"This is natural." Cao Cao sighed. "But if I leave, how long can you last?"

"Three or four days, right?" Liu Ye glanced at Cao Ren, who was silent, and answered sincerely. "In three or four days at most, Guandu won't be able to hold on anymore, and General Zixiao and I should go back to chase Duke Cao..."

"At that time, I would like to ask you to cut off the queen." Hearing this, Cao Cao also glanced at Cao Ren, and then said something quite unusual to Liu Ye. "Our Cao family and Xiahou family are almost one. Under the current situation, there is no way for Zixiao to break up."

The principle of surrender is that once you are trapped, there is only one way to die, but you can surrender with a single step. Because your Liu Yuzhou and Jiangnan two counties, maybe the four counties are enough to stand, you can still talk to Gongsun Wenqi

Words."

Liu Ziyang was silent for a moment, but in the end he nodded slightly and reluctantly agreed.

"My son is filial." Cao Cao stared at the silent Cao Ren again and spoke seriously. "Brother, I know that you have a gloomy mood in your heart. Even before the war, Gongsun Wenqi only thought of you as a horse. He felt grievances.

After Miaocai and Zihe left, you even wanted to risk your life and give Gongsun Wenqi a good look... But have you ever thought about it, since Zihe, Miaocai, and Zilian are all

Go, if you go again, it will be a temporary pleasure, but how should I deal with myself? The dead are gone, what will happen to the living? I agree to be my brother, and I must keep myself useful unless I have to!"

Cao Ren was finally moved, and then his eyes turned red, but he gritted his teeth and nodded as a promise.

"I will leave at the second watch tonight. After I leave, you have people come to pick up Zi Lian's and his family's heads and send them to Pei State for burial... People will send some lime to you. Don't disturb me until now." Seeing Cao Ren nod,

Cao Cao, relieved in his heart, waved again, but was completely speechless.

Cao Ren and Liu Ye knew that Cao Cao wanted to personally clean up the faces of Cao Hong, Yue Jin, Sun Ce and others and then preserve them with lime, so they had nothing to say and could only say goodbye.

In this way, until the second watch of the evening, Cao Cao, who knew that there was no hope for this battle, or that the ownership of the Central Plains had been decided, watched as only a few personal guards escorted the heads of Cao Hong and others to the southeast for burial in Pei State, and then just

He led three to four thousand old and disabled soldiers out of the camp and headed to Yingchuan and Nanyang in the southwest.

However, he had only been out of the camp for three or four miles, and Cao Ren, who was seeing him off, had just turned around. Behind him, the Guandu camp suddenly became noisy and the sky was bright with fire!

It was only the second watch, and such a large-scale night attack had already been launched. It was obvious that Gongsun had calculated that Cao Cao was losing his ambition, so he sent troops to seize the camp at night without stopping!

Cao Mengde looked back at the fire behind him and was speechless for a moment. Just when he was about to give the order to turn around and rescue him, he suddenly froze on his horse and couldn't make a sound for a moment... It turned out that as the fire started to grow in the north, Cao Cao suddenly recognized it.

, a white-haired old soldier with a frightened look on his side looked very similar to the farmer who was carrying water for his grandson that day. He didn't know if he was the same person.

Counting it all together, it's been about twenty days, right?

After a while, Cao Cao sighed, turned around and rode south, never looking back.

I am the dividing line that never looks back

"...Sima Yifang was weak and sent Cao Ying back to pay a visit to Taizu. He said that Cao Cao had lost his ambition and the soldiers were timid, so he could attack at night. Everyone was suspicious. Taizu also hesitated: 'How do you know?

'Yi said to him: 'Your Highness Ren Nian, two days and nights, he returned to the head of the enemy's general with seven flags. When I heard about it, I heard that six figures earlier, Cao Cao all received their heads and mourned, without asking about the envoy. Now I will go there,

Cao Cao did not look at his head, but he asked about his origins and how he came to be an official. It was clear that he was exhausted mentally and physically! Taizu accepted it with a smile, and promoted Yi to the rank of Qujunhou. He then sent troops to attack Cao's camp at night without stopping."
