Chapter 619: Cheng Yu was counted as a tiger before he died
Cheng Pu-Huang Gai-Han Dang's death was like a small stone throwing on a calm lake, with only ripples, and no sound. ""%net (_") Qi Wu pop-up window Qi Jiangdong everyone was preparing to send troops to attack Liu Zhang. How could anyone pay attention to a few veteran generals who had no military power? Of course, these veteran generals also had friends, but their friends were either transferred to the place by Sun Quan and could not come to the place, or they had to go with the army. The matter at hand was very busy and they could only come and go in a hurry!
Under Sun Quan's deliberateness, the residences of several old generals were deserted, but the generals in Jiangdong did not forget these elders. The generals might not be able to attend, or they might be coming and going in a hurry, but they set up spiritual positions for several old generals at home or in the army for sacrifice, especially those who have received favors from several old generals and have followed several old generals. Only those so-called scholars, great scholars, disdain for the deaths of several old generals - Gu.
When Cheng Pu's death was delivered to Liu Zhang with the Xiakou war report, Liu Zhang felt a lot of emotion. He immediately ordered Lu to send Cheng Pu's body to Chang'an. But just before the body was transported, the Intelligence Department received the news of Huang Gai-Han Dang's death. Liu Zhang was helpless to transmit the information back to Chang'an!
For Jiangdong, Cheng Pu and the other two were just generals, but for Sun, the three were like relatives. When the information arrived in Chang'an, Sun Ce-Sun Shangxiang-Sun Lang was extremely sad, and even Mrs. Sun fainted due to sadness. Sun Ce and other three juniors had deep feelings for these three veterans, who were like masters and fathers, especially Sun Ce, who had fought with the three people in the world!
Thinking of the love of the three veteran generals for themselves, the Sun brother and sister decided to hold a grand memorial ceremony, and they were mourning as the children of the three veterans! Although the three veteran generals were not under Liu Zhang, Sun Shangxiang was the princess of Qin. She held the funeral as a filial daughter. Who dared not to give face to Chang'an officials? Cheng Pu's body has not arrived yet, and the round of sacrifice has passed!
The Sun Mansion in Chang'an was covered with white cloth, and the door was covered with large silhouettes. Compared with the gates in Jiangdong, the Sun Mansion was crowded with gates. Sun Shangxiang knelt in front of the spirit with his young son, and the monuments of three old generals were placed on the altar in front of her. When Cheng Pu's body arrived, it was carried directly into the hall. Sun Ce-Sun Lang cleaned Cheng Pu, changed into new armor and started to guard the spirit. This was guarding forty-nine days. Fortunately, the weather had already started to cool down, otherwise the body would smell bad!
During this period, Jiangdong also sent an envoy to ask Liu Zhang for Cheng Pu's body, but Liu Zhang directly sent the envoy to Chang'an without saying a word.
Looking at the memorial ceremony of the Sun Mansion in Chang'an, the envoy was ashamed and embarrassed to speak again. He could only run back to Jiangdong in shame and tell Sun Quan what he saw and heard.
When the envoy returned to Jiangdong, Sun Quan was holding a meeting. Seeing that he could not get the body back, Sun Quan wanted to use this matter to write an article, so he asked the envoy to report the situation in public. The envoy really didn't want to say it, but at Sun Quan's insistence, he had to report it truthfully. After he finished speaking, Sun Quan's face turned green!
In the strange eyes of the ministers in Jiangdong, the envoy made Sun Quan's murderous intent, and his legs were trembling. Fortunately, Sun Quan did not make things difficult for him, but just made him not to mention the experiences in Chang'an again. As for Cheng Pu's body, since Sun Lang and Sun Shangxiang were worshipped, Sun Quan no longer asked for it. Of course, this was also the envoy's cleverness and did not say what Sun Ce was in Chang'an. However, in a battle not long after, the envoy died by a trap. I don't know whether it was a human or an accident!
The uproar caused by the death of the veteran general in Jiangdong ended here. The ministers of Jiangdong never mentioned this matter again, and Sun Quan was happy to pretend to be stupid. Only in Chang'an was there was a hint of sadness. In order to soothe Sun Shangxiang's pain, Liu Zhang specially granted Cheng Pu a burial ceremony as a county marquis and established a tomb for Huang Gai-Han Dang to sacrifice and mourn future generations! However, the death of the veteran general, which seemed to have no influence, had actually planted a seed in the hearts of the ministers in Jiangdong, but I don't know when this seed will sprout!
Just when Jiangdong was slightly turbulent due to the tragedy of the veteran, Sima Yi had already retreated to Runan with his army. In order to show his trust in Sima Yi, Cao Cao led everyone to welcome him in person, and Sima Yi also showed fear and fear. The appearance of the two - deputy monarch and ministers - made many people relieved. Only those who were close to the center of power knew that this was all an illusion!
Join hands to enter the conference hall, and when Cao Cao sat in the upper head, Sima Yi took the initiative to sit in the second position on the left head, even if the first position was empty. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhongda, now Zhongde is ill, you can sit in the first place!"
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "King, sitting above the two Lords Xun, I am already frightened, so how dare I sit in the first place? Besides, Lord Cheng is my veteran, and we are the juniors, so we naturally have to respect him. Now, he is just sick, and there will always be a heaven that can heal. How can I occupy his position? This position is better for Lord Cheng to come and sit!"
"Cough cough... a series of coughs sounded. With the help of several eunuchs, Cheng Yu walked into the conference hall. He smiled and said, "Zhongda, I am weak and it is already the best time to go there. I don't know when I will be here. You should take over this position!"
"Mr. Cheng, I'm just sick, why are you so discouraged? I heard that Huang Zhong, the general under Liu Zhang, is nearly 60 years old, and still doesn't accept his old age. He can still pull the four stones. You are only 60 years old, and you can still be inferior to Huang Zhong? Rest in peace for a few days, you will definitely recover!" Looking at Cheng Yu, who was withered, Sima Yi had long seen that he was almost exhausted and could only comfort him!
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "Zhongda doesn't need to comfort me, I naturally know my situation! Now, our army is in a critical situation and needs Zhongda's wisdom to help the king pacify the world. Since I am no longer able to give advice to the king, I cannot occupy a position. Zhongda, sit down!"
"Far away... Sima Yi hesitated. He looked at the Cao generals around him, and Cao Cao again, gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of virtue is here? How dare you take this high position? Lord Cheng, don't make things difficult for me!"
Cheng Yu was furious when he heard this. He pushed the waiter away and asked in a deep voice: "Sima Yi, do you have any other intentions?"
"Sir, why are you saying this?" Sima Yi was shocked. When Cheng Yu said this, he felt that the temperature in the hall had dropped a lot. The Cao generals around him looked at him with a cold look, and even Wei Yan-Wen Pin, who was standing behind him, was breathless!
"If there is no unfair intention, is it because the king is not worthy of your assistance?" Cheng Yu would not let Sima Yi go, and he asked another question that made Sima Yi sweat coldly.
"The king is one of the few wise rulers in the world. It is a supreme honor to be able to serve under his command. How can he not be worthy? Lord Cheng, please stop playing with me!" I found that Cao Cao's eyes showed a cold mulberry and Sima Yi quickly bowed and begged for mercy. He was in Cao's camp, and he didn't want to be killed by everyone with his eyes.
"Since the king is the wise ruler of the world, Zhongda should take this position!" Cheng Yu pointed to the seat and his face was full of smiles of conspiracy, which made Sima Yi quite unhappy.
Unwilling to be plotted like this, Sima Yi asked with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, I really don't understand. What does it have to do with the assistant king when I take the first place?"
Cheng Yu did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Zhongda, do you know what the left head represents?"
"This... Sima Yi was stunned - and said: "This is the most noble position besides the king, which symbolizes the glory of the identity car!"
"Wrong! This position represents unparalleled trust!" Cheng Yu said proudly, "Everyone here, in terms of military strategy, I am not as good as Gongda; in terms of internal affairs, I am not as good as Wen Ruo. I can be above them, not only because I am older than them, but also my loyalty to the king! Maybe you will say, who is not loyal under the king? But I want to say that my loyalty is definitely higher than them, because I support the king unconditionally, even if the king wants to destroy the world! Zhongda, you are an omnipotent, and with your personality, you are prone to jealousy. I asked you to sit at the top of the left, just to let you take over my loyalty and become an indispensable arm of the king. I wonder if you are willing?"
"I... Sima Yi opened his mouth. He really didn't expect Cheng Yu to wait here. If he said he would be willing, he would not betray him again in the future, otherwise he would be despised by the people of the world. If he said he would not be willing, what would be waiting for him would be a place where death would be without a burial place. Cao Cao's knife was not a vegetarian!
"What? Don't you want to?" Cheng Yu bared his teeth and looked at Sima Yi coldly. The expression on his face was even more gloomy than when he came up with the "human" strategy back then!
"I... am willing to... swallow the water, and Sima Yi responded with difficulty.
He knew the car in the world, and he didn't want to die! Cheng Yu was just forcing him, but behind Cheng Yu, there was Cao Cao who was sharpening his knife!
"So good!" Cheng Yu's face turned red, and he smiled and said, "Since you are willing to take over me and continue to be loyal to the king, so let me swear!"
"Just as Cheng Gong said!" Sima Yi sighed helplessly. He stood up, closed his eyes, raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, and shouted loudly: "Huang Tian is above, Houtu is a lesson. I, Sima Yi, will be loyal to King Cao Cao of Wei in my lifetime. If I violate this oath, I will die under the chaos of the sword!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yu pointed to the first person on the left and shouted: "Zhongda, please sit down!"
"My husbands, I'm not polite!" After this, Sima Yi stopped refusing. He sat in the left head, just like the leader of the strategists! But he was extremely unhappy. He looked at Cheng Yu's eyes with a hint of darkness. He gritted his teeth in his heart and said: Old guy, you dare to plot against me, sooner or later, let your whole family die ugly!
As a person becomes a virgin, how could Cheng Yu not see the resentment in Sima Yi's eyes? But he didn't care, because he knew that his body could not resist it for long. Death was like a lamp that went out, and future generations would be blessed. Cheng Yu was over 60 years old, so how could he not see it? If he had any regrets in his heart, he just couldn't see Cao Cao's rule - the world!
"King, I'm leaving!" Turning around and looking at Cao Cao, Cheng Yu's eyes revealed a hint of care and warmth. This is not only the love of a master and servant, but also the meaning of a brother. In ancient times, there would be two ministers like brothers around any wise lord, but no one would know about it!
"Zhongde... Cao Cao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was about to lose something. He stood up suddenly, as if he couldn't bear to leave Cheng Yu. But he stretched out his hand, but he didn't know what to say. He could only stare at Cheng Yu's old face and hold back the tears in his eyes!
"King, I'm just going back to recuperate. Why do you have this daughter's attitude? Don't make people laugh!" Looking at Cao Cao's excited expression, Cheng Yu was also very moved. After more than 20 years of being together, he couldn't bear to part with Cao Cao, but who can avoid birth, old age, sickness and death? Cheng Yu rubbed his red eyes and showed off his smile!
"Zhongde, go and rest first!" Knowing that Cheng Yu was in poor health, Cao Cao would not let him continue to work hard. Although the doctor had already given a diagnosis, Cao Cao hoped that he would get better!
"King, I'm waiting for your good news!" He bowed his hand and, with the help of the waiter, Cheng Yu walked out of the hall, but Cao Cao felt that he was getting further and further away. He opened his mouth, and Cao Cao did not call him again after all!
The hall was filled with silence, and everyone was moved by Cheng Yu's loyalty, but Sima Yi was moved on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
However, Sima Yi's attitude is not important. What is important is that Cao Cao remembers Cheng Yu's contribution! After a long time of force, Cao Cao returned to his spirit and said, "Everyone, Zhongde is weak and has gone back to recuperate. We cannot waste too much time for him. Now Zhongda has arrived, and the Qin army is also at the city. Tell me, how should we resist the attack of the Qin army?"
"Resist?" Sima Yi frowned and said, "Master, I am a newcomer. Can you ask any adult to explain the situation of the war for me?"
"Of course! Zitong, tell Zhongda about the current situation!" He smiled and nodded. Although he was still a little afraid of Sima Yi, Cao Cao dared to use him with a vow. Jiang Ji carefully explained the situation of the battle, and Sima Yi suddenly fell into deep thought!
"King, although the Qin army's equipment is powerful, it is not invincible. I have a plan, and maybe it can temporarily suspend the crisis!" Sima Yi pinched his chin and thoughtful, but his words made everyone happy!
"What tricks Zhong has? Come!" Cao Cao was already forced to breathe by the Qin army's equipment. He heard that Sima Yi had a countermeasure, so he was overjoyed!
Sima Yi smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. You all want to solve the Qin army's equipment perfectly, so you ignore this method! The king can build a military camp outside the city and build a large camp at the opposite corners, which is a response. If the Qin army wants to use the equipment to continue to attack the city, it must be within a range of four hundred steps. Our army's Dazhai is connected into pieces, and the distance of four hundred steps outside the city is included in the offensive and defense range. Then, the Qin army's equipment can only attack our army's Dazhai and cannot hurt the city. As long as the city is there, the Dazhai still has as many as it wants?"
"Zhongda is indeed a great talent!" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this. As for the Qin army attacking Dazhai, the few people in Cao's army would die, no one cares. Now the most important thing is to block the equipment of the Forest Army!
Since it was Sima Yi's proposal, it would be natural for him to carry out. Outside Runan City, Cao's army established five large camps. The siege was besieged and the Cao army stationed 200,000 troops, led by Cao Ren-Caohong-Xahoudun-Xahouyuan. The Nanzhai was defended by Wei Yan-Wenpin. The Xizhai was stationed by Yan Liang-Wenchou. The Beizhai, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were willing to let go. The Eastzhai, because of the ban-Gao Shun guarding the road to Shouchun! Time, the city of Runan City was like an iron barrel. Liu Zhang's siege equipment could no longer touch the city. Unless the Dazhai guarding the four corners were removed, these siege equipment could only attack the military camps under the city!
"It's wonderful!" Standing on the top of the city and looking at the surrounding military camps, Cao Cao smiled happily, and the depression for several months seemed to be wiped out. Now, the Qin army's siege equipment could no longer pose a threat to Runan City, and he could sleep peacefully. However, God seemed to be making a joke with him. When he was happiest, a basin of cold water drenched his body!
"King, Lord Cheng is critically ill!" A small school rushed to the top of the city and said something that made Cao Cao feel cold all over!
"Zhongde?!" Cao Cao was stunned and immediately ran off the city and headed towards Cheng Yu's bedroom. At this time, Cheng Yu was already dying. He went to the hall to plot against Sima Yi, and had exhausted his last strength.
"King, are you here?" As if he had a premonition, Cheng Yu opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Cao Cao with a sad face, but showed a bright smile!
"Zhongde, how are you doing? You must not have anything to do!" Holding Cheng Yu's dry hand, Cao Cao's eyes finally couldn't help it.
"King, you are a hero, how can you shed tears!" He stretched out his trembling hand and wiped away the tears from Cao Cao's face. Cheng Yu smiled and said, "A person who is fifty is not considered a heaven. I am nearly seventy years old, so I am considered longevity. Even if I go today, it's not a pity. I just can't watch the king dominate the world, and I'm a little regretful!"
"Zhongde, you must be well. How can you not look at me and rule the world? When I rule the world, how can you not be by your side?" Holding Cheng Yu's hand, Cao Cao burst into tears. Heroes are also humans and have feelings. Perhaps Cao Cao is usually very cold and even a little heartless, but he still cannot give up his own people!
Cheng Yu said with a smile on his face: "Master, I really don't want to leave at this time, but I have no choice. God will not let me wait any longer! Now, I can leave with peace of mind! With Sima Yi's help, if you are still defeated, even if I am alive, it's useless. However, if you defeat, be careful of Sima Yi. When he swears, he will play a trick. If you are gone, he will usurp the Cao family's territory...
Seeing that Cheng Yu had a dying breath after he finished speaking, Cao Cao shouted: "Zhongde, you can't leave me behind! As long as you are alive, I will have the confidence to defeat Liu Zhang."
"Master, goodbye..." Cheng Yu shook his head, and tears slid from the corner of his eyes, and his hands were hanging weakly.
"No... I screamed and remembered that Cao Cao could only hug Cheng Yu's body and cried loudly.
