[Thank you Hao'er Sister Paper and Ao Gu Yan Huang Friends for their support, and then give it to you]

Hearing that Cao Cao supported each other with the country, Tang Dou hurriedly left the bed, shook Cao Cao deeply, raised his head and said: "The prime minister doesn't have to say anything about it, he doesn't have the heart to win the championship, otherwise, he has the confidence to win the world before the prime minister." As for the prime minister's entrustment to protect the glory and wealth of the Cao family, he can promise the prime minister here, and if the Cao family encounters a crisis in the future, he will definitely not stand idly by. ”

Cao Cao wanted Tang Dou's reply, but he couldn't help but blush when Tang Dou said it in person, he took a deep breath, left the bed tremblingly, and hugged his fists at Tang Dou and shook it deeply: "It's the old man who is suspicious, and I ask Jincheng to forgive him." ”

Xu Chu on the side was dumbfounded, he had followed Cao Cao all his life, and he had never seen Cao Cao bow his head to anyone to admit his mistakes.

Cao Cao is sometimes quite willful, knowing that he is wrong, but he will never admit it, just like in the battle of Hanzhong that year, Cao Cao was defeated in the valley, and he had already retreated, but because Yang Xiu guessed the password of 'chicken ribs' and beheaded Yang Xiu angrily.

Cao Cao will admit his mistakes and know how to make up for them, but he will never admit them.

But today, Cao Cao confessed his mistake to Tang Dou.

Tang Dou hurriedly supported Cao Cao with both hands, helped him back to the bed and sat down, and carefully pulled the brocade quilt on Cao Cao's shoulders, and said affectionately: "The prime minister is tormented, but he is actually just a mediocre person, and he is actually a mediocre person in the next circle, in fact, he is collecting rare treasures from all dynasties and dynasties and various lost cultural inheritances, and he has no great ambition in his chest, he just wants to pass on these treasures left by our ancestors to the next generation, so that the world can understand the long history and civilization of our Han people." Zai Xia never thought of chasing the Central Plains, becoming a hegemon and commanding the world, that is not the life I want. ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, he knew that Tang Dou had no reason to lie to him at all.

Cao Cao stared at Tang Dou's eyes and said, "Jin Chenghou, what you are doing is more meaningful than hunting for territory, the old man admires it." ”

Tang Dou smiled bitterly: "Do your best, manpower is limited after all, do your best in the next thin." ”

Cao Cao turned to Cao Pi and shouted: "Evil animal, I haven't thanked Jinchenghou yet, in the future, my Cao clan will be full of doors but when there is danger, I will rely on Jinchenghou for guidance." ”

Cao Pi hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to Tang Dou, Tang Dou smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to pick up Cao Pi: "Zihuan doesn't have to be so polite, in fact, to put it mildly, you will be a good emperor in the future, and I will naturally appear to help you get through when you encounter a crisis in the future." Forget it, don't allow these empty favors for now, you and my brother will know who I am if we continue to associate in the future. ”

Cao Pi Baixie got up and retreated to the side, Cao Cao on the bed was already on his mind, and at this time he felt that his life was passing quickly, he leaned on the mattress on the side tiredly, and said to Tang Dou: "Jincheng wait, sit next to me." ”

Tang Dou sat next to Cao Cao according to his words, and Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi on the side: "Rebel son, Cangshu's death has made his father unforgettable." ”

Cao Pi was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and cold sweat poured out of his forehead.

Cao Cao's most beloved son was Cao Chong, who was famous for his intelligence since childhood, and Cao Pi was worried that Cao Chong would take away his position as the son of the world, so he listened to Sima Yi's strategy and poisoned Cao Chong's conspiracy.

Cao Cao has always been worried about this matter, and even almost stabbed Cao Pi several times when he was angry.

Now that Cao Cao is dying, he mentions this matter again, how can Cao Pi not be shocked.

Cao Cao sighed and closed his eyes: "Come to the bed, and finally pick a cigarette bubble for me." ”

Cao Pi hurriedly climbed onto the bed, his hands trembling and handed the large smoking gun that had been polished to Cao Cao's hand, trembling and picking up a cigarette bubble, but he couldn't put it in the pipe several times.

Tang Dou sighed, took the silver spoon from Cao Pi's hand, pressed the cigarette bubble into the pipe, and put the cigarette gun on top of the oil lamp.

Cao Cao took a hard puff of the cigarette gun, and a misty smoke erupted from his mouth, filling the room with a strange fragrance.

After a bubble of cigarettes, Cao Cao's spirit seemed to be better, he sat up slightly, wrapped the brocade quilt tightly on his body, looked at the big smoking gun and cigarette paste in his hand and said: "Throw this thing into the fire, so as not to stay and harm others." ”

Tang Dou couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, it turned out that Cao Cao had already known that this was a harmful thing.

Cao Pi threw the big smoking gun and the remaining cigarette paste into the fire in front of Cao Cao, and an irresistible fragrance filled the entire Wenyuan Pavilion hall, including Tang Dou, he couldn't help but stir his nose and take two deep breaths.

With Tang Dou's help, Cao Cao made himself sit up straighter again, and said without raising his head: "Let everyone outside the hall come in, the old man has something to say to them." ”

Xu Chu received the order, strode to the door of the hall, and preached to the ministers of civil and military affairs and Cao Zhi and others who did not dare to leave outside the hall: "The prime minister has an order, let you wait to enter the palace." ”

After waiting outside the palace for so long, those civil and military ministers were already physically and mentally exhausted, but when Cao Cao was dying, who dared to slip away without permission?

The ministers cautiously walked into the hall, knelt down in front of Cao Cao's bed, and peeked at Cao Cao, who was sitting on the bed and wearing a brocade quilt.

The gray head was scattered in front of Cao Cao's withered forehead, and the slight breeze brought by the movement of the ministers drifted slightly, covering Cao Cao's eyes.

The ministers knelt tremblingly in front of the collapse, they had clearly felt a kind of dead air from Cao Cao, and some courtiers couldn't help but cry in a low voice.

Cao Cao raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers in front of him one by one, and he softly pointed out his name: "Zilian, when I pursued Dong Zhuo, I was defeated by Xu Rong and lost my war horse, but it was you who gave me the war horse and I was able to get out......"

Cao Hong hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "Why should the lord worry about this matter anymore, the world can do without me Cao Hong, but it can't be without the lord." ”

Cao Cao sighed: "There is almost no difference in age between you and me, you have followed me to fight for so many years, and you have made many achievements. Over the years, many people have accused you of being greedy for ink in front of me, and you have also forced the officials of the court to death. Nian in you once saved my life, the merits and demerits are compensated, you are also old, it is time to rest, tell the old man to go back to his hometown. ”

A cold sweat broke out on Cao Hong's forehead, he knew that if he hadn't let Ma Zhien back then, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

Cao Hong hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and hurriedly withdrew from Wenyuan Pavilion.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao again, and said in a deep voice: "Although Wen Yuan is a general, he is loyal and courageous, and Wen Taowu is superior to others. After Zihuan succeeded to the throne, he also hoped that Wenyuan would abandon his previous suspicions, take the grand duke as his own responsibility, deter Sun Liu, complete the great cause of unification as soon as possible, and save the people of Li from fire and water. ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed, he had some small dirt between him and Cao Pi before, and he was very dissatisfied with Cao Pi, so he got close to Cao Zhi, hoping that Cao Zhi could replace him.

Zhang Liao originally thought that outsiders didn't know about this matter, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao already knew about it, and even said it at this time, shocking Zhang Liao into a cold sweat.

Cao Cao sighed, looked at Xu Huang again, and said tiredly: "Gongming is also old. ”

Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord, Yan Yan is also old, and he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, although Huang Zhong is old, he can also shoot a three-stone hard bow." The last general is not talented, and if he charges into battle, the last general is still the prime minister's pawn. ”

Advancing to Xu Huang and retreating from the forbidden army is a well-known thing in Cao's army.

When Cao Cao marched, when he attacked, Xu Huang must be the vanguard charging into battle, and when he retreated, he must have been Yu Ban as a rear guard to protect the whole army.

Cao Cao smiled: "As you wish, Zihuan will rely on General Gongming's support in the future." ”

Xu Huang clenched his fists: "Thank you." ”

Cao Pi bowed slightly and showed favor to Xu Huang.

Cao Cao sighed, turned his gaze to Sima Yi, and said, "Zhongda, if you talk about strategy, the old man only admires two and a half people in his life, do you know which two and a half people the old man admires?" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "The old minister is stupid, please show the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Among the people that the old man admires all his life, he promotes filial piety. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, Feng Xiao is young but died early due to illness, so that the old man lost his right arm, otherwise the old man would not have suffered the defeat of Chibi, and how could he have suffered a crushing defeat in the subsequent war. ”

Fengxiao is Guo Jia's word, once for Cao Cao to pacify Yuan Shao made great contributions, was Cao Cao worshiped as a military priest sacrificial wine, sealed Yuyang Pavilion, known as a ghost in the world, there are unpredictable ghosts, Cao Cao has always respected him very high.

Sima Yi prostrate and said: "Feng Xiao is a genius in the world, and the ministers also admire him. ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "The second person that the old man admires is Gaozu Liu Bang, Gaozu endured what ordinary people couldn't bear, and eventually became a great cause. Zhongda, do you know who the half of the old man admires? ”

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "But Liu Bei?" ”

Cao Cao laughed: "The big-eared thief is hypocritical, he is indeed quite enduring, but he is panicked like a lost dog, whoever takes him in will be unlucky, what can he admire the old man?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Forgive the old minister for being stupid, the old minister really can't think of who the half of the person the prime minister admires is." ”

Cao Cao laughed and stretched out his hand to point at Sima Yi: "The half of the people that the old man admires are you, Sima Yi, Sima Zhongda." ”

Sima Yi was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he hurriedly crawled to the ground in fear: "The old minister really doesn't dare to be a prime minister. ”

Tang Dou, who was standing beside Cao Cao, frowned slightly and pondered, he was guessing Cao Cao's intentions.

At this time, Cao Pi on the other side secretly made a color to Xu Chu, and Xu Chu, who had already been unable to hold back, pulled out his sword without saying a word, and slashed directly at Sima Yi's exposed neck.

No one expected that Xu Chu would suddenly draw his sword and commit murder, and for a while, the ministers screamed in surprise.

Sima Yi felt the cool breeze above his head, looked up in horror, and saw Xu Chu's eyes wide open, and the big sword in his hand had already slashed in front of him with Ling Ran's murderous aura.

Sima Yi shouted: "My life is on the ......"

"Poof"...... (To be continued.) )8
