Chapter 798: Suicide in fear of sin

In fact, when crossing the Yellow River in the south, Sima Yi's first stop was Baima, but Sima Yi's primary goal was very clear, that is, Linghu Yu of Yanzhou, so after Baima crossed the Yellow River, Sima Yi instructed Sima Shi to lead troops to surround the mansion of Cao Biao, the king of Chu, and forbade anyone to come from.

On the one hand, it was to prevent the news from leaking, and someone reported the news to the outside, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Cao Biao, the king of Chu, from escaping.

As for encircling but not entering, Sima Yi had a deeper level of consideration, after all, Cao Biao, the king of Chu, was a prince and a noble king, so he naturally couldn't be moved easily without getting conclusive evidence of rebellion.

Sima Shi also strictly carried out Sima Yi's orders, and around the Chu Wangfu, there were three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, completely surrounding the Chu Wangfu.

Although the area of the Chu Wangfu is very large and the area is extremely wide, Sima Shi has mobilized tens of thousands of people, which is enough to enclose the Chu Wangfu with three layers inside and three layers outside.

In fact, there is really more than one encirclement encircled by Sima Shi, and the first line of defense is set up close to the high wall of the Chu Wangfu, which does not seem to have too many people, and this line of defense does not seem to be surrounding the Chu Wangfu, but rather like a guard for the Chu Wangfu.

But on the streets outside the Chu Palace, Sima Shi sent heavy troops to completely seal off all roads, and I am afraid that even if a mouse wants to sneak in, it will be impossible.

The Chu Wangfu was surrounded, and it almost became a shocking event, and the entire Baima people were shocked, and the status of the Chu Wangfu in the White Horse was simply supremely respected, and in anyone's eyes, it was a general existence.

But it is such a noble place, it was actually surrounded and blocked by officers and soldiers, and anyone who tried to approach the Chu Wangfu was all expelled, and no one knew what happened to the Chu Wangfu, and such a thing would happen?

However, relatively speaking, the people of the Chu Wangfu seem to know something, since the Chu Wangfu was besieged, the gate of the Chu Wangfu has been closed, and no one has walked out of the Chu Wangfu, even if they occasionally see the soldiers guarding the Wangfu on the high wall, they all look panicked and can't give up.

Sima Shi didn't care much about the attitude of the people in the Chu Palace, anyway, the order Sima Yi gave him was to surround and block the Chu Palace, not to let anyone in, and not to let anyone out, if someone dared to forcibly trespass, Sima Shi would naturally kill him on the spot, without mercy.

However, for a few days, no one dared to challenge Sima Jun's defense line, and the people outside only watched from a distance at most, and they didn't even have the heart to come to the front.

And the people of the Chu Wangfu don't even have a single outcrop, it stands to reason that the Chu Wangfu is up and down, but there are thousands of people, is the food in the palace really so sufficient, they haven't replenished it for a few days, and they don't know what they eat and drink?

When Sima Yi returned to Baima from Yanzhou City, six days had passed, Sima Yi looked at the closed gate and said to Sima Shi, "How is the situation inside?" ”

Sima Shi said truthfully: "There is no movement inside, not even a person who has left the mansion." ”

Sima Yi sighed slightly and said, "It seems that this Chu Wang Biao is still quite calm?" ”

Sima Shi said: "Father, what is the situation in Yanzhou, have you ever taken it to Linghu Yu and mastered the true evidence of Chu Wang Biao's rebellion?" ”

Sima Yi nodded slightly, and said: "Everything is relatively smooth, Ling Huyu has been captured so far, he confessed to the establishment of another new monarch to plot rebellion, and the fact that Chu Wang Biao participated in the rebellion is ironclad evidence." ”

Sima Shi was overjoyed and said: "Please give my father an order, and the child will lead the troops into the palace of the king of Chu and capture Cao Biao." ”

If it weren't for Sima Yi's order, Sima Shi might have entered the palace of the king of Chu, and now Sima Yi has brought back good news from Yanzhou, which means that Sima Shi can start immediately.

Sima Yi bowed slightly, and agreed to Sima Shi's request, anyway, this time to attack Yanzhou, Sima Yi's goal is to take down two people, Ling Huyu and Cao Biao, Ling Huyu has been caught, and now only Cao Biao is left, and taking down all of them is equivalent to cutting off Wang Ling's left arm and right arm.

When Sima Shi arrived, he immediately led the army to the gate of the palace and shouted loudly, in fact, this way of saluting first and then soldiers was just Sima Shi's routine, and Sima Shi would not believe that Cao Biao, the king of Chu, would be captured like this.

However, Sima Shi did not have the slightest doubt about taking the Chu Wangfu, after all, although the walls of the Chu Wangfu were tall, they could not be compared with the real city walls, and in the past six days, Sima Shi had made full preparations for the attack, just waiting for the news of the attack.

Sima Bing shouted a few times, Sima Shi originally thought that no one would open the door, and was about to give the order to prepare the ladder for attack, when the gate of the Chu Wangfu creaked open.

And the people in the mansion lined up to leave the house one by one like mourners, and surrendered to Sima Jun.

Sima Shi ordered these people to be captured, and asked, "Where is the king of Chu?" ”

"King of Chu...... Suicide! A steward-looking man replied.

Sima Shi suddenly understood, no wonder the people who came out of the Chu Palace's mansion were depressed one by one, it turned out that it was Cao Biao, the king of Chu, who committed suicide in fear of crime, and the expressions of these subordinates were naturally more suitable.

Sima Shi besieged the Chu Wangfu for six days, which made him a little impatient, but for Cao Biao, it was six days like a year.

The palace was suddenly surrounded by troops of unknown origin, which proves that the news has leaked.

Cao Biao, who had been appointed as the new monarch, was in contact with Ling Hu Yu through Zhang Shi, and their plan had reached the stage of substantive implementation, and Ling Hu Yu was preparing to lead his army to Xu Capital in Yuzhou, where he would hold an enthronement ceremony and announce to the world that the new monarch Cao Biao would replace Cao Fang and become the new son of Cao Wei.

This undoubtedly made the ambitious Cao Biao excited, since the beginning of planning this matter, Cao Biao has been looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to the arrival of this day, which shows how attractive this emperor is to him.

However, just when Cao Biao was preparing for the trip, suddenly, he didn't know where to kill such a group of people and horses, and surrounded the Chu Wangfu, although they had no further plans, but Cao Biao knew that he was finished, and rebellion was a first-class crime, even if you were a prince and king, it was impossible to survive, and what was waiting for him was only a dead end!

In desperation, Cao Biao could only commit suicide by drinking, he didn't want to be cut off and abandoned in the city, and if he committed suicide by taking poison, he could at least leave a whole corpse.
