The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 431 Cao Cao's true intention
"It's better for me to betray the world than for the world to defeat me..."

Muttering in his mouth, this is the evaluation of Cao Cao in history, but in this life, he has personally seen Cao Cao, met Cao Cao, defeated Cao Cao, but Wei Tao did not feel that Cao Cao would be such a person at all.

At least, if Cao Cao is really such a person, then the previous battle would not have happened, but now, Wei Tao doesn't know what Cao Cao wants.

"Brother Mengde, what will happen in the end..."

The night was quiet, but Cao Cao did not review official documents in the mansion as in the past, but went to the palace to see the emperor Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie said he was the Son of Heaven, he was actually just a luxurious prisoner. Hearing Cao Cao's request to see him, he naturally dared not see him.

"I don't know if the prime minister is so late or what's the matter..."

Liu Xie forced a smile, although Cao Cao never regarded the imperial palace as his back garden like Dong Zhuo and others, but when facing Cao Cao, Liu Xie was still flustered and did not dare to be a bit tough.

"Cao Mengde has met His Majesty. Does Your Majesty know that the world is now at a time of great conflict, and not long ago, after the battle between the minister and the Emperor Liang Chao, he was even more defeated."

Cao Cao was not as polite as before with Liu Xie, and just straight to the point.

"If the minister is defeated, the great man will be in danger!"

"This...how can this be good..."

Liu Xie had no power at all, let alone military power. When Cao Cao said this, he immediately became flustered and muttered for a long time, but he didn't say anything substantive.

"At the beginning of this battle, the old man was really fighting against Wei Tao, but after losing the battle, the old man just wanted to see what Wei Tao could do, and even for this reason, the old man did not hesitate to use Sima Zhongda's poisonous plan to fight against Wei Tao. The old man's elite are sharp and let them compete with Wei Tao."

Cao Cao ignored Liu Xie at all, and said to himself.

"Things are exactly as I expected. The fate is on Wei Tao. Even if it is a poisonous plan, it did not really hurt Wei Tao, but let him win completely. Our army was also defeated because of this, and there was no chance of recovery. "

"Meng De...do you want to say something?"

What Cao Cao said made Liu Xie very confused. He couldn't understand what Cao Cao meant, so he hesitated for a while before asking.

"Could it be that Mengde really wants to surrender..."

Liu Xie didn't finish his words, but both of them understood.

"Hahahaha... I would rather let the world down than let the world down on me! People in the world often say that I, Cao Cao, are the heroes of the world! In the past, Xu Zijiang even said, 'Zi is a capable minister who governs the world, and a hero in troubled times', I really don’t know that I, Cao Cao, only want to be Jianwei and Huo Zhigong again!”

But at this time, Cao Cao burst into laughter. Seeing Cao Cao like this, Liu Xie felt a chill in his heart for some reason, especially when he heard the words "I would rather bear the world than the world", This is especially true.

"After all, there are people in the world who will continue to build this achievement, and even surpass it. Wei Tao's strategy may not say that it can eliminate border troubles forever, but as long as this strategy remains unchanged, then even if there is a foreign enemy, it is absolutely impossible to truly threaten it. The land of the Central Plains! This is the strategy of all ages, and I, Cao Mengde, admire it very much. I am not as good as it!"

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Liu Xie was even more shocked, not knowing how to deal with it, and finally said with a miserable smile.

"Meng De, what's your intention?"

"Your Majesty, please abdicate."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie and said calmly, but what he said made Liu Xie speechless in shock.

"Ziyu is wise and powerful, and can guarantee that our Han family will not be harmed by foreign enemies and will last forever, but after all, he was once a courtier of the Han Dynasty. If he turned against the Han Dynasty, it will naturally be stained. It will be improper to order the world in the future. Anyway, I, Cao Mengde, have always been called a hero, a traitor, and a national thief, so it is not unusual for me to seek to usurp the throne."

"You... what did you say!"

Although Liu Xie was transposed several times, it has to be said that at least when he was in Xuchang, Cao Cao treated him well, and even entrusted him with power several times.

Although the hope is very slim, it is not that Liu Xie did not have a dream. When Cao Cao died and Cao Zhi took over, he might have the opportunity to regain the power of the big man bit by bit.

Liu Xie has also met Cao Zhi, and knows that his literary talent is indeed extremely high, but compared with Cao Cao, he is extremely naive politically.

But this is also under the circumstance that Cao Cao has never been a rebel.

"This is for the world."

Cao Cao had obviously made plans a long time ago, but he didn't care when he saw Liu Xie was so surprised, he still spoke slowly.

"I know that I am sorry for your Majesty, and I have failed many people's expectations, but since I, Cao Cao, cannot personally obtain a peaceful environment for the world, then I have no choice but to let others obtain it for me. That's it. For one thing, the Son of Heaven above the history is not tainted with stigma, but he just puts his mind on dealing with that foreign race."

"This...this...is it impossible for you to force me like this? Could it be...could it be..."

Liu Xie was very afraid. In fact, after Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Li Cui and others did this, the emperor who had surrendered to Xingchan was about to die for no reason.

Especially Liu Xie, if Wei Tao, Cao Cao and others hadn't attacked in time, Liu Xie might have died long ago.

So when facing Cao Cao, Liu Xie was especially weak.

"After His Majesty abdicates, I will make His Majesty the King of Chenliu. And rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter what, I will guarantee the continuation of the blood of the Han Dynasty, and without the danger of the throne, Ziyu will not persecute the blood of the Han Dynasty. On the contrary You will raise it with a noble position, after all, it is also the legacy of the previous dynasty, isn't it?"

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Liu Xie's begging for mercy at all, and just spoke directly, and even revealed his treatment of Liu Xie in his words.

"I'm not here today to discuss with His Majesty, but to speak to Your Majesty about this matter. As for the name of regicide, I, Cao Cao, have nothing to care about."

"Bastard! Come on! Come on!"

Under repeated persecution by Cao Cao, Liu Xie finally couldn't hold back his long body and stood up, shouting loudly.

Liu Xie naturally didn't dare to attack Cao Cao personally, no matter what, Cao Cao was half his life as a soldier, and Liu Xie couldn't splatter ten steps with blood at all.

But amidst the frantic shouts, it seemed as if there was no one outside the hall, and no one responded at all.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to shout. People inside and outside the palace are already under the control of the minister. In fact, the minister has also thought about returning the power to the Han Dynasty after unifying the world and making the world peaceful. Maybe it is not Your Majesty, but His Majesty's son. But unfortunately, the minister is incompetent, and it is impossible to unify the world after all."

Cao Cao turned a blind eye to Liu Xie's madness, but said slowly, this is to express all the words accumulated in his heart.

"But later I figured it out. No matter which family is the master of the world, the Liu family, the Cao family, and the Wei family, they are still part of our Han nation. Although they cannot unify the world by themselves, they cannot expel and subdue foreigners. , It really made Cao Cao feel a little regretful, but now, I have let go."

"Enough! You traitor! What are you talking about here!"

Liu Xie didn't want to talk to Cao Cao anymore, and he didn't even want to listen to what he had to say.

"Hehe... That's right, I came here tonight because I want to express my thoughts. After all, I am in this position and I want to find someone to talk to. Apart from Ziyu, I am afraid that His Majesty is the only one left. "

Cao Cao stood up with a smile. After finishing his speech, he ignored Liu Xie and went out of the hall.

When he was inside the palace, Cao Cao was still hesitant and arrogant from time to time, but after Cao Cao went out of the palace, he had already recovered to be the prime minister of the big Han with power over the world.

"Come on!"

Following Cao Cao's order, all the soldiers who were guarding outside the hall immediately stood still.

Just like what Cao Cao said, since he was ready to do this, everyone inside and outside the palace had already made full preparations, and he already had the entire palace in his hands.

"Give me an order, everyone protect His Majesty, wash and change clothes for him, if there is any disrespect, if something happens, don't blame the old man for being unpredictable!"

"promise!"

These days, Cao Cao has also beheaded many people, and naturally no one dared not listen to his call at this time.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao summoned all his counselors and military commanders, and then said directly with a raised hand.

"Your Majesty has lost his morals today, and feels that it is difficult for him to bear the heavy responsibility of governing the world, so he invited me into the palace last night, saying that it was Yuchan who gave up the emperor to me."

"what!"

Hearing this, even those extremely reckless generals were all stunned on the spot, uttering surprise.

Anyone can think that the so-called His Majesty's explicit words are better said by Cao Cao himself.

We must know that when Wei Tao proclaimed the emperor, he also implied that he was acting under his command, and after three resignations and three concessions, he finally accepted the throne to ascend the throne.

However, Cao Cao's actions seemed to be taken directly from Liu Xie's hands, which is naturally no small matter.

"My lord must not!"

Some people who were still loyal to the big man, such as Xun Yu, immediately stood up and shouted loudly. Although most of them were civil servants, their momentum was not small.

"This is no different from the treason of the country. If it is spread, the people of the world will feel ashamed of it. It is absolutely unacceptable!"

"What's wrong! The emperor is incompetent, causing the country to be lost. In this world, only the lord can take this position! We ask the lord to ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

But contrary to those civil servants, many military generals were rioting one after another. For these people, they supported Cao Cao the most, and naturally hoped that Cao Cao would be willing to become emperor.

Of course, there are also many people who are silent at this time, and they can be regarded as neutral.

It's just that since Cao Cao has made a decision, how could he intend to change it, but he stared at Xun Yu and the others, and asked directly.

"Wen Ruo, don't you agree?"
