Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 324 Cao Cao Surrenders

Cao Cao looked at Lu Yi's outstretched hand and came to his senses.

But there was no reply.

He just lowered his head and seemed to be deep in thought.

Lu Yi was not in a hurry.

Smiling at Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Dun, Lu Yi took out three cloth packages with "telescopes" written on them from the wooden box, handed them to them one by one, and said: "This is the first time we meet, a small gift is not a sign of respect!"

Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun all looked at Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao had no objection, the three of them took the cloth package and opened it.

Xiahou Dun looked a little excited. He quickly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, amazed.

Lu Yi looked at the wall of Jiange Pass again.

Xun You and others also looked at him.

Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then handed two cloth packages with "telescopes" written on them to Zhou Fang and said, "Send them over and give them to the soldiers on the city wall."

Zhou Fang took the cloth parcel, responded, and galloped towards Jiange Pass.

The soldiers at the gate of the city wall did not stop him.

Zhou Fang rode his war horse straight into Jiange Pass, dismounted, and then ran up the city wall.

Looking at Xun You and others, Zhou Fang asked: "Who is the military advisor here?"

Xun You and Zhong Yao stepped forward.

Zhou Fang handed the two cloth parcels to them and said: "We, the King of Wu, gave this to you!"

After saying that, he ran down the city wall, left on horseback, and returned to Lu Yi and others.

Xun You and Zhong Yao looked at each other and opened the package.

Sure enough, there was also a telescope inside.

The two held telescopes against their right eyes and looked at Cao Cao and Lu Yi.

Xun You's mouth trembled slightly.

He finally understood why Cao Cao exclaimed and even stumbled back a few steps while holding the telescope.

This thing is simply a heaven-defying artifact for the commander on the battlefield!

With this thing, the so-called ambush in the distance and the enemy's busy formations all fell into sight!

After Zhong Yao looked at Cao Cao and Lu Yi with his binoculars, he then looked at the heavy cavalry trapped in the camp in the distance.

He even saw Gao Shun!

Zhong Yao murmured: "Wu Guo, how can you make such a magical weapon? I understand why we can't defeat it. How can we defeat it?"

Xun You put down the telescope and handed it to the general beside him. He nodded in agreement and said a little absently: "We were completely defeated."

Other generals passed around Xun You and Zhong Yao's telescopes.

For a moment, the entire city wall was filled with exclamations.

Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, turned his head and looked at the wall of Jiange Pass behind him.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who looked like they had never seen the world, Cao Cao's expression was very gloomy.

After a while, he turned back, looked at Lu Yi and said, "Give me an hour to think about it."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "There is no rush, father-in-law will think about it slowly."

Cao Jie hurriedly said: "Father!"

Cao Cao ignored Cao Jie, but looked at the two dying horses with physical and mental exhaustion, then got on his horse and walked towards Jiange Pass.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun saw this and did not follow.

Only Xu Chu rode his horse to keep up.

The two of them entered Jiange Pass and climbed onto the city wall.

Xun You, Zhong Yao and other soldiers looked at Cao Cao one after another, with expressions of expectation and pleading on their faces.

Although they didn't speak.

Cao Cao stopped in front of them and scanned each of their faces.

After a long time, he forced out a pale smile and said, "Masters, what do you think of these two weapons of King Wu?"

Xun You lowered his head.

Zhong Yao let out a long sigh.

Le Jin, the captain who first came to the school, still had a telescope in his hand.

Stepping forward, Le Jin bit his back teeth, and this time he mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty wants to behead me, please let me finish my sentence."

"This telescope has already demonstrated the huge power gap between us and Wu."

"If we continue, we will be in vain."

"I'm not afraid of death."

"The king wants me to die. I can jump off the city wall right now."

"But I don't want our soldiers to continue to die in vain like this."

In the crowd, Yu Jin also walked up, gave a forced laugh, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I have been fighting with Qin March for more than ten years. You should know my heart. But now, the gap between us and Wu State, It’s no longer—”

Yu Jin sighed heavily and said no more.

Cao Cao saw that Xun You, Zhong Yao, Yu Jin and Le Jin all said this, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He just walked down the city wall, rode a war horse, and passed in front of countless soldiers.

There are also ten thousand tigers and leopards riding here.

There are also nearly [-] Qingzhou soldiers he brought out.

Every face here is so familiar to him.

However, from these familiar faces, he could clearly see everyone's fear, expectation, and pleading.

Cao Cao finally stopped on the city wall and looked into the distance, looking in the direction of Xudu.

His thoughts were far away.

He recalled the scene when he first promoted Xiaolian and served as the northern captain of Luoyang, and beat the eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle to death with a five-color stick.

He recalled the scene when he followed General Huangfu Song to put down the Yellow Turbans during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

He remembered Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the scene where he raised righteous troops in Chen State, elected Yuan Shao as the leader, and summoned the princes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo.

He remembered the scene of the third battle with Lu Bu and retaking Yanzhou.

He remembered the scene when he, King Qin, received the emperor Liu Xie and made Xudu the capital.

Scenes of past events kept replaying in my mind.

After a long time, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and roared.

I think back when he first entered the officialdom, he was still a high-spirited young man.

Nowadays, the hair on the temples is slightly frosted, and the person is old.

The heroes who fought together or were enemies back then are no longer there. Maybe it’s time for me to withdraw from this stage.

Inside and outside Jiange Pass, all the garrison soldiers heard Cao Cao's roar and shed tears one by one.

On the city wall, Xun You pressed his hands on the city wall, looked down at the ground, and his tears rolled down like a bursting dam.

Never before had he felt sad and helpless like this moment.

Cao Cao stood on the city wall for a long time, then walked to the wall above the city gate. Under the eyes of countless pairs of eyes, he slowly pulled out the flag and threw it down the city wall.

city ​​wall.

Inside the Jiange Pass.

Countless soldiers knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao listened to the uniform shouts, closed his eyes, and tears fell down.

After a while, he opened his eyes, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, sniffed, looked down at Lu Yi who was looking over from outside the city, opened his hands, and said loudly: "Gu Yiliang's final announcement as King of Liang."

"From now on, my country, Liang, will cease to exist!"

"All soldiers, give up resistance and join the army of Wu!"

All the soldiers said in unison again: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

After three blasts, the entire Jiange became silent.

Cao Cao took off his cloak, took off his sword, and asked Xun You and others to bring "Emperor Liu Xie", the jade seal of the country, and the seal of King Liang. He led all the civil and military officials down the city wall and walked towards Lu Yi.

Lu Yi hurriedly led everyone to greet him.

Ling Tong rode back and called Gao Shun's heavy cavalry to come up.

The two sides met.

Cao Cao is about to kneel down.

Lu Yi hurriedly resisted Cao Cao, held his hands and said, "My father-in-law is here, how can I bear it?"

Cao Cao forced out a smile and handed the sword, the imperial seal and the seal of King Liang to Lu Yi with both hands.

Lu Yi asked Shi Huan to take it over.

"Emperor Liu Xie" also walked up at this time.

When seeing Lu Yi, "Emperor Liu Xie" would kneel down.

Lu Yi quickly stopped him.

"Emperor Liu Xie" glanced at Cao Cao, and then said to Lu Yi: "Actually, I am not the emperor."

Cao Cao and others: "."

Lu Yi also looked at "Emperor Liu Xie" in confusion.

This is the question he has been asking all along.

After Xudu was captured by Yuan Shao, the civil and military officials saw with their own eyes that Emperor Liu Xie was killed outside the main hall by General Geng Ji.

Later, General Geng Ji also committed suicide.

What about the "Emperor Liu Xie" in front of us?

"Emperor Liu Xie" took a long breath and summoned up the courage to say to Lu Yi: "My name is Ding Ze, and I am an orphan who looks very much like the emperor. In the past, when I was about to starve to death, it was Xun Lingjun who picked me up. , and cultivate them according to the emperor’s speech and behavior.”

"Cao Cao withdrew from the Central Plains and wanted to take the Emperor with him."

"Xun Lingjun wanted to save the last drop of blood for the Han Dynasty, so he asked me to pretend to be the emperor and follow Cao Cao away."

"But the real emperor stayed in Xudu under a false identity."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Xun Lingjun would be killed by the true emperor, and that the true emperor would also die in Xudu."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xun Yu!

Xun Yu actually did this to himself!

However, the anger just rushed to the top of his head and disappeared instantly.

Wasn't it expected that Xun Yu would do this?

He had been following him before. Wasn't he always facing the emperor? He wanted to use his own power to preserve the last bit of the big man's blood. Did he want the big man to make an honorable exit?

However, he obviously underestimated the emperor's ambition.

Now, the price has been paid.

Lu Yi obviously didn't expect that Xun Yu would do this.

Thinking of Xun Yu being sentenced to death, Lu Yi came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.

Perhaps this is also a worthy ending for Liu Xie!

He actually gave death to the last loyal minister of this big man who had devoted all his energy.

After Ding Ze finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground and said to Lu Yi: "King Wu, you can execute me now."

Lu Yi looked down at Ding Ze, shook his head, helped him up and said, "Get up! If you have the courage to expose all this, it's worth living."

Ding Ze looked at Lu Yi with a smile on his face.

This bet I made was right.

After all, King Wu was a benevolent and righteous king, unlike Cao Cao.

Ding Ze stood behind Lu Yi.

After Lu Yi calmed down, he walked towards Xun You, Zhong Yao, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Le Jin and other generals and advisers, and patted their shoulders one by one.

After meeting everyone, Lu Yi opened his hands and said loudly: "From now on, you are all our soldiers of Wu Kingdom!"

"Let us work together to bring peace to the world and bring benefits to the people of the world!"

"Gu will treat every person with lofty ideals equally."

"Let us plant our flags in every corner of the world and promote the prestige of our country, Wu!"

Ling Tong roared excitedly: "King Wu!"

All the soldiers in Jiange Pass roared: "King Wu!"

"King Wu!"

"King Wu!"

Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and others in the far distance, as well as the army, all looked at each other and smiled when they heard the uniform roar coming from Jiange Pass.

It worked!

Xu Shu followed the sound in the distance and roared loudly: "King Wu!"

Zhang Liao and the army echoed at the same time: "King Wu!"

The whole world echoed with uniform roars: "King Wu! King Wu! King Wu."
