Since then, the blood shadow knife light, only remembering the smile of the child.

In the dream, there was a river and lake full of swords and blood, and he went through many difficulties, and finally saw Cao Chong standing there with his arms outstretched: "Father, I'm Chong'er, father come here." ”

When he woke up from the dream, Cao Cao's headache had passed, and he became extraordinarily awake.

At this time, still on the way back to Xuchang, Cao Cao asked Sima Yi, a literary figure beside him: "How is Xuchang?" ”

Sima Yi said: "The young son is not very good, Xuchang is fine." Xun Lingjun told everything in the city to go as usual, and the people and horses of Xiliang delayed a hundred miles outside the city, and they must not be able to confirm the reality of the city. ”

"As long as the prime minister's army is triumphant, they will never dare to make a mistake."

After Cao Cao heard this, he closed his eyes again.

As early as when he was at war with Yuan Shao, Xuchang had been threatened, and it was Xun Yu's design that was stable and bought them time.

Three days later, Cao Cao returned to the city.

Although Chibi was defeated, for Xuchang, Cao Cao's return meant that they no longer had to be threatened by Xiliang.

Hundreds of officials greeted Cao Cao outside the city, and the momentum was huge.

Sure enough, this made the Xiliang army even more reluctant to act rashly, and it didn't take long for them to retreat.

However, the crisis in Xuchang was resolved, but another thing that worried Cao Cao made him feel painful.

When he rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the young son Cao Chong was no longer angry.

However, in just a few days, the condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and there was no room for anything.

Xun Yu and Hua Tuo, who were guarding the side, looked heavy, knowing how important Cao Chong was to Cao Cao, but they couldn't give him the slightest comfort.

"What kind of disease can't even be cured by a miracle doctor?" Cao Cao's voice was hoarse.

Xun Yu looked up and saw that the corners of his eyes were moist, tears were in his eyes, and tears were about to fall.

He has followed Cao Cao for so many years, and he has only seen him cry a few times, once to kill his old friend Chen Gong, once to pay tribute to his childhood friend Yuan Shao, once to Guo Jia, and once to the present.

"The young man's illness came too quickly, and he was already dying when he came down, and there were no signs on his body, and he was incompetent below." Hua Tuo was both sad and regretful.

Cao Cao stabilized his emotions, thinking that Hua Tuo was Lingxi's master, and his son had already suffered misfortune, and if he blamed the master again, Lingxi would be even more unhappy.

"You all go down, let me accompany Chong'er." He sighed and sat down on Cao Chong's couch.

Cao Chong's eyes were tightly closed, no longer had the vitality of the past, he touched Cao Chong's hand, and it was cold.

Before your son is born, you will do evil on him. The words that Lingxi said in the palace that day resurfaced.

"Chong'er, Chong'er!"

Not long after, the anxious voice of Lingxi came from outside.

She and Cao Pi were also fast, but they still fell behind Cao Cao's frame.

As soon as she entered the door, someone told her that the young boy was critically ill.

None of them knew that Cao Chong had left a moment ago.

The panic in Lingxi's heart is getting bigger and bigger, on this day, if she wants to prepare for ten years, she can't do it!

Lingxi walked into Cao Chong's house and saw Cao Cao sitting there, his eyes were sad, and he slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, Xi'er, I didn't protect our children." ”

Lingxi didn't expect that the child had already left, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Mrs. Huan, watch out for yourself, you are pregnant." Cao Pi, who came with her on the side, reminded that she just wanted to reach out to help, but suddenly took it back.

Lingxi had already been picked up by Cao Cao and hugged him.

It was night, and it was uncomfortably quiet in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lingxi hid in Cao Cao's arms and wept, that was her most beloved child, the only person in this world who was connected to her blood.

Cao Cao comforted Lingxi: "If I knew this, I would never leave him." Xi'er, we lost our beloved son, which makes people heartbroken, but fortunately, God treats me well, and you are pregnant again. ”

"Xi'er, be strong, you're still young, we can have many children."

He picked up Lingxi and put him on the bed, and said gently, "You have worked hard all the way, get a good night's sleep." Maybe I really did something wrong, but how can I use him to pay for my sins. ”

Lingxi's tearful eyes dimly saw that a few strands of white hair had grown on his Meng De temples.

He would never say that he was wrong, he was such a person who killed all directions, he would be so vulnerable, he had just experienced the heavy blow of Chibi, but he had to experience the pain of losing his son.

Lingxi gently hugged Cao Cao and said the first thing she said after returning home: "Meng De, this is not your fault. ”

The next day, Cao Cao summoned different people to inquire about Cao Chong's condition, leaving Cao Pi behind.

"How did you find Lingxi, I ordered you to stay in the city, why did you go to Jiangdong?"

Cao Pi hurriedly said: "I was worried about my father's safety that day, so I went to Jiangdong to protect my father, but I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Huan who escaped from Zhou Yu's camp......"

"Bastard! It's not ambiguous to lie, you're going to protect me alone? Cao Cao was furious: "Cao Zhi has already said, you gave him a few jars of wine, and asked him to take it to Chong'er?" ”

He approached Cao Pi step by step: "Tell me, what do you have to do with Cao Chong's death!" ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he hurriedly planned to leave, but was stopped by Cao Cao: "Wen Ruo sits, don't go." ”

Cao Pi fell to his knees and spoke incoherently nervously: "Father has wronged me!" I gave Cao Zhi wine, but I asked him to point out the article. ”

"You still don't admit it? I didn't send you to Jiangdong, but you told Cao Zhi that you were ordered to go, isn't this to find an opportunity for you to avoid suspicion? ”

Seeing that Cao Pi didn't dare to speak, Cao Cao slowed down his voice again: "Father has also done something wrong, every white hair on my father's head is a fault, if you admit your mistake, your father will forgive you." ”

Cao Pi hesitated, and finally spoke: "If my father really wants to ask, I have no choice but to say." That wine is what I drink on weekdays, and Cao Zhi also drank it, if he is fine, how can Brother Chong have an accident because of this. Unless, it was Cao Zhi who moved his hands and feet and wanted to frame ......"

"Presumptuous! So far, you have actually framed Cao Zhi! Cao Cao's anger came up, and he pulled out his sword and pointed directly at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi's voice was unstable, and he was already in tears: "If my father wants to kill me, kill me, but my father really wronged me." ”

"Prime Minister, since Hua Tuo can't find anything abnormal, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and what the second son said is not unreasonable." Xun Yu came up to relieve the siege.

Cao Cao threw away his sword and sent someone to drag Cao Pi down.

……

A few months later, Cao Ren of Nanjun was finally unable to resist the offensive of Sun-Liu's allied forces and returned defeated.

Jingzhou was supposed to be captured by Zhou Yu, but because of Zhuge Liang's strategy, he took advantage of the confrontation between Zhou Yu and Cao Ren and ordered Zhao Yun to occupy Jingzhou first.

Zhou Yu had already been hit by a poisonous arrow from Cao Ren during the battle, and he was so angry that he became seriously ill and had to retreat to Jiangdong.

Liu Bei was stationed in Jingzhou and led the Jingzhou pastor.

With Jingxiang Nine Counties, his next target is Sichuan and Shu in Zhuge Lianglong's Zhongce.

However, in more than a year, Jingzhou changed hands three times, and the ups and downs of the world, through Chibi, finally formed a three-point world.

Cao Cao's wish to dominate the world was afraid that it would not be possible to realize it in the past ten years, and now he returned to Xuchang, truce to recuperate, and ordered Yu Ban to lead the old and weak soldiers to reclaim the frontier to supply food and wages, and moved to Yecheng in order to better control the prefecture and county.

At this time, the Sun and Liu families were still unable to fight Cao Cao with one family, and the Sun-Liu alliance was still there, but they were not of one heart and one mind.

Zhou Yu hated Liu Bei for taking Jingzhou, and set up a plan, hoping to marry Liu Bei and use this to control Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard the news of the marriage, his heart fluctuated.
