The book is followed last time.

"!!!" Everyone present changed their faces after hearing Cao Cao's words.

They didn't expect Cao Cao to bring up this matter. Now, they really can't refute Cao Cao.

Because if they really count, their trip was indeed a big loss.

Not only did they fail to cause much damage to the enemy, but instead added thousands of additional people to the enemy in vain, and these people were all young and strong!

In this regard, they not only did not achieve the purpose of deterring the enemy, but instead achieved the purpose of seducing the enemy!

In other words, although they sound nice, they did not complete the task!

In this way, Cao Cao no longer needed the promise he had made.

After thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to the head of the Chen family, with a sense of blame in their eyes.

If the head of the Chen family had not had to exchange more than 10,000 troops for the counterfeit, they would not have been taken by Cao Cao.

The head of the Chen family felt a little numb when he was looking at him by everyone.

He was interested in the position of the leader of the aristocratic family. Now Cao Cao used him as a reason to shirk his reward, which was equivalent to directly cutting off his path to the leader of the aristocratic family. This is something that the head of the Chen family would never tolerate!

So, he immediately stood up, saluted respectfully to Cao Cao, and said, "Your Majesty is such a bad thing!

No matter what the outcome of the battle is, as long as the princes know that Cao Gong is willing to suffer both defeats, they will not dare to continue to harass Cao Gong's rule!

So, although on the surface, we did lose a lot, but the goal of ours has achieved it!”

"..." Cao Cao had nothing to say after hearing the words of the head of the Chen family.

He didn't expect that when everyone in the aristocratic family did not react, the head of the Chen family actually reacted.

That's right, Cao Cao was just making a sophistry!

The truth is just as the head of the Chen family said. When the princes knew that Cao Cao was in a desperate situation, they did not dare to take the risk of harassing Cao Cao's subordinates.

All the princes knew that Zhang Yan could take advantage this time was just a lucky chance.

The enemies he encountered were just a mob under the aristocratic family, so he could take advantage of it.

If he faced the elite in Cao Cao's hands, Zhang Yan would definitely be seriously injured!

Therefore, the princes knew that the moment they sent troops from the aristocratic families, if they continued to gain a stubbornness, Cao Cao would definitely lose both sides without hesitation!

In this way, the princes of course did not dare to continue to take action.

In other words, the moment the families sent troops, they completed their mission!

In fact, this task is simple and difficult.

The simplest thing is that you can complete the mission as long as you are willing to send troops.

The difficulty lies in the fact that as long as they send troops, they will be criticized!

Over the years, the cruelty of the aristocratic families has gradually spread throughout the world, because of the aristocratic families' dispatch of troops this time.

This mission is a task of using his reputation to exchange for official positions, and now the aristocratic family has become infamous, which means that they have completed their mission. In this way, Cao Cao should fulfill his promise.

But Cao Cao didn't want to do this. He had no intention of fulfilling his promise from the beginning!

But now, he was forced into the corner by everyone!

If he can't give a reasonable excuse, although the heads of these aristocratic families cannot do anything to him, they can ruin his reputation and let everyone in the world know that he is a person who goes against his word. Who is willing to serve him at that time?

Just when Cao Cao was in a state of uncertainty, Li Zhi, who had been in the team, suddenly spoke, "Meng...What are Brother Meng De standing there? You can't come and drink with him?"

"Huh?" Cao Cao, who was in a dilemma, had a lit eye after hearing Li Zhidi's words.

He knew that since Li Zhi had spoken, it proved that Li Zhi had a way to relieve his predicament!

So, he pretended to smile bitterly, came to Li Zhi's side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Xingzhi, Brother Hui is dealing with business now. You can wait a moment, and then drink with you later, how about it?"

"Director...handle official business?" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi asked with a drunk look on his face: "What...what...business? Tell me...here you."

Although Cao Cao didn't know why Li Zhi asked this more even though he heard it, he still said what happened just now.

After saying that, he asked Li Zhi with great hope: "What should I do if my brother Xingzhi thinks it is my brother?"

"Himmer..." Li Zhi pretended to burp, then burped Cao Cao on the shoulder and said unhappily: "Brother Meng De, this is your wrong thing. Since you had agreed to this matter at the beginning, why did you go back on your word at this time?

Other families have already brought shame to you, how can you not keep your promise to give them official positions?”

"..." After Li Zhi finished speaking, the streets in the entire hall were quiet.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Li Zhihui suddenly spoke to those people from the aristocratic families and was stunned for a moment.

The members of the aristocratic family were also stunned by this at this time, and they couldn't understand why Li Zhi suddenly spoke to them.

But no matter whether Li Zhi intended this or said drunkenly, the aristocratic family would not miss this good opportunity.

"The Marquis of Luoyang is such a good word!" After the head of the Chen family came to his senses, he immediately followed Li Zhidi's words and said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao, you see that all the wise and wise generals like the cavalry general say this, what else do you have to hesitate about?

I also asked Cao Gong to keep his promise and put what he had promised to reality."

"..." Cao Cao seemed to have not heard the words of the head of the Chen family, staring at Li Zhi with a dazed look in a daze.

He now doubted whether Li Zhi was really drunk, otherwise why would he say such nonsense?

Before this, weren’t they discussing to delay time in sophistry, and then attack the aristocratic family when they are sure that the other princes really don’t plan to continue disturbing the realm?

Why is Li Zhi suddenly speaking for the aristocratic family now?

Just as Cao Cao was stunned, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and blinked at Cao Cao at an angle that others could not see.

Then, he returned to his drunken cat look and said, "Why is Brother Meng De not speaking?"

"..." Cao Cao also saw Li Zhi blinking at him, but he was not sure whether Li Zhi was drunk and joked with him or was really suggesting him.

So he tentatively said, "Brother Xingzhi, you are drunk!"

"Drunk? I'm not drunk!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi picked up a cup of wine as if he was very dissatisfied, and put it on Cao Cao's neck and poured it hard.

Li Zhi said while drinking: "Brother Meng De, don't you know how much you drink? He actually said he was drunk? It's a big mistake in the world. You should be punished with a glass of wine!"

While drinking, Li Zhi held Cao Cao's neck and slapped Cao Cao's shoulder twice with his right hand, and even whispered in Cao Cao's ear, "Go with the flow, I have my own plans."

After saying that, he poured the wine in his hand into Cao Cao's mouth with all his strength.

After being forced to drink a glass of wine, Cao Cao was not only not angry, but instead had a smile in his eyes.

Because he is sure now that Li Zhi is not drunk!

Since Li Zhi was not drunk, his actions must be for his own good.

So Cao Cao made up his mind and agreed no matter what Li Zhi said!

If it were someone else, Cao Cao wouldn't have trusted him so much.

But if it were Li Zhi, then Cao Cao wouldn't care.

There are two reasons why Cao Cao trusted Li Zhidi:

First, Cao Cao believed that Li Zhi would never harm him, especially when facing aristocratic family.

Second, Li Zhi and the aristocratic family are a mortal enemy. Even if Li Zhi defected to the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family would not let Li Zhi go!

Therefore, once the aristocratic family gains power, the first one who suffers may be Li Zhi!

Therefore, he felt that Li Zhi would never let the aristocratic family take power!

Since that's the case, what else can I doubt? I believe Li Zhi will be done.

So, after Li Zhi had the glass of wine, he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Xingzhi is right. Since that's the case, then leave this matter to Brother Xingzhi!"

After saying that, he pretended to be disappointed and walked aside, sat on the chair and drank wine, looking very depressed.

Seeing this, the head of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and hesitated and said, "Mr. Cao..."

"Don't ask me!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao and Yang's hand.

Then, Cao Cao pointed to Li Zhi, who was like a drunk cat, and said, "Since Xingzhi thinks you are right, then leave this matter to him."

"This..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, the heads of the family looked at each other and all saw the inexplicable in each other's eyes.

They didn't know what tricks Cao Cao was playing, why did he get out at this critical moment and hand over everything to the drunken Li Zhi?

Wasn't Cao Cao afraid that Li Zhi would issue orders to harm his interests while drunk?

At that time, will Cao Cao recognize it or not?

If you admit it, Cao Cao will suffer a lot. If you don’t admit it, you will be suspected of going back on your word!

To sum up, Cao Cao's order is simply a mess!

At this time, even the head of the Yuan family, who had always been confident, was stunned by Cao Cao's actions.

So, after thinking for a while, the head of the Yuan family came to Cao Cao and asked in a low voice: "Lord, the Marquis of Luoyang is now drunk, how can he replace the lord? Otherwise, the lord will take charge of the matter in person."

"It's okay!" Cao Cao waved his hand as if he was angry and said, "The words of Brother Xing represent the orphanage!
