Chapter 1292: Henan! Depends

The time turned to three hours ago. Look at ΔΔshuge WwnW. "kan→shu→ge. co

Bai Xiaowen has led troops into Yingchuan County.

However, Xun Yu took the initiative to invite Ying: "Your Majesty, you don't need to mobilize the crowd. I would like to take Cao Cao's coffin and die, and go to Xudu to recruit the four young masters."

Bai Xiaowen's first reaction was to refuse.

Xun Yu is certainly an excellent candidate, and Bai Xiaowen is also willing to believe in Xun Yu.

But, who knows what Xu Du and his gang think of Xun Yu? What do you think of Cao Cao's death?

In case Xun Yu is chopped off, Bai Xiaowen will suffer - what Xun Yu brings to him is not only a bonus of +10 to all attributes, but more importantly, 1 point of priority! In addition, there are abilities such as being good at internal affairs and improving livability, all of which can have long-term effects.

Since Xun Yu mentioned it, Bai Xiaowen wanted to not let him go, but knew he couldn't resist.

Seeing the worry on Bai Xiaowen's face, Xun Yu said, "My lord, don't worry. My nephew, Xun You, is currently in Xudu. Besides, the righteous deeds of my lord, Yi Shi, and the four sons of Duke Cao are ahead of me, so I won't be in danger. "

Bai Xiaowen held Xun Yu's hand and said: "If you want to go, you need to agree to one thing, let me capture Yanling Pass and surround Xudu with soldiers."

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Why should my lord do this?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "You and I have our own persistence, and that's all I can do for you. Even if Cao Cao's fourth son and the old department have any unreasonable ideas, then when the soldiers encircle Xudu, Their illusions should also be shattered."

Xun Yu lowered his hands and said, "Of course, it is up to the lord to decide on important military matters. I will escort Duke Cao's coffin and go first."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'll see you off."

...

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a mourning hall was temporarily built.

The coffin that Bai Xiaowen prepared for Cao Cao was of good quality. It was made of sandalwood, and the wood was thick. There were dozens of pearls buried in it. The iron armor he wore during his lifetime was also wiped clean. Only the Yitian Sword was left behind by Bai Xiaowen himself.

In fact, the Yitian sword is useless, because there is no psionic particle resonance, Bai Xiaowen swung it like a fire stick.

Bai Xiaowen can't use it,

It doesn't mean that the Yitian sword is useless, he can give it to the aboriginal generals under his command.

Such a precious sword, wouldn't it be a pity to be buried with Cao Cao...

Cao Pi and the others didn't care about a sword. After they saw Cao Cao's body, there were bursts of crying in the mourning hall.

Xun You led the other officials of the prime minister's mansion, and asked, "What is your purpose here?"

Although the two were uncles and nephews, they belonged to two camps at this time, so they naturally had to deal with business, so Xun You called him "Ling Jun", which was considered a polite name.

Xun Yu said: "I'm here to invite you all to persuade Mr. Cao Pi to obey Mr. Cao's will and surrender to my lord."

An official of the prime minister's mansion sarcastically said: "If you change your family, what face do you have to persuade you to surrender?"

Xun Yu was silent, ignored the little official, and turned to Xun You and said, "Now that the battle is settled, Mr. Cao Pi has no chance, I believe you can see it. Stubborn resistance will only add a lot of innocent souls to the underworld." Well, what's the use?"

Cao Pi dressed in hemp and filial piety, stood up suddenly, and came to Xun Yu:

"Xun Lingjun, I know that you surrendered to Yuan Xi because you had hidden secrets, to let Yuan Xi release our four brothers back! I don't blame you for this.

"However, my father has just been killed by Yuan Xi, and I will surrender on my knees and surrender all my fortune to my enemy. How will the people of the world think of me? I would rather die in battle than fall into the name of my father!"

Xun Yu looked directly at Cao Pi: "Master Cao Pi thinks, why did Duke Cao leave this will before he died?"

Cao Pi lowered his head and said, "It's to protect our Cao family."

Xun Yu said: "The young master only knows one thing, but not the other. Duke Cao has entrusted his ambition of unifying the world to his greatest enemy! Duke Cao once said to me when he was alive: Knowing that you can't do it To do so is the greatest foolish act. I hope you will understand Cao Gong’s heart, and don’t let him down with his painstaking efforts to kill himself with a sword!”

Suddenly, a scout came to report that Yuan Xi's army had taken Yanling Pass without bloodshed and arrived at the city of Xudu. An army of 50,000 has surrounded Xudu.

Cao Pi looked at Xun You a little confused.

Xun You is so smart. He has seen Cao Pi's vacillation, so he asked Xun Yu, "If my lord is willing to surrender, can Mr. Yuan really save the lives of Cao's family?"

Xun Yu said decisively: "I would like to guarantee it with my life."

Xun You looked at Cao Pi: "Yuan Xi is quite benevolent and righteous. Last time he broke Xudu, he fulfilled his promise and released the four young masters. My lord, what do you think?"

Cao Pi looked at the expressions of the officials in the prime minister's mansion.

After hearing that Yuan Xi's army besieged Xudu, the officials of the prime minister's mansion all showed panic, without any fighting intent on their faces.

At this time in Xudu, although there is some food, there is a shortage of soldiers, and it is impossible to defend the city at all-Yuan Xi used 20,000 troops to attack Xudu last time.

Cao Pi shrank his head: "I still need to discuss this matter with my mother and brothers."

Xun You said: "Since the lord has inherited the foundation, he can decide everything by himself, why bother to ask others."

Cao Pi: "...well, I am willing to submit to the imperial court."

What Cao Pi emphasized was submitting to the imperial court, not Yuan Xi, which can be regarded as finding a way for himself.

Subordinate: "My lord is wise!"

Cao Pi didn't know if it was an illusion. After saying the words of submission, the subordinates seemed to be relieved...

...

Bai Xiaowen waited anxiously.

Not long after, the gates of Xudu opened, and a white flag hung over the city.

Cao Pi led the relatives of the Cao family and the officials of the prime minister's mansion, holding seals, household registration books and other items, and went out of the city to surrender!

"Successful! Xun Yu really did what he said!"

Bai Xiaowen suppressed the excitement in his chest, got off the back of Rage Claw, and helped Cao Pi up with his own hands.

Looking at this wife Zhen Mi who captured him (Yuan Xi) in the novel, and even Cao Pi who finally proclaimed himself emperor, Bai Xiaowen felt emotional. He suppressed these thoughts with a smile, led the army into the city, and took over Xudu's city defense.

Bai Xiaowen made Cao Pi the Marquis of Anle Township, and the rest of the Cao family were named Marquis of Ting.

The fiefdom of the four was set at Chenliu, Yanzhou, but the Hou Mansion was placed in Weijun, Jizhou. In doing so, the Cao family members can always be under the surveillance of Yedu and separated from the fiefdom, and it can also minimize the possibility of the Cao family's resurgence.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen couldn't kill Cao Pi. In addition to moral factors, there are also practical factors. Now that the world is uncertain, and the princes are rising together, if they kill those who surrender, and conquer the enemy in the future, they will all fight to the death and never surrender.

Under Xun Yu's suggestion, Bai Xiaowen circulated (xi) all states in Henan, sent Cao Cao's will, together with the emperor's edict, and ordered the chief officials of each state, county and county to report to Xudu for a period of three days. If it is not within three days, it will be regarded as disobedience to the emperor's edict and Cao Cao's last order, and will be punished by the army.

This was indeed a good method, and the chief officials of various states and counties entered Xudu one after another, expressing their intention to submit to the imperial court.

Among them is an old acquaintance of Bai Xiaowen - Zhong Yao, the captain of Sili Xiaowen, who once intercepted him at halfway across the Yellow River in Mengjin.

Zhong Yao didn't seem to have any particular tendency towards whom to be loyal to, and when he met Bai Xiaowen, he didn't show any worry or fear at all.

Bai Xiaowen joked, "How many arrows are there for Meng Jin?"

Zhong Yao replied: "At that time I hated less, but now I hate more."

Bai Xiaowen laughed loudly, and then said seriously: "The company's guarding Sizhou can relieve the worries of the west, enrich the population, and make great contributions to the community." He then ordered Zhong Yao to continue to guard Sizhou.

Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said, "Sizhou still has a problem at this time, which needs to be reported to the lord."
