Cao Cao died, as expected...

But this expected thing made Liu Chuang feel sad.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he heard the news, he did not feel any joy, but instead felt a sense of loss and melancholy. Cao Cao died, sixteen years ahead of the original history... To be honest, Liu Chuang admired Cao Cao. During the several duels with Cao Cao, the two even felt a sense of mutual appreciation. If it were not for the current situation, he would probably not be willing to fight against each other. Just as Liu Chuang said to Cao Cao outside Guanjin City: At this point, everyone has no way out.

The next day, Liu Chuang took Cao Xian and Cao Zhang straight to Weishi.

The good news of Xu Du's victory came, but it did not attract any attention from Liu Chuang. Now he just wants to accompany Cao Xian and worship Cao Cao again.

After leaving Xingyang, I walked all the way.

When passing Guandu, Liu Chuang ordered the carriage and horse to stop for a night and took Cao Zhang to the Guandu battlefield.

The traces of the Yuan and Cao battle in the past are almost gone... Previously, Cao Cao wanted to have another decisive battle with Liu Chuang in Guandu, so he also demolished the camps of Cao and Yuan Chuang and rebuilt them. Therefore, most of the remaining ones on the Guandu battlefield were waste. Cao Zhang and Dianman followed Liu Chuang and wandered on the Guandu battlefield, but their eyes were red involuntarily...

"My father-in-law is very talented, but he is not an ordinary person.

If he hadn't been the first to launch the king's courage and fight against Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty might have been gone. During his lifetime, his father-in-law was worried about the Han Dynasty. In the battle of Guandu, he won the more with less, so that he could have the prosperity of the Central Plains. Whenever he thought about his father-in-law's heroic posture, I always felt that the gap was far. What his father-in-law did was the Han Dynasty. Now I should make a vow here that I will protect the Han Dynasty for a hundred years and a thousand years of stability, and will live up to his father-in-law's entrustedness."

Cao Zhang nodded repeatedly, his eyes flushed, but he shouted: "Brother, I will definitely help you."

The reason why Liu Chuang said these words naturally had his exams. Among Cao Cao's philosophers, Cao Zhang was relatively simple. If Liu Chuang wanted to control the Cao family's troops, Cao Zhang would have to make great use of it. In comparison, Cao Pi was originally the most suitable spokesperson for Cao's family, but he was too thoughtful. Even if Liu Chuang knew how to use Cao Pi, he would not dare to entrust important tasks. To put it nicely, this is also the best way to protect Cao's family. Even if Liu Chuang respects Cao Cao, if Cao Pi threatens his position, he would suppress Cao without hesitation.

A passionate Cao Zhang who is relatively easy to fool, and a calm Cao Pi who is meticulous and talented...

Choose one of the two, and Liu Chuang first chooses Cao Zhang.

As for Cao Zhi, Liu Chuang didn't care about Cao Cao's fifth son Cao Chong, the Cao Xiaoxiang who was said to be a figure in later generations. Although Cao Chong is young, but his talent is extraordinary, Liu Chuang would not take it lightly. Fortunately, during the Xudu Incident, Cao Chong and Cao Xiong died in the chaos of the army, which also made Liu Chuang breathe a sigh of relief. Next, as long as he keeps Cao Pi tight, he will be enough to prevent it.

After commemorating on the Guandu battlefield, Liu Chuang took Cao Zhang and Dian Man back to the camp.

There was nothing wrong all night, and after dawn, Liu Chuang and others set off again and arrived outside the city of Weishi in the evening.

The last time Liu Chuang came, Cao Hong led his troops to siege. At that time, the entire Cao army had extremely strong hostility towards Liu Chuang. This time, Liu Chuang stepped into the Wei family again, but the situation improved a lot. Most of the important officials of the Cao family went out of the city to welcome Liu Chuang. Under the leadership of Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren lined up outside the Wei family to wait for Liu Chuang to arrive.

It can be said that except for Cao Pi and Cao Peng who were not in the Wei family, most of the remaining ministers of the Cao family came to welcome Liu Chuang.

Seeing this, Cao Cao must have given some advice before his death. Otherwise, the Cao family would not have mobilized all the troops like this.

"Xun Yu, pay homage to the emperor."

Xun Yu brought important civil and military officials to Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang quickly dismounted and stopped Xun Yu and others, "Shishu Xun should not be polite. Now he came to Weishi, but he did not come as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but actually to worship his father-in-law as half of his son... Fortunately, Xu Du has taken it down, and Jin Yi and other murderers have been awarded the title, which is considered to avenge half of his father-in-law. I came this time, and brought Yuwa and Ziwen to him, and Liu Xing has also come! Although he is young, I still hope that he will worship his grandfather. I think my father-in-law will be very happy in the nine springs."

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and immediately understood Liu Chuang's intention.

On the surface, Liu Chuang came to worship Cao Cao, but in fact he came to completely subdue the Cao team. With half of his son, it was equivalent to bringing the Cao family closer together. And Liu Xing's arrival was equivalent to giving Cao people a hope... This child will become the protective umbrella of Cao's family. Although Liu Xing still doesn't know anything now, his appearance will reduce everyone's hostility a little.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Liu Chuang was able to achieve what he has today.

In the past, everyone underestimated this guy, thinking that Liu Chuang was a reckless man... including Xun Yu, he also thought so. But in fact, this kid is definitely a hero, a hero who is not inferior to Cao Cao at all. To a certain extent, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao are very similar. Perhaps it is this reason that prompted Cao Cao to finally make up his mind and order Cao to follow Liu Chuang.

"Wenruo, the biggest mistake you and I have in this life is to underestimate Liu Chuang.

Wenhe once suggested that I kill this person in Xudu, but I didn't listen. You also wanted to keep this person at that time, thinking that he would not be able to achieve the weather. But in the end, we both fell into the hands of this boy. Although I was not very convinced, I had to admit that his ability to achieve this today was his ability... Just by his methods of turning the world in the northern border, he would be enough to be my opponent."

A scene before Cao Cao died suddenly echoed in Xun Yu's mind.

Cao Cao actually expected that his death date had arrived that day, so after explaining to others, he specifically kept Xun Yu.

"If I don't die, Zihuan is the most suitable candidate.

But now, my life is not long. After I die, Zihuan must not be the lord of the Cao family... He is too thoughtful, and Meng Yan is also a suspicious person. Once Meng Yan becomes suspicious of Zihuan, my Cao family will be in a state of no return. That kid is definitely a ruthless man. He values ​​the team I left behind, but at the same time, he will also be wary of the team I left behind.

The stronger Zihuan's ability, the more dangerous the Cao family is.

After much thought, I decided to let Ziwen take over the Cao family's lintel... The child was relatively simple, had a good impression of Meng Yan, and had a very close relationship with Yuwa. He was in charge of the Cao family. Maybe he would not have the prosperity of the Cao family, but he could protect the Cao family's wealth."

If Liu Chuang said he would accomplish great things, the Cao family would be a royal relative.

The prosperity in Cao Cao's mouth refers to achieving great things! Cao Pi is a person who does great things. If it weren't for Liu Chuang, he could have taken over the Cao family's lintel. But the problem is that with Liu Chuang, he would not be able to tolerate a Cao Pi who can do great things. That would be a disaster or a blessing for the Cao family. Once Cao Pi touched Liu Chuang's interests, I believe Liu Chuang would not be ruthless. On the contrary, a simple Cao Zhang could be accepted by Liu Chuang. If Cao Zhang took over the Cao family's lintel, it would be a blessing for the Cao family...

Perhaps, this would be a little unfair to Cao Pi.

But where are there so many fair things in this world?

Xun Yu also agreed with Cao Cao's words very much.

Liu Chuang was only twenty-six or seven years old, and he had plenty of time to manage his foundation. How could he tolerate a tiger that would threaten his status?

"Wenruo, help me!"

Cao Cao held Xun Yu's hand tightly and whispered: "Stay here, stay by Meng Yan's side.

If you stay, it will definitely be of great use and will be more helpful to Ziwen. I know that Ziwen is sometimes too simple and needs someone to help.

Wenhe is good at protecting himself and will not interfere in the matter. After thinking about it, only you can protect the Cao family and help Ziwen take over the Cao family. Without your help, even with Meng Yan's support, Ziwen would inevitably encounter various troubles. He must be young and is not the eldest son... Without your help, it would be difficult for him to truly convince everyone."

Xun Yu originally planned to retire and return home after Liu Chuang officially took over the Cao team.

However, Cao Cao's sincere request made him unable to refuse.

Looking back at that time, Cao Cao first occupied Dongjun. Xun Yu was only thirty years old at that time, and came from Hebei and joined Cao Cao's command... In a flash, more than ten years passed, and the two of them were able to say that the king and his ministers complemented each other. Although the two had conflicts and even had grudges with each other, Xun Yu must admit that if there were no Cao Cao, there would be no Xun Wenruo... How could he refuse this affection?

After a long time, Xun Yu sighed softly, "Don't worry, Xun Yu will save a breath and will definitely help Ziwen stabilize the situation."

With his words, Cao Cao was truly relieved.

Now, Xun Yu remembered Cao Cao's advice and had to admit that Cao Cao's decision was indeed very correct. Zihuan's ability and virtue were not bad, but unfortunately, Liu Chuang already had a Liu Chuang, so he would not stand up. Seeing Liu Chuang helping Cao Xian get out of the car and taking Cao Zhang to meet everyone, Xun Yu also guessed Liu Chuang's idea. It seemed that he wanted to support Cao Zhang up.

In this way, I can only feel wronged Zihuan!

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others were quite embarrassed when facing Liu Chuang.

The two of them were once imprisoned for Liu Chuang. They were originally ready to go home after Cao Cao died, but after Cao Ren and others persuaded him, they remained. However, when facing Liu Chuang, whether it was Xiahou Dun or Xiahou Yuan, they seemed to be very confident.

In contrast, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and Cao Hong are still neither humble nor arrogant.

The three of them also received Cao Cao's advice, so when they saw Cao Zhang, they inevitably had some strange things in their eyes.

As for the others, they are not as complicated as the Cao family.

Jia Xu, Dong Zhao, Wu Zhi, Zheng Hun and others came forward to pay homage to Liu Chuang, and then retreated aside.

Then Liu Chuang changed into mourning clothes outside the city and accompanied Cao Xian to the mourning hall.

Mrs. Bian led the ladies to thank Liu Chuang. When she heard that Liu Chuang was going to stay with Cao Xian to keep a guard with him, a glimmer flashed in Mrs. Bian's dull eyes. She took Liu Xing from Cao Xian's arms, and a kind smile appeared on her face.

With this little man, whether it is the Cao family or the Bian family, it is finally guaranteed!

As for the other ladies, they have different thoughts.

Some show envy, while others remain indifferent.

Before the Xudu Incident, Mrs. Bian's biggest opponent was Cao Chong's mother Mrs. Huan. Cao Chong was killed, and Mrs. Huan's heart was ashamed. At this time, her face was as haggard as an old monk, and she ignored the outside world, as if she was stupid.

Before Cao Chong was born, Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Huan had a very good relationship because they were both from Langya.

However, since Cao Chong was born, Cao Cao was extremely fond of Cao Chong, which made the battle between the two ladies particularly intense... Mrs. Bian arranged for Liu Chuang and others to sit down and guard. The moment her eyes swept over Mrs. Huan, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She suddenly said softly: "Meng Yan, there is something I want to ask for."

"My mother, please speak."

Mrs. Bian said: "The girl in the Huan family has a brother named Huanzhao, who is quite talented.

When Sikong was still there, the Huan family girl suppressed Huan Zhao because she avoided suspicion. On several occasions, the filial and honest people in Langya County were among them. However, the Huan family girl never agreed, so that Huan Zhao could only be a county magistrate for a small county. I dared to ask Meng Yan to help him. If he humiliated his talent in vain, wouldn’t it be a pity?"

It turned out to be an arrangement!

This kind of human nature is also very common in later generations.

However, Liu Chuang saw from this that Mrs. Bian was indeed different.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Huan had a fierce battle before. Now that she has the power, she will definitely suppress Mrs. Huan. However, Mrs. Bian asked Liu Chuang to help her, and Mrs. Huan wanted to find her, so she would not be confident enough.

In other words, Mrs. Bian can control the Cao family's house.

And other ladies will respect Mrs. Bian more because of this matter and obey her arrangements...

Liu Chuang thought for a while, "My mother turned around and asked where Huanzhao was to take office. If he was really talented, he would arrange for him to join the General's Mansion."

"In this way, I thanked Meng Yan for the sake of the Huan family."

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and knelt solemnly in front of Cao Caoling.

Cao Cao's death did cause a lot of turmoil. Liu Chuang only stayed in the mourning hall for one day and saw people coming to worship.

One of them had a deep grudge against Liu Chuang.

After Hedong Wei Ji worshipped Cao Cao in the mourning hall, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he looked at Liu Chuang, and his eyes showed a strong hatred... It seems normal to think about it. The Wei family in Hedong was originally a powerful family in the world. Since the great general Wei Qing, emperors of all dynasties have been extremely generous to the Wei family in Hedong. Even by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei family was no longer as good as before. However, with its profound background, it was still rampant in Hedong, and no one could compare.

But it was precisely because of Liu Chuang that the Wei family in Hedong completely declined.

When the Wei family was driven out of Hedong by Liu Chuang, it was like a rootless floating duckweed, and it could no longer restore the grand occasion of the past.

Even if Cao Cao supported the Wei family and even merged the Chenliu Wei family with the Hedong Wei family, it only stopped the decline of the Wei family.

It is almost zero to restore the grand occasion of the Wei family in Hedong that year.

As the head of the Wei family, it is reasonable for Wei Ji to hold a grudge against Liu Chuang...
To be continued...
