Chapter 984: Can't Hear and Can't See Before Dawn

Guo Jia said something, Cao Cao stared into his eyes and said, "It seems that there is something in his words."

With his hands clasped his fists, Guo Jia lowered his head without saying a word.

"Jirong came to say goodbye just now, and I also felt that he had something to say." Cao Cao asked, "Is it the same thing you two want to say?"

"Maybe it is." Guo Jia said: "I don't know what the eldest son is going to say, I just speculate that he should be the same as I think."

"It's not been a year or two for you to follow me." Cao Cao said, "You don't know my temper yet? Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly."

"The eldest son had pleaded for the prisoner before, but was rejected by Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "I came to see Cao Gong specifically, and I also wanted to find a way out for them."

"Fengxiao also thinks it's inappropriate for me to kill them?" Cao Cao asked with a frown.

"Does Cao think they deserve to die?" Guo Jia said: "Compared with those who secretly communicated with Yuan Shao, what the prisoners did was just what they should do. I really can't understand that Cao Gong could spare those who tried to betray those who wanted to betray those prisoners who were serving in the army."

"There is nothing I can't figure out." Cao Cao said: "If these people return to Hebei, they will still be able to fight with our army in the future. How could I allow them to live?"

"If they can't go back to Hebei, can Cao Gong spare them?" Guo Jia asked.

"Presenting filial piety is the plan," Cao Cao frowned and asked Guo Jia.

"Leave it to the young master." Guo Jia said: "The young master needs manpower to farm in Huainan, Xuzhou and other places. Let these people settle down there, most of them will not be willing to risk being captured by the Yuan family and work hard to return to Hebei."

"What should I do if someone has a strong hometown love and escapes back to Hebei secretly?" Cao Cao asked again.

"The eldest son's farming farming is different from the Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "It is said that all villages are retired soldiers. They are loyal to the eldest son. Some people attempt to escape. Without the eldest son's order, those who intend to escape will be killed on the road."

"If this is true, I can spare their lives." Cao Cao said, twisting his beard, "But my order has been given."

"The orders of Cao Gong should be as usual." Guo Jia said: "Just give the eldest son a chance to violate the order."

"What does it mean?" Cao Cao asked.

"After the order to bury the captive alive, I will secretly tell the eldest son to take all the captives away." Guo Jia said: "The captives are grateful to the eldest son for saving his life, and the troubles with him on the road may be much smaller. When they arrive in Huainan, most people will not repay the kindness, and the eldest son will start a family and establish a career there. In another three or two years, they may drive them away, and they will not return to Hebei."

"Fengxiao's plan is really good." Cao Cao said, "But I will do the evil ones."

"If Cao Gong conquered the world, if he still cared about what others thought, wouldn't he be controlled everywhere?" Guo Jia asked.

Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Has Fengxiao discussed with Zirong in advance, thinking that it would be the most appropriate for me to be this evil person?"

"Some of the culprits can be taken, but some of them can only be taken by Cao Gong." Guo Jia bowed his fists and said to Cao Cao: "As long as it is for the Cao family, what else can Cao Gong not see through?"

"Okay!" Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to Guo Jia, "I order you to convey that since I want to be a villain, I will do it with you."

Guo Jia smiled on his face and said to Cao Cao: "If Cao Gong allows me, I would like to go to Huainan in a few days."

"What are Fengxiao doing there?" Cao Cao asked.

"Since the order is issued and the eldest son disobeys the order, of course he has to give him some punishment." Guo Jia said: "In this way, the prisoners can be even more devoted."

"I drag Fengxiao, and Fengxiao wants to drag Zirong again. It seems that we can't get much benefits in this matter." Cao Cao said, "Forget it, let you do it. I'm a little tired. I can't see or hear anything that happened tonight, but after dawn, if Zirong hasn't left yet."

"I will make arrangements." Guo Jia replied.

Leaving Cao Cao's tent, Guo Jia searched for Cao Shuo everywhere.

Without getting his response, Cao Shu had not yet visited the Yuan army's prisoners, but watched the soldiers packed their luggage and prepared to lead the army back to Huainan.

When he found Cao Shu, Guo Jia arrived and said before he could greet him, "Young Master, go see the prisoners of war quickly and ask them whether they want to live or die. I will convey the orders of the young master later, and ask the young master to control me and put it aside and show it to the prisoners."

"Mr. Guo means that I want someone to tie you up?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "How can this be done?"

"Do you still want these tens of thousands of strong people?" Guo Jia asked.

"Of course I want it." Cao Shuo said: "More than 100,000 people are a considerable force for me."

"I'm just tied me up once for now, and I don't need to tie it too tightly." Guo Jia said: "Why not do it if you can save more than 100,000 people?"

Cao Shu thought for a while and said to Guo Jia: "They are all soldiers in the army, and many of them should know how to tie people. If they want to do the same, they may have to tie them tightly."

Guo Jia was suddenly covered in black lines.

He made the idea, but he didn't expect that Cao Shu was so kind that he could do it. He said, since he wanted to tie it up, it must be tied up strongly.

"Young Master, please do whatever you want." Guo Jia said, "Mr. Cao said that no matter what happens tonight, he can't see or hear. By dawn, if the young master has not left, more than 100,000 prisoners will not be able to leave!"

After struggling for most of the night, there was not much time before dawn.

Cao Shu quickly shouted to the generals such as Chen Dao and others on the side, "Get the soldiers ready, we must set out before dawn."

He ordered the generals, and he led Xu Shu, Cai Ji, Wei Tu and others to run quickly towards the prisoners who were digging a pit by the river.

As soon as he arrived by the river, he found a group of people digging very hard, and the pit was very deep and flat.

Cao Shu walked towards the group of people.

Seeing him coming, the Cao army soldiers who were guarding the captives saluted one after another.

When he arrived at the edge of the pit, Cao Shu asked the group of prisoners who dug the pit, "What did you do in Yuan's army before?"

The prisoners who dug the pit raised their heads one by one, looking at him tremblingly.

One of them replied: "Go back to the young master, we used to be from the Dizi Camp."

"Then you must know Li Zhi." Cao Shuo asked, "Where is Li Zhi?"

When he asked Li Zhi, the captives all lowered their heads, and no one responded.

Cai Ji stared at them with his eyes and shouted: "Young Master, why would he answer when he asks? Tell me quickly, where is Li Zhi?"
