Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 49: Who is the rival of the world’s heroes, Cao Liu (more updates requested for further reading)

When Sima Yi walked out of the inner room with the empty medicine bowl, Cao Zhi impatiently asked: "Sima Jun, how is your father's health?"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhi with a dull expression.

Although the young master of the Cao family in front of him was talented, his words and deeds were arbitrary. To put it simply, he had no brains.

There is a Sima Gate in the palace city of Xudu, and there is a Chi Road inside the Sima Gate, which is the royal road exclusively for the emperor.

Two years ago, Cao Zhi did not know whether he meant to cause trouble or was instigated by others, but he drove drunkenly on Chidao in Simamen.

Just one year after Cao Cao became king, Cao Zhi got drunk and drove a car on the emperor's royal road. Uninformed people thought that Cao Cao was going to kill Liu Xie and proclaim himself emperor.

This made Cao Cao very angry. Cao Cao killed the official on the spot and even imprisoned Cao Zhi.

If the officials had not begged for mercy and Liu Xie had not issued an edict to persuade him, Cao Cao would have killed Cao Zhi in tears.

After this incident, Cao Cao became more and more disappointed with Cao Zhi.

Although Cao Cao had the idea of ​​​​replacing Liu Xie, even Wang Mang had to go through the process of deposing Han Li Xin.

You must first distribute the benefits to the ministers, promise what will happen after becoming emperor, and then go through the process of abdication.

Cao Zhi's drunken racing on the royal road is no different from Sima Zhao's killing of Cao Mao in the street.

After that, Liu Xie issued an edict to give Cao Cao a royal crown with ten talents, a golden chariot with six horses, and a five-hour auxiliary chariot. He also appointed Pi as the crown prince of Wei.

Sima Yi thought afterward that this matter must be related to Cao Pi.

At that time, Cao Cao was always hesitant about who should be the crown prince of Wei. However, at this critical period, Cao Zhi went to the Emperor's Royal Road to drunkenly drive a car.

If he said that there was no one around Cao Zhi to encourage him, Sima Yi would not believe it.

It was also from that time that Sima Yi had a new understanding of Cao Pi, who usually seemed to be inconspicuous.

"In terms of talent, Cao Pi's talent is not as good as Cao Zhi's; in terms of martial arts, Cao Pi's talent is not as good as Cao Zhang's."

"In terms of scheming, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang together are not even half as good as Cao Pi."

"Cao Zhi inherited the talent of the King of Wei, Cao Zhang inherited the bravery of the King of Wei, and only Cao Pi inherited the cunning of the King of Wei."

"As a prince of Wei, you may not be talented or brave, but you must not be cunning."

"The King of Wei wants an heir who can rule his subordinates, not an heir who only knows how to write or wield a spear or stick."

With this thought in his mind, Sima Yi subconsciously kept a distance from Cao Zhi.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even though Sima Yi pretended to be crazy and acted foolishly, he could not escape Cao Cao's conquest. If he wanted to survive under Cao Cao, he had to be more thoughtful than ordinary people.

"The King of Wei has just rested, Mr. Zhi, it's better not to disturb him." Sima Yi was neither humble nor overbearing, and he had a well-founded approach and retreat.

Cao Zhi frowned and looked at Sima Yi with an evil look in his eyes: "You dare to stop me?"

Sima Yi turned sideways and said, "Master Zhi, please excuse me."

bar?
  Will I, Sima Yi, stop a brainless person?

Sima Yi sneered secretly and didn't pay much attention to Cao Zhi's attitude.

For Sima Yi, this kind of inconsequential conflict should be avoided if possible.

Sima Yi did not stop him, but Xu Chu, who was also responsible for guarding, was not used to Cao Zhi: "Mr. Zhi, the King of Wei is resting. You are not allowed to enter without being summoned."

"You!" As soon as Cao Zhi put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, Xu Chu's sword was unsheathed three inches.

Cao Zhi's right hand moved away from the hilt of the sword.

If Sima Yi blocked it, Cao Zhi would dare to draw his sword and kill Sima Yi; but if Xu Chu blocked it, Cao Zhi would have to consider Xu Chu's force.

If the sword is really drawn, even if Cao Zhi is killed by Xu Chu, Xu Chu is still Xu Chu, Cao Cao's most trusted guard.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Cao Cao's voice sounded from inside the house: "Zhong Kang, let Zhi'er come in."

After hearing Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu's sword slowly returned to its sheath and moved out of the way.

Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went inside to see Cao Cao: "My son was worried about his father's illness, so he lost his temper. Please punish him." Cao Zhi's excuse was lame, but Cao Cao did not blame Cao Zhi.

During this time in Chang'an, Cao Zhi personally prepared medicine for Cao Cao every day, and his body always smelled of medicine.

This is rare for Cao Zhi, who has always loved cleanliness.

Sima Yi's statement that "Young Master Zhi is extremely filial" was not false.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao was willing to give Cao Zhi another chance to make meritorious deeds.

"Has Zhi'er been reading military books recently?" Cao Cao still closed his eyes.

Cao Zhi did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "My son has read military books and asked the generals in the army for advice on military matters."

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Cao Zhi's answer: "If Zhi'er has free time, he can go to the chief clerk to learn how to prepare grain and grass."

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

Those responsible for allocating food and grass can only be appointed by the most trusted and respected people.

Cao Zhi was already smart, and he understood Cao Cao's intention as soon as he heard these words: "Thank you, father!"

"Step back, don't argue with others anymore." Cao Cao waved his hand gently.

Cao Zhi was stunned and did not dare to say anything. He bowed to Cao Cao and then exited the inner room.

"Zhi'er, this is the last time. Don't let me down again." Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze making people shudder.

Cao Cao stood up and came to the bronze mirror. Looking at the old face in the bronze mirror, the evil spirit in his eyes became even worse.

"Liu Bei, you are really a rival that you both love and hate."

"You started from humble beginnings, and you have been defeated many times, but you are still able to defeat a single person in Hanzhong and return with joy."

"It's a pity that Gu has the right time. Even if you win Gu, you can't go against the will."

"You are getting old too."

"Otherwise, with your stability, you wouldn't be eager to plot Xiangfan again after winning Hanzhong."

"Yuan Benchu's mistakes in the past have now also appeared to you and me."

"Are you worried that your pretense will embarrass you in your important task?"

"It is difficult for people who are eager for success to achieve success."

Cao Cao thought of Yuan Shao in the past.

If Yuan Shao does not die, even if Cao Cao wins the Battle of Guandu, it will not change the overall situation.

same.

Cao Cao is still here, even if Liu Bei wins the Battle of Hanzhong, it will not change the overall situation.

This is what Cao Cao believes!
  The general trend of the world has evolved to the current situation. If they want to achieve what they want, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei need a qualified successor.

Cao Cao has Cao Pi, while Liu Bei only has the young Adou except the fake Liu Feng.

In terms of successor, Cao Cao had too many advantages.

This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao laughed instead of being angry when he heard that Liu Bei had robbed the Three East Counties, because Cao Cao saw Liu Bei's core disadvantage.

Liu Bei is old!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked to the southeast again.

"Gu is not the only one who doesn't want you to be strong."

"No matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stop the changes in the hearts of the people in the city."

"Have you thought about how to deal with your son Sun Zhongmou?"
