Chapter 343
In the city of Jizhou at this time!
The news of Yuan Shao's critical illness has been spread for several days!
The defenders in the city are already preparing for his funeral, and the people in every household have already started preparing what they need for his funeral!

Yuan Shao, as the hero of a generation, dominates the four major states and counties. Although he is not a wise lord to his subordinates, all the cities that pass through his hands, the people can still get temporary peace!

If it weren't for the excessive taxes required for these years of war, the people under his command would have lived a relatively happy life!

Therefore, for Yuan Shao, the prince, the common people still love him from the bottom of their hearts!
Now that I heard his critical illness, I can only pray for him secretly at home, and all I can do is burn incense for him after he leaves!
However, the entire city of Jizhou was more sensational because of this incident!
But now Yuan Shao's room is empty, there is still a little dust on the table and bed, obviously no one has cleaned it for a long time!

In addition to the doctor who came to see him every day, and the young general who came to report the military situation!
Others almost never ask him any questions!
In the huge room, only Yuan Shao was lying on the bed alone, waiting for death to come slowly!

It's embarrassing for a hero to fall into this situation!

Just then, a voice came from outside the door!
"My lord! I have come in!"

Yuan Shao's sluggish eyes opened slightly, and there was a turmoil in his already silent heart, but when he saw that the person who came in was Guo Tu, the light in his eyes faded away again!

"Is it Gongze? Yes... Cough cough cough! What's the matter?"

Yuan Shao, who was lying on the bed, still had the vigor and vigor of the time when he was attacking Dong Zhuo and the decisive battle with Cao Cao. His white hair told the world that he was already a remnant old man!

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao's illness in such a state, his eyes were full of complexities, he cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, Dr. Li is here, are you summoning him to treat your illness now?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes were full of disappointment, and he slowly shook his head!

"Let him go, and he won't come here again, I... have not much time left!"

"Lord!"

Guo Tu's eyes turned red instantly!

"My lord, please don't say such disheartening words. I and all the generals are still waiting for you to lead us to make a comeback and wipe out the Cao bandits in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shao grinned and moved his dry lips, forcing out a smile!
"General rule, it doesn't have to be far away, my body, I know best!"

After Guo Tu heard this, he felt his heart being pulled, but he was helpless. He could only kneel in front of him, holding back his tears!

Yuan Shao asked again at this time:

"The news that I'm critically ill has been out for ten days. Why haven't Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang come back for so long?"

Hearing this, Guo Tu's face became a little difficult to express, and he just clenched his fists full of grief and indignation!

In the end, it turned into a helpless sigh, and said faintly:

"My lord, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and the three major generals... are still sticking to their own cities, and... they haven't returned. Instead, they heard from the spies that the Cao army stationed in Guandu has begun to march north!"

After the words fell, the room fell into a dead silence, the silence was terrifying!
After an unknown amount of time, Guo Tu heard a sigh, followed by a self-mockery!
"Hehe, I never imagined that I, Yuan Shao, who lived a life as a soldier, was so glorious that I didn't even have a single family member by my side when I was about to die. That's all, that's all! Guo Tu! You step back..."

Guo Tu's face froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked:

"Then...my lord, what should Cao Jun do...how to deal with it? If you let it go, I'm afraid it won't be long before they attack Jizhou City!"

Yuan Shao turned his head and said lightly:

"I'm exhausted physically and mentally, so leave the rest to my three useless sons!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tu couldn't help crying!
Yuan Shao's words all mean that he gave up struggling!
"My lord! Ever since the three major generals learned that Yuan Shao was critically ill, they have been fighting for the throne all the time. How can they resist Cao Jun?"

"What they calculate every day is not the deployment of troops in the major cities at all, but what the other party does today, whether they will send troops to occupy Jizhou city!"

"My lord! If you let go, we...wouldn't we have to be looted and killed by Cao Jun?!"

He burst into tears, choking with sobs!

But Yuan Shao was not moved at all, he just said flatly:

"Go down!"

"host……"

Guo Tu knew that the persuasion was fruitless, so he could only sigh, and gradually got up and retreated!
quickly!

The room was once again dead quiet!

Yuan Shao could even hear his own heartbeat. This terrifying silence seemed to be able to hear the passing of his last life!
Like this until late at night, Yuan Shao didn't fall asleep, and his expression was a little dazed!
Squeeze!
At this time the door was pushed open again!

In a daze, Yuan Shao seemed to see a familiar figure!

"Ah... Ah Tan? Cao Ah Tan?"

At this time, the figure sitting slowly in front of the bed was Cao Cao who had chased him away for three days and three nights, and behind him was Cao Su, who was also busy with the world!
The sound of Ah Man fell into Cao Cao's ears, the latter trembled violently, forced a smile out of his red eyes, patted Yuan Shao's shoulder and choked and said:
"It's me, Brother Benchu. I haven't seen you for a year. How did you become like this?"

Yuan Shao laughed very freely after hearing this!
"My end is approaching, nothing unusual, but you, why did you come to Jizhou? Oh... I was dreaming, otherwise, with your character of Cao Aman, how could you make such absurd and dangerous actions, haha!"

I don't know whether Yuan Shao is too lonely these days, or maybe he feels that he is in a dream at this time, and the chatterbox suddenly opens up!
"That's all! You are about to die, and none of my three children could conceive a dream to be with me, Yuan Benchu. I never thought that you, Cao Mengde, would conceive a dream to be with me and send me off for the last time. I, Yuan Shao, will die with no regrets!"

Cao Su looked at the old man Fengzhu lying on the bed, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart!

The current him is not Yuan Benchu, who commanded an army of 70, who shocked the north, nor is he the headstrong Yuan Shao who does not listen to the words of his subordinates!

[When a person is about to die, his words are good! 】

[Boss Cao!Let's send this hero for the last time! 】

Cao Cao's heart trembled when he heard Yuan Shao's words!
The two of them, sitting in the north, have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years!
But he never expected that Yuan Shao would still miss his old friend in the end!

He knows better than anyone else!

If you don't come today, I'm afraid you will never see her again in this lifetime!
Then Cao Cao smiled and said:
"Brother Benchu, you and I have been like this until now. We have completely different positions. We don't have any hatred. Brother Benchu ​​still remembers deeply that Brother Benchu ​​took us all over Luoyang City, hunting with eagles during the day and hunting at night. Having fun, that kind of day is the ultimate freedom!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao left a tear on the side of his old eyes, and smiled like a child!

"That's right! At that time, we didn't intrigue or intrigue. We only knew which family's girls were good-looking, and which family's chickens were the fattest, right?"

Cao Cao laughed three times:

"That's right! Brother Benchu, do you still remember that time? You and I went to steal someone else's bride on the day of their wedding, and were almost beaten to death. I was the one who saved you!"

"How dare you say that you dare to act so arrogantly after doing such a rebellious thing!"

Yuan Shao also laughed, and the two recalled the past together, just like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years!

Seeing this, Cao Su raised a smile, and then quietly exited the room!

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sky has slightly brightened!

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open by Cao Cao, looking at Cao Su who had been guarding outside all night, he asked:
"Brother, when is today?"

After Cao Su made some calculations, he looked at Cao Cao and said:
"May 28th in the summer of the seventh year of Jian'an!"
