Today's state of Wei is no longer as powerful as it used to be.
The surrender of Zhang Liao, Zhang Ya, Jia Xu, Xun you and Yu Jin aggravated the panic of Wei officials and led to the floating of people's minds. The faces of these officials are full of fear. They are worried about the destruction of their country and their families, and they are even more worried that they have no place to stand. In the face of Liu Xiu's strength, even Cao Cao was depressed and disheartened, let alone they.
Cao Cao listened to the comments of the officials in the court, but he didn't see any one come out to speak. He was even more agitated in his heart and yelled, "shut up
When they heard this, they immediately kept silent.
A pair of eyes, fell on Cao Cao's body.
Cao Cao's eyes swept the crowd and said once again, "Jizhou is in crisis. Wei is in danger. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I have my own music!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came out. It's not other people who speak, but Yang Xiu, Cao Cao's master.
When the crowd did not speak, Yang Xiu stood up.
Yang Xiu bowed respectfully to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, in today's situation, Liu Xiu's momentum has become irresistible. If he could resist the Chu army, Wei Chen was willing to take the lead. However, in the first battle of Dongjun, even General Xu Chu was captured by Liu Xiu. In such a decadent situation, how to resist? Your majesty, I suggest Kaesong surrender. "
WOW!!
The court was in an uproar.
One by one, the officials talked again, and the hall was like a vegetable market. When people looked at Yang Xiu, they all felt that Yang Xiu was dead. It was really bold of Yang Xiu to persuade Cao Cao to surrender in front of Cao Cao.
"Come on
Suddenly, there was a loud voice. As soon as the voice came out, it suppressed the voice of the officials in the court.
In an instant, soldiers came in.
It was Cao Pi, the prince of the state of Wei.
At the moment, Cao Pi's eyes were murderous and his eyes were fixed on Yang Xiu. He said angrily, "Yang Xiu, you are a corrupt scholar. You dare to bewitch people. You should be punished for your crime."
After a pause, Cao Pi continued: "my father's kindness to you is as heavy as a mountain, and I am more grateful to you. In the face of Liu Xiu's attack, your knee is soft. You have to surrender to Liu Xiu. Good, very good. Prince Ben will send you on the road first. After defeating Liu Xiu and killing him, you will be reunited in the underworld. "
The officials looked at Yang Xiu again.
What will Yang Xiu do at this time?
The expression on Yang Xiu's face remained unchanged, and he said without any impatience: "prince, I have made it very clear just now. If the troops of the state of Wei could stop Liu Xiu, he would be more willing to take the lead. "
"The problem is that the state of Chu is aggressive, and the state of Wei is powerless to fight back. What can the prince do to resist?"
"Just shouting slogans?"
"Anyone can shout slogans, but in fact, there is no chance of winning at all. In all previous battles with Liu Xiu, Cao Ren died, Xia Houdun died, Xia Houyuan died, Li Dian died, with countless casualties. "
"Now, Xu Chu has also been captured."
"All the civil and military generals of the state of Wei died on the battlefield, or surrendered to Liu Xiu and worked for him. In today's situation, who can be the leader? Who can strategize against Liu Xiu's army? "
Yang Xiu's eyes were burning and his words were sharp. He said: "in this war, Liu Xiu mobilized wenpin, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong and Lu Xun's forces. There were five armies to kill Ye City, facing such a strong attack. Is it possible for the prince to resist just by his mouth? When the prince wants to kill Wei Chen, he has nothing to say but to die. "
Cao Pi was so angry that he ordered: "come on, bring it down to me and behead it to the public! If there are any more persuaders, kill them! "
When the soldiers came forward, they would carry Yang Xiu out.
Yang Xiu took a look at the speechless Cao Cao, sneered twice, brushed his sleeve, raised his head and said, "don't stand, I can go by myself." Without any hesitation, he turned and went out. Seeing this, the soldiers went out with him.
At this moment, all officials were silent.
One by one, there was a trace of fear and worry in Cao Pi's eyes.
Yang Xiu said that if he surrendered, he would be killed. They dare not speak again.
"Wait!"
Just at this time, a hoarse voice sounded, and Cao Cao, who had never spoken, began to speak. Cao Cao's eyes fell on the soldiers and said, "all of you, step back!"
"Here it is
The soldier bowed and turned back.
Yang Xiu turned to bow to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty."
Cao Cao's voice was hoarse and he said slowly, "Yang Qing, do you really think you can't stop Chu?"
Yang Xiu said solemnly, "Your Majesty knows the state of Wei best. His majesty also knows the strength of Chu. In today's world, Liu Xiu is a great military strategist. He wins by surprise and is invincible. And so is your majesty, who is also proficient in the art of war and knows the situation. "
"Your Majesty should know that the state of Wei can't stop Liu Xiu."
"In the past, your majesty and Yuan Shao fought and fought. Although your Majesty was at a disadvantage, there were many talented people under your Majesty's command, including Guo Jia, Xun you, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other counsellors, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun, Zhang Liao and other generals fighting, and Guan Yu helped each other.""These are the reasons for your Majesty's victory."
"However, the most important reason is that Yuan Shaogang is self willed, lenient, and not a master."
Yang Xiu talked about it calmly and said: "the reason why your majesty can defeat Yuan Shao, unify Hebei, and pacify the north, 40% of the reason lies in your Majesty's wise decision, and 60% of the reason lies in Yuan Shao's mistake."
"It's hard to use Yuan Shao today if he is not stubborn."
"Today, even though his majesty is the wise master, Liu Xiu is also cunning and ferocious. In particular, Liu Xiu's military generals are like clouds, his advisers are like rain, and his influence is far beyond Yuan Shao. "
"In the situation of great disparity in strength between the two sides, Liu Xiu, with the general trend, was able to steadily advance step by step and encroach on the state of Wei. Liu Xiu is not Yuan Shao. He can't make Yuan Shao's mistakes. "
"If Liu Xiu is a man like Yuan Shao, his majesty will be able to turn the tide. But his majesty and Liu Xiu are both enemies and friends. They know Liu Xiu's situation like the back of their hands. They should be aware of Liu Xiu's strength. "
Yang Xiu long body Yiyi a ceremony, zhengse way: "in the downwind of Wei, can't stop the soldiers of Chu."
Every sentence, like a knife, poked in Cao Cao's heart.
Cao Cao's face changed again and again.
Cao Cao has to admit that Yang Xiu's analysis is reasonable.
In the past, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao because of his own command and the original strategy of the counselors. But even though Cao Cao did his best, he was in trouble in the end. If it had not been for Yuan Shao's mistake, which led to Xu you's betrayal and Cao Cao's sneak attack on Yuan Shao's granary, there would have been no Cao Cao today.
Facing Liu Xiu, Cao Cao was very weak.
With the continuous development of Liu Xiu, his influence became stronger and stronger, and he even showed his miracles repeatedly and got the help of heaven. The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. Not reconciled at the same time, but also increasingly depressed.
"Hoo! Hoo
Cao Cao's breathing became more rapid, and his face was flushed. As soon as his throat was sweet, he puffed out a mouthful of blood, and then he sat down, very weak.
Seeing this, Cao Pi rushed up with an arrow.
Cao Pi came to Cao Cao's face, helped Cao Cao, and said in a murderous way: "Yang Xiu bewitches people with evil words, so we should punish him! Please order to kill this Liao. This man was bribed by Liu Xiu. "
Yang Xiu looked disdainful and said, "I am honored by your majesty. I am loyal to the state of Wei. I have not been bribed by Liu Xiu. I'm just telling the truth. If the prince doesn't listen to the advice, it's OK. If the prince wants to kill him, I have nothing to say. "
"You..."
Cao Pi was very angry.
He wanted to speak again, but Cao Cao stopped him. Cao Cao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaned against Cao Pi. Then he summoned up his spirit and looked at Xun Yu. He said with a straight face: "Gongda, what do you think?"
Xun Yu is a wise man who can judge the current situation. Instead of persuading Yang Xiu to surrender, he solemnly said, "I am willing to follow your majesty and fight to the end until the last moment."
What is revealed in the words is that they are not optimistic about the next World War.
Xun Yu also believed that he would be defeated.
How clever Cao Cao was, when Xun Yu said it, he understood Xun's judgment. Cao Cao sighed in his heart, turned his eyes, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "what do you think of Zhong De Gong?"
Among all of you, Cheng Yu has always dared to remonstrate and was more loyal to Cao Cao. Cheng Yu white haired, zhengse said: "I swear to follow your majesty."
In a word, it also reveals endless pessimism.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun and asked, "Chen Qing, what do you think?"
Chen Qun was silent and replied, "Your Majesty, I agree with what master Yang said. Today's situation can't be stopped. For the sake of his majesty and the people of the state of Wei, I agree to surrender. "
Chen Qun comes from the Chen family in Yingchuan, and is a member of a large family. Although Chen Qun was loyal to Cao Cao, at this time, the state of Wei was unable to hold on any longer.
Therefore, Chen Qun has to consider for his family.
When Cao Pi listened to Chen Qun's words, he was also furious and kept Chen Qun in mind.
