Letting go of Jiang Ji didn't have much impact on Liu Jue.

Unlike Cao Ren and Cao Hong, both of whom were Cao Cao's generals, and both were able to lead troops into battle.

Especially Cao Ren, he rarely failed in history, and the most famous one was also when he was old, when Cao Pi defeated Wu in the process of defeating Wu.

The current Cao Ren is at his peak, and he can be said to be the number one general under Cao Cao.

Now that Liu Jue has captured Cao Ren, it is impossible to take him for his own use, but he must not be put back to Cao Cao.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, and one will be hard to find!

For a general like Cao Ren, putting it back is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, which increases Cao Cao's power in disguise.

So if there were no accidents, Cao Ren would have to spend the rest of his life in captivity.

As for Cao Hong, although he is worse than Cao Ren, he is also a general, and he can't be given to Cao Cao.

And these two people are in their hands, which is equivalent to holding two hostages, they are the same great-grandfather as Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will not be able to ignore them.

After Jiang Ji left, Liu Jue would escort Cao Ren and Cao Hong to Xiangyang under house arrest.

......

Xuchang, Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion.

Today, Sikong Mansion is very lively, Cao Cao is sitting on the main seat, wearing a dark brocade robe, and he seems to be very interested.

Cao Cao is feasting his ministers today, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, etc., and military generals such as Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, etc.

Basically, those who came today were all important ministers under Cao Cao.

In the hall, the musicians have already played pleasant music, and more than a dozen singers are also dancing, a scene of singing and dancing.

During this time, Cao Cao entertained his ministers from time to time, and at the same time waited for the news of Cao Ren's victory.

Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, and he has had a good relationship since he was a child, and he followed Cao Cao very early and made a lot of contributions.

Cao Cao had already thought about what kind of reward he should give Cao Ren when Cao Ren returned victoriously this time.

Of course, Cao Hong and Jiang Ji can't forget.

After a song and dance, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Zixiao has been conquering Jingzhou for nearly a month this time, presumably Fancheng should be conquered now, and the good news will soon reach Xudu." Now we just have to drink while waiting for the good news from Zixiao!"

For Cao Cao's confident words, the rest of the people also smiled slightly.

Now that they all unify the north, as long as the brothers go south and pacify Jingzhou and Jiangdong, they can end the troubled times since the Yellow Turban.

As for Liu Zhang, Shi Xie, Ma Chao, and the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, they are all inadequate.

In the face of absolute strength, any stratagem is useless.

But there are also a few people who are rational at this time, such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc., feel that Cao Cao is too complacent, and it may not be a good thing to go on like this.

In their opinion, neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong is so easy to pacify.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and heard Xun Yu smile bitterly: "Cao Gong is on the rise now, let's not make Cao Gong unhappy at this time." "

When Guo Jia heard this, he only sighed slightly, but thinking about it, Cao Cao is also human nature.

Such as Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and other great enemies, have now become a pile of loess.

Cao Cao has come all the way to the present, and his power is in full swing, and it is not a big deal to relax for a while.

And in Guo Jia's view, Cao Ren's southern expedition to Jingzhou this time, as long as he did not make fatal mistakes, could at least take Fancheng nine times out of ten and force Liu Biao to retreat to Jiangling.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia relaxed a little, picked up the wine glass and touched Xun Yu, and then drank it all.

As the banquet progressed, Cao Cao's interest became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, he was a little drunk.

In a dim light, he seemed to see himself dominating the world.

At this moment, Fuzhong Changshi hurriedly walked in with a roll of bamboo slips, with some cold sweat on his face.

"Sikong, the military intelligence from the front has come to report, General Cao Ren has been defeated, and Wancheng has fallen into the hands of Liu Jue. Changshi bent down and bowed his head, presented the bamboo slips, and reported loudly to Cao Cao.

Changshi's words, the banquet that was lively just now, suddenly quieted down.

Cao Cao just picked up a glass of wine, and before he could bring it to his mouth, his movements were already stagnant, and the smile on his face gradually turned incredible.

Others, such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others, also showed shock.

Cao Cao's face sank, put the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and shouted at the long history: "How can Zixiao be defeated?

"Whew!" Chang Shi was resigned, and hurriedly sent the war report over, not daring to say a word.

Cao Cao spread out the bamboo slips and looked at them line by line, the more he looked at it, the more unsightly his face became, and most of the wine dissipated.

"Why did Zixiao fall for Liu Jue's tricks? By the way, where are Zixiao and the others now?" Cao Cao slapped the battle report on the table and asked Changshi a little angrily.

"Back to Sikong, according to General Cao Ren's lieutenant Wang Rong, General Cao Ren has now been captured by Liu Jue, and General Cao Hong and Mr. Jiang Ji have been captured at the same time. Changshi hurriedly replied.

"What? Zixiao and Zilian were both captured alive!" Cao Cao had a look of disbelief on his face.

Other people's expressions at this time are not much better than Cao Cao's, among the generals under Cao Cao, Cao Ren can be said to be a victorious general, and he can also fight tough battles, but this time he was actually captured by life?

This is something that everyone didn't expect, including Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others.

Boom!

Cao Cao suddenly stood up and kicked over the table in front of him, spilling wine and dishes on the floor.

"How could Zixiao be captured, are so many pro-soldiers around him all waste?" Cao Cao looked at that long history and roared out of shape.

Changshi was frightened, and hurriedly said: "According to what Captain Wang Rong said, General Cao Ren and others had already fled from other directions with a small force, and he led the large army to attract the attention of the pursuers, but for some reason they were discovered by Liu Jue, and soon General Cao Ren was caught up by Liu Jue. "

After Cao Cao heard this, he was even more angry, and said loudly: "Where is that captain Wang Rong, bring him to me, and I will personally ask him." "

"Please wait a moment, my subordinates will go and bring Wang Rong over immediately. Changshi didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly turned around and left. _
