"Okay, very good, Wei Xu and Song Xian will obey the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Collect the rebels in the city at once, take them out of the city, set up camp, and take them under your orders!" Xiao Yi immediately assigned tasks to the second general, entrusted them with the heavy responsibility of soldiers and horses, and even supervised the army. None sent!

"promise!"

The second general immediately took the order and went away, gathered the disorderly soldiers, rectified the troops, changed the flag in the army, and served wholeheartedly!

After recruiting the two generals, Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia Army into the city from the north gate, and then passed through the city without stopping. Now the other three gates of Xiapi have surrendered, and only the south gate is still fighting fiercely. "Chen Gongtai, Are you really going to be stubborn?"

Chen Gong was indeed resisting. After learning of Lu Bu's death, he continued to defend the city, and tried to organize soldiers and horses to resist the enemy in street fighting, but the morale of the army was disturbed. Thousands of people poured in, advancing step by step!

In desperation, Chen Gong had no choice but to lead his men back to the edge of the city wall, then back up the city road, and finally retreated into the city tower. They were tightly besieged here, and there was no way to retreat!

"Quick surrender!"

"Quick surrender!"

Cao Jun soldiers rushed from all directions like a tide, shouting loudly, forcing the people in the tower to surrender.

Before entering the city, Prime Minister Cao Cao issued a military order, "Anyone who can capture Chen Gong alive will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and promoted to three ranks. On the other hand, whoever dares to kill Chen Gong will be killed with his life for his life!"

In a word, it must be caught alive!

Therefore, although Cao Jun had an absolute advantage, he did not dare to rush over easily, for fear that the sword and gun would be blind, and if he accidentally injured Chen Gong, it would be terrible. Dare to let it go, for fear that if your hand slips, your life will be gone!

The reason for such a strange order is the embodiment of the contradictions in Cao Cao's inner world. For Chen Gong, he both loves and hates him, and he also has some guilt. He loves his talent, hates his deeds, and is ashamed of his heart. !

Chen Gong is not only Cao Cao's savior, but also a powerful opponent on the battlefield, and a witness to the stains in his life, and all of this stems from one incident~~Manslaughter of Lu Boshe's family!

The process of the matter is also very simple. A frightened bird on the way to escape, because of too much suspicion and over-defense, killed a family by mistake, and then said something too much. As a result, the two like-minded partners completely broke up!

This incident was a heavy burden for Cao Cao, and even affected his whole life. In order to cover up a small mistake, countless big mistakes were caused, especially when the traitor was in his later years, he became suspicious and almost reached the limit. The point of killing innocents is not only character, but also heart knot!

Chen Gong is the key to untie this knot in the heart. In the original time and space, if the key was broken, the knot in the heart would become a dead knot. Now, who can skillfully hold the key and unlock the scourge What about the hearts of countless people?

"This old man would rather die than surrender to the unrighteous!" On the tower, facing the countless Cao troops rushing up, Chen Gong showed no signs of fear, with a horizontal sword on his chest, ready to make a final fight!

My life is bright and fearless. At the moment of the end, I used my passion to splash the enemy's armor and win righteousness into benevolence. It may not be a perfect ending. It's a pity that the mistakes made back then will never have a chance to be corrected!

Thinking of this, Chen Gong first wiped the sword in his hand with the sleeve of his robe, put it on his shoulder, looked at the dark Cao Jun in front of him, and then looked at Xiapi who had been guarding for more than a month. He closed his eyes and exerted force on his wrist, ready to kill himself. !

"Swoosh! ~~ Ding Dong!"

The sword is fast, and the flying arrow is even faster. Just when the sword in Chen Gong's hand was close to his neck, a swallowtail arrow suddenly shot from Cao Jun's crowd. , directly knocked the sword out, and fell far below the city!

He thought that a sword wipe would wipe out all grievances, but in the end he didn't die. Chen Gong couldn't help being stunned, but the sore feeling on his wrist told him that he was really still alive!

At the same time, the surrounding Cao soldiers rushed up, pinched their arms, hugged their backs, hugged their thighs... and locked Chen Gong tightly, for fear that this old man would not think about it, and he would jump into the city to commit suicide or something like that, just now That sword almost scared everyone to death. The Prime Minister's military order is like a mountain. If this uncle really dies, how many brothers will go to hell with him!

As soon as the crowd was divided, Xiao Yi, holding a carved bow in his hand, came out. At the critical moment just now, he shot down the sword with an arrow, which prevented the tragedy from happening~"Mr. to!"

At this point, Chen Gong also gave up struggling, and stared at the person in front of him. He was tall and tall, with a wolf's back and a wasp waist, wearing a cold iron armor with chi patterns, carrying a precious carved bow, and a small black face. Handsome, but with a strange sense of beauty, especially those eyes that are as black as ink and as bright as stars, as if they can see through people's souls!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang?" I haven't seen him yet, but I've heard his name a long time ago. Various legends about this "God of Killing" have filled Chen Gong's ears for a long time. Some people say that he kills people. Such as hemp, bloodthirsty to madness, and the habit of cannibalism, he is the first-class villain in the world!

Some people also say that he is affectionate and righteous, treats his friends with all sincerity, treats his subordinates as brothers, and cares deeply for his family members. He is a rare and unparalleled person in the world!

Some people even say that he is capable of both civil and military skills. He can command an army when he is on a horse, rule the people when he is off a horse, kill people, and keep people alive. He is especially good at writing poems and prose. For the lover of dreams, the words of "marrying a man should marry a ghost face man" spread!

It turns out that the famous "Ghost Face Xiao Lang" actually looks like this. A seemingly ordinary young man has done countless extraordinary things!

"Young lady, how can you follow a thief!" Chen Gong's first impression of Xiao Yi was good, so he was even more distressed. In his opinion, why did such a young man with both civil and military skills and a bright future follow Cao Cao, that treacherous hero? , What a pity that a piece of beautiful jade fell into the mud!

"Hehe, there is no one else, like-minded people!" Xiao Yi replied very simply, the relationship between people is hard to say, just like many people don't like Cao Cao, saying that he is treacherous, insidious, and unscrupulous~~

But Xiao Yi admired Cao Cao very much, even admired him. The same personality, in his opinion, was a man of great talent and boldness, eclectic, and only such a character could calm down the troubled times!

If you don't speculate, it's useless to talk more!

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yi asked the soldiers to invite Chen Gong down, so that he could settle down. Anyway, he got the 'key' in his hand, and the rest, let's polish it slowly, there will be a day when the lock will be unlocked!

515. Chapter 515 The Wrist of the Traitor

"Wan Sheng~~~Wan Sheng!~Wan Sheng!"

Amidst the loud cheers of 10,000+ soldiers, Prime Minister Cao Cao, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, rode into Xiapi City triumphantly, and the last pillar broke. The people, with everything in hand, the emperor's hegemony will also be further improved!

In addition, Xuzhou is also a strategic location in the southeast. It can block the "little bully" Sun Ce from going north to the south and become the best bridgehead. Yuan Shao, a powerful enemy in the north, faced off across the Yellow River, which completely changed the previous unfavorable situation of being surrounded by enemies!

In the Leaping Horse City, Cao Cao hesitated a little, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking about...

"How about the money and food in the treasury in the city?"

"The governor has sent troops to take over and is counting the number, please rest assured, Prime Minister!"

"How are the soldiers placed in the city?"

"The Metropolitan Governor has surrendered Wei Xu and Song Xian, and all the surrendered troops have already left the city. They are reorganized and listened to. Please rest assured, Prime Minister!"

"That~~~ How is Chen Gongtai now, is he alive or dead?"

"The governor captured Mr. Gongtai alive, and he has been properly housed. He has sent people to guard him day and night, and nothing will go wrong!"

"Okay, Xiao Lang knows the heart of this old man very well!" Cao Cao let out a long breath and nodded in admiration. The first two questions were just a cover-up. He really cared about the third thing. He has always hoped to get Chen Gong's understanding, to untangle the knot that has troubled him for a long time, but unfortunately, the grievances are too deep, and he doesn't know how to start!

Water drips through stone, since the person is still there, everything is easy to explain, slowly explain, slowly dissolve!

Immediately, Cao Cao first asked people to post a list to appease the people in the city, and then, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, he went up to the Baimen Tower in the east of the city and held a banquet to celebrate his success!

The battle of Xiapi lasted for more than a month, and it was extremely tragic, with tens of thousands of casualties. The army was completely in trouble, and almost withdrew and returned east. , Naturally, we have to celebrate well, and at the same time, we must also reward the soldiers of the three armed forces. By the way, we will discuss how to digest this big piece of fat in Xuzhou!

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, for personally commanding the six armies and pacifying the five counties of Xuzhou. The meritorious service is unrivaled, and the people of the world look up to it!" The banquet began, and all the civil and military soldiers clasped their fists together to congratulate, and the soldiers downstairs shouted in unison. !

"Hehe, you are overrated. As the saying goes, "fight for the city, kill people to fill the city, fight for the land to fight, kill people to fill the wild, under the great martial arts, there are countless skeletons and bones. The old man has achieved this great achievement today, and the grief in his heart is far away." More than joy!" "Speaking of this, Cao Cao took the golden cup, poured it full, and then threw it to the sky...

"For this first glass of wine, I respect those souls who have been devastated by the flames of war. The common people are innocent, and the ups and downs are all suffering. I hope that the Quartet will be pacified as soon as possible, and the people of the great Han people will have a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"Your Prime Minister has a heart for the world, I'm so admired!" Everyone at the banquet threw their drinks to the sky at the same time, offering sacrifices to the souls who died in the flames of war.

People die in war, not only the soldiers who charge into battle, but also innocent people. Take Xuzhou as an example. It used to have a household registration of one million people, and it was a famous and wealthy state in the world. However, in the past two years, Tao Qian , Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, like a revolving lantern, changed the owner four times in a row~~~

At that time, it wasn't that there were swords and soldiers everywhere, the flames of war continued, and armies from all walks of life came and went, conscription, food, and money... Sometimes they even drove the common people to join the battle, and paved trenches and grounds with their lives. In addition, the plague and famine caused by the war caused more casualties. Some people have estimated in their hearts that the population of Xuzhou has been reduced by at least half, or even more, which is definitely a serious injury!

"God bless, I hope this troubled world will end sooner. The people of Li don't care whether the emperor's surname is Liu, Yuan, or Cao. As long as the world is peaceful, they will be satisfied!"

"This second cup of wine is to honor those warriors who died in battle. If it weren't for their bloody battles, this old man would be able to sit on the tower today and celebrate with wine!"
