Guo Tu responded proudly, and Cao Shuo was not surprised.

He glanced back at Deng Zhan, only to see Deng Zhan's face full of astonishment.

Zhu Ao, who rode side by side with Deng Zhan, was also surprised.

It's not that the two don't know Guo Tu, and it's not that they don't know what kind of person he is.

When they saw him in the past, they thought that Guo Tu was a despicable villain who could do anything for profit.

It is precisely because of this opinion that they dare to bet with Cao Shuo.

Unexpectedly, Guo Tu, who was standing in front of them at this time, brought them a different feeling.

Having his arms cut by two dragoon guards, Guo Tu looked proud, full of righteousness.

Looking at Guo Tu in front of them, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao even had some doubts, did Zhao Yun catch the wrong person?

"Guo Gong brought 5,000 people, but there were only more than 300 people who intercepted us." Cao Shuo said: "You know I don't have time to wait here, in case your thousands of infantry troops come, I really can't go." ”

"Cao Zirong, if you want to kill, you can kill, why bother acting here." Guo Tu raised his face and said: "I was born as a person from Hebei, and I died as a ghost from Hebei." Before I die, I have only one request, and if you agree, it will fulfill my righteousness and achieve your fame. ”

"Guo Gong, please speak." Cao Shuo gestured.

Guo Tu refused to surrender, and he really didn't have time to spend it here.

If you bring Guo Tu, you don't know what trouble will happen later, and Cao Shuo can only choose to kill him.

"I haven't been back to Yecheng for a long time, although it has been broken by the Cao family, but I still want to go to Yecheng after I die, maybe I can meet Yuan Gong there." Guo Tu slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile: "I just want to face the direction of Yecheng, whether it is kneeling or standing to die, let Zirong Gongzi deal with it." ”

"Guo Gong is righteous, I will let you die standing up." Cao Shuo said: "Leaving you a whole corpse is the only thing I can do for you." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Guo Tu thanked Cao Shuo.

"Take the white silk." Cao Shuo commanded to the side.

Deng Zhan answered and ordered the guards to fetch the white silk.

Taking Bai Aya, he jumped off his horse and walked in front of Guo Tu.

Guo Tu's integrity made Deng Zhan have a little more respect for him.

He said to Guo Tu: "Guo Gong, please turn around." ”

Without saying anything more, Guo Tu turned around and turned in the direction of Yecheng.

Deng Zhan wrapped Bai Aya around his neck from behind.

Cao Shuo asked again: "Guo Gong really figured it out?" If General Deng pulls Bai Aya hard, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Guo Tu, who was standing facing Yecheng, suddenly knelt down, crying bitterly and shouting: "Yuan Gong, I'm here to see you!" ”

Holding the ends of Bai Aya with both hands, Deng Zhan's eyes were also a little red.

He looked back at Cao Shuo.

At this time, Deng Zhan's mood was very complicated.

Before, he didn't care about Guo Tu's life and death, but this time, he hoped that Cao Shuo would order Guo Tu to be spared.

It is inevitable that such a loyal person will not make people feel pity.

But Deng Zhan didn't wait for Cao Shuo's pardon, only to see Cao Shuo nodding to him.

After receiving the order, although he couldn't bear it, Deng Zhan still pulled the two ends of Bai Aya.

was strangled by Bai Aya, Guo Tu only let out a soft "hmm", and pulled Bai Aya, who was strangling his throat, with both arms.

In a moment, his arms drooped down, cutting off his breath.

Letting go of Bai Aya, Deng Zhan looked at Cao Shuo.

"His men should be there soon." Cao Shuo said: "We don't have time to bury it, so we can only hand it over to his men." Hang his carcass on a tree, and let it not be eaten by wild beasts. ”

Deng Zhan responded and ordered several soldiers to hang Guo Tu's body.

The soldiers were going to hang Guo Tu by the neck with white silk, but Cao Shuo shouted: "Don't strangle his neck again, hang him flat on the tree with two white silks, as if sleeping on a tree." ”

Several soldiers responded, and according to Cao Shuo's instructions, Guo Tu was hung to a tree.

"Let's go!" Watching the soldiers hang Guo Tu's body, Cao Shuo gave the order to leave.

"Childe, although this battle was fought quickly, we didn't kill many enemy soldiers." Following Cao Shuo's side, Chen Zhi said, "In total, I only killed thirty or twenty enemy soldiers. ”

"How many people have we lost?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Not even a single one of them hurts their hands and feet." Chen Zhi replied: "Many Yuan troops turned around and fled, I really don't understand, how dare Yuan Tan with such an army be the enemy of the Cao family." ”

"We can see clearly, but Yuan Tan may not see clearly." Cao Shuo said to Chen Zhi: "Send someone to Qingzhou, and send another person to Xuzhou." Let Xu Yuanzhi and Sima Zhongda raise troops and immediately occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou, and the war against Yuan Tan should also begin. ”

Chen Zhi turned around and instructed the two dragon pattern horsemen: "You two go to Qingzhou and Xuzhou respectively to convey the orders of the son to General Xu and General Sima." ”

The two dragon patterns who had been ordered rode off their horses and went in the direction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"After waiting for so long, Qingzhou is finally about to be a son." Looking at the backs of the two dragon stripes riding away, Chen Zhi burst out.

"I knew that Qingzhou would be mine sooner or later." Cao Shuo said: "What I want most now is to be able to hold the whole territory of Yangzhou in my hands. ”

"Yangzhou is in the hands of the Jiangdong Sun family, and the Cao family has not yet pacified the north, so I am afraid that it will ......," Chen Zhi said with some hesitation.

"Uncle Zhi!" Cao Shuo interrupted him and asked him, "How long have you been with me?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." Chen Zhi said: "I have been following Gongzi for two or three years! ”

"When have we stopped the expedition in the past two or three years?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"I've been fighting with the Yuan family." Chen Zhi said: "Although Gongzi has also led troops to Jingzhou, Jingzhou is vulnerable......"

"After the Yuan family fights, there are still many places where we have to fight." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Shang fled to Youzhou, and Yuan Xi must fight against the Cao family with him." When we break through Youzhou, new enemies will jump out. The troubled times have risen, and the people of Li are hanging upside down. What those of us who have weapons and military power in our hands must do is to restore peace to the people. I will kill a lot of people before the world is peaceful, but the purpose of killing is not just to kill, but to make the world free of killing! ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said nothing, and Zhao Yun on the side said: "Childe's sentence of killing is to have no more killing, it sounds like a fallacy at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed that truth." ”

"Actually, I really wanted to release Guo Tu just now, but I knew that because my thought was likely to harm more soldiers." Cao Shuo said: "If my heart is not ruthless and the country is unstable, if I want to save the world, I must first learn how to kill people in the world!" ”
