Chapter 70 The Enemy Surrendered(1/2)
The highlands of Wei State.
Along the twenty-meter-high wall, a middle-aged man wearing scarlet blood armor, carrying his hands on his back, looking at the endless canyon, with a dark red pupil, a throbbing edge hidden deep.
At some point in the sky, a few petals floated, and a peerless and charming woman appeared behind him like a ghost.
Cao Cao turned around and looked at Diao Chan with red eyes. He seemed to have expected this situation: "Is that person really unwilling to come?"
Diao Chan didn't speak, and her beautiful face was full of lovely loss.
"Young man." Cao Cao shook his head. For him, love is far less powerful and more tempting than power.
Diao Chan was still silent, just looking at the direction he came back with nostalgia.
The two of them stood quietly on the high wall, with their own thoughts and looking at the canyon from afar.
After a while, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Have you seen that vanguard named Wang Yao?"
"When I rushed over, I saw another soldier, and it should be him." Diao Chan replied softly.
"What do you think?"
"He has a very special aura, which is very similar to a hero, but not as strong as a hero."
Cao Cao was silent for a moment: "I just saw Lu Bu returning to the high ground with a surplus of blood. Was they injured?"
"Yes." Diao Chan nodded absent-mindedly.
"There are actually soldiers in this world who can compete with heroes? Such a genius actually fell into the hands of Shu Kingdom, which is a pity." Cao Cao's mouth curled a deep smile. He turned around, glanced at Diao Chan, who was still lonely, and then put away his smile.
"When I hired you, I never had a direct contact with that person, but I knew that for a person who has ambition and responsibility in my heart, even the closest person could not stop him from wanting to realize his ambitions. Diao Chan, do you understand what I said?"
Diao Chan raised her face and looked at the bloody hero in front of her with a complicated expression.
Cao Cao turned his eyes to the distant canyon and said meaningfully: "Everything in the world has its own destined trajectory and ending, and some things, even if they are forced, are destined to be futile."
After all the words, Diao Chan burst into tears.
"I am tired. I don't want to fight this war anymore..."
Cao Cao nodded. He understood that this woman, who was exhausted, had no fighting spirit at this moment.
"I will order the army to withdraw to Luoyang later."
"Thank you, King Wei." Diao Chan bowed slightly and was about to turn around and leave.
"Diao Chan." Behind her, Cao Cao called her.
"I fought such a war and lost thousands of troops. A defense tower was destroyed, just to help you find someone. Although the result was not satisfactory, I still hope that you will not forget the promise you made before coming to the canyon."
Diao Chan was silent.
All of this is just a deal.
Cao Cao looked at the charming and beautiful woman in front of him, but his heart was already throbbing under his expression.
Cao Cao has always been eager to get Diao Chan, not only because Diao Chan is a mage hero who is enough to compete with Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom, but also because Lu Bu has always been infatuated with this beautiful woman.
The unparalleled demon who is the best of the Three Kingdoms has always been extremely arrogant and rebellious. He has never tolerated anyone in his eyes, and even ignored Cao Cao's orders. However, such a man accidentally listened to Diao Chan's words.
In other words, as long as you can get Diao Chan, it is equivalent to getting the shackles that control Lu Bu!
However, no matter how many jewelry and jade Cao Cao gave or how many treatments he treated him comparable to the royal family, he could never impress Diao Chan and was always rejected by Diao Chan.
But all this turned around a month ago.
By chance, Cao Cao learned some news that the woman whom he dreamed of was always looking for someone in private, and this person seemed to be a soldier in Shu Kingdom!
Cao Cao knew that the country of Wei and Shu were separated by 100,000 demon-like mountains. The journey was long and dangerous, and few could pass it. The only shortcut between the two countries was the canyon battlefield.
So, Cao Cao, who was very cunning, deliberately revealed the news to Diao Chan, and Diao Chan, who was eager to find the one he loved, naturally made an agreement with Cao Cao.
Now, the time to fulfill the agreement has finally come!
"Dance girl Diao Chan is willing to be loyal to the King of Wei."
The woman who was overwhelmed by the Three Kingdoms leaned down and half-kneeled in front of the bloody hero.
Cao Cao smiled.
The thick and long laughter slowly spread throughout the canyon dyed red by the sea of blood.
What's wrong with losing a war?
A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
A war brought him the loyalty of two heroes who were inappropriate invincible courage.
How happy!
What you want has been obtained.
This war.
That's it.
The bloody hero returned, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the canyon battlefield filled with smoke again. The sharp eyes of the phoenix as sword were shining with a strange dark red light.
The next time we fight again, it will be the time when the mountains and rivers are broken!!
————————————————————
The road is long.
A thick black dot was slowly moving.
Zhao Yun carried Wang Yao on his back and walked towards Shu step by step.
It’s not that Zhao Yun was in a minor state, but because Wang Yao was in too serious injuries, he had no strength to walk.
In order to prevent Lu Bu from rushing back with the Black Armored Army, Zhao Yun could only rush back with Wang Yao on his back.
Along the way, both of them were silent in a tacit understanding. After this battle side by side, they both had a certain understanding of each other, but that was just a superficial understanding.
Wang Yao "knows" that Zhao Yun is a hero. (In fact, I have known it for a long time)
Zhao Yun also felt that Wang Yao was not an ordinary soldier.
That's all.
Both sides are still not at the heart-to-heart.
Just like two people playing chess, although they know the strength of each other briefly, no one will take the initiative to expose their chess routes and plans.
It was not until he withdrew from the enemy's range and was about to be separated from the troops that Zhao Yun stumbled and said, "I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"I will." Wang Yao agreed directly.
Zhao Yun turned his head slightly and looked at the soldier lying on his shoulder strangely.
For Zhao Yun, this little soldier is too magical. Normally, if a little soldier knows his true identity, then he will not be known to everyone in the world when he returns?
But this soldier agreed to his request almost without thinking. It seemed that he had been accustomed to his true identity!
What shocked Zhao Yun even more was that during the battle with Lu Bu, the soldier's extraordinary performance.
Not only did he get killed by several of Lu Bu's skills, he could even perfectly cooperate with his skills and repeatedly repel Lu Bu's severe damage. If Diao Chan hadn't come, I'm afraid the two of them could have really killed the hero of the first tank of the Three Kingdoms!
Is there a soldier like this in the world?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but try to ask: "I can feel an unusual aura on you. Could it be that you are... a hero?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hero, I'm just an ordinary soldier."
Wang Yao smiled and said, "Old Zhao, you can't be so cunning. If you want to get my foundation, should you explain to me first, what do you want to do as a hero dressed as a soldier? And what is the terrifying organization you are talking about?"
Zhao Yun turned his head and said speechlessly.
He suddenly understood why Lu Bu was targeting this soldier like this.
Without answering the questions, I turned my head and asked a bunch of incisive questions. This guy is indeed a bit annoying!
Looking at Zhao Yun who was silent again, Wang Yao didn't care. He was not in a hurry anyway, but he was very interested in the matter between Zhao Yun and Diao Chan.
"Then you can always tell me how you met the beauty just now, right?" Wang Yao asked.
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that these things could not involve some of his secrets, so he began to talk.
"I have known her since childhood. We are both war orphans. Before the Three Kingdoms were still in power, there were chaos in the world and our parents died in the war. Later, by chance, we met. Maybe because we were both lonely, we were together naturally."
A rare gentle look appeared on Zhao Yunbanzheng's face: "That girl, I have liked to follow my butt since I was a child. We have done many things that I think are funny when I look back on, but at that time, it was not easy for two children to survive in troubled times, so we later became mercenaries together, and by chance we met another companion and formed a team with that companion."
Zhao Yun's blue eyes fell into confusion, like a down-and-out man who was commemorating his youth: "Later, the reputation of the three of us began to spread far and there were many followers. After the efforts of the three of us, in just three years, our team gradually began to grow and eventually became a large mercenary army that was the most powerful mercenary army in that era. During that period, even some warlord forces that dominated one side would pay high prices to invite us to fight for them..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped. Wang Yao, who was fascinated by hearing this, couldn't help but urge: "Continue talking!"
"I can't tell you what's next." Zhao Yun said lightly.
Wang Yao: "...Old Zhao, is it interesting for you to do this?"
Zhao Yun ignored Wang Yao, who was covered in black lines, and continued: "In short, our mercenary group was disbanded later, and I also learned a terrible 'truth' at that time. In order to confirm whether this truth really exists, I came to Shu Kingdom."
the truth?
Wang Yao was confused when he heard it, but just as Wang Yao was hesitating that even if Zhao Yun could not say it, he had to try to ask, and suddenly a call came from the front.
