And after the return of Tian Ruju, this soldier, it became the last straw that broke Lao Cao's life.
The five war gods teamed up to fight against the five generals Xu Yan, Xu Chu, Wang Feng, Big Mac, and Dong Yunxian.
However, the five war generals were defeated one after another. They were no match for the five war gods. Fortunately, Wang Feng made a breakthrough in the battle and reached the level of a god general from the peerless peak. Only one of the five men escaped with his life.
But in this battle, it was inevitable that the purple-faced king Dong Yunxian, who was the weakest among the five, was defeated. Among the four great kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the purple-faced king became the first to fall.
In the next three days, Wang Yi, Wang Xun, Wang Chang, Su Xian and many other Wang generals died in the battle. At the beginning, because Wang Mang's life was in Cao Cao's hands, they never thought about surrendering. But later on, even if they had this intention, Zhao Kuangyin refused.
He has already spat out his words, can he still take them back?
You resisted me so desperately before, causing many casualties to my men. Seeing that you can no longer hold on, you want to surrender at this time. Isn't this a beautiful idea?
Not to mention all, at least most of the princes will not tolerate this kind of thing all the time. Occasionally, it is okay, but if it continues like this, it will be difficult for him to fight in the future! If you just give in and be kind, isn't this encouraging others to follow suit?
And after ten days of continuous hard fighting, not only Chenliucheng has become a dead city, but also Cao Cao, there are only a few hundred people left to guard Cao Cao's mansion, and all of these hundreds of people are injured. There are even many disabled people.
"Cao Mengde is also a person, gentlemen, please give him a ride with me!" Zhao Kuangyin gave instructions to the many civil and military personnel under his command. Under the escort of two personal guards, the golden gun value and the silver armor value, some people came in a mighty manner. Entering Chenliu City in a daze, he went straight to Cao Cao's mansion.
Generals Tian Ruju and Tian Pan followed silently. Weiss and the others looked hesitant. They originally wanted to take a step forward, but after a brief thought, they finally sighed and stopped.
After all, Cao Cao was also their old master, so it would always be a bit awkward for the two groups of people to meet.
Zhao Kuangyin did not force them. This kind of thing is human nature. When ministers who betray their master go to see their old master at this time, there is always a suspicion of adding insult to injury. It is normal for these people to have concerns.
As these people are the ones who know the affairs of this battle, Zhao Kuangyin is still prepared to make good use of them, so there is no need to force them too much.
………………
Zhao Kuangyin, surrounded by a large group of Xuzhou Army generals, finally arrived at the gate of Cao Mansion. What he heard and saw along the way also made the generals have mixed feelings.
Along the way, except for the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army, there were almost no living people seen.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
These generals are not cold-blooded butchers. How could they be so cold-blooded that they have no feelings when the city is so tragic?
"Mengde, in the past we drove out the Dong thieves, defended the Yi and Di in the north, pacified the Yuan traitors in the south, and conquered the Jin rebels in the west. But today we have reached this point. It's really true that things are different and people are different!" In front of the Cao Mansion, Cao Cao was seen again. Zhao Kuangyin inevitably sighed.
From today onwards, one of the great enemies in his life will be reduced.
Today's Cao Cao is very different from the high-spirited and whip-wielding Cao Cao in Zhao Kuangyin's memory. Today's Cao Cao is very old, but some people are old but their hearts will not grow old. Even if they are old, they conquer The hearts of the four directions will not change.
But today, Cao Cao has white hair on his temples. Not only is he old, but his heart is also depressed.
Over the years, although Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin were not friends, they were still good comrades-in-arms, and they had really dealt with many common enemies together. It's a pity that there are never permanent friends in this world.
They finally found this step!
No wonder Zhao Kuangyin sighed like this!
"Zhao Kuangzi, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. It's just like this. I lost, but it doesn't mean you will win!" Cao Cao slowly stood up with Xu Chu's support, using the Heavenly Sword to stand on the ground for support. His body said.
"Now, I hold half of Yanzhou and the land of Xuyu. The Central Plains is almost within my own land. I will definitely win!" Zhao Kuangyin said ambitiously.
Zhao Kuangyin knew what Cao Cao meant. Even if Zhao Kuangyin annexed Cao Cao, not to mention the Jin army to the west, even Zhu Yuanzhang to the south would be stronger than Zhao Kuangyin.
Therefore, Cao Cao has indeed lost, but Zhao Kuangyin may not be the winner.
But so what, which emperor would lose confidence in himself?
Which great emperor has not experienced hardships and thorns in his life?
If you give up when faced with difficulties, then those great emperors will not be able to achieve their achievements!
If Zhao Kuangyin has no confidence in himself, if Qin Shihuang has no confidence in you, and if Zhu Yuanzhang has no confidence in himself, why are they still seeking to develop and grow? If they really think that they will lose sooner or later, then they might as well surrender early, or sooner. Occupy a good position and become a founding hero in the future!
But how could people like them not have confidence in themselves?
Even when he only owned the land of Xuzhou, Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid of anything, let alone now that the land of the Central Plains has almost fallen into his hands.
"Zhao Kuangzi, I just don't know if your lackeys have the same confidence as you. My king's today is your tomorrow!" Cao Cao stared at Zhao Kuangyin with a half-smile.
Zhao Kuangyin has full confidence in himself and will never retreat on several roads to conquer the world!
But the general trend of the world is actually not good for Zhao Kuangyin. Do his subordinates have the confidence in Zhao Kuangyin to continue? Do his men really believe that Zhao Kuangyin can go to the end?
When the disaster approaches, they all fly away. Will Zhao Kuangyin's men follow Zhao Kuangyin all the way at that time? Will they dare to go to that dead end?
He, Cao Cao, has had so many traitors these days, and how many people, although they have not shown anything on the surface, are actually ready to join the Jin army before they leave. Cao Cao is like this, and what will happen to Zhao Kuangyin one day in the future? Woolen cloth?
Even at the end of the day, Cao Cao did not forget to plot against Zhao Kuangyin, and gave Zhao Kuangyin and his ministers a hard dose of eye medicine!
If it were a suspicious person, just such a short sentence might make them suspicious of each other!
