Chapter 318
When Cao Cao heard this, of course he agreed. Although he lost about [-] soldiers this time, he killed Zhang Yi's general Shang Shitu.It can be said that sending troops this time is considered a profit, and now as long as the troops can be withdrawn safely, it will be even better.
The reason why Cao Cao wanted to talk to Zhang Yi was actually to test Zhang Yi's attitude towards the Han Dynasty.Before, Zhang Yi ignored the Han Dynasty and had nothing to do with Xuchang. He neither listened to the instructions nor the propaganda. However, Zhang Yi has occupied Runan and Nanyang for a long time, but he has never wanted to attack Xuchang.The only time they marched towards Xuchang was when Master Shang and his disciples plotted against Cao Hong. As a result, the boundaries of Yingchuan County were not reached that time.
Now that Cao Cao heard Zhang Yi's words with his own ears, he almost knew what Zhang Yi was thinking.It's not that Zhang Yi doesn't care about the Han Dynasty, it's just that he has scruples.So what is he worried about?Cao Cao didn't need to think about it, he just cared about himself.Zhang Yi's ability is really strong, look at how he has changed from nothing to a prince who can compete with him in just a few years.And it took me almost 20 years to get to this level.
Cao Cao really wanted to hand over the Han Dynasty to Zhang Yi, but he strangled him to death as soon as the idea arose.The current form is no longer up to him to decide. He now not only represents himself, but also represents many people, including his relatives, those families who supported him, and his cronies who followed him to make contributions.So no matter how capable Zhang Yi is, he can only compete with Zhang Yi.
Now Zhang Yi proposed a strike and truce, which hit Cao Cao's arms, and Cao Cao readily agreed: "I will wait for you in Xuchang!"
The two reached a tacit agreement, and then returned separately, and then returned with a strike.
After Zhang Yi returned to Wancheng, Li Jing wondered, "My lord, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?"
Zhang Yi told Li Jing about the emperor's assassination, and Li Jing was also taken aback: "My lord, this matter is extraordinary, and Cao Cao should not use this to deceive the lord. But the lord is on guard against him using this to discredit the lord. Although the Han Dynasty The prestige is gone, but being accused of killing the emperor is very detrimental to the lord. Dong Zhuo has learned from the past, and the lord should be careful."
Zhang Yi nodded, "I'll let Liu Ye go to Xuchang to find out what's going on. So in order to avoid suspicion, I can only strike now, and I won't have any conflicts with Cao Cao in the near future."
Li Jing nodded, "However, it is necessary to be defensive, and we must be careful of Cao Cao taking the opportunity to attack."
Zhang Yi nodded, "So I want you to continue guarding Wancheng. I need to return to Shouchun to take charge of the overall situation, while Shouchun is in chaos."
"My lord, don't worry!"
After handing over Wancheng to Li Jing, Zhang Yi took Xia Luqi and his personal guards, went south along the Feishui River, entered the Hanshui River, turned the river to Ruxukou, and then entered the Feishui River to go north. I returned to Shouchun in ten days.
The waterway is such a good thing, down the river, the speed is very fast!The so-called Qianli Jiangling is still like this in one day, and the river flows very fast during the wet season.
Returning to Shouchun, Zhang Yi immediately asked Liu Ye to prepare, then took dozens of soldiers to protect him, and let him go to Xuchang.The reason why Liu Ye was sent there was because Liu Ye was a clan member of the Han family, and now he has been enshrined as a marquis after following Zhang Yi all these years. He has a close relationship with the Han family and can represent Zhang Yi, so that he can learn more news. Mention Zhang Yi to decide more things.
Liu Ye is very smart, but he is only suitable to be a close minister. This has something to do with his personality. He always likes to flatter!But he is capable. Over the years, he has been working with Liu Muzhi as Zhang Yi's housekeeper, helping Zhang Yi take care of many things.
After Liu Ye made some preparations, he set off immediately.From Shenxian County and Ruyin, go upstream along the river to Xiangxian County, Xihua, Linying, and then go north to Xuchang.
Most of the way along the way was Cao Cao's territory, but Cao Cao had already said hello, so as soon as Liu Ye entered Xiang County, he was escorted by Cao soldiers and sent all the way to Xuchang.
After Liu Ye arrived in Xuchang, he was received by Xun Yu.However, Xun Yu's complexion was not very good. Although his manners were not bad, he didn't like Liu Ye.Xun Yu had filial piety on his body, but the emperor still didn't make it through, and died three days after Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.
The emperor's death made Xun Yu feel that the sky was falling.He now wanted Cao Cao to attack Zhang Yi directly, but his reason prevented him from doing so.
After Liu Ye knew that the emperor had passed away, he immediately paid his respects and went to worship.While going, he asked Xun Yu, "The emperor passed away, will the new emperor ascend the throne?"
They came together to receive Lu Cui and said sarcastically: "Unexpectedly, you still care about whether the new emperor is enthroned or not. You have never sent anyone to visit for so many years, and even the taxes have been intercepted."
Liu Ye smiled coldly, "Don't you know why this happened?"
Lu Cui said sarcastically: "I only saw a group of rebellious officials and traitors who didn't care about the emperor."
"It is precisely because there are so many people like you that the imperial court is in such a mess!" Liu Ye scolded, "If you follow your orders, there will be no pure land in this world."
"Absurd words!" Lu Cui argued forcefully, "If you and others obeyed the king's order, the Han family would have been rejuvenated here long ago."
Liu Ye snorted coldly: "How to rejuvenate? Let your aristocratic families divide the land and raise the population, and then the emperor completes feudalism and reproduces the story of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?"
Lu Cui still wants to talk, but let's not organize Xun Yu.Lu Cui didn't see it, but Xun Yu saw it. There was a trap in Liu Ye's words.The story of the Shang and Zhou dynasties is about the enfeoffment of the princes. You must know that because of the enfeoffment of the princes, the chaos of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States has been over for 400 years. It was not easy for the first emperor to rule the world. How many years will it take to unify again?
Liu Ye paid homage to the emperor, but he was not buried because the imperial mausoleum was not ready yet.However, the emperor's posthumous title has been decided, as Emperor Qi.Among the posthumous titles, "Qi Wei Zi Fu Gong Cai" means accomplishing a career together with the capable ministers who assist you.
This is a posthumous posthumous title, somewhat inconsistent with Liu Xie.However, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, who are even more stupid than her, are also posthumous, which is basically the practice of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The new emperor is Liu Xi, son of Emperor Qi Liu Xie, who is the new emperor, and Liu Xi is the fourth son of Emperor Qi.The eldest son and second son of Emperor Qi were killed together when the queen was killed. The third son Liu Feng was named King of Nanyang in July 200, but died in August.The fourth son, Liu Xi, is only seven years old this year, but he is already the eldest son of Emperor Qi, so he should be on the throne as a matter of course.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, everything is under the control of Prime Minister Cao Cao.The new emperor wanted a new year name, so Cao Cao presided over the change of Yuan Cheng'an, which means inheriting Jian'an.
Liu Ye paid homage to the new emperor. He was not optimistic about a seven-year-old emperor. Even his father couldn't beat Cao Cao, let alone a seven-year-old child.
