On the bank of Gushui, Cao Cao's breath became weaker and weaker. When Yu Jin came to Cao Cao with Wu Yi, he saw that he had only one breath left.

When Xu Chu saw Wu Yi, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he drew his sword and said angrily: "Traitor, I will kill you!"

Wu Yi ignored him and just bowed to Cao Cao: "I have met Duke Cao!"

"Zhong Kang, stop!" Cao Cao raised his hand with great effort to stop Xu Chu: "Da Lang has come here now because he has the advantage. It's righteousness. If you kill him now, you can vent your anger, but you and I will die after death." Also bear the name of injustice!”

Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't kill him, it's hard to vent the hatred in your heart!"

"Kill him, I will regret Jiuquan!" Cao Cao motioned to Cao Hong to drag Xu Chu away, looked at Wu Yi and smiled: "This is a good demeanor, he has the style of a general, but he is a bit reckless."

"Gong Cao is kind to me, and I can't let him go. But now that Cao Gong is recruiting me, even if my life is in danger, justice must come. I have left a military order. If I am kidnapped, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not take care of it." I will kill everyone immediately, including you!" Wu Yi bowed.

"Okay, you have courage." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Sit with me!"

Wu Yi nodded, and followed Cao Cao, sitting on the bank of the Gushui, watching the slowly passing Gushui. Wu Yi said nothing, but Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's a pity, you can't capture me alive."

"Mr. Cao, there's something I don't understand!" Wu Yi asked with a frown.

"Say." Cao Cao nodded.

"Since you are at the end of your rope, why don't you want to surrender? You and my lord even become friends. Even if you surrender, my lord will definitely treat Cao Gong well. Why is this?" Wu Yi asked with a frown.

"Why is this so?" Cao Cao looked at the river, shook his head and said: "Da Lang, if I were like you, assisting others, I would inevitably surrender when I was in dire straits, but there is no turning back on this road between me and Bo Dao. , Either take over the world, or die, there is no third way.”

Why? Wu Yi doesn’t understand.

"When old friends get together, don't talk about these spoiling things, and don't try to take me to see him. Cao Cao doesn't want to see him when he is alive." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I don't think that the taciturn young man in the past has now become a general."

Wu Yi shook his head: "Mr. Cao is overly praised."

"If you go back, tell Bo Dao for me... If you can hunt Jiangdong in the future, please try to protect my wife and children." Cao Cao didn't say much. Whether it is right or not is for the world to judge whether Wu Yi is a general. ? At least in Cao Cao's view, Wu Yi is qualified now.

"I will definitely bring this message to you." Wu Yi nodded.

"Also, whether it is Jiangdong or Liu Bei, if you want to fight against Chen Mo, you must take Xichuan. The king of Shu, Liu Zhang, is weak and is not the master of success, so he cannot make a plan. If you want to win the world, you must take Bashu first. If Bashu is determined, then The world is determined, if Bashu is the leader of any of the Sun and Liu families, If the family gains nothing, the world will suffer from war. I know that Bo Dao has the ambition to bring peace to the world as soon as possible..." At this point, Cao Cao sighed regretfully and said: "Originally, I should have done this, but now that I have been defeated, the world It can only be decided by him, no one else can."

Wu Yi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Cao Cao and said, "Does Mr. Cao hate my lord?"

"Hate!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth after hearing this: "If he had joined hands with me back then, the world would have been determined now. My brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun would have died in his hands. Now Yuan Rang and Miaocai have also died in the rebellion. , half of the talented people in my Cao family died at his hands, do you think I should hate it?"

Wu Yi nodded. If you say this, you should indeed hate it, but how can anyone not die in a war? If you have the ability, report it back. If you don't have the ability, then you can only admit it. The hatred between the country and the family is sometimes indiscriminate.

"But as I said before, this road is a road of no return. Since Bo Dao and I have both embarked on this road, it is natural that we will live and die according to our destiny. It is a pity... that we could not see him again in the end." Cao Cao looked at Wu Yi: "I know what you want to ask, but Jiangdong helped me after all. Now that I am defeated, I can't drag them down."

Wu Yi nodded and had no intention of asking Jiang Dong about the location of the men and horses.

Cao Cao didn't talk about anything else, and started talking about trivial things, talking about his woman, his son, and comparing himself with Chen Mo's son. As he talked, his voice fell silent. When Wu Yi looked, he saw that Cao Cao's head had been lowered. , no sound.

Wu Yi sighed, stood up, silently saluted Cao Cao's corpse, and turned to look at the generals.

"Lord!" Xu Chu's eyes filled with tears, and he knelt down in front of Cao Cao with a bang. He kowtowed three times, then stood up, looked at Wu Yi, and pulled out his sword with red eyes.

Wu Yi's eyes darkened, he took a step back and stretched out his hand to press the knife.

"Not to kill you is my lord's last order. Although I want to kill you, I am afraid that my lord will blame me!" Xu Chu glared at Wu Yi coldly, then put the knife across his neck and roared: "My lord, please wait a moment. , Xu Chu is coming!”

After saying that, he suddenly pulled the handle of the knife, blood spurted out, and Xu Chu's burly body fell straight next to Cao Cao.

"My lord, wait a moment, Cao Hong is here!" In Wu Yi's shocked eyes, Cao Hong drew his sword and killed himself without hesitation.

Wu Yi looked at the bodies of the two people and remained silent for a long time. Then he looked at Yu Jin, Mao Jie and Li Dian who were standing aside, and said in a deep voice: "Three of you, although there was enmity in the dispute between my lord and Duke Cao, now Duke Cao is dead. , with the abilities of these three generals, if they are willing to surrender, my lord will not treat you lightly, I hope you will think twice!"

Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally did not seek death. Wu Yi continued to persuade: "General Le Jin is now serving in Xiliang. If the three of you are willing, I would like to ask the lord for orders to send the three generals to the border areas and protect them." The environment is safe and the people are safe, and the name can be left in history.”

Now that Cao Cao is dead, although Cao Ang and others have been sent to Jiangdong, it is difficult for them to do anything. After this battle, the Central Plains is all Chen Mo's. They have accompanied Cao Cao to the end, which is regarded as being loyal to Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is dead, they continue to follow Seeking death makes people hesitate.

In the end, Yu Jin and the other three chose to remain silent and allowed Wu Yi to arrest them and bring them along with Cao Cao's body to see Chen Mo.

Beihai and Gaomi have now been captured by Chen Mo.

When Wu Yi brought the bodies of Cao Cao, Xu Chu and others, as well as Yu Jin and others, to see Chen Mo, the Qingzhou area was basically under Chen Mo's control.

"My lord, I have finally failed my lord's trust and failed to invite Duke Cao back. Please punish me!" Wu Yi saluted Chen Mo.

"What's the crime?" Chen Mo forced a smile and came to Cao Cao's body. Looking at Cao Cao's body, Chen Mo sighed: "Brother Meng De, why is this between you and me?"

Feeling uncomfortable?

It's really uncomfortable. After all, he was a good friend in the past, but now he was killed by his own hands. To say that it's not uncomfortable would be a lie.

But Chen Mo had no regrets. If he let Cao Cao leave, given Cao Cao's ability, he would not be able to make a comeback. Since Cao Cao was unwilling to surrender, death would be the best outcome. Chen Mo would not do such a thing as letting the tiger return to the mountain.

After a moment of melancholy, Chen Mo ordered people to collect Cao Cao's body and prepare to send it back to Chen Liu for burial, which would also allow Cao Cao's soul to return to his hometown.

After arranging all this, Chen Mo just looked at Yu Jin and the three of them, and tried to comfort them. He only allowed them to temporarily serve as generals under his command, and helped him send Cao Cao's body back to his hometown for burial. The war was over, and it was time to recuperate. , this is not the time to employ people.

After arranging everything, Chen Mo let the generals leave and continued to recover cities in various places. Cao Cao was dead and Qingzhou was no longer hindered. The next step was to govern Qingzhou.

"Lord." After the generals left, Wu Yi came to Chen Mo, looked at Chen Mo and said: "During his lifetime, Mr. Cao had some last words that he would convey to the lord."

"What to say?" Chen Mo looked at Wu Yi and smiled.

"If the Sun family in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Jingxiang want to fight against the lord, they must go to Xichuan. Cao Gong said before his death that if the lord wants to pacify the world, he should first go to Xichuan. If Xichuan is settled, the world will be settled. If Xichuan is captured by any family of Sun and Liu, , the world will suffer from war," Wu Yi bowed.

Chen Mo nodded. If his guess was correct, Cao Cao's final goal was Xichuan, but now Cao Cao obviously couldn't go.

"I know." Chen Mo sat down, rubbed his temples a little tiredly and said, "Dalang, I feel uncomfortable."

Wu Yi nodded and said nothing. He didn't know how to comfort him.

After being silent for a while, Chen Mo rubbed his face and said, "When I go back this time, I need to rest for a few years. Look at my wife, my child. I am very tired from fighting in the world. I am tired."

"My lord, Duke Cao said that there is no retreat on your road. Did my lord know that Duke Cao would not come back?" Wu Yi asked curiously.

"Yes, there is no way out." Chen Mo nodded, looking at the darkening sky outside the door and said: "But sometimes, I always hope that he is not so determined. I know that this day will come, but I don't want this day. Come."

Wu Yi nodded and said nothing more.

"That's all, let's not talk about this." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "When I go back this time, I plan to promote you to the general of the Western Conquest. You should prepare yourself. You may be in charge of the conquest of Shu in the future. You should be more prepared. Send more people to Xichuan to collect information and draw maps. I also have some information here. You can go and see for yourself when the time comes. We will wipe out the world as soon as possible and end this damn war. "

"The last general..." Wu Yi frowned and said, "I'm afraid he won't be qualified. There are many people in the army who are stronger than the last general. Why don't my lord choose someone wiser?"

"It's easy to talk about other places, but in Shu, only you are suitable." Chen Mo stood up, patted Wu Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you feel you are not good enough, make more preparations. After this battle, it will take at least five years before we can fight again. Is your five years of preparation time enough?”

"I will try my best in the end!" Wu Yi bowed and said.

"If we can't do our best, Xichuan must be won. You have heard Meng De's words. I don't want this war to last too long. Within ten years, I want to pacify the world." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"Well, I will definitely live up to my lord's trust." Wu Yi bowed and said.

"Go and rest, there are still many things for us to do." Chen Mo patted Wu Yi on the shoulder and smiled.

"I will retire at the end!"

The last chapter has been changed. Sorry, I just felt a little reluctant to let Cao Cao die, which affected everyone's perception. It's Lao Wang's fault.
