Cao Cao looked at Lu Yi's outstretched hand and came back to his senses.

But there was no reply.

He just lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought.

Lu Yi is not in a hurry.

Chong Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Dun smiled, Lu Yi took out three cloth packages with "telescopes" written on them from the wooden box, handed them to them one by one and said: "The first time we meet, a small gift, not a tribute!" ”

Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, and Xiahoudun all looked at Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao had no objection, the three of them took the cloth package and opened it.

Xiahoudun looked a little excited, and hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, amazed.

Lu Yi looked at the wall of the Sword Pavilion Pass again.

Xun You and the others also looked at him.

Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then handed two cloth packages with "telescopes" written on them to Zhou Fang and said, "You send them over to those soldiers on the city wall." ”

Zhou Fang took the cloth package, answered, and galloped towards the Sword Pavilion Pass.

The soldiers at the gates of the city walls did not stop them.

Zhou Fang rode a war horse straight into the Sword Pavilion Pass, dismounted, and then ran up the city wall.

Looking at Xun You and the others, Zhou Fang asked, "Who is the military advisor here?" ”

Xun You and Zhong Xuan stepped forward.

Zhou Fang handed them two cloth packages and said, "We King Wu gave them to you!" ”

After speaking, he ran down the city wall, rode away, and returned to Lu Yi and the others.

Xun You and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other and opened their packages.

Sure enough, there was also a telescope inside.

The two held binoculars against their right eyes and looked at Cao Cao and Lu Yi.

Xun You's mouth trembled slightly.

He finally understood why Cao Cao exclaimed with this telescope just now, and even staggered back a few steps.

This thing is simply a heaven-defying artifact for the commander on the battlefield!

With this thing, the so-called ambushes in the distance, and the enemy's troops are busy arranging and arranging, all fall into sight!

After Zhong Xuan looked at Cao Cao and Lu Yi with a telescope, he looked at the heavy cavalry trapped in the camp in the extreme distance.

Even, he saw Gao Shun!

Zhong Xuan muttered, "Wu Guo, why was he able to make such an artifact? I kind of understand why we can't beat it. How else can this be fought? ”

Xun You put down the binoculars, handed them to the generals beside him, nodded approvingly, and said a little distractedly: "We have lost too completely." ”

Other generals passed the telescopes of Xun You and Zhong Xuan.

For a moment, the entire city wall was filled with exclamations.

Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, turned his head and looked at the wall of the Sword Pavilion Pass behind him.

Looking at the soldiers as if they had never seen the world, Cao Cao's expression was very gloomy.

After a while, he turned his head, looked at Lu Yi and said, "Give me an hour to think about it." ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Don't worry, my father-in-law thinks slowly." ”

Cao Jie hurriedly said: "Father! ”

Cao Cao ignored Cao Jie, but looked at the two dying war horses physically and mentally exhausted, and then turned over and walked to the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Seeing this, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and Xiahoudun did not follow.

Only Xu Chu rode his horse to follow.

The two entered the Sword Pavilion Pass and climbed the city wall.

Xun You, Zhong Xuan and other soldiers looked at Cao Cao one after another, their faces full of anticipation and pleading.

Although none of them spoke.

Cao Cao stopped in front of them, scanning each of their faces.

After a long time, he squeezed out a pale smile and said, "Princes, what do you think, what do you think of these two weapons of King Wu?" ”

Xun Yu lowered his head.

Zhong Xuan let out a long sigh.

Captain Lejin still has a telescope in his hand.

Walking forward, Le Jin bit the back socket, and this time he mustered up the courage to say: "The king wants to cut off my head, please let me finish speaking." ”

"This telescope has already demonstrated the huge gap in strength between us and the Wu Kingdom."

"Go on, we're just trying in vain."

"I'm not afraid of death."

"The king wants me to die, and I can jump off the wall at once."

"However, I don't want the soldiers to continue to die in vain."

In the crowd, Yu Ban also walked up, forced a laugh, and said in a hoarse voice: "King, the minister has been fighting with Ling on the march for more than ten years, and you should know the minister's heart." However, now, the gap between us and Wu Guo is no more—"

Yu Ban sighed heavily and didn't say any more.

Cao Cao saw that Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Yu Ban and Le Jin all said this, so he didn't ask any more.

He just walked down the city wall, rode his war horse, and walked in front of countless soldiers.

There are also 10,000 tigers and leopards riding here.

There are also nearly 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers he brought out.

All the faces here are so familiar to him.

However, from these familiar faces, he clearly saw everyone's trepidation, anticipation, and pleading.

Cao Cao finally stopped on the city wall, looking into the distance, looking in the direction of Xudu.

His thoughts flew far away.

He remembered the scene when he first became filial piety, served as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, and beat to death the eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle with a five-colored stick.

He remembered the scene when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was revolted, and he followed General Huangfu Song to pacify the Yellow Turbans.

He remembered the scene of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, when he raised volunteers in Chen Guo, elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and summoned the princes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo.

He remembered the scene of the three battles against Lu Bu and the recapture of Yanzhou.

He remembered the scene when he was the king of Qin, received Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and set the capital of Xudu.

Scenes of the past are constantly reproduced in my mind.

After a long time, Cao Cao raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl.

I think that at the beginning, when he first entered the officialdom, he was still a high-spirited young man.

Nowadays, the sideburns are slightly frosty, and the person is old.

Back then, those heroes who fought together or were enemies are also gone.

Yourself, or maybe it's time to quit the stage.

Inside and outside the Sword Pavilion Pass, all the defenders heard Cao Cao's long whistle and shed tears one by one.

On the city wall, Xun You pressed his hands on the city wall, looked down at the ground, and tears rolled down like a broken embankment.

There had never been a moment like this moment when he felt sad and helpless.

Cao Cao stood on the city wall for a long time before he walked to the city wall above the city gate, and in countless pairs of eyes, he slowly pulled out the handsome flag and threw down the city wall.

on the city walls.

Inside the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Countless soldiers knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "King! ”

"King!"

"King!"

Cao Cao listened to the uniform shout, closed his eyes, and tears fell from his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, sniffled, looked down at Lu Yi, who had seen from outside the city, opened his hands, and said loudly: "The last announcement as the king of Liang." ”

"From now on, my Liang Kingdom no longer exists!"

"All soldiers, give up resistance and throw yourself into the country of Wu!"

All the soldiers said in unison again: "King! ”

"King!"

"King!"

After the three sounds, the entire Sword Pavilion was silent.

Cao Cao took off his cloak, untied his sword, and asked Xun You and others to bring "Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven", pass on the jade seal of the country, seal the letter of King Liang, and take the civil and military officials down the city wall and walk towards Lu Yi.

Lu Yi hurriedly led everyone to greet him.

Ling Tong rode his horse back, beckoning Gao Shun's heavy cavalry to come up.

The two sides met.

Cao Cao was about to kneel.

Lu Yi hurriedly resisted Cao Cao, held his hands and said, "My father-in-law is on top, how can I stand it?" ”

Cao Cao squeezed out a smile and held the sword, the heirloom jade seal and the seal of the King of Liang to Lu Yi with both hands.

Lu Yi asked Shi Huan to take it.

"Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven", also walked up at this time.

Seeing Lu Yi, "Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven", was about to kneel.

Lu Yi hurriedly stopped.

"Son of Heaven Liu Xie" glanced at Cao Cao, and then said to Lu Yi: "Actually, I am not the Son of Heaven. ”

Cao Cao et al.: "."

Lu Yi also looked at "Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven", suspiciously.

That's what he's been asking all along.

After Xu was defeated by Yuan Shao, the civil and military officials saw Liu Xie, the son of heaven, killed outside the main hall by the general Geng Ji.

Subsequently, the general Geng Ji also killed himself.

What is the "Son of Heaven Liu Xie" in front of him?

"Son of Heaven Liu Xie" let out a long breath and mustered up the courage to say to Lu Yi: "My name is Ding Ze, and I am an orphan who looks very similar to the Son of Heaven. In the past, when I was dying of starvation, it was Xun Lingjun who picked me up and cultivated me according to the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Cao Cao withdrew from the Central Plains and wanted to take the Son of Heaven away with him."

"Xun Lingjun wants to keep the last drop of blood for the Han, so let me pretend to be the Son of Heaven and leave with Cao Cao."

"And the real Son of Heaven stayed in Xudu under a fake identity."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Xun Lingjun would be given death by the True Son of Heaven, and the True Son of Heaven would also die in Xudu."

Cao Cao's eyes shrank slightly.

Xun Yu!

Xun Yu actually gave himself such a trick!

However, as soon as the anger rushed overhead, it disappeared in an instant.

Xun Yu would do this, wasn't it expected?

He has been following himself before, hasn't he always been towards the Son of Heaven, and wants to use his own strength to keep the last bit of the Han bloodline, and wants the Han to leave the scene with dignity?

It's just that he obviously underestimated the ambition of the Son of Heaven.

Now, it's a price to pay.

Lu Yi obviously didn't expect that Xun Yu would make this show.

Thinking of Xun Yu being given death, Lu Yi came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.

This may also be the ending that Liu Xie deserves!

He actually gave death to the last loyal minister of this great man.

After Ding Ze finished speaking, he knelt down, prostrate on the ground, and said to Lu Yi: "King Wu, you can execute me." ”

Lu Yi looked down at Ding Ze, shook his head, helped him up and said, "Get up!" If you have the courage to expose all this, it is worth living. ”

Ding Ze looked at Lu Yi with a smile on his face.

I made the right bet.

King Wu was a benevolent and righteous king after all, unlike Cao Cao.

Ding Ze stood behind Lu Yi.

Lu Yi calmed down, and then walked to Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals and strategists, and patted them on the shoulders one by one.

After seeing everyone, Lu Yi opened his hands and said loudly: "From now on, you are all soldiers of my Wu Kingdom!" ”

"Let's work together to calm the world and seek well-being for the people of the world!"

"Lonely, we will treat everyone with lofty ideals equally."

"Let's plant the flag in every corner of the world and raise the national prestige of our country!"

Ling Tong roared excitedly, "King Wu! ”

The soldiers of the entire Sword Pavilion Pass roared in unison: "King Wu! ”

"King Wu!"

"King Wu!"

Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and the others in the extreme distance, as well as the army, heard the neat roar from the Sword Pavilion Pass, and they all looked at each other and laughed.

It worked!

Xu Shu also roared loudly with the sound in the distance: "King Wu! ”

Zhang Liao and the army echoed at the same time: "King Wu! ”

The entire heaven and earth echoed with a neat and uniform roar: "King Wu! King Wu! King Wu."
