Chapter 18 Desperate

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, none of the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty would believe what happened before them.Cao Cao had always given them the impression that he was domineering and domineering like a tiger, but today he behaved like a sheep.Jingzhou Biejia Liu Xian came to Xudu under the order of Liu Biao, firstly to pay homage to the emperor, and secondly to reconcile the war. Unexpectedly, after Liu Xian presented his watch on Liu Biao's behalf, he began to enumerate Cao Cao's faults.What is it to attack the princes under the guise of the sacred order, to invade Jingzhou without reason, to put the responsibility for the Nanyang battle entirely on Cao Cao, and to openly claim that Nanyang County was originally the land of Jingzhou, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Liu Biao.Biejia is just an adjutant under the prefect of the state, and if there is no special reason, he has no right to go to the palace. This Liu Dabiejia not only met the emperor, but also dared to slander and attack the prime minister in the palace. The civil and military officials of the whole court were stunned and thought Cao Cao Will definitely take this person's life.Unexpectedly, he held the wat board in his hand and said nothing. No matter what Liu Xian said, he swallowed his anger and even agreed to give up Nanyang.

Not to mention Cao Cao's party, even the ministers who have never had anything to do with Liu Xian's aggressive behavior can't stand it.Yutang Palace was originally a solemn place, but the ministers couldn't help whispering to each other. Some people secretly cheered when they saw him attacking Cao Cao, some regarded it as a great shame for the court, and some were indignant for Cao Cao.Guang Luxun Xixi is from Shanyang, Yanzhou. He has always been friendly with Cao Cao's party. Seeing this situation, he came out of the class and interjected: "Just now what Liu Biejia said is false. Although Nanyang County is in Jingzhou, it belongs to the Son of Heaven. Isn’t it rebellious for Liu Jingzhou to seize the imperial court in such a way?”

Liu Xian is also a well-known figure in Jingzhou, with extraordinary knowledge.He had figured out the whole story of the Battle of Nanyang a long time ago, and he predicted that Cao Cao would be eager to return to the north. At this critical juncture, no matter how harsh the conditions were, Cao Cao would have to compromise. Only then did he dare to speak boldly in front of the palace, but he didn't expect that Chi Ji would appear on the way.Is there any king in the world? This is an indisputable reason. Although Cao Cao is good at government affairs, as long as the emperor is carried out as a cover, all reasons will be self-defeating.Rao Liu Xian had a quick mind, and after a little thought, he argued strongly: "In the past, Liu Shijun went to the post alone, and he had the merits of establishing a thief and expelling Yuan Shu. , have the right to fake festivals, and since you have the right to fake festivals, you can control a state. If I remember correctly, Mr. Cao also has the right to fake festivals, so I’m afraid it’s more than one state that can be tempered?"

Although Cao Cao had no expression on his face, he was already furious in his heart, but he couldn't do it because of the situation.Now Xixi came out to argue, he also secretly hoped to give Liu Xian some color, but he didn't know that he threw it over to him, he couldn't hold back anymore, he sneered and said: "Yes, I am indeed He is also the shepherd of Yanzhou. However, the important affairs of the country are only for the sacrifice and military affairs, and Liu Shijun is in the suburbs of Jingzhou privately, so I am afraid that this is not within the right of holidays?"

The courtier Jiaotian was acting as an overreacher. Cao Cao thought that this sentence could suppress Liu Xian, but he still had a saying: "Liu Jingzhou's Han Dynasty was in the heart of the Han Dynasty, and he was in the position of the shepherd. Hold jade and silk but have nothing to offer, revise chapters and watches but not gain imperial power, this is to sacrifice to the earth in the suburbs, to show the sincerity!" Liu Xian's sentence "The king's way is not smooth, the road is blocked by fierce gangs, he holds jade and silk but has nothing to offer, and repairs the charts but does not gain the emperor" is clearly accusing Cao Cao of coercing the emperor to order the princes, blocking the king's way and rebelling against the world.The officials immediately fell silent after hearing this, and all their eyes were secretly aimed at Cao Cao.There was an instant silence in the main hall, and even the sound of dripping water could be heard outside the hall.Cao Cao held the wat board in his hand and remained motionless, killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Who is the 'group of murderers' that Liu Biejia mentioned?"

"It's everywhere!" Liu Xian didn't know whether it was fear or indifference, but he just refused to look up at Cao Cao. "It's everywhere?" Cao Cao finally stood up and stepped out of the class, "I have a soldier named Xiong Zhen who rides a hundred thousand at a time. Who would dare to refuse to accept the punishment? Liu Biejia listed the gangsters, and I would like to stand on my behalf." The Son of Heaven cuts off the country’s thieves.” When he said this, he held the wat in his left hand and tightly grasped the hilt of his sword with his right hand—there was no way to carry weapons on the palace, but Cao Cao had the right to go to the palace with the sword by virtue of moving the capital.But if he commits a crime in front of Yu Jia, then the ritual system of honoring the king created by him will be gone.

Liu Xian suddenly turned his face, and bowed to Cao Cao: "Han Dao Mausoleum is long and haggard, and no loyal people wear the wings of the emperor Suining Hainei, so that all nations will return to virtue. Don't you know that relying on soldiers will destroy the people, and the people will rebel if the people are destroyed ?At this time, the people cannot keep the people in peace and keep their jobs. Instead, they resort to military force. I am afraid that Chiyou (Chi You, the chief of the Jiuli tribe in ancient legends, was defeated by Emperor Yan and Huangdi in the battle of Zhuolu for invading the tribe of Huangdi), Zhibo ( Bo Zhi, that is, Xun Yao, was one of the Six Ministers in the late Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. The fact that the state of Jin was divided into three kingdoms, Han, Zhao, and Wei, will happen again!" When they heard that he had compared Chi You and Zhi Bo to Cao Cao, who had died in the battle, they were all scared out of their wits, and their hearts were raised in their throats. He didn't even dare to glance at Cao Cao again.

Unexpectedly, after a long while, Cao Cao slowly let go of his saber, and a smile appeared on his hideous face: "Okay... okay... I will follow Liu Biejia's words and stay safe and stay safe. Please also Tell Liu Jingzhou, please don't do any more useless things, let's stop fighting here." "Promise." Liu Xian gave a deep salute—he was also beating his heart. Facing someone like Cao Cao, no matter how hard his mouth was, how could he not be afraid in his heart? Xun Yu watched from the side, his hands were sweating, and seeing the situation was safe and sound, he hurried out of the class and knelt down: "I invite the emperor, Liu Biejia is a foreign minister, and the pilgrimage is over now. It can be ordered to retreat to the post house, and the reward will be added in another day."

The emperor Liu Xie is just a puppet, how can there be any reason not to follow Xun Yu's words?But before he had time to speak, Cao Cao suddenly interrupted sharply: "What you said is wrong! Liu Xian came all the way to the capital and worked tirelessly to meet the emperor. Why do you wait for this loyal act to be rewarded in the future? Why don't you reward Liu now?" First, I will be the prefect of Wuling." Wuling County is also within the border of Jingzhou, so don't be promoted to be the prefect, which is already a great promotion. Liu Xiexi sighed lightly like a gossamer, waved his hands: "Just follow Cao Gong's words."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Xian fell to his knees to thank him, "May Your Majesty live forever and be in Yongkang!" He got up and bowed his hands to Cao Cao, "Thank you, Mr. Cao." Then he straightened his clothes and slowly retreated outside the hall, thinking to himself—— I contradicted Thief Cao because of the truce, and instead of being angry, he promoted me to an official position. This fellow is strong and soft, but he is a hero. Liu Jingsheng is inferior to him in terms of talent and wisdom. I am afraid that the land of Jingxiang will eventually fall into this fellow. hand...

The civil and military officials in the hall watched Liu Xian walk down the jade steps unhurriedly, and after a long time, he gradually relaxed, and no one said a word for a long time.Xun Yu thought that it would be inappropriate for Cao Cao to call the court meeting in violation of the regulations, so he went out of class and played again: "I report to your majesty that Zang Ba, the governor of Qingzhou, has a good report. Kefu, I would also like to ask all of you adults to discuss, with what right to lead the government affairs of the two counties." Liu Xie waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "Let's discuss it." In fact, everyone knows that the discussion is useless, and it is Cao Cao who made the final decision. This is just a symbolic procedure.Situ Zhao Wen stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Qingzhou has recently recovered, and a man of high morals and respect has been elected as the county general. Guang Luxun Xi Hongyu is Zheng Kangcheng's disciple. He is admired by people in Beihai and favored by Duke Cao. You might as well let him be the county governor. It's a waste of time." Zhao Wen is notoriously tactful, and he chose Xi Xi as a candidate, without losing the majesty of the court and without hurting Cao Cao's face.Xi Xi sat at the head of Zhao Wen and heard him recommend him. Although he knew that he would not be able to do so, he still felt honored. Unexpectedly, before this remark was finished, Kong Rong, the Shaofu on the opposite side, retorted: "What Mr. Zhao said is wrong. It is not the director of Xi Hongyu who governs a county in terms of culture, repair and military equipment." Such criticism in front of him not only offended Xi Ji, but also made Zhao Wen unable to step down. All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Xi Ji was kind to Cao Cao, and Kong Rong was so ruthless who would dare to discuss it any further.At this moment, the Son of Heaven spoke in a lukewarm way: "It is not the head of the county that governs a county, so what is Hongyu's strength?" There was a hint of gloating in the words. Kong Rong replied: "Looking at it from the perspective of my ministers, Xi Hongyu can be with Shi Dao, but he can't be with power." That Xi Xi is also a disciple of Zheng Xuan's sect, his tongue is as sharp as Kong Rong, how could he be allowed to ridicule like this?Immediately held up the wat board and retorted: "The ministers are not capable enough, but they can not be given power. However, Kong Wenju used to be the Prime Minister of Beihai, and the government was scattered, the people flowed and the army was defeated. Where is his power?" The courtiers of the Han court most emphasized etiquette Well, Kong Rong said that it is taboo to talk long and short, and his cynicism was even more extreme, and everyone in the palace was embarrassed.Only Cao Cao was pleased with himself, he had long been dissatisfied with Kong Rong, and Chi Xi's refutation was considered to help him vent his anger.But he just sneered secretly, but when he didn't want to, someone suddenly laughed out loud—it wasn't someone else, but the emperor on the throne. Liu Xie looked left and right, and saw that the two Jiuqing officials were like fighting cocks, and his heart was cold to the freezing point——Okay, that's great!It's just such a group of incompetent courtiers, the powerful ministers who are in charge of the country's crisis, not only can't work together to support me, but also criticize each other and fight endlessly.Just relying on you helpless courtiers, how can our great Han society not perish?How can the old man Cao Cao not seize my country... Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky: "Hahaha...hahaha..." The sad and sad smile lingered among the carved beams and painted buildings, and everyone was stunned. Xun Yu became more and more anxious, and hurriedly said: "All the affairs of the court meeting have been discussed, please leave the court, Your Majesty." Liu Xie laughed wildly to himself, two drops of tears rolled down before he knew it, fortunately there was a crown to cover it.He just raised his hand feebly: "Let's go... let's go...Cao Gong stay a step, I still have something to say." Most of the ministers and ministers were just foils, so they didn't have the courage to resist Cao Cao at all. They finally hoped that the court meeting of this war of words and guns would be over, so they quickly got up and resigned, and hurried away like a group of old rabbits.Kong Rong and Xi Xi stared blankly at each other for a long time, each forced a sneer, and withdrew from the court.Xun Yu knew that the Son of Heaven was full of grievances, and today he lost his composure and laughed, and then wanted to leave Cao Cao alone. He was really worried about their monarchs and ministers, so he stayed quietly.Cao Cao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and knelt down on Dan Chi and said, "I don't know what orders your Majesty has left for the old minister." Liu Xie stared at him blankly, and said absently, "Mr. Xun Ling, step down." Xun Yu couldn't help frowning, but the king ordered his subjects to respect him, looked at Cao Cao, and slowly retreated. Liu Xie pointed to the Huangmen officials and Huben officials who were serving in the palace: "You also step down." Although these people are the emperor's close servants, they are the villagers selected by Cao Cao. Going to stay, staring at Cao Cao, seeing him nodding slightly, he backed away rustlingly. There are only two monarchs and ministers left in the Qing Leng Hall, you look at me and I look at you, without saying a word for a long time.For some reason, Cao Cao gradually felt that the atmosphere was suffocatingly silent, especially through the bead curtain of the crown, he could not see the slightest expression of the emperor, so he couldn't help asking: "Why does Your Majesty keep the old minister?" Liu Xie didn't answer when he heard the words, and sat there for a while, then suddenly took off the emperor's crown with his own hands.Ministers cannot easily look up at the face of the emperor, and Cao Cao did not dare to break this rule. He quickly lowered his head, but listened to him say: "Mr. Cao, look up and see me." Cao Cao felt that his words were as cold as ice, and quickly pleaded guilty: "I dare not look up at the king." "Don't dare..." Liu Xie seemed to laugh, "I forgive you for your innocence, just look up at me..." Cao Cao, who was fearless and fearless, trembled slightly at this moment.Knowing that this emperor has no real power, he still can't help being afraid of his words and deeds - this is the deterrence of imperial power, and it is also the moral bottom line of a courtier. Cao Cao tremblingly raised his head, glanced at the young emperor lightly, then quickly lowered his head again——Liu Xie's face was fair and clean, and his appearance was quite handsome.What is incongruous is that there is a bit of tenderness and melancholy in the corners of his brows and eyes, and those round and big eyes seem to have no luster, like a dry ancient well; what is especially unbearable is that this twenty-four-year-old The young man has a few strands of white hair on his temples! Liu Xie's expression was neither angry nor resentful.He once hated the powerful official in front of him to the marrow, intending to kill him quickly, and was heartbroken because of Dong Guiren's death... But now, he has become numb, and people in the world no longer remember him as the emperor. Chao Wenwu only obeys Cao Cao's order.He had long since lost hope and pain, and all that was left was the blank reality: "How long has it been since Mr. Cao came to see the widow?" Cao Cao couldn't answer this question. He really couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen the emperor.Busy and busy all day in the South and North Wars, what I heard in my ears were mostly praises and praises, as if the emperor really existed only when he surrendered and rebelled in a high-sounding manner.He lay there dumbfounded for a long time, still unable to remember that the last time he met the emperor was a few months ago, so he pleaded guilty and said: "The old minister has not seen him for a long time, so I really can't remember clearly. But the hard work of the minister is for your majesty." Jiangshan Sheji, wait until the day when I have accomplished the task of exterminating the rebels, then..." "I don't want to hear this." Liu Xie interrupted his crowning article. Hearing this, Cao Cao thought that Liu Xie was going to vent his dissatisfaction again, so he quickly pushed back: "The old minister must say it." "Then you can tell." Liu Xie shook his head helplessly. "No. There may be inappropriate things in what I do, but I will do my best for your Majesty. If the rebels can be wiped out and the world can be unified, the Han Dynasty will be restored to light. It can comfort all living beings of the common people of Li. Tomorrow, I will lead troops to conquer the rebellious minister Yuan Shang, and I hope that Your Majesty can..." Cao Cao suddenly raised his head in the middle of speaking, and couldn't help being stunned—Liu Xie didn't listen to him at all, but looked up. The carved beams of the palace are completely indifferent. Seeing him like this, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied.If someone else dared to ignore him like this, he would have to blame him to vent his hatred if he didn't kill that person, but this person is the emperor, and he must abide by the way of a courtier, so he had to tentatively ask: "What does your majesty do to the old minister?" dissatisfied?" Liu Xie seemed to have no fear at all, still raised his head and said indifferently: "No... I don't blame you, I don't blame anyone... I was just thinking, this palace is so stuffy, it's like It’s like a cage, I’m bound here, I don’t know the flowers bloom and fade all year round... I still remember the saying in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou": "Fu Liezi walks against the wind, calm and kind, and he will return after five days in ten days." Those who bring blessings are not counted. If you take advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and guard against the debate of the six qi, if you want to swim infinitely, you will be evil!' I really want to get rid of all this stuffy, go A place where there is no bondage..." Cao Cao suddenly felt chills from the back of his spine. He felt that the ethereal words were so ghostly, and he didn't know how to answer them. He stammered and said, "If, if you feel bored, why don't you take the empress and princes for a walk in the imperial garden?" .” There was another tormenting silence... Liu Xie suddenly stood up unsteadily, pointed at the Long Shuan and looked straight at Cao Cao, muttering with his lips, "Cao Aiqing, if you really want to protect me wholeheartedly, please let me go." Let me make my own decision. If you don’t want to protect me, please let me go... I am willing to live in the forest forever and serve the people for generations. You can take this seat!" Hearing this, Cao Cao was like thunder, and fell to the ground sweating profusely. Liu Xie showed a smile like a spring breeze, and pointed to the Long Shuan, his tone was as calm as clear water: "You just come and sit in this seat, I just want... to be free." In an instant, Cao Cao was completely defeated by this young man!If he was complaining, insulting, or yelling, with Cao Cao's character, he dared to fight back.But he wants to give away the throne as a gift. How can such a change in ethics be a blow that ordinary people can bear!Don't say that Cao Cao has never had such an idea, even if he secretly thought about it in the dead of night, he would not dare to do it!What's more, the world has not yet settled down. Cao Cao claims to serve the Son of Heaven in order to win over ministers. If he himself refuses to be ministers first, what else can he rely on to punish others?What face is there to stand in the world?Wouldn't it be accused by thousands of people, classified as Wang Mang first-class, drowned by the spittle of the world! Cao Cao shivered suddenly, feeling as if his back was on fire, and the only reaction in his mind was to run away.Run away... Fearless, he is like a deserter who has lost a battle, a thief discovered by others.He didn't even have the courage to resign, he panicked and rolled out of the main hall of the Yutang Hall, trembling, he only descended half of the jade steps, when suddenly his soles of his feet stepped on the air - he rolled down from the seventh or eighth jade steps. "Mr. Cao fell down..." More than a dozen warriors in front of the hall yelled and ran over to help. "Don't come here!" Cao Cao's crown was knocked off, his feet were thrown to nowhere, and his forehead was red and swollen from the jade steps, but he quickly got up on his knees, holding the sword in his hand and shouted sharply, "No one Come here! Anyone who dares to come here... the old man will kill him! The old man will kill his whole family!" His hoarse voice was so hoarse that it was out of shape. The warriors didn't know what to do, so they had no choice but to scatter around in fear. Cao Cao stared at the group of people with bloodshot eyes—although they were all selected by Xiahou Dun, and they were all fellow villagers in Peiguoqiao County, but they still had weapons in their hands.Those who held military power under the old system of the Han family should be accompanied by tigers and ben soldiers when they entered the emperor.At this moment, Cao Cao was full of fear, and everything in front of him made him feel uneasy.Even if these people don't want to murder themselves, if the weapons in their hands are not steady, how terrible it will be if they touch themselves!horrible!Everyone is so scary! run away!Keep running!Xudu Imperial Palace, don't come here again... Thinking about this, Cao Cao shouted even more, until he saw those bewildered tigers retreating to the palace gate, and then he raised his sharp sword and kicked deep and shallow at the palace gate. direction.Just like that, trembling and running for a long distance, I saw Xu Chudu leading the confidant of the shogunate coming towards me. Xu Chuben, who was serving at Yimen, rushed over when he heard the yelling. When he saw Cao Cao's distorted facial features, he was also startled: "My lord, why do you look like this?" Cao Cao bumped his head between Xu Chu's arms, but he couldn't help shaking his head and panting heavily.The guards were also terrified. They rubbed their chests, patted their backs, put away their swords and adjusted his clothes. Seeing that he was still in shock, Xu Chu asked anxiously, "Could it be that someone intends to assassinate the lord?" ?” "No...no..." Cao Cao muttered with terrified eyes. "If there is a change in the palace, it is inconvenient for my lord to mention it, why don't you tell your lord?" This sentence can be regarded as bringing Cao Cao back to reality.His eyes lit up, then gradually dimmed—how could such an ambiguous matter be told to Xun Yu, if it was spread again, wouldn't it cause a commotion?He gritted his teeth, grabbed Xu Chu's arm, and said viciously: "Don't mention today's matter to anyone... Go and tell Ding Chong and Xi Xi to kill all the guards on duty today, Huangmen!" "why?" "Don't ask why! Kill!" Xu Chu was kind-hearted: "They are all from our hometown in Peiguo. If you killed them innocently, how can you face the elders in your hometown in the future." "Then...then drive them out of the capital and never re-enter Xudu!" "No." He refused to speak clearly, and Xu Chu didn't dare to ask again, so he could only help him slowly out of the Duanmen.Seeing that he hadn't come out for a long time, many servants on errands were already waiting outside the palace gate. Cao Cao didn't tremble until he got into the carriage, closed his eyes and frowned, and only sighed.Chen Jiao trotted to his side and said: "My lord, I just heard the news from Dongcheng that Chen Yuanlong fell ill and died seven days ago. Just as Hua Tuo expected, it happened to be three years!" In Cao Cao's opinion, Chen Dengzhi's death was a good thing, but at this moment he couldn't cheer up and just waved his hand: "I see." Just at this time, I heard the sound of horseshoes, and three horsemen came running from Zhengnan, they were Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.These three little brothers are extraordinarily energetic today, wearing military uniforms, leather hats on their heads, and swords straddling their waists.Cao Zhen drove to the front of the car first, jumped off the horse and knelt down on the ground: "I beg my father to take me out with me to serve the court!" Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi also arrived: "Zidan's words are also what a child thinks, and the child has passed In the year of Dancing Elephant, it's time to follow my father to make achievements." Cao Xiu also said: "My mother and son have been raised by my uncle, and it is time to report to the emperor and report to my uncle. Please take me to the battlefield." Cao Cao sat limply in the car, looking at the three children—parents are the same all over the world, and it is not that he is not optimistic about Cao Pi.It's just that people have been talking about him, Mr. Cao, for these years. He doesn't want his son to get involved in the affairs of court officials too early. One is to avoid talking, and the other is to fear that they will act domineeringly because of their status.Now all this is different. At this moment, he just wants to arm the whole family and let his nephews be by his side to protect him... Cao Cao stretched out his hand to hold Cao Pi uncharacteristically: "Since you are willing, you can go to the Chinese army to ride a tiger and leopard, and you can't be a father." Pseudo-public and self-serving favor one over the other. But if you want to live in my Chinese military camp, you must lead troops to protect the safety of your father!" Cao Pi was both excited and surprised. His father's tone today was quite different from usual.Before asking more questions, Wang Bi squeezed into the crowd and threw himself in front of the car: "My lord, Uncle Liu is dead." Uncle Liu is serving Liu Miao. Cao Cao sighed again when he heard the words—although Liu Miao was upset with him because of the jade belt edict because of the royal family of Baoliang, and after a lot of nonsense, he forced the prince's clothes to be removed from his clan, changed to Li's, and closed the case hastily.But the old man is a kind person to him after all.Suddenly thinking of the Yudai Edict, Cao Cao’s heart that had just been let go became tense again, and the bloody silk seemed to reappear in front of his eyes—"Put the ears of this mad and rebellious minister!" Long, still seems to be bleeding. Wang Bi followed Cao Cao and used to be Liu Miao's subordinate. The iron man was crying like tears. Seeing Cao Cao's bewildered face, he thought he was also sad about Liu Miao's matter, so he knelt and climbed a few steps to grab the car Yan: "Old Uncle Liu has no heirs. I implore my lord to allow my subordinates to stay in Xudu to mourn for the old man. I have repaid the old master's kindness." Cao Cao nodded hesitantly: "You stay here for sending troops this time. After Liu Miao's funeral, you gather your family members together, and then recruit some relatives' children to form another army for me." "Form another army?" Wang Bi was very surprised. "Yes! The old man wants you to lead this pair of troops to protect the safety of the shogunate and family members at all times!" "The subordinate understands." Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and said: "You tell Yuan Rang for me, tell him to be careful about Xu Du Zhouza, don't be careless." "promise!" "Also...tell Lu Hong and Zhao Da to keep an eye on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and report any troubles to me as soon as possible. Then call Deng Zhan, who is proficient in swordsmanship, to the army to protect me. Say hello to Mao Jie, call him right away!" "Promise!" Wang Bi didn't understand why he suddenly became so cautious, but he still followed everything; Cao Cao felt a little relieved now, and leaned on the car crookedly. Everyone saw that Cao Cao's expression was not right at the moment, thinking that he had suffered from his old headache again.Chen Jiao interjected: "My lord's complexion is not good. The doctor Hua Tuo has been away from Guangling for many days. I heard that he traveled in Pengcheng. Why don't you invite him to treat the lord?" "The old man is not sick!" Cao Cao leaned wearily on the car, "Even if he has a disease, it is a heart disease, and it cannot be cured by a charlatan..." Cao Pi said: "Father, don't refuse people thousands of miles away. Hua Tuo is good at treating chronic diseases and the world knows it. Do you remember the old soldier Li Cheng who died suddenly last year? Hua Tuo treated him for eighteen years. Afterwards, the old illness relapsed, and it has been eighteen years since his death last year?" Chen Jiao also said: "The verdicts of Chen Deng and Li Cheng have come true, my lord may as well call him to serve with the army, even if you are in good health, it is good to heal the wounds of the generals." Cao Cao was also tired: "Leave it to you... let's go!" Xu Chu Pingshi shouted: "My lord, get up and go back to the shogunate." "No, no, no!" Cao Cao waved his hands again and again, "If you don't go back to the shogunate, go out of the city immediately and go to the palace." "Tomorrow we will dispatch troops to the north, won't my lord rest in the mansion for a night?" Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of panic: "Don't wait for tomorrow, go tonight! The sooner the better!" For some reason, he felt that this Xudu created by himself was very scary, and it seemed that someone would rush out to ask him any time. life.He didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so he should hurry up and join the war. The battlefield where the two armies clashed was much safer than here. After this incident, Cao Cao never had an audience with the emperor alone until his death...
