Chapter 2523 If you don’t want to leave, then stay!
Stop the fight?
When Cao Potian heard these two words, he frowned slightly.
If these two words come out of someone else's mouth, then who do you think they are?
What qualifications do you have to stop the fight?
Who gave you face?
However, these two words came from the Master's mouth.
The Master is not only a master, but also the master of Jixia Academy. The literati in Central China regard the Master as a role model. Facing this respected old guy, Cao Potian did not dare to be disrespectful even though he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"Master, what do you mean?" Cao Potian pretended not to know.
The Master smiled and said, "That's the literal meaning."
Damn, no need to explain, you have such a big face.
Cao Potian thought about it and said, "Master, if I remember correctly, Jixia Academy has never intervened in the disputes of the Three Kingdoms, right?"
"This is a matter between our Da Wei and Da Zhou. Wouldn't it be better for you to intervene now?"
The Master said with a kind face: "War is a disaster! Isn't it good to live in peace? When war breaks out, it is the common people who suffer."
But what does attacking Yannan Pass have to do with the people?
There are no ordinary people here.
Cao Potian knew that this was Master's excuse, and immediately said: "Master, I was ordered by the King of Wei to attack Yannan Pass. I must capture Yannan Pass, otherwise I won't be able to explain when I go back."
The master said: "Otherwise, you go back and tell King Wei that he can come here in person and I can talk to him?"
How can this work?
Taking Yannan Pass is the task assigned to me by King Wei. If I cannot complete this task, what will King Wei think of me?
Also, if I really listen to you and go back and invite King Wei to come and meet you, then King Wei won’t call me stupid, right?
Besides, King Wei is currently completing his plan to unify Central Continent, so how can he have time to come over and talk to you?
That is Master, if it were anyone else, Cao Potian would scold him directly.
Asking King Wei to come and talk to you in person? Who are you?
Cao Potian pondered for a moment and said: "Master, you don't know something. The King of Wei is currently dealing with military affairs. I'm afraid I won't have time to come and meet you for the time being."
"Otherwise, I'll take a step back."
"You can take away Princess Ning'an and Master Kong."
The implication is that you can take away the people from Jixia Academy. As for the others, hehe...
Shine out without mistake!
The Master glanced at Ning An.
"I won't leave." Ning An said: "My father sent me to guard Yannan Pass. As the commander-in-chief, I cannot leave my post without authorization."
The master glanced at Kong Tianxia again, and the latter's eyes were somewhat evasive, and he lowered his head and said: "Master, Ning'an's father has appointed me as the deputy commander-in-chief of Yannan Pass. I want to help my junior sister guard the pass."
Yes, you have trapped me, the great disciple.
The master said to Cao Potian: "Master Cao, I would like to ask, if I take away Ning'an and Kong Tianxia, will you still attack Yannan Pass?"
Nonsense, the commander-in-chief is gone, how can there be no reason not to attack?
Cao Potian said: "I have to obey King Wei's order."
Master asked again: "If you capture Yannan Pass, what are you going to do with these 300,000 Zhou soldiers?"
Of course I killed them all.
Before coming, the King of Wei gave instructions that if the Zhou generals resisted when Yannan Pass was breached, they would be killed without mercy. If anyone surrendered, they would all be buried alive and no one would be spared.
Zhongzhou is a vast land with abundant resources, but the most indispensable thing is people.
However, Cao Potian cannot say these words now. If he tells the truth, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely resist to the death.
Although it cannot affect the final result, if the 300,000-strong army fights against the odds, the Wei officers and soldiers will suffer a lot.
Anyway, death is inevitable, so why not resist?
Instead of just sitting there and waiting to die, it would be better to grab a few people to support you before you die.
Cao Potian said: "The King of Wei said that after the unification of Zhongzhou, the people of Great Zhou will be the subjects of Great Wei, and the officers and soldiers of Great Zhou will also be the officers and soldiers of Great Wei."
"Therefore, King Wei gave them two choices, resist or surrender."
"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
"Those who surrender can be treated leniently."
"For those who surrendered, the King of Wei gave two more options. One is that after capturing Yannan Pass, if there are soldiers who want to continue to serve in the army, they can be incorporated into the Wei army and their salary will be doubled."
"Second, if someone doesn't want to join the army, then let them go. Before leaving, you can give them an appropriate settlement allowance."
"The conditions are good." Master asked the Zhou soldiers: "Are you willing to surrender?"
"I don't want to!" The 300,000 troops replied in unison, their voices like thunder, echoing under the sky.
These soldiers have integrity and blood.
I would rather die in battle than surrender and become a prisoner.
The Master said: "Master Cao, you have seen that none of the officers and soldiers of Zhou Dynasty are willing to surrender."
Cao Potian was a little annoyed and thought to himself, this is really shameless.
Before Master came, I had never seen you guys so brave!
Do you really think Master will support you? What a joke!
"In this case, I have no choice but to lead the army to attack and leave no one behind who resists." After Cao Potian finished speaking, he bent down and saluted the master, and then said, "Senior."
What he meant was, old man, get out of here and don't bother me doing my business here.
The master looked confused and said, "I didn't say I wanted to leave!"
Damn it, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?
Cao Potian said: "Master, I will start to attack Yannan Pass. This matter has nothing to do with Jixia Academy. Please leave as soon as possible."
The Master said: "I came to stop the war, but my goal has not been achieved, so how can I leave?"
Cao Potian's brows knitted together. Yes, this time it was not a frown, but a frown.
He had long been impatient.
If it were another person who was gibbering in front of him, he would have punched him into ashes, but the person in front of him was the Master, which gave him a headache.
"Master, what do you mean?" Cao Potian suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked.
The Master said: "That's what I think. Master Cao, both sides should take a step back."
"You take the soldiers of Wei back."
"How about I ask Ning An to bow to you and thank you for your noble hand?"
not so good.
This doesn't mean taking a step back, it's clearly just bowing your head.
Cao Potian's face looked a little ugly, and he said to himself: "I am the God of War, I don't need a little girl to bow to me, let alone bow, even if she is willing to sleep with me, I will win Yannan Pass."
"I can still tell the difference between Yannan Pass and bowing, which is more important."
"This is my first battle after surrendering to King Wei. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't even win Yannan Pass?"
Cao Potian thought of this and said with a serious face: "Master, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
"Before I arrived here, five commanders of the Wei Dynasty had died."
"If I lead my army to retreat, how can I be worthy of the five dead commanders?"
The Master sighed: "Since you don't want to leave, then you can stay!"
