Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 795

On July [-]th of the fifth year of Xingping, the Yangtze River, which had been clear for thousands of years and carried away too many spring flowers and autumn moons, turned red for the first time. The scarlet cloak she wears is a more coquettish and cruel red.

The fire was still spreading, and countless men from the Central Plains, bearing the scars of the fire and the wounds cut by the knives and axes in the hands of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, wailed and fell into the turbulent Yangtze River, half of the fire and half of the river reflected blood. Brighten up the originally gray and steaming sky in midsummer.

Cao Cao, who had evacuated in a hurry, turned his head suddenly, and saw the eyes of the emperor of the Han Dynasty who had grown up on the other side, as clear as autumn water, and just coldly looked at everything in front of him that was enough to make him famous in history.The fireworks all over the river were just projecting blue flames at the bottom of his bottomless eyes, and Cao Cao immediately fought a cold war that pierced his heart.

The world, but one day with this emperor, Cao Cao will no longer be able to touch him.

The ensuing defeat made Cao Cao feel the pain of the defeated. This pain could not help but remind him of the scene when he was defeated by Xu Rong in Luoyang.The only difference is that at that time he was still a passionate young man with the Han Dynasty in his heart and wanting to help the troubled times.

However, looking back suddenly, that young man had already died on the Luoyang battlefield.At this time, only the middle-aged people who are past their age and are extremely bleak about the future are left.

The sound of horseshoes galloping suddenly sounded, making Cao Jun only have less than a few hundred soldiers, and he was like a frightened bird for a while.Cao Cao couldn't help sighing bitterly again: Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty had calculated the fire attack, how could he let him escape?

However, when he saw Liu Bei's compassionate face, he unexpectedly didn't see the murderous look and the excitement of winning great achievements.Yes, it's just Liu Bei's elegant voice as usual: "Meng De, the emperor is hosting a banquet, please visit Meng De."

"Your Majesty invites Cao, do you want to imitate the Mianchi Hui or the Hongmen Banquet?" The embarrassed Cao Cao tidied up his appearance, and his answer was even more sharp and direct: The Flying Pond Association is the Qin Zhao Huimeng, and the King of Qin intends to use his strength to force the King of Zhao. Sell ​​benefits.The Hongmen Banquet was a struggle between Chu and Han, and Xiang Yu planned to kill Gaozu Liu Bang at the reunion.

Liu Bei took a deep breath: "Your Majesty's intention is to invite Meng De to surrender, so that the Han Dynasty will be unified and the world will return to its heart."

"Submission?" Cao Cao smiled miserably, and suddenly said leisurely: "If I don't die, can Your Majesty feel at ease?"

"Back then, Lu Fengxian, the tiger of the world, was no more difficult to tame than Meng De, and now he stands proudly in court?" Liu Bei suddenly mentioned one person, slightly dispelling Cao Cao's fear.

However, he also knew that even if he talked to Cao Mengde for a day here at this moment, it would not help, so he waved his hand slightly, and the army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him slowly surrounded Cao Cao.Liu Bei cupped his hands slightly on the horse, and apologized: "Meng De, I offended you."

The place for the banquet was the top floor of the building where Liu Xie was.

Among the buildings and ships, except for the generals of the Han Dynasty, there is no Jiangdong civil and military.First, Jiangdong's surrender has already been negotiated, and there is no need to confuse it with Cao Cao's matter.Secondly, Cao Cao and Jiang Dong are still enemies, so it's better not to meet each other.

As a result, on the huge top floor, although the wine is fragrant and elegant, the food is rich.However, in the empty hall, it seemed extraordinarily lonely and deserted.It wasn't until Liu Bei and others brought Cao Cao into the hall that the hall was not so empty.However, with the arrival of Cao Cao, the air became even weirder.

So, Liu Xie raised his bottle and said concisely: "Drink."

Cao Mengde's withered eyes flickered a bit, and he held up the excellent imperial wine, and couldn't help a wry smile from the corner of his mouth.He drank a bottle of wine directly on an empty stomach, while Liu Xie followed Cao Cao, and Cao Cao drank a bottle, and he followed a bottle.When they were young, the wine jar on the case of the two of them was already half empty, but when they met again, their eyes were drunk, but they were no longer as hatred and compassionate as before.

"Guo Zhang," Liu Xie called Cao Cao softly, and deliberately used this title: "Today, you and I are drunk and sip your grievances. From now on, stop your swords and fights, so that there will be no more wars among Han people in the Han Dynasty, is it okay?"

"Your Majesty, what if I don't obey?" Cao Cao put down his wine bottle and asked back.

"Then today's banquet is a funeral banquet to see off the father-in-law. I will cut off the head of the father-in-law here, and completely wipe out the Cao family, so as to prevent future troubles." Without thinking, Liu Xie immediately counted all the thoughts in his heart tell.

Cao Cao nodded his head, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, the battle of the Yangtze River has completely defeated the elite of the Cao family. Only the soldiers of the prefectures and states are left in Qing, Yan, and Xu prefectures. Knowing that I have been defeated here, the Han army will definitely take over the land of the three states like boiling soup and snow."

"In the land of Yizhou, the two armies from the northeast of the Han Dynasty came together, and His Majesty already had a strategy, and even contacted the Yizhou family to help. Presumably, the victory is only in ten days."

"The land of Jiangdong... Your Majesty's great victory this time has inspired the world and won the hearts of Jiangdong. They have a chance to get up."

"At Han Sui's place in Liangzhou, Mr. Cao heard that His Majesty used Ma Mengqi as a spear to use all his sharpness, and Yang Fu, Jiang Jiong, and Zhang Ji three people were close friends and Qiang to disintegrate Han Sui's power, which caused the power of the Han Dynasty to gradually decline over the years. Withering. Presumably within three years, the Han Dynasty will be able to open up the road to the Western Regions."

"In this great Han world, only the small land in Liaodong and the barren land in Jiaozhou have not been leveled. However, for His Majesty who has already taken nine out of ten of the Han Dynasty, he does not even need a general, tens of thousands of elite soldiers All it takes is a single imperial edict to order them to send envoys to pay tribute and profess their ministers... In this way, after seven years of turmoil, this big man has really regained his unity."

Liu Xie quietly listened to Cao Cao's words, and he didn't know what emotion was in his eyes.But when Liu Xie was silent, Cao Cao drank another bottle of wine and said sharply: "But the cornerstone of all this is only built on you, the emperor of the Han Dynasty! If you Falling here, do you think the world will be unified as I said just now?!"

"I, Cao Mengde, can die, but I still have children to grow up, and the civil and military wings of the clan can already be relied on as arms. The world is in chaos again, and there is no chance of rising again. Since ancient times, princes and generals have kindness? Why do you Han After two calamities, you can still take this world as your family's world?" Cao Cao spoke fiercely, and finally pulled out the Yitian sword suddenly, and slashed at Liu Xie.

Zhao Yun on Liu Xie's side looked terrified, but Liu Xie stopped Zhao Yun with a wave of his hand, and Liu Xie, who was sitting on the desk, also had a flash around his waist.The same long sword named Yitian, Yin Ming, cut off the sword in Cao Cao's hand like a rainbow piercing the sun.Looking at Cao Cao who was pointed at by his sword point, Liu Xie was as cold as ice and iron: "The head of the country just said that I died here, could it be that he sneaked into our Han army a long time ago and threw himself into the imperial wine?" Poison, and Dong Bai who is hiding in the plywood of the cabin at this time?"

"You, you already know about this?" Cao Cao stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand, unable to believe that Liu Xie had seen through his conspiracy for more than a year.

Liu Xie was silent, just clapped his hands slightly, and then several guards brought the bound Dong Bai.When Dong Bai saw Liu Xie, his face was full of sadness and he didn't know where to start. In the end, after thousands of words, he only turned into one sentence: "Liu Xie, give me death."

"Death?" Liu Xie chewed the word painfully, his face more sad than Dong Bai's: "The head of the country said that the Han Dynasty had been in chaos for seven years, but since the time of Emperor Huanling, how many people with lofty ideals have been buried in the countryside, and how many more Innocent people are suffering from misery? Now there is a chance for the world to be united, and the common people will no longer suffer from swords and soldiers. No one can stop the unification of the Han Dynasty. Whether you are disheartened or unwilling to seek death, I will not Never mind."

"Under the tide of fate, we can choose to roar and challenge fate with the brave and tenacious attitude of the strong. But we can also try to smile and blend into this tide, connecting fate with life. Only then can we let go of everything. Obsessive, calm like water, quietly watching the clouds rise and fall..."

Throwing down the Yitian sword in his hand, Liu Xie turned his back on Cao Cao and Dong Bai, and finally showed a relaxed smile.But at this moment, Cao Cao suddenly realized.Dong Bai was silent at first, and then burst into tears...

On the surface of the river, the sound of the waves is rolling, and the wind is blowing gently.Looking up at the sky, above the Tianhe River, the wind is light and the clouds are calm, and there is no trace of chilling and condensed air.

Destiny is impermanent, only smile to face it.

……

On July [-]th of the fifth year of Xingping, General Cao Cao of Pingdong wrote a letter to plead guilty and formally surrendered to the Han Dynasty.Emperor Liu Xie stayed Cao Cao in Chang'an, and together with Anyuan General Xun You took charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty. All civil and military personnel under Cao's command were reused by the court.

On August [-], Zhou Yu led Jiangdong Sun's family and Jiangdong Wenwu to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

On August 21, Wei Yan, a new leader of the Han Dynasty, was trapped in Jiameng Guan for more than a month, and took the Ziwu Valley to raid Mianzhu.The East Road Navy also occupied the counties of Berkshire, and the land of abundance was in danger. All the civil and military clans asked Liu Zhang to surrender.Later, the Shu Lord, who had only stayed in Shuchuan for less than two years, was escorted by the Han Dynasty army into the villa that Liu Xie had built for him long ago.

On the thirteenth day of the ninth month, Han Sui’s son-in-law, Yan Zhonglang, allied with the Qiang army to besiege Jincheng, and Han Sui’s son-in-law Yan acted as an internal response, opening the city gate to let the Korean army enter the city.Ma Chao finally won the head of the enemy, and sacrificed his liver and gall to sacrifice to the old general who conquered the West.

In the seventh year of Xingping, the imperial court issued an edict to Liaodong and Jiaozhou. The Gongsun family and the scholar family were terrified. They immediately sent envoys to pay tribute, expressing their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty, so that the people in the two places would not suffer from the sword again.

In the tenth year of Xingping, the army of the Han Dynasty marched northward to the frontiers, and the emperor once again led his own conquest, contacted the Rong and Hu tribes to fight against the aliens, drove the aliens on the grassland who refused to accept the Han Dynasty for thousands of miles, and slaughtered hundreds of stubborn tribes.The source of the man-made disasters of the Five Huddlers was thus cut off.

In the 15th year of Xingping, the Han Dynasty held the first Guochao.The Western Regions and other small foreign countries all sent envoys to worship.Then he was impressed by the prosperity and wealth of the great country of the Han Dynasty and the extensive and profound Han culture, saying that the Han Dynasty was the kingdom of heaven.The princesses and princesses regard Han people as superior people, and they are all proud to marry Han people.And the prince may marry a woman from a wealthy Han family, so he can stand out in the competition...

In the 20th year of Xingping, the prince Liu Yi, who was taught by Liu Xie, was intentionally awarded the post of supervisor of the country by Liu Xie.Therefore, when Liu Yi saw the emperor Liu Xie and the generals of the Han Dynasty training the water army in Kunming Lake several times, he shook his head in doubt and said that the world is settled, and there is no need to do so.

At that time, Liu Xie, who already had a long beard, looked at the emptiness, as if he saw another world he yearned for through the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, and said in a solemn and lonely tone: "Yi'er, the Han Dynasty is not the whole world. In the Han Dynasty Facing the south of Nanyang, there is also a magical area, where a magical plant grows, which makes people feel like they are in the air. I have struggled for most of my life, just for that ultimate goal!..."
