Cao **.

Hastily died.

Cao Cao died hastily.

This news was like a time bomb that swept across the Central Plains; Not only the entire Central Plains, even if it is far away in Shuzhong, Xiliang and other wild places, it is also a bombshell. If there is more important news than this today, it is that the Son is dead.

Cao Cao, a hero, died so hastily in a little-known place, although the death was vigorous, but no one in the whole Han did not feel sorry for him. Even Liu Bei, who was far away in Shu, bowed his head in silence for this old opponent.

At least nine out of ten places in the Central Plains were discussing this matter, and it became a matter of who would become the king of Wei. Because Cao ** was very sudden, he must have left no edict, so who will become the real King of Wei?

It stands to reason that the King of Wei has a son-in-law, Cao Pi, and he is the best candidate; It's just that almost even the commoners know that there is a Cao Chong in the palace who is very popular with the King of Wei, and some people say that the third son Cao Zhang is excellent in martial arts, and the fourth son Cao Zhi is brilliant, and they are all good candidates.

Therefore, the next King of Wei will have the final say on the current day.

Although he said that, the real power of the Son of Heaven has long been on the side of the Cao family, if the descendants of the Cao family disregard the world's remarks and become kings, it is not impossible, but that person needs to withstand all kinds of pressure from his own brothers.

If each of Cao Cao's sons wanted to become kings, then the entire Central Plains would ...... I'm afraid that there will be another war!

Until this time, those scholars who usually scolded Cao Cao as a thief seemed to have begun to miss Cao Cao again, because of Cao Cao's existence, the Central Plains could have peace for so many years; If Cao Cao's sons really want to make a big move, then the Central Plains will definitely be miserable and the people will not be able to make a living!

Unbeknownst to them, it was all the work of a conspirator.

Sun Ce of Jiangdong heard that as soon as Cao Cao died, Jingzhou would inevitably have no leader, and he would take Jingbei; But he didn't want to still encounter an extremely terrifying resistance in Jingzhou, and he was almost wiped out.

It wasn't until later that he learned that Xun Gang took advantage of Cao Cao's death to become the real master of Jingzhou, and there was no shortage of military generals under him, and he was merciful in that battle, otherwise Sun Ce might not just lose his troops and lose his generals.

Mainly because Zhou Yu has been seriously ill since the First World War in Chibi, and the military doctor said that he was infected with typhoid fever, and there was no medicine to treat, and he only had more than half a year to live. Sun Ce couldn't bear to watch his brother work on the battlefield anymore, so he left him in Changsha.

After the defeat of Jiangling, Sun Ce did not plan to go north for the time being, his brother followed him for most of his life, and he still had to accompany him in this last time.

But who knows that seeking blessings in danger, not long after, Zhuge Liang came to visit Zhou Yu from Nanyang, and seemed to know that he occasionally had typhoid fever, and actually brought Zhang Zhongjing, who was sitting in Nanyang! Zhang Zhongjing was treated, and Zhou Yu's illness was cured!

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, the opponent arranged by Luo Guanzhong, became an inseparable friend by such a coincidence.

Perhaps only these two great talents know what it means to cherish each other.

At the end of the eleventh year of Jian'an, on this day of national celebration, there was a sadness in Xuchang City; Headed by today's son and supplemented by Xiahoudun, a mourning hall was set up in the palace to welcome back Cao Cao's coffin, Liu Xie was forced to be helpless, and was even forced to kneel in front of Cao Cao's coffin and cry loudly.

He was really crying, he didn't expect that as soon as Cao Cao left, he would be so humiliated!

Liu Xie knew very well in his heart that the Cao family had long had the intention of arrogance, but Cao Cao had been a Hanchen all his life, and he never dared to take that step! Now that Cao Cao is dead, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be forced to give up that position.

This is his wishful thinking, because he thinks that Cao Pi has been designated as the king of Wei, but he doesn't know that the entire Central Plains is making a lot of noise for a while, who still has the leisure to care about him as an emperor?

Even if Cao Pi of Luoyang, Cao Zhang of Jizhou, and Cao Zhi of Yanzhou want to be emperors, then they must first become the king of Wei!

But Liu Xie didn't know, he had already arranged thousands of soldiers and horses inside and outside Xuchang City, with Geng Ji and Wei Huang as the left and right generals. Today, the people of the Cao family are all on this mourning hall, and he wants to wipe them all out and regain the dignity of the emperor!

The third day of the memorial service is an extremely ordinary day, and if it is important, it is that there are only two days left before the twelfth year of Jian'an. Xuchang City is preparing for the New Year, and everyone in the palace must keep filial piety for seven days; Cao Cao's daughter married Liu Xie, and there was nothing wrong with saying that Liu Xie kept filial piety.

It was just noon, and the people in the field were feeling tired and ready to go out for a big meal, and even the soldiers of the town began to whisper, saying something inconsequential, and a conspiracy was slowly going on.

Not long after, with a whistle, I suddenly heard a roar outside the imperial city, and someone was attacking the palace! Everyone in the mourning hall instantly shook their spirits, but not many people felt panicked, after all, the security in Xuchang City has always been very good, at most it was just a small riot!

"Righteous men, kill thieves!"

Just when everyone was relieved, they saw Liu Xie, who was dressed in white on the main seat, suddenly got up and shouted, everyone was shocked, and then they saw a bunch of righteous men wearing black scarves running out of the inner hall, and some people even carried a big banner with four big characters on it: "Return me to the rivers and mountains"! (Yue Fei: ??? ）

These people were prepared by Liu Xie a long time ago, a total of 300 people, Liu Xie first sent 300 eunuchs out on business, and took the opportunity to exchange identities with these people; Those people hid short knives in their shoes and sneaked into the palace for Liu Xie's use, waiting for today!

Seeing this scene, the Cao family, Xiahou family, and retainers in the mourning hall instantly understood what was happening, and some people shouted: "The Son of Heaven has rebelled!" ”

Liu Xie almost exploded when he heard this, Lao Tzu is the Son of Heaven, rebellion? Rebel against your Cao family's rebellion? Immediately, it was decided that Cao Cao's nine clans must be killed, otherwise it would not be enough to stabilize Tianwei!

The nobles of the Cao clan hurriedly called for soldiers to meet the enemy, but they didn't think that the three hundred righteous soldiers had already figured out the defense of this place, and quickly subdued those ironclad soldiers with only short knives, and hundreds of people surrounded the nobles of the Cao clan together and completely captured those people.

Everything went smoothly, Liu Xie took the talisman from Xiahoudun's waist and ordered a soldier to give an order to the soldiers in the palace to stop resisting, open the gate of the imperial city, and welcome the soldiers outside the palace into the palace.

Xiahoudun was blinded, so he could only lower his head and ask, "Your Majesty, how long did it take to prepare for this day?" ”

Liu Xie replied lightly: "I have been preparing for this day since Chang'an, and I don't want to succeed until today...... If it weren't for Cao Cao's thief, no, Cao Cao would die, I'm afraid that I will never turn over! ”

Liu Xie didn't want to call Cao Cao a thief, although he hated Cao Cao to the core, but the dead were great, and Liu Xie still retained the last trace of respect for Cao Cao.

Xiahoudun stopped talking, he knew that the Cao family and Xiahou family in Xuchang City were already late, and he was afraid that it would not be long before the Son of Heaven would go on a killing spree. The bloodline of the Cao family is only left with the four sons outside the territory, as well as Cao Xiu and other clans.

But Xiahoudun was kind, and finally made a request to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister does not dare to ask for forgiveness, but this official of the non-Cao clan in Beijing, I hope Your Majesty will not pursue it!" ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "They are the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, I naturally understand!" ”

Xiahoudun nodded and stopped talking. But in comparison, the people of the other Cao clans cried and begged for forgiveness, and even Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou Xuan, kowtowed and begged the Son of Heaven for forgiveness.

But everything is in vain.

The Son of Heaven officially occupied Xuchang with military talismans, and all the people of the Cao clan were sent to the prison, and the people were still preparing for the New Year, and they didn't seem to know what earth-shattering events had happened in Xuchang City.

All officials are the same, except for some die-hard fans of the Cao family who confronted the Son of Heaven and were dismissed by the Son of Heaven as the people, other people who know the current affairs are still doing their own work, Guo Jia is one of them.

He was a military advisor of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was reappointed as Guangluxun by the Son of Heaven.

Full of favor is like a die-hard fan of the Cao family, who confronted the Son of Heaven in public, and was cut down by the Son of Heaven for the people; But Man Pet was not convinced, and went to Luoyang to seek refuge with Cao Pi.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, officially announced that the Han family had separated from the rule of the Cao family and became an independent regime, at least Xuchangcheng was in his hands. It's just that almost no one pays attention to his remarks, because everyone goes to pay attention to another news on the same day.

On January 1 of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Chong succeeded Cao Cao and entered the King of Wei with the seal of heaven!
