Chapter 61 It’s useless to kill the traitors in the country without destroying the traitor army! [Please read and vote monthly]

Cao Cao said it with great generosity in his heart.

But Cao Ang just sat there silently, and after Cao Cao finished speaking, he blurted out.

"My father has fulfilled his righteousness, and you have become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. You have become a loyal and loyal person in the eyes of the world. But have you ever asked your mother if she wants to make sacrifices for the righteousness in her heart?"

"I'm sorry for the offence, but if you go to assassinate Dong Zhuo, no matter whether you succeed or not, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed."

"It's okay if it succeeds. No one in the world will do anything for Dong Zhuo, but our Cao family is missing a pillar."

"If you fail, on the day of your assassination, wanted notices for my mother and I will be posted everywhere. At that time, as long as Dong Zhuo survives, we, mother and son, will have to flee for a day."

"Even my grandfather, who is now very old, will probably have no peace for the rest of his life and will have to hide with him."

"I dare to ask my father, have you ever considered this? How easy is it to not drag down your family?"

His tone was calm and even-tempered.

But the words he threw out were loud and clear.

It struck Cao Cao like a sharp sword, and he was instantly unable to refute and could only respond in silence.

Although he had in his heart the determination to sacrifice his own life for the Han Dynasty and to fight hard no matter what.

But this does not mean that he has no desires and desires and no longer recognizes his relatives.

His children, father and wife were all his concerns, so how could Cao Cao ignore them?

My son's words were true to the letter, and every word made sense.

But the question is, how is it possible for him to give up assassinating Dong Zhuo at this time?

How can one give up halfway on such a righteous matter? How can one be called a man if he is timid?



After a long moment of silence.

Cao Cao swallowed to let his burning throat ease slightly, then moved his body slightly closer to Cao Ang, and then patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.

He said with a tragic look on his face: "It's not that I want to abandon you because of my father's cruelty, but it's because of this country, for the Han Dynasty, and for the common people in the world that someone has to make sacrifices."

"My father is not talented, but he also has a sincere heart and is willing to do such a thing. Why should my son dissuade him?"

"You have grown up now, and your abilities are much better than those of your father. With you here, I can feel relieved for my mother and your grandfather."

"Besides, Dong Zhuo is arrogant, domineering, cruel and cruel. Even if I fail in this assassination, he will not last long in the future. Don't worry that you will be on the run for half your life."

Cao Cao's attitude was very firm.

Although his heart was shaken by the impact of Cao Ang's words, he finally insisted on his own idea and still expressed his intention to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

At this point, Cao Ang also knew that it would be difficult to persuade Cao Cao using conventional methods.

Cao Cao would not give up his heart of loyalty to the Han Dynasty if only moved by family affection. At this moment, in Lao Cao's eyes, dedicating himself to the Han Dynasty trumped everything else.



After thinking for a while.

Cao Ang took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked in a coaxing tone.

"You assassinated Dong Zhuo in order to kill the traitors in the country, support the Han Dynasty, and restore peace to the world."

"But will it work?"

"How can Dong Zhuo be the only ambitious person in the world? If you kill Dong Zhuo today, there will be Li Zhuo tomorrow. Wang Zhuo comes out of nowhere. Can you kill him?"

"Boom!"

Cao Cao slammed his right hand heavily on the table.

Then he raised his eyebrows.

"My son is confused!"

"In the future, there will be Li Zhuo and Wang Zhuo, and accordingly there will be more righteous men going to kill them. Your father is not the only bloody man in our Han Dynasty?"

"If everyone thinks like you, then who is willing to help the Han Dynasty? Wouldn't everyone just lie at home and wait for someone like Dong Zhuo to fall?"

Cao Ang curled his lips.

Obviously he was disdainful of Cao Cao's theory.

"Then according to what you said, whenever there are careerists like Dong Zhuo in the future, they will be killed by assassination, and then we can protect the country and the people, and protect the Han Dynasty."

"With assassins emerging from generation to generation, can the Han Dynasty last forever?"

"Then what kind of army do we need, what kind of generals and soldiers do we need? Why don't we simply raise hundreds or even thousands of assassins? They will assassinate anyone who dares to take the lead."

"The Han Dynasty will be stable for thousands of years!"

Very sarcastic.

Cao Cao couldn't help but point his finger at Cao Ang, but he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

At a loss for words.

After much deliberation, I can't find any objection.

He is not a fool.

How could he not understand what Cao Ang said? To govern a country and eradicate these evil people, you cannot rely solely on assassins.

What should be relied on is the absolute force of the imperial court, the iron fist of the Han government, and the use of royal masters to crush ambitious people.

Relying on assassins can bring long-term peace and stability.

That is nothing more than a fool’s dream!

Cao Cao was so refuted that he didn't know how to reply. He could only sit there with a gloomy expression on his face, turning red and white.

Perhaps realizing that his tone was a little too intense, Cao Ang took a breath and then spoke slowly in a softer tone.

"It's useless for you to assassinate Dong Zhuo!"

"Why did Dong Zhuo act so recklessly in Luoyang and take away lives and deaths? Is it because of him alone? Isn't it because he has the elite soldiers of Xiliang under his command?"

"Getting rid of Dong Zhuo but being unable to do anything to the Xiliang army. What's the difference between that and doing nothing?"

"After all, if Dong Zhuo dies today, a new person in power will appear within the Xiliang Army tomorrow. This person may even do more than Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao remained silent.

After a long time, he sighed.

The breath in my heart suddenly drained away.

If Cao Ang didn't point it out, even if Cao Cao knew about these problems, he would selectively ignore them.

He just wanted to complete the so-called great cause in his heart, which was to assassinate Dong Zhuo, eliminate all the traitors in the country, and restore peace to the world.

But after Cao Ang put the bloody facts directly in front of him, Cao Cao couldn't ignore it.

He couldn't deny it either.

What I did was really of no use at all.

Dong Zhuo is the leader of the Xiliang Army, but he is not the one who maintains the entire Xiliang Army. He also has generals and counselors under him.

Once Dong Zhuo died, there were many generals with the same prestige and military merit who could replace him.

Who knows how the personality of this new leader will compare to Dong Zhuo?

Most likely it won't be much better.

At that time, the cancer was still a cancer, but it just had a different name.

What's the point?

Even if we take into account the worse situation, no one can completely replace Dong Zhuo's position, then the Xiliang army will fall into pieces.

There will be crazy internal fights between each other, and the fight will be dark and bloody, and the unlucky ones will definitely be the ministers and the emperor.

That’s what’s scary!

Cao Cao suddenly laughed at himself.

It turns out that doing nothing yourself is the safest solution at the moment.



ps. One more chapter is added, and the second chapter every day is an odd number. I really can't bear this, so I changed it to an even number.
