That night, Cao Wu stayed in Zhang Liao's army.
Zhang Liao was not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, but he admired Cao Wu's courage very much, and he had a good chat with Cao Wu. He made an exception and let Cao Wu drink a few glasses of wine, but he didn't touch any wine himself.
Cao Wu commented on the general trend of the world and showed his characteristics as a keyboard warrior who knew a little bit about everything. Zhang Liao was so excited that he was amazed that Cao Wu knew everything.
Since Zhang Liao thought that Cao Wu was unparalleled in his knowledge, he regarded Cao Wu as his confidant, so he made an exception again and brought out the best wine.
As a result, Cao Wu drank all the good wine, while Zhang Liao still drank nothing.
"When this battle is victorious, Cao will hold a banquet in Beifu, waiting for me, brother!"
When Zhang Liao helped Cao Wu enter the military tent, Cao Wu waved his hand.
Zhang Liao laughed loudly: "Then Zhang will bother me later!"
In the military tent, Ada had made the bed and was waiting.
As soon as Zhang Liao left, Cao Wu and Ada sighed at the same time.
"Why are you sighing?"
They both asked at the same time.
In the end, Cao Wu signaled Ah Da to speak first.
"I lament the impermanence of fate. In the past, my husband was famous all over the world, and his generals were like clouds. On the day the city was destroyed, Chen Gongtai cursed Duke Cao. General Gao would rather die than surrender, and all the generals withered. Now, only Wen Yuan is the only general left under my husband's command. But I can’t recognize him.”
Cao Wu was drunk and said with a smile: "We didn't get rid of your husband by cooperating inside and outside."
Ah Da raised her beautiful eyebrows and said angrily: "I pledged my life to the country, why should the general laugh at me!"
Cao Wu knew that she was angry, but he was still drunk, so he reflexively changed the subject: "Little lady, listen to me tell a story."
Ah Da is such a smart person. He knew that he was changing the subject, but he still fell into the trap and made a listening gesture.
It was really because the stories Cao Wu told, such as the marriage proposal on Peach Blossom Island, the meeting in the Valley of Jueqing 16 years later, and the stubborn stone that turned into a monkey and fell in love with the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, were all too attractive.
"This story is actually very simple. When I saw Zhang Fei today, I remembered an old friend."
"This man also has a hot temper, a very rugged appearance, and a bravery that no man can match. He is bold by nature, and when he is happy, he can lift a two hundred kilogram stone with one hand and dance with great ease. Sometimes I He will be encouraged to wrap up in a white cloth and fight hand to hand with another warrior, and everyone will place bets on the market, which is very lively.”
"He is the bodyguard of a very powerful general. Normally, this position is not dangerous. After all, how many people in the world can kill him in front of the general?"
"But, I know one thing. When a rebellion breaks out, he will die."
"So I decided to do something that would change my destiny."
"First of all, I hid the root cause of the rebellion, the wife of a Xiliang general. As a result, by some combination of circumstances, this beautiful wife was discovered."
"Then, I changed the warrior's position so that he could not appear at the scene of the rebellion on the day he died. I even sent my own bodyguards to protect him."
"But he still died. Like everything that was scheduled to happen, he used the two soldiers as weapons, danced with great joy, danced with water that couldn't splash, danced..."
"But he's dead."
"I still don't understand why he still appeared there. Xiao Ang is dead, An Min is dead, and he is dead too."
Halfway through speaking, Cao Wu's tone was already unclear due to the smell of alcohol.
But Ada listened quietly, she already knew who Cao Wu was talking about.
The school captain Dian Wei, with outstanding martial arts and heroic prowess, died in the Zhangxiu Rebellion in the second year of Jian'an.
That was already eleven years ago.
She couldn't help but ask: "So you have been..."
Cao Wu rested his head on Ah Da's thigh and said, "Through this incident, I know that it is not possible to change one's fate against the will of nature. You don't understand, and I don't understand either. It is said that this is called The timeline is over. But I don’t want to worry about Lao Shizi’s end, my friend, he’s dead!”
Ah Da could tell that Cao Wu was actually drunk.
She had heard some of the half-understood words in his mouth and didn't care. There were only a few people in the world who knew that Cao Wu was different.
No one who knows this secret will tell others.
But only this time, what she felt from Cao Wu was not just sadness or apology, but also a hint of panic?
It was not that he missed his old friend because he saw Zhang Fei, but that he was afraid of his old friend.
The so-called destiny is the past that cannot be changed and the future that is difficult to control.
He can't change his destiny, so he can't make any inventions that are far ahead of his time.
He couldn't change his fate against the will of heaven, so he knew Xun Yu's ending, but he could only secretly reveal it to him while drunk.
He couldn't change his fate against the will of heaven, but he wanted to try again to see if he could reverse Chibi.
He did not want to see the world divided into three parts, nor did he want to see the Three Kingdoms return to Jin. He did not want to see the unfilial descendants of the Sima family fighting against each other and leading wolves into the house, causing the Five Husbands to chaos in China, the northern Han people to be almost extinct, and four hundred years of life to be ruined.
He wants to do something, even if he is just a little keyboard warrior, he always has to do something.
So he tried little by little, starting with small inventions one by one, and leveraging history little by little. He found that if it was just a small change, it would be possible.
Now, he finally had the courage to try again and wanted to change the outcome of this battle.
He had been preparing for this trip south for too long.
"Diao Chan, I want to give it a try."
Cao Wu's last murmur could no longer be heard, and Ada just let him sleep on her lap all night.
She herself remained awake, thinking.
The next day, Cao Wu woke up with a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw two Mount Tai looming over him.
Taishan touched his head, and the fairy girl who was kowtowing and taking a nap on the mountain woke up.
Ah Da looked confused and said, "I'm awake. Where are you going today?"
Cao Wu couldn't remember what he said last night. He could only lament that there was no shortage of good wine in ancient times, and Zhang Liao's wine was pretty good.
Cao Wucong raised his head from between the two Taishan Mountains. He didn't know which muscle he had hit wrong, so he asked a stupid question: "I seem to remember that you sighed yesterday. What were you sighing for?"
"It's so unlucky to see you!"
Ah Da moved his thighs, and with a "dang" sound, the back of Cao Wu's head hit the bed.
She came back, helped Cao Wu up, and asked, "How are you? Are you sober?"
Cao Wu said seriously: "In our place, people usually ask if they want hot water."
Ada got up to fetch water, and Cao Wu stopped her: "What else did we talk about yesterday?"
Ada said softly: "It's nothing, you just can't laugh at me in the future. You know I can't help myself."
Cao Wu nodded, and just when he was about to open his mouth to ask, Ada said first: "This is the one hundred and twenty-fourth time I've asked, no comment!"
Cao Wu said angrily: "Have you been thinking about this all day? I have more important things that I haven't thought of!"
Ada was very surprised, once he mentioned this matter, what else could this guy ask?
Cao Wuyi slapped his forehead: "I remembered, I know the purpose of Zhang Fei appearing here!"
"What?"
Zhang Liao happened to arrive outside the tent and asked quickly.
"Okay, General Zhang is here. Brother Zhang, there is no need to spend too much energy on Zhang Fei. His goal is not to harass the rear."
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
Zhang Liao entered the military tent. Before he came in, A Da had already put on his veil and hid beside him.
"The Dabie Mountains are not suitable for large-scale troop marches. You know this, I know it, and Zhang Fei also knows it. It is not easy to bring three hundred cavalry here. And our army has more than a million troops and civilians, and countless grain and grass supplies. . In front of so many people, how many thousands of people can three hundred people kill, even if they come and go like the wind? How much impact can it have on the battle situation? It would be fine if it was just a minion taking the risk. Zhang Fei is Liu Xuande's sworn brother Brother, there is absolutely no need to take such a risky move."
"So the general thinks that Zhang Fei is not here to fight against the autumn wind. So what is he here to do?"
"He's looking for someone!"
Cao Wu got up and went to the ground, drawing several circles on the ground with his hands.
"This is Dabie Mountain, this is Xinye, this is Xiangyang, this is where he appeared."
"From where he appeared, go through the official road and reach the opposite side... Longzhong!"
"He's looking for someone I've been planning for a long time!"
"Zhuge Wolong!"
