Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 704 Uproar
"What did you say?"
Cao Ang picked up the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldier in front of him and roared like an angry lion.
"The King of Wei died at the hands of Guan Yu!"
"Zi Xiu!" Xi Zhicai shouted, allowing Cao Ang to regain a little consciousness.
"What on earth happened?" Cheng Yu on the side was also a little irritable.
Everything seemed to be going well, how come it suddenly became like this?
"Urgent report from the front line, the Qing army is invading on a large scale, General Cao Ren requests assistance!"
"I will lead the troops myself!" Cao Ang roared angrily.
He didn't understand why it turned out like this, and why everything was turned upside down overnight.
"Cao Zixiu!" Xi Zhicai directly mobilized his mental power, making everyone in the room dizzy.
Although the will of God to break the world is strong, the mental strength of the counselor should not be underestimated.
"Listen, Cao Zixiu, no matter what happened, the King of Wei is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. You are the eldest son of the King of Wei, so you must bear all the consequences."
"Don't act unless it's beneficial, don't use unless it's necessary, don't fight unless it's dangerous. A ruler should not raise an army out of anger, and a general should not go to war out of resentment. Move when it's beneficial, and stop when it's not. Anger can turn into joy, resentment can turn into happiness, but a destroyed country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be brought back to life."
With every word, Xi Zhicai roared with his mental strength.
"Please teach me, military advisor!" Cao Ang finally calmed down.
"Summon Generals Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to lead their troops to support General Cao Ren."
"Abandon those areas that have not been fully planned, shrink the defense line, summon Generals Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu to reorganize the army, and be ready for secondary support at any time!"
"Order Generals Le Jin and Li Dian to station troops in the direction of the Mongols to guard against attacks from the other side!"
"Immediately send someone to confirm the situation and extract the memories of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If it is really done by Guan Yu, you will return to Luoyang in person and ask the Emperor to administer justice!"
Xi Zhicai calmly analyzed the situation to Cao Ang, and then told Cao Ang how to deal with the current situation.
"I'll go right away!" Cao Ang rushed out of the room with red eyes.
Xi Zhicai lay on the table with his head covered. The mental stimulation was also a huge harm to himself. If there was no other way, he would never do this.
Cheng Yu silently gave his adaptable spiritual talent to Xi Zhicai.
"Where is the King of Wei now?" Xi Zhicai asked, trying hard to prop up his head.
"I have ordered people to send him back to Luoyang. His life or death is unknown!" Cheng Yu's face was extremely ugly, and he asked with difficulty.
"Do you think it was Luoyang who did it?"
"No, it is absolutely impossible that Luoyang was responsible!" Xi Zhicai directly denied Cheng Yu's doubts.
"We still have value. Even if Luoyang intends to control us, he will never use such a simple and crude method. This kind of power loss for no reason has no value to Xinghan as a whole!"
"But they must know something!"
Xi Zhicai's face was gloomy. He knew Guo Jia. If it was Guo Jia who took action, Cao Ang would definitely not be able to come back.
But even if Guo Jia knew something, they couldn't blame Guo Jia.
This matter was ultimately the result of his and Cheng Yu's mistakes. He was too focused on trade, while Cheng Yu was completely tied to the elixir industry chain.
As a result, many problems were exposed and he was completely unprepared.
In fact, he had almost guessed what had happened. After all, it was no secret that Cao Ang had returned to visit his relatives.
To put it bluntly, Cao Cao was just too arrogant and did some fancy moves, but he never expected that this move would cost him his life.
Regardless of whether it was Guan Yun's hand, one thing is certain: this was a carefully designed trap, an ambush from all sides, and a sure death.
What’s even worse is that Xi Zhicai doesn’t understand why it was Guan Yu and what exactly this means.
He would never believe that Liu Bei was colluding with the Qing court, but the current situation required an explanation to stabilize the morale of the army.
"You stay here to take charge of the situation. I will go back to Luoyang immediately!"
"By the way, block all the news and never let it leak out."
Xi Zhicai stood up with difficulty, stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately Cheng Yu grabbed Xi Zhicai in time and no one was hurt.
……
"Is there any hope?" Chen Gong asked with a frown.
Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao in front of him and shook his head.
"The body is still alive, but the will is completely broken. The means of God's will are basically hopeless!"
"Basically?" Chen Gong noticed what Hua Tuo said.
"If you open the skull for treatment, there is a 1% chance of survival, but you still need to find a divine will warrior to cooperate."
"As for whether I can survive, I don't know!"
In front of Chen Gong, Hua Tuo gave Cao Cao a needle in the temple. Cao Cao immediately opened his eyes, but there was no sign of life.
"Please, doctor, preserve this body for the time being." Chen Gong bowed and left the hospital.
When he returned to his workplace, he found Jia Xu sitting inside.
"Were you two involved in this matter?" Jia Xu's face was extremely serious as he stared at Guo Jia and Chen Gong.
"Are you interrogating us?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows.
"This is the Emperor asking you!"
"no!"
Hearing the Emperor speak so calmly, Chen Gong also shook his head.
"So you had anticipated this situation a long time ago?" Jia Xu was very serious.
Mu Yi doesn't care whether Cao Cao lives or dies, it's just a matter of being crowned a king, and Xinghan has many options to replace him.
Arvind, Alnubis, Nigel...these people are all alternative options.
But Mu Yi doesn't want to see anyone holding Xinghan back, even if that person is a veteran who founded Xinghan.
Just like Mu Yi directly denied Jia Xu's idea of taking action against Liu Bei.
He didn't want Xinghan to be in a situation of internal strife before it even set sail, not to mention that there were powerful enemies surrounding Xinghan.
“Why not remind them?”
Jia Xu rubbed his eyebrows. Mu Yi knew that Guo Jia and Chen Gong had dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, so Guo Jia and Chen Gong were responsible for supervising all the enthronement of kings, which in itself was a kind of trust.
"Is this also what the Emperor asked?" Guo Jia asked back.
"That's what I want to ask!" Jia Xu's face darkened.
"I don't remember that we have the responsibility to remind them!" Guo Jia placed all the information about the accident in front of Jia Xu.
"They are the kings who were granted fiefs, not officials of Xinghan. If we have to handle everything, what's the point of having them?"
"So you choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire?"
"The trading platform they now control is also of great significance to Xinghan?" Jia Xu was increasingly confused about what Guo Jia was going to do.
"A King of Wei who would lose his life because of a woman is not suitable to control a platform between various empires!" Chen Gong said calmly.
“……” Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and then he understood.
"You are going to intervene in this platform. If Cao Mengde survives, what are you going to do?"
"If he were alive, he would have the qualifications to control the platform, but unfortunately, he didn't make it!"
Chen Gong and Guo Jia were full of malice towards Cao Cao, and Jia Xu didn't know why these two bastards were so hostile.
However, Jia Xu had to admit that this matter had nothing to do with Guo Jia and Chen Gong.
In other words, there is no point in reminding Cao Cao to be careful.
Even Luoyang in the rear knew about such a big move, but Cao Cao didn't notice it as he was completely immersed in playing with the beauty.
Even Chen Gong, who had a lot of dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, felt that this was a bit exaggerated, as if Cao Cao was being given the aura of mental retardation by Zhou Yu.
"So what are you going to do next?" Jia Xu felt a little tired.
"It depends on what they're going to do!"
"Report, Xi Zhicai wants to see you!"
Just as the three were discussing, the guard informed them that Xi Zhicai was coming to visit.
"Invite him in!"
Xi Zhicai walked into the room with a pale face and saw the information in front of Jia Xu at a glance.
Jia Xu shook his head and handed it to Xi Zhicai naturally.
After reading it, Xi Zhicai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He hadn't known what was happening before, but now that he knew, he just felt dizzy.
Although I had some guesses, when I actually saw it, I still found it a little unacceptable.
How could the wise and brave Cao Cao in our memory do such a thing?
Cao Cao had clearly read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and knew the life of another Cao Cao, but why did he still make such a mistake?
Xi Zhicai couldn't figure it out.
Just as Guo Jia said, Guo Jia and Chen Gong are not their babysitters and have no obligation to clean up their messes.
Moreover, they also did not want Xinghan to interfere too much in their development. Before this, Guo Jia and Chen Gong were just bystanders, and this was also the tacit understanding between them.
He couldn't blame Guo Jia and Chen Gong for not helping Cao Cao. After all, if Cao Cao was a little more normal, he wouldn't be in this terrible situation now.
"What's the matter with Guan Yu?" Xi Zhicai forced himself to suppress his complicated thoughts, staring at Guo Jia and asked.
"I don't know. I'm still investigating. But based on speculation, it should be similar to the Kushan way of gods and Buddhas descending to the world."
"So, it's fake?"
"Not necessarily! Maybe it's true, but it's just Guan Yu from the Qing Dynasty, just like the Marquis of Huaiyin and the Lord of Wu'an, who were pulled out of history."
"It really is like seeing a ghost!" Xi Zhicai pressed his eyebrows.
"I want to see the Emperor!"
……
When Mu Yi heard that Cao Cao was dead, he actually felt nothing at all.
But after knowing how Cao Cao died, I felt a little sad.
After all, there was no friendship between him and Cao Cao.
He just felt a little sad. How could Cao Cao become like this? Is it really that fate is irreversible?
He lost his life in a big package of failures, including the Battle of Wancheng, cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe, and being defeated at Red Cliff...
However, it seems that Cao Ang has broken his fate.
"Cao Mengde, is it really impossible to save him?" Mu Yi asked.
"Just like Caesar's death, Hua Tuo can save Cao Cao, but he can't prevent Cao Cao's death. If he can kill Guan Yu and destroy the Qing Dynasty, maybe he can survive!"
Jia Xu gave the final answer, which was also the result of consultation among Hua Tuo, Lu Bu and others.
"Fate is so fickle!" Mu Yi sighed.
"What about Cao Wei?"
"Xi Zhicai wants to see you!" Jia Xu finally decided to bring Xi Zhicai to Mu Yi.
Mu Yi nodded and summoned Xi Zhicai.
"I've met the emperor!"
Xi Zhicai saw Mu Yi and sighed. Just like when they and Cao Cao failed to fight against Mu Yi in the past, they suffered a great defeat again this time.
"Say it"
Mu Yi nodded to Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai was very capable and the platform he built was very valuable to Xinghan. Therefore, Cao Wei was also worthy of Xinghan's blood transfusion and rescue. Its value was even greater than that of Sun Quan.
"We hope Cao Ang can inherit the position of King of Wei!"
"can!"
Mu Yi did not refuse. A united Cao Wei would be more valuable to Xinghan.
"Please, Emperor, send a reinforcement!"
"Can!"
"Please ask the Emperor to send Guo Jia and Chen Gong to Cao's camp!" Xi Zhicai revealed his true intentions and made a request that no one expected.
"This……"
Mu Yi looked at Jia Xu. After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu nodded at Mu Yi.
"Emperor, this matter is beneficial to Xinghan!"
"If that's the case, then it's possible!" Mu Yi thought about it and felt that Jia Xu was right.
Cao Wei’s current value is very important. Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu’s energy is obviously not enough, and they really need to send someone to help. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that Cao Ang may be the one to die next.
Xun Yu, the original leader of Cao's camp, was shining in the Song Dynasty and controlled an entire empire. It was impossible for him to come and deal with the mess of Cao Wei.
Therefore, Guo Jia and Chen Gong are indeed a good idea, and they are usually responsible for supervising the enthronement of kings. They have a clear understanding of Cao Wei's forces and there is no problem for them to take direct action.
The Qing army's successive counterattacks did cause them considerable trouble.
However, they had no choice but to be patient for the time being. After all, the preparations were not yet complete, and it was not so easy to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in one wave.
It will take at least a year of preparation, or even longer.
What the Qing army has done so far has proved how troublesome it will be if it gets dragged into a tug-of-war.
So they need to be fully prepared before launching a raid.
Before this, the Cao Wei trading platform still had great significance.
When Guo Jia and Chen Gong found out, their faces looked a little bad.
They knew that Xi Zhicai was trying to deceive them. Just as they had done nothing wrong, it was also extremely correct for Xi Zhicai to ask them for help.
Even though Xi Zhicai had many options, he still chose this method.
One is to affirm their abilities, and the other is to disgust them.
However, they knew the difference between official and private affairs, so they could only accept it. After all, this was one of their purposes of watching the fire from the other side of the river. They just didn't expect that the two of them would be the ones to move into Cao's camp.
After going around in circles, the two of them seemed to be back on the right track of history and joined Cao's camp.
Although it was a bit awkward, the two adjusted quickly.
As soon as he entered Cao's camp, he made a series of reform plans to address the problems left over from Cao's camp.
Reforms may be difficult to carry out under normal circumstances, but they are easiest to carry out during turbulent times.
This is also the reason why Xi Zhicai deliberately wanted them.
They need someone who knows Cao Ying very well to help him overcome the difficulties.
