Chapter 94 It's also good to have a good time

After the news of Cao Qian's death was officially closed, Zhao Feng resigned to Liu Bei and was ready to return to Xichuan. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting for him in Chengdu. Liu Bei did not keep him, but personally summoned Zhao Feng, Zhang Ren and other meritorious ministers in Chang'an, and then added their official positions. In addition, Wang Ping was transferred to guard Tongguan, and Zhao Feng and Zhang Ren returned to Xichuan. Before leaving, Liu Bei also explained: When Zhao Feng felt that it was hot enough, he would send troops to clean up Sima Yi. There was no need to specifically ask for instructions. Although the soldiers and horses of Xichuan and Dongsanjun are called by him casually, Guanzhong and Xiliang can also be known. Of course, if the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong attack Hanzhong, naturally Zhao Feng's Xichuan soldiers and horses need to respond or respond.

Because the road in Hanzhong was no longer open at this time, Zhao Feng and others still took Wuguan Road, left Guanzhong to Jingxiang, and then took the Yangtze River waterway back to Xichuan. After a long detour, I returned to Chengdu.

Returned to Chengdu and disbanded the army for a while. This time, Zhao Feng sent troops. Although he used a lot of troops, the casualties were not very large, and he also seized the customs, which can be said to be a complete victory. Although Huang Quan and others knew the plan in advance, when Zhao Feng really returned from victory, everyone still felt that it was not easy. It was a night when everyone held a banquet to celebrate. Not only Zhao Feng and other people who went on the expedition, but also Huang Quan and others who left behind also had their own rewards. As the saying goes, they were all happy.

"The general won the Guanzhong in one fell swoop in this battle. Even if it was the reincarnation of Sun Wu in ancient times, he only used soldiers like this!" Huang Quan drank too much, and the flattery was given one by one. Zhao Feng drank too much, and his head was a little dizzy, but he had time to ask, "What happened to Sima Yi later?"

"Sima Yi was blocked by General Zhang Gongyi and Chen Cangcheng. Later, he also wanted to attack Xichuan when our troops were insufficient, but they were repelled by Lu Boyan!" Fa Zheng said with a smile. Li Hui, who was beside him, added, "Now Nanzhong is also very calm, and everything is fine in Xichuan!"

"That's good!" Zhao Feng nodded, and everyone understood that with Sima Yi's current state, it was really only a matter of time to deal with him. Although the land of Hanzhong is fertile, there are only more than 500,000 people at present. Sima Yi can only recruit tens of thousands of horses. In addition, Xicheng and other places are still in Zhao Feng's hands, and he is still heavily guarded, so his actual territory is not even as good as Zhang Lu at the beginning.

For the rest of the days, Zhao Feng also relaxed a little. Xichuan's political affairs were mainly the responsibility of Huang Quan and others, but Zhao Feng himself was very leisurely. Of course, he still knows it well. If nothing happens to him, he will be promoted soon. When exactly, it depends on whether Cao Pi is awesome or not.

Cao Pi naturally didn't know that Zhao Feng from Chengdu was talking about him. Now he is very busy. After Cao Wei was buried, Cao Pi accepted all the gifts left by his father and became the king and prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Cao Pi's pursuit is more than that.

In the early morning after the day, Dr. Guanglu, Zhenwei Zhonglang General Cheng Yu, said that according to the order of Taishi, he looked at the sky at night for several months, and found that the emperor's star was dim and his deeds were not obvious, which showed that the number of Han Dynasty was exhausted. According to the number, there are unicorns in the west of Ye City, and yellow dragons appear everywhere in Puyang. Before that, there is a purple light covering the palace of the king of Wei. All kinds of auspicious omens are different. But there is only one meaning that he wants to express, that is, Cao Pili, who stood in the contemporary Han Dynasty, inherited the great rule and led the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Your Majesty, please follow God's will and respond to human kindness. In the morning, please go to the altar and give way to Cao Pi.

At this time, Emperor Han was 11 years old. The imperial affairs were originally decided by a group of ministers. Now when he encountered this kind of thing, he suddenly panicked. When the courtiers heard this, they had their own reactions. Although the Han Dynasty is declining, after all, there are still people who have Han Dynasty in mind. At present, many people have expressed their opposition, but most people wisely choose to be silent. After all, Cao Pi inherited all the rights of Cao Wei, and it was very unwise to go against him.

After killing a few out-out birds, he had been shivered by the frightened Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the jade seal was stamped on the imperial edict that Hua Xin ordered for him. Of course, although he couldn't wait for a long time, Cao Pi still had to make a gesture, so he began to make concessions, and then made concessions until he made concessions three concessions. In the end, under the spirit of everyone's boxing, he finally "I had no choice but to do so" to go to the altar.

In the autumn of 213 A.D., October of the third year of the Han Dynasty. Under the support of all the ministers, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, although he refused in every way, he still ascended the altar and received Zen. He officially became the emperor of the dynasty on behalf of the Han Dynasty. The country's name was Wei, which was Emperor Wen of Wei. He was posthumously named his father Cao Wei Wu, and respected his mother Bian as the empress dowager. He also appointed his wife, Xin Xianying, as the queen, and his son Cao Rui as the prince of the East Palace.

Jia Xu was appointed as a lieutenant, the head of all officials, and did not have the position of prime minister; Xiahou Dun was the general, leading the military affairs; Cao Hong was the cavalry general, his brother Cao Zhang was the riding general, and Cao Zhen was the guard general. The rest should be civil and military officials, each with a reward. Cao Pi led his ministers to worship his ancestors before he officially ascended the throne. After ascending the throne, Cao Pi demoted Emperor Han to the Duke of Puyang and expelled from Ye City to Puyang. The news came, and the world was shocked.

Guanzhong is very close to Hebei, and it was not long before the news of Cao Pi's establishment on behalf of the Han Dynasty spread to Chang'an. At this time, Liu Bei, who was unprepared for this, was busy appeasing the hearts of the people in the customs. After Sima Yi retreated from Hanzhong, the original Jingzhao Yin Zhongyu disappeared. After Meng Jian was captured, he refused to cooperate and had gone on a hunger strike. Therefore, it was only Xiahoulan, Du Xi and others who really surrendered. Although these people are not outstanding talents, they have their own skills after all. After Liu Bei met them in person, they also comforted them one by one, and then hired them.

Just as Liu Bei received the old minister in Guanzhong, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from behind him. Liu Bei was slightly surprised. Who dares to gallop in his royal palace? Turning around, Sun Qian, who had always been calm, was even more surprised.

"Gongyou, why are you so panicked?" Liu Bei asked strangely. After Sun Qian stood still after hearing the words, his lips trembled for a long time, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, it was said that Cao Pi inherited his father's throne, and then he forced the emperor to ascend the throne with him. He had ascended the altar on the outskirts of Ye City and usurped the Han Dynasty to become emperor!"

"What?" Liu Bei was surprised to hear the words and couldn't help exclaiming, and Sun Qian was already in tears at this time. Lord, four hundred-year-old man, just die like this!" After Sun Qian finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried.

"Master, that's all for now. Please mourn for the change!" Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, who were beside him, saw that Liu Bei's hands were already trembling, and hurried forward to hold Liu Bei, while Jian Yong forked Sun Qian. Liu Bei looked at the distance with empty eyes, and then shed tears for a long time. Then he cried, "Oh, my God, I, Liu Bei, have gone through hardships all my life in order to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Now the Han Dynasty has not been restored, but the 400-year-old state of the Han Dynasty has been cut off. What's the point of my life? After saying this, Liu Bei suddenly twitched and then fainted. Lu Su and others were naturally in a hurry and quickly sent someone to call the royal doctor. After a long time, the imperial doctor came. After diagnosis, Liu Bei was only stimulated, so he temporarily fainted, which was not a big problem. It's just that in a short period of time, it's better to rest, and then everyone is relieved.

In the afternoon, Liu Bei woke up leisurely on the couch. He sent someone to summon Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and other three people, telling them that they were not in good health now. For the time being, everything would be handled by them for the time being. The three hurriedly made a promise not to mention it. When the three of them walked out of Liu Bei's bedroom, they were speechless for a long time. Finally, Zhang Fei was the first to sigh, "I didn't expect that when Cao Yan died, his son would become the emperor like this. It was really unexpected."

"It is not surprising that the Cao clan has long had the heart of usurpation!" Lu Su shook his head and said. At this time, Bu Ji and Mi Zhu, who came to hear the news, had also arrived in a hurry. After a salute, everyone was relieved to learn that Liu Bei was not in any problem.

"Cao Wei's new death, Cao Pi dares to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand up, which will inevitably cause the instability of the people in Hebei. This move is very unwise. Why did Cao Pi do this unwise move?" After reacting, Bu was the first to raise his own questions. Not to mention him, almost everyone has this doubt. Zhuge Liang and Lu Su looked at each other. Finally, Lu Su was not sure and said, "I think it's better for Cao Pi to know that there is not much, so he took a risk and stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty!" Everyone thought about it for a long time, and only this reason could make sense. Cao Pi really knew that he could not compete with Liu Bei for the world. Now he just wanted to rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to occupy the land of Jiyou Bingsi and other four prefectures, divide one side, and also have the addiction of being an emperor.

"The princes and generals, it's better to have guts. Such heroic words are really harmful to people!" Zhuge Liang also shook his head and sighed slightly. Everyone sighed for a while. After all, the Han Dynasty has existed for more than 400 years, and they have always been loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty has been usurped by others, even the most calm people can't help sighing now.

"Gentlemen, now Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, so it seems that the former emperor was killed in the suburbs of Ye City, which is also the cause of this person. In this case, only when the lord's health improves, he can wave his army eastward to eliminate this rebel!" It was Zhang Zhao's eldest son, the new Jingzhao Yin and Zhang Cheng, and everyone nodded one after another. In fact, even if there is no such thing, it is imperative for Liu Bei to destroy Cao Pi, but he can't wait to usurp the Han Dynasty now, and he has nothing to do.

"Zhong Si's words are true, but at present, there is one thing more urgent!" Lu Su is quite meaningful. As soon as he said this, Zhuge Liang and others were thoughtful and nodded one after another.

After counting, when Liu Bei's health improved slightly and he began to be a director in person, he found that in the past few days, the official documents had piled up into a mountain. Liu Bei cheered up and picked up one of them and opened it. This shock was suddenly not small.

"Third brother, what do you mean!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's report, but the content was that Zhang Fei advised him to conform to the will of God and the people. He said earlier that he would ascend the throne as the throne in Chang'an to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and inspire people to fight against Cao Pi. Liu Bei put down this chapter with a headache, and then picked up a few points to read. The content was also similar. They were all advice from Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others that they wanted Liu Bei to ascend the throne as emperor.

At this time, Liu Bei also knew that the matter was more urgent, so he quickly summoned everyone to discuss the matter.
