Ever since Cao Chun saw Bai Feng, he had a good impression of him.
He could defeat the Crouching Dragon Stratagem.
He could defeat Guan Zhang in martial arts.
Cao Chun had always advocated heroism.
In Cao Chun's eyes, this kind of person was simply the most ideal hero and the object of worship.
Therefore, Cao Chun tried his best to help Bai Feng from the beginning and made things easier for Bai Feng.
Even after Cao Hong and Xu Chu attacked Bai Feng, Cao Chun had always been inclined to support Bai Feng, whom he had just met.
Although Cao Chun was Cao Cao's younger brother and had a very high status, he was sincerely convinced by Bai Feng.
Now that Bai Feng was almost condemned in speech and writing, when no one dared to step forward, Cao Chun stood up.
However, at this moment, a person's expression was not very good.
This person was Cao Pi.
Cao Pi and Cao Chun looked at Bai Feng almost the same, but Cao Chun admired Bai Feng, while Cao Pi tried his best to win him over.
When he was about to kill himself in despair, it was Bai Feng who appeared and turned the tide. Later, he used a trick to force the Xiliang Army to retreat.
Cao Pi was very short of such talents.
When Cao Cao asked the question just now, Cao Pi was still considering whether to go forward and plead for Bai Feng.
At this time, he had just received his father's approval. Cao Pi knew that if he went forward now, he was afraid that his previous efforts would be in vain, so he hesitated.
At this moment, Cao Chun stood up. Cao Pi now knew that even if he stood up, Bai Feng would probably not remember his good deeds.
No one would remember the second place.
This was the biggest truth that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had always known when competing for favor.
Seeing that Cao Chun stood in front of Bai Feng and wanted to be punished for Bai Feng, Cao Cao's face showed a meaningful smile.
Seeing that Cao Chun was so reckless, Bai Feng frowned slightly and said in a low voice,
"I did this in the first place. Zihe, if you protect me like this, the Prime Minister will definitely make things difficult for you. At that time, won't you implicate yourself?"
"Besides, even if the Prime Minister doesn't blame you, if you offend the nobles for me, what will you do in the future?"
"Back off!"
Cao Chun heard it clearly, but he still stood in front of Bai Feng and refused to take a step back.
"Zihe has never submitted to anyone in my life. Sir, you're the only one. Zihe won't give in!"
Bai Zihe was very well understood the current situation.
Long before this, Bai Feng had been thinking about how to deal with the matter of killing Chen Deng.
Cao Cao didn't really want to punish him. This time, he just asked for the nobles to see.
Chen Deng was far less useful to Cao Cao than he was to him. Killing him because of Chen Deng was a loss that Boss Cao would never do.
Besides, Cao Cao had always wanted to make trouble for the powerful nobles.
However, there were many nobles in the Cao Family. If he didn't give the nobles an explanation, this matter would be very troublesome.
Wasn't it just an explanation?
Bai Feng smiled and gently pulled Cao Chun back. He stood in front of Cao Chun, raised the Qing Fu in his hand, and said with a smile,
"I know that killing Mr. Chen is a great sin."
"But the situation was indeed urgent. If it delayed the arrival of reinforcements to Xuchang, it was very likely that Xuchang would be attacked."
"Although I didn't have full confidence that I could withstand it, as long as the reinforcements arrived, even if there weren't many of them, it would greatly affect the morale of the Xiliang Army."
"But Mr. Chen obstructed me in every way possible. I was really helpless."
"I am willing to return the Qing Fu that the Prime Minister gave me. I will bear all the responsibility!"
"Sir!"
Cao Chun was so anxious that he almost died. He wanted to go forward but was stopped by Bai Feng.
Cao Chun knew his brother's character too well. If he really wanted to blame Bai Feng, he would probably be killed no matter how great his contributions were!
This was not a joke at all!
Not to mention Bai Feng, even he and Cao Ren would not be able to escape punishment if they touched the nobles.
This was a great crime for killing a nobleman. Bai Feng was only a commoner now. At most, he was only a small Deputy Censor. How could he bear this crime?
Cao Cao saw this but did not say anything. Instead, he sat in the main hall and looked at Bai Feng quietly.
All the civil and military officials in the main hall felt their emotions fluctuating like an electrocardiogram.
No one knew what the Prime Minister would do.
Bai Feng was a meritorious official, a meritorious official.
But Chen Deng was the leader of the nobles. It could be said that he represented the face of the nobles.
It seemed inappropriate to touch either side.
Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and looked at his father quietly.
If he was in the same situation, what would he do?
Although the nobles were important, there was only one Bai Feng. He was an indispensable talent and no one could replace him. Other than Bai Feng, who else in the court could break Zhuge Kongming's plan?
Who else could defeat Guan and Zhang alone and come up with a brilliant plan to force the Xiliang Army, which was ten times stronger, to retreat?
Not to mention one person, even if all the civil and military officials in the court were tied together, they would not be as good as Bai Feng!
Cao Pi thought it through. If it were him, he would make Bai Feng stay even if he had to offend the nobles!
But Cao Pi did not know what his father would do.
Since he was young, he had never guessed his father's decision.
Xun You frowned slightly. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Although Xun You was also a nobleman, he did not care much about this.
However, Xun You had truly seen Bai Feng's talent.
Xun You had guessed that when Bai Feng wanted to lead the army to help, Chen Deng and the others would stop him.
Bai Feng had a lot of killing intent toward the enemy, but toward the Cao army, he cared about each and every one of them.
At that time, the Xiliang Army had just broken into the city. If the guards and archers stayed a little longer, they could kill more of the Xiliang Army.
But Bai Feng did not do that. Instead, he asked them to retreat as soon as possible.
Because Bai Feng knew that if they stayed, these soldiers would die without a doubt! So Bai Feng focused all the danger on himself and attracted the attention of Liu Bei and the others.
The stalemate lasted for about half an hour.
Cao Cao finally stood up and narrowed his eyes.
"Sigh … Chen Xiaolian's death made me sad!"
"Every time I think about it, I feel terrible!"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone was shocked!
From the Prime Minister's words, could it be that he was going to punish Bai Feng?!
Killing a nobleman was not a small crime. He could be punished or demoted.
That was a serious crime that could be beheaded!
If he really wanted to win over the noblemen, killing Bai Feng would be the most effective way.
Cao Chun wanted to step forward and persuade him, but he was stopped by Bai Feng.
