Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 556 Total collapse!

Cao Pi was defeated!

Zhang He died in battle!

Yongning County fell and Luoyang was in danger!

This is the time of total collapse!
Everything...seems to be about to end...

Everyone was extremely worried, worrying about Cao Pi's situation and the war outside.

I just felt that His Majesty was going to die...and the Han army was about to attack Yecheng.

People were in a panic, and everyone felt that a disaster was about to happen!

...

Cao Pi's illness was indeed quite serious.

The condition became increasingly serious, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless and no medicine was effective.

In the palace, any minister who had met Cao Pi, no matter how optimistic they were before, would have a good face once they left the palace.

Cao Pi’s face...is really terrible!
His face was as pale as paper, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his eyes were sunken, as if he was being dragged into an endless abyss by an invisible pressure.

Lying on the couch, his breathing was rapid and weak, occasionally uttering a low groan or two, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy in his dream.

Especially when you go there at night... you can even feel the candlelight in the palace flickering, shining on his haggard face, making him look particularly desolate.

Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and other close ministers looked even worse.

At the moment when Cao Pi was seriously injured, the battle reports from the Central Plains flew into Yecheng like snowflakes. The Wei army was retreating step by step on the battlefield, the enemy army swept in like a hurricane, and the city was lost one after another.

Luoyang…Xuchang…Qingzhou…

Xing Daorong...Guan Yu...Zhuge Liang...

All regions were lost, and the flames of war seemed to be approaching this once indestructible capital city step by step.

As for the people in Yecheng, they were not stupid either. They had already been in panic, and a suppressed fear permeated the streets and alleys.

At the market, vendors closed their stalls early, and pedestrians hurried past, whispering about the battle situation on the front line.

The powerful people in the city also began to make secret plans, and some even quietly packed up their belongings, ready to flee the city that was about to fall into war at any time.

The ministers in the palace had solemn expressions on their faces and the court was completely silent, as if even breathing had become heavy.

Cao Pi's serious illness and the unfavorable war situation were like an invisible sword hanging over everyone's head, ready to fall at any time.

The sky above Yecheng was covered with dark clouds, as if even the celestial phenomena were foreshadowing the impending disaster.

But in this atmosphere, not everyone felt heavy-hearted. There were a few who felt happy and even wanted to celebrate.

Nature…

Zhong Yao and Wei Feng are representatives among them.

At this moment in Zhong Yao's mansion, Wei Feng said excitedly: "Lord Yuan Chang, news came today that the general has already conquered Luoyang!"

"Cao Zhang is missing. He has sent Ma Chao to guard Luoyang. He has led his army south and has joined Guan Yu to attack Xuchang."

"Then Cao Ren in Xuchang...I'm afraid he can't be stopped!"

"In this way, in less than half a year, all of the Central Plains will be returned to the Han Dynasty!"

Even though Zhong Yao had known for a long time that Cao Wei would fail, he did not expect it to fail so soon!

The army was defeated like a mountain!
From the people to the battle situation, everything is wrong!
However, the closer you are to success, the more you should not get carried away.

But he said: "Today Luoyang has been captured, Xuchang is in danger, it is time for great things to happen!"

"But even at times like this... you must be more careful!"

"I sent a letter to tell Cao Pi not to return to Yecheng, telling him about Cao Zhi's death."

"Now that we are back... Cao Pi will ask about this matter sooner or later, so we should be prepared."

Wei Feng, however, was somewhat disapproving.

Cao Pi was about to die, so why should he care about Cao Zhi's death!

But he said: "Cao Pi is busy taking care of himself, so Yuan Changgong should be worried."

Zhong Yao was not so relaxed. He shook his head and said, "Cao Pi knows that the foundation of our ancestors will be lost in his hands. His injuries will be difficult to recover for a while. In this state, I am afraid he will lose his mind and become even more crazy."

"This is human nature. Even a desperate dog will jump over the wall, let alone an emperor who holds such great power."

After all these days, the two people Wei Feng admired the most were Xing Daorong and Zhong Yao.

Many of his calculations were extremely accurate in grasping the current situation. If it were me, I would have probably ruined things long ago.

Such calmness is truly admirable.

But he nodded seriously and said: "It seems that we still need to keep a low profile and not be impatient."

During these days, Wei Feng's personality finally became more stable under the guidance of Zhong Yao.

When Zhong Yao heard Wei Feng say this, his expression changed. He was no longer as serious as before. Instead, he smiled and said, "Zijing, there is no need to be like this. After all, we have received a lot of good news today."

"Now the city will be in chaos without us having to take any action. We can relax and watch the final madness of the others."

Wei Feng saw Zhong Yao laughing easily, and he also felt a little relieved.

That's true when you think about it.

The one who is anxious now is not himself, but the other powerful families.

I'm afraid they are all in panic and are trying to find some way out.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhong Yao say again: "But we can't just wait in vain, I want to go look for Gao Tanglong once."

"I heard that he went with the army and came back with Your Majesty personally. He knows the details clearly."

"So go find him and find out what the situation is."

When Wei Feng heard this, he said, “That’s right!”

If we can understand the whole situation, it will naturally help us in our actions at that time.

However, he admired him even more in his heart, thinking that Lord Yuan Chang was not only stable, but also often had amazing ideas.

This kind of thinking is really amazing...

He immediately said, "Okay, let's go find Gao Tanglong together and ask about the situation."

...

Gao Tanglong was really depressed!
Originally... all this had been planned well.

I should be fine by now and should have been lying down long ago.

But today... I still have to consider many things.

Fortunately... I surrendered to Xing Daorong a long time ago, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

As long as you don't cause trouble during this period, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So once he returned to Yecheng, Gao Tanglong claimed to be ill and did not plan to do anything.

After all, it is very peaceful.

But she didn't expect that Zhong Yao would come looking for her after just a few days of restlessness.

As for Zhong Yao... Gao Tanglong probably has some idea about it.

This person is a die-hard supporter of the Cao family!
This kind of person used to be full of vigor and vitality, but now it is different.

I am very afraid that when the Han army comes, it will be difficult to surrender or not to surrender.

If I surrender... that would damage my reputation as a loyal minister of the Cao family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to let it go.

If I don't surrender... I'm afraid I'll lose my life, and I'll die on the spot, but it won't be worth it.

Anyway...

This type of people has an awkward status now, so try to have as little contact with them as possible.

So Gao Tanglong continued to use the excuse of being sick and planned to stay indoors.

Who would have thought that Zhong Yao would force his way in, insisting on taking a look at me...
