    (ps: I could have gone home the day before yesterday and resumed normal updates yesterday, but friends should also have noticed that on the 15th and 16th, there was heavy snow in the southwest. It has not snowed here in the Pure Wolf family for at least ten years.  It¡¯s snowing, but it¡¯s rare to go out once, so Pure Wolf encounters heavy snow and road closures, unable to go home¡­¡­¡­¡­.)

    Boss Cao and Uncle Liu were afraid of Deputy Director Tao's Western Expedition, so they beat them up and killed them. However, they did not know that there was a fierce debate within the Xuzhou Army and the Xuchang court controlled by the Xuzhou Army over whether to launch a Western Expedition, and huge differences arose.  Among them, the voices opposing the launch of the Western Expedition were surprisingly much louder than the voices supporting the Western Expedition.

    There are two reasons why there are more voices of opposition than those of support. First, the Xuzhou Army was not fully prepared for the Western Expedition. During the Jingzhou War, although the Xuzhou Army did seize a lot of money and grain for military use, and the Xuchang farmland also achieved a bumper harvest later,  At the same time, the five counties of Xuzhou and the Jizhou Granary also achieved good harvests. However, if the Xuzhou Army launches a large-scale war on the western front, logistics support will still be a huge problem.

    The most logistical problem that troubles the Xuzhou Army is the massive consumption of food and supplies on the way to the front. As everyone knows about the situation of the Yellow River, the lower reaches of the river are wide and shallow, carrying serious sand, and the water volume is seriously affected by the seasons, so it is not very suitable.  Vessel navigation.  If it were in peacetime, if the central government had strong control over the river, with strong dams and stable river channels, it would not be a bad idea to use the Yellow River waterway to transport large quantities of grain. However, the problem is that the wars in the Central Plains have been serious in recent years, and warlords, big and small, only care about saping and stealing, and no one has the intention to govern.  The water conservancy situation of the Yellow River and the Yellow River is naturally extremely bad.  The dam was seriously damaged and the river was overflowing. Deputy Director Tao sent people to conduct repeated surveys and found that the grain ships could only transport grain to Kaifeng and Mengjin, and further west they could only transport it by land. If the Xuzhou Army wanted to attack  Chang'an and Hanzhong had to pay a huge price for land transportation of thousands of miles!

    In this era of transportation that relies entirely on human and animal power, the horror of transporting grain by land is beyond the imagination of modern people. There are detailed records in historical records.  During the reign of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian fought against the Xiongnu.  When transporting grain from the Central Plains to the northwest, every time a cart of grain is transported to the front line, one hundred and ninety-two carts of grain are consumed on the way!  The Xuzhou Army's transportation of grain from Xuchang to the Western Front was calculated and analyzed by a group of internal affairs experts such as Yi and Liu Ye.  Transport grain from Xuchang to Chang'an.  The most conservative estimate.  For every one load of grain transported, more than twenty-two loads of dendrobium must be consumed on the way!  Such a huge consumption was for the Xuzhou army, which had already depleted its inventory in the Jiyou Battle.  Definitely an unbearable burden.

    Considering this reason and the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, there is almost no harvest west of Tongguan. Even if the Xuzhou Army invades Guanzhong, it will not be able to replenish food and grass on the spot. Therefore, even many Xuzhou Army civil and military personnel who are loyal to Deputy Director Tao,  They also persuaded Deputy Director Tao to carefully consider the Western Expedition, and then cultivate and cultivate for a few years before considering the Western Expedition.  Even Yang Changshi and his son, who clung to Deputy Director Tao's thighs, had this attitude. Yang Changshi felt that the western expedition to Guanzhong was unprofitable, while Yang Zheng, the new representative of the Xuzhou Army, wanted to leave Deputy Director Tao with a mature and steady reputation.  Impression, so both father and son persuaded Deputy Director Tao to be cautious in using troops. Yang Changshi also suggested that if troops must be used, then they should attack Xichuan first, and first capture the land of abundance in Sichuan, and then ease the hunger in Guanzhong.

    Many Xuzhou civil and military officials opposed the Western Expedition out of loyalty to Deputy Director Tao. Another group of people opposed the Western Expedition purely to disgust Deputy Director Tao. The Han Dynasty civil and military officials headed by Fu Wan jumped out one after another.  The purpose of opposing the Western Expedition was for no other reason than to give Deputy Director Tao's enemies a chance to breathe, to prevent Deputy Director Tao from being too tyrannical internally in the face of foreign aggression, and to buy time and opportunity for Emperor Xian of Han to regain the power of the world.  .  At the same time, these people's excuses were very nice. Why did Cao Lao and Uncle Liu pay no shortage of tributes? He had already surrendered to the imperial court and sent troops to conquer the country. Why did they frequently go to war, waste the people and money, and bring trouble to themselves? They all tried their best to persuade Deputy Director Tao to stop the war temporarily.  Zheng, adopted a soft and appeasement policy towards Boss Cao, Uncle Liu Huang and others.

    After finding out what these people were planning, Deputy Director Tao, who was good at power struggles, could guess their true evil intentions even if he calculated with his buttocks. However, Deputy Director Tao, who had been severely brainwashed by modern education, thought their words were not true.  It makes no sense. I feel that I have been having wars every year over the years. The people under my rule are indeed overwhelmed. The economy and people's livelihood have been greatly affected by the war. It is time for the people to breathe a few breaths. At the same time, I also take into account that my western expedition is in grain and grass.  It was difficult to last long, and even if they invaded Guanzhong, they would not be able to save the people in Guanzhong who were plagued by famine. Therefore, Deputy Director Tao was inevitably a little hesitant and could not make up his mind to launch a large-scale western expedition in the eleventh year of Jian'an.

    In addition, there is another reason that also affects Deputy Director Tao's attitude on whether to launch the Western Expedition, and that is Boss Cao's illness. Deputy Director Tao judged from the internal reports of the Xuzhou Army who brought their own dry food that he was in the army in the second year of Jian'an.  The evil seeds planted in Qiao County finally returned?The ideal fruit has been produced - Boss Cao has been infected with tuberculosis by Guo Jia!  Tuberculosis is an incurable disease in this era. Cao Lao's normal life span will definitely be greatly shortened. As long as Cao Lao dies, Cao's army will inevitably be in internal chaos. Cao Lao's eldest son Cao Ang is the largest pro-Tao faction in Cao's army. By then the Xuzhou Army  The hope of winning the entire Guanzhong at a very small cost must be great!  Therefore, Deputy Director Tao inevitably had the idea of ????using time to kill Boss Cao, and then easily captured Guanzhong and swallowed up the remaining members of Cao's army, including their skin and bones!

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Deputy Director Tao had several reliable strategic experts around him, the Xuzhou Army¡¯s western expedition might have been aborted.  What surprised Deputy Director Tao was that Jia Laohu, Shi Yi, Chen Deng and Lu Su, who usually had the most stable personalities, all unanimously and firmly supported Deputy Director Tao in launching the Western Expedition. Lu Su, who was in charge of the southern front, also wrote a letter.  Said that as long as Deputy Director Tao makes up his mind to march westward, Lu Su will suspend the war to wipe out the remaining forces in Jiangdong, use the money and food from Lianghuai, Guangling and Jiangdong to support Deputy Director Tao in launching the western expedition, and once again challenge the main counterattack  Blood transfusion.

    In addition to these four lackeys, there is also Yilang Huaxin, who has recently entered the court as an official and has little experience in the Xuzhou army.  Surprisingly, he stood out and firmly supported Deputy Director Tao in launching the Western Expedition. He also had a fierce debate with Fu Wan and other royalists in the court, refuting the royalists' reasons for opposing the war one by one.  The royalists said that Cao Lao and Liu Huangshu obeyed the imperial court, never lacked tribute, and had no trace of rebellion. Hua Xin immediately retorted that Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo did not dare to pay any less tribute to the imperial court before they rebelled. The so-called tribute of Cao Lao and Liu Huangshu was nothing more.  She was just a bitch and built a memorial arch. She also dug up the old accounts of Boss Cao who kidnapped the Emperor and Uncle Liu Huang and kidnapped Runan, and pointed out that Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huang had never been punished for their crimes.  If you give up investigating Cao Liu's previous crimes because of a worthless tribute.  From now on, the emperor will lose his face, the imperial court will not be able to maintain discipline, and the rebels and rebels all over the world will regard Uncle Liu Huang and Boss Cao as their role models, and will refute the royalists until they are speechless.

    Is the excuse for sending troops justified?  Deputy Director Tao doesn't care about this.  In the view of Deputy Director Tao, Hua Xin's rebuttal was nothing more than rhetoric.  But when Hua Xin refuted the fallacy of the royalists sending troops to conquer the West, Hua Xin's words greatly moved Deputy Director Tao.  Hua Xin pointed out that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.  The country of Han Dynasty has been tormented by war for twenty-one years. All lives have been devastated, people have been displaced, and tens of millions of people have died. It is the time when people's minds are at peace and the world is looking forward to reunification. Under such circumstances, if the Xuzhou Army does not seize  Taking the opportunity to wipe out the remnants of Cao and Liu would be a crime against the people of the imperial court. Instead of cultivating the remnants and giving the rebels of Cao and Liu a chance to breathe, causing greater war in the future and allowing the soldiers and civilians to endure the harm of war for a longer period of time, it would be better to  It is better to dig out the rotten flesh now and endure the pain to cut away the root of the disease. Then the people of the world can achieve real and long-lasting peace and never suffer from war again!

    After hearing Hua Xin's words, although the matter of the Western Expedition was not finalized in the court that day, that night, Deputy Director Tao summoned Jia Lao and Shiyi at his home and asked them privately about Hua Xin's plans.  attitude of speech.  As a result, Mr. Jia also pointed out to Deputy Director Tao straight to the point that although Hua Xin's words were indeed seeking credit and flattery and catering to Deputy Director Tao's Western expedition, his opinions pointed out the crux of the problem. The current goal was to eradicate Cao Liu in one fell swoop.  If the best opportunity for the alliance is missed, giving the peerless heroes Cao Boss and Liu Huangshu a chance to breathe, then the Xuzhou army will have to pay a greater price if they want to eradicate the Cao Liu Alliance in the future!

    After listening to Jia Laodu's words, Deputy Director Tao, who had always been worried about logistics issues, still hesitated. The most stable among the Xuzhou Army decision-makers, Shi Yi, suddenly stood up, left the table and bowed to Deputy Director Tao, and said seriously:  "My lord, I know that you are worried about the lack of food and grass, but please rest assured, my lord, Yi will stay in Xuchang to prepare food and grass. Even if he sells iron and breaks houses to take eaves, he will do his best to supply the front line with enough food and grass! Liu Bei is currently in Hanzhong.  Before it was stable, people's hearts were not attached, and Ma Teng turned against Liu Zhang. Cao Cao suffered from drought in Guanzhong, hunger and war, natural disasters and people were trapped, and the country was on the verge of collapse. It was just the time to defeat the two thieves in one fell swoop. Such an opportunity was rare in a thousand years, my lord.  If you sit back and miss out because you are worried about running out of food and grass, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

    "Although Mr. Ziyu's words are reasonable." Deputy Director Tao still hesitated and said hesitantly: "But Guanzhong is a long way away, hunger is serious, and our army's food and grass are not very sufficient. If the food and grass are really not available  "

    "If the food supply is really no longer available, then my lord can also choose to withdraw the troops!" Yi Yi's words were surprising, and then Yi Yi asked with a smile: "I dare to ask my lord, the current situation is that our army cannot withstand the disaster of war, or Cao Cao  Can Liu Bei withstand the disaster of war? Our army already controls the territory of Kyushu, and the number of men wearing armor has already exceeded 600,000. In the Western Expedition, is it our army that cannot afford to lose, or Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"

      With a few words to wake up the dreamer, Deputy Director Tao, who had been brainwashed by modern education, suddenly remembered that he was launching the Western Expedition now. In fact, he could no longer lose no matter how hard he fought, because his overall strength had already exceeded  The combined strength of the Cao-Liu Alliance is more than ten times greater. During the Western Expedition, he could suffer defeats due to various reasons, he could suffer several defeats, and he could even be forced to retreat because he ran out of food and grass, but he only needed to win one battle!  His own foundation can withstand the tossing, but Boss Cao and Uncle Liu cannot withstand the tossing. Even if his western expedition is ultimately unsuccessful, it will drain the strength of Boss Cao and Uncle Liu, leaving them unable to peek into the Yizhou Empire.  Earth will never have a chance to make a comeback!

    After figuring this out, Deputy Director Tao immediately put aside any humanitarian and universal values ??and said on the spot: "What Mr. Ziyu said is absolutely true. This Western Expedition must be fought, even if it is not necessary.  We must fight to ensure victory! We have decided to send 200,000 troops to attack Cao Cao¡¯s big-eared bandits in the west!"

    After making up this determination, in the morning meeting the next day, Deputy Director Tao immediately used the rebellion of Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huang as an excuse to force Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue an edict for the Western Expedition. When Fu Wan just jumped out to object, Deputy Director Tao winked.  After going out, Cao Hong, the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, immediately led dozens of guards to capture Fu Wan.  Then Deputy Director Tao used Fu Wan to communicate with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.  In the presence of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he ordered the entire Fu family to be imprisoned, and promoted Lang Huaxin to the rank of Tingwei, presiding over the interrogation of Fu Wan's case.  The whole court was horrified for a moment, but they did not dare to resist Deputy Director Tao's power.  Even Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not dare to intercede for Fu Wan.  He could only obediently approve Deputy Director Tao's Western Expedition Memorial.

    Hua Xin is worthy of being the master of the old Liu family.  On the day he captured Fu Wan, Hua Xin searched the wall of Fu Wan's study and found a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as well as letters secretly communicating between Fu Wan and his daughter, Queen Fu.  The letter also contained references to colluding with Uncle Liu and Mr. Cao to conspire with Deputy Director Tao for foreign affairs. There were also letters exchanged with several royalist officials. As a result, Hua Xin, who was an honest official, handed over gold, silver, jewelry and letters to Tao.  In front of the Deputy Director, Deputy Director Tao immediately had an excuse to inaugurate a large prison. He immediately captured the families of several royalist officials who had colluded with Fu Wan, and mercilessly ordered Cao Hong to hang his coveted Queen Fu, forcing him to  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty made a concubine without parents or family as his queen.  Fu Wan, Wei Huang, Huang Kui and other royalist officials whose evidence was obtained were also ordered by Deputy Director Tao to immediately kill their entire families, in order to deal a heavy blow to the royalists and prevent internal troubles before the Western Expedition.

    After taking the first step to eliminate internal hidden dangers, in mid-June, Deputy Director Tao finally announced his plan for the Western Expedition. He decided to personally lead an army of 150,000 troops from Xuchang, with Zhao Yun as the vanguard to attack Hangu Pass via Luoyang.  Zang Ba, the most senior general of the Xuzhou Army, led 50,000 troops from Jizhou and attacked Jiguan via Hanoi. The troops were divided into two groups and combined an army of 200,000 to attack Mr. Cao. They first took away Mr. Cao's last money and food supplies from Hongnong County and Hongnong County.  Hanoi County, and then Tongguan and Chang'an.  Those left behind in Xuchang were still the absolutely reliable Tao Ji, Cao Hong and Shi Yi. Deputy Director Tao handed over the responsibility of escorting grain and grass to the brave and resourceful general Chen Dao, asking Chen Dao to be wary of Boss Cao sending a small number of elite troops along the Yellow River.  They flowed down the river and attacked Xuzhou's army's food road.

    The time for the departure of the swearing-in was set by Deputy Director Tao on June 22, an auspicious day. When the Xuzhou soldiers took the time to say goodbye to their relatives, Deputy Director Tao, who had spent less time with his family and spent more time away from them, also gathered a group of his wives at home.  The children said goodbye one by one. As a result, most of the wives and children were present and took the time to talk about family happiness with Deputy Director Tao. Deputy Director Tao's two concubines, Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan, were not present, and Deputy Director Tao did not care.  After exchanging instructions with the wives and children, they went to Cao Qing's room at night and met Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan who were crying in the room.

    When they met, the cousins ??Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan knelt down in front of Deputy Director Tao, crying like rain but saying nothing. Deputy Director Tao knew their feelings, so he picked them up one by one and brought the sisters together.  Holding each other in his arms, he sighed: "Qing'er, Juan'er, don't blame me. This is life. If I don't kill your relatives, they will come to kill me. This is a life-and-death relationship. I can't give in. You want to  Learn from your sister Fang'er and be my good wife."

    Hearing this, Xiahou Juan, whose uncle Xia Houyuan had been killed in battle, was feeling better, but Cao Qing burst into tears. After a long while, he sobbed and said: "Husband, I know your difficulties, and I dare not beg you to take back your life.  I only ask you one thing, if you catch my father, please leave him alive and don¡¯t kill him.¡±

    "I promise you." Deputy Director Tao said solemnly: "As long as your father is willing to surrender and your family is willing to surrender, I guarantee that I will not touch a hair of them, including your younger brother Cao Zhi, who has always looked down upon me.  I will kill him, give him an official salary, and give him food and clothing. Even if they are caught by me on the battlefield, as long as they are still breathing, I will let the medical officers do their best to treat them and give them a way to survive.  "

    ¡°??  Cao Qing raised his tearful face and asked with some worry and choked up: "But my father was in Xuzhou back then"  "

    "It doesn't matter, it's been more than ten years. I don't care anymore. You don't have to worry about me holding a grudge." Deputy Director Tao shook his head, wiped Cao Qing's tears with his own hands, and said, "Now you have to do two things  First thing, write a letter to your father and tell him my attitude. Advise him to surrender. If he can put down his arms and surrender, I guarantee that he will be among the three princes in the future."

    "I'll write it right away." Cao Qing agreed quickly, and then asked: "Husband, what about the second thing?"

    "The second thing" Deputy Director Tao showed an obscene smile that was common at home, and while skillfully inserting his claws into Cao Qingyi, he said with an obscene smile: "The second thing, of course, is to seize the time and bring the  Take your cousin and serve me as your good husband well. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know when the next time I want to serve your good husband will be."

    Cao Qing blushed and spat, then straightened up her chest obediently, letting Deputy Director Tao caress and play with her tender body.  At the same time, he joined forces with Xia Houjuan, whose face became even redder.  Little by little, I took off Deputy Director Tao's clothes

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Deputy Director Tao took the time to ravage the enemy¡¯s beautiful daughter.  The news that Deputy Director Tao decided to launch the Western Expedition was also sent to Chang'an City through various overt and covert channels, and was delivered to Boss Cao who was suffering from illness.  Although Cao Jun's careful work has not yet collected information on the troop strength and other details of Deputy Director Tao's preparations for this western expedition.  But Boss Cao, who is already declining, still understands that his death is coming, and the storm caused by his unfilial son-in-law is about to fall on him.

    The expected doomsday finally came. Boss Cao, who had worked hard for his army in the past few years and his hair turned gray, completely calmed down. He did not summon a group of counselors to discuss countermeasures. He coughed in pain and finalized a plan to face the enemy.  , wrote three orders in his own handwriting. The first was to order Wei Zhong, the defender of Luoyang, to abandon the land and city west of Hangu Pass, transfer all troops and grain back to Hangu Pass; the second was to write to Liu Huangshu to report the enemy's situation, asking Liu Huangshu to immediately deliver the goods and agree.  The aid provided 200,000 hu of military grain; the third was to mobilize the armies of Guanzhong, Hongnong and Hanoi to prepare an army of about 35,000, which he would personally command to fight the Xuzhou Army at Hangu Pass and Jiguan.

    It was not until Boss Cao's order was promulgated and implemented that Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others learned about Boss Cao's strategy to defend against the enemy. Surprised, counselors such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu hurriedly came to Boss Cao together and told Cao Boss.  The boss raised two objections, "My lord, is this too risky? Your condition is so serious, how can you still personally lead troops to defend against the enemy?"

    "Also, are our enemy forces too weak? The Wei Zhong troops that retreated from Luoyang only have about 5,000 people. If we gather another 35,000 troops, the total number will only be 40,000.  , is it too strenuous to defend the two strategic locations of Hangu Pass and Jiguan at the same time? Although the Tao Ying traitor is not a militaristic person, and the number of troops dispatched will never exceed 200,000, but our army is not the same as in Guandu.  We are facing Yuan Shao¡¯s elite army of hundreds of battles, no matter how powerful the troops are, they are far inferior to Tao Thief¡¯s army of hundreds of battles?¡±

    Boss Cao smiled bitterly, coughed and said: "How can I not know what you are talking about? But apart from me, is there any other general in our army who can be the opponent of Tao Ying's traitor? Besides, our troops are evenly matched.  Bacuo can only gather about 60,000 people. I have taken them to Hangu Pass and Jiguan. What about Tongguan and Chang'an? Borrow troops from the Big Ear Bandit and send the traitor's army to Hangu Pass, thousands of miles away.  Help our army resist Tao Ying's traitors, do you think there is such a good thing in the world?"

    Xun Yu and others were silent together. After hesitating for a long time, Xun Yu said cautiously: "My lord, actually we have a better choice, which is to abandon Hangu Pass and Jiguan, concentrate all our forces, and defend Tongguan. There is Ziwu Valley from Tongguan to Hanzhong.  , the big-eared thieves should send troops to reinforce us to guard Tongguan."

    "What about Hongnong and Hanoi, where our money and grain are produced? Wen Ruo, do you think that in the face of traitors like Tao Ying, even if our army is lucky enough to defend Tongguan, we still have a chance to recapture Hongnong and Hanoi counties?" Boss Cao  He asked calmly: "Is our army going to give up the last source of money and food? From now on, the money and food supplies will all depend on the face of the big-eared thief, and we will always be at his mercy, and we will always be their guard dog?"

    Xun Yu was speechless again. As he lowered his head, Xun Yu suddenly saw two sealed wooden boxes placed next to Boss Cao's desk. The names Cao Ang and Cao Ren were written on them respectively. Xun Yu couldn't help being surprised and hurriedly pointed out.  He looked at the two wooden boxes and asked, "Lord, what does this mean?"

    "It's nothing." Boss Cao refused to answer, and even put the two wooden boxes away a few times to hide them, and then coughed and said: "Since youYou are all here. Let me also explain by the way that in this battle at Hangu Pass, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Mao Jie went with me to meet the enemy. Man Chong assisted Cao Ren in Tongguan to guard the pass. Wen Ruo, you and the others stayed behind.  Chang'an, assist Ang'er in guarding the city of Chang'an.  "

    "No." Several counselors agreed together.  Boss Cao coughed for a while, and then said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, remember one thing, if I die in Hangu Pass, Ang'er will be the leader of our army. You must assist him well and give him more  Come up with some good ideas.¡±

    With a plop, Xun Yu knelt down on his knees. Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others also knelt down quickly and exclaimed together: "Lord, the war is about to begin. You must not say such ominous words!"

    "Everyone, get up. I'm just telling you, just in case." Boss Cao coughed and waved. After everyone got up, Boss Cao barely stopped coughing, and said with a forced smile: "Besides, this battle,  Our army may not be certain to be defeated. Back then in Guandu, our army only had 60,000 soldiers and Yuan Shao had 300,000 people. Didn¡¯t we still defeat Yuan Shaoqian? Tao Ying, the little thief, has always used troops to value the elite rather than the many. I  It is estimated that he will not send more than 200,000 troops, and he will also allocate a large number of troops to protect the grain roads and transport grain and grass. The Tao bandits we are confronting must not even have half the strength. The disparity in strength is far less than that of Guandu. If there is another battle,  There is still great hope for a battle in which less will defeat more, and the weak will defeat the strong! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

    As he said that, Boss Cao laughed loudly and confidently, but this time, even Xun Yu, who had always been optimistic, did not dare to join in the laughter. He just looked at Boss Cao silently along with Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others.  , Boss Cao, who was already skinny and skinny, silently looked at Boss Cao who was so sick and dying, and felt miserable at the same time.  Mr. Cao laughed for a long time and saw that no one agreed and found it boring, so he put away his smile and then couldn't help coughing violently at his desk.  Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pat Boss Cao on the back and asked, "My lord, do you want to summon the medical officer?"

    Boss Cao waved his hand in pain to say no, then covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a moment. Until he vomited something out, Boss Cao wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, clenched it tightly and hid it back in his arms.  Although Boss Cao had done these little tricks very secretly, after seeing the bloodshot eyes on the corners of Boss Cao's mouth, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others still understood very well that Boss Cao was hiding something from his group.

    As tears flashed, Xun Yu could no longer hide his emotions. He knelt down to Boss Cao again and said with a tearful voice: "My lord, why can't you consider the last option? You are his father-in-law, and he is nothing."  A murderous person is both your confidant and your enemy, so why can't you think about yourself?"

    This time it was Boss Cao's turn to be silent. After a long time, Boss Cao said slowly: "I, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, am not willing to be subordinate to others? How much more willing to be subordinate to juniors? That traitor said two things well:  Sacrificing one's life to go to the national disaster, seeing death as a sudden return home! Who has never died in life since ancient times, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history!" (To be continued)
