Chapter 990: Cao Cao dies

Historically, the talents of the late Shu Han Dynasty withered, and Jiang Wei almost carried the Shu Kingdom by himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai can be said to be the top talents in the late Three Kingdoms, Chen Xu has already taken Deng Ai into his pocket, and when he sees Jiang Wei again today, he is naturally overjoyed.

After talking with Jiang Wei, Chen Xu found that although Jiang Wei was young, he was also proficient in military affairs, and he was even more happy.

It's just that Chen Xu's body was very weak because he was assassinated, and he felt dizzy after chatting for a while.

"If it weren't for Avi's righteous action today, I am afraid that the thieves will succeed in their treacherous schemes, I will watch Avi Po pass through the military affairs, and he will take him to me for a temporary position as a pro-soldier in the future, are you willing?"

When Chen Tai and Cheng Wu heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly gave Jiang Wei a look.

Jiang Wei may not know the twists and turns, but Chen Tai and Cheng Wu know very well, and whenever their own lord takes a fancy to someone, he will take him with him and let him act as a personal soldier.

After a period of training, the commander of the army will be delegated.

It can be said that almost all the people who have been cultivated by Chen Xu are now almost all famous generals.

Therefore, when they heard that Chen Xu wanted Jiang Wei to serve as a personal soldier, the two of them would be happy for Jiang Wei, and naturally they were worried that Jiang Wei would miss the opportunity, so they frequently looked at each other.

Jiang Wei is a person with abnormal intelligence, and after seeing the movements of the two, he knew that there was something greasy in them.

He didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "I wish to smear the liver and brain of the Lord on the ground!" ”

Chen Xu had a bright smile on his face, but he also had a tiredness that he couldn't hide.

He asked Jiang Wei to get up, and then said to Chen Tai: "I know that Atai is obsessed with military affairs, and he will follow me as a personal soldier in the future." ”

"After you've been trained for a while, then lead the army alone."

For his own nephew, Chen Xu naturally wants to cultivate more, and is willing to let him hold real power.

Chen Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, but he said in a while: "Although my uncle has good intentions, my family has never wanted me to lead the troops. ”

For Chen Qun, Chen Tai was still a little afraid, but he didn't agree to come down immediately.

After all, he is not like others, and in the face of Chen Xu, his uncle of his own clan, he will not be too restrained, and he will say anything directly.

Chen Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, I will naturally talk to my brother about this matter." ”

Chen Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then my nephew will thank my uncle a lot." ”

Chen Xu bowed slightly, then looked at Cheng Wu, and said, "Boqing is good at strategy, so I will follow Zhongde in the future and share more worries about your father." ”

"Zhongde is now older, as his eldest son, you will definitely inherit his position in the future, I hope you will not live up to the high expectations of me and Zhongde."

Cheng Wu hurriedly thanked him when he heard this: "Thank you for the cultivation of the lord, Wu Dingran will not live up to the lord's high expectations." ”

Chen Xu's words can be regarded as a promise.

Don't look at Cheng Yu's current high position, but once Cheng Yu dies, the Cheng family may not always be prominent.

It's just that Chen Xu actually said this, which is implying that Cheng Wu will let Cheng Wu take over Cheng Yu's position in the future.

With this guarantee, the Cheng family will be very prominent within at least two generations, and if the descendants can continue the glory of the family, the Cheng family is likely to develop into a big family.

It was only at this time that Jiang Wei knew the identities of Chen Tai and Cheng Wu, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect that one of these two scholars who met in Pingshui would be Chen Xu's nephew, and the other was the son of Cheng Yu, who held the real power in Guanzhong.

"What a blessing to meet them today!"

Chen Xu felt more and more tired, so he waved his hand to let everyone leave, and then began to rest.

He didn't know that the three people in front of him would become the pillars of Great Qin in the future, and the 'Three Uncles of Great Qin' would also become a beautiful talk.

It turned out that Cheng Wu was named Boqing, Chen Tai was called Xuanbo, and Jiang Wei was also taken by Chen Xu in the future.

Since there is a word 'Bo' in the table of the three people, this will be called the three Bo.

For several days in a row, there was a lot of rumors in Chang'an City, and under Li Ru's plan, many people were arrested for the crime of treason, and the heads were rolling.

Not only that, but even the families of these people were implicated, making the entire Guanzhong bloody.

After the Great Purge, there was no longer any opposition to Chen Xu in the court, and the imperial power had weakened to an unparalleled situation.

During this period, there were reports from local officials, claiming that auspicious luck was produced everywhere, which must be a good omen.

The officials of the DPRK and China added fuel to the fire, claiming that Chen Xu was destined to return, and kept writing to ask Chen Xu to ascend the throne and become emperor, and as time passed, this trend became more and more turbulent.

As for Liu Feng, the Son of Heaven, he stayed in the palace every day, and he couldn't stay in fear all day.

He knew that if Chen Xu really had the intention to usurp the throne, no one would be able to stop him, and maybe the centuries-old Han Dynasty would be destroyed in his own hands.

On this day, when Liu Fengzheng was worried, someone suddenly came to report, saying that the King of Qin asked to see him.

Liu Feng was shocked when he heard this, and secretly thought: "Could it be that Chen Xu came here this time to force me to abdicate?" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Feng suddenly felt grief in his heart, but he was afraid of Chen Xu's might, he didn't dare not see it, so he had to go out to greet him.

"Minister, I've seen the lord!"

Chen Xu was given Jiuxi, so he naturally had the right not to bow down when he saw the Son of Heaven, but just bowed slightly.

Rao was like this, Liu Feng didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I heard that King Qin was assassinated, and his injuries are better?" ”

Chen Xu said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for worrying, the minister's health is fine." ”

Liu Feng said: "King Qin is the pillar of the country, fortunately you didn't have an accident, otherwise the country will be **** again, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Liu Feng's words are not entirely hypocritical.

If something really happens to Chen Xu, I'm afraid that Chen Xu's cronies under the rage will dare to kill him, the son of heaven, and the world will really be in chaos at that time.

In fact, Liu Feng didn't know about the actions of Liu Wen and others, and after the incident, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

For Liu Feng, Chen Xu is actually quite satisfied.

At least Liu Feng knew what position he was in, and he also knew that Chen Xu's power was unshakable and he had always acted as a qualified puppet.

"Recently, there have been some big rumors outside, have you ever heard of it?"

When Liu Feng heard this, his face turned pale, and he secretly thought, "Is it finally coming?" ”

Although he has always acted as a puppet, he doesn't want to see the Han Dynasty lost in his own hands, so thinking that Chen Xu might come to force the palace, tears suddenly couldn't help but flow.

Seeing this, Chen Xu's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Your Majesty is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and it is also an example for the people of the world, what kind of system does crying and crying become!" ”

Liu Feng hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "It's me who lost my temper." ”

Looking at Liu Feng's appearance, Chen Xu also felt a little unbearable in his heart, and then sighed: "During this time, rumors have spread outside, and Your Majesty's heart must be under great pressure. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xu paused, and then said: "The minister also knows that many people think that I, Chen Xu, have bad intentions, but I can think that Your Majesty guarantees that as long as Chen Xu lives for one day, Dahan Jiangshan will definitely not change his surname!" ”

Chen Xu's words were sonorous, which made Liu Feng's heart tremble, and he raised his head and looked at Chen Xu incredulously.

Even if Liu Feng has always been a puppet, he does not want to become the king of the fallen country, and he also longs for the general Chen Xu to be really loyal to the Han family, and after sweeping the world, he can hand over the power in his hands.

Although these are unattainable extravagant hopes, Liu Feng hopes for a miracle.

Today, hearing Chen Xu's sonorous and powerful assurance, he suddenly had a feeling of tears in his eyes.

"Perhaps, the general is really loyal to the Han family."

Taking in Liu Feng's performance, Chen Xu said in a deep voice: "The minister was injured some time ago, and many things are inconvenient to deal with, which caused rumors to fly all over the sky. ”

"From today onwards, the ministers will issue a decree that those who dare to spread rumors and cause trouble will be killed."

"Your Majesty, please remember the promise of the minister today, as long as I, Chen Xu, do not die one day, the Han will always exist!"

After speaking, Chen Xu bowed down and saluted Liu Feng, and then left the palace.

Sure enough, Chen Xu issued a decree on the same day, prohibiting everyone from discussing things that were rebellious, and warned his subordinates.

Everyone created public opinion this time in order to test Chen Xu's attitude, and seeing that he did not have the slightest intention of abolishing the emperor and becoming self-reliant, he immediately did not dare to continue to make a mistake.

For a time, this huge turmoil was easily eliminated.

Since then, Liu Feng, the son of heaven, has greatly changed his attitude towards Chen Xu, and he actually began to take the initiative to cooperate with Chen Xu to issue various decrees.

Because he knew that whether the Han River could survive or not was in Chen Xu's thoughts.

In the mansion of King Qin, Chen Xu sat opposite an old man, and the two played against each other under the big tree in the courtyard.

"Smack!"

Cheng Yu dropped a sunspot and directly slaughtered one of Chen Xu's big dragons.

"I'm losing again."

The game was lost, but Chen Xu was not frustrated at all, but had a smile on his face.

Cheng Yu slowly put away the chess pieces, but said slowly: "The lord defeated the alliance of the princes, and even captured Youzhou and Jingzhou, and also swept away the rest of the forces in the court. ”

"The lord's prestige is now in full swing, and it is a good time to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, why should he refuse the kindness of the ministers and make everyone feel cold?"

After being silent for a long time, Chen Xu said: "The princes have not been destroyed, and it is too early to call themselves emperors now." ”

Cheng Yu thought for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Chen Xu is now the emperor, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the overall calculation is five or five points.

It's just that personally, Cheng Yu still hopes that Chen Xu will be the emperor, because Cheng Yu is too old, and he wants to witness his lord's achievements in the emperor's business.

However, Chen Xu is a monarch, since he insists on not being the emperor now, Cheng Yu can't say much.

seemed to see what Cheng Yu was thinking, but Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said: "There is another reason why I didn't claim the title of emperor, that is, I swore to the sky that I would never stand on behalf of the Han in my lifetime." ”

Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "When did the lord make an oath?" ”

Chen Xu sighed and said: "When I was trapped in the valley, the mouth of the valley had been blocked, and the fire in the valley was pervasive, and I thought that my life would be short. ”

"And because of Zhuge Liang, I made an oath, and then I thought back again and again, and I also felt that this was the will of heaven?"

"What's more, the original ideal of fighting the world alone was just to be able to survive in troubled times and make the people live a better life."

"Lone's ideal has been realized, is it really that important to call yourself an emperor?"

Cheng Yu sighed: "Just ask how many people in the world are as open-minded as the lord?" ”

After experiencing a big war and taking Youzhou and Jingzhou, Chen Xu also began to recuperate.

At the same time, the same is true of the rest of the princes, who have consumed too much money and food after three years of war, and now none of them have the strength to wage war.

Even if Yuan Tan lost Youzhou and was resentful in his heart, after being defeated by Zhang Liao, he never dared to raise troops again.

Time passed slowly, and after another year of development, Youzhou and Jingzhou were also initially controlled by Chen Xu, but this control was still a little weak.

After all, the Yuan family and Liu Bei have been running these two states for a long time, and it is not easy for Chen Xu to completely convert the people to their hearts.

In recent years, the people of Guanzhong, who had been displaced by the war, have also returned to their hometowns, and with the help of the government, they have begun to rebuild their homes.

Rao has the help of the government, and these people have not yet been fully settled.

In that war, the consumption in Guanzhong was too great, and it almost hurt its vitality, and it would take a few years of development to be completely stable.

In the spring of 220 AD, Cao Cao died of illness in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, succeeded him as the new lord of Xuzhou.

Before Cao Cao died, he entrusted Guo Jia, and Cao Ang also obeyed Cao Cao's orders and reused Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu and others.

Not only that, but the Cao family and the Xiahou family also have many talents, such as Cao Ang's three younger brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou Ba, etc., all of whom are handsome in the world.

Different from Cao Pi's meanness in history, Cao Ang treated his people very favorably, and also received the full support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao died, there was no civil strife in Xuzhou.

……

In the quiet mountain forest, Guo Jia carried a wine jug and came to Cao Cao's tombstone alone, and then sat on the ground regardless of his image.

Guo Jia took out two cups, put them on the ground, and filled them with wine.

Looking at the tombstone in front of him, Guo Jia felt a little blocked in his heart, he took the wine glass and drank it all, and then spilled another glass of wine in front of the tombstone.

"The lord knows that Jia likes to drink, and he used to accompany Jia to drink, but since the lord's health began to be poor, you and I have never drunk bitterly."

"Today, Jia is here and the lord is not drunk and does not return."

Thinking of the picture with Cao Cao in the past, Guo Jia's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he drank wine one by one, without stopping at all.

I don't know how long it took for a long time, Guo Jia fell drunk and lay on the ground, but he still muttered: "Youjia is here, Chen Wenzhao wants to covet Xuzhou." ”

Prior to this, Xu Chu cried directly because of Cao Cao's death, crying blood and tears in his eyes, and fainted several times.

Although Xu Chu's mood is stable now, he can't afford to be sick, Cao Ang misses Xu Chu's loyalty and goes to visit Xu Chu every day.
