His heart felt really bad regarding this event, that even speaking hurts his heart so much Cao Cao, pressured by his already depleted provisions, said to hiswar council “This battle must be concluded in two months!!!” And with that order, casualties that Cao Arranted their provisions a ht now Cao Cao is sleeping while working, then said these words deliriously as if he is tapping his historical tin you 2,000-shi+ provisions Zihe, you take 1000-shi+ provisions and launch Tiger Leopard Cavalry Miaocai, take 2000-shi+ of provisions for your long-raid troops and attack the that he has been asleep and held his head Guo Jia is at craftsht now and the only one outside is Xu Chu, so everything is handled by him Out of three people that Cao Cao round and the last one is in Xu Du, still under recovery With that deliriu apart, made Cao Cao’s stress piled up to the top and his head pained again “AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!” Cao Cao is holding his head painfully, his sweat is flowing profusely Even his pen dropped to the floor and now both his hands are holding his head and quickly rolled down on the ground Up till now, he had been receiving attacks like this only 3 times, first hen Lu Bu attacked his Yan Province fro, second hen Liu Bei stabbed hi Xu Province froeneral Che Zhou, the third one is just now
“So to screaained some of his consciousness and slowly moved toward to his Sword of Heaven Some little trivia on this Sword of Heaven, this particular sas found by Cao Cao when he was still studying At that time, he passed the rock with a sword stuck on it (TN: YAY, LEGEND OF EXCALIBUR ALA THREE KINGDOMS) Many people tried to pull it but no avail, Cao Cao then tried it, but only using 3 fingers, his thuer Then he pulled the tip of the hilt and the sword comes out easily When other people saw him pull the sword, everyone kneel down and said that he is the wise ehed at him and said that Cao Cao will indeed become the wise lord, but his son will become emperor as he pulled the sword in half-hearted rasp this nation firers You who pulled this anointed sword half-heartedly, will only create a foundation for your eers, you left dangling, will become your arch-enemies Their surnames are Liu and Sun Best you remember that Hahahahahaha!!!!” Then he disappeared into thin air Such person who laughed at hiave him prophecy was Zuo Ci, one of Three Greatest Taoist of Han Re his head Not to ht now he is halted by Yuan Shao, with no progress at all Cao Cao then put his Sword of Heaven on his neck Better for o to hell, as long as I aht Cao Cao However, when Sword of Heaven is about to be pressed on his neck, suddenly he hallucinated
He saw in front of hi man with his face but his skin is fairer and he is taller than hiretful tone “Oh father, why did you already give up?!” “Ang, ure is Cao Cao’s oldest son Cao Ang who died in Fort Wan Cao Ang was born by Lady Liu, Cao Cao’s first wife She was betrothed to Cao Cao by Cao Song and Ee as she is one of House of Liu clanse is ultih aspiration in his heart However, after having Cao Ang, Lady Liu died because her body is aleak
So, whenever he saw Cao Ang, he always remembered his first wife Lady Liu However, the reason Cao Cao really treasured Cao Ang is because Cao Ang is a very tolerable person When Cao Cao remarried Lady Bian, he did not show disrespect to his newa former prostitute, he obeyed her and loved her as her new mother Lady Bian, in return also imparted her wisdom and loved hiether no ence and likable attitude So even when his 27 other sons were born, Cao Cao never averted his eyes fro reached 20-years-old, he passed Xiaolian exahest score Made Cao Cao proud to no end, so proud that he rarely spoke with envy tone regarding other people’s children However, Cao Cao’s happiness doubled with Zhang Xiu’s er came and said he wanted to surrender Yu Province to hi into the air as he received 20,000 Xiliang Cavalries without even lifting a finger After that, he gave Zhang Xiu a position as Prefect of Luoyang that was held by Dong Xuan previously and gave Jia Xu as Chief of Secretariat
When Cao Cao reached Fort Wan, he beco Xiu’s aunt Lady Zou and it enraged Zhang Xiu Therefore, he consulted Jia Xu and the rest is history as you read it, dear readers Dian Wei got drunk; Fort Wan was assaulted; Cao Cao flee in his paja and Cao An Min sacrificed their lives so that Cao Cao escaped and out of 50,000 troops that Cao Cao brought, only 5,000 returned Cao Cao regretted that day the eneral Dian Wei died for hiacy is lost forever (TN: historically, Cao Cao still got one hter froht? fuck that) Right now, Cao Cao is already 39 years old He is already a ed rets So, when he sent Zhang Xiu to his death by ordering hiate Wuhuan tribe, it is already a hollow victory
Now the already-died Cao Ang appeared in front of him, this event made Cao Cao really excited and screamed “ANG, MY SON!!! IT IS REALLY YOU!!!!” All this while holding his hand Cao Ang’s eyes is full of sadness and said “Oh, father You really going to give up this foundation that you built fro this country?!”
“Ang, my son Father is tired Father already sick and tired of this very life This ’s hand Cao Cao has been utterly tired, battling nonstop since Yellow Turban Rebellion, continued with Dong Zhuo Uprising and kept battling almost non-stop for almost 10 years until now, Battle of Guandu He is also tired, being accused by everyone as a traitor Traitor Cao, Cao the Thief, Cao Ahman the unloyal, those are the small portions of the insults he had to bear He had been trying so hard to be loyal to Han Dynasty, to the Han Emperor, however the more he tried to be loyal, theZhuo to everyone else
“Ang, ed to be reunited again with you and your mother once more!” Said Cao Cao with very bitter tone Suddenly in front of Cao Cao, appeared his wife Lady Liu, his father Cao Song, his general Cao Chun, all bearing sad expression Ah, everyone is here to pickaway to sleep
Cao Ang shook his head and said “Father, you cannot go yet!!! You cannot co,you?! Or do you think this father of yours is unworthy of dying peacefully?!” Cao Cao still think that his son is still vengeful as his death is caused by his own lust “No, father, not that!!!” Cao Ang shook his head and continued “Father, you still wield great cause and it yet to be coet about that!!!” After saying that Cao Ang and the others figure disappear and Cao Cao is actually holding his own clothing
