For Chen Xi, even if Cao Cao committed a heinous crime and wanted to be executed, he would still have to be punished in a canonical way before he was dragged to kill him. Cao Cao could not be a beast and just kill indiscriminately. Chen Xi should also follow the beast.
However, Cao Cao was sent back to Chang'an overnight. If he died inexplicably in the Government Affairs Office, it would be too dark to think that Cao Cao was sent back to Chang'an because of a major problem and was secretly executed by Chen Xi. .
Even if Chen Xi's reputation can explain clearly, he can't suppress the whispers of others, so for Chen Xi, even if Cao Cao dies, don't die in his own place. If he really dies in the Chang'an Government Affairs Office, then to Chen Xi, it is a toad. He jumps on his feet and doesn't bite, but his diaphragm bites people!
Comparatively speaking, Cao Ang's situation is worse than Chen Xi's situation when Cao *** was in the Government Affairs Department.
On the one hand, Cao Ang and even the entire Cao family do not have the credibility of Chen Xi. On the other hand, if the talks were completed today, the situation would be relatively stable. As a result, 143 centurions had disappeared overnight, and the next day would definitely be There was a mutiny, and not only those who were supporting the scene today were involved, because it meant that the rules were completely ignored.
In fact, a large part of the reason for Cao Cao's huge backlash this time is because this is not the first time that Cao Cao has not followed the rules. Credibility is still very important.
"General Dian, I have been troublesome for you recently." Cao Ang said to Dian Wei again. Dian Wei scratched his head and quickly returned the greeting, saying that he would protect Cao Ang.
"Furthermore, when will Ardashir arrive?" Cao Ang said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Our current situation may be better if we have foreign enemies."
"They must have received the news. After all, the fire in Kandahar cannot be faked." Xun Yu said with a solemn expression, "It's just that there is no information on when the attack will be launched."
"How about a show?" Xun You suddenly said.
"Don't dare to use troops randomly at this time, especially before Ardashir arrives." Mao Jie shook his head and said, "Accidents can easily happen."
"No, what I mean is that we act as if we are taking the initiative to divert internal conflicts." Xun You said slowly, "I don't believe Ardashir doesn't know our current situation."
"Just follow this. We don't have many choices." Cao Ang nodded and said.
"Our morale is extremely turbulent right now, and people are in turmoil. Taking the initiative will cause problems."
Chen Qun frowned and said, "Besides, Ardashir is not an easy person to deal with. If a flaw is caught, it won't be a question of the size of the loss. The command center may be directly attacked, and the eldest son, the legion commander It’s not easy.”
Chen Qun no longer cares about his status, so when he spoke, he was much more straightforward. He directly pointed out that he doubted whether Cao Ang could serve as commander-in-chief. Well, it was not a question of whether he could serve as commander-in-chief. It was simply impossible!
"There is still a certain problem of centurion transfer in taking the initiative." Xun Yu said slowly.
"Not every legion has one, and not every legion has many. This is essentially an armed massacre. When we go out, Aldashir notices the movement, and combined with the intelligence, he must understand that we are deceiving him. But we will definitely lead the Holy Death Cavalry to attack, and then we will retreat. We don’t want to fight, we just want to prove that Aldashir is really here." Xun You explained calmly.
The reasons given by Xun Yu barely allowed the daughters of the exterminated family to calm down and think. However, this situation was not stable. In the current situation of the Cao family, there was no external enemy and they could not be unified anyway.
Cao Ang's thinking is very clear - Cao Cao cannot be stable no matter what with his internal strength. They must now rely on external pressure to bridge the internal rifts to a certain extent. Otherwise, if they cannot survive this level, they will be finished.
"Mobilize General Barak to come to Kandahar." Cao Ang sat up straight and said very carefully. There is no doubt that this means fully activating the Beigui faction.
"At present, we can guarantee that the legion that will not be involved in this matter is the Arak Legion near Herat." Cao Ang said slowly.
As far as Cao Ang is concerned, Balak is his brother-in-law anyway. Cao Cao is prepared and exploited when he is in power, but he stands on the side of
From Cao Ang's standpoint, his brother-in-law is at least trustworthy.
Xun Yu and others looked at each other and said nothing in the end. At this time, they did not talk about Barak's reputation among the Kushan people, Barak's remaining power in Kandahar, or the internal unrest that might arise from Barak's mobilization. significance.
"We need a senior general to defend the city, and the one who is currently absolutely neutral and reliable is my brother-in-law." Cao Ang said very seriously, "Mobile him here."
After Xun Yu and others thought for a while, they nodded. Cao Ang's position was extremely firm and the reasons given were very sufficient. Xun Yu and others could not say anything.
On the last day of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the Xiahou brothers brought Galen and Zhang Zhongjing from Rome, along with Su and Pompianus' son Pomponi.
At the same time, Barak, who had been hanging around in Herat and happily holding the princess in his arms, received a notice from his uncle and reluctantly dispatched troops to Kandahar. Although he did not deny that he had Those qualities, but really don’t want to go.
"Why are you guys here to come to ***?" Chen Xi looked at the members of the Central Asia family who were obviously here to complain, and said helplessly, "I suggest you go to Cao Sikong, and Cao Sikong has been in the medical college recently. You can go there at any time. , no problem."
"Don't you care about Cao Sikong destroying all our branches?" Wu Kang looked at Chen Xi with an angry expression and a bit of expectation, and he was surrounded by a group of family members who came to complain. After all, Cao Cao More than 20 people were wiped out, and most of these 20 people were just branches of major aristocratic families that had invested in Cao Cao.
Of course, these branches are all very important branches, and the members inside are not superficial, but now that they are all over, how can I not be angry.
"This matter is not my business. I suggest you talk to Cao Sikong. Then this is something endorsed by the Yingchuan Chen family. I looked at it and signed it. This is all I can guarantee you. As for you If you are talking about other things, then they are not my business." Chen Xi replied very calmly, Cao Cao has been sent to the medical hospital for a craniotomy, and it should be today.
After all, Cao Cao didn't have an ordinary cerebral hemorrhage, but an intracranial blood vessel that exploded. Even a warrior who had mastered Qi and became a gang couldn't withstand such a thing. Thanks to his current technical strength, Hua Tuo showed how he could lose his life at the hands of the Lord of Hell. His ability forced Cao Cao to stay in the world.
But Hua Tuo alone was not enough. After Galen and Zhang Zhongjing came back, the three great miracle doctors joined forces for diagnosis and treatment, and finally designed a treatment plan - this ladle, ah, no, this head, ah, it requires a craniotomy, and the only way is to open it. The brain can be treated effectively.
Chen Xi was numb at that time, and after a long detour, Cao Cao finally went around to do a craniotomy.
To be honest, when Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and Galen came to see Chen Xi excitedly, Chen Xi was unwilling to go through. After all, this was a craniotomy, and now even a sterile room can't handle it. You guys are so messy, Will he really not die?
As a result, the three of them assured that there is at least a possibility of curing the disease through craniotomy. Even if it cannot be cured, it will be the same as Cao Cao, who can't even do anything about it now. It is impossible to die. Their brother The three promised that even if there was an accident, they would be sure to save Sikong's life.
To put it simply, without a craniotomy, the patient would be in a vegetative state. If the craniotomy was performed, the patient would remain in a vegetative state at best. If the patient is cured, the patient may be saved.
After hearing this, Chen Xi had a feeling - Cao Cao should not be used as a guinea pig by you.
Hua Tuo and Galen both shook their heads and said no. Only Zhang Zhongjing, the doctor from Laman, hesitated and said that although they had performed several cranial surgeries in Rome, they had never seen such a difficult and complicated disease as Cao Sikong. .
That's right, the key is to gain knowledge. They have never seen Cao Sikong's situation before. It is a new type of difficult and complicated disease. With the moral guarantee of Zhang Zhongjing's medical sage level, Sikong's head is very valuable. , even if it is not saved, it will not die, but at least it can exist as a medical example or something.
To be honest, when I looked at Galen's mouth, he seemed to want to say something like a medical specimen, but Zhang Zhongjing held him down. It was obvious that Zhang Zhongjing's medical ethics was very reliable.
However, Chen Xi couldn't agree to this situation. At that time, Chen Xi thought about taking a look at Kandahar first.
In this situation, if there is a riot, Cao Cao will be punished and killed. This will be considered as an explanation for you to take and cure. If the cure is gone, then I will die without any loss, and I will not even have an explanation.
As a result, the Kandahar side managed to survive the first stage. Of course, the losses on Lao Cao's side could no longer be counted because we no longer knew how much they had lost.
As for the loss of the Cao family, take Liang He as an example. He charged at the Cao family with a sword that night. Even if the Cao family was prepared, it was somewhat powerless to face such professional scouts under the clouds. In addition, Shang Cao Ang ordered not to kill anyone, and on the first day, someone in the Cao family died.
Mrs. Ding and Cao Shuo were killed directly by Liang He
When he received the news, Chen Xi was numb. This could not be described as an accident. Chen Xi could not imagine how Liang He did it, but Mrs. Ding was indeed beheaded by Liang He. She was Cao Cao's first wife. It is also Cao Ang's core support as the crown prince.
In short, the investigation said that after Liang He was carried back to consciousness by Xu Yuan, he sharpened his sword in his yard until Yueying appeared, and then entered Kandahar with the sword.
Regarding sword sharpening, Chen Xi specifically asked the old man Shilong who was the gatekeeper of the Chang'an Palace. He said that sharp warriors can really put their minds on the sword when sharpening their swords. The so-called Tibetan God is an evolution of this foundation, but it is different from Zhu Dun's original In the same way, if you sharpen the sword, the sword will be sharpened.
It was obvious that Liang He no longer wanted to live. That night he entered Kandahar with his sword in hand, entered through Cao's back room, then passed through four doors and entered the inner courtyard.
After entering the inner courtyard of Cao's family, he rushed towards Cao Cao's wife, children and family members. Although he was discovered by Cao's guards before entering the inner courtyard, probably before entering the inner courtyard through three gates, but on the one hand, Liang He was under the influence of the cloud. The speed was fast enough. On the other hand, Cao Ang had already ordered not to kill him.
In this case, I am afraid that only the top shield guards are qualified to communicate with such gods. Although the guards of the Cao family are quite strong, they are not tiger guards. They already have the heart to die when faced with it. The same monster with a certain amount of foresight did not step on a trap, and without knowing the way, it fell directly into the inner courtyard of the Cao family. Even if the Cao family guards reacted, it would be too late to deal a cruel blow. 17 chops, all the sharp men with divine will entered the yard, and ordinary people blocked it with their heads. Liang He beheaded Mrs. Ding with one blow with his sword. When Dian Wei arrived, Liang He stood indifferently with his sword in a group of people. Among Cao's guards, Cao Ang's half-brother Cao Shuo's head was eight meters away from his body.
"The thief Cao killed my wife and children. I will kill his wife and children." Liang He said indifferently as he watched Dian Wei fall in front of him. If he wanted to kill more, he could actually do it. The sword of no return could not effectively stop him. At this time, one top warrior was enough to slaughter most of Cao Cao's inner courtyard.
It's just that Liang He felt that Cao Cao was a beast, and he couldn't be a beast. He killed Cao Cao's wife and children, and his wife and children could not be resurrected. It was just revenge. Gongyang's righteousness was only to avenge a grudge, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. In Liang He's view, this level of behavior was just to make him face his wife and children under Jiuquan.
Dian Wei's face was unusually gloomy. Xun Yu and others thought that Liang He would take revenge, but they never expected that it would be so quick and effective.
Soon Cao Ang came over with a group of people. Looking at his biological brother who was eight meters away from his head, and looking at Mrs. Ding who raised him as his own son but was now divided into two halves, Cao Ang's reason evaporated and he roared. He rushed towards Liang He and wanted to kill Liang He, but was held tightly by Xia Houshang and Cao Zhen.
"Young Master Ang, you are very angry, aren't you? This is how I felt when I heard you say you wanted to compensate me. What do I need to compensate for now?" Liang He was very calm, while Cao Ang rushed towards Liang He with blood-red eyes. , but was grabbed by Cao Zhen and then knocked unconscious by Dian Wei.
Liang He died in prison, not because he was killed by Cao, but because he lost his belief in living. After the divine will hid the sword, the divine will was broken, and then he went on the road so peacefully. The problem was that Liang He died in prison. After peace, Cao Ang almost went crazy!
For the first time, Cao Ang clearly understood what his father had done, and he also clearly understood what hatred is. It is not something you can explain with a sentence of compensation or an apology. It is something that really needs to be paid with blood. .
It is precisely because he understood this and that Cao Ang no longer had anyone to take revenge on, because the reason for Liang He's revenge was that Cao Cao killed
His whole family was wiped out, and now that Liang He died after killing Mrs. Ding and Cao Shuo, there was no one to take revenge on, and Cao Ang began to face it all.
