"Destiny?"

"Not bad. ”

"Yiyuan you?" The young man on the other side asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's just that. Yang Yue responded modestly.

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Cao patted a few cases, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, his current posture was wanton and indulgent, and he completely lost the embarrassed appearance when he first met Yang Yue.

On the other side, Yang Yue couldn't help but smile when he saw this situation, and at the same time, he admired the old friend in front of him in his heart.

Since becoming the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, Cao Cao's life experience can be roughly summarized as ups and downs.

The assassination of Dong failed, and he ran for his life and death, and finally had a place to rest, but he ran into Lu Bohao's incident again, so he continued to hug his head and run away. When he ran to Zhongmu and was captured by a small pavilion chief, Cao Cao completely fell to the bottom of his life. Fortunately, the god of fate had not completely abandoned him, and at this time, a noble man helped Cao Cao to get out smoothly.

After that, Cao Cao finally encountered Chen Liu, pulled up a team, advocated the banner of righteousness, and defeated Dong Zhuo. Then, the world was begging for Dong, the princes gathered, and the slogans were loud, but there were few people who really sent troops to attack Dong.

Yang Yue sent troops, but after a small victory, Yang Yue started his cheerleader with peace of mind, focusing on waving the flag for Cao Cao and Sun Jian. After all, those Xiliang soldiers who are used to fighting Qiangrong are really difficult to deal with.

When Cao Cao stubbornly chose to fight alone, even Yang Yue, who had not studied history well, knew that his fate was not good.

However, what Yang Yue didn't expect was that Cao Cao's bad luck was not at all like that of others, but had to endure repeated beatings that were hung up by fate and repeated beatings.

Relying on the thousands of Chen Liu's soldiers, Cao Mengde heroically fought against the Xiliang soldiers who were used to cutting off Qiang Rong's head several times his own, and he was also an opponent with people like Xu Rong and Li Ru. Next, a set of standardized templates that can be called defeats went down, and Boss Cao's capital and belongings almost lost a bottom. If it weren't for Cao Hong following him, this time, Cao Cao's fragments of the Three Kingdoms would probably have to stay on the battlefield of Xingyang.

Later, the bankrupt boss Cao chose to start a business again without hesitation. In the battle against Dong, Sun Wentai led thousands of Huaisi disciples to charge into battle, and the scene of fire left a deep impression on people. So, Cao Cao also learned from Sun Jian and went to Yangzhou to recruit troops. It's just that along the way, there are not many people who are optimistic about him and willing to invest in him again.

Later facts proved that not everyone can stand the elite soldiers, at least, Boss Cao is still almost hot. The recruitment army composed of 4,000 Huaiyang and strong people went from Danyang to Longkang, and then mutinied.

Late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the children who met together to serve the country during the day burned Cao Cao's big tent and chased and intercepted him. Meng De held Yitian in his hands, led a few cronies behind him, and killed dozens of people with his own hands before he was able to break out of the encirclement. When he ran to Huaishui, there were only more than 500 people left around him, and Meng De himself was covered with blood, like a demon.

This is also the appearance of Cao Cao that Yang Yue saw when he rushed to the Huaishui side.

Nine deaths and a lifetime to get here, overnight, but almost everything was lost, and he almost let the mutinous subordinates snatch the fragments. suffered such a setback, but Cao Cao was still able to sit opposite him, talking and laughing, this is what Yang Yue had to admire him.

After saying goodbye to the sour dates, I hadn't heard Meng De laugh so heartily for a long time. Looking at Cao Cao, who was laughing wildly, Yang Yue said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Cao restrained his smile and said in a solemn tone: "Yiyuan, do you remember the poem of seven sorrows that Zhong Xuan made at the beginning?"

“......”

Yang Yue was silent, while Cao Cao looked at the rushing Huaishui beside him and began to chant to himself: "When you go out, you can't see anything, and the white bones cover the plain." There are hungry women on the road, holding their children and abandoning the grass. Gu heard the crying sound, and waved his tears and didn't return the ......"

“... I don't know where I died, how can I finish the two phases..."Yang Yue opened his mouth with difficulty, and then closed his mouth after reading it. This time, even Cao Cao stopped talking, and the two fell silent together.

After a while, Cao Cao sighed and said: "At the beginning, you and I raised troops to fight against Dong for the sake of the righteousness of the world and the common people. But now, after the discussion of Dong, the three auxiliary lands are almost into ashes, and the Han family and the people are displaced. After the discussion of Dong, it is still not the first to ......"

Having said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head: "My big man, how did you get to this point?"

Yang Yue replied with disappointment: "When people's hearts change, the way of the world will naturally change." ”

"Meng De, stay! You don't have more than a thousand soldiers, even if you go to Yanzhou, what can you do, stay and help me, and peace on the other side, isn't it?" Yang Yue sincerely sent an invitation to the young man sitting opposite.

Cao Cao replied very unimpressedly: "Stay? haha! If I stay here, I will inevitably divide your authority, one place, two government decrees, and there will be chaos in the long run." If you're the only one here, you might be able to keep the peace here. Although Yanzhou is in chaos now, there is also a turnaround, and I may not be able to make a difference. ”

The matter of destiny is unpredictable, and it may indeed be as Yiyuan said. Speaking of this, Cao Cao pointed to his chest, and declared word by word: "But Cao Mengde has always preferred to lose the world and live up to this heart." I don't believe in the destiny of heaven, I only do my best. The husband is in the world, how can he just survive and make a difference, so that he is worthy of this life. If there really is a destiny in front of the road, then you will earn another destiny!"

Looking at the impassioned old friend in front of him, Yang Yue couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

After so many years, Cao Mengde is still the dissolute and chivalrous young man in Luoyang City, and he has never changed.

"Haha! Okay, Cao Mengde, heroic ambition, swear as it did at the beginning. I'm waiting to see if the world will be the king's destiny or my destiny in the future! Come, this cup, I'll pay homage to you. Yang Yue picked up his glass and said.

After that, the two of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses and drank the send-off wine.

When he was drunk, Cao Cao also mentioned a sentence: "If Cao Ru is really defeated and dies, someone will give you the fragment in my hand." ”

In this regard, Yang Yue said disdainfully: "Hmph! You better guard it yourself! When the time comes, I will snatch it from you!"

On the bank of Huaishui, after the two solemnly said goodbye, Cao Cao continued to lead his remaining soldiers to Yanzhou and open up his career.

In troubled times, like a strong wind and water, the forests are destroyed, and the avenue is increasingly degraded, and the next thing will be the Central Plains where despicable people and opportunists rise together.

However, no matter how big the wind and snow in this world are, there will always be people who ignore the wind and snow, never give up, and move forward.
