Stop the war？
When Cao Potian heard these two words, his brows furrowed slightly.
If these two words were spoken by someone else, he would definitely say a few words, who do you think you are？
What qualifications do you have to stop the war？
Who gave you the face？
However, these two words happened to be spoken by the Master.
The Master is not only a master, but also the Master of Jixia Academy. All the scholars in Zhongzhou regard the master as an example. Facing this respected old guy, even though Cao Potian has some dissatisfaction in his heart, he dare not be disrespectful in his mouth.
「Master, what do you mean？」Cao Potian pretended not to know.
The Master smiled and said, 「It means what it says on the surface.」
Damn, there is no extra explanation, your face is really big.
Cao Potian considered for a while and said, 「Master, if I remember correctly, Jixia Academy has never intervened in the disputes among the three kingdoms, right？」
「This is a matter between our Great Wei and Great Zhou. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to intervene now？」
The Master said with a kind face, 「Soldiers are a disaster！ Isn’t it good to coexist peacefully? When there is a war, it is the common people who suffer.」
But, what does attacking Yannan Pass have to do with the common people？
There are no common people here.
Cao Potian knew that this was the Master’s excuse, and immediately said, 「Master, I was ordered by the King of Wei to attack Yannan Pass. I must take Yannan Pass, otherwise I won’t be able to explain when I go back.」
The Master said, 「How about this, you go back and tell the King of Wei to come here in person, and I will talk to him？」
How can that be？
Taking down Yannan Pass is a task assigned to me by the Wei King. If I can’t complete this task, what will the Wei King think of me？
Also, if I really listen to you and go back to invite the Wei King to come and meet you, wouldn’t the Wei King scold me for being stupid？
Besides, the Wei King is currently completing the plan to unify Zhongzhou. How can he have the time to come and talk to you？
It’s only because it’s you, Master. If it were someone else, Cao Potian would directly start scolding.
Let the Wei King come and talk to you in person？ Who do you think you are！
Cao Potian pondered for a moment and said, “Master, you don’t know that the Wei King is currently dealing with military and national affairs and I’m afraid I don’t have time to come and meet you for the moment.
How about this, I’ll take a step back.
You can take away Princess Ning’an and Young Master Kong.
In other words, you can take away the people from Jixia Academy. As for the others, hehe…
Kill them all！
The Master looked at Ning’an.
I won’t leave. Ning’an said, “My father sent me to guard Yannan Pass. As the commander, I can’t leave my post without permission.」
The Master looked at Kong Tianxia again. The latter’s eyes dodged a little, and he lowered his head and said, “Master, Ning’an’s father has appointed me as the deputy commander of Yannan Pass. I want to help my junior sister guard the pass.」
Well, even my eldest disciple is trapped.
The Master said to Cao Potian, “Patriarch Cao, I want to ask, if I take away Ning’an and Kong Tianxia, will you still attack Yannan Pass？」
Nonsense. With the commander gone, there is no reason not to attack.
Cao Potian said, “I have to listen to the order of the King of Wei.」
The Master asked again, “If you capture Yannan Pass, what are you going to do with these 300,000 soldiers of the Great Zhou？」
Of course, kill them all.
Before coming, the King of Wei ordered that if the soldiers of the Great Zhou resisted when Yannan Pass was breached, they would be killed without mercy. If anyone surrendered, they would all be buried alive, not a single one left.
Central Continent is vast and rich in resources, and the thing it lacks the most is people.
But these words, Cao Potian couldn’t say them now. If he told the truth, the soldiers of the Great Zhou would definitely fight to the death.
Although it wouldn’t affect the final result, but if the 300,000 troops fought a desperate battle, the soldiers of the Great Wei would also suffer a lot of casualties.
Anyway, it’s a death sentence either way, so why not resist？
Rather than waiting to die, it’s better to take a few with you before dying.
Cao Potian said, “The King of Wei said that after Central Continent is unified, the people of the Great Zhou will be the people of the Great Wei, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou will also be the soldiers of the Great Wei.」
Therefore, the King of Wei gave them two choices, resistance or surrender.
Those who resist will be killed without mercy.
Those who surrender can be dealt with leniently.
「For those who surrender, the Wei King has given two options. One is that after taking Yannan Pass, if there are soldiers who want to continue serving in the military, they will be incorporated into the Wei army and their salaries will be doubled.」
「The second is that if there are people who don’t want to serve in the military, then let them leave. Before leaving, a suitable settlement fee can be given.」
「The conditions are good.」The Master asked the soldiers of the Great Zhou： 「Are you willing to surrender？」
「Unwilling！」Three hundred thousand troops answered in unison, and the sound was like thunder, echoing under the sky.
These soldiers have backbone and courage.
They would rather die on the battlefield than surrender and become prisoners.
The Master said： 「Master Cao, you see, the soldiers of the Great Zhou are all unwilling to surrender.」
Cao Potian was a bit annoyed and thought, really ungrateful.
Before the Master came, I didn’t see you so backbone！
Do you really think the Master will support you？ Ridiculous！
Since this is the case, then I have to lead the army to attack. None of the rebels will be spared. After saying that, Cao Potian bent down and saluted the Master, and then said: “See you off, senior.
What he meant was that the old thing should get out of here quickly and not disturb me from handling business here.
The Master looked blank and said： 「I didn’t say I was going to leave！」
Damn it, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand？
Cao Potian said, “Master, I’m going to start attacking Yan’an Pass next. This matter has nothing to do with Jixia Academy. Please leave as soon as possible.」
The master said, “I came to stop the war. Since my goal hasn’t been achieved, how can I leave？」
Cao Potian’s brows were twisted together. Yes, this time it was not just frowning, but twisting.
He was already impatient in his heart.
If it were someone else chattering in front of him, he would have already punched that person into ashes. But the person in front of him was the master, which made him a bit of a headache.
”Master, what exactly do you mean？” Cao Potian endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked.
The master said, “I think so, Master Cao. Both sides take a step back.」
”You take the soldiers and generals of the Great Wei and go back.」
”As for me, I’ll ask Ning’an to bow to you and thank you for your leniency. How about that？」
Not good.
This is not taking a step back at all. It’s clearly bowing one’s head.
Cao Potian’s face was a bit ugly. HeSecret passage, “I, the dignified God of War, don’t need a little girl to bow to me at all. Not to mention bowing, even if she is willing to sleep with me, I still have to take Yan’an Pass.」
”I can still tell the difference between the importance of Yan’an Pass and a bow.」
”This is my first battle after submitting to the King of Wei. If I can’t even take Yan’an Pass, wouldn’t it be very disgraceful？」
Cao Potian thought of this and said with a sullen face： “Sir, I’m sorry, I can’t agree to your request.」
”Before I arrived here, five commanders of the Great Wei had already died.」
「If I lead the army to retreat, how can I be worthy of the five dead commanders？」
The Master sighed and said, 「Since you are not willing to leave, then you stay！」
