The book is picked up again.

“！！！” When everyone present heard Cao Cao's words, their faces changed dramatically after speaking.

They didn't expect Cao Cao to bring up this matter, and now, they really can't refute Cao Cao.

Because if you really count it, their trip can indeed be regarded as a big defeat and a loss.

Not only did they not do much damage to the enemy, but they added thousands of people to the enemy, and all of them were young and strong!

In this respect, they not only did not achieve the purpose of deterring the enemy, but on the contrary, they played the purpose of luring the enemy!

In other words, while they are nice, they are not up to the task!

In this way, Cao Cao will not need to make his original promise.

After thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to the Chen family master, and their eyes were full of blame,

If it weren't for the fact that the head of the Chen family had to exchange more than 10,000 soldiers and horses for that impostor, they would not have been held by Cao Cao.

The head of the Chen family was a little numb when he was looked at by everyone.

He is interested in the position of the head of the family, and now Cao Cao uses him as a reason to shirk the reward, which is equivalent to directly cutting off his road to the head of the family, which is absolutely intolerable to the head of the Chen family!

Therefore, he immediately stood up, and after bowing respectfully to Cao Cao, he said, "Cao Gong's words are wrong!

No matter what the results of the battle are, as long as the princes know that Cao Gong has the heart of losing both, they will not dare to continue to harass Cao Gong's rule!

Therefore, although on the surface, we are indeed defeated and lost, but our purpose has been achieved! ”

"......" Cao Cao had nothing to say after hearing the words of the Chen family master.

He didn't expect that when everyone in the family didn't react, the head of the Chen family actually reacted.

That's right, Cao Cao was just arguing!

The truth of the matter is just as the Chen family master said, when the princes knew that Cao Cao was both defeated, they did not dare to risk continuing to harass Cao Cao's subordinates.

All the princes knew that it was just a fluke that Zhang Yan was able to take advantage of this time.

The enemies he encountered were only a rabble of the family, so he could take advantage.

If he faced the elite in Cao Cao's hands, then Zhang Yan would definitely suffer heavy damage!

Therefore, the princes knew from the moment the family sent troops that if they continued to gain an inch, Cao Cao would definitely lose both without hesitation!

In this way, of course, the princes did not dare to continue to attack.

In other words, the moment the families sent out their troops, they completed their mission!

In fact, this task is easy to say and difficult to say.

The simplicity lies in the fact that as long as you are willing to send troops, you can complete the mission.

The difficulty is that as long as they send troops, they will be infamous on their backs!

Over the past few days, the world has gradually spread the cruelty of the family, and it is because of the family's dispatch this time.

This mission is a task to exchange one's reputation for an official position, and now that the family has been infamy, that is to say, they have completed their mission, so Cao Cao should fulfill his promise.

But Cao Cao didn't want to do that, he didn't intend to fulfill his promise from the beginning!

But now, he has been forced into a corner by everyone!

If he can't come up with a reasonable excuse, although these family heads can't do anything to him, but they can ruin his reputation and let everyone in the world know that he is a person who has gone back on his word, then who will be willing to serve him?

Just when Cao Cao was uncertain, Li Zhi, who had been pretending to be in line, suddenly spoke, "Meng... What is Brother Meng De doing standing there? Why don't you come over and have a drink with you? ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao, who was in a dilemma, heard Li Zhidi's words, his eyes lit up,

He knew that since Li Zhi had spoken, it would prove that Li Zhi had a way to relieve him of his predicament!

Therefore, he pretended to smile bitterly, came to Li Zhi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Xingzhi, Brother Wei is now dealing with business, you wait for a while, and Brother Wei will drink with you after a while, how about it?" ”

"Place... Dealing with official business? After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he asked with a drunken face, "What... What a male... Business? Say... Let's hear it. ”

Although Cao Cao didn't know why Li Zhi asked more questions when he heard it, he still told the story in detail.

After finishing speaking, he asked Li Zhi with hope, "What does Xingzhi Xian Brother think he should do as a brother?" ”

"Hiccup......" Li Zhi heard this, and after pretending to burp with wine, he patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and said with a displeased face: "Brother Meng De, this is your mistake, since you have agreed to this matter, why did you go back on your word at this time?"

The family has already borne the infamy for you, how can you not keep your promise to give them official positions? ”

"......" After Li Zhi finished speaking, the entire hall and street were quiet.

Cao Cao didn't expect Li Zhihui to suddenly speak for those people from the family, and he was stunned for a while.

And everyone in the family was also stunned by this at this time, and they couldn't understand why Li Zhi suddenly spoke for them.

But no matter whether Li Zhi deliberately did this or said something drunk, the family would not let go of this good opportunity.

"Luoyang Hou said this is very good!" After the head of the Chen family came back to his senses, he immediately followed Li Zhidi's words and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, you see that hussar generals and other resourceful people say this, what else do you have to hesitate about?"

He also asked Cao Gong to keep his promise and put what he promised into reality. ”

"......" Cao Cao looked at the drunken and hazy Li Zhi as if he hadn't heard the words of the Chen family master.

He now wondered if Li Zhi was really drunk, otherwise, why would he say such nonsense.

Haven't the two of them been discussing using sophistry to delay time, and then wait until they are sure that the other princes really don't intend to continue to disturb the realm, and then attack the family?

Why is Li Zhi suddenly speaking for the family now?

Just when Cao Cao was stunned, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and winked at Cao Cao from an angle that others couldn't see.

Then, he regained his drunken appearance and said, "Meng... Why didn't Brother Meng De speak? ”

"......" Cao Cao also saw Li Zhi winking at him, but he wasn't sure whether Li Zhi was drunk and joking with him, or if he was really hinting at him.

So he said tentatively: "Brother Xingzhi, you are drunk! ”

"Drunk? Nonsense, I'm not drunk! After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he picked up a glass of wine as if he was very unconvinced, grabbed Cao Cao's neck and poured it vigorously.

Li Zhi said while pouring it: "Brother Meng De, don't you know how much alcohol you are drinking?" You even said you were drunk?! It's a big mistake in the world, and you should be punished with a glass of wine! ”

When pouring wine, Li Zhi hugged Cao Cao's neck, slapped Cao Cao's shoulder twice with his right hand, and whispered in Cao Cao's ear, "Go with the flow, you have your own plans." ”

After finishing speaking, he poured the wine in his hand into Cao Cao's mouth.

After Cao Cao was poured a glass of wine, not only was he not angry, but there was a little smile in his eyes.

Because he is now sure that Li Zhi is indeed not drunk!

Since Li Zhi was not drunk, his actions at this time must have been for his good.

So Cao Cao made up his mind, no matter what Li Zhi said, he agreed!

If it were someone else, Cao Cao really didn't dare to trust him so much.

But if it were Li Zhi, then Cao Cao wouldn't matter.

Cao Cao trusted Li Zhidi for two reasons:

First, Cao Cao believed that Li Zhi would never harm him, especially when facing the family.

Second, Li Zhi and the family are mortal enemies, even if Li Zhi throws himself into the family, the family will not let Li Zhi go!

Therefore, once the family gains momentum, the first person to suffer is probably Li Zhi!

Therefore, he felt that Li Zhi would definitely not let the family gain power!

Since this is the case, then what is there to doubt, I believe that Li Zhi will be finished,

Therefore, after he was poured the glass of wine by Li Zhi, he pretended to sigh helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, what Brother Xingzhi said is right, since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Brother Xingzhi!" ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the side, sat down in a chair and drank wine, looking very depressed.

Seeing this, the head of the Chen family on the side was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Gong Cao......"

"Don't ask Lonely!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao Yang's hand,

Then, I saw Cao Cao pointing at Li Zhi, who was like a drunken cat on the side, and said, "Since the virtuous brother of Xingzhi thinks that what you said is right, then this matter will be handed over to him to deal with." ”

"This ......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, all the heads of the family glanced at each other, and they all saw the inexplicability in each other's eyes,

They didn't know what tricks Cao Cao was playing, why did he get out at this critical moment and hand over everything to the drunken Li Zhi?

Isn't Cao Cao afraid that Li Zhi will give orders that harm his interests when he is drunk?

When the time comes, will Cao Cao admit it or not?

If he admits it, then Cao Cao will lose a lot, and if he doesn't admit it, then he will be suspected of backsliding!

To sum up, this order of Cao Cao is simply messing around!

At this time, even the head of the Yuan family, who had always been confident, was stunned by Cao Cao's move.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, the head of the Yuan family came to Cao Cao and asked in a low voice: "Lord, the Marquis of Luoyang is now drunk like mud, how can he replace the lord?" Or maybe the lord himself is in charge. ”

"It's okay!" Cao Cao waved his hand as if he was angry, and said, "The words of the virtuous brother represent loneliness!"

All the orders and promises he has given are as good as loneliness, so go to him when there is any matter, and you will not be too lazy to take care of you! ”
