Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 57 Zhang Liao surrendered, Chen Gong went to die

Lu Bu was escorted out like this, while another person yelled loudly.

"Lu Bu, if you die, you will die, yelling, you are not ashamed!"

With the roar of anger, Zhang Liao, one of the eight strong generals, was escorted up.

When Cao Peng led the Cao army to attack the city, Zhang Liao led his men to fight back. Even though he knew the situation was over, he continued to resist until he was shot in the leg by an arrow and was captured.

"Who is this person? He has a bit of courage." Cao Cao asked, he admired such a courageous person.

"This person is the first of the eight generals under Lu Bu's command, Zhang Liao, styled Wenyuan." Guo Jia introduced.

Looking at the big man in front of him, Cao Cao asked, "General Ba Jian and the rest surrendered to me, why didn't you surrender?"

Zhang Liao laughed wildly: "I, Zhang Liao, am a masculine man, can An Neng recognize a thief as his father?"

Cao Cao sneered, this person really doesn't know what to do, can't he see that people like Lu Bu were wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of him just now?
"Kill it!"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, everyone looked different.

The eight generals headed by Zang Ba couldn't bear to see Zhang Liao killed. Although they intended to plead with Cao Cao, they didn't know where to start.

Only Zhang Liao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly at this moment, his courage to regard death as home is admirable.

"Wait a minute..."

Everyone was surprised, who dared to persuade Cao Cao at this time?
According to the reputation, it turned out to be Cao Peng, Cao Cao's most valued nephew.

If it was someone else who pleaded for mercy, Cao Cao would definitely reprimand him, but since it was Cao Peng, he was interested to hear what this elder nephew would say.

So Cao Cao asked, "Anmin, why do you want to intercede for this man?"

Cao Peng cupped his hands and said seriously: "Uncle, I have long heard that this man is under Lu Bu's camp. You can spare his life!"

When Cao Cao heard what Cao Peng said, he agreed, "If that's the case, then follow what An Min said!"

Zang Ba and others didn't expect Cao Peng to intercede for Zhang Liao, and they immediately had some good feelings for him.

Cao Peng was also secretly observing Zang Ba and his group, and he wanted to win over them.

Cao Peng did all the acting, since Cao Cao had forgiven Zhang Liao, he immediately stepped forward and untied Zhang Liao himself.

Such a virtuous corporal is already attracting people's attention, but he continued to say: "General Zhang, I know you are loyal, and saving you is just a hero's sympathy, let's go!"

what!
Such a reversal stunned everyone. They didn't expect Cao Peng to be so righteous despite his unastonishing appearance.

Zhang Liao was stunned for a while, at first he thought it was just a show, but he let him go after he loosened his rope.

This actually made him embarrassed, if he just walked away like this, wouldn't it appear that he was heartless and ungrateful.

So, he walked up to Cao Cao, arched his hands together, "I am willing to surrender to Duke Ming!"

"Hahaha, this is very good. I have Wenyuan, and I have another general." Cao Cao laughed and helped Zhang Liao up.

At the same time, Cao Cao gave Cao Peng another high-level look. He just wanted to get caught, and he used it just right.

After dealing with Zhang Liao's matter, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, I really can't bear to kill you!"

He said this from the heart, because besides admiring Chen Gong's resourcefulness and ability, he also had a different kind of affection for him.

At that time, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaped to Zhongmu County. He was captured by Chen Gong who was the county magistrate.

The two fled to the home of Lu Boshe, an old friend of Cao Cao's father Cao Song, and received warm hospitality. However, Cao Cao was so suspicious that he mistakenly thought that Lu Boshe's family wanted to capture them and report them to officials for rewards, so he killed their family members.

After learning of the misunderstanding, the two left Lu's house overnight, but met Lu Boshe who came back from drinking. Cao Cao killed them both in order to avoid future troubles.

Chen Gong despised what he had done, consciously mistrusting Cao Cao, but couldn't bear to kill him, so he resolutely left Cao Cao.

After that, Cao Cao became more and more powerful after raising troops, and Chen Gong also assisted Lu Bu, which became Cao Cao's confidant.

Now that Lu Bu is defeated, Cao Cao has mixed feelings when he looks at this man who once had the same ideals as himself.

"No need to say more, kill me!" Chen Gong said lightly.

Cao Cao wanted to keep him, so he said: "Gongtai, if you die, have you thought about what will happen to your mother and son?"

Chen Gong said with a faint smile: "You Cao Mengde ruled the world with filial piety. I believe that after I die, my mother and children will be treated kindly by you."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, his expression seemed to be no longer attached to this world, and he resolutely went to die!
