Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 726 - 351: [Wei Kingdom Series · The Cao Father and Son]

An era of renowned generals has come to an end.

The viewers from the Blue Star watching the stream sighed deeply.

Although they knew the ending long ago.

The difference now is that the audience has seen how Deng Ai came all this way.

Not easy.

Really not easy.

So Deng Ai's death inevitably evokes a sigh.

Ultimately, he was too straightforward.

But it's also about human complexity.

After all, when reading Jiang Wei's biography, no one expected that insignificant Overseer Wei Guan would intercept and kill Deng Ai.

At the time, they thought Deng Ai was safe.

But thinking about it now.

From Wei Guan's perspective, he acted ruthlessly.

After all, he was just an overseer, and when Deng Ai returned to Luoyang and got promoted for his merits in destroying a nation.

There would be no good days left for Wei Guan.

So it's better to intercept and kill Deng Ai right when things have turned.

Then once he is dead, it is all settled.

Everything is resolved.

Even Deng Ai's son and family were also dealt with.

It eliminated any chance of Deng Ai's family seeking revenge from the root.

Completely uprooting it.

Now that everyone has seen the three men's experiences, although each is different.

Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, and Deng Ai all lost their fathers at a young age, and viewers from Blue Star are discussing whether this could be a secret to discovering talent?

If you want to know whether someone is promising in the future, first look at their family situation...

As for the battle to destroy Shu.

There is a heated discussion in the livestream.

Primarily because Deng Ai's last few battles surprised everyone.

Even Liu Chan probably didn't expect that the number of Deng Ai's army was so small when he surrendered.

First, Zhuge Zhan's vanguard fled without fighting.

Then Zhuge Zhan abandoned his post and retreated to Mianzhu.

Allowing Deng Ai to resupply and rest for a while.

Afterwards, Zhuge Zhan's main army's morale was shattered again, and Zhuge Zhan himself, as the commander, along with a group of generals, were annihilated.

Then the conciliators inside Chengdu persuaded surrender.

So this is how Deng Ai received everything from Shu State.

It's really regretful...

Viewers from Blue Star shook their heads, thinking that if they hadn't been so eager to surrender, Chengdu could have gathered tens of thousands of troops to wear down Deng Ai.

They could have exhausted the opposition.

But surrender without fighting ended it all completely.

Compared to Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui.

Viewers from Blue Star have raised their fondness for Deng Ai quite a bit, mainly because Deng Ai, unlike the other two, truly climbed to the top through practical steps.

The other two somewhat borrowed a lot of spotlight.

By comparison.

Deng Ai's experience better suits the tastes of viewers from Blue Star.

In the meantime.

Due to the release of multiple "Viewing Editions".

Many edited versions have now appeared online.

Quickly switching between the highlight moments of the characters in the viewing editions, accompanied by stirring music, allows viewers to quickly grasp the overall story within each "Viewing Edition".

This has indeed made things a lot easier for Blue Star viewers.

Although some background details are omitted.

Those interested would later look up the information, so nothing is really missed.

Fang Ming was pondering which related character to watch next.

He saw a barrage of comments in the live chat suggesting searching for quick-cut versions.

Fang Ming searched.

On gaming forums and video-sharing sites, there indeed appeared many.

Moreover, those video sites also categorized them specifically, sorting the Polestar viewing editions clearly, evidently capitalizing on the trend.

Fang Ming glanced through:

"Hmm?"

"These categories are quite detailed."

In the categorization.

Firstly they were divided into major groups based on each dynasty edition.

Then there were "personal edition" and "mixed edition".

Under the "personal edition" category, the characters are arranged in the order of their birth times within the dynasty.

And the "mixed edition" connects various edited versions.

Having just finished watching Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Fang Ming clicked on the Three Kingdoms edition.

He first clicked on the "personal edition".

Then it showed biographies of numerous individuals within the Three Kingdoms version like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei... Liu Zhan, Cao Mao, etc.

Fang Ming then clicked on "mixed edition".

The titles then showed a series of obvious edits, such as "Wei State Full Edition", "Shu State Full Edition", "Wu State Full Edition" with several characters grouped together on the covers.

Fang Ming glanced at the "Wei State Full Edition".

Recognized the first person on the cover as Cao Cao, followed by Cao Pi, the rest were unfamiliar, though clearly also Wei emperors.

Besides these national series.

There are also personal mixed editions.

For example, a Liu Chan mix has characters like Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, etc., on its cover.

The Liu Bei mixed edition has multiple key figures like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, etc.

In the live chat, viewers were clamoring and suggesting various things to watch; Fang Ming looked at the page and said:

"I haven't watched the mixed edition yet."

"Brothers."

"Let's check out this Wei series first."

As Fang Ming clicked.

The screen slowly lit up.

[Guandu Battlefield]

The clamor of iron cavalry filled the ears; Cao Cao reined in his horse at high ground, laughing wildly to the sky.

Below was the defeated army, Yuan flags scattered and fallen messily; lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, countless surrendered soldiers were kneeling, awaiting judgment.

The scene shifted.

[Luoyang - Bronze Sparrow Terrace]

At the end of nine jade steps, Cao Pi's mouth curled up, stroking the dragon chair's Chi pattern.

Cao Pi turned around, the pearls on his crown clattering, the camera shifting from his face to the base of the Bronze Bird Terrace, where ministers knelt, and a sound like mountains and seas roared.

The perspective fell onto the inscription of the "Petition for Abdication".

The scene changed again.

[Jiapeng Palace]

A night banquet, candle shadows swaying in red. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Emperor Cao Fang suddenly threw a cup, the glass cup shattering in front of Sima Shi's seat.

Just about to make a move.

But was caught by Sima Shi, who reacted with a gloomy look, seizing Cao Fang's wrist. The sound of clashing armor outside the hall suddenly fell silent for some reason.

In an instant, Cao Fang's face turned pale.

The scene switched.

[Luoyang Imperial Palace]

The young emperor had just seated on the dragon throne.

He turned to look at the entrance of the grand hall.

But his face suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, as Sima Zhao, sword-stepping into the hall, strode swiftly through the ministers, none of whom dared to stop him, or even raised their heads to look directly.

Looking at the expressionless Sima Zhao, Cao Mao weakly said:

"Great General."

Sima Zhao, however, ignored him entirely, directly sitting on the chair beside Cao Mao, indicating for him to start the court meeting.

The perspective showed Cao Mao's trembling fist clenched under his sleeve.

Seeing this, the Polestar netizens in the live broadcast couldn't help but shake their heads.

How is this just like Liu Shan, even trembling in fear.

Little did they know.

This wasn't fear, it was hatred.....

However, the twists in these scenes immediately piqued the interest of the Polestar netizens in the live broadcast.

Cao Cao held the Emperor to order the Dukes.

Cao Pi received the abdication and founded the State of Wei.

Both of them were considered strong rulers.

Why did they suddenly get controlled by powerful ministers afterward?

The Polestar netizens were pondering in the live broadcast room.

The scene had already ended.

Accompanied by melodious music and the sound of a baby's cry.

What came into view was an official's home, where a baby had just been born. Seeing the man in the picture lift the baby high with joy-filled laughter.

The main film began.

Then characters introducing appeared beside the baby.

[Cao Cao, born in Qiao County, Pei State... His father, Cao Song, was the adopted son of eunuch Cao Teng.]

The Polestar netizens in the live broadcast room watched intently.

Normally.

Just a personal viewing of Cao Cao's would take an hour.

But this Wei State series.

Combining five generations of Wei emperors, was only one hour.

Presumably cut a lot, so the Polestar netizens watched intently.

And indeed it was.

The scenes skipped quickly.

As he gradually grew up.

In childhood, Cao Cao already showed intelligence.

But more was his difficulty to manage compared to other children.

The scenes continuously shifted.

Then in his youth, at this time Cao Cao, though unruly, was appreciated for his intelligence and wit, and was praised by Xu Shao as "a capable minister in times of order, a treacherous hero in times of chaos".

This also had a significant impact on Cao Cao.

At the age of 20, Cao Cao was recommended as a Filial and Incorrupt, serving as the North Zeal Officer of Luoyang.

Later, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he served as Cavalry Commandant, participating in suppressing the uprising, gaining prominence.

At this point.

The rhythm of the music changed.

There was a feeling of an impending storm.

The scene switched again.

It was already Dong Zhuo in power, Cao Cao met Wang Yun at night and obtained the Seven-Star Treasure Saber.

Leaving Wang Yun's residence.

Cao Cao looked at the Seven-Star Treasure Saber in his hand, making a certain decision.

The scene shifted.

Cao Cao already walked into Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Residence.

The attendants were about to report, but Cao Cao stopped them, heading to where Dong Zhuo was.

As he stepped into the great hall.

Deafening snores came out, Dong Zhuo's corpulent body appeared sinister and terrifying under the curtains, Cao Cao's expression unchanged, his hand reaching into his sleeve.

As the Seven-Star Treasure Saber was drawn.

Cao Cao got closer and closer to Dong Zhuo.

The Polestar netizens in the live broadcast held their breath, watching this scene nervously.

When the Three Kingdoms version of the plot started, the eighteen roads of Dukes were already campaigning against Dong, not much was known about the preceding events.

It was just unexpected that it was so thrilling.

As Cao Cao approached, only a step away from Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao raised the saber, intending to thrust it with all his might.

But the saber's arc reflected on Dong Zhuo's closed eyes, his brows furrowing, Cao Cao's pupils contracted sharply, his movements stalling.

Yet in that moment of thought.

Cao Cao already changed his movement, kneeling, offering the saber with both hands.

The Polestar netizens were about to comment.

But saw the scene given to Dong Zhuo on the bed, who had already turned and sat up, his eyes murky with post-drinking fierceness fixed on Cao Cao.

That look.

Made the Polestar netizens catch their breath.

Just now, they wondered why Cao Cao didn't stab down, now seeing it was right not to.

This Dong Zhuo....

His movements were too swift, and he was too alert, wasn't he?

At this moment.

Lu Bu's voice came from outside the hall:

"Foster Father."

Dong Zhuo had already come to his senses, grabbing Cao Cao's Seven-Star Treasure Saber with a look of appreciation:

"Hahaha, my son Fengxian."

"Come quickly and see this...."

The scene gave a view of Cao Cao, who had already discreetly wiped his cold sweat.
