Cao Wu started to ask, and Zuo Ci was ready to tell him the two things he revealed.
However, as soon as Cao Wu opened his mouth, his train of thought was disrupted.
"Situ Wang Yun, the only person in his family who escaped was his nephew Wang Ling. On the day of the house raid, Wang Ling was still young and secretly escaped over the wall. Of the more than 300 members of the Wang family, he was the only one who escaped. . These days, I have been looking for him, and now I have clues, so you don’t need to worry about this matter. "
After hearing what Cao Wu said, Zuo Ci shook his head helplessly. He thought this was a trump card that could persuade Diao Chan, but he didn't expect that Cao Wu had already taken it into consideration.
Diao Chan's eyes were full of tenderness, and while her heart was relieved, she was even more grateful to Cao Wu.
In fact, there is no need to be grateful for the relationship between them. She cared about her adoptive father's family. At that time, Cao was unable to prevent Wang Yun from having his house ransacked, but he always paid attention to the survivors of the Wang family. This kind of friendship cannot be summed up in words.
After explaining this matter, Cao Wu started to ask questions.
"The first question is, in the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu rebelled. At that time, I transferred Dian Wei away from my brother Cao Mengde's army. Why did he still appear there in the end? Why did he still die that night?"
Zuo Ci was startled, this was completely different from what he wanted to say.
He frowned and recalled, finally remembering the memory from many years ago, and said solemnly: "I didn't do this."
There was a "pop", and Zuo Ci said "ouch" again. This time, it was not Cao Wu who did it himself, but Asan's scabbard hitting the back of his head.
He turned around and saw that Ah San was still in the same posture as looking at the moon just now. The position of the sword and the movements of his hands were the same as before. If it weren't for the pain on the back of his head, he would have suspected that the beating just now was an illusion.
This was Cao Asan's way of telling him that if she was going to take action, Zuo Ci would not be able to hide away.
"It's really not me...General Jianzhong must have rebelled, otherwise Cao Cao would have taken Jingzhou in advance, and there would be no future situation. So Dian Wei must die, and Cao Ang must die as well. But this matter was definitely not done by me."
Zuo Ci said aggrievedly.
It seemed that only then did he remember that this matter was also related to his eldest nephew, Cao Pi's brother Cao Ang, and Cao Wu fell into a trance.
He was a young man who did things in a strict and orderly manner, and was very boring. But it was he who followed Cao Cao in the Northern and Southern Wars at the age of twelve or thirteen. He had great prestige. Unfortunately, he died on that night of blood and fire in Nanyang, and was lost. Dian Wei, who had taken both halberds, went to die together.
"Who did that? I asked Ah Qibu to calculate it, but it didn't work."
"It could be Ge Xuan, it could be Yu Ji, or it could be Zixu, Nanhua, Sima Wei..."
Zuo Ci said several names in one breath.
Cao Wu frowned when he heard Sima Hui's name.
"Is it that hermit Sima Hui? He is also in the same group as you?"
"We are not a group. We are just ensuring that the historical trend must move forward on the normal track."
"What is a normal track?"
"Everything comes from where it comes and goes where it comes. For example, what happened in Jingzhou, the Battle of Chibi should have resulted in Cao's army being defeated, and Jingzhou should have been divided between Sun and Liu, otherwise the power of the Three Kingdoms would not have been possible."
Cao Wu smiled contemptuously: "Is it possible that the people of this world have to go through troubled times and take decades to unify?"
Zuo Ci shook his head: "The general trend of the world is that if it unites for a long time, it will divide, and if it divides for a long time, it will unite. This is a certain number. Three hundred years before the Han Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, it has been a inevitable trend. What you don't understand is that the study of prophecy is not a lie, it is a law."
"The so-called historical cycle rate?"
Cao Wuyi raised his eyebrows.
"Historical cycle rate..."
Zuo Ci chewed on the word with a solemn expression, and then said: "That's true. This is the historical cycle rate."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Wu waved his hand, Asan's sword hit Zuo Ci on the back of the head.
Zuo Ci didn't understand why he was beaten. He covered his head and looked at Cao Wu innocently.
After being beaten several times in a row, the back of his head had become swollen. The bulging look on the back of his head made him look like an immortal from later generations.
Cao Wu looked at him seriously and said: "The so-called periodic rate, then the people of the Central Plains must not have enough to eat, lack of warmth, suffer from military disasters, and endure hunger and cold?"
"Does the so-called periodicity mean that there are only a few million people left among tens of millions, there is no smoke in a hundred miles, and nine out of ten houses are empty?"
"The so-called cyclical rate means that Wu Huanhua must be destroyed, and the children of the Han family will be humiliated and turned into two-legged sheep?"
"You haven't seen it, but I know it. I know what it's like to travel south in attire and the world is in ruins. I know what it's like to divide the Three Kingdoms into three parts and fight for years."
"You want to protect Liu Xuande, and you want to conquer three parts of the country? Do you know how miserable it will be in the end when the men of Yizhou have to fight and the women have to be lucky?"
"Old god, let me tell you, since I am here and can do these things, I must do them!"
With every word he spoke, his momentum became stronger. Zuo Ci was left speechless and paralyzed on the ground.
Zuo Ci had actually considered what he said, but he didn't care, because he felt that he was an immortal who understood everything and should maintain the order of the world, and this order was the so-called historical cycle rate.
But Cao Wu uncovered the dangers of this periodic law and laid it out in front of him.
Zuo Ci opened his mouth and said tremblingly: "You...you are indeed not from this era, you admitted it yourself!"
He thought he had exposed something big, but when he looked around, Ah San seemed to be too lazy to listen to what they were saying, while Diao Chan, even if she understood, would only turn to Cao Wu. Moreover, Diao Chan had already noticed this. Not surprising.
Apart from these two people, no one else knows about this place.
Zuo Ci gained some confidence and chuckled: "You admitted it yourself, aren't you afraid that I will tell this matter? I don't believe that Cao Cao is so suspicious and doesn't doubt you!"
He called the prime minister by his real name without any respect at all.
Cao Wuyi smiled: "How can you instigate the relationship between my brother and me?"
Zuo Ci rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know that what happened in Xuzhou back then is related to your life experience, and someone is already investigating it!"
Cao Wu raised his eyebrows.
"In the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian's men. Many children of the Cao family died in this incident. Cao Cao slaughtered several cities in a rage. Others thought he was avenging his father, but some people Tell me, he is trying to cover up something!"
The more Zuo Ci spoke, the more confident he became, pointing at Cao Wudao: "This matter must be related to you! Someone is already investigating!"
Cao Wu was silent for a while and sighed.
"So my brother has known about it for a long time? He is indeed the most evil person in the world... a hero."
He murmured to himself, and after a while, he smiled at Zuo Ci again: "The people you mentioned investigating couldn't be Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, right?"
