Chapter 861: Killing Cao Cao Under the Moonlight

The sound of the rushing wind echoed outside the tent.

Cao Cao woke up from his deep sleep, perhaps because of his old age or perhaps because of a headache.

His sleep quality is getting worse and worse, and he will wake up at the slightest noise outside.

Cao Cao was wrapped in a quilt.

He was the only one lying on the couch, with the soft bear skin that his son Cao Zhang had obtained from hunting beneath him.

It was dark inside the tent, but he could see lights on outside.

The soft light reflected a tall figure in the tent.

Every time Cao Cao saw Xu Chu's back guarding the door, his anxiety would be relieved.

Xu Chu has always been his most trusted general.

But even if that person was there, there had to be a sword beside his couch when he slept.

Only by holding the sword tightly can he feel at ease.

I like to kill people in my dreams.

Cao Cao thought of this lame excuse to prevent someone from assassinating him while he was sleeping.

He closed his eyes and tried to make himself fall asleep again and spend the long dark night.

But when people get old, every organ in their body starts to betray them and no longer works according to their wishes.

Including the brain.

I said I wouldn’t think about those things, but many complicated and annoying things came to my mind again.

He thought of Guan Yu who was in Fancheng, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

If at that time, he had not rejected Guan Yu's request and given Du Shi.

Are the situations different now?

It’s a pity that time cannot be reversed.

Although he admired Guan Yu at that time, his admiration for Guan Yu was not yet to the extent that it could overshadow his admiration for Du's beauty.

It was not until Guan Yu took Yan Liang's head from the midst of thousands of soldiers that Cao Cao felt his heart beat faster and he conferred the title of Marquis of Han Shou Ting on him.

He wanted to keep Guan Yu to work for him.

But Guan Yu resolutely resigned from his official position, gave up the high position and generous salary he had given him, and defected to Liu Bei, who had nothing.

Such actions made Cao Cao even more regretful. Why couldn't Guan Yu be used by him?

In the dead of night, Cao Cao felt regretful for the umpteenth time.

This special feeling made Cao Cao want to lead the army to Fancheng personally, but he didn't want to do that.

He even had an idea in his mind that Guan Yu would defeat Xu Huang and ride his horse to him, just like he did when he took Yan Liang's head amidst thousands of troops.

What should I say at that time?

Such conflicting emotions intertwined in his heart made Cao Cao feel more and more that it would be difficult for him to sleep well tonight. Would he like to have a midnight snack?
When this thought came to his mind, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that when he was young, he once laughed at Yuan Shu, thinking that Yuan Shu was too pretentious. He even brought so many jade, jewelry, and silk with him when he marched into battle, and never forgot to enjoy himself.

Now, Cao Cao looked down at the quilt, the surface of which was smooth silk.

The difference between him and Yuan Shu is probably that he survived to the end.

Cao Cao fell into the memories of his youth in Luoyang again.

Originally...

Suddenly, the sound of Xu Chu talking to someone came from outside the tent. Cao Cao came to his senses and shouted outside, "Xu Chu, what happened?"

"King Wei, Yin Shu has returned on horseback, saying that there is urgent military information that needs to be reported to you in person."

Xu Chu answered truthfully.

Cao Cao sat up quickly, and the pain in his head seemed to be far away at this moment.

Yin Shu was one of the generals he sent to support Xu Huang. He rushed back on horseback, indicating that extremely important military information had occurred on the front line.

And this military intelligence is likely to be bad news.

If it's good news, there's no need to rush to deliver it to him overnight.

Yunchang, did he really create a miracle?!
When Cao Cao thought of this, he felt a raging fire burning from within his dry body.

Maybe this is the last battle in life.

Cao Cao wanted to do his best to win this war, "Quick! Please let him in!"

Xu Chu lifted the door curtain, and immediately a eunuch came in and was responsible for lighting the lights in the tent, so that the light could dispel the darkness.

Cao Cao hugged the quilt and sat casually on the couch.

He was not tall, and his face was full of age. His eyes were like a vulture seeing rotten meat, cold and domineering.

Anyone with a guilty conscience would feel their legs and feet go weak when being glanced at by these eyes.

Xu Chu stood silently on the left.

Four armored soldiers entered one after another, followed by Yin Shu.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with weak legs, his face pale, and shouted: "King Wei is in big trouble!"

Cao Cao remained calm. He had experienced many ups and downs in his life, including the high-spiritedness before Red Cliff and the determination to cut off his beard and discard his robe at Tongguan.

"With me here, the sky won't fall. How can Guan Yu break through Gongming's camp and defeat you?

Tell me one by one. "

Cao Cao crossed his legs, still with an excited expression on his face.

Yin Shu said bitterly, “King Wei, Guan Yu received help from the gods and turned into a giant fire man.

The soldiers of the three armies, including General Xu, had already surrendered to Guan Yu, and his subordinates risked their lives to rush back to report the news to the King of Wei.

You must not go to Fancheng!"

Cao Cao was ready to listen to what clever ideas Guan Yu had, but he never imagined that Yin Shu would make up such a lie.

"Guan Yu received help from the gods?"

He remained calm, and only Xu Chu, who was familiar with him, understood that the King of Wei was very angry.

"Yin Shu, are you kidding me?"

Yin Shu shook his head and said loudly, "King Wei, how dare I lie to you? If you don't believe me, send someone to Yancheng to find out the situation. General Xu and the soldiers of the three armies have surrendered.

I'm afraid that Fancheng has been conquered by Guan Yu with the power of the gods."

Cao Cao frowned slightly.

If he were younger, he would definitely drag the man out and behead him immediately and would not believe in ghosts or gods at all.

But since he got old, he had to be skeptical about some things and could not firmly believe like he did when he was young that those people were just playing tricks.

But if Guan Yu really received help from the gods, doesn't that mean he was standing against the gods?

After Cao Cao figured this out, his expression became even more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Yin Shu is talking nonsense, abandoning the army and fleeing, and he still dares to spread rumors here to confuse the people.

Zhongkang, kill him for me."

"Follow the order!"

Xu Chu stepped forward wearing heavy armor.

Yin Shu was horrified and begged for mercy, "King Wei, I am loyal to you and I never lied!"

"cut."

Cao Cao replied lightly.

Without saying a word, Xu Chu drew his sword and slashed at Yin Shu's neck. Then he exerted force with both arms and chopped off his head with one blow.

The head rolled to the ground, and the blood dyed the sand red and yellow.

Those eyes were still open as they stared at Cao Cao.

He stared back calmly.

Over the years, he had killed so many people that he had become immune to the looks in their eyes before they died.

Cao Cao stood up from the couch and said, "Send people to Yancheng and Fancheng to get information, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Noise has always been prohibited in the army.

"what happened?!"

Cao Cao shouted outside.

Someone hurriedly ran out of the tent and shouted, "King Wei, there is an enemy attack!"

Cao Cao was startled and asked hurriedly: "How many enemies are there?!" "One!"

"Who?!"

"He calls himself Guan Yu, Marquis of Han Shou Ting."

Hearing the soldier's report, Cao Cao was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the scene he had imagined in his mind would actually come true.

Guan Yu came out from the midst of thousands of troops.

Xu Chu was usually taciturn, but this time he became anxious, "King Wei, the situation is not right, you should retreat for a while."

"Zhongkang, you are usually proud of your bravery, are you afraid this time?"

Cao Cao smiled carefreely, even taking off the quilt on his shoulders and throwing it away casually, and said excitedly: "Beat the drum!
Announcement to the three armies: whoever can kill Guan Yu will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, be made a marquis, and be appointed General of the Cavalry!"

……

Boom boom boom!
In the dead of night, the sound of drums suddenly spread throughout the Wei army camp.

The well-trained Wei army began to move from top to bottom to the beat of drums. With shouts, the soldiers who had armor quickly put them on.

If not, just pick up your weapon and run outside.

Sima Yi was awakened by the drums. He was shocked and ran out of the tent barefoot without even wearing shoes, shouting to everyone around him, "What happened?"

"Listening to the drumbeats, there may be an enemy night attack."

The answer from the personal soldier made Sima Yi's mind sober up a little.

This is Mobei!
It is located more than a hundred miles west of Xudu and more than four hundred miles north of Xiangyang. Where could the enemy come from?
Sima Yi thought about it briefly, and a horrifying idea came to his mind. Could it be that after Guan Yu defeated Xu Huang, he did not return to Jiangling and Gong'an for support, but instead killed his way here?

impossible!

Sima Yi did not believe such an outrageous thing, and did not go back to put on his clothes. He mounted his horse barefoot and galloped towards the central army where the King of Wei was.

His talents have already been demonstrated to the King of Wei and the Crown Prince Cao Pi, and what he needs to show now is his loyalty. Therefore, dressing inappropriately is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary, it can win points in front of the King of Wei.

Sima Yi rode his horse closer to the King of Wei's central military tent and understood where the enemy was coming from.

That's the direction of Xiangyang...

He subconsciously moved closer and heard the neighing of war horses and the roar of soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves made the ground tremble slightly.

This is the most elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

What kind of troops did Guan Yu lead?
He actually managed to hide from the King of Wei's spies and kill his way here!
Sima Yi's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but change his mind and move forward, and instead approached the fighting scene again.

He looked through the gap between the tents and saw a scene he would never forget.

There is no brave army.

There was only one man and one horse, with corpses all over the ground behind him and countless broken flagpoles sticking diagonally into the ground.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was swung like a farmer harvesting straw.

Heads flew up one after another.

Even the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry wearing armor could not withstand the slashing of the blade.

That's Guan Yu!

Sima Yi sat on the horse in a daze, not wanting to go to the King of Wei's tent again.

He had heard before about Guan Yu's feat of taking Yan Liang's head amidst thousands of soldiers.

I always thought that it was because Yan Liang was too close to the front that Guan Yu saw the opportunity and killed him in one fell swoop.

But he didn't expect that Guan Yu was probably 57 years old this year.

One man and one horse ran all the way from Fancheng to Mobei.

Sima Yi has always been conceited about his intelligence, but he just couldn't figure out why Guan Yu came here to kill him.

Won’t you be tired?
He looked around and saw that the assembled soldiers were so terrified by the scene before them that they dared not move forward.

I don't have the ability to chase after him.

While they were stunned, Qingze had already killed his way through the camp and continued to move towards the central military tent where Cao Cao was.

……

"Brother, run!"

Xiahou Dun whipped his warhorse wildly and galloped to the King of Wei's central military tent. He was fully armored, with a black eye patch on his left eye, and his face was full of anxiety.

If someone had told him a moment ago that he would choose to abandon the army and run away because of one person, he would definitely be slapped in the face and scolded.

Now, he only regretted that his warhorse had not been born with four legs.

Xiahou Dun racked his brains to figure out what kind of magic Guan Yu used to become so brave.

One man killed his way through the entire army.

"Haha."

Cao Cao did not run away, but said excitedly: "Yuan Rang, do you know?

Yin Shu told me before that Guan Yu was helped by the gods.

I was skeptical about the surrender of Xu Huang and the three armies, but now I believe it."

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Guan Yu was so brave. He said anxiously, "Brother, now is not the time to joke. You should quickly retreat to Xudu, no, Yecheng!"

"There's no use running."

Cao Cao waved his hand, his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing fire, "Besides, Guan Yu fought his way through thousands of troops to come to me. How can I avoid such enthusiasm?"

Xiahou Dun still wanted to persuade.

Boom! The tall gate of the village was split open by Qingze, and the logs were scattered on the ground. The soldiers gathered in front of the gate were frightened and panicked, and they squeezed frantically towards the people behind them.

Outside was a bloody road paved with corpses.

Qingze holds the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and rides the Red Hare.

Ta-da, the sound of horse hooves was very loud in the dark night.

The soldiers in front of him fled in panic like puppies seeing a tiger.

Cao Cao shouted excitedly: "Yun Chang, how are you?"

Qingze's gaze crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and fixed on the old man in yellow clothes.

He looks no different from an ordinary old man, but his eyes and the heroic spirit that radiates from inside are enough to make people know that the old man is not an ordinary person.

"Prime Minister, it's time for you to get going."

Qingze's tone was gentle, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, but that didn't stop him from wanting to kill Cao Cao with one blow.

He squeezed the horse's belly and the Red Hare charged forward.

The soldiers in front didn't dare to stop them and fled in all directions.

When Xiahou Dun looked around, he saw that even his personal soldiers could not withstand the pressure and fled.

He took a deep breath, drew his sword, and shouted: "Guan Yu, as long as I am alive, I will not allow you to harm the King of Wei!"

In just two steps, Qingze's sword light cut through the darkness, rolled up the one-eyed head, and rushed forward without stopping.

Xu Chu said nothing, drew his sword and stepped forward.

A trace of sadness flashed across Cao Cao's eyes.

He has seen the end.

The knife flashed in the air like jumping lightning.

A head flew up.

The regret and unwillingness in Cao Tao's heart turned into a sigh, and the problem that had troubled him for most of his life finally came to an end at this moment.

He no longer needed to wonder why Guan Yu was unwilling to work for him.

"bring it on!"

Cao Cao opened his arms. He had used others as stepping stones all his life. Now it was time for him to taste what it felt like to be a stepping stone for others.

This scene will surely be recorded in the history books of later generations, and the name Guan Yu will also be remembered by the world.

The bravery of Yu is unparalleled throughout the ages!
Cao Cao's face was full of smiles.

Da, the horse's hooves approached, Qingze swung his sword to cut off Cao Cao's head, and then continued to gallop forward without stopping.

He likes the feeling of spurring his horse.

Guan Yu in the space was very sure that at this moment, the world would belong to the King of Hanzhong.
