Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 76 Su Chen's ingenious plan, Cao Cao is shocked

But he had not finished yet.

It was interrupted directly by Cao Cao.

"What's the matter, Tiger Maniac? You don't want me to let Cai Mao live for Mr. Su's sake, do you?"

Cao Cao was furious.

This time, even if Su Chen pleaded with him in person, he would definitely not change his mind.

Because Cao Cao is such a person.

I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me.

These are not just words.

Speaking out now, these words directly blocked Xu Chu's way to beg for mercy.

Hear this.

Cai Mao, who had just felt a little hope in his heart, immediately felt disheartened. He wanted to say more, but his mouth was blocked with a rag by his personal soldiers and he was taken out directly.

On the contrary, Xu Chu's expression did not change much from beginning to end.

When he spoke again, he did not plead for Cai Mao, but just reminded him.

"of course not."

"I just thought of the tips Mr. Su gave me before."

"Didn't Mr. Su say before that we can only open it after Jiang Gan comes back? Isn't this the perfect time?"

"what?"

Cao Cao, who was just furious, was stunned when he heard the news.

Only then did he remember the time not long ago when he asked Su Chen for advice.

The other party had a strange expression on his face, and solemnly handed the treasure bag to him.

A bold idea suddenly arose in Cao Cao's mind.

Could it be that... Mr. Su, from the day Jiang Gan just went on a diplomatic mission to Jiangdong, he had already anticipated all this happening? ?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

But he turned around and immediately ordered the guards to go to his study and bring over the wooden box on top.

He placed the brocade bag in the wooden box.

At the beginning, he was naturally full of curiosity about the contents written in the brocade bag.

But later on, to be honest, as he became busy with official duties, he forgot about this matter. When he occasionally thought of it, he just thought it was a joke Su Chen played on him.

I didn't take this place seriously at all.

Soon, the wooden box was brought to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao reached out to take it and finally opened the brocade bag.

There are two lines of small words densely written on the top.

There are not many words.

However, when Cao Cao glanced over, his expression changed drastically.

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible. How can anyone predict the future to such an extent..."

As he screamed, his body shook and he almost fell to the ground.

"Prime Minister, how are you, Prime Minister..."

When the generals around saw this, they were thrown into chaos.

"What's wrong, my lord? What is written in Mr. Su's brocade bag?"

Xu Chu also became anxious when he saw this.

As he stepped forward to support him, he became even more curious about the contents of the golden bag.

The bull's eyes widened.

Just about to take a closer look.

But before he could get close, Cao Cao realized something.

He opened his mouth immediately and gave instructions.

"Quick! Tiger Chi, go stop the guards!"

"We must rescue Cai Mao and Zhang Yun from the assassins!"

As soon as these words came out.

Even without reading the note, Xu Chu could guess what was said.

He shouted loudly, and spared his life!
He immediately turned around and rushed out of the government office.

……

Watch him leave.

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and immediately began to pace anxiously in the government office.

Jiang Gan, who had just been excited, watched from the side and didn't dare to breathe.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

Tiger Maniac has already turned back.

"How is it? Did you save Cai Mao and the other two?"

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao hurried over and asked.

Hu Chi nodded, but his expression was a little hesitant, "I saved him, but..."

Cao Cao was anxious, "If we can save him, then we can save him. If we can't save him, then we can't save him. Is there any but in this matter?" Hu Chi knelt on the ground, took a breath, and calmed down a little before replying.

"My Lord, when I arrived, Zhang Yun had already been beheaded. So I was able to save only Cai Mao, but not Zhang Yun... He died anyway."

"Zhang Yun... Zhang Yun..."

"What a good young man Zhou Lang! One day, when I enter Jiangdong, I will kill this villain with my own hands!"

"You actually used such a sinister method to cause me to lose such a great general!"

Although Cao Cao had already been mentally prepared for this.

But this time I really heard Xu Chu say this.

My whole body trembled subconsciously.

At this moment, he pounded the table angrily, his expression showing gnashing of teeth.

Jiang Gan next to him was also frightened.

"Prime Minister, this is all my fault!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I was so confused and fell for the scheme of the traitor Zhou Gongjin, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

"I will not refuse death, and I beg the Prime Minister to punish me!!"

As Jiang Gan spoke, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

When Cao Cao saw this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

But thinking that ignorance is not a crime, and that the other party was truly willing to sacrifice himself for his own good, he managed to steal the book and return home.

How can we really blame the other party for this incident?

So I was very angry at the moment.

But it's hard to say much on the surface.

He could only wave his hands as if he was chasing away a fly, trying to get Jiang Gan to go away. He felt annoyed if he looked at him for even a second.

Jiang Gan also knew that he had made a big mistake on this trip.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't blame him, he felt very lucky and didn't dare to ask for anything else.

He immediately rushed out of the government office as if he had been pardoned.

He even forgot to take the cloak that came with him.

"Ugh……"

"Not good enough to accomplish anything, but always bad enough. Is this what you call a great talent famous throughout Jianghuai? Yet, he was played around by that kid Zhou Lang."

Look at the way he behaves.

Then think of Jiang Gan’s past reputation.

Cao Cao shook his head again.

Xu Chu looked at it and finally comforted him, "My lord, there is no need to be like this. We should look at the bright side of things. We still have Cai Mao."

"Yes, fortunately there is Cai Mao, otherwise this time, it would really be dangerous."

Cao Cao looked up.

But that’s not the time to express any more emotion.

There were already footsteps being heard outside the door.

It is obvious that whether it was the sudden attempt to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, or Xu Chu's subsequent rescue behavior.

The noise was really too loud.

This alarmed the accompanying civil and military officials, who all came over to pay their respects.

Mao Jie and others came up and clasped their fists, then asked him with confusion.

"Prime Minister, why did you capture Generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and then kill Zhang Yun?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his old face turned red.

Boss Cao is also a person who cares a lot about his reputation.

Naturally, he was unwilling to admit that he had fallen into someone else's trap.

He snorted coldly on the spot and spoke stubbornly.

"Humph, the two of them led the surrendered generals of Jingzhou, but they insisted on neglecting the art of war, especially Zhang Yun. In order to maintain strict military discipline, I really had no choice but to do so."

"Ah, this..."

This reason is too versatile.

But people just can't find any reason to refute it.

At this moment, when they looked at each other, their expressions showed a bit of helplessness.

After a moment's silence, Mao Jie spoke again, asking him again with a depressed look.

"But Prime Minister, now is the time to train the navy. We need more people. Execute Zhang Yun and capture Cai Mao. The navy..."

But this time he spoke without waiting for Cao Cao to reply.

Jia Xu had already spoken and took over the conversation.

"Why are you panicking? The Prime Minister has only captured Cai Mao, not that he must be executed."

"Prime Minister, I think the execution of Zhang Yun has served as a warning to others. We might as well give Cai Mao another chance and let him make amends for his crime. What do you think?"
