Chapter 309 A little polite, but not much, Cao Pi wins over

After Chen Ye put away his things, he left the room and greeted Liu Bei's bodyguards to board the helicopter at the temporary helicopter parking area.

Amidst a rumble, the helicopter flew into the sky. Liu Bei looked at the departing helicopter, imagining how Cao Pi would see the helicopter, and laughed out loud.

Thousands of miles away in Luoyang, the palace of Emperor Wei.

Cao Pi held a dinner party for guests as always, because he received Sun Quan's declaration of submission.

The generals and counselors below also received this shocking news amidst the dancing music.

"Dear dear friends, Sun Quan sent a letter to me. He spoke sincerely, bowed his head, and asked for gifts. I feel really happy!"

"Your Majesty, this is a great joy. Sun Zhongmou has returned to his country, and we in the Wei Dynasty are only left with the small country of Shu. We can destroy it with a single wave of troops, and the world will be united."

Chen Qun stood up, clasped his hands, and what he said made Cao Pi even happier. As if sharing, he told another part of Sun Quan's letter.

"Hahaha, you don't know, Sun Quan also mentioned that after Liu Xuande entertained himself and proclaimed himself emperor, he even said that he wanted to avenge the late emperor.

Not only did he stop attacking Sun Zhongmou, he also made Sun Zhongmou the King of Wu and granted him the titles of Juzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Qingzhou.

The condition is to give up Jingzhou, and Liu Bei will go north from Jingzhou to attack Sizhou, otherwise, he will attack Jingzhou and leave Jingzhou without any armor left."

The entire banquet fell silent for an instant. Everyone looked at Cao Pi, who was already rubbing his belly. After carefully confirming that they heard correctly, they burst into violent laughter.

"Your Majesty, this Liu Bei, is Liu Bei crazy?"

"Liu Shilang, you are also a descendant of the Han Dynasty. Do you know what Liu Bei thinks?"

Sima Yi's sudden and strange words froze Liu Ye, who was still laughing in the corner.

After Liu Ye became a member of the Han Dynasty, no matter how much he supported Cao Cao and Cao Pi, he was always alienated from him in terms of blood. Others also looked at Liu Ye with interest.

"Although a certain person belongs to the Han Dynasty, like the late emperor, they all believe that only the Cao family can be the masters of the world.

As for Liu Bei's idea, I guess it was to gain righteousness when attacking Sun Quan, which is the art of war."

"My dear friends, Minister Liu is very loyal to me. I think this analysis is very reasonable, and this is also the reason why Sun Zhongmou professed me the title of minister."

Cao Pi obviously didn't want Liu Ye to be isolated, so he rescued him, but he didn't blame Sima Yi. He liked it too much when the people below were against each other.

But soon, Sun Quan and others were also raised with doubts about whether Liu Bei's stupid trick was true and what his purpose was.

In the end, everyone walked through Sun Quan's original pit at the same time and began to guess that Liu Bei's goal was to advance north from Hanzhong.

It's just that compared to Sun Quan receiving the letter directly, they had an intermediary channel. Sun Quan's writing was vague in some places, which made them feel very confused.

"Whatever, if Liu Bei dares to go to Chang'an, I will let him never come back. I am worried about not being able to open the tortoise shell in Yizhou."

Cao Xiu, who was sitting at the bottom, said nonchalantly that he was responsible for guarding Sizhou in the west.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Liu Bei's ultimate goal is not for the Northern Expedition, but actually to capture Jingzhou and obtain an exit from Yizhou.

Therefore, regardless of whether Liu Bei will actually attack north from Hanzhong, we must take this opportunity and use it as an excuse to capture Jingzhou and help Sun Quan defend it."

"What Liu Shilang said is very agreeable to me. Liu Bei dares to openly attack me. Do you really think that I am just being arrogant?"

It's just that the time has not yet come, and Liu Bei has not yet exhausted Sun Quan's strength. Wouldn't attacking now save Sun Quan money and food?

When Liu Bei reaches the Jiangling area and Sun Quan mobilizes his troops, we will go down the Han River and attack Ezhou directly!"

Cao Pi did not reject Liu Yan's suggestion as he had chosen in history. Because of historical deviations, the time was one year earlier, and Cao Pi's thoughts at this time were completely different.

“Your Majesty’s words are wonderful!”

"Wonderful!"

All the ministers praised him. As the great spy of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye felt very happy about this. If the Cao family brought peace to the world, wouldn't it also revive the Han Dynasty?

It was just that Sima Yi had just taken a sip of wine and was about to grab a piece of fat when he suddenly felt something sound.

"Strange, it's going to rain? Changwen, can you hear any noise?"

"No? There is only the sound of musical instruments. Zhongda, did you hear it correctly?"

While Sima Yi was communicating with Chen Qun next door, the door was suddenly knocked open and Cao Pi's imperial army rushed in.

Everyone inside was shocked. The Imperial Guards who were responsible for guarding the interior drew their swords to resist. The crossbowmen on the beams even pulled the triggers and shot in front of the Imperial Guards.

"Stop!"

"Report! Your Majesty!

"Sky, there's something big flying in the sky! It's making thunder while flying, it looks like a giant beast, and it's very abnormal."

The sound of the door being pushed open disrupted the dance floor, and everyone finally heard the roar of the helicopter engine.

The ministers had just laughed before, but when they suddenly heard the news, their reactions were a little slow.

"What kind of thing is it?"

"Is it dangerous? What kind of giant beast is flying in the sky? Is it an eagle?"

"My dear friends, if you are waiting here, why don't you go out with me to see what kind of raptors cannot be killed with so many warriors of the Forbidden Army?"

Cao Pi's words made all the ministers stand up and Liu Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of an explanation.

"Your Majesty, could it be that this is the arrival of the legendary beast? It heralds the arrival of Your Majesty's opportunity to rule the world? This is auspicious!

In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty achieved great success by slaying the white dragon. Now that your majesty has the immortal beast to look for, he will surely be able to revive the world and bring all the people back to their hearts."

Cao Pi, who had already passed the desk, was stunned when he heard Liu Ye's words and looked at Liu Ye with admiration.

"No, Your Majesty, that thing in the sky seems to be controlled by humans. It is very big, with glass reflecting light on it, and its belly is very large."

"If there is someone, it would be even more serious. This means that there is an immortal who has surrendered to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will rule the world and it will be just around the corner!"

Liu Yan managed to get his life back, but Cao Pi stopped. He was not afraid of animals no matter how big they were, but he was afraid of people who could control them.

When I was debating whether to go out and take a look, there was a sound in the air.

"Where is Cao Ziheng of Wei State?

I am Chen Ye, the national advisor of the Ming Empire. I have heard that Cao Ziheng is smart and wise, and has the air of a wise king. I came here to visit you and please come out to see him so that I can have a look."

Everyone in the palace felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

"This? Is this a sound a human can make?"

"The sound is like thunder, deafening. How can this be done? How is it possible?"

"Your Majesty, please take shelter for now. It's hard to tell whether this is a human or a ghost."

Obviously, there were too many small houses in Cao Pi's Luoyang City, which were not suitable for downtime. Chen Ye looked around and found only a large lawn far away from the palace that could be used for downtime. This made him feel uncomfortable.

Chen Ye is still very polite and knows that it is not polite to appear directly in front of others, so he made an appointment.

After he finished shouting, he asked the helicopter pilot to descend further and sent a personal guard down to negotiate with Cao Pi's people.

This movement had long since attracted the attention of Cao Pi's imperial army. All the sergeants followed the helicopter's footsteps and quickly arrived below the helicopter, which was in Cao Pi's palace.

After the helicopter descended to a height of fifteen meters, it began to drop a ladder, and then the guards began to descend.

Looking at the guards climbing down from the rope ladder, wearing obvious contemporary clothes, the guarded and timid soldiers below breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?"

"A certain person is a personal guard of the Imperial Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty. Who among you is taking the lead? The Imperial Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty has come personally to send you a greeting card and hopes to see the King of Wei."

"So-and-so is General Zhu Shuo of the Forbidden Army. If you have any greetings, please give them to so-and-so and pass them on to so-and-so. Also, who do you think the person above is, the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty?"

The Wei army guard knew how to sling a bow and hold a crossbow. He looked at the helicopter in the sky warily, fearing that it would suddenly fall on someone's head.

"The invitation is of great importance and must be handed over to someone who meets your monarch."

"Impossible! How can the emperor's majesty be shown to others at will?"

After the two argued, Zhu Shuo finally won. He took the so-called greeting card, which was a piece of paper, and turned around and took it into the palace.

When Liu Bei's personal guard saw that his goal was achieved, he quickly climbed up the gangway, and then nodded to Chen Ye, the mission was completed.

In the confused eyes of the soldiers below, the helicopter rose up, and then followed Zhu Shuo, who was delivering the message, and flew above the side hall where Cao Pi was now.

In the side hall, Cao Pi took the letter handed to him by Zhu Shuo. It was written very simply, roughly stating that he was very powerful, admired him very much, and wanted to meet him.

Cao Pi, who felt that there was no problem, prepared to meet this person and walked out of the side hall, but he still had the necessary preparations.

In order to prevent objects being thrown from high altitudes, more than a dozen forbidden troops surrounded him with shields raised, ready to form a shield formation at any time, and there were archers following closely with their bows drawn.

Cao Pi raised his head and finally saw the helicopter. His huge size made him filled with envy. He must get this thing.

Just as they were thinking this, the people below saw a picture that made their hearts beat.

The helicopter in the sky opened the sliding door, and then a figure looked down, jumped out of the air, and the target was directly above Cao Pi.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Escort! Escort!"

Amid the panic of the soldiers, Chen Ye landed steadily five meters in front of Cao Pi. Chen Ye looked at Cao Pi who was being escorted back slowly in the crowd and nodded.

"Are you Cao Pi?"

"Bold! Who are you? Can you also call the emperor's name?"

"Stand still! Otherwise, with a certain order, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows!"

The words of Chen Qun and Sima Yi did not make Chen Ye restrain himself. Chen Ye came to chat with Cao Pi today, so he did not need to take care of his feelings in front of his ministers.

Besides, Cao Pi is not bound to the system. Even if he is doing business, Cao Pi can only be regarded as a provincial distributor. The general agent Liu Bei is still there. Whether he can ship goods depends on the general agent's mood.

"My dear friends, please wait a moment. Since this gentleman is a national counselor of the Ming Empire that I have never heard of, and he can fall from such a high place without any injuries, it means that he is a genius.

Geniuses are always unruly and unruly. It is understandable that this gentleman is Cao Pi and Cao Ziheng, the current emperor of the Wei Dynasty.
