Chapter 641: I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it!
Cao Cao frowned tightly and stared at Liu Xie. He was breathing heavily and his nostrils were dilating and shrinking. Liu Xie seemed to be able to see the white column of air spurting out of Cao Cao's nose.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and pointed his right index finger directly at Liu Xie:
"Han Sui conspired to rebel, Zhang Lu was in chaos, Chang'an was besieged, the great Han Dynasty governor Zhong Yao was facing the death of his country, Xiliang Zhonglie Ma's family fought a last-ditch battle - tens of thousands of soldiers faced death, and hundreds of thousands of people lived and died with Chang'an...
But behind all of this! It was caused by your personal grudge, Liu Xie! What crime should you have, Liu Xie! How should you apologize to these innocent people who were almost killed in the war!"
"I, Cao Cao, raise an army to fight against the troubled times, whether we win or lose! What I want is a clear conscience! The world says that I am holding the emperor hostage, and that I am Dong Zhuo second, but I will not argue with them! I, Cao Cao, am standing here! If they want to kill, come here
kill!"
"You, Liu Xie, have been wandering around and been an idle prince for half your life, and you were promoted to the throne. You hate me, Cao Cao, for being treacherous and treating you like a creature. Then come and kill me yourself! Use your power and all you can mobilize
Use your strength to kill me! Kill me to death, and the world will be yours!"
Swish——
A flash of silver light suddenly flashed from the temple.
With a bang, the three-foot green sword was placed in Cao Cao's hands.
Just this evil spirit almost made Liu Xie suffocate. He screamed, thinking that Cao Cao was going to kill him. His robe was tangled on the ground, and suddenly something got caught on the edge, and there was a hiss - the luxurious dragon robe was torn away.
of dilapidation.
How dare Liu Xie stop?
He wanted to cry and beg for mercy, but his throat seemed to be stuck. He couldn't even breathe smoothly except for swallowing.
However, Cao Cao did not kill him, but instead——
Bang...the long blade landed with a crisp sound. Cao Cao stepped on Liu Xie's clothes exposed at his feet and spread his hands towards Liu Xie.
"Sword! Get the sword!"
Liu Xie burst into tears, his face so distorted that he couldn't look straight at it.
It was only Cao Cao's roar that forced him to do as he was told. Liu Xie picked up the sword tremblingly. It was thick and cold, and the touch of the hilt came from his hand. The sword was not heavy... but it was full of blood.
Cao Cao didn’t know how many people he killed with this sword, but now——
"The truth is here! Kill me! The opportunity is here! Kill me!!"
Liu Xie's hands began to tremble, and his wails could be heard outside the hall door, causing a commotion outside the door - apparently Fu Shou Fu Wan heard Liu Xie's voice.
But what about Liu Xie?
Liu Xie left office with his hand in hand, even though the tip of the sword was already pointing towards Cao Cao's neck - but he still did not have the courage to take action, bang - there was another sound... the sword fell to the ground, Liu Xie shook his hands, covered his face with one hand, and raised his head with the other.
He waved in front of him, as if he wanted to push Cao Cao away.
"I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!!"
Cao Cao angrily trampled the remaining table board in front of him, and he took a few steps to Liu Xie's side. Liu Xie was frightened, missed a step, and fell directly to the ground.
Even so, he still crawled back from the ground, as if Cao Cao was the ferocious beast that wanted to eat him up.
"You don't even dare to kill me when I stand in front of you——"
"You still dare to say that all this is out of your resentment towards me? Do you still dare to use these as the reason why you can hurt those innocent people at will!!"
Cao Cao shouted out his anger - he was angry that Liu Xie clearly resented him, but he wanted to vent his anger on others. He hated that Liu Xie could clearly express his anger on himself, but he wanted to hurt the people of Chang'an and Zhong Yao -
—
To hurt his most important friend Yi Xiaotian and his family.
This is the reason why Cao Cao is really angry - in order to achieve hegemony, Cao Cao will really let go of any figure and lower all principles, but only when it comes to Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao will not show any tolerance.
This is the brother he has given his life to. To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to call Yi Xiaotian the most important person in Cao Cao's life.
Yi Xiaotian is Cao Cao's bottom line. Obviously, Liu Xie did something wrong.
It’s not that Cao Cao is hypocritical, it’s a fact that Liu Xie almost caused the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in Chang’an——
But in the era of war and chaos, compared to some people with truly extraordinary talents, the death of ordinary people seems to have become the norm.
Here in Cao Cao, or in the Cao Wei camp, if something happened to Yi Xiaotian, it would be far more terrifying than losing a hundred thousand households——
Because once Yi Xiaotian is gone, the foundation of rule that Cao Cao has built before will most likely be overthrown one day.
By then, the dead will no longer be counted in units of one hundred thousand——
The wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, starting from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, have led to a situation where only four or five groups can still be called powerful in the world. All the foundations laid by the Han Dynasty for this land have been almost destroyed in one fell swoop. From millions of people to
Households numbering tens of millions, up to millions, or less than 10 million, who can support these innocent people of Dawn and avenge them?
nobody.
But if we want to end this era, we can only unify.
Cao Cao might be able to do it, Sun Quan might be able to do it, and even Liu Bei, who doesn’t even have a city at the moment, might be able to do it——
But if you tell Cao Cao now about Liu Xie, you risk letting the world go back to the days of more than ten or even decades ago, to the era when the situation was unclear and dozens or even hundreds of forces took turns fighting.
Taking risks, he planned an unprecedented chaotic plan, but the purpose was just to revenge himself——
He also almost harmed Yi Xiaotian's family members such as Cai Zhaoji, Diao Chan and others who were trapped and died in the city——
How could Cao Cao not be angry? How could he not be angry?
——
Outside the palace were guarded by Cao Chun, Guanglu Qing and a group of forbidden troops. At the foot of the stairs was Fu Shou, who was crying in his father's arms. They tried to force their way in and begged for mercy, but Cao Chun was extremely cold-blooded and did not give in at all.
Plan to open.
Just now, everyone heard a loud sound in the hall. Fu Shou, who was worried and frightened, suddenly became dizzy and fell directly into his father Fu Wan's arms.
After Fu finished, he held his head high, closed his eyes, and kept mumbling something, probably praying for Liu Xie's safety——
——
"Prime Minister...you...where did you get the news? Could it be that the Prime Minister thinks that I planned Han Sui and Zhang Lu's rebellion? There is no basis for it! If there is no evidence...If there is no evidence! I...I can't
I’m really going to get angry!”
"Angry? Your Majesty, don't be nervous... Of course there is no evidence for the truth right now... But... Your Majesty, why don't you think about why the truth knows about your Majesty's conspiracy... Obviously..."
Cao Cao sneered, approached Liu Xie who was retreating, and said softly:
"Could it be that someone leaked His Majesty's secret?"
After saying this, Liu Xie twitched all over, as if he had a convulsion:
"Han Sui..."
Cao Cao squatted down slowly, not paying attention to what Liu Xie said. He picked up his sword from Liu Xie's side, turned around, and left.
"The truth is, there is no evidence...but there are people who have evidence..."
After leaving these words, the door of the hall opened and Cao Cao disappeared at the end.
Two people hurriedly came from outside the door, but Liu Xie... had no intention of caring about them anymore——
"Han Sui... you... deserve to die..."
After saying that, Liu Xie spurted out a mouthful of blood mist, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.
