Chapter 440: Difficulties(2/2)
Is it evening now? Did Tao Ying traitor come to the camp at night?”
Guo Jia nodded and choked and said, "Lord, please rest assured, our soldiers have noticed that the pottery thieves have robbed the camp and are strengthening the camp guards. The pottery thieves' team will not have the chance to break into our camp."
"A traitor." Boss Cao sighed, his voice a little louder. After listening carefully to the movement outside the tent, Boss Cao suddenly discovered something strange and asked again: "The team of pottery thieves is here to rob the camp,
Why didn’t I hear the shouts of killing?”
The Cao army, who was reminded by the boss Cao, was stunned and confused, and then suddenly discovered this strange thing - the Xuzhou army had not launched even one attack on the Cao army camp when it was approaching the Cao army camp.
Allow Cao's army to strengthen the camp defense and wait for the sneak attack to lose its opportunity! Surprisingly, Cheng Yu simply blurted out: "What the hell is the pottery thief? Why not attack?"
"Send some people to see the situation and come back to report me." Boss Cao said with a difficult order.
Dian Wei quickly sent the guards out of the tent. After a while, the guards rushed back to the tent, knelt down in front of the sickbed of Lao Da, and said, "Report to the lord. The team of pottery thieves is only arranged three miles outside our military camp. But for some reason
He did not launch an attack on our army. In addition, our scouts also discovered that the traitor's commander flag also appeared in the enemy's formation."
"The traitor Tao Ying came in person?" Boss Cao was even more confused and said, "Then why didn't he attack? Our army was in a hurry to meet the enemy. It was impossible to hide it from his scout's investigation?"
No one can answer the question of Boss Cao. Boss Cao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Does Tao Thief know that I am going to die? So he refused to take advantage of my danger?"
"Does Tao Thief have such kind intentions?" Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dian Wei and others looked at each other, and they all felt that Boss Cao's judgment was extremely ridiculous.
Boss Cao smiled with difficulty. He didn't speak, but just closed his eyes and listened to the movements outside the tent.
I don't know how long it took, Xiahou Ba rushed into the tent excitedly and shouted to the people in the tent: "Don't you be happy, the Taoist thieves retreated! I don't know why, the Taoist thieves' team suddenly retreated westward.
!”
"Have you retreated? How is that possible?" Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others shouted in disbelief.
Boss Cao also opened his eyes and said in a weak voice: "Tao Ying, there may be an envoy, or a letter. Go and see. If so, send the envoy or letter directly to me, and there must be no mistakes.
”
Just as Mr. Cao expected, after a while, a messenger rushed to the outside tent to report that the Xuzhou army had sent an envoy to send a letter after retreating. Mr. Cao was overjoyed and urgently ordered the guards to
He presented the letter to him, but after the letter was sent, Boss Cao had no strength to get the letter, his eyes were still blurred, and everything was blurred. Boss Cao had no choice but to give a difficult order: "
Read it to me, no word is allowed to be missed immediately."
Guo Jia took the letter and opened it and looked at the contents roughly. Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh and said, "Lord, Tao Ying only wrote one sentence on the letter."
"That sentence? Read it quickly." Boss Cao urged.
Guo Jia cleared his throat and recited: "The right and wrong, merits and demerits are commented on by future generations. In my heart, you are a hero."
After reading it, Guo Jia added: "Lord, Tao Ying is at the end of the letter, and there is another sentence for me. It is said that when the letter is reached, if you have already..., please cremate the letter to you.
Before the spirit.”
Boss Cao looked melancholy, and after a while, he murmured: "In my heart, you are also a good son-in-law."
After sighing, the boss Cao, who could not see anything, murmured and said, "After my death, the army will be temporarily under Zhang Liao, Jun Ming and Ye Yi will be deputy, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu will be assisted, and abandoned Hangu Pass and Ji Pass.
…, retreat to Tongguan, listen to the orders and commands of my eldest son Cao Ang. Remember…, remember, don’t..., don’t avenge me….”
After saying that, Cao Cao had no movement anymore. Guo Jia and others hurriedly looked forward and looked at him. They were shocked to see that Cao Cao had no breath and had already passed away.
Almost at the same time Cao Cao passed away, Deputy Director Tao, who was leading the army to retreat to the road, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest, as if he was suddenly hit by a heavy object. He couldn't help but look back at the Cao army camp.
Direction, my heart is filled with melancholy.
……………………
When the news of Cao Cao's death reached Xuchang, Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Mai, who was only fourteen years old, rushed back to his home immediately, rushed to the bedside where he had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed for nearly six years, and cried.
He reported the good news to Yuan Shao and told Yuan Shao who hated Cao Cao deeply, saying that his brother-in-law finally avenged Guandu for Yuan Shao and severed Xuchang's hatred.
In contrast to what the young Yuan Mai expected, after hearing the news that his mortal enemy Cao Cao finally died, Yuan Shao, who had hated Cao Cao to the core, not only did not show any joy, but his eyes were full of loss and depressedness. After a long time,
Yuan Shao, who had not been able to speak for the past six years, suddenly said a vague sentence, "Meng De, you and I are really a difficult brother."
