Chapter 19: Lack of Food (I)

In the past few days, rumors have been rampant in Cao Cao's army, and there are rumors that there is little grain and grass left in the army, and he is about to run out of food. Many soldiers have quietly wandered and ran to Yuan Shao's team on the opposite side, and many generals and strategists secretly wrote to Yuan Shao, with the intention of surrendering.

Cao Cao stood in front of the Chinese military tent, looking at the depressed morale and deeply worried, the soldiers had been in Guandu for more than half a year, and the problem of grain and grass had always made him anxious. This time, he really couldn't hold on anymore......

A soldier ran over and handed him a letter, "Lord, this is a letter from Xuchang." ”

The Lord inaugurates.

This is Xun Yu's word, and it must be his answer to whether he quits the army. Cao Cao immediately turned around and returned to the tent, opened it and studied it carefully.

Xun Yu said in the letter: Yuan Shao gathered the main force in Guandu, and wanted to fight the lord. The lord is weak against strong, if he can't win, he will be destroyed by it, which is the key to determining the general trend of the world. Back then, Chu and Han were between Xingyang and Chenggao, and no one in Liu Bang and Xiang Yu was willing to take a step back, thinking that if they retreated first, they would be succumbed. Now it has been half a year since the lord took one as ten, and he held on to the key and made Yuan Shao unable to advance. The situation is clear, there is no room for manoeuvre, and a major change will soon take place. This is the time to surprise and win, and don't miss it.

Cao Cao regarded it as a treasure, carefully stroked the pen and ink on the letter, and sighed faintly: "Wen Ruo, you are very right, even if my Cao Cao dies here, I can't retreat."

The sun is about to set, and the sky is full of clouds, reflecting the whole world red. He stood in front of the tent with his hands folded, and the light of the sun fell into his eyes, looking lonely and gloomy.

"In this battle, I only have two endings, one is to defeat Yuan Shao, and the other is to expose the corpse wilderness." His eyes were like candles, and he sighed.

He paced, and unconsciously walked to Qiao Guan's tent.

The maid outside the door saw him coming and was about to go in to report, but he stretched out his hand to stop her.

He walked straight inside.

Qiao Wan was sitting by the desk reading a book, and the whole person was shrouded in the glow coming in from the window, gentle and quiet. When she saw him coming, she was slightly surprised.

"Why didn't the prime minister come in without saying hello?" She quickly got up and saluted.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then walked over and took her tightly into his arms.

"Be my woman." He said seriously.

He really couldn't support it, and when he was dying and dying, he was full of thoughts about her.

Qiao Wan was frightened, and after reacting, she struggled desperately to resist, but Cao Cao hugged it very tightly, she was powerless to break free, so she had to shout coldly: "Prime Minister, please respect yourself!"

Her worst fears had happened.

"Qiao Guan, I really like you." He buried his head in her neck, greedily inhaled her body fragrance, and sighed slightly.

"But I don't like you." Qiao Wan said coldly, and said extremely resolutely.

Cao Cao felt a sense of depression and irritability in his heart, after so long, he thought that she had let go of the past and accepted him again, but why, even a stubborn stone could be moved, but she was still so ruthless.

"Are you still thinking about that Zhou Yu? Have you forgotten how he did to you? Cao Cao let go of her and sneered.

"I didn't." Qiao Wan lowered his eyebrows.

Cao Cao smiled sarcastically and grabbed her arm, her cloud sleeves fading under her wrist, revealing the red jade bracelet. The blood-like red was unusually conspicuous on her white wrists.

Cao Cao stared at her with forced eyes, "Then why are you still wearing it?!" ”

He listened to Huanshu's report, and she could stay in front of this bracelet all day; She has always admired simplicity and elegance, and she doesn't like colors, but she wears such a gorgeous blood jade bracelet all day long; She is not luxurious, she does not like to wear jewelry, but she regards this bracelet as a treasure and never leaves it.

He knew that this was a token of their love.

Qiao Wan was poked in the sore spot by him, and broke away from his hand in annoyance, "What does it have to do with you?!" Even if I don't like Zhou Yu, I won't like you! ”

Cao Cao had never felt so defeated and powerless, he smiled helplessly, "I'm dignified Cao Cao, can't I even get into your eyes?" ”

Qiao Wan realized her gaffe and tried to calm herself down, and after a while, she said calmly: "The prime minister is a genius of the world, but Qiao Wan has a problem with himself, and he will no longer like others, nor will he marry again."

When Cao Cao heard this, a nameless fire rushed up from under his ribs, "Is there something wrong with you?" Do you know that all my hard work for you these days has been in vain! ”

Qiao Wan looked into his eyes and said reverently: "Cheng is good to Qiao Guan, Qiao Guan will be remembered forever."

"No need." He took two steps closer and said tentatively, "Pay it back with your body."

Qiao Wan knew that there would be such a day, she quickly pulled out the dagger that had been prepared, put it across her neck, looked at him coldly and said, "If you go any further, I will die in front of you immediately."

Cao Cao was stunned, his heart chilling.

I cherish you like a treasure, and you are ruthless in your abuse of yourself; I put it into my heart, and you are not moved if you don't enter it; I am about to fight a decisive battle, life and death are uncertain, but you will not even give me a trace of warmth.

It turns out that she is not a beautiful jade, but an unmalleable stubborn stone.

After a moment of stalemate between the two, he smiled casually, "What are you doing?" If you don't want to, how can I force you? ”

With that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and turned to leave.

Qiao Wan stood there in a daze, watching his lonely figure fade away until he disappeared behind the curtain.

"I'm sorry." She threw down her dagger and sat down on the ground weakly, and for a moment she was like a fish in her throat, and she was stunned.

How could she still have hope, but she couldn't help herself.

Give me a moment.

Cao Cao angrily returned to the camp and said to the guards, "Call Mrs. Min and Mrs. Jiang to me."

The two ladies arrived soon, one of them was smart and smart, the other was quiet and lovely, the other was good at the piano, the other was good at dancing, and they knew how to relieve people's worries and thirst the most.

But when he was finished, he was infinitely empty and melancholy.

He's been looking, but he's never been able to find the person he's looking for. The moment he saw her, he knew it was her. She was the one and only he had always wanted. He even felt that he couldn't give birth to delusions about that woman, as long as she was willing to be by his side, he felt that this life was enough, and he didn't pursue it again. He didn't blame her for being ruthless, he only blamed himself for not finding her earlier and letting her meet someone else first.

He tried his best to be good to her, and he knew to give her time, but when he decided to gamble his life today, how much he longed to get her, even if it was to quench his thirst, he would die without regrets, but the moment he saw her put the knife across his neck, he flinched. He admitted that he was scared, afraid that she had done something stupid.

In fact, I just want to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated. I can also spoil you alone in this life, and never read the world again.
