()Xuzhou, Xiapi

Nearly seven days had passed since the day Li Yunye appeared in Yingchuan, and the news had already spread.

Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others discussed all night. When it was dawn, they set up a couch in the yard and half lay on the couch to rest.

The wind was very gentle, but Cao Cao was very anxious at the moment and couldn't calm down at all.

Xi Zhicai is sick!

Xi Zhicai, who first took refuge in him and gave him advice and whom he regarded as his arm, has been ill for almost half a year. In the first few months, his condition was slightly better, with only a few coughs every day. But by this month, he has already suffered from the disease.

Without food, I could only drink some thin soup.

His face was as pale as a piece of paper, which made Cao Cao worried!

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by an anxious voice, full of trembling:

"Lord, Zhicai is exhausted!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart sank, and he stood up suddenly. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and ran barefoot towards the door: "Zhongde, what's going on?"

How come Cao Cao couldn't hear Cheng Yu's voice? It's precisely because he heard it that his mind was filled with anxiety, worry, and helplessness at this moment, because Cheng Yu has always been like a mountain that collapsed before him without changing, and now

With such anxiety, one can imagine Xi Zhicai's situation.

At this moment, Cheng Yu, who was full of sorrow, also trotted in, his lips trembling slightly: "Zhicai is about to die! He is already vomiting blood! My lord, send Zhicai on his last journey!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he trembled slightly, felt dizzy in his mind, and almost fell down. He quickly held his forehead with his right hand and waved his left hand:

"Go! Go quickly!"

As he said that, with red eyes, he directly picked up his trousers and ran towards where Xi Zhicai was!

Because he was worried about Xi Zhicai's condition, Cao Cao specially arranged for Xi Zhicai to be next to the house where he lived, almost a few steps away.

At this time, although Cao Cao had not entered the house, he could still hear bursts of crying and choking in the house, all of which were the voices of his familiar subordinates in the past.

"Zhicai!" I have to say that the hero is also passionate. Recalling the scenes of talking at night by candlelight and conspiring together for big things, Cao Cao trembled all over, his body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground, his eyes red and rolling.

He jumped in and rushed into the room.

At this moment, Xi Zhi, who was wrapped in a quilt, his face was as pale as a dead person, and he was still vomiting blood, saw Cao Cao rushing in, and forced a smile on his face, "My lord... my lord!"

"Zhicai, don't worry, you will be fine! There are so many strong winds and waves coming, how could something happen?" Cao Cao rushed to the bed, grabbed Xi Zhicai's outstretched hands, and held them tightly.

His fingertips turned white and his whole body trembled.

"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?" Cao Cao looked around the room with red eyes and roared again and again.

On the side, three or four elderly men carrying medicine boxes heard this and leaned over one after another: "I'm waiting here!"

"Four! Four doctors, can't they cure Zhicai?" Cao Cao stared at the four of them with red eyes. His other hand had already been pressed down on the soft sword at his waist. If he said anything, he would draw the sword.

Opposite.

When the four old men saw this, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and their faces turned pale.

"It's not because I'm too old to wait and don't try my best. It's because this gentleman is seriously ill!"

"This gentleman has a sarcoma in his throat, which has caused pathological changes in other organs. Even if the Great God is alive, it will be difficult for him to recover. The general knows this!"

"I have been practicing medicine all my life, but this kind of patient has never had a chance to survive. General, I hope you will spare your life!"

...

One by one, the old men were afraid that Cao Cao would draw his sword in anger, so they suddenly panicked and started to defend themselves in panic.

But who is Cao Cao?

The man who slaughtered a city in anger in history!

Being stirred up by the four people, he felt angry. He drew out the long sword from his waist and was about to kill the four people. Seeing this, Xi Zhi vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood and raised his arm tremblingly: "Lord, let go.

them!"

"roll!"

Cao Cao pushed the four of them to the ground with a push, took back his sword, and looked at Xi Zhicai who was lying on the bed with red eyes.

"Lord, let them go out first, I...I have one last thing to explain!" Xi Zhicai's breath was gone, and his head seemed to be powerless, hanging on the pillow.

"Subordinate, please leave!"

Cheng Yu, Xia Houyuan and other civil and military subordinates gritted their teeth, dragged the four doctors out, and closed the door behind them!

Cao Cao's hands were tightly wrapped around Xi Zhi's arm where the bones were visible, and he struggled for a while, finally letting out a long sigh with his eyes red:

"Zhicai, if you have any last words, say them. Cao Mengde will help you fulfill them even if you bring down the whole world!"

In this world, life and death cannot be controlled by oneself. In addition to the sadness that his old friend is about to leave, Cao Cao also has a feeling of sadness in his heart.

Xi Zhicai struggled to support his body with both hands. With Cao Cao's support, he sat down against the wall, breathing heavily: "Wu Zhaohou is a genius of the generation. Although the lord has great talents, according to Zhicai

It can be seen that they are also between the two, but Wu Zhaohou seizes the opportunity earlier than the lord. I hope the lord will remember to never, never confront Wu Zhaohou in advance! The best... It is best to fight with him in the early stage.

good!

Even if there is a falling out, we must wait until the situation in the world is settled, and the Lord, with the help of Wu Zhaohou's fame, has developed his power to a certain extent, otherwise, it will only become a stepping stone for Wu Zhaohou!"

Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family and lived in poverty all his life. Even when he joined Cao Cao's army, he was extremely simple. He hardly enjoyed any blessings in his life. Even when he was dying, he still thought about Cao Cao.

For a moment, even with Cao Cao's heroic temperament, he couldn't help but have the thought in his heart that you will serve me as a national soldier, and I will treat you as a national soldier. His eyes were red, and he nodded repeatedly:

"Meng De will remember the words of a talented person in his heart!"

A relaxed smile appeared on Xi Zhicai's face, his hands trembled slightly, a sense of tiredness came to his brows, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly: "My lord, please spread Zhicai's ashes in Yingchuan

On this earth, I still remember how high-spirited I was when I left home at the beginning of the year. I was really, really reluctant to leave..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the vitality in his eyes quickly faded, and the arm originally placed on his thigh quietly slipped down!

Pei Songzhi quoted from the "Farewell Biography of Xun Yu" in his annotation of "Playing Zhicai", saying: "It is not a matter of selecting a scholar. Playing Zhicai, Guo Jia and others are ridiculed by the customs."

He was a man of great talent, one who could be compared with geniuses, but it was a pity that he faded away before he could shine!

Cao Cao's hands holding Xi Zhicai's arms fell down weakly. His whole body went limp and he slumped on the ground. Looking at Xi Zhicai's figure, two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly:

"Zhicai, have a good trip!"

A counselor, a counselor who assisted him wholeheartedly, was like a close friend to him, and was a rare counselor in the world. His sudden death was like a sharp knife on Cao Cao's chest!

pain!

The pain makes me tremble all over!
