When the plague did not improve after losing tens of thousands of horses and horses, a news from Yangzhou made Liu Bei, Lu Zhi and others suddenly difficult.

There is news that Liu Zheng has been able to cure this plague, and has cured many sick people, as soon as the news reached Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei was shocked, although there was a big battle with Liu Zheng not long ago, Liu Bei also put down his son, even if he sent a messenger to Wu County to ask to see Liu Zheng.

Liu Bei's envoy came to Wu County in early August. This is what they rushed to this place as fast as possible, in order to be able to ask Liu Zheng for a solution to the plague.

When Jian Yong took a few entourages and asked to see Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng was still drinking and chatting with Cao Cao in a small courtyard in Wu County at this time.

When Liu Zheng returned to Wu County from Qingzhou, he naturally brought Cao Cao with him, Cao Cao was an important prisoner of Liu Zheng.

Originally, when Liu Zheng was still negotiating with Liu Bei in Qingzhou, Liu Zheng thought that Liu Bei would add some requirements, such as releasing Cao Cao, a friend.

But Liu Bei didn't make such a request, but let Liu Zheng guess one or two of them after thinking about it again.

Therefore, when chatting with Cao Cao again, Liu Zheng took the initiative to bring up this matter with Cao Cao.

"Brother Meng De, are you still used to living in this Wu County recently?"

"I'm not used to it, it's too hot in the south, and I have to take a shower every day to cool off."

Although Cao Cao is not a northerner, he lived in Luoyang when he was a child, and he has never lived in the south since he was a child.

So Cao Cao is still very unaccustomed to staying in Wu County, but what can he do if he is not used to it, Cao Cao can only endure it, after all, who made him a prisoner.

As a captive, he can also enjoy an independent courtyard, two personal maidservants, and a small team of soldiers to take care of him, which is also a good treatment.

"I'm not used to it, there's no way, this is the kind of condition here, who let you lose the war to me, then Liu Bei didn't consider you, he ran away with his own people, and he didn't say to let you go back when he talked about peace, you said that he is not a fake benevolence, you can be regarded as a friend, but you don't care about your life or death."

Liu Zheng deliberately damaged Liu Bei in front of Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, picked up the wine glass on the table, and hurriedly took a sip, as if he wanted to hide the emotions in his heart.

Obviously, Cao Cao was also angry at Liu Bei for abandoning him and running away by himself, but now Cao Cao has no capital to be angry, although he is angry in his heart, on the surface, he still has to be calm and pretend not to care at all, afraid that Liu Zheng will guess the joy and anger in his heart.

"Brother Meng De, after your defeat this time, basically, you have no ability to make a comeback, you Cao Cao is not Liu Bei, Liu Bei can become more and more courageous, but you can't, because you are in my hands, imprisoned by me, the only way you can take is to take refuge in me, I will give you a suitable position in the case of Brother Meng De's talent, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to retire in this courtyard for the rest of my life."

Cao Cao drank in silence, and Liu Zheng took the opportunity to express his willingness to surrender to Cao Cao again, but obviously, Cao Cao had not completely given up on the Han family, nor had he considered it, so he took refuge in Liu Zheng at this time.

"Forget it, Brother Liu, you also know that I am not a person who will surrender easily, you still don't want to persuade me, just let me experience life in this courtyard."

Liu Zheng saw that Cao Cao was still unmoved, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, the days were still long, Liu Zheng didn't believe that Cao Cao was so hard-mouthed.

"Okay, since Brother Meng De is still relatively satisfied with his current life, then I won't continue to force it, I still have something to do, so I won't bother too much, and I will leave."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he got up and left, and he didn't linger much.

Cao Cao stared at Liu Zheng, who left from the courtyard without looking back, and his eyes were mixed.

In the past, Cao Cao couldn't even look down on a remnant of the Yellow Turban, but now in just a few years, he has grown into a prince that Cao Cao can only look forward to.

In Cao Cao's eyes, it is impossible without envy, but what is the use of envy now, Cao Cao didn't think much about it, and continued to start to drink the unfinished wine in the cup, drank it in one go, and poured a glass again, so he could only use wine to drown his sorrows.

After Liu Zheng left, Cao Cao could only mutter.

"Liu Zheng is not very good, why is the wine under his hands so delicious."

……

Liu Zheng came out of Cao Cao's side and did not return directly to his mansion, but went to the other side of the city, where some important generals under Cao Jun were imprisoned.

Cao Cao's guy started high, and as soon as he debuted, his subordinates were full of elite soldiers.

Not to mention the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others alone are already first-class generals in the Three Kingdoms period.

And in the early days, they took refuge under Cao Cao, as well as Li Dian and Le Jin, both of whom were highly status under Cao Cao.

Li Dian said that his evaluation in history is not particularly outstanding, but Le Jin is also one of the five good generals who can keep pace with Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others.

This time, they were also captured by Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng agreed to detain these people, of course, the living conditions, naturally can't be compared with Cao Cao, but it's not too bad, they are all a unified cell, three meals a day, someone sends them to them, and the food is also hearty, so that they will not be overfed.

After all, Liu Zheng still expects these people to take refuge in him, so naturally he can't give them a bad impression.

Brother Xiahou, Brother Cao, and Liu Zheng have all met a few times, but Cao Cao did not surrender, and these people were also supported by a strong spirit, and did not open their mouths to surrender.

Liu Zheng didn't force it, but the other two, Li Dian and Le Jin, were not close to Cao Cao, and they had not been close to Cao Cao for a short time, and they had not established a stable enough relationship with Cao Cao, so now that Cao Cao was defeated, they still had a great chance to choose to join Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng specifically targeted Li Dian and Le Jin to persuade them to surrender.

At the beginning, these two people did not surrender, but as Liu Zheng came more often, and after a long time, these two people also accepted the result that Cao Cao had been defeated, and naturally their hearts loosened, and slowly, they also accepted Liu Zheng's persuasion to surrender.

Liu Zheng came this time, just to make a show in front of Le Jin and Li Dian, so as to completely subdue these two generals.
