Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 263 Cao Cao’s collapse!
Wang Lin and Le He killed Xu Chu, cut off his head, and fled out of the city that night to surrender to Xing Daorong.

When Xing Daorong saw Xu Chu's head, he was completely stunned.

He had thought of many ways to capture Xu Chu, but he never thought that he would end up using this method!
Xu Chu did not die in the battle, but was beheaded by his own people!

Xing Daorong didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but it was a good thing after all.

He pacified the two men that night and attacked Chencang the next day.

With Xu Chu dead, there was naturally no resistance in the city.

They opened the city and surrendered directly, and most of Cao's soldiers surrendered.

Xing Daorong led his troops into the city, but after thinking for a while, he felt that there was no point in keeping Xu Chu's head.

He discussed with Zhang Fei and others, "It is useless to keep Xu Chu's head. It is better to give it to Cao Cao."

Zhang Fei actually agreed with it.

But he exclaimed: "This is a good idea!"

"Cao Cao will be furious when he sees Xu Chu's head. It would be even better if he dies of anger!"

"But... tell me, what on earth is Cao Cao doing? Why is he not moving his troops? It seems like he doesn't care about these troops at all?"

Xing Daorong thought that something must have happened in Yecheng, but to know what exactly happened...

He is not a god, how could he know?

But the quieter it is, the bigger the matter is.

“I don’t know how serious this matter is…”

Xing Daorong thought about it in his heart, but asked someone to quickly send Xu Chu's head to Yecheng.

...

To understand what happened to Cao Cao in Yecheng, we have to start from the time he sent the Cui family away.

On the surface, the departure of the Cui family seemed like nothing serious, but in reality, it was like a weather vane.

Especially since the Cui family moved their entire family away, leaving no women, children or grandchildren behind, and because they had suffered "perseverance" in front of the emperor, they began to wonder more and more whether they should become "traitors" after Cao Cao became king.

When there is no one to take the lead, all we can do at best is just think about it.

And when someone takes the lead and things are completely successful, naturally more people will think about it.

Cao Cao soon realized that something was wrong, but it was impossible for him to start killing again, and he felt very headache.

Just as Xing Daorong had fabricated in Chencang, Cao Cao was seriously ill and had no time to care about Xu Chu's condition.

In fact, Cao Cao did think of Xu Chu, but he thought that Xu Chu would be able to adapt to the situation and make adjustments according to the battlefield situation. He did not expect that this coward would defend Chencang to the death, but end up with his head and body separated.

...

Xu Chu is dead and his head has been sent here!
Such an important matter could not be hidden from Cao Cao.

When they received Xu Chu's head, everyone in the Cao family was shocked. No one knew how to talk to Cao Cao for a moment.

It was Xun You who had no choice but to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

But on this day, he came to Cao Cao's bed, smelled the medicine in the room, concentrated his mind, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "King Wei, there is news from Chencang..."

Cao Cao was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a buzzing voice, "What happened?"

Xun You said ruthlessly, "King of Wei, Chencang has been lost, General Xu died in battle, and General Xiahou... was captured again."

"What did you say! Xu Chu died in battle?"

Sitting up in shock while dying, the dark wind and rain entered the cold window.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this and shouted, "What on earth is going on?"

Xun You sighed and said, "According to reports from the defeated army, General Xu is in Chencang and needs to gather 100,000 arrows within three days to resist Xing Daorong's troops."

"The deputy general was not able to do the right thing and was criticized by General Xu, so he rebelled at night, killed Xu Chu, and defected to Xing Daorong."

Cao Cao felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this. He then looked over and saw Xun You coming with a wooden box. He had no idea what was inside.

But he waved his hand and said, "Bring it here, let me have a look..."

Xun You's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his scalp suddenly began to feel tingling.

But since Cao Cao had spoken, they had no choice but to take it. Cao Cao opened the wooden box himself and saw that the head inside was Xu Chu's. Who else could it be?

"Zhongkang!"

But then Cao Cao shouted loudly, and finally he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

Xun You was shocked when he saw this.

In a panic, he called the imperial physician here.

That night.

Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi all heard the news and stayed beside the palace.

The imperial physician examined the patient for a full hour before coming out and saying, "The King of Wei's headache is caused by an internal menstrual disease. It must be properly treated before it can be relieved."

"If you want to cure it completely, you must not do anything stressful, let alone be stimulated by anything."

"If I get provoked again... I'm afraid that my skills won't be of any use..."

The imperial physician's words immediately made the five people accompanying the emperor in the hall all have different thoughts in their minds.

It's just that I can't tell others what I'm thinking...

Everyone nodded repeatedly, looking terrified and afraid, not daring to provoke Cao Cao again.

Cao Pi then asked, "When will my father wake up?"

The doctor said, "The King of Wei has nothing to worry about today. He will wake up soon."

Cao Pi knelt down and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician. You can go to my house to get the reward as a token of my appreciation."

The imperial physician naturally thanked him, and the storm seemed to have subsided, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

Cao Cao was seriously ill, and the impact it brought was naturally far-reaching.

Once the news gets out, not only these five people will be worried, but everyone else will be as well.

...

Let’s not talk about Cao Cao’s reaction, and let’s talk about Xing Daorong.

After taking Chencang, he hurriedly reported the matter to Liu Bei.

He was no longer in a hurry to attack Chang'an, but only asked Zhang Fei to guard Dasan Pass and stationed himself in Chencang.

Soon, Liu Bei's order came, ordering Ma Chao to advance to Sanguan, Pang De to advance to Chencang, and Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong to return to Chengdu as soon as possible.

Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong received the order and took Xiahou Dun back to Chengdu.

Speaking of which, Xiahou Dun is really unlucky.

When this guy was caught again, he thought it would be better to just die.

But after being caught, death is not an easy thing.

Xiahou Dun was extremely depressed, and Xing Daorong would not let him go.

On the way, he also sighed: "General Xu Chu's death was not worth it. He died fighting for Cao Cao and was accused of being a traitor. It was really not worth it."

“What a pity… What a pity…”

Xiahou Dun could naturally hear that Xing Daorong was talking about him.

He immediately yelled, "Xing Daorong, if you have the ability, let me go and I will compete with you again!"

Xing Daorong laughed when he heard this: "General Xiahou is the lucky star of our army. When the time is right, we will naturally release you."

"Just don't get caught next time, or you'll ask me to let you go again. That would make me embarrassed."

Being called a lucky star by the enemy is a great shame.

But once someone has control over you, it's useless no matter how good your words are.

Xiahou Dun could only keep all his harsh words in his heart, thinking only about when he could take revenge and avenge his previous humiliation.

otherwise…

Just take his recent performance as an example. No matter how hard we try to cover it up in history books, the only word left is "shame".
