Bian Yu was silent, she obviously didn't expect that the Tao Chamber of Commerce would make such an exchange request.
Of course, she knows how important the Son of Heaven is in her husband's heart, if it weren't for the trump card of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, her husband probably wouldn't have become the second largest prince in the world in just a few years.
Of course, the throne of the second child has been ruthlessly pushed down by the hateful young man in front of him, also in a short period of time.
She knows better that with Cao Cao's current unfavorable situation, she needs the bargaining chip of the Son of Heaven even more.
If he loses the Son of Heaven, his husband will go from being a big boss who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and will become a separatist of Liu Biao and his ilk.
Even, it's not as good as Liu Biao.
At least Liu Xian had Jingxiang and 100,000 people with armor, but his husband was killed by the potters and had almost no place to stand, and there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
Without the Son of Heaven, I really don't know how Cao Cao will continue to mix.
Bian Yu didn't speak, not only because she didn't want to be a burden to Cao Cao, but also because she didn't have confidence that her husband would be willing to exchange the Son of Heaven for their mother and son, as well as the character of more than a dozen Cao clansmen.
"It seems that Mrs.
Bian has no confidence in her husband, since this is the case, then we have nothing to say, come on" "Slow" Just when the potter was about to give another killing order, Bian Yu suddenly let out a clear drink and stopped the potter.
Her eyes were full of gloom, and she glared at the potter resentfully, hesitated for a moment, slowly raised the wine glass in front of her, paused at her lips for a few seconds, and poured her head up.
Drinking this glass of wine naturally means that she agreed to the conditions offered by the potter.
"Very good, I just like happy women, then let's take a look, in Cao Mengde's eyes, is your mother and daughter important, or the son of heaven is important."
The potter smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, and waved his hand, "Come on, the pen and paper are waiting for Mrs.
Bian." ” The wine and meat were removed from the table, and the pen, ink, silk and paper were served.
"Mrs.
Bian, please."
The potter flicked his sleeves and said with a faint smile.
Bian Yu picked up the pen, stared at the blank silk paper, was silent for a moment, bit his lips, and without hesitation, he picked up the pen and began to write.
That night, Bian Yu wrote a letter with his own hand, conveying the exchange conditions offered by the potters to Cao Cao, and the potters sent someone to hold the letter, and went south under the stars to hand it over to Cao Cao.
The day after the letter was sent, the potter led an army of more than 20,000 cavalry, went south in the starry night, followed Cao Cao's escape route, and went straight to Nanyang.
The reason why he only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses was not because he looked down on Cao Cao's remnants, but because he really couldn't draw more soldiers and horses to march into Nanyang.
There is no way, who made him too strong, the speed of the march, the rapid expansion of the territory, even he himself did not expect.
After taking Fengqiu the previous time, he cut off a large area of the entire Northern Yanzhou county, and has divided some soldiers and horses to collect and surrender, until now Taishan County is still resisting stubbornly and refuses to surrender.
Although most of the remaining counties declared their submission, there were still counties loyal to Cao Cao that refused to give in.
When Northern Yanzhou had not yet been completely digested and the people's hearts had not yet been calmed, the potters broke through Xudu and drove Cao Cao to Nanyang.
Xu Du was defeated, and Cao Cao retreated to Nanyang, which meant that he gave up Yingchuan, Chen, Liang and other large counties that belonged to Yuzhou.
These ruling vacuums that emerged due to Cao Cao's defeat almost encompassed most of Yuzhou and Southern Yanzhou.
Although the princes of these counties lost contact with Cao Cao, they wavered and did not explicitly express their submission to the pottery merchants.
Even, the Taishou of several counties also openly raised the banner of self-reliance, declaring that they were neither loyal to Cao Cao nor surrendered to his pottery merchants, but also wanted to learn from others to be the princes of one side.
Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the county is inferior to Cao Cao's main force, it is also a force to be reckoned with, if it is not cleared, the flank and rear of the potters will always be threatened, and they will not be able to pursue Cao Cao smoothly.
In order to ensure the stability of the flanks and rear, and also to set an example for the monkeys, and to teach those who still have a fluke mentality and refuse to submit to him a little blood, the pottery merchants had to divide the two generals Li Guang and Gao Shun, and divide more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to conquer these counties.
Nanyang County, Ye County.
A defeated army with a gray face and a broken flag walked into the northernmost county of Nanyang County in despair.
Entering the lobby of the county government and drinking a few sips of convulsive wine, Cao Cao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fleeing from the defeat of Xudu, Cao Cao led less than 3,000 remnants of the army, and fled all the way, running for hundreds of miles, until he fled to this Ye County, and confirmed that the potters did not continue to chase him, before he dared to stop and take a few breaths.
"Yu Sikong, the eldest prince is back, the eldest prince is back" Dian Wei broke in excitedly and shouted loudly.
Cao Cao, who originally looked gloomy and didn't say a word, heard that his beloved eldest son was still alive, and his spirits suddenly perked up, and his gray eyes instantly lit up with a rare surprise.
"Where is Ang'er, where is he" The excited Cao Cao jumped up and rushed down the stairs in great stride.
Cao Ang, who was covered in blood, had stumbled and strode into the hall, and when he saw Cao Cao, he was excited with tears in his eyes, and he knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "Father." ” Cao Cao's eyes were shining, and he helped his son up, looking up and down excitedly, as if he couldn't believe that his beloved eldest son could still see him alive.
When the father and son saw each other, they were full of emotion, but they couldn't say a word.
After a while, the emotions of the two calmed down, and Cao Cao asked, "What about your second mother and your sister?"
As soon as he mentioned Bian's and his sister Cao Ying, Cao Ang lowered his head, revealing a look of shame, and said silently: "Shu'er is incompetent and failed to save Erniang and her sister, at this time, I am afraid that they have been killed by the pottery thief." ” Cao Cao's body was shocked, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "What the hell is going on?"
Cao Ang sighed, and then he escaped from Xudu, but halfway was robbed by the pottery merchant and cavalry, he fought the pottery merchant and dragged the pottery merchant's pursuers to kill, but only escaped from his mother Ding's carriage, Erniang Bian's and his sister Cao Ying's carriage, but was trapped by the Tao army's pursuers, silently said.

"Son originally planned to fight for his life, and he had to save Erniang and his sister, but at a critical time, why did his father order him to retreat" Cao Ang only cared about being impassioned, but unintentionally, he poked Cao Cao's sore spot.
Cao Cao's face immediately sank, and the joy of seeing father and son was swept away, and the hands that were holding his son tightly were also loosened.
Obviously, Cao Ang said something that should not be said, and the implication of those words seemed to be that he desperately wanted to save his second mother and sister, but Cao Cao, the father, did not let him save it, so that their mother and daughter fell into the hands of the pottery merchant, and their life and death were unknown.
Cao Ang was still talking about generosity, and Cao Cao had already turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked back to the upper seat.
Suddenly, Cao Ang came to his senses and realized that he had no intention of speaking and embarrassed his father.
"My father told me to retreat in order to save my life, and I sacrificed Erniang and my sister as a last resort, when I say this, don't I put the responsibility on my father, Cao Ang, Cao Ang, how can you be so confused?"
Cao Ang realized in his heart, slapped himself a few mouths in his heart, his face was full of shame, and he turned his words around, and said with shame: "It's my son who is incompetent, I was carried away by hatred, and I only thought about killing the pottery thief and avenging the dead uncles, but I forgot the important task of protecting Erniang and my sister, so that they were killed by the pottery thief, and my son is guilty, please punish my father." ” As he spoke, Cao Ang fell to his knees again, looking ashamed of himself.
"This stinky boy finally has a little filial piety, understands Lone's difficulties, and stands up in time to be a shield for Lone, and it is not in vain that Lone sacrifices Yu'er and the baby" Cao Cao nodded slightly, his face turned from cloudy to clear, he flicked his hand lightly, and sighed: "That's it, you are also revengeful, and you are not to blame for this matter, get up." ” Cao Ang secretly checked his breath at this time, and stood up with his head down, still looking ashamed.
"Your second mother and your sister" "Newspaper" Just when Cao Cao wanted to change the topic, a personal soldier rushed into the hall in stride, and handed over a letter, "Yu Sikong, the pottery thief sent a messenger to come, and he just delivered a letter. ” Letters of the potter Cao Cao's brows condensed slightly, his eyes rolled a few times, and he didn't bother to look at it, so he only shouted: "Read it." ” He guessed that this letter was most likely a letter written by Tao Shangzhi who was complacent and arrogant, to show off his might and humiliate him.
Cao Cao was trying to use this arrogant letter to arouse the indignation of the generals under his command and rekindle their fighting spirit for revenge, so as to boost the morale of the army.
When the soldiers received the order, they did not present the letter again, opened it, and read it out loud in front of Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Le Jin and other military generals.
"Husband Mengde, concubine Bian and baby girl, now fine" As soon as this letter came out, Cao Cao's face immediately changed.
Not only Cao Cao, but also the eldest son Cao Ang, and all the civil and military subordinates also changed their faces, and they all showed surprise.
This turned out to be a letter written by Bian to Cao Cao Everyone, including Cao Cao, never thought that Bian was still alive and that the potter would allow him to write a letter to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's scorched face instantly flashed a trace of surprise, but in the blink of an eye, his face was completely gloomy, and deep jealousy burst out from his sunken eyes.
There is even a little subtle disappointment.
If Bian and his daughter Cao Ying died in the chaos, he Cao Cao would be heartbroken for a few days at most, and at most he would add a few more strokes to the blood debt owed by the potters to his Cao family.
Anyway, the potter already has a grudge against him, and it is not too much to add a few more.
However, their mother and daughter are still alive.
Cao Mengde, who was the second largest prince in the world, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, his beloved wife and daughter, but fell into the hands of the sworn enemy of the potter, if this was spread, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the world.
What annoyed Cao Cao even more was that if they fell into the hands of the potters, they would become his fetters and his burdens, giving the potters the opportunity to use them to make a fuss.
Really.
After Bian reported his peace, at the end of the letter, he put forward the conditions offered by the potter: I am willing to exchange the lives of more than ten members of the Cao family and the freedom of the Bian family mother and daughter for the Son of Heaven.
Cao Cao's worries finally became a reality, his face was as gloomy as iron, his brows were condensed into a "Chuan", and all his anger was written on his face.
The eldest son, Cao Ang, and the warriors under his command were all silent, and their eyes were all shot at Cao Cao.
Just before Cao Cao could speak, the next step stood up first, and said with righteousness: "Sikong, this condition offered by the pottery thief must not be agreed" isjgy:
