Xiaoguangong

Chapter 250 Yang Xiu Admonishes
Cao Cao's condition is not optimistic.

Wang Bi's tragic death was a fatal blow to him, and Cao Cao himself felt that his life was dying, so he was forced to start planning for his funeral.

It should be said that it was an intensive plan for the funeral.

Although he is still conscious these days, his mental state is very bad, he has been half asleep and half awake, lazily unwilling to get up.

Several of his wives were about to shed tears. Fortunately, Mrs. Bian was calm enough. She mobilized her contacts to visit famous doctors. With a lot of rewards, an alchemist stepped forward and refined a batch of elixir for Cao Cao.

After taking a few pills, Cao Cao's complexion even returned to rosy, and he was able to get up and walk out of bed with the support of several wives.

Seeing that the hero had almost regained his vitality, Cao Pi was also very amazed. He quickly invited the genius doctor into the school, and asked someone to copy down the elixir he had developed, so that he could continue to refine the elixir for Cao Cao.

"I heard that this elixir contains cinnabar, mica, stalactite, realgar, and sulfur. After taking the medicine, the whole body becomes hot, and it feels like a fairy, and it is immortal.

This alchemist is really quite impressive. "

Beside Cao Cao's couch, Cao Pi looked longingly, and had no words to praise the benefits of the elixir. After talking for a long time, he realized that Cao Cao was actually staring at him, and quickly lowered his head.

Cao Cao was cunning and changeable since he was a child, and he could easily tease Yuan Shao, who was much older than him. Later, he gradually gained his current status by virtue of his extraordinary scheming and means.

But although Cao Pi has excellent talents and learning, his mind is quite... It can be said to be quite simple.

He is easy to trust others, as long as he thinks someone is good, he will trust unconditionally-but if that person does something that he is not satisfied with, Cao Pi's favor with him will quickly disappear, and he will never trust again , and even disgust him by any means.

In short, Cao Pi's mind and methods do not meet the conditions that a high-ranking person should possess, but it is a pity...

Now Cao Cao has no other choice, but can only hope that Cao Pi will grow older in the future, and the persuasion of several veteran ministers left behind him will allow his successor to take over the banner of the Cao family.

"Father..." Cao Pi panicked, lowered his head and called softly.

Cao Cao recovered from his trance, and there was a gentleness on his face that he had never seen before.

"Is there anyone in this world who is immortal? Even if you eat this elixir as a meal... if your lifespan is exhausted, you still deserve to die."

"Alright, I can still see... see..."

Thinking of Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others who died tragically for him, Cao Cao lost his voice for a moment.

"Zi Huan, you will go to the spring soon after becoming a father. After that, you have to treat Zi Xiao, Zi Lian and other uncles kindly. Can you do it?"

Cao Pi wanted to pretentiously give way, but he couldn't bear the great desire for power in his heart after all, so he nodded vigorously and said:
"Son, son can do it."

At this moment, Cao Cao didn't care about Cao Pi's disposition, he said to Cao Pi extremely calmly:
"Apart from a few uncles, there are two others, you will definitely make great use of them.

Yunshan is unstoppable and has the talent of a general.

Chang Diao is resourceful and can make clear decisions about major events.

Both of these two are loyal, courageous and courageous men, but Yunshan is strong and commits crimes, but he is often cowardly and protects himself.

You have to restrain your temper and make good use of these two people, such a big event can be settled. "

Yunshan and Changdiao.

When Cao Cao didn't speak, Cao Pi knew that his father must be referring to these two people.

Both of them rose rapidly after the Battle of Chibi, Yunshan was unstoppable and victorious in every battle;

However, the relationship between Cao Pi and these two people is not particularly close.

Cao Pi originally had a chance to win over Yunshan, and even got Yunshan's flattery for a time.

But he couldn't restrain his temper before, and he was quite dissatisfied with Yunshan's approach to Cao Zhi. The relationship between the two would never reach the level of intimacy.

Well, but this person is trapped in Chang'an now, let's wait for him to come out first.

Not to mention Chang Diao, Cao Pi even thought of killing Chang Diao before, and this person has a powerful school in his hands but is unwilling to use it openly for Cao Pi. This is a very dangerous thing in the first place.

Cao Pi felt that he was not young and should have his own judgment. The more Cao Cao said that, the more rebellious emotions in his heart continued to rise, but he could only nod silently.

Cao Cao couldn't see his son's unwillingness, which was precisely what he was most worried about.

"Lonely conquered the north and the south, and wiped out the heroes for the great man. Although I dare not say that the world is quiet, it is enough to say that the military exploits are unparalleled.

But even so, in the eyes of those Qingliu aristocrats, we are just the queen of eunuchs.

After the eunuch, how to bear the destiny? "

"This……"

After thousands of years, successful people like to say that they have no background and no background, and they have achieved today's achievements entirely by their own efforts.

But in this day and age, it would be insulting to say that a person came from a humble background.

Liu Bang ruled the world back then, which was an unprecedented and powerful feat. He won the world with a grassroots. Not to mention that Liu Bang couldn't tell the story, even many people in later generations thought it was incredible. Why would the destiny favor a grassroots.

So everyone used their brains and found a bunch of noble ancestors for Liu Bang, proving that Liu Bang's family had already been rich during the Tao and Tang Dynasties. Qingyan, sent him down to save the people of the world.

But Cao Cao is hard to say.

Cao Cao's grandfather is a descendant of Cao Shen, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao's father's family background is unknown. God knows where Cao Cao's grandfather got it.

If Cao Cao can level the world, he will naturally have a way to physically block the mouths of everyone in the world.But he fell short in the battle of Chibi, and this time the battle of Guanzhong ended with such a result. Now he must become the laughing stock of those aristocratic families, and the one who can rely on is Yunshan Changdiao, who was born in a poor family and has strong abilities. young people.

"Besides that, you have to treat your brothers kindly..."

"Of course, of course."

Cao Pi saw the warning in Cao Cao's eyes, and hurriedly swore that he would take good care of his younger brothers in the future, and even Cao Cao's concubines would be properly settled, so please rest assured Cao Cao.

Of course, as a son of man, his biggest dream is to make Cao Cao recover. If Cao Cao can recover, he will not care about any power at all.

Cao Pi's appearance made Cao Cao very uncomfortable, but Cao Zhi is now alone in Hanzhong, and there has been no news.The other sons were either courageous or lackluster, and in any case could not pose any threat to Cao Pi.

This made Cao Cao start to miss Cao Ang, who had passed away a long time ago.

The father and son were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

The relationship between the father and son who was not particularly good at first couldn't find too many topics except power for a while. Under this atmosphere, it is impossible to talk about the understanding of literature.

When the two were quite embarrassed, it was rumored that Yang Xiu asked to see him.

Cao Pi frowned subconsciously and wanted to leave, but Cao Cao waved his hand to signal him to stay.

His time is running out, and Cao Pi will have to participate more in this kind of thing in the future.

Of course he can't leave.

Yang Xiu was dressed in a pure white Confucian robe, and he was elegant and elegant. He walked into Cao Cao's bedroom slowly, and saw Cao Pi still beside him, with a slightly playful look on his face.

He has already seen that it is only a matter of time before Cao Pi takes over Cao Cao's position. He does not have Cao Cao's thoughts and methods, and his team has a shallow foundation. Vulgar Confucians who dare not do great things are not to be feared at all.

He smiled calmly at Cao Pi, this smile made Cao Pi feel a chill immediately, and said without frowning:
"what happened?"

Yang Xiu saluted dignifiedly, with a dignified expression on his face, and said quite calmly: "I just received the urgent report that the Chang Army Division has lost the defense line of the Weishui River, and now the whole army is blocked by the Yellow River."

There was silence for a while, Cao Cao and his son stared at Yang Xiu in silence, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, Cao Cao said in a hoarse voice:
"really?"

"It's true."

Previously, Yang Xiu's information had problems repeatedly, but this time his information was indeed very accurate.

The news that Chang Diao abandoned the Weishui River and assembled towards the Yellow River had already exploded in the Cao army. More than one smart person thought that Chang Diao was commanding blindly and pushing the whole army to death.

Many clever soldiers were unwilling to accompany Chang Diao to die. Fenfen crossed the river secretly, but was caught by Yang Xiu's school officials.

This group of school officials heard that Chang Diao had actually thrown away the Weishui defense line, and immediately realized that the battle was about to end, so they hurriedly sent the news to Yang Xiu's case.

Yang Xiu repeatedly confirmed, and found a few people who understand the military to understand the consequences of losing the Weishui defense line. The result made him so excited that he couldn't help but slapped his thighs, and quickly slapped himself twice to make himself behave. So happy, he ran to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who had fought all his life, of course knew the consequences of losing the Weishui River. He thought that Chang Diao would stick to the Weishui River and buy time for the whole army to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Chang Diao would do such a thing that disappointed him!
If this battle is defeated, it is unknown how many Cao soldiers will die in the hands of Ma Chao. It is impossible for even Yunshan to escape from Chang'an City. They will either be trapped alive or surrender.

No matter what the consequences are, Cao Cao cannot afford them.

Either way...

The hero sighed, and there was a trace of burning killing intent in his cloudy eyes, which made Cao Pi couldn't help but look away.

"Yes, it's a lonely person who trusts you."

There was a gleam of radiance in Yang Xiu's eyes:
"Chang Juying has failed the prime minister so much, why don't someone take down his whole family and show respect!"

Once Guanzhong is lost, Cao Cao's reputation will suffer a huge blow. Cao Pi suddenly feels scalp numb when he thinks that he will bear the unscrupulous attack of Guanzhong cavalry from Tongguan at any time after he succeeds.

"Father, Chang Diao...Chang Diao is so incompetent that..."

Cao Pi wanted to punish Chang Diao severely, but he suddenly said that the idea of ​​making Chang Diao's queen was that Cao Cao made the decision himself, and punishing Chang Diao was tantamount to slapping Cao Cao in the face, so he quickly shut up.

How to do?
I froze.
