Cao Cao smiled bitterly, making a comeback, easy to say.That was the family property he had built up after years of hard work, and now it was almost destroyed.
Thinking of this now, he still felt tight in his chest, especially heartbroken.
"Lost Heshan here, fortunately there is Wen Ruo guarding Changyi, otherwise we would really be homeless in Yanzhou." Cao Cao said to himself, as if to comfort himself.
"My lord, Changyi has also fallen."
Dian Wei is an honest man and does not want to deceive Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who was comforting himself, froze for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly, he glanced at Dian Wei, and said in a dull voice, "Don't talk nonsense, Changyi has Wenruo guarding it, how could it fall?"
"According to Mr. Xun Lingjun, the enemy general used a new type of trebuchet, which sounded like a thunderbolt, and was astonishingly powerful. Within half a day after the rounds of bombing, the guards of the city tower were torn apart, and the city was soon overrun by the enemy." Dian Wei When he described the scene of the siege, he spoke clearly, as if he was there at the time.
cough cough~~
Covering his chest and coughing twice, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Where is Wen Ruo now?"
"It's in our camp."
Dian Wei truthfully reported that when Hua Xiong fled the battlefield in the afternoon, Hua Xiong led his men to chase after him. Fortunately, Xun Yu arrived in time at the critical moment, and Hua Xiong was frightened away by a trick of suspicion.
Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.
After knowing the whole story, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but told Dian Wei: "Go and tell Wen Ruo and Miao Cai to come and see me in the tent."
Dian Wei took the order and left.
Not long after, the generals of Cao Ying, Xun Yu, Xun You and others entered the tent.Most of the generals were wounded and limped when they walked.
"My lord, Xun Yu is incompetent and failed to hold the last position for the lord. Please punish me." Xun Yu took the initiative to step forward to plead guilty.
If it hadn't been for Gao Shun to create an astonishingly powerful thunderbolt car, Changyi would not have fallen.In the face of the sudden emergence of black technology, the fortifications in the city are all in vain.
Seeing his uncle voluntarily admitting his mistake, Xun You, the mastermind, also cupped his hands and said, "You are also guilty, and mistakenly underestimated the patience of Lu Bu's army. If he had not rushed to the battlefield at that time, but had attacked Lu Bu's Heze camp first. Perhaps, It’s going to be a different story.”
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
The generals lowered their heads, apparently feeling ashamed of what the lord had entrusted them with.
On the contrary, Cao Cao was more relieved. Even though he was aggrieved and unwilling, as the lord, he should make the soldiers feel at ease at this time, not feel guilty.
Then he waved his hands, and said broadly, "Okay, it's done. It's all over, and you have done your best. It's not your fault that God didn't favor me, Cao Cao."
Hearing that the lord did not blame him, but comforted them with good words, the eyes of all the generals in the tent turned red instantly, their eyes were full of gratitude, and they secretly swore in their hearts that they would follow and be loyal to the lord for the rest of their lives, and never leave.
But at this moment, a soldier forced his way into the tent, and without waiting for everyone to reprimand him, he first cried out in tears: "My lord, my lord... he is about to lose his hold."
Cao Cao's heart was shaken, he didn't care about the pain on his body, he put on the shoes that were placed on the side, and ran directly to the tent where Cao Ang was.
When they came to the tent, Cao Ang, who was lying on a stretcher, was dying.
He was sent back to Heshan from the battlefield, and then fled from Heshan to Zhongling. The bumpy journey made Cao Ang's injuries worse.
"Ang'er, Anger..."
Kneeling in front of the stretcher, Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he patted his son's shoulder lightly, calling eagerly in a low voice.
This is his favorite son and the eldest son of the Cao family.
Seemingly hearing his father's voice, Cao Ang slowly opened his eyes from the long darkness.Looking at his father lying in front of him and the anxious face, Cao Ang felt deeply sorry, his lips and teeth opened and closed, even though he tried hard to make his voice louder, his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Father, I'm sorry ...It's useless for a child..."
"Ang'er, don't say that, you have done well enough. From the day you entered the barracks, you have always been proud of your father!"
Cao Cao's eyes were red, and there was a little choking in his voice.
"Then... did we win?"
Cao Ang squirmed his lips, his eyes were full of hope, and he looked straight at his father in front of him.
"Win, of course I won."
Cao Cao froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Lv Bu was killed by his father, so we won a big victory. It's also thanks to your persistence for so long before, so we were able to win so easily. When you recover, we will be able to win so easily. Time, my father sent you to be the vanguard! Let's push Lu Bu and his remnants back to Guanzhong!"
"But why do Master Xun, uncles, and generals all have drooping faces?" Cao Ang glanced at Xun You and others who entered the account later, and Cao Ang swallowed hard, asking about his father.
Cao Cao turned his head and gave everyone a look.Therefore, Xun You, Xia Houyuan and others in the tent forced themselves to laugh.
Smiling and laughing, they all lowered their heads again, wiping their tears secretly.
Cao Ang's face gradually turned pale, and at the last moment of his life, he reached out and grabbed his father's arms tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said with regret: "Father, the child can no longer... I can no longer follow my father to fight for thieves...for the rest of my life, please father more...a lot...safety..."
The arm hangs down, and the intermittent voice stops abruptly.
Cao Cao grabbed his son's palm, looked eagerly and raised his voice: "Ang'er, Anger!"
No matter how much he shouted, there was still no answer.
"Come here, both of you, what's wrong with my Ang'er!" Cao Cao looked at the two medical officers in the tent, as if putting all his hopes on them.
Two doctors came over one after another to feel the pulse, then probed the nostrils, and finally shook their heads helplessly: "My condolences to Mr. Cao, the eldest son has already gone."
Before that, the two of them had already made a diagnosis for Cao Ang. The sternum and ribs were all broken. If he hadn't been protected by armor, he might have died on the spot.Later, he suffered a lot of bumps on the way to escape, resulting in serious heart and lung injuries.Even if the Immortal Da Luo came to the world, I am afraid that he would not be able to save his life. "
My son... is dead!
The news hit Cao Cao's heart like a thunderbolt.
Unable to accept this fact, Cao Cao drew out the sword from his waist on the spot, pointed at the two medical officers, and his expression became a little crazy: "I don't care what bullshit masters are. If you can't save Ang'er today, I will kill you with one sword." Go and bury my son!"
"Mr. Cao, even if you kill us, you won't be able to save the eldest son!" The two medical officers felt extremely aggrieved.
call!
The blade pierced through the air, beheading the head of the medical officer who was in the lead.
Seeing that Cao Cao was really killing people, the other surviving medical officer looked terrified and fled out of the tent without caring about anything else.
"My lord..."
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xun Yu and others were also extremely heartbroken, and wanted to come over to persuade them.
But at this time, Cao Cao had lost his mind, pointed his sword at them, and cursed angrily: "Get out, get out!"
The general died in battle, the war failed, Changyi fell, and his son passed away...
In just half a day, a series of blows finally defeated Cao Cao's psychological defense.At this moment, all negative emotions erupted like a torrent, ravaging every nerve in the body.
Unable to bear it, Cao Cao completely collapsed. He stared blankly at Cao Ang who was lying on the stretcher, and walked slowly over in a daze.
