Chapter 740

At Wuchao,

"Why... why?"

Xu You grabbed the sharp sword that had pierced his chest with one hand, ignoring the pain in his chest and the blood constantly flowing out, and looked at Cao Cao with a face full of shock and confusion, questioning him.

He did not understand why Cao Cao had suddenly turned against him.

He had brought him important intelligence, and only then could Cao Cao successfully take Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao's grain supplies.

Plus the matter of Liu Bei before, he had done a great favor for Cao Cao.

His merit was also enormous.

Wait... Liu Bei?

Suddenly, Xu You realized the key to this and looked at Cao Cao with some shock, asking: "Could it be because of Liu Bei's matter? Are you worried about leaks, worried about Especially Guan Yu Yu, so you want to kill me to silence me?"

Although he felt this reason was absurd, it was the greatest possibility he could think of.

"Sigh! You, Ziyuan, are indeed as clever and sharp as ever!"

Cao Cao sighed upon hearing this and nodded affirmatively: "Correct! It is precisely because of Liu Bei's matter, precisely because of Yunchang;"

"I don't want him to turn into an enemy with me, I don't want to lose him, so I can only ask you to die!"

"I hope you don't blame me! Of course, blaming me is also deserved, I don't mind at all!"

In order to keep Especially Guan Yu Yu, in order to prevent Especially Guan Yu Yu from discovering the truth about Liu Bei's death, and in order not to let him hate himself, Cao Cao felt that sacrificing a mere Xu You was too worth it.

In fact, even without Especially Guan Yu Yu's matter, according to Cao Cao's nature and his understanding of Xu You's character, Xu You would inevitably have died at his hands in the end.

Because this man was too arrogant and too reliant on his own talent!

Crucially, he was also greedily jealous and had no boundaries between master and subject.

Cao Cao did not feel he could tolerate Xu You for too long.

"You... I hate this!"

Xu You heard Cao Cao personally admit this, and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his eyes became dim, finally losing their light, and his consciousness completely fell into eternal darkness.

In the end, Xu You left this world with endless unwillingness and hatred.

At the last moment, he was still regretting that he shouldn't have trusted Cao Cao and shouldn't have left Yuan Shao.

Perhaps only Yuan Shao could tolerate his personality.

He also shouldn't have let Guo Tu get a handle on him for a little bit of money, ultimately ending up in this state.

Wrong! Everything was wrong...

In the next few days,

Yuan Shao launched the most violent attacks on Cao Cao's camp like a madman.
