Cao Hong, who resisted Liu Jun, is dead, and there is no Cao Jun in the entire Xiaopei who is willing to resist.

The Lord had ordered surrender before he died, and they chose to surrender whether they obeyed the order or saved their lives.

Although Cao Hong stubbornly defended Xiaopei, resulting in heavy losses for the Liu army, Guan Yu and other Liu army commanders did not have any disrespect for Cao Hong's corpse, and this enemy general who would rather die than surrender deserved their respect. After all, they don't know if they will die on the battlefield one day, and they also hope that they can be respected by others if they die in battle.

The general died in a hundred battles, no matter how hated he was in life, it became a thing of the past after death.

Cao Hong's body was collected by Liu Jun, and a coffin of a good man was prepared.

Zhao Yun took the initiative and asked some Cao Jun to escort Cao Hong's body back to Shouchun. This move was approved by everyone, and many Cao soldiers who were reluctant to surrender to Liu Jun at first were willing to join Liu Jun, which Zhao Yun did not expect.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun expressed their gratitude for Lu Bu's arrival, and they thought that if it wasn't for Lu Bu's thousand-mile attack, I am afraid that this Xiao Pei would not know what year and month it would be able to capture.

Lu Bu didn't take all the credit for himself, he pushed Pang Tong out and said, "Two, it is all Mr. Pang's credit to be able to capture Xiao Pei this time. Don't underestimate Mr. Pang, he is a staff officer appointed to me by His Majesty, and he has the title of the first soldier in Nanzhou. ”

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were stunned, this time the plan was actually thought up by a literati with such an ugly appearance and such a thin body?

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were full of emotion in their hearts, they were really unseemly. They looked at Guo Tu at the same time, and the meaning was obvious, your Guo Tu looks much stronger than the other party, but this resourcefulness is too bad.

It seems that this resourcefulness is not directly proportional to appearance.

Guo Tu also wondered that his nephew was betting against this Pang Tong and failed. Now it's his turn to lose to Pang Tong, which is not a good feeling.

"I have seen the two generals and Lord Guo, and I have heard the names of the two generals for a long time, and it is really an honor to meet today." Pang Tong's face was flat, as if the person who was so excited before was not him.

As he said himself, Xiao Pei is really out of his mind.

"I've seen Mr. Pang!" Zhao Yun and Guan Yu also saluted Pang Tong.

Several people chatted happily in Xiaopei City, and the relationship between them deepened a lot. Even Guo Tu, who had a holiday with Pang Tong before, also had a much better relationship with Pang Tong. Pang Tong convinced them with his talents.

After this battle, Pang Tong was quickly recognized by Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun, and became one of the top strategists in their hearts.

After a brief rest, Lu Bu and Pang Tong left Xiaopei with the Bingzhou wolf horse.

Now that Xiao Pei had taken it, Pang Tong felt that he should let the Wolf Riders continue to use their mobility to go elsewhere to assist friendly forces, or disrupt the support of other Cao troops. This decision was recognized by Lu Bu and others.

So Lu Bu and Pang Tong left Xiaopei with the Bingzhou wolf horse, but they didn't tell anyone where they were going next.

The news that Xiao Pei was captured by the Shenwu Imperial Court quickly spread.

This was deliberately spread by Pang Tong, in order to let the whole world know that the general trend of Liu Yu's unification of the Central Plains was irreversible.

When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's battle report was transmitted back to Luoyang, Lu Bu and Pang Tong took the wolf ride of Bingzhou to make trouble in Yanzhou. With Pang Tong as the staff officer of the army, Lü Bu and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry fought more easily, and almost reduced the losses to a minimum.

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he received such a battle report, and said to Dian Wei and Li Gui: "Shiyuan is really a talent, he was really born for the battlefield." ”

"It's all Your Majesty's discerning talents!" Dian Wei and Li Gui coincidentally patted Liu Yu's ass.

Although Pang Tong was captured by them, they never thought that Pang Tong, an ugly monster, could have such great ability.

Liu Yu immediately released Xiao Pei's battle report to the world, so that everyone in the world knew that Yanzhou had almost fallen into his mouth.

Liu Yu's subjects were greatly encouraged, and they knew that His Majesty had taken another big step forward in ruling the world, and they came out to congratulate each other.

When Tai Shici, the commander of the Jiangdong Army in Guangling County, Xuzhou, heard the news, he knew that he had delayed the fighter plane, and ordered his troops to strengthen the defense of Guangling, so as not to be attacked by Liu Jun taking advantage of the aftermath of victory. Tai Shi Ci immediately arranged for his subordinates to convey the news to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, hoping that they could give him some instructions.

Shouchun's side was in the opposite situation with Luoyang, Cao Cao heard that Xiaopei had fallen and Cao Hong had died in battle, and he almost couldn't bear it.

In particular, Zhao Yun arranged for Xiaopei Cao Jun to send Cao Hong's body back, and brought Cao Hong's last words to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao cried for it and said, "Zilian, why are you so hard!" ”

Cao Jun's subordinates all showed deep pain, among which Cao Ren was even more crying, Cao Hong and Cao Ren had the best relationship, Cao Hong's death, Cao Ren was the saddest one.

Cao Ren said: "Lord, Zilian died so miserably. The last general is willing to lead the army to recapture Xiaopei and avenge Zilian! ”

"General Zixiao, your mind is understood. But now our army does not have too many troops to recapture Xiaopei. Xun Yu didn't want Cao Ren to get too excited, lest he fall into the enemy's calculations.

"What did you say!" Cao Ren was excited on the spot, walked up to Xun Yu and shouted, "Could it be that Zilian died in vain?" Won't Xiao Pei take it over? ”

Cao Ren's saliva sprayed Xun Yu's face.

Xun Yu was very calm in the face of Cao Ren's angry rebuke, and said lightly: "General Zixiao, please calm down!" ”

"Calm down? How calm do you tell me! Zilian is dead, my good brother is dead! Don't you know?! It's not your brother who died! Cao Ren was even more excited, forgetting Xun Yu's identity, grabbed Xun Yu's collar, and was about to beat Xun Yu.

"General Zixiao, no!" The others hurried over and grabbed Cao Ren.

Everyone pulled and pulled into a mess, and the scene was almost uncontrollable.

"Enough!" Cao Cao, who was sitting on the upper seat, looked at his chaotic subordinates and slapped the table angrily.

The sound made everyone stop moving, and everyone returned to their positions and bowed their heads in silence. Cao Ren let go of Xun Yu's collar and knelt on the ground.

"Zilian died in battle, and Lone was very heartbroken. Zilian's revenge must be avenged, and Xiaopei must also be taken back! What kind of system is it to be noisy here, and do you not put loneliness in your eyes! Cao Cao scolded angrily.

Cao Ren knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The last general is guilty, please punish the lord!" ”

"Go down and get fifty sticks!" Cao Cao did not show half a point of mercy to Cao Ren, and Cao Ren's actions just now had violated Cao Cao's bottom line. Cao Cao did not allow his subordinates to have contradictions.

"Yes!" Cao Ren simply turned around and walked out to receive the punishment. If he did something wrong, he should accept Cao Cao's punishment.

Soon the sound of Cao Ren being slapped with a military stick came, and no sound from Cao Ren was heard in the middle.

Everyone wanted to ask for mercy, but when they saw Cao Cao's expression, they all closed their mouths.

After the beating of the fifty military sticks, Cao Ren returned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao waved him back to his place.

Cao Ren, who had received fifty military sticks, walked back to his position without changing his face.

If it weren't for the bloodstains behind Cao Ren, others would have thought that Cao Ren had not been punished at all. Everyone secretly admired Cao Ren's toughness, worthy of a fierce general.

Cao Ren threw an apologetic look at Xun Yu, he was really out of shape just now, and now he thinks about it a little bit sorry for Xun Yu.

Xun Yu is a broad person, and he smiled back at Cao Ren's apologetic eyes, he had already forgiven Cao Ren. Cao Hong is dead, and it is normal for Cao Ren to be excited.

"Send Zilian back to his home, and bury him with the gift of the former military marquis!" Cao Cao first arranged Cao Hong's afterlife.

"The lord is wise!" Everyone nodded.

"Now that Xiaopei has been captured, the east gate of Yanzhou has been opened. Let's talk about it, what should we do next? Cao Cao regained the posture of a male lord.

"Lord, Xiao Pei must be taken back! Otherwise, Yanzhou would not be owned by our army. Cheng Yu came out and said.

Cao Cao knew this, and then asked, "Then who leads the army, and how many troops are needed?" ”

Cao Ren, who had just received fifty military sticks, came out and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to recover Xiaopei!" ”

Cao Cao nodded straight, Cao Ren is a rare fierce general in the Cao family, and with his departure, he may be able to regain the lost territory. Cao Cao thought to himself, then let Cao Ren go.

"Lord, this must not be done!" Guo Jia blocked Cao Cao's decision.

"Why?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, Xiaopei's enemy army has gathered three fierce generals, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu, although General Zixiao is extremely brave, but his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. I got the news that the capture of Xiao Pei this time was mainly a strategy by a strategist named Pang Shiyuan, and the enemy army had the combined efforts of fierce generals and wise men, and Xiao Pei could not be taken back. ”

Guo Jia's meaning is very clear, that is, Cao Ren is very brave, but the other party is more brave than him, not to mention that the other party has the help of wise people, and the probability of winning is even lower.

Guo Jia has always spoken with great weight, and no one under Cao Cao has any objections to his opinion, and Guo Jia is also telling the truth.

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao wondered what the first wise man under his command would do.

"There is no hope for our army to recapture Xiaopei now, and there is no point in throwing troops into Yanzhou again. So since we can't get it, we can't let Liu Yu get a complete Yanzhou! Guo Jia's face was fierce, and his suggestion was really a bit vicious.

Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and other wise people were all frightened by Guo Jia, this is not Guo Jia's style. Xun You and Xun Yu turned their heads to look at Cheng Yu, thinking that this guy asked Guo Jia to say it?

Cheng Yu knew what they meant, but he didn't want to explain too much, it was useless to say too much, he blamed himself for the ruthless tactics he had made before, and it was no wonder that they thought like this.

"Can't you let Liu Yu get a complete Yanzhou? Guo Fengxiao, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless! Tell you, Lone can't do it! Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Guo Jia's proposal, and this was the first time he rejected Guo Jia's proposal.

Guo Jia knelt directly in front of Cao Cao and said pleadingly: "Lord, it's not that you are ruthless, but if Liu Yu is allowed to seize Yanzhou, then our Yuzhou will not have any strength to resist Liu Yu in the future." How Yuan Shu was defeated back then, doesn't the lord know? Now it's better to take advantage of the fact that we still have a certain strength, draw back all the military strength of Yanzhou, and destroy Yanzhou, leaving a mess for Liu Yu, and then strictly defend it at various checkpoints in Yuzhou, so that Liu Yu can be stopped. Please think twice! ”

Everyone else knew that Guo Jia's proposal was correct, and it was impossible to recapture Xiao Pei right now. Yanzhou has lost its defensive value, and it is better to take back all its military strength. As for destroying Yanzhou, they agreed in their hearts. But they couldn't say this, after all, this thing was too ruthless and hurt the peace.

Now it depends on Cao Cao's intentions, and only whether Cao Cao can accept this proposal or not.

Cao Cao stood up and shouted: "Although Lone is ruthless, but in this matter, Lone can't do it!" ”

"Think twice!" Guo Jia was in a hurry.

Cheng Yu also stood up and said: "My lord, what Feng Xiao said is the best choice for our army now. Only such a loyal person as Feng Xiao will speak, and he will second what Feng Xiao said, and please think twice! ”

"Lone can't do it!" Cao Cao refused again.

Xun Yu and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and they nodded to each other.

"Please also ask the lord to listen to the words of filial piety!" Xun Yu said politely.

Xun You said: "Please think twice!" ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Xun Yu and Xun Yu to say this, and said in horror: "Wen Ruo, Gongda, you ...... How could you do the same? ”

"My lord, I feel that the words of filial piety are the best choice, although this move is very unkind, but it is the best choice for our army!" Xun You said his reasoning.

Xun Yu didn't say anything else, and said simply: "Lord, please think twice." ”

The other ministers and generals all knelt down under the leadership of these four people, and said in unison: "Please think twice!" ”

The situation of so many people persuading Cao Cao is the first time in Cao Cao's camp.

What kind of person is Cao Cao, the overlord who is not born in the world, in the face of this situation, he will not flinch at all.

I saw Cao Cao scolding domineeringly: "Do you want to rebel?!" ”

Everyone was suppressed by Cao Cao's domineering, and none of them could speak again.

Cao Cao frowned coldly, and scolded: "The lonely world is favored by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the people of Yanzhou are the people of the Han Dynasty, no matter how ruthless the lonely is, he can't do that." Lone is not that kind of person, Lone still has a conscience! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Destroy Yanzhou, what will the descendants of thousands of years later say lonely? Are you going to make Lone a sinner for the ages?! ”

And they all bowed their heads.

After Cao Cao vented, he was in a much better mood. At this time, a little eunuch came over and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, Your Majesty is invited!" Please also ask the prime minister to enter the palace quickly. ”

"Your Majesty?" Cao Cao thought to himself, what did Liu Xie ask him to do in the palace at this time?
