The next day, a glimmer of light appeared.

The sound of bells and drums echoed continuously, and a court meeting was held solemnly.

Cao Cao, wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown, exudes his domineering aura.

He sat on the dragon throne, overlooking the world, with no light in his eyes.

Below the jade steps, several court officials were scattered around.

By now, Qin’s generals have long been gone.

There are only a few officials left in Chengdu.

At this moment, only a few people can attend the court meeting.

“Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you…”

All the ministers shouted “Long live the emperor” and knelt on the ground.

Cao Cao gazed at his ministers, his ears filled with shouts.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and then he burst into laughter.

Below the stairs, Huang Quan and other ministers shook their heads and sighed.

“Your Majesty, have you lost your confidence?”

“Is my Great Qin already saved?”

Huang Quan asked himself.

Sitting at the table, Cao Cao’s laughter suddenly stopped.

At this moment, his eyes were already sad, as if he was about to say goodbye to the world.

“You all may leave, Gong Heng stay!”

Cao Cao waved his hand.

The ministers sighed and retreated.

“Your Majesty, why did you keep me here?”

Huang Quan asked, bowing.

He looked uneasy, sensing that Cao Cao had an important decision to make.

“Gong Heng!”

“There are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, ready to attack.”

“There are only a few thousand soldiers in the city, how can we defend it?”

“The city will fall in a matter of days.”

“I am the Son of Heaven, and I must live and die with the capital, but you cannot.”

“I want you to assist the Crown Prince and protect my last kingdom.”

Say it.

Cao Cao stood up and bowed to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan was shocked.

Is Cao Cao crazy?
Cao Pi was disloyal and unrighteous, and was a sinner of the Cao family.

But Cao Cao wants me to go to Nanzhong to assist Cao Pi?

Isn’t this crazy?

“Although Cao Pi is hateful, he is my only remaining son.”

“Although he is unfilial, he is the only hope of our Great Qin.”

“I may not have a rebellious son, but the Qin Dynasty must not be extinct.”

“I am the ruler of the Qin State, so I cannot do this…”

Cao Cao was helpless and expressed his helplessness.

After hearing this, Huang Quan suddenly understood.

He also knew Cao Cao’s good intentions.

In the end, in order to protect the Qin country, Cao Cao chose to forgive Cao Pi.

then.

Huang Quan shook his head, sighed and bowed:

“Your Majesty, I will do my best to repay your kindness.”

“I will assist the Crown Prince and revive our Great Qin!”

Say it.

Huang Quan knelt down and bowed.

Cao Cao waved his hands and closed his eyes.

This move was a farewell to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan wiped his tears and turned to leave.

When leaving.

Huang Quan recalled something and turned back and said:

“Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince went to Nanzhong, he may not have asked Meng Huo for help.”

“Perhaps Meng Huo will lead his army north to rescue Chengdu?”

“There is still hope, Your Majesty!”

Huang Quan did not want Cao Cao to give up, so he drew a beautiful blueprint for him.

Cao Cao’s body trembled, as if he saw hope.

Then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

“You are right. I am not hopeless.”

“The prince may not really be heartless and unfilial.”

“I will do my best to defend the city and wait for Pi’er’s reinforcements!”

“I will not let the big-eared thief take over my capital!”

Seeing this, Huang Quan felt relieved.

So he bowed deeply again.

Then turned and left.

Cao Cao walked down the steps to the outside of the hall and looked towards the north.

If he saw that the Han army had already formed up, he would raze the city to the ground.

“Big-eared thief, let your horses attack!”

“Even if you only have one soldier, I will fight you to the death!”

The next day.

Hundreds of thousands of Han troops rushed to the city.

Liu Bei ordered the city of Chengdu to be surrounded like an iron wall.

Chengdu North.

Liu Bei immediately held his sword in his hand and stood side by side with Xiao Fang.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at the city defenses.

“Cao Cao, have you sealed the city gates?”

Liu Bei pointed at the city gate with a strange look on his face.

Everyone looked and saw that the city gate was sealed.

The closure of the city gates cut off all communication.

Is Chengdu an isolated city?

“Cao thief, you must defend to the death.”

“He will live and die with Chengdu!”

Xiao Fang revealed Cao Cao’s thoughts.

Liu Bei was shocked and suddenly realized.

After silence.

Liu Bei smiled.

Cao Cao held out, just as he wished. In this way, he could annihilate Cao Cao in the city.

After Cao Cao’s death, the Qin Dynasty collapsed.

As for Cao Pi, he was just a young boy.

Even if he escapes to the South and becomes emperor, he is still a clown.

It can be killed with a snap of the fingers!

Liu Bei said sternly:
“Order all the troops to attack Chengdu fiercely.”

“Chengdu must be razed to the ground!”

“I want the head of Cao the thief!”

The fighting spirit of the Han army was instantly ignited.

They shouted and whooped.

The next day.

The siege begins.

Hundreds of thousands of Han troops were divided into several routes and faced several gates of Chengdu.

Then launch a fierce attack.

Every moment, huge rocks fall from the sky above Chengdu City.

Every moment, arrows were flying over Chengdu City.

At every moment, countless soldiers rushed towards the city walls.

At every moment, the city walls were densely packed with Han soldiers.

Several days in a row.

Thousands of Han soldiers were killed or wounded.

However, Chengdu remained unscathed.

The Qin imperial capital, with nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses, still held on.

Unfortunately, this was just Cao Cao’s last struggle.

…

It’s dusk.

The Han army’s fierce attack has come to an end.

Countless Han soldiers retreated.

On top of the city.

The surviving Qin soldiers collapsed to the ground, feeling relieved.

Cao Cao also staggered and fell to the ground.

Everyone escaped again.

After a long time.

Cao Cao stood up and looked at the retreating Han army outside the city.

“Liu Bei, you know how powerful I am, right?”

“However many of you come, I will kill them all!”

“Hahaha–“

Cao Cao laughed and mocked Liu Bei.

Subsequently.

Cao Cao turned to Xu Huang and praised:
“Gongming, you suggested sealing all the gates, that’s brilliant.”

“In this critical moment, I still rely on you.”

Cao Cao praised him highly.

At this point, all of Qin’s generals had died.

Xu Huang was his only remaining general.

Xu Huang bowed and said with emotion:

“I will fight to the death and defend the capital for Your Majesty!”

Look at Xu Huang.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face.

So far, many Qin officials have either surrendered to Liu Bei or joined Cao Pi.

Only Xu Huang is the best general of the Qin Dynasty.

Choose to stay and live and die with him.

How could Cao Cao not be moved by such loyalty?
“it is good!”

“With you here, I have nothing to fear!”

Cao Cao shouted generously.

Subsequently.

Cao Cao shouted:

“Send the order, get some wine and meat to reward the soldiers!”

At this time, Cao Cao no longer had the capital to make his soldiers fight for him.

You can only buy people’s hearts with wine and meat.

Chengdu is the capital of Qin after all.

There is innumerable amount of wine, meat and food in the city.

then.

Wine and meat were rewarded to the Qin army soldiers.

The Qin soldiers were given wine and meat, and their morale was boosted.

“His Majesty!”

“Although there is plenty of food and grass in the city, there are also many soldiers and generals.”

“I don’t know when the siege of Chengdu will be lifted.”

“I think we should save some money.”

Huang Quan advised.

Cao Cao frowned.

“Gong Heng’s words make sense.”

“I think we should not waste money.”

Xu Huang agreed.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, then waved his hand helplessly:
“Since you all advise me, I will listen.”

The two men immediately praised Cao Cao.

into the night.

Golden Temple.

Cao Cao summoned Xu Huang again.

When Xu Huang stepped into the hall, the aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

There was a banquet table set up in the hall.

Cao Cao smiled and asked Xu Huang to take a seat.

Xu Huang was confused.

Half an hour ago, they advised Cao Cao to live frugally.

In a blink of an eye, Cao Cao set up a banquet.

what’s the situation?
“Xu Qing, you are the number one general in my Great Qin!”

“Whether Chengdu can be defended or not, the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty all depends on you!”

“I suffer, but no one can make you suffer!”

“I’ll prepare this banquet for you!”

Cao Cao said with a smile, pouring a glass of wine for Xu Huang. (End of this chapter)
