I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 766 The military advisor dies
Didn’t Cao Cao understand what Xi Zhicai said?
No, of course he understands, and very clearly.

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Cao Cao understood very well that what Xi Zhicai said now was actually from a loyal heart.

It was the last responsibility he could do to himself before his life was in danger.

Cao Cao sat next to Xi Zhicai, patted Xi Zhicai's arm, and said helplessly: "Zhicai, how can you still say such things to me after this has happened?"

"You still have to put your own body first."

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "My lord, why does this life matter? It's just that I followed my lord and traveled to many places. Fortunately, I followed my lord to the south of the Yangtze River and opened up a business in the southeast. My lord is the hero of the world. This is Yidian has always believed in it, but..."

When Xi Zhicai said this, he was really speechless.

He seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

But Cao Cao is a broad-minded man after all, and he obviously understands what he wants to say.

The strategies he made were random at first, but in reality, some people might not be able to get one right in their lifetime, or it might take a lifetime of trial and error to get it right.

"Medical officer! Medical officer! Where is the medical officer?!"

"My lord, perhaps, with Liu Jian's mind, if my lord can come second and prosper the Han Dynasty together, my lord may be able to see a very different future in the rest of his life..."

He always chooses the right path at the crossroads of history, which is like a divine help!

But Cao Cao spoke for himself and said for Zhicai: "Zhicai, in fact, Cao understands what you want to say. Although I am the hero of the world, compared with Liu Deran, I am still far behind."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

But Liu Jian is different. Everything he does is very confident, without hesitation and without any sloppiness.

"Liu Deran is no longer a simple hero, but a strange person!"

……

After hearing this, Xi Zhi grinned, and finally turned his head and coughed.

"Or, it's not wrong to say that he is the number one figure in the Han Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

"My lord, I don't know what kind of person Liu Deran is. After all, I have never seen him. However, based on what he has done over the years, it seems that my lord is not his opponent. This person has now opened up the path between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. With his style, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely promote the power of our great Han Dynasty to the Western Regions from now on!"

And it turns out that every choice he made was right.

Cao Cao woke up from his deep thoughts. He hurriedly reached out and stroked Xi Zhicai's back: "Zhicai, Zhicai!"

Cao Cao did not refute Xi Zhicai's words.

Then, I heard Xi Zhicai slowly say: "My lord, I can dominate the world with the heroes and look for opportunities to win. However, looking at this person's behavior, it is almost like a monster. How can I defeat him if he dominates the world with him?" "

"This man has the heroism of Emperor Gaozu, the dominance of Xiang Yu, the strategy of Han Xin, and the wisdom of Zhang Liang... How can he be compared to Cao!"

Because judging from everything Liu Jian did when he came to Jizhou, he was indeed a figure who changed the destiny of history.

"This person may be the person who will change the direction of our Han Dynasty's thousand-year history."

Xi Zhicai's coughing sound became louder and louder, which really frightened Cao Cao.

Having said this, Xi Zhi turned his head and then coughed heavily.

Unfortunately, Shouchun's medical officer failed to save Xi Zhicai's life, and Xi Zhicai died that night.

Xi Zhicai suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. For Cao Cao, it was a huge blow and a huge loss.

Because it was during the war, Cao Cao could not hold such a grand funeral for Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai's relatives and friends in various states and counties could not come to mourn, so he could only build a mourning hall in his mansion and let people from Shouchun City come. Condolences.

Cao Cao stood in front of the mourning hall. Throughout the whole day, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

However, when he came back to his senses that day, he found that his mind was blank and he really didn't know what he was thinking.

"Alas..." Cao Cao sighed and looked at the coffin in front of the coffin in the main hall with lonely eyes.

"Zhicai, why did you just leave like that?"

"Ten years, exactly ten years. In these ten years, you are like my teacher and my good friend. Cao will not forget every word you said..." "In such a critical time, you Just letting go, what will Cao do in the future?"

Just after Cao Cao sighed, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly coming to his side from behind.

"Ming Gong!"

"Ok?"

"Guan Yu started to attack the city again!"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this.

Immediately afterwards, I saw him react.

"It seems that Guan Yunchang knows that something has changed in Shouchun City... Haha, he will seize time!"

After saying that, Cao Cao turned to Yu Jin behind him and said, "Take me forward, and I will personally command the defense of the city!"

……

Just as Cao Cao expected, Guan Yu really got the situation in Shouchun City.

Xi Zhi was Cao Cao's most important military advisor. Now that he died suddenly, this had a huge influence on Cao Cao's army in Shouchun City!

The morale of Cao Jun was extremely low, and there was no good news from the side where Zhou Yu was confronting Liu Bei. This made Cao Jun very anxious from top to bottom.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best time to launch an attack on Shouchun!
It quite meant to take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Cao Cao hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked around below.

But under the city wall, Liu Jun all over the mountains and plains rushed towards Shouchun City like a swarm!
Not far behind them, a large number of Thunderbolt Chariots were throwing the last batch of huge stones towards the city. The huge stones hit the city head with a loud bang, making a loud noise.

However, this was also the last bombardment.

Looking at the Northern troops rushing up from all over the mountains and plains, Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan: "You two will lead your own troops, go to the east and west gates, and guard the city top. Don't let Guan Yu divide the troops to capture us. I will personally guard this place!"

"only!"

After Xia Houyuan accepted the order from Cao Cao, he immediately thought of something.

"Ming Gong, Guan Yu's main troops are here. It is safe for you to stay here and personally take charge of the overall situation, but if you don't have any help, I'm afraid..."

Cao Cao raised his hand to block Xia Houyuan's words and said: "No need to say more, I naturally know how to deal with everything here!"

Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, Xia Houyuan had no words to say.

He immediately led his troops and horses to separate from Cao Ren.

At this time, Guan Yu was at the foot of the city, looking at the top of the city in the distance. Cao Jun began to organize his troops to launch an effective counterattack. While stroking his three strands of long beard, he said to a young man next to him: "My son, this is where Cao Cao comes." "

The person Guan Yu is talking to at this moment is his eldest son Guan Ping.

Guan Ping is now an adult. He received the best education in Yecheng since he was a child, and has close friendships with Liu Ji, Yuan Chong, Zhang Bao and others. Now he is transferred to the front of the army and obeys the orders of his father Guan Yu.

In fact, he followed Guan Yu mainly because he wanted to learn military knowledge from Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is naturally willing to train his own son.

"Father, how did you know it was Cao Cao?" Guan Ping squinted his eyes and looked hard at the city wall.

"Did father see Cao Cao?"

Guan Yu laughed loudly: "My son, there are some things on the battlefield. You don't need to see the real person. You only need to look at the situation on the battlefield and the opponent's military formation layout, and you can get some clues."

When Guan Ping heard this, he narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.

But to be honest, after watching it for a long time, he didn't see any difference between the defensive formation of Shouchun City Wall and just now.

"Father, can't the child see any difference?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "These still require experience. If you watch them slowly, you will naturally understand them as time goes by!"
