"..." Cao Cao fell silent after hearing Bai Ren's words, then looked at Bai Ren and said to Bai Ren with some emotion: "Sometimes, we know it's wrong, but we still have to do it. As a superior, you have to be unprepared for some things, and you have to do it!"
"When I took refuge in Sikong back then, Sikong promised me a few conditions, but now it seems that Sikong has broken his promise!" Seeing Cao Cao's bitter expression, Bai Ren said to Cao Cao with a wry smile on his lips.
"Trust, in this troubled world, trust has long been gone. You are a smart person, but don't you understand such a simple thing?" Cao Cao clapped his hands silently after listening to Bai Ren's words, and saw someone coming from behind the door. A dozen knife and axemen walked in.
Bai Ren watched Cao Cao call in the knife and axe, his expression became a little nervous, and he asked Cao Cao with some doubts: "Sikong, are you really going to kill me?"
"Sometimes, I have to kill. You know, you are the sharp long sword. I hope you will kill the most ferocious enemy, but I am also afraid that the sharp long sword will hurt yourself!" Cao Cao looked at Behind Bai Ren, the knife and axe who surrounded Bai Ren looked at Bai Ren who was still sitting in the original position, and said with a serious expression.
"So, now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, Sikong doesn't need a sharp sword anymore, but Sikong, it doesn't matter if I die, but if Sili and Qingzhou rebel and fall into Yuan Shao's hands, Sikong is willing!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao, gritted his teeth, and said to Cao Cao in a somewhat fierce tone.
"Bai Zifu, you dare to threaten the old man! Aren't you afraid of the swordsman behind you?" Cao Cao shouted at Bai Ren with a slightly angry face after hearing Bai Ren's words.
Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao's appearance, and said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but sometimes even if it's death, you can pull a back, which may be a good thing, by the way, outside Xuchang city , as long as I don't go back tonight, I'm afraid the whole Xuchang will be crushed, doesn't Sikong want to try how powerful the camp is?"
Seeing Bai Ren's appearance, Cao Cao hesitated in his heart. He also knew that he was trapped in the camp. He was not weaker than the special cavalry Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and even stronger.And when he came back this time, Cao Cao brought back [-] soldiers and horses, half of which were under the command of Bai Ren. If it was true as Bai Ren said, Xuchang might really be in chaos!
"Bai Zifu, you are so ruthless! I admire you a little, but your existence makes me uncomfortable!" Cao Cao began to hesitate when he saw Bai Ren's appearance, and finally said helplessly to Bai Ren.
Chapter 454 Retiring
"If Sikong can't tolerate me, I, Bai Zifu, am willing to give up my military power, live in seclusion in the mountains and never care about world affairs! I don't know if Sikong is willing to spare my life!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao's sinister eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. asked Cao Cao.
Cao Cao listened to Bai Ren's words, looked at the knife-axe behind Bai Ren who was eager to try, carefully put down the wine glass in his hand, waved his hand, and signaled the knife-axe to go down.
Seeing Cao Cao's actions, Bai Ren pondered for a moment in his heart. It seemed that Cao Cao did not dare to risk the disgrace of the world by beheading such a hero with many military exploits like himself.
"But, if you defected to other princes, wouldn't it be a serious problem for me!" Cao Cao asked Bai Ren with a heavy tone, looking at Bai Ren's appearance.
Bai Ren hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao with a serious tone: "I am willing to leave my family as hostages in Xuchang. Can Sikong rest assured?"
Seeing Bai Ren like this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and finally said to Bai Ren in a heavy tone, "You little bastard, get out!"
Looking at Cao Cao's appearance, Bai Ren was slightly astonished, then stood up cautiously, saluted Cao Cao, and prepared to leave Cao Cao's hall.
"Tomorrow morning, remember to come here!" Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's leaving back, and said to Bai Ren with a heavy tone.
Bai Ren suddenly heard Cao Cao's words, paused a few times, then nodded, and finally left slowly.
"If there is no one who can restrain and restrain you, how dare I use you! Bai Zifu, you really embarrass this old man!" Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's leaving back, said with some emotion, and finally got up slowly, silently Go to your own study.
"Are you okay!" As soon as Bai Ren came back, his wives and friends surrounded him and asked nervously looking at Bai Ren's appearance.
Bai Ren smiled, and then said in a serious tone to the people around him who cared and loved him: "I'm tired, I'm afraid I need to rest for a while, and I can finally relax."
"Master, the letters from Zhang Liao and General Gao Shun have been sent out, do you want to get them back?" Liu Ye who was on the side looked at Bai Ren's relaxed expression and asked Bai Ren quickly.
"Chasing back! Of course chasing back!" Bai Ren heard Liu Ye's words, and hurriedly said to Liu Ye, if Zhang Liao and Gao Shun mobilized troops, Cao Cao might really kill himself!
"Don't chase! I've already stopped it!"
At this time, Jia Xu with a calm face came out, and said to Bai Ren with an extremely calm expression.
Bai Ren looked at Jia Xu and nodded. With Jia Xu at least he has less worries.
"If you want to make contributions, you can go to Zixiu and I will write a letter myself! He will recommend you of course!" Cao Cao looked at his followers and said in a heavy tone.
Zhang He Gaolan glanced at each other, and said to Bai Ren in a calm tone: "Cao Gong may still want to fight Yuan Gonggong, we two do not want to be enemies with Yuan Gong, I am afraid we can only follow General Bai in the future, by the way Learn a little martial art and art of war!"
Liao Hua, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang on the side smiled, looked at Bai Ren and said with a smile: "Our glory is obtained by following the young master, now wherever the young master goes, we will go there, so we can have a companion to enjoy This life!"
Zang Ba was silent at this time, then looked at Bai Ren, and said respectfully: "Zifu, I'm sorry, I want to make a contribution, I'm afraid I will trouble Zifu!"
"Zang Ba, you!" Pan Zhang looked at Zang Ba and said to Zang Ba angrily.
"Everyone has their own destiny, and I don't force it!" Bai Ren looked at Zang Ba, seeing Zang Ba's shame-faced expression, he quickly said to Pan Zhang.
Pan Zhang saw that Bai Ren had said that, and turned his head a little dissatisfied.
"Are you still willing to follow me?" Bai Ren looked at Jia Xu and the others again.
Without much hesitation, Jia Xu and the others nodded to Bai Ren, expressing their willingness to follow Bai Ren.
Bai Ren saw that although he had lost some things, he was still a bit civil and military, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Master, I'm afraid I have to go to Jiangdong! My father has already moved his family to Jiangdong, so I..." At this moment, 13-year-old Ding Feng came out and said to Bai Ren with a cautious expression.
Bai Ren looked at Ding Feng, smiled slightly, and said to Ding Feng in a calm tone: "Go back! It's nice to go home, but don't ruin Master's reputation!"
After listening to Bai Ren's words, Ding Feng kowtowed to Bai Ren a few times in shame, and then left to pack his things.
Bai Ren looked at his mansion, the honor has become a thing of the past, and Bai Ren will live a life of no official and light life in the future.
In the early morning of the next day, under the service of Zhen Mi, Bai Ren put on the court clothes, and then went to the court hall. Bai Ren subconsciously thought that this was probably the last time he went to court, and he might have to wait until he went to court again. It's been years!
"There is something to play, nothing to leave the court!" The little eunuch looked at the drowsy court, and said in a helpless tone.
Now this matter has already been settled in Sikong's mansion outside the court hall, this morning court is nothing more than a formality.
Just when the little eunuch was about to announce his resignation, Cao Cao suddenly stood up from his seat, then bowed to Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a heavy expression, and spoke hoarsely to Liu Xie. Xie said: "I have something to announce!"
"What's the matter with Sikong! Tell me!" Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao at the bottom, and said to Cao Cao with a gloomy expression. Now the first enemy in Liu Xie's heart is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is not eliminated, he Liu Xie will never die. Master the power of the Han Dynasty.
"My lord, I impeach Bai Ren, the governor of Qingzhou, for disobeying the imperial court's order and using weapons!" Cao Cao looked at Han Emperor Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair, and said to Han Emperor Liu Xie in a heavy tone.
At this time, Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao in a daze, and then at Bai Ren who was indifferent and speechless. Aren't you two guys in the same group?Why did you suddenly impeach your own people?
At this time, Han Emperor Liu Xie couldn't figure out his own mind, but looking at Cao Cao's straight eyes, he said to Cao Cao in a serious tone: "I don't know how Sikong thinks he should be punished?"
Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren, finally made up his mind, and said to Han Emperor Liu Xie in a heavy tone: "Remove all official positions and demote to common people!"
"Just listen to Sikong!" Han Emperor Liu Xie was still at a loss in his mind at this time, but Cao Cao said so, Han Emperor Liu Xie had no choice but to perfunctory.
Bai Ren listened to Han Emperor Liu Xie's words, and silently took off his court clothes, then saluted Han Emperor Liu Xie with a relaxed tone, silently put his court clothes on the ground, and then said in a calm tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Sikong!"
So under the watchful eyes of all the officials, Bai Ren left with a cheerful expression, leaving only Bai Ren's bleak figure behind.
"Are you back?" Zhen Mi was dressing up in the room, seeing Bai Ren's joyful expression when he opened the door, asked Bai Ren with a slightly excited expression.
"Without an official, I'm light. Now that I've been demoted to a commoner, I can do whatever I want now!" Bai Ren looked at Zhen Mi's gaze, and said in a relaxed tone.
"Then husband, what are you going to do?" Zhen Mi looked at Bai Ren's relaxed and happy look, and asked Bai Ren in a relaxed tone.
Bai Ren looked at the sun that had just risen in the sky, hurriedly walked to the bed, and then said with a chuckle: "Don't worry about anything else, I'll go back to sleep first, I haven't slept peacefully for a long time!"
Bai Ren collapsed on the bed, slowly breathing began to sound, Zhen Mi looked at Bai Ren's tired face with a slight pity, after all, Bai Ren was really tired these days.
Since Bai Ren left, Cao Ying's personnel has undergone tremendous changes. First of all, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun chose to follow Bai Ren, and Gao Shun's camp had to be handed over to Cao Ang as a personal soldier. As for Zang Ba, he was also recommended by Cao Ang. Xia became the governor of Taishan County, and Xiang Cheng was also transferred back, ascending and descending secretly, and became Zhijinwu.
