Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 716 Cao Cao's Wrath

Prime Minister's House.

Cao Cao's generals and advisers all stood in awe, and no one dared to speak out.In today's battle, the Wuling army took the initiative to retreat, so it can't be regarded as their victory.

In addition, Cao Cao trusted Guo Jia, who was his right-hand man, to be a spy arranged by Wu Shun.Fortunately, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, so he kept an extra eye on everything, otherwise Xu would be worrying.

Thinking that if the clues were not discovered earlier, everyone in the prime minister's mansion felt numb!
Although Yizhou's method is insidious, as long as it is not discovered, it is an arrangement that can directly determine the outcome.

"The assassin, have you ever caught him?"

Cao Cao, who had calmed down, asked.

"Not yet." Cao Ren came out and said.

The assassin who assassinated Cao Cao was superb in martial arts, and he was never seen again after he disappeared.

"Send more people to eliminate the spies in the city!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

The spies arranged by Wu Shun are too many and too secretive. Now that Cao Cao has seen the seriousness of the harm, it is only natural to order the purge.

"My lord, people in the court are panicking now. If there is no stability, there will be great chaos."

Xun Yu came out and said.

The Wuling army had already killed Xudu, and the officials in the city were scared out of their wits.Just because Cao Cao's majesty is still there, they dare not show it.

However, today's Xu Capital City is indeed a dark tide!
In today's war, some people are already dissatisfied with Cao Cao.

After all, on the first day of the Wuling army's attack, the west city gate was breached, and the combat power of Cao's army was no longer enough to be trusted.

"Zhongde, you send people to watch those officials, whoever dares to do something that is not good for Xu will be executed directly!" Cao Cao ordered.

The reason why Chen Yu was asked to take charge of this matter was because Chen Yu was a diehard loyalist of Cao Cao, and he handled things cleanly, like using human flesh to make dry food, which was written by Chen Yu.
Although Xun Yu has outstanding ability and Wang Zuozhi's talent, but he himself is a representative of the aristocratic family, and it is unlikely that he will do anything to kill the grass and roots.

These families gathered in Xudu are more or less related.

"Obey!" Chen Yu did not shirk Cao Cao's order. There was indeed no one more suitable than him in Cao Cao's army.

"Cao Ren, the Wuling army will not retreat easily. You must strictly patrol and don't let Wu Shun take advantage of it." Cao Cao said again.

"The last will obey!"

Cao Ren is in charge of Xudu's defense, and doing a good job of patrolling is only one part of it.

"Liu Ye, mount the thunderbolt car on the city wall as soon as possible to increase the defensive force."

The fire bombs of the Wuling Army really made Cao Jun suffer a lot. Cao Jun also has a thunderbolt car. He only needs to move to the city wall to confront the Wuling Army. No matter how bad it is, he can lose both sides!
You can't just be beaten blindly, this is Cao Cao's idea.

"My subordinates immediately arranged for manpower to install the thunderbolt car on the city wall." Liu Ye said.

The improver of the thunderbolt car is very smart. At this time, Cao Cao personally explained it, and he was quite excited.

"My lord, are you negotiating with the Wuling Army to return General Xu Chu?"

Xun You asked.

After Xu Chu was arrested, the Tiger Guards had no one to command, and their combat power dropped drastically.Otherwise, if Gan Ning's marines caused trouble in the city, they wouldn't even think about running away.

"Is Wu Shun willing to let him go?" Cao Cao asked.The Wuling Army had a tradition of capturing enemy generals and releasing them back, but that required a price to be paid.The most important thing is, now that the Wuling army is trying to prepare to break through Xu Du, how could they let Xu Chu back.

"You have to try to know!" Xun You said.With Xu Chu guarding Cao Cao, they felt more at ease.

In the process of negotiating with the Wuling Army, you can also find out Wu Shun's next intentions.

"How sure is this matter?"

If Xu Chu can be exchanged, Cao Cao is naturally willing, even if it costs some money, it will not hesitate.

"My lord, the Tiger Guards failed to seize this moment, but they captured Gan Ning, the captain of the navy in Yizhou!"

Xun You laughed.

Gan Ning was injured and was placed in a residential house. Because Wang Yue's assassination failed, he was searched and pursued by Cao Cao's Tiger Guards. This search just happened to find Gan Ning.

To say that Gan Ning is also a sad man, he ran into dozens of tiger guards, he was injured, he was captured alive after struggling a few times, and all the guards in black who protected him were beheaded!

When Cao Cao heard that Gan Ning had been arrested, he suddenly became energetic: "Bring him up!"

Now that Gan Ning has been captured, the elite Wuling army in the city is probably the legendary Jiaolong marines.

Thinking of the purpose of the Marine Corps, Cao Cao hated it!

"Kneel down!" Two soldiers escorted Gan Ning in, trying to force Gan Ning to kneel down to Cao Cao, but Gan Ning just stood upright and let them kick and beat him, but he refused to kneel!
"Forget it, back off."

Unwilling to kneel, Cao Cao did not force it.Cao Cao admired a man as resolute as Gan Ning.

"Aren't you going to untie the governor of Gan Ning soon?" Cao Cao shouted.

The two soldiers hurriedly let Gan Ning go, and then retreated. They are no longer needed here.

"Cao Cao, don't be hypocritical, catch this general, are you going to kill or scrape?"

Gan Ning stared blankly.

The moment he was caught, he had already thought of his own ending.No matter what Cao Cao did, he would not appreciate it.

"Xingba is really a bold person, come on, give me a seat!"

Cao Cao was not angry at Gan Ning's rebuttal, instead he arranged a seat for Gan Ning.This made Gan Ning a little confused, so, what is Cao Cao's purpose in catching himself and not killing him?
"If you have anything to say, say it."

Gan Ning is not stupid, Cao Cao did not convict him or execute him, so there must be something to say.

"Xingba is quick to speak, so let's just tell the truth. I heard that Wu Shun let Xingba take charge of the Yizhou navy, and that Truth also intends to build a navy. I wonder if Xingba is willing to help me?"

Cao Cao is blatantly surrendering.

"Don't think about it!"

Gan Ning's answer was straightforward!

"Since Xingba is unwilling, it's no wonder Ben wants to be cruel." Cao Cao said.

If you don't agree, you will die. In the past, people like Cao Cao went out.

But this time is different from the past, his personal guard, Xu Chu, was captured alive by the Wuling army.Presumably Wu Shun also tried every means to surrender, but Cao Cao had confidence in Xu Chu.

Xun You said that when Gan Ning was arrested, Cao Cao had an idea in his mind to exchange Xu Chu with Gan Ning.

Gan Ning is the captain of the navy in Yizhou, and the Marine Corps has already lost more than half of it.Putting Gan Ning back did not pose a great threat to him.

On the contrary, if Xu Chu came back, it would be a great encouragement to Cao Jun's soldiers.And your own safety is guaranteed.

When Gan Ning heard Cao Cao's words, he thought he was about to be killed, and felt infinitely regretful.His navy hasn't gone to sea yet, the lord hasn't ruled the world yet, and he's about to die...

"If you want to kill, hurry up!" Gan Ning said to Cao Cao.

"Take him down!" Cao Cao did not order Gan Ning to be killed, but ordered Gan Ning to be taken down and imprisoned.

"Gongda, can you exchange Zhongkang with Gan Ning?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, this subordinate is willing to go and have a try." Xun You said.

He felt that with Wu Shun's character of caring for his soldiers, he was probably willing.
