Cao Thief

Chapter 796 Tiangang's first sword, Tuogu!

Cao Cao's health has not been very good in the past year.

An epidemic in Jingnan almost wiped out the foundation.Although there are famous doctors like Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, they are only maintained.After the Battle of Jingnan, Cao Cao devoted himself to development, and even worked harder than during the war.

After ascending the throne, there is no need to bother.

After coming and going, the body is getting worse and worse.

When Cao Peng returned to Chang'an, he was left idle and had no chance to meet Cao Cao.But Mrs. Bian often sent people to come to condolences, and every time Cao Peng would intentionally or unintentionally ask about some trivial matters of Cao Cao's life.With less sleep, less food intake, and dealing with official duties until late at night, Cao Cao's physical condition is also clear at a glance.

However, Cao Peng did not expect that Cao Cao would collapse at this juncture.

The battle of Jiangdong is about to begin, and without Cao Cao in charge, it would not be very stable.If something happens to Cao Cao, then the battle of Jiangdong will be temporarily shelved.When the situation stabilizes, start the war again.It's just that in that way, the time and effort required will inevitably be a hundred times more than it is now.Jiangdong experienced a change... Zhou Yu died of illness, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai retired, and the time that Ma Da was in charge of the navy was not enough to control the Jiangdong navy.It can be said that starting a war at this time will benefit Cao Wei a lot.

But rather...

Cao Peng followed the crowd into the hall, and saw Cao Cao lying on the bed, so emaciated that he looked like two people.

"Ah Fu, are you here yet?"

After talking with Xun Yu and others for a while, Cao Cao suddenly asked in a low voice.

Cao Peng hurriedly came up from behind and knelt beside the bed, "I am here."

Seeing Cao Peng, a faint smile flashed across Cao Cao's thin and bloodless face.

This smile looks very familiar.

When meeting Cao Cao for the first time, he greeted Cao Peng with this kind of smile.

Cook wine with green plums, discuss heroes with Cao Peng.

Back then, Cao Cao was full of vigor, with the biggest smile on his face, exuding unspeakable confidence and majesty.

then...

Cao Peng had thought many times what would happen if Cao Cao died.

But when he saw Cao Cao's appearance with his own eyes, he didn't feel happy as he imagined. Instead, he felt very sad, and there was an unspeakable worry.

Is the hero of the whole life going to leave like this?
"His Majesty……"

Cao Peng's voice suddenly choked up.

And Cao Cao waved to him, while Mrs. Bian hurriedly said, "Ah Fu, come closer."

Cao Peng walked a few steps on his knees and put his hands on the bed.

"Ah Fu, do you hate me?"

Cao Cao's big hand rested on Cao Peng's, "You took down Xichuan, but I seized your military power and left you idle. Do you hate me in your heart?"

To be honest, Cao Peng still felt a little resentful.

But at this time, he couldn't feel any resentment, nodded, and shook his head again, "At first there was some resentment, but now it's gone... Your Majesty must have a reason for doing this. Your Majesty's care for Ah Fu, Ah Fu Fu has always been in my heart. Ah Fu is a troublemaker, if it weren't for His Majesty, who would tolerate so many mistakes? Thinking about this, the resentment will disappear...Your Majesty must have plans."

Cao Cao laughed!

He said in a daze, "Secret order..."

Yue Ban hurried forward and handed over the secret edict that he had taken from Cao Peng earlier.

"Ah Fu, open it!"

Cao Peng was a little confused, opening the secret edict in front of so many people?Is that still a secret edict?However, he still opened the secret edict, and saw that there was no secret edict in his imagination, but a golden iron coupon.

Wuhou's lineage does not oppose Yongchang.

It is also rich and honored, and children and grandchildren will keep in mind.

After sixteen characters, there is also a signature: Cao Jili.

Cao Peng saw the words on the iron coupon clearly, and all of a sudden, he had mixed feelings, and tears flowed down his face.

This is the iron coupon to avoid death, and it is also the amulet that Cao Cao gave him.

Cao Cao's love for Cao Peng can be described as extreme.

As long as Cao Peng and his descendants do not rebel, they will prosper forever; even if they rebel, they cannot be killed, and their wealth must be preserved.This is Cao Cao's will, and it is also a rule that the later emperors of Cao Wei must keep in mind.Cao Peng has this iron coupon, which means that Wuhou's line can continue, and he will never have to worry about the fate of extinction.Of course, the premise is that Cao Wei will last forever.

Cao Wei, is it possible to live forever?

Things in this world, Feng Shui turns, how can there be any eternity.

But as long as Cao Wei exists for a day, Cao Peng's lineage doesn't have to worry about dying out.

This is Cao Cao's gift to Cao Peng!
The people on the side couldn't help but look at each other, even jealous.

Even Xun Yu and Guo Jia sighed secretly in his heart: People say that Cao Peng is the illegitimate son of Cao Cao... If he didn't know, I'm afraid even I would believe it.Cao Cao's love for Cao Peng can be described as extreme.

I'm afraid he doesn't even have this much concern for his own son.

With such an iron certificate, Cao Peng is invincible.

"Afomo hates me.

I put you idle because I want to protect you... Your achievements are too high and your prestige is too high.In the battle to capture Xichuan, although you gave up the first victory in Chengdu, I know that if you hadn't planned it early in the morning, how could this battle be so easy?People say that Ziwen is the first achievement, but I understand in my heart that the real first achievement is you, Ah Fu.

But the more this is the case, the more I will idle you and suppress you.

Your contribution is too great, if it reaches the extreme, there is no reward, even if Ziwen is close to you, he will feel jealous.

I didn't want to say this, but I didn't want to leave with Ah Fu's resentment.

Ah Fu, I want you to promise that I will assist Ziwen for the rest of my life, and protect my Cao family forever... Can you agree? "

Cao Peng could no longer speak!
He kowtowed repeatedly by the bed, choked up for a long time and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, Ah Fu will never disappoint Uncle."

"It is better for me to blame others, than for others to blame me...

Easier said than done.Today I want to give you a shackle to prevent you from living so freely. "

As Cao Cao spoke, he suddenly coughed violently.

"Ah Fu, where is the sky?"

"Ah... outside the palace, in the hands of Uncle Jun Ming."

"Bring it!"

The Tianxian sword Cao Cao mentioned was the Tianxian sword he gave to Cao Peng back then, and he ordered the Tianxian sword.

It has become an honor for Cao Ji to make Tiangang's 36 swords.

Most of the time, the owners of these 36 swords will carry them with them.After a while, Dian Wei brought the Tianxian sword and presented it to Cao Cao.Cao Cao lay on the couch and motioned to Cao Peng to help him pull out the sword.

"Glory is my life!"

Cao Cao laughed.

"Back then, when I gave you the leisure time, I hoped that you could live a leisurely life.

But in the end, I'm afraid I still have to trouble Ah Fu and worry about it.That being the case, the name Tianxian is not real... Where is Zijian? "

"My son is here!"

Cao Zhi hurriedly walked out of the crowd upon hearing this, and crawled beside the bed.

"Take it... I'll give it to you when I'm free this day."

"what?"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his face turned pale.

"Be an idler, be happy and unrestrained, make good use of your talent and learning, and stop interfering in those messy things in the future, and be a leisurely king. This one of yours will last forever and get rich."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he handed the Tianxian Sword to Cao Zhi.

This sentence is tantamount to cutting off Cao Zhi's political thoughts.

Cao Zhi hesitated for a while, then took the Tianxian sword tremblingly, "My son, I will live up to my father's expectations..."

In this sentence, there is despair, but also a sense of relief.

Forget it, a happy life is a happy life.

At least I can still sing and have no worries from now on...

"Queen!"

"My concubine is here."

"Bring the Tiangang Sword."

Of the 36 swords of Tiangang, Tiangang sword is the first sword, which has been kept by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao seemed to have nothing to worry about, and he didn't explain any major issues, but just rambled about some trivial things around him.

None of the ministers on the side opened their mouths to stop.

For example, how to dispose of the spices that Cao Cao treasured; for example, where are some clothes placed...

Words like this lasted for a long time.

Finally, Cao Cao picked up the Tiangang Sword, "Ah Fu, I have taken your leisure, so I will give you this Tiangang Sword."

Mrs. Huan's face changed drastically.

Madam Bian showed a faint smile, looked at Cao Peng, and nodded slightly.

Tiangang's first sword!
What kind of sword is this? This is clearly asking Gu.

Cao Peng became the number one member of Cao Cao's tuogu, and the Tiangang sword can command the other 35 swords. That is to say, Cao Peng's power and status are still higher than Xun Yu and others.It is probably at this moment that Cao Cao left Cao Peng idle and suddenly entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.Seeing that Xun Yu and the others looked calm and showed no signs of dissatisfaction, it also showed that Cao Cao's arrangement had already been approved by everyone.

Cao Peng was also dumbfounded!
An hour ago, he was still happy and carefree.

But now...

Cao Peng took a deep breath, took the Tiangang Sword from Cao Cao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, glory is my life!"

He is assuring Cao Cao that he will be loyal to the Cao family in this life.

After chatting for a while, Cao Cao was tired...

"Let's all go down, Ah Fu and the queen stay."

Xun Yu and other ministers, Mrs. Huan and a group of heirs slowly withdrew from Zichen Pavilion.

No matter what dissatisfaction they have in their hearts, Cao Cao's decision has been made, and holding the Tiangang sword is equivalent to holding the power of life and death, and no one can change it.

"I will leave this list to you!"

Cao Cao handed Cao Peng a list, "The people on the list must not stay."

Opening the list, Cao Peng glanced at ten lines.

He was shocked to see the name of Yueqi Captain Chen Shi on the list... Chen Shi is Cao Peng's partner in Zhongyang Town.It's just the Cao Peng who died long ago, not the current Cao Peng.

Later Cao Peng reunited with Chen Shi in Zhongyang Town and promoted him.

But he soon discovered that Chen Shi could not be reused.But because of that youthful friendship, Cao Peng sent him to Xudu, and he hasn't been in touch since then.Unexpectedly, this Chen Shi became the Captain of Yueqi.

Looking at Cao Cao in doubt, Cao Cao closed his eyes.

Madam Bian made a 'five' gesture.Cao Peng immediately realized that Chen Shi had taken refuge in Cao Chong.If this is not the case, it is not enough to explain why he achieved this position.Cao Cao wanted to remove all obstacles for Cao Zhang and forcibly strangle all unstable factors to death in his infancy.

"Ah Fu, talk to me.

If you don't want to read books... just read the [-]-character essay and the Three-Character Classic you wrote. "

Cao Cao murmured to himself, but Cao Peng responded with tears.

Mrs. Bian brought the [-]-character text and the Three-Character Classic, and Cao Peng sat by the bed and recited each word for Cao Cao.

But as he was reading, he suddenly heard Mrs. Bian mournfully: "Your Majesty!"

In an instant, Cao Peng's tears flowed silently...

Cao Cao, let's go!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Xinglong, Cao Cao died.

His death was eight years earlier than in history, at the age of 57...

History books call Cao Cao the ancestor of Wu and the name of Taizu Wei.

On the night of Cao Cao's death, Cao Peng suddenly became anxious for Changshui Captain Sha Moke, Infantry Captain Wang Ping, and Shesheng Captain Guo Huai, plus his White Camel Soldiers and Flying Camel Soldiers outside Chang'an, a total of 7000 people , Forcibly broke into the Yueqi battalion stationed in the suburbs, beheaded Chen Shi, the captain of the Yueqi school, and killed sixteen officers.

Afterwards, Xun Yu ordered that the whole city be banned at night.

According to Cao Cao's list, Cao Peng came to each door one by one.

In one night, a total of more than [-] ministers of the DPRK and China were thrown into prison for conspiracy to rebel.

And the first one on the list is the Shanyang Gong Liu Xie who was placed in Luoyang.After Cao Peng took the rest of the ministers, he rushed to Luoyang the next day and made Liu Xie drink poison to death.In fact, it is impossible for Liu Xie to conspire to rebel. He has no soldiers, no generals, and no one available, so there is no possibility of rebellion.

However, Liu Xie had to die!
Cao Cao used such a method to cut off Cao Peng's hope of becoming the throne, and at the same time established Cao Peng's No.1 status in the court.

The death of Liu Xie caused an uproar in the world!

Although Cao Cao died, but after Cao Cao, another country thief appeared.

Countless people, countless people who still have nostalgia for the Han Dynasty in their hearts, all denounced Cao Peng as a "Cao thief".And after Sun Quan cursed Cao Peng as a national traitor, he proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang and changed his year name to Huanglong... According to legend, the appearance of a yellow dragon in Poyang Lake was a sign of Sun Quan's proclaiming emperor.After Sun Quan came to the throne, he made his father Sun Jian Emperor Wulie.But when Sun Ce was canonized, he was only given the title of Changsha Hengwang.

This also made many people secretly dissatisfied.

In many people's minds, Sun Ce deserved the title of emperor, because the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River were the lands and mountains that Sun Ce conquered.Sun Quan's doing this was clearly a humiliation to Sun Ce.At the same time, Jiangdong began to spread that the death of Sun Ce was planned by Sun Quan... Evidence?Let's look at the fact that Sun Shao's mother and son were forced to leave Jiangdong to avoid Sun Quan's persecution. This is the most obvious evidence...

However, for Chang'an, what Sun Quan did was not very important.

After Cao Peng returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, he joined forces with Xun Yu and others to welcome Cao Zhang back to the throne.

While Cao Zhang was still on the road, Cao Peng delivered another letter to Xun Yu.The letter was written by Cao Chong and Chen Shi, the captain of Yueqi.In the letter, Cao Chong ordered Chen Shi to prepare for an uprising on the day of Cao Cao's death and control Chang'an.However, Cao Chong didn't expect that Cao Cao's death was sudden and he was heavily guarded.

Before he could issue the order, Cao Peng had already beheaded Chen Shi.

Is this letter true or false?

It is no longer important!

Chen Shi is already dead...

After Xun Yu received the letter, he immediately ordered Cao Chong to be taken down, put him under house arrest, not to have contact with others, and waited for Cao Zhang to return to deal with him.

Cao Cao's death had a great impact.

However, under the joint disposal of Cao Peng, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, the entire Central Plains passed through almost calmly.

In mid-February of the second year of Xinglong, Cao Zhang, who heard the news in Jingnan and rushed back to Chang'an day and night, ascended the throne with the support of Cao Peng, Xunyu and other officials.

With Cao Zhang's ascension to the throne, the unification of the world is imminent.

The battle of Jiangdong will also kick off!
