No. 508: Is there an eternal prince in the world (3)

Diplomatic negotiations involve all aspects, and we cannot rush or rush them.

Wei Dongsheng suspended the negotiation and communication of the Zhu Erlang incident and waited to see what happened-observing Cao Cao's catastrophe this time.

More than ten days later, another urgent news suddenly came from the north: Cao Rong died of illness on the way.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ei went to Cao Pi's tragedy, and he did not survive the journey from Yecheng to Tate'an City. Cao Cao has been sending black-haired people to black-haired people in just over ten years, his son died early, and his grandson also died early, which is really sad and lamentable. At first hearing the news of Cao Rong's death, Cao Cao was at a loss for a while, not knowing whether he was suffering from longevity, or pity for the early death of his children and grandchildren.

More than ten days later, Cao Rong's coffin was transported to Tatean, and Cao Cao went out of the city to greet him.

Unexpectedly, things changed suddenly.

Wei Dongsheng was accompanied by Xiahou Xuan, erecting the north city gate with his hands behind his back, looking at Cao Cao's coffin to greet Cao Rong from afar. With the supernatural power bonus of a level 5 immortal, Wei Dongsheng was so deaf and clear that he exceeded the upper limit of carbon-based life, and he could clearly see the picture beyond the reach of human eyes when he climbed high and looked down.

Wei Dongsheng's field of vision: Cao Cao led the civil and military ministers to cry and mourn Cao Ei, how could he have imagined that as soon as he arrived in front of Cao Ei's coffin, the guards who escorted Cao Ei's coffin suddenly surrounded Cao Cao and others with murderous anger. Dozens of bows, dozens of crossbows, all pointed at Cao Cao. The Elders of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, including Cao Cao, were all lowest-level Level 1 Immortals, and they had no ability to evade the bow and crossbow salvo at all. If Cao Rong's coffin was a trap deliberately arranged by someone, there was almost an 80 percent chance of shooting Cao Cao instantly.

Wei Dongsheng nodded secretly: "It turns out that the calamity warning is here!" ”

Suddenly besieged by a bow and crossbow, Cao Cao's cronies were in an uproar, and occasionally some people reprimanded each other with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. It took about three to five minutes for Xiahoudun on the city gate to realize that things had changed. Xiahoudun hurriedly left Wei Dongsheng behind, and while ordering the guards to close the city gates, he called on his cronies to assemble credible troops stationed near Tun Li'an City.

After a few more minutes, the situation became clearer.

However, Cao Rong was indeed dead, but he did not die of a sudden illness as everyone thought, but died tragically from the night attack of the assassins.

Before Cao Rong was seriously ill and abdicated, he worshiped Cao Yu as a general and ordered him to temporarily assist with Xiahou Xian, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others. And because Cao Cao is the real leader of the Cao family, Xiahou Xian and Cao Zhao stayed in Yecheng to temporarily take charge of government affairs, Cao Yu and Cao Shuang respectfully escorted Cao Rong, who was seriously ill and dying, and rushed to Tatean to ask Cao Cao's opinion. Unexpectedly, on the way, Cao Rong died tragically and the assassin attacked at night, and clues showed that the mastermind behind the scenes was the general Cao Yu. Cao Shuang is Cao Ei's young playmate, and the two have a very deep relationship, if it weren't for Cao Ei inheriting Lord Wei, Cao Shuang would not be as rich as he is today. After finding out that Cao Yu killed the assassin, Cao Shuang was furious, not only killing Cao Yu immediately to avenge Cao Ei, but also killing Cao Cao, the mastermind behind the brutal killing of Cao Pi and Cao Ei's father and son.

No matter what the truth is, Cao Shuang is currently promoting this.

Cao Shuang said that Cao Pi and Cao Rong both died tragically at the hands of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao killed his son and grandson, rebelled against human morality, and deserved a thousand cuts.

Why did Cao Cao kill his son and grandson?

Cao Shuang explained: Because Cao Cao is nostalgic for the days when he was in power, he does not allow heirs such as Cao Pi and Cao Ei to weaken his prestige.

As we all know, the more unborn the hero, the more demanding he is. For example, Qin Shi Huang, who once disliked Fusu, indirectly caused Fusu to commit suicide, causing confusion among the Qin people; Another example is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the disaster of the witch cup forced the anti-crown prince Liu Ju, and the government was turbulent for many years. Even if a tyrant like Cao Cao does not care about his descendants competing for power and profit, he does not agree with his children and grandchildren's ideas or dislikes the stupid and ignorant thoughts of his children and grandchildren, but it is understandable. Ignoring the right and wrong camps, everyone may not believe that Cao Cao is ruthless enough to kill his children and grandchildren, and there is a chance to suspect that Cao Pi and Cao Rong are critically ill in their prime for a reason.

Wei Dongsheng continued to focus on observing the situation in the distance.

After a murderous confrontation, Cao Shuang showed up late and roared angrily at Cao Cao. Cao Cao Cao collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, as if there was no threat of swords, bows and crossbows in front of him, sometimes he was fierce, sometimes he was sad, and he communicated with Cao Shuang frankly, and overwhelmed Cao Shuang's momentum in a moment. After a while, Cao Shuang suddenly knelt down to Cao Rong, hugged the corner of the coffin, and howled and cried. With Cao Shuang's kneeling, the morale of the guards plummeted, the archers relaxed their bowstrings, the crossbowmen slacked off and withdrew their arrows, and a mutiny disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Cao Shuang was dark and weak, and when he met a hero like Cao Cao, it was a natural result to stop the mutiny stupidly in a few words.

For Cao Cao, Cao Shuang may barely even have a one-move opponent.

However, just when Wei Dongsheng thought that Cao Cao was about to win a big victory, the situation changed strangely again.

It should be to completely appease Cao Shuang to withdraw the guards, Cao Cao stepped forward alone, and helped Cao Shuang up with a smile. Cao Cao was about to say something to Cao Shuang, who was crying bitterly, when a knife light suddenly lit up between the curtain of the coffin. I saw the sharp arc of the knife glide briskly across Cao Cao's neck, and a good human head was thrown into the sky diagonally with blood.

Wei Dongsheng was stunned on the spot.

Wei Dongsheng never expected that at the moment when Cao Shuang's mutiny was eliminated, Cao Cao Cao's head was suddenly cut off by an assassin.

At the same time, Cao Shuang was also stunned, and stupidly touched a few drops of blood splashed on his cheek; The guards besieging Cao Cao were also stunned, and some clever soldiers hurriedly opened their bows and raised their crossbows to re-aim at Cao Cao's cronies; Cao Cao's confidant Wenchen and military generals were also stunned, and looked stupidly at Cao Cao's head that landed in a parabola; Xiahoudun, who had just been asked by Cao Cao to garrison the troops not to move, was also stunned, and after a while, he was shocked and angry before issuing a military order.

The picture was only static for more than ten seconds, and it suddenly erupted like a volcano, and thousands of elites fought chaotically for their masters. A little wisdom should understand that when Cao Cao was attacked and beheaded, the mutiny must be ended with blood and fire. Whoever can win this small battle will have a chance to win the rich Cao Cao legacy.

All this has nothing to do with Wei Dongsheng.

Considering that the effective scope of the Immortal Seed has always been limited to Lujiang County, Wei Dongsheng has no ability to influence other states and counties at all, so why should he be excessively involved in this mutiny that has nothing to do with the Absolute Holy Gate?

Regarding Cao Cao's embarrassing assassination, Wei Dongsheng could only sigh a word of regret.

No matter how eloquent he Cao Cao is, and let him Cao Cao Cao manage Tatean City into an iron bucket, it is difficult to resist a ray of sword light at a critical moment. When the knife rises and falls, Cao Cao has become a bloody head, and all Wang Tu's hegemony has become a joke.

There is hope only when you are alive, and perhaps this is the true purpose of the kindergarten entrance exam of the Tomorrow Empire.

Save your life before you can talk about the future.

……

In the mournful and majestic battle at the north city gate, Wei Dongsheng jumped off the south gate with a light sacrifice and calmly withdrew to the hinterland of Dabie Mountain.

After a few more days, the dust finally settled on the Tatean mutiny.

The result was once again beyond Wei Dong's expectations, the weak and unwise Cao Shuang won a big victory, and a group of famous veterans such as Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Cao Hong all died tragically in the mutiny.

The details of the mutiny on that day are unknown, but the verdict made public by Cao Wei was all attributed to Zhu Erlang. After a certain amount of distorted propaganda, this strange mutiny has ridiculously become a conspiracy planned by Zhu Erlang.

Under Cao Shuang's narrative structure, "facts" have become this face: on the way to Tatean City, Zhu Erlang bought the murderous assassination and framed Cao Yu as the mastermind behind the scenes. When Cao Shuang rushed to Tate'an City in a heartbroken manner, Zhu Erlang took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly assassinated Cao Cao in person. After succeeding, Zhu Erlang used Cao Cao's death to deliberately create chaos, triggering a big melee in which no one was right or wrong. In the melee, Zhu Erlang used his level 4 immortal terrorist power to secretly hide among the foot soldiers, and intermittently assassinated Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and other meritorious veterans.

In short, Zhu Erlang was the mastermind behind the Tatean mutiny, and it was Cao Cao's credulity in Zhu Erlang that led to this tragedy that should not have happened.

Having said that, why does Zhu Erlang hate Cao Cao so much?

Cao Shuang's narrative structure explains that because Zhu Erlang's biological father died in Zhang Liaowei's earthquake Xiaoyaojin. Just like the sins of Zhu Laozhang, which must be borne by Zhu Huan, Sun Quan and other high-level officials of Eastern Wu, Zhang Liao's revenge for killing his father must also be repaid by Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and other high-level Wei officials. Zhu Erlang's reason has been burned out by hatred and anger, he takes revenge on Sun Quan, he takes revenge on Cao Cao, and he does not hesitate to create a series of killings for this. All evidence shows that Zhu Erlang's crimes are heinous and unforgivable.

Cao Shuang immediately caught the world by sea: no matter Shu Wu, if he can bring Zhu Erlang's head to see him, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold immediately.

Zhu Erlang became the murderer of Cao Cao, and Cao Shuang and the tiger and leopard battalion, which urgently needed to be reorganized, naturally would no longer shield him. In order to arrest Zhu Erlang as soon as possible, Cao Shuang sent a high-profile envoy to reach a cooperation agreement with the Absolute Holy Gate, hoping that Wei Dongsheng would personally supervise the Demon Suppression Hall to search for Zhu Erlang's whereabouts.

However, the result was strangely mysterious: Zhu Erlang disappeared.

After the Tatean mutiny, the Demon Town Hall united with the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, the Yibao Battalion, the Trouble-Relief Battalion, and the Wudang Battalion to turn Lujiang County upside down, and no trace of Zhu Erlang was found. Wei Dongsheng examined Lujiang County with a killing escalation mechanism, and finally came to a suspicious conclusion: Zhu Erlang may have escaped from Lujiang County.

Only if Zhu Erlang escapes from Lujiang County, he will not become the experience point of other immortals to kill and upgrade.

As long as Zhu Erlang escapes from Lujiang County, Zhu Erlang's disappearance can be perfectly explained.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether Zhu Erlang actively escaped from Lujiang County or passively fled from Lujiang County. Even if Wei Dongsheng gathers all the information, the Tatean Mutiny is full of all kinds of weirdness, and the real mastermind behind the scenes may not be Zhu Erlang who carries the black pot, nor Cao Shuang who is on the bright side. Regarding Cao Shuang's performance that day when Cao Cao was fooled and lame by Cao Cao's words, Wei Dongsheng was more willing to believe that Sima Yi, who was thousands of miles away, strategized and presided over the Tatean Mutiny.

No matter what the truth is, Zhu Erlang will not be able to find it in a short time.

The culprit Zhu Erlang is missing, and the murder can only be postponed indefinitely.

Let's talk about the general situation after the Tatean Mutiny.

After the Tatean mutiny, Cao Shuang decisively excluded Cao Lin and Cao Zhi, two candidates for the throne that Cao Cao was like, and resolutely pushed Cao Fang, Cao Rong's adopted son, to the throne of Wei. Not long after, Sima Yi announced that he would fully stand with Cao Shuang, and conscientiously assist Cao Shuang in designing and killing Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao and other competitors.

In real world history, after Cao Rong's death, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne and Cao Shuang was in power. After thousands of years of killing the world upside down, it suddenly returned to the old path of history in 239, and everything was full of a sense of fate and weirdness.
