Zhang Miao, Wei Zi and Chen Liu, the heads of the family who funded the army, were sent to the execution table together.

Liu Wei gave Cao Cao a face, telling him to take refuge for the time being, not to witness the death of the two friends.

But Cao Cao insisted on personally supervising the beheading and sending his friends on their last journey.

Liu Wei had no reason to refuse such a request, so he agreed.

On the day of the execution, the sky was clear.

Even if he had just experienced a war, the mood of the people was still warm.

They gathered on the street with their friends, stood on tiptoe, and tried to watch the excitement.

The sound of whispering, like a gathering of countless bees, circled almost the entire street.

"I heard that it's Fujun Zhang Miao who is going to be killed today?"

"I've heard that it is, and it seems that I'm going to behead Nawei Jiaweizi."

"You don't know everything, so I'll tell you. Today, there are many people to be beheaded. ”

"I have a good friend who works on an errand in the government, and he told me all these things."

"The heads of the three major clans, the Wei clan, the Wei clan, the Ruan clan, and the Cai clan in Yu (Yu) County, will all be beheaded."

"There are more than ten other clans, large and small, all of which have been implicated."

"In short, if this knife goes down, Chen Liu will probably be leaderless."

"I heard that His Majesty came to Chen Liu in person, and the prince of the mansion led people to kill His Majesty, so it led to such a catastrophe?"

"Not really! That kid from my family also ran to join the Fujun's tribe, and the result was ...... Ay. ”

……

"Look, look, it's coming!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and everyone stood on tiptoe, craned their necks, and looked out toward the street in the distance.

"Where are those soldiers? It's so exciting to look at! ”

"That's the Luoyang Guard, the Fifth School of the Northern Army knows, right? These soldiers must be the fifth colonel of the Northern Army. ”

"I know that person first, I know, Zhonglang will Cao Cao."

"Do you still know Cao Cao?"

"A certain Peiguo person, do you know that Cao Cao is very strange?"

……

Cao Cao's face was not sad or happy, but only slightly embarrassed.

He slowly opened the two jars of wine and placed them in front of Zhang Miao and Wei Zi respectively.

"Before leaving, there is nothing good to see you off, so let's drink." Cao Cao sat cross-legged in front of the two of them, and as he spoke, he opened another jar of wine and put it in front of him.

"It's best to drink, we ate so much yesterday that we can't be starving." Zhang Miao laughed.

Seeing his dead end, Zhang Miao seemed to see through it, and the whole person seemed to be extremely relaxed.

Cao Cao smiled a little stiffly, and suddenly became a little distracted.

The youthful frivolity and bohemianism of the past appeared in front of him in an instant.

At that time, although the world was dark, it was not as chaotic as it is now.

"I just remembered those days when we used to be." Cao Cao came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled.

"The years cannot be traced, only remembered. The monarch will be above 10,000 people in the future, and the foolish brother has a word, Your Majesty ......," Zhang Miao said.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao, "You should know very well that Your Majesty is not such a cruel king, right?" You can not believe the words of others, but I think you should still believe my words. ”

Zhang Miao shook his head and smiled, "I'm going to die, it's right to earn a little bit of so-called integrity, right?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, but your integrity almost made your three clans lose everything!" Cao Cao said angrily.

Zhang Miao was stunned, "I almost forgot, I still have three clans." ”

Cao Cao: ......

"Come, drink!" Cao Cao directly picked up the wine jar.

It seems that there is no need to say anything or persuade anything now.

Or drink bars.

When you are drunk, you will not be so painful when you die.

"You, Cao Apu, should have become a ranger." After gobbling up a few sips of wine, Zhang Miao suddenly said.

He did not say that word of counsel again.

Cao Cao didn't ask.

The two of them tacitly ignored the past.

"It's a pity that I'm a Weng Nafei Tinghou, even if I want to be a ranger, I can't seem to do it." Cao Cao laughed.

Zhang Miao scolded disdainfully, "If it weren't for the blessing of the imperial court, you would be the number one traitor in the world." ”

"Why do you always slander me? I, Cao Mengde, am full of loyalty! Cao Cao said proudly.

Weizi next to him suddenly interjected, "I just regret knowing the two of you now, and I am not a lady when I meet someone!" ”

"One orders me to die, the other wants to watch me die, since ancient times, friends like you should be rare."

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "What he said seems to make sense." ”

"He was telling the truth." Cao Cao bowed.

Wei Zi glanced sideways at the two of them, and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, before I die, I have a wish, I hope you can fulfill it. ”

"I haven't heard of a handsome beauty anywhere in this city!" Cao Cao said with certainty.

Wei Zi glared at Cao Cao, "I'm not you, and I don't need to find a beauty before I die, and delay others." ”

"I just want to know, how did you fight that battle? Why did I try my best, but I couldn't catch up with me alive or dead. ”

These words also made Zhang Miao's face solemn, "Let's talk about it, I also want to know, how did you make the two of us fall to this point!" After this battle, the name of Cao Mengde will spread to the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River. ”

Cao Cao looked at these two friends and exhaled lightly, "Even if you don't have me, you can't win, you don't know the soldiers and horses of the current court at all." ”

"This battle, in fact, is very simple. Because you're not chasing all the way from beginning to end, but five ways! ”

"Five-way?!" Weiz's face was full of shock and bewilderment, "How could it be Wulu?" I've been chasing behind, and I've always been that way. ”

"What you see, I deliberately let you see. Where you can't see it, it's already changed. Cao Cao said, "This is a story that His Majesty told us, called the Tortoise and Hare Race. ”

"On our carefully planned route, a hare that thought he could bite a tortoise to death was a race against five tortoises."

Weizi looked up to the sky and smiled, "I see, I didn't lose at all." ”

"It's really not wronged!" Zhang Miao shook his head and said, "Completely dragged down our 20,000 troops with the five-way cavalry, and then raided after copying, attacking and killing the foot soldiers who couldn't keep up with the forward, and then waiting for work under the city, and then yin a cavalry led by Weizi, right?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "There is nothing wrong with it, that's exactly the case." ”

"Okay, I have no regrets when I die, and I learned another trick before I died, but it's a pity that it's a little late." Weitz shook his head and laughed.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, in case you can take it to the next life!" Zhang Miao also joked about Wei Zi.

"It's very likely, this trick is really easy to use, and you won't lose anything if you learn it." Cao Cao lifted the wine jar, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

But only a few drops fell.

The already far-fetched smile on his face gradually faded.

Loneliness and sadness were like clouds floating from the sky, hanging over his cheeks.

He put down the jar with some uneasiness, wanting to laugh, but he couldn't laugh alive.

Zhang Miao shook his wine jar, "The wine is exhausted, we should also go." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and stood up without saying a word.

A little drunkenness made his steps a little unsteady, and he staggered off the execution table slightly.

"Let's go, let's go."
