Chapter 6733 Boarding the Ship
Chapter 6733 Boarding the Ship
At this moment, Cao Cao was furious, furious, and furious, to the point that even his thoughts, which were originally almost zero, were pulled to the maximum value because of this anger. I, Cao Cao, am the biggest cancer of Cao Cao's power? What a joke! Without me, Cao Cao, where would Cao Cao's power come from!
Just as the saying goes, "If I were not in the country, I don't know how many people would be emperors and how many would be kings", in Cao Cao's world, he is the unique and irreplaceable protagonist. The world revolves around him. Without him, everything will lose its meaning.
Such a strong will and confidence allowed Cao Cao to maintain high morale and firm will to launch a new round of attacks despite repeated failures until victory came. So for Cao Cao, setbacks were only temporary, and everything he lost would be regained through his efforts!
I, Cao Cao, should be the General of the Western Expedition. Even if I have made mistakes, I will not admit them and will only make up for them in the future. What does it matter if people are in chaos? As long as I, Cao Cao, am alive, I will naturally be able to regroup!
This is Cao Cao, a treacherous hero in troubled times. He is also the best in will and belief. Apart from anything else, his belief that he will not be defeated far exceeds that of most of his contemporaries. Perhaps the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms do not have an advantage in terms of ability in historical comparison, but Cao and Liu were defeated repeatedly and still maintained their indomitable spirit when they reached the age of knowing the destiny. Their belief in fighting back in the face of the destruction of fate far surpassed that of most monarchs.
Not until all the means are exhausted, no, even when all the means are exhausted, people still have to give it a try. That’s why there were constant upheavals in the turbulent times during the Three Kingdoms period, Guandu, Chibi, Yiling, and even the hopeless Wuzhangyuan. Even when they were at the end of their rope, these people still didn’t give up.
As a representative figure of this generation, Cao Cao experienced no less defeats and despair than Liu Bei in official history. Cao Cao's victory was also the result of fighting again and again and never giving up.
Therefore, Cao Cao had never thought about what AI Cao Cao had considered, so from the moment he started to look through AI Cao Cao's memories, Cao Cao's anger had been constantly rising. It was precisely because of this constantly burning anger, this logic that could be said to be the opposite of the heavenly power, that Cao Cao, whose thoughts had been reduced to zero, maintained his current thinking intensity that was almost no different from that of a normal person.
However, no matter how angry he is, he cannot change the reality. The angrier he is, the more clearly he understands that Ai Cao Cao's argument is the correct result. This is a reality that Cao Cao himself cannot deny. Cao Cao is not a fool. He did not think of this only because he would not consider this aspect. But when the facts are before him, Cao Cao cannot deny this reality.
But precisely because he couldn't deny it, Cao Cao became even more angry!
AI Cao Cao's knowledge and wisdom come from Chen Gong and Cao's Five Strategies. AI Cao Cao has come up with such a conclusion. So, Cao Cao no longer needs to analyze what Chen Gong and Cao's Five Strategies really think.
Perhaps Chen Gong and Cao's five counselors were unable to think to this point due to something that was almost like a cognitive obstacle, but since AI Cao Cao came to this astonishing conclusion, Chen Gong and Cao's five counselors would sooner or later come to the same conclusion. To be honest, it was only a matter of time.
Just thinking about this, Cao Cao was almost ignited by anger.
"Very angry?" In the conscious level, AI Cao Cao looked at Cao Cao and said calmly.
"Without me, how could I be here now!" Cao Cao looked angrily at the AI Cao Cao that appeared in this sea of consciousness. He did not realize that if it was purely AI, it would never be possible for it to appear here.
"So parents should restrain their children forever?" AI Cao Cao seemed to know what Cao Cao would say in advance and gave an answer that Cao Cao could not refute.
"So the laws established by our ancestors are the golden rules, so the teachings of the Three Sovereigns and the inheritance of the Five Emperors should all be fully continued to this day?" Ai Cao Cao looked at Cao Cao indifferently and asked, "Some actions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were correct at the time. Are they still correct today? Why were some morals in the Zhou Li abolished in the Warring States Period? It is true that without the foundation of Zhou Li, there would be no thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but can we say that Zhou Li, as a source, overshadowed all the other schools of thought?"
Cao Cao's face turned pale. This answer directly denied Cao Cao's current necessity. As for admitting the necessity of the past, does it still make sense for Cao Cao now? If he did not admit the necessity of the present, then it would be natural to use Cao Cao as a scapegoat!
"Without me, there is no need for Cao Cao's forces to exist at all." Cao Cao retorted coldly.
"Without Cao Cao, Cao Ang's power is growing stronger and stronger. It may be better for the Han Empire. Chen Zichuan doesn't care whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Ang. He only cares whether it is beneficial. From a purely interest perspective, the interests represented by Cao Cao are at a loss, while Cao Ang at least has a future." AI Cao Cao calmly used Cao Cao's logic to explain the logic of the intention to eliminate Cao Cao.
"As long as it is necessary, everything can be sacrificed. Emotions, achievements, and even loyal subordinates, as long as it is necessary, can all be sacrificed. This is your logic, and eliminating you is also based on this logic. Why not?" Ai Cao Cao launched an inhumane attack on Cao Cao's weak spot.
That’s right. The logic behind killing Cao Cao did not come from the knowledge and experience of Chen Gong and the Five Strategists, but from Cao Cao’s political logic, a cold and ruthless political operation. There was no reason, only whether it was worth it. Obviously, it was worth sacrificing Cao Cao in exchange for the future.
"Shut up, you don't understand anything!" Cao Cao roared at Ai Cao Cao angrily.
"Yes, I don't understand anything." There was no anger, no expression, just calmly analyzing the pros and cons of the AI Cao Cao and speaking truthfully, sincerely critically attacking Cao Cao's original body.
To be honest, if Cao Cao's consciousness was still in control of his body, this cold and ruthless sentence alone would be enough to cause him to have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.
"This is the plan. If you are willing to play the last scene, that's the best. If you are not willing, I will play the last scene in your place." AI Cao Cao calmly informed Cao Cao's own consciousness.
After saying this, Ai Cao Cao once again took over Cao Cao's body, without any trace of his previous anger.
As for Cao Cao's own consciousness, even with the blessing of anger, he still couldn't take back his body. This completely unshakable feeling made Cao Cao inevitably feel a little despair. However, before Cao Cao could wipe out this despair, the intensity of his thoughts without anger plummeted and quickly fell to the lowest level, to the point of almost no reaction.
"The prince has privately mobilized the imperial guards to suppress the attack and wait for post-war processing." Cao Cao silently looked at Cao Ang and gave the order. Two men from the Tiger Guards under Dian Wei who were stationed at the door quickly came over.
Lin He and Shang Ying came over expressionlessly and sandwiched Cao Ang in the middle, and led Cao Ang out of the main hall without struggling, just like carrying a chicken.
"E Lai, do you think what I did was right?" After Cao Cao had Cao Ang taken away, he turned his head and spoke in the direction of Dian Wei.
Dian Wei had a confused look on his face, his brain nerves were almost replaced by muscles. You asked him this kind of question, but Dian Wei still didn't know what had happened. Anyway, Cao Ang was taken away, but he had no idea why.
Looking at Dian Wei's clear eyes that were not polluted by knowledge at all, AI Cao Cao nodded slowly. As expected, he would have to find a way to make arrangements for Dian Wei later. With his brain, if he didn't make arrangements, a large-scale fight would probably break out when Cao Ang was forced by his officers to purge the court. Moreover, with Dian Wei and his Tiger Guards, even if the Tiger Guards were slacking off, they could still delay the situation for quite a while. If Xiahou Yuan caught up by then, it would be a big trouble.
Cao Ang succeeded in clearing the court of evil officials. He used Cao Cao's seal to submit a petition to beg for retiring, and then nominated Cao Ang to succeed him. There was a high probability that Chang'an would approve it without even looking at it. By then, the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers would have nothing to say to Cao Ang, the legitimate heir.
Moreover, once this handover is successful, even if Cao Cao has some other ideas, they will not be realized. This is more stable than the situation of Li Shimin and Li Yuan.
But if Cao Cao and Cao Ang were fighting, and Xiahou Yuan came, it would be obvious who he would help. Cao Cao did not want this kind of help, but the word could not be spread out from him, so he still had to prepare what he needed to prepare.
"Young Master, please." Lin He and Shang Ying pulled Cao Ang out of the main hall like a chicken, and when they reached a place where Cao Cao couldn't see them, they looked at each other and put Cao Ang down tacitly. Then Shang Ying glanced at Lin He, motioning him to say whatever he wanted to say quickly.
"Young Master, I patrol the secret prison at night. It has rained heavily these past few days and the brothers are busy a lot. If you need anything, we will handle it now. It will be difficult to handle it at night." Lin He used the force field protection to block the rain and spoke to Cao Ang as if to please him.
Cao Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, and with his intelligence he immediately understood what Lin He meant - if you want to run at night, run quickly, it has been raining for the past two days and all the traces can be wiped out. If you want us to contact someone now, we have two people here, so we can send one to make the contact.
"No, let's go to the secret prison first." Cao Ang shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin Bai. It's not time yet."
"Okay then." Lin He didn't say much after hearing that. He took Cao Ang to the secret prison. After settling Cao Ang, Lin He sent the jailer away and guarded here himself. After a while, Mrs. Bian from Cao's side came to visit Cao Ang.
Mrs. Ding was killed by Liang He because of Cao Cao's family extermination incident, and Cao Ang's younger brother Cao Suo also died. After Cao Cao came back, although he was extremely angry and replaced AI Cao Cao during that time, Liang He's whole family died because of Cao Cao's previous killing of innocent people. After Liang He avenged his wife and children, he died of exhaustion in prison. Cao Cao didn't even have anyone to revenge himself on. If you really think about this matter, Cao Cao's problem is the biggest.
So Cao Cao's state did not last for a few days. AI Cao Cao took over Cao Cao's body and then legally promoted Lady Bian to the position. After all, Cao Ang's capable brothers, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and others were all born to Lady Bian. At this time, the position of Lady was vacant, so it was natural to make Lady Bian the throne.
Well, the reasons are more than that. To be honest, at that time, Cao Cao had already realized that he was the scourge and the root cause, and he began to plan the subsequent operations on the spot. He made Lady Bian his wife, which meant that Cao Pi could be the legitimate son. To a certain extent, it was putting pressure on Cao Ang and forcing Cao Ang to exert his strength from another direction. As for the fact that this operation would sacrifice Lady Bian and Cao Pi...
For Cao Cao, he himself was a sacrifice, and sacrificing a few more whetstones would be nothing. It's just that Cao Ang's performance in this aspect was exceptionally good. After Lady Bian became his legal wife, she treated Cao Ang as her own son. Cao Ang treated Cao Pi as his younger brother as before, and Cao Pi did not have any ambition and tried his best to assist Cao Ang.
"Ang'er, your father is somewhat moody, so don't take it too seriously. I'll talk to him in a couple of days and see if he can get you released." Although Madam Bian was smart, she didn't quite understand what happened today. Cao Cao had imposed a strict blockade. After all, this was a middle-aged prince mobilizing the imperial guards. If he wanted to continue the drama, he couldn't expose it directly, otherwise anyone with a little political sense would know that at this point, Cao had to kill Cao Ang.
So Madam Bian really didn't know what had happened. She only knew that Cao Ang had been captured by the old man Cao Cao and sent to the secret prison. When Madam Bian received the news, she rushed to see Cao Ang before Cao Cao notified the Cao family that no one was allowed to see Cao Ang. By the way, after receiving the news, Madam Bian's first reaction was that Cao Cao had fallen ill again. How could this kid Cao Ang make a mistake?
"I can't let him out." Cao Ang shook his head and said. In fact, he knew that he was impulsive today. Other things could be resolved, but this matter could not be resolved. The position of Crown Prince was an important one, just like the prince of a country. If the prince in his prime could mobilize the guards without the seal, then it would be time for the prince to either die or super evolve. Similarly, the same goes for the Crown Prince.
But Cao Ang knew clearly why the situation in Kandahar had come to this point. How could he remain indifferent to the situation that Yan Xing was about to face?
If Cao Ang could face all this with such indifference like Cao Cao, there would be no need for him to think hard about how to overthrow his father while retaining the Five Strategies of the Cao Family. He could just wait to succeed to the throne. After all, he would be the same as Cao Cao, with no difference.
Trying hard to win back people's hearts, but hesitating and considering the so-called long-term when faced with the scene of people's hearts collapsing, is simply putting the cart before the horse.
So, standing in the Kandahar secret prison, Cao Ang recalled that his behavior today was somewhat reckless, but he really had no regrets - if he hadn't sent people over, Yan Xing would really be beaten to death. If it was just one legion of Ardashir, Yan Xing would have enough clouds to form shadow soldiers to provide cushioning force, and he could retreat even if he suffered heavy losses. But what kind of situation is Yan Xing facing now? That's the entire army of Ardashir. Can Yan Xing's legion hold up?
There has never been any invincible legion talent in this world. You can take advantage of the strong by relying on a unique trick, but it is nonsense to want to defeat the strong by this. How strong is Ardashir? Just look at how Cao Cao has not made any progress since Ardashir entered Kabul, and he has lost the defensive fortress upstream of the Helmand River. You can understand what the situation is.
Even though there are some backlashes from Cao Cao's tricks, it's as if Cao Cao's values were trustworthy in the past few years, and Cao Cao was not assassinated by the people of Xuzhou. Ardashir's strength is not fake! He can really beat Yan Xing to death before the reinforcements arrive!
"Ah, you can't get out?" Madam Bian was startled when she heard this, and then a smile appeared on her face. "Your father is really something. Even if he has something to argue with you, he should consider his age. He is over fifty years old and knows his destiny. He is still entangled in these trivial things. He arrested you because he was angry for a while and his mind was confused. Think about it carefully. He locked you up here. Who will take care of him in his old age? The coffin of a prince is also a decent part. Among your father's sons, who else can show off except you?"
"Ang'er, after Madam Ding passed away, your father made me his wife. Do you know why I didn't touch your position as the legitimate son?" Seeing that Cao Ang wanted to explain what happened, Madam Bian waved her hand, signaling Cao Ang to listen to her and not to speak.
"Logically speaking, I am the lady now, and you were only raised by Madam Ding, not born to her. My son Cao Pi should be the legitimate son. But do you know why I have never mentioned this since I took over the position of lady, and still regard you as the legitimate son?" Madam Bian looked at Cao Ang with a frivolous frown. She was born a prostitute and had seen too much of the world. She was born with outstanding intelligence. Over the years, she sees many things much more clearly than these young people.
Cao Ang was silent for a while after hearing this. Madam Bian's words aroused his doubts. Indeed, he, Cao Ang, was raised by Madam Ding, not born to her. He was actually a bastard's son. It was only because Madam Ding was Cao Cao's first wife and she had no children, so she adopted him as her son, and therefore he was the legitimate son.
Mrs. Ding died, and Mrs. Bian became her wife. She had four sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Xiong. Moreover, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were all outstanding. In theory, it was in the interests of Mrs. Bian to suppress Cao Ang and gradually establish Cao Pi as the crown prince. After all, this was the family of a prince.
"Because among all the descendants of the Cao family, you are the only one who is both civil and martial, and you can tolerate your brothers. If it were Pi'er, I would be afraid that on the day your father passed away, without your suppression, these guys would not care about the corpse and would just attack each other." Madam Bian said helplessly, "You are the prince, and no matter how I treat you, as a legitimate mother, at least you will not have to worry about the future. If you are captured, and Pi'er becomes the prince, not to mention the other brothers, I am afraid that my other three sons will not have a good life."
Cao Ang was silent for a long time and had nothing to say.
"So your father's situation is just urgent at the moment, and it will be fine in a few days." Mrs. Bian told Cao Ang her judgment.
"I mobilized troops privately." Cao Ang said truthfully.
Vote if you have votes. The author is in such a miserable state now, I can't describe it. As for the plot, please try to perfect the characters and positions as much as possible. Sigh.
