Cao Peng was still kneeling in the government hall, his legs had no feeling.

I'm afraid I've gone too far this time! I wonder if Lao Cao will be angry? Or will he have an opinion on me because of this matter?

Cao Peng felt a little uneasy.

He never thought of himself as a great person.

But that day at the head of Baima City, looking at the bloody heads, made him feel a lot of emotions.

By a strange combination of circumstances, he was reborn in this era, which was also the most glorious era for the Han people. The prosperous Tang Dynasty? In Cao Peng's heart, it may be considered great and glorious, but for some reason, he was always a little alienated. The ethnic group marked on his ID card in his previous life was Han.

!So it also made him feel closer to the Han people. He really didn’t want the Han people to go through that shitty era of ‘national integration’ again.

Of course, he also knew that his power could not change anything.

But he still hopes to do something to allow the Han people to survive longer in this turbulent Three Kingdoms era.

Being able to save 30,000 jujubes today...even if there are only 10,000 people, it is a victory. Maybe I can't change anything, but I can't just watch history and move towards its original trajectory! Suddenly I feel that I am narrow-minded.

, seems paranoid...

But so what?

If you are narrow-minded, you are narrow-minded, and if you are bigoted, you are bigoted!

Cao Peng took a deep breath, straightened his waist again, and puffed out his chest.

"Afu, let's go, it's useless for you to kneel like this."

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Peng helplessly and persuaded softly. Although he also knew that his persuasion was useless, he could not ignore it.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why Cao Peng, who was usually very talkative, was so stubborn today.

But Cao Peng couldn't tell the reason.

Could it be that Cao Zhen is told that I have traveled through time from later generations and that in a hundred years, there will be no Han people left in ten?

If he really said this, then Cao Zhen might regard him as a madman and directly draw his sword and kill him in this small government hall.

It's already time!

It was pitch dark outside the government office, and the lights in the government office were extinguished.

Cao Zhen sat next to Cao Peng, still persuading in a low voice. There was a sound of footsteps, and Cao Zhen raised his head and looked outside the Yamen.

Xun You held a lantern and slowly approached the government hall.

"Zidan, please go back first."

"Mr. Xun..."

"I have something to tell Ah Fu. You go back and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Hearing Xun You's tone, Cao Zhen immediately came to his senses.

I'm afraid Xun You came here because he was entrusted by Cao Peng. As for what he wanted to say to Cao Peng? Cao Zhen didn't dare to guess! He stood up, bowed his hands to Xun You, then looked at Cao Peng, and silently left the office.

When he walked out of the Yamen Hall, he saw Dianman Xu Yi and his people standing guard thirty steps away from the Yamen Hall. Cao Zhen was startled, then seemed to think of something, turned around and looked into the Yamen Hall in surprise...

Xun You lit the candle, and the light returned to the yamen hall.

He picked up a futon and placed it in front of Cao Peng, then sat down and looked Cao Peng up and down without saying a word.

That gaze was very sharp, like a sharp sword, penetrating Cao Peng's body.

Cao Peng looked at Xun You in astonishment, not quite sure what Xun You meant.

"Afu, why are you so stubborn?"

Hearing Xun You's name, Cao Peng was stunned again...

In his impression, he was not very familiar with Xun You, he had only met him three or four times, and the total number of words he had spoken to Xun You did not exceed ten sentences.

An extremely affectionate title like 'Ah Fu' had never come out of Xun You's mouth.

Maybe it's because he is not familiar with Cao Peng?

Therefore, all the time, Xun You either called Cao Peng by his name or by his official position, and even Cao Peng's nickname was rarely uttered.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "A man has his own things to do and things he shouldn't do."

Xun You laughed!

"Then do you think it's okay to retreat with the whole city?"

"this?"

"Actually, you also know the dangers of doing this, but you still insist on it. I don't understand why you insist on it. I guess it's your reason... I don't want to know the reason. I'm sitting here now, just

Let me ask you a question, do you have any countermeasures?"

"this……"

Cao Peng lowered his head.

This really doesn’t exist!

It was just a temporary incident, but after the incident, I had no regrets.

Xun You said softly: "Ten days later, the lord will lead his troops to withdraw to Putian Ze, and Du Pavilion is the only way to go.

After the lord leads his troops through the pontoon bridge, you have one hour to let the people of Jujube pass through the pontoon bridge. After one hour, the pontoon bridge must be cut off. Otherwise, if Yuan Jun pursues them, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the lord... Have you heard clearly?

Already?"

***Cao agreed?

Cao Peng opened his eyes wide in surprise.

This was indeed beyond his expectation. A person who would rather betray me than others betray me, would actually agree to such a request?

Lao Cao has never been an emotional person.

"The Lord will dispatch Bo Ren and Zi Yu, each with a troop of troops to assist you.

Remember, one hour!" Xun You said solemnly: "After one hour, the floating bridge must be cut off, otherwise... I think you can understand."

An hour, two hours!

Can 30,000 people be allowed to pass?

Cao Peng didn't know either.

But he still felt very happy, "I understand."

As he spoke, he was about to stand up. But his legs almost lost consciousness. When he stood up, his body staggered and he almost fell to the ground. Xun You stretched out his hand to support him and looked at Cao Peng's happy face.

He looked like he was sighing, smiling and shaking his head slightly.

"Go ahead, Boren and Ziyu are waiting outside with their people."

Cao Peng massaged his legs, and after regaining some consciousness, he stood up.

"Mr. Xun, thank you very much!"

"You don't need to thank me. This is my lord's decision... My lord is not that kind of unjust person. He understands the principle of 'the people are the most important' better than you."

Xun You smiled and walked out of the Yamen Hall with Cao Peng.

Cao Peng bowed and saluted him again, and then quickly ran out of the mansion.

Standing on the doorstep of the Yamen Hall, Xun You shook his head...

Ming Gong’s decision this time seems to be a bit childish!

————————————————————————————

Cao Peng met the two brothers Xiahou Shang and Xiahou En at the gate of Suanzao City.

The two men each led five hundred soldiers and were waiting for Cao Peng.

"Youxue, you are really causing trouble for yourself."

When Xia Houen saw Cao Peng's first words, he started to blame him. What about Xia Houshang? He just looked at Cao Peng quietly without saying a word.

"Let's go back to Duting first."

Cao Peng didn't defend himself. He smiled and led Fei Qi out of the city gate.

"This guy is clearly looking for a way to make himself uncomfortable."

Xia Houen glanced at Xia Houshang with a wry smile and murmured in a low voice.

Xia Houshang hesitated, "Afu is a kind person...at least he is a hundred times stronger than those who only talk but don't do anything."

"Ha, you two are really..."

Xia Houen didn't say anything else. He just laughed twice and urged his horse to follow Cao Peng.

After returning to Duting, Cao Peng first settled Xiahou Shang and Xiahou En, and then summoned Kan Ze and others to the military tent.

After telling what happened exactly, Kan Ze couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, aren't you getting yourself into trouble?"
