Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 645 Cao Ren's Helplessness

"Master, everything has been arranged properly." After successfully completing all this, Deng Zhan found Cao Pi and reported the news to him.

At this time, Cao Pi had already made all preparations. After listening to Deng Zhan's report, he nodded with a satisfied smile on his face, and then said: "Zhan Fei, you have worked hard today. I will request a reward for you."

Then Cao Pi asked: "By the way, what about the emperor's imperial jade seal? This is a sacred object of the emperor, and it must not be lost."

"General Mo has already hidden it, and put it in a secret place with his own hands. Please rest assured, my lord." When Deng Zhan saw Cao Pi mentioning Yuxi, he was inexplicably nervous in the letter, but fortunately he was able to adjust quickly. Emotions, so he said calmly.

Cao Pi nodded, but then he said: "You'd better take Yuxi here and put it by my side. I'm always a little uneasy in my heart. No matter what, it's safest to bring Yuxi with me. You go and take it with you." Take the jade seal, I will guard it myself."

Hearing this, Deng Zhan groaned secretly in his heart, but he couldn't resist. No matter how strong his martial arts skills were, it would be absolutely difficult for him to escape and escape outside the city. Even if he could escape and send Yuxi to Liu He, outsiders It will also be said that he stole the jade seal and sent it to Liu He. In this case, both Liu He and he will be notorious and become the target of public criticism. There is only one way to get the jade seal first, and then think of a way in the future.

"Originally, I decided to go to the lord after stealing the jade seal this time, but I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns. From this point of view, I have to go to the country of Wa first to see if there are any There is a chance to steal the jade seal back."

It was with this thought in mind that Deng Zhan secretly prepared a small boat on the way to escape, but he did not expect that it was this small boat that played the most critical role, not only allowing him to escape, but also smoothly transporting the jade seal. Send it to Liu He.

Let’s say that when Cao Pi saw the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, his eyes suddenly became greedy. Genocide?

"Hehe, there is no such thing as a prince or general. Does this throne only belong to his Liu family? Thinking back then, Gaozu Liu Bang was just an ordinary gangster. Qun was able to occupy the throne and create a foundation for 400 years. Compared with my identity I don’t know how many times Liu Bang was taller back then, so why couldn’t he be in this list? This time my army fled to Japan and lost any contact with the Central Plains. Even if the emperor died halfway, how would Liu He know? Wait until I Holding the jade seal and establishing myself as the emperor, my position in the country of Wa has already been consolidated. I take advantage of the geographical advantages of the country of Wa, coupled with Sima Zhongda's ingenuity, so what if Liu He comes with an army of 20 to [-]? What's more, Liu He is now I’m afraid I also want Emperor Han to die, right? Then he can be his emperor in a dignified way. As for the imperial jade seal, if he needs it, I don’t mind exchanging the jade seal for peace, even if I pay tribute to him. , as long as he is willing to recognize my status as the lord of the Wa kingdom, everything doesn't matter, without the jade seal of Chuanguo, I can still carve a jade seal myself."

When Cao Pi thought of this, he immediately felt his blood boiling. Although he was about to travel across the ocean to the Wa Kingdom, he would eventually establish an empire. Once the Central Plains changes, they can call back at any time. Maybe in three or two generations, the old Cao family will still become the master of the world.

Holding the jade seal in his hand, Cao Pi was full of pride and ambition, and he didn't care about the difficulties in front of him. He led his soldiers in high spirits and gave the order to set off.

In fact, Cao Pi's plan was to set fire to the city while fleeing, and not leave anything for Liu He, but after all, it takes time for Cao Pi to flee. If he really set fire, he would definitely alarm people outside the city. Zhao Yun's army, I'm afraid it will really die at that time, so Cao Pi didn't dare to make the slightest move, so as not to startle the snake. At the same time, in order to avoid Zhao Yun's pursuit, he left Cao Ren to lead [-] soldiers to stay in the city. It is necessary to use an empty city strategy to confuse and hold Zhao Yun outside the city so that he can retreat calmly.

"Uncle, as long as it lasts for three days, we will retreat immediately. Now my nephew is short of good generals, so I can't do without you." Before leaving, Cao Pi held Cao Ren's hand and said solemnly.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Ren will remember it." Cao Ren was also deeply moved by Cao Pi's deep affection and kindness. At the same time, he was also lamenting in his heart. From now on, he might never be able to set foot on this land again. Spend your old age in a wild land.

"That kind of life is simply unbearable. Even if I think about it, I feel that life is hopeless." Cao Ren is different from Cao Pi. He is old now, and he is no longer as aggressive as he was when he was young. It’s all about taking care of your life, if you can allow it, it’s best to spend your old age in your hometown, even if it’s on the land of a big man, even if it’s not your hometown, you can bear it in your heart, but now you have to travel across the ocean to go Going to the Wa country, which he had never been to before, made him feel extremely bitter.

"It was all because of Zihuan's insistence that he forced the Son of Heaven to be canonized as king, which angered Liu He. As a result, the country was ruined and his family was destroyed. Now he can only live in a foreign country. Even if he is called king in another country, how can he compare Do you want to be a shepherd here? Brother Meng De, if you knew there would be such a day, would you regret passing the position to him? If it was passed to Zijian, maybe there would be no change today."

In the night, Cao Ren watched the group of people go far away, and his heart was filled with sadness, but he also knew that, judging from the current situation, if he didn't escape, he would only die. His loyalty to Cao Cao, wanting him to become Liu He's general like Zhou Yu, and swearing allegiance to Liu He to the death, is something he would not want to die.

In fact, Cao Ren sometimes thought that he might as well fight Zhao Yun to the death here, and would rather die than go to Japan, but he knew that his elder brother Cao Cao was afraid of Sima Yi when he was alive, and he knew that without his help, his nephew might not be able to survive at all. He is not Sima Yi's opponent, so in order to help Cao Ren consolidate his position, he must save his life and go to the Wa Kingdom.

"Sometimes people can't afford to die even if they want to. This is the greatest tragedy of human beings." Cao Ren gave a wry smile, and the expression on his face became even more helpless.
