On the way to the dungeon.
Guo Jia and Chen Gong followed behind Cao Biao. Guo Jia looked at Cao Biao's back with a complicated expression.
Who would have thought that the most lowly unfilial son of the Cao family, after being forced to escape Xuchang, would suddenly rise up and become a vassal with Xuzhou and Yuan Shu's territory. Moreover, he even threw Cao Cao into the dungeon.
Looking at Cao Biao's completely different bearing and demeanor from before, Guo Jia suddenly realized that everyone had misjudged him.
"Mr. Feng Xiao, do you have anything to say?"
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment before saying,"Then this one will be straightforward. I wonder what Young Master Cao Biao plans to do after taking down Xu Prefecture?”
"Unify the Nine Prefectures and pacify the world," Cao Biao said indifferently.”
"Young Master, are you not planning to return to Xuchang?" Guo Jia frowned.”
"Yes, why not?"
"When I returned to Xuchang, it was also the time when I recovered Xuchang and Si Li."”
Guo Jia was stunned.
"But that is Sikong's foundation. Young Master, don't forget that blood is thicker than water. Sikong is still your father, so why do you have to go against Sikong?”
"Fengxiao, you misunderstood."
Cao Biao turned to look at Guo Jia and said lightly,"I don't want to go against Cao Cao. I said that I want to unify the Nine Prefectures.”
Guo Jia choked.
"But why can't you join forces with Si Kong? Xuchang's matter was not a big deal at all. Why couldn't he just let it go? If the two of you are willing to join forces, I can guarantee that this world will not be long before it belongs to your Cao family!”
Cao Biao sighed," To tell you the truth, I don't hate Cao Cao. On the contrary, I admire him. I said that if he is willing to submit to me, I can make him the chief strategist."”
Guo Jia choked again. He looked at Cao Biao for a while and realized that Cao Biao didn't seem to be joking.
He could only lower his head and sigh…
……
In the dungeon, a kerosene lamp flickered.
There was a pungent smell.
This was because Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and Cao Ren had spent the past few days eating, drinking, and defecating in this ten-odd-square-meter space.
Xu Chu picked up the leftovers that Guo Jia brought back and stuffed them into his mouth as he said,
"My lord, you should eat a little too. Your health is more important.”
The disheveled Cao Cao was just about to say no when his stomach growled in protest. He could only sigh, move his feet over, and squat down.
He picked up a handful of cold leftovers and stuffed them into his mouth. His brows unconsciously furrowed deeply.
Because he chewed too hard, his cheeks were puffed up.
But it was still hard to swallow.
At this moment, Cao Cao no longer had the power of the emperor to command the vassals. He was just like a beggar!
Xu Chu and Cao Ren's eyes turned red when they saw this.
"My lord, Cao Biao wouldn't really plan to lock us up here forever, right?”Xu Chu said hatefully.
Cao Cao only chewed and did not speak.
He had already been locked up here for several days, but Cao Biao's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Only Guo Jia went out every day and brought back leftovers for them. She barely ate and there was no wine left!
This made the three of them suffer.
Cao Ren punched the wall and shouted,""Cao Biao, come out. If you have the guts, kill me, Cao Ren. Otherwise, if you let me out, I will skin you alive!”
At this moment, Xu Chu shuffled closer to Cao Cao and whispered,
"My lord, Cao Biao is despicable and shameless. Actually, we don't have to fight him head-on. Why don't we use a trick to make ourselves suffer? We'll lower our heads and admit our mistakes to him. As long as we get out of this damn place and return to Xuchang, we'll lead the army to flatten Xuzhou and kill this bastard!”
Cao Ren's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Cao Cao chewed as he pondered.
Xu Chu struck while the iron was hot." My lord, that's why we must eat more and preserve our strength. Only then will we have a chance to escape back to Xuchang."”
Cao Ren nodded and grabbed a handful of food that had turned sour.
Xu Chu did the same.
Cao Cao also grabbed the food and put it into his mouth. He had been starving for the past few days. If he had the chance to escape, he would not have the strength to do so.
Xu Chu chewed on his food and suddenly grinned."My lord, I didn't expect the leftovers to be so delicious!”
Cao Ren also nodded." Sigh, my lord, look. There's a piece of shredded meat here!"”
Xu Chu immediately exclaimed," How is this shredded meat? This is obviously steak. Come, my lord will give it to you!"”
Cao Cao also chuckled,"I'll keep it for dinner!"”
"Hahahaha!"
In the dungeon, a rare burst of unrestrained laughter finally rang out.
Xu Chu smiled and sighed." If only I had that wine from that day. That wine was really strong, fragrant, and domineering. This is the best wine I've had in so many years!”
Cao Ren nodded in agreement.
Cao Cao laughed,"Hehe, I thought that only Du Kang could relieve my worries." It seemed that he had to change. What could he do to relieve his worries? Only the wine brewed by that unfilial son!”
"Hahahaha!"
In the dungeon, the laughter of the three ministers rang out once again.
Just as the three of them were enjoying themselves amidst their suffering.
Da, da, da.
A series of footsteps sounded above the dungeon. The three of them looked up and their laughter stopped abruptly.
He was dumbfounded, as if he had been hit in the head.
The three of them subconsciously chewed on the food that was stuffed in their mouths. Suddenly, they reacted and subconsciously wanted to hide in the straw pile, but they felt that something was wrong and hurriedly spat out the food.
He was in an extremely sorry state.
Guo Jia saw this, and the corners of his eyes turned sour. At the same time, he felt extremely embarrassed.
The lord was suffering here, while he was living a luxurious life outside?
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed. This was a familiar scene! Back then, Cao Cao had also brought his subordinates to the prison to visit Cao Biao, but now it was the other way around…
A moment later, Cao Cao roared,"
"Help me up!"
Xu Chu and Cao Ren quickly helped Cao Cao up. Cao Cao patted the grass on his body and suddenly smiled.
"Cao Biao, are you satisfied now? Are you happy that I'm a prisoner now?”
Cao Biao laughed lightly,"Cao Cao, you think too highly of yourself. I have nothing to do with you now. Even if you die, it's just like a dead bug in my eyes."”
"You…unfilial son!"
Facing the dim light, Cao Cao's hair was disheveled and he looked a little terrifying.
"Cao Cao, I came to see you, but I think you have some talent. Why don't you surrender to me and become my strategist?" Cao Biao continued.”
"No, I can't! But! Yes!"
Cao Cao squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his entire body trembling with anger.
He originally had the ambition to unify the world, but now he wanted him to be a strategist, and the strategist of this unfilial son? This was intolerable!
Looking at Cao Biao's calm expression, Cao Cao had the urge to rush over and kick Cao Biao to the ground before giving him a good beating.
Looking at the furious Cao Cao, Xu Chu and Cao Ren cried out in their hearts," It's over, the trick of suffering is gone!
"Just you wait. The news of me being imprisoned by you has probably reached Xu Chang. They will definitely come to save me and flatten your Xu Province!”
"If you know what's good for you, it's not too late to let me go now!”
When Cao Cao and Cao Biao were talking, no one dared to interrupt.
Looking at Cao Cao's bloodshot eyes, Cao Biao said,"Alright, that bunch of trash came to me on their own. I don't have to make an extra trip to Xuchang.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression froze.
He secretly regretted what he had said just now.
As an ambitious man of his generation, how could he not see the current situation? If Xuchang really sent troops to save him, whether they could defeat Cao Biao was another matter. Yuan Shao in the north might send troops to Xuchang.
The three sides were now forming a horn.
As he was thinking, Guo Jia, who was also clear about the situation, said,"Young Master Cao Biao, the lord was just spouting nonsense in anger. How could he fight with you and let others reap the benefits?”
"In my opinion, blood is thicker than water. How can there be any overnight enmity between father and son? Why don't you two work together to deal with Yuan Shao in the north first, then sit down and talk about the problems between you two?”
