More than 100,000 Yuan soldiers were taken prisoner and marched to the bank of the Yellow River under the custody of Cao Jun.

There are many corpses of Yuan Jun who died in battle piled up on the shore.

Cao Jun was forcing some Yuan Jun to dig pits and bury the dead in them.

With a group of generals, Cao Shuo came to Cao Cao.

"Father, Yuan Shao ran away." Cao Shuo said: "But he only took seven or eight hundred people, and the rest of the Yuan army was either killed or captured by our army. What should be done with these captives? ”

"What else can I do?" Cao Cao said: "Without these Yuan troops, what will Yuan Shao use to compete with me for the Central Plains?" Buried them all alive! ”

"All?" Knowing that Cao Cao would give such an order, Cao Shuo still pretended to be taken aback and asked.

"All!" Cao Cao clenched his fists and said, "I want to see how many people in Hebei can follow Yuan Shao across the Yellow River." ”

"If I can make these Yuan troops work for me......" Cao Shuo tried to persuade Cao Cao.

"Their home is in Hebei." Cao Cao said: "If you let them go, they will follow Yuan Shao back in a blink of an eye." We don't have a second nest to burn. ”

"I definitely won't let it go, I mean ......" Cao Shuo tried to say what he was going to do.

But Cao Cao didn't give him a chance at all, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say anything, I have made up my mind, and all Yuan Jun will be buried alive!" ”

"Childe!" Cao Shuo was about to persuade him again, but Guo Jia interrupted him: "Do as Cao Gong says." ”

Guo Jia reminded that Cao Shuo had no choice but to respond.

Leaving Cao Cao's side, Xu Shu asked him, "Childe, what should I do?" ”

"Since Guo Fengxiao won't let me speak, he must have a plan." Cao Shuo said: "First hold down the order and don't send it, let the captives dig the pit slowly, and wait until I see Fengxiao tonight." ”

"How did Childe know he was coming?" Xu Shu asked.

"He's definitely coming." Cao Shuo said: "With my understanding of Fengxiao, since he stopped me, he must have already made a plan. ”

"But after all, he is the person next to Cao Gong." Xu Shu said: "Could it be that you will help your son?" ”

"It depends." Cao Shuo said: "Last time in Pengcheng, Liu Xuande took the lead in slaughtering the people, didn't he, Xun Gongda and others try to stop it? It is a pity that the situation has developed out of control, which led to the slaughter of the people of Pengcheng. ”

Looking at the captives of the Yuan army on the bank of the Yellow River, Cao Shuo said: "There are quite a few captives, more than 100,000. If all these people were buried alive, how deep would my father and the people of Hebei have to form a grudge? Before he captured Hebei, he lost the hearts of the people first, do you think Guo Fengxiao will let his father do this? ”

Xu Shu didn't ask any more.

The head of Cao Shuo's analysis is Dao, and everything can only be seen at night, whether Guo Jia will come to him.

On the banks of the Yellow River, Yuan prisoners of war are still digging pits.

At first, the pit they dug was just to bury the corpses, but later, the corpses became fewer and fewer, but Cao Jun still let them continue digging the pit.

Some Yuan Jun muttered in his heart.

Many people vaguely feel that it is not good!

"What do you say Cao Jun told us to dig so many pits?" A Yuan Jun asked in a low voice to his companion.

The other Yuan Jun shook their heads.

"The body is almost buried, but they still let us dig a pit, don't you think there's anything weird?" Yuan Jun, who was questioning his companions, asked again.

"They're not going to ......," one of the people finally reacted, and asked with a stunned round eye.

"I think it should be." Yuan Jun, who was the first to raise doubts, said: "They want us to dig a grave for ourselves." ”

"What then?" Someone asked, "Is it hard to watch them fill us in the pit......

A few people whispered, and two Cao Jun walked over from behind.

"Muttering about what?" A Cao Jun shouted: "Hurry up and dig!" ”

was questioned by Cao Jun, and several Yuan Jun prisoners quickly lowered their heads and dug a pit intently.

The day passed quietly, and when night fell, a man came to Cao Shuo's tent.

"Childe is not there?" He asked outside the tent.

Hearing that it was Guo Jia's voice, Cao Shuo said: "Guo Gong, please come in, I have been waiting for you." ”

Lifting the curtain, Guo Jia walked in.

Cao Shuo got up and saluted: "Guo Gong is here?" ”

"Could it be that Childe waited for me for a day?" After Guo Jia returned the salute, he asked with a slight smile.

"More than 100,000 lives, how could I not wait for Guo Gong." Cao Shuo said: "If Guo Gong doesn't come again, I'm afraid I'll have to look for you." ”

"It's all captives, so what about a million?" Guo Jia asked, "Is Gongzi worried about those Yuan Jun?" ”

"Before putting down their weapons, they were Yuan Jun, but after putting down their weapons, they were just prisoners." Cao Shuo said: "If they are incorporated into our army, they will be Cao Jun in the future." If they return to the countryside, they are the people. These people didn't have the words 'Yuan Jun for life' engraved on their faces! ”

Guo Jia laughed and said to Cao Shuo: "If it weren't for Gongzi saying this, I really wouldn't be able to see through it." ”

"Guo Gong is very smart, how can he not see through it." Cao Shuo said: "Hindering me from speaking to my father, does Guo Gong have a way to save them?" ”

"What can I do?" Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "I'm just reminding Gongzi that Cao Chengcheng is angry, don't touch his bad luck." ”

"Guo Gong and I are old friends, and if you can hide it from others, can you still hide it from me?" Cao Shuo said: "If Guo Gong has a way to rescue these prisoners, please make it clear." ”

"Is Childe planning to bring them back to Huainan?" Guo Jia asked.

"There are few people in Huainan." Cao Shuo sighed and said: "In today's village, there are actually eighty or ninety women among the hundred people. In the long run, there will be no soldiers under my command, and there will be no people to cultivate in the fields. Of course, I hope to bring them all back. ”

"If Gongzi wants to take them back, not only must he hide it from Cao Gong, but he also has to let these Yuan army captives understand that their lives were given by Gongzi." Guo Jia said: "More importantly, we have to let them know that even if they return to Hebei, they will be dead." ”

"Guo Gong really has a way, please make it clear!" Cao Shuo clenched his fists and bowed, and said with a big salute to Guo Jia.

"Tonight, I will go to see Cao Gong and explain my interests to him." Guo Jia said: "Gong Cao has already given an order, of course he will not take back his fate, what I have to do is to ask him to open his eyes and close his eyes, and let Gongzi take everyone away." ”

"What am I going to do?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Of course Childe does what you do best." The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Cao Shuo: "Tell those Yuan Jun that they can't go back to Hebei, and Cao Gong also gave an order to bury them all alive." But ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia twisted the beard on his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't continue.
