Yuyi recalled it for a long time, but still didn't know why. Seeing that Yu Yi couldn't answer for a long time, Kong Ming reminded him: "I said that your eldest brother is too kind and has no talent as a king. I hope you can inherit your ambition and become the new king!"
Yu Yi was very surprised after hearing this and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Kong Ming must be drunk. Don't say such nonsense!"
Kong Ming's face turned red, he stood up suddenly, and said: "I told my true thoughts, why are brothers afraid!"
Yu Yi defended: "It's not because of fear. Everyone knows that the King of Hanzhong and I are sworn brothers. If we cross the river and demolish the bridge, we will be looked down upon!"
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Your Excellency is holding a snake-slaying sword, and a giant dragon awakens in Wuguan. You are full of righteousness and have the demeanor of a king. This is God's will!"
Yu Yi sighed and said, "I thought you drank too much today, so I'll say goodbye first!" After saying that, he left without looking back, but Kong Ming's words kept echoing in his mind.
In Ye County, Cao Pi gathered the civil and military forces to discuss matters. Suddenly someone came to report, "Shu General Meng Da came with a dozen cavalry to surrender."
Cao Pi quickly called in and asked, "Are you pretending to surrender when you come here like this?"
Mengda paid his respects and said: "Because I did not go to rescue Guan Yu, the King of Hanzhong punished me and prepared to kill me. Because he was afraid of sin, he came to surrender and had no other intention."
Cao Pi didn't believe it was safe yet, so he suddenly reported that Liu Feng had come to attack Xiangyang with 50,000 troops and horses, specifically to single out Meng Da for a fight.
Cao Pi had an idea and said: "If you are really ready to surrender to us, Cao Wei, you can go to Xiangyang now to get Liu Feng's head. Only then can I believe it."
Meng Da said: "This is very simple. I will use my interests to persuade him. I can make Liu Feng surrender voluntarily without using any troops."
Cao Pi was very happy, so he appointed Meng Da as a regular attendant of Sanqi, General Jianwu, and Marquis of Pingyang Ting. He led the new city's governor and went directly to guard Xiangyang and Fancheng.
It turned out that Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang were already in Xiangyang and were about to take them to Shangyong and other places. After Meng Da arrived, he talked with everyone about the ceremony, and then sent people to find out that Liu Feng was camping fifty miles away from the city.
Meng Da knew the exact situation, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Feng in the Shu army camp. After reading it, Liu Feng was very angry and said angrily: "It's this old thief who has delayed the friendship between our uncle and nephew. You have come to drive a wedge between our father and son again, making me an unfaithful and unfilial person!" So he tore up the letter and killed the envoy directly. On the next day, he went to the battle to challenge.
Meng Da was very angry when he knew that Liu Feng had torn up the letter and killed the envoy. He led his troops to fight. The two formations faced each other. Liu Feng stood on horseback under the gate, pointed a knife at Meng Da and cursed: "You, a traitor to the country, dare to talk nonsense!"
Meng Da sneered: "You are about to die, are you still stubborn?"
Liu Feng was furious, picked up his weapons, and attacked in the direction of Meng Da. Meng Da was no match. In just three rounds, he defeated Meng Da. Liu Feng took advantage of the situation and chased him for more than 20 miles. Suddenly, he shouted, "In advance, The ambushed soldiers and horses came out, Xiahou Shang came to kill on the left, Xu Huang came to kill on the right, Meng Da also led the soldiers and horses to fight back, the three armies attacked, Liu Feng was defeated and fled, and returned to Shangyong overnight. The Wei army attacked from behind. Liu Feng rushed to the city and shouted, and arrows were shot down from the city.
Shen Dan shouted from the enemy tower: "We have surrendered to Cao Wei!"
Liu Feng was very angry and prepared to attack the city, but the Wei army chased him from behind. Liu Feng had no choice but to escape towards Fangling. He saw Wei flags planted above the city.
Shen Yi waved the flag on the enemy tower, and suddenly a group of troops came out from behind the city. The flag read "Right General Xu Huang".
Liu Feng couldn't resist and could only escape towards Xichuan. Xu Huang took advantage of the situation to pursue him. Only less than a hundred cavalry were left among Liu Feng's troops. When they arrived in Chengdu, they went to see the King of Hanzhong and cried and worshiped on the ground. Explained what happened before.
Liu Bei was very angry after hearing this and said angrily: "Why do you come to see me with your appearance!"
Liu Feng said: "What happened to my uncle was not because his son didn't save him, but because Meng Da came to dissuade him!"
Liu Bei became even more angry and said: "You eat food and wear clothes, and you are not a puppet. Why do you listen to slander?" He was ordered to be dragged out and beheaded.
Yu Yi and Kong Ming happened to have something to do and were going to see Liu Bei. They saw a general outside the door who was about to be beheaded.
Yuyi asked: "Who is that person?"
He replied: "He is your eldest brother's adopted son, and his name is Liu Feng!"
Yu Yi thought that the murder of Guan Yu and his son by Soochow was the result of multiple factors. Shangyong's failure to send reinforcements had little impact on the outcome, so he stepped forward to dissuade him. Unfortunately, it was too late. Liu Feng was beheaded and the ground was covered with blood.
Entering the palace, Kong Ming summoned Meng Da to surrender to Liu Feng. Liu Feng killed the envoy and destroyed the letter. Liu Bei felt regretful and missed Guan Yu even more, so he fell ill again. Yu Yi had no choice but to kill Guan Yu. Liu Bei helped him back to his room and left the hall, thus delaying his plan to attack Soochow.
After the crisis in Xiangyang was resolved, Cao Pi began to reorganize the imperial court. Since he ascended the throne, he rewarded civil and military officials and various meritorious people. He also took 300,000 troops to patrol the south of Peiguoqiao County and the countryside. The elders in the middle of the road walked to the road one after another, and the dust was flying. This was what Cao Pi imitated the emperor of the Han Dynasty and returned to his hometown in rich clothes and returned to the country of Pei.
At this time, someone reported that General Xiahou Dun was seriously ill. Cao Pi had no choice but to stop his southern tour plan and returned to Ye County. Unfortunately, Xiahou Dun had passed away, so he did not pay filial piety, but only paid tribute with heavy etiquette. Burial.
In August, someone reported that a phoenix suddenly flew from Shiyi County, a unicorn appeared in Linzi City, and a yellow dragon appeared in Ye County. So Zhonglang discussed it with Li Fu and Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi, and said : "All the auspicious signs that have appeared recently are actually symbols of Wei's intention to replace the Han Dynasty. We can arrange for King Wei to accept the abdication ceremony and allow Emperor Xian of Han to give up the throne to King Wei in front of the people of the world."
So the ministers united, including Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Xin Pi, Jia Xu, Liu Xie, Liu Ye, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huan Jie and other civil and military officials, more than 40 people, entered the residence of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty , reported to Emperor Xian of the Ming Han Dynasty and asked to give up the throne to Wei Wang Cao Pi.
Hua Xin was the first to come out and said: "Seeing that King Wei, since he came to the throne, his virtues have spread all over the world, and his kindness has spread to all things. It has surpassed ancient and modern times. Even Tang and Yu can't compare. We all discussed it and talked about Han Dynasty. The dynasty is coming to an end. I hope that your majesty can follow the methods of Yao and Shun and cede the mountains, rivers, and land to the king of Wei. This is in line with the people's hearts and is also the public opinion. Then your majesty can also enjoy the blessing of leisure. Our ancestors are very lucky, and all living beings are Fortunately, we negotiated this result, so I came to petition."
