Cao Cao's army was stationed in the major cities in Liangzhou to prevent Liu Bei from going north, and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, as well as Cheng Yu to command the troops.

Cao Cao quickly returned to Xudu with all the remaining immortal masters, and he didn't bring any ordinary soldiers.

Although the generals were puzzled by Cao Cao's order, since Cao Cao decided to do so, the generals did not ask much, and everyone thought that Cao Cao's move was to prepare for the continued attack on Hanzhong next year.

After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he ordered someone to renovate a large house in the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the windows of the house were blocked, the roof was reinforced, and the door was made into a double set of doors to ensure the airtightness of the house.

After the house was improved, Cao Cao personally entered the house and felt it carefully, and was very satisfied with the airtightness of the house. Then Cao Cao squatted in the dark house, releasing a certain degree of Xuan Qi into the house.

After Cao Cao came out, he sent 500 elites to keep a close watch over the house day and night, and at the same time ordered Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian, Yu Ban, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Zhang He, Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Wen Ping, and Cao Xiu, a total of 17 people to enter the black house to cultivate.

After cultivating in the house for three days, everyone came out one after another, and after everyone came out, they all felt that their previous immovable realm had loosened again, and they could continue to improve their cultivation. So everyone joined hands to thank Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said happily when he saw everyone: "Brothers, I am very happy to see that your cultivation has been improved one by one. I hope that all the brothers will continue to practice diligently after they go back, and strive to win Yizhou in one fell swoop after the beginning of spring next year. ”

"Yes!" Everyone was full of confidence and clenched their fists to receive their lives.

Cao Cao continued: "The strength of the brothers can continue to improve, but the strength of the brothers who are on guard outside has not been improved, but are there any brothers who are willing to replace them?" ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi stood up and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to Liangzhou to replace Cheng Junshi." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! Na Zhongda will leave for Liangzhou tomorrow. Zhongda, after arriving in Liangzhou, you must beware of Liu Beijun's northward movement. ”

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely protect Liangzhou for my lord." Sima Yi swore an oath.

Cao Cao nodded and said happily: "Okay!" ”

After Sima Yi retired, Cao Ren and Yu Ban replaced the two brothers, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan.

Cao Cao then sent Le Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Zhang He to Liangzhou to lead the army, and all the generals received the order.

Cao Cao frowned and sighed after the generals left: "There are too few immortal masters!" How are there only seventeen?! That's not going to work! Even if you count all the guards on duty outside, there are only about forty people, and I have to find a way to organize more immortal masters. ”

Cao Cao thought of this and began to think about it, Cao Cao naturally remembered the regret left in Cao Cao's original spirit, that is, the death of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be happy when he thought of this: What is there to regret about this? Since the two of them are very strategic immortal masters, then I will resurrect them.

What our Xuan Master is best at is resurrecting dead immortal masters, as long as they have a trace of primordial spirit, then I can resurrect them.

Thinking of the resurrection immortal master, Cao Cao couldn't help but light up his eyes: "That's right! I can resurrect a few more of those dead immortals! ”

Cao Cao quickly shook his head again: "No! Those immortal masters who don't support me still can't be resurrected, otherwise they will only cause trouble for themselves. The candidate for this immortal master to be resurrected must be carefully considered. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao began to search for the memories of Cao Cao, who he fused, and soon determined the candidates he wanted to resurrect, namely: Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

After Cao Cao investigated Cao Cao's memory, he sighed: "This Cao Cao can really kill people!" So many dead immortal masters are his enemies! There are very few who can be resurrected! ”

Cao Cao then couldn't help but rejoice: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." After Hua Xiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are resurrected, Guan Yu in Jingzhou will go to burp! Hahaha! ”

Cao Cao made a decision and immediately carried it out, and he ordered the craftsmen to build the altar according to his request. As for the body, Cao Cao directly chose those martial artists under his command who were enough to open up the meridians of the whole body, as long as he could see it.

Now Cao Cao doesn't care about the life or death of ordinary people, in Cao Cao's eyes, ordinary people are no different from ants!

When Cao Cao was preparing to resurrect the dead, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, who returned home, came to the secret room at home to discuss.

Sima Lang said to Sima Yi in a deep voice: "Zhongda, do you see anything?" ”

Sima Yi nodded: "Yes, brother, Cao Cao, who came back from Hanzhong, has changed!" Not only did Cao Cao lose a little bit of his ancient state, but he also became stronger! ”

Sima Lang nodded and frowned, "You can see it too!" This shows that I was not mistaken. So Cao Cao got an adventure in Hanzhong? Not only did he break through his own cultivation, but he also helped us to break through in our cultivation!! ”

Sima Yi bowed slightly: "It should be like this." Brother, what do we do now? ”

Sima Lang frowned and said, "Wait until I calculate a hexagram for Cao Cao first, and see how Cao Cao's lifespan is." ”

After Sima Lang finished speaking, he took out three copper coins and began divination.

After a while, Sima Lang frowned and said, "How is this possible?" ”

Sima Yi looked at the surprised Sima Lang: "What's the matter, brother?" ”

Sima Lang frowned and said, "The hexagram shows that Cao Cao is already dead!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Sima Yi stood up and looked at Sima Lang in surprise.

Sima Lang said: "There will be no mistake!" ”

Sima Yi frowned when he heard this, and at the same time, his eyes rolled rapidly.

After a few breaths, Sima Yi slowly sat down: "Brother, if Cao Cao is dead, it means that this Cao Cao is fake now, but Cao Cao's physical body is real, and the strong man who took Cao Cao took over everything that Cao Cao controlled during his lifetime!" ”

Sima Lang nodded: "That's true!" In this way, the future of our Sima family will have to find another place! ”

Sima Yi didn't speak when he heard this, but thought quietly.

After a while, Sima Yi looked up at Sima Lang: "Brother, let's go to Yizhou to join Liu Bei." ”

Sima Lang sighed: "For now, I can only choose this way." There is no point in us staying in the Central Plains any longer, if Cao Cao does not die, our Sima family will not have any chance.

The family in Yangzhou is not familiar with our Sima family, and we will not be treated well when we go to Yangzhou. And when it comes to Liu Bei, there is a lot of opportunity. It's just that since then, most of our Sima family will follow the old path of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. ”

Sima Yi nodded: "There is no other way!" Now that Jiangbei is all under Cao Cao's control, if we want to start an incident in Jiangbei, there is no possibility of success at all, so we can only take refuge in Liu Bei. ”

Sima Lang got up and said angrily: "Damn! Our Sima family is a famous family in the world, and we want to commit ourselves to a weaving mat seller! ”

Sima Yi stood up and stroked Sima Lang's back: "If the elder brother doesn't want to go, don't go, I'll take the younger brothers to Yizhou." ”

Hearing this, Sima Lang glared at Sima Yi: "Go!" Why don't I go? I also have a responsibility for the future of the Sima family! After Liu Bei's death, the Sima family took control of Yizhou, which was when the Sima family ruled the world! ”

Sima Yi nodded: "Brother, the younger brother thought about this when he saw Cao Cao, so the younger brother asked Cao Cao for an errand to go to Liangzhou to replace Cheng Yu, but the younger brother never expected that Cao Cao would be taken away by the strong!" I really don't know which strong person did it? ”

Sima Lang looked at Sima Yi in surprise: "Zhong Da is wise! The Sima family has you as a family! ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly and did not speak.

Sima Lang continued: "Let's clean up tonight, and leave Xudu with our family tomorrow morning." ”

Sima Yi nodded: "My brother took the guards and all the younger brothers to Chengdu directly, and I followed Cao Ren and them to Liangzhou first, and then waited for the opportunity to enter Hanzhong, and then transferred to Chengdu." ”

Sima Lang nodded, and then walked out of the secret room with Sima Yi.

Early in the morning of the second day, Sima Yi followed Cao Ren to say goodbye to Cao Cao, and then rode to Liangzhou with Cao Ren.

At the same time, Sima Lang took a group of younger brothers to leave Xudu in a carriage and made a detour to Chengdu. Fifty Sima family guards waiting for ten miles outside Xudu City escorted Sima Lang and his party all the way.

On the night after Cao Ren and the others left, Cao Cao began to resurrect Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Because when resurrecting people, it is necessary to summon part of the deceased's original gods, and the mana required to consume a lot of mana, so Cao Cao ordered that no one should disturb him.

When Cao Cao successfully resurrected Guo Jia and the other six people, it was already twenty days later.

As soon as Cao Cao appeared, Jia Xu stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the Sima clan has defected!" ”
