The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 145 A hero is a hero, you can afford it and let it go
Under the city of Chenliu, the sun is in the sky.

In front of the empty city gate, two horses carrying two people drew out two short shadows and gradually approached.

Cheng Yuanzhi and Cao Cao looked at each other, silent for a while.

The former stretched out his hands and arched his hands, his half-closed eyes shot sharp gazes, fixedly staring at the latter.

Cheng Yuanzhi admired Cao Cao very much. He was originally a rich second-generation man. When the Han Empire was in chaos, he chose to be a violent and capable official, facing the darkness and trying to wake up the sleeping empire; Command the soldiers and turn the tide.

This courage alone is worthy of admiration.

Although in this process, Cao Cao used many disgraceful methods.But still a hero.

After looking at each other for a while, Cao Cao said in a deep voice:
"During the two expeditions to Xuzhou, if I hadn't ordered the massacre of the city, but only held Tao Qian accountable, would the result have been different?"

"Don't you have no excuse to gather so many princes to attack me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi thought for a while: "Even without help, if I want to attack someone, I am strong enough to destroy him."

"After all, I have so many soldiers."

Cao Cao said bitterly: "You..."

"You won Shangdang and Hanoi without a single soldier!"

"You took over Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and my Yanzhou without any effort!"

"You won half of the world without any twists and turns!"

"I'm not reconciled..."

Cao Cao sighed a long time, looked up at the sky, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Sometimes people really can't compare.

He thinks that his family background is good enough, but compared with a few people surnamed Yuan...

I can't do it at all!
Looking at the beginnings of the three surnames Yuan, one occupies Nanyang, one occupies Hanoi, and the other occupies Bohai Sea. Not to mention all rich lands, there are no strong enemies around, and there is huge room for development.

Thinking of Cao Cao, who has a complete set of literary and military strategies, he can only come to Yanzhou, a volcanic land, where six or seven ruthless people gather in this fart big place, and there are millions of yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou nearby.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt aggrieved!

At this moment, he extremely regretted his decision to kill Bian first and then massacre Xuzhou.

If not, his old father would not be killed by Tao Qian's revenge, Yanzhou would not be rebellious, and Lu Bu would not have an opportunity to take advantage of!
"Yuan She" has no excuse to beat him!
Even if "Yuan She" still wanted to beat him, it was impossible to summon so many princes from the Six Routes.

If we just attack all the way, no matter who the opponent is, Cao Cao feels that he can still fight with the whole territory of Yanzhou!

Unfortunately, no if.

Cao Cao looked at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees with memories in his eyes: "In the past, I was an official in the same court as your foster father, and we always treated each other as uncles. I think it has been 20 years."

"I also raised the flag of righteousness with you to defeat Dong Zhuo. This scene still happened yesterday. I don't think it has been four or five years now. It's funny to say, I don't know how old you are yet."

"Thirty to three." Cheng Yuanzhi replied.

Cao Cao sighed: "I still remember the first time you and I met in the capital. We were both young and high-spirited. I never thought that today I would be in my forties!"

"In my forties, I will still have to suffer such a catastrophe."

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded slightly: "In 188, it was a winter, you came to Luoyang from Chenliu, the back garden of my house..."

Seeing Cao Cao suddenly mentioning the past and playing the emotional card, Cheng Yuanzhi curled his lips and said in his heart: Let your words break the sky, today your life will be decided by me.

The two talked for more than half an hour, but they still didn't get to the point. Cheng Yuanzhi sat on the horse and chatted patiently with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao suddenly said: "Ten years ago, I met you once. In the land of Hebei, outside the city of Youzhou, there were yellow scarves all over the field. When thousands of people looked back, the yellow scarves were hunting and dusting the sky."

Could it be that you have found out my details... Cheng Yuanzhi was surprised: "Oh? Where were you at that time?"

Why didn't I see you?

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "At that time, I was hiding in the green grass and green forest."

"How was it then?"

"Just like this moment!"

Is this cheating on me?Cheng Yuanzhi was suspicious and remained silent.

It seems that Cao Cao should have guessed his identity.

Anyway, there are quite a lot of people who know about it, so why not have one more?

The two tacitly discussed this topic.

Cao Cao said with a sigh: "From the first time we met, I felt that you were full of hostility and guard against me and Benchu, and full of contempt and disdain for He Jin, who was the general at the time."

"I don't know why?"

Cheng Yuanzhi spread his hands: "Your current ending just explains everything."

After a while of silence, Cao Cao asked again: "Are you sending troops to Yanzhou this time to annex my territory, or to kill me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi's tone was as usual: "I will annex your territory first, and then kill you."

Cao Cao said angrily, "Then why did you persuade me to settle down in Yanzhou? Why didn't you kill him on the spot in Hanoi!"

At that time, killing you would not be justified, and it would be suspected of backstabbing an ally... which would be very detrimental to your reputation.

What the wise don't do!
Cheng Yuanzhi asked without answering: "Meng De, do you think Yanzhou is important to me, or you are important to me?"

Cao Cao said without thinking: "Me!"

Because he knew that the main reason for Cheng Yuanzhi to do all this was not for the territory, otherwise he didn't need to give Yanzhou to others.

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head: "No."

Cao Cao was taken aback: "Could it be a territory?"

When he heard "wrong", Cao Cao suddenly had a doubt in his heart.

Could it be that the purpose of Cheng Yuanzhi's painstaking efforts to do these things is just to expand the territory: to dominate the world?
Why bother?Wouldn't it be over if you just bring up troops to fight him?You still need to call so many people, and you have to distribute the territory to other people afterwards.

Why bother?
Cheng Yuanzhi continued to shake his head: "Meng De, think again."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I am the most important!"

In Cao Cao's world, there can only be two answers, yes or no, just like a silver coin, either heads or tails.

Apart from these two possibilities, he couldn't imagine any other answer.

Cheng Yuanzhi mobilized his troops and mobilized his troops to tear him down from the overlord position in Yanzhou for nothing more than two purposes: either to enter the Central Plains for the Yanzhou territory; or to enter the Central Plains to kill Cao Cao.

There will be no third possibility.

In Cao Cao's thinking, there are only two situations in which the princes of the world fight against each other, success or defeat, enslavement or enslavement, oppression or oppression.

He could not imagine a third possibility.

Because in known history, in countless dynasties in the past, wars, rebellions, separatism, and other behaviors that were willing to sacrifice life and blood were all for profit and power.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked straight at Cao Cao: "You and the territory are not important to me."

Cao Cao was a little confused: "Then what is the most important?"

Cheng Yuanzhi paused word by word, "It's very important to me without you."

"This is the ultimate goal!"

"Calling the princes of the six routes to attack is not for the territory, nor is it to replace you Cao Cao as the master of Yanzhou, march into the Central Plains, and coerce the world."

"I am letting this world never have you Cao Cao again."

To be precise, Cheng Yuanzhi wants to reduce the number of deaths in this world and complete the unification as soon as possible, so as not to repeat the same mistakes of the past 300 years.

Cao Cao's movements are too slow!

But these reasons cannot be told to anyone.

Because of this, Cheng Yuanzhi must be intoxicated by everyone, lonely and incomprehensible.

The words said today cannot be known by a third person.

So Cao Cao must die now.

No matter how capable he is!
Cheng Yuanzhi slowly handed over the long sword at his waist, and said warmly: "Meng De, use this sword, this sword is sharp, cuts iron like mud, and is painless!"

Cao Cao glared at him angrily, and raised his own sword, "No, I have it!"

The long sword was slowly resting on his neck, Cao Cao paused, and asked, "Will you treat my family well?"

Cheng Yuanzhi replied firmly: "Yes!"

Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at the frightened relatives and generals at the gate of Chenliu City.

They are rushing here desperately at the moment.

Cao Cao waved to them...

After a while, a cold light flashed.

A generation of heroes fell to the sky, causing dust to rise.

The sky is high and the sun is high, and there is silence all around.

Xiahou Dun and others ran over on foot, gathered around Cao Cao's corpse, and asked Cheng Yuanzhi angrily:

"Why did my elder brother die? What did you talk about?"

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at Sugei, Zhao Yun and others who were already approaching, felt relieved and said slowly:
"I just talked about some old things in the capital."

"Then why did my eldest brother ask for death?"

With 20 troops besieging the city, he can't live without begging for death...

Cheng Yuanzhi said lightly: "I don't know, Cao Cao only entrusted you to me and asked me to treat your family well."

"I said yes to him, and then he wiped his neck."

"Then will you keep your promise?"

"meeting!"

After hearing this, all the generals of the Cao clan who surrounded Cao Cao's body breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Ren lowered his head and said in a mournful voice, "I will surrender!"

　Thanks to pary for the reward, bow 180 degrees!
