To the north of Yecheng, Tongquetai rises from the ground. Since Cao Cao excavated the copper bird, his head no longer hurts, and the person is also refreshed, so he ordered the construction of the copper bird platform, which is high and far away, and has a view of the world.

The bronze bird platform is a collection of beautiful women he has taken captive, most of them are the wives of his subordinates or opponents, and now they have become his bag, and a kind of pleasure of conquest arises spontaneously. However, what he regrets the most is Zhen Ji, who is known as the first beauty in the Northland. It would be nice if she was also hidden in the Bronze Bird Terrace.

Today, looking from the building, a cold wind blew, Cao Cao woke up from a nap, but he had a headache again. Since Hua Tuo, a scheming miracle doctor, was imprisoned half a year ago, and then the headache has often recurred, what flashed in his mind was the tragic situation of the defeat in Yuyang.

Yuan Xi entered the state like lightning, stationed troops in Montenegro, and claimed to have 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, which made the entire Yecheng rumor. Cao Ren proposed to withdraw from Yijing and shrink his forces, and now all of them have retreated to the south of Yishui, and Nanpi is also in danger.

From the narrow victory in Guandu to the north, the former limelight was gradually contained, as if an invisible hand was quietly pressing on his head, making him unable to stretch his body.

At this time, he thought of Guo Jia, a strategist who could always show him the way, and when he was helpless about the future, he always wanted to hear Guo Jia's opinion.

With a twist of his fingers, he is also nearly fifty this year, more than half of his life, if Hebei is successfully pacified, the army will go south, and the world can be determined. The 400-year-old Han dynasty could end at his hands and usher in another prosperous era.

But Yuan Xixiao'er was not in a hurry at all, obviously he had shrunk the battle line, but the other party still didn't take a step forward, as if he was afraid of taking advantage of him. So they confronted each other and stalemate, and no one could help anyone.

However, Yuan Xi was young and could afford to drag it out, but he Cao Cao had no time.

When Cao Cao thought of this, he immediately began to have a headache again. Outside, Ding Yi asked to see, this is also a talented man, he is very talented, and he has a relationship with Cao Cao, he is Ding Chong's son, Ding Chong is Cao Cao's old friend, and Ding Chong's sister is Cao Cao's main room. Therefore, the descendants of this son and nephew are often mentioned by Cao Cao.

Today, Ding Yi got a good poem, and specially came to Cao Cao to appreciate it. The two said a few words without pain, and Ding Yi retired. But Cao Cao's head hurt even more. Although Ding Yi didn't point it out obviously, he all hinted at one thing, this matter was indeed imminent.

That is Cao Zhi's status as a son.

Originally, Cao Cao named Cao Pi as the prince, and he also obtained the approval of his important ministers, and his name was justified. Now Cao Pi is trapped in the enemy camp, and his life and death are uncertain. But Zhen Ji escaped, but Cao Pi never came back. made the dispute between the sons of the world, which had been settled, suddenly become confusing again.

Cao Zhi's family of people and horses were ready to move, and they nagged in front of Cao Cao's ears several times. And Cao Cao's health is deteriorating, and this issue is indeed on the agenda.

People are like this, if it is smooth sailing and ambitious, then people will also become younger, and if they hit a wall, then their health will gradually deteriorate. Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles away, this sentence is indeed true, but the bright future collapsed overnight, and no one can support it.

I was in a trance for a while, and in the evening, another messenger came to report that Yuan Xi sent a letter.

Cao Cao remembered that this was the third letter Yuan Xi wrote to himself, the first one, before attacking Nanpi, to persuade himself to surrender, he laughed at it at the time, but he was almost attacked by Gao Shun's stealing camp and fled in a hurry. The second letter was that after retreating to the plains, he was ready to plot against Nanpi again, but Yuan Xi proposed to defend Youzhou in exchange for peace. still laughed at it, and the result was in Yuyang, a thousand miles away.

Now this third letter, Cao Cao no longer dares to ignore it, but when he opens it, he almost spits out a mouthful of old blood. The letter mentioned that he wanted to exchange Cao Pi for a Yecheng.

If he exchanged Yecheng for his son, how to explain to the soldiers who were killed and wounded for the siege, if not, the question of the heir will cause controversy among all parties. The fight between his two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, will intensify the conflict between the open and the covert.

Yuan Xi's letter simply added fuel to the fire and gave Cao Cao a problem.

This night, Cao Cao's ministers gathered. Three days later, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others entered Yecheng to discuss important matters. Ten days later, Cao Cao officially established Cao Zhi as his son. As soon as this news came out, he wanted to treat Cao Pi as an outcast and make a tough statement to Yuan Xi, who took hostages.

Then, that month, Cao Pi was released and returned. The problem of the son of the world has not been solved, but has intensified. As for why Yuan Xi let Cao Pi return, there are really too many meanings in it. After Cao Pi's return, the contradiction between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi was completely made public.

Tongquetai is a group of buildings built on the basis of the palace in ancient times, Cao Cao lives in the highest Tongquetai main building, on the third floor, a window is blown by the cold wind and bangs, suddenly snapped, the window was blown open, hit the wall, and the cold wind poured straight in.

Cao Cao, who was upset by the headache, suddenly roared angrily, and the little waiter hurriedly ran over to close the window. However, Cao Cao's rule is that no one is allowed to enter the bedroom, so he was angry and drew his sword and groaned. The little inner attendant was beheaded by the sword, and blood was all over the ground.

After killing one person, Cao Cao's irritable heart suddenly calmed down, and there was a kind of coldness at the end of the road. He called for someone to clean the ground, and then the house was bloody, so he put on a garment and walked out.

Outside, the wind was blowing in the tiny cracks of the eaves and pavilions, and there was a boo sound. There was no moonlight in the sky, only the bright lights of the stars flickered in the buildings.

He had just left the building, under the right and left guards, but he didn't know where to go. A medical officer surnamed Han came with a medicine box on his back and persuaded him: "Adults should not blow the wind, please go back to the house quickly." ”

Cao Cao looked at the conscientious doctor and asked, "Is that Hua Tuo still in prison now?" ”

Doctor Han said: "I have already been given death by adults. ”

Cao Cao remembered it at this time, but he forgot it for a while, and as for why a folk divine doctor was executed at that time, he also remembered it at this time.

"Is Hua Tuo really a miracle doctor?" Cao Cao asked casually.

Doctor Han didn't know how to answer for a while, this Prime Minister Cao Cheng spoke falsely and truthfully, which made people unable to guess. If he said that Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor, wouldn't Cao Cao, who executed Hua Tuo, be guilty of a crime. If Hua Tuo deceived the world and stole his name, then why did someone recommend Hua Tuo at that time.

Doctor Han was still thinking about it, and Cao Cao said again: "It doesn't matter if it's a miracle doctor or not, the important thing is that the person is dead." ”

This is a good reply, and Dr. Han is not without emotion. Whether this Hua Tuo has real material or not, he naturally knows very well. It is said that the other party also has a green bag book handed down, and for healers, this is a holy book.

Cao Cao muttered at this time: "This Hua Tuo is a demon. How did he guess the two words that Bong Hyo said before he died? Such a demon cannot be kept ......"

This is the reason why Hua Tuo was killed.

That night, news came out from Yecheng that Cao Cao had died.
