Chapter 211 Sima (Part )

Because the incident happened suddenly, when most of the black soldiers finally reacted, everything was already a foregone conclusion; facing the two fiercely charging 2 Da, as the two top existences of "king" and "hero", Cao Cao easily subdued them with just a raise of his hand!

But even so, the black soldiers were still stunned by 2da's crazy behavior. They were small soldiers, and usually when facing cruel heroes in the canyon, they would try their best to avoid them. Who would rush forward like this without caring about their lives?

Almost in an instant, everyone became more certain that this soldier from Shu Kingdom was either crazy or he didn't want to live!

In fact, 2da has indeed abandoned life and death.

He was heartbroken by the girl's death and despaired at his brothers' numbness and inaction, but he hated Cao Cao even more for planning this war and causing all these tragic consequences!

Why start a war? Why take the lives of fellow soldiers? What good will this do for the heroes who are already at the top of the world?
The confusion made 2da deeply resentful and made him forget his desire to survive.

So even though Cao Cao held his head with one hand and he could not move forward, Erda still grabbed Cao Cao's wrist with his backhand and tried his best to break free and fight again, but
There is no hope.

The palm of Cao Cao's hand on his head was like an absolute shackle, completely suppressing all his ability to move, and no matter how much he resisted, it was useless.

Finally, Erda stopped his futile struggle, but the resentment was still surging in his chest and he couldn't get rid of it!

Just like that, with his head held by Cao Cao, 2da lowered his head, opened his eyes wide with tears still on them, and roared angrily.

"Maomao, Shiliang, Xiaoye, Suan! They joined the 1026th Squadron of the Shu Kingdom's Upper Legion in 48 AD. In the past two years, they have fought bravely against the Wu Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom, fought 395 battles, and killed 2 enemies! Just today, they were all killed in the Wei Kingdom's highlands. I am their comrade-in-arms, the nd Captain of the Shu Kingdom's Lower Legion. Now, I want to avenge them!!"

Under the starry sky, in the square, 2da explained in a sad and hoarse voice hysterically the identity, purpose, and the brilliant achievements of his partners!
The black soldiers who were watching were all silent.

They suddenly realized that this fearless soldier was actually a comrade-in-arms of the enemy force that bravely fought against their 10,000-strong army on the high ground today.

Thinking of this, all the black soldiers in the square stood in awe, because of 2 Da's loyalty and righteousness in invading the border alone, and also because of that army, although it was an enemy, it was extremely tenacious!

Just at this moment, Cao Cao's deep voice came from above his head.

"Great! You have the courage to come here alone wearing the armor of Shu. You are really brave."

Cao Cao looked down at Erda and said calmly: "But, with your strength, there is no possibility of defeating me."

2Da roared with a sinister look in his eyes: "I know that we, the little soldiers, cannot compete with you heroes, but I just want you to understand that I, 2Da, will be your enemy for the rest of my life, and I will fight to the death!!"

The temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Zhen Ji's expression changed instantly. As she raised her slender hand, an extremely cold micro-river composed of water elements immediately flowed around her white wrist. "Little soldier, watch your words. Who do you think you are talking to?!"

Cao Cao, however, remained indifferent. He looked down at 2 Da with his eyes lowered. After a while, Cao Cao suddenly asked a meaningful question: "Are you challenging me as an enemy? Or are you talking to me as a citizen of Wei?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"What did the King of Wei just say?"

"Is this person from the Wei Kingdom? Is he from the Wei Kingdom?"

"How is this possible? How did the people of Wei become soldiers of Shu?!"

The black soldiers all looked at Erda in the field with disbelief.

It's subtle to say, 2da, who was originally extremely excited, suddenly clenched his teeth and said nothing after listening to Cao Cao's questioning, but there was a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Then, in the surprised and doubtful gaze of everyone, Cao Cao pushed Erda away.

"Woo?!" Under the powerful force, Erda staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

Under the resentful gaze of Erda, perhaps in order to avoid causing public opinion, Cao Cao gently waved his right hand.

Zhen Ji, who was standing not far behind him, immediately understood what he meant and said coldly to all the black soldiers in the square: "Everyone retreat. Anyone who stays will be killed without mercy!"

Although Zhen Ji was a famous beauty in Wei State, she was known for her cruelty and ruthlessness, which frightened the soldiers! Although the black soldiers were somewhat curious at this time, they dared not to watch anymore since the ice beauty had said so much? In a few moments, the high ground that was originally bustling with people was immediately empty!
"Let's talk." When there was no one around, Cao Cao sat cross-legged in front of Erda: "How long has it been? It should have been two years since you left Wei?"

2Da did not answer, but continued to stare at Cao Cao with a gloomy face.

Seeing Erda's stubbornness, Cao Cao sighed, then raised his head again, looking at the starry night sky, as if he was lost in memory: "In the beginning, because you hated Wei's policy of provoking war all the year round, you repeatedly refused to join the government to assist me. In the end, you even left your family and even put on the armor of the Shu soldiers in a canyon battle, and successfully sneaked into Shu and became a soldier."

After a pause, Cao Cao turned his gaze back to 2da: "I still remember you said that you left Wei in order to find a peaceful country, to find a new path that would live up to what you have learned in your life, in order to prove that peace does not necessarily have to be achieved through war and force. But two years have passed, have you found it?" 2da's eyes trembled slightly because of his shaken belief.

Cao Cao sneered, "You have been very smart and knowledgeable since you were young. I think you have been disappointed for a long time, right? Because there is no peaceful and pure land in this world!"

A shadow suddenly appeared on 2Da's face, and he shouted stubbornly: "Yes!"

"Oh? Where?" Cao Cao was also unhappy, and he shouted coldly: "Do you always want to strengthen your own Wu Kingdom? Or Shu Kingdom? Ha, I don't believe you can't see that the reason why Shu Kingdom has never taken the initiative to provoke a war is just because they are not strong enough and don't have the ability! When they become strong one day, the number of wars they will launch will probably be no less than our Wei Kingdom. Who doesn't want to unify? Who doesn't want to rule the world? Even the first empire on the continent, the powerful and invincible Tang Chang'an, didn't it invade the surrounding areas all year round? Their army's cavalry has flattened thousands of desert countries and massacred thousands of disloyal tribes. How cruel are their methods? Don't you know this?"

As Cao Cao's words became more and more sharp, 2da's clenched fists began to tremble more and more uncontrollably.

he.

Can't refute!

Seeing Erda was speechless again, Cao Cao's expression also eased a little. "When you are young, it is a good thing to have pursuits and dreams, but people have to face reality in the end, right? In the final analysis, this world is so cruel, the strong are respected, and only the strong have the right to speak! Just like your comrades who died in the battle, Mao Mao, Shi Liang, Xiao Ye, and even Su An, do you think Shu will seek revenge on our Wei Kingdom for their deaths like you did? No, because they are just weak soldiers, insignificant existence!"

At this point, Cao Cao reached out his hand and patted Erda's shoulder heavily: "If you really have such a compassionate heart, then you should be like me, become strong, unify the Three Kingdoms, or even the entire King's Continent, and then completely liberate those miserable soldiers, so that they will no longer die in war! Although in the process, a large number of soldiers will die on the battlefield, but when the peaceful and prosperous era comes, in the next hundred or thousand years, the people who live and work in peace and contentment will surely sing praises to you, erect monuments and build temples for you, because it is you who created peace! Young man, this is what you should do now."

Under the catalysis of Cao Cao's passionate voice, 2da slowly lowered his head.

To be honest, at this moment, he was somewhat moved, because Cao Cao had only heard the names of his teammates once, but he had completely memorized them. This was not something that every hero could do, and most heroes would not even look at their soldiers.

I am also very touched. Cao Cao may be a ruthless hero and the culprit of war, but as he said, in this era of heroes competing for hegemony, perhaps this is the fastest way to promote peace.
Seeing Erda being tamed by him gradually, Cao Cao smiled faintly: "If you agree with my philosophy, come back and assist me. I will give you the power of a hero!"

2Da suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Cao in surprise.

"There are still many things in this world that you little soldiers cannot know, and if you want to understand the truth of the world, you must first become a hero." Cao Cao's eyes sparkled, and he said slowly: "You are lucky. The reason why I cooperated with Jixia Academy in this Shu-Wei war is because Jixia Academy is willing to give our Wei Kingdom a place to be promoted to a hero! Originally, I wanted to give this place to your comrade named Wang Yao, but unfortunately he was unwilling to submit to me."

When he heard the name "Wang Yao", 2da was instantly moved and lowered his head again.

Maybe, 2 Da really hated Wang Yao's "inaction" and "indifference", but in the end, he still regarded Wang Yao as his closest brother.
Does he really want to abandon this brother and return to the State of Wei?

Many times, life is like this. Once you start to hesitate, the power of choice will immediately take away from you.

After just a few seconds of hesitation, Erda no longer had the chance to choose.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Cao stood up from the ground, bent slightly and stretched out his hand towards 2da, like the most humble king bowing down to invite his adviser to come out of seclusion.

"Come back, Erda, no, Zhongda! You have been patient for too long. You shouldn't let your talent be buried. Wei State needs talents like you. Also, Pi'er misses you very much."

The Wei State's high ground was completely empty.

On the towering wall, Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the soldier's back as he walked further and further away.

Behind him, Zhen Ji, who had been silent the whole time, came up behind him with lotus steps and asked with a hint of understanding, "Is he the second son of the Sima family that Master Pi often mentioned?"

"Well, I think you should have heard of him in the past. He is the most famous low-key genius of the Sima family." Cao Cao did not look back, but said calmly: "He and Pi'er grew up together. They were as close as brothers. Unfortunately, two years ago, he left Wei and went to Shu because he was dissatisfied with my military strategy."

"The Sima family with a long bloodline?" Zhen Ji looked at the Shu soldiers who were gradually going away in disbelief. Even she had never thought that Erda had such a profound background, but she was still a little puzzled: "So, did he refuse? Refuse to be a hero?!"

"Haha." Cao Cao's eyes were bright and he said confidently, "No, he will definitely come back to find me! For a person like him, as long as you give him a chance, he will never let go!"

The biting cold wind blew away the thousands of plants and trees in the canyon. The wheel of fate seemed to start turning at this moment.

"There is one thing I don't understand." After a long while, Zhen Ji seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"Go ahead." Cao Cao said.

"In recent years, you have been constantly recruiting soldiers and heroes. What is the purpose?" Zhen Ji asked cautiously.

Cao Cao turned around and glanced at the puzzled and anxious Ice Beauty behind him. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "The times are about to change dramatically. Everyone will have to make a difficult decision, without exception. And I also need more heroes to support me so that I can build an immortal empire! It's that simple."

After saying this cryptically, Cao Cao once again looked towards the Kingdom of Shu, seeming to be quite emotional.

"But to be honest, it's a pity for that soldier named Wang Yao. Compared to Zhongda, he is actually my first choice."
