Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 685 The last thing I regret

Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder in his ears, causing Cao Cao's mind to return to this battlefield.

He also knew that Liu Bei's third brother was always outspoken, but no matter what, the "Cao Gou" in his face made him furious, and he wanted to get up and fight with this black guy immediately.

I want to get up, I want to lift my sword, I want to fight for my life.

But the slightest movement of his body was met with boundless pain, which made him moan in uncontrollable pain.

I can’t remember the last time I was so seriously injured. After all, in normal times, he is Cao Xiaolian, the magistrate of Cao County, the captain of Cao County, the general of Fenwu, the prefect of Dongjun, and the shepherd of Yanzhou. It was General Zhendong, the general whom the young emperor had given him in a sensible manner, and the unparalleled Prime Minister Cao.

It might have been the King of Wei, but now he was lying on the dirt, and it was difficult to even lift one hand.

Then that black face filled the field of vision again, with a look of admiration on his face:

"He was only half-killed by the Taiping Cannon of the Han Dynasty General Weihe Shenwei. He was really lucky."

Cao Cao didn't want to pay attention to him. One reason was that when he saw this face, he remembered the rude letters written by this person, and he suddenly became upset.

The other is because he is most concerned about other things at the moment:

"I...lost?"

"otherwise?"

The four words "natural" are clearly written on this black face:

"You forced the athletes to be bombarded by the Taiping artillery of the Hanwei and Shenwei generals for two rounds. The result was that the former army rolled back and the two sides were killed."

"I led the men across the river and spent a lot of effort to calm down the commotion. Now they all have no intention of fighting. It's time to surrender and it's time to run away. You will be defeated."

Although this was the only result that could be pointed to from all aspects, when Zhang Fei said it himself, Cao Cao still couldn't accept it for a while:

"Six years ago, Liu Bei abandoned his armor and dragged his troops. He couldn't even protect his wife. Chibi relied on Jiangdong Zhou Gongjin to keep him safe."

"Six years later, I was defeated in a moment, and my inheritance of thirty years was buried. Why? Why!"

The black face in front of him immediately stopped all smiles and picked him up with one hand, a fierce face almost pressing against him:

"Why? Just for you to massacre the city, kill the people, and kill the good families!"

"Do you know that all the homeless people want to feed you?"

"Do you know that a thousand years later, Han'er will also remember your massacre?"

He yelled and cursed three times in a row, and the sound was like a thunderous thunder that penetrated Cao Cao's entire body from top to bottom, and even his ears started to buzz.

This actually aroused the anger in his heart even more, but before he could curse, Zhang Fei immediately let go and opened his mouth:

"You're so vulgar...Ooohhhhhhhh..."

This series of ups and downs of scattered wails made Zhang Fei raise his eyebrows, but when he saw his brother coming, he hurriedly said the next sentence and walked away:

"I don't have time to listen to dogs barking. I'm busy."

Cao Cao swore that Changbanpo's failure to order the entire army to attack and kill Zhang Fei was definitely the thing he regretted most in his life.

Well, one of the things I regret the most.

The black man walked away, and a familiar face caught Cao Cao's eyes.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, the color of the crown jade of the past can be vaguely seen, and the disappointment on his face when he committed himself to Xu Du is completely invisible.

A touch of heroism was supported by the gentle smile in his eyes, and beyond his brows, there was a hint of the arrogant knight-errant in his youth.

"I haven't seen him for six years. Meng De is graceful and noble."

Liu Bei leaned over and said hello, then asked someone to bring over two chairs facing the Gushui River, and then placed Cao Cao in the recliner, not forgetting to comfort him:

"Military doctors have seen Meng De when he was unconscious just now. His bones were broken in two places and his internal organs were slightly displaced."

"If you take medicine on time and cultivate yourself for three or four months, you'll probably be fine."

Cao Cao was a little uncomfortable being moved to the bed, and then he realized that his body's consciousness seemed to have recovered a little, and he could at least make some simple movements. At this time, he could slightly adjust his sitting posture to make his body sink in more comfortably.

However, when he lowered his head like this, he saw his armor and robe hem stained with blood and mud.

On the other hand, Liu Bei, although he is not wearing Gebuyi, is not wearing Shu brocade, which is abundant in Bazhong. Compared with his prime minister's attire, it pales in comparison, but with the chivalrous look on his face, he looks more calm.

Li Li shook his head: "How valuable is the safety of the prisoners below? What's the use of all this? Why don't you kill me?"

Waving his hands to signal the soldiers to stay away, Liu Bei stared at the gurgling river and said straight to the point:

"The living people were slaughtered in Xuzhou, and their bones were crushed in Jingji."

"My wife died in the sun, and the people died in Xinye. This is the reason to kill you."

Cao Cao nodded and commented:

"This behavior is in line with your behavior."

"If you want to express my guilt, you might as well go to Xudu to find Chen Lin. He will definitely be very willing to write another long article."

Liu Bei laughed, patted his thigh and said:

"But this man also had the merit of defeating Wuhuan in three counties, killing Tadun and Jingbei, and sweeping away Di and garrison. This achievement will be shown in later generations."

Cao Cao also laughed hard:

"Po Wuhuan is just one of them, but in fact he went to destroy the remnants of the Yuan family. How can he be credited with merit?"

"How do you and I know how future generations will remember and express it? With Xuande's current strength, it is just around the corner to re-establish the Han Dynasty and proclaim him king and emperor."

"I'm just a Han thief with a non-Liu surname, so why waste my words?"

Before he finished speaking, he started coughing. For a while, the Gushui River was quiet, with only the running water running south.

To Cao Cao, these words could be regarded as words of sincerity and anger.

Just as he expressed his wish to "unite the nine states and bring peace to the world" and "Zhou Gong spits out food to feed his guests, and the world will be at peace" in his poems written in the 10th year of Jian'an, it was from his heart.

Just as he sighed in "Shuzhi Ling" in the 15th year of Jian'an, "If there is no me in the country, I don't know how many people will be emperors and how many will be kings", it was also his true feelings at that time.

And just two years later, he fell out with Xun Yu because of his wish to be king, and became the target of abuse in "Shuzhi Ling", which was also from his original intention.

It was no different from what he had seen of Liu Bei.

What was the difference between Liu Bei and him? It was a pity that his surname was Cao instead of Liu.

So Cao Cao had a relaxed smile on his face at this moment. What if he lost?

Even if Liu Bei was truly kind and righteous and had no interest in the one who called me "I am the king", didn't these good ministers and brave generals he raised have any other thoughts when they saw the mediocre emperor?

But what was unexpected was that Liu Bei asked a strange question when he spoke again:

"Where does Meng De think the Qi River flows to?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao sneered:

"Why, do you think that no matter how you act, the world will eventually belong to Liu Han?"

There was no response to the sneer. When he turned around, he was greeted by Liu Bei's sincere and calm eyes as always:

"Meng De's literary talent is far better than mine, but his mind is also more important than mine."

After saying that, Liu Bei did not beat around the bush and said:

"I am lucky to know where the Qi River flows to, which is the key to my lucky victory."
