Chapter 247: The Aftermath (I)

Chapter 247: On the Aftermath

Guan Yu's body was buried in a coffin and parked in the hall where Cao 'Cao' convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

Cao 'Cao' heard the news of Guan Yu's death, and rushed over early. Looking at Guan Yu's corpse in front of him, Cao 'Cao' felt a faint sadness in his heart.

When he heard that Xiahoudun led his men out of the city, Cao 'Cao' knew that his purpose was to intercept Guan Yu.

For Xiahoudun's move, Cao 'Cao' was very surprised. In his impression, Xiahoudun would never disobey his orders, he would never say two if he said one by himself, and it was impossible for him to make his own decisions and act without authorization as he did today.

However, while being surprised, Cao 'Cao' was more worried, worried about Xiahoudun's safety.

To what extent Guan Yu is powerful, Cao Cao' knows very well, that is a peerless powerhouse known as "ten thousand enemies". Although Xiahoudun and himself are like siblings, Cao 'Cao' knows that Xiahoudun is definitely not Guan Yu's opponent.

Even if Xiahoudun took away a hundred tigers and leopards to ride, Cao 'Cao' still couldn't feel at ease. You must know that Guan Yu is in Guandu and Saibei, and he has killed hundreds of enemies, can this hundred tiger and leopard cavalry really deal with Guan Yu? Cao '' has no confidence at all.

If Xiahoudun was injured by Guan Yu or even died at the hands of Guan Yu, what should he do? Once the pessimistic thoughts are generated, they cannot be suppressed, and if this situation really happens, Cao 'Cao' doesn't know how to face it.

So Cao 'Cao' immediately sent Zhang Liao to chase after him, not asking for anything else, but hoping to recover Xiahoudun before something happened to him.

But when Zhang Liao was ordered to go out of the city, Xiahoudun had been away for a long time, and although Zhang Liao was hurrying, it was impossible to predict whether he could catch up.

Therefore, Cao's uneasy mood has not been able to calm down.

He was really afraid, afraid that when Zhang Liao returned, he would bring the news of Xiahoudun's death.

But the ending was really beyond his expectations, Xiahoudun did follow Zhang Liao back safely, but what made Cao '' unbelievable was that the one who was brought back by Zhang Liao with Xiahoudun was Guan Yu's corpse!

Xiahoudun was not injured or died in the hands of Guan Yu, and Cao Cao was naturally relieved, but the news of Guan Yu's conferment still shocked and saddened him.

Needless to say, after Lu Bu's death, Guan Yu can be described as a first-class fierce general in the world, although Xiahoudun took people and horses out, but there were only 100 horses in total, and it was still extremely difficult to intercept Guan Yu, almost impossible. However, Xiahoudun did it, no matter how he did it, Guan Yu's body was already there.

And Guan Yu's death really made Cao '' sentimental.

Guan Yu has never really wanted to serve himself for a long time. He helped himself to resist Yuan Shao, just to facilitate his escape from Cao Ying after making meritorious service, and to help himself conquer foreign races in the north, but for the sake of national righteousness. Once all kinds of things were over, Guan Yu couldn't stay for a moment longer, and he was anxious to leave Cao Ying and return to Liu Bei's side.

But despite this, in the face of Guan Yu's death, Cao '' was still sad. Even he didn't know why he felt sad for a general who wanted to turn his back on him. If it were someone else, and wanted to turn his back on himself so blatantly, I am afraid that I would have ordered him to be killed a long time ago. Yes, I had an agreement with Guan Yu at the beginning, but as a hero who aspires to the world, will I still be bound by this agreement? The threat of letting Guan Yu go can be seen by himself, and he has at least a hundred ways to deal with the criticism he may receive after killing Guan Yu. It stands to reason that Guan Yu is determined to abandon himself, so he must kill him as soon as possible.

But it was this Guan Yu who made it impossible for him to make up his mind to kill the other party, and finally agreed to his request for release. It's just this Guan Yu who will make himself sad for the death of a general with a hostile position.

Why? Why is this happening? Although Guan Yu is brave and loyal, there is no shortage of fierce generals under his command, and there is no shortage of loyal generals, what is so special about this Guan Yu that he can not forget to such a point?

With Cao's '' peerless hero's mind, he couldn't figure it out, he only knew that at this time, there was always a trace of sadness in his heart.

The generals and strategists of the Cao army lined up on both sides, watching Guan Yu's body.

Gao Shun also stood in it, but his eyes were not on Guan Yu's corpse, but on Cao 'Cao' not far away.

He could feel that what Cao 'Cao' showed at this time was real sadness, not hypocritical artificiality. What's more, in the face of Guan Yu's death, Cao 'Cao' has no need to deliberately be hypocritical.

Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh a little, Guan Yu's death could make Cao Cao's '' so sad, it seems that his status in Cao's '' heart is really not low. Cao 'Cao' once said, "I'd rather bear others, don't let people bear me", and those who worked as hard as Xun Yu in history were also given to death by Cao 'Cao' without hesitation because they might hinder Cao's hegemony. But for Guan Yu, a person who never thought of serving Cao Ying sincerely, Cao 'Cao' behaved so tolerant and generous, which really made Gao Shun sigh.

Of course, Xun Yu's death was done by Cao 'Cao' in his later years, and there will always be some changes in people's mentality when they get old. Maybe now Cao 'Cao' still maintains a state of mind of "'sexual' lover", and when he gets old, he becomes a little taboo. Cao 'Cao' can tolerate Guan Yu's farewell, but he can't tolerate Xun Yu's "betrayal", may this be one of the reasons?

Looking at Cao's '', Gao Shun thought 'messy' in his heart.

After killing Guan Yu, Gao Shun ran back alone.

Of course, this was Xiahoudun's idea, and he had to bear the responsibility for killing Guan Yu alone.

At first, Gao Shun resolutely opposed Xiahoudun's proposal. Gao Shun is not a person who likes to shirk responsibility, although he was half-pulled by Xiahou to join the ranks of chasing Guan Yu, but this trip is still out of his own will after all. What's more, Guan Yu died under his own gun, which is an unchanging fact. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "The Invincible of the Three Kingdoms" written by the thunder
