Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 718 Exchange
Xu Capital City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xun You came back here as soon as possible to explain to Cao Cao the conditions for the exchange of people in Yizhou.

Knowing that Wu Shun wanted to get arrows, Cao Cao's already dark face could almost drip water.

"How can Wu Shun be such a rascal!"

Cao Cao almost overturned the case, and Wu Shun's request was a bit bullying.

The same general, why did Cao Cao pay an extra price.

"My lord, my subordinates are ineffective!"

Cao Cao's anger made Xun You a little embarrassed, after all, he brought the condition back.

"Gongda, it's not your fault..." Cao Cao sighed.

Power is stronger than others, Cao Cao knew that Xun You tried his best, so it's no wonder Xun You did this.

"The Wuling Army had a precedent of releasing captives before. Liu Biao had suffered a lot during his lifetime." Cao Cao said helplessly.

For Xu Chu's sake, let Wu Shun kill him, there is no other way.

"My lord, the Wuling Army wants arrows and food, so just give them. Wu Shun didn't say what kind of arrows and food he wants," Cheng Yu said.

This is a capable person who thinks he is cruel and merciless. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Cao suddenly became enlightened.

Wu Shun did not explain what kind of arrows and how much food and grass he wanted.There is a lot to do here.

For example, send some moldy and damaged grain and grass to the car, and send some arrows that are no longer needed. As long as you can get away with it, you can bring people back.

"Is this too risky?"

Cao Cao hesitated, he knew that Wu Shun hated others to lie to him the most.If after exchanging people, let him find out that there is a problem with the supplies, the consequences may be serious.

"My lord, now we and the Wuling army are in the same boat, so we don't need to worry about anything else."

Cheng Yu said.

"What do Gongda think?" Cao Cao asked.

"feasible."

Xun You replied.

It is absolutely unacceptable to do such a thing as capitalizing on the enemy.

Both counselors agreed to do that, and Cao Cao was going to do it.Just when a decision was about to be made, Cao Ren came.

"Zixiao came in a hurry, is there something urgent?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Ren came running all the way, looking very anxious.

"It is widely rumored in the city that the lord will exchange one hundred thousand arrows and fifty thousand stones of grain and grass with the Wuling army for General Xu Chu!"

Cao Ren said.

"So fast?" Cao Cao was very surprised.

He hasn't made a decision yet, and rumors are spreading in the city?
It must be a rumor!

"My lord, it must be the masterpiece of the black guard."

Cheng Yu said.

Apart from the black-clothed guards of the Wuling Army, who else could spread the news in such a short period of time.

"Wu Shun did this to force the lord to submit." Xun You said.

Now that the news has spread in the city, it will be Cao Cao's problem if Cao Cao doesn't give the Wuling army the ordnance and supplies that Wuling Army wants, and if he can't get Xu Chu back.

Wu Shun's move caught everyone in Cao Cao by surprise.

"My lord, I simply fulfilled Wu Shun's wish, and used [-] arrows and [-] stones of food and grass to exchange for General Xu Chu with great fanfare."

Xun Yu said.

He believed that Wu Shun just helped Cao Cao a lot by doing so.

Now Cao Jun is sticking to Xudu and is already in a weak position.However, Cao Cao was willing to spend a large price in exchange for the captured generals, which could stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale.

"Haha, it turns out that this matter is not without benefits." Cao Cao was very happy, there is no end to the road.

"In that case, prepare one hundred thousand arrows and fifty thousand stones of grain and grass, and make an appointment with Wu Shun to exchange them. This matter will be prepared by Zhong De," Cao Cao ordered.

"This subordinate obeys orders." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao handed over the matter to himself, explaining that his previous proposal can still be used, as long as it is not discovered by others.

Soon, Cheng Yu prepared the necessary supplies, and Cao Cao personally took them to the designated place.

A long team came out of Xudu City, and all the soldiers knew that that team carried [-] arrows and [-] stones of food and grass to replace Wuling Army.

……

Ten miles away from the Wuling army camp, Wu Shun took Zhang Xiong and Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu had been waiting for a long time.

The captives were exchanged here, the place was set by Cao Cao, and the time was set by Wu Shun, which was very fair.

"General Xu Chu, Cao Cao has treated you well, and is willing to pay a high price to exchange you back."

Wu Shun said to Xu Chu who was beside him.

"My lord treats all the generals under his command equally." Xu Chuweng said angrily.

Although nothing could be seen on the surface, Xu Chu's heart was extremely excited at this time.When he knew that Cao Cao was going to exchange him with Gan Ning, his loyalty to Cao Cao increased a little.

"Cao Jun will arrive in a while. Does General Xu Chu really not consider my Wuling Army? You know, the Wuling Army is much stronger than Cao Jun."

Wu Shun continued.

At the last moment, he still wanted to give it a try, in case Xu Chu changed his mind.

It's a pity that Wu Shun thought too much, and Xu Chu's loyalty to Cao Cao never wavered.

"Thank you for your kindness, General, you and I have different ideas!"

Xu Chu refused.

This time, he was very polite.

During the time in the Wuling army camp, Wu Shun treated him really well. If he hadn't met Cao Cao first, maybe he would have been influenced by Wu Shun's actions.

There was the sound of neat footsteps in the distance, and Wu Shun knew that Cao Cao was coming.

After Cao's army finished forming, Cao Cao hurried forward and said, "Zixuan, you want arrows, arrows, food and grass. I have already brought them, and now they can be exchanged."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the carriage loaded with arrows and grain was pulled out.

"Meng De's work is really fast. Now that the arrows and food have arrived, let me send someone to check them first." Wu Shun said.

Arrows, food and grass are necessary for war. If you don't check them, you won't feel at ease.

"Zilong, go and investigate." Wu Shun ordered.

"The last will obey!"

Zhao Yun, dressed in a white robe and battle armor, rode out and headed straight for Cao Jun.In the face of tens of thousands of Cao Jun, single-handedly, without fear.

After casually inspecting several carts of arrows and grain, Zhao Yun found nothing wrong, so he waved his hand to Wu Shun.

"Second brother, take Xu Chu over there and bring Xingba back safely."

Wu Shun ordered.

"Don't worry, brother!"

Zhang Xiong responded, and directly escorted Xu Chu forward.

At the same time, Cao Cao also ordered his soldiers to escort the grain and grass carts to the designated location. Cao Ren and Xu Huang escorted Gan Ning and began to step out of the formation.

The two sides exchanged prisoners. Zhang Xiong and Zhao Yun were on the Wuling Army's side, and Cao Ren and Xu Huang were on the Cao Army's side.

"Xingba, how is your robbery?"

Seeing Gan Ning being escorted over, Zhang Xiong couldn't help asking.

"Second General, please take care, a little injury is almost healed." Gan Ning replied.

Gan Ning was very touched when Wu Shun exchanged Xu Chu for him. At this time, he had already made up his mind to do his best and be loyal to Wu Shun in this life!
"Cao Ren, let's exchange!" Zhang Xiong shouted loudly.

There were no Cao soldiers beside the arrows and the grain and grass carts, and the soldiers of the Wuling Army had already begun to pull the carts back.

"Let's change it!" The time was almost up, and Cao Ren agreed to carry out the exchange at this time.

Both sides are holding each other's people, and they are approaching step by step.
