Chapter 630 Brothers work together to strengthen the enemy
Headache is not a serious illness, but once it hurts, it can be fatal. Cao Cao, who is in his fifties, feels like a steel needle is stabbing his head every time he opens his eyes. Within a month
During the period, he fainted several times from the pain. He was really unable to deal with important military and political matters, so he had to call Cao Ang, and Cao Pi and Sima Yi came to the bedside!
"Father, how are you?" When they came to the bed and looked at the dying Cao Cao, Cao Ang and Cao Pi both showed a trace of worry. Not only for Cao Cao's health, but also for the future of Cao Cao's army.
"It's okay to be a father!" Holding back the pain, Cao Cao showed a seemingly friendly smile, but due to the pain, his smile turned out to be even more ferocious!
"Father, you should let the doctors of the Qin Army come to diagnose and treat you!" Kneeling beside the couch, Cao Ang shed tears in his eyes. He knew that only the doctors of the Qin Army could save Cao Cao!
"No!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I don't want to accept Liu Zhang's favor!"
"Father, why did you risk your own life just to get angry with Liu Zhang?" Kneeling in front of the couch, Cao Pi's face was filled with tears. Seeing that his father, whom he had admired very much since childhood, was dying, even though Cao Pi's heart was as solid as stone, he couldn't
It turned into a puddle of hot water.
"My son, I don't need Liu Zhang's doctors, not only for myself, but also for you!" Cao Cao sighed: "I don't know how powerful the doctors of Chang'an are, but if we always rely on them, won't we be at the mercy of others?
Only now do I understand that if I want to surpass Liu Zhang, I must not only surpass him in terms of brains and practicality, but also in other aspects, otherwise I will never be his opponent!"
"This..." Cao Pi wanted to ask again, but when he saw Cao Cao's expression of a splitting headache, he suddenly couldn't bear it. He helped Cao Cao rub his temples and said with a sad face: "Father, please rest and stop talking!"
"My son is interested!" Cao Cao said weakly: "I called you here today because I have something to give you. Why hasn't Zhongda arrived yet?"
"Father, Sima Yi is setting up defenses. He's just late, so I sent in to call him!" Cao Pi stood up and wanted to leave, but Cao Cao stopped him!
"Zihuan, listen to me, be careful of Sima Yi. You are not able to conquer this one..." Cao Cao gasped for air, his head began to hurt violently again, and he held Cao Pi's hand tightly.
The distorted face was full of anxiety!
"Father, the situation is critical now, and Sima Yi won't have any objections. You should rest in peace and recuperate!" Seeing Cao Cao's painful appearance, Cao Ang felt very distressed!
"No!" Cao Cao said with his head in his arms: "Since Sima Yi hasn't come yet, I'll give you an instruction. If Shouchun is defeated, you surrender as a family immediately. No matter what Sima Yi says, ignore him! Only in this way, the Cao family
Only then can the bloodline be preserved!"
"No!" How could Cao Pi, who had always been very ambitious, surrender to Liu Zhang? He gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I will fight Liu Zhang to the end and never admit defeat!"
"Confused!" Cao Cao said: "You are not even Liu Zhang's opponent as a father, how can you do it? With your ability, you can maintain success. Wanting to make a difference in troubled times, how is it different from dreaming? In addition, you are quite ambitious.
Sima Yi, do you want the Cao family to perish?"
"I..." Kneeling on the ground, Cao Pi looked confused. He knew that Cao Cao was right, but he was still unwilling to do so!
"Father, the child knows!" Cao Ang didn't have any ambitions. He knelt on the ground and said: "If Shouchun really can't hold it, I will definitely surrender with my whole family, but..."
"I know what you are worried about!" Cao Cao said; "Although Liu Jiyu is cruel, he is pretty good. As long as you do not violate his orders, regulations, and policies, he will not do anything to you. For the sake of being a father.
, he will still take care of you. He will never be like Sima Yi, who will kill you all!"
"Father, if Shouchun City is defeated, let my elder brother surrender, and I will continue to resist Liu Zhang with Sima Yi! If the situation can be reversed, I will send in to bring my brother back. If it cannot be reversed, I will be the only one to die!" Cao Pi's eyes flashed
After a flash of cold light, those who are cruel to others are often more cruel to themselves!
"Second brother, how can you do such a risky thing? Or should you surrender, Sima Yi and I..." Cao Ang looked anxious and wanted to replace Cao Pi. He didn't want his brother to die. With Cao Ang's character,
It may not be suitable to be an emperor or a king. But as a son or brother, he is definitely worthy of his death!
"Brother, please stop fighting with me!" Cao Pi felt warm in his heart and quickly interrupted Cao Ang. Although he had always wanted to seize Cao Ang's position, Cao Ang had never blamed him. Now, seeing that his brother was willing to die for him,
Thinking of his past behavior again, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart!
"Second brother, you..." Seeing that Cao Pi had made up his mind, Cao Ang wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Pi was stopped.
"Brother, I'm sorry!" Cao Pi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Ang.
"Second brother, what are you doing!" He quickly helped Cao Pi up, but Cao Ang was a little excited. After many years, Cao Pi didn't call him eldest brother anymore!
"In the past, I did a lot of things that I felt sorry for my elder brother, but my elder brother still treated me like this. No one can be ruthless. I have to apologize to my elder brother for my actions over the years!" Cao Pi was lying on the ground, his attitude was very firm, but
Cao Cao, who was lying on the couch, showed a happy smile.
As the saying goes: Brothers working together can break gold. Cao Cao had many sons, even seven or eight of his legitimate sons, but these legitimate sons had never worked together! Unlike in history, Cao Pi did not fight endlessly with Cao Zhi because Cao Ang was still alive.
, but Cao Pi, who was very ambitious, always wanted to move to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang is not Cao Zhi. He has no frivolousness or alcoholism. Under Cao Cao's influence, he has made great achievements in both military and political affairs. His benevolence has been recognized by Cao Cao's subordinates. In this case, Cao Pi can only give Cao Ang a secret
Knife. But Cao Ang knew it was Cao Pi who was causing trouble for him, but he never showed a trace of anger.
In the past, Cao Pi thought that Cao Ang had bad intentions or was trying to buy. Now, at a critical moment of life and death, Cao Ang decided to surrender after the city was broken. There was no need to be pretentious, but he still cared about Cao Pi so much. It was all in his heart.
How could Cao Pi be a ruthless and unjust person?
Historically, Cao Pi wanted to kill Cao Zhi. If he was really ruthless and unjust, how could a mere seven-step poem dispel his murderous intention? It can be seen that Cao Pi may be ruthless, but he is still like Cao Cao.
He keeps his true feelings deep in his heart. Of course, if his brother wants to snatch his rights, he will kill him without hesitation!
"Alas..." After sighing, Cao Ang helped Cao Pi up and sighed: "Second brother, how could I not know what you are thinking? I had originally planned to directly recommend you to inherit his position after my father passed away. It's just that
pity…"
"Brother, you..." After hearing Cao Ang's words, Cao Pi blushed, and he felt even more ashamed!
"Brothers working together can break gold! Although you only understand, I am also very happy as a father!" Seeing the two sons getting back together, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as a father, I have relied on my brothers at home.
Only then can I have a foundation. Brothers Xiahou, Brother Cao Ren, and your uncle Cao De, they have all made great contributions to me. You brothers should do the same!"
"Father, I know I was wrong!" Cao Pi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Cao to express his regret!
"Father, the kid is also at fault! If the kid had told his second brother earlier, he would not have been right with the kid all the time!" As the elder brother, Cao Ang has been defending his brothers. Seeing Cao Pi admit his mistake, he took the blame again
Get out of body.
"No!" Cao Pi didn't want his eldest brother to take the blame for him anymore. He kowtowed: "In the past, I would have never listened to what my eldest brother said. It's all my fault!"
"Okay!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "I called you here, not to pursue these things. You are all my sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. To be honest, the father should be blamed. If the father would kill you as soon as possible.
If the conflict between us is resolved, then there won’t be that much trouble! However, that’s fine, if you can really move to Ang’er, it means you are more capable than him. Only as a father can I trust you and leave my child to you!”
"Father, I have let you down!" Cao Ang looked ashamed. If Cao Cao hadn't been disappointed in him, how could he train Cao Pi?
"No, you have done a good job, but as a father, you must choose a better son!" Cao Cao smiled and said: "Only the best can reach the highest position. It's like Liu Zhang is better than me, so I have always been
Defeat at his hands!"
"Father, you are just unlucky. When we defeat Liu Zhang, you will still be able to make a comeback..." Cao Ang and Cao Pi said in unison, but Cao Cao burst into laughter!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Recently, my father has been troubled by head wind and often faints. He is really unable to handle government affairs! From today on, military affairs will be handed over to Ang'er, and government affairs will be handed over to Pi'er.
.If you have any questions, just ask Zhongda."
"Father, we..." Seeing that Cao Cao was arranging funeral arrangements, Cao Ang and Cao Pi were about to refuse, but Cao Cao stopped him!
"Listen to my father!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "If you want to defeat Liu Zhang, you have to go all out. My father has a splitting headache, so how can you be his opponent? You have already learned a lot about my father's true legacy. In addition,
With Zhongda as your assistant, you will definitely do well! You are all proud of your fathers, don’t you even have the courage to face a powerful enemy?"
"Father, we will definitely do our best!" Cao Ang and Cao Pi only hesitated slightly and stood up to answer the order.
"Okay! This looks like my son, Cao Cao!" Cao Cao sneered: "Liu Jiyu is indeed better than me, but if you can stop him, it proves that I have two good sons. I am not as good as him, but my son is worse than him. Even if I lose at the hands of Liu Zhang, I will have no regrets!"
"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely not let you down..." Cao Ang, Cao Pi gritted his teeth, his face full of determination
