Chapter 350 Mengde, Farewell! (Yuan Shao's End)
Guo Tu Mansion
Looking out the window at the wind that sometimes picked up and sometimes stopped, Guo Tu rubbed his hands and said:
"Why do I have this feeling that a storm is brewing?"
"Could it be that I've been too anxious lately?"
Since Yuan Shao's defeat at the Battle of Guandu, Guo Tu has kept a much lower profile.
Guo Jia's "sudden disappearance" also made him realize that Guo Jia had been an undercover agent from beginning to end!
For a while.
Guo Tu began to seriously doubt his own judgment.
As a result, Guo Tu has been confining himself to his residence recently.
I stay home unless absolutely necessary, and my main goal is to avoid socializing and be a homebody.
But as Yuan Shao's condition worsened, Guo Tu, whose sense of smell was as sharp as a wild dog's, also caught a whiff of conspiracy.
He called the butler to his side and asked:
"How has the Third Young Master been lately?"
The butler, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself, cupped his hands and said:
“Master, the Third Young Master has been leaving early and returning late these days, and has been staying at Shen Pei’s residence almost all the time.”
"Should we approve the use of this?"
A deep sense of apprehension flickered in Guo Tu's eyes.
During the Battle of Guandu, Xu You would never have surrendered to Cao Cao if not for being forced by Shen Pei.
and.
Shen Pei served as the magistrate of Ye City for many years.
Inside and outside Ye City, almost all officials, big and small, had some connection with Shen Pei.
If Yuan Shao were to die, and Shen Pei were to blockade Ye City, no one would be able to escape!
"No! I, Guo, must go to the eldest young master's place!"
"Ye City is no longer safe."
Guo Tu truly deserves to be called the master of rhythm in Yuan Ying's camp.
Realizing that their lives were in danger, they immediately began planning an escape route.
But it's a pity.
Guo Tu's schemes were ultimately no match for the wicked heart of a woman.
This day.
Yuan Shao summoned Chunyu Qiong and chatted with him in the room for a long time, entrusting Chunyu Qiong with some final matters.
Seeing Chunyu Qiong come out, Liu smiled slightly at him.
Chunyu Qiong responded with a cold face.
He had absolutely no good feelings towards the Liu family.
In her heart, the sister-in-law will always be Yuan Shao's first wife, "Zhang Shi".
Watching Chunyu Qiong walk away, Madam Liu waved to the maid behind her, who immediately turned and left.
Carrying the medicine, Madam Liu entered the room.
"Big brother, it's time to take your medicine!"
Lady Liu, with her alluring eyes, stirred the medicine with a spoon as she moved closer to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was holding an ancient book and was unaware of Lady Liu's strange behavior.
Well, even if they realized it, they might just think that Madam Liu wanted to... you know.
after all.
He was considerably older than Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu is not yet forty years old, which is the time when she is most energetic in a certain aspect.
Yuan Shao didn't even put down the ancient book he was holding; he opened his mouth and slowly drank the medicine that Lady Liu fed him.
"Pfft!"
A sudden, excruciating pain caused Yuan Shao to collapse to the ground.
That ancient book was also contaminated with poisonous medicine.
"you you……"
With his last breath, Yuan Shao pointed at Lady Liu.
At that moment, his mind was racing.
A brilliant yet regretful life flashed by like a slideshow.
"Mengde, I'm here for you, brother!"
"Don't be afraid. Even if we're caught spying on the widow, I'll cover your retreat!"
"Damn! Mengde! You're faster than a rabbit! You're destined for greatness!"
"Should I become my uncle's adopted son?"
"This……"
"Does that mean I can no longer call my father 'father'?"
"Was it the elders' suggestion? Alright then..."
"Madam, the doctor said our child is very healthy, and he will definitely grow up to be a strong and upright man!"
"Let's call her Tan'er. I searched through ancient books for a long time before finding a suitable name."
"My lady... what will I do if you leave?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll marry her; Fourth Uncle, I'll do whatever you say."
"Tan'er, don't worry, as long as your father is here, he will protect you!"
"That old traitor Dong Zhuo! He's corrupting the court!"
"My sword is not without its weaknesses!"
"Mengde, you're too kind. Since I'm the leader of the alliance, then you should be my advisor!"
"Mengde, you little brat, do you really think your brother is so easy to fool? Fine, fine, I won't hold it against you."
"All troops, listen to my command! Follow me and kill!!!"
"White Horse Cavalry? Ha! Qu Yi, you lead the Vanguard Death Squad to ambush the rear of the army. I, Yuan Shao, will personally act as your bait!"
"Yuan Shu...declared himself emperor? How foolish!"
"Gongsun Bogui was a respectable opponent, but it's a pity we couldn't find his complete body."
“Ju Shou…you…”
"Archers, prepare yourselves! Do not linger in battle!"
"So, in the end... I, Yuan Benchu, still couldn't win?"
"Mengde, the world is in your hands now."
"You'd better... take good care of it!"
The sword hanging on the wall behind Yuan Shao crashed to the ground.
The sword, which should have been incredibly sturdy, was now emitting its final roar.
But when Madam Liu approached, the sword had already shattered into several pieces.
……
Xuchang
Sikong Mansion
Why does my chest suddenly hurt so much?
Cao Cao clutched his chest, a sharp pain nearly causing him to faint.
Startled, Dian Wei quickly sent someone to summon Su Yu, Cao Ang, and Zhang Zhongjing.
"Father!"
"Lord!"
Cao Ang, Su Yu, and Dian Wei supported Cao Cao from the left, right, and back, while Zhang Zhongjing took Cao Cao's pulse.
After taking his pulse, Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said:
"My lord is not ill."
“Even my headaches have long been cured.”
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case..."
Su Yu looked thoughtful.
I have some guesses in my mind.
Mr. Cao can now be considered a true winner in life.
Cao Song, the elderly father, lived out his days in Xuchang and did not die in Xuzhou.
Lady Ding was Cao Cao's first love and original wife; she did not divorce him.
The eldest son, Cao Ang, was quite capable and also very filial. He did not die in the battle of Wancheng.
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were all sons with good aptitude.
In particular, Cao Pi recently underwent his coming-of-age ceremony ahead of schedule and went to assist Cao Ang in his office as Minister of Justice.
In just one or two months, it has already demonstrated impressive domestic management capabilities.
It should be noted that Cao Pi's posthumous title was "Emperor Wen".
Throughout history, every emperor who was called Emperor Wen was capable.
If Mr. Cao has any regrets, they are all minor ones.
This is so much better than in the original history!
Oh right, and Dian Wei is still alive and well too.
They can even eat five or six bowls of rice and a dozen or so chicken legs in one meal!
The only thing that could elicit such a reaction from Cao Cao.
Considering the timeline, perhaps only Yuan Shao in the north could be considered a match for him.
Five days later.
An urgent message arrived from the intelligence corps: Yuan Shao had died of illness in Ye City at the age of forty-nine.
There will never be another General Yuan!
……
PS: Yuan Shao is an important character who appears from the very first chapter and is described in a great deal of detail; he is practically a character who appears throughout the entire story.
The author did not write according to the foolish image of Yuan Shao in the novel, but tried to restore his positive image according to the official history.
But even after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must eventually part ways; our main characters are, after all, Su Yu and Boss Cao.
Dear godfathers, please send some gifts and leave some book reviews. The author will be adding an extra chapter later!
