In the wind, Cao Cao's messy beard and hair were flying, and in the wind, Cao Cao's tears were rolling.
"Dianwei...did he say anything..."
The trembling voice contained pain. Cao Cao closed his lips tightly and then struggled to say these words.
Yu Jin didn't cry, the veins on Yu Jin's neck burst. He was enduring it, but the tiger and leopard riders who saw Dian Wei's body behind him burst into tears...
"General Dian Wei... Even if he died in battle, he still faced the river... I heard from the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive... General before he died... I hope the Prime Minister can be safe and sound... I hope the Prime Minister can remember the words of Master Yi... I hope this will never happen again
will not happen…"
"General...he wants to see the prime minister rule the world..."
"good!!"
When Yu Jin almost cried, after saying the last sentence, Cao Cao cried bitterly, Cao Ren shouted, and thousands of cavalry, under the south wind, sent their last farewells to the souls who had left them...
——
Outside Xiangyang City, in front of Lumen Mountain, a horse that was foaming at the mouth due to the 800-mile rush fell to the ground and never got up again.
The general, covered in mud, struggled to get up from the ground.
He made no excuses or shouted.
He dragged his tired body and walked step by step towards the mountains... there... there was their only hope.
…
In front of the hut, Yi Xiaotian stretched.
The food is delicious and the beautiful woman is in the company. It is the time when the spring breeze is full of joy, but Yi Xiaotian always feels that there is something in his heart that he cannot express for a long time.
"Sir, are you going to continue to be busy now?"
Zhen Luo walked gently from behind and stood aside very obediently. She asked with a smile, seeming to be a little worried about Yi Xiaotian's health.
After all, Yi Xiaotian has been busy these past few days and has not had a good rest for a long time.
"Time waits for no one. If you complete the repeating crossbow earlier... Brother Hao's army will become stronger sooner -"
"Speaking of which, Brother Zhi and the others have been going to Chibi for ten days. If everything went well...the news should have been sent by now."
However, Yi Xiaotian just mentioned it casually. He knew that there were many variables in the army, sooner or later... As long as he followed his tips, he would probably not go wrong.
Of course, he had been flustered before and wrote an extra tip to Brother Hidden - I hope he wouldn't use the best...
——
However, what are you afraid of?
When Yi Xiaotian had just walked out of the hut and stood in the courtyard, looking at the mountains and forests from a distance, there seemed to be two figures galloping towards him on the path in the distance.
Before Yi Xiaotian could greet him, Xu Chu's unique loud voice passed through countless trees and came to the front of the house.
"Sir! It's bad! General Zhang is here to report! Chibi...the Prime Minister has been defeated!"
"What did you say!!"
Yi Xiaotian's eyes widened, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes——
"This...how is this possible?"
But as the two of them got closer and closer.
When Zhang Liao's bruised and exhausted appearance came into view, Yi Xiaotian finally realized that this thing... really happened...
Yi Xiaotian directly stepped over the low fence and rushed in the direction of Xu Chu.
And Zhang Liao was being carried on Xu Chu's back, looking like he was dying, and he was about to lose his strength...
Yi Xiaotian rushed to Xu Chu and kept asking Zhang Liao:
"Where is Brother Hidden! What happened to the Prime Minister!"
"If my calculations are correct, if Chibi is defeated, Brother Hao should return from Huarong with Cao Cao..."
"General Zhang? General Zhang, wake up!"
"Yueying! Go to the house quickly to get some herbs! General Zhang has lost too much blood..."
——
Zhang Liao woke up and took the decoction that Yi Xiaotian had boiled for him personally. The warm feeling made Zhang Liao suddenly cough.
"General Zhang! You wake up!"
Zhang Liao put on a pale face and used all his strength to say to Yi Xiaotian:
"The Prime Minister and Mr. Hao are both fine..."
In fact, at this time, even if Zhang Liao was not clear-headed, he still forgot Cao Cao's instructions not to reveal his true identity to Yi Xiaotian.
"Huarong Road...Guan Yunchang let us go...now...ahem..."
He coughed violently again, Zhang Liao used up his last bit of strength, pointed to the mountain road south of Xiangyang City outside the door, and said to Yi Xiaotian:
"Master Miao is right behind...Jiangling has fallen, and the pursuers of the Sun and Liu families are chasing our army...Master Yi...you must save Master Miao..."
"General Zhang, please rest quickly. I know everything...I'm going right now!"
Yi Xiaotian experienced the initial panic. As the only person who could turn the situation around, he was the first to regain his composure.
Zhang Liao fainted again.
The room was filled with silence.
Huang Yueying was quite unfamiliar with such a scene and was trembling all over, while Zhen Luo also hugged Huang Yueying in silence.
Le Jin, who came after hearing the news, exploded when he saw the bruised Zhang Liao.
"What the hell is going on! Who did it! Zhang Wenyuan! Don't let your boy die!"
Le Jin rushed directly to the bed. If Xu Chu hadn't stopped him, Zhang Liao would have been frightened to death by Le Jin even if he didn't die.
"Chibi...we lost..."
Xu Chu no longer had the silly smile of the past. Now he looked solemn and told Le Jin the matter word by word.
Le Jinren was dumbfounded. In his consciousness, he never thought that Chibi and the others would be defeated.
"How...is this possible...you...are you not lying to me? Ah? Hahaha, I know you are lying to me, stop making trouble..."
Le Jin laughed loudly, as if he wanted to use laughter to dispel the desolation.
Yi Xiaotian stood up and patted Le Jin on the shoulder:
"General Le...get your troops together and let's go pick them up..."
After saying that, Yi Xiaotian turned around silently and walked out of the hut first, walking so firmly——
Because he knows that this time, he will face the most severe test since this era...
——
God knows how relieved Cao Cao felt the moment he saw Yi Xiaotian, but after he felt relieved, what filled his heart was endless regret and pain...
Tears of reluctance were rolling in the corners of his eyes. A grown man should not shed tears lightly, but this time... Cao Cao really couldn't bear such a blow...
Thousands of words, gathered in one sentence:
"Brother Yi, save me..."
Yi Xiaotian led Yue Jin, Xu Chu, and three thousand elite infantry to receive Cao Cao safely outside Xiangyang City.
Yi Xiaotian dismounted, and Cao Cao dismounted.
The two met, and Cao Cao fell to his knees.
"Brother Yi...all gone...500,000 troops and horses..."
"And...Awei..."
After hearing Ah Wei's name, Yi Xiaotian suddenly felt excited all over.
"That's right...Did Awei leave too..."
Not asking, but regretting...
The one who reacted most violently was not Yi Xiaotian, but Xu Chu, who was fully armed and went into battle again.
Yi Xiaotian thought that Awei was the bodyguard of Master Guo, but Xu Chu...Xu Chu knew that Awei was his good brother Dianwei who had been through life and death.
Countless memories flashed before my eyes.
Xu Chu...this mountain-like man, shed hot tears at this moment.
I don't know why, God was not kind to me, but it rained heavily at this moment.
The rumble of thunder seemed to be Dian Wei's familiar thunderous roar.
But now, everything is in the past.
The rain mixed with the tears on everyone's faces, flowed into the ground together, and disappeared without a trace.
"I know everything...so now..."
Yi Xiaotian slowly knelt down and gently patted Mr. Hao on the back.
Give him a smile, the smile that always appears in every difficult situation.
