"At that time, even if Er Yuan joins forces to come again, we will not be afraid. That's why I have this thought, and I hope you two will be more considerate. ”

Huaxing's words are true.

Cao Jun had 300,000 prisoners of war in Qingzhou and 60,000 troops in Xuchang, and as long as he was given a certain amount of time to transform these surrenders into real combat power, Cao's army's strength would be greatly improved.

At that time, let alone Er Yuan, even if there are a few more warlords, Cao Cao will not be helped.

Therefore, this move is indeed extremely beneficial to Cao Jun.

Although this method sounded good, it was extremely difficult in Zhang Liao's opinion, and he soon opened his mouth and said:

"Master, if you can get the other party to retreat, I won't say anything. However, with just these three guys, is Er Yuan really willing to withdraw his troops? ”

"Well...... Actually, I'm not sure, so I'll just give it a try. However, if it were me, in the face of the situation where you, Zilong, Lingqi and others were arrested, I would most likely agree to this. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang and Lu immediately warmed their hearts and were moved. Then I heard Lu Lingqi say again:

"The lord of the mansion is kind-hearted, and the last general is very moved. But the other party may not be like the lord, what if they don't agree? ”

"Disagree? Then I will never hand over war criminals, you can rest assured of that! Huaxing patted his chest and reassured.

"Master, hehe, the apprentice has another proposal...... Zhang Liao, who was standing on the side, suddenly remembered something, and scratched his head while sneering:

"Can we ...... Only use Western nobles to negotiate with Wujie? Leave Yang Tie alone? ”

"This ...... It's not that I haven't thought about it, but it doesn't mean much. Come to think of it, if the other side really wants to negotiate this, they will inevitably demand that we return all the hostages. At that time, not only Yang Tie, but even the generals of the Yuan army who were locked up in prison would be involved. So even if we don't mention it, the other party will ask for it. ”

As soon as he heard that this method was not easy to use, Zhang Liao's face immediately showed a look of disappointment:

"Alas! In this way, the general's great enemy...... Maybe you won't be able to report it for the rest of your life? ”

"Well...... Not necessarily. We're letting him go now, but we'll be able to catch him again in the future! And now, I don't need to hide them anymore. Although Yang Tie was the murderer of General Lu, he was not the mastermind. The mastermind behind this matter is actually the leader of their organization - Lu Pu! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Liao frown deeply: "You mean...... Lu Pu, the richest man in Luoyang? ”

"That's right! It's this person. Yang Tie is Lu Pu's subordinate, and they all act according to orders. In this case, he was at best a tool. ”

"Then why did he want to hurt my father?" Lu Lingqi asked with a puzzled expression.

"What's the reason for that...... It's more complicated. After thinking for a while, Hua Xing replied:

"To put it simply, Lu Pu is not a citizen of the Han Dynasty, but a person from an enemy country, and he doesn't want the Han to be strong, so he has been deliberately trying to erase the talents of the Han Dynasty. And General Lu happened to be an outstanding talent of our Han Dynasty, and unfortunately became the target in his eyes. So if you talk about the real murderer, Lu Pu is the culprit who designed to kill General Lu! ”

"Huh? He turned out to be an enemy country? ”

After listening to Huaxing's explanation, Lu Lingqi slammed the table, with a look of resentment in her eyes:

"Okay, your surname is Lu, wait for me, I, Lu Lingqi, will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces and avenge my father......"

On the one hand, Zhang and Lu are both people who know righteousness.

They are well aware that in the current situation, an armistice is more important than revenge.

On the other hand, Huaxing has made it very clear that Yang Tie is not the mastermind of killing Lu Bu.

The real murderer is actually Lu Pu who is hiding in the Eryuan camp.

After learning of this, the hatred of Zhang and Lu was quickly transferred to Lu Pu's head.

In this way, the release of Yang Tie is no longer as unacceptable as before.

Therefore, after some consideration, the two of them finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Huaxing walked out of the Xuchang City Gate in a carriage.

After traveling more than ten miles, the carriage arrived at a small village called Zhaohe.

There is an open-air teahouse in the village, but due to the early hours, there is almost no one at this time.

After parking the car, Huaxing chose a position closest to the carriage and sat down.

I asked the store for a pot of tea, ordered a few side dishes, and had breakfast with the coachman.

But just after a few bites, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in white walking to the Huaxing table with a faint smile on his face, looking at the small dishes on the table and saying:

"The Chinese team really has Yaxing? You asked me to meet here just to treat me to breakfast, did you? ”

Hearing this, Hua Xing just smiled symbolically, and pointed to the empty seat opposite:

"The Marines came early enough, huh? I made an appointment to meet you at the right time, and you arrived at the end of the hour. Hehe, why don't you sit down and eat something together? ”

This man in white is none other than Huaxing's "old teammate" - Lu Pu.

Yesterday evening, Lu Pu was eating in the camp when a letter suddenly came from his own soldiers.

When I opened it, there was only one sentence inside:

Tomorrow, Zhaohe Village gathers. Huaxing.

Seeing that there was neither a reason nor a reason in the letter, Lu Pu was puzzled, so he called Sun Bao, who delivered the letter, into the account and inquired.

Regarding the meeting, Sun Bao didn't know anything.

But in the end, he conveyed a message to Lu Pu that Huaxing would not allow him to return to Cao Ying.

If he dared to go back, he would be beheaded.

Since the last battle, Lu Pu has guessed that Huaxing must have recognized his identity.

Now after listening to Sun Bao's words, he is even more sure of this matter.

But that doesn't mean Rupp will refuse the meeting.

In order to find out what kind of medicine is sold in Qinghuaxing's gourd, after thinking about it for three times, Lu Pu still decided to go to Zhaohe Village to meet Huaxing again in person to see what this guy wants to talk about with him.

After hearing Huaxing's invitation, Lu Pu did not rush to take a seat, but paced towards Huaxing's carriage.

Picking up the curtains with a folding fan and making sure that there was no one in the car, he returned to the table and sat opposite Huaxing:

"You're welcome, I've eaten on the road, you can use it slowly."

"Hehe, are you afraid that I will poison you?"

With a chuckle, Hua Xing took the coachman to another table first.

After that, he took out three items from his arms and placed them in front of Lu Pu:

"I'm here today to talk to you about some business. You know all these things, right? ”

Among the three objects, the one on the far left is an emerald green pearl hairpin;

In the middle is a waist card of the general of the Cao army, which is engraved with the word Wu Jie;

On the far right is a black iron ring, which looks ordinary, but if you look closely, there is a simplified character "Yang" written on it, which is obviously not a product of this era.
