Chapter 32
Shouchun.

Xun Yu's mourning hall.

Xu Chu cleared the way and escorted Cao Cao into this extremely simple room.

Xun Yu, who used to be the Minister of the Han Dynasty and had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, has now turned into a cold corpse, lying in the coffin.

Xu Chu's face stinks.He always had a stinky face when facing others, but now, it is even more stinky.

A few days ago, Cao Cao sent a food box to Xun Yu.

Xu Chu thought they had reconciled.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Xun Yu committed suicide.

Claimed to the outside world, died of illness!
It was lonely before the spirit, not only was there no one to worship, but even the incense was not served.

After offering incense before the coffin, Cao Cao signaled Xu Chu to leave.

When the room was empty and only Cao Cao was left alone, he laughed.

"You are proud, Liangzhou was taken by Liu Bei."

Cao Cao was neither sad nor angry at this time, only indifference remained.

After going through the storm, the indifference when seeing old friends reunited.

"But let me tell you, it's useless!"

"I have already asked Zhu Ling to build a warehouse, and Lu Zhao to rectify the situation. Even if Liu Bei gains the Yi and Liang states in the end, he will be trapped to death by me."

As Cao Cao spoke, he seemed to have heard the laughter of his old friend in the coffin.

"If there is a spirit under your spring, you are already calling me a traitor by now, right?

Or do you want to call yourself a widow after laughing at me? "

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu's spiritual seat, and seemed to feel tired, so he sat down next to his spiritual seat.

Just like the countless days and nights back then, they discussed important military affairs side by side, dealt with foreign enemies, and when they were tired, they just sat down and rested casually.

"Wen Ruo, you are my friend!"

"You know, I have a lot of friends in my life, but few are sincere."

Cao Cao broke his hands and counted.

"Yuan Shao counts as one, but I killed all his heirs, and killed all of his Yuan's [-] surrendered troops, so as not to leave any future troubles. Who let him die and leave behind a few unworthy sons?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao himself laughed.

The former four generations and three princes, the former high-ranking lord, and the Yuan family who once stomped the Han Empire would be shocked three times, just fell at his feet.

It's so embarrassing, it's so ridiculous.

So much so that Cao Cao still feels so happy when he thinks about it.

"Chen Gong is one of them, but he demoted Lu Bu and stole my Yanzhou. In fact, I didn't want to kill him that day at Baimen Tower. As long as he is soft, begs for mercy, and tells me that he is wrong, then I will let him go and let him return to me. The high-ranking officials and rich people will take care of him. But he is determined to die, and I can't help it."

"The next thing is Guan Yu. I don't know if he considers me a friend, but I have always regarded him as a confidant. In him, I seem to see another me, a dream of a perfect general Zhengxi with a heart in the Han Dynasty. He also left, and went with the big-eared thief. Now in Jingzhou, he beat Le Jin to shackled in Xiangfan, not daring to move. If I knew the situation now, would I let him go? In fact, I don't know."

"You are one too. But in the end you betrayed me and helped the big-eared thief."

Having said this, Cao Cao's face became more angry.

"I hate betrayal the most in my life, especially when I help that big-eared thief!"

"What's so good about this guy, hypocrisy!"

Cao Cao spat lightly, guessing that time was running out, so he stood up.

At this time, the incense in front of Xun Yu's coffin was about to run out, and Cao Cao continued it.

"Do you know how I felt when I heard that the big-eared bandits were about to enter Chengdu?"

A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face again, but it was different from before, with a hint of sarcasm in the smile.

"Happy!"

"I'm so happy!"

"The big-eared thief has been hypocritical all his life, and now he has finally broken his merits. Liu Zhang is not Tao Qian and Liu Biao, who would be so stupid to give up his territory to the big-eared thief. The big-eared thief has no time to play the trick of three words and three concessions."

Cao Cao's face turned red, and he let out a low growl, expressing his joy.

"He stole Liu Zhang's foundation, how is he different from me, Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao's voice was not low, but Xu Chu was guarding the door, and no one dared to approach the mourning hall.

After venting, Cao Cao adjusted his clothes and bowed again.

"Having said so much, I just want you to know that you are wrong, very wrong!

You misread me, Cao Cao,
I also misread the big-eared thief! "

Cao Cao turned around and walked towards the gate. Before opening the gate, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Lord!"

"Who guards Xun Yu's mourning hall?"

"It's a few small officials from the government office!"

"Twenty sticks!" Cao Cao said with anger, "Change a new group of people and tell them that if the incense in front of Xun Yu's mausoleum is broken again, I will take their heads."

"promise!"
-
Yizhou.

Outside of Chengdu, the stars are extraordinarily bright.

Liu Bei stood on a small hill, looking at the city of Chengdu in the distance.

Chengdu is strong and has a lot of savings, so it is difficult to take down by hard attack.

Even if it is defeated, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not intend to attack the city at first.

A dilapidated city of Chengdu did not meet Liu Bei's expectations.

At this time, his subordinates went to counties and counties in Bashu one after another to reorganize the army, resettle officials, and resume production.

The order in Bashu has gradually stabilized.

But if Chengdu does not surrender, Bashu will not be considered stable.

"Zilong, although I won Bashu, I lost the hearts of the people, is that okay?"

Zhao Yun stood by Liu Bei's side, beside the guards.

Facing Liu Bei's question, Zhao Yun also remained silent.

"Or do you think I really did something wrong?"

Zhao Yun shook his head.

"Lianjing's cross-benefit is the right thing to do. What's more, at that time, the lord and all the soldiers were already in jeopardy, and Liu Zhang blocked the main roads in various places. If he didn't fight hard, would he still come to Chengdu to ask Liu Zhang for forgiveness?"

"Even so, I can't help being a thief!"

Liu Bei smiled, and no longer entangled in these things in his heart.

"How is the battle at the front?"

"Ma Chao turned back to Baishui Pass after forcing Xia Houyuan back. At this moment, Zhang Lu gathered his troops at Yangping Pass, as if facing a big enemy. However, Yangping Pass is difficult and difficult to break through. Taking Hanzhong may not be easy."

"Where's A Dou?"

"After the young master persuaded Ma Chao to surrender, he found some attendants in Liangzhou. According to Junjun Pang, a young man named Jiang Wei is quite good."

Liu Bei nodded.

He didn't bother to care about Liu Chan's affairs.

Let him make a fuss!
"The Hanzhong matter can be put aside for the time being, let Ma Chao come, I want to see him! The key to the battle in Chengdu is still up to him."

"promise!"

Liu Bei looked at the majestic city ahead, and at this moment the emotions that had been stored in his heart for a long time were bursting out.

He wanted to vent, but his culture was limited, so in the end he plagiarized a famous saying from his old Liu family.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"
