"???"

Hearing Yu Bai's words, Ice Empress and the three of them were full of doubts at this moment.

'Cao Thief'? Doesn't this just sound like a piece of trash talk?

Why does it become a spirit?!

Just when Ice Empress wanted to ask more questions, a new picture reappeared on the light curtain above the sky.

In the picture, pictures of a baby being born, to a young man studying, enthusiastically serving the country as an official... fighting on the battlefield, and finally becoming a generation of King of Wei emerged quickly one by one!

Seeing this, the people on the Douluo Continent not only had a general impression of Cao Cao, who was about to become an exposed figure, but also had an initial understanding of the world in which Cao Cao lived.

"It seems that the character exposed this time is an ordinary person without any extraordinary power."

"However, the world in the picture is really an extremely chaotic world. At least judging from these few seconds of the picture, the character Cao Cao exposed this time has been in war almost since his youth. Even until his death, he did not usher in the final peace, war, hey!"

"Yes, just the few war scenes on the screen can make people tremble in their souls. They are battles involving hundreds of thousands of people. In one battle, the number of casualties on both sides is at least over 100,000. And in that part of the world, wars seem to be happening every day, such as Calculating this, in Cao Cao's lifetime, the number of people killed by the war in that world is at least tens of millions... Hey! What a cruel and terrifying world it is! They are all ordinary people, why are they like that?"

"Haha, when ordinary people lose their awe, when their desires are released, the world or Xu Capital will be Destruction!"

"From this point of view, maybe it is not a bad thing for our world to have Soul Power. After all, Soul Master is a minority..."

"..."

Just as everyone was talking about it, lines of neat black writing appeared on the screen above the light screen.

[After "Records of the Three Kingdoms" calls it Chancellor of Han Cao Can, Cao Cao's father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, Cao Teng served four generations of emperors and had a certain reputation. When Emperor Huan of Han was named, he was named Marquis of Feiting. "Records of the Three Kingdoms·Annals of Emperor Wu" said that Cao Song "cannot judge its origins." Cao Song succeeded the marquis of Cao Teng, and became Grand Commandant at the time of Emperor Ling of Han.

Although Cao Cao was born into a wealthy family, after becoming a eunuch, he was still known as "Humble Family" in the eyes of people at the time. This social status motivates Cao Cao to be proactive. As a teenager, he loved reading and read extensively in classics and history, especially military works. He also had unique talents in poetry, calligraphy, and music, almost rivaling those of famous artists, and his martial arts were also very strong.

When he was young, Cao Cao was smart, alert, and had the ability to adapt to changes. He was also willful, chivalrous, and bohemian. He did not cultivate moral character or study academically. Therefore, people at the time did not think that he had any special talents. Some State of Liang, Qiao Xuan and others thought that he was extraordinary. Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao, "The world will be in chaos, and the talents of the world will not be able to save it. The one who can bring peace to peace belongs to the king." Huh? "Nanyang He Yong said to him: "Han Dynasty will be the one who will bring peace to the world!" Nanyang's Xu Shao is known for knowing people. He once said to Cao Cao: "A traitor in peace is a hero in troubled times." In "Records of the Three Kingdoms", he is "A capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times."

Cao Cao showed interest and talent in martial arts in his early years. He once sneaked into Zhang Rang's house. After being discovered by Zhang Rang, he escaped over the wall while dancing with a halberd, and escaped unharmed. He also read a lot of books, especially the art of war. He copied Military Strategies and Tactics from various ancient schools, and his work "Wei Wu's Annotations on Sun Tzu" with annotations of "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" was handed down to the world. These activities laid a solid foundation for his later military career.]

Seeing this, everyone on the Douluo Continent also became very interested in Cao Cao.

Moreover, although they already know the ultimate achievement of Cao Cao's life from the first scene, because of this, everyone is also extremely curious about Cao Cao's extremely wonderful life!

However, at the same time, senior officials such as Shrek Academy, as well as the monarchs and ministers of the four empires, are even more interested in Cao Cao's evaluation of "a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times."

What kind of life can be evaluated like this?!

At the same time, Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with intense interest.

"Military Strategies and Tactics? What kind of military book is "The Art of War by Sun Tzu"? I wonder if it is suitable for this continent?"

Above the sky, the light curtain continues to play,

[Folding comes to the fore

In the third year of Xiping (174), the twenty-year-old Cao Cao was promoted to Xiaolian and entered Luoyang, the capital, as a man. Soon, he was appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang. Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was a place where royal relatives and nobles lived together, and it was difficult to govern. As soon as Cao Cao took office, he declared the prohibition and strict laws and regulations. He made more than ten sticks of five colors and hung them around the yamen. "Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed with the stick." Jian Tu, the uncle of the emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo, broke the ban and walked at night. Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-color stick.

As a result, "The capital kept its traces, and no one dared to offend."

However, Cao Cao also offended Jian Shuo and other powerful people in the dynasty. Due to the relationship between his father Cao Song, he rose up and down, and Cao Cao was transferred to Dunqiu who was far away from Luoyang. Ren Magistrate of Dunqiu. This year, Cao Cao is twenty-three years old. Many years later, Cao Cao wrote in a letter "Admonition to My Son Zhi" to his son Cao Zhi: "I used to be Magistrate of Dunqiu, and I was twenty-three years old. Thinking about what I did at this time, I have no regrets. Now you are also twenty-three years old, so don't be reluctant!"

In the first year of Guanghe (178 years), Cao Cao was dismissed from his official position because his cousin-in-law Marquis Yinqiang Song Qi was killed by the eunuch. After that, I had nothing to do in Luoyang and returned to my hometown Qiao County to live idle.

In the third year of Guanghe (180 years), Cao Cao was recruited by the imperial court and appointed Counsellor. Previously, General-in-Chief Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan planned to kill the eunuchs, but unexpectedly they failed and were killed by the eunuchs. Cao Cao wrote a letter stating that Dou Wu and others were framed for their integrity as officials, which resulted in the court being full of treacherous and evil people, but the loyal and good people were not reused. The words were sincere, but they were not adopted by Emperor Ling of Han. After that, Cao Cao wrote many times to remonstrate. Although there were occasional results, Eastern Han's government became increasingly corrupt, and Cao Cao knew that it could not be corrected.

In the first year of Zhongping (184 years), Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Cao Cao was worshiped as Colonel of Cavalry. He was ordered to join forces with Huangfu Song and others to attack Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan. As a result, Yellow Turban Army was greatly defeated and tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Then it was moved to Chancellor of Jinan. During Chancellor of Jinan's term of office, Cao Cao managed affairs as before. Jinan State has more than ten counties, and the officials in each county are mostly dependent on the powerful, corrupt, perverting the law, and have no scruples. Cao Cao The previous prime ministers all ignored it. Cao Cao took office, vigorously implemented rectification, and dismissed eight out of ten senior officials at once. Jinan was shocked, and corrupt officials fled one after another.

"Politics and religion are flourishing, and a county is peaceful."

It was a time of extreme political darkness in Eastern Han, and there was even a system of buying offices. The imperial court conscripted him back as Administrator of Dong Commandery and worshiped him as Counsellor. Cao Cao refused to cater to the powerful, so he returned to his hometown due to illness, studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and temporarily lived in seclusion.

At that time, the world was in chaos. First, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, joined forces with Xu You of Nanyang, Zhou Jing of Pei State and other local tycoons to plot to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. Wang Fen and others once hoped that Cao Cao would join them, but Cao Cao refused. Wang Fen later committed suicide after being defeated. Then, Bian Zhang and Han Sui from Jincheng County in the northwest killed the governor and the prefect, and led more than 100,000 troops to rebel against the imperial court.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188 years), Emperor Ling of Han established Eight Colonels of the Western Garden in order to consolidate his rule. Cao Cao was appointed Colonel of the Army of the Eighth School Lieutenant because of his family background.

Chenliu raises troops

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189 years), Emperor Ling of Han died, Prince Liu Bian ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager He came to the court to take charge of the government. General-in-Chief He Jin wanted to take advantage of the death of the Ling Emperor and the eunuch's loss of power to kill Ten Eunuchs, but did not get the support of Empress Dowager He. So He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo, then Governor of Bing Province, to Beijing and coerced Empress Dowager He into agreeing. However, this action alerted the snake. Before Dong Zhuo arrived in the capital, He Jin had been murdered by the eunuch. In the same year, September and Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to take charge of the government. They deposed the young emperor of Han Dynasty as King of Hongnong and changed his younger brother King of Chenliu to Emperor Xian of Han. They also sent people to poison King of Hongnong mother and son to death. They called themselves Grand Tutor and specialized in government affairs. Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo was acting rebelliously and was unwilling to cooperate with him. The assassination failed, so he changed his name and escaped from the capital Luoyang.]

Seeing this, everyone on the Douluo Continent finally had a real insight into the evaluation of 'a capable minister in governing the world'!

"What a good guy, with the ability to bring peace to the country through literature and the ability to quell chaos through military force. He even had the courage to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone when all the princes in the hall were scared to death. This is the best that ordinary people can do!"

"How charming is that country called Dahan? Even though the court is already in chaos, there are still young talents like Cao Cao who are willing to risk their lives and fight for it again and again?!"

"I don't understand~ But I seem to be able to see that young Cao Cao's inner enthusiasm for the country called Dahan is disappearing little by little with each experience. I don't know why I have a premonition that this time, Cao Cao escapes from Luoyang, as if he has completely given up on Dahan..."

"..."

Generally speaking, 99% of the people on the Douluo Continent have a great favorable impression of Cao Cao. Especially after comparing the city lords and nobles of their respective empires, the favorability of Cao Cao becomes even higher.

However, the next moment,

[On the way, I met Chen Gong, my father's friend Lü Boshe. He heard the sound of sharpening knives and accidentally killed Lü Boshe's family. He said a saying that has been passed down to future generations, "I would rather betray the world than teach the world to betray me!", and then killed Lü Boshe. Chen Gong left in anger!]

Ah this...

At this moment, most of the people above Douluo Continent were stunned in place.

Everyone in the world can understand the manslaughter of Lü Boshe's family. After all, Cao Cao is being hunted by Dong Zhuo's people at this moment. Under mental stress, it is not incomprehensible to manslaughter others!

Later, when he met Lü Boshe himself, he took action to kill him again. The world could also find an excuse for Cao Cao to eliminate the root cause without leaving any future troubles!

However, when Cao Cao said "I would rather let the world down than let the world down me!" came out, everyone on the Douluo Continent froze in place!

At this moment, their views on Cao Cao suddenly changed!

Perhaps, they have never understood Cao Cao!

In other words, they are just ordinary people and have never understood the character of a real Warlord!

Shrek executive. "Cao Cao, this is a truly dangerous person. If he is in the Douluo Continent, even an ordinary person without any Soul Power can at least become a Warlord!"

Sun Moon Empire Prince, Xu Tianran: "I would rather let the world down than let the world down me! Hahaha... Not bad! Not bad! This sentence simply means that it touches the heart of this prince! What he said is really right! Hahaha..."

Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling, Star Luo Empire Chaotang: "For such a dangerous person, after the exposure is over, his reincarnation must be found as soon as possible, and then all forces will be dispatched to kill him immediately! He cannot be allowed to survive!"

The chaos of the world cannot affect Heavenly Dao Rankings's exposure of Cao Cao's life. Above the light curtain, new scenes continue to play!

[After Cao Cao arrived at Chenliu, he "scattered his family's wealth and formed a voluntary army", and initiated the voluntary army to call on the heroes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo.

In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), Yuan Shu and others recommended Administrator of Bohai Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao was appointed as agent General Who Inspires Awe to participate in the challenge against Dong Jun.

In February, Dong Zhuo, who was defeated by the coalition forces, forced Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an, while he burned the palaces, dug up royal tombs, and plundered the people, leaving a 200-mile radius of Luoyang desolate and desolate. And Guandong Coalition is afraid of the combat power of Dong Zhuo's elite Liang Province Army. No one dares to advance to Kansai, and all troops are stationed in the Suanzao area. Cao Cao believed that Dong Zhuo "burned the palace, robbed the emperor, and shocked the whole country" and should take the opportunity to fight with him, so he led the army westward alone. Cao Cao traveled to the Xingyang Bian River and clashed with Dong Zhuo general Xu Rong. Due to the huge disparity in the number of soldiers, Cao Cao was defeated. Most of the soldiers were killed or injured. He himself was also injured by stray arrows. Fortunately, he was saved by his cousin Cao Hong and survived.

Returning to Suanzao, Cao Cao suggested that all armies should seize key areas and then divide their forces westward to Wu Pass and besiege Dong Zhuo. The Kanto generals refused to comply. The Kwantung armies were named Dong Zhuo, but they actually had their own hidden agendas and were waiting for opportunities to develop their own power. Soon, friction broke out between the armies and they fought with each other. The Union Army was thus disbanded.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Cao Cao defeated Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Yu Fuluo, etc. in Dong Commandery. Yuan Shao represented it as Administrator of Dong Commandery.

In the third year of Chuping (192), Qing Province Yellow Turbans made great progress, continuously defeated Yan Province counties, and defeated Inspector of Yan Province Liu Dai. Chancellor of Jibei Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as Governor of Yan Province. Cao Cao and Bao Xin join forces to attack the Yellow Turbans. Bao Xin died in battle.

Cao Cao "Set up surprise ambush and fight day and night", and finally defeated the Yellow Turbans. That winter, more than 300,000 soldiers were surrendered and the population was over one million. Cao Cao collected its elite and formed an army, named Qing Province Army. He also helped Yuan Shao defeat the armies of Liu Bei, Shan Jing and Tao Qian.

In the spring of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, Black Mountain Bandits, and Southern Xiongnu in a six-hundred-mile pursuit by Kuangting. Governor of Xu Province Tao Qian led the army to attack Rencheng in the south of Yan Province. Cao Cao led the army to conquer Tao Qian and captured more than ten cities of Xu Province.]

No matter what people on the Douluo Continent said before, when the tragic and terrifying wars in the picture were staged, everyone in the world shut their mouths in silence!

But at the same time, countless men felt a deep admiration for Cao Cao from the bottom of their hearts.

That kind of commanding attitude on the battlefield, with all kinds of tricks and tricks taking turns, and the art of war is vividly interpreted, no passionate man can refuse!
