"Lord, there is no need to hire a doctor."

Xi Zhong's face was pale, and finally blood kept gushing out, and he said with a chuckle: "I'm afraid Zhong can't worry about the Lord anymore." ”

Xiang Ao's eyes were red, and he kept shaking his head and said, "No, no!" Zhicai holds on, this Wang's teacher Hua Tuo is on the way to come, Zhicai must not give up. ”

Xi Zhong shook his head lightly and said, "The lord doesn't have to be like this. Everyone has a death, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. It is enough to be loyal to serve the lord in this life. ”

"Don't give this king nonsense!" Xiang Ao roared, cautiously, and tightly hugged Xi Zhong, and said domineeringly: "This king is not allowed to die, if the king of Hades dares to stretch out his hand, this king will destroy him." ”

Xi Zhong nodded with satisfaction, did not resist, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and said: "Lord, Cao Cao wants to kill Zhong at any cost, just to anger the lord and let the lord fight a decisive battle in advance, and the lord must not fall for Cao Cao." ”

"There are many capable people under the command of the lord, after the departure of loyalty, it will not have much impact on the lord, and the lord must not mess up the previous deployment because of the departure of loyalty."

"It is not easy for the lord to fight for the world, and it is not easy to benefit the people, so don't let Zhong become a sinner for the people of the world after his death."

"Lord... Lord! If... If the world is unified, it will also... Please also, my lord... Send a book to Huangquan, let... Let Zhong... Take a look at that... That heyday. ”

"Zhicai, stop talking!" Xiang Ao's eyes left tears, and he softly stopped Xi Zhong and said, "I am a celestial, I will definitely be able to..."

"My lord." Xi Zhong's face suddenly turned ruddy, interrupted Xiang Ao and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, Zhong just goes first." As long as the lord can fulfill his grand wish and give peace to the people of the world, he can comfort his loyalty. ”

Xi Zhong broke free of Xiang Ao's support, stubbornly turned over, knelt on his knees, bowed deeply to Xiang Ao and said: "The minister will serve the lord in the next life, and the minister will go first!" ”

After that, Xi Zhong's hands slumped, and his body fell forward, lifeless.

"Zhicai!" Xiang Ao grabbed Xi Zhong's shoulder, not daring to exert himself, I don't know whether he didn't want to confirm whether Xi Zhong was out of breath, or didn't want to disturb Xi Zhong at this time.

Xiang Ao trembled his hands, carefully lay down Xi Zhong, the tears in the corners of his eyes never stopped, with tears sliding across his face and dripping onto Xi Zhong's face.

"Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan!" Xiang Ao roared in a deep voice: "This king is going to kill you!" ”

Xiang Ao's voice was not loud, but Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Guan Hai and others, who were standing beside Xiang Ao, were shocked by the murderous aura in Xiang Ao's tone.

The voice seemed to come from the bottom of the Nine Shadows, and Xiang Ao's face was calm, which made Dian Wei worried. How many years have I not seen the lord so murderous, Dian Wei can't remember.

Xiang Ao at this time made Dian Wei dare not persuade him, and he didn't even dare to come out.

"Order the three armies to attack Mount Tai!"

"No!" Dian Wei solemnly clenched his fists, without a trace of hesitation, turned around and left.

Ma Chao and Guan Hai and other generals naturally didn't dare to ask more, so they also hugged their fists and took orders, and hurriedly followed Dian Wei.

"General Dian, my lord, this is..."

Dian Wei looked at Ma Chao, who was full of worry, and said in a deep voice: "The lord has multiple feelings, and the two generals may not know it." Taiwei has followed the lord for many years, and the lord has already regarded Taiwei as his brother and brother. ”

"Now that Cao Cao has touched the lord's scales, and he has to die as a captain, the lord will not give up."

"But the lord made so many arrangements before, didn't he want to force Cao Cao to surrender? Launching a decisive battle at this time will not make all the previous efforts in vain? ”

Dian Wei smiled lightly, and said with reverence: "This is our lord!" Be sympathetic to the people, and value love and justice. ”

Dian Wei said, patted Ma Chao's shoulder heavily and continued: "General Meng Qi, in the future, you will know that it is the glory of our life to be able to serve the lord. ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded solemnly. Guan Hai tightened the weapon in his hand beside him, his face full of determination.

Cao Cao's plan succeeded, and he really forced Xiang Ao's army to rise. Not only did Xiang Ao personally lead a large army to attack Mount Tai, but Gao Shun, who was stationed on the other side of the Yellow River in Dongjun, also raised a large army and launched a fierce attack on Puyang.

Even Xiang Ping, the prince of Yanguo, personally went to the battlefield and led the elite of Yanguo to send troops to the official crossing.

"Lord, Cao Cao's army stopped when it retreated to Mount Tai, and it seemed that he was planning to fight a decisive battle with Wuyan Kingdom in Mount Tai."

The guards of the Feather Killing Battalion rushed into the tent and reported to Xiang Ao the movements of Cao Cao's army.

Xiang Ao looked at the generals in front of him and Tian Feng, who was dispatched by Xiang Ao overnight, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think?" ”

Xi Zhong's body was sent back to Yecheng by Xiang Ao. At this time, Xiang Ao seemed calm, but the soldiers of Yanguo all knew that their lord might break out at any time, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others were a little frightened, and they didn't dare to speak.

Although Tian Feng knew Xiang Ao's thoughts, his upright temperament made Tian Feng still open his mouth.

"The elite cavalry of the lord's army, Cao Cao chose the battlefield above Mount Tai, which is to avoid the advantage of the lord." Tian Feng frowned and continued: "Since this is the case, the lord can completely avoid Mount Tai for the time being, attack Xuzhou first, and then move to Yanzhou. ”

"If Cao Cao doesn't rush to Xuzhou's aid, then the lord can completely take Xuzhou. If Cao Cao galloped to the aid of Xuzhou, then Cao Cao's arrangement in Mount Tai would be in vain, and the lord's army would not have too many casualties now in Yanzhou. ”

The reason why Xiang Ao dispatched Tian Feng over was because Tian Feng was upright and dared to do and speak. Although Xiang Ao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, Xiang Ao also knew that as a coach, he must always remain reasonable.

In case he goes crazy, Tian Feng will also boldly advise. In this way, Xiang Ao can be regarded as adding an insurance to the decisive battle of his own army, so as not to fall into the way of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

Tian Feng said, and Ma Chao also stood up: "Lord, what Tian Taiwei said is extremely true, since Cao Cao wants to force the lord to fight a decisive battle, the lord can completely avoid his edge and attack the west." This is not only more secure, but also makes Cao Cao aggrieved. ”

Xiang Ao looked at Tian Feng, and then at Ma Chao and the others. Walked two steps back and forth before the map.

"Yizhou Liu Bei, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, the trapped beast is still fighting, no matter how many days it takes."

"Sun Ce's Jingzhou in Eastern Wu was also taken by Zhou Budo and Sima Yi, and if Jingzhou was lost, Sun Ce's threat from Eastern Wu would go to no less than fifty percent."

"After Yizhou and Jingzhou are taken, the unification of the world by Wuyan is just around the corner. Cao Cao is a hero in the world, so he naturally understands the truth. ”

"The reason why Cao Cao wants a decisive battle is just that he wants to fight back when Liu Bei is still alive and Eastern Wu still has some strength."

"If it is done, he will even kill this king on Mount Tai, and with Cao Cao's ability, he may soon be able to unify Hebei and attack Liu Bei and Sun Ce in the south. The one who rules the world will be replaced by Cao Cao. If it didn't work, Cao Cao wouldn't be enduring daily suffering, and it didn't matter if he died. ”

Xiang Ao said, raised his head and looked at Tian Feng and Ma Chao and the others again, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Since Cao Cao is so desperate, if this king completely defeats Cao Cao on Mount Tai, what do you think Cao Cao will do?" ”

It's so ruthless! Ma Chao twitched the corners of his mouth, looking a little frightened.

Like a tyrant like Cao Cao, death may not be terrible for them. But if your own decision-making and the ability to think that you are better than the other party, you are completely seen through by the other party and then defeated fiercely, so that you have no confidence to resist in the face of your own enemy, that is the most terrible.

If Cao Cao can be defeated on Mount Tai, even if Cao Cao escapes by luck, after the battle of Mount Tai, Cao Cao may no longer have the ambition of being a hero.

There is nothing wrong in theory, but Tian Feng is still a little worried in his heart, and he said: "Defeating Cao Cao on the frontal battlefield can naturally make Cao Cao collapse, but Cao Cao's current value is not as good as the lord's in case, in case the lord has a mistake on the battlefield, wouldn't it be cheaper Cao Cao?" ”

Tian Feng was also bold, and in front of his own monarch, he even spoke out about Xiang Ao's life and death.

Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others were frightened by Tian Feng's words, for fear that Xiang Ao would be angry.

However, Xiang Ao didn't care, and smiled lightly: "Yuan Hao thinks that in today's world, who else can hurt this king?" ”

"Looking at Kyushu, the lord deserves to be the first in the world. But on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the main public security is in danger of the people of the state, please think twice! ”

Tian Feng bowed deeply, looked like the minister disagreed, and took a firm position.

Xiang Ao was a little angry, but Tian Feng's concerns were also for Xiang Ao and the entire Yan Country, and Xiang Ao was not angry.

"It doesn't matter, with Dian Wei and Guan Hai, even if all the generals under Cao Cao are out, this king also believes that they can protect this king."

"My lord..."

Seeing that Tian Feng still wanted to persuade, Xiang Ao hurriedly interrupted Tian Feng and said: "Don't worry, Taiwei, as soon as the war starts, if Cao Cao really has the idea of fighting this king, this king will withdraw from the front of the formation, and it will be convenient to return to the back." ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly and said, "Since the lord has decided, the minister will accompany the lord to the front line." ”

"Nonsense!" Xiang Ao shouted angrily: "Cao Cao has countless fierce generals, Yuan Hao is on the front line, it is too dangerous, and this king does not agree." ”

"If the lord doesn't let Yuan Hao go with him, then please ask the lord and the ministers to command in the camp tent."

"Tian Yuanhao!" Xiang Ao roared angrily, eager to tie up Tian Feng.

Ma Chao watched from the sidelines, anxious for Tian Feng.

"My lord, it may not be a bad thing to let Mr. Yuan Hao go."

Ma Chao said, Xiang Ao stared at Ma Chao. Under Xiang Ao's gaze, Ma Chao felt Alexander.

"Cao Cao is treacherous, and Guo Jia and others have advice, if Mr. Yuan Hao goes to the front line, he can also propose a countermeasure to the lord when the fighter appears, right?" Ma Chao wiped the fine sweat on his head and gave a solemn admonition.

When Xiang Ao heard this, he put away his anger, thought about it, and said, "Then work hard Yuan Hao, and fight with Cao Cao with this king." ”

"Minister, take the order!"

After two days of rectification and deployment, Xiang Ao arranged the defense of the Qingzhou area, and then personally led the army and set off to Mount Tai.

Above Mount Tai, Cao Jun barracks.

"Lord, it seems that Xiang Ao is really here this time."

Guo Jia chuckled, and the worry in his eyes could not be erased. Cao Cao almost had the same expression, and said with a slight sigh: "Yes, Xiang Ao is really planning a decisive battle." ”

"Can the lord have the confidence to defeat Xiang Ao?"

"It depends on whether Feng Xiao has the confidence to let Xiang Ao into the trap."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "The lord trusts Jia so much, aren't you afraid that Jia will not be able to defeat Xiang Ao and ruin the lord's foundation?" ”

"This king's foundation is the new assistance of Fengxiao, if the will of heaven is like this, let Xiang Ao dominate the world, what complaints and regrets does this king have?"

Cao Cao said calmly, but the glint in his eyes made Guo Jia see Cao Cao's confidence and ambition.

"In this way, the minister will issue military orders for the lord?"

Cao Cao stood up, stretched his waist, and said easily, "Give the order." ”

Guo Jia gave up his hand and withdrew from the tent, leaving Cao Cao alone to look at Yutu in a daze.

The war was about to break out, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides finally started a war in the area of Mount Tai.

At Tian Feng's suggestion, Xiang Ao still appointed Ma Chao as the left army and Pang De as the deputy general, and sent troops to Xuzhou Langxiguo (now north of Linyi, Shandong to Zhucheng) to raid Cao Cao's rear.

Guan Hai led 20,000 elites, including deputy generals Gongsun Xu, Guan Jing and others, along the Yellow River, attacked the hinterland of Dongjun, and planned to attack Gaoshun in Puyang.

Xiang Ao personally led the main force, assisted by Tian Feng and Dian Wei, and directly attacked Mount Tai.

On Mount Tai, it is also the main force led by Cao Cao, about 100,000 troops. Xiang Ao's main force is naturally quite a few soldiers and horses, 100,000 elites.

Cao Cao seeks survival, and Xiang Ao seeks revenge. In the game between Tian Feng and Guo Jia, the entire Mount Tai was filled with gunsmoke. Fortunately, the battlefield is on Mount Tai and is sparsely populated, otherwise the people of Taishan County will be poisoned by the war.

After the war on Mount Tai began, Zhao Yun and Pang Tong, who attacked Yizhou, did not stop, and fought back and forth with Zhuge Liang between several cities in the Chengdu area, and did not give in to each other.

The battlefield in the south was also transferred from Jingzhou to Lujiang County and Yuzhang County in Yangzhou (present-day southwestern Anhui and Jiangxi).

Unlike Liu Bei, Yangzhou was in danger, and Sun Ce personally led most of the fierce generals under his command to the front line to defend against the enemy. However, under the power of Xiang Ao's army, Sun Ce and Cao Cao temporarily reached an armistice agreement, and the two countries were divided into nine rivers.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce were both at stake, and they each withdrew from Jiujiang and Guangling in Xuzhou, returning their original territories to each other.

"Cao Cao's horseman! When did you become so timid as a mouse, cowering in the mountains, afraid to come out? ”

Under Xiang Ao's instructions, the army of the Yan Kingdom was attacking Mount Tai while shouting in Mount Tai, wanting to provoke Cao Cao and let Cao Cao appear.

"I thought that Cao Cao, like this king, was the hero of the world, and I didn't want to be a eunuch after the eunuch, cowardly and treacherous."

Xiang Ao is not a scholar who cares about his face, no matter how ugly he listens and scolds, he just wants to force Cao Cao to appear.

Cao Cao was already criticized by the world as a eunuch, and his name was not right. Xiang Ao not only brought up the old story again, but also said it so ugly that no one could bear it.

"Lord, don't fall for Xiang Ao's trick!" Guo Jia stopped Cao Cao, who was full of anger, and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Ao just appeared to the lord, and then forced the lord to face the front. ”

"What about a head-on struggle?" Cao Cao roared in a deep voice: "This king is not afraid of him Xiang Ao. ”

"But if Xiang Ao proposes to fight with the lord, what will happen to the lord?"

"Fighter?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned darker.

Today's Xiang Ao is still recognized as the first person in the world. Although Xiang Ao has not appeared on the battlefield for many years, Xiang Ao's residual power is still feared by the generals of various countries.

Chen Guo, but Cao Cao personally led the army and fought one battle after another. can gallop on the battlefield, Cao Cao naturally has no less courage than others. But in front of Xiang Ao, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to duel with Xiang Ao.

"Humph! On the battlefield, I am cheating, and Xiang Ao proposes to fight the general, and the king wants to fight the general? ”

Cao Cao said stubbornly, but his fear of Xiang Ao's martial arts had already been revealed in his words.

Guo Jia chuckled helplessly, and then said solemnly: "Now that the main army's strength is similar to Xiang Ao's strength, any opinion will affect the morale of the soldiers on both sides." Regardless of whether you are or the enemy, if your morale is low, it will be a devastating blow on the battlefield of Mount Tai, and please think twice. ”

"What then?" Cao Cao angrily knocked over the few things in front of him, panting and roaring.

"A tooth for a tooth!" Guo Jia said with a fierce face: "Since Xiang Ao is not cheeky and brings up the old things, then the lord does not need to be benevolent and righteous, and he will turn over Xiang Ao's life and spread it on the battlefield." ”

Cheng Yu on the side stood up and bowed to Cao Cao: "If the lord believes it, leave this matter to the minister." ”

Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Cao Operation: "The minister is reconsidering!" When General Zhongde dealt with this time, he would inevitably be able to make Xiang Ao vomit blood in anger. ”

Guo Jia's meaning, Cao Cao naturally understood. Among the strategists under his command, Cheng Yu's strategy was the most vicious.

"Then at this time, it will be handed over to Zhongde to deal with, and this king will wait for the good news."

"Don't worry, lord!" Cheng Yu solemnly accepted the order, and then his face became gloomy, and he turned around and walked out of the tent.

Half a day later, in Xiang Ao's military camp, there were various rumors about Xiang Ao's life. What Xiang Ao is not a Han Chinese, he is from a humble background, and his name is not right.

What made Xiang Ao even more annoyed was that among the rumors, he actually said that he was the illegitimate child of which family, and who was the abandoned baby. What's even more outrageous is that there is still a saying that Xiang Ao is a demon.

Not to mention outrageous, he also gave various examples that made Xiang Ao believe in himself.

For example, Xiang Ao was born with demonic power, and Lu Bu in the past was not Xiang Ao's enemy; For example, Xiang Ao is demagoguery, whether it is the soldiers under his command or the people of Yanguo, they are all played by Xiang Ao. All this made Xiang Ao angry and laughing at the same time.

"Yuan Hao, the weird rumors have a lot of impact on the army."

Xiang Ao came to Tian Feng to discuss, helpless and angry.

Tian Feng smiled lightly and said: "The feather killing battalion under the command of the lord is almost unaffected, and the rest of the elites are not too big a problem under the command of the generals of the various departments. Don't worry. ”

"But this is too annoying, it must be the ghost of Old Man Cheng Yu."

Tian Feng smiled weirdly and said lightly: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the minister has a plan." ”
