Lu Dynasty

Chapter 868
"Father!" Seeing Cao coming out, Cao Jie rushed to meet him.

"Jie'er!" Cao squeezed out a smile and said, "Go and clean up, and go back with Wei Father to see Mother!"

"This..." Cao Jie was stunned.The ancients said: A daughter who is married off is the water that is poured out, so it is said that the water is hard to recover.Under normal circumstances, a daughter cannot stay overnight when she returns to her natal home, but Cao actually let her go back, Cao Jie immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What?" Seeing Cao Jie's hesitation, Cao couldn't help but angrily said, "You don't even listen to your father's words after you're married?"

"No...not..." Seeing that Cao got angry, Cao Jie's fear of her father made her swallow her saliva and said, "Father...Father, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty is gone!" Cao patted Cao Jie's head and said, "Daughter, it is the father who is sorry for you! Pack up and go back with the father! Stay with the father for a few more days, and it won't be long before we...hehe ..."

Cao's smile was very bitter, but Cao Jie looked distressed.A woman's heart is the softest place. Cao Jie couldn't help but shed tears when he saw his father, who used to be a high-spirited man, now looked like an old man waiting to die.

"Don't cry!" Cao felt that his nose was sore, as if there were tears streaming from his eyes, he quickly wiped it away and said, "It's okay! Even if you lose for your father, if you think the relationship between father and Lu Feng, you will Don't worry! Maybe Lu Feng will still be moved when he sees you as a beautiful niece!"

"Father!" Cao Jie blushed.She supported Cao and walked slowly out of the palace. She knew that Liu Xie was in danger!However, Cao Jie didn't have any relationship with Liu Xie, and it was her most respected father who killed Liu Xie. As a daughter of a family, marriage and misfortune are normal. To have a father who loves her is already considered Fortunately.Cao Jie couldn't bear to hurt her father, and returned to the Cao family where she was born and raised with tears of happiness or sadness.

Boom... Boom... Boom The sound of our army's strong attack echoed on Shouchun City. The crumbling Shouchun City was finally broken under our army's strong attack.Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun entered from the four gates, and I took Dian Wei and Xu Chu straight to Cao's mansion.

"Give me an order: Surround the Cao family, do not tamper with Cao's plants or trees, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" My order was issued before the city was broken.Although I believe that my soldiers will not spare their lives, in the battle with Cao, so many people died in our army, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will fish in troubled waters.In addition, the aristocratic families who were originally coerced by Cao also hated Cao deeply. If they had any ill intentions towards the Cao family, it would also give me a headache.Sima Yi's lesson from the past is still in front of us, so I naturally want to protect the Cao family well.

In front of the gate of Cao's mansion, there are only soldiers wearing Cao's uniforms standing guard here, and Cao's troops in other places have been killed and dispersed.Originally, Lu Bu wanted to go directly to Cao's mansion, but after listening to my order, he changed his way to hunt down the defeated soldiers.When I came to the gate of Cao Mansion, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were already waiting for me here!

"Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, Zi Lian!" Looking at the old friends from the past, I couldn't help feeling bitter.To be honest, if possible, I would not want to be their enemy, but I have no choice but to be their enemy.

"King Qin! Meng De is already waiting for you at the mansion!" Xiahou Dun calmly gave me a guide.

"Yuan Rang, although Miaocai died at the hands of Huang Zhong, but..."

"King Qin!" Xiahou Dun said expressionlessly, "On the battlefield, life and death are up to fate, Meng De is waiting for you inside!"

I watched Xiahoudun sigh and walked into Cao's mansion.

"Brother Baxian, you are finally here!" Cao was sitting in the main hall, where a table of banquets was set up.

"Brother Meng De, you are defeated now, I don't know..."

"Brother Baxian, let's gossip and have a drink with me first!" Cao picked up a glass of wine and was about to drink it.

I grabbed Cao's hand, changed the wine in his hand, and took another cup, poured it for him, and said with a smile: "Brother Mengde, please!" After finishing speaking, I picked up Cao and poured it for me I drank all the wine in one gulp.

Cao looked at me dumbfounded. He knew that I was afraid of him committing suicide, but he was not afraid of him poisoning me.Cao pointed at me and cursed: "Okay Lu Baxian, do you think I, Cao, do not believe what I say?"

"Who knows!" I said with a smile, "You're a traitor, and you often do some fictitious tricks, I don't want you to die!"

"Why?" Cao stared into my eyes.

"What why?" I picked up the jug and poured myself another glass, "You are so stingy, you actually entertained me with my wine, and you are reluctant to bring out the best!"

"There is no such thing as the best! Since the beginning of the battle between you and me, there has been no wine in Shouchun. These two altars are used to celebrate after I plan to repel you!" Cao smiled bitterly: "Don't change the topic! I have already I'm a vassal, and I'm already 60 years old, and I still suffer from a headache, why do you need to make so much effort to subdue me!"

"Do you remember Xu Zijiang's evaluation of you?"

"A minister capable of governing the world, a hero in troubled times?" Cao laughed, "That's what General Xu Zi reluctantly said under my pressure."

"No! Xu Zi is very accurate in seeing people!" I laughed and said, "Brother Meng De, the world has come to rule the world, you are a capable minister, and you are about to be useful!"

"I'm old!"

"The old man has a great ambition, and the martyr is full of ambition in his old age!" I picked up the wine glass and said, "These two sentences are made by yourself. Are you just giving up like this? Are you going to be labeled as a loser in history? Back then you Tell me, you want to engrave "the tomb of the Marquis of Cao Xi" on the tombstone after you die, have you forgotten? Maybe you can't help the country, but you can achieve other wishes! I believe, Cao Qibing It is for the country and the people, not for my own self-interest! This is why I have always been friendly to you!"

"Brother Baxian! I..." Cao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, but felt extremely bitter.

I smiled and said: "Now the big man is still harassed by foreigners. With the strength of our army, as long as we unite the whole country, it is not difficult to wipe out the foreign people. But the big man also needs to be built. I can't send out those civil servants and generals, so what I need The more power the better! Brother Meng De, are you willing to help me?"

"This..." Cao hesitated. From the beginning to the end, he didn't really want to surrender, and even if he surrendered, he wanted to find a place to live in seclusion, but I actually asked him to become an official. Cao couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Ba Xian Brother, aren't you afraid that I will raise my army after gathering strength?"

I laughed loudly and said, "Brother Mengde, if you still want to rebel against me after listening to my plan, I will kill you, and I will have no regrets!"
