When Cao Cao's family was arranged in the original Sikong Mansion, the potter met with the two ladies, Ding and Bian.

Although he and Cao Cao do not share the same sky, but the disaster will not affect his wife and children, and he and Cao Cao were brothers back then, some things cannot be too inhuman.

"If the two ladies have any requirements, what they want to eat, or what daily needs they have, just send someone to tell people outside the house that if they can do it, Tao will do it." The potter made a promise to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, who were in charge.

Mrs. Bian once met with the pottery merchant, and she said to the pottery merchant: "The concubine has thanked the prime minister." ”

The potter waved his hand and said, "There are some things, I can't say who is right and who is wrong, there is no personal grudge between me and Brother Meng De, but we are in our respective positions, and we can't help ourselves." ”

Mrs. Ding is very reasonable: "The prime minister and Sikong are incompatible, and it is already very magnanimous to treat women and children like me like this under such circumstances...... At least, compared to our own rebels, the prime minister, an outsider, is much better. ”

Mrs. Bian's face suddenly turned red, and tears began to glisten in her eyes again.

Looking at their appearance, the potter pondered for a while, but finally did not tell them the news of Cao Zhi's death.

After all, in this case, the potter felt that it was too cruel to say this.

He bid farewell to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, and instructed Pei Qian to send people to guard Sikong Mansion day and night, so that no outsiders could enter, and then returned to his temporary residence.

When he arrived at the study, Chen Deng was waiting for him inside.

"Prime Minister, there's a letter from the school office, Cao Cao's army has arrived at the border of Yanzhou's western front."

The potter grinned lightly and said, "Lead, Tian Yu and Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses were all repelled by Cao Cao?" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said: "Yes, compared to Cao Cao himself, these people are too different, they are not opponents at all, even if Li Ru is there, it is useless, Zhang Lu has returned to Hanzhong, and Hetian Yu has also withdrawn his troops back to the territory of Bingzhou." ”

The potter nodded and said, "Where is Cao Cao's soldiers pointing?" ”

Chen Deng walked to Pitu in the room and said: "Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are moving east from Luoyang, with the intention of Chen Liu, it seems that he wants to rescue Chen Liu's Cao Ren first, and then use Chen Liu as a starting point to recapture the lost city of Yuzhou." ”

"Then we'll stop him in Chenliu." The potter gently touched Chenliu's city with his hand: "The three armies will march towards Chenliu, and they will fight the besieging generals there and fight Cao Cao...... At the beginning in Qufu, I was not even afraid of the combined forces of Cao Cao and San Liu, how could I still be afraid of his single army? ”

Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, between Cao Cao and Liu Biao, there was some suspicion of calculation, but now that he has lost his beloved son, I am afraid that he will do his best to fight a decisive battle with the prime minister, and the prime minister must be cautious about it." ”

The potter frowned and said, "What you said is reasonable, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, and the current Cao army may not be comparable to the original." ”

Chen Deng continued: "In addition, Xuchang City also needs to be cautious, although Xun Yu has been attached to the prime minister, is this person credible...... After all, he had a good relationship with Cao Cao in the past. ”

"You stay!" The potter said to Chen Deng: "You stay in Xuchang, I will allocate it to you again, Xun Yu will use this person, but after all, he has been a master and servant with Cao Cao for so many years, and in fact, there is no big hatred between them...... Only if you are at the helm of Xuchang City, I can rest assured. ”

Chen Deng arched his hand and said, "Deng will definitely live up to his mission, then the prime minister will go to Chen Liu to fight Cao Cao, but be careful." ”

The potter nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, although you have to stay in Xuchang City and can't help me, the one hiding in Chen Liucheng is still waiting for him and is ready to go." ”

……

The western border of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Pi knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously, and crying.

And Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, was glazed over, his mouth was open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly saw Cao Cao's expression change, and a painful scream came out of his throat.

The sound was like a wolf's howl, and people couldn't help but tremble when they heard it.

saw Cao Cao's eyes, tears gushed out in an instant, and big tears dripped down his cheeks and onto his clothes.

"Zhi'er! Oh my plant! You're not even eleven yet! How can a god-damn pottery thief be so ruthless! ”

Cao Pi cried whining: "Father, you kill me, it's useless for me, I didn't protect my fourth brother, I didn't protect my mother!" ”

"Bastard, what are you talking about!" Cao Cao cried bitterly, and at the same time stomped his feet angrily and said, "What's the use of killing you?" My father has already lost his son, if he kills you again, won't he lose his two sons? Now that all my father's wives and children are in the hands of the potters, if I am killing you, will our Cao family not be endless? ”

Cao Pi cried heartbreakingly: "But children are useless, children don't deserve to live in this world!" ”

Cao Cao wiped away his tears and said, "If you are really guilty in your heart, just think about how to save your mother, how to save your younger brothers, and how to avenge your fourth brother with your father!" ”

Cao Pi moved forward on his knees, came to Cao Cao's side, hugged his thigh, and cried, "Father! ”

Seeing the sincerity of the love between the father and son, the generals and ministers of the Cao family present were moved to tears.

Only Yu Ban squinted at the father and son, unconsciously reached out and touched the two broken arrows in his arms, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed secretly, and decided not to say anything.

Some things are too important, once they are involved, the consequences are unimaginable, and since people are dead, they can't make that kind of commotion.

When he was young, after Cao Cao finished crying, he saw him with a hideous appearance, and said: "Order Zhong Xuan, let him prepare white clothes and white armor for the old man in Luoyang City, and the soldiers of the three armies will raise the banner of revenge, and the old man will cut the potters and raze Jinling City!" ”

When the generals heard this, they stood up and shouted, "No! ”

……

After some rectification, Cao Cao's main army began to move westward, heading straight for the Chenliu territory.

And like Cao Cao, Cao Ren, who was guarding the city, was also grieved after learning about Cao Hong's death.

Cao Ren locked himself in his room and did not appear in front of everyone for three consecutive days.

When he appeared on the fourth day, Cao Ren's appearance was withered, his face was sallow, his dark circles were extremely heavy, and his beard was unkempt.

Chen Liucheng's generals were shocked when they saw this situation.

Everyone had the heart to ask for some inside information, but Cao Ren refused to answer.

He just arranged the court meeting as usual, inquired about the recent defense of the city, and instructed the generals to perform their duties and carefully protect the city.

The rest, Cao Ren didn't say anything.

After Bao Zhong and Bao Tao returned to their soldiers' and horses' station, they told Guo Jia, who was dressed in disguise in the army, about the incident.

After Guo Jia heard this, he smiled and said: "Cao Ren is a person who values love and righteousness, it seems that he and Cao Hong have a very deep relationship!" Yes, now is a good opportunity for you to build a friendship with him. ”
