Cao Pi and others never expected that Yang Ling, Cao Zhi and others would be drinking and having fun in the palace where Zhen Yao led them.
Before Zhen Yao had time to think about why he did this, the guardsmen on the left and right had already rushed forward.
Cao Pi had no choice but to raise his arms and shout,
"Follow me and kill the enemy, and I will reward you heavily afterwards!"
Sima Yi and others also knew in their hearts that if they were defeated today, they would never be able to survive by chance.
So they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yang Ling and Cao Zhi with the determination to die!
The two sides soon fell into a melee!
However, Cao Pi's side did not have the numerical advantage. As more and more Imperial Guard soldiers came over after hearing the news, they gradually fell into a disadvantage!
"Come and let me, Xu Chu, meet you!"
Xu Chu laughed loudly and joined the battlefield with a broadsword in hand.
The people he targeted were none other than Sima Yi's two younger brothers, Sima Fu and Sima Kui.
Looking at the menacing Xu Chu, the two of them instinctively sensed something was wrong.
They had no intention of starting a fight with Xu Chu, so they turned around and planned to retreat.
However, how could Xu Chu let them go? He stepped forward with his sword in his hand and Sima Fu was cut into two!
Sima Kui, who was next to him, was immediately frightened out of his wits. He was even so frightened that he couldn't walk at all.
Xu Chu struck him again and cut him into two pieces!
"How boring!"
Xu Chu shook off the blood on the knife with disdain.
"Second brother, third brother!"
Sima Yi, who was not far away, saw this scene and his eyes were about to burst!
Cao Pi was even more shocked and speechless by the bloody scene!
After a moment, he came back to his senses, immediately dropped the weapon in his hand, and shouted with a pale face,
"I...I surrender!"
When Yang Ling heard this, he shook his head slightly towards Dian Wei who was guarding behind Cao Pi.
Dian Wei nodded knowingly and waved his hand,
"The rebels are stubborn and are firing arrows!"
The imperial soldiers beside him raised their Lingyue Repeating Crossbows.
"Swish swish!"
Countless arrows shot through the air, and Cao Pi was the first to bear the brunt. His whole body was shot into a hornet's nest!
He looked down at his body, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and then he fell heavily to the ground!
Before losing consciousness, Cao Pi suddenly remembered that he had promised his father Cao Cao that he would treat Yang Ling with courtesy. If he broke his promise, he would be killed by thousands of arrows!
Isn’t today’s situation the fulfillment of the oath?
People like Zhu Shuo, Li Fu and others also failed to escape and ended up with the same fate as Cao Pi.
The battle in the palace happened suddenly and ended quite suddenly.
In less than a cup of tea, Cao Pi and his entourage were almost completely dead and wounded, leaving only Sima Yi, who was leaning against a pillar in the palace, holding on to his injured body.
Looking at the imperial army approaching him step by step, he was not frightened, but his expression was complicated.
"Wait!"
Yang Ling stopped the soldiers and ordered,
"First escort His Majesty and all the ministers out of here."
The sword has no eyes. If it weren't for the fear of being accidentally injured, Cao Zhi and the courtiers would have wanted to leave this place long ago.
After hearing Yang Ling's order, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others escorted Cao Zhi and others away, apart from the corpses scattered everywhere in the palace, only Yang Ling, Sima Yi, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were left.
"Sima Yi, you know, I only have one sentence to tell you about this situation."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"What words?"
Sima Yi asked subconsciously.
"When the cat doesn't want to play with the mouse, the mouse doesn't stand a chance."
Sima Yi's pupils shrank suddenly.
This is not arrogant!
But he had to admit that Yang Ling had arrogance!
"Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Yang Ling, you win, I have nothing to say."
"But before I die, I want to ask you, is the Zhen family... the chess piece you arranged?"
Sima Yi stared at Yang Ling.
"Yes, it's exactly what I arranged."
Yang Ling nodded generously in agreement.
Although he had expected it, Sima Yi couldn't help being surprised after hearing Yang Ling's words!
He had to sigh at how deep Yang Ling's scheming was!
Even before Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor, he used a trick to place the Zhen family next to Cao Pi!
"I asked Zhen Yao to lure you here tonight so that I can get rid of you in an open and fair manner."
"Not only that, but even the hundreds of armors in the Mi family warehouse were actually put in by me on purpose."
"Otherwise, do you think you can do it flawlessly just based on your ability to do things?"
Yang Ling smiled disdainfully.
After hearing this, Sima Yi's face turned quite gloomy.
The step-by-step attacks they made on Yang Ling were all done deliberately by Yang Ling!
In the contest with Yang Ling, Sima Yi was completely defeated!
"It's almost time, let's send him on his way."
Yang Ling waved his hand.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn't hesitate, stepped forward and slashed at him!
Sima Yi's head flew high and landed heavily on the ground!
A generation of Tsukatora fell like this!
"Clean up this place and I'll go meet His Majesty."
Yang Ling gave instructions and walked towards the palace where Cao Zhi was.
After the fright just now, Cao Zhi's face became even paler.
Seeing Yang Ling walking in, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to greet him.
"General!"
"I have met His Majesty!"
Yang Ling bowed and said respectfully,
"The assassination attempt against His Majesty tonight has been put down."
"The rebels led by the deposed emperor were all beheaded. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Hearing what he said, Cao Zhi felt a little relieved and praised,
"With the general in charge, I feel quite relieved!"
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Yang Ling handed over and planned to leave.
"General, wait!"
Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment and finally called Yang Ling.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Brother-in-law, please sit down. I have something to discuss with you."
Yang Ling was slightly stunned, but still sat down next to Cao Zhi.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Now that I have no children, in order to ensure the bloodline of the Wei Dynasty, my brother-in-law is willing to adopt Yang Yuan to me?"
Cao Zhi said cautiously.
When Yang Ling heard this, he was immediately surprised and said quickly,
"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, so he will surely have a prince soon, so why be in a hurry?"
"I know my body best. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days."
Cao Zhi smiled bitterly.
After deposing Cao Pi as emperor, he, Sima Yi and others assassinated Cao Zhang and poisoned Cao Zhi, and the truth was revealed.
Yang Ling immediately asked someone to check Cao Zhi's body.
But the situation was quite bad, and the toxicity had penetrated into Cao Zhi's internal organs.
Zhang Zhongjing is old and left for the west last year.
Hua Tuo was also killed by Cao Cao early.
Although the imperial doctors in the palace were all Zhang Zhongjing's disciples, they were helpless.
According to them, no matter how much care he takes, Cao Zhi can only extend his life by half a year at most.
