Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 861
"Restricting the division of the country, the value of the situation is far-reaching, the ranks are bound to the east, the luck is offending,... Fang is not moral and weak, stealing and corrupting the legacy, admiring for many years, and not leading the great teaching. Now your majesty is raising troops, the power of heaven is shaking, and the people The number of ghosts returning to power is terrifying to the king's master, inferior to the martial arts, dare not change your face, and obey your orders!"

"Fang Zhe ordered the commanders to cast Ge Shijia, and the government's Nuzang did not destroy anything. The people spread the fields, and the remaining grains live in the acres, so as to benefit later, and the whole Yuan Yuan was ordered. Fu Wei, the great Han Bu De Shihua... I would like to send Privately appointed Situ Gaorou, the leading general Cao Yan, and the son-in-law captain Zhen Defeng have given the seal to you, please tell us your sincerity, respect your loyalty, give you life and death, and only judge them."

Gao Rou finished reading Cao Fang's book of begging for surrender, and presented it together with the jade seal of the country, saying: "We, the monarchs and ministers, do not know the destiny, arrogate ourselves to the frontier, and peep at the divine weapon. , It really shows the temperament of the Son of Heaven."

Liu Chan grabbed the jade seal of the Son of Heaven, which symbolizes the orthodox dynasty, and looked at the engraving on the bottom of the words "Ordered by the heavens, life will last forever", and asked knowingly, "Why is this corner missing?"

Gao Rou said with a calm face, "Your Majesty, Wang Mang usurped us in the past, and Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan smashed the seal on the ground, and the horns were missing, so I used gold to make up."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "I wonder if Cao Cao has been hit by this seal?"

Gao Rou is not only a veteran of the three dynasties, but also served as an official of Cao Cao.Hearing Liu Chan's words, his expression changed greatly, and he praised: "I don't know, it should never have happened."

Liu Chan put the jade seal on the case, and said lightly: "Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief. Although he did not usurp, but Zipi usurped, he should have a share. I want to take his skull and store it in the Han Dynasty. In the treasury, what do you think!"

Gao Rou heard the unquestionable meaning in Liu Chan's mouth, and said nervously: "Although Wei is a puppet dynasty, after three generations, there are also benefactors in China. This move may cause a rebellion."

Deng Ai said with a sneer: "There will be peace when there is chaos, let's see how many people want to rebel?"

Gao Rou closed her mouth and stopped talking.He could see that the big Han monarch and minister wanted to use this incident as bait to catch those loyal Wei elements, and then come to Boda to cleanse them.In other words, Emperor Han didn't want to accept the surrender, he wanted to force Yecheng to rebel so that they could clean it.

Liu Chan sat on the couch and said lightly: "I know Cao Fang's intention to surrender! Tell Cao Fang that I am not a bloodthirsty person, and I will make him the Duke of Zhiming so that he can live in peace and care for the rest of his life. As for the scholars and people in Yecheng, The soldiers under my command are not the soldiers of the later Han Dynasty, nor will they plunder, just let them feel at ease."

The soldiers of the later Han Dynasty mentioned by Liu Chan refer to the time when Gongsunshu was destroyed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he broke through Chengdu and plundered the people of Chengdu.The meaning is that the Han army will not attack the people of Yecheng, so they can rest assured.

"Promise!" Gao Rou said: "After I return to the city, I will tell my lord and the people of Yecheng."

"Ok!"

Liu Chan nodded slightly, looked at Cao Yan again, and asked, "How is your wife?"

Cao Yan showed joy, and said: "I report to Your Majesty that she is still well. I am not very happy to hear that Your Majesty is lucky."

"When the war is in turmoil, it is not easy to get the protection of your father and save your life. You should have a great contribution!" Liu Chan said.

In the battle of Changbanpo, Lao Liu was defeated and fled. He lost all his supplies and his family.During the duel between Cao and Liu, Cao Chun captured Lao Liu's second daughter, did not kill her, did not make her a slave, but promised her eldest son, Cao Yan, to be his wife, which is not bad.

Although there are two female partners and one husband, it is a bit shameful in today's eyes, but considering the situation at the time, it can be said that Cao Chun and his son have saved their lives.

"Don't dare!" Cao Yan responded weakly.

Suddenly, Liu Chan asked: "If I want the king to give up my concubine, how about asking my second sister to marry another one?"

Cao Yan was shocked in his heart, thought for a while, knelt down in pain and said: "I beg you to divorce my wife!"

"Why?" Liu Chan asked curiously.

"The minister's wife is in good health and has two sons, who can support his mother. However, the minister's concubine is sick and unable to bear children. If she goes out now, she will be lonely." Cao Yan begged.

"Get up!" Liu Chan said, "This matter will be discussed separately!"

"No!" Cao Yan replied.

……

At the gate of Yecheng, the generals and soldiers of the Han army stood in formation outside the city. Liu Chan stood on the chariot and looked at the monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei under the gate.

Cao Fang, the leader, showed her white upper body, was bound by ropes, and had jade in her mouth.Queen Mother Guo also took off her crown clothes and put on mourning clothes, her eyes were red and swollen.The officials followed closely behind, holding the household registration documents in Cao Wei's country.

"Sinner Cao Fang leaves the city and surrenders!"

Cao Fang bowed her head in deep humiliation, and walked out of the city.Empress Dowager Guo was crying again, she didn't expect that Cao Wei would perish in her own hands one day.

"kneel!"

Listening to the attendant's yelling, Cao Fang secretly glanced at Liu Chan who was not far away. Seeing him staring at her, she didn't dare to look more, and knelt down on the ground directly, with her head bowed and weeping.

He is only 16 years old this year. As long as he can remember, he has never been in power. He listened to the ideas of his mother, Cao Shuang, and Sima Yi, but he became a surrendered monarch when he was supposed to be in power as an adult.

Liu Chan got off the car, walked up to Cao Fang, and reached out to take out the jade in his mouth.

It is quite difficult to pull out!

Cao Fang closed her eyes, let go of her mouth, and asked Liu Chan to pull out the jade symbolizing Cao Wei's destiny.

It is harmless to tie the bi in the face, and it is harmless to tie oneself in the face, and the jasper is in the mouth as a plea.At the same time, jade bi is also an object for offering sacrifices to heaven, and giving it to the victor represents the demise of the country's destiny or the transfer of destiny.

Cao Fang shed tears and said: "Cao Fang, the sinner, is entrusted to the territory of Ji, You, Ping, Qing, Xu, Xu, Yan, Yu, and Yang in the territory of Wei State. The land is thousands of miles, the household registration is 500 million, and the soldiers are 20. , and bring Wei Guo's seal, maps, and household registers, and ask the emperor to accept his surrender."

Liu Chan waved his hand, indicating that the big man's attendants took over the seals, maps, and household registers.

Cao Fang kowtowed, choked up and said, "I implore the Son of Heaven to be kind and leave me with the blood of the Cao family. Today, the Han Dynasty will be surrendered, the Central Plains will be unified, and there will be no Wei State. Fang should be a Han minister and respect Your Majesty."

"Be a Hanchen and respect Your Majesty!" Everyone said sadly.

Liu Chan finally said: "You know your destiny, and you will surrender the territory of Kyushu to the great Han. I will protect your life. From now on, you will be named Zhiminggong, and you will return to the names of Cao Zhang and Cao Kai, and you will no longer be the son of Cao Rui."

"This?" Cao Fang hesitated in confusion.

Liu Chan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said: "From today onwards, no descendants of Cao Pi will be left behind, and all of them will be executed, in order to uphold the power of destiny."

As he said that, Liu Chan's eyes stayed on the half-old Xu Niang Queen Mother Guo, and said: "Except for the Guo family, all members of the false emperor's family will also be executed."

"Excavate the graves of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, take their bones and expose them to the sun for three days, and use their skulls to hide in the treasury," Liu Chan said.

Cao Fang showed horror and looked at Gao Rou behind her.Gao Rou did not say that he would kill the surviving descendants of Cao Pi, nor did he say that he would use his ancestor's skull.

Gao Rou didn't dare to face Cao Fang, he lowered his head, he didn't know about killing Cao Pi's descendants and taking the skulls of Cao Pi and Cao Rui.Of course, he didn't say what he knew. For example, Liu Chan wanted to take Cao Cao's skull as a souvenir. He only communicated with the Queen Mother.

For Cao Cao, who had been away for decades, Queen Mother Guo naturally didn't care, but she didn't expect the Han army to have these demands.

Kneeling on the ground, Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang felt cold all over. He didn't expect that the first thing the Han army did when they arrived in Yecheng was to massacre their own family.

The courtiers of the Wei people wept unceasingly. They did not expect the Han army to be so ruthless and treat the three generations of the dead Cao family so cruelly. They were too timid to say anything.

"Liu Chan, you tyrant!" Finally Wei Chen couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and cursed: "Although you have the world, you will never be well..."

Before the death word came out, the Han army pulled him out and killed him.

"Huh?" Yuan Hong put his hand on the hilt of his sword and stared at everyone angrily.

Empress Dowager Guo didn't expect that she couldn't even preserve her husband's skull. Looking at the dead body, she said in a sad voice, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I'm very grateful."

Cao Fang also reacted, and continued to kowtow and said: "Master Cao Fang pays homage to His Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever!"

Seeing this, Yuan Hong took the lead in kneeling down, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for unifying the Central Plains and rebuilding the Han Dynasty."

"Thousands of years of the great man! Tens of thousands of years, Your Majesty!" The soldiers of the Han army shouted hoarsely.

"Enter the city!"
