Chapter 642: Conditions for Releasing Personnel
It is said that Cao Hong, the vanguard of the Cao army, found that the other party had taken more than 50 important hostages of the Cao family in front of the two armies, including Cao Chong and Cao Yu, and he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. After the adjutant general Chen Wen withdrew from the army, the pioneer Le Jin personally returned to Runan to inform the bad news, and happened to meet Cao Cao at the gate of the city, who was about to wave his army to follow.
Cao Cao had just recovered from missing Cao Angli, and he had a headache when it was good or bad, and he had already had a head wind. At this moment, he heard that Cao Chong was arrested, and he fainted on the spot. Just recovered, the pity is not alone, and the messenger sent by Cao De arrived and told the news that Cao Song had drowned.
Cao Cao could no longer calm the blood in his chest, and a "poof" squirted out. Blood stained the thin golden armor on his chest, and Cao Xiu called the military doctor again and again, and quickly came to heal. Everyone moved Cao Cao back to the city lord's mansion from the new, and at this moment the military doctor had arrived, and he hurriedly applied medicine and massage.
Le Jin jumped anxiously outside the door, but there was nothing he could do, after all, the hostage issue on the front line involved the descendants of the Cao clan, and he could only wait for Cao Cao to wake up before he could ask for orders. After a whole afternoon, Cao Cao finally opened his tired eyes, saw that he was still in the Runan City Lord's Mansion, and saw Xiahou Nan and Cao Xiu standing at the door, and said angrily: "Why am I still here!" ”
Xiahou Nan and Cao Xiu looked at each other, Cao Cao's body was definitely not suitable for traveling far, but Cao Cao's meaning was definitely to go to the front line immediately. Sure enough, Cao Cao directly turned over and sat up, pushed away the dissuading military doctor, and directly ordered: "Prepare a horse for me!" You two aren't going to get ready? ”
Cao Xiu asked Xiahou Nan to summon the tiger and leopard horse, and he dared to ask Cao Cao: "Lord! If there is any order, I can convey it to General Lejin, and the prime minister will still follow the doctor's instructions......."
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this: "Chong'er is suffering on the front line, and you let me, Lao Tzu, recuperate in the rear?" Whoever speaks more will be killed! ”
Cao Xiu hurriedly stopped, Cao Cao had already let Le in and ordered: "Wen Qian, you quickly return to the front line to pass on my general's order, no matter what, you must save Chong'er's life, and the other party will agree to any conditions first!" ”
Le Jin hurriedly agreed: "The prime minister is wise! The so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao: "Go quickly!" Le Jin hurriedly stopped and turned to leave, without even taking a sip of water, and went directly back to the front line to discuss with Cao Hong.
Early the next morning, Yang Feng relined the water's edge, and sure enough, the group of soldiers on the opposite side surrounded the Qingluo umbrella cover, and a handsome gray horse broke away from the brigade and went beyond the range of feather arrows, and a deep and majestic voice sounded: "Is it General Yang on the other side?" I am Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, please come out and speak. ”
Yang Feng was excited in his heart, he was originally a local general, and his position was already low, and now he was able to talk to Cao Cao on an equal footing, thanks to his success in taking risks. Support the bold and starve the timid, and today I have to talk about the conditions with this Prime Minister Cao Cheng.
Yang Feng asked his men to untie Cao Chong and let him sit in front of his saddle, and the two rode towards Cao Cao side by side. Cao Chong's lack of plumbing and some fright, he lost the strength to cry, so he had to be at the mercy of Yang Feng. Cao Cao looked distressed at the clear-eyed Cao Chong being held in Yang Feng's arms, listlessly shouted his father from afar, and was about to step forward, Yang Feng put his sword on Cao Chong's body and shouted: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng stop!" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly restrained the gray shadow, and the two were still six or seven steps away, and asked angrily: "Yang Feng, Chong'er is still a child, don't be embarrassed for him." You have already killed my eldest son Cao Ang, only blame himself for being greedy and stupid, but Cao Chong is not guilty, what conditions are there, you can mention it. ”
Yang Feng's eyes rolled, he had already thought about the conditions, but at this moment he wanted to intensify it, after all, looking at Cao Cao's movements, he really cared about Cao Chong, if he didn't open his mouth at this moment, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life. Yang Feng laughed a few times and said, "If I don't have Cao Chong at hand, I'm afraid I would have been destroyed by Prime Minister Cao Cheng at this moment." ”
Cao Cao was in no mood to rub his tongue with him, so he simply said: "I won't tell you, I used to think that you were just an ant, and I despised you too much, so I was successfully attacked by you." It's also my fault that I failed to restrain my generals and relatives around me. Today I am willing to exchange my body for Chong'er and become your hostage, is this condition good? ”
Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this, Cao Cao was in a high position, and his importance was self-evident, but he didn't expect him to be willing to exchange himself for Cao Chong's life. If Cao Cao is in hand, I am afraid it is much more important than this Cao Chong. But Yang Feng thought about it, Cao Cao was not a plaything that he could control casually, if Cao Cao died in his own hands, his wolf-like subordinates would definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng laughed a few times and said: "The prime minister said that he was laughing, how can there be no prime minister around this great man of heaven?" However, when the prime minister said such a thing, I couldn't help but wonder if my original conditions were too low-level. ”
Cao Cao was originally a child protector, but he didn't expect that a robber like Yang Feng had no morality at all, so he had to wait for him to open his mouth. Cao Cao then said: "In this case, Hugh has to be verbose again, and if there are any conditions, just mention it." ”
Yang Feng's hand with the sword played with Cao Chong's small bun, and when Cao Cao was frightened, Yang Feng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Prime Minister, my first request is naturally that Cao Jun immediately withdraw from Chen County. ”
Cao Cao immediately nodded and said, "There is no problem with this. ”
"Second, after the withdrawal of troops, heavy troops shall not be deployed in Chen County and Qian County for at least three months."
Cao Cao immediately replied: "There is no problem with this, I promise you that within a year, I will not deal with you with heavy troops General Yang." ”
Yang Feng nodded and said, "After three months, I will naturally release the hostages." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "That's not good!" Cao Chong is still a child, how can he leave his mother for three months? Today, now, I agree to all the conditions you mentioned, but you must return Chong'er to me now. ”
Yang Feng thought for a moment and continued: "Third, return to me Runan, which was occupied by the prime minister, and return to me ten times the finances looted by Cao's army in Runan. ”
Cao Cao glanced at Yang Feng with some impatience and said, "You can finish it all at once!" ”
"Fourth, cede the three cities of Shangcai, Xiangcheng, and Zhoukou to me under the jurisdiction of Runan, withdraw the garrison, and leave the population and grain and grass."
Cao Cao snorted and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Fifth, when the prime minister goes back to ask for a decree, I want an edict signed by the emperor himself, and a personal promise to the prime minister, promising never to pursue and kill me, and never take the initiative to attack Runan. It can also be called my death warrant, hehe. ”
"Sixth, if you agree to the previous conditions, I will release your Chong'er today, and I will keep the other hostages for at least a year."
Cao Cao heard that Yang Fengken would release Cao Chong now, where could he take care of other hostages, and said happily: "All promised!" All promised! But I have a small question......"
Yang Feng was puzzled: "What doubt?" Cao Cao blinked his long narrow eyes and asked, "If I am well prepared within a year, can I go to Luoyang City to fight Yuan Shu?" If I defeat Luoyang, can I use Luoyang in exchange for the remaining hostages of my Cao Men? ”
This sentence made Yang Feng bite his lower lip, Cao Cao deserved to be a traitor, this was a test of how sincere Yang Feng was to Yuan Shu. The temptation of Luoyang was too great, Yang Feng suddenly raised his hand and threw Cao Chong to Cao Cao in the air, taking advantage of Cao Cao's hurry to pick up Cao Chong, laughing and said: "Meng De is really generous, then it's decided!" ”
