Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 240 Three words and three invitations, the world

Wherever they went, Cao Jun did not harm the people at all. Even if they captured the city, they would not massacre the city. They would even send people out to appease the people and reassure them.

In this way, no matter who is the master of Jiangdong, Cao Cao or Sun Quan, it seems that it is not that important.

There are still few people who care about national affairs, and more people are just worried about whether they can have enough to eat.

Although Jiangdong Land has recruited many soldiers during this period, they are all new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. When facing Cao Cao's army, they were already frightened before the war started.

Even under Cao Jun's offensive, it collapsed at the first touch, and there was not much decent resistance at all.

"It's over, everything is over, Grand Governor, I'm sorry for you!"

Gan Ning looked at the soldiers in Jiangdong in front of him. They were dying and running away. Now he was not even in the mood to pay attention to those deserters.

This time, Jiang Dong was really doomed, and Zhou Yu's last wish for Jiang Dong to fight to the end was destined to be impossible to fulfill.

Gan Ning knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

The same situation as him is happening in various places in the land of Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu led his army to resist and fought tenaciously, but in the end he died on the battlefield due to old age and physical weakness.

Lu Meng succeeded Zhou Yu, but he had no prestige at all. With the entire army defeated, he felt that he had no face to see Jiangdong's elders, so he committed suicide.

The young Lu Xun had high hopes, but in the end he was too inexperienced to take on the important responsibility. After the defeat, he fled back to Jianye.

The entire Jiangdong land is composing a tragic picture.

The four armies of Cao's army marched forward with great success. All the resistance they encountered along the way were crushed by their generals, and finally they met at the foot of Jianye City, the capital of Jiangdong.

In Jianye City, all the clans united together. They broke into the Wu Palace and met Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was much more haggard than before, and he guessed the purpose of these clans coming.

"Lord, don't be stubborn, we are defeated!"

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan, no longer as respectful as before.

Sun Quan raised his head tiredly, but he didn't see much anger on his face.

He just asked calmly: "Mr. Zhang, if Jiangdong could work together, could today's situation be changed?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "The situation is over and there is nothing we can do to resist it."

Sun Quan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Yes, Jiang Dong failed, Zhou Yu failed, and I failed, so let's grant your wish."

On this day, Sun Quan from Jiangdong could not resist the oppression of his clan and surrendered to Kaicheng.

……

The land of Xichuan was also experiencing a fierce fight at this time.

Liu Zhang suddenly sent troops to attack, catching Liu Bei and others by surprise.

You must know that this is Xichuan, Liu Zhang's place, and the military strength is dozens of times theirs. They are unable to resist at all.

"Liu Zhang betrayed his trust and sent troops to attack us, which is shameful to everyone in the world!"

Liu Bei and others fought bloody battles and finally broke out of the siege. Almost all of his soldiers died in the battle. Only Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others accompanied Liu Bei and fought out.

Seeing the family fortune he had finally accumulated dying in front of his eyes, Liu Bei was about to collapse.

I have been wandering for half my life, and I don’t want to be in the trough all the time. Even if I have ambitions, I have already wasted them all.

"Lord, as long as we escape, we still have a chance!"

Until this moment, Zhuge Liang only felt unwilling.

Seeing that they were only one step away from escaping the land of Xichuan, they did not expect that Zhang Liao led an army in front to block their way and cut off their last hope.

"Military advisor, I have disappointed you." Liu Bei had no fighting spirit at this moment.

The others also had serious expressions on their faces and were determined to die.

Zhang Liao came to the front of the army, looked at the miserable Liu Bei and others, and couldn't help but sigh.

"General Guan, you definitely can't escape today, so you'd better surrender."

"My lord and you still have feelings for each other, maybe I can spare your life."

Guan Yu stepped forward with a big sword in his hand and snorted coldly: "Guan will not surrender, let Cao Cao give up."

Liu Bei stepped forward and held Guan Yu's hand with tears in his eyes: "Second brother!"

Zhang Fei also stepped forward at this time. He no longer had the irritability before, but became much gentler.

"Eldest brother, second brother, I have never regretted my life with you. Today, my three brothers will die together!"

Liu Bei smiled and shed tears.

"The oath I made to Taoyuan that day is still vivid in my mind today. I am the eldest brother who is sorry for you in this life, but we will still be brothers in the next life!"

The three of them looked up at the sky, all laughing. The sun was setting in the west, and the backs of the three brothers were forever frozen in this sunset scene.

These three brothers who lived in troubled times drew their swords and committed suicide on this day, and they still held each other's hands tightly after death.

Zhuge Liang burst into tears, but Zhao Yun was unparalleled in his loyalty. He picked up his gun, mounted his horse, rushed towards Cao's army, and eventually died in the chaos.

Seeing that the situation was over, Wei Yan and others finally surrendered.

Liu Bei's power was completely destroyed!
News of the pacification of Jiangdong soon spread back to Xuchang.

Sun Quan and others were being escorted by Cao Ren and quickly rushed back to Xuchang.

It is foreseeable that Sun Quan will spend his whole life in Xuchang in the future.

At Ye Fan's house, Sun Shangxiang heard the news about Jiang Dong and burst into tears and threw herself into Ye Fan's arms.

But she also understood that this was the best outcome for Sun Quan, at least Sun Quan was still alive.

Just living is enough.

The news of Liu Bei's destruction also reached Xuchang.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed happily after losing two of his most trusted friends.

But the good news doesn't stop there.

In the land of Xichuan, Liu Zhang felt very uncomfortable after learning the news of Liu Bei's demise.

"I only thought Liu Bei was my trouble before, but after getting rid of Liu Bei, I suddenly felt very lonely. Could it be that I really did something wrong?"

Li Yan stepped forward to persuade him: "Lord, since everything has been done, it is useless to regret now. Next, we have to think about what we should do." "Eight points of the world are now in Cao Cao's hands. With two points left, Cao Cao will definitely not let it go."

Liu Zhang nodded: "Yes, I have known for a long time that Cao Cao will never let us go. There is no point in persisting."

"Everyone, I want to surrender to Cao Cao. What do you think?"

Now, even if Fazheng and others still have great ambitions, they have no room to display them.

"I believe Cao Cao will send his army back soon. When the time comes, we will be unable to resist at all. I think surrendering may be the best way out."

Everyone else nodded. Even though some people didn't like Cao Cao in their hearts, they had no ability to resist against the general trend.

Liu Zhang sighed deeply.

"That's all. I hope Cao Cao won't be too harsh on me."

……

Hanzhong.

Zhang Luxiong had been in Hanzhong for nearly thirty years. When he learned that Cao Cao had conquered Jiangdong and that Liu Zhang was about to surrender, he immediately understood that the world would belong to Cao Cao.

So he also made a decision, which was to surrender to Cao Cao.

"This is also for the sake of the people of Hanzhong. In this way, the people will be saved from the war."

Zhang Lu saw it very clearly and understood that if he did not surrender, Cao Cao would definitely use troops against Hanzhong in the future.

In addition to Zhang Lu, Han Sui from Guanzhong also had the same idea.

Although they had strong soldiers and horses, they were still not enough to face Cao Cao, so Han Sui gave up his unrealistic ideas and surrendered directly.

The last one to surrender was Ma Chao.

As the son of Ma Teng, Ma Chao originally wanted to make some achievements in troubled times with the help of 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, but he knew that there was no way he could make a comeback.

Fortunately, he did not break up with Cao Cao before, so now he surrenders to Cao Cao, it can be said that it is a matter of course.

Cao Cao sent troops to Jiangdong, Xichuan, and Hanzhong, and was very tolerant of Liu Zhang and others, and still retained their titles and official positions.

They were even allowed to stay in the territory, which made Liu Zhang and others even more grateful.

……

In the Xuchang Palace, Cao Cao specially sent news of the surrender of various places to the palace. In name, he made Liu Xie happy, but in fact he was forcing Liu Xie.

The more this happened, the more powerless Liu Xie felt in his heart.

Now that the world is at peace, what can he do to resist Cao Cao?

The unification of the world was all due to Cao Cao, so how could he have the dignity to continue sitting on the throne.

"Alas, Cao Cao, this world is yours."

The next day at the court, Liu Xie walked directly in front of Cao Cao in front of all the civil and military officials.

"Prime Minister, now that the world is at peace, there are no more wars, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is all due to you. I also feel that I am not worthy of sitting here, and I hope to abdicate the throne to you."

Cao Cao suddenly felt very surprised. After all, although he wanted to become the emperor, Cao Cao didn't think so soon, and Liu Xie had not discussed it with him before.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Cao Cao quickly declined.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this. You are the orthodox Han Dynasty. How can you change dynasties so easily?"

Liu Xie smiled bitterly.

"My dear, there is no need to refuse. As long as the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, who cares about which dynasty and generation it belongs to?"

"I have lived in the palace for so many years, but I feel deeply insignificant. I want to be a commoner again and see the world."

Cao Cao still declined: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The world has just been unified, and your Majesty still has a lot to do. How can you give up halfway at this time?"

The civil and military officials in the court were also extremely surprised. They could also see that Cao Cao did not know about this and it was Liu Xie's own idea.

So they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Liu Xie was very calm at this time, and his eyes were rare and firm.

"Everyone, you are needed to govern the world, but I am not needed. As long as you live and work in peace and contentment, I am nothing more than a symbol. What's wrong with a capable person occupying the throne?"

"Besides, I am really tired. Maybe this palace never belongs to me."

He looked at Cao Cao with no resentment at all.

"My dear, you have always been the one who governs the world. Now I have only one request, which is to let me go and let me become an ordinary citizen. Are you not willing to even have this little freedom?"

Looking at the puppet-like Liu Xie, Cao Cao felt sympathy for the first time in his heart.

At this time, all the civil and military officials could see that Liu Xie really wanted to abdicate, so they all turned to look at Cao Cao.

"Please, Prime Minister, take over the throne!"

Cao Cao felt extremely relieved when he saw that this was what the people wanted.

After a lifetime of struggle, the results finally came to fruition.

He put on the dragon robe, put on the crown, and finally slowly sat on the dragon chair.

……

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie and Cao Cao made three requests, and finally abdicated the throne to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao took office, he announced to the world, worked hard to govern, and established the name Wei.

And Cao Pi was finally established as the crown prince and worshiped Ye Fan as his young master.

However, after the world was at peace, Ye Fan only taught Cao Pi for a while and then resigned from Cao Cao.

"Sir, do you really want to leave? We have conquered the world together, and you haven't even enjoyed it yet."

Cao Cao looked at Ye Fan, his eyes full of reluctance.

Ye Fan smiled freely: "Your Majesty, all my original ideas have been realized. Now that the world is unified, I have no place to use it, so I don't want to stay here."

"There is always a time to say goodbye. Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad."

"Well, I had already guessed that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Sir, it seems I can only wish you a safe journey." Cao Cao smiled bitterly, with tears in his eyes.

Ye Fan jumped on the carriage, snuggled together with Sun Shangxiang, and drifted away under the sunset.
