There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The potter's voice came and said, "Don't say anything about this for now."

Seeing that Mrs. Ding was stunned, Pei Qian shouted, "Prime Minister, Mrs. Ding and Cao Guiren were brought here by the last general."

The handsome tent seemed to recall a short silence, and then heard the potter's dissatisfied voice: "Why didn't you report earlier? Bring people in!"

Pei Qian responded, and hurriedly led Mrs. Ding and Cao Jie in.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Tao Shang stood up with a smile, and said to Mrs. Ding: "Mrs. Ding, Tao is really ashamed for working so hard all the way.

Madam Ding stared at him closely and said, "Prime Minister Tao, is what you said in the tent just now true?"

The pottery merchant was taken aback when he heard the words, and then pretended to be stupid: "Is what true?"

Mrs. Ding looked at him closely: "Master Tao doesn't need to hide it from me, it's better to talk about some things!"

Mrs. Ding already had hatred for Cao Pi in her heart, but when she heard that Cao Zhi was killed by him, she was even more furious.

The potter raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Cao Jie.

Seeing that Cao Jie's face was full of tears, he said, "Prime Minister Tao, is Cao Zhi really dead?"

Tao Merchant sighed, and said: "Actually, I heard the matter from the wolf knights under my command. What is going on, I can't prove it right now, and this matter has nothing to do with me. It's Sikong's family business."

Cao Jie couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears.

Tears also glistened in Madam Ding's eyes.

Tao Shang couldn't bear it when he saw this, he said to Mrs. Ding: "Mrs. Ding, I invite you here this time because I want to send someone to take you and Cao Guiren back to show Cao Sikong my sincerity to him. Cao Sikong peace talks, re-demarcation of the territory, I will send you there after I get ready."

Madam Ding stared at the Tao merchant, and said, "Tao Cheng hasn't responded to what he said just now."

The pottery merchant took a deep breath, and said: "I said, this is Sikong's family matter, and there is no real evidence, how can I reply to Madam? Madam should go back first, and let Sikong inquire about the future. .”

Chapter 8 Madam Ding Returns

After all, Mrs. Ding did not extract any specific information from the potter's mouth.

But even if no information is drawn out, for now, these things are enough for her.

This is also the final reason why the potter sent the two of them back to Cao Cao.

From Tao Shang's point of view, if the generals under Cao Cao's command were captured alive, it's hard to say whether his method would work, but fortunately, Cao Cao's family members fell into his hands.

One thing is that these female relatives are not on the front line all the year round, and they don't understand the way of this as thoroughly as the generals and counselors.

And the timing was right, as Mrs. Ding and the others had been abandoned by Cao Pi before.

In their hearts, they had already determined what kind of person Cao Pi was, so in terms of subjective consciousness, Mrs. Ding and Cao Jie felt that this matter was done by someone like Cao Pi.

Pottery merchants and Tian Feng just used this excuse to slander Cao Pi, so that Cao Cao could be confused and reveal some flaws, so that they could give themselves a chance.

But what the potters and Tian Feng never expected was that they really got the truth of the matter this time.

Mrs. Ding and Cao Jie were sent away by the potter. When sending them back to Cao Cao's military stronghold, the pottery pretended to issue a peace letter, wanting to negotiate with Cao Cao and re-divide the territory.

Cao Cao is discussing the next offensive strategy with a group of generals in the tent.

In the last full-scale attack, Cao Cao's troops were divided into multiple routes, attacking the village, cutting off food, and sneaking into Xuchang, but they failed all the way, making the potters take precautions.

After the generals returned to report the situation to Cao Cao one after another, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing.

"The Tao family boy is a man. There are many talents around this man, and the power of teamwork is getting stronger and stronger. It is not easy to compare."

But even knowing the difficulties in front of him, Cao Cao could not give up the attack. He had to study the next attack method. The vast land of the Central Plains was his lifeline and the foundation of his life. He would never give up no matter what.

When Cao Cao was discussing the next step with the generals, the guards came to report that the envoy of the pottery merchant had arrived at the camp and had also sent Madam Ding and Miss Cao back.

After hearing these words, everyone present was astonished.

Cao Cao was also stunned.

What kind of tricks is the pottery thief playing?

Cao Cao couldn't figure it out for a while, but he couldn't help it, so he asked someone to invite the envoy in.

After the envoy came in, he expressed the sincerity of the potter to Cao Cao, and said that Prime Minister Tao couldn't bear the suffering of the common people to suffer from the war, and hoped that the two families would live in harmony. Today, he took the initiative to return Madam Ding and Cao Jie. the rest of the family.

Before the emissary finished speaking, Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, the pottery merchant wants to negotiate peace and re-divide the territory? Yes! Tell him to go back to Pengcheng and hand over all Jinling and Nanchang to Cao, then Cao agrees to reconcile with him."

The envoy's face changed suddenly after hearing this.

He said to Cao Cao very seriously: "Cao Sikong, my prime minister really wants to negotiate peace with you."

Cao Cao sneered and said, "You really want to make peace with me? He killed my son, and now he comes to say he wants to make peace with me? It's ridiculous. Cao wants to beat him up!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao drew out his sword, walked up to the messenger, and placed the sword around his neck.

"Accordingly, Cao should have chopped off your head and used it as a memorial to Zhi'er, but since you sent my wife and daughter back, I will spare your life and go back and tell the pottery that Cao will give his surname Tao sooner or later. The whole family was devastated."

The emissary's face turned pale with fright, and he was no longer eloquent as before.

In the face of imminent swords and guns, how many people can show courage?

The envoy left in disgrace, and Mrs. Ding and Cao Jie were taken into the tent.

"Father!" Seeing Cao Cao, Cao Jie couldn't control himself anymore and burst into tears.

Cao Cao comforted his daughter, then turned to look at Madam Ding again: "Madam, I really wronged you."

Mrs. Ding shook her head and said, "Where is the husband talking? I am waiting for this little suffering. It is really hard work for the husband to fight against pottery merchants on the front line."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard the words.

Mrs. Ding has some things that are hard to say in front of the generals. She just wants to wait until later when the husband and wife get together alone, and then tell him about Cao Pi.

But in order to confirm whether some things are true, Mrs. Ding still asked tentatively: "My husband, I heard, I heard, did Zhi'er go?"

When Mrs. Ding said this, tears welled up in Cao Cao's eyes, and the eye circles also turned red.

"Yes, Zhi'er, he did go." Cao Cao said very sadly.

"Sure enough." Madam Ding sighed secretly, but she didn't say anything else.

But Mrs. Ding forgot a very important thing, that is to tell Cao Jie.

After all, her mind is also in a mess now.
