Chapter 821: Cao Cao who wants to save face

The book is picked up again.

"......" Li Zhi was also stunned after hearing Cao Cao's words.

Because he, like Cao Cao, had thought about whether Lu Bu had betrayed, so he would do this kind of thing.

But now they suddenly discovered that Lu Bu didn't betray him at all, but just took revenge on him like a child, so he made such an unintentional mistake, which made Li Zhi not know what to do.

Although Lu Bu must be punished, it is not appropriate to punish Lu Bu too lightly or too severely.

If the punishment is heavy, it will be too wrongful for Lu Bu!

Because the cause of this incident was Li Zhi, if it wasn't for Li Zhi persecuting Lu Bu, then Lu Bu would not have done such a thing.

But if you really want to talk about it, it's no wonder that Li Zhi is not in this matter, if it weren't for Cao Cao's release of water in the affairs of the family, Li Zhi would not have persecuted Cao Cao through Lu Bu.

Therefore, the origin of this matter is Cao Cao, and Lu Bu can't be blamed at all.

Therefore, Lu Bu cannot be heavily blamed.

But if the punishment is light, Cao Cao and Li Zhi will not be able to pass the level in their hearts.

Because, after all, Lu Bu's unintentional mistake caused them a great impact and loss.

If they don't punish them heavily, then Li Zhi and Cao Cao shouldn't sleep well.

"Alas......" After thinking about it for a long time and not coming up with any good solution, Li Zhi sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's eyes showed a look of disappointment, and seeing that Li Zhi had no choice, he felt even more embarrassed in his heart.

He thought the same as Li Zhi, he didn't know what means to use to punish Lu Bu, it couldn't be too light, but it couldn't be too heavy, and the proportions in this were really difficult to grasp.

Lu Bu is not a fool, after he saw Cao Cao and Li Zhi's eyes, he immediately knew that he was afraid that he had caused a big disaster!

But he really couldn't figure it out, he was just insulting Yuan Shao, what trouble did he cause?

Therefore, he asked Cao Cao: "Lord, the subordinates are just insulting Yuan Shao, will it cause big trouble if there are so many?" ”

After saying this, Lu Bu's face was full of doubts, "Before this, his subordinates had also beaten Yuan Shao several times, wasn't there no trouble?" Why get in trouble now? ”

"Alas......" After Cao Cao sighed with a sad face, he pointed to Yuan Shao on the ground and said: "This time is different from the past, in the past, Yuan Shao has always been imprisoned in the prison.

At that time, no matter what you do to him, no one will see it, and it will not be possible to spread it.

Moreover, even some gossip is not a big deal.

As long as we don't admit it, these gossips are fake! ”

After saying this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down for a while, pointed to the army that had gathered around him, and said helplessly: "But now it is different, now we are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Among these hundreds of thousands of eyes, there is always some family liner

, they will definitely convey today's events.

At that time, all the forces in the world that can be ranked will know about what is going on here.

And in this way, it is equivalent to slapping the Yuan family in the face!

If the Yuan family is indifferent, wouldn't it be looked down upon?!

Therefore, your behavior is almost equivalent to forcing the Yuan family to fight with us! Alas......"

When it came to the end, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again.

Although he knew that the Yuan family would definitely fight with them because of Li Zhi's education in the world.

However, if it weren't for being cornered or being greatly insulted, the Yuan family would definitely put their own inheritance first, and would not be able to do their best to fight them.

But now......

The Yuan family can't work hard!

Because if they can't get justice for Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that other families will secretly laugh at the Yuan family, or choose another family leader and no longer recognize the Yuan family!

Because a family that can't even protect its own eldest son is really difficult to trust.

"......" Lu Bu's face changed drastically after listening to Cao Cao's explanation, and then a look of struggle appeared on his face.

After a long while, there was a strange brilliance in his eyes, and he raised his head to Cao Cao and asked, "Lord, what are you going to do now?" Otherwise, hand over his subordinates to calm the anger of the Yuan family, right? ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes were fixed on Cao Cao, not letting go of any expression.

After Cao Cao heard Lu Bu's words, his face changed greatly, he didn't even think about it, waved his hand, and flatly refused: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Although a certain family does not want to fight to the death with the Yuan family, it is not worthy of letting a certain family hand over their subordinates with just one Yuan family! ”

Cao Cao's words were categorical without a trace of hesitation.

Cao Cao said this and thought so, he didn't care about the revenge of the Yuan family in his heart at all.

Although it may be that the power of the Yuan family is very huge, if he is alone, he will not be able to resist it at all.

If you can pour out one person to keep safe, it is indeed a good deal.

But Cao Cao knew that if he really handed over Lu Bu, it would be equivalent to cutting himself off!

Who is Lu Bu?

That's the number one general under his command!

If he can pour Lu Bu out today, will he be able to hand over the others tomorrow?!

In this way, the morale of his command will be completely lost!

Maybe if he does, the others will leave him immediately!

Therefore, for the sake of his own great cause, Cao Cao categorically rejected Lu Bu's proposal.

"Huh......" Lu Bu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Cao Cao's words.

He didn't really want Cao Cao to hand him over and appease the anger of the Yuan family just now, but wanted to test Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao really wanted him to hand him over, then he would definitely not hesitate to capture Cao Cao, and then use Cao Cao to escape!

He's not a man to sit still!

And now, after hearing Cao Cao's choice, he felt a little inexplicable in his heart.

This is a feeling he has never felt before, and this feeling is called - moving.

Of course, Lu Bu also knew that Cao Cao must have made this decision for his own sake.

However, not everyone has this firm mentality, you must know that it is the Yuan family, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes!

The average prince shuddered a little when he heard this name, let alone confront him.

Therefore, when Lu Bu heard Cao Cao say that he was unwilling to hand him over even if he offended the Yuan family, he was inevitably a little touched in his heart.

And it was precisely because of this kind of emotion that Lu Bu secretly made up his mind that as long as Cao Cao lived up to him, then he would never fail Cao Cao!

"Lord, what should I do now?" After making up his mind, Lu Bu asked Cao Cao again.

"......" Cao Cao gritted his teeth after hearing the sound for a while, pointed to Yuan Shao on the ground and said, "In this way, you take Yuan Shao to change into gorgeous clothes as quickly as possible."

Then I'll wait ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face was full of hesitation, and then when he looked at the soldiers who were looking at him around him, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I'll punish him here!" ”

Cao Cao knew that the news of "Yuan Shaoming's canonical punishment" had probably spread throughout the entire military camp.

And the spies who were hiding in the barracks must have known about it.

If he suddenly repented now and didn't deal with Yuan Shao, then people from other forces would definitely think that Cao Cao was afraid of the Yuan family, so he suddenly repented and didn't dare to deal with Yuan Shao.

When the time comes, it will not be the Yuan family that will lose face, but him!

The Yuan family wants face, and he Cao Cao also wants face!

If he had to choose between the face of the Yuan family and his own, then Cao Cao would not hesitate to choose himself!

Therefore, even if Cao Cao was unwilling in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and continued to punish Yuan Shaoming!

Of course, for the sake of years of friendship, Cao Cao didn't want Yuan Shao to leave so embarrassed, so he asked Lu Bu to change Yuan Shao into a new dress.

"No!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Lu Bu nodded happily and agreed.

To be honest, Lu Bu was really afraid that Cao Cao would suddenly repent, because the lord in his mind should be the kind of person who is not afraid of heaven and earth!

And Cao Cao's answer is exactly what he wants!

Therefore, Lu Bu, who was satisfied, immediately picked up Yuan Shao, who was paralyzed on the ground, and hurriedly ran towards his own tent.
