Wen Chou, who was covered in blood, was escorted into the tent.
Upon seeing Cao Lie, Wen Chou's eyes were filled with shame and respect.
He was ashamed that one of the two heroes of Hebei had been defeated by a young boy who had just entered the battlefield.
They were in awe of Cao Lie's extraordinary talent and his bravery at such a young age.
"Wen Chou!"
Cao Lie's gaze was sharp as a blade." You've lost to me," he said sternly." You don't have to admit defeat."”
Silence.
Then, Wen Chou took a deep breath and cupped his hands."Cao Lie, I, Wen Chou, have underestimated you. I admit defeat to you.”
"He's a straightforward man.”
Cao Lie nodded slightly.
"Since you're convinced, why don't you surrender to me, Cao Lie, and help my Cao family achieve great things!”
Cao Lie didn't beat around the bush and directly surrendered.
Wen Chou shivered.
He obviously didn't expect that this Cao Family kid actually wanted to recruit him.
"Deacon Yuan has treated me well. How can I, Wen Chou, be disloyal to him?”
Wen Chou raised his head and resolutely refused.
"He treated you well?"
"Yuan Shao connived at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fighting for the crown prince, and the scholars of Ruying and Hebei under him were like fire and water.”
"As the general of Hebei, now that you have been defeated and captured, Xu You, Guo Tu, and the other scholars of Ruying will definitely denounce you.”
"Do you think that after this battle, Yuan Shao will continue to treat you well?”
Cao Lie sneered and exposed the predicament that Wen Chou was about to face.
"He actually knows the Yuan family's internal strife like the back of his hand?”
Wen Chou's expression changed slightly as he was secretly shocked.
His sore spot was undoubtedly poked.
Being captured and defeated was the greatest humiliation for a general.
Yuan Tan's Ru Ying scholars would definitely seize this opportunity to attack him.
Yuan Shao also loved his face very much, he would most likely be extremely disappointed in him and feel disgust in his heart.
Thinking of this, Wen Chou sighed helplessly.
Then, he said tragically," Deacon Yuan, you can blame me. I, Wen Chou, am of indomitable spirit. I will never betray my master!"”
Cao Lie nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Men, untie General Wen."
The white-robed guard stepped forward and untied Wen Chou.
Wen Chou's eyes were filled with confusion, unable to guess Cao Lie's intentions.
"Wenchou, I can let you go since you are a man.”
Cao Lie's tone became gentler.
As soon as he said that.
Zhang Liao and Yu Jin couldn't help but change their expressions and give him a look.
Wen Chou was the general of Hebei Province and Yuan Shao's lackey. If he let him go like this, wouldn't he be letting the tiger return to the mountain? He would definitely become a future trouble.
"General…General Cao, are you really going to let me go?”
Wen Chou was also shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Of course, but…"
"You have to kill this person in front of me first." Cao Lie changed the topic.”
He raised his hand and pointed at Yuan Xi, who was pressed to the ground in front of the tent with his back facing the ugly man.
When Yuan Xi heard this, he was terrified and struggled with all his might.
Unfortunately, his tongue had been cut off and he was held down, so he could not reveal his identity.
"General Cao, are you kidding me?”
Wen Chou looked at the blood-stained back, his eyes flashing with suspicion.
"I, Cao Lie, will keep my word!"
Cao Lie gave his promise and threw the sword at Wen Chou.
Wen Chou held the sword in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, the sword in his hand slashed down.
"Crack!"
Yuan Xi's head fell to the ground.
Yu Jin and Zhang Liao were shocked. They suddenly understood Cao Lie's intention and couldn't help but secretly look at each other.
He threw the blood sword aside and said loudly,"General Cao, I have killed this man. I hope you will keep your word."”
Cao Lie smiled.
"Men, send General Wen out of the camp.”
He passed down the order and pointed at the head on the ground." By the way, I'll have to trouble General Wen to bring this head back. Treat it as my big gift to Yuan Shao.”
Wen Chou heaved a sigh of relief.
He picked up the head and wanted to leave immediately.
"Bang!"
The head fell to the ground.
Wen Chou sucked in a breath of cold air, his expression frozen in shock.
" Second…Second Young Master!?"
His voice was hoarse as he finally saw the face of the head.
He actually killed Yuan Xi with his own hands!
The atmosphere in the tent was deathly silent.
"General Cao, your methods are vicious and deceitful.”
Wen Chou smiled bitterly and looked at Cao Lie with a complicated expression.
Although it was humiliating to be defeated and captured, he was still loyal to Yuan Shao. After returning, Yuan Shao would most likely tolerate him.
Now, he had killed Yuan Shao's son with his own hands!
How could Yuan Shao forgive him for killing his son?
Now, other than surrendering, he had nowhere else to go.
This was Cao Lie's method!
"General Zi Zhao used a few tricks to cut off Wen Chou's retreat to Yuan Shao. This method of forcing him to surrender is really slightly better than my lord's.”
Zhang Liao and Yu Jin looked at each other in amazement.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Chou no longer hesitated and bowed to Cao Lie.
"I, Wen Chou, am willing to surrender to General Cao and serve you!”
This Hebei General finally bowed and submitted.
"Good!"
Cao Lie laughed and stood up. He helped Wen Chou up and comforted him,"Wen Ziqin, don't feel wronged. I, Cao Lie, will prove to you how wise your choice today is!”
Wen Chou's heart shook.
In an instant, he sensed a different aura from Cao Lie.
"His methods are better than Deacon Yuan's, and his bearing is also extraordinary. Could he really be a wise ruler?”
Wen Chou's thoughts surged, and that trace of resentment had already disappeared.
"Men, send General Wen down to recuperate!”
Cao Lie comforted him and ordered Wen Chou to be sent out of the tent.
Ding!"The host has successfully killed Yuan Tan and completed the Tyrant Quest. The host has received 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards (Special Spy, Intelligence Detection Ability increased by 100%.)”
Cao Lie's eyes gleamed.
Jinyiwei, the secret weapon to spy on military intelligence!
With this troop, no secret in the world could escape his eyes.
Cao Lie laughed and downed a cup of Du Kang wine.
"Whoosh!"
The white-robed personal guard entered and cupped his hands." Reporting to Young Master, the eldest young master of the Zhen family of Wei County, Zhen Yao, requests an audience outside."”
Zhen Yao?
Zhen Family of Wei County?
The Zhen family, one of the three richest people in the world, known as the Zhen family of the North and the Zhen family of the South?
Zhen Mi, the number one beauty in Hebei Province, was Zhen Yao's sister.
"Interesting."
Cao Lie sneered and waved his hand.”
