Cao Liang said: "As long as Duke Ziyu is willing to withdraw his troops and make a truce, I personally guarantee that I will never hurt Duke Ziyu even a hair. I wonder what Duke Ziyu's will be?"

Previously, Cao Liang was preparing to attack Zhuge Jin's camp without thinking too much. If he could kill Zhuge Jin in the chaos, that would be the best.

But now Cao Liang has changed his mind. If Zhuge Jin's head can be exchanged for the retreat of the entire Southern Wei army, this deal is still the most cost-effective.

Cao Liang is not the kind of person who breaks his word. As long as Zhuge Jin is willing to agree to his conditions, it is not a bad idea to let him go. Compared with the lives of thousands of Wei soldiers, his achievement of capturing the enemy's general's head is worth it.

It seems insignificant.

Zhuge Jin sneered and said: "Trading can only be done by people of equal status. At this time, you are the swordsman and I am the flesh and blood. In this case, I am very sorry. I refuse to negotiate any deal with you. If you want to

If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

After that, he simply closed his eyes slightly again and ignored Cao Liang.

Cao Liang didn't expect Zhuge Jin's attitude to be so decisive, not even giving him any room for negotiation. It seemed that this matter was really difficult to handle.

Fang Bu whispered: "Young master, you cannot stay here for a long time. You must stop it, otherwise you will suffer chaos."

Sneaking into the enemy's commander's camp was originally an extremely dangerous thing, but now that he has captured the enemy's commander, this is undoubtedly a hot potato that he is reluctant to throw away, but cannot hold in his hands.

The current situation is actually very dangerous. The Wu soldiers in the camp don't know yet that their general has been captured. If they know about it, they will definitely come to rescue them at all costs. By then, they will be surrounded by thousands of enemy troops and want to leave.

Taking it off will be very difficult.

And it was only a matter of time before this news leaked out, because Zhuge Jin could not stay in the camp all the time without going out or contacting people outside. Once people outside wanted to see Zhuge Jin, they would be exposed in minutes.

Therefore, Fang Bu advised Cao Liang not to follow Zhuge Jin Moji. We came in to take the enemy's general's head. Once we had taken it, we left as quickly as possible. The longer we delay, the more danger we will face.

But Cao Liang always felt that simply killing Zhuge Jin was not as valuable as capturing Zhuge Jin alive. Zhuge Jin alone was related to the life and death of 30,000 Wei soldiers. If Cao Liang killed him easily, it would be a waste of natural resources.

.

However, Zhuge Jin refused to cooperate, which made Cao Liang a little troubled. If Zhuge Jin was willing to agree, Cao Liang would be relieved. With just one order, he could rescue the Wei army who was trapped in a tight siege.

Cao Liang thought for a while, and the other party said: "Take him away to a safe area and then think of a way."

Fang Bu was a little stunned. Breaking through with a human head and a large living person, this difficulty is not the same as the quantity. The difficulty is more than doubled.

Zhuge Jin was also extremely shocked. He did not want to become a prisoner of the Wei State and suffer humiliation. At his age, he had already had no desires and desires. Living was not the only pursuit. Living in humiliation was better than death.

It must be a vigorous death, and a worthy death.

Fang Bu was a little helpless. In his opinion, Cao Liang's move was a bit willful, but seeing Cao Liang's resolute attitude, Fang Bu had no choice but to step forward and reach out to pull Zhuge Jin.

But when he pulled it, he realized something was wrong. Zhuge Jin's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were blurred, and he was on the verge of death. Upon closer inspection, Fang Bu found that a dagger was deeply embedded in Zhuge Jin's abdomen, and there was blood.

There has been a big puddle.

It turned out that Zhuge Jin did not want to be a prisoner of the Wei State and committed suicide. However, he had been kneeling on the table before. There was a table in front of him, blocking other people's sight. If Fang Bu had not stepped forward to pull it, it would have been really difficult.

Can't be found.

"Young Master" Fang Bu stopped and called Cao Liang.

Cao Liang had already walked towards the entrance of the tent, ready to take a look at the situation outside. When Fang Bu shouted, he turned around and found that Zhuge Jin had committed suicide.

Zhuge Jin stabbed his abdomen with a knife. Logically speaking, this process was extremely painful, but there was no look of pain on his face. Instead, he looked calm and calm.

Cao Liang couldn't help but shrugged. He didn't expect that Zhuge Jin, a Confucian scholar, would be so resolute and decisive. He would rather die than make a deal with him or become a slave of Wei.

"What are you doing?" Cao Liang sighed. In fact, Cao Liang respected Zhuge Jin very much. If he really wanted Cao Liang to chop off his head while he was still alive, Cao Liang really couldn't do it.

.

In fact, Zhuge Jin only needed to agree to Cao Liang's deal and order the other battalions to stop encirclement and suppression and give up the attack, and he would be safe and sound.

But Zhuge Jin did not choose to submit, but resorted to death to defend his dignity throughout his life.

Cao Liang was in awe and mourned for him for three seconds in his heart. Such an old man, who was nearly 70 years old, was more like a fighter at this moment. He regarded death as home and committed suicide calmly. Even ordinary people really couldn't do it.

Now that Zhuge Jin is dead, Cao Liang no longer needs to stay here. He was about to tell Fang Bu to leave, but he saw Fang Bu raise his knife and chop off Zhuge Jin's head.

"What are you..." Cao Liang was horrified. From the perspective of respecting the deceased, he was still prepared to leave a whole body for Zhuge Jin.

While Fang Bu picked up Zhuge Jin's head from the ground, he found a thicker piece of cloth and wrapped it up.

"Young Master, this head is the step for you to advance. How can you give up such a great achievement?"

Cao Liang didn't say anything anymore. He didn't explore whether what Fang Bu did was right or wrong. From the perspective of respecting the deceased, it was okay to leave Zhuge Jin's whole body, but Cao Liang's achievements were not

No, in this era where heads are the only thing, he can only achieve meritorious service by cutting off the enemy's head.

So Cao Liang didn't say anything else. Fang Bu had already chopped off Zhuge Jin's head anyway, and it was useless to say anything more. He took one last look at Zhuge Jin's body. The headless body looked very terrifying.

Cao Liang and his party quietly left the camp again and were about to leave.

But as soon as he left the tent, he saw Chang Shi He Ji hurried over with two hundred people, and went straight to the general's camp, obviously heading for Zhuge Jin.

Moreover, they came very quickly, as if they were in an emergency. They arrived in the blink of an eye. Cao Liang tried to dodge, but was unable to do so, and collided head-on with He Ji.

When He Ji saw Cao Liang's unfamiliar face, his expression suddenly changed. You must know that Zhuge Jin has never been surrounded by outsiders of unknown origins. At this moment, Cao Liang and his party were all strangers. He Ji couldn't help but conclude
