"Alas, only the matter of the succession of Pi is really difficult for the old man to accept. You also know that Cao Ang, the eldest son of my brother, is not only brave and good at fighting, but also saves me from danger many times, and has a very high prestige in the army. If I don't preach to him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people......"

According to historical records, Cao Ang should have saved his father and died more than ten years ago.

However, due to the emergence of Huaxing and others, part of the historical trajectory has changed, and Cao Cao and Cao Ang have escaped the catastrophe.

So to this day, Cao Ang is not only alive, but also replaces Cao Pi as a matter of course and becomes the most suitable successor in Cao Cao's heart.

If Cao Ang and Cao Pi are just children of ordinary people, then it doesn't matter who is in charge, Huaxing will never forcibly interfere.

Unfortunately, they are not ordinary people.

Especially that second son, Cao Pi, was the founding emperor who founded the Wei State ten years later.

If Cao Cao replaced the heir with Cao Ang, then there would be two things to say whether there would be Wei after that.

Therefore, in order to keep history from changing too much, Huaxing had to reject Cao Cao with regret:

"Brother Cao, in fact, I personally admire Zixu, but in this matter...... Alas, there is really nothing I can do. In the future, whether you make him king or canonize your territory, you can compensate for all of this. However, the position of commander of Cao Jun must be succeeded by Cao Pi. ”

In order to prevent Cao Cao from misunderstanding, Huaxing followed up and added:

"As for the reason for this, I can't tell you at this time. But I can assure you that neither of them knew about it, and I wasn't speaking for anyone. This matter is only related to righteousness, and I have no selfish intentions. ”

Over the years, Huaxing has said a lot of things like "the secret of heaven cannot be revealed", and Cao Cao has long adapted to his "mysterious" style, so he did not continue to ask the reason.

But whether to accept this matter or not is still inconclusive for Cao Cao.

After thinking about it for a while, I saw that he had a tangled face, and asked tentatively:

"Brother Hua, old man...... What if you don't? ”

"If not...... That's more troublesome! ”

As he spoke, Hua Xing gradually put away his smile, and his face also showed a solemn look:

"Brother Cao should know that Hua is definitely not a person who gives up easily. If you don't agree to the four suggestions just now, Hua can only realize them through other means...... At that time, not only will I not give you any more territory, but I may also have to abolish the covenant and endure the pain of going to war with Brother Cao. So I implore Brother Cao, think twice! ”

If Cao Cao is obsessed and does not regret it, if Cao Ang is not allowed to take over, Huaxing can only start a war with Cao Cao in the end and use force to bring history back on track.

So although this statement is mainly a threat, it is not impossible.

When Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite, heard this, a complicated color immediately crossed his eyes.

There is surprise, confusion, anger, and worry......

In the past 20 years, Cao Jun has been much stronger than before.

Not only does it dominate the north, but it also has a million troops (in fact, there are only six or seven hundred thousand soldiers who can fight), and it exists like a hegemon.

And Huaxingjun's side is also developing rapidly.

According to reliable sources, Huaxing currently has 200,000 troops stationed in Yizhou, 200,000 in Jingzhou, 200,000 in Yangzhou, 200,000 in Jiaozhou, and more than 100,000 in the base camp of Luyuan Village.

So in terms of military strength alone, the two are actually comparable.

In addition, through years of observation and understanding, Cao Cao is very clear about Huaxing's ability.

He knew that this guy was not only strong in martial arts, but also good at using soldiers.

After twenty years of conquest, from Liu Biao in Jingzhou to Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and then to Sun Wu in Jiangdong, he has almost no defeats.

Even when the army is inferior to the opponent, he can take advantage of the right time and place, plus endless strategies to turn defeat into victory.

For this reason, people also changed his nickname!

From the previous "Demon from the Sky" to the "God of War", it is enough to prove his super military ability.

Therefore, at the thought of going to war with this kind of person, even the heroic Cao Cao inevitably panicked in his heart, and his eyebrows frowned because of hesitation.

On the one hand, it is half of the country that is given away for nothing, and it can dominate the world without spending a single soldier;

On the other hand, it is a war with the most terrible enemy in the world, and in the end, there will be countless casualties, not to mention, and it is very likely that it will be destroyed by the other party in one fell swoop.

After these two endings were repeated, although Cao Cao felt sorry for Cao Ang, for the sake of the interests of the entire Cao army, he finally made concessions and nodded and agreed:

"Alas! That's it, that's it. This matter is according to what you say, and the old man will accept it all! ”

……

After having dinner with Cao Cao, because it was late, Huaxing spent the night in Cao's mansion, and led the team to leave Xuchang early the next morning.

Getting into the carriage, Hua Xing just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but the curtain was lifted from the outside.

Wu Fan jumped into the carriage, sat opposite Huaxing, and asked with concern on his face:

"How about it, Team Hua, have you talked to Cao Cao? Will he agree to our conditions? ”

"It's all talked." Seeing this, Huaxing had to climb up lazily:

"Not only did he agree, but he also signed an agreement with me, which was similar to what I had expected."

"Oh! That's good. I'm afraid that he will die stubbornly and disagree, and then I will have to fight with him for more than ten years. The sacrifices are all our people, and it makes me panic when I think about it. ”

After shaking his head unbearably, he heard Wu Fan ask again:

"Then isn't there anything going on?"

"Well, everything is arranged, and then we just need to monitor......"

In fact, since the arrival of Huaxing and others in the Eastern Han Dynasty, history has changed in many ways.

For example, the death of Dong Zhuo, the death of Liu Bei, the death of Lu Bu, and the battle of the second Yuan and Cao are all very different from the historical records.

It is impossible to restore an original "Three Kingdoms Era".

But in order to ensure that the course of history does not deviate too much, Huaxing can only reverse the wheel of history in its own way.

For example, he led his troops to take Yizhou and left Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang and others there, which was actually imitating the historical Shu Kingdom.

Later, he sent troops to Yangzhou to capture Eastern Wu, firstly to prevent Cao Cao from capturing it, and secondly, to ensure the smooth development of the Jiangdong region.

Because if Cao Cao is allowed to take Jiangdong in advance, the development of Dongwu will be very different.

Therefore, in Huaxing's view, it is better to take it into its own hands first, provide protection and supervise history.

Of course, in order to retain the characteristics of the Wu State, he also deliberately appointed Sun Quan and Zhou Yu as state pastors, which can be regarded as a different way to return the fate of Jiangdong to the Sun family.

As for the four-point request made with Cao Cao, it was to ensure that the direction of Wei's advance did not change.

Especially Cao Wei's leaders, in Huaxing's view, cannot change at will.

Because once the commander changes, the variables after that are really immeasurable.

Therefore, Huaxing will force Cao Cao to pass the position to Cao Pi, and then pass it to Cao Pi, and then pass it on to Cao Pi, which is consistent with history.

As for the reuse of Sima Yi, it is to help the Sima family develop.

In the end, Sima Yan took power from Cao Cao's grandson Cao Huan, established the Jin state, and ruled the world.
