Jin Xuan heard the emperor's death in Changsha, and took the opportunity to break out.

Jin Xuan knew that Sima Yi was both civil and military, so he ordered Zhang Fei, Lu Xun's troops and Huang Zhong and Xu Shu to join forces with 300,000 troops. He ordered Zhuge Liang to be his military advisor and personally led his army to conquer Hanzhong to avenge the emperor and comfort the people of the world.

When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi heard that Xu Zhi killed the emperor, they were also shocked and adopted Xun You's plan to denounce Sima Yi.Because the emperor had no son, he chose one of the royal family to establish it and then declared it to the world.Jin Xuan and Yuan Shao both did not obey the order.

When the Jin Xuan army was conquering Hanzhong, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had another dispute over the position.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both brothers because Cao Zhang took over the position. After Cao Zhang defected to Jinxuan, only two candidates for the position of the Western King were left. Xiahou Chun returned to Anding in anger. After Cao Zhang left, he invited Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to Chang'an to take charge of the overall situation.

At this time, the Western Princess had arrived in Chang'an. When she heard that Cao Zhang had run away and fled to Jin Xuan, she recruited Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to discuss the plan in the palace.

The princess said: Your father has passed away, and Zhang'er and you will not tolerate each other and leave.Your brothers should put the overall situation first and work together to protect your father's foundation.

The two of them retreated with silence.

The Princess of the West asked Xiahou Chun to discuss the matter of accepting the throne. Xiahou Chun said: The second and third princes are both talented, and the Western King is competent. However, it is difficult to accommodate two tigers in one mountain. If there is another dispute over the matter of accepting the throne, my foundation will be greatly damaged.Chun's opinion is better than taking the military power of two people. If the person who takes the position is determined, he will give it all the military power.This is a perfect plan.

The Princess of the West said: The current old minister of the King of the West, Cao Ren and others have followed Zhang'er to join the King. The general Sima Yi in the army made a big mistake again. Only the two brothers of your brothers can maintain the overall situation. However, your brother and Zhier have been together for a long time and have become Zhier's confidant.If the military power is seized and a mutiny is caused, then the tiger will not become a dog.

Xiahou Chun asked: According to the mistress’s opinion, who should be elected?

The Princess of the West was born because Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both born, but those who were mothers all preferred the younger ones.

In addition, because most people have the concept of being close to each other, Cao Zhi led his troops all year round and did not meet him for a few years, but instead made the princess worry about him all day long.

The princess said: I want Zhi'er to take over the position. Although Pi'er has many troops, there are no outstanding people in the leadership of the army. With your brothers in the court, no one dares to rebel.In addition, Zhier can surpass Pier.What does the unknown general think?

Xiahou Chun was originally selfless, but when he saw what the princess said was reasonable, he said: If the princess is interested in the third prince, he should seize the military power of the second prince as soon as possible, and there will be changes.

The princess said so.Xiahou Chun then returned to the camp to reorganize his troops, intending to put Cao Pi under house arrest, and let Cao Zhi take over the position.

The princess' maid had a personal relationship with Cao Pi. After hearing the words of the princess and Xiahou Chun, she sneaked out of the prince's mansion to report to Cao Pi.Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this and led his troops out of Chang'an and returned to Xudu.

Xiahou Chun led his troops to live in the residence. When he saw that Cao Pi had left, he heard the news was leaked and he was furious.Later, Pan found out that the princess' maid was leaked and reported it to the princess and killed the maid.

The brothers Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan supported Cao Zhi to take over the position, and the five counties of Anding, Chang'an, Hanzhong, Shangyong and Xinye responded.

When Cao Zhi ascended the throne, he ordered the brothers Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the counties under Cao Pi.

Xiahou Chun's army used Xu Zijiang as military advisor and went out to Chang'an to attack Hongnong; Xiahou Yuan's army used Yang Xiu as military advisor and went out to Xinye to attack Wancheng.

Cao Zhen, the prefect of Hongnong, heard that Xiahou Chun's army was coming, and he was unwilling to kill each other. He also knew that it was far from the enemy of Xiahou Chun. When the army arrived, Cao Zhen led Wu Zhi, Wang Jun and others to open the door to surrender.

Sun Li, the prefect of Wancheng, was originally a general of Xiahou Yuan. When he heard that Xiahou Yuan was leading troops to kill him, he also led Fu Gan, Hua Xin and others to surrender.

Cao Pi surrendered without fighting in Xuchang. At that time, Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan wanted to attack Luoyang together, and urgently ordered their confidants Jia Kui, Dong Zhao and Dong Heng to urgently go to Luoyang to lead 100,000 troops to assist Luoyang prefect Dong Heng.

The Xiahou brothers led their troops to come, and the two armies faced each other.

Xiahou Chun said: Our soldiers are all the soldiers of the King of Western Affairs. In order to protect the King of Western Affairs, we had no choice but to seize the military power of the second prince.Now the princess ordered the third prince to ascend the throne. My brothers came and asked the second prince to return to Chang'an to avoid external troubles and to take advantage of external troubles.

He also raised his arms and called on the soldiers to turn against each other.

The Xiahou brothers led the troops for a long time and had a prestige. Most of the Luoyang defenders were subordinates of the two brothers, and most of them turned against each other at the last minute.Seeing that things were not in harmony, Hao Zhao and others led 30,000 personal soldiers to retreat to Xuchang.

When Cao Pi was in Xudu, he saw Hao Zhao and others defeated from Luoyang, as many civil and military officials planned to discuss it.

Zhong Hui said: The Xiahou brothers have already obtained Luoyang this time. They will be forced to attack Xuchang in the near future. The Xuchang has less than 100,000 troops. They are not the enemy of the Xiahou brothers. What's more, the Xiahou brothers have been in the army for a long time and have a great prestige. No one dares to resist the army.If the army arrives, the defenders will be the same as the defenders in Luoyang, and they will turn against each other without fighting.In this way, the young master should tie himself up and apologize. He thought that the third prince and the young master were the same mother, and the princess and the brothers Xiahou were in court, so he would not lose his life.

Xun You disagreed and said: Brothers have always fought for the throne, and it is difficult for the losers to save their lives.The fourth prince has defected to Jin Xuan. Now Yuan Shao’s army is stationed in Guandu. Why not we should sacrifice the two counties of Xuchang and Chenliu to Yuan Shao to make an advancement step, and then use Yuan Shao’s troops to restore the plan.Zhong Hui said: The battle with the third prince is a brotherly battle. However, Yuan Shao is an enemy of the outside world and divides the land of the lord and offers Yuan Shao to Yuan Shao, which is a traitor who treasons.The head can be broken, but this matter cannot be done.

The two were in dispute, and the civil and military officials were also divided into two factions and debated each other.Cao Pi was also helpless and ordered all the civil and military officials to disperse for the time being.

At night, the gatekeepers urgently reported to Cao Pi, saying that Zhong Hui, Chen Tai, Huan Fan, Sima Fu, Chen Qun and others led their personal soldiers to Luoyang.

Cao Pi was shocked and summoned Xun You and others to discuss it. Xun You said: This matter is urgent. If the matter is urgent, if the young master does not make a decision in a hurry, it will be too late.

Although Cao Pi was anxious to governor, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang died early. He was the brother of Cao Cao's sons. If he now gives his father's foundation to Yuan Shao, he will never accept it.

At this time, the Xiahou Chun brothers led a large army to Xuchang. When Feng Zhonghui and others on the road, they talked about Xun You's desire to offer the city to Yuan Shao, and they were very worried.

Then he divided his troops.

Zhong Hui and others led Xiahou Yuan's troops to Chenliu to receive the seal of the prefect.

Xiahou Chun led his troops to travel overnight and rushed straight to Xuchang.

At that time, Cao Pi repeatedly made plans and finally gathered all the civil and military officials to do: Pi knew that you were loyal to me, but Pi finally became the son of the former king Meng De.I would rather die than lose my prestige in the previous kings, and I will tie myself up and go to Chang'an to apologize. You will make your own plans.

When Xun You and others saw that Cao Pi had decided, they did not persuade him again.He wanted to wait for his death to leave, but it was difficult to give up. After thinking for a long time, Xun You and others also decided to accompany Cao Pi and tie him up to Chang'an to apologize.

Xiahou Chunyu met Cao Pi and others on the road and was overjoyed. He sent troops to escort Cao Pi and others to Chang'an and went to Xuchang to take over.

The matter of Cao Cao's sons seizing the throne came to an end, and Cao Zhi won.
