"It doesn't matter?"
Liu Zhang chuckled, but everyone knew that this smile was definitely not his intention.
"Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi rebelled. You and Gu said that you have nothing to do with the Cao family?"
"Then tell me, are these three people named Cao? Are they from the Cao family? Are they the sons of Cao Cao?"
"I..."
Cao Chong was speechless. How could he refute these irrefutable facts?
Even if you have the talent of sophistry, it is difficult to reverse these things that everyone in the world knows.
Feeling Liu Zhang's pressure getting stronger and stronger, Cao Chong's pressure doubled, and his back was completely soaked with sweat.
One mistake and the Cao family is really doomed.
"The King of Han and Cao Pi do not represent the Cao family. For example, I just surrendered and let the King of Han do what he wanted!"
"This represents the Cao family's surrender to the King of Han!"
Liu Zhang shook his head and refuted Cao Chong's words without mercy.
"Whether I can represent it or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it's what I say."
"In Gu's eyes, the Cao family is a whole. You, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, even Cao Xiong, etc., are all one."
"Haven't you heard the law of the Han Dynasty? If one person rebels, nine tribes will be implicated! What's more, Cao Pi has three people?"
"Previously, due to the friendship between Zaigu and Mengde, I asked Tian'an to forgive you Cao family. In what name do you ask Gu to forgive you today?"
Liu Zhang looked down at Cao Chong, his expression getting colder and colder.
"Cao Chong, you are also a smart man, you can even weigh an elephant."
"It is said that smart people care about their own face. Can you really ignore your face?"
Cao Chong's cheeks twitched in embarrassment, and he felt really bad.
This is asking him if he is still shameless.
But at a time of life and death, and even the life and death of the entire Cao family, how could he care so much?
"King of Han, what does an individual mean in front of the family? Cao Chong shamelessly begged the King of Han again!"
"The release of Cao Pi and the three others was done by the next person and has nothing to do with the Cao family! They are thousands of miles away, and the Cao family has no idea about the inside story. All of this has nothing to do with the Cao family."
"Please also ask the King of Han to remember my late father's kindness and show mercy again."
Liu Zhang looked directly at Cao Chong, who looked pleading, his coldness not softening at all.
"How can you show mercy to Rang Gu?"
Cao Chong struggled with his eyes and hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind.
"Everyone is responsible for his work. Even if the King of Han wants to kill or chop him into pieces, I will never complain."
"It's just that Cao is really innocent, so please don't get involved, King Han."
Liu Zhang did not speak, and there was no sign of any psychological fluctuations.
The whole room became cold.
Tian Yu stood aside silently, not even daring to breathe.
The pressure in this room is really too strong.
A single thought can determine the life or death of the once most powerful family in the world.
This extreme right does not make Tian Yu envious, but deeply fearful.
After finally getting forgiveness and easing the relationship, how could we be acquitted for an unrelated Cao Chong?
Tian Yu slowly moved back, trying his best to disappear from everyone's sight.
If he could, he really wanted to leave.
Get away from this place of right and wrong quickly.
The only thing that comforted Tian Yu was that luckily no one paid attention to him.
This is the first time I feel the benefit of not having a presence.
"Cao Chong, I really admire your intelligence, but you deliberately let Cao Pi and the others go, which is full of sin!"
"Down here...hey..."
Facing Xun You's rebuke, Cao Chong was somewhat unable to refute.
It's not that I have no words, but that I have no choice.
Full of sin, what vicious words?
How much sin must one commit to get this title?
Cao Chong really didn't feel that he was so guilty.
"Master Xun, I just let three people go. They have no soldiers, no generals, and three people who are unarmed."
"Does Mr. Xun think that three people can change anything in this troubled world?"
"Especially when facing...the wise and powerful King of Han!"
Xun You was unmoved and his eyes were extremely disdainful.
"The three of them are mediocre and ordinary people. It is wishful thinking to make waves!"
"That..."
Just as Cao Chong was about to refute, Xun You interrupted him first.
"But they can wave the water, fight to the death, and cause unnecessary casualties."
"The King of Han is benevolent, loves his people like a son, and is considerate of the soldiers and civilians of the world. Liaodong, which could have been surrendered, will inevitably do some senseless and stupid things because Cao Pi and the others go there."
"It would be easy for the Han army to defeat them, but after all, we are all Han people. How can the King of Han be patient?"
"These senseless casualties were all caused by you. Tell me, are you full of sins?"
As expected of a sophist, his words left Cao Chong speechless.
Looking at it this way, isn’t it full of evil?
In a battle with an army of 50,000, it is still 50,000 cavalry. Even if no one on your own side dies, the enemy's 50,000 will die.
One side will always lose soldiers, and the losses will be huge.
On the contrary, if Cao Pi and the others were not there, Gongsun Kang might have surrendered directly.
After a while, Cao Chong lamented.
"What Mr. Xun said is absolutely true. Your sins are indeed serious."
"But the matter has come to this, and it is useless for me to regret. Even if I am cut into pieces with a thousand swords, I will not complain. I just ask...please the King of Han be merciful to the Cao family..."
Cao Chong really didn't care about his own safety.
It can even be said that he is willing to risk his life.
The worst possible outcome is death.
If he could exchange his life for the life of the entire Cao family, it would be worth it.
"Although the mistake you committed was extremely serious, your filial piety moved me so much."
Finally, Liu Zhang's expression softened a little.
Instead, it also became milder.
Cao Chong's eyes widened and his spirit was high.
He was already in despair, but Liu Zhang gave him hope again.
"Thank you, King Han..."
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
Liu Zhang stopped Cao Chong with a sneer on his lips.
"Haha, it's not that simple to keep the Cao family."
"For your sake, I will give you a chance."
"Dispose of the three of Cao Pi and make up for your own mistakes."
Just as Cao Chong was about to speak, Liu Zhang interrupted him again.
"I won't give you a single soldier, nor will I let you leave Nanpi."
"If you have a way, then I will forgive Mr. Cao."
