Chapter 309: Xuchang City was captured and all the Xiongnu were killed! !
Xuchang, in the Prime Minister's Mansion,
"Liu Wu, Liu Wu..."

Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It seemed like it was only yesterday that the young man knelt on Wolonggang for three days and three nights.

On the snowy night when he fled to Gong'an, Kong Ming watched him go away. He knew at that time that he was extraordinary, but he didn't know that he would be so extraordinary.

"It's really unimaginable that he will inherit the throne..."

Zhuge Liang remembered that at that time Zhuge Liang wanted to keep Liu Wu for Liu Xuande, but Liu Wu said he wanted to take Zhuge Liang away.

Now he is the Prime Minister of Han, and Liu Wu will soon become the Emperor of Han.

In this way, from now on Liu Wu would be his real and only lord.

Even at this time, he had already begun to take care of matters related to Liu Wu's enthronement as emperor...

"Since I want to legitimately and honorably become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I have to consider many things."

"Liu Wu has been adopted into the lineage of the Han Dynasty. It is natural for him to inherit the throne in accordance with etiquette and law. However, in order to make the people of the world sincerely convinced, the old matter of the Golden Summit Agreement needs to be thoroughly announced. This matter can be done by the emperor."

"The change of the emperor is a major event. We must suppress the princes of the world and prevent the new dynasty from causing chaos. The north and south of Jingzhou, Huainan, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and even the Western Regions are all controlled by the King of Chu. There will be no chaos in these places."

"The Jiangdong Sun family will naturally support the marriage with the King of Chu."

"The biggest obstacle, Cao Mengde, is not important, because before the King of Chu enters Xuchang and ascends the throne, Cao Mengde must be completely defeated."

"If not, the so-called Golden Summit agreement, where the brother succeeds the brother, is just a fantasy!"

"Gongsun Du of Liaodong and Shi Xie of Jiaozhou are both in a safe corner. As long as the King of Chu ascends the throne, they dare not make any moves."

"The only one left is Liu Bei of Bashu, Uncle Liu..."

Zhuge Liang's expression became conflicted.

When Liu Wu ascended the throne and inherited the throne, the most important thing at that time was his face.

How noble is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
Especially since the Yan and Han dynasties lasted for four hundred years, their roots in the hearts of the people were so deep that the emperor of the Han Dynasty undoubtedly possessed both imperial power and divine authority.

If Liu Xuande starts to make trouble, it will be very bad.

If Liu Xuande is left alone, Emperor Liu Wu will become a laughing stock.

If they sent a large army to attack and destroy Liu Bei, not only would they be accused of patricide in the history books, but how would people in the world view their new emperor?
Kong Ming could not help but smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly. He had not expected that in the end, the biggest obstacle to Liu Wu's last step would still be Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

Zhuge Kongming then sat cross-legged, picked up a brush from the table, dipped it in ink, spread out a blank bamboo slip, and began to write.
[It has been a long time since we last met, and I haven’t heard about your recent situation. I miss you very much.]

[Zhuge Kongming, bows at the feet of the King of Nanzhong...]

【…】

After about half a cup of tea, Zhuge Liang stopped howling like a wolf, and when the ink on the bamboo slips dried, he sent someone to deliver them.

Walking in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence, Kong Ming felt a little annoyed. He sighed and whispered to himself, "I only hope that Uncle Liu can look down on me and behave himself."

"Otherwise, it would be like the collapse of heaven and earth..."

……

imperial city,

Outside Chengguang Hall,

Jian Yong walked around, gestured, and recorded something from time to time...

"The rules of succession naturally require that no one be left behind..."

"Before the King of Chu enters Xudu, the story of the Golden Summit Agreement must be spread thoroughly..."

"When the King of Chu enters Xu City, all officials must go out ten miles outside the city to welcome him..."

"When the King of Chu entered Xudu, he announced the Emperor's decree and praised the King of Chu's achievements..."

"All officials entered the imperial city first. After the King of Chu bathed and burned incense, the emperor allowed him to wear armor and hold a sword to go to the palace as a token of his favor..." "When the King of Chu arrived in front of the Chengguang Palace, he had to kneel every three steps to show respect..."

"The most important thing is to receive the imperial seal, but you must decline it three times, and finally pay homage to the high temple..."

"Lord Jian!" Suddenly an armored figure appeared in front of Jian Yong. It was Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Zhao Zilong seemed to have something urgent to do: "Master Jian, something big has happened."

"Cao Mengde carried out a massive purge of his subordinates today, and no one was spared, civil officials or military commanders."

"Among Cao Cao's men, all the generals and officials who had contact with us did not escape. Not only that, many were even innocently implicated..."

"After several years of operation in Xudu, it was uprooted in one day!"

Jian Yong was stunned. The next moment, he reacted: "Oh no, Cao Mengde is going to attack us."

Whenever a major event is underway, the internal affairs will be rectified before the storm arrives, otherwise there will be leaks everywhere at the critical moment...

Before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Mengde did not do this because he was very weak compared to Yuan Shao at the time, but he was very confident that he could defeat Yuan Shao.

Now, Cao Mengde is almost as strong as Liu Wu, but Cao Mengde has no confidence in defeating Liu Wu...

"Zilong, you stay in the imperial city and protect His Majesty!"

"I'm going to look for Prime Minister Zhuge!"

After saying this, Jian Yong left in a hurry. As soon as he walked out of Sima Gate, he jumped on his horse and headed for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

That day,

In Xudu City,

Something unprecedented happened...

Cao Mengde slaughtered a large number of his subordinates and cleared out a large number of them. He said clearly that these people deserved to die. They ate the salary from the Prince of Wei's Mansion, but worked for the King of Chu in private. They deserved to die!

Just when Cao Mengde was cleaning up his internal affairs,

In the city of Xudu, many aristocratic families, headed by the Hongnong Yang family, and Han ministers, all led their servants and young and strong men to the imperial city.

Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the defense of the imperial city, did not stop them and let them go in directly...

……

……

Boom! ! ~
A thunderous sound rang out across the Central Plains.

A huge and countless number of cavalrymen poured down from the north like a river bursting its banks!

The last batch of combat-capable soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu, the last batch of men who could control the bows, finally arrived.

"Great Chanyu, rest assured. The fact that you, the Xiongnu, have come a thousand miles to help the King of Wei see your loyalty, so there will be no shortage of wine and meat as rewards..."

Sima's words rang in his ears, but the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu did not listen at all.

He looked at the Xudu city that had come into view, his face very sad: "Alas..."

Then he heard Sima say lightly: "Great Chanyu, go to Xuchang quickly to pay respect to the King of Wei."

The Chanyu could not help but ask: "Can this city stop the King of Chu?"

The military supervisor noticed that the Southern Chanyu's Grand Marshal seemed a little shaken: "Whether we can stop them or not, we have to resist them."

In the eyes of this Sima, the Great Khan, the leader of the five Xiongnu tribes, seemed to have no dignity.

"Xudu will be destroyed, and all of you Xiongnu will die!"
