Chapter 89
"Since it's a demon way, just pull it down and chop it up!" Cao Cao waved his hand carelessly, showing his heroic qualities.

Dong Zhao stood up and remonstrated: "Zuo Ci's Taoism is well-known all over the world, killing him may hurt the king's virtue."

Heng Jie also remonstrated: "The ancient kings acted in accordance with benevolence and righteousness, and they never failed. Zuo Ci is a Taoist, and he entertains people with some illusions. The king's virtue is all over the world. Why should he care about the life and death of a Taoist?"

Xing Yi, Wu Zhi, Chen Qun, Wang Lang and others all stood up to persuade Cao Cao, hoping that his subordinates would be merciful and forgive Zuo Ci's life.

Cao Cao glanced at the crowd, laughed and said: "A mere Taoist, it's exhausting to talk about. Of course, a demon, just entertaining people with illusions, Ziwen is too nervous.

How about this, Zhongkang, drive this monster out, leave Ye County today, and travel around the world with him. "

Xu Chu promised loudly, and arranged for someone to drag Zuo Ci out.

The banquet continued, Ye Ke looked as usual, and returned to the table safely.

Cao Pi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Ziwen, you are too reckless, Zuo Ci is just a Taoist, and you use some magic tricks, but you treat him as a villain, hey! Be more careful in the future!"

Ye Ke sneered in his heart, but said: "What the second brother said is that Zhang has been outside the Great Wall for a long time, and every move he makes feels that there are always troublemakers trying to harm me."

"Hahaha..., Ziwen, you really have the mentality of a warrior! You must know that governing a big country is like a small fish, every move of the king is watched by everyone. It is easy to kill a Zuo Ci, but you are afraid that a wise man will not dare to go to him!"

Ye Ke remained calm, and said in his mouth: "The atmosphere in Ye County is still the second brother's, and Zhang still likes to ride outside the Great Wall."

Seeing Cao Pi's unconcealable joy, and watching the guests at the banquet drinking freely, Ye Ke secretly sneered.

When Ye Ke returned home, Mrs. Xin Xin Xianying heard about what happened at the banquet, so she came to ask her husband, "How does your husband feel?"

Ye Ke laughed loudly and said, "Second brother's position as the eldest son is as stable as Mount Tai. As I expected, Zijian and I will soon be entrusted outside."

Xin Xianying said: "My husband fought outside the Great Wall, his hands are full of barbarian blood, don't you want to go south to the Central Plains?"

Ye Ke said: "Father's year is sixty, and there is another windy birthday. I'm afraid it won't be a holiday. I can't afford to wait for this little time."

After hearing this, Xin Xianying bowed down immediately. From then on, she closed the door to thank the guests and never saw outsiders again.

Soon Cao Cao sent a decree to make Cao Pi, the son of King Wei, the general of the five senses, the champion Marquis Cao Zhang to be stationed in Fanyang, increase the number of food towns by one thousand, train soldiers, deter the outside of the Great Wall, and make Cao Zhi the Marquis of Linzi, and the fourth son Cao Xiong is the Marquis of Xiao Huai, and each of his disciples is entrusted with the land, and he is not allowed to return unless he is ordered.

Since the 22nd year of Jian'an, the world war started again. Liu Bei gained a firm foothold in Shu and began to attack the strategically important Hanzhong. Killing Xia Houyuan, Cao Jun was defeated.Afterwards, Cao Cao personally led an army to seize Hanzhong, but Liu Bei couldn't come out. The distance between Cao Jun and Liu Beijun was several months, and it was useless, so he abandoned Hanzhong.

In the 23rd year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south again, led his army to storm Ruxukou, defeated Sun Quan, and Sun Quan sent his captain Xu Xiang to surrender.

In the 24th year of Jian'an, the Battle of Xiangfan began. The Cao and Sun families joined forces to defeat Guan Yu's forces and carve up Jingzhou. Guan Yu was beheaded by Sun Quan and his head was sent to Xuchang.

In the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned to Luoyang, and his condition worsened. Knowing that his time was approaching, he called Cao Hong, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and other important military and state officials to come to his bed and tell the future.

Cao Hong and others paused and said: "Your Majesty is good at protecting the jade body, and he will soon be Huo Ran." Cao Cao said: "For more than [-] years, all the heroes have been wiped out. Only Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Western Shu have not been wiped out.

Gu is critically ill today, and can no longer talk to Qing and others, so I rely on family affairs.The eldest son Cao Ang, born of the Liu family, unfortunately died in Wancheng in his early years; now the Bian family has four sons: Pi, Zhang, Zhi and Xiong.The third son Zhi, who is the love of Gu's life, is vain, less honest, addicted to alcohol and indulgence, so he can't stand.The second son Cao Zhang, although bravely crowned the world, is not well-versed in literature and strategy; the fourth son Cao Xiong is too sick to survive.But the eldest son Cao Pi, who is honest and respectful, can inherit my business.Qing and others should assist him. "Cao Hong and others wept and led out.

After exhorting, he let out a long sigh and burst into tears.In a moment, he was exhausted and died.Life is 66 years old.

All civil and military officials mourned; on the one hand, they sent people to report the funeral to the son Cao Pi, the champion Hou Cao Zhang, Linzi Hou Cao Zhi, and Xiaohuai Hou Cao Xiong.

When Cao Pi heard of his father's death, he wept bitterly. He led officials, big and small, out of the city for ten miles, entered the city on the road, and stopped at the side hall.The bureaucrats hang filial piety and gather to cry in the hall.

The civil and military officials, headed by Shangshu Heqia, persuaded the son Cao Pi to succeed to the throne, and Cao Pi naturally wanted to make three concessions and three resignations.

And this news spread to Ye Ke in Youzhou at an extremely fast speed.

When Ye Ke saw the news, he immediately summoned soldiers and horses, called Chen Geng and Gao Tao, and said: "The two generals have fought with me for many years. of."

Chen Geng and Gao Tao said: "We firmly believe in the ambitions of the princes and marquises, and we will never betray them."

Ye Ke said: "The two generals have been with me for many years, so I told the truth that my father died in Luoyang, and the position of the son is still pending. I want to lead the army into Ye County and succeed the king of Wei. Are the two generals willing to follow? "

When Chen Geng and Gao Tao heard this, they first looked at each other in blank dismay. Didn't King Wei make Cao Pi his son?Why did Champion Hou say that the position of the son is pending?
But then I understood, this is the champion who wants to fight for the big position!
The two were overjoyed, looked at each other, and immediately knelt down to salute: "The final general is willing to go through fire and water with the champion, and he will do whatever he wants!"

They are naturally happy, because Ye Ke is the son of Cao Cao, if he succeeds to the throne of King Wei, there will be peace in the country.Coupled with his peerless martial arts, even the gates of the city wall cannot stop his steps, and Cao Pi is powerless to stop him at all!
And the officials of Ye County are mostly seeking merit, so why would they care whether King Wei is Cao Zhang or Cao Pi?
Ye Ke rectified his army and horses, and led five thousand cavalry under his command, and rushed all the way to Ye County.

At this time, Ye County was performing a good show of three concessions and three resignations. Suddenly someone reported: "The champion Hou led five thousand elite soldiers, galloping fast, and has arrived outside the city of Ye County."

Cao Pi was happy in his heart, when he heard the news suddenly, he was frightened, and hurriedly asked the officials: "The champion Hou Wuyong is the world's best, he came to Ye County, he must compete with me for the position, what should we do?"

The ministers looked at each other in dismay, and Jia Kui, the admonisher, stepped forward and said loudly: "Please go to see the champion. I only have a word. The discipline champion is ashamed to retreat and dare not enter the city."

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Only the doctor can get my third brother back."

Jia Kui led the order to go out of the city, met Ye Ke, and bowed his hands in salute: "Jia Kui, the doctor who advises, pays homage to the champion!"

Ye Ke snorted coldly and said, "Lead the way ahead, I want to pay homage to my father!"

Jia Kui said: "The prince worships his father, and the minister dare not stop him; it's just that the prince is here, is he here for the funeral, or is he here to fight for the throne?"
