Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 432 Return of the Hero (Second Change)

Two days later, the bodies of brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei were sent to Nanzheng. The cause of death was unknown, and there was a huge uproar. Because everyone died, many Hanzhong people showed a little bit of sadness. Although Zhang Lu is not a hero, he advocates Taoism and treats the people with benevolence. Hanzhong has been living a peaceful and peaceful life under his command. This is why, with a word from Zhang Lu, the people of Hanzhong can flee to the mountains collectively, and they can fortify the walls and clear the wilderness against Guan Yu.

In addition to the common people, the soldiers and generals in Hanzhong were also sad, and even caused conflicts with the Shu army.

After Fazheng understood the situation, he immediately suggested to Wu Yi to bury Zhang Lu generously, and even to worship in person, so as to win the hearts of Hanzhong.

Wu Yi naturally had no objection to this point. He not only agreed, but even increased the scale. Immediately, a grand funeral ceremony began in Nanzheng, and many soldiers and people went to pay respects.

Wu Yi, who was wounded, cried loudly in Zhang Lu's mourning hall, saying that although Zhang Lu hurt him, he had no intention of hurting Zhang Lu at all. The violent crying sounded like his own father had died. , Surprised everyone present.

However, this crying also reduced the complaints from Hanzhong soldiers and the people a lot, and the conflict gradually subsided.

When the funeral was over, Liu Zhang's order also came, officially canonizing Wu Yi as the prefect of Hanzhong, but at the same time, he also ordered Deng Xian and Leng Bao to lead the army to return to Shu immediately, leaving only Wu Yi's own [-] troops as left behind. Obviously , there are already people in Shuzhong who are guarding against Wu Yi.

Of course, Wu Yi was furious about such a thing, and Wu Ban was ready to rebel directly, but under Fazheng's urgent persuasion, Wu Yi just sighed, and in the end, instead of saying anything, he was full of reluctance He personally bid farewell to the army.

In Nanzheng, in the tall and grand prefect's office, under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military personnel headed by Wen Yifazheng and respected by Wu Ban, Wu Yi sat on Zhang Lu's throne step by step.

"Meet the prefect," Wen Wu immediately shouted respectfully.

"Hahaha..." Seeing this scene, Wu Yi suddenly burst out laughing loudly, and a sense of boundless arrogance suddenly surged in his heart.

So far, with Zhang Lu's death and Wu Yi's coming to power, the situation in Hanzhong has temporarily come to an end.

On the other side, Guan Yu also commanded an army of [-] troops to cross Xiliang and enter the land of Yanzhou. He rushed all the way, and within three days, he finally arrived at the gate of Changyi.

I saw here, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xu Chu, Yu Jin and others were waiting here.

"Yun Chang" looked at Guan Yu who came back, and Cao Cao shouted excitedly.

After "Sikong" Guan Yu saw it, he immediately threw the Qinglong Yanyue Saber to the soldiers on the side. After dismounting and walking a few steps, he immediately kowtowed on one knee with shame on his face and said, "Guan, you are responsible for Sikong's entrustment. Please punish Sikong."

"Get up quickly, Yunchang." Cao Cao hurriedly helped Guan Yu up, and said softly, "Yunchang is innocent, Cao Er is the guilty one. It was Cao Xiao who watched Liu Zhang, and unexpectedly he dared to send troops, almost putting Yunchang into a desperate situation."

"Sikong" Guan Yu's eyes were touched. Speaking of which, Cao Cao's love for him is no less than that of his elder brother Liu Bei. Not to mention Chituma, but this time in the Battle of Hanzhong, many generals rushed to take it, but in the end Cao Cao did give him the job just now.

"General Guan, Xiliang didn't make things difficult for you this way, did you?" Cheng Yu asked with concern.

"No, but I didn't pay special attention to it," Guan Yu said seriously.

Hearing this, Cao Cao sneered and said, "These two smart people are eager to shoot Yuan Xi's horse, so naturally they don't care about Cao's men and horses."

"General Guan, go back to the mansion and take a good rest, and then talk to Sikong about the specific situation behind Hanzhong," Xun Yu said seriously.

"promise!"

In the evening, in Sikong Mansion, Guan Yu explained the situation of the Battle of Hanzhong in detail one by one.

After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and said, "I didn't expect there to be a general like Wu Yi in Shuzhong. Cao really underestimated him before."

Xun You's expression froze, and he said, "Sikong, you have heard about this Wu Yi. Although he is talented, he probably doesn't have such ability. If this is the case, Zhang Lu won't be allowed to occupy Yizhou in the previous civil wars." wind up"

"Even what Gongda said, there is indeed a problem here. Although some people will undergo great changes once they become independent, such people are very few," Cheng Yu agreed.

Cao Cao slightly stroked the thick beard on his chin, turned his head to look at Xun Yu who was in deep thought, and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

"Think about it again, how did Zhang Song die?" Xun Yu said seriously.

Cao Cao shrank his pupils, nodded slightly, and said, "Wen Ruo is thinking of going with someone. The reason why someone is so confident about the Battle of Hanzhong is because of Zhang Song. He is a friend of Yizhou, Liu Zhang's confidant, and he has If it works, the situation in Shu will be under control, but his sudden death really made Liu Zhang make up his mind to send troops to Hanzhong, and someone must have tampered with it."

"Father, if this is the case, there are only a handful of people who can achieve this step," Cao Pi said.

"That's right, it must be Yuan Xi. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Even the people in Shu were placed there. It seems that Jingzhou's failure must be because of this!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.

"Sikong Yingming, other than that, there is no other explanation. Originally, Liu Biao's parade on Lumen Mountain was an excellent time for assassination. The killers were already prepared, but at this time, the parade was suddenly canceled. At the same time, a secret order was issued. The army strictly scrutinized the passers-by, it was obvious that someone tipped the news, which shows that Yuan Xi not only has great influence, but also has a clear understanding of our plan," Xun Yu said with a stern expression.

"Da Yan's forces are now trapped in the grasslands, he can't fight directly, so he can only delay us," Cao Pi said angrily.

"He can procrastinate, but we cannot. If this continues, the gap between the two parties will become wider and wider," Cheng Yu said in a serious tone.

"Hey, our army has nowhere to move." Cao Cao sighed.

Seeing this scene, Xun You's eyes narrowed, and he said loudly: "My lord, there are too many resourceful people under Yuan Xi's command. It is impossible to rely entirely on conspiracy and tricks. To become a hegemony, one must follow the kingly way. Doesn't Yuan Xi just think that Don’t our army dare to fight Jingzhou head-on? Then show him and let him understand that before he was born, our army has already run amok in the world. Entering Bashu, and then relying on the reputation of the emperor, you will surely be able to conquer the Great Yan in the north and complete the unification of the world."

"The world is unified," Cao Cao murmured unexpectedly, looked at Xun You with a firm expression, and smiled wryly, "Gongda, no one has said such a thing to Cao for a long time."

"My lord, our army was defeated once at Guandu, secondly at Hanzhong, thirdly at Jingzhou, and then again. At this time, there is no other way but to give it a go."

"My lord, what you lack now is not the opportunity, but the spirit. It is the invincible spirit of the past. The situation changes again, and the world is impermanent. If Fengxiao is still there, I will definitely persuade the lord like this." Xun You knelt down on one knee and bowed.

"Gongda is right. He Yuan Xibo brought out a big swallow. Why can't the lord not do it? He really sees the hesitation and hesitation of the lord. Now the lord has no other way to go. If that's the case, let's break the boat and turn him upside down. If he has the ability, he will go south." Cheng Yu clasped his fists excitedly.

"I will swear allegiance to the lord to the death." Hearing this, all the generals shouted excitedly.

"Father" Cao Pi stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "The reason why father is like this is because we fools want to leave us a way out, but if you are gone, father, there is no great cause for the Cao family. Father please give it a go"

"You..." Cao Cao's face immediately showed emotion.

"My lord, Yu will follow you to the death," Xun Yu said seriously.

"Wen Ruo," Cao Cao murmured, clenched his fists, stood up abruptly, drew his sword from the side, shouted loudly, cut the table in front of him in half with one sword, and said cruelly: " Thank you all, Cao swears today that he will never think about the peaceful king again. In this life, he vows to conquer Dayan in the north and revive the Han Dynasty."

"The lord is wise"

"Father wise"

Cao Cao pointed his long sword, and said with great vigor, "Wen Ruo, immediately arrange for someone to go to Jiangdong to meet with Sun Quan, and tell him that I am willing to form the strongest alliance with him."

"No!" Xun Yu replied loudly, with relief in his eyes, Cao Cao, who was fearless and full of fighting spirit, has returned again.
