There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Xun Yu felt a chill in his heart.

He is not a fool, so he can understand that the other party came prepared.

And this Cao Pi was far beyond Xun Yu's imagination.

7 Chapter Ninety: Attacking Xuchang, Rescuing Xun Yu

Facing Cao Pi's questioning, Xun Yu was stunned for a while.

But he stabilized his mind in an instant, and replied calmly: "It's my brother Xun Chen."

As soon as these words were said, Cao Hong's eyes became a little unfriendly at that time.

Judging by his expression, he looks like he's about to jump up and beat Xun Yu up.

Isn't this collusion between inside and outside?

With a smile on his face, Cao Pi nodded suddenly: "I heard that Wen Ruogong and Brother Ling talked for a long time in their own mansion, and after this conversation, your Excellency went out of the city to meet a pottery merchant?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, he felt that if he jumped into the Yellow River now, he would not be able to cleanse himself.

But he still maintained his calm and vigor.

"Second son, this matter is a potter's trick. I think Sikong understood it in his heart. After meeting my younger brother Xun Chen that day, I wrote a resignation letter to resign the chief Situ, and then I planned to hand it over to my younger brother. I didn't want to meet a pottery merchant, this is a long-planned plan by the other party to frame me!"

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's what you say, but since Mr. Xun knew there was a fraud, why did he take the risk of leaving the city? No matter how you say this, it doesn't make sense."

Xun Yu's face turned red and then white, and his body trembled slightly.

"The court rules are like this. If you don't accept the imperial edict, you must write your resignation and report yourself. Otherwise, wouldn't it be treasonous?"

Cao Hong hummed heavily: "What imperial court? It's just a puppet imperial court under the control of pottery merchants! Wen Ruogong, are you using this to lie to a three-year-old child? What is it like to be Cao!"

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said, "I didn't lie to you. No matter who controls the court, the emperor is the emperor, and the Han family is the Han family! This has never changed."

Cao Pi took a deep look at Xun Yu and said, "So, in Wen Ruogong's eyes, the dignity of the court is more important than the safety of my Cao family?"

A look of anger instantly appeared on Xun Yu's face.

What's the matter with this question?

How does your Cao family compare themselves with the Han Dynasty? Is this comparable?

The heart of disobedience is obvious.

"Correct!"

He replied decisively.

"It's wrong! His mother's wrong!" Cao Hong jumped into a rage, and he drew his sword and was about to go up and chop Xun Yu.

But Cao Pi raised his hand to stop him, saying: "Uncle Zi Lian can't do it, you need to go to the prison, interrogate carefully, and get the confession and papers before you can be sentenced."

Killing Xun Yu is no small matter!

Cao Hong held back his anger and put the sword back into the scabbard with a "shua", but the lingering anger still remained on his face.

At this time, the ligers who were in charge of searching the Xun Mansion took a tablet engraved with the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, walked up to Cao Hong and Cao Pi, and whispered a few words in their ears.

Cao Pi nodded in satisfaction, took the tablet from the liger, shook it at Xun Yu, and said, "Wen Ruogong is really loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the family still offers this?"

Xun Yu seemed too lazy to look at Cao Hong and Cao Pi at the moment.

He actually dangled the spirit card of the first emperor of the Han Dynasty in his hand.

To Xun Yu, this is simply a rebellious act, and he really has nothing to say to such a person.

"Why? Could it be that paying homage to the spiritual throne of the late emperor won't come into the eyes of the two of you?" Xun Yu said lightly.

Cao Hong was furious: "Xun Yu, you have committed a heinous crime and you still don't know it? Do you dare to speak nonsense?"

Xun Yu looked at him coldly, and said: "I thought that if Sikong could calm the world and govern the court, he would be able to restore peace to the world, justice to the people, and power to the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, I only thought of Sikong, but not Cao Cao. Even though Sikong is wise and mighty and loyal to the Han dynasty, how can he stop you jackals after a hundred years? Alas, miscalculation, miscalculation!"

At this moment, I saw Cao Zhang who was behind Cao Pi step forward and punched him.

Hit Xun Yu directly on the cheek!

Immediately, seeing blood gushing from Xun Yu's face from his nostrils, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Seeing this, Cao Pi became anxious immediately: "Third Brother, don't be reckless!"

Cao Zhang squeezed his fists with a "crackling" sound.

"You are just a watchdog of my Cao family, how dare you make such wild remarks?" Cao Zhang looked at Xun Yu coldly, and then said to Cao Pi: "Second brother, this person is so disdainful of Cao family that he can't even punch him. It's light!"

Cao Pi sighed helplessly, and said: "Your actions are too much. If you leave a scar on his face, and let your father see it in the future, how can you explain it?"

Cao Hong pointed to Xun Yu on the ground, and said, "Come on, pull him down and take him into custody!"

The liger stepped forward and carried the fainted Xun Yu away.

The entire Xun Mansion was also blocked by Cao Hong's troops.

After finishing all this, Cao Hong immediately discussed with Cao Pi: "Nephew, how should we deal with the next thing?"

Cao Pi said indifferently: "First, interrogate Xun Yu overnight, get a confession, and confirm his crime of colluding with pottery merchants, then consolidate the city defense, strengthen the defense, and call the gentry people in the city to prepare supplies and assist in the defense."

Cao Zhang was anxious when he heard this: "Second Brother, Big Brother sent troops to ask for help, why don't we help him?"

The reason for searching Xun Yu's mansion was only because of the "Cao Ang" letter for help. Now that Xun Yu was arrested, he didn't send troops to rescue Cao Ang, but stuck to the city instead. This made Cao Zhang very puzzled.

Cao Pi felt a little guilty at the moment.

He encouraged Cao Hong to come here, in fact, mainly to capture and punish Xun Yu, and use it as capital to achieve his fame.

As for actually sending troops from Xuchang to rescue Cao Ang, he never thought about it in his heart.

Cao Pi even had dark thoughts in his heart. He faintly hoped that Cao Ang would have an accident in this war.

This accident is better to be bigger, such as an accidental death.

Seeing that Cao Hong was also looking at him, Cao Pi turned his head and said, "Actually, I have thought about this too, but right now I think that if Xun Yu is imprisoned, then the elder brother will be safe instead, and perhaps we will be the ones who are in danger. Xuchang City."

Cao Hong asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Cao Pi explained: "I saw that Xun Yu had a very close relationship with the pottery merchant that day in the city. Perhaps in the potter's mind, Xun Yu was the guarantee for him to take down Xuchang. This is why he only focused on attacking Puyang recently. Regardless of Xuchang's reason, now that Xun Yu is in prison, if he really colluded with the pottery merchant, the pottery merchant will definitely concentrate his forces and come to attack our Xuchang City, so that the pressure on the elder brother's side will be reduced, which is equivalent to saving the elder brother. But if you send troops , I'm afraid that Xuchang City will not be protected."

Cao Hong suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "So that's how it is, that's how it is!"
