    Chapter 2869: Fu Youde was in a mishap, and Kong Xuan angrily killed Cao Qiudao


    Both in the officialdom and in the army, there is a tradition of bosses making mistakes and subordinates taking the blame.


    Don’t think that this is a bad thing. Many people will even rush to take the blame for their boss, because this is an opportunity to charm the boss and become the other party’s confidant.


    Of course, with Fu Youde''s political attributes, he must have never thought so much.


    Fu Youde''s identity as a surrendered general is quite embarrassing, and what''s even more embarrassing is that Bai Qi gave him the opportunity to lead the army, but he couldn''t grasp it either.


    Although this cannot be blamed on him, it will undoubtedly affect Fu Youde being accepted by the Qin army, so taking the blame for Bai Qi is also an opportunity to show his attitude.


    "There is only one general who escaped in this battle. I would like to ask the general to punish him."


    Fu Youde knelt down on one knee and apologized with a serious look on his face. His actions not only surprised Qin Hua, Qin Yi and other generals, but even Bai Qi looked surprised. He obviously didn''t understand why Fu Youde wanted to apologize. After all, it didn''t matter to him that Cao''s army escaped?


    Among the generals, only Xiao Yan, who was politically 96, looked at Fu Youde in shock, and then showed an expression of anger on his face, as if Fu Youde had stolen something.


    Bai Qi, who has political attribute 81 (+2), obviously did not think as much as Xiao Yan thought. After hearing Fu Youde''s words, he said, "The fact that Cao''s army was able to escape this time was the result of our governor''s poor planning, and it has nothing to do with General Fu."


    After saying that, Bai Qi was about to step forward and help Fu Youde up, but Xiao Yan stepped forward and blocked between the two.


    Under Bai Qi''s unexpected gaze, Xiao Yan leaned over to Bai Qi''s ears.


    I don’t know what Xiao Yan said, but Bai Qi’s interview, who had always been calm, changed many times within seconds.


    The first was surprised, then was surprised, then became angry, and finally he was helpless. All the generals present were extremely surprised and could not believe that they would see so many expressions on the general''s face.


    Bai Qi ignored everyone and looked at Fu Youde with a hint of appreciation instead.


    Through this period of contact, Bai Qi thought Fu Youde was like Yue Fei, a purer soldier, but he did not expect that the other party''s simple behavior contained political wisdom that he had never expected.


    If it weren''t for Xiao Yan''s reminder, Bai Qi wouldn''t know how much trouble his rejection would bring to himself and Da Qin.


    Bai Qi is not unaware that many subordinates will take the initiative to help their boss take the blame in order to charm their superiors, but he obviously does not need subordinates to help him take the blame.


    What Bai Qi is most afraid of is that he has made great achievements and even does not hesitate to be self-deprecating and takes the initiative to make some mistakes.


    Bai Qi said that Li Cunxiao made small mistakes, but he was actually the same as Li Cunxiao, but Li Cunxiao did not intend, while he did it on purpose.


    Therefore, if Fu Youde wants to take the blame and use it to please Bai Qi, it will undoubtedly flatter him and will affect his image in Bai Qi''s heart.


    But after listening to Xiao Yan''s words, Bai Qi realized the trick here, and this was not his own business.


    Although Bai Qi won this battle, he took two strategies in a row, but Fan Li easily resolved them. This is an indisputable fact, and this will undoubtedly affect his reputation and deterrence.


    Bai Qi, who has never led the army, and Li Cunxiao, the best in the world in the military, is undoubtedly a nuclear bomb in this era. As long as they go to fight, they can establish victory in a war, which has a strong deterrent effect on all forces.


    Before, whenever the monarchs of various countries heard that Bai Qi was leading the army, they would unconsciously feel timid in their hearts. After all, their opponents have never been defeated, so they will naturally be weaker in terms of momentum.


    But after learning about this, they would think that although Bai Qi was invincible in the formation, he was not without weaknesses. At least he was not as good as those top strategists in strategy.


    So, if there are no strategists around Bai Qi, can he defeat him?


    As we all know, the greatest function of a nuclear bomb is not an explosion, but a nuclear deterrence before launch. When the deterrence power is insufficient, the role of the nuclear bomb will be greatly reduced.


    Fu Youde stood up at this time, took the initiative to help Bai Qi take the blame, and took the responsibility on himself.


    In this way, Bai Qi''s strategy failure is caused by mistakes in his subordinates'' actions. Then this is not Bai Qi''s responsibility, but his subordinates'' responsibility.


    Therefore, Fu Youde came forward to take the blame for Bai Qi, which is no longer a simple act of charming the enemy.


    It is possible to win the honor of Bai Qi, the Great Qin God of War, to the greatest extent, and to help Qin protect the war deterrence of Bai Qi''s nuclear weapon. This is simply a good thing that benefits the country and the people.


    Bai Qi himself was neither despised nor willing, nor would he let his subordinates take the blame for him. In his opinion, this was a shame.


    But now the name "Bai Qi" does not belong only to him, but also to the symbol of the strong power of the Qin Dynasty and the invincible army.


    The reason why Ying Hao did not intervene in Bai Qi''s previous self-deprecating behavior is that his moral flaws will not affect Bai Qi''s military achievements.


    But if Bai Qi was self-deprecating in military affairs, Ying Hao would be the first to jump out to stop him, because Bai Qi not only harmed his own image, but also the deterrent power of the Qin Dynasty in war.


    Therefore, Ying Hao will never allow anyone to break Bai Qi''s invincible golden body, even if this person is Bai Qi himself.


    Although Bai Qi''s political attributes are not low, they are not very high. He obviously did not realize this, but Xiao Yan, who has political attributes of 96, noticed it immediately.


    Therefore, Xiao Yan was originally planning to help Bai Qi take the blame. After all, although he was taking responsibility on the surface, he not only maintained Bai Qi''s reputation, but also maintained the deterrence of the Qin Dynasty''s war. It was a good thing that won multiple goals in one fell swoop.


    If Your Majesty knows this, he will definitely be happy. Then this vast wealth will come.


    Although Xiao Meiniang married into the Qin Palace and the Xiao family became a royal relative, Xiao Yan''s career did not go smoothly. The main reason was that he had first rebelled and seized power, killed his old protagonist Zhang Shicheng, and then took the initiative to betray Yuan Shao and surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. A slave of the three surnames like him naturally would not have a good reputation, and it would not be much better than a bad street. If Xiao Meiniang hadn''t been Ying Hao''s concubine, there would have been few generals in the Qin army to deal with Xiao Yan.


    Xiao Yan has been working hard to whitewash over the years. After all, Zhang Shicheng and Yuan Shao are dead, and the dead have no right to speak. Xiao Yan of the Ming Dynasty is still alive, so naturally he will say whatever he says.


    Xiao Yan''s whitewashing results were also pretty good. Although he had not been completely whitewashing, it also made his reputation much better. Now he is one last step away, and taking the blame for it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.


    Xiao Yan had already thought about it and took action after taking Dingtao. After all, if the war did not end, he would not find a good opportunity.


    But what Xiao Yan never expected was that before he could take action, Fu Youde took the lead.


    The fat meat in his mouth flew away, and it was still snatched away by a surrendered general, which was also the main reason for his annoyance.


    At this time, in Xiao Yan''s heart, Fu Youde was a scheming **** with a deep mind, despicable and shameless appearance. His sunny and handsome appearance and his dullness and confusion were all just his disguise for his true self.


    But he couldn''t expose Fu Youde, but instead had to help him improve it. This was what made Xiao Yan most angry. After all, if he couldn''t eat it, he could still drink some soup.


    Bai Qi didn''t know what Xiao Yan was thinking. At this time, his heart was a little complicated. After thinking about it, he went up to help Fu Youde up and said, "General Fu, although you have made a mistake, the war has not stopped now. Why not remember it for now and let you make up for your mistakes.


    Fu Youde, now you are ordered to lead three thousand cavalry to pursue Cao''s army.


    If Cao''s army enters Dingtao City, they will station on the spot and wait until the main army arrives.


    If Cao''s army did not enter the city, then you should recover Dingtao City. ”


    "No."


    Fu Youde was overjoyed. After all, as long as Cao Cao didn''t want to be blocked, he would not be able to enter Dingtao City. His trip was to recover Dingtao City, which was simply a waste of credit.


    Helping your boss take the blame is indeed the only way to please your boss. This credit is delivered to your door without taking the initiative.


    Fu Youde immediately took the order and almost jumped up happily along the way. He didn''t realize how wealth he had brought him by his accidental unintentional action.


    Maybe this is a coincidence.


    At the same time, Cao Cao''s army also arrived in Dingtao, but Bai Qi and Fu Youde thought that Cao''s army did not enter the city, but continued to withdraw directly to the west.


    When he left, Cao Cao''s eyes were full of reluctance and pain, because he gave up not only a city, but also a hundred thousand troops on the western front, as well as the four richest western counties in the Wei State.


    Shortly after Cao Cao left Dingtao, Fu Youde arrived with his cavalry.


    Seeing that there was no Cao soldier on the top of the city, Fu Youde guessed that the Cao army had retreated, he still cautiously sent a team to the city to check to prevent Cao''s army from ambushing the city, or burning the city with fire attacks to severely damage the Qin army.


    Cao Cao retreated in a hurry and had no time to set up an ambush in Dingtao City, let alone use a whole city to attack fire.


    After confirming that there were no ambush or traps, Fu Youde led his army into the city to clean the battlefield and sent people to find the bodies of Deng Jiugong and his son.


    But what Fu Youde didn''t expect was that the bodies of Deng Jiugong and his son were not found, but they found the remaining Qin army and surrendered troops who were still alive and had not had time to retreat in the city.


    "How could anyone still be alive?"


    Fu Youde was also surprised at this. After all, after the death of Deng Jiugong and his son, Liu Tichun and Deng Guan escaped from the city, the soldiers who failed to leave the city in time were trapped in the city, facing 15,000 iron cavalry and a group of Cao''s generals.


    It is almost impossible to survive in this situation.


    After some training and inquiry, Fu Youde learned that after Liu Tichun and Deng Guan evacuated the city, the Qin army and surrendered troops who had no time to escape from the city were indeed massacred by Yin Shou.


    But in order to survive, the remaining troops scattered and fled into the city. They could only engage in street battles with Cao''s army under the leadership of the surrendered general Zhang Nai.


    Although only more than 100 people were left, Cao''s army was in a hurry to go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle, so he did not take care of this remnant army, which allowed Zhang Nai and a hundred others to survive by chance.


    There are actually two more famous Zhang Nai in history. One is Zhang Nai, a civil servant during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. He was appointed as the right censor of Nanjing. The other is Zhang Nai, the adopted son of Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty. He was promoted from his son''s soldiers by Li Zicheng. He was good at fighting and made many military achievements.


    After Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng, Zhang Nai followed Li Guo into Pingjiang County, Hunan to defend himself, and was eventually surrounded and killed by the Qing army.


    Zhang Nai and a hundred people thought they would die. After all, their Cao army was trapped in the city, and there was no way to go to the earth and there was no door to the earth. Death was just a matter of time, but unexpectedly, the Cao army did not return after leaving the city, and the Qin army recaptured Dingtao City.


    After seeing the Qin army immediately, the more than 100 soldiers who survived the hardships were all very happy and sorrowful.


    Zhang Nai hugged Liu Tichun and burst into tears. He refused to let go for a long time, telling how difficult it was for him to survive this time, and even wiped Liu Tichun''s whole body.


    Although Liu Tichun looked disgusted, he still didn''t push Zhang Nai away. After looking at Fu Youde helplessly, he comforted him: "You guy is really lucky. OK, don''t cry. If you survive this disaster, you will definitely have good fortune in the future. You can wait and enjoy your happiness in the future."


    Two hours later, the main army led by Bai Qi also arrived in Dingtao City smoothly, and Fu Youde also went to welcome Bai Qi into the city in person.


    Another hour passed, after a fast horse ran into Dingtao, he presented a head to Bai Qi, which was the head of Cao Qiudao, the great master of the Cao family.
