The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 452
The battle between Dongfang Sheng and Zhong Yao had a far-reaching impact. Dongfang Sheng cleared the way for the attack on Xudu, and at the same time accelerated the process of the decisive battle.

After Dongfang Sheng rested in the camp for three days, he reorganized his team and went straight to Xudu.

The last time Dongfang Sheng went to Xu to attend Sun Quan's wedding. At that time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were defeated. Both of them were in a panic. Because of the incident of the clothes and belts, Dongfang Sheng almost couldn't come back. This time Dongfang Sheng came with soldiers and horses. Xudu, with the intention of capturing Xudu and ending the Cao Dynasty.

During this period of time, because Dongfang Sheng was busy with government affairs and preparing for war, he didn't pay attention to Sun Quan and Liu Bei, the two down-and-out wanderers, but thinking about it, the two of them would not be willing to be lonely.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng's number one enemy now is Cao Pi, and there are priorities. At present, solving Cao Pi is what Dongfang Sheng has to do.

At this time, Xudu was just when the turmoil subsided, and Cao Pi's killing was coming to an end, but the whole Xudu seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood.

A fast horse came galloping from the official road. When the soldiers of the Wei army guarding the gate were about to stop it, the man on the horse reined in the horse's reins and stopped at the gate.

"Put me in!"

The person who came was a young man who seemed to be busy with travel and dust, probably because he had been running around for days.

The soldier guarding the gate squinted at the young man on horseback and said, "Oh, do you not know the rules or something?"

As soon as the young man frowned, he reached out and took out a sign from his arms and threw it to the soldier guarding the gate. The soldier was startled by the young man's action, but he immediately became respectful after taking the sign in his arms.

The gatekeepers have the widest knowledge and are familiar with all three religions and nine streams. He can tell where this brand is with a squint. This is a person in the royal city and cannot afford to offend.

"Please come in, the villain just now didn't know Taishan, please forgive me." The gatekeeper nodded and bowed and handed the sign back to the young man.

The only answer to him was a muffled grunt and the sound of horseshoes fleeing away.

Half an hour later, the young man appeared in Cao Pi's palace. He handed a round bamboo tube to Cao Pi, then knelt aside and waited for Cao Pi to read the contents of the bamboo tube and give him orders.

Cao Pi used the small dagger on the case table to cut open the wax seal on the bamboo tube, and carefully pulled out the paper full of words inside.

After a hasty glance, Cao Pi flew into a rage and said, "What a Zhong Yao! Good Dongfang Sheng!"

After reading it patiently, Cao Pi showed a pensive expression on his face.

After a while, Cao Pi glanced at the young man kneeling aside and asked, "Does your captain have anything to ask you to say?"

The young man replied unhurriedly: "My lord has no face to see His Majesty, he wants to gather people to be His Majesty's vanguard."

"Oh, that's it." Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your lord is really loyal to the country, how about this, you go back and tell him that I agree with him."

"Here!" The young man knelt back and left.

As soon as the young man left, the smile on Cao Pi's face immediately subsided, and a man in Xiaohuangmen costume flashed up behind him and said, "Why do you have to be so sad, Your Majesty, what is there to fear from a mere Dongfang Sheng?"

"What you said was easy. At that time, I was going to take the position of King Wei. You were talking about hype, but in the end it wasn't..." Cao Pi said angrily, "Now you jump out and say that Dongfang wins is nothing to worry about, so please Tell me, what can I do to stop him now?"

The little yellow door actually walked up to Cao Pi and stood opposite Cao Pi. Under the weak sunlight, the figure of the little yellow door stretched very long, and his face seemed to be in the shadow all the time.

"If you can rest assured, we will take care of this matter, and then you can just sit back and enjoy the achievements." The little Huangmen said with a smile.

Cao Pi hesitated for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, let's trust you again this time."

"Hey, Your Majesty, don't forget, if it wasn't for us, your position would not be stable until now." Xiao Huangmen's laughter was very piercing.

Thinking of the power represented by the little yellow gate, Cao Pi suddenly felt that he might make a deal with the devil, but when he thought that he was wearing a yellow robe now and had great power in his hands, he felt a little disapproving.

Is there any king in the world, who can shake his throne?

Cao Pi looked at the memorial on the case table contentedly, and the little Huangmen also disappeared in a timely manner and did not appear again.

It was getting dark, a group of cavalry galloped away from Xudu, and disappeared after a few strokes on the official road.

Three days later, another shocking news came from Cao Wei, Zhong Yao resigned!
There was a vacancy for Captain Sili, but Cao Pi did not immediately appoint the new Captain Sili, but chose to take over everything about Captain Sili, personnel, intelligence, and all previous arrangements.

At this time, Dongfang Sheng had already approached Xudu, and Dongfang Sheng did not encounter any decent interception along the way.

Dongfang Sheng felt that Cao Pi probably wanted to let him in and encircle and annihilate him, but many people wanted to do this, but none of them succeeded in the end.

At the same time, Dongfang Sheng also learned of Zhong Yao's resignation.

Regarding Zhong Yao's approach, Tuobahan and Badao thought it was a wise move, but Dongfang Sheng shook his head.

Lieutenant Sili is in charge of searching for information. Such an institution will be greedy for everyone, and in the end it must be controlled by the emperor. Zhong Yao has been in control of Lieutenant Sili for a long time. Even if he handed over his power and then handed over everything, so what ?Cao Pi still won't let him go, as long as Cao Pi recruits Sili Xiaowei and clears Zhong Yao's direct lineage, he will immediately attack Zhong Yao.

This is politics without a shred of humanity.

But this is an internal matter of Cao Wei, and Dongfang Sheng won't pay too much attention to such a dog-to-dog thing.

And Dongfang Sheng and the others finally met a strong enemy before arriving in Xudu, and a large number of cavalry from the Wei army blocked Dongfang Sheng's way.

At the same time, a general of the Wei army actually pushed out a wooden cage when the two armies were facing each other, and there was a person hanging in the cage, which was Zhang Ping's father, Zhang Lei.

"Haha, Dongfang boy, this is your old father-in-law. If you want to save him, come here alone, otherwise don't blame me for being a black hand!" This general of the Wei army was also newly promoted, so he had no friendship with Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei, who was in the wooden cage, was beaten directly with a whip and said to Dongfang Sheng.

At that time, Dongfang Sheng defected from Cao Cao's command. Zhang Lei did not escape with Dongfang Sheng because of Cao Cao's kindness. Later, Cao Cao did not embarrass Zhang Lei, but trusted Zhang Lei very much.

So Zhang Lei has been doing very well, but this situation changed after Cao Pi murdered his father and usurped the throne. First, the military power was seized, and then Zhang Lei was arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up charges. Now he is used as a weapon against Dongfang Sheng The bargaining chip is enough to show Cao Pi's attitude towards the old ministers left by Cao Cao.
