There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Guan Yu led his troops to rescue Zhang Fei and others, and the Tao merchant hurriedly ordered Huang Zhong and his soldiers to pretend to chase them for a while, and returned to the potter only after Guan, Zhang and other generals disappeared from sight.

At this moment, the battle in Nanzheng City was gradually coming to an end.

The Jinling Army has begun to regain the initiative. The Jinling Army, led by Xu Rong, Qu Yi, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang He, etc., finally regained the initiative after a passive defense. , The Jinling army marched forward bravely, defeated the combined army of Cao and Liu, and beat the enemy's troops back to Jiange Road.

But the Jinling army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. After all, in the current situation, for the Jinling soldiers who were attacked at night, their losses were relatively large. No less.

Especially for the pottery merchant who has already installed eyeliner in Jiange, he doesn't want to do things that waste his strength.

In this way, the chaotic night of fighting began to end when both sides stopped fighting.

The potter returned to Nanzheng and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to clean up the battlefield.

And he himself summoned the generals headed by Xu Rong to understand the battle and situation last night.

After listening to the overall report of the generals, the potter's heart fell.

In general, one's own side has losses, but the losses are definitely not that big.

"Hmph!" Ji Ling snorted heavily, and said, "These cunning thieves hide in the ravine and cannot come out. Once they come out, they use some dirty tricks. It is really hateful!"

Xu Huang sighed: "However, the opponent's strategy is also very good. When all the soldiers of our three armies were preparing to attack the Jiange, no one would have thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would launch an active attack. These two people are really powerful."

The Tao merchant said indifferently: "Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei are powerful, they may not have such brains. They must still have expert guidance."

Guo Jia said from the side: "If there is no accident, it may be Jia Xu... If our army is not strong, several times stronger than Cao Liu, this move is enough to kill our army!"

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and said: "Poison is poison, it's really amazing, but this time I also set up a plan, and they have fulfilled me by doing this, otherwise I really couldn't send Cao Pi in logically."

Guo Jia seemed to be a little worried, and he said: "The problem is, even if Cao Pi is sent in, it may not be able to achieve our ideas. I am not worried about other things. With Jia Xu's eyesight, he may not be able to see the truth behind it." doorway."

Guo Jia's words are very reasonable, but the potter also knows that there is no way to explain it, and the rest is up to fate.

……

But at this moment, in Jiange Pass, everyone is conducting a trial of fate on Cao Pi.

"Nizi, kneel down!"

Cao Cao yelled at Cao Pi coldly.

Cao Pi lowered his head, without saying a word, and slowly fell to his knees on the ground.

Cao Cao's hand was clenched into a full fist, his bones and joints turned white, and the entire fist was almost crushed by him.

After a while, Cao Cao stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist, and then walked in front of Cao Pi, raising his hand to strike.

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth, stepped forward suddenly, and stood in front of Cao Pi.

"Father, calm down, two... Although Cao Pi is guilty, but this time in the enemy camp, he sacrificed his life to save the child. No matter what, he has the intention of repenting. Please forgive him for the sake of the child. One life."

Cao Pi's face changed, and he said: "Third brother, don't plead for me. I have done something wrong, and I should be punished for my crime. Let my father kill me. It doesn't matter if I die, at least I can go down to Jiuquan to ask Si My brother apologized."

Cao Cao nodded quietly, and said, "You are still a man, and you can say something that a man should say. Okay, then I will help you!"

Just when Cao Cao was about to push Cao Zhang away and kill Cao Pi, Zhang Fei stood up.

"Cao Sikong, I am an outsider. I was captured in the Cao camp this time. I, Lao Zhang, can be regarded as seeing the general situation of your son's performance in the enemy camp. No matter what, your son was guilty at first, but this time no matter what For what purpose he was able to secretly release the third son, it shows that he has already repented, and the poison of a tiger does not eat his sons, so please don't do this, Mr. Cao, and give Mr. Cao a chance."

Zhang Fei's words of pleading are naturally much stronger than Cao Zhang and others, so Cao Cao began to seem a little hesitant.

In fact, to be honest, although Cao Pi has done something rebellious, he is Cao Cao's son after all. Cao Cao is also a kind and righteous person to a certain extent, so from a personal point of view, he does not want to kill him. Cao Pi's.

But as the commander-in-chief of the first army, Cao Cao sometimes had to do this in order to appease the three armies and block people's conversations. Sometimes there were certain things that he had to do for the world to see.

But if there is a step down, Cao Cao is naturally willing to go down this step.

After all, that was his son.

Cao Cao stared quietly at this Nizi, his heart was filled with waves.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had spoken, Liu Bei also stepped forward to intercede for Cao Pi.

"Brother Meng De, people are not sages and sages. Although the second son made a big mistake, from the words of the third son and my third brother, it can be seen that he has repented. After all, he is his own son. Military law should not be confused, please think again, Brother Meng De."

Liu Bei's words finally gave Cao Cao enough face, and he slowly put down the sword in his hand.

At this time, Cao Ang also stood up and said: "Father, since the second brother has repented, let him take the blame and make meritorious service."

Cao Cao looked back and forth at the crowd, seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, he sighed and said, "Since Mr. Xuande is begging for mercy, for Xuande's sake, Cao will forgive this traitor once."

When Cao Pi heard this, a stone in his heart fell to the ground immediately. To speak a word of conscience, his heart had already jumped into his throat just now, for fear that he would accidentally jump out of his mouth.

He bowed his head towards Cao Cao and said tremblingly, "Thank you, father."

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Ang, and said, "I will hand over this rebellious son to you. Before the end of the war, you will be in charge of taking care of him. Don't make any mistakes, understand?"

Cao Ang cupped his hands and said, "No."

……

Cao Pi took his life in front of Cao Cao, then lowered his head, followed Cao Ang carefully and walked out.

When he came outside the handsome tent, Cao Ang reached out and patted Cao Pi on the shoulder, and sighed: "Second brother, how could you do that kind of thing? At least this time you saved the third brother from the dirt road. Otherwise, if father really kills you today, how can I protect you as a brother?"

Cao Pi bowed to Cao Ang in shame: "Thank you for protecting me, brother, I am ashamed of my brother."

At this moment, an old man came up behind Cao Pi, he looked at Cao Pi quietly, the corners of his mouth twitched faintly, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally swallowed it down.

This old man is Jia Xu.

Chapter 997 The idea of ​​poison

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi quietly, and there was a strange look in his eyes, which were smooth and flowing. It was obvious that the old poison had his own views on the matter of Cao Pi's surrender.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi quietly for a while, then suddenly cupped her hands and said, "Today, for Second Young Master, it is really the most important day of great fortune in my life."

These words were so vague that Cao Pi and Cao Ang were a little dizzy.

What is a day of great fortune?

Cao Ang didn't have so much flirtatiousness, he clasped his fist at Jia Xu and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Jia, where did you start?"

Jia Xu chuckled, "Second Young Master has escaped a catastrophe today and saved his life, isn't it a very lucky day?"

When Cao Ang heard this, he laughed immediately: "What Jia Gong said is true, but today's situation, although a bit thrilling, but the so-called tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, I also thought that the second brother was not in danger at first."

Jia Xu shook his head, and said: "The old man's escape from a catastrophe does not mean that the second son can escape from Sikong's hands."
