There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"How could this be? How could this be happening!" Ji Ling hopped on the spot as if he had been stricken by a demon, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xiu finally couldn't control himself, his legs went limp, and he knelt down directly facing the prison door with a "slap", and shouted at the prison door heart-piercingly: "Prime Minister! "

Zhang Xiu's eyes were full of tears, and her heart-piercing voice resounded through the sky: "Prime Minister, you can't go! You are gone! How should the last general wait for others to explain to the world? Prime Minister! Come out quickly Ah! Come out, Prime Minister!"

Behind Zhang Xiu, a heavy cough suddenly sounded: "General Zhang is really a loyal minister, the howling is so scary that I come out."

When Zhang Xiu heard the voice, she jumped up from the spot in fright.

Behind him, the Tao merchant and other people who had just left the dungeon miraculously stood behind them at this moment, all of them looked ashamed and blackened, as embarrassing as they could be.

But fortunately, it is obvious that these embarrassing people are still alive?

Zhang Xiu tremblingly pointed at the potter, as if he couldn't even speak.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

The pottery merchant laughed when he heard the words: "When I was a human being, I could calm down the world and stabilize the universe. If I really became a ghost, what kind of disaster would the world make me do? You'd better not hope to become a ghost. "

Zhang Xiu blinked his eyes, and it took him a long time to realize his slip of the tongue.

And behind him, all the soldiers including Ji Ling shouted: "Prime Minister Hong Fu! Prime Minister Hong Fu!"

Pei Qian also hurried over with a bucket in his hand. He looked the potter up and down, and said, "Prime Minister, you, did you fly out?"

The potter grinned and said, "You praised me, I can't fly, but I actually got out."

Chapter 800 Ding Xuchang

Xuchang City was breached, and the pottery merchant led an army under his command to sit in the city.

In the name of the imperial court, Xun Yu was also appointed by him as the chief minister of the prime minister to take charge of the current work of appeasing Xuchang City.

Xun Yu was actually unwilling to take on this job at first, but the pottery merchant had been prepared for a long time and came up with the so-called "Edict of the Son of Heaven".

If Xun Yu doesn't accept it, it will be the second time to resist the edict.

And as far as his current situation is concerned, he can only choose to surrender.

He couldn't go back to the Cao family. With this kind of trouble, Xun Yu and the Cao family had completely broken up, and judging from the current situation, Xun Yu had no other place to go. Served under the command of a pottery merchant.

After all, the potter could offer him the one thing he wanted most.

That is justifiable.

With Xun Yu coming forward as a guarantee, the communication between the pottery merchants and the Xuchang gentry became much smoother. Prime Minister Tao was gentle and elegant, and he was known as a gentleman. Naturally, the Xuchang gentry communicated with him better than Cao Hong. Husband is much stronger.

As for the Tian family, Zheng family and others who have made great contributions to taking down Xuchang City, it is natural to reward them for their merits. As for opening warehouses to help the people, comforting the people in the city, and stabilizing the hearts of the people, it is naturally a no-brainer.

The pottery merchant led a group of warriors to the Cao Mansion, and watched carefully in the main hall where Cao Cao usually handled official business.

"It's so simple." The potter looked at it, and said with emotion: "I never thought that Cao Cao's life style is so simple, not ostentatious at all, he is also the overlord of the Central Plains, and now he is even more powerful in the separatist Guanzhong. This kind of life match, and identity It's a little out of proportion."

Xu Chu also said carelessly: "Isn't that right! Back then, when we broke through Yecheng and saw Yuan Shao's mansion, it was called a formidable one, a luxurious one, an imposing one, and he was also an overlord. It's obviously much colder."

Tao Shang laughed and said, "So, in a sense, Cao Cao is much more terrifying than Yuan Shao."

He sat on the seats, looked at the generals below, and suddenly said, "Bring Cao Hong up."

When he was young, he saw several Tiger Guard soldiers pushing Cao Hong up, who was tied up with thick ropes.

Although Cao Hong was tied up, his temper was still upright. He was pushed in front of the pottery by the soldiers of the Tiger Guards.

Tao Shang quietly looked at Cao Hong below, and was about to speak, but was interrupted roughly by Cao Hong.

"Surnamed Tao, don't waste your efforts, I won't surrender even if I die!"

Saying this sentence made the potter completely speechless.

It would take a narcissistic person to say that.

After being quiet for a long while, the pottery merchant said quietly, "Cao Hong, have you misunderstood something? I didn't even intend to recruit you."

Cao Hong's face turned red all of a sudden.

He turned a blind eye to the pottery merchant in anger, then scanned the surrounding area, and finally set his eyes on Xun Yu.

The anger in Cao Hong's eyes seemed to be ignited at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and yelled at Xun Yu: "Xun Yu is a thief, I really have not misunderstood you, you are a thief who betrays the Lord and seeks glory, and has no shame, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"

Xun Yu was scolded by Cao Hong, but he didn't get angry.

He actually felt a little guilty in his heart, no matter what the cause of the matter was, and no matter how the matter developed to this point, there was no doubt that he had indeed committed a rebellion, there was no doubt about it.

He took a deep breath, and said to Cao Hong, "General Zilian, Xun is indeed sorry for Mr. Cao, but you should ask yourself, if you and Mr. Cao hadn't pushed too hard, how could things have come to this today?" How far?"

Cao Hong said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Are you justified when you become a rebel? Tell you, Xun, you dog thief will die!"

The pottery merchant's head buzzed from the sound of Cao Hong's loudspeaker, he waved helplessly at the soldiers of the Tiger Guards, and said, "Drag it, and cut him off."

The soldiers of the Tiger Guard dragged Cao Hong down, but Cao Hong's loud voice could still be vaguely heard in the hall.

"Xun Yu, you will die badly! Tao, you will die badly too! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you and other despicable people go!"

After Cao Hong was beheaded, the potter immediately asked Chen Dengdao, "Where are all Cao Cao's relatives?"

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "The school affairs office has found out that some people nearby saw Cao's relatives running to the northwest."

"Northwest?" The potter beat the table lightly, and said, "Are they going to defect to Cao Ren?"

Chen Deng nodded, and said: "The direction of Puyang is completely surrounded by our army. According to common sense, it is indeed the most appropriate for them to go to Chenliu."

"How's the blockade on Chen Liu's side?" the potter asked.

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "Chen Liu's besiegers are not as many as Puyang City, but it shouldn't be a problem to intercept Cao Cao's fleeing family."

"Okay, quickly assign generals to Chen Liu, let them find a way to stop Cao Cao's family."

"promise!"

The Tao merchant thought for a while, and said, "Let Zhang Liao lead the fine cavalry to pursue, but tell him not to hurt anyone's life."

After Xuchang City was broken, Cao Pi and others, under the protection of Cao Mansion guards, escaped from the city through the tunnel that Cao Cao had repaired long ago, and ran in the direction of Chenliu City.

After all, it is Cao Cao's old nest. In Xuchang City, there are still many soldiers who are loyal to Cao's family. Some generals stationed in the city gave up their lives to stay and led their men to fight for Cao's family. Only then did Cao Pi and others escape successfully.

But their speed is still too slow.
