Chapter 173: How did the princess of Jiangdong become the queen? !
Cao Mengde only felt a sharp pain in his back!
How can this be……

How dare the emperor?!

Blood continued to flow out from the wound on his back, and Cao Mengde felt himself becoming weaker...

Time seems to slow down.

Cao Cao could see the astonishment and panic of the people in the field. They could not believe that this would happen even more than he did.

At this moment, the emperor was more ferocious than ever before. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and the dagger in his hand, which had been stained red with blood, stabbed at him again...

The incident happened too suddenly and the scene was too shocking. Everyone was stunned and at a loss. At this moment, no one could save Cao Mengde.

Snapped! ~
At the critical moment, a big hand grabbed the emperor's arm and stopped the weapon that was about to stab him...

Only he, Cao Mengde, can save himself!
"Your Majesty, why did you kill me?!" Cao Cao was trembling all over with anger.

The emperor seemed to want to vent all the grievances he had been holding back for decades: "If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die!!"

"You thief Cao! Ah Wu is my brother. All I want is to meet him, but you tricked him into entering the city and surrounded and killed him with your army. You deserve to die!!"

Cao Mengde has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he is finally getting old.

Even though the emperor had lived in the deep palace for a long time, he was still in his prime after all. His anger burst out at this moment and turned into power, forcing Cao Meng to retreat continuously.

Just a moment of carelessness, Cao Mengde fell to the ground and was pounced on by the emperor with a sharp knife in his hand.

……

……

The sun sets in the west,

The total number of Cao's troops inside and outside Xuchang and the troops from Jingzhou was more than 50,000. They had already set up camp outside the city, and the city gates were blocked on all sides.

Keep an eye on each other and don't allow the other to enter the city...

Sun Zhongmou looked at the sun which was about to set and felt extremely anxious.

What's more, the sounds of fighting had already been heard in the city, and it was obvious that it was a gunfight.

Sun Quan had absolute confidence in Liu Wu's military power, and knew that he would be able to protect himself no matter what happened.

But this is Xuchang City after all...

If Liu Wu were to make a mistake, his sister might also...

And! If Liu Wu was gone, how could Sun Zhongmou return to Jiangdong?!

If Liu Wu was really buried in Xuchang City, not to mention whether he could return to Jiangdong, he might not even be able to save his life.

You have to know that in the Battle of Chibi, Sun Zhongmou, as the lord of Jiangdong, decided to fight against Cao Cao and appointed Zhou Yu as the commander-in-chief. However, a fire destroyed Cao Mengde's 800,000 troops!

"If Zilie dies, I, Sun Zhongmou, will probably be beheaded by Cao Mengde."

Out of concern for his own safety, Sun Quan was extremely anxious...

At this time,

Wei Yan rode back to the camp.

Sun Quan could no longer hold back: "General Wenchang!"

"You should know that General He Jin was lured to his death by the Ten Eunuchs?!"

He Jin was careless at the beginning. He was tricked into entering the palace alone, and was killed by the eunuchs...

Wei Yan also had a look of worry at this time. He had been eager to lead his troops into the city, but was hindered by Liu Wu's instructions before he left.

After hearing what Sun Quan said, he could no longer suppress his anger, but still said, "Master Jian is in the camp. Let's go and discuss it with him!"

At that moment Sun Quan also mounted his horse, and the two of them whipped their horses, and in a moment they arrived at Jian Yong's camp.

Without waiting for Wei Yan and Sun Quan to speak, Jian Yong said directly: "I know why you two came to see me."

"I'll just say one thing. You can all hear the noise in the city. It would take at least thousands of people fighting each other to make such a noise. If it was just the lord himself, how could there be such a big noise?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan suddenly realized...

Liu Wu must have a backup plan in the city!
Otherwise, how could there be such a big commotion?

If they just surrounded and killed Liu Wu, no matter how much trouble they put in, it would not have come to this. It would have definitely been a fight between the two armies.

In Xuchang City, Liu Wu must have made arrangements long ago...

At that moment, Wei Yan finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.

However, Sun Zhongmou was still a little worried: "After all, this Xuchang City has been managed by Cao Cao for many years, and many of Cao's generals followed Cao Cao into the city..."

Jian Yong laughed: "General Wenchang, Marquis Wu, haven't you noticed that you haven't seen Generals Guan and Zhao in recent days?"

"But remember when the lord entered the city, two carriages followed him into the city, one of which was the sister of Marquis Wu."

"In the other car, where is the Jingzhou Pang family girl..."

That's it!

Now Wei Yan was completely relieved.

The city had been prepared in advance, and with the protection of two peerless generals, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, Liu Wu would definitely be able to escape danger this time.

Maybe, he will give Cao Cao a good beating!
Then Sun Quan said, "Master Jian, Cao Mengde is an old and cunning man, and Zilie is too young. I am really worried!"

"He Jin borrowed the power of his uncle Yuan Yuan and seized the power of the regent. He relied on the power of the empress dowager and the power of the heroes. In the end, he failed and became a eunuch. He died and his achievements were wasted. He is a tragedy for the world!"

"Yuan Shao, who had three dukes in his four generations, dominated Hebei. Gongsun Zan was brave and good at fighting, and conquered the grasslands. Lü Wenhou was invincible in his time and was known as the Flying General. There was also Yuan Shu, who was the number one duke in the world at that time, spanning three states of Yang, Yu, and Xu, and eleven counties. At that time, he had more than 200,000 soldiers and eight million people under his command. He even ascended the throne and became an emperor, but he was still defeated by Cao Cao. In the end, he couldn't even drink a bowl of honey water!"

"These people were all defeated by Cao Mengde!"

Sun Zhongmou finished his words.

But after he finished speaking, he realized that Wei Yan was looking at him with a strange look, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed... Although he was exaggerating the seriousness of the situation and Cao Cao's strength, after all, he did win the Battle of Red Cliffs...

These princes all lost to Cao Mengde, but Sun Quan was the one who actually stopped Cao Mengde's progress...

I just praised those people so highly, as if I had unconsciously elevated myself to an incredible height.

Jian Yong rolled his eyes at Sun Quan speechlessly and said, "Liu Wu is not the butcher He Jin, nor is he the short-sighted and indecisive Yuan Shao, nor is he the arrogant and domineering Gongsun Zan, nor is he the arrogant and complacent Lu Bu who relies on his military strength, nor is he the extravagant and dissolute Yuan Shu!"

"He is braver than Lu Bu and more cunning than Cao Cao. He must have great ambitions to take this risk alone!"

"You still don't know enough about the Lord. I, Jian Xianhe, have watched him grow up, and I already knew that this boy is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"My lord has always called me uncle. My lord is Wen Chang's sworn brother and the brother-in-law of Marquis Wu. As a relative and friend, we have ten thousand reasons to enter the city, but as his subjects, we must listen to my lord!"

After hearing the last part, Sun Quan suddenly felt something was wrong.

How did I, Sun Zhongmou, become a minister of Liu Wu? ! !
The sun has completely set.

The city also fell into silence.

People outside the city didn't know what was happening inside the city.

Wei Yan, Jian Yong, Sun Quan and others are destined to be sleepless tonight...

……

……

Tianming,

The sun is rising,

The morning sun illuminates the earth!
In Chengguang Hall,

The emperor sat high on the dragon couch, with a complicated expression...

Self-owned eunuchs report number:

"Announce, all officials to enter the court!!~"

"Call all officials to the court!!~"

The gates of the palace were opened layer by layer.

On the Imperial Road,
The crowd of gentlemen surged forward like a tide.

……

Boom~!~
The gates of Xuchang were wide open.

Someone on the city wall reported:

"Wei Yan, the governor of Nanjun! Jian Yong, the clerk of Jingzhou! Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, enter the city!"

Wei Yan immediately selected two thousand soldiers and horses, and seeing that no one was trying to stop him, he simply led them all into Xuchang City.

Wei Yan, Jian Yong, and Sun Quan were all in parallel.

When we passed through the long corridor and entered the city of Xuchang, we didn't see any mess.

But the smell of blood that permeated the air and had not yet completely dissipated was still detected by Wei Yan.

"Two thousand soldiers are still too few..." Wei Yan thought to himself, and was about to order a few thousand more soldiers to come in.

But at this time,
A carriage slowly approached.
Lift the car curtain.

A young woman got out of the car and said, "Uncle, Wenchang, Second Brother, Zilie asked me to pick you up."

At that moment, several people were somewhat stunned.

What exactly happened in the city?
But at this time, with the appearance of Sun Shangxiang, all doubts completely disappeared.

Sun Quan rode forward to ask what happened, and saw a general riding a horse. It was Cao Ren, who had defended Gucheng alone. He bowed to Sun Shangxiang and said, "Queen, please go back to your residence and rest."

"These three people will also enter the palace during the morning court today. I will take them to Chengguang Palace now!"

Sun Quan paused.

This is obviously the princess of Jiangdong, where did the queen come from?
……

……

Inside the palace.

A large crowd of officials came to Chengguang Hall along the imperial road.

In the end, it stopped in front of hundreds of steps of imperial stairs.

"Ming Gong..."

It was Xun Yu, and he was supporting someone.

"No need, I'm not going to die yet..." Cao Mengde pushed away Xun Yu's support. At this time, his face looked very bad and his lips were pale.

He walked forward step by step, and all the officials stopped behind him...

When Cao Mengde stepped onto the first step of the imperial stairs, he glanced to the side.

There was a young figure like him at this moment, just stepping onto the first step of the imperial stairs.

The man happened to look over and said, "Mr. Cao, please come in."

Cao Mengde sneered: "You too!"

The two of them then climbed up the stairs together, moving forward hand in hand. After they had climbed up more than ten steps, the other gentlemen began to slowly catch up with them.
