    "Zijian and I are my son's biological brothers. How could I do such a dehumanizing thing?" Cao Pi cried in horror as he bit the ground with his forehead.

    Cao Cao said nothing, only stared at Cao Pi silently with a gloomy face.

    Cao Pi burst into tears, choked with sobs and unable to speak. He looked aggrieved and sad at the same time, but he was indeed sincere.

    And Cao Cao's sharp eyes seemed to want to see through Cao Pi's heart.

    After staring for a long time, Cao Cao's stern gaze finally faded, his face gradually softened, and the cold murderous aura gradually dissipated.

    "Hey, get up." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

    Cao Pi then stood up, brushing his tears, and said bitterly: "It is really hateful that the Emperor of Han killed Zijian and his two men. Please lead an army to return to Chang'an, and you will avenge the blood of your brothers."

    Cao Cao took a deep breath and said silently: "Chang'an has been captured by Yan's thieves, and the Han Emperor has fallen into the hands of Yan. I am afraid that even my father, let alone you, will not be able to avenge this revenge."

    Cao Pi was shocked and filled with anger, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

    Cao Cao said nothing more and only ordered Cao Pi to retreat, but summoned Liu Ye to discuss matters.

    In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao lost a group of counselors, and when Chang'an was lost, Guo Jia and several other counselors lost another group.

    Xun You is currently in Longxi as Xia Houyuan's military counselor. At this time, the only counselor Cao Cao can use is Liu Ye.

    After a while, Liu Ye entered to participate.

    "Chang'an has been lost. What should we do next? Does Ziyang have any suggestions?" Cao Cao asked straight to the point.

    Liu Ye pondered for a moment, "If Chang'an is lost, Guanzhong cannot be saved. For the current plan, the only way is to retreat to Longxi. Join Xiahou Miaocai's troops, use Liangzhou as the backing, and occupy the key points of Jieting to prevent the Chu army from passing through.  Longshan, then we can only wait until the world changes before we have a chance to advance eastward. "

    Yongzhou is bounded by Longshan Mountain, which is divided into Central and Longxi.  Although the three auxiliary counties in Guanzhong are now lost, there are still several counties in Longxi such as Tianshui and Nan'an available, and the entire Liangzhou is still under Cao Cao's control.

    Speaking of which, Cao Cao still has half a state available.

    Cao Cao stared at the map and weighed it for a long time.  Knowing that there was no other way, he had no choice but to adopt Liu Ye's strategy.

    So, after resting for two days in Chencang, Cao Cao set off westward, retreated into Longxi, and moved his prime minister's mansion to Jicheng, the seat of Tianshui County.

    The 60,000-strong army commanded by generals Zhao Yun.  Soon they pursued Chencang and completely included Fufeng County to the west of Sanfu into the territory of Da Chu.

    As the weather gets warmer, the Wei River begins to rise.  The original floodplain area downstream was prone to flooding again, and the Chu army's grain route from Luo to Guanzhong began to become less smooth.

    Therefore Yan Liang ordered Zhao Yun and others to station troops on the Chencang line.  He will not enter the army for the time being, and he will focus on it.  It was placed on the construction of dikes, and the grain road was completely unobstructed before heading westward.

    Because Cao Cao was not destroyed, Yan Liang did not return to Luoyang, but temporarily lived in Chang'an City.

    At this time, the news of Yan Liang's capture of Chang'an had spread throughout the states of Chu, and the people of Chu were all rejoicing.

    The Han Dynasty's two capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang, have now fallen into Yan Liang's hands. The political significance of this is naturally extremely huge.

    Not long after the capture of Chang'an, officials from various prefectures and counties came forward to ask Yan Liang to replace the Han and ascend the throne as emperor.

    As soon as the news spread, all the states followed suit one after another. From the governor of the state to the prefect of the county, one after another they persuaded Jin Biao to fly to Chang'an from all over the country like snow flakes to present themselves in front of Yan Liang's case.

    At the same time, Jingzhou reported that a yellow dragon appeared in the Han River, Yuzhou claimed that people saw a unicorn appear, and Yizhou reported that a phoenix appeared in the sky over Chengdu.

    As soon as all kinds of strange phenomena appeared, rumors spread all over the world. Everyone said that the auspiciousness coming from the sky meant that the Han Dynasty was over and the great Chu would take its place.

    Yan Liang was naturally no stranger to such a situation. Back then, at the time of Yingtian, when all his subjects persuaded him to ascend the throne and become king, auspicious signs appeared all over the country overnight.

    Yan Liang naturally knew that these so-called auspicious signs were actually stories made up by the officials below, just to create the impression that he, Yan Liang, was a man who complied with destiny.

    A man who doesn¡¯t want to be an emperor is not a good man.

    This rule has always been a principle that Yan Liang believes in.

    At that time, Liu Bei only held a mere Yizhou and dared to proclaim himself emperor. Now Yan Liang has taken over half of the world, and his strength is far greater than that of Wei in history.?, what qualifications does Yan Liang have that cannot be called emperor?

    Moreover, now Liu Xie has also fallen into the hands of Yan Liang. If Liu Xie can be forced to give up the throne to himself in the form of abdication, it will be legal for Yan Liang to proclaim himself emperor.

    Therefore, under this situation, Yan Liang did not express his opinion on the suggestions of his ministers.

    The King of Chu's failure to express his opinion was tantamount to acquiescence, so these officials worked harder to petition Yan Liang to stand on his own behalf.

    Yan Liang is not in a hurry to abolish Liu Xie. He still needs to let the wave of persuasion continue to spread for a while to create a strong enough public opinion atmosphere.

    On the first day of the first month after he entered Chang'an, Yan Liang hosted a banquet in the palace and invited Liu Xie and Fu Hou to come to the banquet.

    In the palace, when Liu Xie got Yan Liang's invitation, he froze there with a look of reluctance on his face.

    "Queen, Yan Liang invites me to a banquet, should I go?" Liu Xie asked Fu Shou.

    Fu Shou sighed: "The matter has come to this. If Your Majesty doesn't go, I'm afraid that Yan Liang will get angry and it will be even more detrimental to Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty might as well condescend to go."

    Liu Xie nodded: "In that case, the Queen will go to the banquet with me."

    Hearing this, Fu Shou¡¯s delicate body trembled, and his face was full of surprise.

    "In Yan Liang's post, it was stated that I was invited to go with the queen." Liu Xie showed the invitation to Fu Shou with a bitter look on his face.

    In Fu Shou's mind, he couldn't help but recall Yan Liang's frivolous eyes full of evil intent as he stared at him in the main hall that day.

    Thinking of this, Fu Shou's face suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty can go alone, I don't want to see that person."

    "But if the queen doesn't go, then Yan Liang might feel that the queen is looking down on him and makes him angry. But what should he do?" Liu Xie was confused.

    Fu Shou secretly bit Zhu Huan with his teeth, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty just said that I am feeling unwell. In short, I just don't want to see the person named Yan."

    Liu Xie begged for a long time, but Fu Shou just refused. Liu Xie had no choice but to drive out of the palace alone and go to the Chu Palace.

    Soon, the emperor¡¯s chariot arrived in front of the Chu Palace.

    The Tiger Guards at the palace gate.  But he did not let Liu Xie enter, but asked him to wait outside the door and report to the King of Chu first.

    At this time, the aroma of wine was overflowing in the palace hall, and Yan Liang was sitting and lying down.  Sip fine wine, listen to ditty, and enjoy the dancing of the dancers in front of the palace.

    "King Qi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has come for a banquet, and the carriage has arrived outside the palace gate." Zhou Cang said with cupped hands.

    "Ask him to come in." Yan Liang said casually, as if he only regarded Liu Xie as his subordinate.

    Zhou Cang was preparing to deliver the order.  Yan Liang suddenly remembered something, "Did Liu Xie come with Fu Shou?"

    "No, the Emperor of Han came alone, and the Queen did not accompany him." Zhou Cang said.

    Yan Liang frowned immediately.  "The king invited his wife to come to the banquet. Why did he come alone? How dare he not give the king face."

    Zhou Cang said: "I have also asked before, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty claimed that the queen is unwell, so she cannot come to the banquet."

    Snapped!

    Yan Liang suddenly slapped the case.  He said angrily: "What's wrong with you? It's obviously because you're pretending to be noble for the king."

    Yan Liang became angry, and all the courtiers on the left and right were secretly terrified.

    "Then shall we send Emperor Han back to the palace?" Zhou Cang asked cautiously.

    Yan Liang wanted to send Liu Xie away, but after a second thought, he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to send him back to the palace, just let him wait outside the gate."

    "I understand." Zhou Cang handed over and left.

    After leaving the main hall, Zhou Cang went straight to the gate.

    At this time, Liu Xie had been waiting in the imperial chariot for a long time. As an emperor, it was extremely embarrassing for him to attend the banquet at his subordinate's house. Now Liu Xie is a good emperor, but he can't even enter the subordinate's door.  You have to wait outside for the transmission.

    Although the middle of winter is gone and it is almost spring, the weather is still very cold. Liu Xie was sitting in the cold imperial chariot and was shivering from the cold in a short time.

    "The king has an order. Since the queen is in good health, let's just have a banquet today." Zhou Cang's voice came from outside the royal chariot.

    Liu Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that it would be better not to go to the banquet, so as to save himself the fear and humiliation of Yan Liang.

    "In that case, let's drive back to the palace." Liu Xie was eager to return to the palace quickly and avoid the cold for a while.

    However, he gave the order, but the chariot did not move. The palace guards on the left and right all turned a blind eye to his order.

      After Liu Xie waited for a long time for the car to move, he stuck his head out and shouted loudly at the driver, but no one of the guards listened.

    When Liu Xie was suspicious and anxious, he saw Zhou Cang standing there, looking at him with a strange sneer.

    "General Zhou, can you order these people to send me back to the palace." Liu Xie had to ask Zhou Cang for help. He knew that these palace guards were arranged by Yan Liang and only listened to Yan Liang's orders.

    Zhou Cang said coldly: "Sorry, my king only said that Your Majesty does not need to attend the banquet, but did not order His Majesty to be sent back to the palace. The general cannot make the decision."

    Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and had to smile again: "In that case, please ask General Zhou for instructions from the King of Chu."

    "Your Majesty is enjoying the dance now. I don't dare to disturb your Majesty's interest. Your Majesty, just wait here patiently." Zhou Cang refused Liu Xie's invitation.

    Liu Xie finally understood that Yan Liang was upset because Emperor Fu refused to come to the banquet, and was deliberately trying to punish him by making him freeze on the street.

    Just like that, I waited on the street for a long time. Seeing that the sun had gone down and the weather outside was getting colder, Liu Xie was so cold that he started to sneeze.

    Liu Xie became more and more frightened. He was afraid that Yan Liang would let him stay here all night. If he froze this night, even if he didn't freeze to death, he would probably freeze to death for half of his life.

    Liu Xie could no longer bear the torture of the cold, so he had to shout loudly: "Here, come quickly to the palace to ask the Queen to come."
