Great Wei Nengchen

For the sake of safety, the Prime Minister's Mansion issued an imperial edict to dispatch [-] heavy troops from Hebei to the south to strengthen the defenses near Xuchang and Luoyang, and imposed martial law, closing the city gates and prohibiting passage!

In fact, Xuchang's defenses are strong, with more than 15 troops stationed inside and outside, and they are all elites who have experienced many battles. They are not afraid of Jingzhou's enemy going north. The real concern inside and outside the court is the life and death of one person-Cao Cao!

Because of his serious illness, Cao Cao has not been in court for almost a year, nor has he appeared in public.

There are even rumors that Cao Cao has died of illness, and the people in the prime minister's mansion kept the funeral secret, and used ice to freeze the body, trying to deceive the world!

The rumors became more and more true, and people's hearts became more and more chaotic. Since the "Ten Chang Shi" rebellion, the Han Dynasty has collapsed, the princes have risen together, and the wars have continued in all directions. Like the walking dead!

Fortunately, Cao Cao raised his troops to calm down the difficulties. For more than ten years, he fought south and north and fought in the east and killed in the west. He pacified all the princes and ended the war in the Central Plains. Life is peaceful, even better than before!

Now that the war has not completely subsided, once Cao Cao dies, who will calm down the princes inside, suppress the barbarians outside, and keep the world peaceful?

Once Cao Cao rides a crane to the west, who can take charge of the big plan to ensure that the court will not be torn apart and the world will no longer fall into melee?

Civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc. were all worried, and then prayed for the blessing of the gods. The world can have no emperor, but the prime minister!

Of course, there are also people who are very happy, hoping that Cao Cao will die sooner, or that he is already dead. Otherwise, you are looking for a dead end.

Only a very few people know that Cao Cao is not dead, but it will be soon!

……

In the back hall of the prime minister's mansion and the walls on both sides of the bedroom, there are burning charcoal braziers and huge kang openings, and firewood is added continuously at twelve hours a day, so it is cold outside, but it is cold inside. It's hot like summer, and ordinary people are still sweating profusely in unlined clothes!

Cao Cao was lying on the kang, covered with a thick tiger skin blanket, but there was no sweat on his face. His already short body became even more dry and fleshless, like a skeleton.

Looking at the face again, the cheeks are sunken, black and purple, full of death, only a pair of slender eyes, shining light from time to time, proving that he is still a living person!

"Master Prime Minister, it's time to take the decoction!"

"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble of the two genius doctors!"

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing came out from the side room. The former held a dark black medicinal soup, exuding a strong bitter taste. An attendant took it with both hands. He swallowed two small mouthfuls at first, and then felt that his body was fine. Then he took a spoonful of it Hey Cao Cao!

The latter stretched out three fingers and put them on Cao Cao's Cunguan ruler. After checking his pulse for a while, he took out a few silver needles and pierced several acupuncture points in the brain, helping to push the uterus and activate blood circulation!

As early as half a year ago, the two genius doctors lived in the Xiangfu, guarding Cao Cao day and night, cooking soup and medicine for him, treating him meticulously, ginseng, velvet antler, tiger bone, sealwort... all kinds of precious medicinal materials used countless, folk prescriptions, Secret recipes and ancient recipes have also been tested.

But Cao Cao took too much medicine of tiger and wolf, and his body was too weak. Even if the two genius doctors tried their best, they couldn't restore his condition, they could only delay it as much as possible.

Especially since the beginning of autumn, Cao Cao's condition has become more serious. His body is completely paralyzed, and he can't move his little finger.

If ordinary people were sick like this, they would have died long ago, but Cao Cao's vitality was extremely tenacious. He even survived for several months, but he still showed no signs of dying.

But a dead lamp, no matter how hard it struggles, cannot escape the fate of being extinguished!

"Dare to ask the two genius doctors, how long is this old man?"

"This is related to the country, the country, and the safety of the world. I hope I can tell the truth!"

Every time after taking the medicine, Cao Cao would ask how much life he had left. People are greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if they know that they are going to die, they hope to live one more day, one more hour!

But every time they asked questions, the two genius doctors would reply: "Your Majesty is protected by the gods, as long as you rest in peace, you will surely prolong your life." Although it is a comforting word, it proves that the end is not over yet!

But this time, the two genius doctors were silent, looked at each other again, sighed and lowered their heads, Hua Tuo stretched out a finger, shook it imperceptibly, and quickly put it back in his sleeve.

In a month's time, even if the two genius doctors tried their best, they could only last for a month. The path of the villain has come to an end!

"Good! - Good! - Good!"

Knowing that his time was approaching, Cao Cao's face twitched a few times, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he quickly regained his spirits, and even squeezed out a few smiles. The key to life is not long, but exciting!

At the age of 20, I was Xiaolian, and was appointed as a captain in the north of Luoyang. After taking office, I declared the prohibition and strict laws and regulations. I made more than ten five-color sticks and hung them around the yamen. Anyone who violated the ban was killed with a stick.

At the age of 30, he became a captain of cavalry. He led the army to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan.

At the age of 40, Jiaozhao raised an army, gathered the [-] princes, crusaded Dong Zhuo, the traitor who brought disaster to the country, and invaded Luoyang City in one fell swoop. Although the coalition forces failed later, he was lucky enough to meet Xiao Yi, and created a new world in Yanzhou!

At the age of 50, he became the prime minister, commanding the division of tigers and wolves, and fought Yuan Benchu ​​at Guandu. He made a lot of tricks, won more with less, defeated hundreds of thousands of Yuan's troops, and wiped out the land of Hebei in one fell swoop.

Now that I am 60 years old, as Prime Minister of Han Dynasty and King of Great Wei, under one person, above ten thousand, life has been wonderful so far, although there are still many regrets, but one month is enough to arrange my own funeral!

"The two gentlemen are very fortunate, where is Zhongkang, see off the guest for the old man!"

"promise!"

Xu Chu is Cao Cao's chief guard and also Cao Cao's shadow. The tacit understanding between the two is very high, and they have reached the point where they have a tacit understanding. A look is worth a thousand words!

Xu Chu clasped his fists and said yes, first sent out the two genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and then took away the attendant who tasted the medicine, who soon disappeared forever.

Those who can taste the decoction for Cao Cao must be loyal, smart, and not talkative people!

When Hua Tuo stretched out his finger just now, the attendant stood with his head bowed and his eyes fixed. He might not have really seen anything, and even if he had seen it, he might not have dared to say it!

But Cao Cao didn't dare to take risks, not even a single bit. His own life and death are not a matter of one person, but of the country, the country, and the people of the world. He must strictly seal the news and prevent any hidden dangers!

Even if it was a wrong killing, killing an innocent person, killing a loyal person, he must be killed!

Even Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the genius doctors who have pulled themselves back from the gate of hell many times, would be dead at this moment if they hadn't been useful to them!

Whether it is ungrateful or ruthless, Cao Cao doesn't care about people anymore. He has killed countless people in his life. Now that his life is over, he doesn't mind killing a few more people!

It's a pity that the person I want to kill the most can't be killed, I don't want to kill, and I don't dare to kill!

"My child sees my father - be healthy and live a long life!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you father!"

Xu Chu came back soon, holding a blood-dripping sword, standing straight beside the kang, followed by a person, it was the son of Prince Wei - Cao Pi, holding many memorials in his arms!

Cao Cao was paralyzed, unable to review the memorials anymore, and unwilling to let go of his power, so he thought of a compromise, asking Cao Pi to read the memorials every day and give instructions on his behalf, but the decision-making power was still firmly in Cao Cao's hands, or Say it with your tongue!

"Report to the King Father: Mr. Zhong De came to the memorial and said that he had arrived in Hanzhong County, rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and inspected them on behalf of the King Father.

However, Mr. Zhong De went around everywhere, but there was no sign of Da Sima, nor Nanzheng City, Xiameng Pass, and Jianmen Pass. Mr. Zhong De didn't know what to do, so he had to ask his father's order? "

Sitting on the soft couch, Cao Pi opened the first memorial, which was sent by Cheng Yu from Hanzhong. The old man wandered around a lot, but he didn't see Xiao Yi, so he had to report the truth!

Cheng Yu is also a smart person, knowing that Xiao Yi intends to avoid seeing him, even if he digs three feet, he still can't find him, so why not save some effort!

Cao Cao is even smarter, knowing that his plan of 'turning the tiger back to the mountain' has failed, Xiao Yi is obviously unwilling to submit obediently, but wants to hold a heavy army and wait and see the situation, his ambition can be imagined!

So what can it do, Xiao Yi is full-fledged, and already has the ability to stand up to others. In his heyday, he could barely suppress him, but now he is in his dying years... Sigh!

"Got it, let's read the next thing!"
