Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 687: Old Mystery Revisited
For Cao Cao, what he saw unexpectedly when he entered the city made him much more excited.
He even took the initiative to go to the courtyard where Liu Bei lived temporarily under his command until Liu Bei sent someone to reply.
"In the past, when we visited Xuchang, we went out and sat at the same table, but now we should be the same as before." I gave up this idea.
In fact, that's all. After all, at this time, Prime Minister Cao's legs were only fixed, and only his hands could move. When he opened his sleeves, they were still covered in bruises.
It can only be said that after entering the city, young members of the Cao family were thrown over to temporarily take care of their daily lives, so that they would not be too embarrassed.
But as dusk fell in the western border of Jinwu, Prime Minister Cao, who could only lie on the bed and enjoy the scenery, could not help but feel sentimental.
Thirty years of foundation has been lost, and life and death are unknown, and the future is uncertain.
On the thirteenth day, the heavens and the earth fell, and the most powerful minister became a prisoner.
What's more, we don't even know whether the son who has blocked my future is dead or alive.
At this time before today, he was probably looking at the map and thinking about breaking points with a bowl of cold fish soup.
Now that I don't have to think about this, I feel even more desolate.
Fortunately, someone unexpectedly came to visit, temporarily interrupting this self-pity.
"Is Gongda okay?"
Cao Cao was very happy to be able to move his hands and hold the other person's hand.
Xun You has been bedridden for a long time this year, and his condition has been getting worse and worse. He thought he might not survive this year, but he didn't expect to be able to get out of bed and walk to visit him at this time.
"You are so ashamed. If it weren't for the physical drag, I would have been able to gain energy by accompanying Ming Gong..."
Waving his hands, Cao Cao did not believe him the most. After all, the pain in his body reminded him all the time that the power of what Zhang Fei called all kinds of exaggerated words was indeed comparable to the method of banishing an immortal.
"It took less than half a month for the front and back raids, and all four sides were defeated. Not to mention the victory, there were few who could even resist for a day."
"Zhuge Kongming deserves to be Liu Xuande's humerus, and he is truly unparalleled in the temple."
Xun You was speechless:
"But during the previous battle between Jingxiang and Xiangyang, didn't Ming Gong still say that the Ge family was probably an over-reputed person..."
"Ahem!"
With a cough, Cao Cao forcibly ignored the topic and sighed:
"Don't call me Ming Gong. If Gongda doesn't give up calling me Meng De, I know your talent. Where is Liu Xuande..."
"Ming Gong!"
Xun You raised his voice and looked at Cao Cao without saying anything. After a while, Prime Minister Cao sighed with a smile:
"With Gongda here, I won't have to worry about eating blood when I go to the underworld."
"Ming Gong!" This call was somewhat sad, so Cao Cao smiled and simply said something else to Xun You.
For example, the momentary defeat seen in the military formation, such as Liu Bei's lies, such as the exhausted old people seen when entering the city, such as...
"What Ming Gong said may not be the nonsense of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect."
After Xun You listened quietly, he suddenly mentioned an old incident:
"It is also said that before he was sent to Jiangdong for detailed work, Liu Bei's subordinates would have private gatherings at the end of March..."
Having said this, Cao Cao also recalled that after all, it was not difficult to monitor the movements of important figures in one force, and the time was too fixed, so people couldn't help but be curious.
Jiang Dong used the time to no avail, so he shared this information as a bargaining chip, but there was nothing he could do to Cao Cao.
Liu Xuande seems to be personally present at every gathering, and the people present...can they bribe Yunchang or Zhang Fei?
"Gongda thinks that our defeat is related to the March Meeting?"
Xun You nodded slowly, sighed softly and said:
"For half a year, Wen Ruo has been worried about my illness and has come to take care of me from time to time, so he has some concerns about the world's affairs..."
"Even if we don't say that the public army array saw anything that could make people thunderous, Liu Bei's speed in conquering the various states is already amazing."
"Xiangfan was devastated by the war and turned into an empty city. Last year, our army entered from Biyang. The sentries approached Xiangfan and looked at it from a distance. They said..."
"There is a state of recovery." Cao Cao still remembered it after reading the record.
He suddenly remembered Zhang Fei's three questions that were like thunder piercing his head. Gongda's words at this time were still covered for him, but how could he not know how Xiangfan became an empty city?
"Not to mention Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and even Luoyang..."
Xun You was about to count them one by one, but Cao Cao interrupted him with a dull look on his face:
"I already know this... Wen Ruo now..."
Xun You was a little embarrassed when he heard what Cao Cao said, but in the end he truthfully confided:
"In the evening someone saw Liu Bei, the general of the left, visiting Wen Ruo."
There were mixed feelings in his heart for a while, but thinking about Xun Yu's indifferent expression when he expressed his intention to become king, Cao Cao finally managed to laugh:
"In this case... Wen Ruo can finally show off what he has learned. Fortunately, it will be revealed."
There was naturally no wine here, only cold boiling water prepared by Liu Bei's soldiers.
But it is obviously white water, but it tastes a little bitter in the mouth.
Xun You saw that Cao Cao was not in a good mood, so he simply explained:
"If we calculate based on the period of three months, tomorrow will be the day when Liu Bei's men will discuss it again."
"The mystery here may be revealed tomorrow, but it may not be known..."
"tomorrow……"
Cao Cao pondered and finally raised his glass again.
Seeing Xun You sitting for a while and then leaving, he simply went to bed without anything else to do.
I thought that the bed was not soft enough and that there would be a sword at my side at any time, so I would not be able to sleep peacefully, but as soon as I opened my eyes and closed them, it would be bright and clear.
And Zhang Fei’s voice that can be heard ten miles away:
"Prime Minister!"
"Are you still alive!?"
Zhang Fei, who rushed in like a storm, didn't give Cao Cao a chance to choke. He put him under his arm and turned around to leave without saying a word.
This made it difficult for Prime Minister Cao to hold back his expression. His angry voice was clearly heard by the Cao clan members inside and outside the courtyard:
"How dare you! Put me down!"
Zhang Fei, who had jumped onto his horse, tilted his head:
"Really?"
Of course not. He could accept being defeated and killed by Liu Bei, and he could also accept being killed by the inexplicable Shenwei cannon yesterday.
But being stuck on the horse and falling off the horse to death was absolutely unacceptable.
So he simply covered his face with his robe sleeves and changed the subject:
"Zhang Fei, you still didn't think it was enough to humiliate me yesterday?"
Although he said so, Cao Cao didn't have much anger in his words, and he could even say that he had some expectations.
After all, at this time and direction, the previous entangled reasons for the defeat, the mystery mentioned by Xun You, and Liu Bei's performance after going south, which was completely different from when he was in Xuzhou, seemed to have finally come to the moment of revealing.
But there was an unexpected person standing in the way of the answer to this mystery.
"Second brother, you are here!"
Zhang Fei shouted from afar, with sincere feelings.
Guan Yu, who looked a little tired, reined in his horse and looked back, with a smile on his face:
"Yide!"
After Gong'an County, the two brothers went north to repel Cao Cao and settle in Jingbei for several years.
One of them went to Yizhou and passed Hanzhong, threatened Yongzhou and went on an expedition to Liangzhou, covering a distance of thousands of miles.
Now that they finally meet, there are thousands of words to say, but in the end Zhang Fei still urged:
"Second brother, don't take off your armor, eldest brother must be waiting, go quickly."
Until Guan Yu walked away, Cao Cao under Zhang Fei's armpit put down the sleeves covering his face, and said faintly:
"Yun Chang's style is indeed better than before."
Zhang Fei smiled:
"Then why didn't you say hello just now?"
