The Most Powerful Man in the World

Anyone with discerning eyes can see this, so after the news of Zhang Ren's capture came back to Yizhou, the overall situation was actually settled.

The fact that Cao Cao led the army all the way into the middle of Sichuan is a clear proof. Under the active surrender of the local families, even a very small number of Liu Yan's die-hards tried to resist, but before these people took action, they were already arrested. Those local families were taken down and presented together with the city.

In just a few months, Cao Cao led the vanguard army and crossed all the dangerous city gates and appeared under the city of Chengdu.

Looking at the high city wall, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. There is no exaggeration at all that the dangerous land of Shutian is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Liu Yan's subordinates really have a group of loyal subordinates, to be honest, Cao Cao really doesn't have much confidence to conquer Sichuan and Shu.

Of course, the overall situation has now been decided. Tens of thousands of vanguards have appeared under the city of Chengdu. Even Liu Yanyou can't change the ending of defeat.

On the city wall, Liu Yan, who was in high spirits more than half a year ago, now looks like he has aged by a dozen years, and even his temples are full of hair.

In any case, Liu Yan is a noble family member of the royal family, and whoever can dominate one side is naturally not an ordinary person.

In history, Liu Biao did not completely control the lands of Jingxiang and several counties until his death, but Liu Yan easily controlled the lands of Sichuan and Shu, and passed it on to his descendants, which shows Liu Yan's ability.

Now Liu Yan is standing on the city wall, but there are only a few civil and military people beside him. All fools know that Liu Yan's situation is over, and facing the imperial army, Chengdu City may be breached at any time. At this time, he will choose to stand with Liu Yan. If so, even if you don’t want to die, you have to think about it for your family.

When Zhang Ren was captured, the only general Liu Yan could trust was Yan Yan. As for the generals such as Meng Da, Wu Yi, and Li Yan, Liu Yan couldn't believe it.

Liu Yan believed that if there was a chance, these people would definitely choose to tie themselves up to Cao Cao without hesitation. Therefore, there are more than [-] schools in Chengdu, but Liu Yan can only trust Yan Yan.

Looking at Cao Cao under the city, Liu Yan stepped forward and said loudly, "Cao Mengde, come forward and talk."

Cao Cao and Liu Yan are old acquaintances. After all, Cao Cao was considered a little famous in the capital at the beginning. As for Liu Yan, let alone Liu Yan, he was a popular figure in the capital.

In the past day, Cao Cao wanted to look up to Liu Yan. Now, seeing Liu Yan's old appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Liu Yan is like Liu Yu, even if he is as honest as Liu Biao, then the imperial court will not treat these clans badly.

It was who made Liu Yan the first to jump out to become the king and hegemon. In this case, Liu Yan's fate was already doomed.

That is to say, Liu Yan is the clan. Otherwise, if someone else dared to be as high as Liu Yan, the imperial court had already ordered the annihilation of his nine clans, so how could he only deprive Liu Yan of his identity and take him away? demoted to commoners.

Of course, for a person like Liu Yan, once he was demoted from a high-ranking royal family to a commoner, the gap in identity alone was not something that ordinary people could bear.Might as well kill Liu Yan directly.

After patting the horse, Cao Cao urged the horse to take a few steps forward, bowed his hands to Liu Yan and said, "Cao Mengde has seen Master Liu."

Liu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Cao. After a while, he sighed and said to Cao Cao, "Cao Mengde, Liu has something to ask for."

Cao Cao was only stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Yan with a complicated look and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it outright, but if Cao can answer, you will not disappoint your prince."

When Liu Yan heard the words, he laughed and said, "Okay, as expected of Cao Mengde, with your words, Liu can feel at ease."

While speaking, Liu Yan looked straight at Cao Cao and said, "The people around Liu are not hostile to the court, it is only because of Liu that they help Liu against the court, so Liu hopes that you can report to Cao Mengde. The Ming court, don't implicate them."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said: "This matter is easy, the imperial court has not even pursued the envoy too much, and naturally it will not be massacred."

Liu Yan nodded and said, "There is also Zhang'er, the matter of self-reliance has nothing to do with Zhang'er, but Zhang'er is used to the good life of brocade clothes and splendid clothes, and suddenly the dust is thrown away, Liu only asks Cao Mengde that you can Take care of one or two, not to make him rich, at least to be able to live in peace."

Liu Yan knew that although the court said that he would not be held accountable because of his identity, it did not mean that no one would target them and their son.

He could have died in one go. The key point was that Liu Zhang, his son, would not survive for long if there was no one to take care of him.

Cao Cao obviously knew this, so when Liu Yan made such a request, he showed a bit of hesitation on his face, but soon, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Please don't worry about your lord, if Cao is here, you won't Will allow others to kill Young Master Ling."

Liu Yan laughed loudly and said, "So you can go in peace of mind."

While speaking, Liu Yan suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and wiped it between his neck.

Yan Yan and the others standing beside Liu Yan obviously guessed that Liu Yan's heart was dying, so they were not surprised at Liu Yan's actions, only sadness in their eyes.

"Lord, go slow, the end is coming!"

Seeing that Yan Yan also pulled out his sword and wiped his neck, he fell beside Liu Yan. As for the other scribes, there was black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. breath.

Liu Zhang seemed to be frightened by all this, and sat there crying bitterly.

Following Liu Yan's suicide, the city gate slowly opened, Cao Cao waved his hand, and the army entered the city.

When Cao Cao took the crowd up to the tower and saw the bodies of Liu Yan and several people lying there lying on the tower, he sighed slightly: "Haosheng collected the corpses and transported them to the capital."

Just looking at the few people lying beside Liu Yan, Cao Cao felt quite emotional, thinking that when Liu Yan became king and hegemony, there were many people who responded, and hundreds of people came forward to join Liu Yan. There were only a few people who went to die together.

Yizhou was pacified, and the biggest forces in the world who resisted the imperial court disappeared. As for some small forces in the local area, they suddenly became honest and did not dare to stir up the slightest movement, for fear that the imperial court would send a large army to suppress them.

above the hall.

When the news that Yizhou had been recaptured came to the capital, hundreds of officials were excited. No one could have imagined that the crumbling big man would be revived again. Looking at this situation, as long as there are no accidents, the big Han will continue to have no luck in the country for hundreds of years. question.

The eyes of one after another are looking at the figure sitting there, which seems to be extremely low-key.

It was such a servant who was not taken into account by anyone at first, and in just a few short years, he was able to pull the big man who fell into the abyss back from the desperate situation, and even brought him on the right path.

Even if some old officials who were loyal to the big Han did not look down on Chu Yi in their hearts, they had no choice but to sigh that although the former Han Lingdi was absurd, the only thing he did right was to make Chu Yi simple. The big man has a white jade column in the sky and a purple golden beam in the sea.

If Chu Yi was not born, I am afraid that the big man will really end and become history.

When the world is settled, it is natural to reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and that's all. But when facing Chu Yi, the court is in a dilemma, because Chu Yi has already reached the point where he can't be sealed.

To reward Chu Yi again, the imperial court really couldn't think of how to reward him. After all, at the level of Chu Yi, he was already an extremely personable official, and if he went further, only the supreme position in the world would be worthy of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi's memorial was presented, and all the civil and military officials in the court were confused by Chu Yi's request. It turned out that Chu Yi's memorial said that he was willing to turn the imperial court's award into a request.

Build a big altar that reaches the sky, the altar is thousands of feet high, it can be said to reach the sky.Such a large altar, even if it is placed in a world with many strong people on this side, can be regarded as a big project. Even if it is shot by the strong in the army, it will take a lot of effort to do it.

Worrying about how to reward Chu Yi's hundred officials, it is only a step that Chu Yi gave to the imperial court and the emperor. Many old ministers secretly praised Chu Yi's understanding of the overall situation and naturally agreed with Chu Yi's request [-]. As for Chu Yi To build such a big altar to the sky, although many people are very curious, but curiosity turns to curiosity, and it is only right to order and approve it at the first time.

Chu Palace

A group of staff members in the palace gathered together. After all, as the king of Chu, Chu Yi had the right to open the palace and build a government office, which brought together all the great talents in civil and military affairs that Chu Yi had gathered in the past few years.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others all looked at Chu Yi sitting there with puzzled expressions. Although they also knew that the imperial court had no seal on Chu Yi, they were not concerned about Chu Yi's request from the imperial court to build a building that reached the sky. The big altar is still very curious.

After all, they don't understand why Chu Yi spends so much time to build a great altar to the sky for no reason. As for the outside rumors, this is Chu Yi's intentional request, in order to give the court a step, but for these wise men , They don't believe this kind of outside rumors.

Guo Jia looked at Chu Yi with a light cough and said, "Your Highness, the imperial court has given permission to build the Great Altar to the Sky. Now Your Highness can always answer my questions."

Lu Su looked at a young scholar sitting beside him with a sincere face and interest.

Zhou Yu was sitting there rather uncomfortable. All the people present were talented people. He was recruited into the palace for only ten months, but he had already deeply felt the abilities of these people present. Not worse than him, and some people are even afraid that it will take him some years to be comparable to him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although it seemed that everyone present did not pay much attention to Chu Yi, when Guo Jia spoke, even Zhou Yu perked up his ears immediately, although he said that his eyes were facing Lu Su, he looked like They looked at each other, but their attention was on Chu Yi.

Not only Zhou Yu and Lu Su, but it can be said that everyone focused on Chu Yi.

Chu Yi sat there, his eyes swept across the group of people, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These people can be said to include most of the top talents of this era.

Not only the civil servants but also the military generals, there are more than one hundred people in total.

Although some of them do not have a strong sense of belonging for him, and only more than half of them truly surrender to him, Chu Yi believes that once he reveals his plans next, he does not believe that those people can Resist the temptation.

Thanks to Chu Yi's early suppression of Yuan Shao and Han Sui, and Dong Zhuo's early death, there was no major chaos in the big man, so many civil servants and generals who would have died in the wars are now safe and sound.

Even among the civil servants and military generals who belonged to the Chang'an court at the beginning, except for a very few people who died, most people now choose to submit to the court. After all, these people think about their clan even if they don't think about themselves.

It is precisely because of this that the talents in the world have been preserved, and when Chu Yi looked at the crowd of civil and military personnel below, he inevitably felt a little bit of the world's talents in my hands.

Building the Great Altar to the Heavens is a means by which Chu Yi intends to leave this world and take away some people.

It's not good to leave so quietly, just like he was in the world of Song Dynasty, when he left, he made a lot of noise.

After leaving this world this time, Chu Yi didn't intend to leave so quietly, not to mention that he made such a big move to make some people less suspicious of him, right?

After all, not everyone will believe his words, so sometimes the form is still very important, at least it can deepen the impression of others.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi coughed lightly and looked at everyone and said, "I think you are all very curious about why Chu built such a great altar to the sky."

Everyone didn't speak, but they nodded in unison, and then looked at Chu Yi expectantly. Seeing that Chu Yi paid so much attention and made such a big noise, this great altar to the sky must be unusual.

It was like Lu Bu was sitting there with a bit of excitement on his face. Looking at Chu Yi, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, you don't want the Son of Heaven to be in your place when you build the Great Altar."

As soon as Lu Bu said these words, many people present changed their expressions, as if Xun Yu and others looked at Chu Yi with a nervous look.

Although there are still some old officials in the Han Dynasty who are loyal to the emperor, even the fools can see that the people who really hold the real power above the court are all Chu Yi's subordinates.

If it's really like what Lu Bu said, if Chu Yi has a peeping heart for the position of the emperor, to be honest, the emperor really can't sit still.

Because of this, some people present looked at Chu Yi so nervously.

Chu Yi glanced at Lu Bu, shook his head and said, "How can Chu take the position of the emperor in a mere amount of time. Compared with the position of the emperor, isn't it better to live long and see the world?"

After listening to Chu Yi's words, Xun Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. As long as Chu Yi is not eyeing the emperor's seat, they don't have to bear psychological guilt and stand between Chu Yi and the emperor. Embarrassed.

But soon everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Chu Yi in amazement. Even Jia Xu, who had always been calm and taciturn, couldn't help shaking his hands. He ripped off a few beards and his eyes were wide open in disbelief. Staring at Chu Yi, as if to determine whether Chu Yi said something big.

"Your Highness, are you kidding us?"

The wine gourd in Guo Jia's hand couldn't help but shake it slightly and spilled a few drops of wine. The aroma of the wine filled the air, and Guo Jia subconsciously said to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi just smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think that Chu is joking with you?"

Saying that, Chu Yi stared at everyone and said, "Chu can tell you for sure that Chu built the Great Altar to the Sky just to lead everyone to pursue longevity and live happily in the world."

Taking a deep breath, the group of people who came back to their senses looked at each other, and heard one person say: "Your Highness, you should know that in the Ancestral Dragon's battle against the sky, after the first battle, there was a shortage of heaven and earth, and since then there will be no longevity. Even cultivators have their lifespan greatly reduced. Not only scribes such as me, but even military generals have a rare long lifespan under normal circumstances. Even those who pursue the way of longevity can only rely on their practice. The law reluctantly prolongs the lifespan, as for wanting to live forever, after the First Emperor conquered the sky, there will be no one who will live forever in the world..."

This is the consensus of everyone in the world. After all, for so many years, those who want to pursue longevity are like crucian carp crossing the river, and even a supreme emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has tried to pursue longevity and cannot get it, let alone These people are.

Over time, longevity has become a legend, only exists in various ancient books, but there are no people who have longevity in the world.

Now Chu Yi actually told them to lead them all to pursue the way of longevity. Everyone just thinks that Chu Yi is standing at the top of the world and has no pursuit. Just like the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he has achieved all the martial arts skills. Peak, naturally want to live forever.

Nai He Changsheng was nothing but vain, and many people couldn't help but look a little disappointed when they looked at Chu Yi.

It can be said that the people who can appear here are the outstanding people of this era. Since they are outstanding people, they are naturally not the kind of stupid people.

Seeing that such a bright master Chu Yi actually began to pursue the ethereal way of immortality just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, how could these people not be disappointed.

"His Royal Highness the dignified King of Chu, it's nothing more than that..."

Although some people didn't say it, they had such thoughts in their hearts.

The changes in the expressions of the crowd could not be concealed from Chu Yi, Chu Yi could imagine the thoughts of these people, but he was not angry, but looked at the crowd with a smile and said, "You will definitely think that Chu is dizzy, but Chu However, someone is very sober and tells you that there is a way to longevity, not that there is no longevity as you think."

While speaking, a drop of blood essence appeared in Chu Yi's hand. As soon as this drop of blood essence appeared, many people stared at the drop of blood essence, and some people couldn't help but flicker in their eyes. A bit of horror and greed.

The incomparably rich vitality came from the drop of blood essence in Chu Yi's hand. As long as he was not a fool, he could feel it. As long as he could swallow that drop of blood essence, Changsheng would not dare to say, at least he could live another life in his twilight years.

Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and other few people looked calm, even when the drop of blood essence appeared in Chu Yi's hand, they were all stunned for a moment.

After all, compared to other people, several people had seen the blood essence, and even Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu had personally experienced the power of the blood essence, and they were naturally very convinced of Chu Yi.

"This...how is this possible, how can there be such a strong blood essence in this world, and the owner of this essence and blood is probably not a person of longevity?"

Just a drop of blood essence contains such a strong vitality, then even if the owner of this blood essence is not an immortal person, I am afraid that it is also a longevity existence.
