Liu Zheng and Zhang Ning didn't stay warm for a long time, because although the battle was over, there were still many things to deal with.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is Cao Cao's captivity.

When Liu Zheng came out of Zhang Ning's residence, his subordinate Wen Ping had already come over to report to him about the battle.

Liu Zheng brought more than 22,000 soldiers and horses from Yangzhou, and more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded.

The officers and men of the navy who had been trained with great difficulty lost more than half of them in this battle.

And Wen Ping's subordinates were also killed and injured, and what distressed Liu Zheng the most was that in his pro-military camp, more than 2,000 pro-soldiers also killed and injured hundreds of people.

These hundreds of people are the elite of Liu Zheng's elite, comparable to being trapped in the camp.

The Yellow Turban Army also suffered a lot of losses, in order to intercept the cavalry under Cao Cao and Liu Bei, their battle at the city gate was also tragic, and the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai were almost killed and wounded.

Of course, there are losses, and naturally there are rewards, for example, Cao's army of 20,000 people was wiped out, and Cao Cao, including himself, and several of his generals were all captured.

Of Tao Qian's 30,000 soldiers and horses, only a few fled with Liu Bei, and the rest all died outside Beihai City.

Some of them were captured by Liu Zheng's people and were also imprisoned in Beihai.

Liu Zheng needs to meet Cao Cao and deal with Cao Cao's follow-up.

Cao Cao, no matter how he dealt with it, was a troublesome thing for Liu Zheng.

Keep it, Cao Cao is a hero after all, Liu Zheng is worried that he will not be able to control Cao Cao, and Cao Cao may not surrender to him.

Kill it directly, Liu Zheng has some regrets, he is also a famous historical figure, and he is also the number one person that Liu Zheng liked when he watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, although he did not regard Cao Cao as an idol, but he also loved Cao Cao very much, and the simple exchange with Cao Cao also made Liu Zheng have a good impression of Cao Cao.

So Liu Zheng was reluctant to kill him directly.

In any case, Cao Cao's subordinates still have a few available generals, if they can really say that Cao Cao can be defeated, then Liu Zheng immediately got a lot of available talents.

Of course, even if Cao Cao wants to surrender now, Liu Zheng may not dare to use Cao Cao, so he can only temporarily detain Cao Cao.

Detention is imprisonment, but Cao Cao's treatment is different from that of ordinary prisoners.

Just like when Liu Zhengsheng captured Sun Jian, Liu Zheng would give these top figures of the Three Kingdoms some special treatment, even if they were imprisoned, they were kept in a courtyard and did not restrict their freedom.

And whatever they need, they will try to meet it.

Liu Zheng first let Cao Cao calm down in the courtyard for a while, and then let people prepare wine and food, and he took Dian Wei and Wen Ping into the courtyard, found Cao Cao, and planned to appease Cao Cao first.

As soon as Liu Zheng entered the door, he saw that Cao Cao was more optimistic than Liu Zheng thought, not only was he already eating and drinking at the banquet alone, but he didn't mean to wait for Liu Zheng at all, but when he saw Liu Zheng coming, he took the initiative to greet Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zheng, you're here, hurry up, come and sit, I'm a little hungry, so I didn't board you."

As he spoke, Cao Cao grabbed the wine glass in front of him with his hand, and then drank it with a sip.

After drinking the wine, he exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, grabbed the dough on the table again, and ate it.

There is no appearance of Yanzhou Thorn History at all.

Liu Zheng was also impressed by Cao Cao, but he didn't say anything, and directly took Dian Wei and Wen Ping, and sat down one left and one right.

In this courtyard, only Cao Cao was imprisoned, so after Liu Zheng and the three of them came in, they didn't seem to be much lonely.

Liu Zheng raised his glass and glanced at Cao Cao.

"Brother Meng De, have you ever thought of this result?"

"I didn't expect it, it was indeed my carelessness, Brother Liu Zheng deserves to be called the Yellow Turban God of War by them, I just regret it, I regret that when I was in Quyang, I didn't order the city to be broken, so maybe I can strangle you in the cradle."

"Hahaha, Mengde, Mengde, you won't, even if you let you return to Quyang County, you won't attack Quyang with all your might, you don't dare to take risks, after all, you and I were equal in strength at that time, and you didn't have the determination to die."

"But I have, over the years, do you know how many times I've been in danger, how many times I've been close to death?"

Cao Cao is not Liu Zheng, and he doesn't know Liu Zheng's experience over the years, especially Liu Zheng's experience in the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, the surprise attack on Luoyang, and the megatron tiger prison. At those times, Liu Zheng was likely to be besieged and killed by the official army at any time.

It would have been impossible for anyone else to do that.

Cao Cao has always been cautious and cautious, he will not make the idea of a mortal determination to fight at all, Cao Cao is an old treacherous and cunning, and he will not make a move without great certainty.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Cao Cao put down his big cake and began to carefully recall Liu Zheng's experience, from the Yellow Turban Army, to the bandits, and then to the little princes of Jiaozhou.

Indeed, Liu Zheng's experience is much more wonderful than that of these people, and Liu Zheng's ability to get to this point today is also won by Liu Zheng himself.

"Liu Zheng, don't say anything else, you are my Cao Cao, the most admired person in the world, if you are not a thief, maybe we can become very good friends. Hahaha! ”

Cao Cao laughed, raised his glass again, and motioned for Liu Zheng to have a glass.

Liu Zheng also picked up the wine glass and replied to Cao Cao.

"Even now, we can still be good friends."

"Not now, now that I've become your subordinate, my status has changed, and I can't communicate on the same identity."

"Haha, Brother Meng De is too worried, do you know the purpose of my coming to see you today?"

Liu Zheng drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hesitated, as if in deep thought.

After a while, he said to Liu Zheng: "You shouldn't have come to kill me, otherwise there is no need to prepare such a sumptuous meal for me, but you won't let me go, I think you are here to persuade me to surrender?" ”

Cao Cao is still smart, and he judged Liu Zheng's intentions just by doing this.

Liu Zheng nodded homeopathically.

"That's right, in today's Han world, Brother Meng De, you have also seen that the Son of Heaven is just a puppet of the He family, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the people are not happy, there is Yuan Shao in the north, and the Qiang people in the west also have a heart of disobedience, can such a Han court still deter the world?"

"Contemptible people are not talented, although they are not children of the royal family, but they are also the descendants of Gaozu, and they can't bear to suffer so much from the people of the world, so they can only turn the tide and help the building to fall!"
