His father Cao Cao has always refused to be the emperor, and he also inspired Cao Pi, and he must be cautious in this matter. While secretly sending people to pay close attention to the saint Liu Xie's every move, Cao Pi hurriedly won over those ministers who were loyal to the Han family.

Xiahoudun was escorted all the way back to Yecheng, and he was blind and could only rely on his hearing to visit Cao Pi and ask for punishment. But Xiahoudun knelt in the wrong direction, kowtowed a few times to Jia Xu, panicked so much that Jia Xu hurriedly dodged, accidentally stepped on his own placket, and fell on his back, the scene was a little poignant and funny, and no one could laugh.

Seeing this scene, Cao Pi burst into tears, a generation of loyal and brave ministers ended up like this because of themselves.

Cao Pi personally helped Xiahoudun up, and first made a touching and tearful self-examination, and Xiahoudun was very moved. After Cao Pi appeased him, he ordered to go down and take care of Xiahou Xuan, so that he would not have to participate in the future campaign, but he could strategize in the rear, and our Cao Ying could not do without you, General Xiahou!

Cao Ying is full of strategists, and he has never heard of a blind military general giving advice. Xiahoudun knew that this was Cao Pi's words of comfort, and thanked him.

However, as a general, not being able to go out to fight is tantamount to putting a tiger in a cage. At first, there were still people who came to the door to symbolically ask some questions, and later, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and they couldn't take care of Xiahoudun's psychological feelings.

In a sense of loneliness and desolation, Xiahoudun finally fell ill, silent and depressed all day long. Later, he simply refused to take the medicine, and whoever persuaded him, his family had to endure pain and tears and let him practice his body like this.

One day in April, a generation of famous generals Xia Houdun boiled up the last trace of energy, finally closed his loose eyelids, and died of illness at home, leaving no last words until his death.

Because Xiahoudun was indifferent to his belongings in his life, he couldn't even afford a decent funeral behind him, so he sold a few acres of thin land to buy a good coffin.

Cao Pi was even more sentimental when he heard this, and gave him the highest honor, and the spiritual position could be placed outside Cao Cao's ancestral hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials. There was an endless stream of people who went to worship Xiahoudun, and the cry shook the sky.

However, Cao Pi had not yet recovered from the grief of Xiahoudun's death, but a news came from the south that shocked him extremely that Wang Baoyu actually raised an army to attack Xiangyang.

Not only Cao Pi was surprised, but even Jia Xu felt incredible, Wang Baoyu has been running a place in Yiling, and he can't see any ambitions, and now he actually raises troops to go to war, is it possible to make the title of King of Hanxing deserved?

"Wang Baoyu, this guy deceived me too much, I swear to destroy it!" Cao Pi said angrily.

Everyone didn't speak, Xiahou Dan's 100,000 army was defeated, Wang Baoyu is not an ordinary person, it can't be solved with a big word.

"Alas, this person should not have been alarmed in the past, but now he has accepted me and surrendered his troops, and his wings are full!" Jia Xu sighed.

Cao Pi vaguely regretted in his heart, his father Cao Cao told him when he was dying, he must not be an enemy of Wang Baoyu, and as a result, he sent troops to provoke this plague god. Now it seems that his father is not only biased against Wang Baoyu, but also sees his strength and knows that he can't fight him.

Cao Pi had mixed feelings and misunderstood his father's intentions, but he just refused to say it.

"Don't worry, the king, Cao Ren is the general of the world, Xiangyang is solid, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, and Wang Baoyu will definitely be defeated!" Imperial Doctor Wang Lang said slightly.

"Definitely! Wang Baoyu is changeable in scheming and good at demon methods, and General Cao Ren may not be invincible. Jia Xu waved his hand.

"Who wants to lead an army?" Cao Pi looked around and asked.

There were a lot of generals below, and there was a lot of discussion just now, but no one squeaked when they heard Cao Pi's question. Not only because of Xiahoudun's defeat, but most of them had crossed paths with Wang Baoyu and didn't want to go to crusade against old friends.

"Why don't you speak, are you thinking of the old love or are you afraid of Wang Baoyu?" Cao Ren's face was very ugly.

"The last will go."

Xu Chu finally stood up, not too confident, but he could hear that he didn't want to take the order, or because Cao Ren's last eyes fell on him.

"In this way, General Tiger Idiot led an army of 100,000 to rescue Xiangyang, such as a great battle, and wiped out Wang Baoyu without mercy." Cao Pi ordered.

"Wechen is also willing to go all the way to give advice to General Xu." Jia Xu felt that the situation was serious, and finally decided to go to the front in person.

"Then there will be Captain Lao." Cao Pi arched his hand.

"The minister was familiar with Wang Baoyu, and he was willing to follow him, know the benefits and disadvantages, and persuade him to take the initiative to surrender." A handsome young man stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

This person is Liu Cong, Cao Pi was very happy, immediately agreed, and let Liu Cong serve as the captain of the Zanjun Academy. sighed in his heart, in the end, his father Cao Cao didn't hurt Liu Cong in vain, and he knew the return.

Jia Xu frowned, looked around, these people said that Liu Cong and Wang Baoyu were the closest, like brothers, and wanted to stop it, but when they saw that Cao Pi was on the rise, he swallowed the words in his mouth back.

Xu Chu led an army of 100,000, accompanied by Jia Xu and Liu Cong, and rushed towards Xiangyang without stopping, and Wang Baoyu at this time had already arrived at the city of Xiangyang.

"Report! Xu Chu led an army of 100,000 and was coming. A soldier in charge of picking up the news hurriedly came to report.

Wang Baoyu frowned suddenly, if this team of reinforcements arrived, not only would they not be able to capture Xiangyang, but they were afraid that Yiling would not be protected.

"Don't worry, Baoyu, it will take at least twenty days for Xu Chu to arrive, and when he arrives, Xiangyang will already belong to me." Mo Chihiro is not afraid.

"In such a short time, can you capture Xiangyang?" Wang Baoyu asked suspiciously.

"Xiangyang City's weakness is here!" Mo Qianxun held a map of Xiangyang City drawn according to Niu Jin's description, but the direction of his finger was the city gate.

"The city gate must be heavily guarded, how can it be easily breached?" Wang Baoyu was still puzzled.

"Hehe, I have a secret weapon." Mo Qianxun smiled, pulled Wang Baoyu out of the account and looked at something, which looked a bit like today's artillery.

"Haha, this should be my sister's design, right?" Wang Baoyu was interested.

"Exactly! This is a fireball cart built according to the structure of the musket in consultation with Yueying, and it is specially used to attack the city gates. Mo Qianxun said.

Wang Baoyu took a closer look, and saw that a large iron ball was placed in the structure similar to the barrel of a gun, and the ball was filled with grease, and there was a lead wire on the outside that could be ignited, and the back was to use the principle of a lever to launch the iron ball far away.

"How powerful?"

"Once this thing is shot, it can not only hit the city gate, but also ignite a fire at the city gate, at that time, I want to see how Cao Ren can defend the city gate." Mo Qianxun smiled proudly.
