Even Cao Cao himself did not expect that this time his illness was so serious, and the imperial doctors of the imperial court guarded him day and night, but his illness became more and more serious, and after a month of delay, he had already reached the point of dying.

On March 15 in the spring of the 11th year of Jian'an, it was the season of spring flowers, but Cao Cao's illness became heavier and heavier, and he gradually reached the point of dying.

Originally, Cao Cao thought that he didn't care about the success or failure, so after losing the land of Xudu and Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he was able to move to Xuzhou calmly and continue to live the life of a prince on his side, and even he once thought that he would die like this, but it was not until Sun Quan was defeated and surrendered that he realized that he was so close to the final defeat, so close that he only needed an order from the other party to go down, and he was immediately facing destruction, which made Cao Cao really unbearable, and he struggled for 20 years and worked hard to establish a foundation, in the eyes of others, it is actually a joke.

"Sun Quan Xiaoer can endure humiliation and become someone else's prisoner, but I can't, I lost the protection of the Son of Heaven, I am a thief, everyone spurns, and my ancestors are ashamed, so I can't bear that humiliation at all, I know that the reason why I have been able to stay in Xuzhou safely for so many years is just to guard the Son of Heaven for him, he doesn't want to welcome back the Son of Heaven, but if the world is unified, even if he welcomes the Son of Heaven back, with his high prestige, plus he is still a member of the Han family, even if he really usurps the throne, No one will say anything, after all, the Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is still the descendants of Gaozu, so I am gradually useless, as long as I am useless, he can find a reason to destroy my foundation at will, in this case, why should I cherish this life? It is better to die early to avoid humiliation in the future. It's just a pity that my children and grandchildren will be implicated in the future......"

These days, Cao Cao is most concerned about his sons, looking at the more than 20 sons around him, as well as the young and beautiful concubines around him, Cao Cao is very sad, his net worth is not guaranteed, and they will also be affected in the future.

"It's a pity that my eldest son Ang'er is not there, if he is still alive and inherits my position, he may be able to keep his whole family in the future, and these other children, Zhi'er is the most talented, but he is the most unsuitable to be a monarch, only Pi'er can barely succeed to the throne in terms of age and ability, but his temperament is too ruthless, and my inheritance will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later, but if it is not for him to inherit, I am afraid that as soon as I die, this inheritance will collapse immediately, only these ministers in the court, There is no son other than him who can cope with it. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to take Cao Pi as his heir, and appointed his brother Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun Auxiliary Government and his confidant Hua Xin Auxiliary Government, and required the civil and military generals and sons to unconditionally obey Cao Pi's orders, just like treating Cao Pi as he did, "No matter who dares to disobey the order, the rest of the people must unite and kill him, and they must not be buried in the ancestral grave after death!" ”

When Cao Cao said this, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't expect that his last words would be somewhat similar to Sun Ce back then. Sun Ce established Sun Quan, which eventually led to the fall of Jiangdong and established Cao Pi himself, and this foundation will be buried sooner or later, I really don't know if it's a coincidence?

Then Cao Cao called Cao Pi to himself, and ordered everyone to go out, and then asked Cao Pi: "Wu'er, you have also seen it, if the princes are wiped out today, dozens of forces have disappeared back then, only Liu Chan and I in Shu are left, even so, our survival is between Liu He and Yiyi, after you inherit the position of the Duke of Chu, you must remember that you must be respectful to Liu He, tolerant of your brothers, and respectful to the Son of Heaven, now your sister is a concubine in the palace, as long as you are respectful enough, Even if Liu He leads the army into the court, he can save his life, but if you act recklessly and dare to abolish the establishment, you are doomed to be ruined in the future and have no place to be buried, in this case, you are the bane of the whole clan, as well as your mother Ding. Although she is not your biological mother, she has also raised you since childhood, and she has refused to come back all these years, and you wait for me to die, and take her back to enjoy a few years of happiness......"

Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's original match, because Cao Ang's death and Cao Cao turned against him, Cao Cao was angry and sent it back to his parents' house, and then Cao Cao went to pick it up several times, Mrs. Ding always ignored it, Cao Cao had no choice but to set up Cao Pi's biological mother Mrs. Bian, Cao Cao was going to wait for his death to take Mrs. Ding back, but when he thought that Mrs. Ding was not Cao Pi's biological mother, and Cao Pi was going to perish sooner or later, even if he came, he might be affected by him, so he extinguished this thought, and sighed softly: "That's it, don't force her if she doesn't come, However, if any of your younger brothers provoke you, I hope you will not kill them, and send them to your Ding mother to be her companion, which can be regarded as a filial duty. Those concubines of mine are very hard, you let them live in Tongquetai and settle them well. You should always go up to the Bronze Bird Terrace and visit my cemetery in the western suburbs. The rest of the incense may be given to the ladies, and it is not necessary to sacrifice to me. The concubines in each room had nothing to do, so they could learn to make straps and shoes to sell. ”

After saying this, Cao Cao waved his hand, originally wanted Cao Pi to call everyone again, but suddenly stopped Cao Pi and said: "My son came back, my father almost forgot one thing, I know that you and Sima Zhongda have always been friends, but this person is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and he will definitely interfere in your family affairs in the future, so it must not be reused." ”

Cao Cao said the last words, almost exhausted the strength of his whole body, and then looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and cried three times: "I was born at the right time, fought for more than ten years, coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to be a minister, a very good minister, it can be described as a blessing; However, I was born at the wrong time, but I met Liu He, and repeatedly made my plan not realize, and finally trapped in Xuzhou. It can be described as unfortunate, the heavens also, both life and exercise, what life and? If you are born and, what is the life and harmony? ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao vomited three liters of blood, and a generation of traitorous males passed away suddenly.

"Father." When Cao Pi saw Cao ** go, he was sad in his heart, cried loudly, tears rained down, and asked the court to inherit Cao Cao's position as prime minister and Duke of Chu, and asked Cao Cao for a nickname and posthumously awarded an official position.

Subsequently, as if he had forgotten Cao Cao's orders, Cao Pi ordered Sima Yi to mourn Cao Cao, which led to Sima Yi's comeback after being idle for several years.
