Chapter 224 Cao Paopao is about to run away again.

Chapter 224: Cao Paopao is about to run away again.

The affairs of the world depend on me, I am in charge now, who dares not to follow me...

It was just a light sentence, but it was like a mountain, suppressing all of Cao Cao's anger.

Cao Cao was stunned, and the scene from that year seemed to reappear before his eyes...

In Luoyang,
In the Xiangguo Mansion,
In front of all the officials,

In front of himself and Yuan Benchu,

The majestic and powerful old man who came from Xiliang drew his sword and roared at the entire Han Dynasty: "The affairs of the world are under my control. I will do it now. Who dares not to obey?"

In a trance,
The figure of the majestic old man seemed to merge with the young man on the top of the city wall...

Cao Cao suddenly woke up, his face becoming even uglier. How could Liu Zilie not know the story of Dong Zhuo in the past? This bastard clearly did this on purpose.

He became Dong Zhuo, and I became Yuan Benchu?

"Ha~" Cao Mengde said sarcastically, "You Liu Zilie want to learn from Dong Zhongying and compare me to Yuan Benchu. What a great ambition! But Yuan Benchu ​​also said something back then."

"The affairs of the world are in the hands of the emperor and his loyal ministers. You are just..."

"That's right. The affairs of the world are in the hands of the emperor and the loyal ministers!" Liu Wu interrupted Cao Cao and suddenly changed the subject: "However, I am the emperor's brother, the emperor is close to me, and all the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty in the world have gathered under my command."

"You, Cao Mengde, are nothing more than a usurper in the eyes of the world, so what?"

A usurper!
In front of the two armies, these four words resounded in everyone's ears. Even many of Cao's soldiers secretly turned their heads and looked at their lord.

It is true that you are the Prime Minister of Han.

It is true that you risked your life for the Han Dynasty and exterminated the rebels.

But can these things conceal the fact that you, Cao Mengde, are a usurper?
Liu Wu's sword stabbed Cao Cao's most vulnerable part, which he was most afraid to show to others.

Liu Wu's slap made Cao Mengde see stars.

Creak~
Boundless anger burned every nerve of Cao Cao. He was shaking all over and his face turned red: "Traitor!"

"Evil thief!"

"A person with wolfish ambitions!"

"I am a loyal and good man of the Han Dynasty! If I were not here, I wonder how many people would claim to be emperors..."

"You traitor..."

Cao Cao suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and pretended to draw the sword, ready to lead his troops to attack the pass.

“Cao Mengde!!” Liu Wu’s voice was like thunder and lightning, shocking Cao Mengde into a trance: “Is your sword sharper than my halberd?!!”

Liu Zilie is the most courageous general in the world, and now he has a large army gathered together.

If I take action now, I will be the one at a disadvantage!

This loud shout made Cao Mengde sober up instantly. The longer he entangled with Liu Wu, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Withdraw troops immediately!
Xilulu~
Cao Cao made a prompt decision, turned his horse around, and pointed his finger at Liu Wu: "Liu Zilie! Just wait! I will report to the emperor! Right and wrong will be judged by the public!"

He was the King of Wei and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, it was impossible for him to retreat because of fear of Liu Wu.

But it was reasonable that the King of Wei was slandered by his colleagues and was anxious to return to Xuchang to ask the emperor to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

"How ridiculous!" Liu Wu looked at Cao Cao coldly, "Han Wenyue has already surrendered to me, and I am here in Tongguan. Not only did you, Cao Mengde, lead your troops to besiege him, but now you have the nerve to go to the emperor to complain?
"It's unbearable!"

This Liu Wushen entered Tongguan without anyone noticing. If Wei Yan hadn't told me today, how could I have thought that Han Sui would surrender to him?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao almost had the urge to curse...

"Liu Zilie! How would I know when you entered Tongguan? How can you blame me for this?" "Ahem, King Wei is wrong!" Han Sui, who was beside Liu Wu, coughed lightly: "King Wei, don't forget that the letter asking for help from Tongguan was intercepted by King Wei. That day, King Wei personally took the letter to Tongguan to show off, and even trampled on it under his iron hoof..."

"Even if the King of Wei really forgot, Han Sui never forgot."

Cao Cao's old face turned completely black. He really couldn't refute this statement, but who could have expected that Han Sui, who had always been cunning and insidious, would suddenly become an honest man that day and actually send a real letter?
Who would dare to take the contents of the letter as true?

Cao Cao still wants to distinguish...

But Liu Wu didn't give him a chance: "Cao Mengde! You wanted to murder me. There are witnesses and evidence. What else do you have to say?"

"You have conspired to murder the King of Chu, the emperor's brother. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Boom~
Liu Wu suddenly waved his hand forward, as if he had pushed down thousands of mountains and valleys: "All soldiers in Tongguan, listen up, the army will advance and take Cao thief directly!!"

……

……

"kill!"

"My king has ordered us to attack Cao the thief directly!!"

boom! ~
Outside Tongguan City, the boundless army, like a raging wave, rushed towards the Cao army on the opposite side.

Dust was flying and shouts of killing were deafening.

Ge Hai's spears, with the force of thunder, suddenly pressed towards the opponent.

The four generals of Jiangdong personally led the black mass of Danyang soldiers to the front.

The Bai'er soldiers and Shanyue soldiers were unwilling to fall behind. Their long spears, large shields, short halberds and battle axes formed a silver tide under the sunlight and rushed towards the large banner with the word "Wei" on it.

"kill!"

"Don't let Cao Mengde go!"

"The one under the banner is Cao Cao!"

dong dong dong~
On the top of Tongguan City, the sound of war drums became more and more intense, urging people to fight the enemy.

The Wu-Chu coalition forces all looked enthusiastic, and bravely rushed towards Cao's army!

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last battle outside Tongguan. After this battle, it will be difficult for them to gain military merit in the Guanzhong area.

"King of Wei! Liu Zilie's men will be here soon. You must make a quick decision without any delay!"

"Prime Minister, give the order to fight!"

"Although Liu Zilie has occupied Tongguan, we still have more than 100,000 troops, so we can still fight."

"King Wei..."

The generals of Cao's army surrounded Cao Mengde, sweating profusely, and urged their lord to order the war.

Whether or not we can win the battle is another matter. The enemy's army is already charging towards us and will arrive soon. If we don't meet them head-on, we will become fish on their chopping board!
Looking at the huge enemy army on the opposite side, which was like a wave rushing towards him, Cao Mengde was already thirsty...

The soldiers under Liu Wu were already brave, and now they had joined forces with the Xiliang soldiers. With the help of the Xiliang cavalry, Liu Wu was like a tiger with wings!
Besides, their morale is high now...

I can’t beat myself!
At least we can't defeat them now, and our army must not fight them in the field!
"Prime Minister! We must not fight at this moment!"

Xun You and Cheng Yu led a group of counselors and squeezed through the generals to get to Cao Cao's side:
"Our army has already divided its troops to confront Wei Yan... and there are more than 100,000 soldiers from Xiliang in Tongguan, plus Liu Wu's own troops. At this time, the soldiers under Liu Wu's command are more than those of the Prime Minister!"

"Most of the Xiliang soldiers are light cavalry, coming and going like the wind. Now they have joined forces with Liu Wu's elite soldiers, which is very disadvantageous to our army!"

"Our army has been besieging Tongguan for several days, but Liu Wu has entered Tongguan without knowing when. He must have been planning for a long time. I'm afraid his preparations are far more than this. It's really too risky to fight him now!"

"King Wei, there is no time to lose! Retreat!"
