Chapter 1405 The heart is not cruel and the country is unstable
Guo Tu responded proudly, but Cao Shu was not surprised.
He looked back at Deng Zhan and saw that Deng Zhan looked shocked.
Zhu Ao, who stood on the same ride with Deng Zhan, was also surprised.
It’s not that the two of them don’t know Guo Tu, nor do they know what kind of person he is.
When they met him in the past, they thought that Guo Tu was a despicable villain who could do anything for the sake of profit.
It is precisely because of this view that they dared to make a bet with Cao Shu.
But unexpectedly, Guo Tu, who was standing in front of them at this time, brought them a different feeling.
After being cut by two dragon cavalry guards, Guo Tu looked proud and full of righteousness.
Looking at Guo Tu in front of him, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao even had some doubts, did Zhao Yun catch the wrong person?
"Mr. Guo brought five thousand people, but only more than three hundred people intercepted us." Cao Shuo said: "You know I don't have time to wait here. If your thousands of infantry come, I will really not be able to leave."
"Cao Zirong, if you want to kill, kill, why bother to pretend here?" Guo Tu raised his face and said, "I was born in Hebei, and I died in Hebei's ghost. Before I died, I only have one request. If you agree, it will fulfill my righteousness and achieve your fame."
"Mr. Guo, please tell me." Cao Shuo gestured.
Guo Tu refused to surrender, and he really didn't have time to waste here.
If Guo Tu is brought with me, I don’t know what trouble it will cause later, so Cao Shu can only choose to kill him.
"I haven't returned to Yecheng for a long time. Although it has been broken by the Cao family, I still want to go to Yecheng after my death. Maybe I can meet Mr. Yuan there." Guo Tu slowly closed his eyes and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I just want to face the direction of Yecheng, whether it is to die on kneeling or standing, let Mr. Zirong deal with it."
"Mr. Guo is righteous, I will let you die while standing." Cao Shuo said: "Leave a whole body for you is the only thing I can do for you."
"Thank you, young master." Guo Tu thanked Cao Shu.
"Get the white silk." Cao Shu ordered to the side.
Deng Zhan responded and ordered the guards to get the white silk.
After taking Bai Ling, he jumped off his horse and walked to Guo Tu.
Guo Tu's integrity made Deng Zhan respect him a little more.
He said to Guo Tu, "Please turn around, Mr. Guo."
Without saying anything, Guo Tu turned around and looked towards Yecheng.
Deng Zhan wrapped the white silk around his neck from behind.
Cao Shu asked again: "Donald Guo really figured it out? If General Deng pulls Bai Ling hard, it will be too late to regret it."
Standing facing Yecheng, Guo Tu suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly, "Mr. Yuan, I'm here to see you!"
Holding the two ends of the white silk with both hands, Deng Zhan's eyes were also a little red.
He turned around and looked at Cao Shu.
Deng Zhan was in a very complicated mood at this time.
He had no concern about Guo Tu's life and death before, but now he hoped that Cao Shu would order Guo Tu to be spared.
A loyal and righteous man like this will inevitably make people feel pity.
But Deng Zhan did not wait for Cao Shu to pardon, but Cao Shu nodded to him.
After receiving the order, although he couldn't bear it, Deng Zhan still pulled the two ends of Bai Ling hard.
After being strangled by the white silk, Guo Tu only let out a gentle "um" and pulled the white silk that was strangling his throat with both arms.
But for a moment, his arms dropped, cutting off his breath.
Release the white silk, Deng Zhan looked at Cao Shu.
"He should be able to arrive soon." Cao Shuo said: "We don't have time to have a grand funeral, so we can only leave it to his men. Hang his body on the tree, so don't let the beasts eat it."
Deng Zhan responded and ordered several soldiers to hang Guo Tu's body.
The soldiers were planning to hang Guo Tu's neck with white silk, but Cao Shu shouted: "Don't strangle his neck anymore. Use two white silks to hang him flat on the tree, as if he was sleeping on the tree."
Several soldiers responded and hung Guo Tu flatly onto a tree as Cao Shu's instructions.
"Let's go!" Looking at the soldiers hanging up Guo Tu's body, Cao Shu gave the order to leave.
"Young Master, although this battle is fast, we almost killed many enemies." Following Cao Shu, Chen Dao said, "In total, only thirty or twenty enemy troops were killed."
"How many people have we lost?" Cao Shuo asked.
"There are not even injuries." Chen Da replied: "Many Yuan soldiers turned around and ran away. I really don't understand how dare Yuan Tan take such an army to be enemies with the Cao family."
"We can see clearly, but Yuan Tan may not be able to see clearly." Cao Shuo said to Chen Dao: "Send someone to Qingzhou, and send another person to Xuzhou. Let Xu Yuanzhi and Sima Zhongda raise an army and immediately occupy the entire Qingzhou area. The war to attack Yuan Tan should begin."
Chen Dao turned around and ordered the two dragon-patterned cavalry: "You two go to Qingzhou and Xuzhou respectively to convey the orders of the prince to General Xu and General Sima."
Two Longwen riders who received the order turned their horses and headed towards Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
"After waiting for so long, Qingzhou is finally about to be a young master." Looking at the backs of two dragon-patterned riders leaving, Chen Dao said.
"I knew that Qingzhou would be mine sooner or later," Cao Shuo said: "What I want most now is to take the entire Yangzhou in my hand."
"Yangzhou is in the hands of the Sun family in Jiangdong. The Cao family has not pacified the north yet, so I'm afraid..." Chen Dao said hesitantly.
"Uncle Zhi!" Cao Shu interrupted him and asked him, "How long have you been with me?"
"Go back to the young master." Chen Dao said: "I have been following the young master for two or three years!"
"When did we stop the conquest in the past two or three years?" Cao Shu asked again.
"I have been fighting with the Yuan family." Chen Dao said: "Although the young master has led his troops to Jingzhou, Jingzhou is vulnerable..."
"After the Yuan family fights, there are many places we want to fight." Cao Shuo said: "When Yuan Shang fled to Youzhou, Yuan Xi will definitely resist the Cao family with him. When we break through Youzhou, new enemies will also jump out. Troubled times have begun, and the people are hanging upside down. What we, those of us who have weapons and military power, have to do is to restore peace to the people. Before the world is peaceful, I will kill many people, but the purpose of killing is not just to kill, but to make no killing in the world!"
Chen Dao nodded without saying a word. Zhao Yun on the side said, "Young Master's killing is for no more killing, it sounds like a fallacy, but after careful consideration, it is indeed that truth."
