    When Lu Rui arrived at the plain, it was already a step too late. All he saw were the bodies of Cao Chong and hundreds of his guards.  Everyone's corpses had been burned black, and Cao Chong's identity could only be judged from his height, sword and a piece of broken jade.  "Brother Rui Brother Chong" Seeing Lu Rui, Cao Zhang lay on Lu Rui and cried loudly.  Lu Rui stared blankly at Cao Chong's body, which was actually scorched by lightning.  Kill with electricity?  It's incredible that Zhuge Liang knew this method.  Wrong, everything is wrong.  Lu Rui should have followed Cao Chong on his own expedition long ago. If Lu Rui had been by Cao Chong's side, Cao Chong would not have fallen into Zhuge Liang's scheme and died in Zhuge Liang's thunder formation.  Infinite regret surged into Lu Rui's heart, but unfortunately it was too late. Lu Rui shed tears and picked up Cao Chong's body.  "Master Hou, what should we do now?" Although Li Dian was shocked when he saw Cao Chong's body, he remained calm and tentatively asked Lu Rui.  "What to do?" Lu Rui was brought back to reality by Li Dian. What else could he do now that Cao Chong was dead? He could only return to Xudu to report to Cao Cao who was in Xiliang. The most fatal factor in Cao Chong's death was the internal conflicts within Cao Wei. Zhuzi  Maybe the storm will rise again and they will compete for the throne of the prince.  "General Li, you lead the army to join Zidan. Rui has asked Zidan to move the people from Hebei to the Central Plains. You lead the army to cooperate with Zidan and quickly move the people south." Lu Rui wiped away the tired water, Cao Chong could not  He died in vain. He must avenge Cao Chong in the future. Now that Cao Wei has a vast territory, and after moving its population south, Cao Wei can quickly regain its strength.  Twenty years later.  Lu Rui had absolute confidence to send troops to the four states of Hebei.  At that time, Hebei must be unified to avenge Cao Chong.  "No!" Li Dian cupped his hands and left.  After Li Dian left, Lu Rui took Cao Chong's body and returned to Xudu with Cao Zhang.  After half a month's journey, Lu Rui finally arrived in Xudu and transported Cao Chong's body back to the Wei Palace.  When Mrs. Huan saw Cao Chong's body, she couldn't bear the stimulation and fainted. Mrs. Bian hurriedly came to see her lover for treatment.  Lu Rui was not in the mood to deal with these people and came to the study alone.  Cao Ang is waiting for Lu Rui.  "Bufan, this is the confession written by Ang to his father. Ang is also responsible for Chong's brother's matter. Bufan, take a look at it. If there are no problems, we will send it to father together." Cao Ang's eyes were red, and he was very concerned about Cao Chong's death.  Sadly, although Cao Chong took away Cao Ang's position as heir apparent, Cao Ang did not hold any grudge against Cao Chong from the bottom of his heart, at most he was just jealous.  Lu Rui took over the essay written by Cao Ang.  After one glance, Cao Ang took Cao Chong's matter on himself.  As Deputy Prime Minister, I have an unshirkable responsibility.  "Brother, this matter is Rui's responsibility. Brother, please don't take the blame on yourself. Rui will take full responsibility for this matter. Brother, you only need to report the truth." Lu Rui shook his head. Cao Ang's statement was absolutely unacceptable.  Submit it to the court and give it to Cao Cao.  "Bu Fan, my brother is responsible for this. Brother Chong has been leading the troops in the plains for a long time, but Ang failed to fulfill his responsibility of reminding me and acted on my brother's concern. He is indeed guilty." "Brother, now my brother can never be guilty, he can only be meritorious.  ." Lu Rui threw the Biao Wen into the brazier aside.  "Bufan, you?" "Brother, after Brother Chong leaves, your brother must be the crown prince. The crown prince of King Wei can only have merit but not guilt. Although Rui is young, his merits are higher than those of his brother. Rui  The most he can do to take responsibility is to be demoted or reduced in rank. As the heir apparent, the elder brother must have merit in subduing the ministers and cannot be guilty. This matter will be left to Rui." Lu Rui picked up the carving knife and began to write a new statement.  "This" Cao Ang had no objection after hearing this.  The Cao family is now in the greatest crisis. Liu Xie was assassinated in Xudu. He was poisoned and his life and death are unknown. The princes of the world will definitely use this as an excuse to deal with the Cao family.  Cao Cao is old, and the Cao family needs a successor. Cao Ang is the best choice now.  " If Cao Ang is the heir, he cannot be guilty but can only be meritorious. It is said that a prince must be virtuous to rule the world. Once Cao Ang becomes the heir, he must establish virtue and establish prestige. At this time, Cao Ang must not be allowed to bear the blame.  "Brother, Rui has already written the form. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, you can sign it." Lu Rui has been working as a pen clerk in the government office since he was a child. Although it has been many years, his skills have not fallen behind.  The essay was written in a moment.  Lu Rui took all the blame for Cao Chong's death on himself. After all, he was a chariot and cavalry general in charge of the military affairs of the four states.  Lu Rui asked himself to be demoted to three levels and fined three years' salary.  This guilt did not cause much loss to Lu Rui.  Even if the general of chariots and cavalry is demoted to three levels, he is still the general of guarding, and this is the official position of the Han Dynasty.  After Cao Ang becomes emperor, he will become a minister of Cao Wei. It will be up to Cao Ang to decide how high his official rank will be.  "This is an extraordinary kindness, Ang will definitely remember it in his heart." Cao Ang took the letter, glanced at it, and then looked at Lu Rui.  Meet Lu RuiFeeling determined, Cao Ang had no choice but to sign the declaration.  "Brother, you're welcome. Everything is for the Cao family and Father Zhong." Three months later, in the Hanzhong Prefecture, Cao Cao was sitting on the throne with a happy face. He not only put down the rebellion in Xiliang, but also took advantage of the great victory.  Hanzhong was captured, Zhang Lu surrendered, Ma Chao led his defeated troops back to Shuzhong and surrendered to Liu Zhang.  "Congratulations to the King of Wei for capturing Hanzhong. Now that Hanzhong has been conquered, Shu is just around the corner!" Xia Houyuan held up a glass of wine at the banquet and congratulated Cao Cao.  "General Xiahou Yuan should be the first to take the lead in the capture of Hanzhong. I will first pay tribute to the general." Cao Cao drank first to express his gratitude to Xiahou Yuan.  "Thank you, King Wei!" "Report! Xu Du reports urgently!" While Cao Cao was having a banquet with everyone, Xu Du's information was sent to Hanzhong.  "Send it to me for a look." Cao Cao drank another glass of wine before taking the information.  After receiving the information, Cao Cao was filled with joy at first, then suddenly his face changed and his expression fell onto the dining table.  "King Wei?" All the civil and military officials looked at Cao Cao in surprise. What on earth could have caused Cao Cao to lose his composure?  "God will not bless the Cao family, but God will take away my son!" Cao Cao shouted, and then passed out. The ministers rushed forward and carried Cao Cao away in a hurry. Three days later, Cao Cao made a decision.  He was demoted to the post general and given a salary of three years. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan to be the governor of Hanzhong and led an army of 200,000 to guard Hanzhong.  Because of this, when the Cao Wei regime was experiencing the calamity of Cao Chong, something big happened in the governor's house in Chengdu. Liu Xun knelt in front of Liu Zhang and led troops to raid Jianning according to Liu Zhang's plan.  Sun Quan of Jianning originally supported Liu Zhang in sending troops. With the help of the Southern Barbarians, Sun Quan defeated the combined forces of Liu Xun and the Jianning nobles with the help of one hundred thousand Southern Barbarians. "Father, the child is guilty. Sun Quan has now joined forces.  Departing for Chengdu, we will arrive at the gate of Chengdu soon.  "Liu Xun didn't expect Sun Quan to be so powerful. He not only defeated his own army but also joined forces with the Southern Barbarians to attack Chengdu. "Xun'er, this is not your fault. As a father, I just fought hard. It's a pity that God did not give us the Liu family a chance.  "Liu Zhang shook his head. The only solution for now is to surrender to Sun Quan. Liu Zhang believed that with his strength in Shu, Sun Quan would definitely give them father and son wealth and keep their descendants safe. "Xun'er.  You personally go to Sun Quan's former military camp and present a surrender letter to Sun Quan.  "    "Father?  Do we just give up?  Liu Xun was still unwilling to give up such a big place in Shu to Sun Quan? "Xun'er, the situation is no longer with our Liu family. There is no need to force it. Xun'er listens to his father's words. Only in this way can we protect the wealth of our family."  "Liu Zhang took out the seal of Zhou Mu, wiped it, observed it for a while, put it into a brocade box, and handed it to Liu Xun. Three days later, in Sun Quan's camp, Liu Xun presented Sun Quan with a surrender.  "My father is willing to offer the land of Shu to the Marquis of Wu.  "Liu Xun knelt under Sun Quan, holding the inscription in both hands and raising it high. "Master Liu, please get up quickly. I am just doing it for the people of the world. Liu Yizhou has voted for me. I will not treat Liu Yizhou and Liu badly.  Young Master.  "Sun Quan quickly helped Liu Xun up, as if he had not defeated Liu Xun and returned to Chengdu a few days ago. "Young Master Liu is about the same age as Quan, and Quan has a daughter. I heard that the young master has a son, and the two of us can become a good match for Qin and Jin.  In the future, we will share the wealth and honor in Shu.  "Sun Quan gave Liu Xun another promise, allowing the Liu family to marry the Sun family and share wealth. "This?  "Liu Xun was confused. Sun Quan wanted to marry him. Six months ago, the two were quarreling enemies, but now they are actually going to get married. "Mr. Liu, don't you believe in Quan?  Quan Ke sincerely married the young master.  "Thank you so much, Marquis Wu. Liu Xun will definitely help Marquis Wu stabilize Shuzhong in the future."  "Liu Xun finally knew why Liu Zhang wanted to hand over Shu to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was indeed a hero. In 210 AD, Sun Quan entered Chengdu, and Liu Zhang surrendered Shu. Sun Quan named himself Duke of Qin, named Liu Zhang Duke of Shu, and granted amnesty.  In Shuzhong, to appease the people in Yecheng, Yuan Xi felt unwell since the battle with Cao Chong. After the West Route Army retreated, Cao Ren's East Route Army did not march to Yecheng.  He was ordered to retreat to the Hanoi area. Yuan Xi also returned to Yecheng with his army. At this time, Liu Bei was in a state of disarray, with only a few hundred soldiers left. "My lord, your body?"  "Tian Feng looked sad and came to Yuan Xi's bedside. He had served the Yuan family for many years, and now he had finally saved a share of the Yuan family's business. It's a pity that Yuan Xi is leaving. "Military advisor, this generalThe old man is not doing well anymore, and the youngest son is not good enough. If he inherits the Yuan family business, he will be in trouble in the future.  The military advisor is asked to try his best to protect the Yuan family. This is the last message from the general to the court. Please consider it carefully.  "Yuan Xi weakly pointed to a document in front of the bed. Tian Feng took the document and saw the content above. Yuan Xi expressed to the court that he was incompetent and unworthy of God's grace. He was afraid that he would not be able to revive the Han Dynasty, so he asked to surrender.  At the same time, Yuan Xi said that Liu Bei was a great uncle of the Han Dynasty and had the talent to help the world. Liu Bei should be the leader of the four states in Hebei, and he hoped that the court would grant Liu Bei the title.  To show his loyalty to the Duke of Han, Tian Feng fully understood Yuan Xi's intentions when he saw Yuan Xi's confession.  Liu Bei was appointed as the leader of the four states to confront Cao Cao. The Yuan family retreated to Youzhou and no longer took charge of Hebei affairs.  , Hebei has no danger to defend, and the Yuan family will surely suffer disaster. This is a plan to save the family.  Please ask the military advisor to take good care of the Yuan family's heirs for me.  "Yuan Xi held Tian Feng's hand and said his last request. "Lord!  !  !  !  "Yuan Xi's hand slipped and he passed away. In the spring of 211 AD, Yuan Xi, the lord of Hebei, died of illness. An envoy from Hebei brought Yuan Xi's concubine Zhen to Xudu to present a gift to Wei Wang Cao Cao as a sign of reconciliation. Wei Wang Cao Cao was in Luoyang  After marrying the Zhen family, Cao Pi, the son of the clan, made a truce with the Yuan family in Hebei. Liu Bei obtained permission from the court and was granted the title of Duke of Han, and commanded the four states of Hebei. Yuan Xi's youngest son was named the Marquis of Lelang, the governor of Beiping, and the shepherd of Youzhou.  . With the help of Tian Feng, the chief administrator of Youzhou, he took 20,000 Yuan's old troops to Youzhou and took office, and was ordered to guard the north. Yuan Xi's younger brother Yuan Mai was named General Wuhuan, and Wuhuan Hou Chijie guarded the old place of Wuhuan.  , the situation in the world has become increasingly clear, the three forces in the world have entered a temporary state of balance, and the world has entered a period of ten years of cultivation. In Chang'an City, Lu Rui has arrived at the Chang'an Prefecture on Cao Cao's secret order. "My father-in-law, King Wei is waiting in the study.  !  "Zhong Yao was waiting for Lu Rui in front of the prefect's house, and personally introduced Lu Rui to meet Cao Cao. This time, Lu Rui didn't get goosebumps. The pain of Cao Chong's death had completely occupied Lu Rui's heart. "It's a big crime for the child to see Father Zhong.  Please punish Zhongfu!  " Lu Rui knelt in front of Cao Cao as soon as he entered the study, not daring to look at Cao Cao. He will always bear the responsibility for Cao Chong's death. " Rui'er, get up. Cang Shu's death is his father's responsibility. Rui'er doesn't have to commit suicide.  responsibility.  "Cao Cao answered Lu Rui in a hoarse voice. "Yes, Father Zhong!  Lu Rui was stunned when he raised his head. Cao Cao had white hair, fluffy and messy, and his face was as lifeless as dead wood. His eyes were red and dull, and he just held a dagger that a child played with in his hand. Lu Rui recognized that this was Cao Chong.  A childhood plaything, this sword is a short sword made by Cao Cao from the big tree in front of Chen Liu's former residence. During the Western Expedition two years ago, Cao Cao's old man on the outskirts of Xudu was ambitious and had the ambition to dominate the world.  Cao Cao is just a poor old man who lost his beloved son. "When Cang Shu was young, he vowed to unify the world with this sword. He was really, really happy to be a father" "  Father Zhong, please take care of yourself. Brother Chong doesn't want Father Zhong to do this. Father Zhong still has the power to dominate the world" Lu Rui saw Cao Cao's sadness and hurriedly stepped forward.  comfort.  "Rui'er, my father is old and Cang Shu is gone. To use all the power of the world to unify the world is just a waste of people's energy. If he had not been in charge of the court for more than ten years, I am afraid that Yuan Shu would not be the only one to be the emperor and king in the world. Now the situation is overwhelming.  To reverse the situation, it¡¯s better not to waste the people¡¯s energy.¡± ¡°Yes, Father Zhong!¡± Lu Rui helped Cao Cao to the fish pond in the yard.  "Rui'er, my father wants you to come here this time, and there is only one word that I want to pass on to Rui'er." "Please give me some advice, Father Zhong!" "Steady! My father must have a stable political situation during his lifetime. This word is passed on to Bufan, and Bufan tells his son Xiu  . This matter will be left to Bufan. My father is old and I will no longer return to Xudu. I will leave Xudu to Zixiu. Bufan must assist Zixiu. The unification of the world depends on young people." Cao Cao waved his hand and said.  Lu Rui helped himself back to the bedroom.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
