Fifteen to forty-five.

Three whole generations, gone, all gone!

What's even more shocking is not only these, women, the whole Qian Pei... Even women under the age of fifty are rare.

The county magistrate of Qianxian opened his mouth tremblingly: "This place is the hometown of the prime minister and the generals, whether it is conscription or widowhood, if you don't support the prime minister's decree here, then... The whole Great Wei? Where else will it be supported, so... So..."

Cao Cao angrily dropped off the household registration, he suddenly got up, and looked indignant: "The conscription order hollowed out the men in the lonely hometown, and the widow order hollowed out the women in the lonely hometown, the men are gone, the women are gone, and the whole Qian Pei... Unexpectedly... You're the only ones left, so... Alone in the world? Result... What is it for, exactly? ”

Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were both by Cao Cao's side.

Jia Xu was silent, he was born in Guanzhong... That was the case ten or twenty years ago.

It's just that I didn't think... Cao Cao established the Great Wei Dynasty, fought in the south and the north, and in the end, he also beat the Central Plains into Guanzhong, and fought into the ten rooms and nine emptiness.

Cheng Yu gave up his hand to comfort Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, freezing three feet is not a day's cold... In recent years, there have indeed been more expeditions in Dawei, especially in the second half of last year, Dawei was conscripted and widowed, and Qian Pei was like this... What about other cities and counties? ”

Call...

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao let out a long breath, and he couldn't help but mutter: "In the past half a year, there have indeed been too many deaths!" ”

Yes, Bai Na Guan Lin's blockbuster, several battlefields... Cao Wei has killed more people than in the years combined.

At this time, a tiger army came in to report, "Prime Minister Qiqi, the Son of Heaven sent an envoy to ask for a meeting with Xiahoudun!" ”

Cao Cao didn't expect that at this time, the Son of Heaven would send a messenger, and he didn't expect that Xiahoudun would rush here after being shot blind.

He exhaled in his heart, and couldn't help sneering, "One before and one later, it's really going to pick the time!" ”

Sergeant Tiger Ben cautiously asked, "Prime Minister, which one will you see?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Messenger of the Son of Heaven, how dare you slack? Let the messenger of the Son of Heaven come first..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao glanced at the household registration that was smashed on the ground, and ordered the county order, "Put it away, go down..."

The county order retreated, and the father and elder Li Zheng and a group of elderly villagers did not have Cao Cao's order, so they didn't dare to go anywhere, so they could only pestle here.

After a short time, the messenger of the Son of Heaven walked in quickly and saluted Cao Cao, "Qi Qi Prime Minister, the envoy of the Chengao Temple came to deliver the decree on the order of the Son of Heaven." ”

As soon as these words came out, a father and old fellow villagers hurriedly lifted their robes and knelt down.

Cao Cao said slowly, "What does Your Majesty command?" Read it! ”

The envoy unfolded the holy decree and recited: "Since ancient times, although the edict is known as a phase change, the rank is different, to praise the fathers, establish merits, Guangqi surname, extend to the descendants, and the surname of the concubine, how can it be different...... The husband is the king of the sages, and the matter is his own responsibility, and he is like Xi Tubanrui, in order to repay the meritorious heroes, how can he be like a widow and a widow, and the king is a king, and the reward is not abundant, how can he answer God and comfort the people! ”

"Jinjin Junjue is the king of Wei, so that the envoy is the imperial historian, Zongzheng Liu Ai Feng Cexi Xuantu Society, Tho to white grass, the first to fifth golden tiger charms, and the first to tenth bamboo envoys. Jun Qizheng is on the throne, and he leads Jizhou Mu as before. On it, the Wei Gongxi is a symbol. Respect my life, show mercy to the people, and honor the lives of my ancestors. ”

After the envoy of the high temple finished reading, he kowtowed and bowed: "Congratulations to King Wei..."

As the envoy of the high temple read, this is an edict that crowned Cao Cao from the Duke of Wei to the King of Wei.

This is also a huge hint given to the Han family after Cao Cao completed the construction of Luoyang.

- This King of Wei, if you give it to the Son of Heaven, if you don't give it, he will take it like Cao Cao.

This was originally the penultimate step of the Han "Fangben" to "rename" to the Great Wei.

Cao Cao should have been excited and ecstatic about this!

It's just that...

At this moment, Cao Cao, listening to the words in this edict, he was not excited, he was not ecstatic, but felt a huge irony...

- The prince of the sages, do your own thing.

- Tuwei Sheji, Jun Fu will be the general, the dragon and the tiger will be excited, the head of the war, and the slaughter of his cave.

——The Battle of Yangping, personally holding the armor, going deep into the danger, destroying the thief, killing its fierceness and ugliness, and settling the west.

These are all great achievements.

But at this time...

Face the situation in front of you.

There is not one in the prime of life, and the woman is forced to remarry, and all the parents and relatives are panicked.

In this situation, Cao Cao only felt that he was ashamed of his hometown fathers...

Thinking about it again, Qian Pei is like this, so? What about the other cities and counties of Great Wei?

He Cao Cao only felt ashamed of the world.

Oh, yes.

The battle reports of those who died.

Jiangxia 60,000, Xiangfan 35,000... These, when crossed in front of Cao Cao, are just cold numbers, but for the entire Great Wei, for the cities and counties of the Great Wei, that is the general reality of Chiguoguo's 'life and souls'.

It seemed that seeing that Cao Cao did not accept the order, the envoy of the high temple hurriedly said: "King Wei, right now, the heaven, the right place, and the right people are ready, and the King of Wei has established immortal feats, don't postpone it..."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and asked, "The right time, the right place, and the right people?" ”

At this point, he turned around and muttered as he walked along the muddy road to the village of the county:

"Fifteen from the army, eighty years to return. Dao meets the villagers, who is there in the family?

Looking at it from afar, it is the Jun family, and the pine and cypress mounds are tired. The rabbit enters from the dog's sinus, and the pheasant flies from the beam.

The atrium is born in the valley, and Inoue is born in the valley. Chung Gu holds for cooking, and picks sunflower for soup.

The soup is cooked for a while, I don't know who it is! When I went out to look east, tears stained my clothes. ”

Singing this Hou, Cao Cao's mood seems to be even more tragic... He raised his voice, and he chanted loudly: "The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines... The thought breaks people's intestines—"

The voice fell.

What Cao Cao saw was behind the muddy road, hidden under the appearance of "Taiping" and "Antian", and the appearance of nine out of ten households in Qian County.

It's those houses that are still there, but they are in ruins, and no one lives in them, and it's the whole county... No more young people!

This...

Is this what he Cao Cao brought to this world?

Is this what he Cao Cao has fought all his life to bring to the world?

Really?

Really?

Cao Cao still remembers that when he was a student, he was committed to being "the assistant of the emperor and the pillar of the country", and was committed to being a general of the Han Dynasty and the west, leaving a name in history;

He remembered that when he was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he set up a five-colored stick and beat the powerful;

He remembered that when he made the Dunqiu Order, he issued the 'Ten Sins' to return the people to the sky;

He remembered that when he was the prime minister of Jinan, he destroyed the evil shrine and gave hope to the people.

He still remembers, he bent down to serve Dong, he raised his arms and shouted;

He remembered that when the princes of the Eighteenth Road were begging for Dong, the kings looked north, and I went from the west, but I was defeated and returned...

He remembers...

"Haha..."

"Hahahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, first wildly, but soon turned into a forbearant laugh, into a bitter laugh, into a sarcastic laugh.

This total laughter has become that he has become the "King of Wei", this one person is under him? No... He is already at the top of this era, he is already the one above ten thousand.

It's the "uncrowned emperor"!

But... What did he leave to the world?

Is his original intention still there? No... His original intention was fed to the dogs!

"Hahaha... Hahahaha... Hahaha..."

Cao Cao's laughter became more and more pathetic.

It seems that in this hometown of Qian Pei, in this ten rooms and nine emptiness, in this hometown where there is not one young man in a hundred, he Cao Cao was crowned as the king of Wei... This... How ridiculous is that?

What a mockery of this?

The dragon slayer boy has become an evil dragon after all!

How much stronger is the Great Wei under his Cao Cao than the Second Emperor Huan Ling, and when Dong Zhuo brought disaster to the country and the people?

It's just 50 steps and 100 steps!

"Hahahaha..."

In Cao Cao's increasingly mournful laughter, Cao Cao's aged body suddenly fell to the side, his hands stroking his forehead heavily, and his expression was ugly.

"Prime Minister... Prime Minister..."

"King Wei..."

Xu Chu and the envoy of the high temple opened their mouths at the same time, and they also ran towards Cao Cao at the same time.

Cao Cao, who was in pain, seemed to realize Xu Chu's arrival, he grabbed Xu Chu's arm, and whispered to him: "Huhou, you... You do one thing for Lonely! ”

With the huge pain on his forehead and the huge pathos in his heart, Cao Cao whispered to Xu Chu.

"You sent someone to tell Sun Zhongmou that he had leveled the Guan family's father and son for Gu... Lone gave the whole of Huainan, and Lone gave him Shouchun—"

Hearing this... Xu Chu's eyes froze.

Even Xu Chu was aware of this tragic fact.

In this life, the prime minister knows his mistakes, corrects his mistakes, does not admit his mistakes, and does not compromise... However, for the first time at this age, he opened his mouth to compromise.

Because of that Guan Lin;

Because of that Guan Yu, the prime minister... No, it was the King of Wei who finally compromised with Eastern Wu! A deep compromise!

…

…

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.

In the middle of the night, a series of three urgent letters were placed in front of Liu Bei and "good friend" Fa Zheng.

These are the urgent reports that have accumulated together during this period of time.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng rushed back to Chengdu from Jiangzhou, and Zhuge Liang sent people to send these urgent items together.

The first letter is the situation in Xiangfan during this time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no room for change, and the situation is changing.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng looked at each other, their eyes couldn't help but widen, they would be nervous when they saw the key points, and they were even more worried when they saw Guan Yu in an ambush, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Can... When he saw Guan Yu slashing Yu Ban and Huang Zhong shooting Pang De, Guan Lin's magical hot air balloon spied on the entire battlefield, thus... Turn the tide in the fall, and help the building to fall.

In the end, it turned the tide... The Guan family army was not destroyed, Guan Yu was unharmed, and even Wancheng counterattacked.

Situation... Reversed all at once.

This kind of great sorrow to great joy made Liu Bei's heart feel relieved, it was simply burning.

This battle was fought, this turning point, the eyes couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation, and the hearts were "banging"-

Also so shocked that he couldn't breathe was Fazheng.

He shook his head from time to time, and his head from time to time, and finally his eyes were firmly fixed on the word "hot air balloon".

In fact, when he saw the unfavorable situation stated in the previous war report, Fa Zheng also silently deduced in his heart, if it was him, how to break the situation?

He'd even thought of two or three strategies, but no doubt... None of these strategies are "perfect", they all carry huge risks, and they are not as refreshing and direct as this mysterious "hot air balloon".

It's no exaggeration to say that this hot air balloon... The help on the battlefield is revolutionary.

Looking down, you can see it at a glance, which is too big an advantage on the battlefield!

After reading this letter, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng looked at each other, and what was revealed from the eyes of the two was "mysterious", "incredible", and "miraculous"!

"This Guan Yunqi has once again brought us a huge surprise..."

Fa Zheng said with emotion.

"yes!" Liu Bei bowed his head, he no longer knew what kind of rhetoric to use to describe his praise for Guan Lin.

Even because of Guan Lin, he can no longer look directly at his son.

This is simply a galloping on the sky, and a playing in the mud!

Guan Lin, Adou... One dragon and one worm!

"I'm not surprised to be able to invent these novelties, but Yunqi was able to invite Xu Yuanzhi here, this is what surprised me!" When Liu Bei said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yun Chang admires Yuan Zhi, with Yuan Zhi in Jingzhou, my heart and Kong Ming's hearts can finally be put down." ”

Speaking of which, Fa Zheng had already taken the second letterhead, and in his opinion, Zhuge Liang sent the three letters at the same time, which was by no means accidental.

"This is Yang Yi's letter..."

Fa Zheng saw the signature, so he handed it over to Liu Bei directly.

- "Yang Yi?"

Liu Bei chanted his name in his heart, and then suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I discussed with Kong Ming before, and sent Yang Yi to Jingzhou to try to see if I could summon Yunqi to Bashu and teach Adou, I never thought that I would reply so quickly." ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei had already unfolded.

But as his eyes looked at the words on this letterhead, his face suddenly condensed.

"What? Be... Wouldn't Yunqi want to? Fa Zheng's words just blurted out.

Liu Bei directly handed him the letter again, "Xiaozhi read it yourself..."

When Fa Zheng looked at it, it turned out to be... Yang Yi didn't see this Guan family's "Qilin'er" at all, but... Through repeated visits, Yang Yi found that Jingzhou is inseparable from this Yunqi son!

Fa Zheng was a little surprised, and said with emotion: "I never thought about it, but now... Yun Qi's prestige in Jingzhou is even higher than that of General Yun Chang! ”

Speaking of this, Fa Zheng paused, "It's also... This time General Yun Chang is in danger, if it weren't for Yun Qi, this game... Don't know what it looks like yet? Mo said that it was a threat to capture Wancheng and threaten Xuchang, I am afraid that it is unknown whether Lian Yunchang can retreat with his whole body and whether Xiangyang can be saved! ”

"It's a pity..."Liu Bei said with emotion: "Adou is stubborn and disobedient to discipline, I thought that a person of the same age as Xuan Yunqi would be easier to follow and be seducing, even if he can learn a layer, it is better than his current temperament, but..."

Hearing this, Fa Zheng's eyes rolled, as if he understood Zhuge Liang's deep meaning, and hurriedly reminded, "Wei Gong's letterhead proposed another compromise method, and Kong Ming presented this letter to the Lord along with the first letter, so the meaning could not be clearer, the Lord can try another method proposed by Wei Gong?" ”

Liu Bei was startled, and then opened his mouth: "Send Adou to Jingzhou?" ”

Fa Zheng bowed, "Indeed, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, only the princes have sent their sons to the monarch as protons, and no monarch has ever sent his son to the princes, but... The lord is different from those monarchs in ancient times, and the affection between the lord and the second and third generals is not comparable to those monarchs and princes in ancient times! ”

As Liu Bei's good friend, Fa Zheng knows Liu Bei too well, don't look at Ping Su Li Fa Zheng has always stayed by Liu Bei's side, eating at the same table and sleeping in the same bed.

However, if you really want to talk about love, the friendship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan is far above the love between him Fazheng and Liu Bei, and it is not even comparable to the love between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei as a teacher and friend.

In Liu Bei's eyes, Guan Yu is a brother, and he is by no means a general, let alone the relationship between "kings" and "princes".

They are lifelong friendships.

Really...

With Fa Zheng's words, "Hahahaha" Liu Bei laughed out loud, "Those who know me, filial piety, those who know me, Kong Ming... It seems that both Kong Ming and Xiaozhi are determined that I will send Adou to Jingzhou, follow him by the side of Brother Yunqi, have a long experience, and learn skills..."

"If you are a threesome, there must be my teacher, let alone a master like Yunqi Gongzi." Fa Zheng sighed with emotion: "Adou went to Jingzhou, this move is feasible, it should be done..."

In this way, in the dialogue between this pair of good friends, the matter of sending Adou to Jingzhou is settled.

It's just that... As the third letter unfolds, all at once... It cast a thick haze over Adou's trip to Jingzhou.

"How?"

Fa Zheng noticed that Liu Bei's eyes were wrong.

Liu Bei's brows furrowed, and he pointed to the words on the letterhead... Then he handed the letter to Fazheng.

This is a letter sent by Huang Yueying to Zhuge Liang, not so much a letter as a family letter.

Of course, in the first half, Huang Yueying is talking about "Guan Lin" and "Chushui Villa", as well as the incredibleness of those magical weapons, which can be corroborated by the previous two letters, which is not surprising.

But it's strange that in the following content, Huang Yueying told Zhuge Liang about his worries, that is, after Guan Yu beheaded Guan Xing, Guan Lin and Guan Yu "broke up", left Xiangyang, and rushed to Jiangxia with his troops.

If you just rush to Jiangxia, after all, Jiangxia is also an important military town, bordering Nanyang in the north and Huainan in the east.

Protection is also important here!

However, Huang Yueying mentioned in her letter that after Guan Lin arrived in Jiangxia, he was addicted to singing and dancing every day, drunk every day and dreaming of death, and drunk with gold.

It seems that because of the death of his brother, Guan Lin was extremely traumatized.

This is spiritual sorrow!

It was also mentioned in the letterhead that Guan Lin had a-for-tat confrontation with Guan Yu before leaving, which was already a-for-tat confrontation between the Guan family's loving father and son for a long time!

And...

After arriving in Jiangxia, the persuasion of many officials failed, and even Zhang Xingcai's cry to his mother Xiahou Juan was also eloquently written.

- "Is this self-abandonment and self-pity?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but think so.

Fa Zheng's face is not good-looking, the feeling of losing a loved one can indeed make a person lose for a short time, don't forget that Guan Lin is only a teenager.

He's not mature, he's just a teenager.

As for when he will be able to come out, Fa Zheng has no bottom in his heart, and Liu Bei has no bottom in his heart...

If you count it like this, if you send Liu Chan over, wouldn't it be "addicted to singing and dancing", "drunk life and dreaming of death", "drunk gold fan" with Guan Lin, this... Not to mention the temptation, I'm afraid it's "smelly", right?

Because of this letterhead sent by Huang Yueying, Adou was originally ... This old and difficult matter, but it has already settled down, and it has suddenly been covered with a huge haze.

"Hyozhi, what do you think?"

For a while, Liu Bei hesitated and didn't know how to arrange it.

Fa Zheng also groaned, and when he heard Liu Bei ask him, he opened his mouth, but his tone was a little stumbling: "I... I think... I think..."

Don't wait for the Fa to say it.

"Big brother... Big brother..."

Outside the door, the roar of a tiger roaring and a dragon's roar, thunder and lightning rushed out.

It's Zhang Fei...

Before anyone arrived, Zhang Fei's voice had already resounded in the Zuo General's Mansion.

"I heard a letter from Xiangfan, I came from Sanba... I rode three horses to come back..."

"I just asked the eldest brother, the second brother is about to hit Xu Du and welcome back the Son of Heaven, when will the eldest brother let me go to fight the city? My eight-zhang snake spear is already hungry and thirsty! ”

That's what Zhang Fei said.

Actually, it's not that the Zhangba snake spear is hungry and thirsty, it's that he Zhang Fei is ready to move, sharpening his knife...

The latest chapter of "God of War" goes back to distinguish Cao Xiu... Zhang Fei has read it more than 100 times!

It's just written... He Zhang Fei actually lost!

This... This... This...

It's just that, Zhang Fei can't bear it-

He had to find a way back and tell Guan Lin that this chapter had to be rewritten, how could he, Zhang Fei, lose to Cao Xiu?

How could he, Zhang Fei, let Cao Xiu give a sudden break?

This... No, you can't!

This is almost Zhang Fei!
