Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When two countries fight, the general pattern is to resort to all possible means, even massacres.  The most effective way to annihilate the opponent's effective forces and to weaken the empire's power to the greatest extent is the essence of foreign war. Before the emergence of humanitarian organizations, no germ warfare, poison gas warfare, or nuclear warfare was fought during the European War.  So, what about a battle between two different regimes in a country?  Maybe everyone has their own country, with their own national anthem, flag and national system, but it cannot be denied that they all originally belong to the same species on this land. It cannot be said that the people of the Wei Kingdom are not Yanhuang  The descendants, or the people of the Han Empire, are no longer the descendants of Yan and Huang.  Since we are all compatriots, we cannot play so harshly.  When Liu Ming fought in foreign wars, the ace army always rushed to the front, telling the opponent with the cruelest and bloody facts: "I am not easy to mess with. If you don't want to die, surrender to me, or get away." To deal with Wei Guo,  Liu Ming's first method was to block its economy, causing problems in its economy, which would then trigger internal turmoil. People in the feudal era were the oppressed class, and when they were oppressed to the extreme, they would stand up and resist this move that was brought to them.  Regimes that bring about oppression.  Throughout the dynasties, there will always be peasant uprisings in the last dynasty. Liu Ming planned to artificially manipulate the uprising from the beginning, and then take the opportunity to swallow up Wei as quickly as possible.  But this trick doesn't work. The other party also has capable people who are good at dealing with economic problems. The most worrying thing is that Lao Cao is a contemporary tycoon. He represents the interests of a small number of people. In order to protect this interest, he can do whatever he can to protect this interest.  Solve the problem forcefully.  ??Besides, the world is so big and there are not so many soldiers under Liu Ming's command. Where can we really block it? Rather than spending manpower and material resources to block the Wei economy, it would be more cost-effective to go to war directly.  Based on this consideration, Liu Ming used opium, a relatively taboo drug.  The starting point of this strategy is mainly two points: one is that Lao Cao is a rare tycoon, but his son may not be a tycoon. At least historically, his successor Cao Pi is not as good as Lao Cao, and the subsequent generations are even worse than the previous generation. In the end, the power is lost.  He was usurped by the Sima family.  The other one is that Lao Cao's spirit is too good. He has too much energy to govern Wei, manage his subordinates, and train successors. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't have so much energy?  It is based on these two factors that Fushoudan entered the southern market.  The result was ideal. Lao Cao was taking drugs all day long, and he might be in good spirits, but everything was an illusion. The worst thing was that his direct heir Cao Ang also took drugs. In the end, he suffered from mental problems due to taking drugs and committed suicide directly.  Lao Cao has finally seen through the Fushou Dan thing, but now he has to face the other two biggest and most difficult problems. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the discussion about the yellow gate that has been cut to pieces, of course, the change of a general manager in the palace, just how to deal with the forbidden symptoms at present is a big problem.  Opium is not heroin, so the withdrawal symptoms are not that severe. However, Cao Cao takes drugs every day, much more than others, so the toxins accumulated in his body are naturally greater.  The abstinence symptoms produced after the interruption are naturally much stronger than those of others. Every time Lao Cao has an attack, he feels that he is in unbearable pain. He may have understood some of the reasons why his eldest son chose to commit suicide. If conditions permit, he may also embark on this journey.  That road.  Sometimes, rather than suffering torture, it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible.  As for asking Liu Ming for the antidote, it was not impossible, but he only got one sentence in exchange: "There is no antidote for this elixir, but if you need more elixirs, we can provide them." This thing will kill me.  With a son, Ding gave up her status as queen and reconciled with herself. Who the hell would continue to eat this harmful thing It's just that sometimes when Cao Cao was in pain, he would still take out one of the longevity pills in his inventory.  Eating, the feeling is really not something that most people can bear.  But he also knows that if he eats too much of this stuff, he will really be unable to do without Liu Ming in the future. Maybe he will have to let the people in the north dictate what he wants. If one person is not good, when his illness attacks, the other person will  If you want to hand over the country by yourself, it would be bad if you agree to it.  The only good thing is that the other children have not taken the pills, and the second son Cao Pi is also considered to be both civil and military, and may be qualified for a big job.  ¡°It¡¯s just that I rarely cared about him before. After all, the main resources were placed on Cao Ang. Now that I want to choose the prince, I must gradually assess his character and even the conduct of other sons.  Lao Cao doesn¡¯t want a certain son to be unable to tolerate his other brothers after he comes to power.It would have been easy to just kick off his legs at that time, but after his death, all his sons except Cao Pi would be buried with him, which would be tragic.  Lao Cao, whose hair and beard turned gray at the end, was thinking about how to assess the character of his sons. At the same time, he did not forget to make great efforts to find the caravans and dealers who sold the elixirs.  There is no doubt that the elixir came from the north, but Cao Cao was worried that someone knew the efficacy of this elixir, but still helped people from the north sell it to the south, intending to use this terrible elixir to plot evil.  Cao Cao is always suspicious, but being suspicious has saved his life several times. In another time and space, Cao Cao had a headache. At that time, Ji Ping, the imperial doctor, had conspired with Dong Cheng and others to poison Cao Cao. At that time, Ji Ping looked unstable when he was decoction, and Cao Cao became suspicious.  Got on it, and finally escaped with his life.  It is also said that it was leaked without prior knowledge, but there is no doubt that Cao Cao is suspicious, especially when Cao Cao and the aristocratic family were not very happy in the past, so it is difficult for him to guarantee that no one from the aristocratic family intends to replace him.  It¡¯s just that those dealers seemed to have disappeared, but they couldn¡¯t be found.  We had no choice but to intensify the search efforts, and at the same time issued an edict to the Wei Dynasty to seek a cure for the erysipelas, and even made a promise to become a marquis, but no one has released the list so far.  Everyone is very unfamiliar with Fushou Dan. Few people know what it is, and they don¡¯t even feel the horror of abstinence symptoms. Therefore, how to treat it is originally a big problem.  And in Cao Pi's mansion, not far from the palace, Cao Pi is now facing another kind of pain.  The servant who had disappeared for a long time appeared again and told him clearly that it was he who got the Fushou Dan, or it was obtained through the smuggling caravan of Cao Pi and Cao Hong. If he was arrested, I would be sorry.  He would tell Cao Cao that everything was ordered by Cao Pi because Cao Pi was interested in his position.  Of course, unilateral threats are actually meaningless, so he made a promise to Cao Pi. As long as Cao Pi obediently obeys his instructions, then Cao Pi will be able to become the new crown prince without any pressure, and even successfully ascend the throne as emperor after Cao Cao's success.  .  The north promised to give Cao Pi twenty years as emperor, and he would be able to merge with Han after twenty years.  "Don't even think about it. My father and all the civil and military forces felled the country of Wei with one sword and one shot. How can we compromise on this if you resort to such deceitful means?" Cao Pi cursed righteously.  It was said to be a big curse, but it was actually a very quiet curse. In order to prevent outsiders from knowing about this matter, he and this servant only talked like this when no one was around.  "Of course my emperor knows your hard work, so I will treat you well when the time comes. At the very least, you will be a happy marquis. If not, he will have a large fiefdom overseas. You can do whatever you like." The servant shrugged.  He shrugged and said confidently.  "This you'd better not think about it." Cao Pi hesitated.  "You have no choice at this point. We can either lift you up, or we can trample you into the mortal world immediately, making you worthless, and even, you will be saddled with the crime of killing your brother and your father and will be infamous for thousands of years. You are good  Think about it, with twenty years of life as emperor and a comfortable old age, you should be satisfied." The servant quickly disappeared into the darkness without waiting for Cao Pi to reply.  Cao Pi stared blankly at the man's back, and finally slumped down on the chair.
