There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

He knelt down to Cao Cao with a "plop", and said nervously, "Father, I'm sorry, my son didn't intend to leave Xuchang, but he heard that the frontline battles were tense. Yuan Jun attacked Guandu several times. My son thought of himself as the heir of the Cao family. The father and all the uncles in the family are fighting in front of the battle, while the child hides in the back and enjoys peace and happiness. This is really unfilial. Therefore, in the name of investigating the defense of Xuchang's surrounding fields, I ask the Lord of Manfu to give me some help. The army left Xuchang."

Cao Cao sneered when he heard the words: "It sounds good. You are not filial if you hide in Xuchang, then you are filial if you deceive Man Chong out of the city? It is filial to kill the soldiers of the three armies who accompanied you? Violating my military order is filial. Filial piety?"

When the words fell, Cao Ang bowed his head heavily and said, "Father please punish me!"

"You still have a bit of responsibility!" Cao Cao stood up suddenly, and shouted to the knife and axemen outside the tent: "Come here! Drag Cao Ang out and behead him!"

"My lord! No!"

"Sikong can't do it!"

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xun Yu, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others stood up to intercede for Cao Ang.

"Sikong! Although Zixiu is guilty of violating military orders, but because of his filial piety and suffering, please let Sikong allow him to take the blame and perform meritorious service!" Xiahou Dun said eagerly.

Cao Cao shook his head heavily, and said, "No, if he is let go, wouldn't the soldiers of the three armies have to accuse Cao of being selfish?"

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Zixiu killed Han Meng, and the morale of the soldiers of the three armies is greatly boosted by his achievements at this moment. How can he say that Sikong is favoritism? If Sikong kills Zixiu, I am afraid that all the soldiers of the three armies will be disappointed. In difficult times, if the three armies have no morale, how can they compete with Yuan Shao?"

Xun Yu also said: "Yes, Sikong, Yuan Shao is very powerful. Although we have won consecutive victories, we have not yet gained an advantage. Don't kill rashly, it is not good for the army."

Xi Zhicai also said: "Sikong, right now, the competition between our two armies is stillness. Use quietness to control quietness. Whoever reveals his flaws first will die without a place to bury him. The premise of this quietness is that no What a mess."

Cheng Yu also remonstrated: "I also ask Sikong to make a plan for the three armies, let the net be lenient, and pardon the eldest son."

Cao Cao lowered his head and looked at Cao Ang, who was full of remorse, feeling grief in his heart.

How could he really want to kill this son who was brought up by himself?It's just that disobedience to military orders comes first, if no punishment is imposed, how can everyone be convinced?

Some dramas have to be performed, and some bitter tricks have to be done. This is what the person in his position must do.

Cao Cao lamented in his heart, but his face was still serious and fierce.

"Hmph! What about the heroic spirits of the three armies who followed him out of Xuchang City?"

But Cao Chun stood up and said: "How can the two armies fight without injury? In the end, I will be willing to join the eldest son in the barracks to set up a memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers."

Xun You said: "That's right, Sikong, when the two armies fight, how can anyone survive? Besides, the Eldest Young Master beheaded Han Meng, it can be said that the merit outweighs the demerit."

Cao Cao snorted and said, "You said he beheaded Han Meng, but which one of you saw it with your own eyes? If Cao is not clear about the reward and punishment, how can he convince the allies?"

Xun You hurriedly said: "As for the killing of Han Meng, there are allies who can testify! Tao Taifu, General Zhao and the eldest son killed Han Meng, they must be able to testify...Tao Taifu, General Zhao, Yes or no?"

All the people in the tent looked at the potter and Zhao Yun.

Cao Cao also turned his head to look at the two expectantly.

As a friendly army, as long as the two of them open their mouths, it will naturally give Cao Cao the biggest step down. At that time, even if Cao Cao really wants to not let Cao Ang go, he will have to worry about the face of the friendly army.

This is human nature.

Not to mention that Cao Cao is just acting now.

It's a pity that Tao Shang and Zhao Yun didn't talk to Xun You at all.

The potter was holding a small wooden rubbish, and was sitting aside studying this gadget, while Zhao Yun, standing beside him, was looking up at the sky.

There was an awkward silence in the tent for a while.

Xun You was stunned for a while, then coughed heavily, and shouted, "Teacher Tao! I'm asking you something!"

The potter slowly put down the rubbish, rubbed his dry eyes, then raised his head and said, "Mr. Gongda, what can I ask you?"

The muscles on Xun You's face trembled a little.

This little bastard is playing dumb with me, isn't he?

Although he was upset, Xun You still asked him with a smile on his face: "Han Meng killed Mr. Cao himself. I wonder if Taifu Tao can prove this for Mr. Cao?"

The pottery merchant frowned and thought carefully, "Did Mr. Cao kill Han Meng? It doesn't seem to be the case."

After one sentence, there was an uproar.

Xun You nervously said to the Tao merchant, "Master Tao, you have to think it through before you speak!"

The pottery merchant turned his head and asked Zhao Yun: "Second brother, do you remember this?"

Zhao Yun was also full of bitterness, and made an effort to remember: "It seems to be, and it seems not... Whether it is true or not, it is just on the lips. The main reason is that Zhao has a big memory and can't remember it for a while."

All the civil and military members of the Cao family scolded their mothers one after another.

Are you two stupid?Can you forget what happened just last night so quickly?

What a fool!

Cao Ang was also very nervous, but he didn't dare to say more.

After all, the potter was the one who gave Han Meng's head to him, but Cao Ang didn't understand why the potter didn't stand up and help him clarify?Could it be that he still has some special plan in mind?

Xun You saw that the pottery merchant was going to mess things up, and if he talked nonsense, it would make Cao Cao's face look bad, and it would be difficult to mediate the matter of releasing Cao Ang along the way.

He hastily turned his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said: "Brother Kong Ming also accompanied Tai Tuo and others to the conquest, do you know if you can testify?"

Kong Ming is even more human, and he has a way of pretending to be stupid, not to mention that the pottery merchant had instructed him beforehand.

"I was not at the scene when the incident happened." Zhuge Liang replied indifferently, swinging his feather fan, looking like an outsider.

Everyone was confused, only Cao Cao was like a mirror.

He and the pottery merchant are both opponents and friends. After fighting against each other for so many years, he understands why this kid behaves like this.

"Cao promises you." Cao Cao said suddenly.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, what's the matter with this nonsensical sentence?

The Tao merchant raised his eyebrows, looked at Cao Cao with a smile, and said, "What does Brother Meng De mean by that? Tao doesn't understand."

Cao Cao sneered.

Return the fucking clothes!

"Brother Tao must have something to ask of me, right? You are kind to me by helping me keep Xuchang this time. As long as your conditions are not too excessive, Mr. Cao is willing to agree to all your requests."

Tao Shang secretly praised Cao Cao's brains.

Those who know me, Brother Meng De also!

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the pottery merchant stood up, pointed at Han Meng's head on the ground, and said, "Mr. Cao was indeed beheading Han Meng himself! Tao can testify for him!"
