During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang.

"The capable minister who rules the world by the son, and the traitor who is in troubled times." Xu Zijiang said to me.

"A traitor in troubled times? Xu Zijiang, did you say something wrong? I narrowed my eyes and stared at him. The capable minister who rules the world, Cao thinks that he is far behind. There are so many heroes and heroes, and I am just a prodigal, how can He De be rated as a capable minister? Can be a traitor in troubled times.......

"Cao Mengde, whether you believe it or not depends on you, I just say what I should say." Xu Zijiang lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and there was no trace of inappropriateness on his face.

"Hmph, it turns out that Xu Shao, a celebrity, is also a wave of vain fame." I waved my sleeves dismissively. Although the Han has its drawbacks, it is still our Han and our country. If someone wants to face our motherland, Cao also has a lot of blood! Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!

Xu Shao looked up slightly, his eyes full of pity.

——————————————————————————————

Emperor Ling Xiping for three years, I was raised as filial piety and entered Luoyang as a lang. Soon after, I was appointed lieutenant of northern Luoyang, in charge of public security in northern Luoyang. Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are many royal relatives and nobles living in the north. Ordinary people are afraid of them, but is Cao an ordinary person? The reason why the Han Dynasty has fallen to this point is that those children of the eunuchs who rely on their power to make fortune are the culprits!

Don't you think you're powerful? Then let's compare who has more power behind it!

"My lord, more than ten five-colored sticks were made by order."

"Hang me on the left and right of the yamen, and there are those who violate the ban. Kill them all! ”

I could see the officials under him looking at each other, sweat instantly covering their foreheads.

"My lord, please forgive the villain...... All the people who live here are nobles, and we ......."

"What are you afraid of. I will take care of something, so you don't need to worry. ”

"......"

I sighed, I didn't understand what was going on in their hearts. Although they are officials, what is the difference between them and dispensable pawns in the eyes of those nobles? When they die, they die, and who weeps for them but their loved ones? But if those warriors die at their hands, the people behind them will not spare them. In their eyes, I am also a member of the Nashi clan.

"If you don't dare, then I will be executed myself!"

The scholars and commoners are all my Han people. When were they divided like two kingdoms?

In the beginning, no one took my ban seriously. But I'm the son of a captain, and they don't want to lose my face on the surface. In their minds, I'm just a hairy boy. What he did was just three fires for the new official to take office. After a long time, it is natural that some people will take my words as a deaf ear.

That night, my subordinates reported to me that Jian Shuo's uncle had violated the curfew and asked me what to do.

"Bring it to me!"

Jian Shuo's uncle thought it was a formality, but when he came in, he still had a smile on his face. Joke. It's really a joke, is Cao's determination just empty words on the surface? If you want the Han to restore its former glory, the first thing to be eradicated is such people who ignore the ban as if they were nothing! The law is for all, and all the great men are to keep it. The gentry did not obey the ban. Where is the law of the Han Dynasty?

I killed him with my own hands, and I felt a burst of happiness in my heart. However, the pleasure was followed by a deep confusion.

Dahan. What's going on?

Our big man, what's wrong!

——————————————————————————

Ten years later. The first year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, I was worshiped as a cavalry lieutenant and was ordered to join forces with Lu Zhi and others to attack the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army. In the past ten years, I have matured a lot, and I am no longer the young man who could kill people for the sake of a momentary anger. I was angry when someone rebelled, but a voice in my heart told me that it wasn't their fault.

It was the group of stupid people who were in charge of the big man who caused all this!

But what can I do?

I'm just the son of an official eunuch, a little cavalry lieutenant, what can I do!

In that battle, we broke the Yellow Turban Thieves. Lu Zhi and the others ignored my dissuasion, and insisted on chasing and killing the thieves when they were in chaos, and finally beheaded tens of thousands of people. These are my Han people, all civilians who were forced by the group of corpses to eat vegetarian food, and they would only rebel if they didn't even have a way to live. Look at their weapons, some of them are just holding wooden sticks!

It is not their fault, but they want to use their own blood and their own lives to "atone" for the sins of others!

Big man, what's wrong with you?

Is this still our big man!

After the war, I was relocated to Jinan for "war exploits". Heh, "war exploits"? The exploits of war written in the blood of the people of the Great Han themselves? There are obviously strong enemies around, but I have gained "war merits" for killing my own people! A group of unclothed victims, such people should have been rescued by the Han Dynasty, but they all became "war exploits"!

I wanted to resign from this official, but I don't want to see more people of the big Han become the "military merits" of others' promotions. Is Jinan Xiang? Then I'll let Jinan have no more "war exploits". Perhaps it was my actions in Luoyang that reached here, and all the officials were extremely afraid of me. I don't know who any of them are, if they kill Zhongliang by mistake, wouldn't it make their relatives bitter and enemies happy?

I decided to wait and see for a while.

As it turned out, I was wrong.

There are more than 10 state-owned counties in Jinan, and the county magistrates are mostly dependent on the nobles, corrupt and bend the law, and have no scruples.

I began to vigorously rectify, and eight chief officials were dismissed at one time, Jinan was shaken, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials fled one after another. People say that Jinan is "a great political and religious country, and a county is peaceful". But who knows the remorse in my heart? If I had done this from the beginning, the people of Jinan would have been less exploited, and how many families would have been spared the end of their families?

I feel at ease to be my own Jinan Xiang, and I want to turn this place into a paradise on earth. As long as I have enough merits, one day I will be able to enter Luoyang again, and I will be a great man in the world! No one will be forced to rebel, and no one will be slaughtered by us who should be protected by us!

I was wrong again.

The darkness inward was heavier than I had imagined. They don't need people like me, they need the kind of officials who can "do things" for them. My father scolded me in a letter that day. Saying that I don't understand politics and that I have erected too many enemies for him in the DPRK. My father also said that if I want to continue to be this Jinan minister, I have to be a "normal" official!

Hehe. Cao Mengde, who caters to that group of powerful people, is it still Cao Mengde? If you have to cater to them as an official, then what is the difference between me and them!

This official, don't do it!

I returned to my hometown due to illness, studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and lived a very leisurely life.

Is that enough?

This...... Is that the life I want?

Big Han, big man, are you really going to the end?

I'm alone. And what can be done......

————————————————————————————————

Five years later, Emperor Ling set up the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan. Because of my father's official position, I was also appointed as a military captain. My heart, which had been silent for a long time, was once again rippling, and I did not hesitate to go to work. This is an army that only belongs to His Majesty the Spirit Emperor. You should have a chance to be appreciated by Your Majesty, right? As long as this is the case, one day you will be able to rise to the top and kill those dogs.

It's always me who is wrong.

Emperor Ling saw it, but he was nothing. Addicted to lustful dogs and horses all day long, national affairs are controlled by a group of eunuchs. The eight lieutenants of the West Garden were set up only to consolidate the crumbling rule. His pig brain even knew that the Dahan Mansion was going to fall! I really want to resign and go into hiding, but I can't let go of Dahan, and I have been thinking about whether I can work hard to save Dahan's foundation.

I was born as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and I will die in the land of the Han Dynasty!

Same. Emperor Ling died, and Liu Wei was appointed as the young emperor. The young emperor was young. In the government and the opposition, it is exactly the same as before. A year later, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. Abolish the young emperor, set up the emperor Liu Xie, and later killed the queen mother and the young emperor, claiming to be the prime minister, specializing in court politics. At this point, the Han can be said to exist in name only.

What can I do?

What should I do?

Kill Dong Zhuo?

Oh, what's the difference between him dying and not dying. If a Dong Zhuo dies, maybe Yuan Zhuo, Sun Zhuo, and even Cao Zhuo will pop out. Unless Emperor Xian himself can be in charge of the government, but is that possible? If you don't talk about others, the Cao family won't agree. No one wants to save the fate of the Great Han, everyone is sitting and watching the Great Han perish.

Hahahaha, then how about letting Cao Someone shed this last drop of blood for the big man!

I approached him under the pretext of offering the seven-star sword to Dong Zhuo, and wanted to kill this usurper with my martial arts. I didn't have a good plan, I didn't even have a way to escape, because I didn't even think about surviving. Yes, we will die together; No, Cao is the only one who dies!

I only hope that Cao Cao's life can awaken the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty!

A capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times?

No, Cao Cao will always be a minister of the Han Dynasty!

Gone?

Sorry, Cao can't see me!

Xu Zijiang, you are really a wasted person!

————————————————————————————————

The assassination failed, but I didn't die. Obviously, Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd has already slashed at me, why haven't I died yet?

"Woke up?" An old man's flat voice rang in my ears.

"Who are you? But you saved Cao? I opened my eyes and looked at the old man who was talking. The man was wearing a Taoist robe, and his white hair was meticulously combed. Although wrinkles have crept up on the face, it always looks young, which is extremely weird.

"It was Ben Xian who saved you."

"Why?"

The old man didn't answer, glanced at me indifferently, and said, "The name of this immortal is Zuo Ci, and the character is put, you should remember it." ”

I frowned, why did this man give me a sense of danger?

"As for why I saved you...... Do you want to build a peaceful and prosperous world? ”

I was slightly stunned: "Naturally." "It's strange that he is talking about the establishment of a peaceful and prosperous world, but he does not mention the Han Dynasty. Could it be that he is also a member of the rebels and thieves, one of the traitors who want to usurp the Han? In that case, why did you choose me again, don't you know that it is impossible for me to betray the big man?

"That's fine. The three brothers of this immortal master view that you have the appearance of an emperor, and you can be the emperor of the new dynasty. However, you have a lot of fate, and if you are not careful, you will die. This immortal doesn't want the emperor to die halfway, so he comes to help you. The old man swept the dust and said something indifferent and shocking.

I? The Emperor's Appearance?

Even if there is really an emperor, I will strangle it in the cradle!

But...... This old man, who calls himself an immortal, says he wants to help me. Why not take advantage of him? But it's just a cultivator of immortals, isn't Zhang Jiao also dead in our hands? He can summon thunder to help, presumably his cultivation should not be weak. As long as he can regain the glory of Dahan, even if he dies with him, Cao will not blink an eye!

"Is there a condition?" I'm set my mind. Shen Sheng asked.

"Naturally. This immortal helps you ascend the throne and become the emperor, you should inform this immortal of the location of the dragon vein, so that the transaction can be made. ”

"Dragon vein?"

"You don't have to know that, you'll know where the dragon veins are from the moment you ascend the throne."

I took what he said to heart and asked, "Then how do you help Cao?" ”

"Plenty of money and food. The ancient emperors can be crowned heroes if they get one of them, and you are born with the appearance of an emperor, which is naturally no exception. ”

"Good!"

————————————————————————————————

I escaped from Luoyang and returned to my hometown to recruit troops. There was plenty of money and food and grass. An army of 5,000 men took shape in an instant. It's not that I can't recruit more soldiers, it's just that I don't want too many of the Han people to die in the civil war. The ambitions of the wolves of the surrounding tribes are obvious, and if we fight too much, we will let them take advantage of it.

A vague idea sprouted in my mind at the beginning.

I sent a message to the people of the Han Dynasty, hoping that they could help me. They did respond to me. But what they secretly think is known only to them. We got together and jointly elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the Dong Alliance. The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, his reputation is unparalleled for a while, and there is nothing wrong with recommending him, but I always feel uneasy.

Now I know how important a counselor is to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be as hard as I am now.

As it turns out, and I guessed correctly, they do have two hidden intentions.

I led the army to fight Dong Zhuo, but there was not a single reinforcement in the rear. As a result, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they returned with a heavy defeat. I finally got it. They claim to be the people of the Han Dynasty, but in fact they are all usurpers and traitors! On the land of the Han Dynasty. Is there not a real man left?

No, there are others, I'm still a big man!

I believe that there must be people like me among the big men, and I should not be alone!

—————————————————————————————————

With the help of Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Nanhua, my power is getting bigger and bigger, and I also ushered in Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. One day I will die, and when the time comes, the world of this big man will still be a big man, and no one will want to snatch it away! I carefully teach Emperor Xian every day, hoping that he will not become a faint monarch like Emperor Ling. It turns out that I am not a good teacher, and Emperor Xian is close to me on the surface, but in fact he is secretly wary of me.

I know what he wants, isn't it military power? But I didn't dare to give it to him. Look at what he does every day, frolicking with the palace maids, but he doesn't read any books on the art of war, strategy, and statecraft, only when I go, I pretend to look twice. Not only that, but he always thought that he was the ruler of the world, and thought that I had limited him.

Such a lofty person, can I hand over the military and political power to him?

Anyway, I can only look forward to the heirs of the emperor. I hope God will give me more life, so that I can educate the new emperor to be a qualified monarch and take my life.

During this time, I found a lot of like-minded people with me. Among them, there are strategists and generals, and everyone is fighting and fighting for a goal. Although it was tiring, although there was pain, we didn't care about it. As long as we can restore the glory of Dahan, our efforts are all worth it.

The ideas that were just budding before are becoming clearer and clearer, and they are about to come out.

However, because of my actions, Yuan Shao in the north was quite dissatisfied with me. He gathered his army and tried to destroy me in one fell swoop. It was a dark time, and the people under his rule were terrified, thinking that we were going to be finished. Isn't that what I think in my heart? The Yuan family's power is ten times stronger than mine, as long as they pour out of the nest, I will definitely die.

To add insult to injury, my strategist Xi Zhicai died of illness. I weep, but tears can't be exchanged for human life.

Luckily, I met Guo Jia.

That day, I went out ten miles to greet each other, but I was at a loss in my heart. I don't know if he can replace Xi Zhicai, I hope the person recommended by Xun Yu will not be bad. With that in mind, I saw him. He was ordinary, pale, and always coughing. I smiled and met him, but he turned and walked away.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Cao Gong doesn't trust Jia, why should Jia be bored?"

I was taken aback. Did he see it?

"That's right, Cao doesn't trust you. Cao hadn't even seen you in person before, how could he trust you? But Cao is willing to give you time to prove yourself. Whether you really have the ability is not something that others say, time will tell! If you're afraid. Let's leave, Cao will not stop it. ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Gong Cao doesn't have to provoke me. If ordinary people listen to Cao Gong's words, they will be eager to prove themselves, and eventually die in urgency; If you are a high-minded and arrogant person, you must have brushed your sleeves away at this time. But Jia is Jia, why choose the same path as them? Jia only needs to speak to Cao Gong once, which is enough to prove Jia's talent. ”

"Really?"

"If it is false, Cao Gong can make Jia drunk to death."

"Good!"

That night. We had a long talk. Guo Jia really did what he said, and with just one sentence, I was stunned and saw the way forward in the darkness. I willingly knelt down to him and begged for forgiveness, and a man of such learning could forgive me with just one kneeling. Dahan recovery is promising!

For the sake of the big man, that bit of dignity is not worth mentioning!

————————————————————————————————

"Lord, it's snowing, let's go back to the house and rest."

"Bonghyo, it's cold outside. Why bother? Didn't Cao say that he wouldn't let you come out? ”

"The lord is outside, how can Jia have the furnace alone?"

"You...... I can't go back now? ”

In the big tent, I sat opposite Feng Xiao.

"Lord, Jia has something to understand. Can you tell Yu Jia? ”

"You say, I should know everything."

"Lord Jiaguan has never worried about money and food. Somehow? IMHO, no amount of savings can meet such a growing demand. ”

"What ...... this?"

"If there is something unspeakable. Bento Ka didn't say it. ”

I frowned and was silent. I never mentioned Zuo Ci's matter to others, because he said that he should not let others know, otherwise he would teach me a lesson. The Han has not yet recovered its glory, and it is not wise to turn against them at this time. But the longer this matter was buried in my heart, the more I felt that it was inappropriate, and there was always some inexplicable fear in my heart.

"Feng Xiao can be trusted...... The Immortal Theory? ”

"Immortals?" Guo Jia's eyes lit up and narrowed his eyes slightly. Based on his intelligence, I should be able to understand this sentence, right?

"Exactly."

"What are the conditions?" Guo Jia suddenly asked something inexplicable.

I praise it in my heart, and I am worthy of being a ghost, and I can immediately think of the key point.

"Where is the dragon vein."

"What they covet is the dragon vein......" Guo Jia said with a sudden realization.

"Bonghyo knows?"

"Jia had seen some of them from a broken ancient book. The dragon vein is the soul of a dynasty, and once the dragon energy in the dragon vein is exhausted, the dynasty will die. Whenever a dynasty falls, a man who has been ordained will appear to destroy the old system and establish a new dynasty, and a new dragon vein will be born because of him. This is a rule of heaven, and no one can violate it. Not only that, the dragon vein is not only the lifeblood of the human dynasty, but also has a great effect on those who cultivate immortals and practice the Tao. ”

"This ...... Something to do with Cao? ”

"Of course. The dragon qi of the Great Han has been exhausted, so it is natural to choose a Ming lord to establish a new dynasty, so that he can absorb the dragon qi of the new dragon vein to cultivate. Perhaps, the demise of the Han was manipulated by them. No, I think it's a must. Lord, should the Han really die in a hundred years? Looking at the Xia Shang and Zhou dynasties, which one does not have a history of nearly a thousand years? Since the violent Qin, there has been no long-lived dynasty in the world, why is this? ”

"You mean ......"

Jia thought that it was caused by the rapid dissipation of dragon qi. As for the culprit, do you still need to say it? ”

"Damn it, don't you care if others live or die!"

"They are immortal cultivators, and they have already cut off their relationship. It looks like a human, but it's not a human. ”

"Damn it!" I drew my sword in anger and slashed the table in half. This group of self-righteous things is a hundred times more hateful than those faint kings and traitors in the court! I always thought that as long as the DPRK was clear, I would be able to restore the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be just a void in the end! I'm unwilling, unwilling!

"The lord doesn't have to be anxious, Jia has a plan."

"Speak quickly!"

"The lord can build a mausoleum with antiquity, and then Jia will solve it."

"Sure?"

"Naturally, Jia Ke deceived the lord? Just ......"

"Just what?"

"I'm afraid that the lord will break with the other party after the mausoleum is built, and then the lord's life will ......"

"As long as the Han can be restored to glory, what can Cao's life be worth! Fengxiao, let it go, I should fully support you! ”

"Then the lord hasn't seen Jia for a while."

"What I wish is to let the Han Dynasty reign in the world! I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in this life, but I hope I can see it in the next life...... When the time comes, if I am a cloth cloth, don't dislike me for filial piety! At this moment, it suddenly became clear to me in my heart. The budding idea, the idea that is about to come out, really understands.

May I die, so that the Han Dynasty can reign in the world!

No one can bully us big men anymore, and never will!

"My lord, when the time comes, Jia will definitely drink with you again."

————————————————————————————

Everyone in the world calls me Cao Cao a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty, saying that I coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and that I was the culprit of the destruction of the Han Dynasty......

A capable minister who rules the world? A traitor in troubled times?

Everyone in the world mistakes me Cao Cao!

In order for the Han Dynasty to reign over the world, what can Cao have a bad reputation? I will always be a courtier of the Great Han, and I will always be! I just want the people of Dahan to have enough food and clothing, so that the world will no longer dare to covet the rich land of my Dahan! Dahan, Dahan, the Dahan that haunts me and us, our motherland!

One day, we will be able to proudly say to the world that those who dare to bully us will be punished even if they are far away!

If that's wrong, let me be wrong!

Pay youth, blood and sweat, and even life, but you must be wrong to the end!

In the face of all the cold eyes and ridicule, we must also make a mistake to the end!

Destiny?

That doesn't make us fall to our knees and beg for mercy!

We are the people of the Han Dynasty, and we are born as the people of the Han Dynasty, and when we die, we will also be the ghosts of the Han Dynasty!

As long as there is a breath left, I will crawl to bite the people who stand in our way to death!

Even if you become a ghost, you must stay in the land of Dahan forever!

This is the long-cherished wish of me, us, in my life!
