Chapter 258: Madness in front of the spring road
The news of Cao Cao's claim to be king has spread all over the streets and alleys of the city. Although the people of Shengdou were shocked by the news and talked about it for a few days, most people still had to do what they should do in order to make a living, and they barely maintained their happy lives with their hard-working hands.
However, there are still a lot of ministers and generals in the city who regard themselves as old ministers of the Han family, and these days they have been hit by an unprecedented huge blow, and they are all in a panic, not knowing where their future is, and they don't know if they will slowly sink with the big ship of the Han Dynasty, and finally be crushed into the dust of history.
Cao Cao selected Yecheng as the capital of the newly established Wei State, with Zhong Xuan as the minister of Wei, and hundreds of officials were also appointed by Cao Cao, so it stands to reason that they should quickly move to Yecheng to form another team, so that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, will officially become a prisoner in prison.
But Cao Cao's body could no longer bear the toss of this long-distance relocation, so he chose to stay in Xudu and quietly wait for a visit by one person.
By the way, his daughter Cao Xian also stayed by his side, preparing to manage a wedding that had been delayed for a long time.
Ascended the throne as the king, obtained Jiuxi, no need to be a minister, Cao Cao finally got rid of the shackles of the Son of Heaven, which made him feel a lot of emotion, these days he seems to have a lot of new feelings about life, and he has reached the apex of being a teenager who did not dare to imagine, and Cao Cao's already chaotic thoughts have a little more twists and turns.
He thought of Zhang Miao, Wei Zi, Yuan Shao, Xu Youdian, Wei Xu Chu, and countless of his comrades-in-arms, enemies, people who turned from enemies to comrades-in-arms, and people who turned from comrades-in-arms to enemies.
The once familiar faces were a little blurred by the yellow sand of many years, but recently they have become a little clearer, Cao Cao didn't know why at first, but he suddenly realized something in the past few days.
It should be that the spring road is near...... This time there was no longer any further delay.
"Also, it's okay...... Zuo Immortal's elixir is really useful.
I have already asked him to refine another furnace, the fairy said that he can take it often, he can become immortal, and the child takes a few pieces, and he often feels light and energetic, which is really ......"
Cao Pi said eagerly, obviously very satisfied with Zuo Shenxian's performance, it can be seen that Cao Cao is eyeing him fiercely, and he quickly stopped his mouth and hung his head silently.
"The matter of alchemy is illusory, and there is not much time to be lonely, and I rely on this thing to hang my life.
You are in the prime of life, why eat such things, it's just nonsense! How can there be no one in this world who is immortal and immortal, what if you eat the pill as a meal? ”
Cao Pi subconsciously said yes, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao's longevity is coming to an end, Cao Pi is about to take over the great cause and become the master of the Mandate of Heaven, these days even Cao Cao's cronies and guards have been under Cao Pi's control, and the Zhonghu Army has also been replaced by Cao Pi's absolute cronies Cao Zhen, such power is in hand, but Cao Cao is still showing great dissatisfaction with Cao Pi in his words, which makes Cao Pi, who is already gloomy in character, angry.
Even if it is a matter of facts, the father definitely does not have this attitude towards Zijian.
At the end of the day, he still didn't like me.
Cao Pi has been very respectful of Zuo Ci's elixir effect these days, and even his private affairs have made great progress, and he feels that he is light and healthy, and he is no longer like a mortal.
The evil fire in his heart burned in him, and he couldn't help but snort softly.
"My father taught me a lesson, but I ...... But children have their own ideas. ”
Cao Cao's eyes gave birth to a fierce fire, and he subconsciously clenched his thin palm into a fist. Cao Pi showed a hint of cowardice in his eyes, but he hesitated slightly, but he straightened his neck and looked at Cao Cao without hesitation.
At this moment, Cao Cao's heart trembled obviously, not because of the anger of being betrayed, but because of his deep disappointment in Cao Pi.
Disappointment indeed.
Cao Pi has a perverse personality, he has been begging for a lifetime before, and he refused to pretend at the last moment, how can such a person be evaluated for a thousand years?
Let's not talk about this first, with such a heart, can we really ensure that our own foundation will last for generations, and can we ensure that our family can smoothly take over the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty?
He stared at Cao Pi coldly, Cao Pi could no longer keep calm under his terrifying gaze, he could only slowly lower his head, and said in fear:
"The son knows his mistake."
Cao Cao shook his head slowly, and sighed again.
Lustful and timid, resourceful and indecisive, doing big things and cherishing his life, forgetting his righteousness when he sees small profits......
He commented on his big brother Yuan Shao back then, and after defeating Yuan Shao, he proudly boasted that he was far above the big brother skills of the year.
But in his twilight years, he was stunned to find that the successor he had chosen had the same problem as his big brother.
What's even more terrifying is that Cao Cao found that the son in front of him, who had the same problem as Big Brother, was actually the best person he could choose.
His thin palm grabbed his black and red-patterned brocade robe, and wanted to say something more, but he didn't say anything after all, but waved his hand in annoyance, asking Cao Pi to stay away from him.
Cao Pi was pardoned, and left Cao Cao's bedroom in despair.
Feeling the warm winter sun outside, Cao Pi felt alive.
Is this the coercion of the superiors......
He was extremely envious of such a terrifying majesty, and he didn't know if he could have such majesty in his lifetime.
He just wanted to leave, when he suddenly heard a plop behind him, Cao Pi hesitated for a long time, and then hurriedly turned around and pushed the door open again.
He saw that Cao Cao, who could still look at him with a stern gaze just now, was lying on the ground in humiliation, and he didn't make a sound.
"Father...... Father! ”
Cao Cao's condition aggravated suddenly, Taoist priest Zuo Ci came suddenly, and after diagnosing the pulse, it was judged that Cao Cao was suffering from some kind of strong stimulation, which caused his condition to worsen sharply, and I am afraid that he could not last too long.
Cao Pi, who was a thief, was shocked and quickly begged Zuo Ci to do everything possible to save Cao Cao.
But before Zuo Ci could take out his elixir, Cao Cao's weak but still majestic voice came from the sickbed.
"Get out!"
His voice was extremely hoarse, full of terrifying determination, Zuo Ci could no longer maintain the appearance of the fairy wind bone, and quickly floated away.
Cao Pi was in a dilemma, Cao Cao glared at him coldly, and said coldly:
"Bring up the people who killed Wen Ding before!"
Previously, Wang Bi was shot by a bow and arrow in the Geng Ji Rebellion, and the wound was infected with the medicine stone and was useless, so he had already gone one step ahead of Cao Cao.
His death brought an almost fatal blow to Cao Cao, Geng Ji, Wei Huang and other famous Cao Cao's famous men were all killed on the spot by Xiahoudun, but the chaos at that time was very implicated, whether to implicate or not, if to implicate what scale it should be, Cao Cao should take the idea.
After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao has been in poor health, and now that he is the king of Wei, and his life is in an instant, it is time to do something crazy.
"That night the thieves set fire to the Wending Mansion, and you all said that they were going to put out the fire, well, the firefighters stood on the left, and those who didn't go to the fires stood on the right."
Although Cao Cao is sick, his majesty is still there, and this world-class hero who killed Kong Rong's entire family and forced Xun Yu to death is not something ordinary people can stop even if he only has his last breath left.
Many of those arrested for violating the curfew during the Geng Ji Wei Huang Rebellion insisted that they were not fellow thieves, and that they only rushed to extinguish the fire when they found it.
Because these people have a good power in their families, even Xiahoudun can't make decisions easily, and now it's time for Cao Cao to solve this problem.
When everyone heard about this, Xindao insisted that it would not be wrong to put out the fire, and they all stood on the left, and only a few stood on the right.
Cao Cao looked coldly at the scholars standing on the left, and sneered:
"Cut down all the people who were standing on the left and said they were putting out the fire! They must be thieves! ”
Everyone was shocked, they didn't know what kind of logic Cao Cao was, why everyone shouted to fight the fire but wanted to die, this is obviously indiscriminate killing of innocents!
But Xun Yu is dead, Cao Cao is angry, how can anyone dare to fight his majesty?
Zhong Xuan, Zhao Yan, and Du Xi bowed their heads and were silent, and the executioner captured all the people standing on the left, and in an instant, rows of heads fell to the ground, and viscous blood sprayed wildly, so that the generals of the Cao army, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help frowning and almost wanted to vomit.
Not long after the shock of this massacre, Cao Cao announced an even more astonishing move -
He ordered that all the three clans of Ma Teng be annihilated, and the son of Han Sui who had been a hostage before entering the dynasty was also immediately killed, except for Yan Xing's family, the hostages of the Liangzhou army in Xu Du were killed one by one, and there was no mercy!
Ma Chao and Han rebelled, and Ma Teng had already been implicated and arrested and imprisoned, but everyone knew that as long as Ma Chao still maintained his strong offensive ability, Cao Cao would not easily kill Ma Teng, so as not to lose the last opportunity to make peace.
But Cao Cao doesn't care about it now, not only to kill Ma Teng, but also to destroy his three clans, which means that he completely gives up the opportunity to make peace with Ma Chao with his actions, and there is no need for the two sides to talk about conditions in the future.
Lose your marbles! It's really crazy!
Cao Cao's actions made the generals who had followed him for many years feel unspeakably crazy, they had long regarded human life as a mustard for many years, and the scale of the previous slaughter of Xuzhou was far greater than this, but this time everyone could clearly feel that the sky might be changing.
Sure enough, killing Ma Teng was nothing, Cao Cao looked around, and the sneer on his face was very great.
"Yang Xiu slandered the government and government, causing our army to almost encounter a catastrophe in Guanzhong! After that, he assassinated the heavy general, wanting to do illegal things, it was clearly Ma Chao's party, and this time he was killed together! Thank you! ”
Yes?!
Although the previous massacre had already made people a little numb, Cao Cao, who was about to die this time, actually swung the butcher's knife at Yang Xiu!
Everyone thought that Cao Cao had not dealt with Yang Xiu after Xun Yu's death, because his attitude had eased in Yang Biao's face.
Yang Biao also showed several gestures of reconciliation, at least in Xu Ducheng, Cao Cao should sell Yang Biao this face.
But I didn't expect Cao Cao to still kill!
The old man had truly fallen into madness, his pale face tinged with a sickly flush, and his eyes seemed to glow with a terrifying glow of blood
No one suspected that he had gone completely insane.
God knows who his butcher's knife will point at next......
Everyone is in danger, how dare they speak out again?
Cao Cao looked around, and his face was still unchanged because of the slaughter:
"Kill ...... me"
"King Wei!" As the Minister of State, Zhong Miao is actually very weak-hearted.
He was deeply involved in Geng Ji Weihuang's rebellion, Cao Cao didn't know, it stands to reason that he shouldn't speak, but if he didn't open his mouth at this time, Cao Cao's butcher's knife didn't know who to continue to point at, so he could only salute Cao Cao and plead with him in desperation.
Cao Cao's cold gaze looked at Zhong Xuan, and before he could speak, Xiahoudun hurried forward with a look of surprise on his face.
"Mengde, Tanzhi is back!"
