Great Wei Nengchen

During the discussion, a soldier came in to report that Cao Hong, the defeated general, had returned, and the ministers were in an uproar again, wondering how the prime minister would deal with it!

"Boom! -boom! -boom!"

A moment later, Cao Hong entered the hall on his knees, with bare feet and bare feet, and kowtowed three times without saying a word.

Wancheng is not only an important military town, but also the place where the eldest son Cao Ang fell. It has a special meaning, but he lost it by himself. He also killed two nephews and lost tens of thousands of horses. , It is hard to atone for his sin!

Therefore, after Cao Hong regained consciousness, he came to Yecheng day and night, let his own soldiers bind him, and knelt down to plead guilty. As for killing or cutting, there is no complaint at all!

"The loss of soldiers and generals, the loss of cities and territories, and the deterioration of the overall situation in the world, how can you face this old man, the elite soldiers of tigers and leopards obey the order, push out the defeated generals and behead them!"

Cao Cao enforced the law like a mountain. Although he was reluctant to give up, he still gave the order to be beheaded, so that no one would talk behind his back and say that he was bending the law for personal gain!

'Tiger and Leopard Rider' is a confidant of the army, obeying the prime minister's orders, and immediately rushed out several golden armored warriors, ready to push Cao Hong out and behead him, but was stopped by a group of civil and military officials!

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. I hope that the Prime Minister will calm down and let General Zilian go!"

"Beheading the general is not good for the army. Please let Zi Lian take the blame and make meritorious service, and continue to serve the country!"

........................

Brothers of flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan led a group of clan generals, they all knelt down to intercede for Cao Hong, and couldn't bear to see other people's heads fall to the ground!

Xiao Yi and Guo Jia are the sons-in-law of the Cao family, they can't just sit idly by, they also stepped forward to plead for mercy, under their leadership, civil servants and military generals also stepped forward one after another, begging the prime minister for mercy and pardon!

"As the general of the defeated army, he should be beheaded to show the public. Since all the important ministers pleaded for you, I will give you an extrajudicial favor and send the head for the time being. If you commit another crime, you will definitely be beheaded!"

Cao Cao didn't want to kill people at all, but when he saw the civil and military officials pleading for mercy, he went down the slope. There are two reasons:

One: At the beginning when the pursuit of the Xiliang army failed, Cao Cao almost died on the battlefield, but Cao Hong gave up his life to save him and gave up his mount to Cao Cao, so he escaped and ascended to heaven. The kindness of saving his life is unforgettable!

Two things: Xiao Yi has made great achievements in battle, and his power is getting stronger and stronger. He must support the general surnamed Cao in order to compete with him. Cao Hong is one of the backbone of the clan, and he is loyal. Killing him is not good for the overall situation!

However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Cao Hong was punished with fifty army sticks, and his General Zhengnan was dismissed, and he was demoted to the use of ordinary school lieutenants. He was fined 1 taels of gold and paid for the families of the fallen soldiers!

"Crack! - Crack! Crack!"

Several warriors dragged Cao Hong out, tied him to a bench, and slammed his back with military sticks.

Fortunately, the soldiers knew the seriousness, and only cut the skin and flesh without hurting the bones. After the execution, they applied golden sore medicine, and then wrapped it carefully with white silk. It only took a month or two to recover!

Cao Hong was also considered a man. Although he was tortured in pain, he stood upright without saying a word, and then dragged his bloody body, and climbed back to the lobby. Thank you, Prime Minister, for not killing him, and thank you, Wenwu, for your plea!

Regarding the division of troops and dispatch of generals, specific arrangements were also made for Li Dian to lead [-] troops to Shouchun to assist Zhang Liao in resisting Jiangdong together and ensure that the Jianghuai area is safe!

Let Le Jin command [-] troops, stationed in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, and together with Cao Ren, the guard of Xuchang, to ensure the safety of the lair, especially to monitor the movements of the 'big ear thief'!

Cao Cao personally edited a letter, sent envoys to Hanzhong, and presented a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. He hoped to maintain friendship with Zhang Lu. !

"The big-eared thief is a man who has been repeatedly defeated. Why did he become reborn when he arrived in the land of Jingxiang? In the first battle, tens of thousands of me were killed, and Wancheng was also captured. There must be someone behind to help!"

After the matter was settled, Cao Cao began to reflect. After all, Cao Hong is a brave general, and he has been in the army for many years. It is not easy to beat him to death!

"My lord, the Prime Minister, Liu Bei has gained a new military adviser, Xu Shu. This man has no plans and uses soldiers like a god, so our army has suffered a crushing defeat!"

On the way of fleeing, Cao Hong also tried every means to find out. It is not shameful to lose in a battle. At least he knows who he lost to?

"Military advisor Xu Shu... Wizard Yingchuan... It's going to be bad, this one is scary, and the ones behind are even more terrifying!"

Hearing Xu Shu's name, Cao Cao and the rest of the civil and military personnel were quite puzzled, obviously they didn't know anything about it, except for two people, one was Cheng Yu, a counselor, with a look of surprise on his face; the other was Xiao Yi, with a feeling of fear in his heart She was not afraid of Xu Shu, but worried about another person--Wolong!

Chapter 1052 Nanyang Wolong, a talent through the sky and the latitude!

"Xu Shu, character Yuanzhi, native of Yingchuan, was extremely intelligent and loyal. At the end of the Zhongping period, he traveled the world with his sword. He once avenged and murdered his friends. He was famous for his chivalry. After that, he learned from others and visited famous teachers all over the world. , often talking with Sima Hui, and learning the art of governing the country!"

The counselor Cheng Yu stood up and introduced Xu Shu's background, personality, and experience in detail... Everyone listened with gusto and showed their admiration.

The world is in chaos, heroes come out in large numbers, or strategizing, or galloping on the battlefield, most of them are partial talents on one side, the all-round talents who can write to secure the world, and use martial arts to make the world, but there are very few, Xu Shu can be regarded as one up!

"It's such a pity that a genius belongs to Liu Bei, like a beautiful jade falling into a quagmire. The big-eared thief has won this magi, and his wings are gradually plump!"

Cao Cao showed regret with the boxing case. He has two major hobbies in his life: one is to find plump and beautiful mature women, and hide them in the back house; How can Xu Shu not be moved by his ability?

In addition, Liu Bei has a dark belly and a thick skin with great ambitions. He is a hero in troubled times, but he is out of luck and wandering around. Now that he has the help of a wizard, he must soar into the sky. If you want to suppress him, I am afraid it will not be easy. up!

"The ancients said: Although Chu has talents, Jin is practical. Although the genius is under Liu Bei's command, it is not difficult for the prime minister to take it for his own use. His subordinates happen to have a clever plan!

Xu Shu is both civil and military, and he is also a filial son. His father died of illness for many years, only his mother was in the hall, and his younger brother Xu Kang also passed away. His mother had no one to take care of him, and his life was quite miserable!

The prime minister can send his confidants to bring his mother to Yecheng, take care of her well, and then ask the mother to write a letter to summon the son. The most filial Xu Shu will come day and night, and the prime minister will treat him with generous gifts. ? "

Cheng Yu's method is a bit immoral, but it is quite practical. This is also one of his characteristics... he only wants to succeed, and has no bottom line!

"Uh-huh!"

After listening to the strategy, Cao Cao stroked his long beard and said nothing, neither expressing approval nor objecting, or in other words, he had acquiesced!

In the world of great struggle, in order to win, they will do everything they can to win, and taking hostages is one of them. As long as Xu Shu arrives in Yecheng, he will be a high-ranking official with generous salary and treat each other with sincerity. What do you use?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at the guards around him, and was about to send people to Yingchuan to meet Xu Shu's mother forcibly, but he didn't know that the order had not yet been issued, but there were voices of opposition!

"Corporal Lixian, King Wen of Zhou, got Jiang Shang on the banks of the Weishui River. In order to seek loyal help for the wise men, the minister sat on the dragon, and the king pulled the cart, and walked 840 and 840 steps. In exchange for the [-] years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this matter has been passed down through the ages, and the world believes that Good talk!

If the prime minister wants to achieve great things, he should follow the example of King Wen. He is respectful and virtuous, and he is tolerant of all rivers. How can he detain the mother and force the son to return? Even if Xu Shu came to Yecheng, how could he sincerely assist him? Forget the story of 'The Overlord Cooks the Mother'? "

The person who spoke out against it was none other than Da Sima Xiao Yi. In order to dispel Cao Cao's thoughts, he even cited Zhou Wenwang's positive example and Chu Xiangyu's negative example!

When the Chu and Han were fighting, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu several times and fled westward all the way. Almost the whole army was wiped out. It was all thanks to the general Wang Ling who defended Suiyang and blocked the 10 horses from the Western Chu, so that the Han army had a chance to breathe. !

Xiang Yu couldn't attack Suiyang for a long time, so he came up with a plan and sent someone to arrest Li Ling's mother, hoping to recruit Li Ling and take Suiyang City. The sword killed itself!

Xiang Yu was furious, and ordered Li's mother to be boiled into meat soup and distributed to the soldiers of the Chu army. After Li Ling heard the news, he cried bitterly for several days and nights, and vowed to be incompatible with Xiang Yu, and to assist Liu Bang more loyally, and made countless contributions. Enfeoffed as Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, and Marquis of An Guo, he became one of the founding heroes!

Taking Wangling's mother and son as an example, Xiao Yi wanted to tell everyone that the method of "detaining the mother and coercing the son" is not advisable. If it is self-defeating, not only will Xu Shu not come back, but he will also loyally assist Liu Bei!

As for Cao Cao himself, he also deserves the reputation of being unscrupulous, despicable and shameless. After hearing about it, who is willing to join him? The gains outweigh the losses!

"Da Sima is thoughtful and reasonable. The old man's method is too unreasonable. It is really not advisable. It is absolutely not advisable!"

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he waved his hands repeatedly at the crowd, signaling to take back his original plan. He knew that Xu's mother had a strong character, and once she was threatened, she would definitely rather die than surrender!

Xu's mother has three pros and twos. Xu Shu will definitely assist Liu Bei and take revenge on the Cao Ying Group crazily. If he finds out that the plan was contributed by himself, how can he let it go? If a world wizard bears the grudge, Cheng Yu may not be able to sleep or eat. Ann!

"This old man is in charge of the world and has always convinced people with virtue. How can he use despicable means to coerce a genius? Let's discuss the matter of subduing Xu Shu, and there must be a way to get the best of both worlds!"

Cao Cao is also a person who wants face, so it’s fine if he doesn’t talk about this matter. Now that people have made it clear, he can’t carry it out, so as not to be infamous!

Besides, I have Guo Jia in literature and Xiao Yi in martial arts, just like my right arm, Xu Shu really came to vote, and there is still one thing that is difficult to arrange. If you take it lightly, it will inevitably be overkill. Afraid that Xiao Yi and Guo Jia would be unhappy!
