When Cao Cao made preparations to surrender to the Jin army, whether he was willing or not, and whether he was willing or not, he had already given up his ambition to dominate the world!
He will use his last fighting strength to hit Zhao Kuangyin as much as possible!
This is definitely what Li Xiang is happy to see. The better Cao Cao does at this point, the better the treatment for those in the Cao family will be in the future!
Li Xiang is not the kind of person who has no capacity. If Cao Cao really develops in the direction Li Xiang wants, Li Xiang will definitely not mind reciprocating the favor and taking more care of Cao's family.
Furthermore, since his old Cao was forced to this extent by Zhao Kuangzi, his old Cao would always retaliate in kind. Even if he died, he couldn't make Zhao Kuangzi feel better. Even if he harms others and does not benefit himself, he, Zhao Kuangzi, must pay the price.
And the more vicious the reputation of the Cao family, the more at ease Li Zifeng will feel!
……………………
"Zhong Kang, since you left, why come back!" Glancing at Xu Chu, who was standing silently behind him, Cao Cao showed a wry smile in his stern expression, but there was inevitably a hint of emotion in the depths of his eyes.
Even a traitor like Cao Cao still has feelings, but their feelings are extremely cheap.
"Along and Feng have left with the Xu family, and the Xu family's inheritance is worry-free."
"This last journey will be the master's road!" Xu Chu said silently, shaking his head.
Unlike those counselors and famous generals, he doesn't understand so many principles! He only knew that he was Cao Cao's guard general. There was no reason why the lord was going to die here while the guard general escaped.
He promised Chu that he would not let Cao Cao be harmed in the slightest before he died in battle.
After seeing Xu Long and Xu Feng break out with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Xu Chu did not hesitate to return to Chenliu City with several members of the Xu family and continue to guard Cao Cao.
Xu Long and Xu Feng's martial arts strength is no worse than Xu Chu's. The key is that their brains are much more flexible than Xu Chu's. With these two people around, in the future, as long as they can rely on the Jin army, they may not necessarily become famous. , but it is not difficult to survive in this troubled world.
After all, although the Xu family in Qiao County is not a small family, they can directly recruit a large number of people. Cao Cao's personal guard army is formed with the Xu family as the backbone.
But although the scale is not small, the level is not much higher. They are just powerful and not close enough to the aristocratic family.
"You tiger idiot, you are really crazy..." Cao Cao pointed at Xu Chu with a look of hatred, but he was quite helpless.
Not only Xu Chu came back alone, Xu Yan also came back together.
Although generals like Tian Ji have worked hard all the way and their status is no worse than that of clan generals like Cao Ren, among all the foreign generals, Xu Chu is definitely one of the few who is truly trusted by Cao Cao, and he is also the most trusted by Cao Cao. One of the few people who is trusted.
The level of trust in Xu Chu was definitely not lower than that of Cao Ren and other clan generals.
In the novel, even after Xu Chu killed Xu You, he was simply punished. Meaningful! If it were another person, how could he let it go so lightly?
Perhaps Cao Cao did dislike Xu You at that time, but how much credit did Xu You have for Cao Cao's ability to win the Battle of Guandu and invade Jizhou? Xu You was killed like this. How much negative impact did he have to bear behind this?
If it had been anyone else, Cao Cao might have killed him long ago to quell the negative influence behind this.
Although Xu Chu, the guard general, is indeed not very high in terms of rank, who dares to think that he is higher than Xu Chu just because of this?
Under the love of the house and the crow, Cao Cao kept giving conveniences to other Xu family members overtly and covertly.
The Xu family is also one of the few people who are truly loyal to Cao Cao. This is fundamentally different from other generals with foreign surnames. Other generals with foreign surnames may have a certain degree of loyalty to Cao Cao, but they will never reach the level of die-hard loyalty.
………………………
Cao Cao had indeed made enough preparations in Chen Liuzhong. He had opened his treasury many days ago and distributed weapons to every household. He was already prepared for street battles.
During the battle between the two armies, after the city is broken, even the most disciplined army will inevitably involve those innocent people.
Most soldiers will take the opportunity to make a fortune, and most generals will turn a blind eye, as long as these soldiers do not cross the bottom line of these generals.
Which soldier doesn't fight with his head on his waistband, so what's the point of making some windfall? Those who can truly be as disciplined as the Yue Family Army can be counted on one's fingers in thousands of years of ancient history.
In TV dramas, officers and soldiers force a civilian girl during a battle, and a lot of people get into trouble afterwards, and the officer and soldier are beheaded by the general. Such an example can only happen in TV dramas!
Putting it into reality, maybe the officer and soldier killed that family after finishing the incident. Even if they didn't kill the family, the people would not dare to say anything. In which era can the people win the fight against the government?
Therefore, the people of Chenliu were destined to be persecuted by Xuzhou soldiers and horses during the battle.
Perhaps most people still dare not resist. If they can save a life, they will be robbed. But as long as they have weapons in their hands and room for resistance, there will always be a small number of people who dare to risk their lives!
Especially those who are forced to a desperate situation. In a situation where they would rather die, as long as they have a knife in their hands and the power to fight, they will not dare to risk their lives. If you are really forced to do that, anything is possible.
The most popular thing among the people is the herd mentality, or coercion. As long as a small group of people dare to resist, there will definitely be more and more Chenliu people who dare to raise knives and risk their lives.
Cao Cao wanted Zhao Kuangyin to conquer Chen Liulai, but he would only conquer a dead city, and he would have to pay a heavy price for it.
As for how many of the remaining people in the city will be left in the end, Cao Cao really doesn't care too much! I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down. This was said by Cao Cao himself.
No one knows whether other people have any psychological burden on this kind of thing, but at least Cao Cao has no psychological burden.
Moreover, relying on his familiarity with the topography of the city, Cao Cao had already secretly set up a large number of traps in the city. Many streets in the city were temporarily built into crude fortresses by Cao Cao.
