Chapter 881: Cao Cao's Thoughts
After a while, Li Ru and the three followed Xu Chu to a high ground, on which a camp tent was erected, surrounded by dozens of elites.
When Li Ru saw it, he couldn't help sneering, and he had to admire Cao Cao's boldness. It can be seen that he is in the situation of Yanzhou, maybe when the ghost god Ma Xi will lead the troops back to kill, and once he meets him, he will pounce to kill. However, when Li Ru remembered the existence of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he was immediately relieved. With the support of these two peerless gods, the world is so big, where can it go?
"Hahahaha~~!! Wenyou, you're here. Come up quickly, Miaocai and that Zhang Wenyuan seem to have started a war, looking at this battle from a distance, the two seem to be fighting fiercely!! Suddenly, a burst of laughter with a bit of excitement and a very heroic wind came. When Li Ru heard this familiar voice, his color changed instantly, although he had expected it, but when he heard Cao Cao's voice, he couldn't help but be frightened, and his whole body was tight.
"Yuan Shu is really defeated! Now the Cao family has the treasure land of Huainan again, and after that, the rising trend, I am afraid that no one can stop it! In a few years, Cao Thief will stabilize the situation, and in the name of the Son of Heaven, he will conquer the princes in various places, which will be like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, so that it is only a matter of time before he gets the world! Li Ru's dark color changed, and suddenly he seemed to have been robbed of his strength, and there was indescribable bitterness and grief in his heart, but he still had to force a bitter smile, and after answering respectfully, he was ordered to rush there.
When he was young, Li Ru got off the horse, and saw that he was wearing a battle armor, and he still looked like a dusty servant, and at a glance he knew that Cao Cao, who had returned from the war, was surrounded by soldiers, and Dian Wei was not far behind him, waiting silently.
"It seems that I can't fight this Cao A's secret!" Li Ru sighed lightly, but suddenly he was a little relieved, after all, he had tried his best, but in the end his skills were not as good as others, although he hated but had no regrets, but his face still had a bleakness that could not be concealed, and he walked away quite lonely.
"Strategist!!" The henchmen who came with Li Ru wanted to go, but they were stopped by Xu Chu, who had a cold face, and pulled up a tiger's head knife, and one of them couldn't help shouting.
But Li Ru ignored it, walked to Cao Cao's side quietly, and suddenly knelt down on both knees. When Cao Cao saw it, he silently withdrew his gaze looking at the distant battlefield, glanced at Li Ru on the side, held his short beard, and said with a smile: "Beautiful!" โ
Li Ru's body shook sharply, but he lowered his head even lower. Cao Cao said with a smile: "Wen You's strategy is really beautiful. You deliberately delayed the war in Yanzhou, so that those rebels in Luoyang could prepare secretly in time when Luoyang was empty and there were no defenders in Hedong. And you are secretly observing in the army, just waiting for Miaocai and Zhang Wenyuan to fight to defeat both, take the opportunity to leave, rush back to Luoyang, and instigate a rebellion against thieves, in order to subvert my Cao clan and avenge my revenge for destroying the Dong clan back then! โ
Just listening to Cao Cao, he was not in a hurry, and his flat tone was like an outsider, saying things that seemed to have nothing to do with him. Li Ru gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say anything.
"Huh!" Cao Cao sighed, but he was feeling sorry for Li Ru, and then said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that although your strategy is wonderful, you have found the wrong opponent, and you underestimate me Cao Mengde." You never expected that I would end the war in Huainan so quickly and see through your treacherous schemes. I might as well tell you that within five days, the army under my command will rush back to Luoyang one after another to defend it, and I will also send my subordinates to Luoyang to stabilize the situation first. โ
"Wow~~!! Cao thief~~!! You don't want to get sรจ, this blood sea is hard to revenge, but I won't let you go when I am a ghost~~!! At this time, Li Ru's two henchmen finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly had a seizure. One of them, even frantically, took out a dagger from his bosom and was about to pounce on Cao Cao. was stopped by Xu Chu, and flew away with a knife, cutting off his head. The other one also had a sudden attack, and rushed towards Cao Cao like a powerful ghost. Xu Chu was unhurried, took out a huge stone from the cloth bag on his waist with his other hand, and threw it at will, but the speed of the flying stone was extremely fast, and it slammed into the head of another person, and he died of a headshot on the spot in an instant.
The two died one after another, but except for Xu Chu, no one in Cao Jun changed color. Cao Cao didn't even frown, as if nothing had happened, he walked in front of Li Ru step by step, looked down at him, looked down on him, looked at him with contempt, and said coldly: "Li Wenyou, Li Wenyou, I don't know how many people under my command persuaded me to kill you back then, so as to put an end to future troubles." But I have compassion on thy talents, and have not only spared thee thy life, but have also reused thy virtues. But you've disappointed me. For so many years, not only have you refused to take a strategy for me, but you have even been making trouble in secret. If someone hadn't noticed, I would have almost been ruined by you!! What do you think I'll do with you!? โ
I only heard Cao Cao's tone gradually change, from the indifference at the beginning, it gradually became a little regretful, and finally it was a little helpless and desolate.
Even Li Ru, who almost subverted the Cao family, Cao Cao still sincerely cherishes it! It can be seen that everyone in the world says that Cao Cao's love is crazy, and this is true!
But Cao Cao's kindness, Li Ru didn't appreciate it at all, suddenly raised his head and got up, his eyes were red, his face was distorted and hideous, like a fierce ghost full of resentment, he tried his best to shout in front of Cao Cao, foaming at the mouth: "Cao thief!" You are less in this false benevolence and false righteousness, I Li Wenyou only serve the Dong family all my life, and on the day of the death of the Dong family, there will be no Li Wenyou in the world!! I've been putting up with it until now, but it's just for revenge!! I only hate the sky and have no eyes, and you see through my plan~!! โ
Seeing that Li Ru was less than half a zhang away from Cao Cao, everyone was still not in turmoil, because whether it was Dian Wei's flying halberd or Xu Chu's featherless arrow, they could kill Li Ru in an instant before he attacked. And Dian Wei and Xu Chu had already set their eyes on Li Ru at this time and prepared secretly.
"Hehe, it's not Cao who sees through your plan." Cao Cao wiped the saliva from his face and smiled unhurriedly. Li Ru's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look around, and hissed angrily: "Who is that~!? โ
"It's me!"
A gust of wind struck, and he saw a tall figure in a black robe with a golden silk robe, a steady pace, and a dark aura of wisdom exuding from his body, even Li Ru was startled, but soon his eyes widened again, and he exclaimed: "Jia Wenhe is you!? โ
Seeing Jia Xu's expressionless face, he arched slightly, and said lightly: "Master Li is worthy of being the think tank of Xiliang, and Jia has learned it." โ
Speaking of Jia Xu and Li Ru going out of Xiliang together, this sentence seems to be respectful, but it is full of irony.
Sure enough, when Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh half-madly: "Hahahahaha~~!! It turns out that I was defeated by your Jia Wenhe!! Are you taking revenge for the lord's refusal to pay attention to you!? โ
"Master Li is too careful. With Master Li giving advice around the Dong family, there is no need for a small person like Jia. Jia Xu was still expressionless, and said extremely flatly. Or it was his lukewarm attitude that made Li Ru even more annoyed, and he was so angry that his face was full of green tendons and squirmed, and his neck also spit out green tendons like earthworms, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow Jia Xu alive.
"Huh." At this time, Cao Cao laughed and said unhurriedly: "Li Wenyou, you don't know the hearts of good people." This Jia Wenhe seems to be vicious and ruthless, but in fact, he is cold and hot-hearted, but you don't want to be in my Cao clan now, many of the old Xiliang departments have sincerely surrendered, and some have even remarried and had children, and rebuilt their families in my Cao clan's jurisdiction. If you rebel now, it will be good once it succeeds, but if you fail, I am afraid that many of these people will be implicated, and how many people will be ruined and killed? Maybe when this matter comes out in the future, those old Xiliang troops will hate Jia Wenhe, but they don't know that without Jia Wenhe, they may face a catastrophe. In this way, I think Jia Wenhe is the savior of the Xiliang people, and it is definitely not you Li Wenyou! โ
Cao Cao said eloquently, Li Ru's face changed dramatically at first, the more he heard it, the more shocked he became, and in the end, the whole person was stunned as if he had been hit by a great blow, how funny it was, how funny it was.
Jia Xu, who was said by Cao Cao to be a great benevolent person, responded indifferently: "The lord is too careful." Jia only hopes to be able to make meritorious contributions and serve the Lord, how can he have such a superfluous mind to worry about those incompetent remnants. โ
"Hah!" When Cao Cao heard this, he sneered, and immediately glanced at Jia Xu, and suddenly, as if on a whim, he pulled out the Yitian Sword from his waist, and then threw it on the ground, laughing extremely brightly: "If this is the case, you might as well kill this thief to prove your loyalty!" โ
When Jia Xu heard this, his complexion finally changed, and his sharp and slender eyes widened slightly, but he only hesitated for a while before taking a step.
"Wait!!" Li Ru drank suddenly, Cao Cao turned to look at it, and asked with interest: "Oh, don't you still have a last wish to say before you die, and you can say it, for the sake of being a talent, Cao can do a little bit of his best." โ
"Hmph, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, this is an eternal truth. Li has fallen to such a point, in addition to his lack of ability, it is also time and life! But I still have a question! โ
"You say!"
"You know my tricks, why don't you immediately teach Xiahou Miaocai to withdraw his troops and return to prevent chaos in Luoyang?"
"Hehe, that's easy." When Cao Cao heard this, he first smiled, then stretched out two fingers and muttered, "There are two reasons. On the one hand, if I weren't like this, with your Li Wenyou's ingenuity, how could I be so easy to show my feet. And many of our army are from the old Xiliang department, and they killed you for no reason, and these people are afraid of resentment. And I will wait for you to fail, and then get rid of you, so that you can be justified and appease the army! โ
"Cunning!!" When Li Ru heard this, his face turned cold, and he suddenly understood why Cao Cao was able to form such a huge force, this person's mind was too delicate!
Cao Cao ignored Li Ru's insults, and continued: "The two, the so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and if you want to become a handsome talent, you need to sacrifice more." Miaocai is a rare general under my command who has the ability to be a general, except for Cao Zixiao. But after being defeated by Zhang Wenyuan, there was always a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome. And that's exactly the case, but I deliberately let Miaocai fight to the death with him again, and help him overcome the hurdle in his heart, so it should be a military training! โ
