Cao Cao, the man he hated so much, died unexpectedly.

He died on the same day as King Xiang.

Is this a solid proof that the rebellious officials and thieves will not die well?

"Liu Zhong, did you hear that, Cao Cao is dead, Cao Cao is dead!"

It was the first time Liu Zhong saw Liu Xie like this. He was as excited as a child, yelling, not at all like the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. Although Cao Cao is dead, his party members are still spread all over Xuchang and the entire palace. If they hear about it, disaster may be imminent."

The expression on Liu Xie's face froze suddenly.

As Liu Zhong said, although Cao Cao died, Wei State did not fall apart. Wei State still had his sons and ministers who were loyal to him.

Everything is still the same, he is still a puppet.

"No! No! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Just as Liu Xie was roaring, a four-wheeled vehicle suddenly appeared outside the palace.

Surrounded by many generals, a young man walked into the hall.

"Now is not the time to go to court. Did King Wei miscalculate the time?"

Cao Ang looked coldly at Liu Xie who was sitting on the throne in front of him and said indifferently: "I have something to do at home, I hope His Majesty will not cause trouble for me these days. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Could it be that you still want to kill the king?"

"The widow is not the former king, and he will treat your majesty so kindly. If your majesty often causes trouble to the widow, the widow is not afraid of being a king-killing minister."

After finishing speaking, Cao Ang walked out without looking back.

"It's over, it's over, this person will definitely not let me, I'm afraid the world of my Liu family is really over." Liu Xie leaned on the dragon chair blankly, speechless for a long time.

Liu Zhong on the side was powerless and could only wipe away his tears silently.

Chapter 546 Reshuffle

Cao Cao died of illness, and the world was shocked, not only the Wei State, but even the surrounding Nanyang Songjiang and Chang'an Liu Bei fell into silence.

If the world of Kyushu is a balance, then many princes are the weights on both sides of the balance.

Before Cao Cao passed away, the Cao family occupied the eight states of the world, deterring the world.

Now that Cao Cao has passed away, it is rumored that there is a sharp conflict between the new king of Wei, Cao Ang, and the king of Qi, Cao Anmin. The alliance that was originally closely linked may also change because of the relationship between the two of them.

The absolute advantage of the Cao clan has also changed, and its deterrent effect on other princes is not as good as before.

After Cao Ang inherited the Wei Wang Datong, according to Cao Cao's dying intention, he commended the four clan generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong.

Xiahou Dun was still the Great Sima, and Xia Houyuan was granted the title of General of Conquering the West, Cao Ren was granted the title of General of Conquest of the South, and Cao Hong was granted the title of General of Conquest of the East.

On his deathbed, Cao Cao appointed five ministers to support Gu Gu, four of whom were given high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Only Cao Cao's confidant, Guo Jia, one of the five masterminds, was not canonized.

At first everyone thought that Cao Ang had just forgotten it temporarily, but they didn't expect that when the civil servants were appointed later.

Dudu added the title of his father-in-law, Jia Xu as Taifu, superior to Xun Yu and other civil servants, and his status was comparable to the other four Tuogu ministers.

Taifu, although it is only a casual job, but after all, his status is there.

Jia Xu refused to accept it at first, but couldn't stand Cao Ang's repeated persuasion, and finally had to hang up his idle job and stay in the mansion and never go out.

Guo Jia's fall from favor was something that no one expected.

As Cao Cao's favorite counselor, he was disliked by Cao Ang. The speed of honor and disgrace was beyond everyone's imagination.

Fortunately, Guo Jia didn't pay too much attention to these things, and since Xiangxian came back, he has been staying in the mansion without going out.

After dealing with Guo Jia's matter, Cao Ang imprisoned Cheng Yu, one of the original five masterminds, for the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

The charge was colluding with Liu Bei, the leader of the Yongliang Puppet Han Dynasty.

In fact, everyone knew well that Cao Ang was cleaning up the family, taking advantage of cleaning up the veterans to establish his prestige.

Cheng Yu himself was the most vocal supporter of Cao Pi's succession to the Datong.Now, after the end of King Xiang, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang mysteriously disappeared, and a missing person came. Cheng Yu's last hopes were all lost, and he became a victim of the power struggle.

After solving these, Cao Ang is ready to open up the territory drastically.

Although the state of Wei occupies the land of three states, it has no depth. The north and south are all targets of enemy attacks, and defense is extremely difficult.For this reason, in order to avoid a decisive battle with Cao Anmin of Qi State, Cao Ang transferred heavy troops to the southwest, preparing to attack Nanyang Songjiang first.Expand the strategic goal of first west and then east.

Although Song Jiang's territory was small, he was not afraid of the strong Wei's attack at all. Before the Wei army arrived, he began to prepare for the war and took control of the city.

The battle in Nanyang was raging.

Outside Xindu, Xu You, Shenpei, Fengji, and Xin Ping were impatient.

Ever since they completely turned against Yuan Tan and occupied Xindu and Qinghe, they once wanted to take advantage of Yuan Tan's absence in Hebei to destroy Wei County directly and destroy Yuan Tan's lair in one fell swoop.

However, he was defeated by the leaders of Zhang Xi and Gao Lan later, so he had no choice but to return to Xindu and find another way.

Fortunately, at this time, the eldest son of the Zhen family, Zhen Mi, connected them to Chen Qingzhi, the Dingbei General of Qi.

Chen Qingzhi attached great importance to this news and did not dare to delay at all, so he immediately informed Cao Anmin.

If you want to establish northern Xinjiang, you must first take down Jizhou and completely control the land of Hebei.

Cao Anmin paid special attention to this news. In order to appease the hearts of the people in Hebei, he appointed Guanglu Xun Xinpi as his deputy envoy, and Li Ji, General of the Peking University as his main envoy, and personally led the team to move to Xindu.

In Xindu, the heads of the four great families gathered in the Zhen family.

Since Zhen Mi went to Xuzhou to meet Mi Zhu and found a new backer, with Cao Anmin's thigh, the Zhen family became the strongest family in Hebei in an instant.

Although Yuan Xi coveted Zhen Mi's beauty, he didn't dare to break ground on Cao Anmin's head, so he could only let the Zhen family leave Zhongshan and come to Xindu.

"Patriarchs, sit down, sit down!" Zhen Kuan raised his hands and feet with aristocratic demeanor that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Young Master Kuan, I heard that Yuan Tan has returned to Ye City. It won't be long before his army will come north to settle accounts with us." Feng Jili said with a beard.

"Have you heard, this time Yuan Tan is really ashamed and thrown home." The judge looked at the few people nearby and asked.

"Oh, Zhengnan might as well say it out, so that the rest of us can have fun too."

Although the judge has resigned, their judges have their own caravan, and the caravan travels between the Central Plains and Hebei. All news is naturally delivered much faster than others.

"Then Yuan Tan rushed all the way to Xiang County to prepare for the king, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao didn't want to see him at all, even if no one greeted him, and even the door was half open. That kid Yuan Tan originally wanted to take the hot face. It’s a pity that we have not yet entered the city, but we got the news that we have breached Qinghe. The army is scattered like birds and beasts, and the news in Henan is going crazy.”
