The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Once the cannon of the Dragon Army came out, the whole world was shocked.The news of Hulao Pass spread all over the country within three days.Sun Quan, who was far away in Jianye, was on pins and needles when he found out.Immediately convene everyone to discuss.In order not to cause trouble for himself, Sun Quan ignored everyone's opposition and immediately withdrew Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and others who attacked Xuzhou.At the same time, Yu Fan was sent to Xiangyang to show his favor to the Tianlong Empire.

Compared to Sun Quan, Cao Cao was so worried that he couldn't sleep.The headache that hadn't occurred for a long time came unexpectedly again, and the pain made him wish he could chop off his head.Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Cao Pi and other confidant ministers were all guarding outside the door, waiting for Cao Cao to summon him at any time.

Of the three standing outside the door, Dong Zhao has always advocated retreating to Hebei, Cao Pi is a tough main fighter, and Cheng Yu keeps silent and is neutral.These three people represent Cao Wei's three attitudes towards the Dragon Army's attack.In the past, Dong Zhao was regarded as an outlier. After the Hulaoguan shelling incident, the voice of the main combat faction weakened in an instant.No one dared to bring up the matter of fighting again, since Long Fei had such powerful weapons, the land of Henan would definitely not be able to defend.At present, I can only pray that Long Fei will not cross the river.

"Sir, what do you think about Jin and Jiang Ji's joint recommendation of Sima Yi as the governor?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Cao Pi first asked Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao shook his head: "Sima Yi is a vicious person, and he hates Long Fei to the bone. If he becomes the governor, he will definitely drag our country of Wei into the flames of war!"

"But there are also people who say that Sima Yi is highly intelligent. If he is the governor, it is the only way out for our country of Wei, and only he can stop Long Fei." Cao Pi seemed to appreciate Sima Yi very much.

Dong Zhao glanced at Cao Pi: "Did the prince already get Sima Yi's promise? I would like to advise the prince, the farther away from this Sima Yi, the better, this person is ominous!"

"Hehehe!" Cao Pi quickly waved his hand: "Mr. misunderstood, as a courtier, it is a big taboo to make friends with foreign officials. I still know this, and I just heard it."

"Whether you heard it or not, Sima Yi's private detention with the general and others is actually a rebellion!" Dong Zhao said seriously: "He also coerces His Majesty to entrust him with important tasks, so that people who even dare to coerce the emperor must not be used, at least they cannot be given military power! "

"Heh!" Cheng Yu laughed for the first time, and even laughed aloud: "I'm afraid we can't help it now, Sima Yi is far away in the tiger prison, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the commander-in-chief of the governor Yu Jin, who can be dispatched at any time Soldiers and horses have already raised tigers, as long as they don’t eat people, that’s all, no one can control us now!”

The three of them were talking about Sima Yi when the servant came out from the door: "Prince, my lords, Your Majesty is awake, please come in and talk."

Cao Cao was lying on his side on the couch, his whole body was thinner, his complexion was burnt yellow, and Cao Cao, whose head was tossing, was miserable.Several maids and servants were waiting on the side, and the three of them saluted Cao Cao.With a wave of Cao Cao's hand, the servants and maids got up and left quickly. Cao Pi sat behind Cao Cao in good time and helped Cao Cao up.Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi and felt relieved.

When Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, he hesitated to make a crown prince.A few seats, the eldest Cao Ang is dead, the third Cao Zhi is quite talented, the fourth Cao Zhang is very brave, and the youngest Cao Chong is the most intelligent.Cao Cao originally wanted to establish Cao Chong, but Cao Chong died inexplicably before he announced it.He also wanted to set up Cao Zhi and asked his advisers.Others didn't dare to say much, only Dong Zhao said something to show Cao Cao what happened to Yuan Shao.

One sentence awakens Cao Cao, Cao Pi is the clearest father, cruel and ruthless, and the city is extremely deep.If Cao Pi is not established, the disaster of Xiao Qiang is inevitable.It can be said that Cao Pi's crown prince has a contribution from Dong Zhao.Cao Pi would also come to things. After becoming the prince, he worked hard, treated Cao Cao with kindness and filial piety, and had a very harmonious relationship with his younger brothers, which made Cao Cao feel relieved.

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Long Fei's weapons are too sharp. I am worried that there is no one in the world who can match Long Fei. Now that Long Fei is going after us because of Sima Yi's assassination, I don't know if Hulaoguan can hold on." How long! Zhongde, how about the withdrawal of troops from Henan?"

Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Most of them have been withdrawn, and some soldiers and horses have not been withdrawn. It will take another month!"

Cao Cao held his forehead with one hand: "Jiang Ji was detained in Hulao, and Liu Ye has no news. I don't know if we can hold on for another month."

"Father, don't worry, my sister is from our Cao family. Liu Ye is also loyal to my father, so I should be able to persuade my sister to dissuade Long Fei." Cao Pi hurriedly beat Cao Cao's legs and rubbed his back.

Dong Zhaodao: "Your Majesty, how do you think Sima Yi should be dealt with?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "If Sima Yi can stop Long Fei for a month, it's okay for the governor to let him do it. Sima Yi is also a talent, but he's just a bit cruel. If he can make good use of it, he will be one of our talents." A sharp weapon! Tomorrow Pier can go to Hulao Pass to condolence Sima Yi, and at the same time let Sima Yi release Yu Jin and them. The troops from Henan need to be reorganized when they return to Hebei. Uncle Xiahou and Cao Hong are no longer available.”

"No! I've made a note, my child!" Cao Pi quickly agreed.

Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao didn't say anything.They knew that this was Cao Cao's prestige to his son again, and it was also for Cao Pi to win over Sima Yi, paving the way for Cao Pi's future succession.Several people discussed for a long time, but still pinned their hopes on Cao Jie and Sima Yi.When leaving Cao Cao's bedroom, Dong Zhao asked Cheng Yu: "Lord Situ, is our country of Wei about to perish?"

Cheng Yu smiled faintly: "Death is impossible. Don't Mr. Dong feel that he hasn't seen Sima Lang and Sima Fu brothers in the past few days?"

Dong Zhao was taken aback, looked at Cheng Yu, and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty really wants to..." Before Dong Zhao could finish speaking, Cheng Yu nodded heavily: "As long as we don't have the strength to deal with Long Fei, we can also cure Long Fei." It’s a good idea, I hope it will be useful.”

"Confused, Your Majesty is so confused!" Dong Zhao turned around and was about to go back to the bedroom: "I'm going to find His Majesty right away. This plan is absolutely unworkable. Doing so will not stop Long Fei, it will completely destroy the Wei Kingdom!"

Cheng Yu stopped him, shook his head, and said, "It's too late. I heard that Sima Lang and Sima Fu have already set off for several days, so I'm afraid they've already arrived. If there are no accidents, the matter should have already started."

"Hey!" Dong Zhao sighed heavily, feeling very helpless.

For three consecutive days at Hulao Pass, Long Fei was testing his cannon.Fortunately, nothing happened again, and all kinds of shells were supposed to go to Hulaoguan.Hulaoguan's city wall could withstand such a toss, and a large part of it has collapsed.However, the dragon army did not make a surprise attack from here, and continued to bombard it with cannons.No more soldiers dare to stand on the city wall.Sima Yi ordered all the soldiers to enter the house in the city.As soon as the gunfire stops, we will fight immediately.

Sima Zhao felt frustrated. In terms of resourcefulness and the way of defending the city, he can guarantee that he will never lose to anyone, even Long Fei is not afraid.But this disparity in force cannot be made up by intelligence.He watched helplessly as the city wall was blown down and his soldiers were killed by others, but there was nothing he could do.Of course, they have also tried many methods, such as shields, such as dirt bags.Under the bombardment of this shell, it is vulnerable to a single blow, and any protection will be useless.

"Father, this Hulao can't be guarded anymore, shall we return to Hebei?" Sima Zhao said in frustration.

Sima Yi shook his head: "It's not the time yet, wait another two days."

Of course Sima Zhao knew what Sima Yi was waiting for, and he waited for news from Yecheng.If Cao Cao acquiesced to him as the governor, it would be nothing to return to Hebei. If Cao Cao blamed himself, returning to Hebei would be tantamount to throwing himself at Luo.After three days of hard work, the cannonade outside the city finally stopped.Under the command of the general, the Wei soldiers who had been hiding for a long time returned to the city wall tremblingly.

Looking at the huge cannon barrels below the city, everyone was afraid and unwilling to put themselves in front of the cannons.As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared on the city wall, some places were overcrowded, and some places were not at all.No matter how the captain, captain, and school lieutenant drove them away, the soldiers were unwilling to stand directly in front of the cannon.

Long Fei is playing, playing the game of cat and mouse, Hulaoguan is already delicious, so eat it slowly.Suppressing the urge of the generals to rush in, Long Fei began to modify his cannon and was not in a hurry to attack.He wants to use the deterrent power of cannons to scare the whole Wei State and even the whole world.

When Cao Pi came to Hulao Pass, it happened to be the end of the artillery battle.Under the leadership of Sima Yi and his son, Cao Pi wore the clothes of soldiers and went up to the city tower. Looking at the huge guys below the city, he was very curious: "What Zhongda is talking about is taking things? Is it really that powerful?"

Sima Zhao smiled: "The crown prince came a bit late, and he would have known how powerful that thing is one day earlier! Do you want Long Fei to perform for the crown prince?"

Cao Pi waved his hands again and again, he could already see the sharpness of Long Fei's weapon from the situation in the city.He didn't want to touch this bad head, and said: "This is to deliver a decree, not to observe. Emperor Father hopes that Governor Sima will stay at Hulao Pass for a month, and at the same time, he hopes that Governor Yu Jin and others will be transferred back to Hebei. The land of Hebei needs generals." , My uncles have been tormented by Long Fei, so I can only rely on Yu Jin and others."

"Governor?" Sima Zhao said with joy on his face, "The prince means that His Majesty has approved my father's memorial to serve as the Great Governor?"

Cao Pi nodded, took out the imperial decree from his bosom, read it without reading it, and handed it to Sima Yi: "This is the imperial decree. The fuze of the governor is already in your hands, so let's discard these red tapes. From today onwards, Mr. Sima is my Wei State." Commander of the three armies against Long Fei."

After Cao Pi said a lot of words of encouragement and comfort, he left Hulao Pass and returned to Yecheng with everyone detained by Sima Yi.Looking at the back of the group, Sima Zhao said: "Father, do we really want to serve as a shield for Cao Wei? Hulao Pass can no longer be defended, and Long Fei can attack at any time!"

Sima Yi looked at Sima Zhao: "Father told you that we were waiting, but now that it's over, why stay here? Immediately order all the soldiers and horses to sneak out of the city tonight, and we will return to Hebei."
