The time went three hours ago.
Bai Xiaowen has led troops into Yingchuan county.
However, Xun Yu volunteered: "Lord, you don''t need to mobilize the public. I''m willing to take Cao Gong''s coffin and go to Xudu to recruit four CHILDES."
Bai Xiaowen''s first reaction was to refuse.
Xun Yu is certainly an excellent candidate, and Bai Xiaowen is willing to believe in Xun Yu.
But who knows what Xu Du''s gang think of Xun Yu? What do you think of Cao Cao''s death?
If Xun Yu is killed, Bai Xiaowen will die - Xun Yu brings him not only the benefits of all attributes + 10, but also 1 priority! Others have the ability to be good at internal affairs and improve livability, which can be effective in the long term.
Since Xun Yu mentioned it, Bai Xiaowen deliberately wouldn''t let him go, but he knew he couldn''t resist.
Seeing the worry on Bai Xiaowen''s face, Xun Yu said, "Lord, don''t worry. Xun you, the family nephew, is in Xudu. Besides, the Lord''s righteous act of releasing the fourth son of Cao is ahead, and I will never be in danger."
Bai Xiaowen held Xun Yu''s hand and said, "if you want to go, you need to agree to let me conquer Yanling pass and surround Xu Du."
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Lord, why do you do this?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "you and I have our own insistence, and that''s all I can do for you. Even if Cao Cao''s fourth son and the old department still have some crazy thoughts, their illusions should be dashed when the soldiers surround Xu Du."
Xun Yu dropped his hand and said, "the military plane event is naturally subject to the judgment of the Lord. I''ll escort Cao Gong''s coffin first."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I''ll send you."
……
A mourning hall was temporarily built in the lobby of the prime minister''s house.
The coffin Bai Xiaowen prepared for Cao Cao was of good quality. It was made of sandalwood with thick wood. There were dozens of pearls buried with him. The iron armor he wore was also wiped new. Only the heaven reliant sword was left by Bai Xiaowen himself.
In fact, the heaven leaning sword was useless, because there was no resonance of psionic particles. Bai Xiaowen waved it like a fire stick.
Bai Xiaowen can''t use it. That doesn''t mean the heaven reliant sword is useless. He can give it to the aboriginal generals under his command.
It''s a pity to bury such a sword with Cao Cao
Cao Pi and others did not care about a sword. After they saw Cao Cao''s body, bursts of crying rang out in the mourning hall.
Xun you took other officials of the prime minister''s house and asked, "why did you come here?"
Although they are uncles and nephews, they belong to two camps at this time. Naturally, they have to be business. Therefore, Xun you calls them "Lingjun", which is a polite title.
Xun Yu said, "I''d like to invite you to persuade childe Cao Pi to obey his last orders and surrender to our Lord."
A subordinate official of the prime minister''s house sneered, "what''s the face to persuade you to surrender?"
Xun Yu was silent and ignored the petty official. Instead, he said to Xun you, "now that the war has been settled, childe Cao Pi has no chance. I believe you can see it. Fighting tenaciously will only lead to more innocent souls in the underground. What''s the benefit?"
Cao Pi, dressed in hemp and filial piety, suddenly stood up and came to Xun Yu:
"Xun Lingjun, I know you surrendered to Yuan Xi because there was a secret to let Yuan Xi release our four brothers! I don''t blame you for this.
"However, as soon as my father was killed by Yuan Xi, I will bend my knees and surrender all my foundation to my enemies. What should people think of me? I would rather die in battle than lose my father''s reputation!"
Xun Yu looked directly at Cao Pi: "childe Cao Pi thought, why did Cao Gong leave this last letter before he died?"
Cao Pi lowered his head and said, "it''s to protect our Cao family."
Xun Yu said, "you only know one, not the other. Duke Cao has entrusted his ambition of unifying the world to his greatest enemy! When Duke Cao was alive, he once said to me: it is the greatest foolish act to do it knowing what not to do. I hope you will appreciate Duke Cao''s heart and live up to his painstaking intention of killing yourself with a sword!"
Suddenly, a spy horse came to report that Yuan Xi''s army had taken Yanling pass without blood and came to Xudu city. Fifty thousand troops had surrounded Xudu.
Cao Pi had some six gods and looked at Xun you.
Xun you was so clever that he saw Cao Pi''s shaking, so he asked Xun Yu, "if my Lord is willing to obey, can yuan Gongzhen save Cao''s life?"
Xun Yu said firmly, "I''d like to guarantee my life."
Xun you looked at Cao Pi and said, "Yuan Xi is still a man of benevolence and righteousness. Last time he broke Xu Du, he fulfilled his promise and put back the four CHILDES. What do you think, sir?"
Cao Pi looked at the faces of the officials in the prime minister''s house.
After hearing that Yuan Xi''s army besieged Xudu, the officials of the prime minister''s house showed panic one by one, and there was no intention of war on their faces.
At this time, Xudu had some food, but there was a shortage of soldiers and could not defend the city at all - Yuan Xi broke Xudu with 20000 troops last time.
Cao Pi shrunk his head: "this matter still needs to be discussed with his mother and brothers."
Xun you said, "since the Lord has inherited the foundation, everything can be self-determination, why ask others."
Cao Pi: "... Well, I''m willing to submit to the court."
Cao Pi emphasized obedience to the imperial court rather than yuan Xi, which can be regarded as finding a step for himself.
Subordinate Officer: "the Lord is wise!"
Cao Pi didn''t know if it was an illusion. After saying the words of obedience, the officials seemed relieved
……
Bai Xiaowen waited anxiously.
Not long after, Xu Du''s gate was opened, and there was a white flag at the head of the city.
Cao Pi led Cao family, prime minister, and official officials, holding articles such as silk ribbon, registered residence, etc., and offered them out of town.
"Success! Xun Yu did what he said!"
Bai Xiaowen repressed the excitement in his chest, came down from the back of his angry claw and helped Cao Pi up with his own hands.
Bai Xiaowen was filled with emotion when he looked at the wife Zhen Mi who captured him (Yuan Xi) in the romance and even Cao Pi who finally became emperor. He laughed down these thoughts, led the army into the city and took over Xudu city defense.
Bai Xiaowen granted Cao Pi the title of Duke of Anle Township, and the rest of Cao''s sons were granted the title of Duke of Ting.
The fief of the four was set as Yanzhou Chenliu, but the Hou house was placed in Weijun, Jizhou. In doing so, Cao''s sons can always be under the surveillance of yedU, separate from the fief, and minimize the possibility of Cao''s resurgence.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen can''t kill Cao Pi. In addition to moral factors, there are practical factors. Now the world is uncertain, and the princes rise together. If you kill those who surrender and capture the enemy in the future, you are bound to fight hard and never surrender.
At Xun Yu''s suggestion, Bai Xiaowen called on the Henan states to send Cao Cao''s death, together with the emperor''s imperial edict, and ordered the heads of counties and counties to report on their work for three days. If they do not arrive within three days, they will be regarded as disobeying the imperial edict of the emperor and the last life of Cao Cao, and will be punished by the army.
This is indeed a good means. The heads of prefectures and counties all over the country joined Xu capital one after another to show their intention to submit to the imperial court.
Among them is an old acquaintance of Bai Xiaowen, Zhong you, a Sili colonel who once intercepted him in Mengjin, the Yellow River.
Zhong you didn''t seem to have a special tendency to be loyal to anyone. When he met Bai Xiaowen, he didn''t worry at all.
Bai Xiaowen joked, "how many arrows are there in Mengjin?"
Zhong Yao replied, "at that time, there was less hatred, but at this time, there was more hatred."
Bai Xiaowen laughed, and then said in a positive tone, "public defense of the state can solve the worries of the west, enrich the population and contribute greatly to the country." he then ordered Zhong Yao to keep the festival and continue to guard the state.
Zhong Yao arched his hand and said, "at this time, there is still a problem in Si Zhou, which needs to be reported to the Lord."
