Chapter 178: Cao Cao's Death

When Xu Huang sent this battle report, he had not yet encountered the blockade of the mountain "safari" troops, and this was the last message he sent before he was captured.

"Shang led his troops to wade through the water to pursue, but the enemy broke the embankment upstream, and the water drained, separating our army on both banks. Shang Bing was defeated and captured, and Huang was blocked from the east of the water, and he was not allowed to enter the ......"

Cao Cao lay weakly on the couch with an unbearable headache, and waved his hand when he heard this, signaling that he didn't need to read it anymore.

After fighting all his life, he could already guess the outcome of the battle of the three counties just by hearing this, although Cao Cao faced Lao Liu's successive defeats, he did not feel that the Great Wei he built would lose.

It's just that the pace of unification of the world seems to be staggering again...... I just hope that future generations will be able to inherit their legacy.

In the past few days, he often felt weak and weak, and he was out of breath when he moved, and he spent more and more time asleep and less awake every day.

Now when I hear this, I feel that my energy is losing rapidly, and I feel drowsy.

Feeling that his limit was approaching, Cao Cao had already summoned his ministers in advance, including Cao Zhi, who was in Luoyang at this time, and they all knelt down in front of the couch at this time.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and began to weakly recount his last words: "I am in the army, and I hold the law." As for petty wrath, great negligence, and undue effect, ......"

There are officials beside him who write down the records.

In addition to this first sentence, which can be regarded as a warning to future generations, what Cao Cao said later began to gradually become outrageous.

After his death, he still has to be buried in his usual clothes, do not accompany the burial jewelry, the garrison army is not allowed to leave the station, and the officials still have to perform their duties, and it is enough to cry fifteen times to come and cry me......

His concubines and kabuki were living a very hard life, so he placed them in Tongquetai and treated them well. The hall is set up with a six-foot bed, hanging a spiritual curtain, placing sacrifices, and letting them sing and dance on the bed on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month......

Even in the end, he was babbling about what to do with the spices and clothes he had left, and the ladies who had nothing to do in each room could learn to weave brocade shoes and sell them......

However, he did not mention the war in the three counties that had not yet ended, nor did he say anything about national policy and strategy, nor even asked to arrange the affairs of the Han Dynasty in the future.

After working all his life, he laid down the land of Kyushu, leaving his son with a big country, and in his later years, he almost cleared all the obstacles to becoming the emperor for future generations.

Just wait for his son to find the right time to sign his name, and the real estate certificate of Dahan Jiangshan will be officially transferred to the name of his old Cao family.

Before he died, he only said that he would share incense and sell all kinds of trivial things.

left his last breath of spirit to his "small family" and his "life".

Soon after speaking, Cao Cao gradually closed his eyes and sighed softly and silently, but it did not reach everyone's ears: "Liu Bei gave birth to a good son...... It would be great if my sons Cao Ang and Cang Shu (Cao Chong) were here."

In a trance, he seemed to see the uninhibited young man who killed his eunuch uncle on the streets of Luoyang, and talked about being the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the west......

"King Wei? King Wei?! Xu Chu looked up at Cao Cao, who was no longer speaking on the couch, and his words trembled.

"Father! Fatherβ€”"

Cao Zhi and a group of ministers wept bitterly, among which Xu Chu was the worst, and even cried until he vomited blood.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the prime minister of Han and the king of Wei, collapsed in Luoyang and was buried in Gaoling. The crown prince Cao Pi succeeded him as prime minister and attacked the prince of Wei.

Cao Cao's life was full of contradictions.

can write "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The people are one of the hundred, and the reading breaks people's intestines"; can also slaughter the people of Xuzhou for personal revenge, and kill Surabaya without flowing.

It can punish the strong, restrict the strong from annexing the land of the small people, recruit the homeless, persuade the farmers to teach the mulberry, build water conservancy, and check the household registration; He also connived at his subordinates to loot the people, and robbed the tombs with gold to fill the army.

can lead by example, advocate integrity, do not wear fancy clothes, the curtain screen is full of patches, and the bed and bedding are ruined; It can also build a large number of buildings, build Tongque Terrace, and recruit concubines and Kabuki people.

He wrote several military books and war strategies, and wrote Taowu strategy; And because of his greed for beauty, Wancheng killed the three sages with one shot.

conquest of Wuhuan and Xianbei and other foreign races, so that they can divide and rule; A large number of Hu people moved inward, laying hidden dangers for the future chaos.

There are countless martial arts and martial arts, and the bad deeds and evil deeds are also speckled.

After all, a generation of heroes buried in the loess for a long time, and did not see the unification of the country until their deaths, and left a lifetime of merit and demerit, and let future generations comment.

Before Boss Cao died, he only hoped that his concubine would be treated well, but he was afraid that he would not think that his bones would not be cold in the future, and his own son Cao Pi would be able to "treat" his concubine well.

It can only be said that this son is indeed his own......

……

Some people are sad, some people rejoice, but the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

After Liu Chan rearranged the defense and policies of the three counties, he led the Red Star Army back to Hanzhong by water.

Wei Yan had learned from Wang Ping that the three counties had won a great victory, and now he personally led the generals to meet him at the Chihan Wharf.

"Minister, congratulations on the prince's victory!" Wei Yan, whose face was full of red light, bowed down first.

[Wei Yan's Opinion +10, +10] (53)

【……】

[Wei Yan's friendship is 50, long soldier talent +10Γ—2, army management talent +10Γ—2, strategy (odd) talent +3Γ—2, gain trait "arrogant"]

[Arrogance]: When facing more enemy soldiers than your own, as long as you remain untimid, your physique and combat talent can be temporarily improved over time.

Liu Chan looked at the characteristic prompt in the lower right corner and almost couldn't help laughing.

Stay untimid? Good guys, when I'm [Gentian] a decoration, right?

[Gentian] + [Proud Bone] + [Perseverance] + [Courage after Shame] provided by the silver screen, and four characteristics perfectly form a combination.

In the future, if you fall into a hard-fought and protracted battle, you must feel a little surprise to your opponent.

As more and more traits were obtained, the wonderful combination between them began to manifest itself, and they all exerted a stronger effect than before.

Liu Chan suddenly had a feeling that when playing a card game, he collected card decks to form a joint effect......

"Ministers, congratulations on the crown prince's triumph!" The rest of the generals also bowed down one after another.

Following the Battle of Jingzhou, Liu Chan once again proved his ability with a big victory.

Not only was it regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by Cao Wei and Sun Wu's camps, but it also convinced all the civil and military forces under Lao Liu, and they all sighed that there was a successor to the king.

In addition to whether the lord knows whether the lord is the lord or not, whether he has children and the ability of the heirs is also the most important thing.

The ancient emperors accepted concubines and worked the couch, in addition to satisfying their selfish desires, it also had its reason at that time.

Now that Lao Liu has a son, people have made up their minds, and more and more local families in Yizhou have begun to seriously consider their future positions......

The Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, it seems, is not such an unreliable thing?

Liu Chan hurriedly took a few steps forward, helped Wei Yan up with both hands, and then helped the generals and officials, and said with a smile: "There is only this victory, and it is also General Wenchang who came to help in time. Let's have a feast and drink with all of you! ”

Wei Yan laughed: "The ministers have already prepared a banquet, just waiting for the prince to triumph, and today they will definitely conspire to get drunk!" ”

Sent the post guard to report the victory to Chengdu, and that night Hanzhong lit a bonfire again, killing sheep and slaughtering cattle, and rejoicing up and down.

After the celebration banquet, Wei Yanben wanted to stay with the prince for a few more days to talk about the battle of the three counties in detail.

It's just that Liu Chan saw that Chai Rong was not optimistic, although it was not a good thing to have a bumpy road, but there was no famous doctor here for a long time, and Chai Rong was only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, so he said goodbye.

led the army west to Yangping Pass, but Ma Chao passed without entering, and sent out ten miles, Fang dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Minister, send the prince." …… I only hope that one day the king will give an order, and the minister will lead the army north out of Yangping to kill the enemy and fight the thief for the king and the prince! ”

Ma Chao found that he was really a little reluctant, these days are his happiest time in recent years, even better than back then.

After all, he had to intrigue with Han Sui at the beginning, but now this kind of atmosphere of unity is something he has never felt.

I only felt that I thought I was smart in the first half of my life, but I didn't understand it at all.

It's a really good feeling now.

Liu Chan hugged his fists and smiled: "Today's farewell, General Meng Qi should take care." Lone also looks forward to killing the enemy side by side with the general in the coming day, and fight against the thief together. ”

Ma Chao bowed and saluted: "Prince take care!" ”

"Take care, General."

The two said goodbye, Liu Chan led his own army and was about to return, but he saw a group of people and horses, who were hurrying from the Golden Bull Road......
