Chapter 1240: The Fourth Son of the Cao Family (for the Alliance Leader: Garyhihiture Plus 1/3)

Not only did Bai Xiaowen turn around, but even Xun was a little curious.

Xun Chayan's ability to observe color is very strong, and it can be seen from Bai Xiaowen's expression that it does not seem to be fake, that is to say, the fire of Xu Du is indeed not released by the Youzhou army.

Besides, Bai Xiaowen had no reason to do so.

Then Xun himself did not order the arson, who did it

Escorted up were more than a dozen men dressed in servant clothes, all of whom looked panicked.

"Where is the fire?" asked Bai Xiaowen.

A Youzhou soldier replied, "Hui Gongzi, it is said to be the granary of Xudu." ”

"Oh" Bai Xiaowen's eyes stared at the dozen or so servants, "Who ordered you to burn the granary?"

A dozen servants cowered, but they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

"Hmph, even if you don't say it, I can find out" Bai Xiaowen said sharply, "Cut these people down for me." ”

Xu Du was first broken, and it was time to kill people and make people fearful. Otherwise, the internal instability will not be able to hold Xu Du for 12 hours even if Bai Xiaowen has 20,000 soldiers, which is a requirement for the hero's side quest.

However, at the end of the line, a child who was carried by the back of the neck by the soldier struggled to jump out, "I let the fire be set by me"

This child is richly dressed and inlaid with gold and jade, and at first glance he is not an ordinary child.

Bai Xiaowen didn't even have to lose his insight to know who this kid was. However, he still had to say, "Who are you, don't make trouble here"

The child was not afraid, and said loudly, "My father is Prime Minister Cao Cheng, I am Cao Chong, and I ordered the granary to be burned, don't be angry with others."

"Cao Cao's fifth son" Bai Xiaowen smiled, "It's a little interesting, why did you think of burning the granary, but it's your own grain." ”

Cao Chong said

"You seem to have a lot of people, but in fact you are a lone army, and you are lightly armed and sneak attack, and you must not carry much food. I, Yuzhou, two counties, four countries, and ninety-seven cities, heard the news of the fall of Xudu, and the army of King Qin will definitely come to the aid in the starry night

"If I leave you a granary, you can rely on the fortified city of Xudu to defend it. Burn the grain and grass, and if you have no food, you will abandon the city and flee, and then you will be a bird in a cage, and you will not be able to fly with wings."

Now the soldiers of the four realms of Yuzhou are all moved when they hear the wind. Xu Dushen is in the territory of the enemy, if Bai Xiaowen leads 20,000 Youzhou troops to abandon the city and flee, it is very likely to be intercepted by Yuzhou soldiers and horses, and even the Guandu Cao army who returned to help. But they had to defend the city, and there was no food or grass to spend.

Cao Chong's metaphor of the caged bird is very appropriate.

"Little boy, be cautious" Xun Wei was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would be angry, kill Cao Chong, wave his hand and shake his head, and dissuaded.

Bai Xiaowen laughed: "Xun Lingjun can't help but underestimate me Yuan Xi too much." The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should stand up with benevolence and faith, educate with righteousness and reason, and establish the country with martial arts. How can you kill a child because of his special qualifications?"

Xun's face softened.

Bai Xiaowen looked at Cao Chong with admiration, "It is indeed rare to have such insight at a young age." It's a pity that the intelligence is exposed, like a peacock opening the screen, but I don't know that showing off Ling Yu is jealous, which is the way to die. It's not as good as your brother, who looks mediocre on the outside, but is actually forbearing. ”

Cao Pi looked panicked, and his head hung lower.

Bai Xiaowen walked in front of Cao Pi. Seeing that behind Cao Pi, there was still a woman wearing Qiluo, so he asked, "Who is this?"

Cao Pi lowered his head and said, "This is the Humble Jing Ren Clan." "Note

Bai Xiaowen sighed with emotion, in the romance, Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Mi was taken away by Cao Pi. The current situation has been reversed.

However, Bai Xiaowen's emotion was just a thought, and he would not have a bad taste because of this, and he had to take away the Ren family from Cao Pi.

First, in front of Xun and many scribes of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Xiaowen must be decent, and his reputation cannot be ruined. In this way, you can become the master of power and gather talents.

Second, Ren's really looks average, compared with Zhen Mi, it is like chaff to fine wine, there is no comparison.

Soon, another winged cavalry came to report, saying that Bai Sanniang's general Cecilia had killed the Cao army guards in the palace and occupied the palace, and asked Yuan Xigongzi to go as soon as possible and meet the Son of Heaven.

Xun's eyes looked over.

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "I'll go to see the Son of Heaven now." As for tying up and taking away all the four sons of Cao Thief here."

Xun hurriedly said, "Childe, the two armies are fighting, and they will not hurt their families, this is the way of benevolence." Moreover, Gongzi had promised not to hurt Cao Chong's life. ”

Xun is telling the truth, the Ming lord of the Three Kingdoms era, after breaking the city, will generally treat the enemy's family members well to the so-called people and leave a line, and they will see each other in the future. For example, Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, and he also had someone to protect Liu Bei's family.

Under what circumstances do you not need to leave a line, when the other party hangs up and the power tree under his command is scattered, he will naturally dispose of it at will, and he doesn't have to worry about tearing his face.

Now Cao Cao still has an army of Guandu, and his strength is strong, and he is far from the time when the tree falls. It doesn't hurt to be nice to his family, and he can make a good name.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "What Xun Lingjun said is good, although Cao Cao is a thief, I will not alarm his family, and I will send people to guard the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and prevent soldiers and horses from entering." However, his four sons cannot be treated equally, and I need to take them with me to rest assured. ”

Xun Moran, Bai Xiaowen is reasonable, Cao Cao's four sons are not easy people, even the youngest Cao Chong can have the urgency to burn the granary and cut off the road of the Youzhou army, of course, none of them can be released.

Bai Xiaowen said again: "I'm going to see the Son of Heaven now." Xun Lingjun and all the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, please also sit here and don't move. It would be a pity if I was misunderstood by my sergeant and fled, and blood was splashed five steps. ”

Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered two elite lieutenants to lead his 500 subordinates to guard the people present, and strictly ordered "If anyone escapes, he will be beheaded immediately." ”

After arranging everything, Bai Xiaowen took the rest of the soldiers and escorted Cao Pi and the other four people to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, Bai Xiaowen did not rush to the palace as soon as possible, but led the army to continue to clean up the remaining areas of Xudu, focusing on restricting military discipline.

The old and weak soldiers who stayed in Xudu, and those who surrendered were bound with iron chains, and they could be spared death for the time being. As for those who resist, of course, they will be killed.

It didn't take long for the roadway battle in Xudu to come to an end. The 20,000 troops from Youzhou occupied all the main streets of Xudu, and those high-ranking officials and nobles closed their doors tightly, lest the military disaster come and destroy their families and clans.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen can't let the soldiers loot, you must know that the plundering of the soldiers will destroy the homes of Xu Du officials and the reputation of the Yuan family, which will only make Cao Cao happy.

After the situation stabilized, Bai Xiaowen strictly reaffirmed military discipline, and then rushed all the way to the palace.
