Chapter 250: Yang Xiu's Advice
Cao Cao's condition is not optimistic.
Wang Bi's tragic death was a fatal blow to him, making Cao Cao himself feel that he was running out of anger and was forced to start planning for the future.
It should be said that it is an intensive planning for the future.
Although he is still conscious these days, his spirit is very bad, and he has been half-asleep and half-awake, lazily unwilling to get up.
Several of his ladies were about to dry up in tears, but fortunately, Mrs. Bian was calm enough, She mobilized her connections to visit famous doctors, and under the heavy reward, a monk stepped forward and refined a furnace of elixir for Cao Cao.
After a few pills, Cao Cao's face even regained its ruddyness, and he could barely get up and get out of bed and walk with the support of several ladies.
Seeing that this hero had almost recovered his vitality, Cao Pi was also very surprised, and hurriedly invited the divine doctor into the school palace, and asked someone to copy the pill he developed, and hurried to continue refining the pill for Cao Cao.
"I heard that there are cinnabar, mica, stalactites, realgar, and sulfur in this elixir, and after taking the medicine, I am full of fever, fluttering like a fairy, and I am immortal.
This Fang Shi is really quite good. ”
At Cao Cao's bedside, Cao Pi looked yearning, and he didn't have the mouth to praise the benefits of this elixir, and after talking for a long time, he found that Cao Cao was actually looking at him with fierce eyes, and quickly lowered his head.
Cao Cao was cunning and changeable since he was a child, and he could easily tease Yuan Shao, who was much older than him, and then gradually gained his current status by virtue of his outstanding scheming and means.
But although Cao Pi is very talented, his mind is quite ...... It can be said that it is quite simple.
He is easy to trust others, as long as he thinks someone is good, he will trust him unconditionally - but if that person does something that he is not satisfied with, Cao Pi's good opinion of him will quickly go to zero, and then he will no longer trust him, and even disgust him by any means.
In short, Cao Pi's mind and methods are completely inconsistent with the conditions that a superior person should have, but it is a pity......
Now Cao Cao has no other choice, he can only hope that Cao Pi will grow older in the future, and the persuasion of a few auxiliary ministers left behind him can make his successor take over the banner of the Cao family.
"Father......" Cao Pi was panicked, hung his head and called softly.
Cao Cao came back from his trance, and his face showed a gentleness that he had never felt before.
"Is there any one in this world who is immortal? Even if you eat this pill as a meal...... When the life span is exhausted, it is still time to die. ”
"It's okay, I'll see you when I go down...... See ......"
Thinking of Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others who died tragically for themselves, Cao Cao was like a fish in his throat, and he lost his voice for a while.
"Zihuan, for my father, I will go to the spring soon, and then you will be kind to Zixiao, Zilian and other uncles, can you do it?"
Cao Pi wanted to make a concession, but after all, he couldn't help the huge desire for power in his heart, and nodded vigorously:
"Son, son can do it."
At this time, Cao Cao didn't care about Cao Pi's temperament, he said to Cao Pi extremely calmly:
"In addition to a few uncles, there are two others, and you will definitely be of great use.
Yunshan is brave and has the talent of a general.
Chang Diao is resourceful and can clearly judge big things.
These two people are loyal, brave and resolute people, but Yunshan just committed it, and often carved cowardice and protected himself.
Thou shalt restrain thy temper and appoint these two men, and such a great matter can be determined. ”
Cloud Mountain and Changdiao.
When Cao Cao didn't speak, Cao Pi knew that his father must have mentioned these two people.
Both of them rose rapidly after the Battle of Chibi, and Yunshan was unstoppable and won a hundred battles; Changdiao manages the school affairs properly, which can be described as pervasive and like a god.
But Cao Pi's relationship with these two people is not particularly tacit and close.
Cao Pi originally had the opportunity to win over Yunshan, and even got Yunshan's sycophancy for a time.
But he couldn't restrain his temper before, and he was quite dissatisfied with Yunshan's approach to Cao Zhi, and the relationship between the two was definitely not close to the point.
Well, but this person is now trapped in Chang'an, so let's wait for him to come out first.
Not to mention Chang Diao, Cao Pi even had murderous thoughts about Chang Diao before, this person has a powerful school affairs in his hands but is unwilling to be used by Cao Pi publicly, which is a very dangerous thing.
Cao Pi felt that he should have his own judgment when he was not young, and the more Cao Cao said this, the more the rebellious emotions in his heart kept rising, but he could only nod silently.
Cao Cao couldn't see his son's unwillingness, which was exactly what he was most worried about.
"Lonely all his life to conquer the south and the north, sweeping away the heroes for the Han Dynasty, although I dare not say that the four seas are quiet, but it is enough to say that no one in the world can pass the great feats.
But even so, in the eyes of those Qingliu wealthy families, we are only after the eunuchs.
After the eunuchs, how to bear the mandate of heaven? ”
"This ......"
Thousands of years later, successful people like to say that they have no background and no background, and they have achieved today's achievements entirely by their own efforts.
But in this era, it would be insulting to say that a person is from a humble background.
Liu Bang ruled the world back then, which is an unprecedented and powerful feat, he got the world from the grassroots, not to mention that Liu Bang can't tell this story, even many later generations think this is too incredible, why would the destiny favor a grass people.
So everyone used their brains and turned out a bunch of noble ancestors for Liu Bang, proving that Liu Bang's family had been wide in the Tao and Tang dynasties, and the nobles who were also prominent before were just in decline in later generations, and the destiny of heaven fell on him is the green smoke from the tombs of his ancestors, and he was sent down to save all the people in the world.
But Cao Cao, it's hard to say.
Cao Cao's grandfather is a descendant of Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, but Cao Cao's father is unknown, God knows where Cao Cao's grandfather got it.
If Cao Cao can sweep the four seas, he will naturally have a way to physically block the mouths of everyone in the world. But he fell short in the Battle of Chibi, and this Battle of Guanzhong ended with such a result, and now he must have become the laughing stock of those wealthy families, and what he can rely on is a young man like Yunshan Changdiao who was born in a poor family and has strong abilities.
"In addition to this, you have to be kind to your brothers......"
"Of course, of course."
Cao Pi saw the warning in Cao Cao's eyes, and hurriedly swore that he would take care of his younger brothers in the future, and Cao Cao's concubines would also be properly settled, so please rest assured that Cao Cao.
Of course, as a son of man, his biggest dream is to make Cao Cao better, if Cao Cao can recover his health, what power is not rare for him at all.
Cao Pi's appearance made Cao Cao very uncomfortable, but Cao Zhi is now alone in the Han Dynasty and has no news. The other sons were either brave and unscrupulous or had a shallow foundation, and it was impossible for them to pose any threat to Cao Pi in any case.
This made Cao Cao start to miss Cao Ang very much again, who had long since died.
The father and son were silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
The relationship between father and son, who were not particularly good, could not find much to talk about for a while except power, and in this atmosphere, it was impossible to talk about the understanding of literature.
Just when the two of them were quite embarrassed, it was rumored that Yang Xiu asked to see him.
Cao Pi subconsciously frowned and wanted to retreat, but Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for him to stay.
He has little time, and Cao Pi will have to participate in this kind of thing in the future.
Of course he couldn't leave.
Yang Xiu was dressed in a white Confucian robe, and his demeanor showed the demeanor of Gao Shi, he slowly walked into Cao Cao's bedroom, and saw that Cao Pi was still on his side, and his face showed a hint of playfulness.
He has already seen that it is only a matter of time before Cao Pi takes over Cao Cao's position, he does not have Cao Cao's mind and means, and his team foundation is still shallow, Cao Xiu Xiahou Shang Sima Yi Cao Zhen is either a brave and unscrupulous horseman, or an honest and vulgar Confucian who does not dare to do big things, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all.
He smiled calmly at Cao Pi, this smile made Cao Pi immediately feel a chill, and said without frowning:
"What's wrong?"
Yang Xiu bowed dignifiedly, with a solemn expression, and said quite calmly: "I just received an urgent report, the Changjun Division has lost the Weishui defense line, and now the whole army is blocked by the Yellow River. ”
There was silence for a while, Cao Cao's father and son stared at Yang Xiu silently, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
After a long time, Cao Cao said in a hoarse voice:
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
Yang Xiu's intelligence had repeatedly had problems before, but this time his information was indeed very accurate.
The news that Chang Diao had abandoned Weishui and assembled to the Yellow River had already exploded in Cao's army, and more than one smart person thought that Chang Diao was blindly commanding and pushing the whole army to death.
Many clever soldiers were reluctant to accompany Chang Diao to death, and Fen Fen secretly crossed the river, and happened to be caught by Yang Xiu's school affairs.
When this group of school officials heard that Chang Diao had actually thrown away the Weishui defense line, they immediately realized that the battle was about to end, and hurriedly sent the news to Yang Xiu's case in an urgent manner.
Yang Xiu repeatedly confirmed, and found a few people who knew military affairs to understand the consequences of losing the Weishui defense line, but the result made him excited and couldn't help but slap his thigh again and again, and quickly slapped himself twice, so that he was not so happy, and then ran in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who had fought all his life, of course knew what the consequences of losing Weishui were, and he thought that Chang Diao would hold on to the Weishui area to buy time for the whole army to retreat.
didn't expect Chang Diao to do such a thing that disappointed him!
If this battle is lost, I don't know how many Cao soldiers will die at the hands of Ma Chao, and even Yunshan will not be able to kill from Chang'an City, either they will be trapped alive, or they can only surrender.
No matter what the consequences are, Cao Cao can't afford them.
Or not......
The hero sighed, and there was a trace of burning killing intent in his cloudy eyes, which made Cao Pi couldn't help but move his gaze to the side.
"Yes, it's a lonely person."
Yang Xiu's eyes showed a hint of essence:
"Chang Juying actually failed the prime minister so much, it is better to take down his whole family to pay respect!"
As soon as Guanzhong was lost, Cao Cao's prestige would be dealt a huge blow, and Cao Pi thought that after his succession, he would withstand the unscrupulous attack of the Guanzhong cavalry that would be killed from Tongguan at any time, and he suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
"Father, Chang Diao...... Chang Diao is so incompetent, he ......"
Cao Pi wanted to punish Chang Diao severely, but he suddenly sounded that the idea of Chang Diao's palace was that Cao Cao personally made the decision, and punishing Chang Diao was tantamount to slapping Cao Cao's face, so he quickly shut his mouth.
What to do?
Froze.
