Xu County, the residence of the general.

"How many times has this been assassinated?"

Cao Cao thought with some anger, and then a little helplessness emerged from his heart. Cao Cao was afraid of death, so he did not die when he was assassinated. Those who were not afraid of death, like Sun Ce, would have died long ago.

The cost of assassination is low and the profit is high, so even though the success rate is very low, there are still people who want to give it a try.

What if, right, what if...

It's like a lottery shop in later generations.

Cao Cao himself couldn't remember how many times he was assassinated. It must have been at least ten times. Sometimes the assassin was one person, sometimes it was a group of people, and then they all shouted, "Kill the evil thieves and punish the traitors."

, Qing Jun’s side has everything, and some people even come to the door by claiming that they can observe the sky, detect yin and yang, and know the future. They hold sharp knives in their arms and then express their desire to chat with Cao Cao alone...

Cao Cao sent them on their way without any ceremony.

Especially those who claimed to know the future, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to put a knife on their necks and ask them if they knew whether they would live or die in the next moment?

Health? Sorry, you miscalculated.

Pull with one stroke of the knife.

puff……

Death? Congratulations, you calculated correctly.

The knife is also drawn in one stroke.

puff……

Ever since the Zhang Jiao brothers started the uprising based on the so-called destiny, Cao Cao hated these pretenders very much, and even issued an order to expel Taoists and clean up Taoist temples at one time. Only later did he restrain himself slightly under the advice of Xun Yu and others.

If everything is destined, then what should we strive for, and what is the use of hard work?

This great Han Dynasty has become extremely corrupt. The emperor has a responsibility, the eunuchs have a responsibility, and the gentry and officials of the current dynasty also have a responsibility!

Everyone is responsible and no one can escape!

In the first half of Cao Cao's life, he only saw everyone, everyone, angrily blaming others and shirking their own responsibilities.

Cao Cao didn't want to be that kind of person, so he tried to do some things and fulfill some responsibilities, but the result...

He set up a five-color stick, and then the eunuch wanted to kill him.

After getting rid of the beetle officials, the big boss will kill him.

After stabilizing the place, his friends wanted to kill him.

He blocks the knife for his brother, and then his brother wants to kill him.

He fought in all directions, and then the emperor wanted to kill him.

It seems that everyone wants Cao Cao to die. They are smiling on the surface, but secretly they are gnashing their teeth and cursing, and even taking action...

Are you really a traitor who has committed all kinds of evil and deserves death?

Cao Cao also admitted that his hands were indeed stained with a lot of innocent blood. To this day, he sometimes dreams of these unjust souls looking at him coldly. However, Cao Cao felt that all the decisions he made along the way

, it was the best and only decision he could make at that time.

Maybe it is indeed wrong...

But that was the only thing I could do at that time, that was all I could do.

The mistake was justified. At least it was justified at the time. Then when I found out that I was wrong, I admitted my mistake, admitted the mistake, and then corrected the mistake. But the problem is that some people do not think they are wrong, and they are even less willing to correct...

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Having reached this point, it was indeed very tiring. For most people, being a general of the dynasty might already be the pinnacle that other than the emperor could reach. But when Cao Cao looked up, he found that the road in front of him seemed to be the same.

Long.

Especially that damn hussar, twisting and turning in front of him with a coquettish pace...

snort!

Naturally, we must continue on our own path.

And if you continue going down, how many more assassinations will you need to go through?

Cao Cao was no stranger to assassination, because he had done it himself.

But just because I have done this does not mean that I will be calm when encountering this problem. It is like a keyboard warrior who likes to criticize this and that for wrongs and does not want to be accused by others with the same attitude.

Everyone likes double standards. Cao Cao is also a mortal, this is normal.

There was a thick layer of powder on his face, which made Cao Cao feel itchy, but he couldn't scratch or move it. After all, the powder in the Han Dynasty did not have as high adhesion as in later generations, so it was inevitable that the powder would fall off whenever he moved, which made Cao Cao, a big UP owner, feel

feeling bad.

"My lord..." Cao Hong walked in, then turned his head and looked outside, "The angel has left the palace..."

The angel is coming.

Not a Western birdman, but an envoy from Liu Xie.

"Who is the envoy?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Hong grinned, "It's the Zhongguan..."

"Zhongguan?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

The assassination of a general was such a big thing. If Liu Xie didn't send someone to "visit", it would definitely be abnormal. But when it came time to send someone, Liu Xie was in trouble. After thinking about it, he finally

He still sent the eunuchs around him, but did not choose to send a minister to visit...

This is very interesting.

"Haha..." Cao Cao sneered twice, then walked to the bed, preparing to lie down pretendingly, but as soon as he lifted the brocade quilt, a strong smell of blood and herbs hit his nose, making Cao Cao couldn't help but hum.

He made two sounds, then sneezed loudly, and some of the powder on his face fell off, "Why does it smell so choking..."

Although Cao Cao complained, his body lay down honestly...

After all, if it weren't for such a strong smell of blood and herbs, it wouldn't be able to reflect Cao Cao's injuries. Wouldn't that be cheating?

"How's Bonin doing?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Hong covered Cao Cao with the brocade quilt and said, "Although we have arrested some, we still haven't found the person in charge..."

Cao Cao snorted, "After the angel leaves, you go to the Chancellor..."

"My lord, what you mean is..." Cao Hong turned to look at Cao Cao, and then pondered for a moment, "A little bigger?"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Bo Ning is not a fool, he knows what to do."

Yes, if Man Chong is not stupid, he must do what Cao Cao wants, otherwise he will be the next to die.

Cao Cao originally planned to direct and act on his own, but unexpectedly a real assassin arrived. Therefore, wouldn't it be a waste if Cao Cao didn't make good use of it?

As for who is behind the assassin, the truth is not that important.

There is no truth, only politics.

Cao Hong nodded slightly, indicating that he had received Cao Cao's message. At this moment, the guard outside the door raised his voice: "Your Majesty! The angel has arrived!"

Cao Cao raised his chin slightly to signal, then lay down and began to moan slightly in pain...

Cao Hong's face also darkened, and he turned around with a worried look on his face to greet the angel instead of Cao Cao.

In fact, the angels from the East and the West have some similarities. The angels from the West have more chicken wings, and the angels sent by Liu Xie lack the chicken heads. Anyway, they are all in trouble with chickens...

Liu Xie's angel is the eunuch of Huangmen, the middle officer of the inner palace, who serves with a pen. Although he has a great reputation, he actually has no rights at all, because Liu Xie himself does not have many memorials to read, so the so-called "serve with a pen" is all that is left.

If you have an empty title, you can't control anything.

But at this moment, the eunuch serving with his pen still represented Liu Xie to some extent, so Cao Hong and others still maintained their due attitude in terms of etiquette, leading the eunuch all the way inward...

"This... this is..." The eunuch saw the large and small tents in the courtyard, as well as some ordinary soldiers sitting or lying in the tents, and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Could these... be...

That day...』

"Exactly, this is the injured guard that day..." Cao Hong said in a deep voice, "We are all warriors! With permission from the general, we will be treated and recuperated together in the mansion."

Cao Hong's voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, so the soldiers could hear it. All of a sudden, the soldiers straightened their backs, and even their originally painful moans were slightly lowered.

The smell of blood is very strong when one person is recovering from his injuries, let alone so many people gathered in the front yard of the General's Mansion?

In addition, the doctors from Jinchuangke are also treating the wounds, this smell...

Being accustomed to serving in the palace, he subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and then immediately realized that this action was wrong. He quickly put it down and tried to cover it up with a dry laugh in embarrassment, but it still attracted many soldiers.

gaze.

By letting these injured soldiers rest in the palace and enjoy the care of the general's doctors, they can naturally get better herbs and food, which in some ways enhances the survival rate of these soldiers. Cao Cao made such a move,

On the one hand, it can be seen as Cao Cao buying the morale of the soldiers; on the other hand, it is Cao Cao's reward for the loyalty of these soldiers.

Or is there another explanation?

Bingbi's eyes rolled twice, and he didn't know what he thought of...

Generally speaking, loyalty should naturally be rewarded. Otherwise, who will be loyal next time?
To be continued...
