Chen Gong and Gao Shun had already arrived at the door at this time. When they saw Zhang Fei being escorted away, they immediately understood the reason.

Chen Gong said to the escorting soldiers, "Wait a minute, let me go and see the emperor's uncle."

The soldier looked at Chen Gong and stopped without any hesitation or questioning.

This was actually very against the rules. Not to mention that Chen Gong was an outsider, even if he was a general of his own unit, he could not allow his soldiers to disobey Uncle Liu's military orders and cooperate with him.

Chen Gong, who was anxious, did not react to such details. Since it was related to Zhang Fei's life and death, how could he dare to be negligent? He hurriedly pulled Gao Shun into the hall.

The two men bowed to Liu Yu, and Chen Gong's face was full of guilt.

"Uncle, if we two had not begged you so hard, you would not have allowed Marquis Wen to come to Xuzhou.

If he hadn't entered Xuzhou, there wouldn't be the disaster today. In the end, it's all because of our lack of consideration. If the emperor's uncle doesn't abandon me, I am willing to keep my promise and serve him at his command. "

"Uncle, I feel the same way."

Seeing that both of them agreed to serve him, Liu Yu's face was immediately filled with smiles.

"Okay, if I can get your help, I wouldn't mind even if I lost the entire Xuzhou, let alone the entire Xia Pi City."

What is the fight for in troubled times? Liu Yu is very clear that it may seem like territory and population, but in fact, the most essential thing is talent.

Without enough talent, even if you get enough land, you will eventually lose it.

Liu Yu had a faint smile on his face, with an attitude that said, "I have the best in the world, as long as I have talented people in my hands."

Chen Gong originally thought that even if Liu Yu did not reprimand him for losing Xia Pi, he would at least have some complaints. However, who would have thought that not only did he not complain at all, but he also said such words.

Just by virtue of Liu Yu's display of magnanimity, Chen Gong became even more certain that Liu Yu was the wise leader he had been waiting for.

"I am so honored by the Emperor's uncle. Even if I have to die, I will repay him for his kindness."

"Gongtai, be careful when you think of death. The Han Dynasty is in decline now, and we need talents like Gongtai to help us. Only then can the Han Dynasty be restored to its former glory."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best."

There was not much expression on Gao Shun's face. He had been under Liu Yu's command for some time and knew Liu Yu's personality very well. He knew that Liu Yu valued talents and would certainly not reprimand them because of the Xia Pi incident.

Things turned out just as Gao Shun had expected. Not only did Liu Yu not reprimand him, he also comforted him with kind words.

Although he already knew the final result, Gao Shun was still moved when he heard Liu Yu's words like a spring breeze. A kind word can warm you through the cold winter, and no one can refuse kindness again and again, especially the kindness of a superior.

Just like in the future, you grew up with the leader of a small company and were very loyal to the company, but the leader of the company knew that you were very loyal, but did not use you wholeheartedly. At this time, the actual controller of a listed company admired your talent very much. In order to poach you, he not only promised you a high salary and a high position, but also often invited you to dinner. After dinner, he held your hand and expressed his admiration for you, wanting you to come as soon as possible. If it were you, what would you choose?

Seeing Liu Yu's smile, Chen Gong bowed and said, "My lord, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can grant it?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you have any request, I will grant it."

Chen Gong smiled when he heard this.

"Please, my lord, forgive General Zhang's death."

"Gongtai, this..." Liu Yu pretended to be embarrassed.

"My lord, General Zhang lost Xiapi because of us. If we hadn't begged Uncle Liu, he wouldn't have allowed Marquis Wen to enter Xuzhou. How could General Zhang be guilty of losing Xiapi?"

"Gongtai's words may make some sense, but Yide is a drunkard by nature and cannot be happy without wine. Even if he doesn't get into trouble this time, he will cause trouble in the future because of drinking."

Chen Gong also understood this truth, but he had just joined Liu Yu's team. If Zhang Fei was killed because of the loss of Xia Pi City, people close to Zhang Fei would not dare to complain to Uncle Liu and would definitely vent their anger on him.

If there weren't so many people targeting him, even if he was valued by Uncle Liu, he probably wouldn't have a comfortable life. Knowing this, he must save Zhang Fei.

Since he couldn't gain the upper hand by reasoning with Uncle Liu, he decided not to talk about it. After all, Uncle Liu had already agreed to his request.

"My lord, you just promised that you would agree to whatever I asked. A gentleman's promise is as heavy as Mount Tai. My lord will not break his word, will he?"

Liu Yu showed a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face. After a moment, he said with some embarrassment: "In this case, bring Yide back first."

"Thank you, my lord." Chen Gong had a look of joy on his face and quickly saluted Liu Yu.

Zhang Fei was brought back and the expression on his face became a little more normal.

"Yide, Gongtai just pleaded for you and took the responsibility for the loss of Xiapi. In this case, your head will be on your neck for the time being."

"Uncle, is that true?" Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced. When he saw that no one was talking, he finally realized, "Thank you, uncle."

"No need to thank me, you have already thanked Gongtai. If he hadn't begged for mercy, I would have chopped off your head this time to enforce military law."

Zhang Fei was startled when he heard this. After a while, he regained his composure and saluted Chen Gong.

"Thank you for pleading for me, I will repay you in the future."

"General Zhang, you are too serious. I am also responsible for the loss of Xia Pi."

"Yide, you have been asked by the emperor to spare my life, but I cannot forgive you for your crime."

"Please punish me, uncle."

"This incident was caused by your drinking, so let's write about the word alcohol. How about this? Go back and write down the harmful effects of alcohol on this incident. The number of words should not be less than 1,000. When you finish writing, bring it to me as soon as possible."

From beheading to writing a thousand-word confession, the gap is quite big.

This shouldn't be the case! According to Liu Yu's attitude just now, Zhang Fei would have to suffer a lot if he didn't die. Now he only asked Zhang Fei to write an article.

It was so simple, and obviously somewhat illogical. Some doubts arose in everyone's mind. Could it be that Uncle Liu had planned to execute Zhang Fei from the very beginning?

Zhang Fei thought that the lightest punishment he could receive would be a beating with a stick, but who would have thought that he would be asked to write an article of only a thousand words?

Although he is not good at writing, it is not difficult for him to write a thousand words.

"Thank you, uncle, for not killing me. I will go write the article now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

After a while, Zhang Fei came back with a smile and handed the thin paper to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu took the thin paper and read it. The article was not gorgeous, but the attitude was quite sincere, which was good.

"Copy the contents of this piece of paper ten thousand times. You have to write it yourself. If there is even the slightest mistake, rewrite it."
