Chapter 297 297 I would rather let the world down than let the world down me (page 12)

"???"

After hearing Yu Bai's words, the three Ice Emperors were all puzzled at this moment.

‘Cao Thief’? Doesn’t this just sound like a piece of trash talk?

Why does it become a spirit? !

Just when the Ice Emperor wanted to ask more questions, a new picture reappeared on the light curtain above the sky.

In the picture, pictures of a baby born, to a young man studying, enthusiastically serving the country as an official... fighting on the battlefield, and finally becoming a generation of King of Wei quickly emerged one by one!

Seeing this, the people on Douluo Continent not only had a general impression of Cao Cao, who was about to become an exposed figure, but also had an initial understanding of the world in which Cao Cao lived.

"It seems that the character exposed this time is an ordinary person without any extraordinary power."

"However, the world in the picture is really an extremely chaotic world. At least judging from these few seconds of the picture, the character Cao Cao exposed this time has been fighting almost since he was young, and he did not even die. Ushering in the final peace, war, alas!”

"Yes, just the few war scenes on the screen can make people tremble in their souls. They are battles involving hundreds of thousands of people. After one battle, the number of casualties on both sides is at least over 100,000, and that area It seems that wars are happening every day in the world. Calculating this, during Cao Cao's lifetime, the number of people who died in that world due to wars was at least tens of millions... Hiss! What a cruel and terrifying world it was! He's an ordinary person, why do he look like that?!"

"Haha, when ordinary people lose their awe, when their desires are released, the world may be destroyed!"

"From this point of view, maybe it is not a bad thing for our world to have soul power. After all, soul masters are only a minority..."

"..."

Just as everyone was talking about it, lines of black and neat black writing appeared on the screen above the light screen.

[After "Three Kingdoms" calls him Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, Cao Cao's father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng. Cao Teng served four emperors and had a certain reputation. During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he was named Fei Tinghou, "Three Kingdoms: Chronicle of Emperor Wu" It is said in the book that Cao Song "cannot judge the root and cause of it". Cao Song inherited Cao Teng's title of Marquis and became a Taiwei during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Although Cao Cao came from a wealthy family, he was still regarded as a "Han tribe" in the eyes of his time after being an eunuch. This social status inspired Cao Cao to be aggressive. As a teenager, he loved reading and read extensively in classics and history, especially military works. He also had unique talents in poetry, calligraphy, and music, almost comparable to those of famous artists, and his martial arts were also very strong.

In his youth, Cao Cao was smart, alert, and able to adapt to changes. He was also willful, chivalrous, and bohemian. He did not cultivate his moral character or study academically. Therefore, people at the time did not think that he had any special talents. Only Qiao Xuan of Liang State and others People thought he was extraordinary, so Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao: "The world is about to be in chaos, and it cannot be saved unless the talents of the world are destined to save it. The one who can bring peace to peace belongs to you?" He Yong of Nanyang said to him: "The Han Dynasty is about to perish, and the world will be settled." It must be this person!" Xu Shao of Nanyang was famous for his knowledge of people. He also once said to Cao Cao: "A traitor in peace is a hero in troubled times." In "Three Kingdoms", "A capable minister in governing the world is a hero in troubled times." .

Cao Cao showed interest and talent in martial arts in his early years. He once sneaked into Zhang Rang's house. After being discovered by Zhang Rang, he escaped over the wall with a halberd in hand and escaped unharmed. He also read a lot of books, especially the art of war. He once copied the military strategies of various ancient schools, and his work "Wei Wu Zhu Sun Tzu" which annotated "The Art of War" has been handed down to the world. These activities laid a solid foundation for his later military career. 】

Seeing this, everyone on Douluo Continent also became very interested in Cao Cao.

Moreover, although they already know the final achievements of Cao Cao's life from the first scene, because of this, everyone is also extremely curious about Cao Cao's wonderful life!

However, at the same time, the senior officials of Shrek Academy and the monarchs and ministers of the four empires were even more interested in Cao Cao's evaluation as "a capable minister in times of trouble, a hero in troubled times".

What kind of life can be evaluated like this? !

At the same time, Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with intense interest.

"The Art of War? What kind of military book is "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? Is it suitable for this continent?"

Above the sky, the light curtain continues to play,

【Folding comes to the fore

In the third year of Xiping (174), the twenty-year-old Cao Cao was promoted to Xiaolian and entered Luoyang, the capital, as a man. Soon, he was appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang. Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was a place where royal relatives and nobles lived together, and it was difficult to govern. As soon as Cao Cao took office, he declared the prohibition and strict laws and regulations. He made more than ten big sticks of five colors and hung them around the yamen. "Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed with the stick." Jian Tu, the uncle of the emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo, broke the ban and walked at night. Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-color stick.

As a result, "the capital kept its traces, and no one dared to offend."

However, Cao Cao also offended some powerful officials such as Jian Shuo. Due to his father Cao Song's relationship, he was promoted openly and secretly, and Cao Cao was transferred to Dunqiu, far away from Luoyang. Ren Dunqiuling. This year, Cao Cao was twenty-three years old. Many years later, Cao Cao wrote in a letter "Jie Zizhi" to his son Cao Zhi: "I used to be Dunqiu Ling, and I was twenty-three years old. Thinking about what I did at this time, I have no regrets today. Now you are also twenty-three years old. Come on, don’t force yourself!”

In the first year of Guanghe (178), Cao Cao was removed from his official position because his cousin-in-law Jianqiang Hou Song Qi was killed by eunuchs and was implicated. After that, he had nothing to do in Luoyang and returned to his hometown of Qiao County to live idle.

In the third year of Guanghe (180), Cao Cao was recruited by the imperial court and appointed Yilang. Previously, General Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan planned to kill the eunuchs, but unexpectedly they failed and were killed by the eunuchs. Cao Cao wrote a letter stating that Dou Wu and others were framed for their integrity as officials, which resulted in the treacherous people filling the court while the loyal and good people were not reused. His words were sincere, but they were not adopted by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. After that, Cao Cao wrote many times to remonstrate. Although there were occasional results, the Eastern Han Dynasty became increasingly corrupt, and Cao Cao knew that he could not correct it.

In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. Cao Cao was worshiped as the Cavalry Captain and was ordered to join forces with Huangfu Song and others to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Then he moved to Jinan Prime Minister. During his tenure as Prime Minister of Jinan, Cao Cao managed affairs as before. There are more than ten state-owned counties in Jinan. Most of the county magistrates are dependent on their power, are corrupt and pervert the law, and have no scruples. All previous prime ministers of the country ignored Cao Cao. When Cao Cao took office, he vigorously organized and dismissed eight out of ten officials at once. Jinan was shocked and corrupt officials fled one after another.

"Politics and religion are flourishing, and a county is peaceful."

At that time, the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty were extremely dark, and there was even a system of buying officials. The imperial court returned him as the governor of Dongjun and worshiped him as Yilang. Cao Cao refused to cater to the powerful, so he returned to his hometown due to illness, where he studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and temporarily lived in seclusion.

At that time, the world was in chaos. First, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, joined forces with Xu You of Nanyang, Zhou Jing of Pei State and other local tycoons to plot to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. Wang Fen and others once hoped that Cao Cao would join them, but Cao Cao refused. Wang Fen later committed suicide after being defeated. Then, Bian Zhang and Han Sui from Jincheng County in the northwest killed the governor and the prefect, and led more than 100,000 troops to rebel against the imperial court.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty established the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan in order to consolidate his rule. Cao Cao was appointed as the Dianjun Xiaowei among the Eight Schools Lieutenants because of his family background.

Chen Liu raised troops

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away, Prince Liu Bian ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager He came to govern. General He Jin wanted to take advantage of the death of Emperor Ling and the eunuchs' loss of power to kill the ten permanent servants, but he failed to gain the support of Queen Mother He. So He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo, who was then the governor of Bingzhou, to the capital and coerced Queen Mother He into agreeing. However, this action alerted the enemy. Before Dong Zhuo arrived in the capital, He Jin had been murdered by the eunuchs. In September of the same year, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took charge of the government. He deposed the young emperor of Han Dynasty as King Hongnong and appointed his younger brother Chen Liuwang as Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. He also sent people to poison King Hongnong's mother and son to death. He called himself Taishi and specialized in government affairs. Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo's rebellious behavior and was unwilling to cooperate with him. The assassination failed, so he changed his name and fled the capital Luoyang. 】
