Chen Liu, when Cao Zhen was defeated and the news came that Zhao Kuangyin was about to make dumplings for Chen Liu, Cao Cao immediately put a bowl of rice on the table.
It's impossible to shout three times in a row, it's absolutely impossible!
Cheng Yu and the others stood aside calmly, as if they didn't hear anything.
Everyone was waiting for Lao Cao to get angry first. If they caught Lao Cao's anger at this time, they might be joking with their own lives.
At certain times, Lao Cao's IQ will indeed drop extremely and he will be able to do anything.
But when he calms down, his IQ will be restored and he will become the extremely shrewd Cao Mengde again.
After getting angry, Cao Cao unconcernedly put the bowl of rice that he had put on the table into the bowl bit by bit, and took a few big mouthfuls.
After they were full, they all drank the wine away, leaving only Cheng Yu, Xia Houying and a few others.
Tian Ji silently walked out of the house. The moment he was about to exit the door, his expression clearly changed.
Under the influence of internal and external factors, Tian Ji knew that it was finally time for Cao Cao to make a decision.
Now, the Jin army seems to be dominating the world. Cao Cao has already laid the road. Why don't Tian Ji and others climb up the ladder? If Tian Ji and others come to Zhao Kuangyin and put their eggs in a basket,
What are the benefits to the Tian family lineage?
Therefore, although Tian Ji felt helpless towards Cao Cao's suspicion, he would not have any thoughts of betraying Cao Cao. Firstly, Tian Ji was not so glass-hearted that he would want to rebel at the slightest grievance. Secondly,
That is the advantage of the last journey with Cao Cao.
However, given Cao Cao's character, he still couldn't completely trust him, especially after Tian Wen and Tian Bu rebelled against Zhao.
The reason why the people of the Tian family persuaded them to surrender was because they were under the roof and had to bow their heads. They couldn't be the opposite even after their boss, Zhao Kuangyin, asked them to do so, right?
In fact, even Tian Yinqi and the others could guess that they would most likely not be able to persuade Tian Ji and the others.
This incident inevitably stimulated Cao Mengde, and the Tian family incident inevitably took root in Cao Cao's heart.
Tian Ji has been secretly persuaded to surrender more than once by people from the Tian family. This is a sensitive time. What Cao Cao showed at this time is distrust. Even if it is trivial, Tian Ji will be persuaded when he is sensitive.
Zoom in accidentally.
As for where these prisoners went, of course they went to the stomachs of those soldiers.
They followed Cao Ren to guard Runan. After Cao Ren was defeated, unfortunately, the two of them did not break out together.
However, this kind of problem treats the symptoms but not the root cause!
However, Tian Ji just sighed silently and didn't say much.
After Shi Shouxin really captured Dongjun, they were officially strategically surrounded by Zhao Kuangyin. What was even more troublesome was that their food and grass were gone. Yes, their food and grass were exhausted again.
Since Zhao Kuangyin wanted to alienate the generals under Cao Cao, in addition to those generals who had a blood feud with the Jin army, people from the Tian clan like Tian Wen were also the ones they wanted to win over.
The suspicious Cao Mengde, the more he is at this time, the less he will believe in the test of human nature. It is precisely because of this that Tian Ji is inevitably suspicious.
The bodies of the soldiers who died in battle every day were said to be uniformly processed and then burned. This was also a normal thing after the war. But only a very few, very few people knew that the bodies of these soldiers were actually
The good cells that were used in those prisons have now been completely turned into a slaughterhouse.
Therefore, the food and grass problem has never been solved.
Today's Cao Cao may not be completely at the end of his rope, but there is no hope of a comeback.
With the characters of these two people, it is of course impossible for them to be loyal to Cao Cao. Tian Yinqi only sent a letter, and the two people had already surrendered.
Although Cao Mengde would not do anything to Tian Ji just because of this kind of thing, although most of the aristocratic families would invest separately, they were still very disciplined. Even if they invested separately, the children of those families would be loyal to that monarch to the end.
Even if he can't do it to this extent, he still won't cheat that monarch.
However, this is not enough, so other means must be used to raise food and grass!
This method was used by Cao Cao in history. Chi You also used it in this era, and now, Cao Cao has used it again.
After being so beaten by Huo Qubing, where did Cao Cao get food and grass? He just relied on Chen Jun's hard work to support him a little.
As a general with a foreign surname, it is not easy for him to climb to the same status as people like the Cao family.
In such troubled times, there is never a shortage of scum, so the prison is never empty, and sometimes it is even overcrowded. However, Cao Cao's prison has long been empty.
Tian Ji strode out, knowing that Cao Cao had already made a choice.
Just like Tian Wen and Tian Bu, even if they surrendered, they only surrendered after being captured alive, not the drama of offering a city. It is precisely because of this that although the forces of those aristocratic families are in conflict among many princes,
There are children who serve as officials, but it has not had any excessive negative impact on these people.
Tian Wen and Tian Bu were among the Tian clan members who surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin. Of course, Tian Wen and Tian Bu had to surrender.
There are not two words for Tian in one stroke. The lineage of Tian Yinqi under Zhao Kuangyin and the lineage of Tian Wen and Tian Ji under Cao Cao are actually from the same family, but they were separated many years ago.
Even if Cao Cao at this time has not reached the point of being completely exhausted, at least at this time the Cao family still has some leverage and can sell it at a slightly better price.
If it really comes to a time when everything is completely exhausted, it will become a buyer's market. If the buyer says how much you are worth, then you are worth how much. If you have the ability, don't sell it to me!
Besides, it was precisely because Cao Cao still had some strength in his hands and was not completely exhausted yet that the Cao family's forces were able to break through Zhao Kuangyin's siege and reach Li Xiang's territory.
If Cao Cao doesn't even have the strength to break out of the encirclement, what's the use of paving that road in advance and risking problems within his forces?
Tian Ji strode outside the Chao Mansion. He knew that his life had reached a turning point, and in a few days, his life would usher in a completely different future.
