King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 508 Persuading Cao Pi

Cao Pi grabbed Liu Ye's collar and shook it to find a good one. Liu Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, was full of tears. He endured Cao Pi's even rough shaking, crying and said: "Young master! The news is absolutely true, the leader of the Blood Killing Battalion Hou Yu has already handed over the sword that the lord carries with him to Li Lin, it is the lord who is indeed dead!"

Cao Pi mournfully shouted: "Why! Why! Father understands righteousness and is unparalleled in the world. Why did he fall to such a point! Father, father!"

"My lord!" Xun You shouted, then lowered his voice, and said, "Don't be sad, my lord! My lord's foundation is still there, so don't let it be taken away by Li Yuanjie. My lord's spirit in heaven is watching you! My lord, for this Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou Elders of the three provinces, please take back your sorrow, and enter the siege of Lord Deng!"

Xun You's words made everyone wake up. Now Cao Cao is dead, and he is dead. He can't live anymore, but Cao Cao's family business is still there. Even if Li Lin conquered Xuchang, he only occupied Xuchang. A small part of Cao Cao's city has a large area of ​​land in the hands of Cao Jun. The dragons have no leader and are bound to perish. Therefore, at the moment, it is better to support Cao Pi, Cao Cao's oldest son, as the lord.

"Meet the lord!" Everyone immediately fell to their knees and shouted to Cao Pi who was still in grief.

A child who is only 13 years old, although he was born in a family like Cao Cao, is too young after all, and has not yet reached the age of desire for power. Excited by gaining full strength but a little scared. His father had just died, and such courage was on his shoulders. How could Cao Pi not be afraid?

Cao Pi immediately shouted: "No! No! I don't want to be the lord, I just want my father, father!" Cao Pi was still roaring, the sadness and tremendous pressure made a 13-year-old child a little crazy.

"My lord! Don't do this! My lord, the great cause is the most important thing, the great cause is the most important thing!" Everyone kept persuading.

"No! No!" Cao Pi yelled twice, and was about to get up and run away. Xun You on one side hurriedly pulled him down, dissuading him: "My lord, don't do this. The old lord has passed away, but the great cause is still there. The lord needs to be in charge!"

"No! I don't want it, I don't want it!" Cao Pi didn't shout for a while, but was a little confused, shaking his head dully and muttering.

"Niezi! Presumptuous!" Suddenly there was a roar, but it was not deafening. If there was still some softness, everyone would know that after disposing of a woman, Cao Pi was stunned when he heard the voice, and turned his head suddenly, only to see everyone get out of the way After taking their place, a woman came over with the support of several maidservants, accompanied by two young children.

The officials were shocked when they saw this person, and hurriedly lowered their heads, saying "Ma'am!" It turned out that this person was Cao Cao's regular wife, Mrs. Bian, and Cao Pi's biological mother.

Mrs. Bian learned that Cao Cao was dead, of course she was very sad. Cao Cao died, what to do if they left their orphans and widowed mothers, but these courtiers under Cao Cao were right. , Cao Pi is still there, the foundation is still there, and if someone inherits it, he will have a chance to make a comeback one day. Although Mrs. Bian has not studied, she is also extremely wise, but she is just a wife. In this society, how can she interfere in political affairs? Seeing Cao Pi evading, Mrs. Bian knew that at this moment, she was the only one who could hold Cao Pi steady, so she resisted the pain in her back and stood up. Under great grief, she couldn't stand still, and needed two maids support.

Mrs. Bian walked up, pointed at Cao Pi and shouted angrily: "You rebellious son, you are worthy of your father's training, kneel down!"

Cao Pi suddenly knelt on the ground, threw himself into Madam Bian's arms, and shouted, "Mother, father..." Halfway through speaking, Cao Pi was choked up and speechless.

Madam Bian suppressed her tears and her unsteady body, nodded, and said, "Nian knows it, mother knows it! But my son, your father's hard-earned foundation has been robbed by others. Your father was also brutally attacked by the enemy. You are your father's son. You want to avenge your father, and you want to inherit your father's inheritance. My son, you have no choice but to do this. If you are afraid, Just cry in Wei Niang's arms!"

"Mother!" Cao Pi wailed, lying in Mrs. Bian's arms and opened it, and the officials on one side were also shouting "Master!" The son crying in his mother's arms is the most touching. The words spoken were indeed from the heart, and they were more able to exaggerate the sad atmosphere than those poems and songs, and everyone in the group was moved.

Mrs. Bian wanted to reprimand Cao Pi, but when she saw her own son like this, she was so cruel that she could only persuade Cao Pi with affection. Mrs. Bian lifted Cao Pi's face from her arms and looked into Cao Pi's eyes , said: "My son, you have to know that crying cannot avenge your father. After crying in your mother's arms, you have to take up your father's people. The revival of my Cao family depends on you! Mother I know you are afraid, but baby, who made you the son of Cao Mengde? You must remember that my Cao family cannot lose face, you are the son of Cao Mengde, and you will definitely revitalize my Cao family!"

Hearing his mother's affectionate words, although Cao Pi was still very afraid, but even for his own mother and his younger brothers and sisters, he had to fight for his breath. Cao Pi immediately corrected, his firm eyes were not at all a 13 A year old should have it, but God didn't give Cao Pi time. Cao Pi must inherit his father's family business and fight against Li Lin. Cao Pi said firmly: "Mother, don't be afraid, my son will avenge his father!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Madam Bian uttered three good words in succession, and said, "As expected of your father's son!"

Cao Pi stood up slowly, and said softly to Mrs. Bian, "Mother, you've been exhausted all the way, go and rest now!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Bian nodded, and was helped away by two maidservants, and Cao Pi could actually see that his mother had been holding on because he was not up to date and wanted to persuade him, so he should be more worthy Mother, worthy of father's training.

Cao Pi watched his mother, and turned his head casually, his eyes sparkled. When everyone looked at Cao Pi, they knew that Cao Pi was no longer the son of the past, but had become his own lord. Under the leadership of Liu Ye and Xun You, everyone knelt down immediately On the ground, he shouted: "My lord!"

Cao Pi nodded and said: "My lords, please stand up!" Then he said: "Master Xun!"

"Here!" Xun You cupped his hands.

Cao Pi tried his best to look like an adult again, and said to Xun You: "Now our army is newly defeated, and my father has been brutally killed by Li Yuanjie. , if he takes advantage of the victory to pursue, I am afraid that we will all be lost forever! How can my lord measure it!"

Xun You cupped his hands and returned: "My lord, although Li Yuanjie won a big victory, he still suffered a lot of losses. Now that winter is coming, the Youliao army has come from afar, and there is no sufficient food and grass, nor winter clothes, and Henan is wet and cold. You Liao is different, the You Liao army will definitely suffer from many diseases in winter, Li Yuanjie has a deep understanding of this way, so he will definitely not attack on a large scale, and if he attacks our army quickly, he will be afraid!"

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Oh? What is Li Yuanjie afraid of?"

Xun You cupped his hands and said, "Li Yuanjie is not afraid of our army, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Jiangdong!"

Cao Pi asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Xun You said: "Now the old lord is dead, and our army is defeated. Li Lin will occupy Xuchang, and then he will sweep the Central Plains, and then he will suddenly become the biggest prince in the world. Liu Biao and Sun Quan will never agree. The former lord Qiang, Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Liu He will all send troops to attack our army, but now if our army is strong, and Li Yuanjie is strong, all the princes in the world will inevitably point their fingers at Li Lin and ignore our army! How smart Li Lin is, of course he also knows this Reasonable, and the master has learned from the past, I will definitely not use weapons rashly in this cold winter!"

Cao Pi asked again: "Oh? Then I can't wait to die in Yuzhou? Do you have a hostile strategy?"

Xun You immediately said: "If we want to be hostile to Li Yuanjie, our army must unite with Liu Biao and Sun Quan to fight against Li Yuanjie's Youliao army. In addition, we must use alienation tactics to provoke the relationship between Li Lin and Liu He, and cause internal strife. Li Lin will definitely not Stay here in Henan for a long time!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi said angrily: "I have a big enmity with Liu Biao and Sun Quan, how can I beg them!"

Xun You immediately said: "My lord, we are already on the verge of life and death. The old lord also committed himself to Dong Zhuo and flattered Yuan Shao. Today, the crisis of our army is imminent. I hope that the lord can learn to build a life-saving and courageous one, and feel wronged!"

Cao Pi slowly closed his eyes, letting himself think of flattering his enemies, which was against his principles, but for tens of thousands of Cao soldiers, as well as his mother, younger brother, and younger sister, what could he do?Taking a deep breath, Cao Pi said: "Hey..... according to my lord's wishes, just say it, so-and-so agrees!"

Xun You said: "Sun Quan is young and vigorous, and he has a feud with Liu Biao of Jingzhou who killed his father. It is very difficult to unite the two families at the same time, so we must choose one, and the other is to let the apprentice let him go. Its border with Li Yuanjie, over time, there will definitely be friction, and if we continue to instigate it, we will definitely win the battle!"

Cao Pi was surprised when he heard the big crisis: "What, does your lord mean that you want us to give up the few cities?" It’s worse than dying and being at home......
