readx;

Who said that men don't shed tears, but when they are sad. How about the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the hero, and what about the annihilation? Cheng Yu's death was a very serious blow to Cao Ying, he was like a walking corpse who had lost his soul, wearing filial piety clothes, sitting in the built mourning hall, looking at Cheng Yu's coffin in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, but Sima Ji was a little anxious!

Outside the city, the Qin army was in full array. Although the siege equipment was no longer able to inflict damage on Runan, the Qin army did not give up on long-range strikes. Under the attack of catapults and various crossbow arrows, the casualty number of Cao's soldiers increased all the time. If Cao Ying continues to be muddy, there is no need for Liu Zhang to send troops, and the Cao army will collapse!

"Xu Zhongkang, get out of here!" ―After three days in a row, Sima Gill couldn't help it, he didn't want to perish with Cao Ying. Rushed to Cheng Yu's mourning hall with Wei Yan and Wen Ping, he wanted to invite Cao Ying to come out as a director, but was blocked by Xu Zhu!

"No one can enter without the king's order!" Xu Zhu is brainless, Sima Shan is so good at talking, he refuses to get out of the way, which makes Sima Sui angry!

"Third brother, the situation is critical now, we must ask the king to come out as a director, otherwise our army will be defeated!" Seeing that Sima Yi had been busy for a long time and couldn't get any effect, Wei Yan knew that it was time to speak by himself, so he hurriedly stood up and persuaded him!

"Second brother, you and I are brothers, but the king is you and my lord, so I naturally want to listen to the king! The king won't let anyone in, including you, so please forgive me for being rude! Xu Chu blocked the door with a straight face, and didn't even give Wei Yan face!

Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile on his face: "Military Master, I can't help it!" Even if we break in, we won't be able to break in, the third brother's martial arts are higher than mine! ”

"Xu Zhongkang, do you know that you are helping Liu Zhang when you block here?" Sima Jian gritted his teeth and pointed at Xu germanium and scolded, but Xu Zhu didn't seem to see it!

"The king's order is to cut, please Haihan!" Xu Chu stood solemnly with his sword, and did not see Sima Yue's anger at all.

"Alright, Zhongkang, let them in!" Just as Sima Yi was about to break in, Cao Ying's voice came out, and Xu Zhu immediately got out of the way!

"Humph!" Sima Yue snorted coldly and entered the mourning hall with Wei Yan and Wen Ping. I saw that Cao Ying was still sitting next to the coffin, but his face seemed to be twenty years old! The three of them immediately bowed and saluted, "See the king!" ”

"That's it!" Cao Ying didn't raise his head, and then opened. He asked, "What is the important thing for you to see the lonely?" ”

"King, although Lord Cheng is gone, you can't be so decadent, otherwise how can you be worthy of Lord Cheng?" Sima Ji didn't talk about business, and he opened his mouth to accuse Cao Ying, but everyone was scared!

"Hehe......" was reprimanded, Cao Ying actually laughed, and everyone was even more surprised. If it weren't for his normal behavior, outsiders would think that he was too stimulated and suffered from madness!

"King, are you alright?" Seeing that Cao Ying was a little abnormal, Sima Gill was quite worried. If Cao Ying has a problem at this time, Liu Zhang will win without a fight, and he will not have the nose to control the proud soldiers of the Cao army!

"It's okay to be alone!" Cao Bang stood up and said, "You're right, if Lone continues to be decadent, I'll be sorry for Zhongde!" Chung Da, what's the matter with you? ”

"King Qiti, although the equipment of the Qin army cannot attack Runan City, our army has been attacked in Dazhai outside the city, and many soldiers have been injured. In addition, the king has already said that he has not managed the government, and if this continues, our army will collapse without a fight! Seeing that Cao Ying had recovered, Sima Yi hurriedly presented the information.

"That's -- that's a problem!" Cao Ying smiled and asked, "Zhongda, now, you are already the first strategist of our army, do you have any good opinions?" ”

Sima Yue thought for a while and said: "King, the Qin army's siege equipment covers a wide range and has a high degree of accuracy, if you can't let these weapons fail, Runan won't be able to hold it sooner or later!" My opinion is that directly lead the troops to destroy these devices! ”

"Impossible!" Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "Last time, Feng Xian also wanted to destroy the Qin army's equipment, but he was ambushed by the Qin army and almost died of defeat. With Liu Zhang's wisdom, how could he not guard against a surprise attack by our army? ”

Sima Yue smiled and said, "King, let me tell you the truth, the last time General Lu sneak attacked, it was actually a stupid thing!" Our army is victorious because there are many soldiers, so why should we use cavalry when we go to war? With soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, our army can gather superior forces and push towards the Qin army. Even if there are traps, they can be filled with human lives! ”

"Hiss......" Cao Ying gasped, and suddenly laughed and said: "No wonder Zhong De would rather die to respect you, you are indeed the pillar of the country." Zhongda, the future of our army depends on you! ”

"The king has a good reputation! If there is no king, who can appreciate my talent? Sima She smiled all over his face, but secretly said in his heart: "Damn Cheng Yu, you have to calculate me when you die!" If I don't betray Cao's son, it's no problem to betray! Well, find an opportunity to insert Ziyuan and Zishang into the army! ”

patting Sima Skull's shoulder, Cao Ying smiled and said, "Zhongda, you are humble!" Prepare the horse, go out of the city with the lonely - go! ”

"What Sima Yi asked in surprise!" It's so big that there are Qin troops outside the city, and you are going out of the city at this time to do the northern spider Cao Ying was a little disappointed and said: "Ye Luo returns to the roots, you can't let Zhongde be buried in Runan, you have to send him home!" ”

This Sichuan Sima Yu asked puzzledly: "Master Cheng is a native of Dong'e, Dong'e County, Yanzhou, and now Dong'e is Liu Zhang's territory, how do you send him home?" ”

"Ask Liu Zhang for help!" Cao Ying smiled: "This little thing, Liu Zhang shouldn't refuse!" ”

Sima Yi asked, "King, now that Liu Zhang is hostile to you, how can he be willing to help you?" ”

"You don't understand!" Cao Ying said confidently: "Although Lone and Liu Zhang are hostile, we are still like-minded friends. It's just that the road we are taking is different, and we need to divide it into different categories. When the world is unified, whether it is Lone Sheng who captures Liu Zhang, or Liu Zhangsheng who captures Lone, he will not be killed. Because we all want to prove to each other that our ambitions are right! ”

This Sichuan Sima Gill shook his head, not to mention that he couldn't understand it, even Wei Yan couldn't understand it. If you explain Cao Ying's mentality in one sentence, that is, heroes cherish heroes! However, after listening to Cao Ying's words, although Wei Yan had been prepared, his face still showed unhappiness. He wanted to kill Liu Zhang to take revenge, how could he understand Cao Ying's ambition?

"Hurry up and get ready for the horses!" Seeing that Sima was a little distracted, Cao Ying smiled and shook his head, a strategist is a person who gives advice to the monarch, and he doesn't need to make decisions for the monarch, and he doesn't need Sima Ji to understand his thoughts!

With Sima Yi, followed by Wei Yan and Wen Ping, and called Lu Bu again, Cao Ying came to the outside of Runan City. As soon as Qin Jun's equipment stopped, Sima Gill hurriedly asked Wen Ping to come forward to contact him. Hearing that Cao Ying asked to see him, Liu Zhang took Dian Wei-Zhao Yun-Guan Yu to the front of the battle!

"Brother Meng De, you're not here to surrender!" Before standing in front of the formation, Liu Zhang's face was full of smiles, although he knew that it was impossible for Cao Ying to surrender, he still wanted to try.

Cao Ying shook his head and said, "Brother Ji Yu, do you think I will surrender easily?" I have a request for something, I wonder if you can say yes? ”

"Oh? The famous Cao Mengde will also have something to ask me? Tell me about it, maybe I'll say yes! Liu Zhang rubbed his chin, his face was full of pride, he felt a sense of accomplishment when he could make another hero bow his head!

"It's not a big watermark, I just want you to help me send a person back to my hometown!" Cao Ying's mood was a little low, Cheng Yu and him were also servants and friends, even if he died, he was reluctant!

Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Brother Meng De, are you kidding me?" If you say that the man's hometown is the Chang'an Palace, do I have to take him home? It's okay to give it away, unless it's a dead person! ”

It's a dead man! Cao Ying sighed, his face full of loneliness.

Seeing Cao Ying so sad, Liu Zhang knew that the person he was going to send must be a very important person in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Who is the person you want to send?" ”

"Cheng Yu Cheng Zhongde!" Cao Ying looked up to the sky and sighed: "Zhongde has followed me since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and it has been more than 20 years now. Some time ago, he became ill from overwork and unfortunately died. The ancients said: The leaves fall back to the roots, and the soil is safe. Shall I allow him to be buried in a foreign land? But Yanzhou has been captured by you, and I really can't send Zhongde back, so I can only ask you for help! ”

"I've helped!" Liu Zhang nodded. Although they are hostile, he can also understand Cao Ying's helplessness, if it is not for Di as a last resort, Cao Ying will never beg him!

"Thank you!" Cao Ying bowed his hand on the horse and bent down deeply, he had never made such a big gift to Liu Zhang.

"Meng De, you send Cheng Yu out, and I will choose a good place for him to be buried. I hope that one day, you will be able to go and see it! Sighing, Liu Zhang was also quite salty. Cao Mengde, who is a hero, is willing to bend his waist to the enemy for the sake of his subordinates, who can say that he is ruthless and unjust? At the very least, he knows what affection is better than Sun Quan!

"I'm going to order someone to send Zhongde, and when the burial is finished, I hope you can tell me. I couldn't attend his funeral, and I was ashamed! Cao Ying shook his head, the look of loneliness on his face was even better, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything!

The ancients paid attention to etiquette when they were buried, but Liu Zhang and Cao Ying were enemies, and Cao Ying could not make a request to Liu Zhang. However, since he had decided to help Cao Ying, Liu Zhang would definitely not let him leave regrets, so he asked with a smile: "Meng De, what etiquette do you want Zhongde to be buried?" ”

"This ......" Cao Ying was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to even consider this kind of thing for him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ji Yu, you help me so much, how can I be embarrassed?" ”

"Help people to the end!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Cheng Yu is your most trusted advisor, so I will bury him with the ceremony of a county marquis." Posthumously presented him as a general of the chariot cavalry, talk about waiting! ”

"Thank you......" Cao Ying didn't know what to say, Liu Zhang had done his best to do so, he bowed again and said: "I'll go back and send Zhongde out, - I'll trouble Brother Ji Yu......"
