The fishing boat is getting farther and farther offshore, Cao Cao only breathed a sigh of relief, the pursuers have no boats, as long as they cross the Huai River, not far to the east is the water village, they can get out of danger.

The sky was dark, listening to the sound of the waves around him, Cao Cao leaned on the side of the ship, exhausted, and wanted to take advantage of Liu Qi's discord with the Jiangdong generals to take Huainan in one fell swoop, but now it seems that it must be a bitter plan.

Cao Cao was upset, like the water of the Huai River, surging endlessly, a few drops of water splashed on his face, and he suddenly shook his whole body and shouted: "Not good! ”

This time, Cao Xiu also received a letter from Zhou Tai, and Zhou Tai was recommended by Huang Gai, but I am afraid that the water village will not be protected at this time.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, his body stiffened against the boat, and his heart sank to the bottom.

If Liu Qi enters Xuzhou in the north and joins forces with Guan Yu, the entire Central Plains will also be lost.

"Hehe, you found out?" Stunned, the fisherman turned his head and sneered.

Cao Cao was stunned: "Why do you say this?" ”

The fisherman threw the oars, slowly stood up, glanced at Cao Cao, shook his head and sighed: "People say that Cao Mengde is suspicious by nature, and it is indeed true, and I don't know where the flaws are exposed. ”

"You...... Who are you? Cao Cao was shocked and wanted to get up, but the boat was tossed in the wind and waves, and he couldn't stand up at all, and suddenly felt cold under his feet, and looked down, and the bottom of the boat was filled with a layer of water at some point, and he exclaimed: "The boat is sinking!" ”

"Hahaha, I just said that this ship is notoriously fast!" The man crossed his arms and laughed, and said slowly, "Sink faster—"

Cao Cao said sharply: "Who are you?" ”

The fisherman laughed and said, "Cao thief, listen well, a certain Jiangdong Ma Zhong is also!" ”

"Huh? Go back, paddle back! Cao Cao was shocked, turned around and shouted, "Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong-"

In the hands of these small soldiers, in order to make meritorious contributions, they will definitely do whatever it takes, it is better to temporarily surrender to Zhao Yun, or have a chance to live.

"It's useless to scream, it's useless for you to scream and cut your throat!" Ma Zhong sneered: "The scourge has been left for thousands of years, and General Liu is worried that your old thief will have a long life and be rescued on land, so he will not hesitate to trick you into getting on the ship." ”

"It turned out to be Liu Qi's plan again!" Cao Cao fell into despair, knelt in the boat and looked around, under the dim moonlight, at a glance, it was actually the waves rolling, there was nowhere to go, the water was already knee-high.

If it was on land, he could still try to think of a way to get out, but now he is trapped in the Huai River, with no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and he is completely panicked.

Cao Cao grabbed the side of the boat and said hurriedly: "If you cross the river with me, I will make you the founding general, reward thousands of gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households, how about it?" ”

"Hahaha, do you say that my Ma Zhong is a greedy person for wealth?" Ma Zhong shouted: "If I let you go, how can those dead Shouchun soldiers and people let me go? ”

Cao Cao was anxious and angry, and sorrow came from it, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh fiercely: "I think that I, Cao Mengde, the hero I, died at the hands of a despicable villain." ”

Ma Zhong sneered: "Old thief, you dare to call yourself a hero? ”

Cao Cao laughed angrily, slapped the water with his hand, and roared: "Cao is not afraid of swords and guns for the country, and he works tirelessly. If there is no Cao Cao, I don't know how many people are kings and how many people are emperors? ”

Ma Zhong sneered: "Cao thief, Hugh is talking big!" Since you have the community in mind, why do you want to slaughter Xuzhou and destroy Yecheng? He also used human flesh as military food, mutilated the people of Nanyang, and flooded the soldiers and civilians of Shouchun for a temporary gain or loss? Such a thing that has lost its conscience, although it is not so much, Dong Zhuo, it is nothing more than that, and he still calls himself a hero, I have never seen such a brazen person! ”

"It's cold to be in a high position, how can you wait for the puppet to know?" Cao Cao shook his head in despair, he also had a lot of helplessness, but it was not enough to talk to Ma Zhong and others, at this time, half of his body was immersed in the water, he smiled miserably, and sighed: "Han Zuo is declining, both Shengcao, He Shengqi-"

"Hehe, it's rare that you are still thinking about General Liu at this time!" Ma Zhong smiled and said to Cao Cao: "By the way, General Liu asked me to bring you a message, you just have to rest assured, your wife and children, he will be good to raise......"

"Bold!" Cao Cao had already hugged the side of the boat and closed his eyes and waited for death, but when he heard this, he was dumbfounded, and he struggled in the water: "Liu Qi, I am inseparable from you!" ”

"Old thief, stop struggling!" Ma Zhong slowly raised his arm and aimed at Cao Cao: "General Liu is benevolent and faithful, and the future of his family, don't worry about it!" ”

Cao Cao struggled, the boat sank faster, his whole body had sunk into the water, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Liu Qi, I'm a ghost...... Gollum ......"

A wave came, poured a mouthful of water, choked and couldn't speak, and at the same time, Ma Zhong also sent out a sleeve arrow, which hit Cao Cao's neck and was swept into the torrent.

Whoa—

Another person jumped out of the water like a fish, holding an iron chisel in his hand, it was Pan Zhang, shaking the water droplets on his head and asking, "Why don't you take the head of the old thief?" ”

Ma Zhong sighed: "Although Cao Cao is not a hero, he is also a hero, a very human minister, and a decent person, so leave him a whole corpse!" ”

Pan Zhang turned his head and got into the water again, and soon found Cao Cao's body, cut off his head and retrieved it, and said to Ma Zhongyan: "General Liu said that this old thief is also half a man of destiny, how many times he has come back to life, and I don't worry about not taking other people's heads." ”

Ma Zhong was stunned and said: "The old thief doesn't know how to water, and he was hit by a poisoned arrow, which is cruel." ”

"What a woman's kindness!" Pan Zhang scolded angrily: "If it weren't for General Liu's clever tactics in this battle, if Jiangdong was broken by Cao thieves, would you and I be able to protect our heads?" ”

Ma Zhong looked at the wet human head, remembered that Cao Cao was cruel by nature, and no longer argued with him, the two swam back to the south bank, and handed the head to Zhao Yun, who had been waiting for a long time.

Under the firelight, Zhao Yun saw that Cao Cao's beard was mutilated, his face was hideous, his eyes were round, and he didn't bat at death, and for some reason he remembered the scene when Liu Bei died, and he couldn't be happy at all.

Everyone rushed back to Shouchun overnight to hand over the order, Ling Tong had escorted the captured Xu Yi back to the city, only Cao Chun escaped with a tiger and leopard cavalry, and the Cao soldiers and horses were wiped out in this battle.

Liu Qi saw Cao Cao's head, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, this careful planning was finally not in vain, since then the three heroes of the Three Kingdoms, two dead and one prisoner, the trouble in his heart is gone, only Cao Pi is no longer worried.

The next day, the good news came from Xuzhou, Zhang Feibing went to Pengcheng, the defenders were shocked, thinking that Huainan was lost, and there were Mi Zhu's generals secretly agitating people's hearts, abandoning the city and leaving, and the soldiers occupied the city without blood.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Su said: "Now that Cao Cao is killed, Cao Pi will definitely raise troops to take revenge, and the general must prepare early." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "If Cao Pi can't bear it, the danger of crossing the river, and confronting it with the soldiers of Hebei, it will take a lot of trouble, if he is eager to take revenge, it is exactly what I want." ”

Ma Liang offered advice: "Zhou Gongjin no longer needs to go south, if Cao Pixing mobilizes the people, he can order Zhou Lang to attack the plains, take the Bohai Sea, and attack it." ”

"That's a great plan!" Liu Qi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Zhou Yu, telling him to go back to Beihai first to see the opportunity.
