The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 685
Seeing the slender figure walking slowly towards the door, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of unbearable.

Even though she knew that this was her mission, Guo Jia still couldn't bear to personally order a weak woman to die.

"stop."

Hearing this, Feng Shi turned her head: "What else can the government order tell you?"

Guo Jia got up, took out a pack of medicine powder from his arms, and handed it over.

"Killing with a sharp blade is not beautiful after all. Yuan Gonglu was a traitor all his life, so let's use this thing to send him on the road." Guo Jia said, "After the matter is done, you will come here. Whether you can escape depends on your luck." .”

"Thank you for the order!"

Feng's expression was startled, she didn't expect Guo Jia to be so benevolent as a woman, to care about her own life and death.After being stunned for a moment, he took the medicine powder, bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

This scene was noticed by Pang De, and after Feng Shi left, Pang De couldn't help but said: "Fu Ling, once Yuan Shu dies, the whole Wancheng will inevitably be in chaos. If you let Feng Shi come here, you will cause trouble for the upper body and the last general." Think……"

"You don't need to think about this..."

Guo Jia interrupted Pound's words with a wave of his hand, and said calmly: "After all, she is a minister with meritorious service, and she must leave a way out. At that time, you will lead a hundred elites to respond here. If Yuan Shu dies silently, Feng's may not be able to do so." Get away."

Hearing this, although Pound frowned, his eyes were full of emotion.

Feng Shi is a pawn, so why not Pound.The protection shown by Guo Jia is enough to move people.

"The general will obey! But... please leave the government order first."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "There's no need to do that, just go ahead and prepare."

……

Although he received Guo Jia's order, Feng did not carry out the task of assassinating Yuan Shu immediately, but hibernated as if nothing had happened.

She understands that even at the cost of her life, she only has one chance.If he doesn't succeed, and his own death is too small, Yuan Shu will definitely set off a bloodbath in the city, and it may even affect Guo Jia.

If it weren't for His Majesty's great grace, my family would have turned into ghosts under the knife of Taishan thieves, dead bones by the roadside.How about living and working in peace and contentment, and even entering the court.

Thinking of his parents in Xuzhou, and his younger brother who had already obtained a high degree of fame, Feng, who helped his younger brother at the end of the Han Dynasty, firmly believed in it.

Feng's side can certainly wait patiently for the best opportunity, but some people can't wait any longer.

For example, Cao Cao who is currently in Ye County, Lu Bu in Xiping County, and even Sun Ce who is trapped in Runan.

Guan Yu and others led an army to surround Wancheng in the midsummer of June. Although Yuan Shu was unable to spread the news, this does not mean that the imperial army would not do so.

According to the tactics of Xun You and Ju Shou to encircle and fight for aid, the three-way Yuan Shu army who was outside quickly learned the news that Wancheng was besieged.

But immediately afterwards, the three-way army made a completely different, even shocking move.

Guan Yu and others thought that Lu Bu and Sun Ce would rush back to aid Wancheng. After all, one of them was Yuan Shu's subordinate and the other was Yuan Shu's adopted son.

As a foreign aid, Cao Cao probably didn't care about Yuan Shu's life or death.

But in fact, after receiving the news, Lu Bu, who was guarding Xiping, did not move, and Sun Ce, who was in Runan, was also hesitant. Instead, the foreign aid Cao Cao rushed to reinforce Wancheng with all his elite soldiers.

This series of changes in the ups and downs of the rabbits stunned the court generals.

Seeing that the general situation is over, and people's hearts will inevitably be scattered, the actions of Lu Fengxian and Sun Bofu may be understandable.But you, Cao Cao, came rushing here, but it's hard to understand.

Besides, Yuan Shu has never treated you with the respect of an ally. Instead, he calls you around like he is commanding his subordinates.

Translated into adult words, it is only a few hundred yuan a month, what are you doing!
If you can't understand it, you can't understand it, but Cao Cao still came.

Only Chen Gong was left to guard Ye County with [-] troops, and he himself led [-] troops to Wancheng.

It's not that Cao Cao is loyal to Yuan Shu as an ally, but he understands that he has no way out.

When the campaign against Dong Zhuo in previous years, Lin Chao offered an olive branch to Cao Cao.But at that time, Cao Cao's thoughts were all on his friend Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to talk to Liu Bei at all.

After the war, Liu Bei treated Cao Cao with utmost courtesy, just like Cao Cao treated Liu Bei in the original history, but Cao Cao still ran away.

Not only ran away, but also stabbed Liu Bei in the back, and took Yanzhou in a sneak attack and dealt with Liu Bei with Yuan Shao.

Now that things are up to now, even if Liu Bei can still be magnanimous and ignore the past, Cao Cao has no face to surrender.

The best result is to lead the army to break the siege of Wancheng by himself, and then fight the imperial army in a decisive battle.

As for the worst outcome... the worst would be to die with Yuan Shu.

A real man was born between heaven and earth, so it is a blessing to be able to die on the battlefield!
In this battle, Cao Cao almost had the belief that he must die.

Then, Guan Yu satisfied him.

At the beginning of the battle, Cao Cao led his army to rush forward, and did not set up camp until [-] miles away from Wancheng, and then sent spies to investigate the movements of Guan Yu's army.

After learning that Guan Yu's army surrounded the city, Cao Cao discussed with Xi Zhicai, and decided to send the first warriors to break into the city. At least let Yuan Shu know that he came to rescue.

As for cooperating inside and outside to defeat Guan Yu's army, Xi Zhicai no longer had much expectation for Yuan Shu in the city.

But, who to send as the striker?
Several battles with Liu Bei resulted in the loss of almost all the generals Cao Cao brought from his hometown Peijun. Now only Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers are left under his command.

"Brother, let the younger brother be the vanguard, lead the army into the city, and get in touch with Yuan Gonglu!"

Just when Cao Cao was in a dilemma, Cao Hong took the initiative to ask Ying to fight.

"No, you don't need to go."

Cao Cao shook his head decisively and rejected Cao Hong's request.

Going to the camp first was a near-death job, but now Guan Yu's more than [-] troops surrounded Wancheng, and Xuzhou's most brave generals were also sitting in the town. If he wanted to lead people into the city, it could be said that he would die without life.

Cao Hong had been following him since Dong Zhuo was in trouble, and he had been loyal for more than ten years. Naturally, Cao Cao didn't want him to take risks.

However, someone has to lead the troops.

Seeing that Cao Hong refused to fight, Cao Ren stood up. Even Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, also asked to fight, but Cao Cao refused.

In the end, Cao Cao selected a general to perform this task.

Unexpectedly, this wave of attempts to cooperate with the outside world was not stopped by the imperial army.

Guan Yu had an army of more than [-], but he watched Cao Cao's men rush into the city to meet Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao wanted to cooperate with the inside and the outside, so Guan Yu didn't want to pull Yuan Shu out to fight.

But the result disappointed both Cao Cao and Guan Yu.

Although Yuan Shu learned that Cao Cao had come to help him, instead of cheering up, he continued to drink and have fun all day long, hanging out with concubines in the harem, and had no intention of going out of the city to fight Guan Yu decisively.

I messed it up, you can do whatever you want.

Cao Cao and Guan Yu waited and waited, but they were disappointed when they couldn't wait for Yuan Shu to respond.

At night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao called Xi Zhicai and his eldest son Cao Ang.

"Zhicai, someone wants to lead an army to a decisive battle with Guan Yunchang tomorrow."

After seeing the two people come in, Cao Cao didn't beat around the bush, but directly expressed his feelings.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Xi Zhicai was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly dissuaded him, "My lord, Guan Yu is powerful now, and we only have [-] soldiers and horses under our command, which is far from his opponent. In between, we still wait." Yuan Road in the city..."

"Humph!"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao sneered, and even his eyes were full of contempt.

"Zhicai, do you think Yuan Gonglu dares to leave the city to fight Guan Yu?"

"This……"

Xi Zhicai was at a loss for words.

"The general situation is over, the general situation is over..." Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "Although he Yuan Gonggong is a prince, he didn't even have the courage to die calmly when he was about to die. It really insulted his Yuan family blood."

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

Cao Cao seemed to be expressing his contempt for Yuan Shu, but he was sighing for himself.

If he had started like Yuan Shu, even if he could not unify the world, he would never end up like this.

Xi Zhicai sighed, and persuaded again: "Even if Yuan Gonglu refuses to go out of the city to meet him, my lord shouldn't fight Guan Yu. Forgive me, this move... is like hitting a stone with an egg."

"Someone naturally knows about this matter."

"Since my lord knows, why bother..."

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked very seriously, "Is there any other way out for us?"

Xi Zhicai was speechless again, even though he was extremely intelligent, he had no countermeasures in this situation.

If you are unwilling to surrender, it seems that there is really no other way out.

After a moment of dazed attention, Xi Zhicai suddenly understood Cao Cao's intentions, and then his eyes widened with shock on his face.

My lord is...seeking death!
Cao Cao smiled calmly and said: "It seems that you have guessed it too, so there is no need to say more. After the death of XX, you should surrender. Liu Xuande has always treated the surrendered ministers kindly, and you will not have to worry about your life. In this way, I, the Cao family can also be preserved.”

Although he fought against Xuzhou several times, Cao Cao still abided by the bottom line of a big man's courtiers, and he was not a big treacherous or evil person.

If you really want to surrender, Liu Bei will still accept it.

"No, why did father say such a thing!"

Before Xi Zhicai could speak, Cao Ang jumped up suddenly and shouted: "We still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even if we lose to Guan Yu, we can escape far away."

"Flee away, where are you going?"

Cao Ang quickly replied: "Go to Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, the world is so big, why worry about the place where you live, and hope that your father will take it back!"

But Cao Cao still shook his head and sighed, "I can't leave, and I don't want to, you won't understand..."

Unlike Cao Ang, who was born in troubled times, Cao Cao has seen the prosperity of the Han Dynasty with his own eyes. He also personally led the army to take part in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and even witnessed the world from peace to disintegration.

Now that the troubled times are coming to an end, the situation is irreversible, and Cao Cao doesn't want to continue to resist.

Although he is an opponent, Cao Cao understands that Liu Bei will be a good emperor, and Lin Chao is a genius that has never been seen in a hundred generations.

Since I can't beat them, I might as well accept my end.

Speaking of it... If I had accepted Liu Bei's kindness and became an official in Xuzhou, I might have been the one who attacked the Hulu and wiped out the aliens last year.

General Han Zhengxi... That was my dream when I was young!

Instead of being called a traitor and traitor after death like now.

Cao Ang wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Cao showed determination in his eyes.

"I have made up my mind, don't persuade me any more."

Cao Ang's eyes were also shining with determination, and he said loudly: "Then tomorrow, I will go to battle with my father, shrouded in horse leather!"

"madness!"

Cao Cao frowned and said: "You and my father and son died together, who should we rely on in the future? We are not afraid of death, but we still have to implicate our family. How stupid!"

After a pause, Cao Cao calmed down and said, "Zixiu, your eldest father, mother, younger brother and others still need your care, and you must not seek short-sightedness. Once my father dies, Liu Xuande will definitely treat my Cao family well, but in your heart Do not harbor resentment.

On the road to hegemony in the world, you must lose openly if you lose, you understand! "

At this time, Cao Ang had already burst into tears, and replied with a sob: "Father, I understand."

"It's good that you can understand, then you have nothing to worry about."

Cao Cao nodded, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as the words fell, Xi Zhicai looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "My lord, I really admire death, please go with me."

"Why do Zhicai say this? With your talent, if you surrender to Liu Xuande, you will be reused. Why die with a certain person?"

Xi Zhicai didn't reply, instead straightened his clothes, and then smiled at Cao Cao: "My lord was born at an untimely time, and I will also be born at an untimely time. If that's the case, it's better to go back together. Besides, the road to hell is far away, my lord It would be too lonely to walk alone."

Cao Cao moved, "Zhicai, are you serious?"

"What joy is there in life, what is there to fear in death. I started in humble beginnings, and thanks to my lord's pity, I can use what I have learned in my chest. Now that my lord's righteousness is about to run out, why should I steal my life?"

"Okay, although you and I cannot make meritorious deeds in life, we should walk side by side in death!"

"It's my luck to die with the lord!"

That night, after Cao Cao explained his funeral, he sat opposite Xi Zhicai and drank until he was very drunk.

On the second day, Cao Cao rectified his army and horses, and launched a suicide charge against Guan Yu's army.

It's just that besides Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others were accompanying him.

In this final battle of Cao Cao, he abandoned the Yuzhou pastoral title that Yuan Shao had invited him on the table, and even a series of other titles were also abolished.

On the big banner, only one official position is reserved-General of the Great Han Zhengxi!
The battle started early in the morning and ended at sunset.

At the last moment of the battle, when the soldiers under his command died or surrendered, Cao Cao took up the weapon himself and fought hand-to-hand with the imperial army.

Cao Cao didn't put down his weapon until he was surrounded by Guan Yu's army and there was no need to struggle anymore.

"Cao Mengde, it's not too early to surrender, when will it be!"

Guan Yu ordered the army under his command to shout in unison, but it did not affect Cao Cao's mood.

"Everyone, it's almost time."

Cao Cao looked at the crowd who followed him all the way, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of freedom and ease.

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others all bowed their hands to Cao Cao and said:
"Congratulations to the lord!"

Keng!
Cao Cao drew out his sword from his waist, put it on his neck, and shouted to Guan Yu and others in the distance: "I am the general of the Han Dynasty, and even if I die, I will be a Han minister!"

Whether he is one of the princes or not, such a critical moment will definitely be recorded in later history books.

So Cao Cao's shout was not for Guan Yu and others, but for later historians.

After saying that, Cao Cao laughed up to the sky and killed himself.

When Xi Zhicai and others saw that Cao Cao was dead, they all cleaned up their makeup, worshiped Cao Cao's body again, and then committed suicide one after another.

Those who followed Cao Cao in this final battle were all determined to die, and there was no embarrassing situation of temporary repentance and unwillingness to die.

Seeing this scene in the distance, Zhao Yun couldn't help sighing: "When Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated and committed suicide in the past, all his subordinates surrendered, but now Cao Mengde committed suicide, and everyone followed..."

Guan Yu nodded, and said, "They are all loyal people. Pass the order down and don't damage their corpses."

With or without companions, nearly ten years after Yuan Shao's defeat and suicide, Cao Cao followed in his footsteps.

The pair of best friends in childhood ended up with the same fate after all.

Since he committed suicide under Guan Yu's nose, he was not beheaded, and there was no scene of soldiers scrambling for Cao Cao's body, but Cao Cao left a whole body.

The first year of destiny, the third day of July.

A generation of heroes Cao Mengde, after the defeat... slayed himself and died!
