Chapter 439: Showdown
Cao Cao hurriedly said:
"Yun Chang misunderstood Cao this time, if he killed the three generals on the battlefield, Cao would admit it even if Yun Chang was jealous, but ......"
Cao Cao didn't continue,
Instead, he took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu took the secret letter,
Take a closer look,
The face gradually became more gloomy,
Most of the above is the information of the previous days,
At the end of the information, the cause of Zhang Fei's death was briefly explained.
Seeing this, Guan Yu already believed most of it,
Hand back the secret letter to Cao Cao,
Raising his head in confusion, he said:
"Meng Degong, Fang is Guan someone misunderstood, and I also asked Meng Degong Haihan. This should be the news a few days ago, I don't know what Meng Degong told me at this time......"
The change in Guan Yu's title,
Let Cao Cao's hanging heart let go,
Hurriedly spoke:
"It's okay, it's okay, in fact, Cao Mou refused to tell me before because he was afraid that Yun Chang would be too sad. But today, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da actually took the initiative to come to defect, wanting to use this matter to find an official position in Cao Someone, how could Cao Someone accept such an ungrateful person, not to mention that they still have a blood feud with Yun Chang, so I tied up the two of them and let Yun Chang dispose of them. ”
After a pause, Cao Cao continued:
"If Yun Chang thinks that Cao has ulterior motives, Cao will admit it."
Guan Yu didn't speak again when he heard this,
Just shook his head,
A pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly,
Got up and walked out of the house,
Cao Cao knew that he was going to see Fan Jiang and Zhang Da,
As soon as he left, Xiahuen walked in,
Nodding towards Cao Cao,
Signaling that people and things were handed over to Guan Yu,
Cao Cao waved his hand casually,
Let Xiahuen retreat.
Not long after, a terrible scream came from outside the house,
The voice is mixed with endless fear,
And one after another begging for mercy,
As if the person who made the sound,
is going through something terrible,
Even if it's just listening to this miserable voice,
will make people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
The screams continued from the sunrise to the afternoon,
And then it went on until night,
The last is not over until the hour is almost over,
Guan Yu dragged his tired body back into the house again,
Seeing that Cao Cao was still waiting here,
There was a look of surprise on his face,
Then there was a wisp of shame and deep emotion.
Cao Cao was also looking at Guan Yu,
At this time, Guan Yu exuded a violent aura all over his body,
There is still a heavy bloody aura on his body,
But his face finally relaxed,
It's not as cold as when you go out in the morning.
Guan Yu respectfully hugged his fists and said:
"Sikong-sama......"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said:
"Yun Chang, you don't need to talk to me about those kind words, and you are not a person who is good at saying these things."
After a pause, Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu and asked:
"Can the knots in my heart be diverged?"
Guan Yu nodded slightly,
bowed his head and groaned for a long time,
Respectfully saluted Cao Cao and said:
"Meng Degong's great kindness and love, Guan Yu is inscribed with five feelings, it's not that Guan Yu doesn't know what to do, after all, he had formed a righteous alliance with the eldest brother and the third brother earlier, so Guan Yu couldn't do that kind of thing to vote for him. I heard that Sikong is now troubled by Yuan Shao, although Yu is not talented, he is willing to solve this worry for Meng Degong! ”
Cao Cao heard this,
My heart shook violently,
What he was waiting for was Guan Yu's words,
Now it's finally here,
But there are also some regrets in my heart,
Listen to the meaning of Guan Yu's words,
He still has to return to Liu Bei's side in the future,
When he sighed in his heart Liu Bei's good luck,
I can't help but lament a little,
Why is Liu Bei still alive in the world.
"Yun Chang's willingness to make a move is really a blessing for Cao!"
"Meng Degong, but there is a word in the next place, when it comes to Jizhou, Meng Degong no longer needs to go down, please let me leave to find my brother!"
Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Cao Cao,
He said this with great seriousness.
Although Cao Cao guessed this result,
Still couldn't help but take a deep breath,
After a long time, he nodded solemnly.
Guan Yu respectfully saluted Cao Cao again,
"Can you allow it to be in the next day, after burying my third brother tomorrow, I will rush to the front line in the next day!"
Cao Cao hurriedly got up and said:
"That's how it should be, isn't it too hasty in one day, although Yuan Shao is powerful, but Cao is not afraid of him!"
Guan Yu reluctantly smiled and said:
"Thank you Meng Degong for your kindness, but one day is enough."
"Good! Then Cao Mou didn't disturb Yun Chang, rest early! ”
"Congratulations to Meng Degong!"
Bidding farewell to Guan Yu, Cao Cao rode on a horse,
Raise your head and look at the bright moon in the sky,
Relieved, he exhaled a breath of depression.
Early the next morning,
Guan Yu held a burial ceremony for Zhang Fei,
Since there are only heads,
Therefore, the mage was asked to make a body overnight and bury it up and down.
In the afternoon, when the coffin was ready to be buried,
Suddenly a small yellow door came,
In his hand he read a decree,
It means to thank Zhang Fei, the third brother of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, for his loyalty to the country and the merit of destroying the Yellow Turban,
Therefore, he was deliberately posthumously named the Marquis.
Although this is just an empty marquis,
But it is enough to make Zhang Fei extremely glorious,
Guan Yu understood in his heart,
This must be Cao Cao's instructions,
From here, it is not far from Xu County,
But it's not close, but it's not close.
If you want to arrive at this moment,
At least they sent someone there early yesterday morning,
And this is still an eight-hundred-mile expedited
I don't know how many batches of fast horses are tired to death,
Guan Yu's heart was even more moved.
After Zhang Fei was buried in person and erected a monument,
Guan Yu wore a plain suit and went north to the battlefield.
When Guan Yu appeared on the battlefield,
It's been two days,
As soon as he appeared, he threw off his armor and killed Gao Gan in three moves.
led the Cao army to rush and kill,
Immediately stabilized the formation,
With the addition of Guan Yu and the thousands of troops urgently dispatched by Cao Cao,
Cao Cao's army finally gradually pulled the balance of victory back.
The news that Guan Yu appeared on the battlefield of Cao Yuan,
was informed by Liu Bei for the first time,
With this news,
and Cao Cao's courtesy,
and Fan Jiang and Zhang Da fled to Yanzhou with Zhang Fei's head,
was sent to Guan Yu by Cao Cao.
When he understands all this,
was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot,
He always thought that Guan Yu had died in battle,
I never thought that not only was he not dead,
was even put under house arrest by Cao Cao,
Now it's even more to help him.
And what they learned,
The most ingenious thing is that
Guan Yu just temporarily helped Cao Cao with this detail in order to repay his kindness,
and not revealed,
This is what makes Liu Bei angry the most.
"Whoa!"
Liu Bei overturned all the items on the bookcase in front of him,
Still with the only one arm that is left,
Slammed the bookcase,
Raising his head, he shouted angrily:
"I'm mad at me! I'm mad at me! ”
At this moment, only Sima Fu was present in the study,
He bowed slightly and whispered comfortingly:
"The Lord is angry! The Lord is angry! ”
"Stop the rage!? How can I appease this anger!? The third brother was killed by a traitor, and the second brother actually served my enemy, this is God playing tricks on me Liu Xuande! ”
While talking,
Liu Bei's face was distorted.
"Lord, maybe this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster......
Sima Fu said softly,
In Liu Bei's ears, it was tantamount to thunder on the flat ground,
He looked at Sima Fu in shock,
The face distorted by anger gradually calmed down,
Then it slowly became gloomy.
Sima Fu glanced at Liu Bei's face,
A slight smile in my heart,
But his face was always silent,
"My lord, I thought this matter was really strange."
Liu Bei frowned and looked at Sima Fu intently,
The latter's brows were also tightly furrowed,
As if contemplating,
"Lord, think about it, the second general was captured after the break, Cao Cao obviously released the news that would make our army even more jealous, but why did he just release the news that he was killed, and when our army asked for verification, they did not deny it."
Liu Bei rubbed his chin with one hand,
Looking at the ground, it is very deep.
Sima Fu then spoke:
"And ......"
After saying half a sentence,
Sima Fu stopped,
looked at Liu Bei very embarrassed,
It seems difficult to speak.
Liu Bei said lightly:
"Shuda, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Sima Fu swallowed his saliva, and then said:
"And the timing of the death of the three generals is also worth scrutinizing, although the war is unfavorable on our side of Xuzhou, but Yuan Shao sent a large army south, Cao Cao is at the most critical moment, it coincides with the death of the three generals at this time, and the second general did not appear on the battlefield to help Cao Cao not long after, if there is nothing greasy, it is really a little unbelievable in the next commission."
Liu Bei's expression became iron-blue,
Teeth clenched in one place,
His gaze became as cold as the cold wind blowing from the cold caves of the Nine Lands,
Sima Fu wisely closed his mouth,
He did not continue to speak.
Liu Bei stood up and paced back and forth in the room,
Sima Fu wisely closed his mouth,
The oil and the fire are almost all added,
All that needs to be done now is to wait.
After a full meal,
Liu Bei stopped suddenly,
Standing on the spot, he turned his head to look at Sima Fu,
His eyes were like lone wolves, cold and cold.
Although Sima Fu looked calm,
But the bottom of my heart involuntarily overflowed with a chill,
Now he's starting to be a little afraid,
There is some weakness in my heart, after all, there are some small movements,
Once it is found out,
He had to be implicated.
But what he feared didn't happen,
Liu Bei didn't seem to suspect him,
A deep voice sounded slowly:
"Shuda, isn't there a super master from the Ninja of the Wa Country?"
Sima Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this,
reacted immediately,
After the ninja sent to Xuchang died inexplicably,
These ninjas are said to have spotted the traces of their opponents,
On the premise of continuing to help Liu Bei,
Mobilize some manpower from the country again,
And this time among the ninjas who came,
It is said that there is also a legendary super ninja,
But the ninja is very mysterious,
Even Liu Bei and others have never seen it,
Even his strength can't be examined,
Just know from other ninjas,
The strength of this man has been superb,
It was he who Liu Bei was talking about at this time.
"My lord, are you talking about the legendary one?"
Sima Fu asked cautiously.
Liu Bei nodded heavily,
His eyes were fixed on Sima Fu and said:
"Ask him to do it...... Kill Cao Cao! ”
"What!"
Sima Fu was really surprised this time,
His original idea was just to entangle Liu Bei and Cao Cao,
so that he can make some sufficient profit from it,
and some more insidious purposes.
But Liu Bei is angry now,
actually made the decision to assassinate Cao Cao,
Thinking about it a little in my heart,
immediately weighed the pros and cons of this matter for him,
He was pleasantly surprised to find that this decision was beneficial to him.
Liu Bei nodded gloomily,
"Doesn't the Wa Kingdom want to collect intelligence on our territory? Promise them in exchange for that guy's hand. ”
Sima Fu was shocked,
Liu Bei didn't give him a chance to speak at all,
Then he said:
"But it can't be too cheap for them, let them send more men and horses, and give me a big purge of Cao Cao's command."
After hearing this, Sima Fu hurriedly said:
"Lord, isn't this price a little too much?"
Liu Bei sneered when he heard this,
Squinted his eyes,
"Isn't that what you want?"
Sima Fu shook slightly,
The limbs become cold,
I couldn't help muttering to myself,
The head is slightly lowered, and the eyes keep spinning in circles,
Searching in my mind as fast as I can,
I don't know where I'm going wrong,
made Liu Bei doubt himself.
Liu Bei looked at Sima Fu with deep eyes,
"Everyone takes what they need, and if you do this well, you are still my military advisor."
The voice was cold without the slightest emotion,
It's like coming from the Nine Hells.
Sima Fu raised his head and looked at Liu Bei curiously,
At this moment, now that Liu Bei already knows these things,
He didn't have those fears.
Now Sima Fu just wondered how Liu Bei noticed these things,
And, how much did he really know.
As if he guessed the question in Sima Fu's heart,
Liu Bei said to himself:
"Although I don't have your wisdom and Yan Xing's bravery, I still have some experience in the art of recognizing people. There is a lot of greasy between you and Yan Xing, and between you and those Japanese ninjas, and the reason why I don't say it is because it doesn't hurt me, but I've reached this point now, hehe. ”
Liu Bei rubbed his cheek with one hand,
Looking at Sima Fu dangerously,
There was a threat in the words.
Sima Fu closed his mouth,
He knew very well what Liu Bei meant,
Before Liu Bei had a brother and a horse,
In other words, there is strength and confidence in the hands,
So there are some things that as long as they can't touch his scales,
When you open your eyes and close your eyes, you pretend not to see,
After all, he also needs each other,
But now the two sworn brothers are dead and rebellious,
The territory originally occupied is also in danger,
He has to think about countermeasures for these time bombs around him.
If you can't let it be used for yourself,
Then let's shoot two and scatter, everyone should not fall behind,
After all, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes,
Liu Bei is now a complete gambler,
If there is a chance to turn the book, we must seize it.
"Lord, we are the ones who advance and retreat together."
Sima Fu spoke slowly,
Gazing at Liu Bei, he said.
