"Do you think I don't know, you helped me when I took the school Zijian exam? You helped Zijian frame my Ziwen many times, do you think I don't know? That's because I don't think about it, I just want to temper and temper my two sons more, I never thought that you are doing more and more excessively, what? If you want me to die under Duan Dahu's hands, then you will support Zijian to take the throne, and naturally your princely and general position is indispensable, which is far better than the small marching master who is now under my hands. Right?" Cao Cao asked angrily.

Yang Xiu was already too frightened to make a sound, knelt on the ground and said: "Prime Minister, you have wronged your subordinates, although your subordinates are stupid, they will never dare to do such a rebellious thing!"

"Wronged you?" Cao Cao sneered: "All the soldiers of the army can testify, how can I wronged you?"

Yang Xiudao: "The prime minister has already made it clear that he will fight a decisive battle with Duan Dahu, how dare his subordinates spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army?"

Cao Cao nodded, so angry that he couldn't speak, and said angrily: "It seems that you don't see the coffin and don't cry! ”

After a while, Yang Xiu's entourage slowly walked into the tent and Cao Cao asked: "You follow Yang Xiu day and night, have you ever heard Yang Xiu's words of "eating without meat, it is a pity to abandon it"?

The servants looked at each other, knelt in front of Cao Cao tremblingly, and said, "The prime minister is above, I don't dare to lie, this is indeed from the mouth of the son." ”

A servant continued: "When the prince heard that the prime minister had set the slogan as chicken ribs, he told us and asked me to go and spread it in the army. ”

Another servant said: "As for the behavior of the son in recent days, the slave really doesn't know, in recent days, the slaves around our son have felt drowsy all the time, they must have contracted the wind and cold, and they have not served by the side of the son." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "What a cold, there are so many people at once!"

A lot of evidence unfavorable to Yang Xiu was placed in front of Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu was already speechless, pointing to those old servants: "You have followed me for so long, I, Yang Xiu, have nothing to be sorry for you, why do you want to speak out and frame me?"

"What else do you have to say?" Cao Cao asked angrily.

Except for the word "wronged", the subordinates have nothing to say. Yang Xiu knelt on the ground. A calm look with a clear conscience.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else have you wronged?" Cao Cao said angrily: "Zhongda, what crime should you be guilty of spreading rumors, disturbing the morale of the army, and leaking military aircraft?"

"Returning to the prime minister, according to military law, you should be beheaded!" Sima Yi replied lightly, as if all this in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Come on, drag Yang Zhubo down and behead him, with the right military law!" Cao Cao said.

Outside the camp gate, two heavily armed tigers and leopards rushed in, picked up Yang Xiu and carried them out, Yang Xiu knew that he could not escape death, he knew the truth of "there is no excuse for the crime he wanted to add", he did not struggle, and no longer justified how he was wronged, and calmly went to death.

After a few war drums, the extreme sword and axe hand took Yang Xiu's head and presented it to Cao Cao to see, Cao Cao couldn't help but sit down in his chair, speechless.

looked at his already gray sideburns, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart, maybe only that person could help him!

When Cao Cao heard the reason, he remembered the matter of Yang Xiu recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms book that the master gave him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This Yang Xiu is also a talent, but it's a pity that he died so unclear." ”

Huang Zhong said: "My lord, the decisive battle is imminent, and the strength of the Cao army is several times that of mine, can there be a way to meet the enemy?"

Duan Dahu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old general, although the military division is far away in Chengdu at the moment, there must have been some arrangements. "When marching and fighting, occasionally play some tricks, but when it comes to such a big battle, it still has to rely on Zhuge Liang to decide.

Duan Dahu just arranged rectification, rest and rest, the time of seven days passed in a flash, early in the morning, Duan Dahu woke up early, prepared the army and horses, the soldiers were full of energy, waiting for Duan Dahu's order, all the generals also knew that this was a battle that decided life and death, Duan Dahu did not say much, he believed that the soldiers also knew the importance of this battle, there were no extra words, 100,000 soldiers were full of slaughter, standing on the bank of the Hanshui River.

In front of the two armies, the yellow sand was pervasive, and Cao Cao saw Duan Dahu's army neatly looking neat from a distance, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "If Duan Dahu can join forces with me, why worry about the injustice of the world!"

"Come on, put a good wine on the table for me in front of the battle, and I want to talk to my brother before the battle!" Cao Cao said.

Several tiger and leopard horsemen listened to Cao Cao's order, and in the center of the two army formations, where the rain of arrows on both sides could not reach, a table and a jar of fine wine were placed.

Duan Dahu looked at it very clearly, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Cao Cao's gourd could sell, so he saw Xu Chu galloping to Duan Dahu's front of the formation, and arched his hand: "General Duan, my prime minister has asked for a talk before the battle." ”

"Before the battle?" Duan Dahu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Huang Zhong persuaded: "Lord, Cao Cao is scheming, don't fall for Cao Cao's tricks!"

Duan Dahu said with a smile: "It's okay, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and went straight to the middle of the battle, only to see that Cao Cao had already sat there and waited for a long time, and there were two sets of wine cups on the table.

Duan Dahu slowly dismounted, stepped forward, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "Brother, how are you doing recently?" Although the two met in front of the battle the day before yesterday, they had never spoken so closely as today.

After the two separated from the Chibi War, in the past few years, the two have also experienced a lot of things, and after listening to Duan Dahu's words, they almost shed tears and forcibly stopped their tears.

Pointing to the seat that had already been set up for Duan Dahu on the opposite side, he said, "Sit!"

Everyone saw it really in front of the battle, only to see Duan Dahu and Cao Cao talking and laughing, talking happily with each other, and they seemed to have forgotten that the upcoming battle would determine the fate of the two.

After about a stick of incense, Duan Dahu got up to say goodbye, Cao Cao also got up, and arched his hands on the horse, and the two of them returned to their own formation. The autumn breeze blows through the Han River and blows on the soldiers, making people even more chilly.

"Knock knock knock-" The war drums in Duan Dahu's camp sounded first, and the war drums in Cao Cao's camp also slowly sounded, Duan Dahu's.

The autumn breeze blows, the yellow sand flies, and the battlefield is full of slaughter, like two fierce beasts, sniffing each other, afraid of each other's claws, no one dares to step forward.
