Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 375 The death of Cao Cao, Sun Quan is like a mourning concubine
In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao killed Dian Wei, Cao Anmin, and Cao Ren and Le Jin indirectly.

But he never regretted it.

Because regret itself is the most useless emotion in the world, life cannot be repeated, no amount of regret and remorse is meaningless.

Only Cao Ang will always be the pain in Cao Cao's heart, making his steel-like heart full of regret.

For the first time in Cao Cao's life, he tasted what it means to regret green intestines.

In the nightmare, he howled and cried, and when Cao Ang gradually disappeared, he shouted: "Ang'er, my Ang'er, where are you going?"

As he said that, he rushed forward, but then it seemed that he missed nothing, and then a sharp pain came, which made him wake up.

"Husband, husband."

Mrs. Bian, who had been watching over Cao Cao by the bed, saw Cao Cao having a nightmare and wanted to wake him up, but he threw her back several steps.

When she came back to her senses, she was scared out of her wits.

Because Cao Cao fell off the bed unexpectedly, and even bumped his forehead on the ground, bleeding out from the touch.

This scene shocked Mrs. Bian's face, and she hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Come quickly."

The servants, servants, and maids outside the door quickly opened the door and came in. Seeing this scene, they were in a mess.

Some people went out to call the imperial physician, some went to help Cao Cao, and some went to spread the message.

Only less than a quarter of an hour later, it was early in the morning and early in the morning, and the mansion of King Wei at three o'clock in the middle of the night quickly became full of people.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other heirs, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Sima Yi and other close ministers, and generals such as Xu Chu, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen all came.

At this moment Cao Cao was knocked, and after waking up from the dream, he was dizzy again due to headache, and it took a long time before he gradually opened his eyes and woke up.

Seeing so many people around him, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bian hurriedly said, "Bring water, King Wei wants water."

"Water, hurry up."

Cao Pi also shouted immediately.

Soon the maid brought a bowl of water over.

Mrs. Bian served Cao Cao to drink it.

Only then did Cao Cao let out a long breath, and said with difficulty: "What's wrong with you, widow?"

"My husband misses Ang'er, and he calls Ang'er."

Madam Bian said.

Cao Cao's head was muddled at this time, and Madam Bian reminded him that he vaguely recalled the things in his dream.

With difficulty, he raised his hand and touched the corner of his eyes, tears wet his cheeks and pillow.

He began to cry again.

"Yeah, I dreamed about Zixiu. He said that the father was old but the child was still young. It was because I killed him in Wancheng."

Tears could not stop falling, and Cao Cao's sadness soon infected the people around him.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and the others also shed tears.

Mrs. Bian comforted him and said, "Husband, Zixiu has a spirit, and he also hopes that he can live a long and healthy life, and not resent him under the nine springs."

"Ugh."

Cao Cao sighed, "I know Zixiu won't blame me, but he asked me where his mother is, and I have no words to answer."

Mrs. Bian had no choice but to remain silent.

Cao Ang's mother is not her, but Mrs. Ding.

Although Mrs. Ding was not Cao Ang's biological mother, she raised Cao Ang.

The death of Cao Ang in Wancheng caused Madam Ding to break with Cao Cao.

In his whole life, maybe only when he faced Mrs. Ding did he feel deeply guilty.

Cao Cao cried and cried, but finally there were no more tears in his eyes. He felt drowsy, as if he was about to fall asleep, so he said with difficulty, "I'm tired, you all go out."

The sound is already extremely weak.

The wound on his forehead was actually a bit of skin, and the imperial doctor helped to bandage it, but Mrs. Bian was still worried: "My husband needs someone to take care of him, so we should leave Zihuan Zijian and Xu Chu and the others."

"Ah."

Cao Cao responded, closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.

The weather was very cold, he still had a fever, and he had taken some medicine, but his body was still getting worse, and he slept much more than when he woke up.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Xu Chu and the others stood guard. Cao Cao hadn't woken up until noon the next day, and everyone was terrified.

The imperial doctor had seen his breathing, it was already very weak, and he often shook his head.

Two days later, Cao Cao woke up and fell asleep, but most of the time he was in a coma. He didn't wake up from his sleep until December [-]th.

This day Cao Cao seemed to be in better spirits. In the early morning, he slowly opened his eyes from the bed, then turned his head with difficulty, and saw Mrs. Bian lying on the head of the bed with only a silk quilt.

The rest of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other heirs also made a mat to sleep in the house. They have been guarding Cao Cao every day for the past few days. Bleeding out, staring at the head of the bed.

Seeing Cao Cao woke up, Xu Chu hurriedly prepared to call for someone, but saw Cao Cao shook his head slightly, then beckoned with difficulty, signaling Xu Chu to come over.

Xu Chu walked over.

Cao Cao said softly: "Madam has worked hard these past few days. Let her sleep for a while. I feel better. Help me to go outside for a walk."

Xu Chuwei wondered: "King Wei, it's very cold outside, but it's very warm inside."

The house burns charcoal 24 hours a day.

But even with a window open for ventilation, Cao Cao felt very stuffy because of burning charcoal, so he shook his head and said, "This room is too stuffy, let's go for a walk."

"That's fine."

Xu Chu couldn't resist Cao Cao, so he had to help Cao Cao get up.

Cao Cao went down to the ground with difficulty. Even though his voice was very soft, when he opened the door, he still woke up Mrs. Bian and all the children in the room.

When Madam Bian saw Cao Cao getting up to go out, she exclaimed, "Xu Chu, you can't open the door, it's windy outside."

"Ma'am, but the king of Wei"

Xu Chu was in a dilemma.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Cao Cao coughed twice and waved his hands: "Madam, I'm going out for a walk."

"Xu Chu!"

Mrs. Bian got up from the ground to stop her.

Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao in embarrassment, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Open the door."

Xu Chu had no choice but to open the door.

As soon as the door opens.

A gloomy cold wind rushed towards the face, making people shiver involuntarily.

At this time, Cao Cao's face and lips were already pale, and his whole body was in pain, but he still looked at the outside world seriously.

The world is white, the courtyard is covered with snow, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers are flying down. The snow stopped for two days a few days ago, but it started to fall again just in time for today, covering the whole world with whiteness.

With the support of Xu Chu, Cao Cao slowly stepped into the corridor, and walked along the east corridor to the back garden in the south.

Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and others followed closely behind. They were afraid that Cao Cao would be angry and dare not get too close, so they followed closely behind with a distance of four or five meters.

There used to be some icicles under the corridor, but the servants of the rich family would clean them up every day, but a new piece just happened to grow out, and the broken ice pieces fell from the eaves, just in front of Cao Cao.

The faces of the servants around immediately changed slightly. In the past, Cao Cao was probably about to kill someone.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was not angry, but continued to walk along the corridor through the arch, and stepped into the back yard through the wind and snow.

A guard next to him put a bamboo sash on him.

Xu Chu carefully helped him to the pavilion in the backyard, where Cao Cao sat like this.

The pavilion is located on the lake, the lake is frozen, a servant smashed the ice hole, the carp below are still swimming, but there is no vitality, and even a few seem to be dead.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "The flowers I raised withered, and the fish I raised died. Everything, one day, will face the fate of death."

Xu Chu hurriedly said: "Next spring, King Wei's flowers will bloom again, fish will live, and King Wei will be healthy for a long time."

"Ha ha."

Cao Cao knew that this was Xu Chu's words to comfort him, and it was not easy to make a rough man so clever.

He looked at the snow outside and fell into deep thought.

In the distance, Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and others stood under the corridor in the backyard, watching from a distance and not daring to disturb them.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers standing like quails over there, and couldn't help but said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, you said that if the widow dies, can Zihuan hold this country?"

Xu Chu said: "The crown prince is wise and decisive, and he can defend himself. Moreover, there are many talented people in the clan. In the future, he will definitely defeat Liu Bei and rule the world."

He called Cao Pi the prince because the heirs of the princes and kings in the Han Dynasty were the same as the emperor's heirs, and they were also called princes.The difference is that the emperor's heir, the crown prince, is called the crown prince, and the prince's heir is called the crown prince.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Zihuan is far behind his son Xiu and Cangshu. If Zixiu and Cangshu are alone, why should I worry that the country will not be stable?"

Xu Chu kept silent.

Cao Ang and Cao Chong have always been the biggest pain in Cao Cao's heart.

After a while, Cao Cao's eyes became a little cloudy, and his complexion seemed to have improved a lot, but it also became worse.

He got up slowly, walked to the railing, suddenly slapped the table and cried bitterly: "Ang'er, Chong'er, you left me as a father, how can you live as a father?"

"King Wei."

Xu Chu stepped forward to comfort him and said, "The Sri Lankan has passed away, please give me condolences."

"Ugh."

Cao Cao cried for a while, as if his energy had been exhausted all day, he was dizzy, took two steps back, and almost fell down.

After being supported by Xu Chu, he slowly said: "I'm tired, send me back to rest."

"Yes."

Xu Chu walked back with Cao Cao's arm.

But after only a few steps, Cao Cao's legs suddenly softened, and he was about to fall.

Fortunately, Xu Chu had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he supported him.

"Husband."

"Father."

In the distance, Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others rushed over.

Xu Chu was also so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he hurriedly hugged him up.

Mrs. Bian went up to snort, but she was already very weak, and touched her forehead, it was hot.

She hurriedly said: "Send Wei Wang back to the room quickly."

Xu Chu took three steps in parallel and sent Cao Cao back to the house.

That night.

Cao Cao fell into a coma with a high fever and was dying of illness.

a few days later.

Cao Cao, King of the Wei Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, died on December 24th in the [-]th year of Jian'an.

He lived three months less than in history, at the age of 66.

One month later, he was buried in Gaoling in the western suburbs of Yecheng. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty gave him the posthumous title of King Wu.

.

.

At the end of January in the 25th year of Jian'an, news of Cao Cao's death spread throughout the country.

In order to stabilize the situation, Cao Pi chose to keep the funeral secret at first.

It wasn't until the beginning of January that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I announced to the world that I would inherit the post of King Wei.

The news spread quickly.

After learning of Cao Cao's death, many people in the north rebelled and rebelled. The people of Xuzhou cheered and rejoiced that the murderer had left.

The situation in the south is different. Naturally, some people in the Liu Bei Group are happy and others are happy, but more people are flat.

For them, Cao Cao's death is still too far away from them and has no impact on them, so why bother to be happy or sad for his death?

But in Jiangzhou, Zhuge Liang Fazheng and they still congratulated Liu Bei.

Because Cao Cao is the founder of Cao Wei, he has a high prestige, and he consolidates the cornerstone of Cao Wei like a needle that fixes the sea.

Compared with Cao Cao, Cao Pi's prestige is more than a thousand miles away.

Therefore, now that the new king is in power, those who refuse to accept the rebels must be like crucian carp crossing the river.

It is difficult for Cao Wei to protect himself, let alone protect Jiangdong.

It will be smoother for them to attack Jiangdong. After waiting for a month or two, they will be fully prepared and the south will warm up before they can attack Sun Quan.

Only Liu Bei was neither happy nor sad, looked to the north with deep eyes, and let out a long sigh.

"I've been an opponent all my life, and even though I defeated you once in the end, Meng De, it's a pity that I can't let you see me break your Wei country and capture you alive in your lifetime."

.

.

Jiangdong, Jianye.

Wuhou Mansion.

"what?"

When Sun Quan heard the news, he jumped up and asked, "Can you say it again?"

The messenger tremblingly said: "Marquis Wu, there is news from the north that Wei Wang Cao Cao has died of illness."

"what."

Sun Quan sat down on the ground again, his eyes were lost, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun and others on the left and right were also silent.

Cao Cao's death is definitely bad news for them.

Because Sun Quan's power has been very weak since he stabbed Liu Bei in the back.

And Liu Bei defeated the Sun-Cao coalition army through the battles of Jingzhou and Guanzhong, and his momentum shook the world for a while.

Now Liu Bei has not attacked Jiangdong. First, it is winter and it is not easy to send troops.

The second is fighting on two fronts. The people's livelihood within the Liu Bei Group is also in decline, and they urgently need time to recuperate and recover.

But everyone knows that after autumn this year at the latest, after last year's wheat and this spring's rice harvest, it may be time for Liu Bei to send troops.

So Sun Quan has always hoped that Cao Cao will recover as soon as possible, so that when Liu Bei fights, Cao Cao sends troops from Huainan, and he resists on the Yangtze River to defend Liu Bei together.

As a result, Cao Cao died at this juncture.

In fact, whether Cao Cao died or not, logically speaking, it should have nothing to do with Sun Quan.

The problem is that Sun Quan is still looking forward to the stars and the moon, as if he is waiting for Cao Cao to stabilize the situation in the north as soon as possible so that he can rush to help him.

Now that Cao Cao dies, the situation in the north will definitely get worse, and his successor Cao Pi may not be as capable and prestigious as Cao Cao to calm down the chaos in the north and restore the strength of the north as soon as possible.

Once Liu Bei came over at this time and Cao Pi couldn't send troops, how could he resist Liu Bei's offensive?
So when he first heard the news, Sun Quan couldn't believe it. He wished that the news was false, but after confirming it three times, the messenger still told him the last thing he wanted to happen.

This sudden bad news made him instantly bewildered, and his face became sad.

"Why. Why is it at this time."

Sun Quan's eyes were dull, and he wailed and roared: "Why did Cao Cao die at this time, he died sooner or later, why is it at this time, blah blah blah blah."

At the end of the scolding, he was sobbing and sobbing like a mourning concubine.

Because he knows.

Jiangdong's three-generation foundation is about to end.
