Chapter 215 The Finale

Xue Bing stood above the head of Chang'an City, looking at the Sichuan Army soldiers who walked into the city one after another, but thought about what Liao Li said a few days ago.

Cao Cao is dead!

When he first heard this, Xue Bing thought there was something wrong with his ears, and he didn't hear Liao Li's words clearly. After waiting for repeated confirmation, he was sure that he had heard nothing wrong.

Then, Xue Bing stood there, not coming back to his senses for a long time, his head felt like he was hit by five thunder, his ears were buzzing, his heart was in chaos again, and all kinds of thoughts kept coming out, but none of them could restore him to normal.

Cao Cao is dead! No wonder Cao's army hurriedly retreated. Now for the Cao Wei forces, the two prefectures of Yongliang are no longer the most important things at the moment. Instead, Cao Cao's successor was selected as soon as possible to prevent huge turmoil within the power and others from taking advantage of others.

In the future, the forces of Cao Wei will be busy re-dividing internal forces and have no time to take care of the Sun and Liu families. This is the opportunity for the two families. This time, the two families occupy so many territories, which takes a lot of time to digest. However, in this situation of Cao's army, we must be wary of the Eastern Wu side taking the opportunity to attack Jingzhou.

I thought about it all, and after a few days, I straightened out all the things at this moment. I just waited to return to Chang'an and wait for the arrival of the King of Hanzhong, and I could report to him in person...

One month later, all the northwest areas were all under the hands of the King of Hanzhong. The remaining Cao army either fled into the deep mountains, or fled into the bitter and cold areas outside the border, or were incorporated into the people by the King of Hanzhong. Looking at Zhucheng County of Yongliang, there was no longer a single Cao army flag. At this point, the plan mentioned earlier had been roughly completed. The King of Hanzhong captured the two states of Yongliang in one battle.

However, Jingzhou did not meet its previous expectations. After learning that Cao Cao had died, the Eastern Wu army expected that he would have no time to look south, so they mobilized the remaining troops in Jiangdong and rushed to Jingzhou.

In addition, the troops heading north to drag Guan Yu's army first, Jingzhou was in danger for a while, as if he would change his master at any time. Unfortunately, the troops led by Ding Feng were secretly crossing the river by Lu Xun, who had barely driven back to Jingzhou, while the night was shrouded, and then burned half of the fire. Tens of thousands of troops retreated back to Jiangdong in shame before they could play the first half.

Until the wars in various places were settled, it was already winter. This year's winter was a little colder than before, and even snowflakes rose rarely in the south.

In this cold winter, all parties had to temporarily put aside their thoughts of swords and weapons and focus on developing civil affairs. This gave the Hanzhong King's power, which had originally had a weak foundation, very valuable time to develop.

However, the war ended, and the Hanzhong King had a banquet for all the ministers and rewarded the meritorious soldiers. Everyone received a lot of wealth, food, clothes and silk. In addition, the Hanzhong King's strength gradually increased. Everyone knew that they had found a wise king. It was said that the Hanzhong King would pacify the world and restore the Han family's territory in more than ten years. At that time, everyone would have left their name in history. Therefore, the king and ministers were happy during this banquet.

After a few days, the King of Hanzhong recruited several people to discuss with the inner court, and asked for advice to everyone. Xue Bing replied: "Since the king met Jingzhou, he has occupied four states including the East and West Sichuan and Yongliang in a few years. In addition, Jingzhou was originally the one who occupied half of the country. However, during this period, there were no less than a dozen large and small battles, and there were no less than ten thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of food, grass and weapons consumed countless. If this continues, the land of several states will no longer be the king."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Zihan said so much! What should we do now?"

Xue Bing then made an appointment and said, "Nothing else, rest and rest!"

Liu Bei asked again: "How should we do it?"

Xue Bing smiled and said, "This is not the director of Bing. The king can call Mr. Kong Ming and others to Chang'an, and then discuss it in detail."

Liu Bei nodded and followed his advice.

More than a month later, Zhuge Liang brought all the civil servants in Chengdu to Chang'an, and Liu Bei then invited him to the palace to discuss matters. During this period, everyone decided to move the palace to Chang'an, based on this.

Just when Liu Bei's forces were busy with relocation, the Cao Wei forces selected Cao Cao's successor. After some open and secret struggles, his son Cao Pi successfully ended Cao Cao's mantle.

Later, he forced the emperor to abdicate himself, proclaimed himself the emperor, and the country was named Wei, and established the capital Xu, so he changed the title of Xu Du.

When the news came out, the world was shocked. The ministers under the throne of Hanzhong claimed that Cao Pi was a traitor and rebelled without authorization and proclaimed the emperor, and his crimes should be punished. However, the orthodox was not stopped, so he submitted a letter to the King of Hanzhong to ascend the throne to the throne to continue the orthodox Han family.

In July, the King of Hanzhong ascended the throne, established his capital in Chang'an, and changed his reign to Zhangwu. At this time, it was July of the first year of Zhangwu.

Then he was granted great titles to all the ministers, and everyone was promoted to reward. Xue Bing was granted the title of Prince's Grand Tutor and entered the palace to teach Liu Chan, who had just been granted the title of Prince.

After that, the Han army did not use any more weapons and only clashed with the Huns outside the border several times, but were all repelled by the Han generals.

In March of the ninth year of Zhangwu, the Xiongnu re-bowed the border again. Xue Bing, who was the prince's tutor at the time, was furious when he heard that he was aware of the generals in the court, were getting older, or were guarding important towns outside, or were lying in bed. For a while, the emperor had no generals to send, so he submitted a letter to fight.

In May of the ninth year of Zhangwu, Xue Bing used his son Xue Ning as the vanguard and led 5,000 troops to the outside of the border. The Huns were defeated by Xue Bing's battle and fled north. However, Xue Bing led his army to chase after 800 miles. During this period, countless people were burned and slaughtered. Several small tribes were slaughtered, killing all the Huns to themselves and move to avoid their attacks.

In December of the ninth year of Zhangwu, the army led its troops back due to insufficient food and grass. After this war, no more Xiongnu were arrested when Xue Bingsheng.

After this battle, Xue Bing had no history of war and was devoted to teaching the prince in the palace.

In the 11th year of Zhangwu, April. In the 226th AD, General Guan Yu asked for a letter to fight. The emperor followed his letter and then raised 50,000 Jingzhou naval and army troops, and defeated all the four southern counties of Jingzhou. In March of the following year, Jingzhou was in charge of the emperor.

In the thirteenth year of Zhangwu, General Guan Yu died of illness.

In the fifteenth year of Zhangwu, the emperor passed away and was posthumously named Emperor Zhaolie. In June, Prince Liu Chan ascended the throne and changed the reign of Jianxing. He also appointed Xue Bing as the Grand Tutor to assist in military and political affairs.
