Chapter 130 Cao Rui surrenders

In the inn, Xu Shu was very relaxed.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Xu Shu cooked a pot of tea, set up a game of chess, and started playing chess with Adou.

A Dou's chess skills are not very good, but they are more experienced by one thousand seven hundred years. You should know that after these thousand seven hundred years of development, many aspects of understanding and concept have undergone earth-shaking changes. When it comes to the chessboard, Xu Shu was caught off guard for a while.

However, Xu Shu's chess skills were very good. After the initial rush, he gradually brought the situation back and began to slowly gain the upper hand.

Speaking of which, A Dou's mind was not on playing chess at this time. It had been five days since Xu Shu had seen Cao Rui, but there was no movement on Cao Rui's side. After all, this is Yecheng, and Cao Rui's territory is still uneasy. A Dou's psychological reaction to the chessboard was full of flaws. He was already a good start, but he was slowly ruined by A Dou.

"Your Majesty, you are not dedicated!" Xu Shu put down the chess piece, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said, "Your Majesty's mind is not on this chessboard, so it's boring to be a minister!"

"Teacher, it's been five days now, so Cao Rui should have reacted! He must have an explanation whether to surrender or not!"

"Cao Rui had already discussed it in the court two days ago, and I heard that all the ministers were quiet." Xu Shu said calmly.

"Teacher, if it really doesn't work, let's leave Yecheng first!" Adou suggested.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not the time. Besides, Cao Rui may not let me leave so easily. If Cao Rui does not surrender, please leave quickly. I will delay time for Your Majesty."

"How can this work!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have the method of freedom to save my life. If Your Majesty wants to save me, just send troops to seize Yecheng." Xu Shu's tone still showed a sense of ease.

"Teacher, don't worry, I've prepared the way to escape long ago." Adou said here, and waved his hand: "Zhang Yi, take it here!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yi walked over, holding a tray in his hand, and there was a hook-shaped thing on it.

"Teacher, look, this is the flying claw I made. Tie a rope to climb the city wall. With this, we can easily climb over the city wall of Yecheng."

At this moment, the little book boy walked in from outside, bowed and said, "Sir, Master Wei Cao Rui is here."

"Finally come." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What kind of clothes is Cao Rui wearing?"

"Mr. Hui, Cao Rui is wearing a white robe." Shutong replied.

"White robe... Haha, the big thing is settled, Cao Rui is here to surrender!" Xu Shu finally laughed.

"Teacher, why do you say that?" A Dou asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, Cao Rui is a scholar who is in a strict manner and respects manners. If he comes in a dragon robe, he must have come to capture me. If he comes in a white robe, he must have come to surrender. The white robe is a mourning! In the past, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Yan Dan gave him a white robe. Today, Cao Rui is wearing a white robe, which means that the Wei Kingdom has been destroyed. As the king, he will sacrifice to him with a white robe!"

"This Cao Rui has the ability to study what clothes to wear. It is better to learn more about leading troops and governing the country more than to learn more about this!" A Dou sighed.

In his previous life, Adou was a martial artist and had no interest in chanting poetry and essays, so Adou naturally could not understand that Cao Rui was still idle to pick clothes at this time.

After looking at A Dou's expression, Xu Shu smiled slightly. If it was a peaceful and prosperous era, as a monarch, he could be remembered for generations and left behind a legend forever. But in this chaotic era, it would not be so appropriate for a monarch to concentrate on literature.

Although Cao Cao was called a literary master in the past, Cao Cao's strategy was more famous and more powerful than his literature. When Cao Pi arrived, although his strategy was not as good as Cao Cao, he was also considered a master of people. As for Cao Rui, his literary talent was not as good as his grandfather and father, and there was a difference in leading troops to govern the country. In peaceful times, Cao Rui might be a good monarch, and if it were in troubled times, Cao Rui could barely be considered good. Unfortunately, Cao Rui was born at the wrong time and met Adou!

"In the past fifty years, although there have been constant wars in the Central Plains, there are many talents! Alas, heroes have emerged in troubled times, but there are mountains outside the mountain and people outside. God's will, God's will!" Xu Shu sighed.

...

Cao Rui surrendered!

The news spread throughout Yecheng at the first time. At the same time, Adou sent Zhang Yi to Huguan in person and asked Huguan to send troops to take over Yecheng immediately.

Then, Xu Shu began to visit the powerful figures in Yecheng one by one, and also used this to temporarily stabilize the situation in Yecheng and wait for the Han army to take over.

...

Cao Shuang’s military camp.

It was already ugly, and Cao Shuang, who had been busy all day, finally fell asleep.

"General!" Wu Qiu Jian's voice came, awakening Cao Shuang from her sleep. Cao Shuang turned over and got up. At this time, Wu Qiu Jian also walked in.

"But the enemy attacked?" Cao Shuang put on her robe and asked.

Wu Qiu Jian shook his head, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.

"What the hell is it? Wuqiu, why are you mother-in-law and mother? Tell me quickly!"

"General, the big thing is wrong. News has just been heard in Yecheng, Your Majesty..."

"What's wrong with him, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has surrendered!"

"What did you say!" Wu Qiu Jian's words hit Cao Shuang like a bolt from the blue.

"Your Majesty has surrendered!" Wu Qiu Jian repeated again.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Cao Shuang seemed to be unable to accept this blow for a while, and she spoke incoherently.

In fact, it is no wonder that Cao Shuang led his troops to fight against the Han and Eastern Wu countries on the front line for several years. Only Cao Shuang himself knew the hardships and efforts. However, Cao Rui's surrender, Cao Shuang's efforts over the years were in vain.

"How could it be surrendered? Why did it be surrendered? I will send hundreds of thousands of troops, how could he surrender!" Cao Shuang's face was confused, and there was a feeling of at a loss in her eyes.

Wu Qiu Jian, who was opposite, saw Cao Shuang's appearance and knew that Cao Shuang was on the verge of collapse. Wu Qiu Jian hurriedly stepped forward and supported Cao Shuang, and said at the same time: "General, don't worry first. We still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we can still fight! Although Your Majesty surrendered, we will not surrender!"

"We won't surrender... Yes, that's right! If we don't surrender, I, Cao Shuang, will not surrender! If I have not avenged my great revenge, how can I surrender? And I, Cao Shuang, would rather die than surrender!" An infinite fighting spirit suddenly flashed in Cao Shuang's eyes.

But the next moment, Cao Shuang's expression became decadent again.

"Don't surrender? Wuqiu, our hundreds of thousands of troops consumed every day is an astronomical number. If Your descending, other cities will surrender one after another. If we do not surrender, who will provide me with food and grass? Without food, our hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to hold on for a day!" Cao Shuang sighed helplessly.

Although Cao Shuang has many people, he consumes a lot of food and grass every day. Unless it is as large as a country, he cannot afford to support such a large number of people. If Cao Shuang does not surrender, there will be no source of food. When the food is exhausted, Cao Shuang's army of hundreds of thousands will fall apart immediately. This forces Cao Shuang to surrender even if he does not surrender.

"General, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Otherwise, we will leave Jizhou first and accumulate power to make a comeback!" Wu Qiu Jian said.

"Leaving Jizhou? It's not easy! Youzhou to the north, Bingzhou to the west, and Yanzhou to the south, have been controlled by Liu Chan, and Qingzhou's people have also fallen into the hands of the Eastern Wu! Where can we escape!"

"General, we can go out to sea! I wonder if the general remembers that there is an island country east of the East China Sea called the Ematai Kingdom. Their queen, Mihu, admired our Middle-earth culture. The late emperor also sent an envoy named Danshengmi to Yecheng to meet the late emperor. At that time, Emperor Xian also rewarded the king of Mihu, the king of the Kingdom of Japan, and a hundred bronze mirrors." Wu Qiujian said.

"It's hard to raise rice? By the way, I remembered it! It seems like this is something."

"General, why not go east by boat and go to Namihu first, and then slowly accumulate strength to restore the country! The country of Japan is thousands of miles apart from our Middle Ages, and no matter how capable it is, he can't find us!" Wu Qiu Jian said.

"Go to Japan?" Cao Shuang lowered her head and thought, but after a moment, Cao Shuang shook her head.

"No, it's not OK to go to Japan! Don't forget that you need to go to Japan. There are all the navy of the Eastern Wu on the sea. If we go to the sea, the consequences will be unimaginable if we are discovered by the Eastern Wu. Besides, our coastal ports on Jizhou have been blocked by the Jiangdong Navy, and most of the naval ships were also driven away by the Eastern Wu Navy. Recently, the Jiangdong Navy has occupied Leling. Where can we go to find the ships to go to the sea?"

"General, I have a plan to go out to sea smoothly!"

"Wuqiu, what else do you have?"

"General, as far as I know, although Sima Yi is now called the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Water and Land Army, the navy is not completely controlled by Sima Yi. The navy was originally commanded by Lu Xun, and Quan Cong and Ding Feng, the commanders who are proficient in water wars in the navy, are also from Lu Xun. As for Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan, they have just entered the navy and cannot fully understand the navy's tactics. So now the Jiangdong navy attacks our Leling, mainly Quan Cong and Ding Feng lead the troops to command. Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan are only responsible for the supply of food and grass below."

"So what! Sima Yi is very cunning. Although he cannot fully control the Eastern Wu naval army for the time being, it will only take sooner or later for the Eastern Wu naval army to fall completely under Sima Yi's control."
