Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh two sluts
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, in history, were two old enemies who fought to the death. Today, Yan Liang has made them become sworn brothers. How interesting this must be.
Today, Yan Liang once again used the means of drama to mock history.
So, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, two young generals, settled the case and burned incense on this bloody battlefield to marry Jinlan.
Killing Cao Cao, destroying Jicheng, and recruiting talented people, Yan Liang today can be said to have a great harvest.
However, a huge victory did not make Yan Liang relax. He knew very well that although Cao Cao was dead, there was still a scheming and cunning remnant of Cao Pi who needed to be eliminated.
Cutting weeds without eradicating their roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Yan Liang does not want to leave any hidden dangers that will not be eradicated for a long time in this complicated land in the northwest.
According to this strategy, Yan Liang rested in Jicheng for three days. Three days later, he gathered an army of 100,000 and continued to march towards Liangzhou.
Because the main force of the Qin State was destroyed and Cao Pi's army was weak, Yan Liang only led an army of 100,000 to conquer Liangzhou. The remaining 100,000 troops returned eastward to prepare for the future attack on Liu Bei.
On the day when Yan Liang captured Jicheng, he quickly rushed to Guzang City with his cavalry and reported the news of the fall of Jicheng and Cao Cao's suicide to Cao Pi.
There was deathly silence in the lobby of the Prince's Mansion.
Wu Zhi, Yang Fu, Wei Kang and others all had shocked faces, as if they couldn't believe this cruel fact.
At the top, Cao Pi, who was fully armored, also had a face full of shock, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Father~~" Suddenly, a howling cry broke the silent atmosphere in the hall.
Cao Pi burst into tears instantly. His seemingly weak body shook a few times and he almost fainted.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Zhi screamed beside him. He quickly stepped forward to support Cao Pi.
"Father, it's all my fault. If I hadn't fallen from my horse and passed out, I could have led the Liangzhou cavalry to aid Jicheng. In that case, I'm afraid Jicheng wouldn't have been conquered so quickly, and you don't have to...
...Father, I am sorry for you..."
Cao Pi cried until he was hoarse. He was extremely sad and blamed himself.
When Wu Zhi and others saw Cao Pi's sad look, they all secretly lowered their heads and were moved by it.
Yang Funa stood there solemnly, frowning secretly, seeming to be full of some kind of distrust towards Cao Pi's crying appearance.
Suddenly, Cao Pi suddenly drew his sword and wiped it from his own neck.
The ministers on the left and right were shocked and hurriedly rushed forward and snatched Cao Pi's sword.
Cao Pi cried and cried: "Let me go and let me commit suicide to apologize to my father. You are sorry for my father. I deserve to die~~"
Wu Zhi had no choice but to support him and comfort him: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. The reason why Your Highness fell from the horse was not because of overworking to save Jicheng. His Majesty's affairs are not your responsibility at all. You must blame,
It’s also my fault that Yan’s thieves pushed each other too hard and drove His Majesty to death.”
"This is very true. It was the traitor Yan who killed Your Majesty. His Majesty the Crown Prince should cheer up and lead us to avenge His Majesty. How can we have such thoughts of committing suicide? If His Majesty really has a shortcoming, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's spirit in heaven?
, how can you be worthy of the people of Qin Dynasty?" Zhu Shuo also comforted him from the side.
After being comforted by two trusted ministers, Cao Pi's excited suicidal thoughts gradually subsided, and the look of indignation on his face became heavier.
"Damn the Yan thief, you actually forced your father to death. I, Cao Pi, swear that I will personally cut off the Yan thief's head and avenge my father." Cao Pi gritted his teeth, feeling unbearable anger.
In the hall, all the civil and military officials were extremely angry and vowed to kill Yan Liang to avenge Cao Cao.
Seeing the indignation, the suspicion on Yang Fu's face gradually disappeared, and he gradually believed what Cao Pi said and did.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Fu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has been killed, and our country of Qin has no leader. How can we unite to defeat the enemy and take revenge? I believe that your highness's top priority is to succeed to the throne as emperor as soon as possible, so that we can order the army and people of Qin to jointly fight against the enemy and protect the country."
, to avenge the late emperor."
Hearing Yang Fu's words, Cao Pi's eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy, but the ecstasy only passed away in a flash, and Cao Pi soon became hesitant.
"My father has passed away, and my great revenge has not been avenged. How can I just think about ascending to the throne." Cao Pi sighed.
Wu Zhi said hurriedly: "As the crown prince, His Highness is the crown prince designated by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor has passed away, His Highness's succession to the throne is a matter of course. Why does Your Highness have any doubts?"
"If His Highness does not succeed to the throne, the army and people of the Qin Dynasty will be leaderless, and the people's hearts will inevitably collapse. At that time, let alone avenging the late emperor, it is still unknown whether they can withstand the invasion of Yan's thieves. Please think of your Majesty for the great Qin State and the people of Li.
, take over the throne as emperor immediately." Zhu Shuo also advised.
At this time, His Highness Wei Kang and other ministers knelt down one after another and gathered together to persuade Cao Pi to succeed him as emperor.
Cao Pigan was sitting there, with a look of embarrassment and innocence on his face, as if the officials were trying to persuade him to push him into the fire pit, making him bear the name of disloyalty and unfilial piety.
"How can I claim the title of emperor if my father's revenge has not been avenged?" Cao Pi wondered.
Wu Zhi said seriously: "For the sake of the great Qin State, I ask His Highness to succeed you as the emperor. If Your Highness refuses, I will be unable to kneel down."
"If Your Highness does not succeed to the throne, I will never be able to stand on my knees!"
The ministers joined in one after another, and they all knelt there generously and uprightly, as if they were going to kneel until the sea was gone and the stone was shattered.
Seeing that the ministers could not kneel down, Cao Pi felt embarrassed, but also showed a look of pity on his face, as if he was cherishing the knees of the ministers.
After a long while, Cao Pi shook his head and let out a long sigh, and said quietly: "I really can't bear the fact that you are forcing each other like this. That's all. Isn't it enough for me to inherit the throne of Qin?"
Cao Pi finally agreed, Wu Zhi and others were immediately overjoyed, and the hall was filled with joy.
Cao Pi had already agreed, and Wu Zhi and others went to the meeting to discuss the matter of succession.
Originally, for something like proclaiming emperor, one would have to have at least more than a month to prepare, but these are extraordinary times, and Cao Pi certainly does not have that much time to make face-saving preparations.
So, after a heated discussion, Cao Pi ordered an altar to be built south of Guzang City, and he hurriedly ascended the throne three days later.
The important matter was decided, and the ministers retired. Cao Pi, with a reluctant and sad face, sighed all the way back to the inner palace.
Entering the palace, Guo Huan was waiting at the door early, with a hint of joy in her eyebrows. It was obvious that she knew that the ministers were urging her to enter.
Cao Pi suppressed his excitement, took Guo Huan inside with him, and screened all the maids away.
The palace door was closed, and only the two of them were left in the hall.
Guo Huan immediately bowed and said with a soft smile: "Concubine, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
The word "Your Majesty" made Cao Pi feel itchy all over, and the feeling of refreshment soaked into his bones, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
Cao Pi was so proud that he almost laughed out loud.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Pi thought that his father Cao Cao had passed away. Even if he was happy to inherit the throne, he should not show too much pride.
So, Cao Pi suppressed his ecstasy and only sighed: "My father passed away and the city of Hebei fell. I also succeeded to the throne at this critical moment. Is there anything worthy of congratulations?"
Although Cao Pi said this, the proud look in his eyes could not be concealed.
Guo Huan helped Cao Pi sit down and comforted her with a smile: "Your Majesty is extremely talented. Now he is finally able to hold a great position and command the army and people of the Qin Dynasty. He can fully demonstrate his talents. Although he is in crisis now, the more he is at this time,
The more you can show off your majesty’s martial prowess.”
Hearing the four words "Shenwu Xionglue" made Cao Pi feel warm in his heart, and he felt a sense of pride. He subconsciously sat up straighter, as if he felt that his figure was becoming more majestic.
"What my beloved concubine said is quite reasonable. If I take this critical opportunity and lead the Qin army and people to repel the Yan bandit's invasion, then my achievements will surpass those of the late emperor. I may not be worthy of the four-character Shenwu Xionglue."
Cao Pi became more and more confident and could not help but call himself "I" in his words, even though he had not yet ascended the throne.
At this time, Cao Pi was more confident not to step out from Cao Cao's shadow, but to surpass Cao Cao's achievements.
"With your Majesty's unprecedented talent, it will be easy to surpass the late emperor." Guo Huan took advantage of the situation and joined in the compliment.
Cao Pi became more and more proud, his face was full of pride, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.
…
Yuzhong.
The flag of Dachu was flying high over the city. Yan Liang was sitting on a red rabbit horse, leading his vast army into the city gate in a mighty manner.
Liangzhou has seven counties: Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Xihai, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Xiping. Among them, Wuwei County is where the Liangzhou Governor's Department is located, while Jincheng County is located in the southernmost part of Liangzhou, adjacent to Nan'an County.
Yan Liang's victorious army set off from Jicheng, marched straight into Nan'an County and wiped out Nan'an County, and went straight north to Yuzhong City, the seat of Jincheng County.
When the Qin army in Yuzhong City heard that the Chu army was coming to kill them, they abandoned the city and fled north one day in advance. Yan Liang captured the Jincheng County seat without a single soldier and opened the door to Liangzhou.
According to the strategy formulated by Fazheng for Yan Liang, after capturing Yuzhong, the entire army rested for a few days, and then drove northward to capture Guzang City, Cao Pi's old nest.
Yan Liang stepped into the city gate, climbed to the top of the city and looked down at the scenery of Yuzhong City.
At this moment, the scouts rushed to the city to prepare the latest information from Gu Zang and present it to them.
After reading the information written on the bamboo paper, Yan Liang's lips raised a sneer.
"His father just died a few days ago, and he has been so hasty to succeed and proclaim himself emperor. Cao Pi really can't wait." When sarcastic, Yan Liang showed the information to all the ministers around him.
The content of the information was very simple. It only said that Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor in Guzang City a few days ago, honored Cao Cao as Emperor Wu, and made his crown prince Guo Huan queen.
"Cao Pi is just a man who can play political tricks. Even if he becomes emperor, it is not a concern. He is just hastening to die." Fazheng said disdainfully.
Yan Liang sneered, threw the information into the wind, and said loudly: "Pass on my decree, the army will go north tomorrow, wipe out the remaining enemies for me, and capture these two bitches Cao Pi and Guo Huan alive."
