Chapter 521: Becoming a Lobbyist for the First Time

Outside Xiapi City, Cao Cao's military camp stood quietly on the edge of the water pool, and countless burning bonfires illuminated the water pool close to the camp as bright as day. The soldiers cruising back and forth widened their eyes and carefully observed the Xiapi City hidden in the night, although they had an absolute advantage, but no one in Cao Cao's camp dared to underestimate the flying generals trapped in the city.

Mu Shan's body flew through the camp like lightning, and the speed did not leave any afterimage, only a light breeze aroused the vigilance of those patrolling soldiers.

"Where are the rats, dare to trespass into the barracks, are you impatient?"

Mu Shan had just approached the camp of the Chinese army, and even the guards stationed at the door of the tent did not notice his arrival, but suddenly heard a loud shout like thunder, and the aftermath came from a small tent next to Cao Cao's tent.

In an instant, the camp was noisy like a frying pan, and the soldiers who reacted gathered around Mu Shan one after another, countless spear tips and arrows flashed with cold and dazzling light under the light of the fire.

In the midst of the siege, Mu Shan did not have the slightest fear, but just stared closely at the big man who walked out of the tent, only to see that this person was more than eight feet long, his physique was extremely strong, and his rough face was murderous, which was daunting: "Good ability, I didn't expect that Ah Pu's subordinates also have such fierce generals!" ”

"Be bold, Lord Sikong's name is also what you can call!"

"Zhongkang, don't be rude, step back! You and the others all step back and go to their respective duties! ”

The soldiers around him came and retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the murderous scene suddenly cooled down, leaving only the big man called Zhongkang, as well as Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and a few acquaintances to stay.

"Ah ......" Mu Shan's gaze stayed at the camp of the Chinese army, the familiar face still did not change much, and the facial features were still very ugly, but it made Mu Shan feel very kind, but there was a little more calm and restrained between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people unable to see through his thoughts, and the five short figures stood in front of the big man, like a child, so that Mu Shan couldn't help but show a warm smile.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and now you have become one of the three princes. Hehe, how did I say it back then, it was a dragon, and there will always be a day when it soars in the sky and calls for wind and rain. ”

"Mu Shan, where have you been in the past few years......" Cao Cao strode forward, grabbed Mu Shan's wrist, and pulled him to stride towards the Chinese army camp: "Come, come, Fengxiao, Wen Ruo, old friends are visiting, we can't bask him here to drink the northwest wind, let's come in and sit, let's have a long talk tonight with candles, all night long." ”

Cao Cao's tent was not luxurious, compared to Zhang Wen's big tent during the expedition to Xiliang, it was a bit like a beggar's nest. In the empty tent, there was only a desk, a screen with a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, a weapon rack, and a bed.

The six burning oil lamps illuminated the map in the center very clearly and brightly, especially the names marked on the major states and counties, like birds trapped in a net, unable to escape.

At the moment, he is competing with Feng Xian for Xuzhou, but judging from the map alone, Ah Pu doesn't seem to put Feng Xian in his eyes, at this moment his eyes seem to be in the north, is that his next strategic target?

"Sit!" Cao Cao knelt in front of the desk and said with a friendly smile: "Mu Shan, where have you gone to spread joy in the past few years, the world is in chaos, it should be the time for us to show our ambitions and help the world." It's good for you to walk away, and end up happy, but you have suffered our former friends, you tell yourself, should you be fined three glasses of wine! ”

"It's not easy to be happy, it's true that I almost lost my life." Mu Shan raised the wine lord and drank it all, but his eyes were complicated to look at Guo Jia, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Didn't Fengxiao tell you where I have been all these years?" ”

“…… Hehe, the past has passed, when you let him go, don't be involved, and live happily every day is the right thing. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Cao Cao immediately relieved the siege and said: "Lu Bu is invincible in the world with his martial arts, so he provoked wars everywhere and poisoned the people. ”

Cao Cao shifted the topic from Guo Jia to Lu Bu in a few words, although it was unexpected by Mu Shan, but it also made him happy and relaxed, climbed up the pole, and said: "Ah Pu is right, let him pass the past, why continue to hold on." Even if Lu Bu had a lot of things before, now he also recognizes his shortcomings, and has no intention of continuing the competition for power, he just wants to live a happy life for a few days. Ah Pu, as long as you are willing to withdraw your troops, he will give up Xiapi City, and he can also make those men who fight die a few less, what do you think? ”

"You're here to be a lobbyist for Lu Bu?" Cao Cao put down the wine lord, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "I heard that he mentioned that you and he once worked together to retreat from a strong enemy in Bingzhou, but it was just a white dog in the clouds, and the sun and the moon changed, not only people's faces will get old, but people's feelings are changing day by day, and they are unpredictable. ”

Cao Cao slowly stood up from the front of the desk, put his hands behind his back, faced the map on the screen, and said with emotion: "Lu Bu in the past, maybe he was a man who valued love and righteousness in your mouth, but now he, a three-surnamed house slave, and his capricious infamy have long been known to the world, if he misses this great opportunity to besiege and kill him, I am afraid that he will become his drowning weapon in the future!" ”

"Ah, I dare to guarantee his life." Mu Shan stood up angrily, stood behind Cao Cao, and swore an oath: "If you withdraw from the army, and he refuses to withdraw from the battle for the Central Plains, it doesn't hurt if my head is given to you!" ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "...... But what is the use of asking for your head, but to make me bear an unrighteous reproach. ”

"You also once said in person, Lu Bu among people, Red Rabbit among horses, Lu Bu's martial arts, plus Red Rabbit's transcendence, no one in the world can keep him. Why bother to fight him to the end, if he lets him secretly target you, I'm afraid that you will have trouble sleeping in the future! ”

"That's why he had to die!" As if he had been said to have hit the sore spot in his heart, as if he had been talked about his pride, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly released a bright light, reflecting the swaying firelight around him, and even his voice became categorical, determined to win: "Do you know how long I and Feng Xiao have been working hard for today's situation?" ”

"How sure are you that it's worth the risk?" Mu Shan was a little difficult to accept Cao Cao's unshakable attitude, and felt that Cao Cao in front of him suddenly became a little unfamiliar, and struggled to justify: "If you want to help the world, you must first have the heart to accommodate the world, if you can't even tolerate a Lu Bu, how can you make the world come to heart!" King Yan Zhao used Guo Kui as his teacher, declaring his virtue of buying horse bones for thousands of catties, and finally won the world's heroes to serve one after another. Why don't you treat Lu Bu as a horse bone and buy the hearts of heroes in the world! ”
