Looking at his brothers, Liu Bei did not show any expression. In his heart he thought “Oh brother, can’t you see that Old Cao is trying to buy you with the Red Hare? Why are you seeing him with one eyed closed?” Liu Bei then said “Oh my two brothers, why don’t you observe closely at Cao Cao’s lips? Who or what is he crying for?” From here they could not hear what Cao Cao was saying but Liu Bei was actually observing Cao Cao’s lips movements.
Zhang Fei could not read Old Cao’s lips movements. “Big brother, how can I read his lips movements?”
“Zihe? Zihe! Ferocious Cavalry?” Guan Yu’s expression become complex after observing Cao Cao’s lips movements.
“My lord, overcome your sorrow!” Guo Jia’s was currently the most helpless person since Old Cao was only screaming Zihe’s name.
Old Cao opened the coffin cover before Guo Jia could run over to stop him. With tearful eyes Old Cao shouted “Zi-…!” But his words were suddenly cut. The one who lied in the coffin was Li Dian who committed suicide in front of Lu Bu.
“Li Dian?!” Cao Cao suddently felt that his loss now was even greater. The Ferocious Cavalry was destroyed, Cao Chun is dead and now Li Dian also died. Even though Li Dian was as vice general, his skills were top notch. Old Cao had planned to make him gain more experience before promoting him to the position of general. But now, Li Dian was dead and laying inside the coffin.
“So where is Zihe?!” Cao Cao carefully asked. He did not dare to be loud, or others would know that he had been weeping for a wrong person. Although Li Dian was a very important general, Li Dian’s death cannot make Old Cao weep so miserably.
“General Cao Chun has already been escorted to Xu Du with a big and excellent cart.” Guo Jia whispered to Cao Cao’s ear. Cao Chun’s body was nailed tight to the ground from a spear that Lu Bu threw. His body and his warhorse had been conjoined and could not be separated. Guo Jia couldn’t find a coffin big enough to hold a man and a horse. He had no other choice but sending Cao Chun’s body to Xu Du. He would request a custom-made coffin when the cart arrived in Xu Du.
“Mancheng, oh Mancheng!” Old Cao’s immediately changed his words.
