Chapter 70 The enemy surrendered

Wei Highlands.

On top of a twenty-meter-high wall, a middle-aged man with long hair and wearing scarlet blood armor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance at the endless canyon. His dark red pupils concealed a throbbing edge.

At some point in the air, a few petals floated up, and a peerless and gorgeous woman appeared behind him like a ghost.

Cao Cao turned around and glanced at Diao Chan, whose eyes were slightly red. He seemed to have expected this situation: "Is that person really unwilling to come?"

Diao Chan didn't say anything, her beautiful face was filled with pitiful loss.

"Young man." Cao Cao shook his head. To him, love is far less tempting than power and strength. Isn't it difficult?

Diao Chan remained silent, just looking in the direction she came from with great longing.

The two of them stood quietly on the high wall, each with their own thoughts, looking into the canyon.

After a while, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Have you seen the scout named Wang Yao?"

"When I rushed over, I saw another soldier. It should be him." Diao Chan replied softly.

"What do you think?"

"He has a very special aura, very similar to a hero, but not as strong as a hero."

Cao Cao was silent for a moment. "Just now I saw Lü Bu returning to the high ground with low health. Was he injured by them?"

"Yes." Diao Chan nodded absentmindedly.

"Is there really a soldier in this world who can compete with a hero? It's a pity that such a genius fell into the hands of Shu." A meaningful smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips. He turned around, glanced at Diao Chan who was still lonely, and then put away his smile.

"When I hired you, I never had direct contact with that person, but I know that for a person with ambition and responsibility, even the closest person cannot stop him from realizing his ambition. Scout, do you understand what I am saying?"

Diao Chan raised her head and looked at the bloody hero in front of her with a complicated expression.

Cao Cao looked towards the canyon in the distance and said meaningfully: "Everything in the world has its destined trajectory and ending, and some things, no matter how hard you try, are destined to be in vain."

These words made 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 was exhausted both physically and mentally and had lost her fighting spirit long ago.

"I will order the army to withdraw to Luoyang later."

"Thank you, King Wei." Diao Chan bowed slightly and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Diao Chan." Cao Cao called her from behind.

"I launched such a war, lost thousands of troops, and even destroyed a defense tower, just to help you find one person. Although the result is not satisfactory, I still hope that you will not forget the promise you made before coming to the canyon."

Diao Chan remained silent.

All this is just a transaction.

Cao Cao looked at the breathtakingly beautiful woman in front of him. Although he did not show any expression, his heart was already throbbing.

Cao Cao has always longed to get Diao Chan. This is not only because Diao Chan is a mage hero who is capable of competing with Zhuge Liang of Shu Kingdom, but also because Lu Bu has been infatuated with this gorgeous woman but has not been able to get her.

The unrivaled demon who was the best in the Three Kingdoms had always been extremely arrogant and unruly. He had never tolerated anyone in his eyes and even ignored some of Cao Cao's orders. However, such a man unexpectedly listened to Diao Chan very much.

In other words, as long as you can get Diao Chan, it is equivalent to getting the shackles to control Lu Bu!
However, no matter how many jewels and jades Cao Cao gave her, or how much royal treatment he gave her, he was never able to impress Diao Chan, and she always declined his offers.

But all this took a turn for the better a month ago.

By chance, Cao Cao learned a piece of news that the woman of his dreams had been secretly looking for someone, and this person seemed to be working as a soldier in the Kingdom of Shu!
Cao Cao knew that there were 100,000 mountains between Wei and Shu, and the journey was long and dangerous, so few people could cross it. The only shortcut between the two countries was the canyon battlefield.

Therefore, the extremely cunning Cao Cao deliberately revealed this news to Diao Chan, and Diao Chan, who was eager to find her lover, naturally made an agreement with Cao Cao.

Now, the time to fulfill the promise has finally arrived!

"Dancing girl Diao Chan is willing to serve under the King of Wei."

The most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms bowed her head and half-knelt in front of the bloody hero.

Cao Cao smiled.

The deep and long laughter slowly spread throughout the canyon dyed red by the sea of ​​blood.

So what if we lost a war?

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

A war earned him the loyalty of two heroes who were braver than any other man.

How wonderful!

What you want is already obtained.

this war.

That's it for now.

The bloody hero turned around, put his hands behind his back, and once again looked into the distance at the smoke-filled canyon battlefield. His sword-like phoenix eyes glowed with an eerie dark red light.

The next time we fight, this mountain and river will be shattered! !
A thick black dot moved slowly.

Zhao Yun, carrying Wang Yao on his back, was walking towards the Kingdom of Shu step by step.

It’s not that Zhao Yun’s injuries were lighter, but Wang Yao’s injuries were too serious and he didn’t even have the strength to walk.

In order to prevent Lu Bu from counterattacking with the Black Armored Army, Zhao Yun could only rush back with Wang Yao on his back.

Along the way, the two of them were silent in tacit understanding. After this battle side by side, they had a certain understanding of each other, but it was only a superficial understanding.

Wang Yao "knew" that Zhao Yun was a hero. (In fact, he had known it for a long time)

And Zhao Yun could also feel that Wang Yao was not an ordinary soldier.

That's it.

The two sides have not yet reached the stage of open communication.

Just like two people playing chess, although they know each other's strength roughly, neither of them will take the initiative to reveal their own moves and plans.

Only when they were out of the enemy's range and about to separate from the troops did Zhao Yun stammer, "I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"I will." Wang Yao agreed directly.

Zhao Yun tilted his head slightly and gave a strange look at the soldier lying on his shoulder.

To Zhao Yun, this soldier was too magical. Normally, if a soldier knew his true identity, wouldn't he spread it to the whole world when he returned?
But this soldier agreed to his request without even thinking about it, as if he was no longer surprised by his true identity!
What shocked Zhao Yun even more was the extraordinary performance of the soldiers during the battle with Lu Bu.

Not only did he withstand several of Lu Bu's skills without dying, he was even able to perfectly coordinate with his skills, repeatedly injuring Lu Bu and repelling him. If Diao Chan hadn't come over, I'm afraid the two of them could have really killed the No. 1 tank hero in the Three Kingdoms!
Is it possible to have such a soldier in the world?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask tentatively: "I can sense an unusual aura from you. Are you also a hero?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hero. I'm just an ordinary soldier."

After explaining, Wang Yaofu smiled again: "Old Zhao, you can't be so cunning. If you want to trick me, shouldn't you explain to me first? What do you want to do as a hero disguised as a soldier? And what do you mean by "Black and White Chess" will never let you go?"

Zhao Yun turned his head away and remained silent.

He suddenly understood why Lu Bu targeted this soldier so much.

Without even answering the question, he took the initiative and asked a bunch of pointed questions. This guy is really annoying!

Looking at Zhao Yun who remained silent again, Wang Yao didn't care. He was not in a hurry anyway. However, he was very interested in the things between Zhao Yun and Diao Chan.

"Then you can always tell me how you got to know that beautiful lady just now?" Wang Yao asked.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that these things would not involve some of his secrets, so he began to talk.

"She and I have known each other since we were young. We are both orphans of war. Before the Three Kingdoms came into being, the world was in chaos and our parents died in the war. Later, we met by chance. Maybe because we were both lonely, we naturally got together."

A rare tenderness appeared on Zhao Yun's serious face. "That girl has always liked to follow me around. We have done many things together that are funny when we think back now. But at that time, it was not easy for two children to survive in the chaotic world. So we became mercenaries together and even got to know those 'two adults'."

Zhao Yun's blue eyes were lost in confusion, like a down-and-out man reminiscing about his youth: "Later, our reputation began to spread far and wide, and we had many followers. Under the leadership of the 'two masters', our team gradually grew larger, and eventually became the leading mercenary corps of that era. During that period, some powerful warlords would offer high prices to invite us to fight for them."

At this point, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped. Wang Yao, who was listening attentively, could not help but urged, "Go on!"

"I can't tell you what happens next." Zhao Yun said lightly.

Wang Yao: ". Lao Zhao, is this interesting to you?"

Zhao Yun ignored Wang Yao's frown and continued, "Anyway, our mercenary group was disbanded later, and it was at that time that I learned a terrible 'truth'. In order to confirm whether this truth really existed and to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the 'two adults', I came to Shu."

the truth?

Wang Yao was confused by what he heard, and in fact, Wang Yao was more concerned about who the "two adults" that Zhao Yun always mentioned were.

But just as Wang Yao was hesitating and was thinking about trying to ask even if Zhao Yun couldn't tell him, a call suddenly came from the front.

"Brother Yao! I finally got you guys back!"

Wang Yao looked up and saw that it was the captain of a thousand men.

After coming back from hell and seeing the centurion again, Wang Yao had never thought that the centurion's shabby face was so cute.

"Captain, it's nice to see you again!" Wang Yao greeted him.

It seemed that not only Wang Yao was very happy, but the captain was also very happy.

"What are you so happy about? You look like you just picked up a pile of gold coins." Wang Yao looked at the centurion who was dancing with joy with amusement.

"Of course I'm happy!" The captain smiled until his face turned red. "Let me tell you, the Wei army has retreated. We, the Shu Kingdom, have won this war!"

"Victory?!"

The news came too suddenly. Wang Yao looked at the jubilant captain in surprise over Zhao Yun's shoulder.

What the hell?

Is this victory?
Not to mention the enemy’s crystal base, even the enemy’s high ground defense tower has not been pushed down yet!

Did the enemy heroes collectively surrender? !

　Thanks to Xiaochuan for his 1888+588 (the first helmsman of Xiaobing), and Yiyezhiqiu and Banliangrensheng for their rewards, and also thanks to those friends who voted for the recommendation.
