Guan Yu led his troops to rescue Zhang Fei and others, and the potters hurriedly ordered Huang Zhong and his generals to pretend to chase after them for a while, and only returned to the potter's side after Guan, Zhang and other generals disappeared from view.

At this moment, the war in Nanzheng City began to gradually come to an end.

The Jinling army has begun to regain the initiative, with Xu Rong, Liyi, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang He and other famous generals led by the Jinling army, after a passive defense, finally regained the initiative, the Jinling army bravely forward, Li Ke Cao Liu coalition army, the enemy army back to the Jiange Road.

But the Jinling army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, after all, in the current situation, for the Jinling soldiers who were attacked at night, their losses were relatively large, although they drove out the Cao Liu coalition army, but if they were forcibly pursued at the moment, the losses to their own side would never be less.

Especially for the potter who had already installed eyeliner in the Sword Pavilion, he didn't want to do anything that drained his strength.

In this way, the chaotic night of fighting began to end with the withdrawal of troops from both sides.

The potters returned to Nanzheng and ordered the officers and men of the three armies to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

And he himself summoned the generals led by Xu Rong to learn about the battle and situation last night.

After listening to the overall report of the generals, the potter's heart fell.

In general, there are losses on your side, but the losses are definitely not that large.

"Humph!" Ji Ling snorted heavily and said, "These cunning thieves hide in the ravine and don't come out, and as soon as they come out, they will use some tricks, which is really hateful!" ”

Xu Huang sighed: "But the other party's strategy is also good, when the officers and soldiers of our three armies are all preparing to attack the Sword Pavilion, no one would have thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would actually take the initiative to attack, these two people are really powerful." ”

The pottery merchant said lightly: "Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei are powerful, they may not have this brain, they must still have a master under their command." ”

Guo Jia said on the side: "If there is no accident, maybe it is Jia Xu...... If it weren't for the strength of our army, which was several times stronger than Cao Liu, this move would be enough to kill our army! ”

The potter smiled faintly and said: "Poison is poison, it's true, but this time I also set up a plan, and they can be regarded as fulfilling me in this move, otherwise I really can't send Cao Pi in naturally." ”

Guo Jia seemed to be a little worried, he said: "The problem is, even if Cao Pi is sent in, it may not be able to achieve our ideas, but I am not worried about anything else, with Jia Xu's eyesight, he may not be able to see the doorway in this." ”

Guo Jia's words are very reasonable, but the potter also knows that it can't be explained, and the rest has to be fate.

……

And at this moment, in the Sword Pavilion Pass, everyone is judging Cao Pi's fate.

"Rebel, kneel!"

Cao Cao yelled at Cao Pi coldly.

Cao Pi lowered his head, didn't say a word, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Cao Cao's hands were clenched into a full fist, his bones and joints turned white, and the entire fist was almost shattered by him.

After a while, he saw Cao Cao stand up, pull out the sword at his waist, and then walk in front of Cao Pi, raise his hand and make a gesture to slash.

Cao Zhang clenched his teeth, and suddenly stepped forward and blocked Cao Pi's face.

"Father's anger, two...... Although Cao Pi was guilty, but this time in the enemy camp, he also sacrificed his life to save the child, no matter what, it can be regarded as a repentance, and asked his father to spare his life in front of the child. ”

Cao Pi's face changed, and he said: "Third brother, don't intercede for me, I did something wrong, and my crime should be punished, let my father kill me, if I die, at least I can go down to Jiuquan to make amends to the fourth brother." ”

Cao Cao nodded quietly and said, "Even if you look like a man, you can say something that only a man should say, okay, then I will fulfill you!" ”

Just when Cao Cao was about to pick up Cao Zhang and slash Cao Pi, Zhang Fei stood up.

"Cao Sikong, I am an outsider, this time I was captured in Cao Ying, Ling Lang's performance in the enemy camp, my old Zhang can be regarded as a rough seven or eight looks, no matter what, Ling Lang was originally guilty, but this time, no matter what his purpose, he was able to secretly release the third son, it shows that he has repented, and the tiger poison does not eat the child, please Cao Gong don't do this, give Cao Ergongzi a chance."

Zhang Fei spoke and pleaded, naturally much stronger than Cao Zhang and others, and Cao Cao began to hesitate at the moment.

In fact, to put it in conscience, although Cao Pi did something rebellious, he was Cao Cao's son after all, and Cao Cao was, to a certain extent, a loving and righteous person, so from a personal point of view, he didn't want to kill Cao Pi.

But as the commander of the first army, in order to appease the three armies and block people's conversations, Cao Cao sometimes had to do this, and sometimes there were things to do for the world to see.

But if there are steps down, Cao Cao is naturally willing to go down this step.

After all, that's his son.

Cao Cao stared at this rebel quietly, and his heart was flooded.

Seeing Zhang Fei speak, Liu Bei also stood up to intercede for Cao Pi.

"Brother Meng De, no one is a sage or a sage, although the second son has made a big mistake, but through the words of the third son and my third brother, it can be seen that he has repented, after all, he is his own son, family law and military law should not be confused, please also Brother Meng De think twice."

Liu Bei's words finally gave Cao Cao enough face, and he slowly put down the sword in his hand.

At this time, Cao Ang also stood up and said, "Father, since the second brother has repentance, let him make meritorious contributions." ”

Cao Cao looked back and forth at everyone, and saw that everyone had no objections, so he sighed and said: "Since there is Xuande Gong interceding, it doesn't matter, for Xuande's sake, Cao will spare this rebel once." ”

When Cao Pi heard this, a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and if he said a word of conscience, his heart had already jumped to his throat, for fear that one would accidentally jump out of his mouth.

He clasped his head towards Cao Cao and said tremblingly, "Thank you, father." ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Ang and said, "This rebel will be handed over to you, before the end of the war, you will be responsible for taking care of him, and you can't give birth to a business trip pool, understand?" ”

Cao Ang arched his hand and said, "No." ”

……

Cao Pi picked up a life in front of Cao Cao, then lowered his head and cautiously followed Cao Ang out.

Coming to the outside of the handsome tent, Cao Ang reached out and patted Cao Pi's shoulder, and sighed: "Second brother, you said you, how could you do that kind of thing at the beginning?" Anyway, this time you saved the third brother and got out of the mud road, otherwise if your father really killed you today, how should I protect you as a brother? ”

Cao Pi looked at Cao Ang with shame: "Thank you eldest brother for preserving, ashamed of my younger brother." ”

At this time, an old man walked behind Cao Pi, he looked at Cao Pi quietly, the corners of his mouth twitched faintly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed.

This old man is none other than Jia Xu.
