From Dengsai to Dengcheng, and then to the north of Dengcheng, the Jingzhou army was still chasing and chasing north, and the sound of people and horses running and shouting was deafening.

But Guan Yu was very quiet, as if he was isolated from the entire battlefield.

Guan Yu did not move, and the followers did not dare to speak and move.

The cavalry were winking at each other, and someone secretly kicked Zhou Cang with his toes, signaling him to look at Guan Yu's palm, and was holding the hilt of the long knife on his waist. Because he was holding it very hard, the veins on the back of the palm burst out together, almost making a sound.

Zhou Cang glared at them fiercely, lowered his eyelids, and said nothing.

The cavalry showed a disappointed look, and then turned their murderous eyes to another person who was immediately beside Guan Yu. The man had gray temples and wrinkles on his face. He looked very tired, and his military uniform was not like the Jingzhou Army's standard. He looked like a prisoner, but when everyone looked at him, it seemed that he could not shake his confident expression at all.

Guan Yu always pressed the long knife around his waist and refused to put it on.

When he saw someone walking sneakily through Jianjia and boarding the fast ship, his eyes suddenly opened and a divine light burst into his eyes. The followers were instantly excited and thought that Guan Yu was about to order a move, but Guan Yu's eyes quickly narrowed again, without any subsequent actions.

Until the ship untied its cables and set off to the north, Guan Yu turned slightly and glanced at the tired old man beside him: "Guo Rang, I didn't expect what you said was the truth."

The one called Guorang was Tian Yu, the prefect of Nanyang of Cao's camp. He was also the old friend of Liu Bei, the former subordinate of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others. In the first year of Chuping, Liu Bei was dismissed from the magistrate of Gaotang County and defected to Gongsun Zan as a Sima of another unit. At that time, Tian Yu entrusted himself to Liu Bei. After that, he followed Liu Bei to fight against Qingxu for many years, and witnessed Liu Bei's legendary experience from a private soldier leader to a left general and a governor of Yuzhou.

However, at this time, Gongsun Zan was about to be defeated. Tian Yu could not let go of the safety of the leader. After hesitation, he decided to bid farewell to Liu Bei and rush to western Liaoning for support. Liu Bei was extremely proud of Tian Yu's talent, so he cried and said, "I wish I would not achieve great things with you."

Twenty years later, Tian Yu made great contributions in the northern border, and Liu Bei and others turned to Nanxia, ​​but the two sides could never meet again. At this time, they met, but Guan Yu was on the battlefield, and Tian Yu personally rode over and said that there was a secret matter to tell him.

Tian Yu smiled after hearing what Guan Yu said.

"When I went south with Cao Ziwen, I knew the situation would collapse. At that time, Cao Ziwen and I were in a hurry. He could ride to the Qingshuikou to meet the King of Wei, and I was willing to come to see Chang Yun and tell Yun Chang a fake news based on my old face. After getting this fake news, the attention of the Jingzhou army would be redirected in other directions. The King of Wei and his subordinates had a gap to escape."

"But I don't know what kind of fake news it is?" Guan Yu asked.

"There is nothing to say, just some tricks." Tian Yu shook his head.

He plucked his horse back and looked at the countless figures running in the twilight, chasing or kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "I rode halfway through the way and realized that the defeat of the King of Wei was ten times more painful than expected. Such a defeat had shaken the foundation of the country. Since this is the case, the development of the world is completely different from what we had done before. I can conclude that it would be more beneficial to the cause of Xuande Gong than to capture and kill the King of Wei on the spot, allowing him to leave safely. So I decided to tell you some truth to Yun Chang."

Zhou Cang was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't help but say "hey".

Tian Yu glanced at Zhou Cang and ignored him at all.

At that time, Liu Bei traveled half of the world, and had important subordinates and old friends around him, but the relationship was Zhang, Jian Yong and Tian Yu. With the relationship between Tian Yu and the King of Hanzhong, he would not take a relative seriously.

He raised his whip and pointed to the small boat that was gradually moving away: "On such a chaotic battlefield, no matter how brave Cao Ziwen is, it is difficult for him to take out the King of Wei safely. Fortunately, I was telling the truth, and Yun Chang was indeed proud and sent Ma Yu to form an array west of the dam. It seemed that he was chasing the defeated soldiers, but in fact he was preventing the rioters from approaching the place where the fast ships were hidden, right?"

This is an hinting that Guan Yu was treated favorably by Cao Gong and he was unwilling to see him die on the battlefield.

Guan Yu couldn't help but say "hey": "Guangbang, I hope your reason can really impress the King of Hanzhong; I hope that as you said, even if you let this person go, the benefits will be much greater than leaving him. Otherwise, I would have killed more famous ministers and generals of Cao's army in this battle, so I wouldn't mind killing another 2,000 stone."

Tian Yu didn't care about Guan Yu's threat.

He chuckled repeatedly, and then sighed again: "I can tell the truth from the other end of the Hanzhong King. Yun Chang in front of him did not doubt my sincerity. I took on the relationship between the great ones with just a few words, even if I let Cao Cao go... I, Tian Yu, wrote down this great love. Yun Chang, thank you!"

Guan Yu did not answer.

Tian Yu is indeed Guan Yu's old friend, and he is indeed the one who is praised by the King of Hanzhong, but with just a few words, he sat down and watched Cao Cao leave... Is this right or wrong? Or, as Tian Yu said, is it my own intention that is shaken?

This heavy responsibility was pressed on Guan Yu's shoulders. Even with Guan Yu's strength and courage, he felt uneasy and almost dazed.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke his beard. He accidentally used his strength and then pulled down a few more stems.

Suddenly, he felt his eyes turn black and his towering figure begin to shake.

Only Zhou Cang and others heard shouting in their ears: "June!"

Clean water channel, on the Clippers.

Cao Cao shouted and stood up, and reached out and was about to draw his sword and slash.

Cao Zhang hurriedly held his shoulders and pressed him back to the couch at the bottom of the bilge: "Don't panic, my father is here! Cao Zhang is here!"

Cao Cao yelled several times before his eyes gathered on Cao Zhang's face: "Huang Xuer?"

"Yes, yes." Cao Zhang said repeatedly: "We are already on the boat that is heading north and have left the battlefield a little! As long as we can go to Wancheng to gather the defeated soldiers, we still have a way!"

Cao Cao listened blankly and suddenly asked, "Where is Zihuan?"

"What?"

Cao Cao murmured lowly and vaguely: "Where is Zihuan? I'll tell you Zihuan to come. I have something to say to him."

Cao Zhang's face suddenly changed.

He suddenly stood up, slowly moved closer to the edge of the couch, and said carefully: "Brother is in Guanzhong, where can I come here for a while? What does your father say to me is just the same."

Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, and a little bit of sharpness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Cao Zhang was shocked and hurriedly said, "I will tell my brother if my father has anything to say, and I will never mislead the matter!"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Zhang for a long time and felt a little awake.

He still remembered Cao Zhang's tone just now, and he was suddenly a little disappointed with Cao Zhang, but more helpless.

Heroes in troubled times will eventually die, and are their descendants qualified to inherit their careers?

Cao Cao had no doubt about Huang Xuer's loyalty and courage. But will his loyalty and courage be entrusted to his brother? Cao Cao didn't know. Will his brother be willing to trust Huang Xuer's loyalty and courage? Cao Cao didn't know. Can any of them think clearly about how serious the situation is and how can he give in to the overall situation? Cao Cao still doesn't know.

I really never thought that the dispute between Yuan Shao and his two sons would happen to him...

No, no, I can’t count on children! I have to hold on!

It's just a defeat, what's the big deal? I was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang, and it was not even more embarrassing than now? Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and the situation was not more dangerous than now? Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have experienced many difficulties and survived. I have survived countless times in the past. What's wrong with this time?

There is no need to worry about the gains and losses of a city and a place, nor do we need to worry about the failure of a war, as long as the overall situation is in mind, as long as the foundation of the Kingdom of Wei is still there, at most, ten years of life will be gathered together and ten years of lessons!

What's more, Hebei and the Central Plains are still in my hands! The righteousness of the court is still in my control!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly stood up as if he was hit by an electric current: "Emperor!"

Cao Zhang didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What?"

"I said, where is the emperor?" Cao Cao yelled hard, his voice extremely fierce, but it was weaker than he thought.

"When I came, I never saw the emperor's trace... Didn't he go south with his father? Isn't he always the elite soldiers of the Five Clans responsible for his affairs?" Cao Zhang explained in a panic, and the more he spoke, he became more and more frightened.

After a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "The emperor is gone? Can't find it?"

Cao Cao breathed.

He exhaled in one breath, as if the energy and spirit in his body also dissipated. His square face in middle age had gradually become rounded over the years, but at this time he suddenly became haggard with his naked eyes, and his face became more and more sallow.

He fell into deep thought and ignored Cao Zhang.

The fighting spirit that had just been aroused suddenly flew away again and could no longer gather.

This battle was a great loss and the emperor was gone. This time, he also exported the justice of the court. If the emperor was in Liu Bei's hands...

If you think about it carefully, there were too many wishful thinking from the beginning of this battle. Perhaps, this battle should not be fought? Perhaps it should be like the vague persuasion of Jia Xu and others. You should accumulate strength and not seek to achieve success in one battle?

Cao Cao thought of doing things carefully and slowly. If time goes back ten years, he has patience. If time goes back twenty years, his fighting spirit will never fade. Even if he suffers a painful failure, he dares to roar and face difficulties and crush powerful enemies.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao is old, and his body has long been extremely weak. Time is like a knife, slowly cutting off Cao Cao's healthy limbs, making him feel that the knife is peeling and bones every day, constantly destroying his mind, but there is no way to stop it. This pain of aging brings pressure and anxiety. The pressure and anxiety torture Cao Cao, making him increasingly worried about the passage of time and worry that he will leave his unbearable enemies to his immature sons.

Now it's over.

The right and wrong, success or failure in this life are all about me, Mr. Cao, and it is not worth thinking about what will happen after me.

When the troubled times first broke out, countless ambitious people dominated the prefectures and counties. But they were not taken seriously by Cao Cao because too many people under the banner of glory and glory, but in fact they were just for their own selfish desires. These porpoises and dogs were destined to be in trouble.

In Cao Cao's opinion, only Liu Bei and himself had real ambitions; only Liu Bei and himself had thoughts not only about purge the world, but also about rebuilding the prosperous era. Cao Cao saw it very clearly that Liu Bei seemed loyal, but in fact, what he thought in his mind was to hold a knife and cut the rotten Han Dynasty bit by bit, then set a fire to burn the rotten meat.

Isn’t this idea the same as mine, Cao Mengde?

Unfortunately, putting the emperor in Xudu was actually a daze. As more and more energy was devoted to the game and confrontation with the Xudu court, many things were a little bit difficult to control. The rotten meat accumulated over hundreds of years and the dirty blood were also rippling and cheerful in the Kingdom of Wei, but I could only tolerate it and could only lead it as my companions. It was not as good as Liu Bei's sky and the sea was wide, so he could let it go.

Forget it, forgot.

Although the divine turtle is alive, it still has a final moment. The snake rides on the fog and eventually becomes ashes of soil!

I can't do anything anymore.

Perhaps, the path Liu Bei is right?

Cao Cao waved to Cao Zhang and raised his last strength: "Huang Xuer, come, listen to me."

After a while, Cao Zhang pushed open the cabin door, walked out, and closed the cabin door again.

The entourage asked carefully: "June, what is the situation of the king?"
Chapter completed!
