Xiahou Chun was worried at this time that after Cao Cao's death, the three sons each held military power. If they fought each other and took the opportunity to attack the Central King and the East King, the Western King would be in danger.

Now that Cao Zhang is quite righteous, Xiahou wrote a few letters, one for Cao Pi to send Cao Cao's suicide note to Chang'an.

A letter was given to Sima Yi, Hanzhong, and asked him to come to Chang'an to co-chair the matter.

One letter asked Cao Zhi to go to Chang'an, and he was responsible for his safety.

At this time, Cao Zhi was in Shangyong. When he heard that his father had died, he received letters from Cao Pi and Cao Zhang one after another, saying that his father had his father's will be ordered to receive the throne, and that he would be ordered to receive the throne according to the emperor's will.

Cao Zhi summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter, and Yang Xiu was beside him and said: The sutras written by the two princes are mostly untrue. The lord has not established a prince, which is known to everyone in the world.He was assassinated suddenly and died immediately. The suicide note was not credible.The fourth prince was in Chang'an and ordered the princes to take the emperor to the palace to see the emperor. The emperor was afraid of his power and issued an edict to the truth.However, there are rumors outside that the lord once left a letter to establish the third prince to take over the throne, which was destroyed by Cao Pi.When the movement is done, you must also find out clearly.

While the discussion was right, Xiahou Chun delivered a handwritten letter.

Cao Zhi sent a letter to everyone and said: General Xiahou sent someone to call us and protect our safety.Those who are for your children should go to the funeral and worship. I want to go to Chang'an. What do you think?

Yang Xiudao: If the young master had no intention of seizing the throne of the Western King, the safest one would be to set up a branch sacrifice place in Shangyong with heavy troops in his hand.No matter who takes the position, he will definitely treat the young master well.In this way, it will be invincible.

Xiahou Yuan said: If you don’t go to Chang’an to pay sacrifices, what’s the peace of mind for a Son of Man?Yuan brought heavy troops to protect the young master, so he can rest assured.

Cao Zhi finally decided to rush to Chang'an and ask Xiahou Yuan to bring 50,000 elite troops to escort him.

The army passed through Hanzhong to a narrow place in the Lier Valley. When the central army arrived here, a large stone tree rolled down on the mountain, and more than a hundred personal soldiers were injured or killed.Cao Zhi was worried and ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops out of the valley to camp.

After the camp was completed, Cao Zhixiang had a good personal relationship with Sima Yi and asked someone to go to Hanzhong to ask Sima Yi, while discussing with Xiahou Yuan.

In less than half a day, Sima Yi brought his two sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao to the army camp.After entering the tent and sitting down, Cao Zhi and Xiahou Yuan talked about the attack just now.

Sima Yi pondered for a while and felt that if Cao Pi and Cao Zhang wanted to take over, they should both disturb Cao Zhi.

The others seemed to have no need to hurt Cao Zhi.

If Cao Zhang found Cao Zhi and his elite troops to rush to Chang'an and thought he was willing to seize the throne, Cao Zhang would be the most suspicious.

After thinking about it over and over again, Sima Yi advised Cao Zhi to station in Hanzhong first to find out the information of Chang'an and Xuchang, and asked Cao Zhi to write a letter to Xiahou Chun to tell the story in detail.

At this time, Cao Pi did not expect Cao Zhang to act so quickly, and he summoned Xiahou Chun to Chang'an with the emperor's decree. The many methods he had planned were completely destroyed, and he was very passive now.

When they were bored, the soldiers came to report that Yuan Shao and others gathered heavy troops in the border counties, intending to make plans.

Cao Pi was very worried and summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter. Xun You and Zhong Hui were resourceful, but seeing the current situation, they were helpless.

Zhong Hui said: At this moment, Cao Zhang has received the emperor's edict, and General Xiahou was designed by the fourth prince to go to Chang'an. Sima Yixiang and the general were indifferent, and foreign aid had been cut off.It is better to send an envoy to negotiate with Cao Zhang now. If we treat us well, we can support Cao Zhang to take over.If it is inappropriate, make plans.

Xun You said: Now Yuan Shao has been in the border counties, so this matter can be reported to General Xiahou Chun as soon as possible. General Xiahou Chun is loyal and will definitely find a way to deal with it.Then order the counties to recruit young and strong men to help guard and strengthen their vigilance.The suicide note can be said to be the story of the lord after being assassinated, and Huan Fan wrote it in hand, and then asked the princess to confirm it, so the matter would be harmonious.

After hearing this, Cao Pi ordered Zhang Wen to go to Chang'an quickly to negotiate with Cao Zhang because he was eloquent.Then he rushed to the prince's mansion and asked to see the princess.

At that time, the princess was deeply saddened by the assassination of Cao Cao and killed the Xianbei princesses to the left and right, and then she felt a little relieved.

Cao Pi came in and cried loudly. The princess asked: Why is this so?

Cao Pi said: My father was unfortunately killed, and my brothers were not compatible. If my brothers turned against each other, then my Western King's great cause would be over.When I heard Zhong Hui and others' plans, I was worried about the splitting of my brothers and making fake books. My brother showed that he was increasingly threatening and was in a panic and asked to see his mother.

The princess said: You are so bold, you can play with fake books. What are your current plans? You can tell me quickly.

Cao Pi said: Everyone in the world knows the present suicide note. According to my son's opinion, he declared to the public that when his father was assassinated, he still told his last words orally, and Huan Fan wrote it in hand, and the mother can prove it, so that his son's minister can protect his life.

The princess thought for a while and had no other plans. Although she hated Cao Pi for fake books, Cao Pi had mercy on her for her.

He then took a private seal and stamped it on a fake book, and ordered the people in the mansion to dare to tell the truth about the assassination that those who were killed and killed to destroy the clan.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and did not dare to show his color. He thanked the princess and returned home.

In the afternoon, Zhong Hui and Xun You rushed over and said there was a change.It turned out that before Zhang Wen and his party arrived in Luoyang, they met a team of masked killers. Zhang Wen died immediately, and those who escaped from both sides had just returned.

Cao Pi's thoughts were already confused and he was at a loss.

Zhong Hui said: Someone must have done this matter intentionally, but the whereabouts of this team of killers are mysterious, and our spies have no news.The spy reported again that the third young master was also attacked on the way back to Chang'an.This matter is extremely complicated. Please calm down and let us discuss it together to resolve this bad habit.

Cao Pi calmed down, and Xun You said again: When Zhang Wen was assassinated, the young master and General Xiahou would have been robbed by a thief.If this group of people was sent by Cao Zhang, it would be known that the behavior of the young master would be extremely unfavorable for us in the future.It is better to join forces with Cao Zhi and lead troops to Luoyang to pay tribute.Cao Zhang had only 100,000 troops on hand, Cao Zhi had 50,000, and the young master also led 50,000 elite troops. General Xiahou in Luoyang was in charge of the overall situation, so Cao Zhang did not dare to be murdered.

Cao Pi obeyed the two men's plans and ordered the rest of the civil and military to pay close attention to the movements of Yuan Shao's army.I wrote a book and ordered someone to send it to Cao Zhi.He led 50,000 elite soldiers with fake letters to Chang'an with Xun You, Cao Zhen and Chen Tai.

Xuchang was a little far away from Chang'an. When Cao Pi arrived, Cao Zhi and Sima Yi had already arrived. The three of them led 50,000 troops to camp outside the city.

As soon as he set up a camp, Xiahou Chun rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone entered the military tent and made a plan together.

Xiahou Chun said: Now that the lord is newly destroyed, border affairs are tense.If brothers turn against each other, then one will rise and the other will become more and more dangerous, and the foundation of the Western King will be in danger.I heard that the fourth prince said that the second prince forged the lord’s suicide note, is there such a thing?

Cao Pi showed a fake book and said: When the father died, he could no longer write.He ordered Huan Fan to write in hand, and the princess was on his side, so he could testify.

Xiahou Chun sent Cao Zhi and Sima Yi's Royal Love in the Royal Palace to circulate this book and asked Sima Yi: What does General Sima think?

Sima Yi said: The authenticity of this book is second to the point. However, today I have issued an edict, and the fourth prince took the emperor to order the princes.How does General Xiahou view this issue?

Cao Pi said again: Yuan Shao had his troops in the border counties, and he had a plan, so the general should also take charge of the overall situation.
