The world is impermanent.

Every life in this world sometimes shines like a meteor falling through the dazzling light, and some bloom bright colors in the world, leaving people with indelible memories.

Gongsun stopped at the horse, and in his sight, the blood-stained sword fell to the ground, and the woman who was once called Cao Yu also fell from the horse, Cao Chun jumped off the horse and ran wildly and shouted. On the chariot, Cao Cao carried Yitian and walked down, stepping on it very heavily, his white beard stroking slightly in the wind, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the woman on the ground with an expressionless face.

In front of the Northland military formation, the white robe moved, Zhao Yun tightened his weapon, his squinted gaze stayed on the old man on the opposite side, Dian Wei had already taken a step, at this time Cao Chun pulled out the ring head knife and rushed forward, shouting: "General Zhao, Lao Dian!" Don't move! Turning around, the Chao clan brother was also shouting: "Let's go, big brother go back—" Several generals in front of the Cao army in the rear were also rushing towards this side.

The wind blew between the two armies, and the old man walking in the light glanced at the number of generals in front of him expressionlessly, ignored the anxious words, bent down, looked at his daughter who fell in a pool of blood, his mouth twitched slightly, and he reached out to hug her, "Qinghe, dad will take you home......"

In a slow and low voice, Cao Cao slowly turned around with his daughter in his arms and walked on the carriage not far away, in this process, Gongsun Zhi sat on the horseback indifferently, Huang Zhong jumped out of the horse and wanted to take an arrow, and Xiahou Yuan on the opposite side was also holding his bow and shouting: "Huang Hansheng!" You dare to try it! ”

"Let him go." Gongsun Zhi raised his hand, "Retreat ten miles back and set up camp!" ”

"The Governor (Lord)!" Yan Rou, Huang Zhong, Sun Ce and others shouted in unison, right now Cao Cao is in front of them, if they come out together, they can take it almost effortlessly, and this war can be said to be half of the battle without a single soldier, and when he heard Gongsun Zhi's order at this moment, he was naturally very unwilling.

Sun Ce still wanted to rush over with his gun, but next to him, a gentian slammed down on the barrel of his gun, Zhao Yun's cold eyes slid across the corners of his eyes, glanced at him, and said flatly: "General Sun, the lord said to let it go, didn't you hear it?" ”

"You-" Sun Ce clenched the barrel of his gun and glared at Zhao Yun fiercely, and in the afterglow, he saw the chariot that was gradually moving away, and sighed heavily: "Such a God-given opportunity has been wasted." ”

……

On Cao Ying's side, the chariot disappeared into the array, and soon the horn of retreat sounded, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and others put away their weapons and arched their hands towards the opposite Governor of the North: "Governor Xie Du does not take advantage of the danger of others, I thank my brother for me, and when my brother is calm, I will try my best to promote peace talks between the two parties with Brother Xiahou!" ”

Gongsun Zhi didn't speak, just nodded, rode back to the formation, looked at the orderly retreat of the 70,000 Cao army array, and said softly to the generals who followed left and right: "A woman admonishes each other with death, and the army's heart fluctuates somewhat...... If you take advantage of the danger of others, it will make you and me feel disdainful. ”

"Let's go back, in two days, regardless of whether he Cao Cao has recovered from the pain of losing his daughter, we will continue to advance south."

The three armies retreated, surrounded by roaring footsteps and horses' hooves, Gongsun stopped looking at the banner stretching, looking at the sky, in the air, the previous woman's voice seemed to be still echoing, that sentence did not make him feel moved, only occasionally recalled that in the Cao Mansion, the girl who quietly opened the door and stood there with a timid face, was somewhat sad.

The intersection between him and Cao Yu is actually not much, and he has seen it twice after careful calculation, a laughing and eccentric lady of the Cao family actually made a death admonition in front of the soldiers of the two armies, if he just let the generals kill him, whether he can kill Cao Cao or not, it has a huge impact on whether he can completely receive the entire Cao clan in the future, or the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.

"The world is impermanent......"

The sun slanted down, returned to the barracks where he was stationed, and sat in the big tent for a long time, the friendship between him and Cao Cao from the very beginning of his journey south was like a meteor streaked across the night sky, and then swallowed by the darkness. The original determination to go all the way south was placed in his forty-year-old age, constantly rumbling through the memories of the past, and he did not have the slightest wave, and even had a kind of relief that was completely disconnected.

Cao Yu's death, he and Cao Cao completely severed their former friendship.

He sat there I don't know how long it took, Li Ke came in and went out, the hustle and bustle of the military camp gradually sank, and when he walked out of the military tent, the sky outside had shown the color of blue and gloom, after a little breakfast, accompanied by Li Ke, the camp was patrolled around, because before he ordered two days not to use the sword soldiers, at this time the huge school field has several foot soldiers began to practice.

Soon after, there was a message from the scouts outside that Cao's army had retreated.

**********

Before the wee hours of the morning.

There were no stars and moons in the night sky, and in the dense night, the lights shone on the shadow of the old man and sat quietly in the tent, and no one dared to go in and disturb him. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of the cloth twisting and drying the water, wipe the dust off the cheeks and the back of the hands for the woman on the wooden couch, the old man's hands trembled slightly in the process, and the figure swayed gently and sat back, looking at the white neck in a daze, the stitched scars, and nothing could be seen on the calm face, "Daddy ...... still remember that you and Ziyu were barefoot, running all over the yard, knocking down a tooth, and the mouth was full of blood, and laughing vigorously, which made your mother's frightened face white....."

"...... Ziyu is also a sensible brother, obviously you knocked down the flower bed yourself, but you took him to himself and was beaten by your mother...... Dad knows that there were two of you by my father's side at that time...... What to do, I can't say how energetic I am. ”

The words were a little slow, the throat was sour, and he was a little choked: "...... watching your brothers and sisters grow up day by day, the son is upright and responsible, and my Qinghe has also become slim and beautiful!" Even now, it is difficult for others to match my daughter...... Later, I lost my son's body for my father..... I want to keep you by my side, and it is good to stay one more day and see a few more times, but ......"

Muddy water droplets rolled through the wrinkled corners of his eyes, slid to the tips of his white beards, and tears finally fell from his red eyes, Cao Cao just looked at his daughter who was lying quietly on the wooden couch, "...... Yet, the Father has lost you all. ”

Eyes closed in pain.

In the brightly lit barracks, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Xiahou brothers walked back and forth anxiously, looking at the eldest brother sitting inside, and did not dare to disturb. The one-eyed Xiahou stood in place, his fists clenched with a clattering sound, gritted his teeth and turned around and walked out, and then he was pulled by Xiahou Yuan, who was chasing him: "Brother, what do you want to do?!" ”

"Let go! If you don't capture Gongsun Zhi, it's really hard for my brother to swallow this breath, so take your hand away-"

"Brother, I'm afraid that before you rush in, you will be shattered!" Xiahou Yuan dragged him back, and Cao Chun and Cao Hong also came over to persuade him: "Although Qinghe is dead, but today you also see Gongsun Zhi's demeanor, and the war between the two sides has finally eased a little, do you want Qinghe to die in vain?" ”

"Qinghe is also my Xiahoudun's niece and future daughter-in-law! She died like this, how can I swallow this breath, you all spread your hands for me, if you don't kill him tonight, and capture him, what face will I have to come back and see my eldest brother again......"

The curtain of the tent was lifted suddenly, and the four people who were arguing and chaotic here saw their brother Cao Cao standing at the mouth of the tent, so they quieted down, and each withdrew his hand, just like when he was a child, he did something wrong and was punished by the eldest brother, and stood there in a row. On the other side, Cao Cao looked at them like this without saying a word.

In the darkness, he slowly turned around: "You bring Qinghe's body back to Xudu, so that you can bury it ......" However, after only taking two steps, his whole body swayed, and the four people behind him almost subconsciously rushed over, and the old man who leaned back fell on Cao Chun's body......

******

After the night, when the sky was shining in the morning light, Gongsun Zhi led the cavalry to the empty barracks, only the slightly armored straw man was still standing on the top of the watchtower, and then, a large number of cavalry pursued along the way, breaking the two broken armies, he learned a shocking news.

- Cao Cao fell ill and fell ill in grief.
