to act rashly were killed. At the same time, he cut off Cao Zhen's head and hung it on a long pole within the gate to show the public.
The next morning, a small number of generals who supported Cao's family found that Cao Zhen was dead, and all cried and scattered.
This series of chaos happened in just a few months. Hebei and the Central Plains were in full bloom, and there was no place of peace. Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others followed the will and sent envoys to Chang'an several times, urging the Han court to inherit the will of heaven and the people, quickly set up strategies, and safeguard the world. If it is difficult to dispatch a large army for a while, Sima Yi and others can be authorized to act as the overall situation.
However, the Chang'an court just ignored it.
Several groups of envoys from Yecheng came until Lu Yu, who was the former minister of the Yellow Gate, arrived in Chang'an.
Lu Yu's father was Lu Zhi, who was the commander of the Han Emperor Liu Bei at that time. This friendship was extraordinary. So the emperor finally met and told Lu Yu that all preparations for sending troops were ready.
Lu Yu was excited and danced and bowed.
