Looking at the bloody wooden box, Cao Cao actually guessed what was inside.

But he was unwilling to accept the cruel reality. Still holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he stood up and walked down the steps tremblingly.

Step by step, he walked towards the blood box.

The moment he reached out and wanted to open the wooden box~.

Xun Yu suddenly stepped forward to stop him and shouted:

"Don't open it, Your Majesty, don't open it!"

With Xun Yu's resourcefulness, he could certainly guess what was in the blood box.

He couldn't bear to have Cao Cao open it with his own hands, and suffer another heavy blow to his spirit and will.

After all, Cao Cao had just vomited blood, and it was really hard to endure it. I can't afford a second serious injury.

If Cao Cao were angered to death on the spot, everything would be over.

"Step aside!"

Cao Cao shouted at him in a deep voice.

Xun Yu did not give in and remained in front of Cao Cao.

"Get out of my way!"

Cao Cao roared again and pushed Xun Yu away hard.

This push was too hard and pushed Xun Yu directly to the ground.

At this point, there was no way Xun Yu could stop him.

He could only lie down. On the ground, he kept shaking his head and watched helplessly as Cao Cao opened the blood box little by little.

A bloody head suddenly hit Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Cao's heart almost jumped into his throat.

He was still holding on to the last trace. Fantasy, hoping that the head was not what he imagined.

So he held his breath, widened his eyes, and looked at the head carefully with uneasiness.

His body was frozen, his face was distorted, and his eyes were wide open. Cracked.

Who else is more familiar with that face than him?

Cao Ang, his eldest son, his favorite, the son who is most like him.

At this moment, his head is so bloody, lying in the cold wooden box Hit.

Dead!

Cao Ang is dead.

Killed by Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, his lifelong enemy!

"Anger~~"

"The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable!"

"I want to kill you, I want to kill you, to avenge my son——"

Cao Cao knelt down on the ground, holding his son's head in his hands, and cried to the ground in grief and indignation. on the steps.

Ding's last hope was shattered. She screamed and fell to the ground.

"queen!"

All the ministers on the left and right were shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly came forward to help.

At this moment,

Cao Cao was filled with anger and blood. He looked up to the sky again and screamed in grief, and fell to the ground.

"King, King!"

The ministers exclaimed again, and turned to pounce on Cao Cao.

In the palace, it was a mess.

The ministers were in a hurry, helping Ding and Cao Cao, and calling the medical officer to come.

Only Xun Yu was frozen on the spot, watching the chaos.

"It seems that after all, I was self-righteous and thought I could help Meng De turn the tide again."

"In the end, I was still like a clown, being played by Deng Mu, who reduced Meng De to this level."

"Could it be that I really took the wrong path?"

Xun Yu murmured to himself, walked out of the palace silently, and looked towards the direction of Yanying outside the city.

The nightmare quickly spread from the palace to the outside.

The soldiers and civilians in the city all heard the shocking news.

"Did you hear that all our 400,000 grains were robbed by the Yan army, and our grain supply will be cut off?"

"Isn't that right? I also heard that the prince was also killed by King Yan."

"really?"

"That's still fake. I heard that King Yan also sent the prince's head back to King Wei. King Wei was so angry that he fainted on the spot."

"So what should we do? How can we defend Yecheng?"

"Not to mention that Yecheng cannot be defended, our Wei State may also be destroyed."

"No wonder they all said that King Liu Bei of Yan was the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu, and he was destined to recreate the great Han Dynasty." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Yes, I heard about it too. It seems like it’s true."

"Then do we still have to work hard for Cao Wei?"

"I think it’s better to make plans in advance and don’t look for a way out."

All over the city, the soldiers and civilians were talking incessantly, and people's hearts were in a state of confusion.

In the sleeping hall.

When Cao Cao woke up again, it was already dark

"Anger!"

He straightened up and sat up suddenly.

"My condolences, Your Majesty!"

"Don't ever get angry"

"Your Majesty's body is related to the survival of our Wei Dynasty, so you must take care of yourself."

When the ministers saw that Cao Cao had woken up, they hurriedly rushed forward and began to persuade him.

Obviously, they were frightened by Cao Cao's two fainting deaths, and they were afraid that Cao Cao would think of Cao Ang's death and be fainted a third time. passed[]

This third time he fainted, I was afraid that Cao Cao would die.

Under the persuasion of all the ministers.

Cao Cao took several breaths and finally controlled his surging blood pressure without fainting again.

"appeal——"

After taking a long breath, Cao Cao finally calmed down.

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief

"Wen Ruo, at this point, do you still have a way to turn things around?"

Cao Cao did not blame Xun Yu, and had to sadly ask Xun Yu for advice.

Although at this time, he roughly guessed Xun Yu's answer, he still asked with a trace of luck.

"Your Majesty, those 400,000 bushels of grain and grass are the grain and grass we got from the two states of Youji."

"If this batch of grain and grass is lost, we can only mobilize it from Guanzhong"

"But the road to Guanzhong is far away and transportation is inconvenient. It takes at least three or four months from raising money to transporting it to Yecheng."

"I have less than a month of food and grass left in Yecheng."

"If we insist on defending Yecheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive that day at all, and we will have to..."

Xun Yu sighed and said no more.

Cao Cao understood what Xun Yu meant, sighed bitterly, and asked again:

"So in your opinion, what should I do now?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts, raised his head and looked at Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, give up Yecheng, give up Youji, and retreat to the west."

"In this way, we can still keep 70,000 soldiers and horses"

"Although Youji was lost during the Jie Dynasty, we could still keep Bingzhou, occupy the danger of Taihang Mountain, and form a condescending trend towards Youji."

"And on the front line of Guanzhong, we have the danger of the Yellow River in Tongguan"

"Our geographical advantage is enough to offset Liu Bei's military advantage."

"After our army regains its strength, we can seize the opportunity to send troops south to capture the Hanzhong and Shu lands and completely occupy Yizhou."

"If we can capture Yizhou, we can greatly make up for the loss of Youji and the loss of our great Wei national strength."

"From now on, we will confront Liu Bei from east to west. When the world changes, your Majesty will still have a chance to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world!".
