After Mi Zhu returned to the place where he was hiding, he recorded all the things he talked about with Liu Qi tonight, and then asked someone to send it to Liu Yu in Xiangyang.

Mi Zhu learned a lesson from Liu Bei that no lord would be completely at ease with his subordinates, especially a more powerful king like Liu Yu, who had a stricter grasp of his subordinates. As a subordinate, if you make your own decisions, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future. Mi Zhu's previous self-assertion must be reported to Liu Yu clearly, lest Liu Yu suspect him of overstepping his authority. This is also Mi Zhu's means of self-preservation.

In fact, there is no need for Mi Zhu to report, Liu Yu also has no murderous intentions towards Liu Qi. Liu Qi's name is Liu Bei, but it is a fart for Liu Yu, keeping it and killing it is the same.

So much so that Mi Zhu's report came to Liu Yu's hands, and Liu Yu agreed without saying a word. Liu Yu felt that keeping Liu Qi's life was also a good thing, after all, it could be regarded as waste utilization, and keeping him could show that Liu Yu was a benevolent king, and this transaction was still cost-effective.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu of Jiangdong were looking at the map of Jingzhou and Jiangdong at this time, discussing the next situation in Jiangdong.

Sun Ce's face was a little pale, some time ago, he was holding his body to quell the rebellion, although he often kept taking medicine regularly, but under the bumps, the injuries on his body have not been completely thorough. Now that Jiangdong is a little better, he has to fight against Liu Yu, which is really a bit helpless. Sun Ce once thought that his time had just passed?

Zhou Yu kept pointing to the distribution map of the enemy and us on the map, and analyzed it for Sun Ce little by little: "Bo Fu, although we have taken Wulin, the current situation is still very unfavorable to our Jiangdong. The essence of Jingzhou is in Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Nanyang, and Liu Yu has already occupied the second, and what we Jiangdong need to do now is to destroy Jingzhou's naval army, so that Liu Yu cannot continue to go south. ”

After listening to this, Sun Ce said: "The reason why our army can compete with Liu Yu is the navy, if Liu Yu has a navy, plus the advantage of numbers, Jiangdong is in danger!" ”

That's it, Liu Yu's momentum is high, if he doesn't give him a hard blow when his foothold is not stable. I'm afraid we won't be able to guard against him. Zhou Yu said cautiously.

"I don't know if Xingba and Ziyi can complete the plan. It's a pity that if I hadn't been injured in Xuzhou, I would have liked to meet Liu Yu in person! Sun Ce said with a little regret.

After saying this, Sun Ce coughed lightly, it seemed that his body had not recovered well.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Bo Fu, when can your competitive character be changed." You should take care of your body first, and you are not the only one in Jiangdong who can lead troops to fight. ”

Sun Ce can know that the most important thing for him now is recovery, and only by recovering can he lead Jiangdong to defeat the powerful Liu Yu.

"Xingba is familiar with the situation in the Wulin area, and the water battle is even more brave, and it is more than enough to deal with the Jingzhou naval army. Ziyi is also a rare military general with both wisdom and bravery. Xingba has a fiery personality, Ziyi is calm as water, and the two of them join forces and can complement each other. "Gan Ning and Tai Shici were arranged by Zhou Yu, and this time the importance of such an arrangement was once again emphasized.

At this time, a pro-soldier brought a bowl of boiled medicine.

Sun Ce's face was a little depressed when he saw this bowl of medicine, but he drank it in one gulp. With a mouth full of bitterness, Rao is Sun Ce inevitably complained: "This time my body is better, I don't want to drink this kind of thing anymore." ”

Zhou Yu reminded: "If you are so careless every time, this kind of thing really can't be avoided." ”

Sun Ce smiled a little awkwardly, Zhou Yu was just reminding him that of course he accepted it humbly.

"Bo Fu, we have to face Liu Yu now, but Cao Cao has nothing to do. It's time for Cao Cao to do something too. Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Send an envoy to contact Cao Cao." We're finished, and Cao Cao isn't much better. ”

Zhou Yu knew that this was something that was understood, so the two of them sent an envoy to Shouchun, hoping to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Liu Yu.

At this time, in Shouchun, Cao Cao's mood was very bad, because Cheng Yu had reached the time when the oil ran out and the lamp was dry, and now he had only one breath left to hang, and he didn't know when he would hang up.

Among Cao Cao's many strategists, many of them were Cao Cao's subordinates, and they were masters and slaves. And Cheng Yu and Guo Jia are similar to Cao Cao's relationship with friends. Guo Jia is uninhibited, very similar to Cao Cao's image when he was young, and the two have a common topic. Cheng Yu is different, he belongs to the kind of person who is quiet, but he is the most loyal to Cao Cao, and he can not want anything for Cao Cao. Most of the vicious strategies in Cao Cao's army were devised by Cheng Yu, but all of them were very beneficial to Cao Cao. Cao Cao never regarded Cheng Yu as a subordinate, as a friend who could be trusted.

Now that this friend is about to leave this world, Cao Cao's inner pain is very great. He has also reached an age where the people around him are constantly leaving.

Shouchun's best Lang Zhong told Cao Cao that Cheng Yu had been doing it for a few days. Cao Cao has been by Cheng Yu's side for the past few days, hoping for a miracle, and also has the meaning of wanting to accompany Cheng Yu to the end of his life.

Cao Cao is not alone, Guo Jia also follows behind Cao Cao, and his feelings for Cheng Yu are not shallow. Cheng Yu was very optimistic about Guo Jia, a young man, and he didn't know how many times he reprimanded Guo Jia. Cheng Yu was annoyed that Guo Jia was hanging all day long and uninhibited, a good military division who could be famous all over the world for his appearance and talent, but he kept wasting his talent, Cheng Yu hated iron and steel.

Cheng Yu had been lying in bed for several days, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, who was about to lose weight, and sighed: "Zhongde, why are you so ruthless." ”

Guo Jia stood behind Cao Cao and sighed in his heart: This kind of scene of life and death is really uncomfortable.

Cheng Yu has been in a coma, in a daze, he seems to see something, but he can't see what it is. But he clearly saw that Cao Cao was trapped in Shouchun, surrounded by troops, and Cao Cao looked up to the sky and roared with a sad face.

Maybe people have some premonitions before they die. Cheng Yu wanted to help Cao Cao, but he found that he couldn't scream or move. Cheng Yu in the dream was constantly struggling, which affected his body.

Cao Cao saw Cheng Yu's body move, and he was overjoyed, Cheng Yu was about to wake up.

Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes, saw Cao Cao's face at once, and said nervously: "Lord, you go quickly." I can't stay here. ”

"Zhongde, what's wrong with you? Lone has nothing to do, why should he leave here? Cao Cao didn't know why Cheng Yu was so nervous.

Guo Jia also looked at Cheng Yu with a concerned face.

Cheng Yu looked around and found that this was in his bedroom, and soon knew that he was dreaming just now, but the dream just now was too real.

As long as it's a dream, Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lord, I had a dream that was very unfavorable to my lord just now, but fortunately, it was just a dream." ”

Cao Cao was so moved, this is the person who is loyal to himself, the so-called thinking day and night, if Cheng Yu hadn't been thinking about Cao Cao all the time, how could he dream of Cao Cao in his dreams.

"Zhongde, it's good that you're awake, you have to rest well." Cao Cao saw that Cheng Yu had recovered a lot of spirits, and hope was ignited in his heart.

But Cheng Yu didn't think so, he had been sick for so long, he knew what his situation was, and he was a little energetic at this time, which was a phenomenon of returning to the light.

"My lord, I know my situation below. There is not much time left, and I invite the lord to listen to some of the words below. Cheng Yu hurriedly said, he struggled to get up, but after lying in the hospital bed for a long time, his whole body was numb, and he almost fell to the ground.

Cao Cao hurriedly supported Cheng Yu, seeing that he was so nervous, he said softly: "Zhongde, you say, listen alone." ”

Cheng Yu organized the language, and then said slowly: "Lord, the general trend of the world is no longer something that we can control. Unless there are earth-shattering changes, I am afraid that this world will be unified by Liu Yu. ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, and looked at Cheng Yu in silence.

Cheng Yu had never said such frustrating words before, he encouraged and supported Cao Cao, and now he felt that he was going to die, and he definitely couldn't let Cao Cao fall into the kind of fate in his dreams.

"Mr. Zhongde, it's man-made, how can I know the result if I can't wait to work hard." Guo Jiake does not agree with Cheng Yu's opinion so much.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "It's man-made, but it also depends on the will of God." If the lord can occupy the land of Xu, Yan, and Henan, maybe the things in the world will not be extinguished. Now that Liu Yu occupies the Central Plains, if he goes south to Jingzhou or west to Yizhou, with the two stupid sons of Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng and Liu Zhang, Liu Yu will not be able to stop Liu Yu. Once these two places were taken by Liu Yu, the lord would no longer be able to compete with Liu Yu, and in the end there was only one way to lose. ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia's faces turned pale, and the news of Liu Yu's capture of Jingzhou had been spread here, but Cheng Yu had been in a coma and didn't know it.

Cheng Yu is such a person, how could he not see that Cao Cao and Guo Jia's faces were abnormal, he had also slept for so long, and he didn't know many things, so he asked nervously: "Lord, could it be that Liu Yu has already taken Jingzhou and Yizhou?" ”

Guo Jia said: "The news from the front came that Liu Yu had captured Xiangyang, and Liu Cong, the assassin of Jingzhou, surrendered without a fight. ”

Cheng Yu was stunned, and suddenly scolded Guo Jia: "You usually don't boast of being talented, how can you let Liu Yu take Jingzhou so easily." Guo Fengxiao, did you drink too much and miss the lord's big event? ”

Guo Jia was reprimanded by Cheng Yu so embarrassed that he was really to blame for this matter, he didn't come up with a plan to stop Liu Yu, and watched Liu Yu take Jingzhou.

Cao Cao said softly: "Zhongde, this can't be blamed on Fengxiao them, in fact, Liu Yu has already taken precautions. Lone and Sun Ce joined forces to stop it, but it was in vain. ”

Cheng Yu was a little helpless, the world was over, Liu Yu was in a big situation, and it was not something that could be stopped by manpower at all.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment, then held Cao Cao's hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Lord, I am incompetent below, and when the lord needs it the most, I can't help below!" ”

"Zhongde, you have a good rest, we can compete with Liu Yu in the future." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"My lord, I don't have much time left. Please listen to the last few words below. Now there are only two paths in front of the lord. One is to take advantage of Liu Yu's failure to dominate the world, and ask the lord to submit to him immediately. The lord and Liu Yu have a lot of friendship, Liu Yu misses the old love, and the lord has the merit of obeying the dragon, and the lord is a very simple thing. Cheng Yu said.

"Although Gu and Liu Yu are friends, if they wanted to be obedient, they would have been obedient a long time ago. Now that there is His Majesty in Shouchun, he can't abandon him. Cao Cao didn't want to admit defeat in his heart, he was not the kind of person who easily admitted defeat, and without the last moment, no one knew if he would have the last laugh.

Cheng Yu knew Cao Cao's character, and what he said just now was in vain, so he said again: "The second way, ask the lord to send assassins to kill Liu Yu or his heir!" ”

Cao Cao was a little angry and said, "Lone is not that kind of villain! ”

Before Yu Ban wanted to assassinate Liu Xuan, Cao Cao finally sold Yu Ban to Liu Yu to give an explanation, because the bottom line of sin is not as good as his family is the unspoken rule of the princes. If the battle for hegemony fails, it is one thing for the family to be dealt with by the winner, and when there is no winner to distinguish the winner, it will be a violation of the rules to deal with the opponent's family.

"My lord, when it comes to this, what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality do you still talk about? Only the victor has the right to speak. Even if the lord doesn't want to, Liu Yu and his children are all heroes. Shouldn't the lord think about his own children? Kill Liu Yu, Liu Yu's side must be in turmoil, and then the lord will have a chance to take advantage of it and have a chance to turn the tables. Killing Liu Yu's heir, with Liu Yu's woman's kindness, will definitely be full of grief and carelessness, and the lord will also have a chance to recapture the Central Plains. Please also think twice. Cheng Yu said bitterly, he had no other way.

"Zhongde, if Lone is defeated, it is the will of heaven. Providence is like this, what can be done by Lonely. Cao Cao said his decision in one sentence.

Cheng Yu knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, Cao Cao would not listen, and finally said: "Lord, I know that you will not do this." I beg the Lord to think twice. I really don't dare to say it bluntly in the scene in my next dream. When a man is about to die, his words are good. ”

"Zhongde, you have a good rest. Lonely and on official business. Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao knew that Cheng Yu was for his good, but Cao Cao still had a bottom line as a man.

Cheng Yu nodded helplessly, he seemed to see the ending of Cao Cao's future.

Cheng Yu could only follow Cao Cao's meaning in the end and said: "It is really a blessing to follow the lord for many years. I only hope that I can continue to follow the lord in the next life. ”

"Zhongde, don't talk nonsense. Rest well. Cao Cao said softly.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes with a smile, and then made no sound at all.

Cao Cao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he thought of a very bad possibility. Cao Cao tested Cheng Yu's mouth and nose with his hand and found that he was not breathing.
