……

And just when Lu Bu and Gao Shun were anxious to ask Lin Yu for credit,

the other side.

The last city of Cao Wei—Xuduzhong,

Cao Pi was anxiously waiting for the news from the front line.

Half an hour ago, the flying pigeon from Hulao Pass flew back and told him the news—the two armies of Lu Bu and Gao Shun were attacking Hulao Pass!

Lin Yu's sudden attack, not to mention Cao Pi, even the scheming Taiwei Jia Xu was caught off guard.

At this time, Jia Xu was standing in front of Cao Pi, pacing back and forth, and said in a deep voice:

"It stands to reason that Overlord needs to recharge his batteries this year, and is not in a hurry to attack Hulao Pass."

"No matter what, he should wait until the spring of next year before coming to this Hulao Pass to raise troops."

"But why did he suddenly use force in winter this year to attack our pass?"

"The old minister is really puzzled!"

Since Jia Xu, who is well versed in people's hearts, couldn't figure this out, Cao Pi couldn't figure it out even more.

He could only say helplessly: "Heaven perishes me, Great Wei! Heaven perishes me, Great Wei!"

"There is no one among the million men in Wei who can stop Xiang Yu?"

At this moment, a notification came from outside the door:

"Report—!"

"Report to Your Majesty, General Cao Zhen has lost Hulao Pass,"

"Now I am leading the remnants of the defeated generals and returning to Xudu!"

When Cao Pi heard this, his face paled instantly, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

"what?"

"Hulao Pass... lost so soon?"

Jia Xu said helplessly:

"Hulao Pass has not been used all year round, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. It is not a strong pass at all."

"If Xiang Yu attacks again in the spring of next year, this Hulao Pass may last for a while,"

"But now that Xiang Yu is attacking suddenly, Hulao Pass will naturally not be able to stop him."

When Cao Pi heard the words, he wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only despair:

"Why? Now we only have the city of Xudu left!"

"How can this resist the army of Western Chu!"

Just when Cao Pi collapsed in despair,

A gust of fragrant wind blows,

I saw Queen Guo Zhao (Zhao Guo) walking out of the harem quickly, and came in front of Cao Pi and Jia Xu.

She looked flustered and said anxiously:

"His Majesty!"

"I heard that Hulao Pass has been breached?"

"Why is that so?"

"Why is that so?"

Cao Pi smiled wryly and said, "How do I know why this is so?"

"All I know is that the Overlord of Western Chu suddenly launched an attack on us!"

"It's like taking the wrong medicine!"

However, when it comes to this matter,

Zhao Guo felt guilty!

Because she knew that Lin Yu had taken the wrong medicine!

Everything has to do with her showing affection to Yin Man in the class group!

She flattered Yin Man in the group, obviously because she wanted to take refuge in the Great Qin Empire, and the students are not stupid, as long as they see through this, they will definitely tell Xiang Yu (Lin Yu).

Then, in order to prevent the last city of Wei State from taking advantage of Qin State, Lin Yu will definitely send troops to attack as soon as possible!

As a result,

It perfectly explained that the Western Chu army came to attack Hulao Pass!

"Could it be...all these soldiers and horses were attracted by me?"

Zhao Guo shouted wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal the truth!

Because, if Cao Pi knows,

It was Zhao Guo who attracted the army of Western Chu, so this queen who has fallen out of favor will undoubtedly die!

It's too late to say anything now,

Once the Hulao pass is broken, the Western Chu army will immediately approach the city!

Zhao Guo looked up at Cao Pi and Jia Xu, and asked nervously:

"For the current plan, what can I do?"

"How can we escape this disaster?"

Cao Pi said helplessly:

"I don't know either!"

He can only pin his hopes on the wily and calculating Jia Xu,

asked:

"Taiwei, my great Wei, is there any help?"

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, shook her head slowly, and said in a low voice:

"To be honest, with the current situation, I am afraid that even if Emperor Wu is resurrected, there is no way to recover."

After hearing this, Cao Pi was completely disheartened.

"This……"

Zhao Guo asked unwillingly:

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

"Is there really no hope of turning the situation around?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, then said with a deep face:

"It's not completely hopeless. In the current situation, we still have one last way."

Cao Pi hurriedly asked:

"What way?"

Zhao Guo also looked at Jia Xu expectantly.

Jia Xu pointed to the east and said in a deep voice:

"For the current plan, the last solution is to contribute to the country!"

Cao Pi was puzzled: "Taiwei, what is dedicating to the country?"

Jia Xu said:

"The so-called tribute to the country is to dedicate the Wei country to other countries in exchange for our self-protection."

"If Wei State is defeated by Chu State, then we are nothing but subjugated slaves,"

"But if we take the initiative to dedicate the State of Wei to the State of Qin, perhaps, the State of Qin will still treat us as guests!"

"Your Majesty, instead of waiting for Xiang Yu to break through the city,"

"It's better to take the initiative to dedicate Xu Du to Qin State. If you can get a half-time job in Qin State in the future, it will be better than being a prisoner in Chu State..."

Chapter 438 The scheming Jia Xu

Jia Xu really deserves to be called an old fox. He is well versed in the principles of human nature, and in a seemingly desperate situation, he found the only way out!

Now Wei State is fighting with Chu State, Qin State remains neutral,

Under the circumstances that it is impossible for the State of Wei to resist the State of Chu, the State of Qin has become the only savior of the State of Wei!

If they lose to Xiang Yu, then Cao Pi, Jia Xu and Queen Guo will all be prisoners!

No one treats prisoners well!

On the contrary, if you take the initiative to dedicate the city to Qin State, and then bow to Qin State,

Then maybe Qin Guo will regard Cao Pi and Jia Xu as guests of honor.

In fact, it was also for this reason that Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao.

Regardless of whether Cao Cao will treat Zhang Xiu kindly or not, at least Cao Cao will definitely treat Jia Xu kindly.

After all, Jia Xu is a counselor with a lot of skills, he just jumped out of a job.

After listening to Jia Xu's suggestion, Cao Pi fell into deep thought.

At the same time, his heart was full of shame!

The Great Wei Empire was built by his father, Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao, through hard work, bit by bit.

In the past, Cao Cao started from scratch, fought against the Xiongnu externally, and wiped out the world internally. Only then did Cao Cao unify the north and establish Cao Wei.

But it has just been passed down to his generation, so is Wei Guo going to hand it over to others?

As the successor of the Cao Wei Empire, it was difficult for Cao Pi to accept this result.

He looked at Jia Xu in despair, and asked in a deep voice:

"Taiwei, is this really the only way?"

"Is there no other way?"

"I really don't want to hand over the Great Wei Empire to others."

Jia Xu pierced it mercilessly:

"Your Majesty, where is the Great Wei Empire?"

"Now there is only one Xudu left in the Great Wei Empire!"

"Ninety percent of the land of the Great Wei Empire has been occupied by Xiang Yu,"

"Is not it?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Cao Pi was completely depressed!

The whole person knelt and sat on the main hall without saying a word!

and beside,

Zhao Guo agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion very much.

In fact, her previous thoughts were exactly the same as Jia Xu's,

It is also using the relationship with Yin Man and Zhao Xiaole of Qin State,

Give Xuchang in exchange for my own life.

At this moment, Zhao Guo hastily said to Jia Xu:

"Captain!"

"I think what you said is very true!"
