Chapter 560: Holding the knife to force Ah to hide
Hua Fei looked at Mao Jue, who was so anxious that he seemed to be about to jump to his feet, and smiled secretly in his heart, I will see how much you can talk when I catch your sore feet? Although the relationship under Cao Cao's command is complicated and complicated, his main foundation lies in the clan.
If Cao Hong and Cao Chun were really killed because of non-payment of food, there would be cracks in his military morale even if they were not chaotic, so Cao Cao would never dare to watch these two people be killed in the case of peace talks between the two armies.

"My lord," Hua Fei was thinking about it, and Fa Zheng on the side also came out and hugged his fists and said, "If killing Cao Hong and the others is indeed no other benefit to our army except for exporting evil anger, I hope my lord will think twice." ”
Mao Jue saw that even Fa Zheng, an important minister, had spoken, but Hua Fei still didn't speak with a straight face, and couldn't help but feel more anxious.
However, Jia Xu, who had recently returned, also came out to help persuade him: "Since Cao Cao can't pay so much money and food, and my lord admires Gao Shun, Xu Huang and Man Chong very much, then why not let Cao Cao deduct the three generals and only redeem the others?" ”
"Humph!" Although the two important ministers both spoke up, Hua Fei still sneered unhappily, "That Gao Shun, Xu Huang and Man Chong are all very loyal to Cao Cao and Lu Bu, even if they are left, what's the use?" ”
"My lord is wrong!" Pang Tong, who was black-faced on the side, also jumped out and said loudly, "I think that the families of Xu Huang and Man Chong are all in Cao Cao's hands, even if the two of them are willing to surrender, they need to cast a mouse taboo,
Why didn't my lord exchange food with Cao Mengde, and let him move all the nine clans of the two to my Chang'an, then why worry that the two would not surrender? ”
Speaking of this, Pang Tong paused slightly, and then continued in the cold air: "As for Gao Shunqi, although he is loyal to Lu Bu, he only needs to ask Lu Bu for a letter to sever relations with him and make him switch to my lord.
Then we can bring this man under the command of my lord, so that my lord can gain the allegiance of the three generals, and Cao Cao can redeem some of his generals, which is a great benefit to both sides, so why should my lord not do it? ”
Hua Fei saw that his face was slightly slower and he said: "Although what Shi Yuan said is reasonable, I am afraid that Cao Cao is reluctant to release them, so it is better to kill them as if he was begging Cao Cao." ”
Mao Jue could get Cao Cao to value what a shrewd person, and after hearing that Hua Fei's tone had slowed down, he hurriedly claimed that he would soon pass the news to Autonomy, and would do his best to persuade Autonomy to reach peace talks with Hua Fei.
Later, Fa Zheng, Jia Xu, Qin Mi and other officials all persuaded him, and Pang Tong waved his hand and said: "Anyway, the life and death of the prisoners are in the hands of my master, if Cao Cao refuses to agree, it will be too late to kill Cao Hong and others." ”
Hua Fei shouted loudly when he saw that he said: "He Man listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
In He Man's high response, Hua Fei ordered: "You have a fast foot, you can quickly pass on my orders and let them keep people under the knife!" ”
"Whoa!"
He Man turned around in response, and then left quickly with a strong wind.
Mao Jue saw that He Man had disappeared in a blink of an eye, so he exhaled a long breath, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, which can be regarded as temporarily saving the lives of Cao Hong and others.
But he heard Hua Fei say sharply again: "Xiaoxian, you have heard everything that my family Shiyuan said just now, and now your army has two ways to go.
Either send me people, or send me food, if it doesn't matter if it's not refreshing, then Hua doesn't mind sending Cao Xiu's head to Meng De first.
followed by the head of Cao Xiu and even the head of Cao Hong, as for Xu Huang and the others, Hua Mou didn't mind locking them up until they died, and they were locked up in prison for the rest of their lives! ”
Mao Jue didn't dare to say much, but only whispered, Hua Fei ordered Qin Mi to continue to discuss with him, and to get this matter done quickly.
Qin Mi received the order to go, and Hua Fei continued to discuss with Fa Zheng, Jia Xu and others in the meeting hall of the Right General's Mansion.
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the ninth month of autumn, when the countless migrant Qiang civilians in Guanzhong were holding heavy copper coins and happily buying goods in the eight streets and hundreds of alleys of Chang'an after receiving the half-monthly wages paid by Huafei.
I am going to take advantage of the holiday to go home to have a look, and by the way, I will bring enough food and supplies for the elderly, children and mothers-in-law at home, and then rush back to Guanzhong to work and spend the winter.
When Pang Tong and Jia Xu were ordered to lead Ma Chao, He Man and others to lead the army to rush to various places, Xu Du received an urgent report from Mao Yu in the general's mansion, Cao Cao and others are looking at me, and I am speechless to see you.
After all, Cao Cao is not comparable to Mao Jue, after listening to Mao Jue's detailed report, he naturally understands what Hua Fei and his subordinates are doing.
However, he also knew that he couldn't take Hua Fei after all, and now it was clear that it was a man who was a knife and I was a fish, Cao Cao didn't think that Hua Fei really didn't dare to send the heads of Cao Xiu and others to himself.
Although he is very aware of the abilities of Man Chong and Xu Huang, they are so outstanding that they are definitely not under Zilian and Zihe, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, is also a rare general.
Giving them to Hua Fei like this is tantamount to making Hua Fei like a tiger, but his own people will never think so.
In the eyes of the clansmen, no matter how powerful and capable an outsider is, he is just an outsider after all, if he doesn't exchange them for Zilian and others, even if he doesn't say it, he will inevitably be full of resentment towards himself.
What's more, although Hua Fei's shaft is rude, this is really reasonable, people are in his hands, it is definitely killing if you want to kill, and you can close it if you want to.
Seeing that all the ministers were speechless after hearing the news, Cao Cao knew that he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, but the final condition that Qin Mi Daihua Fei gave was:
Xu Huang and the other three people and Lu Bu's letter of severance, plus 75 million catties of grain, were exchanged for Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and Song Xian.
Although this price is already within the range of what he can afford, is it difficult for him to achieve it without recruiting troops? Isn't it possible to pay the salaries of the officials?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao leaned on the table in embarrassment, closed his eyes with his hands on his head, but suddenly heard someone say loudly: "The matter between Gao Zu and Xiang Yu was not far from back then, why should my lord feel embarrassed about these little things?" ”
Cao Cao opened his eyes when he heard this, but saw that Cheng Yu, who was tall and thin, was standing at the foot of the stairs to speak, and said in a loud voice: "Zhongde's meaning is also understood,
It's just that Zilian and they have followed a certain southern expedition to the north since they fought a certain Yu Chen Liu's army, and a certain person really can't bear to see them in a different place, but if they agree to Hua Fei's request, what will the development of our army be? ”
"Hahaha...... My lord is wrong! Cheng Yu waved his hand and smiled.
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Why did Zhongde say this?" ”
"My lord," Cheng Yu clenched his fists and explained, "Cheng Mou found out after careful consideration that although the lion opened his mouth and acted in a cozy manner with his subordinates, his ultimate goal was not in the grain but on the three of Xu Huang, Man Chong and Gao Shun. ”
Cao Cao sighed abruptly: "I also know about this matter, but it's a pity that it is a man-made knife now, but what can I do now?" ”
"If Hua Fei has what he wants, then my lord can pinch his key point and continue to discuss with him," Cheng Yu replied confidently, "According to Cheng's will, my lord can agree to Hua Fei's request as much as possible.
Because if you don't give it anyway, Xu Huang, Manzhong and Gao Shun won't be able to come back, so you might as well give him those untouchables and a letter.
But our lord can also ask Hua Fei, who wants to get the letter and people, to ask him to take a step back and stop asking for food, and release all the remaining six generals back to our army. ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this suggestion, but he said with some worry: "Zhongde's idea is good, but I'm afraid that the cunning and abnormal Hua Fei will not do what Zhongde said." ”
"Well......" Cheng Yu also felt that Hua Fei was indeed difficult to deal with, so he lowered his head and pursed his lips for a long time before he raised his head and offered another strategy to Cao Cao, but it caused Lu Bu to be furious immediately! (To be continued.) )
