Your current allies, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, are still worried about your pro-Tao attitude and have doubts. My lord, if you don't take practical actions to prove that you have made a clean break with Tao Ying, and our army's civil and military officials will not

I believe you will definitely avenge your old lord, and Liu Bei cannot believe that you will work together with him."

"Even if this is the case, I can't do it." Cao Ang still refused, and said in a sad tone: "If they want to doubt it, just doubt it. There are things that men do and things they don't do. I will never do such a thing as killing the envoy.

Do it!”

"Trouble, I didn't expect the son of traitor Cao to be so stubborn." Sima Yi was discouraged, and after thinking about it again, Sima Yi reluctantly changed his words and said: "My lord, since you don't want to kill the envoy, then let's just ask my subordinates to come forward and kill him."

Jiang Gan captured it, put it in a prison car and took it to Chencang to present to Liu Bei, so that the same effect can be achieved."

"Isn't that the same?" Cao Ang said angrily: "I captured Mr. Jiang Qian and took him to Chencang to present to Liu Bei. Liu Bei chopped him with a knife. Shouldn't the sin be placed on me?"

"Lord, what are you in a hurry for?" Sima Yi said with a smile: "There is a distance of four hundred and fifty miles from Chang'an to Chencang. It cannot be completed in one day. If Mr. Jiang Qian took the opportunity to escape during the journey, wouldn't all the problems be easily solved?

Already?"

Cao Ang raised his head fiercely and stared at Sima Yi for a long time. Cao Ang finally showed a smile and said: "I am really a wise man, but you have to make it clear to Mr. Ziyi that I did this because of the pressure from my father's old ministers.

Please make sure Tao Shijun understands my difficulties."

"Sure enough, I was still thinking about asking Taiwei Tao to surrender. Unfortunately, you don't have this opportunity. None of your Cao family has this opportunity! On the way, I chopped Jiang Gan with a knife and sent his head to Liu Bei.

, put all the blame on you and see how Taiwei Tao forgives you in the future!"

Sima Yi snorted coldly in his heart, but said respectfully on his face: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely let Mr. Tao Taiwei and Mr. Ziyi understand your difficulties."

………………

At noon that day, in the mourning hall of Boss Cao, in front of a group of important civil and military officials of Cao's army, Cao Ang announced the news that Deputy Director Tao had sent Jiang Gan to pay his respects. Then, without waiting for the generals such as Dian Wei and Cao Hong present to roar, Cao Ang immediately announced

He accepted Sima Yi's persuasion and decided to capture Jiang Gan, put him in a prison car and take him to Chencang to hand over to Uncle Liu Huang. As a result, although the anger of the generals in Cao's army subsided, they also became angry.

He persuaded Cao Ang not to hand over Jiang Qian to Liu Huangshu, and suggested that Jiang Qian be taken directly to the grave of Cao Lao and be beheaded to pay homage. Cao Ang refused to comply with the excuse that the two countries were in conflict, and insisted on ordering Jiang Qian to be taken to Chencang.

It was handed over to Emperor Liu's uncle to show his sincerity in forming an alliance. The generals of Cao's army, who had been worried about the ambiguous relationship between Cao Ang and the Xuzhou Army, saw that Cao Ang was finally determined to cut off the Xuzhou Army, but they reluctantly accepted Cao Ang's decision.

Two days later, Cao Ang's order was sent to Tongguan. Cao Ren, who was guarding the pass, mourned the death of his cousin and carried out Cao Ang's order without hesitation. He ordered Jiang Gan to be put into a prison car and taken to Chang'an to be dealt with by Cao Ang. Jiang Gan's other followers

He was expelled back to Hongnong by Cao Ren and reported to Deputy Director Tao.

Xin. Regarding Cao Jun's act of avenging kindness, Jiang Gan's followers cried bitterly, but Jiang Gan himself was calm and composed. He walked into the prison car with his head held high and followed Cao Jun into the pass magnanimously. He looked calm and composed.

Even Cao Jun's officers secretly admired his demeanor.

If things go smoothly, then Mr. Jiang Qian's life may be in his own hands, and Sima Yi can successfully achieve his goal of making it difficult for Deputy Director Tao to forgive Cao Ang. However, Sima Yi forgot one thing, that is

The distance from Chang'an to Chencang is 450 Hanli, which cannot be covered in one day. The distance from Tongguan to Chang'an is also 370 Hanli, which cannot be covered in one day. So on the way, an accident happened.

…………

The accident happened on the official road between Zhengxian County and Xinfeng. When the Cao Jun army escorting Mr. Jiang Qian was heading westward, a group of Cao Jun soldiers with bright armor came face to face. The leader of Cao Jun Du Bo came to escort Jiang Qian.

The commander of Cao's army showed Cao Ang's personal

The commander of Cao Ren's army issued an order to hand over Jiang Gan to him. The commander of Cao Ren's army verified that the official document was correct, and immediately carried out Cao Ang's order, handed over Mr. Jiang Gan to Cao Jun's uncle, and returned on his own.

Arrive at Tongguan and deliver orders to Cao Ren.

When the team that had escorted Jiang Gan went far away, the Cao soldiers immediately turned south and escorted Mr. Jiang Gan deep into the forest of the Qinling Mountains. Then they released the confused Mr. Jiang Gan from the prison car.

He also provided dry food and a change of clothes to Mr. Jiang Gan, and finally pointed out the mountain path for Mr. Jiang Gan to bypass Tongguan and escape back to Hongnong.

He thought he was going to die but unexpectedly escaped death. Jiang Qian was surprised and happy, and asked who was entrusting this group of Cao soldiers. The leader of the Cao army, Du Bo, told Mr. Jiang Qian that he was indeed under Cao Ang's order.

To release Mr. Jiang Qian, it also shows that Cao Ang was unable to withstand the pressure of Cao Jun’s veterans and was forced to act like this.

Sincerely, I asked Mr. Jiang Qian to report truthfully to Deputy Director Tao after he fled back to the Xuzhou Army. Mr. Jiang Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Cao Jundu Bo who was sent by Cao Ang. Then he quickly took a small road and fled back to Hongnong -

—Mr. Jiang Qian is not afraid of death, but if he has the chance to survive, Mr. Jiang Qian still doesn’t want to die.

Looking at the back of Mr. Jiang Gan hurriedly escaping into the mountains, Uncle Cao Jun, who had rescued Jiang Gan, showed a proud smile and whispered to his companions: "It's done, leave the prison car here so that Tongguan can have clues to pursue it. Find someone."
