Year 197.
Two years later.
Cao Cao marched south to Wancheng. Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled again. Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses.
His eldest son, Cao Ang, died in the chaos of the army, and Cao Cao retreated North with injuries.
…
Xudu.
Everyone was panicking, and rumors spread everywhere.
In the dim room, the young master who was bedridden suddenly opened his eyes.
"Late Han Dynasty?"
"Cao Cao's second son?"
Cao Shuo suddenly sat up. His half-opened eyes were filled with confusion.
"I really didn't expect that our Lord Cao was killed by Zhang Xiu!”
"Eldest Young Master also died in Wan City. General Xia Hou and the others will definitely choose one of the young masters to be the new master.”
"Our Second Young Master is now the eldest son of Cao Gong. Doesn't that mean that he wants to inherit the throne?”
"Second Young Master is the unfilial son in the eyes of Cao Gong. General Xia Hou and the others will definitely not support Second Young Master as the new master.”
"That's true. Our young master is addicted to wine and sex and has ruined his body. I'm afraid he won't even be able to make it through this year. Sigh ~~"
Outside the door, the servants whispered to each other.
The memories of the two lifetimes quickly merged, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
" Cao Cao actually died in Wan City. Has the trajectory of history changed…"
Cao Shuo muttered to himself.
If nothing went wrong, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren would definitely support Cao Pi as the new master.
Cao Pi was young and did not have Cao Cao's strategy or courage. It was only a matter of time before the Cao family's foundation was destroyed.
Even if Cao Pi was lucky enough to miraculously defeat all the heroes and unify the world.
It was just a wedding dress for the noble family!
The Cao family's territory would sooner or later be seized by the Sima family or other aristocratic families.
After that, the aristocratic families indulged in luxury and the Five Barbarians took advantage of the situation. The land sank, and the Han people became lambs waiting to be slaughtered, suffering from 300 years of oppression.
However…
If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected happened.
"Since I, Cao Shuo, am here, Cao Pi, stand aside!”
Cao Shuo jumped off the sickbed, his eyes flashing with coldness.
What he needed to do next was to become the Cao Family Head.
Cao Ang was the only legitimate son of Cao Cao's wife, Lady Ding. He, Cao Pi, and a dozen other sons were all concubines.
According to the order of succession, once Cao Ang died, he would be the eldest son of the Cao family, and it was only right and proper for him to inherit the throne.
However, the previous 'him' was addicted to wine and sex, rebellious and mischievous. He was the unfilial son in Cao Cao's mouth and the silkpants in the eyes of the officials.
Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and the others might not follow the rules and support him as the new master.
"Ding, host has successfully possessed the body. The Monarch Simulation System is online.”
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
The golden finger had arrived!
"Bind immediately!"
Cao Shuo ordered without thinking.
"Ding! System binding complete. Reward: Novice Gift Pack, Eighteen Knights of Yanyun, 300 White Robe Soldiers.”
" Host, please choose the Overlord model."
A list of options appeared in his mind.
Benevolent Monarch Model, Tyrant Model, Stupid Monarch Model…
"In troubled times, use heavy laws, in peaceful times, use benevolence and righteousness!”
"As a benevolent ruler, the best ending would be to be like Liu Bei, splitting up a small territory.”
"I choose the Tyrant model!"
Cao Shuo clenched his fists, his eyes sharp.
"Ding, Tyrant template loaded.”
"Host, please become an Overlord as soon as possible. Activate the Tyrant skill and unlock the Tyrant talent.”
With a thought, Cao Shuo opened his personal interface.
Name: Cao Shuo
[Age: 16]
[Tyrant Points: 0]
[Tyrant Talent: None]
Tyrant Skill:
[1. Take in a lot of beauties: If you force the system to choose a woman as a concubine, you can obtain the corresponding tyrant points. The tyrant points can unlock talents.]
< 2 >< Sever Punishment >>: Choose a target from the system and use torture to obtain the corresponding Tyrant Points.>
< 3 > Construction: According to the system prompt, use manpower and material resources to build large-scale projects such as palaces to obtain the corresponding Tyrant Points.>
…
The system gave him a series of skills.
Simply put, it was the self-cultivation that a tyrant should have.
He then opened the talent column:
[Heroic bearing: Looks perfect, can greatly increase female admiration]
[Overlord: Obtained the divine power to carry the cauldron. Martial arts upgraded to Xiang Yu's level.]
[Steel Kidney: Durability greatly increased]
…
Cao Shuo was dazzled by what he saw.
" This system suits my taste…"
Cao Shuo muttered to himself, excitement flashing in his eyes.
However, if he wanted to light up his skills and unlock his talent, he had to become the head of the Cao family first.
"Bang!"
Cao Shuo kicked the door open.
The servants who were discussing privately outside the door were all shocked.
Why did this Second Young Master, who had been bedridden for many years, suddenly get up?
He was still full of vigor and vitality, and his entire body was filled with domineering killing intent!
The servants rubbed their eyes, thinking that they had seen wrongly.
Cao Shuo stepped forward and shouted,""Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, where is the White Robe Army?”
Eighteen burly warriors in black appeared in front of him like ghosts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three hundred white-robed soldiers rushed into the courtyard.
The servants were even more dumbfounded. They all thought that this Second Young Master was sick all year round. When did he raise so many private soldiers?
"Follow me to Sikong Manor and seize the throne!”
Their black robes were like the wind, and their white robes were billowing. They surrounded Cao Shuo and flew away.
In a secret room in the Guo residence.
"Sikong, Jia has already followed Sikong's instructions and escorted Sikong's coffin back to Sikong Manor.”
A young scholar half-knelt and reported.
"Fengxiao did well."
Cao Cao's weak body struggled to sit up. He slowly opened his tired eyes, and a sharp gaze instantly filled the entire secret room with coldness.
"What is the reaction from the palace?"
Cao Cao's breathing was low, and he coughed from time to time.
"The Emperor has urgently summoned Dong Cheng into the Palace and had a secret talk with him for an entire night. I don't know what he's plotting."”
"What else could they be plotting?"
"That little Emperor wants to take back his military power and regain his power." Cao Cao snorted coldly.”
In the battle of Wan City, although he had escaped death, he had been shot several times and his injuries were not light. Thus, he had an idea and played this fake death trick.
He announced that he was seriously injured and had died, and ordered Guo Jia to carry the coffin back to Xudu.
He would use this opportunity to secretly observe the reactions of Cao Pi and the other philosophers to test their ability to remain calm and control the situation.
At the same time, he could also lure the snake out of its hole and see how the emperor would react and which anti-Cao officials would jump out.
When the situation was about to get out of control, he would come out to clean up the mess and eliminate those hidden dangers.
"What's the reaction from Sikong Manor?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Everyone in the residence is in a state of panic. All the Furens are in a state of panic, only Furen Bian is still calm.”
"According to the intelligence reports from the Central Military Division, Lady Bian secretly summoned General Yuan Rang and General Zixiao.”
Guo Jia replied as he stood up and supported Cao Cao.
"Madam Bian indeed has some self-control."
Cao Cao nodded slightly." She summoned Yuan Rang and Zixiao to persuade them to support Pi 'er as the new master."”
"As a mother, it's reasonable for her to want to help her son rise.”
"Besides, among all the young masters, only Young Master Zihuan is the oldest. Yuan Rang and General Zixiao will probably support Young Master Zihuan to the throne." Guo Jia chimed in.”
"Fengxiao, you're wrong. Shuo 'Er is my eldest son now.”
Cao Cao reminded.
"It's a pity that Second Young Master is weak and sickly. He's been bedridden all year round. Moreover, with Second Young Master's character, cough cough…" Guo Jia sighed softly.
Guo Jia did not continue.
Cao Cao understood what he meant and shook his head.
That unfilial son had destroyed his own body and his life was in danger. How could he take over the Cao family?
However!
No matter how mischievous he was, he was still his son. As a father, Cao Cao could not help but cry when he thought of his son's imminent death.
After a short period of sadness.
Cao Cao wiped away his tears and waved his hand." Send more spies to monitor the movements of all sides. If there are any signs of the situation getting out of control, report immediately."”
"Yes!"
Guo Jia accepted the order and left in a hurry.
