Cao Xijin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, he felt the approach of death. He knew that death was coming, but he could do nothing but wait. This feeling drove him crazy.
Li Ye was able to capture Bozhou City early in the morning, but he just wanted to let him go, and even used him as bait to catch more Wei Bojun... This kind of behavior is really hateful, and Cao Xijin is completely gone. dignity. As the leading general, he was humiliated to the extreme.
Cao Xijin opened his eyes suddenly, pointed at Li Ye in mid-air, and cursed at this life-and-death enemy: "Li Ye, you traitor, even if you capture my Bozhou today, my father will avenge me in the future! You If you go against the law and start a war, you will surely die! I have the help of the King of Longxi County in Weizhou, you can't win! If you are sensible, go back to Pinglu... "
Cao Xijin's voice stopped abruptly, and a phantom flashed in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, he felt light all over his body, and the foreground quickly receded. It turned out that he had already been grabbed by Li Ye's neck and lifted from the top of the city into the sky!
"You...you..." Cao Xijin struggled desperately, but to no avail, his face soon turned blue and purple.
The soldiers of the Bozhou Army at the head of the city were all horrified when they saw this scene.
Some monks wanted to rescue Cao Xijin, but looking at the height where Li Ye was, they were all too powerless. They couldn't go up to that position at all!
Li Ye glanced at Cao Xijin, his eyes full of contempt: "Death is imminent, and there are so many nonsense. What's the point of showing off your tongue?"
"You...you will die...I will wait for you to accompany me..." Cao Xijin struggled.
"Really?" Li Ye waved his sleeves, and suddenly the strong wind swept hundreds of steps from the top of the city. All the soldiers of the Bozhou Army on the top of the city were blown to the bottom of the city by the strong wind, causing countless deaths. The soldiers of the Pinglu Army took the opportunity to capture the top of the city, and launched a fierce attack on the unstable and terrified Bozhou defenders.
"Now, who is dead?" Li Ye's eyes were indifferent, "If you say a word, your clansmen, your soldiers, lost their lives for nothing. Do you think you call me a hero? It's a joke."
Li Ye pinched Cao Xijin to the top of the wall, threw him away, and smashed him into the female wall. The female wall collapsed, and Cao Xijin was covered with bricks and stones. He was stuck in the cracks of the stones, vomiting blood from his mouth, and could not move his limbs at all.
Cao Xijin stared at Li Ye, "You bastard, you bastard! If you dare, kill me!"
"You want to die? It's up to you. It doesn't matter what you say about this matter, I say it." Li Ye looked down at Cao Xijin, with no emotion in his eyes, "The envoy I sent to Weizhou was cut off by you ? The two armies are at war, and if you don’t kill them, it makes me very unhappy. If I am unhappy, someone has to pay the price. Come on!”
Zhao Polu happened to be nearby, upon hearing this, he rushed over immediately, clasped his fists and said, "Commander!"
"Find out all the members of the Cao family and children in the Bozhou garrison, and bring them to the top of the city." Li Ye ordered indifferently.
"Decree!" Zhao Polu took the order and left.
Cao Xijin's eyes showed a strong look of horror: "You... what do you want to do?"
As the family of Jiedushi, the Cao family is naturally the largest family in Weizhou, and the status of the clan members in Wei Bo is not ordinary. Among the direct descendants brought by Cao Xijin this time, many generals and schools are members of the Cao family.
"You'll find out soon enough."
The Pinglu army had already entered the city, and the city gate was opened. The Bozhou army was either defeated or turned to attack, and there were very few who were still resisting. Not long after, Zhao Polu sent dozens of Cao family members here one after another. There are differences in relatives, but they are all Cao family blood.
When they saw Li Ye, they knew that a catastrophe was coming, and most of them knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. But there were also some stubborn ones, glaring at Li Ye, but they were all tied up, and there were soldiers of the Pinglu Army standing behind them with knives, so they couldn't do anything.
Li Ye glanced at Cao Xijin: "If you dare to cut off the ears of my envoys, you should know what it means. Now is the time for you to pay the price. Chop off their ears and limbs!"
Hearing Li Ye's words, all members of the Cao family changed their faces. Even the hard-nosed man was pale, sweating profusely, begging for mercy for a while.
Cao Xijin's eyes protruded, his facial features were distorted, he struggled to stand up, and roared: "Li Ye! You bastard! You mad dog, you will die..."
Li Ye stepped on Cao Xijin's face, stepped him into a crack in the stone, and stepped back all his words, sneering: "Injury and expelling the court envoy is tantamount to rebellion, Ling Chi should be executed, punishing the nine clans. What is Ling Chi? Cut a thousand knives and died for Ling Chi. Now you should understand what price Wei Bo's army will pay for attacking our Pinglu army?"
Cao Xijin's face was bleeding, but he couldn't speak, he could only growl from his throat.
The screams rang out one after another, and dozens of members of the Cao family had their ears cut off and their hands and feet cut off under the hands of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army. Blood flowed all over the ground, and even the toughest man rolled and howled in the pool of blood, and half of them passed out.
Li Ye withdrew his foot, glanced at these people, with a look of disgust on his face: "All of them will be executed, their corpses will be exposed to the public for three days. Let the people in the world see what will happen if they support their own self-respect, commit chaos, and disobey the majesty of the court!"
"Decree!"
Cao Xijin's face could no longer be seen, and his flesh and blood were blurred. He roared, "Li Ye, if you are a man, you will kill me! You will kill me, you bastard, if you dare, you will kill me!"
Li Ye smiled contemptuously: "Whether I am a man or not is up to you. Haven't you figured it out yet? You are not as good as a dog now. Someone, cut off his ears, cut off his limbs, Send it to Weizhou. I came to Wei Bo, but it was just a transit, and Wei Bo’s army dared to attack my Pinglu army? Then let Cao Zhongming take a look, and fight against me, what is the result!”
Speaking of this, Li Ye shook his sleeves, flicked the dust, and walked away without looking at Cao Xijin.
Behind him came Cao Xijin's uncontrollable screams.
...
In the middle of the night, Cao Zhongming paced back and forth in the room with an anxious expression and no sleepiness at all. He is also a high-ranking person who has experienced great storms, so he would not be so calm in ordinary times. But this time was different. Cao Xijin's military report made him restless.
A round of three thousand cavalry charged into battle, and a quarter of the ten thousand cavalry was lost. The opponent turned out to be a military general? In this world, how long has it been since there was a military general? The last time the world knew about military generals was during the Anshi Rebellion.
Thousands of casualties, although Cao Zhongming was in pain, he would not lose his composure like this, but the follow-up military report sent back from Bozhou made Cao Zhongming also feel shocking. Facing the siege of the Pinglu army, the casualties of the Bozhou defenders were too great, which was beyond expectations and unacceptable.
Cao Zhongming knew that Bozhou City could not be defended, so he urgently ordered 50,000 soldiers to help. Cao Xijin is his eldest son, and also the son with the best cultivation talent. In the future, he will inherit the mantle and become the military governor of Wei Bo! If something happened to Cao Xijin, Cao Zhongming couldn't bear it, and his wife would fight him desperately.
"Report! Commander-in-Chief, Bozhou Military Report, it's urgent!" The commander of the personal guards of the mansion rushed to the courtyard with a military report in his hand. Cao Zhongming had already asked the commander of the personal guards to wait outside the city, and told him to bring it back as soon as he got the military report.
Cao Zhongming stepped out and arrived in the courtyard. He took the military newspaper and unfolded it. After just a glance, he couldn't help shaking his body and his face changed drastically. People ambushed! Fifty thousand troops, countless casualties! What use do I want this kind of idiot?!"
Cao Jincheng is one of Cao Zhongming's most famous generals. He sent the other party to rescue Bozhou City, so he naturally valued the other party. Unexpectedly, it was such a bad news. For Cao Zhongming, this military report was like a bolt from the blue. Cao Jincheng failed to reach Bozhou, so wouldn't it be Bozhou City
"Pass me the commander-in-chief order to behead Cao Jincheng, so as to rectify the military law!" Cao Zhongming gritted his teeth with hatred. This military order made him unable to control his anger and anxiety any longer. Now, he is full of worries about Cao Xijin.
"King An, Li Ye! You are so ruthless! You are so ruthless!" Cao Zhongming crushed the military newspaper, the wind blew around him, and his aura exploded, "Li Ye, you bastard! How dare you treat me like this, Wei Bojun? ! You attack my city in a grand manner, and you plan to ambush my army. If you don't pay attention to me, Wei Bo, you are not afraid that I will die with you Pinglu?!"
Cao Zhongming turned around, and immediately ordered: "Call all the generals, I want to conquer Li Ye, that bastard!"
The soldiers immediately took the order, and went to pass the order without mentioning it.
From time to time, Cao Zhongming was sitting in the political affairs hall, and Wei Bo's senior officials and generals, as well as his confidants and staff, came one after another. Everyone gathered together to discuss the matter of sending troops to conquer Li Ye.
"Li Ye is so rampant, we must fight him forever!"
"Military Commander, the rescue of Bozhou is the most important thing right now, don't delay!"
"Li Ye is really insane. When he said he wanted to attack Hedong, I think he came for us at Weibo! This wolf is ambitious, so he must raise his army and wipe out Pinglu's army at Weibo, so that he can know how powerful he is!"
"Yes, this is the way to do it, let the court and the world know that Wei Bo is not easy to mess with!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, they all had the will to fight, and their morale was good. Cao Zhongming immediately made a decision: "Drop the garrisons from all states and gather in Weizhou. This commander must take down the head of that thief Li Ye..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice of the commander of the soldiers came from outside the hall, trembling with anxiety and panic: "Commander, the eldest son is back!"
"Young master?"
"The eldest son is back?"
Cao Zhongming was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but beam with joy. Regardless of whether Bozhou City is lost or not, Cao Xijin's return is good news for him. It's just a city, how can an heir be important
Cao Zhongming got up immediately, stepped outside the hall, and looked at the commander of the personal guards: "Where is my son?"
With just one glance, Cao Zhongming was stunned there. Contrary to what he expected, Cao Xijin did not stand in the courtyard, but was carried by four soldiers and lay on a wooden frame, covered in blood.
Cao Zhongming was startled, feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had stabbed him, and his breathing was out of rhythm. However, he still forced himself to be calm and walked towards Cao Xijin. In any case, as long as the person returns, even if he is slightly injured, it is not unacceptable. Jiedu Shi's mansion has many elixir, which can heal the wound.
"Father..." Cao Xijin woke up suddenly, arched his upper body vigorously, and looked at Cao Zhongming weakly.
Cao Zhongming saw Cao Xijin's appearance clearly, and his whole body became stiff as if struck by lightning. Cao Xijin's ears were gone, his hands and feet were cut off, leaving only four smooth wounds, wrapped in bloody cloth, his whole body was so weak that he seemed to have only one breath left.
"My son! How could this happen?!" Cao Xijin looked up to the sky and let out a mournful cry, and couldn't help spurting out a mouthful of blood.
