I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

The cold words came from Cao Cao's mouth.

He was really angry... angry when he lost his composure.

At this time, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, the four advisors... all fell to the ground.

"Duke Wei, please calm down... Originally, the eldest son rushed to Xuchang, we only thought he was going to rest for a few days along the way.

It wasn't until the military newspaper early this morning that it was mentioned that he was going to build an altar and pray for rain..."

Xun Yu said.

What he said was true.

It was early in the morning that the four of them learned that Cao Xiong was setting up an altar to pray for rain from the military report from the front line...

I planned to write a letter to dissuade him, but before I had time, the second son Cao Pi had already told Cao Cao about the matter in detail.

"Lin'er won't have the guts, Xiong'er must have instructed this matter."

Cao Cao, who had calmed down, was determined.

"He is Cao Xiong! He is the son of my Cao Cao, Cao Xiong, the eldest son of Great Wei! Others are ignorant and ignorant, trying to ask for rain is fine, he...he..."

At the end of a sentence, it is already as thin as a gossamer.

Everyone can see that because of this incident, Cao Cao is very disappointed with Cao Xiong... quite disappointed.

Believe in demons and goblins, believe in the rain from the Dragon King, etc... The ignorant common people are nothing more than the son of the Great Wei, the future ruler of the Great Wei?How can the mind be so immature?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao hated that iron could not be made into steel, was chilled and disappointed.

in fact.

As Wei Shizi... looking forward to the rain in the old days, saving the people from the drought, and dispelling all the rumors and slander, Cao Cao can understand such a mood.

The point is, the matter of asking for rain itself.

Throughout history, it is recorded in local chronicles that the ancients prayed to the sky for rain, which was a common occurrence.

The most important thing is that you can't ask for it once a hundred times!

What if you can't ask for rain?Doesn't it prove that the rumors about you Cao Xiong in the market are all true? Doesn't it mean that you Cao Xiong are angry and resentful...

...It's really deadly!

At that time, how will Cao Cao explain to Wanmin?How to explain to the people?

In addition to abolishing Cao Xiong's position as the eldest son and lifting the confinement of Emperor Liu Xie?Does he have a choice?

We can't let the Yellow Turban Uprising really happen on the land of Wei Wu, can we?

Nonsense!It's just nonsense.

"Wei Gong, in my opinion, send a reliable general to stop the prince right now! If Cao Xiong obeys Wei Gong's orders, that's all. If he doesn't listen, he will be captured right away." Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, Youyou said: "Before a catastrophe happens, kill it in the cradle, at all costs!"

The reason why he said here is at all costs is because of the Xuanjia soldiers.

You send a general with some soldiers, maybe you can really tie Cao Xiong.

but…

Will Xuanjia soldiers agree?Will Cao Xiong's generals agree?

Unevenness is a game, cannibalism...

Of course, in Jia Xu's view, as long as Cao Xiong can be stopped... even if it is killing each other, he will not hesitate...

After all, this is good for Cao Xiong!

His boy, if he really wants to go on stage to pray for rain, the position of son of the world does not belong to Cao Xiong anymore.

"Yes, yes!" Cao Cao answered two "yes" in a row.

Then he frowned. "Marquis of Guannei."

"Here!" Xu Chu cupped his hands.

"Pass me a secret order to order Cao Ying, who is in charge of conquering the bandits in the Central Plains, to lead tiger and leopard riders to Xuchang to control Cao Xiong!"

"Uh..." When the word "control" was mentioned, Xu Chu was slightly taken aback...

"The so-called control!" Seeing his doubts, Cao Cao added, "It's all about bringing him back to Yecheng! As long as he can do this, Cao Ying will be the master!"

"Here..." Xu Chu immediately agreed, and went to arrange a quick report...

By this time, it was already the first day of August.

……

……

Chapter 1243 The first day of August!Everything is ready!

In the south of Xuchang City, these days, the altar has been built. In terms of height, it is more than ten meters high, quite majestic and majestic.

Ma Jun's errands are doing well.

According to Cao Xiong's thoughts.

The reason why it is necessary to build such a large altar is to create momentum.

Let the whole city, the whole of Wei, and even the whole world know that Cao Xiong and Cao Lin are praying for rain...

The second is to create a sense of ritual...

It is even more compelling to ask for rain on such a high altar.

The location of the altar was randomly determined by Cao Xiong based on his calculations. The main reason is to have beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.

Of course, under this huge high platform, some sacrifices of pigs and sheep are indispensable.

Some live, some marinated...

This point was kindly provided by the First World Building in Xuchang City.

If it really rains, it can be regarded as a resounding advertisement for the first floor of the world.

In this day and age, there should still be a little bit of soft advertising.

Cao Xiong is obviously well versed in this.

Different from Cao Xiong, he cooks sheep and butchers, and also has a high interest in looking far ahead.

His brother Cao Lin... almost crying...

From agreeing to go to the stage to pray for rain, to the completion of the altar.

His mental journey is becoming more and more complicated day by day...

He even persuaded Cao Xiong eight or nine times in a row, asking him to give up... Unfortunately, even if the torch turned into ashes and started to dry up with tears... Cao Xiong was still unmoved.

At this time, Cao Xiong looked at the high platform, it was indeed high enough.

There is still such a slight worry in my heart about Cao Lin... Don't be a child, if you stumble and fall... This is a cool song.

Of course, when looking up at the high platform, everyone can notice...the sun is shining brightly, and the sky can't wait for another sun to emerge.

Don't talk about rain?

Even water?It is estimated that it will evaporate in an instant...

Seeing this scene, Cao Lin felt even more hopeless...

The altar prays for rain!

Does this mean it's going to rain?This is simply to put him under the altar... drying human flesh jerky!

"Brother Cao Lin, do you want to go up early to experience the feeling?" Cao Xiong asked. "In order not to be at a loss on the day of praying for rain...I'm getting nervous."

"Uh..." Cao Lin was at a loss for words...and a little timid, "Fifth Brother, don't worry about being nervous, but what I'm most worried about...is...I can't ask for rain!"

When he said this, Cao Lin's eyes were narrowed, tears were about to flow out...

hey-hey…

Cao Xiong smiled slightly, and stroked his forehead gently. "Just stand up and sit in the middle! Chanting scriptures... or meditating, or reciting the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Hmm... chanting scriptures?meditation?Four Books and Five Classics?

If so, can we pray for rain?Just go to Luoyang Baima Temple to invite a group of monks, and then go to the school to find a bunch of well-educated scholars... How can the drought last for so long?

"Oh..." Cao Lin sighed helplessly, "Everyone advised me not to go."

The people he is talking about here are of course Sima Yi, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu, Sun Shangxiang...

After all, this matter... as long as it is done, as long as it doesn't rain.

That would be of no benefit to Cao Xiong or Cao Lin.

For their persuasion... Cao Xiong is also understandable.

It's just... If it really didn't rain, he would be very decisive to sacrifice Li Shimin to heaven.

"They don't understand!" Cao Xiong persuaded with a pleasant face, and then patted him on the shoulder. "Do you trust your fifth brother? Or trust them..."

……

……

Chapter 1244 The Way of Rescue

"Of course it's the fifth brother."

"This is terrible." Cao Xiong smiled lightly. "Your fifth brother has already notified the Dragon King... On the third day of August, there will be three days of heavy rain!"

Uh... Cao Lin was helpless.

He really didn't know where Brother Cao Xiong got his confidence?

However, this thief ship has already boarded, and there is no chance...to disembark.

……

Not far from the altar, Sima Yi looked nervous, and he looked at the high platform with a different gaze.

Xu Yi and Dianman stood beside him.

They are simple-minded, but they don't have that much... On the contrary, they seem to be in a very happy mood.

"The two generals... I think..." Sima Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know a little about astronomy, and judging by the weather... I'm afraid the prince will not be able to ask for the rain."

Having said this, Sima Yi paused. "If you really can't ask for it... something big will happen!"

"Zhongda! What's the big deal?" Xu Yi asked.

"Our fifth son, I'm afraid he will lose his position as the eldest son!" Sima Yi's words were quite cautious, but he didn't make alarmist words...

Based on this incident, Cao Cao will really remove Cao Xiong's position as the son of the world in order to give Wei an explanation, and if he does not keep it intact.

"Is it so serious? What should we do?" Dianman and Xu Yi said in unison, and their expressions became serious in an instant.

"That's the only way!" Sima Yi patted both of them on the shoulders. "If you really didn't ask for rain, the two of you should immediately find one person from the army and execute the Fa on the spot!"

"When the time comes, let's say that this person has bewitched the prince and Mr. Cao Lin! Then, I will plead guilty to Duke Wei, saying that I also listened to the villain's slander and forced the prince to ask for rain!"

"In this way, the crime is shared by us! Cao Xiong's position as the eldest son is still possible, and we can keep it!"

Sima Yi's analysis is reasonable and restrained...

Dianman and Xu Yi immediately nodded and said yes...they still had a lot of energy to help Cao Xiong build the altar at first.

Now, I heard what Sima Yi said.

Only then did I know... this request for rain has such a big relationship, and it will even threaten the position of the son.

"Don't worry, Zhong Da!" Xu Yi cupped her hands and bowed. "When the time comes, I'll put all the blame on myself!"
