Chapter 710: Peace Talks
If Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army had appeared half an hour earlier, the current situation would not be like this. Cao Cao could at least maintain the battlefield, and it was not impossible to even withdraw his troops slowly.
After Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the army to arrive, they were also stunned when they saw the situation on the battlefield.
When Yuan Shao arranged for them to come before, he had already told them how they should act. If Cao Cao has the upper hand or the two sides are deadlocked, then watch the battle situation without moving. If Cao Cao occupies a disadvantage, he will help him without trapping himself. Even Guo Tu instructed that if the battle situation is really irreparable, then leave Cao Cao alone and directly lead the army to evacuate with Gao Ran.
But what's going on now? The Cao army all disarmed and surrendered, and the Chu army had already begun to clean up the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that Gao Ran and Guan Yu were still fighting with the Chu army, Yan Liangwen Chou would have thought that he had mistaken the time and came a few hours late.
"Gao Ran, what's going on?" Yan Liang asked.
"Cao Mengde admits defeat." Gao Ran's face was extremely ugly and said: "Lu Fengxian directly broke into the rear army when the battle was stalemate, and forced Cao Cao to surrender. ”
"Throw in the towel? Cao Mengde is so soft? Yan Liang said angrily. He didn't care about Cao Cao's victory or defeat, but Cao Cao was so down, Yuan Shu's troops were not much lost, and the situation faced by his lord Yuan Shao could even be imagined by him.
Cao Cao is tantamount to giving up the entire Central Plains, and even Liu Bei has to follow him. At that time, Yuan Shao will have to face Yuan Shu with ten states alone.
"Now is not the time to discuss this matter, let's retreat quickly, Hua Xiong and Lu Fengxian will catch up in a short time, and it will be too late if they don't retreat." Gao Ran said anxiously.
"Hmph, withdraw!" Yan Liang also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, so he glanced at Cao Cao in the distance angrily and shouted angrily.
The whole army departed in a mighty way.
Hua Xiong led the army to stay in the distance, just quietly watching Yan Liang and the others lead the army away, and said softly: "Next time you meet, it won't be so easy for you to escape." ”
Yuan Shu didn't care about Gao Ran's departure. The siege of Gao Ran and Guan Yu itself is also a matter of passage for Yuan Shu. If you run, you will run, anyway, the outcome of your own Yuan Shao's battle in the future is also doomed, let Gao Ran escape back, and then Yuan Shao can also lose convincingly.
......
After the battlefield was rectified, Yuan Shu took Guo Jia and other strategists to Cao Cao's side.
The two princes met, but the expected atmosphere of sabre-rattling did not appear. On the contrary, the two sides are more like old friends meeting, surprisingly harmonious.
Yuan Shu didn't care about the generals who were glaring angrily around Cao Cao, came to Cao Cao's front and back, turned over and dismounted, followed by Guo Jia and Dian Wei and others, walked to Cao Cao's side with a smile, and said with a loud smile: "Haha, Meng De, how is it?" This time I won! ”
"Cut, if it weren't for the Yuan family, it would be better to say who you and I would win and who would lose. You are also taking advantage of your family background, if you start the same, how can I lose to you? Cao Cao said disdainfully.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but your mouth is still so powerful. What happened to take advantage of the family background? Lao Tzu reincarnated with his ability, why are you unhappy? If you had been born into a family of ordinary people, you might still be working in the fields. Yuan Shu said indifferently.
Seeing Yuan Shu and Cao Cao arguing together like children, Guo Jia and the others smiled.
At the beginning, the two naughtiest children in Luoyang had a good relationship!
Yuan Shu did not taunt Cao Cao with a triumphant gesture, nor did Cao Cao show his displeasure with silence or other means. The two sides chatted as if they were old friends. This is also the silent tacit understanding between the two.
Seeing that the lords of the two sides chatted together like old friends, the rest of the people naturally talked to each other. Guo Jia decisively found Xi Zhicai, and proudly showed off and boasted. And Tian Feng was unexpectedly Cheng Yu looked at each other, and the two sides chatted about loyalty and uprightness. Xun Yu also found Xun Yu, and it is estimated that there are a lot of words between the uncle and nephew.
After a good battle, the two sides seemed to have a tea party and chatted.
The ministers got along very well, and the generals of the Cao army were still dissatisfied and resentful of Zhang Liao and others. Especially Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, the three of them glared at Lu Bu angrily. Cao Hong's death was recorded in Lu Bu's account by them, how can you not hate it? They are all people who can't hide things, and the hatred and anger in their hearts are reflected in their eyes.
Lu Bu didn't care about this, there were many people who wanted to kill him, and people who had this kind of vision for him could line up from here to Jinling, and still care about these goods?
said lightly: "Life and death on the battlefield are fateful, and we are now two clear." If you have anything unwilling, you can come to me at any time, and a certain family will accompany you to the end. ”
Qiu Lu Buke, who was chased and killed by Cao Jun all the way and forced from Qingzhou to Jiangdong, still remembers, this time it was regarded as a debt repayment.
"You!" Xiahoudun said angrily, and just wanted to stand up, but Xiahou Yuan patted his shoulder.
"Yuan Rang, calm down. This is not the time, and we will talk about it later. Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice to Xiahou Yuan. Then he looked at Lu Fengxian, and said neither softly nor hardly: "Wen Hou, in the future, I am afraid that our two brothers will often ask for advice or two, and I hope that Wen Hou will not hesitate to give advice!" ”
Lu Bu smiled contemptuously: "It's okay to accompany you twice, but if you have always been at this level, forget it, it's not interesting." It's almost the same to call a few more together. ”
"Damn!" Xiahoudun and the others clenched their fists tightly, and their joints were faintly white when they exerted too much force. Everyone has made up their minds in their hearts that they must work hard to hone their martial arts after they go back, and one day find Lu Bu to take revenge.
Among the crowd, there was another person who looked at Gao Shun, who was standing quietly behind Yuan Shu with a complicated gaze, looking like an ordinary soldier, and the sword he was holding in his hand.
Gao Shun seemed to feel this gaze, his gaze shifted slightly, and he looked at Wu Anguo lightly, his face was as usual.
After hesitating for a moment in his heart, Wu Anguo finally walked up, came to Gao Shun's face, and took out a scroll from his arms.
His gaze swept over the sword that Gao Shun pinned to his waist with a little regret, and Wu Anguo said: "You can take the sword of the ancestral inheritance from me, and you have also trained out of the trapping camp, and you are more qualified than me as the inheritor of the ancestor." This book of war was handed down by our ancestors, and it must have been useful to you, so I gave it to you. ”
"Thank you." Gao Shun didn't look at it, he directly took the military book, put it in his arms, and said lightly, as if he was just an ordinary military book in his hand.
"Don't rejoice too soon. This book and the Sword of the Ancestors are only temporarily handed over to you, and if you have no successor in the future, my descendants will go and ask for it. Wu Anguo saw Gao Shun looking indifferent, and said with a little anger.
"Hmm." Gao Shun still said without being salty.
Gao Shun's way of speaking can simply anger a person, at least Wu Anguo is very angry. But his skills are not as good as others, if it wasn't for Gao Shun's mercy on the battlefield just now, he would not only have the sword in his hand been snatched away, but his head would be in a different place, so he could only sulk by himself.
"I'm sorry about Cao Hong." Yuan Shu and Cao Cao chatted for a while, and finally mentioned the matter.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, death is normal on the battlefield. Zilian can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Cao Cao sighed slightly.
"Hehe, can you have such a heart? I'm afraid you're thinking about how to kill and collect debts in the future! Yuan Shu snorted coldly. From childhood to adulthood, can he not know what kind of bird personality this hair is small? He will be revenged, and his stomach will be bad, and he killed his brother this time, and this guy will definitely remember himself for the rest of his life.
Cao Cao was silent when he heard this, if he was a different person, he could still pretend to be one, but in front of Yuan Shu, he couldn't pretend at all, and the two sides knew each other too well.
"Aren't you afraid that I or my descendants will come back to you for revenge?" Seeing Yuan Shu's indifferent look, Cao Cao couldn't help but say.
Yuan Shu looked into the distance and said lightly: "I am confident that you will not be able to beat me in your lifetime, as for my descendants." There is no immortal dynasty in the world, and if they don't fight, they will die. But I don't want you to just look at this place, and you have a general idea of Rome and the rest of the world. Those are two great empires, and if you can replace one of them, you will be eligible to kill them back. ”
"I know, that's why you let me live, isn't it?" Cao Cao said.
"Shouldn't it be your duty as a general to conquer the West for my Han people to expand their territory and open up another world?" Yuan Shu smiled.
