Since Cao Cao's demise, Xiahou Chun was undoubtedly the first person in the army. He knew that if the handling was not done properly at this time, the brothers would be divided.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are all talented, and they have heavy troops in their hands. How to handle the relationship between the three brothers properly without any worries? At this time, Xiahou Chun can't decide in one sentence.

Then he suddenly heard that Yuan Shao had to fight in the border counties, and was worried about internal and external troubles, so Xiahou Chun couldn't help but be anxious.

Although Xiahou Chun was loyal and brave, he was far from Sima Yi and others in terms of wisdom and strategy. He was at a loss for his brothers to compete for the throne.

He said: Chun followed his lord throughout his life, saying that he was loyal and trusted by the three young masters, and he must deal with it impartially.However, taking over the position is the family affairs of the lord, and Chun Yiren's efforts may be difficult to do so.It is better to take the princess to Chang'an to preside over it now.What do you think is the civil and military officials gathered to discuss?

Sima Yi said: Now the fourth prince has received the emperor's order, but his prestige is not as good as the second prince and the third prince. Moreover, the fourth prince has the least strength. Now the second prince and the third prince do not face his troops, so the overall situation is the priority.If all the civil and military members discuss it together, it may be useless if they delay it for a long time.It would be better to bring the princess here and work with the three brothers to discuss that we are all subordinates of the lord. If the princess chooses one of them, we can only follow our orders.

Xiahou Chun said: What General Sima said is reasonable, so the second prince ordered Xuchang to send heavy troops to escort the princess here.Tomorrow I will lead my personal soldiers to receive sacrifices.

Cao Zhang was in the mansion and heard that Xiahou Chun came to preside over the presidency, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Because Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both personally sent by the princess, while Cao Zhang was sent by the partial concubine. If the princess came here and said the most important thing, then even if there was an imperial edict to take over the throne, it would be difficult to achieve success.

He ordered people to call Cao Ren and Cheng Yu to discuss matters.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu said: If the princess comes here, the matter of taking over the position will become a phantom.Although the emperor issued an edict, no ceremony was held.It is better to come to the palace to meet the saint, and ask the emperor to recruit all the civil and military officials in Chang'an to hold a reception ceremony in the palace.In this way, major events have become a foregone conclusion, and even if the princess arrives, it cannot be changed.

Cao Zhang led his troops into the palace and asked the emperor to order all the civil and military officials to conduct a ceremony for the reception ceremony in the palace, but the emperor dared not refuse to obey.An edict was issued that the court meeting tomorrow, and all civil and military officials in Chang'an came to the court and Jin to meet.

At that time, Xiahou Chun and others knew nothing, but there was an emperor's order, so they had to listen.

On the Yue day, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Xiahou Chun, Sima Yi and others all led their personal troops into the court to meet the saint.

The emperor said: The early stage has been drafted, and now Cao Duke died due to state affairs. He ordered Cao Duke’s fourth son Zhang to take over as the King of the West and specially granted him a crowning ceremony in front of the hall.

After saying that, an eunuch brought the crown and robe. Without waiting for the civil and military officials to say too much, Cao Zhang immediately thanked him and the ceremony was over.After the crown of the emperor was completed, he retreated to the harem with one sentence.

The Han court was ruled that there was no noise in the hall. At that time, the imperial guards were all Cao Zhang's confidants. There were Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's confidants in it who wanted to speak, but because of the emperor's majesty, they did not dare to question him on the spot.

There are also imperial guards on their side, so they are patient and do not send them.

After leaving the palace, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Sima Yi and others first asked Xiahou Chun about the problem.

Cao Zhang did not tell me about this in advance, and he himself was confused.

Everyone asked, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Because he was angry that Cao Zhang did not tell him about this matter in advance, he was asked by everyone, but he could not answer it.

Xiahou Chun was angry and apologized to everyone and led his troops back to Anding.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Sima Yi and others had trouble having sex in the hall.

Xiahou Chun left the city with anger, and no one in the court could comfort him. Several people brought their own soldiers to clamor in the city, and occupied the city gate, allowing elite soldiers outside the city to enter the city.

When Cao Zhang heard this, he hurriedly led his troops to fight with everyone, wanting to close the city gate.

Cao Pi and others had few personal soldiers, and they fought and retreated. They were almost at the city gate and the army had arrived.

At that time, Cao Zhang had only 100,000 soldiers in the city, while Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Sima Yi each brought 50,000 elite soldiers.

The two sides fought each other, and Cao Zhangsheng was in the process of being ordered by the soldiers; Cao Pi and the three others were in harmony with each other, and although there were many people, they all had ulterior motives.

The two armies were in stalemate, in Chang'an City, one army east of the city and the other army west of the city.

Cheng Yu and others saw Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Sima Yi working together and sent Cheng Wu to Sima Yi's camp to talk about it.

Cheng Wu saw Sima Yi and said: This is a brother fighting for the throne. General Sima is a foreign minister. No matter who wins and who loses, he will have the consequences of having troops and abdicating power.

Although Sima Yi held heavy troops, both sides of the fight were the sons of the lord. Seeing that Cheng Wu was right, he kept a letter to Cao Zhi and led his army to Hanzhong.

When Sima Yi returned, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi joined forces, which happened to be the same as Cao Zhang's troops and fought against each other.

At that time, Cao Pi had 80,000 troops stationed in Hongnong, and Cao Zhi had 100,000 troops stationed in Xinye, not far from Chang'an.Cao Pi transferred 40,000 Hongnong soldiers, and Cao Zhi transferred 70,000 new wild soldiers, and rushed to Chang'an at night.

When Cheng Yu heard that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were dispatched heavy troops, he knew that Cao Zhang's troops were not the enemy of Cao Pi and Cao Zhang's joint army.

He rushed to Cao Zhang's mansion and said: The second and third princesses have great strength and have recently dispatched a large army to come. Our army is not the enemy.If a large army enters the city, our army will be in danger. It is better to rob the emperor and surrender to the king of the Central Government and use the king of the Central Government to restore its foundation.

Cao Zhang immediately went to the palace to invite the sage, concubines, etc., abandoned all the officials, and led his troops to the lower office.

Sima Yi was stationed in Hanzhong and was the only way Cao Zhang passed. When he heard that Cao Zhang was robbed here, he led his troops to block his way.

Cheng Yu rode his horse forward and saw Sima Yi and said: Now the King of the West and the Lord are here. Zhongda has heavy troops to block the road. Do you want to rebel?

Sima Yi was speechless and led his troops to retreat into Hanzhong.

Cheng Yu and others asked Cao Ren to protect the concubines and the family to take the lead and cut off the queen with Cao Zhang.Before he could do so, Sima Yi received Cao Zhi's handwritten letter and led his troops to come again, but did not answer, and led his army to fight.

At that time, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, which was weaker than Cao Cao's troops and horses.

However, Sima Yi was both civil and military, and was extremely wise and brave. After less than a year of command in Hanzhong, he trained the Hanzhong army into a powerful brigade, and his combat effectiveness was the best among Cao's army.

Before the battle ended, Cao Zhang and others fought and retreated.Sima Yi's general Xu Zhi was foolish and led his troops to break into Cao Zhang's army. He saw the emperor driving a carriage and horse. He saw the emperor dressed in gorgeous clothes and thought Cao Zhang would drive his troops to kill him.

When the emperor died, the left and right rushed to Cao Zhang. When Cao Zhang heard this, he rode his horse and asked Sima Yi: I am the son of the former Western King and I am also personally granted the title of the emperor. You know very well.Now you listen to my brother's words and come to rob and kill Zhang, and Zhang is speechless again.But why did he drive troops to kill the emperor?

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this and ordered his left and right to investigate. The question was done by Xu Zhi, and he was very ashamed. He ordered his left and right to kill Xu Zhi and apologize and lead his army back to Hanzhong.

Cao Zhang led his army to Xiabian. At that time, Zhang Fei and Lu Xun heard the news and led their army to receive the sage. Seeing that the emperor was dead, they ordered Li Yan to accompany Cao Zhang and others to escort the emperor's body and concubines to Changsha.

Jin Xuan buried the emperor in the south of Changsha, and the local area called him the tomb of the Han Emperor.
