"Boss Cao, I'll let you off this time. Let's see if you still dare think about other people's wives every day."
Jiang Siming had never planned to actually kill Cao Cao here. For the greatest warlord of the Three Kingdoms to die like this would have been far too pathetic.
Even if he died, Boss Cao still had plenty of children, and the Cao family's rule would continue. So whether Boss Cao lived or died wasn't what Jiang Siming cared about. He just wanted to tease him.
Boss Cao had suffered a tremendous loss this time. Not only had he lost his eldest son, but Xu Chu was seriously injured, and the losses of troops, equipment, provisions, and supplies were incalculable.
Although Zhao Yun hadn't found Cao Cao, he had unexpectedly captured Xu Chu, who had fled and then passed out. Knowing Xu Chu was still useful, Zhao Yun gave him some basic treatment to stop the bleeding before escorting him back to Chang'an.

"My lord, how should we deal with Xu Chu, whom General Zhao captured?" Xun Yu asked.
"Have you tried talking to Xu Chu?" Jiang Siming asked.

Jiang Siming wasn't surprised. People of this era placed great importance on loyalty, and a big fool like Xu Chu even more so.
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had taken him
