Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1234 Betrayal
Yang Feng pulled out the spear from the throat of the dead Wei general, rushed into the crowd with the spear in his hand, and the Wei soldiers were stabbed down one after another with the tip of the spear. Some Wei soldiers also stabbed Yang Feng with their spears, but were blocked by the armor on his body, and were then killed by Yang Feng's counterattack.

The deputy general who replaced the Wei general saw that every time Yang Feng stabbed a person, someone behind him would drag the Wei soldier's body to the side and start to remove the armor on his body. He immediately came to his senses and shouted, "They want to wear our armor!"

"Charge up and fight them. If they are wearing armor, it will be difficult to kill them!"

The Wei soldiers also knew that it was a life-and-death situation, and they rushed forward shouting. They were much stronger than the aristocratic servants led by Yang Feng in terms of both numbers and military strength, and they slowly turned the situation around.

When Yang Feng saw this, he felt anxious and wondered what Yuan Xi was doing outside the city and why he wasn't attacking the city yet?

Just as the number of her servants began to decrease, forcing Yang Feng to seek other methods, shouts of killing arose again from the distance on the long street. Hundreds of servants rushed over to join the battle and turned the situation around again.

These servants had also received instructions in advance to strip off the armor of dead people on the ground and wear them. As the number of them wearing armor increased, the casualties of the Wei soldiers began to drop sharply. As a result, Yang Feng regained the advantage.

The one giving the command from a distance at the back was Yang Xiu. He had secretly connected with several families over the past few days. Tonight, in conjunction with the changes in the city, he sent a message to each family, asking them to send out all their servants.

But Yang Xiu was still not satisfied with the number of people. In his opinion, it would be difficult for the few people sent by the gentry to capture a city gate, let alone attack the city gate. But the city had already been fully mobilized. If he did not take action, these people would no longer be of any use in the future. So he made up his mind and placed all his bets on it.

In a mansion not far away, Ding Yi stopped Cao Qing and advised, "Princess, the city is in chaos right now, you must not go out on the street."

Cao Qing glared at him, "Why, Yang Xiu can go, but I can't?"

"Besides, Yang Xiu has already gone to the streets, what are you doing here?"

Ding Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The Emperor Dezu asked me to watch over the Princess in order to prevent the current situation."

Cao Qing sneered, "One of you two brothers followed me, and the other followed my third brother. Those who didn't know would think I was locked up."

"Also, don't call me Princess anymore. I'm a rebel now."

Ding Yi hesitated, then smiled bitterly and said, "Princess... why did you betray the king?"

"After all, they are biological father and daughter. It's not to the point of breaking up, right?"

After hearing this, Cao Qing burst out laughing and said, "I forgot that you two brothers have a grudge against Xionghu."

"Then go, go back to your father, he will probably forgive you."

"How about you tie me up and bring me to father to ask for credit?"

Ding Chong said in a hoarse voice: "The Princess knows that I won't do that, so why make fun of me?"

Cao Qing sneered and said, "So what do you want to do? Join me in joining the fierce tiger who killed my father?"

Ding Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the princess force me to leave? And judging from the princess's words, she is very familiar with Xionghu. Is it true that the princess and Xionghu..."

Cao Qing became angry, "You have no right to interfere in this matter!"

"I warn you, don't mention the word fierce tiger again!"

Ding Yi could no longer control his emotions and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why can't I say it?"

"The princess and I are engaged!"

Cao Qing said disdainfully: "Engagement?"

"Did it be my father who agreed or my mother who nodded?"

"Besides, I am no longer a member of the Cao family. Don't mention this matter again in the future."

Ding Chong's face turned pale when he heard this, and he clenched his fists tightly inside his sleeves.

While the two were arguing, Ding Yi was accompanying Cao Zhi in the back room. Seeing Cao Zhi's restless look, he thought for a while and said, "The fourth young master also knows the news just now."

"The Wei army has opened the west gate and started to retreat. I'm afraid Yecheng can't be defended."

"The King and Queen will definitely leave as well. After they part now, I'm afraid you won't see them for the next ten years, or even your entire life."

"Have you made up your mind, Mr. Four?"

Cao Zhi's face was extremely tangled. He murmured, "Father and mother, are you all leaving?"

"them……"

Ding Yi took the opportunity to say, "That's right, Mr. Si San, you have to think carefully. You are different from the eldest princess. The eldest princess must have found a way out long ago, but where is Mr. Si San's way out?"

Cao Zhi murmured, "A way out... a way out... my sister and I..."

Ding Yi said softly, "The Fourth Young Master also knows that the eldest princess has been acting unpredictably since she returned from Shouchun. I'm afraid she has had some connection with the evil tiger."

"If she helps Xionghu to conquer Yecheng, she will have no worries about her future with this achievement. But if the Fourth Young Master joins Xionghu, what benefits can he get?"

"Xionghu treats the nobles badly, especially since the king has a grudge against him for exterminating his clan. If the fourth prince surrenders to him, can he still drink and have fun all day and live a carefree life?"

"Liu Biao's two sons were fighting for Jingzhou. The fourth son went to the fierce tiger and did nothing. What can he give to the fourth and third sons?"

After hearing this, Cao Zhi became even more hesitant and murmured, "I...I...but my second brother won't let me..." Ding Yi said in a deep voice, "How is that possible? After all, they are brothers. Besides, with the king, they will be able to resolve their differences sooner or later."

"When the Cao family takes over the world, the Fourth Prince will be made a marquis and a king. It will be better than being under the control of the enemy Xionghu, right?"

Cao Zhi could not help but nod his head repeatedly, and then he reacted, "Salute, are you unwilling to surrender because the fierce tiger is the enemy who killed your father?"

"Then why did you betray Father with the four friends?"

Ding Yi thought to himself, do I really want to?
The Yingchuan faction took action and did not give me any second choice. What else could I do?
My brother was also bewitched by the beauty of the princess, and did not think about it. If the two of us brothers surrendered to Xionghu, the enemy who killed our father, would we be able to hold our heads up high from now on?
He sighed and said, "Fourth Master, I never intended to betray Cao from the beginning to the end."

"It's the same with the Fourth Young Master. Your roots are in the Cao family. If you surrender to a vicious tiger, you won't be able to live a peaceful life. Many officials and generals in the Jin State have sworn feuds with the Cao family. After the Fourth Young Master passes away, will your second half of life be peaceful?"

Cao Zhi was completely persuaded and said, "Then the meaning of salute..."

Ding Yi said decisively: "The city is in chaos now. Let's leave the palace and head west. Maybe we can run into the king."

"The Fourth Young Master and the King can admit their mistakes and the matter will be over."

Cao Zhi listened, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the salute!"

He then said, "Then Sister and Zhengli..."

Ding Yi gritted his teeth and said, "This is an urgent matter, let's ignore them."

Cao Zhi was stunned. "This... is to abandon them?"

"Shouldn't we ask them what they think first..."

Ding Yi said anxiously, "Brother wants to follow the princess. The princess is Xionghu's man. If we tell others now, will they let us go?"

Cao Zhi stammered, "What should we do now?"

Ding Yi pulled Cao Zhi up and walked towards the back door, "We're leaving now!"

"I have arranged for someone to guard the back door in advance. Once we get to the street and go north for two streets, there will be a carriage. We will then go to the west gate to meet the king!"

Ding Yi and Cao Qing had argued for a few more sentences, and his chest was heaving with anger. He even had a thought in his mind: if he tied up Cao Qing and sent her to Cao Cao, would the guilt of his two brothers be…

Then his body shook. If this was the case, Cao Qing would definitely hate him for the rest of her life. So what was the point of doing all this?
At this time, Cao Qing said, "At this time, is there any need for us to quarrel?"

"You don't have to worry. King Jin is a good man. He will definitely treat you brothers well."

Ding Yi raised his head and saw a barely perceptible smile on Cao Qing's face when she mentioned the word "King of Jin". His heart ached. Did something happen to you in Shouchun?
I'm afraid you've already done everything you should and shouldn't do, right?

He bit his lip tightly and was about to speak when a servant came running over in a panic, "Oh no, oh no!"

Ding Yi was annoyed and shouted, "What's wrong?"

"Crow's Mouth!"

The servant stopped immediately and said anxiously, "The fourth young master is missing!"

"What!" Cao Qing and Ding Yi were shocked. They hurried back into the house and found that Cao Cao and Ding Yi were gone. Based on the description of the servants, they rushed to the back door, but found it was ajar. It was obvious that they left from here.

When Cao Qing saw this, she realized what was going on and sighed, "I pushed my fourth brother too hard."

"Well, after all, his relatives are all in Cao's house, unlike me. Let her be."

Ding Yi had a grim expression on his face, he had not expected Ding Yi to abandon him. Come to think of it, Xiong Hu was the murderer of their father. Maybe Ding Yi felt that he was too close to Cao Qing, so he left without saying goodbye?
The two looked at each other, and Cao Qing said, "Let's go, let's leave too."

Ding Yi subconsciously asked, "Where to go?"

Cao Qing replied: "East Gate."

"The King of Jin is attacking this gate. If the gate is broken, we will be safe."

Inside Cao Cao's mansion, Madam Bian and Cao Pi were hurriedly packing their luggage. They had just received the news half a minute later that Cao Cao was actually going to leave Yecheng tonight, and all his family members would leave in a quarter of an hour!
This made them panic as they were unprepared, and they quickly packed their luggage. Cao Pi was the fastest and only took some clothes and went to Mrs. Bian's room, but saw Mrs. Bian picking and choosing things on the bed, hesitant.

Cao Pi hurried forward and said to Madam Bian, "Mother, hurry up and leave. It will be too late if you leave later!"

"These things are just a burden. What can't we buy when we return to Xudu?"

Madam Bian shed tears and said, "These are all used by your fourth brother. It is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. Even if he survives, I am afraid he will have a hard life in the future. I am really worried about him."

Cao Pi felt unhappy. Everyone liked Cao Zhi, but he betrayed his father!

I am the only one who is loyal to the Cao family, but why do everyone like Cao Zhi more!

Just as he was about to speak, a maid rushed in in a panic, "Madam, Madam, the Fourth Young Master is back!"
