Chapter 179: Cao Cao is here

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Pei Qing's wedding date is approaching. During this period, the princes who celebrated from all over the country arrived in Chang'an to express their congratulations to Pei Qing and Princess Pingyang.

Surprisingly, Han Sui was the first to arrive.

However, Pei Qing was not surprised by this, because although Han Sui's strength was the strongest among the Liangzhou warlords, his power was greatly constrained. Both Li Jue and Ma Teng posed great threats to him, which put his territory in danger of being dismembered. What made Han Sui even more helpless was that Ma Teng had issued an ultimatum to Yang Qiu, asking Yang Qiu to take office as the prefect of Longxi within ten days, and when he took office, he could only take office alone and hand over the stable army to Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, commander. Otherwise, he would lead the army to attack.

Han Sui knew that he was unable to deal with Ma Teng's threat because he had to guard against Li Jue's attack. For Han Sui, Li Jue was the real confidant, because the Wuwei occupied by Li Jue was definitely a thorn in his eyes. As long as Li Jue was in Wuwei for one day, his power would be threatened by life and death for one day.

However, Han Sui was unwilling to let Ma Teng's strength grow further, so he could only ask Pei Qing for help, hoping that Pei Qing could find a way to balance Ma Teng. It was for this purpose that Han Sui went to Chang'an to congratulate Pei Qing.

In order to express his sincerity, Han Sui did not hesitate to adopt the proton method, and this time he brought his only son Han Yu to Chang'an to express his sincerity to the court in this way. Of course, Pei Qing now has absolute power in the court, so what he calls sincerity to the court is actually his sincerity to Pei Qing.

Pei Qing certainly knew this, but he couldn't let Han Sui feel at ease, because the turmoil between Han Sui and Ma Teng and Li Jue was his idea. How could the good show end just like that before it even started?

Therefore, Pei Qing only guaranteed Han Sui on the surface that he must persuade Ma Teng to respect the court's regulations and not start wars easily, causing disasters to the military and civilians.

Han Sui didn't know what Pei Qing said was just to deal with him, so he thanked Pei Qing for his gratitude and gave him a thousand excellent Xiliang war horses as gifts, and also prepared a large number of gold and jade items as gifts for Pei Qing and the princess' wedding.

What Han Sui didn't know was that at this time Ma Teng also secretly sent someone to visit Pei Qing with gifts, with the purpose of telling Pei Qing not to interfere in peace. Of course, Pei Qing only called on Ma Teng to remain restrained on the surface and did not take any actual actions.

In addition to Han Sui and Ma Teng, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Liu Yu and others all sent envoys to visit Pei Qing to win over their relationship with Pei Qing. Although Liu Bei was still on the way to Jiaozhi, he actually sent someone to Chang'an on a fast horse and gave Pei Qing a generous gift.

Not surprisingly, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others did not express any congratulations to Pei Qing. Naturally, Yuan Shu was no longer a word of congratulations. He was also Pei Qing's old opponent. He had lost control of the entire Yuzhou in the battle with Pei Qing. Later, while Pei Qing led his army to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, he led his army to attack Runan. As a result, he was defeated by Pei Yuanshao and lost more than 10,000 people. Finally, he had no choice but to retreat back to Jiujiang in shame.

In this case, with new revenge and old hatred, how could Yuan Shu have a good face to Pei Qing? So he even spared the formal show of kindness.

Of course, Yuan Shao was afraid of Pei Qing's great increase in strength. Now he has vaguely replaced him and become the world's number one, powerful and famous prince. How could Yuan Shao have any good face to such a powerful prince? So he directly refused to show kindness to Pei Qing.

As for Gongsun Zan, he was even more angry with Pei Qing. His general Liu Bei joined the Kwantung Alliance to fight against the Western Liang army under the instigation of Pei Qing. As a result, his elite troops in Pingyuan Kingdom were taken away by Liu Bei, and even the general Zhao Yun was taken away by him. As a result, Pingyuan Kingdom's troops were empty and he was captured by Yuan Shao. In this case, Pei Qing actually appointed Kong Rong as the governor of Qingzhou. This was obviously to deprive him of Gongsun Zan of his real power over Qingzhou.

How could Gongsun Zan have a good impression of Pei Qing under such circumstances?

Pei Qing had actually expected the reactions of these people, but what he didn't expect was, or what surprised him the most was that Cao Cao actually went to Chang'an in person to celebrate Pei Qing.

"I finally can see the legendary Cao Cao. I have to take the opportunity to get his genes. As long as I get his genes, I can get his attributes, find out his weaknesses, and deal with him in a targeted manner. Perhaps I can also find another person with the surname Cao, inject Cao Cao's genes into the other party, and copy Cao Cao. At that time, I can use Cao Cao of this replica to explore the various ideas of real Cao Cao, which will be more beneficial to me in the future."

In fact, although Pei Qing is a gene expert and has mastered the technology of using gene cloning before traveling through time, he generally does not do this because this practice has an ethical feeling that hurts people. Of course, since it is generally not done, this also proves that there are special circumstances. For example, after a family member dies unexpectedly, the family cannot bear the longing for their deceased relatives, and even commits suicide for this. In this case, Pei Qing can consider creating clones for him to alleviate the pain of the living.

However, those purely cloned people are no longer real life forms, and they are actually no different from robots with human bodies. This method is not as good as the method of matching genes developed by Pei Qing, because his method will not allow the matched person to be affected by the memory, emotions and other factors of the matched person, but another independent person. Therefore, even if Pei Qing matches Cao Cao's genes for others, the matched person is another life form, but this person has attributes that are completely consistent with Cao Cao.

Therefore, Pei Qing matches the genes of famous generals and will not bear the slightest burden of human relationships. Instead, it will allow the matched person to gain new abilities, which is completely helping people rather than harming people.

It is also for this reason that Pei Qing matched Cao Cao's genes to another person surnamed Cao, and he would not have any moral burden. As long as the conditions are suitable, he could implement it immediately.

The so-called conditions are just to find someone with the same clan as Cao Cao and the same talent type. This is actually not difficult for Pei Qing, because there are many people in Qiao County who have the same clan as Cao Cao but are not close to each other. After all, there are many descendants of Cao Shen, the ancestor of Cao Cao, and many of them have experienced the five-suffering relationship with Cao Cao, right?
