Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 765 The Emperor and Empress Arrive at the City Wall

When Zhang Sui arrived at the north of Changshe with his 150,000-strong army, the entire city was in a state of tension and fear.

Inside the city, none of the residents were released.

not a single one!

When Cao Pi led his army to retreat to Changshe, Cheng Yu ordered Xiahou Dun, who was guarding Changshe, to seal the city gates to prevent any civilians from leaving.

Firstly, Zhang Sui was known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Cheng Yu wanted to see how Zhang Sui would attack the city when faced with the people of this city!

Secondly, keeping these people around would help in defending the city.

Under Cheng Yu's command, all the people went to the foot of the city walls at the four city gates to wait and prepare to defend against the enemy's attack at any time.

Meanwhile, all the soldiers inside the city, even those who were resting, were summoned to the city walls to build defensive fortifications.

However, when Zhang Sui arrived with his 150,000-strong army, chaos still reigned on the city walls.

The soldiers on the city wall watched as the 150,000-strong army surrounded Changshe on three sides, leaving only one side to retreat to Xudu, and they all despaired.

The mountains and fields were covered with people.

In addition, there was the army constantly transporting supplies from the rear.

The area outside Changshe City was completely sealed off.

After Zhang Sui ordered his army to set up camp, he summoned all his civil and military officials and had them create a sand table model of the terrain near Changshe.

Zhang Sui even had people find people who had lived in Changshe and were familiar with the layout of the city. He personally made a layout map of Changshe.

Zhang Sui was already prepared for street fighting!
This Changshe was his final battle against Cao Cao's legacy!
To win this battle, he must prepare for all possible scenarios.

Huang Yueying, Ma Jun, Lu Xun, and other talents who had followed the expedition to learn also joined the siege of Changshe.

Under Liu Ye's command, they directed the soldiers to build trebuchets.

The area outside the city was bustling with activity.

As for Chen Gong escorting Cao Cao and Lady Bian's bodies, they haven't arrived yet.

Although he set off ahead of time, Chen Gong slowed down considerably out of respect for Cao Cao and Lady Bian.

At this moment, on the city wall, Cao Pi, surrounded by Xiahou Dun, Cheng Yu, Cao Xiu, Du Ji, and others, gazed out of the city, their faces filled with despair and helplessness.

Cao Pi, however, changed from his previous naivety and became much more calm and reserved.

After glancing around outside the city, he immediately ordered his ministers to descend from the city wall.

The group headed straight for a house in the city—

The residence of Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu Shou.

The Tiger Guards were blocking the entrance when Cao Pi slapped them aside.

The other Tiger Guards, seeing Cao Pi and the civil and military officials around him, all consciously stepped back.

Although they were responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and empress.

However, they were even more aware that their existence was subject to the Cao family.

The Cao family simply didn't openly turn against each other because they were concerned about saving face.

Cao Pi led his civil and military officials directly into his residence.

Emperor Liu Xie is having a play performed in the front courtyard!

That's right, it's opera!

From the moment he was escorted here from Xudu, he knew that the Cao family was finished.

His good days are over.

However, instead of being frustrated, he was very excited.

He hated Cao Cao.

He hated everyone in the Cao family.

He hated his own incompetence even more.

However, all of this is coming to an end.

It ended along with the Cao family.

For him, both Cao Cao and Zhang Sui were too numerous to recount.

If he had the ability, he would definitely tear those two to pieces!
Now, watching Cao Cao and Zhang Sui fight like dogs, Cao Cao is completely finished. Although there are still regrets, this is the only way.

However, when Cao Pi led his civil and military officials to attack, Emperor Liu Xie, who was performing a play, was still startled, and his face turned pale.

The opera performance stopped, and Liu Xie looked at Cao Pi fearfully, asking, "What does Minister Cao intend to do?" Cao Pi glanced coldly at Liu Xie and said, "Now that the Grand General has rebelled and led an army of 150,000 to besiege Changshe, I, Cao Pi, request Your Majesty to move to the city wall and inspect it, so that the Grand General and his civil and military officials can see that the Emperor is inside the city. Are they plotting a rebellion?"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he gestured towards Liu Xie with his lip.

Two military officers quickly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Xie, and carried him away.

Although Liu Xie was prepared to die, his legs were still weak and he had no strength at all.

He could only look pleadingly at the civil and military officials around him, his face pale.

But not a single person stood up and said a word.

Among these civil and military officials, not a single familiar face could be seen.

In the incident involving the imperial edict in the belt, thousands of people, including General Dong Cheng, Consort Dong, his sons, and loyal officials, were all killed without exception.

After Cao Pi had Emperor Liu Xie taken away, he went straight into the house.

Deep inside the house, Empress Fu Shou, dressed in mourning clothes, was laboriously carrying a wooden bucket of water to water the flowers in the house.

Seeing Cao Pi arrive with his men, Fu Shou said calmly, "Wait until I finish watering the last bit."

Cao Pi ignored him and sent someone forward directly.

The two military officers dragged Fu Shou away.

Fu Shou did not resist.

When Zhang Sui was serving the emperor in Hongnong, he had considered having her fake her death and escape.

She didn't leave because she wanted to kill her own father, the former Commander of the Imperial Guard, Fu Wan.

There was also General Dong Cheng.

The last one was Emperor Liu Xie.

Now, both Fu Wan and Dong Cheng have died tragically.

Only one emperor remains.

Now it seems that although he couldn't kill the emperor himself.

But being able to watch him die with me, and to be entangled with him in the afterlife, would be worth it.

As Fu Shou was being helped out of the house, she looked up at the blazing sun on the horizon.

She let out a long sigh.

It's finally over.

This long, boring, and tragic life.

A father who doesn't value his children's lives and only cares about his broken and corrupt loyalty.

A chariot general who doesn't care about other people's lives, who constantly professes loyalty, yet raises a butcher's knife against his concubines.

There was also a husband who had no ability whatsoever, yet had caused the deaths of countless officials, and who constantly complained about the injustice of fate, watching helplessly as his woman was ridden by treacherous officials.

A mocking smile appeared on Fu Shouqiao's face.

Today, let all of this be buried in this great war.

Including yourself!

Cao Pi, accompanied by Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu Shou, headed straight for the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, with Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu Shou standing between the battlements, Cao Pi ordered his messengers to shout towards the outside of the city: "His Majesty and the Empress are here. Please, General, come out to see them!"

The commanding officer kept shouting.

A strong wind blew Liu Xie and the Empress's hair. One was dressed in a black robe and the other in white mourning clothes. Although they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers on the city wall, they seemed like two isolated figures, out of place with their surroundings.

Although Liu Xie was prepared to die, his body trembled as he looked around.

The sheer size of the army outside the city is comparable to that during the reign of the traitor Dong Zhuo.

That person, in less than ten years, has become so terrifying?

Fu Shou looked down at the large army camp outside the city, his face expressionless.

Having already known her fate, no change could touch her heartstrings.

She even felt a surge of excitement within her.

at last.

Finally, I can go to the underworld and meet the child I aborted before he was even born.

From the afterlife, I, as its mother, can serve it like a slave and atone for its sins.
