Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh blindfolded
In any case, Tao Shang could be regarded as doing Cao Cao a favor. No matter how insincere or fake the favor was, it was still a favor, and Cao Cao had to accept this favor no matter what.
But this favor is really awkward and makes people feel unhappy.
Cao Cao gave Tao Shang a stern look, suppressed his anger, and said, "Since what the Taifu said, it must be true. Han Meng must have been killed by Ang'er."
Tao Shang solemnly nodded and said: "It is indeed true. Although Mr. Zixiu has done something wrong, his feelings are pitiful. Since he has already made great achievements, please ask Sikong to allow him to make meritorious deeds. And the two armies
In front of the battle, it is a sensitive time. Killing without permission is useless. Brother Meng De thinks about it carefully."
The stone in Cao Cao's heart fell, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He nodded to the pottery merchant: "Since the Taifu is willing to vouch for this bastard boy, alas! Forget it, then Cao will be lenient and spare this traitor.
That’s life.”
When everyone in Cao's army heard this, they felt relieved.
Cao Ang has done something wrong, but the punishment is not as good as that of a doctor, let alone beheading a son in front of the battle?
Cao Ang was also relieved.
Cao Cao said calmly: "However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Cao Ang violated military law and must be punished! If he is not punished, it may not be enough to deter the three armies... The left and right push him down, take him to the school ground, and give him five battle punishments."
ten!"
When everyone heard this, they all felt that it was a bit heavy. Under normal circumstances, fifty strikes would be enough to kill Cao Ang.
But Cao Cao had spared Cao Ang after all, and everyone couldn't say much.
Moreover, the soldiers who performed the battle were all Cao Cao's close servants. Those people were discerning and had their own priorities. It must have been nothing important, just a superficial appearance to show to the officers and men of the three armies.
After Cao Ang was taken down, Cao Cao immediately announced that the accounts were dismissed, but after everyone left, Tao Shang and Zhao Yun obviously had no intention of moving.
When he saw that the pottery merchant refused to leave, Cao Cao's right eyelid twitched.
Cao Cao now wanted to regret what he said in a moment of excitement.
Who knows what mischief this kid will do.
He coughed lightly, pretended not to see the potter, got up and wanted to slip out of the tent.
The potter didn't give him any chance.
"Brother Meng De, where are you going in such a hurry? Don't you see Tao is still sitting here?"
Cao Cao mentally greeted the female compatriots who were Tao Shang's ancestors one by one, and then he tried his best to smile, turned his head and gestured to Tao Shang's forehead: "Brother Tao, is there anything else you want to advise? If you are willing to give me some advice,
You can sit here for as long as you like. Cao has some things to do. There are a lot of chores in the military camp, and they all need to be handled by someone. I'm very busy..."
Tao Shang smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother Meng De, if you are busy, please go by yourself. In fact, I don't have anything important to do... It's just that I suddenly remembered that Han Meng seemed to have been killed by Zhao Yun."
Cao Cao suddenly stopped walking out, he took a deep breath, and showed a gentle expression that would make him sick to death." Brother Tao just seemed to say that he wanted Cao to help with something.
, Oh, look at my memory. I forget everything when I get busy. This is what happens when I get older. I am not as young as you, brother... What's going on?"
The pottery merchant said with a smile: "Thank you, brother Meng De, for still remembering it. I almost forgot about it just now. Isn't it going to cause you trouble?"
Cao Cao turned around and came back, smiled and waved his hands and said: "No trouble, no trouble. What Brother Tao said, as a brother, you have to be treated with caution. Besides, you help me save Xuchang. Cao should be a little grateful.
"It's really not troublesome?" Tao Shang confirmed again. "It's really not troublesome." Cao Cao was very sure. "If it's inconvenient, Brother Meng De must tell me." "If you have any farts, just let them go."
Come on, stop inking, okay..."
Tao Shang said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but if our army returns to Xuzhou after defeating Yuan Shao, I would like to take a detour to Yingchuan and Yangdi. I wonder if Brother Meng De will agree?"
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. He thought that the pottery merchant wanted either money or the city.
It turned out that I had to take a detour and take the road.
The matter is not considered a big deal, but Tao's move may not be that simple.
Cao Cao still looked smiling on the surface, but there were already thousands of thoughts running through his heart.
Tao Shang looked at Cao Cao with a smile and said, "Brother Meng De, is this possible?"
Cao Cao only thought about it for a moment, but reacted immediately.
He smiled, stroking his beard and asked Tao Shang: "It's not a big deal, but Cao still has to ask, why did Prince Taiping act like this? Yangdi is not very close to Peicheng."
The pottery merchant sighed and said: "Back then, Kong Ni from Yingchuan was kind to me. Although he is dead now, I can't hope for the kindness of an old friend. I want to take this opportunity to go to my hometown to pay homage to him, which can be regarded as a complete blessing."
Rekindled the feeling of old friends."
When Cao Cao heard this, he secretly said, "What a fool!"
You still pay homage to Confucius? Why don’t you say you pay homage to Confucius?
In his heart, he was extremely disdainful of Tao Shang's words, but Cao Cao still smiled and said: "Brother Tao is really a person who values love and justice. If someone like you can be a friend, it will be a great blessing in life."
Tao Shang said with a smile: "Brother Meng De praised me very much. If there is a chance in the future, Tao will do the same thing to my brother."
After Cao Cao heard this, he thought it was pretty good at first, but later he thought about it and it didn't make sense.
This seems to be cursing me to death.
Suppressing the anger in his chest, Cao Cao calmly said to Tao Shang: "Since Brother Tao values love and righteousness so much, what's the harm in Cao's wish to help you? But how can you be so confident that we can defeat Yuan Shao and look back?
If Yuan Shao defeats us, let alone you going to Yangdi to pay homage to Kong Ni, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will have to pay homage to you and me.
Tao Shang smiled and said: "With Brother Meng De here to arrange the arrangements, Tao is very confident in defeating Yuan Shao... Follow Brother Cao, and everything will happen."
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
After the matter was settled, Tao Shang and Cao Cao exchanged a few polite words and then left.
As soon as Tao Shang left, Cao Cao immediately sent for Xi Zhicai.
Cao Cao narrated the Tao Shang's request to Xi Zhicai, and then said: "The Tao Shang seems to be a good gentleman, but in fact he is as cunning as a fox. He always does things with deep meaning. This time he said that he would go to Yingchuan after the war.
Cao couldn't figure out his true meaning for a while, so he called in the actor. What do you think of this?"
Although Xi Zhicai was good at strategy and design, he could not figure out the meaning of such a strange and bizarre request for a moment.
When I was young, I heard him say slowly: "If Tao Shang misses Kong Ni so much that he goes to his hometown to pay homage to him, I don't believe it. Even if his relationship with Kong Ni is really so good, he will set up a house in Xuzhou."
The mourning hall is enough. This move is indeed strange, but it doesn't matter. We don't have to know what the potter wants to do. We only need to know the movements of the other army and then design it."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became overjoyed and said: "The idea of the drama king is that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the pottery merchant to go to Yangdi, and design a plan to cut off his return route..."
When he said this, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and made a beheading motion.
