Because first, they are still in Cao Cao's "hands" at the moment.

Before arriving in Luoyang, they still had to rely on Cao Cao's escort, and if they turned against each other now, it would be of no benefit to them.

Second, considering Cao Cao's current strength, Liu and Fu did not dare to offend easily.

In case the other party is forced to rush out and rebel, it will not be a good thing for Liu Xie, who has an unstable foothold.

In addition, although the imprisonment was dangerous, it did not cause substantial harm in the end.

Therefore, Fu Wan and Liu Xie still decided to open the net and spare Cao Cao.

"Alas!"

After a long sigh, he saw Fu Wan slowly get up from the ground and said to Cao Cao:

"The general not only deceived the king before, but also put the saint in danger, so he should be killed! But the Holy Grace is merciful, and for the sake of the general's meritorious service in protecting the country over the years, he still decides to spare you once. But if you do it again next time, you will be punished severely. ”

Cao Cao had already guessed that the other party would not dare to surrender, but he still had to pretend on his face, didn't he?

After hearing this, he saw Cao Cao kneeling on one knee on the spot, and said to Liu Xiehe with a grateful expression:

"Huh? This, this...... Thank you so much for the saint and Fu-sama! Cao will definitely serve the Han family with all his strength in the future, in order to repay the grace of the saints! ”

"Hehe, General Cao is out again!"

Seeing that he had finished singing blackface, Liu Xie, who was in charge of the red face, immediately stood up from his seat and walked to Cao Cao's side:

"Didn't the widow say that you don't have to make this big gift when no one is around, Aiqing hurry up and speak!"

After helping the other party up, Cao Cao was again grateful "from the heart".

Not only are the words like a surging river, but the expressions are also extraordinarily realistic.

Hearing this, Liu Xie was smiling, and after a while, he completely forgot Cao Cao's mistakes......

"By the way, General Cao, there is something I forgot to tell you." After the three of them re-seated, they listened to Liu Xie's sudden change of voice.

"Oh? Is there anything to be done by subordinates? Though the Holy One commands it, it is. ”

"The general misunderstood, the widow didn't want to send you to do something." Liu Xie shook his head and smiled: "I just want to tell the general that the matter entrusted to you before doesn't have to be done again......"

"Before...... What to entrust me? ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood:

"Oh! Are you talking about crusading against Huaxing and retaking the Iron Vein? ”

"That's right, that's exactly what happened!" Liu Xie confirmed.

"W-Why is that? Could it be that the two of them no longer trust the following?

Regarding the reason for this matter, Huaxing had already told Cao Cao, and Cao Cao knew it.

But in order to make this "loyalty" drama more realistic, I saw Cao Cao pretend to say:

"Alas! Don't worry, I was careless last time, and I fell in love with each other's ways, and I will definitely not be next time! Don't say that he is a Huaxing, even if it is ten or eight, I, Cao Mengde, will definitely be able to annihilate it and recapture the iron vein! ”

"No, no! The general misunderstood again! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Liu Xie waving his hand and explaining:

"This matter has nothing to do with General Cao, it is that the widow has given the ore vein to General Hua and signed a non-aggression pact with him, so there is no need to go again."

"Huh? So that's the case? Alas...... Well, then Cao won't have much to do. ”

After shaking his head with regret, Cao Cao's performance was officially closed......

Now that the business has been discussed, Cao Cao has no intention of staying longer.

After saluting the two of them, they got up and walked out of the tent.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Fu Wan behind him: "By the way, General Cao, the old man has something to tell you." ”

"Oh? What else is going on with Lord Fu? Cao Cao stopped and asked.

"I see that this place is not far from Luoyang, and it will be there in an hour or two tomorrow, so ...... There should be no need for the general to continue the escort. If the general has other military affairs to deal with, he can leave early tomorrow morning, and leave the rest of the journey to the old man. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Cao Cao was surprised, but even Liu Xie, who was eating a leg of mutton on the side, was also surprised. Immediately put down the sheep bone, looked at Fu Wan and asked:

"Lord Fu, what are you—What are you talking about? Don't need General Cao to escort you? ”

"That's right!" Fu Wan nodded and replied:

"The saint should also know that General Cao's soldiers and horses are fighting the Yellow Turban Thieves in Dongjun at the moment, and the battle is urgent. Since we have returned to the suburbs of Luoyang, there is no need to leave the general here. It's better to let him return home as soon as possible and lead the army to eradicate the thieves! ”

"Well, that's true, but, but...... As soon as General Cao leaves, we will have less than 100 people left. Most of them were officials and their families, and there were only about 30 guards. What if something happens? ”

In the face of Liu Xie's worries, Fu Wan shook his head disapprenorovingly and smiled:

"Hehe, this place is only thirty miles away from Luoyang, there are no thieves or chaotic parties nearby, and the public security is excellent. When it comes to safety, the Holy One has nothing to worry about. In addition......"

Halfway through the words, I saw that Fu Wan suddenly came to Liu Xie's ear and whispered:

"I've heard that the Western nobles are very fond of Yiyang snacks, and this place is only ten miles away from Yiyang. Early tomorrow morning, we can make a special trip to Yiyang to take a turn and surprise the western nobles. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why don't you know? ”

"Hehe, the old man listened to what the maid beside the Western nobleman said, and there will be no fake. If you want to go to Yiyang, the old man thinks that there is no need to take General Cao to hang out with us, it is better to let them leave first. I don't know what the Holy One wills? ”

On weekdays in the palace, the person who Fu Wan looks down on the most is Concubine Xi.

But he actually offered to surprise Concubine Xi today, which surprised Liu Xie.

However, Liu Xie is still a child after all.

Although he was aware of this, he didn't dig into it, thinking that the other party had arranged it so in order to please him.

In addition, he really liked the idea and wanted to surprise Concubine Xi.

So after a short period of thought, Liu Xie agreed to the matter and allowed Cao Cao to leave with his troops early tomorrow morning.

Cao Cao was already concerned about the battlefield, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.

Now, hearing that the other party actually took the initiative to let him leave, he really couldn't ask for it.

At dawn the next day, Cao Cao said goodbye to Liu Xie and others one by one, and returned to Xuchang with his 1,000 soldiers.

……

After Cao Cao left, Fu Wan took the lead and led the convoy all the way to Yiyang.

Seeing that the direction of the team had changed, and that the soldiers who were escorting had left suddenly, the people in the team were puzzled, and soon someone came to ask the reason.

In order to surprise Concubine Xi, Liu Xiehe and Fu Wan did not tell the truth.

It's just a different path, so you don't have to worry.

Hearing what the saint and Lord Fu said, everyone didn't want to ask too much, so they could only follow behind Fu Wan and walk all the way to Yiyang.
