On the other side, Runan County, Shangcai County.

I saw Cao Cao lying on the bed in a bedroom in the county magistrate's mansion, with red and swollen eyes and pale face. It was obvious that the hero had cried several times.

"Father, now that things have come to this point, I can't help but have no choice. I believe the uncles can't bear to see you like this." A man in gorgeous clothes with a good appearance knelt beside the bed, comforting him worriedly and sadly.

He is Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Cao.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly felt like a knife was squeezing. He didn't care about Guandu, and he didn't care about Xu Du, but Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Xiahou Dun were all right-hand men and important civil and military officials. I don't know how many achievements he made along the way, but he didn't have time to reward them, so these people were gone. This was all his incompetence!

At this time, Xun Yu walked in slowly from outside and said, "Sikong"

He looked tired and his face was filled with unhidden sadness. Guo Jia's departure made Xun Yu feel pain from the bottom of his heart. It should be noted that they were friends for many years, and he also introduced Guo Jia to Cao Cao. However, Yuan Xi had not yet withdrawn his troops, and Cao Cao fell down because of excessive sadness. He could only be responsible for everything. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi was so much better than Yuan Shao.

When Cao Cao saw that it was Xun Yu, he quickly signaled. Cao Pi quickly helped Cao Cao up and pressed a pillow behind him.

"Wenruo, did Yuan Xi attack?" Cao Cao asked seriously.

"Sikong Anxin, no, it seems that Xiliang has taken action, and Yuan Xi may turn around soon," said Xun Yu.

"You must order the scouts to supervise at any time and not relax for a moment," Cao Cao reminded.

"No!" After Xun Yu responded, he said, "Sikong, Yu and his colleagues have discussed that our army has suffered heavy losses and cannot fight again. Therefore, he is ready to negotiate with Yuan Xi to ensure peace in the next five years with the help of the enthronement of the throne."

"Will Yuan Xi be willing? After all, he has such a big advantage?" Cao Pi asked with some concern, with jealousy and envy in his eyes. Yuan Xi was as big as him, but he was indeed close to the world's number one prince, and he was not even sure of a prince at the moment.

"Second Young Master, please rest assured. Yuan Xi actually understands that the north is his foundation. Now the north is in great turmoil, especially the army in Xiliang is facing an extremely urgent situation. The reason why he did not go back was actually to get some more benefits. After all, Sikong still has nearly 100,000 troops, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili are all in our hands. If he is stable in the rear, he may not be afraid at all, but he does not have this condition at this time." Xun Yu smiled.

"Wen Ruo said very much. If you arrange the specific matters, you will make a request. No matter what, you should bring Fengxiao and his bodies back. Cao will give them a heavy title." Cao Cao burst into tears again in his eyes.

"No!" Xun Yu gave a greeting, took out a list and said, "Sikong, everyone discussed a few of the name of the throne at this time, and asked Sikong to take the final decision."

Cao Cao nodded, took it slowly, and asked, "What do the emperor thinks about this?"

"The emperor has no objection and said that it will be handed over to the Prime Minister," Xun Yu said immediately.

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled coldly, Xu Chu probably wouldn't be polite. After slowly opening the list, he saw six words written in it: "Chu, Zhao, Qi, Yan, Dai, Han".

"Which Prime Minister thinks is suitable?" Xun Yu asked again.

Cao Cao looked at the word Yan, and after a long time of silence, he said, "When Cao and Benchu ​​discuss the world, he once said that he occupied the Yellow River in the south, guarded Yan in the north, and had both Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and then fought for the world in the south. Since this is the case, we should use this word Yan! Issuing an order to confer Yuan Xi as the King of Yan, add nine tins of the world, and place hundreds of officials, and deal with everything in the north, especially."

"Father, isn't Yuan Xi equivalent to being with the emperor?" Cao Pi said in surprise.

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, saying, "Do you think it's not right? The imperial court's will could not enter the north during the Yuan Shao period, let alone now. This is just a clear statement, and it is considered a sincerity as a peace talk."

"Sikong Yingming, the most important thing now is to stabilize Yuan Xi and tell him not to attack Runan impulse. Our army needs too much to survive and seek to seize Guanzhong, Yizhou. And as long as the emperor is still there, even the King of Yan cannot ignore it at will." Xun Yu agreed.

"Wenruo, who is planning to be on the envoy?" Cao Cao nodded and asked.

"My colleagues have discussed it and decided that Wang Lang, the counselor, should be appointed as an envoy. He is divided into judging and judging by virtue of etiquette and lip service. He once persuaded Sun Ce to let him go with his three-inch tongue, which shows his level and can take on this important task," Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's great, let Jingxing set off immediately, don't delay."

"promise!"

......

A few days passed by, and in the main hall of Sima Mansion in Xudu, Yuan Xi was sitting in the former Cao Cao's position, and the civil and military stations were divided into two rows.

After a while, a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament, majestic face and dressed in a rigorous manner, walked in slowly with a golden imperial edict in his hand.

"The counselor Wang Lang paid a visit to the general and was appointed as the emperor. Sikong ordered him to read the imperial edict and discuss the matters of peace talks between the two parties." Wang Lang bowed to Yuan Xi.

"Haha, do you need Xi to kneel down?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile when she heard this.

Wen Chou, Hu Niuer, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and other powerful generals immediately looked over with murderous aura. Even Zhao Yun's eyes were chilling. What's the emperor? Isn't it Cao Cao's imperial edict? How could Yuan Xi kneel down?

"God General, you are polite. After the fourth generation and third generation of the Great General, he has been guarding the north, resisting foreign tribes, and making countless contributions. There is no need to be too polite." Wang Lang immediately said

Yuan Xi nodded slightly and said, "Then you just read it! Xi wants to see what Cao Sikong asked the emperor to give me."

The civil and military officials immediately laughed, and Wang Lang's expression calmed down, but he didn't say much. He opened the imperial edict and immediately read it aloud. There was a large number of function words in front of him, nothing more than his father's contribution to his contributions and his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Then he was right.

"The general was appointed as the King of Yan, and nine tins were added to the position of hundreds of officials. All matters in the north were handled especially without reporting to the court for filing."

When Yuan Xi's civil and military officials heard this, many of them were immediately excited. The lord was actually named the king. This was the first foreign throne to be personally enthroned by the Han emperor after Liu's family, and it was completely different from the kind of rash climbing up.

Yuan Xi waved his hand gently, and Hu Niuer stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Yuan Xi stood up, bowed to Runan, and said loudly: "Xi thanked the emperor for his kindness."

Since Cao Cao dared to give, he dared to take it. With the four continents of the north, he was not afraid of any rumors. Although this throne was empty, it could make the north completely claim to be one. Not only did it get rid of Cao Cao's court, but more importantly, it could completely transform the north from the rule of Yuan Shao to the era of King Yan Yuan Xi of Yan. This significance was extraordinary. Li Ru had guessed this aspect last night, so that Yuan Xi must take it.

After Yuan Xi sat down again, Wenwu immediately stood up and bowed loudly with excitement on his face and said, "Greetings to the King."

"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled loudly and waved his hand gently, "You guys don't have to be too polite, Xi."

Speaking of this, Li Ru suddenly gave a reminder of his eyes.

"Oh! Although Gu was enthroned as King of Yan, he still wanted to be loyal to the country. You should continue to work hard." Yuan Xi immediately changed his name.

"promise!"

"Wang Lang pays homage to His Highness, King Yan," Wang Lang bowed again.

"Mr. Wang, don't have to be too polite. Thank you for your hard work this time, but Gu also knows that you didn't come for this, and Gu doesn't go with Rao Wan. There is only one condition. Cao Sikong Ruo agreed. Gu is willing to sign a contract, lead troops back, and even Xu Du returned it to him." Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"King, please tell me," Wang Lang immediately said excitedly.

"You go back and tell Cao Sikong that you want Jia Wenhe. If he gives it to you, you will never go south to the Central Plains within five years. If he doesn't give it, everything will be deprecated. This throne will not be rare," Yuan Xi said seriously.

"Master Jia" Wang Lang was shocked and quickly prepared to say something, but Yuan Xi was about to wave his hand to stop him, and his eyes became cold: "I know you are very eloquent, but this is the bottom line. Without this, don't talk nonsense."

"This" Wang Lang hesitated. He knew that although Lord Jia did not occupy a high position, he was indeed a confidant minister!

"Mr. Wang, the king doesn't want Xun Lingjun, but Jia Wen is just a kind of peace. If you don't want this, it means that you are in good faith in the peace talks. Our military orders are in turmoil in the north, and we will also send troops to Runan." Pang Tong immediately stood up, his tone filled with this solemn and murderous intention.

Wang Lang suddenly sighed and said, "Your Highness, can you let the officials go back and ask?"

"Okay, of course, I can. Come and take Lord Wang down and have a good rest," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

After Wang Lang left, Yuan Ping immediately stood up and said in confusion: "Brother Wang, why are there only one Jia Wenhe?"
Chapter completed!
