The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422

Animals will fight for the leader position in the group, and father and son will kill each other, and humans cannot escape, so relatively speaking, humans still have a bit of animal nature.

Suddenly a shining dagger appeared in Cao Pi's hand, and it directly plunged into Cao Cao's abdomen.

The bright red blood flowed down Cao Pi's wrist to his white lining, red and white, very visually striking.

Cao Cao immediately grabbed Cao Pi's wrist to prevent him from pushing the dagger any further. At the same time, he shouted angrily, "Nizi! You really don't repent!"

Cao Pi took off his mask as soon as the matter was exposed, and said with a ferocious face: "Why!? Why can't I inherit the throne as the eldest son? Father, you have always favored the third brother, just because the third brother is good at writing and has a good personality. Just like you, but what about me? I try to do better every day, just to win your favor, but what about you? You don’t even look at me! Could it be that the third brother is your son, am I not? "

Looking at Cao Pi's ferocious face due to excitement, Cao Cao suddenly felt a little less interested, and at the same time showed a relieved expression and said: "Do you know why I have never looked at you? Because I have always felt that You are not as good as your third brother, you are too good at disguising, and your thoughts are too deep! In fact, over the years, I have also thought about establishing the virtuous but not the elders, but later Feng Xiao said that the elders and the younger are orderly, and if you do not establish the elders, it will be There will be troubles, so I have made a plan to make you the prince's son."

"What!?" Cao Pi opened his eyes and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.

"Haha, originally I made a plan to deal with Meng Ren. I wanted to capture him and announce the news. Now I can only rely on you." Cao Cao said with a calm smile, "But I think you are not as good as him!"

"Father!" Cao Pi was about to burst into tears. Cao Cao's words made him run away completely. He turned his wrist vigorously and stirred it directly. Cao Cao's face showed a painful look, and a trace of black blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Hey!
At the last moment, Cao Cao just let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

Cao Pi pulled out the dagger with red eyes, and continued to stab Cao Cao's abdomen vigorously. He didn't wake up until the cool blood in Cao Cao's body splashed on Cao Pi's face, but at this time Cao Cao's abdominal cavity was already blurred. .

Cao Pi fell powerlessly to the ground, and the door was knocked open not long after.

The people who came in were all covered with black cloth, holding ring knives or long swords, and there was a smell of blood wafting from outside.

As soon as Cao Pi saw them, he immediately regained his senses, and asked after tidying up his clothes, "Have you taken care of everything outside?"

The masked man at the head replied: "Don't worry, King Wei, everything is already healed."

The group of masked men knelt on one knee and shouted loudly, "Greetings to King Wei."

After Cao Pi handed the dagger to the masked man, he asked, "Do you know what your master told you?"

"Well, we know how to do it." After the leading masked man finished speaking, he directly wiped his neck with the saber at his waist, and his action was like a fuse. He hesitated and wiped his neck.

"Haha, once you succeed, you will be exhausted!" Cao Pi laughed like crazy: "Father, you are too timid to call yourself emperor all your life, but I can do things you can't do!"

The corpses on the ground were bloody, and Cao Cao's corpse was lying on the ground weakly, and there seemed to be a trace of mockery in the corner of his eyes.

There was only one Cao Pi laughing up to the sky in the pile of corpses, his laughter was as astonishing as a night owl.

Three days after Cao Pi killed his father, Dongfang Sheng learned of Cao Cao's death through the scout camp arranged in Xudu, but the official statement was that the old disease relapsed and died.

However, Dongfang Sheng who heard the news was skeptical about this statement.

Because Dongfang Sheng had met Cao Cao before that, although Cao Cao suffered from occasional headaches, it would definitely be fine for another year or two.

The more important thing is that only Cao Pi was present when Cao Cao died. Cao Pi claimed that Cao Cao had already made him his son, so after Cao Cao died, Cao Pi took over smoothly.

And the most important thing is that the Yingchuan gentry, who originally planned to cooperate with Dongfang Sheng, suddenly fell silent. At the same time, some other gentry who were originally insignificant suddenly began to unite and persuade Emperor Xian to abdicate.

At the same time, some influential officials from noble clans in the imperial court also began to force the palace to persuade Xiandi, and the whole of Xu was filled with a frenzy of persuasion.

From this situation, Dongfang Sheng became more suspicious of the cause of Cao Cao's death, but at this time Dongfang Sheng didn't have much time to think about other things, because several states under his rule had problems one after another.

Especially in the newly occupied Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and according to the feedback from the guards of these states, Dongfang Sheng knew that the instigator of this turmoil turned out to be the dead Captain Sili under Cao Cao's command.

In the process of Cao Cao's southern and northern wars, he once established two organizations that are familiar to later generations, one is Mojin Xiaowei, and the other is Sili Xiaowei.

What is Captain Mojin? It is an organization that collects property and expands military expenses for Cao Cao. However, with the stability of Cao Cao's territory and the improvement of economic capabilities, Cao Cao will also hide Captain Mojin behind the scenes. Things are by no means a glorious thing, and digging people's ancestral graves has been the most vicious revenge in the past dynasties in China.

The Sili captain is a full-time spy on military intelligence and various instigating activities in enemy-occupied areas, which is exactly the same as Dongfang Sheng's scout battalion, but Cao Cao started earlier than Dongfang Sheng, and his strength is naturally superior.

And the turmoil this time was not just as simple as it seemed on the surface, because after two months, Dongfang Sheng suddenly discovered that the situation had reached the point where it was out of control.

Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Sizhou had large-scale rebellions one after another. At the same time, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Bohai County also appeared together. Even Youzhou, where Dongfang Sheng was seated, was no exception.

Such a large-scale rebellion is not only very powerful, but also difficult to deal with.

Because this is not a small-scale turmoil, every turmoil in the state has a feeling that if it is not stopped, it will be occupied by the rebels, and Dongfang Sheng has lost control of Jiaozhou and Jiangdong.

As for Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Bohai County and Youzhou, because of Dongfang Sheng's business connections, although the rebellion was fierce, they were all suppressed by Dongfang Sheng with bloody means.

However, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou are very dangerous. Even though Yizhou was Dongfang Sheng's former base camp, the rebellion was more violent than any other prefecture. This was unexpected by Dongfang Sheng.
