A group of people came outside the camp.
Cao Cao asked Cao Xiu to lie down, and Dian Wei carried out the execution himself.
Dian Wei did not dare to disobey the order and could only do it himself. However, when he swung the stick and brought it down, it was light and weak. So much so that when he spanked Cao Xiu, only a slight impact was heard, but it had no effect on Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu didn't even frown.
This obviously doesn't work!
How could Lu Xuan feel at ease when the news of such a punishment with a stick reached Lu Xuan's ears? How do you get other people to listen and obey?
Cao Cao was furious and ordered: "Dian Wei, haven't you had enough to eat? If you can't beat me with thirty army sticks today, I will reward you with sixty army sticks. Whatever Cao Xiu suffers, you will bear double the amount."
"Master Cao Xiu, I'm sorry."
Dian Wei stopped releasing the water, put more strength in his hands, and the stick fell with a whistling sound.
boom! !
A dull crashing sound came out.
The big stick collided with his buttocks, and the violent force impact caused Cao Xiu's buttocks to burst with pain even though Dianwei withdrew part of his strength and did not damage any bones.
ah! !
The shrill screams suddenly resounded.
Cao Xiu's body suddenly tensed up, and his face looked extremely painful.
boom! boom! !
Dian Wei kept picking up the stick and dropping it, and the sound of impact kept coming. Cao Xiu's screams continued to echo. What started as a lively movement gradually turned into a feeble scream.
boom! !
Thirty army sticks over.
Dian Wei clapped his hands, rubbed his sore shoulders, and stood aside.
With his strength, if he really wanted to defeat Cao Xiu, he would have no impact at all. However, he had to control his strength. He wanted to injure Cao Xiu, but he couldn't hurt Cao Xiu seriously, and he couldn't hurt his muscles and bones. On the contrary, he was very tired.
call! call! ! !
Cao Xiu panted heavily.
The forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the veins on the whole forehead popped out, showing great pain.
Cao Cao walked to Cao Xiu and said coldly: "Do you realize you were wrong?"
"I, I, I..."
Cao Xiu hesitated to speak, his eyes showed pain and anger, but deep in his eyes, there was still a touch of fear, because the thirty army sticks came down, making him miserable.
Cao Cao continued: "If you don't realize your mistake, I will reward you with thirty military sticks. You will be lying on the bed for the rest of your life, which is also a credit to the Cao family."
"I was wrong!"
Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and spoke dejectedly.
He drooped his head, his whole body was listless, and he had lost his fighting spirit.
"Hey, what's going on?"
A loud voice suddenly came.
Cao Cao followed the sound and saw Lu Xuan coming. His expression changed slightly, he stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Others Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia and others also saluted.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Cao Xiu's buttocks, looking at Cao Xiu's bloody buttocks, looking at Cao Xiu's painful expression, and asked again: "What's going on? Why was the beating so severe?"
Cao Xiu also saw Lu Xuan.
His heart suddenly felt extremely frightened. As soon as he was beaten, Lu Xuan came.
Obviously, Lu Xuan paid attention to them.
If he has connected people and really wants to harm Lu Xuan, I am afraid that Lu Xuan's people will come before he can take action as soon as he makes the arrangements. At this moment, Cao Xiu was frightened and at the same time, he was even more grateful.
Thank goodness I got beaten this time, otherwise it would have been bad.
Cao Xiu no longer complained about Cao Cao's treatment, he was even more afraid of Lu Xuan, and there was no other thought in his heart.
Cao Cao looked serious and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Cao Xiu was beaten this time because he had no brains and was a bastard. He was not convinced by his defeat this time and said that he lost to the king because he was plotted and because Yuan Shao was a waste and did not block the attack. , we were defeated because our rear was attacked and the morale of the army collapsed."
"I taught him a lesson. This is a battle on the battlefield."
"On the battlefield, it is never a simple fight face to face, nor is it a contest where you kill me with one knife and I kill you with one knife. It is about winning at all costs."
"This kid is so unruly and needs to be dealt with."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Cao Xiu's temperament can easily produce a rebellious mentality. Therefore, I personally deal with it to establish my authority and show my attitude to let other people take a warning."
Lu Xuan looked regretful and said, "Father-in-law, what a pity."
Cao Cao said: "What do you regret, Your Majesty?"
Lu Xuan said: "What is a pity for me is that I thought that after my father-in-law surrendered, some thorns would always come forward, which might be detrimental to me. I also thought that I would take this opportunity to straighten things out, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. .”
Cao Cao's cheeks twitched.
He glared at Cao Xiu again. This boy was a troublemaker. When it came to calculations, Lu Xuan's calculations had always been powerful. This was the case in Yanzhou back then.
Today, it's the same.
Cao Cao felt lucky, thanks to him handling Cao Xiu and nipping the problem in the bud.
Sure enough he was wise.
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am uniting my thoughts and letting everyone know that surrendering to the Kingdom of Wu is the general trend, so that everyone can work for Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I look forward to my father-in-law's surrender. I also appreciate what my father-in-law does, because he is not only capable, but he is also my father-in-law. But other people..."
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He glanced over.
For a moment, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and others all avoided looking at each other, not daring to look at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan said with murderous intent: "Whoever has evil intentions will be killed without mercy, and the three tribes will be killed. What our country of Wu needs is people who are willing to follow me and contribute to the country of Wu. They are not pretentious and self-righteous." , a person who is always accommodating to me."
Cao Xiu felt even more afraid after hearing this.
He had some regrets.
Why do you need to be the first person?
This time, Lu Xuan obviously remembered it, and Lu Xuan used it to beat him, not only him, but also other people.
Cao Cao solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am here. Anyone who has evil intentions towards Your Majesty will be dealt with by me. First of all, you must pass this test."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded, and said: "I believe in father-in-law, everyone should have a good rest. We will rest in Xingyang for a day and set off on the road tomorrow."
"Here!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The expressions on everyone's faces were a little solemn, and some even wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. Lu Xuan put too much pressure on them, because at this moment Lu Xuan was aggressive and sharp, and did not hide his murderous intention.
Cao Cao sighed in his heart.
This is Lu Xuan.
If you think that Lu Xuan is scheming, that Lu Xuan is young and easy to bully, and that Lu Xuan is a good person, you are totally wrong. Such people have long since lost their bodies, and even the grass on their graves is already three feet high.
Cao Cao asked people to carry Cao Xiu to rest, and once again asked Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Xun You, Guo Jia and others to go to Xuan Guan, so that everyone could avoid any thoughts.
With this arrangement, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
One day later, Lu Xuan took all the troops and set off towards Luoyang.
