Everyone raised their eyes and shouted, the person who couldn't shout was Cao Cao's chief strategist Xun Yu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Cao Cao's eyes, a trace of imperceptibility instantly flashed, as if there was a relieved look.

That look flashed away, and then, his face sank, glared at Xun Yu and said, "Do you want to let you sit alone and watch more than a dozen relatives being killed by pottery thieves, and sit back and watch your wife and daughter not save them?" ”

In the face of Cao Cao's questioning, Xun Yu did not have the slightest shame, walked a few steps forward, held his head high and said loudly to Cao Cao, righteous and stern: "The life of the Sikong people, the life and death of his wife and daughter, after all, is only a private matter of Sikong alone, and the Son of Heaven is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and the society is related, if it is obtained by the pottery thief, then the entire Han world, there is a danger of another Dong Zhuo rebellion, I don't know how many people will die, this is the matter of the world's great duke, how can Sikong abolish the public because of private affairs, abandon the country and the community, and the people of the world ignore it." ”

Xun Yu is impassioned, righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he holds the justice of the world, and no one can disobey him.

Cao Cao was silent again, and he was speechless for Xun Yu's generosity for a while.

The civil and military forces on the left and right, including Cao Ang, the son of the Cao family, were also silent, and no one dared to suggest Cao Cao, and agreed to the conditions offered by the pottery merchants.

After all, everyone understands the importance of the country and the overall situation.

"The pottery thief, exterminating humanity, dares to force each other like this......"

In silence, Cao Cao secretly gritted his teeth and cursed the potter, and when he slowly raised his head, his teeth were clenched, and looking at that expression, he seemed to have some kind of enlightenment.

Just when he raised his hand slightly, wanting to make a helpless decision, suddenly, messy footsteps sounded, and two teenagers, one in front of the other, actually broke into the lobby.

"Father, you must not listen to Xun Yu's nonsense, you have to save your mother and sister......" The young man who rushed in knelt in front of Cao Cao, hugged Cao Cao's thigh and cried.

The young man who followed behind, a little older, looked like he wanted to pull him, but he couldn't pull him, seeing that something had happened, he could only make a bitter face, and also stood in front of Cao Cao, bowing his head and sighing.

Cao Cao's face changed immediately, and he frowned and shouted: "Zhi'er, Pi'er, who let you break in, don't let me out quickly!" ”

The young man kneeling in front of him was his third son Cao Zhi, who was only eight years old, and the young man who bowed his head and sighed, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, was his second son Cao Pi.

The young Cao Zhi ignored his father's reprimand, turned his eyes to Xun Yu again, stared at a pair of big eyes with tears, and scolded angrily: "Xun Yu, you cruel and ruthless guy, why do you instigate your father not to save your mother and sister, you guy is so poisonous." ”

As the chief strategist of Cao Ying, being reprimanded in public by a child of a few years old is obviously a great humiliation, and if you are a bystander, I am afraid that you will already be annoyed and angry at this time.

Xun Yu didn't, his face always maintained a selfless expression, facing Cao Zhi's reprimand, he only stroked his goatee lightly, and said lightly: "Third son, you are still young, you don't know what is the importance of the community, and what is the importance of the overall situation." In the face of the overall situation of the society, everyone must make sacrifices, the soldiers of the three armed forces can be sacrificed, how many benevolent and righteous people can be sacrificed, why can't your mother and sister be sacrificed? Sooner or later, you'll understand this truth. ”

Xun Yu is like a gentleman with national loyalty, looking down on this unangry student on the ground, patiently enlightening him, educating him, hoping to lead him to the right path.

The generals on the left and right seemed to be deeply moved by Xun Yu's words, and they all thought about it, as if they had a deeper understanding of the spirit of sacrifice.

Cao Cao also nodded slightly, and his eyes showed a bit of understanding.

"Whew!"

Cao Zhi was like an unteachable naughty boy, instead of being enlightened, he snorted at Xun Yu and scolded: "You are a sour Confucian, you will talk about some righteous and awe-inspiring, empty pedantic truths, since you like to talk about sacrifice so much, why don't you sacrifice yourself, but do you have to sacrifice my mother and sister?" It's clear that you are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Xun Yu was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment immediately flashed across his iron-faced selfless face.

Xun Yu, who thinks he is famous all over the world, one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, the strategist of the first battalion of Cao Ying, is usually admired by everyone, even if it is Cao Cao, he does not dare to treat him as a lord, more often, he treats each other as a half-monarch and half-friend.

Xun Yu never imagined that in his own capacity, he would be openly ridiculed by a seven-year-old child in front of everyone, scolding him for being sour, scolding him for being pedantic, and ridiculing him for only saying and not doing, only knowing how to let others sacrifice, but he didn't dare.

No matter how good Xun Yu's temper is, his face is a little unbearable at this time, and his face, which was originally as majestic as a mountain, instantly flushed with a trace of gloom.

Cao Cao was surprised, he didn't seem to expect that his third son, who had been very talented in poetry since he was a child, would say such unexpected words and dare to satirize Xun Yu's sour Confucianism in public.

This temper, this boldness, is a bit of Cao Cao's own shadow of his youth.

For a while, instead of being angry and reprimanding Cao Zhi in time, Cao Cao secretly admired it in his heart.

"Third brother, Hugh has to be rude to Mr. Wenruo!"

At this time, Cao Pi, who had been silent, suddenly had a seizure and drank at his younger brother, "Mr. Wen Ruo is high-spirited, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death." I believe that if one day, the society is in danger, and when Mr. Wen Ruo must sacrifice, he will definitely choose to sacrifice without hesitation without hesitation. ”

Cao Pi's words were amazing, and in the lobby, everyone looked moved, and their eyes looked at the second son of the Cao family, who was ordinary on weekdays.

It was a look of astonishment.

Among the brothers of the Cao family, Cao Ang is the eldest son, who is not weak in force and looks dignified.

Cao Zhi, the third son, has been extremely talented in literature since he was a child, and even a great scribe like Xun Yu sighs at the poetry he writes.

As for the fourth son, Cao Zhang, although he is younger, he has already shown an outstanding talent in martial arts, and over time, he will be able to temper into a good general.

These three sons all have their own strengths, but Cao Pi, the second son, is mediocre, there is nothing eye-catching, and he is usually silent, so people can't see what this young man is thinking.

Everyone didn't expect that this ordinary second son would be able to say such a big truth, and he would understand the righteousness.

"The second prince is young, he can understand the righteousness so deeply, and in terms of spiritual consciousness, it seems that he is better than the eldest prince......" Xun Yu stroked his goatee and nodded slightly, with a bit of "the son can be taught" in his eyes.

Even if it was Cao Cao, his eyes couldn't help but pass with strange colors, obviously he didn't expect that his second son, who was usually not very eye-catching, would be able to say this truth, and he couldn't help but look a little different.

Cao Zhi was also surprised, but his surprise was that his second brother was surprised that he wanted to help outsiders and kill his mother in the face of Xun Yu, a sour Confucian.

Cao Zhi was angry, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted at Cao Pi: "Second brother, are you crazy, how can you help him speak, he wants to kill his mother and sister, if they die, our family will be over." ”

Cao Pi had helpless tears in his eyes, but he choked up and said: "My brother doesn't want my mother and sister to have anything to do, but if there is no country, how can we have a home, how can we ignore the righteousness of the country for our own home." ”

"What has no country, how can there be a home, it's all fallacy and heresy, isn't the country just to protect the family, if the home is broken, what's the use of the country!" Cao Zhi was unmoved and yelled angrily.

Cao Pi was speechless for a while, and seemed to be stopped by Cao Zhi's words, and he was embarrassed for a while.

However, he quickly regained his composure, and his young face was filled with unprecedented righteousness, and he said impassionedly: "Third brother, you can't be so selfish, everything must be based on the country's social welfare, only we sacrifice ourselves for the country, how can we sacrifice the interests of the country for ourselves." ”

Cao Pi said a great truth, so that everyone present was moved and deeply infected.

Cao Zhi was not moved at all, snorted disdainfully, and said resolutely: "I only know that birds and beasts will protect their families at all costs, are you not as good as birds and beasts, second brother?" ”

Cao Pi's body was shocked, and he was choked speechless, but he didn't expect that he, the third brother, couldn't explain the sage's reasoning, and he actually came up with some "crooked reasoning and heresy" of beasts.

Cao Zhi stood up from the ground, looked around at everyone present, including Cao Cao and Xun Yu, and said sharply: "I don't care about your hypocritical truths, I only know that the world and the earth are not as big as my family, if this broken country has to sacrifice my family to keep it, such a country, such a society, what else do you want it to do, don't ...... it."

Syllable!

Before the word "strike" was spoken, Cao Cao was completely enraged, and he threw it out with a slap, knocking Cao Zhi to the ground.

"Full of nonsense, you dare to be disrespectful to the society, disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, have you taught everything that Lone usually teaches you to the belly of a dog? Come on, drag this ignorant child down to Lone, face the wall and think about it, no one will allow him to come out without Lone's order. ”

As soon as Cao Cao gave the order, several servants hurriedly followed in and forcibly dragged Cao Zhi out.

"Father, you can't be so ruthless, you have to save your mother, you have to save your sister, father ......"

Cao Zhi's crying gradually faded away, and in the lobby, calm finally returned.

At this time, Cao Pi sighed deeply again, and said to Cao Cao: "Father, the third brother is also bent on saving his mother and sister, so he will say these ridiculous words, please remember that he is out of filial piety, don't punish him." ”

Xun Yu and other civil and military ministers on the left and right nodded secretly, holding appreciative eyes at Cao Pi, appreciating him for his generosity to intercede for Cao Zhi regardless of his past suspicions.

"Pi'er, ......"

Cao Cao gently stroked his head and nodded slightly, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of relief and appreciation.

"Father, what are we going to do now?" Cao Ang asked.

Cao Cao was silent, and his eyes were all resolute.

……

Two days later, the Tao army camp, the Chinese army big tent.

"Sure enough, it's still as I expected......"

Holding the information from Ye County, the potter shook his head and sneered, got up and sighed, "Let's go, go see the Bian family mother and daughter." ”
