On the shore of Gushui, Cao Cao's breath became weaker and weaker, and when Yu Ban came to Cao Cao with Wuyi, he saw that there was only one breath left.

When Xu Chu saw Wuyi, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he drew his sword and said angrily: "Thief, I will kill you!" ”

Wu Yi ignored him, and just bowed to Cao Cao: "I've seen Cao Gong!" ”

"Zhongkang, stop!" Cao Cao raised his hand with great effort to stop Xu Chu: "Da Lang is now taking advantage of the advantage, it is for righteousness, you kill him at this time, although you can vent your anger, but you and I will bear the name of injustice after death!" ”

Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't kill him, it's hard to vent the hatred in your heart!" ”

"Kill him, I will regret Jiuquan!" Cao Cao motioned for Cao Hong to drag Xu Chu away, looked at Wu Yi and said with a smile: "This bearing is not bad, it has the style of a general, but it is a little reckless." ”

"Cao Gong is kind to me, I can't let Cao Gong go, but now that Cao Gong is recruiting, there is a danger to his life, and righteousness must come, I have left a military order, if I am held hostage, the soldiers of the three armies will not take care of my life, and will immediately shoot everyone, including below!" Wu Yi bowed.

"Okay, bold." Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled: "Sit with me!" ”

Wu Yi nodded, followed Cao Cao, sat on the bank of this Gushui, looking at the slowly flowing Gushui, Wu Yi did not speak, but Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's a pity, you can't capture me alive." ”

"Cao Gong, I have something I don't understand!" Wu Yi frowned and asked.

"Say." Cao Cao nodded.

"Why don't you surrender when you're at the end of your rope? You and the lord, and even make friends, even if you surrender, the lord will definitely treat Cao Gong well, why is this? Wu Yi frowned and asked.

"Why is that?" Cao Cao looked at the river, shook his head and said: "Da Lang, if I am like you, I am assisting others, and I will definitely surrender when I am poor, but there is no turning back between me and Bodao, either the power of the world, or the death of the soul, there is no third way to go." ”

Why? Wu Yi didn't understand.

"When the old people get together, don't talk about these unhappy things, you don't want to take me to see him, the living Cao Cao doesn't want to see him." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I don't want the young man who was quiet in the past to become a general now." ”

Wu Yi shook his head: "Cao Gong has a reputation. ”

"If you go back, help me tell Bo Dao...... If he can hunt Jiangdong one day, please try to protect my wife and children. Cao Cao didn't say much, yes or no, the world has to evaluate, is Wuyi a general? At least in Cao Cao's opinion, the current martial arts are qualified.

"I'm going to bring that." Wu Yi nodded.

"Also, Jiangdong or Liu Bei, if you want to fight against Chen Mo, you must take Xichuan, Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, is weak, not the master of things, it is not enough to strategize, if you want to win the world, you should first take Bashu, Bashu is determined, then the world is decided, if Bashu is obtained by any of the two families of Sun and Liu, then the world will suffer from war, I know that Bodao has the ambition to level the world early......" Speaking of this, Cao Cao sighed regretfully and said: "Originally, this matter should have been done by me, but now that I am defeated, the world can only be determined by him, and no one else can do this." ”

Wu Yi hesitated, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Duke Cao hates the lord?" ”

"Hate!" When Cao Cao heard this, he gritted his teeth: "If he and I joined hands back then, if it was decided today, my brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun would have died at his hands, and now Yuan Rang and Miao Cai would also die in the chaos, and half of my Cao family would have fallen into his hands, do you think I should hate!?" ”

Wu Yi nodded, if he said this, he really should be hated, but how can there be immortals in a war? If you have the ability, you will report back, and if you don't have the ability, you can only admit it, and sometimes there is no distinction between national enemies and family hatred.

"But as I said before, this road is a road of no return, since Bodao and I have both embarked on this road, it is naturally a matter of life and death, but it's a pity...... In the end, I was unable to see him again. Cao Cao looked at Wu Yi: "I know what you want to ask, but Jiangdong helped me after all, and now that I am defeated, I can't drag them down." ”

Wu Yi nodded, and he never thought of asking Jiangdong again to answer the position of the people.

Cao Cao didn't talk about anything else, but instead began to talk about some trivialities, talking about his woman, talking about his son, and comparing with Chen Mo's son, talking and talking, there was no sound, and when Wu Yi looked at it, he saw that Cao Cao's head was already lowered and he was silent.

Wu Yi sighed, got up, silently saluted Cao Cao's corpse, and turned his head to look at the generals.

"Lord!" Xu Chu burst into tears, knelt down in front of Cao Cao with a pop, kowtowed three times, and then got up, looked at Wuyi, and pulled out the knife with red eyes.

Wu Yi's eyes sank, took a step back, and stretched out his hand to press the knife.

"Don't kill you, it's the last order of the lord, although I want to kill you, I'm afraid that the lord under Jiuquan will blame!" Xu Chu glared at Wu Yi coldly, then put the knife across his neck and roared angrily: "Wait a minute, the lord will come!" ”

After speaking, he suddenly pulled the handle of the knife, and in the blood splattered, Xu Chu's burly body fell straight beside Cao Cao.

"Wait a minute, Lord, Cao Hong is here!" In Wu Yi's shocked gaze, Cao Hong did not hesitate to draw his sword and kill himself.

Wu Yi looked at the corpses of the two, was silent for a long time, and then looked at Yu Ban, Mao Jue, and Li Dian on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Three, the dispute between my lord and Cao Gong, although there is a grudge, but now that Cao Gong is dead, with the ability of the three generals, if you are willing to serve, my lord will not treat you lightly, and I hope that the three will think twice!" ”

Yu Ban hesitated for a moment, and finally did not seek death, Wu Yi continued to persuade: "General Lejin is now serving in Xiliang, if the three are willing, they will ask the lord for the three generals to ask for their lives, and send the three generals to the border to protect the territory and the people, and they can also leave their names in history." ”

Since Cao Cao is dead, although Cao Ang and others have been sent to Jiangdong, but it is difficult to become a climate, after this battle, the Central Plains are all obtained by Chen Mo, they have accompanied Cao Cao to the end, which is considered to be loyal to Cao Cao, and now that Cao Cao is dead, it is hesitant for them to continue to follow and seek death.

In the end, Yu Ban and the three chose to remain silent, allowing Wuyi to arrest them and bring them to see Chen Mo along with Cao Cao's corpse.

Beihai, Gaomi, has now been captured by Chen Mo.

When Wu Yi brought the corpses of Cao Cao, Xu Chu and others and Yu Ban and others to see Chen Mo, the Qingzhou region was basically under Chen Mo's control.

"Lord, the last general will have the great trust of the lord, and if you fail to invite Duke Cao back, please surrender to the lord!" Wu Yi saluted at Chen Mo.

"What a sin." Chen Mo smiled reluctantly, came to Cao Cao's corpse, and looked at Cao Cao's corpse, Chen Mo sighed: "Brother Meng De, between you and me, why is this so?" ”

Is it uncomfortable?

It's really uncomfortable, after all, it's a former friend, but now it's killed by his own hands, to say that it's not uncomfortable is false.

But Chen Mo does not regret it, if Cao Cao is let go, with Cao Cao's ability, he knows that he can't make a comeback, since Cao Cao is unwilling to surrender, then death is the best result, and Chen Mo will not do this kind of thing like letting the tiger return to the mountain.

After a moment of melancholy, Chen Mo ordered Cao Cao's body to be collected and prepared to be sent back to Chen for burial, which could be regarded as allowing Cao Cao's soul to return to his hometown.

After arranging all this, Chen Mo looked at Yu Ban and the three of them, and appeased them again, only letting them temporarily be under his command, and helping him send Cao Cao's body back to his hometown for burial.

After arranging everything, Chen Mo let the generals leave and continue to recover the cities in various places, Cao Cao is dead, Qingzhou is no longer hindered, and the next thing is to govern Qingzhou.

"My lord." After the generals left, Wu Yi came to Chen Mo's side, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Before Duke Cao was alive, he had a last word to tell the lord about the general. ”

"What?" Chen Mo looked at Wu Yi and smiled.

"Jiangdong Sun, Jingxiang Liu Bei, if you want to fight against the lord, you must go to Xichuan, Cao Gong said before his death, if the lord wants to calm the world, he should go down to Xichuan first, Xichuan is fixed, then the world is determined, if Xichuan is obtained by any of Sun Liu's family, the world will suffer from war." Wu Yi bowed.

Chen Mo nodded, if his guess was correct, Cao Cao's final target was Xichuan, but now Cao Cao obviously couldn't go.

"Got it." Chen Mo sat down, rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and said, "Da Lang, I feel uncomfortable. ”

Wu Yi nodded, but did not make a sound, he didn't know how to comfort him.

After being silent for a while, Chen Mo rubbed his face and said, "This time I go back, I need a truce for a few years, look at my wife, child, this is very tiring to fight the world, and I am tired." ”

"Lord, Duke Cao said, there is no way back on your road, and the lord knew that Duke Cao would not come back?" Wu Yi said with some curiosity.

"yes, there's no way back." Chen Mo nodded, looked at the dark sky outside the door and said: "But sometimes, I always hope that he is not so resolute, I know that there will be this day, but I don't want this day to come." ”

Wu Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

"That's it, let's not talk about that." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "This time I go back, I am going to promote you to the general of the expedition to the west, you should prepare, the matter of the expedition to Shu, you may have to be in command in the future, you make more preparations, send more people to Xichuan to inquire about intelligence, draw a map, I also have some information here, you go to see for yourself when the time comes, we will sweep the world as soon as possible, and end this damn war." ”

"The last general......" Wu Yi frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to be competent, there are many people in the army who are stronger than the last general, why don't you choose another virtuous one?" ”

"It's easy to say in other places, but Shudi, only you are suitable." Chen Mo got up, patted Wuyi's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't think you can do it, just prepare more, after this battle, it will take at least five years to fight again, give you five years to prepare, is it enough?" ”

"I will do my best!" Wu Yi bowed.

"I can't do my best, Xichuan must be taken, Mengde's words, you have also listened, I don't want this war to last too long, within ten years, I want to pacify the world." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"Well, the last general will live up to the trust of the lord." Wu Yi bowed and said.

"Go and rest, there's still a lot of work for us to do." Chen Mo patted Wu Yi's shoulder and smiled.

"The last will retire!"
