Chapter 359 See you at the peak: Before the tears are sprinkled on the pear blossoms, the sorrow falls with the flowers
- "But he wants to cut his head with a lonely axe?" Does Lone follow him? β
With this voice, Cao Cao subconsciously grabbed his forehead with both hands, his expression was painful, and the severe headache came again as expected.
Master, Ma Feisan, Zhang Liao, female disciple, this series of words made Cao Cao quickly recall Hua Tuo, and recalled fifteen years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, when the edict was drawn... Hua Tuo, who proposed to Cao Cao to resign and return to his hometown;
also recalled that before the Battle of Chibi, Hua Tuo was tied up by Cao Cao and then killed;
It was this female disciple of Hua Tuo, this was this memory, which aroused Cao Cao's pain, making his forehead suddenly painful.
The truth of Hua Tuo's death is really that he was unwilling to treat Cao Cao, and when he returned home, he lied that his wife was seriously ill, and Cao Cao recognized it and captured him and killed him?
Is there a secret to this?
It was fifteen years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao pressed the situation on a large scale, the situation in Xu Du was unstable, and Cao Cao was facing the most severe test of Wei Wu's hegemony in riding the wind and waves!
At that time, Xudu City seemed to be shrouded in layers of thick fog and haze, and the dark tide was surging.
It's late at night, inside the back room.
A letter of "blood for the alliance, signing and drawing, and vowing to destroy the Cao thief" is being presented to everyone in front of them by the hand of Dong Cheng, the uncle of the country.
In this secret room, there are guard captain Ma Teng, Han Zuo general Liu Bei, chariot cavalry general Dong Cheng, partial general prince suit, Yue cavalry lieutenant series...
They put their handprints on the ribbon.
And before them, the names of Taiwei Yang Biao and Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang had already been written in the edict.
Hua Tuo was at the end of the seat, and when this "edict with clothes" was placed in front of him, he did not press his handprint but said, "That person did not sign it, and I will not sign it, and that person asked me to advise you not to act!" β
Hua Tuo left such a sentence, and then turned around and exited the secret room.
Ma Teng was taken aback: "The two of them won't leak this matter to Cao Cao, right?" β
"No!" Liu Bei's tone was extremely determined, "Hua Tuo is a doctor, he can only save people, not harm people, as for him, although he is Cao Cao's confidant, he is also Hanchen!" β
At this time, Dong Cheng had already stood up excitedly, lifted a wine vask, and poured a large bowl of wine, "Today, we will make a blood alliance, and those who break the oath and fail Your Majesty will die in the war!" β
Everyone rolled up their sleeves, slashed their arms with knives in turn, dripped blood into the bowls, raised them up and drank them in turn, and then clasped their hands tightly together.
Over there, after Hua Tuo walked out of the secret room, he went to Shangshutai and met Shangshuling Xunyu.
Xun Yu only said a word to Hua Tuo.
- "After all, you, I want to leave some hope for the big man!" β
The next day, Hua Tuo excused his late wife's serious illness to ask Cao Cao for resignation.
Then, the edict broke out, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chongji, and Wu Zilan were killed by Cao Cao successively, Ma Teng hibernated, and Liu Bei escaped from Xudu with the "edict of clothes".
Yang Biao and Sima Fang were suspected by Cao Cao, but there was no evidence.
Due to the current enemy, Cao Cao was unwilling to make enemies with the Sima clan and the Hongnong Yang clan in Hanoi, and finally only deposed them from their official titles.
Only Hua Tuo escaped and hid in his hometown, avoiding being implicated by the edict.
It is also in the past few years that Hua Tuo has returned to his hometown...
He accepted several disciples, and the most talented of them was this Huainan woman - Zhuo Rong!
However, due to the rule of Xinglin's stunt of "passing on men but not women", in addition to "Green Capsule Book" and Ma Boiling San, Hua Tuo almost taught all those who could be taught.
Eight years in a flash, thirteen years in Jian'an, before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's head wind attacked violently again, and he remembered Hua Tuo.
This is not the first time Cao Cao has had a headache in recent years, over the years, Cao Cao has written to Hua Tuo several times to ask him to come back, and even promised high-ranking officials, but Hua Tuo still used his wife's illness to get sick and did not come back!
Cao Cao thought that he thought he was looking up to himself, so he sent someone to investigate, and told the person who investigated that if his wife was really sick, he would leave a lot of money, and if it was fake... Then tie it back!
After that, Hua Tuo was arrested!
Exactly... Eight years ago, the investigation of the edict of the cloth belt has a new clue.
And this sealed clue directly points to the fact that Dong Cheng had contacted Hua Tuo and Xun Yu back then.
Cao Cao began to test Hua Tuo, he deliberately pretended to have a splitting headache, and let Hua Tuo cure his head disease once and for all.
Hua Tuo only said, "Cao Sikong's disease is not incurable, just open the skull with an axe and take out the head stroke and salivation!" β
It was this Hua Tuo's answer that confirmed all Cao Cao's suspicions, he glared angrily and shouted at Hua Tuo, "There are many people in the world who want to take the head of the lone master? Thou shalt be one of them! β
Hua Tuo smiled pitifully, he thought of the scene when he met Dong Cheng, Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others before the edict, and he thought of Xun Lingjun warning him to leave some hope for Han!
He mustered up the courage to use his own method to keep his promise with Xun Yu, and he went on to persuade Cao Cao: "Sikong refuses to open his head, then there is another way, that is, to go to desire and anger." Hidden between the forests and springs, there is no irritability, anger and urgency, with the breath of Taiqing, calm the mind and nourish the brain, ten years later, or self-healing! β
Cao Cao laughed and jumped out of bed, "The battle of Chibi is imminent, the great cause of solitary unification is just around the corner, Doctor Hua, your trick to let Lone return to the mountains and forests is really clever, what Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Chongji and others did not do back then, you have to do it for them!" Someone came to put Hua Tuo in prison and interrogated him severely! β
What is being reviewed?
Cao Cao instructed him to be full of favor, and the test was whether Xun Yu signed the edict with clothes.
Is Xun Yu his Cao Cao's henchman or Han Chen?
It's just that even if Hua Tuo was tortured to death in prison, he never revealed anything again.
However, his death, Cao Cao could not be attributed to the edict of the clothes and belts eight years ago, and he could only use Hua Tuo to deceive him Cao Cao and bluff him Cao Cao to convict.
It was also from this time on...
Cao Cao began to repeatedly test Xun Yu;
It was also from this time that the master and servant began to drift apart.
It is precisely because of this that when Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to let Hua Tuo go, his words were even more pale!
This is the whole truth of Hua Tuo's death.
In Cao Cao's view, Hua Tuo and Xun Yu are the same people as Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng, the only difference is that the former wants to put him to death, while Hua Tuo and Xun Yu want him to make Cao Cao still in the Son of Heaven and a Hanchen!
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao may love and hate Xun Yu, but Hua Tuo... It can only be hate, hatred to the bone!
Therefore, his disciples, both male and female, are also the same "hate"!
At this moment, a severe headache reopened this memory that had been sealed for fifteen years.
Cao Cao's expression became more and more hideous, and the pain became more and more painful.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."
Cao Zhen, Cheng Yu, Jia Kui, and Sima Yi hurriedly went to help Cao Cao, but Cao Cao waved his hand to signal everyone to step back, he pointed out the door, and said to Cao Zhen in a commanding tone.
"Zidan, Lone ordered you to catch her, catch her immediately, torture and interrogate, she... If she is as hard-mouthed as her master, then how did her master die, let her die too, do you hear? Do you hear that? β
Cao Zhen could only tremble and arch his hands.
"Yes, yes..."
He didn't expect that a woman, a female disciple of Hua Tuo, could make Cao Cao so angry.
Even, in addition to anger, there is fear...
Fear of that Huatuo, no... It's the name behind Hua Tuo!
Cao Cao was afraid that they would ask for their lives!
Sure enough, the prime minister is old!
In the past, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he began to be even more afraid, afraid that one by one the unjust souls would come to ask for his life-

Luoyang City, in the post house, Cao Zhi was already drunk.
He groaned: "Second brother, I have come up with the last sentence, I am a gentleman, and I am as clever as a god... But I'm a gentleman, and I'm as clever as a god... Second brother is here for you, it's time for you to make the next sentence! β
At this moment, Cao Pi is also overwhelmed with alcohol, "Okay, okay, the second brother is already drunk and can't make poems, Zijian, you have a lot of alcohol!" β
"Drink again, drink again..."Cao Zhi's drunken eyes were hazy, "If you are drunk, didn't the second brother say that you should be drunk and rest?" β
"No more." Cao Pi waved his hand, "Zijian came to Luoyang, the second brother will rest assured, I have to go to Shouchun tonight, and my father is still waiting for me to go to Dongwu... In this way, you sober up, eat some food, and let your sister-in-law lead you to the mansion later, the second brother specially built the Plains Marquis Mansion for you, in addition to the palace and father's bedroom, you are the most magnificent in the Plains Marquis Mansion. β
The style is not magnificent, Cao Zhi doesn't care, but he heard that the second brother asked his sister-in-law to lead him to the mansion, which...
Cao Zhi sobered up: "Thank you second brother, thank you sister-in-law..."
But the last word "sister-in-law" landed, and Cao Zhi fell on the table... looked drunk and unconscious, but he muttered softly: "Second brother... Sister-in-law... Second brother... Sister-in-law..."
"That's it!" Cao Pi patted Cao Zhi's shoulder, he turned his head to Liu Zhen and Wu Zhen and said, "Let's go, delay for so long, don't let my father wait!" β
While talking, Liu Zhen and Wu Zhen went to prepare the horse... Cao Pi finally stared deeply at Cao Zhi who was drunk on the table, and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Zhen Mi in the hall pursing his lips and looking resentful, and he walked in front of Zhen Mi.
"It's hard for you to send the fourth brother..."
Speaking of this, Cao Pi seemed to be a little emotional, and he added, "I think you are also happy to send him back..."
"Zihuan..."
Without waiting for Zhen Mi to open his mouth, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of Cao Pi's mouth, and he pretended to be open-minded: "I don't mind... I'm sorry for you. β
As he spoke, Cao Pi strode out of the post house.
When he walked to the door, he paused, and he shivered in the cool breeze of the night, and he didn't mind? How could he not mind?
Even if he prefers Guo Zhao, it doesn't mean that he Cao Pi is willing to share his wife with his younger brother...
Merely!
Hehe... Woman, what does he care about? In his Cao Pi's life, women, love... At most, they would only take up 10% of what he had.
And eighty percent of his life, or even ninety percent, is the right, the pinnacle of power!
"Hmph..."
Leaving a sentence coldly, Cao Pi got into the carriage, and Wu Zhen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Childe, you can do this step, it seems... The battle is decided! β
Liu Zhen also sighed: "Zijian has always been dissolute and uninhibited, and he drank excessively, because he broke into Sima Gate at night because of drinking, and Cheng almost deposed him from the people, and now after so many years... His temperament has not changed, he forgets when he drinks, and he is excessively drunk when he drinks, just to let the prime minister know that it is difficult for Zijian to be a great business! β
Call...
Cao Pi didn't speak, he was forbearing, he wanted to endure until the moment he was at his peak!
Then he will take back all the things he has lost today, including his wife, including his dignity.
You must know that the first thing Cao Pi did after succeeding to the throne in history was to take his father Cao Cao's concubines as his own.
The suffering of seizing the heir made him endure it for a lifetime, and when he really got to that position, his heart was already the ultimate pervert!
Of course, today's Cao Pi... His mentality is also approaching the word "perverted".
If you don't go crazy, you can't liveβ
Over there...
Hearing the sound of Cao Pi's carriage walking away, Ding Yi stared at his one-eyed wider, he finally broke into this post house... Seeing Cao Zhi drunk on the table, he hurriedly called: "Zijian Gongzi, why are you drunk like this?" This has to be known to the prime minister, I'm afraid it will be again... And worry about you drinking and making mistakes! β
Without waiting for Ding Yi to finish speaking, Cao Zhi's eyes opened directly, he quietly raised his head, looked out the window, and saw that Cao Pi's carriage had gone away, Cao Zhi relieved himself and muttered: "My second brother is gone!" β
This...
Ding Yi didn't react.
Cao Zhi had already stood up and looked at the table with contempt, and he sighed: "When I broke into Sima Gate at night, it was also my second brother who poured me into the bar, and since I was severely punished by my father that time, I won't get drunk!" β
Yes...
Cao Zhi's words made Ding Yi stunned in place, and it was difficult to come back to his senses for a long time.
Cao Zhi's voice chanted again: "Where is Mr. Li?" I'm going to see him..."
It wasn't until this sentence came out that Ding Yi woke up and hurriedly replied: "Mr. Li is waiting in the mansion where Gongzi is staying, and he said that there is a surprise to give to Gongzi!" β
Surprise?
Cao Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly walked towards the outside of the post house, and when he walked to the lobby, he also saw Zhen Mi...
Zhen Mi was looking at him with a surprised expression.
At this moment, Zhen Mi hasn't come back to her senses, and she can't understand it yet... Why isn't Zijian drunk? Why are you standing here?
However, Zhen Mi is also a smart woman, and as Cao Zhi approaches him, she quickly realizes that Cao Zhi's drunkenness is pretending... It's for Zihuan to see.
This pair of brothers is gambling, fighting...
The current situation in Luoyang City is surging!
At this moment, Zhen Mi also thought of the past... Zijian broke into Sima Gate at night...
It also connects that incident with him now.
- "Zijian seems to be much more mature than before, and he is no longer the younger brother who was toyed with by Zihuan between applause!"
Oh, yes...
Cao Zhi fought for the son of the world for his sister-in-law, but he knew better that if he didn't become the son, then the sister-in-law would always bear the loneliness, along with him... It will also fall into a situation from which it will never recover.
Cao Pi's beauty trick and serial scheme, how could he not notice it?
Sister Zhen who is one night and Sister Zhen who is "one night and one night", which is more important, Cao Zhi can still carry it!
The current situation is that there must be a son first, and then there will be Sister Zhen!
With this in mind...
Cao Zhi walked straight past Zhen Mi, and when the two passed shoulders, he only stopped slightly, and then his lips squirmed, and he groaned in a voice that only he and Zhen Mi could hear.
Then, like two unrelated people, he strode out...
Turned over and rode away.
Only Zhen Mi was left standing alone, lonely and the bright moon in the sky-
You must know that after Cao Pi left, Zhen Mi also specially changed into a red robe...
But at this moment, with the words that Cao Zhi chanted in her ear, Zhen Mi felt that her robe, along with her body, seemed to be dissolving, dissolving little by little...
The air was filled with the red of blood, like the blood of the brothers.
At this moment, her heart was even more restless...
Looking at Cao Zhi's peerless back, she gritted her teeth, and finally muttered Cao Zhi's words.
- "Top... See you at the top... Zijian said... See you at the top! β
At this moment, Zhen Mi realized that today... Her little uncle is no longer what it used to be.
This sentence has pushed the dispute between the sons of the world to a fever pitch...
How can this sentence not touch her heartstrings?
ββBefore the tears are sprinkled on the pear blossoms, the sorrow falls with the flowers.
At this moment, Zhen Mi didn't know her, how should she choose, and which side of her position was?
β¦
β¦
Shouchun City, the door of Zhang Liao's mansion was wide open, and Cao Zhen drove straight in with a cadre of tiger soldiers.
They seemed to have a goal, bypassing Zhang Liao's resting bedroom and heading directly in the direction of the fire room.
At this moment, in the fire room, a pungent smell of garlic hits...
Zhuo Rong was sweating profusely, just now, she spent four hours extracting "allicin" according to Professor Zhang Zhongjing's method and putting it into a clay pot... Look at the clay pot full of allicin, and the abundant aged mustard stew in the wine gourd.
The big stone she lifted in her heart finally landed safely, and she muttered in her mouth: "Today's dose is as much as fifteen days, which is enough for Brother Zhang's infected wound to completely heal." β
Zhuo Rong had just instructed Zhang Liao's personal guards how to apply this allicin externally and how to match it with Chen Mustard stew.
The guard's voice blurted out: "Miss Zhuo, so?" Taken internally and externally, how many days will General Zhang be able to go to the ground? β
Zhuo Rong opened his mouth and was about to answer...
With a "bang", Cao Zhen kicked open the door of this room.
The guards were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing, this is the mansion of General Zhengdong?" How can you wait for you to break in? β
When the guard blurted out this, he sensed that something was wrong, because from the clothes, he could see... The identity of the other party is - Tiger Benjun!
And those who can dispatch the Tiger Ben Army and dispatch the Tiger Ben Army... There is only one person in the entire Cao Wei - Wei Gong Cao Cao!
Suddenly, the guard's brows were deeply condensed.
Cao Zhen pushed the guard away, he walked in front of Zhuo Rong with a dragon and a tiger step, and squinted: "You are the female disciple of Hua Tuo?" β
This...
Zhuo Rong didn't expect her identity to leak so quickly.
Her original plan was to leave here and leave the place where it was right and wrong... I never thought about it...
Zhuo Rong immediately bit her lip, in addition to worrying that her identity would be exposed to the fire, she was also worried about Brother Zhang... will be implicated because of her identity.
"I... I..."
For a while, Zhuo Rong was speechless.
But when he heard a "whoosh", Cao Zhen's knife had been pulled out, and the cold blade was attached to Zhuo Rong's cheek, "Girl, if you don't want to ruin your flowery face, just explain honestly!" β
Zhuo Rong's aggrieved tears swirled in his eyes, but he stubbornly held his head high and didn't let the tears fall...
"Don't touch him..."
It's outside the door... Zhang Liao shouted, heard the movement here, Zhang Liao asked the guards to support and chase the tiger army, as he expected, it was really for Zhuo Rong.
Because of taking Chen mustard stew, Zhang Liao's physical condition has improved a lot, but he is far from being able to stand up independently.
At this moment, seeing Cao Zhen's iron blade glowing with cold light on Zhuo Rong's face, he didn't care so much, and pulled Zhuo Rong behind him and blocked her in front of her.
"General Zidan's subordinates are merciful, his little girl is not sensible, if you provoke the general, please..."
Zhang Liao cautiously removed the knife in Cao Zhen's hand, looked at Cao Zhen's flickering eyes, and said softly: "If she makes any mistakes, please do it for Zhang's sake..."
"Hmph..."Without waiting for Zhang Liao to chant his words, Cao Zhen opened his mouth domineeringly, "Is it possible, if this woman wants to harm the prime minister, can she also spare it for General Zhang's sake?" β
Speaking of this, Cao Zhen waved his hand, "Tie up this female disciple of Hua Tuo!" β
Immediately, as soon as the Tiger Sergeant stepped forward, the cold sweat on Zhang Liao's forehead remained, but he still opened his arms and stopped in front of Zhuo Rong.
Cao Zhen said: "Is it the prime minister's intention to arrest her?" General Zhang has thought about it, you are protecting the person the prime minister wants to arrest! β
This...
Cao Zhen's words made Zhang Liao's insistence loosen all of a sudden, since the surrender of Cao Ying, Cao Cao has treated him well, and he Zhang Liao has never disobeyed Cao Cao!
All of a sudden, Zhang Liao became in a dilemma.
At this time, Zhuo Rong comforted: "Let me go... Brother Zhang rest assured, perhaps, it was just a misunderstanding! β
She tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and told a white lie.
She didn't forget to instruct Zhang Liao at the end, "The mustard stew and allicin should be taken internally and externally twice a day... Until the scab is formed, you can't be sloppy for a day, Brother Zhang... You..."
Speaking of this, Zhuo Rong bit his lower lip, but he still couldn't say all the words hidden in his heart, "Brother Zhang, you take care of yourself, don't care about me..."
It's as if I realized where I belonged.
Zhuo Rong bypassed Zhang Liao's arm, she took the initiative to walk in front of Cao Zhen, and she asked Cao Zhen lightly.
"Do you need to tie me up?"
Cao Zhen glanced at Zhang Liao, "For General Zhang's sake, excuse me, left and right, take away-"
Soon, Cao Zhen and a group of tiger soldiers escorted Zhuo Rong away, but Zhang Liao seemed to be stunned, he seemed to have been thinking about it for a century... An impulsive and bold decision was made.
He stepped forward...
But before he took the first step, with a "bang", he seemed to be exhausted, and the whole person fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
It's just that...
Even if he was in a coma, Zhang Liao muttered to himself:
"Don't move her, don't move her..."
"Prime Minister... Spare her, spare her, if there is no healing from her... There is no longer a living Zhang Wenyuan-"
