Cao Jun, who was guarding the captives, saw that they did not answer Cao Shuo's questions.

Cao Jun, who took the lead, also shouted: "Childe asks, answer quickly!" ”

Yuan Jun lowered his head and did not say a word.

Only a soldier of the Yuan Army, who was about thirty years old, raised his head to look at Cao Shuo.

"I'm Li Zhi!" He straightened his chest and said to Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo shook his head and smiled: "You are not Li Zhi. ”

"I'm really Li Zhi." Yuan Jun, who replied, said: "The army is in chaos, I was going to change into the armor of a soldier and escape, but I didn't expect to be able to cross the river and was captured with the soldiers." ”

"You are Li Zhi, what proof do you have?" Cao Shuo asked.

Yuan Jun, who called himself Li Zhi, lowered his head, untied a waist card from his waist, and handed it to Cao Shuo with both hands.

Cai Ji stepped forward and took the waist card and handed it to Cao Shuo.

After taking the waist card, Cao Shuo looked at it twice, and saw that there were a few words written on it - the commander of the digging battalion, Li Zhi.

After confirming Li Zhi's identity, Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "Bring him out." ”

Cai Ji stood on the edge of the pit and beckoned to Li Zhi: "You come up." ”

Li Zhi jumped onto the pit and stood in front of Cao Shuo with his head bowed.

"I've heard about General Li's skills a long time ago." Cao Shuo said: "The two armies are separated by several miles, and the general can also dig a tunnel to go deep from the back, which shows that his ability is not ordinary." Flash."

"That's all I can do." Li Zhi said: "Childe praised it. ”

"Is it a false praise, it's not General Li who has the final say, and it's not me who has the final say." Cao Shuo said: "It is the battlefield that has the final say. Confrontation with the Yuan family, the only thing that made me feel big was General Li's tunnel. ”

"It is said that it was Childe's idea to set fire to the ground?" Li Zhi asked.

"It just had a flash of inspiration." Cao Shuo waved his hand: "It's not worth mentioning." ”

"Childe had a flash of inspiration, but I can't pry that piece of land open." Li Zhi said: "If this is not the case, I will not be blamed by Yuan Gong." ”

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, and the general cannot be blamed for not doing anything once." Cao Shuo leaned down and stared at Li Zhi and asked, "I wonder if the general is willing to go to Huainan with me?" ”

"What are you going to do in Huainan?" Li Zhi straightened his chest and said: "I am from the Yuan family, and if I want to leave, I will go back to Hebei." If you don't leave, stay here. ”

"If the general agrees, I won't dare to use you." Cao Shuo smiled: "Your refusal makes me feel that I have to keep you by my side." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked Cao Shuo, "What is the son going to do?" ”

"I have to return to Huainan tonight, and of course I want to take you with me." Cao Shuo replied.

Just as he was saying this to Li Zhi, a Cao military captain rode over on horseback.

He shouted loudly: "Duke Cao has an order to take all the prisoners of war in one place." ”

Cao Jun, who was guarding the captives, received orders and shouted loudly to bring the captives together. Flash Dance.

Li Zhi also wanted to follow the captive, but was stopped by Cai Ji and Wei Tu.

"General Li doesn't have to go." Li Zhi looked at Cao Shuo, who pouted at him.

After a while, Guo Jia arrived with a group of Cao Jun.

Seeing Cao Shuo here, Guo Jia hugged his fists and asked, "Why is Childe here?" ”

"I'll be back in Huainan, and there's nothing else to do." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "The soldiers are still preparing to pack, I'll just come and take a look." ”

Knowing what Guo Jia came for, Cao Shuo still asked: "It's not early, why did Guo Gong come?" ”

"Gong Cao gave an order, and I just came to pass the order." Guo Jia replied, and rode towards the captive.

He asked in a loud voice, "Have you dug all the pits?" ”

The officer of the Cao Army, who was guarding the prisoners, ran forward and saluted Guo Jia and said, "Return to Guo Gong, the pit has been dug!" ”

"Duke Cao has an order to bury all the prisoners!" Guo Jia shouted.

Hearing his shout, the more than 100,000 captives panicked.

Li Zhi, who was forcibly left by Cao Shuo's side, was also stunned.

When digging the pit, the captives were wondering what they were doing with so many big pits when the bodies were all buried.

It was only then that they realized that these pits were their own graves

The captives rioted.

Guo Jia roared: "Quickly push them all into the pit!" ”

Cao Jun, who was guarding the captives, stepped forward one after another and forced the captives to jump into the pit with weapons.

"Wait!" Cao Shuo's shouting made the chaotic scene suddenly calm down.

He asked Guo Jia: "More than 100,000 people have to be buried?" ”

"Gong Cao has an order, and no one will be left." Guo Jia replied with a cold face.

"They are just soldiers to eat food, and now they have surrendered to our army, do they still want to kill?" Cao Shuo pointed at the captive and yelled at Guo Jia.

"Childe, don't yell at me." Guo Jia said: "It was Cao Gong's order. Cao Gong thought that if they returned to Hebei, they would definitely be enemies of our army in the future."

"If they don't go back to Hebei, won't they be able to kill them?" Cao Shuo interrupted Guo Jia and asked loudly: "More than 100,000 lives, kill if you say kill?" What has become of our Cao family? Butcher? ”

"It's useless for Childe to tell me this, I have to carry out Cao Gong's orders!" Guo Jia said to Cao Shuo without giving an inch.

Cao Shuo ignored him and rode towards the captive.

When he arrived not far from the captive, he asked in a loud voice, "Do you want to give you a way to live?" ”

Seeing that he was about to be buried alive, there was a way to live in front of him, and of course the captives would not want to.

Many people responded: "Childe can do whatever he wants us to do!" ”

"If you are willing to go to Huainan with me, take a step forward!" Cao Shuo shouted.

Cao Shuo gave them a way to live, how could the captives think so much, and they all stepped forward if they were not driven into the pit.

Those who have fallen into the pit are trying to climb up.

"Guo Gong, you saw it!" Cao Shuo turned his horse and asked Guo Jia: "Now that they are willing to go to Huainan with me, they are already my subordinates, do you still want to bury my subordinates alive?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and then said: "Childe is really sorry"

"Someone!" Guo Jia refused to let go, and Cao Shuo shouted to Cai Ji: "Transfer everyone to me!" I can't care if I bury my captives alive, and those who want to bury me just can't! ”

The captives of the Yuan army had long heard of Cao Shuo's protection of calves.

But he didn't expect that he would dare to openly resist Cao Cao's orders in Cao Cao's military camp.

Cai Ji quickly ran towards the place where Cao Shuo's subordinates gathered.

After a while, the black-pressed Cao Jun flew over.

"Surround them all!" It was Lu Bu who brought people over, he shouted, and the soldiers of the Cao army who followed behind scattered one after another, surrounding Guo Jia and others.

When Cao Jun, who was watching nearby, saw this scene, someone immediately went to report to Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao had already fallen asleep, and Xu Chu said that he wouldn't let people see him.

Without Cao Cao's next order, Xiahoudun and the others could only watch Cao Shuo coming, but they didn't dare to come forward to ask.
