In the past month, Cao Cao led his army in Zhongmu County, intending to attack the Luoyang area.

This movement immediately aroused the vigilance of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to gather at the Tiger Prison Pass, confronted Cao Cao, and were ready to fight at any time. However, the final result was that neither side made a move, the Shu army did not take a step forward, and the Wei army did not retreat.

Cao Ying, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, and his advisers and generals also laughed.

Clearly, something good is happening.

After the laughter, Cao Cao raised his hand, and the tent suddenly fell silent. Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Zhong Da's soldiers took the state without blood, the news did not reveal anything, and it will take a while to control the entire state, and when Zhong Da controls the state, it will be our killer weapon." Hey, Wang Can thought that Bingzhou was his, but he didn't know that Bingzhou had already been taken by Zhongda. ”

Thinking of Wang Can being kept in the dark, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

In the past ten years, Cao Cao has not been so happy.

When the joy was over, Cao Cao turned his eyes, looked at Man Chong, and asked in a deep voice: "Boning, last time I said that Fu Zhu and Hua Xin bought 30,000 Han knives from Chengdu merchants, where did they send them?" ”

Man Zhong replied: "Back to the lord, the weapon has been shipped out of Yizhou and is heading for Runan. ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly, and ordered: "Hurry up, I have a hunch that the time to start a decisive battle with Wang Can is not far off." At this moment, a soldier quickly ran in from outside the tent and whispered a few words in Man's ear.

Man's face changed drastically, and the soldier retreated.

Cao Cao had a premonition that the situation was not good, and asked, "What happened?" The rest of the people, such as Sima Lang and Liu Ye, all looked at Man Chong with blank eyes, waiting for Man Chong to explain.

Man Pet opened his mouth and said, "Wang Can has ascended the throne." ”

"Boom!!"

The inside of the big tent seemed to explode, and it was noisy and boiling. Everyone's bodies trembled, as if they had been blown by a strong wind, and as if they had been beaten by drumsticks, and even Cao Cao's face showed a look of astonishment. In the blink of an eye, Cao Cao recovered, laughed loudly and said, "A good king first, a good king first!" ”

In the tone, there is admiration, anger, and joy.

He admired Wang Can's courage to be the emperor, and he was angry that Wang Can was openly self-reliant, but he also had the excitement that he could also ascend the throne and become the emperor logically. Cao Cao had mixed feelings in his heart, and it was difficult to sort it out.

Cao Cao has always had a dream of reviving the Han dynasty in his heart, but it is the court **, it is impossible to save it, and he represents the interests of a group, and it is impossible for the people below to let him let him delegate power, so Cao Cao can only go on, and he can't hand over the rights in his hands in order to revive the Han family. Especially after Cao Cao took power, it was even more impossible to give up power for the sake of the Han family.

Husband, don't go a day without power!

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, thinking about how to deal with it?

Xiahoudun said: "King Wei, Wang Can was just a yellow turban thief at the beginning, but now he has ascended the throne and become the emperor. You are a descendant of Xiangguo Cao Shen, from a famous family, what are you waiting for? Choose a good day and ascend the throne as emperor. ”

Zhang Jaw said: "Please King Wei ascend the throne!" ”

This sentence represents the thoughts of most people under Cao Cao. They don't want to fight for Cao Cao and fight for Cao Cao, just to have a good background and a good future.

"King Wei can't!"

When everyone shouted loudly, Liu Ye shouted.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye, a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he asked with a smile: "Ziyang, what do you think?" ”

Even with a smile on Cao Cao's face, Liu Ye also felt a cold breath. The reason for this is understood by himself, because he is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu, and is a relative of the royal family. Liu Ye stopped Cao Cao, many people thought that Liu Ye was to prevent Cao Cao from becoming the emperor and for the sake of the Liu family's world, and the generals and ministers all looked at each other angrily.

How can you stand in the way of everyone's riches?

In front of everyone's eyes, Liu Ye still said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister has a word, please adopt it." ”

Cao Cao said nonchalantly: "Say it! ”

Liu Ye said: "Wang Can brazenly ascended the throne and became the emperor, even if he was supported by the people of Shu, most people in the world still think about the Han family. As the king of Wei, the lord issued a document inviting the benevolent and righteous people of the world to crusade against Wang Can, and immediately occupied the root of morality. Although there is no emperor's order, there is the reality of an emperor, and it is not too late for the lord to defeat Wang Can's army and then ascend the throne and become the emperor. At that time, the enthronement of the lord was expected by all, and no one stopped him. ”

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Morality, can morality stop Wang Can?" What you said is good and reasonable, but you can't use righteousness to defeat Wang Can, you can only use strength. ”

There is a sentence that Cao Cao didn't say in his heart.

When he defeated Wang Can, he used the righteousness of the world, and there will be people who oppose him with righteousness when he ascends the throne in the future. Cao Cao didn't want the banner of righteousness, and simply rejected Liu Ye's proposal.

Liu Ye retreated and stopped talking.

In the face of everyone's opposition, Liu Ye was powerless to turn the situation around.

……

On June 15, Cao Cao announced that he was the emperor, the country was called Wei, the capital was temporarily set in Yecheng, and his eldest son Cao Ang was appointed as the crown prince, and Mrs. Ding was named the empress of Great Wei. All this was done in a hurry, but it could not suppress the joy of the ministers of the Wei State. The coexistence of two emperors in the world indicates that the Han Dynasty has really perished, and after the world is pacified, it will be the rise of another dynasty.

The Han dynasty was completely annihilated.

In the barracks, Cao Cao's service has changed, and he is dressed in the costume of the Son of Heaven. Not only that, but even Cao Cao's camp tent specifications have become the camp tent of the Son of Heaven. Cao Cao was in the camp to deal with military affairs, and a soldier walked in and bowed his hand respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Man is asking to see you outside the camp." ”

"Xuan!!"

Cao Cao was full of style and seemed to be immersed in this atmosphere.

After a while, Man Zhong walked into the big tent, bowed down and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty." ”

Cao Cao raised his head and asked, "Berning, is there something wrong?" ”

Man Chong's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the news of Fu Zhu and Hua Xin in Chengdu was leaked, and they were arrested by Wang Can. Now Hua Xin was released back by Wang Can and was waiting outside the camp. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up suddenly.

Frustration and Hua Xin were exposed, this is worth it!

Man Chong bowed slightly and continued: "Your Majesty, although Hua Xin is back, he was severely beaten by Wang Can when he left Chengdu, and the ribs on his body were broken by Wang Can, and there were countless scars on his body, and he is still covered in wounds. Alas, Hua Xin is a famous man in the world, and Wang Can attacked a scholar who was powerless, which is despicable. ”

Cao Cao sat down again and ordered, "Bring Hua Xin in." ”

"No!"

Man Pet replied and turned to leave.

After a while, Hua Xin walked in tremblingly with the support of the soldiers. On that day, Hua Xin was beaten by Wang Can in the main hall, his ribs were broken, and his body was even more injured. Later, he was sent away by Shi Apai, tortured on the way, and accumulated countless scars on his body, although he did not die, he did not even have the strength to take a step.

After arriving in Runan, Hua Xin got rid of the fate of being tortured.

Along the way, although the rush was urgent, at least there were doctors who treated them, and there were comfortable carriages. In this way, Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief and recovered slowly, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

Rao is like this, Hua Xin's injuries are not healed, and he is still sick.

Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to bring the grass mounds and let Hua Xin sit down. Then he waved his hand and asked the soldiers who were supporting Hua Xin to go out, and then comforted: "Ziyu (Hua Xin), hard work." ”

When Hua Xin heard this, he was moved to tears.

Didn't he suffer in Chengdu just to serve Cao Cao? Cao Cao comforted him, even if his suffering was not in vain. Hua Xin took out a bloodstained letter from inside his shirt, stood up, handed it to Cao Cao tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter that Wang Can asked Weichen to hand over to Your Majesty." ”

Cao Cao opened the letter, looked at it, and looked up at Hua Xin again.

The first sentence on the letter is 'Fengtian rebellion', which means that Wang Can was ordered by Heaven to crusade against Cao Cao, and Cao Cao laughed at this sentence, and he also wanted to crusade against Wang Can under the mandate of Heaven.

After reading the second sentence, Cao Cao's face changed.

Wang Can's letter said: "Brother Meng De, you let Hua Xin and Fu Zhi lurk in Chengdu to buy officials and actively carry out activities, I think it is normal for these brothers to be active, after all, it is normal for us brothers to compete for the world, and it is normal to use some means." However, you let people assassinate my master Cai Yong and eldest son Wang Zhen, this is not right, as the saying goes, it is not enough to kill his wife and children, although assassinating his wife and children is also a means, but it will inevitably lose the face of Brother Meng De. My brother often wondered what would happen if my brother also sent someone to infiltrate Wei and send someone to assassinate Brother Meng De's wife, children, parents, and relatives and friends. ”

said something that made Cao Cao's face red and his ears rose.

Cao Cao is a man of his own pride.

As Wang Can said, assassinating Wang Can, or assassinating Wang Can's subordinate generals, this is a normal means, and Cao Cao can endure such a thing. But when it came to Wang Can's wife and children, Cao Cao was unhappy. If he wants to defeat Wang Can, he will not use this method of assassinating Wang Can's wife and children. Moreover, Cai Yong and Cao Cao have a very good relationship, and they are also teachers and friends.

Assassinating Cai Yong and Cai Yong's grandson, isn't this a slap in Cao Cao's face?

Cao Cao's anger rose in his heart, but his expression was calm, seeing Hua Xin's injuries all over his body, he had a judgment in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Ziyu, what's the matter with your injuries?" ”

Hua Xin said: "Back to Your Majesty, it was Wang Can who beat him." ”

Cao Cao frowned, seemed very unhappy, and asked, "Ziyu, why did Wang Can beat you?" ”

Hua Xin had no remorse for the assassination of Cai Yong and Wang Zhen, and saw Cao Cao's tendency to fight for him, so he immediately said confidently: "Your Majesty, when the minister was in Chengdu, he ordered someone to assassinate Cai Yong and Wang Zhen, but unfortunately it was not successful, but Cai Yong was seriously injured. Wang Can retaliated against Weichen, and beat Weichen all over his body and almost couldn't come back. ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked, and he hooked his hand and said, "Ziyu, come here." ”

When Hua Xin heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and ran to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao said again: "Bend down, bend down!" ”

Hua Xin was confused and didn't understand what Cao Cao meant, but he still immediately bent down, and his old face was next to Cao Cao, as if Cao Cao wanted him to see something.

"Smack!!"

At this moment, a loud slap sounded.

Cao Cao took advantage of Hua Xin's defenselessness and slapped Hua Xin's face fiercely. This time, it was Hua Xin's left cheek that was beaten, which echoed the right cheek that Wang Can had hit at the beginning, one left and one right, which was quite interesting. Cao Cao's shot was also full of power, and he slapped Hua Xin to the ground, making Hua Xin dizzy and confused.

Hua Xin didn't expect Wang Can to beat him, and he still put a trap in the letter and borrowed Cao Cao's hand to clean him up.

If Hua Xin knew the situation, he would definitely tear up the letter and pass the news to Cao Cao.
