"Those who dare to shoot women and children, Yi Sanzu!" The guards behind him also shouted in unison.

After shouting three times in a row, the soldiers stopped one after another.

Cao Cao looked back and saw that the Liyang battalion had cut off the back road for women and children, and was driving tens of thousands of people to the port.

"Open the door quickly!" Then he slapped his horse forward, raised his whip and asked.

Soldiers, how dare you slacken. Immediately removed the antlers to reject the horse, raised the gate again, and let the lieutenant and his party enter.

Cao Cao promoted the account and summoned all the captains into the port water.

"What do you mean?" The voices of the three clans of Yi still echoed in their ears, and the generals dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. The so-called "mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth". When the emperor's order is at the head, how can you have compassion. The act of riding the captain is really a woman's kindness.

If you are alone, you will bring disaster upon yourself. At this point, there were a few people who unconsciously grasped the handle of the knife.

Seeing that the captains were not good-looking, how could Cao Cao not know: "You know, if I hadn't blocked the arrows, the Liyang camp would have been in trouble!" ”

"This ......" everyone was really fooled. After seeing each other, they temporarily suppressed their anger and asked for advice: "Dare to ask the captain, what is the crime of acting according to the order and killing the Yellow Turban conformists?" ”

"The imperial court issued an edict asking me to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but did not specify the men and women. Yes and no? Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

"Exactly." Everyone nodded.

"In other words, it is up to us to decide what constitutes the 'remnant of the Yellow Turban'. Right or wrong? Cao Cao asked again.

"Yes." The crowd nodded again.

"In this case, why do the knights of the Three Rivers only take the strong, but drive all the old and weak women and children here!" Cao Cao asked.

"This ......" the crowd was speechless.

"I expected. The captive general and General Zuo Zhonglang, who were far away in Yecheng, had already made their own decisions, who should be killed and who should not be killed. Therefore, the old, weak, women and children were all released to flee. It must not be killed! If I wait for the halfway volley, I will kill him. It will be framed afterwards. If the court blames it, how can the life of the family be saved! Cao Cao's words were conclusive.

After thinking about it, everyone suddenly woke up: "Du Wei is reasonable!" If the women and children are also counted among the remnants, why don't the soldiers of Yecheng take it themselves, how can they drive them here? ”

Talk to each other and reach a consensus. The lieutenants humbly asked: "Dare to ask the captain, what should I do now?" ”

"Send them all away." Cao Cao finally said what he was thinking.

Dealing with this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals must not be taken lightly. Thinking of the thaw of the river that night, the momentum was huge, like a galloping horse. Although everyone knew the reason, they never mentioned it, they just wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, how can Cao Cao not be secretly wary.

"Where?" The crowd asked again.

"Send it to ......" Cao Cao couldn't help but run out of words. After a moment's thought, I then woke up. Even though the north and south of the river are thousands of miles away, how can there be a place where these remnants of the Yellow Turban stand.

There was silence in the tent for a while.

Kill and can't kill. Send it and can't send it away. So it can't be.

"It's better to send it to the ship, it's a hundred." Someone suddenly remembered Cao Cao's previous plan. Why don't you load all these hot potatoes onto ships and burn them to ashes on the river. This not only does not violate the emperor's order, but also separates itself from the Liyang camp.

Now that I think about it, I still have better riding skills!

Although cold sweat broke out, Cao Cao bared his teeth and smiled, his face was full of lightness: "This time, that time." Previously driven by night, now raided by day. Even if you sail into the big river, you can't get rid of us. ”

"According to the Captain, what should we do now?"

In a hurry, Cao Cao had a flash of inspiration: "Send it to the country of thistle!" ”

“……”

Cao Cao, who only cared about justifying himself, couldn't see the strange look on everyone's faces at all. Still gushing: "The Thistle King and I even make friends." Be kind to the homeless, and the world will know it. Tens of thousands of women and children happened to go out to sea by boat and go north to the country of Ji. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Speaking of subtleties, give a high-five. raised his head sharply, but saw the smiles on everyone's faces, and it was too late: "Ahem!" This plan is very good, and we all look forward to it with the captain as the horse! ”

"We are all looking forward to the captain!" Everyone clenched their fists.

"Well, pass me on the order. Immediately send the women and children on board the ship and sail to the country of thistle. Make no mistake! ”

"Whoa!" Seeing Cao Cao triumphant, he strode out of the account. A cadre of people looked at each other: "Du Wei...... Do you really have a relationship with the thistle king? ”

"I'm afraid it's not." Someone sighed: "This is a plan to lead the water to the east!" ”

Each is powerful, how can Cao Cao not know.

As soon as he came out of the tent, his eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground. Hurriedly stabilized his mind and said silently: "Xuande, don't blame me. In the whole world, there is no one who can save tens of thousands of women and children, and he is the king......"

Without further ado. The generals under his command then returned to the various departments to convey the orders of the cavalry commanders. Unexpectedly, the soldiers under his command shouted one after another, unwilling to receive orders.

The Liyang Battalion is a standing soldier of the Empire. The forces of all parties are intertwined and mixed. The soldiers in the battalion are not an exaggeration to say that they are proud soldiers. previously borrowed the river to thaw, wanting to give Cao Cao a dismount. It is to let him know that it is difficult to do it.

Now tens of thousands of women and children are trapped in Liyangjin, all unarmed and slaughtered. How can you let it go?

Besides, the emperor's order cannot be violated. What about women and children? They are all remnants of the Yellow Turban, and they can be killed!

The commanders, commanders, and soldiers under their command couldn't hold back the bullets, and they rushed to report each other.

It is about to provoke a mutiny. The lieutenants of the various departments came again to ask for help.

Look at the Hebei battlefield. Those who want to let tens of thousands of women and children have a way to live, Cao Mengde is the only one.

Knights of the Three Rivers, exhausted. Liyang camper, rat bogey. Whether to kill or not to kill depends on Cao Cao's intentions. However, as a cavalry lieutenant who rode into the camp alone, Cao Cao had no cronies, no prestige, and no background in the Liyang camp. It's really isolated and alone. If he forcibly gave his order and provoked a mutiny, not only would his own life be at risk, but also tens of thousands of women and children would be sent to his death with him.

Cao Cao knew it in his heart. This group of women and children is born like grass mustard. No one cares if they live or die.

Now, whether tens of thousands of women and children are dead or alive is all in his thoughts.

I was anxious and sweated coldly. But Cao Mengde's face did not change, and he smiled slightly, all under control: "What's so difficult about this?" Let the women and children abandon their burdens, take off their outer robes, wear only middle clothes, and cross the river lightly! ”

"Whoa!" The crowd rejoiced.

Riding the commander's words, he took away all the jewelry, money and goods carried by the women and children. Wear only a medium coat on board.

When the goods are in hand, the soldiers in the battalion should get their wishes. As for worthless human lives, let them go. Women and children are headed, and they can't be counted anyway.

"Wait for the order: remove the jewelry, abandon the baggage, board the ship in the middle clothes, and go to the country of thistle. If you dare to hide your secrets, you will not be pardoned! ”

"Abandon all the baggage, and board the ship in the middle clothes; If you dare to hide your secrets, you will not be pardoned! The sergeant shouted with a wave of his sword.

A group of women and children, panicking, ran day and night. The cloak was scattered, covered with dirt, and had long since fallen out of shape. It's a beauty, and nowadays it's like a person, and it stinks. It's sick to your stomach when you look at it more, how can anyone come forward to rob you. It's a blessing in misfortune.

Shout three times in a row. Then a woman took off her jewelry, discarded her baggage, and removed her robe, in full view of the public. Wearing only plain mid-tops, he walked towards the port.

"Release!" Cao Cao gave an order.

The sergeant was let go.

As she walked through the bushes like a forest of swords and walked to the boat, the woman suddenly turned around. Cao Cao, the main general standing under the banner, bowed down: "Thank you for the grace of the general's life." ”

Cao Cao almost burst into tears. Gritting his teeth to stabilize his mind, he stepped forward and returned the salute solemnly: "Madame, please get up." ”

When the woman got up, Cao Cao took out a gilded bronze medal of the divine beast from his sleeve. This card is carved with double dragons, tattooed with gluttony, which has the gilt 'all free' two words: "This is a gift from the king of thistle, and Mrs. Lao is personally handed over to the officials of the thistle." The thistle king has seen this card, and everything is clear. ”

"Cheap concubines for tens of thousands of orphans and widows, thank the general."

"Hurry aboard."
