Chapter 1241

Not only did Bai Xiaowen turn around, but even Xun Yu was curious.

Xun Yu has a strong ability to observe words and expressions. From Bai Xiaowen's look, he can see that it is not like hypocrisy, that is to say, the fire of Xu Du was not released by Youzhou army.

Besides, Bai Xiaowen has no reason to do so.

So Xun Yu himself didn't order the fire. Who did it?

The men who were escorted up were more than a dozen men in servant clothes, all looking frightened.

"Where is the fire?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

A Youzhou soldier replied, "it's said that huichilde is Xu Du's granary."

"Oh?" Bai Xiaowen stared at the dozen servants. "Who ordered you to burn the granary?"

More than a dozen servants cowered, but they all bowed their heads and didn't say anything.

"Hum, even if you don't say it, I can find out!" Bai Xiaowen snapped, "cut these people off for me."

Xu Du was first broken. It was time to kill and establish authority. He made people fear with heavy codes. Otherwise, the interior is unstable. Even if Bai Xiaowen has 20000 soldiers, he may not be able to hold Xu Du for 12 hours - this is the requirement of the heroic branch line mission.

However, at the end of the team, a child with the back of his neck carried by a soldier struggled to jump out: "I asked him to set the fire!"

The child's clothes are luxurious and inlaid with gold and jade. At first glance, he is not the child of an ordinary family.

Bai Xiaowen didn't even have to lose his insight. He knew who the child was. However, he still wanted to say, "whose boy are you? Don't make trouble here!"

The child was not afraid and shouted, "my father is Prime Minister Cao, I am Cao Chong! I ordered to burn down the granary. Don't be angry with others!"

"Cao Cao's fifth son..." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "It's interesting. Why do you want to burn the granary? It's your own food."

Cao Chong said:

"You seem to have a large number of people, but in fact you are just an isolated army, and you must not carry much food when you attack lightly. When I hear the news of the fall of Xu Du in two counties, four countries and 97 cities of Yuzhou, the division of King Qin will come to help!

"If you leave a granary for you, you can rely on the strong city of Xudu to defend. If you burn grain and grass, you will abandon the city and flee. Then you will become a bird in a cage and can't fly!"

Now all the troops in the four areas of Yuzhou are moved by the wind. Xu Dushen is in the enemy's territory. If Bai Xiaowen leads 20000 Youzhou troops to abandon the city and flee, he is likely to be stopped by Yuzhou soldiers and horses and even the returning Guandu Cao army. However, if he wants to defend the city, he has no food and grass support.

Cao Chong's metaphor of birds in cages is very appropriate.

"Little childe, be careful!" lest Bai Xiaowen be angry, Xun Yu killed Cao Chong, waved his hand and shook his head.

Bai Xiaowen laughed: "Ling Jun Xun underestimated Yuan Xi. A great husband was born in the world. He should establish himself with benevolence and faith, educate himself with righteousness and reason, settle the country with strategy and martial arts. How can he be afraid to kill children because of their special qualifications?"

Xun Yu's face eased.

Bai Xiaowen looked at Cao Chong and appreciated it. "It's really rare to have this insight at a young age. It's a pity that he is smart and exposed like a peacock, but he doesn't know how to show off his feathers and get jealous. It's a way to die. It's better than your brother. He looks mediocre and actually bears it."

Cao Pi looked frightened and his head dropped lower.

Bai Xiaowen came to Cao Pi. Seeing a woman in qiluo standing behind Cao Pi, he asked, "who is this?"

Cao Pi bowed his head and said, "this is... This is my Jing Ren family." (note)

Bai Xiaowen sighed that in the romance, Yuan Xi's wife Zhen MI was captured by Cao Pi. The current situation has reversed.

However, Bai Xiaowen's emotion is just a read. He will not have a bad interest because of it. He has to take Ren from Cao Pi.

On the one hand, in the presence of Xun Yu and many scholars in the prime minister's house, Bai Xiaowen must be upright and his reputation cannot be destroyed. Only in this way can he become the leader of power and gather talents.

Second... Ren's looks really average. Compared with Zhen MI, it's like bran and distiller's grains are better than wine.

Soon, another winged cavalry reported that general Bai Sanniang (Cecilia) had killed Cao Jun's bodyguard of the Imperial Palace and occupied the imperial palace. Please go to meet the emperor as soon as possible.

Xun Yu's eyes looked over.

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "I'll go to see the emperor now. As for here... Tie up all the four sons of Cao thief and take them away!"

Xun Yu hurriedly said, "childe, it's a benevolent way for the two armies to fight and not hurt their families. Besides, childe has promised not to hurt childe Cao Chong's life."

Xun Yu is telling the truth. After breaking the city, the Ming Lord of the Three Kingdoms period generally treated the enemy's family members well - the so-called "stay on the front line and meet each other in the future". For example, Lv Bu attacked Xuzhou and specially assigned someone to protect Liu Bei's family members.

Under what circumstances do you not need to leave a line? When the other party hangs up and the forces under his command fall and the monkeys scatter, you can naturally dispose of it at will without worrying about tearing your face.

Now Cao Cao still has a strong Guandu army, and it is far from the time when the tree falls. It's no harm to be nice to his family. You can also earn a good reputation.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "what Xun Lingjun said is true. Although Cao Cao is a Han thief, I will not disturb his family. I will also send someone to guard the prime minister's house and prevent soldiers from entering. However, his four sons can't be regarded as equal. I need to take them with me to rest assured."

Xun Yu was silent. Bai Xiaowen was right. Cao Cao's four sons were not easy. Even the youngest Cao Chong had the wisdom to burn the granary and break the road of Youzhou army. Of course, none of them could be released.

Bai Xiaowen said again, "I'm going to see the son of heaven now. Please sit here and don't walk around. It's a pity if I'm misunderstood and escaped by my sergeants and blood splashed five steps."

Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered two elite school captains to lead 500 episodes under his command to guard the people present, and strictly ordered: "if anyone escapes, he will be killed immediately."

After arranging everything, Bai Xiaowen took the rest of his soldiers and escorted Cao Pi and other four people to leave the prime minister's house.

However, Bai Xiaowen did not rush to the palace for the first time, but led the army to continue to clean up the remaining areas of Xudu, focusing on restricting military discipline.

The old and weak soldiers left behind in Xudu are bound with iron chains, and they can avoid death temporarily. As for those who stubbornly resist, of course, they are shot to death.

Before long, Xudu's roadway war came to an end. Twenty thousand troops from Youzhou occupied the main streets of Xudu. Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries closed their doors for fear of military disaster, destroying their homes and families.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen can't let soldiers plunder. It should be noted that allowing soldiers to plunder destroys the homes of Xudu officials and the reputation of yuan family, which will only make Cao Cao happy.

After the situation stabilized, Bai Xiaowen strictly applied for military discipline, and then rushed all the way to the palace.
