Cao Cao thought that Bai Feng was worried that his question was a trap, so he smiled and continued.
"Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu were sent out by me just now."
"Don't worry, Mister Bai. Only the heavens, the earth, you, and I know about this.
"I won't blame you for this."
Bai Feng smiled and said in a low voice,
"Wei Emperor, you should remember that I told Wei Emperor about this before."
"I will tell you everything I know about the battlefield, but I really don't want to participate in or comment on Wei Emperor's family matters."
"But since Wei Emperor has asked again, I will say whatever I want."
Bai Feng stood with his hands behind his back, coughed, and continued.
"Young Master Pi, this person is calm, gentle, and shrewd. He has his own ideas and is very meticulous."
Speaking up to here, Bai Feng shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Bai Feng knew Cao Pi well.
He remembered everything about him clearly in history.
But how could he tell Cao Cao about this?
Moreover, Cao Cao himself should also know about it.
After all, Cao Pi was his son.
"Hahahaha, you're right."
Cao Cao didn't continue to ask as Bai Feng expected. Instead, he laughed.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why is Wei Emperor asking about this?"
Play dumb.
He had to play dumb at this time.
Bai Feng knew very well what Xun Yu did after his death.
His current status was even higher than Xun Yu and Xun You's at the time.
If he acted like he knew everything, Cao Cao would definitely be suspicious.
The moment Bai Feng asked that question, Cao Cao's gaze instantly turned extremely desolate. He stroked his beard and continued speaking.
He stroked his beard and said, "Alas, I'm already old, and I'm sure you're aware of my physical condition."
Hearing this, Bai Feng narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although Cao Cao didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was clear.
He wanted to appoint an heir!
Old?
What did he mean by old?
It was time to prepare for his funeral!
At this moment, Bai Feng finally understood why Cao Cao had started to clear out the area like a madman. The nobles, who had not made a move at first, had now killed close to 20,000 people.
He was paving the way for his descendants!
"Wei Emperor, since you've said so, this one will be so bold as to ask, does Wei Emperor wish to proclaim himself Emperor?"
Bai Feng's expression was grave as he asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed again. His voice was extremely miserable.
"Proclaim myself Emperor?"
"Mister, even you have misjudged me!"
"The people of the world are wrong about me, Cao Cao!"
"This Emperor will never proclaim himself Emperor. There are some things that should be decided by the people of the future."
At this point, Bai Feng felt that Cao Cao was becoming more and more weathered. He seemed like an old man, not a sovereign.
Cao Cao continued.
"Kill Thief Cao, the traitor who usurped the Han?
"This is what the people of the world think of me, Cao Cao.
"But how could the people of the world know that I, Cao Cao, am the greatest subject of the Han?
"Even Lord Xun and Lord Xun have misjudged me, Cao Cao!
"If I really wanted to destroy the Han, why would I save the Son of Heaven?
"Although I'm holding the Son of Heaven to command the vassals, if I were to depose the Emperor and establish a new one, I'd be a local tyrant like Dong Zhuo, allowing the vassals to fight and kill while I guard my own territory. Wouldn't that be perfect?
"Why would I risk my own life, the lives of my subjects, to conquer the vassals and unify the north?"
Bai Feng was moved by this.
This was a formidable person!
Bai Feng cupped his hands and said.
"This one understands what Wei Emperor means."
At this moment, these words were enough!
Cao Cao looked at Bai Feng with gratification and said.
"Sir, I feel a little better after hearing your words."
"At least there are people who know how to properly judge me, Cao Cao!
"I am not Thief Cao, I am a subject of the Han!
"Min 'an, I called you here because I have a task for you."
Bai Feng was taken aback by Cao Cao's words.
Me?
Not Gu?
Ever since Cao Cao had proclaimed himself Emperor, he had always referred to himself as Gu. He had never referred to himself as Me.
Could it be …
Cao Cao ignored Bai Feng's reaction and continued.
"Teacher, the world is not stable yet, and the internal strife has not been eliminated. I cannot rest easy.
"I don't have much time left. Although I have Teacher's medical skills to assist me, I know that I only have a few days left.
"The landowning households, the world … I will have to rely on Teacher for all of this!"
Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Cao Cao was saying that he was going to attack the remaining vassals?!
Cao Cao continued.
"Teacher, I will need you to take care of Jingzhou. I will take care of the rest."
Bai Feng was dumbfounded.
Cao Cao's meaning was very clear.
Send troops to conquer the vassals?
Boss Cao, are you serious? Or are you crazy?
Liu Bei and Sun Quan were difficult characters to deal with. They were hard bones to chew.
Everyone had seen Zhang Lu's movements in the past few days. It was clear that he was fully prepared.
It would take some time to conquer the vassals one by one, but you want to conquer them all?
"Wei Emperor, this one does not agree to this.
"This is no different from putting all our forces on the line and making a huge gamble!"
"If we lose, not only will we conquer the world, our foundation will also be gone."
Bai Feng said in a low voice.
Bai Feng had already planned to attack the other vassals.
Whether it was attacking Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Hanzhong, or marching into Xichuan, Bai Feng was absolutely confident that he could take them all.
But now, he wanted to divide his forces and conquer them all. If this was not madness, what was it?
Boss Cao, do you really think that the vassals who have ruled the world for so many years are useless?
Who doesn't have a few soldiers?
"I understand Teacher's intentions very well.
"But I have already made up my mind. Teacher, please don't try to persuade me."
Cao Cao stroked his beard. His expression was extremely solemn, but also extremely resolute.
Bai Feng sighed helplessly.
Cao Cao was gambling with his life.
Taking things slowly would definitely win, but Cao Cao did not have that much time.
If Cao Cao died right after conquering Jingzhou, Cao Pi would not be able to control what Cao Cao would do after that.
Seeing that he could not persuade Cao Cao, Bai Feng felt extremely helpless. He turned and left.
Bai Feng was very clear about Boss Cao's thoughts.
Right now, he was like Guan Yu in history, who was killed by Sun Quan. He was determined to conquer Dong Yue Wu no matter what. No one could persuade him.
However, after Bai Feng left, a person slowly walked out from the depths of the main hall.
That person slowly approached Cao Cao and said in a low voice,
"Father, what's wrong with you today?"
"Mr. Bai is right …"
