Xi Zhicai finished speaking intermittently, and even coughed, which frightened Cao Cao even more. The corners of his eyes were slightly moist. In fact, the scene in front of him was more like Xi Zhicai's flashback in Cao Cao's eyes.
"Zhicai, Cao knows, you must have a good rest and get better. Cao is still waiting for you to join us to work together for a great cause, so everything will be fine."
Cao Cao's heart trembled for a moment. For Xi Zhicai, he was not only his subordinate, but also his friend. Cao Cao had different feelings for Xi Zhicai.
At this time, Cao Cao was very worried and distressed, but he had no choice but to do anything, which made him helpless and angry.
After Xi Zhi said these words, he looked extremely weak, coughing constantly, and it was difficult to speak again.
"Lord, I want to take a rest. I'm really sleepy."
Xi Zhicai's weak voice came, but Cao Cao still heard it clearly. He immediately put Xi Zhicai down carefully, lay on the bed, and gently covered Xi Zhicai with a quilt.
"Zhicai, enjoy your life and rest, don't think about anything else, just go down and start making arrangements right now."
After dying for a while, Cao Cao finally walked out of the room and asked the doctor to go in for diagnosis and treatment. After Xi Zhi fell asleep peacefully, Cao Cao left with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
"Wenruo, Zhongde, and Zhicai are so young. Why are they like this now? I still can't accept it."
Cao Cao looked sad, and he knew in his heart that Xi Zhicai's situation was beyond repair, but he was unwilling to accept this fact.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu listened to Cao Cao's words and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, Xun Yu slowly spoke out.
"My lord, it's time and destiny that our ambitions should suffer such a calamity. Even if we feel sorry for it, there's nothing we can do about it."
After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly stopped and turned around.
"What Wen Ruo said is indeed true. However, Cao Cao does not believe in fate. I, Cao Cao, only believe in myself. My destiny should be in my own hands!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he immediately quickened his pace. After hearing this, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were shocked and also quickened their pace to keep up.
When they came to the room, several people sat down, and Cao Cao was the first to speak.
"What do you think of what Zhicai said?"
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and Xun Yu spoke first. They had already thought about this matter.
"My lord, I believe that what Zhicai said is absolutely right. We have all overlooked one point, that is, we will definitely be able to kill Lu Bu this time, but if Lu Bu really gathers his troops to fight us to the death, the outcome is still uncertain.
Especially in Yuzhou, we have all neglected this point. In our eyes, Xuzhou has become a dead end, but Yuzhou is the only way out that can make Xuzhou reborn again.
If Lu Bu sends troops to Yuzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely not let us intervene, and our Yanzhou has not yet recovered. Even if we want to intervene, it will be extremely difficult. What we can do now is to rescue Zixiao and the others as soon as possible, and then we must speed up the restoration of Yanzhou. , otherwise, time will be too late.
Asking Yuan Shao for help, I think it should be started now and cannot be delayed any longer. "
Cao Cao was not an indecisive person. After hearing Xun Yu's words, he immediately made a decision.
"What Wen Ruo said is absolutely true. Wen Ruo has to make a hard trip to Yuan Benchu's place this time. I will ask Zi Xiu to prepare to go with you. I'll leave it to Wen Ruo for the future of Yanzhou!"
While Cao Cao was planning here, Lu Bu in Xuzhou also had a headache at this time, just because Chen Gong now asked him how to deal with Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Le Jin.
"Gongtai, is that Le Jin really unwilling to surrender to me?"
Chen Gong sighed and nodded, and Lu Bu felt even more helpless. Although he was ready to get these people's bodies but not their loyalty, when it came, Lu Bu still felt a little panicked.
Lu Bu had no idea about Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun among the three Le Jin. The reason why he kept these two people was that he had not yet decided whether to kill them directly or exchange them with Cao Cao for something useful.
As for Le Jin, Lu Bu is really greedy. Even though Le Jin is not as well-known as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this leader's combat skills are really high. In an era when there are so many generals, he can win the battle by force. If you get the title first and can be recognized by others, let's just say it's awesome or not.
Le Jin was still very capable in conquering cities and territories. Lu Bu wanted to subdue him. Chen Gong and Chen Gong knew each other well, so he asked Chen Gong to try it first. However, after all this time, Le Jin refused to let go. , Chen Gong had no choice but to tell Lu Bu that there was nothing he could do.
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu suddenly spoke.
"Gongtai, this Le Wenqian is a good general. If he is misplaced like this, I will not be willing to accept it!
I went to see him now, but I didn’t believe it anymore. As long as I was sincere, he could still refuse. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he left directly, and Chen Gong sighed.
Lu Bu came directly to Le Jin's small room. For these three people, Lu Bu treated these three people differently. Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were in prison, and Le Jin had a small room of his own.
After Lu Bu came in, he saw that Le Jin was full of sadness and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Wen Qian, if you feel bored staying in the house, you can go for a walk in the yard. If you need anything else, just tell the people below and they will arrange it for you as soon as possible."
That's right, Le Jin's small room had a small courtyard outside. It didn't look like he was being held captive at all, but more like he was on vacation.
Le Jin noticed it the moment Lu Bu came in. After listening to Lu Bu's words, he immediately spoke in a deep voice.
"I have seen Marquis Wen, and I know that I am a prisoner. I have no extravagant thoughts about the outer courtyard. I also ask Marquis Wen to put him in the prison. I really feel uncomfortable in this house. I also ask Marquis Wen not to come here again." , advance, not surrender.”
When Lu Bu heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He didn't even say those words, but instead said some caring words, and was rejected so ruthlessly. How could Lu Bu feel so good.
However, Lu Bu also knew that it would be extremely difficult to conquer others with his reputation, so he was not discouraged and spoke again.
"Wen Qian was joking. Bu brought a jar of good wine. Can Wen Qian accompany me to have a chat in the courtyard?"
Lu Bu shook the wine jar, but Le Jin ignored Lu Bu and just stood aside, looking out the window.
Seeing Le Jin like this, Lu Bu felt even more miserable.
"Since Wen Qian is not happy, then leave this jar of wine to Wen Qian. In addition, I plan to use one of Cao Ren or Xiahou Dun to exchange Wen Qian's family with Cao Mengde. Wen Qian can be patient and reunited later. .
Of course, if Wen Qian wishes, I can put Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun back together intact. I am only here for Wen Qian.
I also know that my reputation is not good, and now Xuzhou is facing enemies from all sides. Now Yuan Shu is attacking in a big way, and Qingzhou Yuan Tan is ready to make a move. But as long as I, Lu Fengxian, am here, Xuzhou will not lose.
The Lu Bu of today is no longer the Lu Bu of the past. Of course Wen Qian doesn't believe what I say, but time will slowly prove it.
When Wen Qian's family arrives, there will no longer be any restrictions on Wen Qian. As for the house, it has been prepared. Wen Qian can walk around and go out to see what Lu Fengxian is now and Lu Bu before. , what is the difference. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he put down the wine jar and went out directly. Although he spoke firmly, who could know the bitterness and helplessness in his heart.
In the past, he always had a glimmer of hope, but after what happened to Le Jin, his hope was shattered. At this moment, he also fully understood how difficult it was for him, Lu Fengxian, to recruit these famous generals and men.
But despite this, it did not shake his heart at all, but became more determined. If you can't get your heart, you will get the person's policy, which will always be unswerving.
