1161 Dying Requests
"General!" Everyone shouted and stepped forward, only to see that Zhang Liao was breathing weakly, his eyes were closed, and he had fallen into a deep coma.
The accompanying military doctor hurriedly dealt with Zhang Liao's arrow wound, and at this time, Lujiang City had been completely lost, and everyone wiped their tears, carried Zhang Liao, and entered Lujiang City.
For several days, Zhang Liao never woke up, the water and rice did not enter, and there was no meat on his body, only a crumpled skin remained. Moreover, Zhang Liao did not have the expected high fever, but his body was cold, two more thick quilts were added, and the stove was raised early in the house, and the temperature of his limbs was still very low, which was worrying.
Cao Pi, who had already arrived in Hexi, was so anxious when he heard the news that he rushed over without stopping.
"But I don't want General Wenyuan to take the Lujiang River without authorization, which is bound to anger Sun Quan." Liu Ye, the doctor who followed Cao Pi, said with a little dissatisfaction.
"The relationship between me and General Wen Yuan, how can it be comparable to Sun Zhongmou's honey-bellied sword, if Wen Yuan is lost, I will definitely set foot in Jiangdong, don't say more!" Cao Pi said coldly.
Liu Ye was so frightened that he closed his mouth, and the group came day and night, and finally arrived in Lujiang two days later.
Zhang Liao was still in a coma, his complexion was dark, revealing the situation of the next life, Cao Pi came straight to him, held Zhang Liao's hand with tears, and called softly: "General Wenyuan, I'm Zihuan, I'm coming to see you!" β
Zhang Liao's eyes were closed tightly, there was no response, Cao Pi's heart was broken, and he continued to shout, and his throat was hoarse and he couldn't care to drink a sip of water.
"Hehe, Wen Yuan, Zihuan has been calling you, you better hurry up and say hello to him and come back!" Zhang Liao in the dream was pushed by Cao Cao, and finally, his fingers moved, he opened his eyes slightly, and sure enough, he saw Cao Pi sitting beside him with tears on his face.
"General Wenyuan, you're finally awake." Cao Pi wiped his tears and said.
"Zihuan!" Zhang Liao muttered.
Cao Pi has long been the Son of Heaven, this title is obviously disrespectful, but at this time, Cao Pi didn't care about his identity at all, and responded repeatedly: "I am Zihuan!" General, take care of yourself! β
Zhang Liao's eyes were dazed, delirious, raised a thin hand, Cao Pi hurriedly leaned his face over, Zhang Liao just touched it, and asked suspiciously: "Zihuan, why do you also show your old state?"
Cao Pi smiled with tears in his eyes, and said against his will: "Zihuan is close to the age of not being confused, why is he not old, how can he compare to the general's courage and incomparable ability, and he will not lose back then!" β
Zhang Liao smiled when he heard this, the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes were stretched, and he snorted: "Zihuan, I have been fighting with your father for more than 30 years, and I am like a brother. Alas, I saw Cao Gong just now, he wanted to invite me to tea, why did he blink and disappear? It's a pity that I'm old and sick, and I'm in a hurry, but I can't go! β
"The general doesn't have to go, when the general gets better, Zihuan will invite you to tea." Cao Pi hurriedly said, my father has died a long time ago, and inviting Zhang Liao to drink tea is not a good thing at all.
"Cao Gong's intentions, how can you disobey them, be careful not to let him hear this, otherwise you will be punished." Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped drinking, and looked at the door worriedly.
"It's still General Wenyuan who treats Zihuan best, his father is strict, if it weren't for the general's protection, how could Zihuan be where he is today." Cao Pi sighed and held Zhang Liao's hand tighter, tears fell uncontrollably, although he didn't want to face it, he still couldn't help but ask: "Does the general still have something to say to Zihuan?" β
"Something is true. Zihuan, I can't move, please send someone to send me to Yiling, Cao Gong is still waiting for me! Zhang Liao said a little anxiously.
Going to Yiling? Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, because Mao had something to do with Wang Baoyu's stinky boy again? Without waiting for Cao Pi to pinch his face, Zhang Liao's breathing suddenly became short, and the hand holding Cao Pi was forceful, and he turned his head laboriously and said: "Zi, Zihuan, go, go, Yiling, plead, agree." β
"General Wenyuan, I promise, I will do it, and I will never break my word!" Seeing this situation, Cao Pi didn't want Zhang Liao to have regrets before he died, so he nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Liao's eyes closed, a smile appeared on his face, and the hand finally let go of Cao Pi weakly. Amazingly, the shriveled blood vessels were visibly filled again, and the skin was shiny, and even the complexion became rosy, as if sleeping.
No matter how good the appearance is, an indisputable fact is in front of us, a generation of famous generals has fallen.
Cao Pi couldn't wake up Zhang Liao anymore, he lay on top of him, howling and crying, his liver and intestines were broken, and he couldn't pull it open. Among the generals left by Cao Cao, Cao Pi has the deepest relationship with Zhang Liao, and has followed Zhang Liao to learn the art of war since he was a child, and he has followed Zhang Liao several times when he was young.
After the sadness, Cao Pi ordered the three armies to bring filial piety, bury Zhang Liao, and wrap a white cloth around his head to show respect for Zhang Liao.
Lujiang was lost, Lu Fan was captured by Zhang Liao with one arm, Sun Quan, who heard the news, was shocked, and at the same time very ashamed, and the joy of victory in the first battle of Nanjun was suddenly swept away.
As the army continued to return, Sun Quan had gathered 100,000 troops on the south bank, and Cao Pi had no intention of retreating, so he urgently dispatched the generals Xu Huang and Cao Xiu to the north bank, and confronted each other across the river, and the battle between the two armies was about to break out.
"Shengshang, although Liu Bei lost in Nanjun, he did not return to Xishu, and he should not fight Sun Quan at this time." Liu Ye came to see him.
"If General Wen Yuan hadn't been wounded by an arrow, how could he have abandoned me in such a hurry, and this revenge will be avenged!" Cao Pi couldn't listen to it at all, gritted his teeth and vowed to avenge Zhang Liao.
Liu Ye babbled and persuaded for a long time, but Cao Pi just didn't listen, and insisted on beating Sun Quan, so anxious that he had to secretly send a letter to Jia Xu, explaining the situation in detail.
The two armies faced each other for more than half a month, Cao Pi felt that he was ready, and was about to launch a full-scale attack on Sun Quan, but unexpectedly received a letter from Jia Xu.
"Alas, the captain finally remembered me." Cao Pi sighed lightly and unfolded the letter.
"Holy Lord, the old minister is terminally ill, his life is short, looking back on this life, he consciously has a clear conscience, and he has no regrets in his death. Hearing that the saint wanted to fight Jiangdong, the minister thought that it was impossible, although Liu Bei was defeated, his momentum still existed, and Sun Quan was slightly weak, so he should not be underestimated. If the saint attacks Jiangdong, Liu Bei gains power, Jingzhou is lost, and it will eventually become a big disaster. And when the two tigers compete, the strength is weak, and then they are wiped out in one fell swoop, and the world can be determined. The words were inconsiderate and deeply frightened. β
Cao Pi's feelings for Jia Xu naturally needless to say, he is also the person he trusts the most, seeing Jia Xu's letter, Cao Pi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to withdraw from the army and not compete with Sun Quan at this time.
Under Liu Ye's strong advice, Cao Pi sent a letter to Sun Quan, saying that Zhang Liao could shake hands and make peace together, and at the same time put LΓΌ Fan back.
