A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 222 The Surviving Cao Zhi
The death of Cao Zhang was a big blow to the soldiers defending the city.

For a team, its leader is the soul, and when a team loses its leader, it means that the team has lost its soul.

So not long after Cao Zhang's death, the Xiegu Pass was successfully breached by Du Huo's army.

And with the breakthrough of the Xiegu pass, all the surrounding camps also fell.

In an instant, the mountains and plains have returned to peace, and all of this is only because of Cao Zhang's death.

After Duhuo captured the Xiegu Pass, he received a lot of additional troops. Although these troops could not be used in actual combat in a short period of time, if they are considered as combat preparation resources, then Duhuo's The overall strength did not suffer much loss.

In addition, Du Huo also captured the biggest hostage in the city, Cao Zhi, Cao Cao's son.

In fact, long before Du Huo led his army into the city, Cao Zhi had already planned to abandon the city and flee when he learned that there was no hope of defending the city.

However, due to Cao Zhang's previous order to guard the pass, who knew that when he wanted to leave the city, the guards in charge of guarding the city pass would not let him leave anyway.

As a result, in desperation, he was also trapped in the city, and this trap directly made him a prisoner of Du Huo.

It is said that when Cao Zhi was caught, he was still drunk and swearing at the city gate guard.

But the so-called city gate guard named Cao Zhi slowly received a hundred gold reward from Wei Yan.

That evening, when the flames of war were extinguished and everything calmed down.

Du Huo personally met that Cao Zhi who just woke up from drunkenness.

Here is still the big tent that Cao Zhi is most familiar with, but the owner of this big tent has been replaced.

"Cao Zhi, when you come back here again, how do you feel?"

Du Huo summoned Cao Zhi, but there was nothing important about it. He just wanted to meet this legendary figure. To put it bluntly, it was just for fun.

Hearing this, Cao Zhi first glanced sideways at Du Huo, then raised the corners of his mouth and sneered softly.

"Why are you laughing? Did you expect this result?"

Du Huo had a smile on his lips, and his smile was in sharp contrast to Cao Zhi's smile.

"In fact, I had predicted the outcome of the defeat even after Xun You was sent away! That stupid guy Cao Zhang was brave and resourceful, and his death is not a surprise to me!"

"Then, did you expect your day?" Du Huo asked again.

"Heh... it's not all thanks to him that I can have today! If he doesn't insist on going his own way, what we lose is just a pass!

But as for him, he couldn't settle the score. As a result, not only did he lose the city, he even lost his life!And I was also dragged down by him and became your prisoner!

If I could be given another chance, I should have killed him yesterday and then guarded this pass with Xun You!
To put it bluntly, if I were to guard this pass, I would be able to hold on for at least ten days! "

From top to bottom, Cao Zhi revealed the temperament of being broken and broken. Perhaps since he was arrested, he has no longer hoped for life.

But what he said now was nothing but complaints. Of course, in this complaint, he still couldn't let go of the arrogance he possessed.

"The tone in which you said this sounds somewhat similar to the Cao Cao I know. I just don't know if your father still has the courage now!" Du Huo said.

"Liu Bei, I believe you will meet my father soon! Although I am not very good at bragging about others, my father is an exception!
If I were you now, I should accept it as soon as I see it, at most stick to this pass, and then manage my own territory well, that's enough!
If you insist on being ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and want to be an enemy of my father, then the only ones who will be dragged down in the end will probably be the soldiers under your command! "

When Du Huo talked about Cao Cao, Cao Zhi's expression changed instantly, and his gaze was full of respect.

"Is this your persuasion to me? But maybe you don't know that my goal is not just to keep my territory!

If that's the case, then there's no need for me to invade your territory! "

Du Huo showed his thoughts without reservation. At this time, Cao Zhi was just a toy for him, who could listen and have fantasies!

As for the others, he probably has no use for them anymore.

Therefore, when Du Huo talked about his goal to Cao Zhi, he told almost everything he could say.

After Cao Zhi heard Du Huo's thoughts, his expression was also in a dull state for a while.

Maybe he was shocked by Du Huo's thoughts, or maybe he couldn't clearly understand Du Huo's purpose.

In short, no matter what the reason was, Cao Zhi's idiotic face has become fixed.

It wasn't until Du Huo ordered someone to take Cao Zhi away that Cao Zhi gradually woke up from his contemplation.

"Liu Bei, I have another question to ask you. Are you interested in answering me?"

Just when Cao Zhi was about to be taken away from the tent, Cao Zhi suddenly stopped and asked.

"I'm not interested, but if you want to ask, I can answer you!"

Duho shrugged, looking a little casual.

"Okay! I want to know how long I can live!" Cao Zhi said.

Hearing this, Du Huo subconsciously tilted his head, he was thinking at this time.

Du Huo hadn't thought about the question Cao Zhi asked.

At present, in his opinion, whether Cao Zhi is useful or not is still unknown.

If he were to stay, would he really be dedicated to working for him?Duho is not entirely sure about this.

After all, he and Cao Cao will have a decisive battle. If Cao Cao dies unexpectedly in that battle, then Cao Zhi will probably hold Du Huo in resentment for it.

Although all this sounds very reasonable, Du Huo cannot say this matter too rigidly.

In short, judging from the current situation, Du Huo is still very happy to let Cao Zhi live.

After all, this battle is far from over. If Cao Zhi can do his part, that would be the best!
Therefore, after some thinking, he answered Cao Zhi's question in a serious manner.

"In terms of time, I can't be sure, because it all depends on your performance!"
