A few days later, Xuchang, who had not been quiet for long, was once again in turmoil because of one thing, that is, Cao Cao ordered that the divine doctor Hua Tuo and Guangling Taishou Cai Yong be put on death row together, and the autumn queen asked to behead, and now it is the beginning of autumn, that is, around two months, these two people will be executed.

For this news, Cao Cao not only suppressed in Xuchang, but also added fuel to the fire, making the news known to the world, for a while, many letters of request followed, most of them were men, women and children who had been diagnosed and treated by Hua Tuo, and there were also civil servants and strategists, who beheaded Cai Yong, which was really unwise, and it was very likely to be infamous for being ungrateful.

However, Cao Cao turned a deaf ear and ignored it, and still did not have any intention of changing.

Seeing this, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, did not stop it, and still had some expectations in his heart, Cao Cao's reputation was bad, but it was a good thing for Liu Xie, and when the time came, it was not impossible for the emperor to attack it in groups, so planned, Liu Xie naturally sat firmly in the Diaoyutai and let Cao Cao act.

But those who have received the favor of Hua Tuo don't think so, Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun waited for a few days, but they didn't wait for Cao Cao to change their minds, they couldn't sit still anymore, and went to see Cao Cao together.

At first, I heard that Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun were coming, Cao Cao, who knew the intentions of the two, casually found a reason to refuse, but Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun insisted on visiting, and actually waited outside the hall for a day, and the helpless Cao Cao was finally afraid that the injuries of these two would recur if they waited, so he had to summon them.

"Zhao Zilong, see Prime Minister."

"Yuan Rang, see the lord."

Zhao Yun and the two stepped forward together and saluted.

"You're here to plead?" Cao Cao asked softly, as if he had seen through everything.

"The prime minister's eyes are like torches, and we won't beat around the bush."

After taking over the conversation, Zhao Yun continued without humility or arrogance: "I don't know what Doctor Hua and Cai Taishou have done, so that they are in prison, and they will be beheaded soon? ”

"Naturally, it is a capital offense." Cao Cao prevaricated.

"Why is it a capital offense?"

Obviously, Zhao Yun couldn't accept this answer, and asked without hesitation.

With his eyes condensed, Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Although I appreciate you Zhao Zilong, you are not my account after all, and it seems that it is not your turn to ask too much." ’

"This is Zilong's, if there is a place to contradict the prime minister, please bear with me."

Zhao Yun clenched his fists and apologized without changing his face, and then continued: "But Doctor Hua is my life-saving benefactor after all, and please be considerate of Zilong's heart to repay his kindness, and explain a little, so that I can die." ”

"You're not afraid."

Knowing that he couldn't say anything about Zhao Yun, Cao Cao didn't bother to bother with that, turned his head to Xiahoudun and asked, "You are also here for Doctor Hua?" ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun pondered for a while, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said quite excitedly: "Not only for the Chinese divine doctor to come, but also for Cai Taishou, the divine doctor has superb medical skills, the holy hand is benevolent, if there is a place to offend the lord, you can also see his merits, spare him once, as for Cai Taishou, that is the lord's mentor, even if Cai Taishou is imprisoned for a lifetime, he cannot be executed at will, this will have a bad impact on the lord's reputation, it is easy to lose the hearts of the people, and it must not be done easily." ”

"I didn't expect Yuan to let you see it clearly, it's really a bit unexpected to me."

Although Cao Cao's tone was very surprised, his face was a little difficult to look at, and then he shouted in a deep voice: "It's a pity that I, Cao Mengde, will not shake the foundation because of a little fame, Hua Tuo and Cai Yong, they must die." ”

"Since the prime minister has made a decision, it can be regarded as Zilong bothering and leaving."

After speaking, Zhao Yun turned around and left directly, his eyes were full of anger, he didn't want to continue arguing with Cao Cao, Cao Cao, who had made up his mind, was not something that he, an outsider, could persuade at all, maybe Xiahoudun still had some hope, so Zhao Yun chose to leave and give Xiahoudun and Cao Cao a space to be alone.

When Zhao Yun's footsteps were no longer audible, Xiahoudun clenched his fists again and asked, "Can the lord tell me the reason for this, which can be regarded as a reason to convince me." ”

"Ugh."

Cao Cao sighed slightly, facing Xiahoudun who had just lost his left eye, he couldn't be as tough as Zhao Yun, and after thinking for a while, Cao Cao, who was afraid that Xiahoudun would think too much, still sighed and explained: "This move is to force Cai Yan and Hua Tuo's daughter in Xuzhou to come, as long as they come, Hua Tuo and Cai Yong can naturally avoid death." ”

"If that's the case, then I misunderstood the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive my sins." Xiahoudun said with a red face.

"It's okay, but don't tell Zhao Zilong at this time, Zilong is an upright person and easy to hurt me." Cao Cao reminded.

"No."

"Get up."

Raising his hand to signal Xiahoudun to get up, Cao Cao continued: "When you go back, persuade Zilong more, don't let him underestimate me because of this." ”

Xiahoudun, who had just gotten up, was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "I try my best, it's really not easy to deceive General Zhao Zilong. ”

"Just do your best, it can be regarded as honing your eloquence, and it is good to take advantage of these days of recuperation to have more knowledge." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"No."

Xiahoudun scratched his head and laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, if it's okay, you step down first, I still have official business to deal with."

"No."

Hearing that Cao Cao was going to deal with official business, Xiahoudun dared to stay for a long time, so he answered, turned around and left directly, and walked quickly in the direction where Zhao Yun left.

Not long after Xiahoudun left, Xun Yufang walked out of the back hall and asked with a worried face: "The lord's plan to delay is very good, but if the truth is exposed in the future, I am afraid that Yuan Rang will be dissatisfied, which is not a good thing." ”

"Of course I know."

Cao Cao got up from his seat, walked to Xun Yu's side, shook his head and said: "But there is no other way now, if the truth is leaked, everything will be wasted. ”

"The lord has his own decision, then I can rest assured." Xun Yu said with a smile.

"Reassured? I still can't rest assured, my heart is very depressed, and my head hurts a little, I still go out for a walk, take a walk, and leave the matter here to you. Cao Cao covered his forehead and frowned.

"No."

Seeing that Xun Yu agreed, Cao Cao didn't stay and left on his own.

Looking at Cao Cao's back, Xun Yu's eyes were a little worried, and he muttered to himself: "The lord is bent on revenge against Mo Shuyan, which is not a good thing, it seems that I have to take care of it more, so as not to make trouble in the future." ”
