Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

Chapter 103 You Betrayed Cao Cao, But You Saved The Cao Clan! 【2】

Cao Pi Mansion.

The housemaids and servants in the mansion are hurriedly packing their luggage, and people are panic-stricken.

Cao Pi sat on the threshold, looking at the panic in front of him, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of sorrow.

"Brother Wancheng died, I was finally promoted to be the eldest son, and had the opportunity to inherit my father's inheritance, who would have thought that my father would lose to Yuan Shao!"

"If my Cao family dies, I will die too. What use is my eldest son!"

The more Cao Pi thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he hit the threshold hard with his fist.

"Master Zihuan, what are you doing?"

A surprised voice sounded, and a young man in front of him walked into the courtyard with a blank face.

Cao Pi sighed and said, "Zhongda, pack up your clothes too, and flee to Qiao County with me.

The young son in front of him is Sima Yi, the second son of the Sima family.

"Escape to Qiao County?"

Sima Yi was taken aback, his eyes became more and more puzzled.

Cao Pi suddenly remembered something, smiled bitterly and said: "I forgot, your Sima family is based in Hanoi County. Although you are my friend, you have always refused to become an official. Now that my Cao family is in decline, how could you flee to Qiao County with me?" Well, naturally stay in Xudu, waiting for Yuan Benchu ​​to appoint you an official."

Sima Yi frowned, rolled his eyes a few times, and vaguely guessed something.

He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zihuan, is it possible that Sikong is planning to move his capital to Qiao County, and wants to rely on Xuzhou Huainan so that he can ask Liu Wu for help?"

Cao Pi was taken aback, and then praised: "Zhongda, you are really resourceful. I didn't explain it in detail, but I let you guess it."

At the moment, Cao Pi did not hide anything, so he told his close friend about the previous discussion of Sikong Mansion and Cao Cao's decision.

"Mr. Zihuan, you must not go to 193 Qiao County!"

Sima Yi's face was solemn, and he immediately objected.

Cao Pi was startled and asked in confusion, "Why did Zhong Da say that?"

"If Guandu is victorious, it is a foregone conclusion that Duke Yuan will unify the two rivers, and you will be included in the seven prefectures of Hebei, Qing, Yan and Yu, and will be included in Duke Yuan's pocket.

"It can be said that Yuan Gong's power as emperor has been achieved, and no one in the world can match him."

"Although Liu Wu is a man of great talent and strategy, and uses his troops like a god, but he only has two Xu and Yang states in his hands. With that poor family background, how can he compete with Yuan Gong's seven northern states."

"Even if he is willing to send his troops north to help Cao Sikong, does Mr. Zihuan really believe that he can be Yuan Gong's opponent?"

After some analysis, Sima Yi asked sternly.

Cao Pi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "What Zhongda said is also what I thought in my heart, but my father was encouraged by Xun Wenruo and the others, and he was lucky, thinking that he could join forces with Wu and Lubenchu ​​to decide the outcome.

"Furthermore, speaking ten thousand steps back, Cao Sikong and Liu Wu teamed up and really defeated Yuan Gong and turned the world around.

"When the time comes to judge meritorious service, it is also Mr. Zijian who will speak to Cao Sikong and seek help from Liu Wu. With such great merit, Cao Sikong will definitely appoint him as the reserve!"

"However, as the eldest son, Zi Huan cannot be established as the heir. In the future, after Zi Jian takes power, will he be able to accommodate you, Zi Huan?"

Sima Yi's eyes hinted, which meant a lot.

Cao Pi shivered, and a color flashed in his eyes.

After a moment's pause, Cao Pi sighed bitterly: "As long as (cedc) Zhongda is right, what can I do? Besides fleeing to Qiao County with my father, is there a second way for me to choose?"

"Of course there is!"

Sima Yi glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zihuan can stay in Xudu and surrender to Duke Yuan."

Cao Pi's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "Are you kidding? Yuan Shao is the deadly enemy of my Cao family. If I stay here, I'm waiting to die!"

"Master Zihuan is wrong."

Sima Yi smiled secretly: "Mr. Yuan's mortal enemy is Cao Sikong alone. He has no intention of exterminating the Cao family."

Suspicion flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, he stared at him and said, "Zhongda, how do you know that Yuan Benchu ​​didn't have such thoughts?"

"I regard Mr. Zihuan as a close friend, so let's tell him frankly now."

"Actually, our Sima family has secretly attached to Duke Yuan. I came here just to persuade Mr. Zihuan not to follow Cao Sikong on the road of no return, but to stay in Xudu and submit to Duke Yuan.

Cao Pi was taken aback.

"Yuan Gong's four generations and three lords are the heads of the world's noble families. There are countless famous families in the Central Plains who have secretly attached to Yuan Gong. Our Sima family is also following the will of God and following the trend. I hope that Master Zihuan will understand our difficulties."

Sima Yi didn't panic, nor was he ashamed, he just explained lightly.

Cao Pi suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Yes, my Cao family's family background is far behind the Yuan family after all, and I can't get into the eyes of your aristocratic families.

The topic changed.

Cao Pi's eyes sharpened, and he asked coldly, "Tell me, why should I betray my father and stay in Xudu and surrender to Yuan Shao?"

"Duke Yuan has made a promise, not only Mr. Zihuan, but also all the Caos who wish to surrender, he will let the past go."

"He hopes that Mr. Zihuan will be the first to surrender and set an example for the Cao family. At the time of introduction, Mr. Yuan will not only not kill Mr. Zihuan, but also use him as the third lord!"

"And those who follow the example of the son and return to Yuan Gong, those who are willing to be officials will be hired by Yuan Gong, and those who do not want to be officials, Yuan Gong will also reward them and allow them to return to their hometowns and enjoy the rest of their lives in peace.

"So, if you stay, Mr. Zihuan, you only betrayed Cao Sikong, but you saved the entire Cao clan!"

Sima Yi tried his best to persuade him.

Cao Pi was shocked, his eyes fluctuated, and he was caught in a tangled trade-off.

"Mr. Zihuan, should you stay and be the third lord to save the lives of more than a hundred members of the Cao family, or go to Qiao County with Cao Sikong to fight stubbornly, and finally wipe out the whole family of the Cao family? Please think again, Mr. Zihuan!"

Sima Yi reminded again.

Cao Pi's figure froze, and all his worries disappeared in an instant.

After a long sigh, Cao Pi waved his hand weakly: "Zhong Da, you can tell Yuan Gong that I, Cao Pi, are willing to stay and submit to his Yuan family.

Sima Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and an imperceptible sneer flashed across his eyes.

Thirty miles west of Moling, Niuzhu City.

This city is the last barrier leading to Moling City.

Prior to this, Sun Ce had withdrawn all available soldiers to Moling City, preparing to gather all the remaining troops to defend Moling.

Liu Wu's land and water army captured the city without bloodshed.

The big account of the Chinese army.

"My lord, I just sent back the news that Sun Ce has changed Moling City to Jianye!"

Xu Chu entered the account and presented a piece of information.

Liu Wu smiled and looked at Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, what do you mean when you say that Sun Ce suddenly changed his name to Moling?"

"Moling was originally named Jinling. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang passed by during his southern tour, he saw the steep mountains and rivers of Jinling City, and heard that the alchemists said that it had a royal spirit. He was not happy, so he changed Jinling to Moling."

"Mozhe means forage, and Mausoleum means both hills and tombs."

"The combination of these two words has a rather bad meaning."

"I guess Sun Ce changed his name to Jianye, which should imply the great cause of reconstruction, and most likely he wanted to use this to reverse his luck.

Chen Deng quoted scriptures and classics to break Sun Ce's mind.

"I see."

Liu Wu said with a sneer: "The little overlord of Jiangdong back then is now superstitious about luck. It seems that Sun Ce has lost his heroism and confidence in himself."

"My lord is right."

Chen Deng nodded slightly, but said again: "However, Jianye City is extremely dangerous, and it may not be easy to capture it within a month."

The voice fell.

The guards outside the tent rushed in, clasped their hands and said, "My lord, Dong Zhao, the court envoy, has entered the camp with the edict of the emperor, and wants to declare the decree to the lord!"

Edict of the Son of Heaven!

All the generals in the tent were shocked, their eyes were full of surprise.

"That Cao Sikong, who can't protect himself now, still has the leisure to use the name of the emperor to issue an edict to the lord?"

Chen Deng said suspiciously.

Liu Wu said indifferently: "Since we still honor the Son of Heaven, how can we not accept the decree of the world when it comes, you can come with me.

Then he got up, led all the counselors and generals, and went out of the big tent.

When he arrived at the camp gate, Dong Zhao had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Liu Wu's arrival, Dong Zhao swung the imperial decree in his hand and said loudly: "General Zhendong, Peihou Liu Wu accepts the decree!"

The minister Liu Wu received the order. "

Liu Wu cupped his hands slightly, saluting in the march.

Dong Zhao unfolded the imperial decree and said in a loud voice: "Liu Wu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the country. He is named King of Qi. He will lead Xu Yang's soldiers to go northward and rush to Qiao County to escort King Qin!"

Ce Feng Qi Wang!

This was actually the will of a king.

Chen Deng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Meng, Dang Ding

The advisors and generals present all changed their expressions, and they all looked at Liu Wu with surprise and excitement.

Their lord has risen from a descendant of a declining clan to become the King of Qi in one fell swoop?
