Cao Cao.

The last false emperor died.

The people watching the execution cheered.

There were thunderous cheers in Chengdu city.

The people were grateful to Liu Bei and knelt down to express their gratitude.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and smiled, enjoying his people’s kneeling worship.

“When Cao Cao dies, the Qin Dynasty will fall.”

“It’s time to go back to Beijing.”

Liu Bei said this as if relieved.

A long time has passed since the troops were dispatched.

Now Cao Cao is dead and the Qin Dynasty is destroyed.

It’s time to return to Beijing and enjoy the honor of emperor.

“Your Majesty! We cannot return to the capital yet.”

Xiao Fang poured cold water on him.

Liu Bei looked back at Xiao Fang.

The generals looked at the Han Prime Minister in confusion.

Cao Cao was the last of the heroes.

Shu is the last state among all the states.

Now that Cao Cao is dead, Yizhou is returned, and the world is unified.

In this situation, why can’t we return to peace?

Everyone is puzzled.

“Cao Cao is dead, but Cao Pi is still alive!”

Cao Pi!

Liu Bei was shocked.

If Xiao Fang hadn’t mentioned it, he would have forgotten about this person.

Cao Cao died and Chengdu was destroyed.

But Cao Pi had already escaped from Chengdu and proclaimed himself Emperor of Qin.

He also formed an alliance with Meng Huo, King of Nanzhong.

Although Cao Pi’s troops were small, they are not worth mentioning.

But Meng Huo had the help of the southern barbarian soldiers.

If the two of them join forces and head north, they will definitely be able to threaten Chengdu.

This means.

If Liu Bei does not pacify Nanzhong, Yizhou will never be at peace.

“The Prime Minister is right.”

“If Cao Pi is not removed, Yizhou will not be stable.”

Liu Bei was thoughtful.

Xiao Fangyi bowed:

“So, Your Majesty, now is not the time to let your horse go.”

“Your Majesty, please go south immediately and retake Nanzhong!”

“Only in this way can the Shu land belong to the Han Dynasty!”

Liu Bei said:
“The Prime Minister’s words make sense.”

“Pass the order, the army will continue to move south and directly attack Nanzhong!”

“I want to destroy Cao Pi and take over all of Shu!”

then.

The 200,000 Han troops rested for several days.

Then, an order was given.

The army, with the momentum of a great victory, marched towards Yinan.

…

Jiangyang City.

There are barbarian camps all around.

The barbarians were coming in and out, making it quite lively.

In the mansion.

Meng Huo, King of Nanzhong, sat on the upper throne.

And Cao Pi.

The Qin Emperor could only sit there obediently.

“Cao Pi!”

“Chengdu has been besieged, and your father’s life is at stake.”

“You are just eating and drinking instead of saving your father.”

“I feel that you, as a son, have no filial piety at all.”

Meng Huo sipped his wine and made sarcastic remarks to Cao Pi.

Not only did he call Cao Pi by his name, but he also mocked Cao Pi for being unfilial.

Cao Pi said awkwardly:
“Your Majesty, you are joking. How could I be unfilial?”

“It’s because Chengdu has strong walls and abundant food.”

“With my father’s ability, he will be able to hold out for six months.”

“So, why should I be in a hurry?”

Cao Pi gave a plausible reason.

Meng Huo sneered:
“Okay, since you said you don’t want to save him, then we won’t save him.”

“It’s your father anyway, not my father.”

“His life or death has nothing to do with me.”

After hearing what Meng Huo said, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Meng Huo would lead his troops north.

In that case, with the help of the Southern Barbarian Army, it might be possible to save Chengdu and Cao Cao.

If it succeeds.

How should I face Cao Cao?

So he has to delay.

This dragged on until the capital was captured and Cao Cao was killed.

In this way, he could inherit the throne and become emperor.

Although Meng Huo despised him now, he decided not to save Chengdu.

He naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

So the reception continued.

After the wine was drunk, Meng Huo left.

After seeing Meng Huo off, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time.

Cheng Yu walked into the palace with a solemn expression. “Prince, Chengdu has… fallen!”

Chengdu falls!

Hearing these four words, Cao Pi jumped up excitedly.

Is this exactly what he was hoping for?
Chengdu fell and Cao Cao died.

Only after Cao Cao’s death could he inherit the throne and become the emperor of Qin.

moment.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly.

But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.

Chengdu fell too quickly.

According to his calculations.

With Cao Cao’s ability, as well as the soldiers, food and strong city walls in the city.

Cao Cao can hold out for at least half a year before falling.

But in less than half a month, Chengdu fell?
“unreasonable!”

“Chengdu shouldn’t have fallen so quickly!”

Cao Pi jumped up and asked with a look of surprise.

Cheng Yu explained the reason why Xiao Fang used a trick to capture Chengdu.

The truth came out.

Cao Pi fell down and sat down.

He knew why it fell so quickly.

It turned out to be Xiao Fang’s plan.

This horrific plan is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

“It’s Xiao Fang again, it’s Xiao Fang again…”

Cao Pi hit the chair, gnashing his teeth, filled with hatred and anger.

Cheng Yu also said hatefully:
“If it weren’t for Xiao Fang, the capital would never have been lost!”

“This man is the culprit for the downfall of our Great Qin!”

The master and his minister then scolded Xiao Fang.

half an hour.

Cao Pi wanted to ask:
“Chengdu has fallen. Is my father still alive?”

Cao Cao’s life and death is what he cares about most.

Only after Cao Cao’s death could he legally ascend the throne of the Qin Dynasty.

I was afraid that Cao Cao would escape.

If he escapes to Nanzhong, what should he do?
“Don’t worry, Prince!”

“Chengdu fell, and Your Majesty tried to break out, but failed and was captured by that bastard Ma Chao.”

“Then the big-eared thief executed your majesty.”

“Your Majesty is gone!”

Cheng Yu told Cao Pi the ending.

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

But he thought that no matter how happy he was, he must not show it.

After all, he is my father.

His father died, and he was the son.

I should be sad, how can I be happy?

“Father~~”

“How did you get hurt by Liu Bei?”

“Father, ahaha~~”

Cao Pi reacted and pretended to cry loudly, then fell to the ground.

Cheng Yu could see that he was pretending to be filial.

Cheng Yu did not expose her, but pretended to be sad and comforted her.

“My prince, I am sorry.”

“Your Majesty’s murder is a national tragedy.”

“Prince, you should gather your strength and take revenge!”

“Now we have to inherit the throne.”

“Only in this way can we lead our subjects to destroy the big-eared thief and avenge him!”

Cheng Yu hugged Cao Pi to comfort him and persuaded him to succeed to the throne.

A hint of joy flashed across Cao Pi’s face.

“However, it is only right that Your Highness inherit the throne.”

“But we still need Meng Huo to help us recover our lost territory and drive out Liu Bei.”

“If Your Highness becomes emperor, you will become the ruler of Meng Huo.”

“I am worried that this will provoke Meng Huo, which will be disadvantageous to Your Majesty.”

“I think the advancement to the throne of emperor can be postponed.”

Cheng Yu persuaded again.

Cao Pi nodded slightly, and then put away his eagerness to become emperor:

“You are absolutely right. The throne of the Qin Empire must be inherited, but now is not the right time.”

“We should appease Meng Huo and protect Nanzhong.”

Seeing that Cao Pi was able to see the overall situation, Cheng Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yu continued:
“In addition to the fall of Chengdu, I have another piece of information.”

“That big-eared thief is leading hundreds of thousands of troops southwards, heading for Nanzhong!”

Cao Pi’s body swayed and he fell to the ground.

Liu Bei wanted to wipe out the entire Cao clan.

Otherwise, he would remain here and pose no threat to Liu Bei.

In this case, why did Liu Bei still want to attack him?

This is to kill them all.

“What should we do?”

Cao Pi grabbed Cheng Yu and asked with a trembling voice.

Cheng Yu pondered and said:

“Don’t panic, Your Highness. You will lose your composure.”

“The South Central has many followers, which is not conducive to the Han army’s attack.”

“I think we just need to join forces with Meng Huo and hold our ground without fighting.”

“Liu Bei’s long-term attack is useless. He is running out of food and grass. He will definitely retreat without a fight.”

“When the time comes, Your Highness will gather a large army and march north. You will surely be able to recapture the capital and Yizhou.”

Cheng Yu started to make big plans for him.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Cao Pi could only sigh:

“At this point, this is the only way.” (End of this chapter)
