"Hua raised an army, and he had his own purpose. But the stakes are high, and if I tell the general, will the general be willing to keep it a secret for me? ”

Regarding his purpose, Huaxing originally didn't want to go into details.

But in front of this "suspicious prince", Hua Xing knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, the other party was likely to be suspicious and refuse the alliance's request.

Therefore, in order to dispel Cao Cao's concerns, Huaxing still decided to confide in the other party some truths.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to tell the other party so bluntly!

Because Huaxing remembers very clearly, 9647 clearly said in the letter that there are enemies in Xuchang.

If Cao Cao accidentally revealed this matter, it would reach Lu Pu's ears in a few days, which was definitely the last thing Huaxing wanted to see.

Therefore, before informing, Huaxing also put forward an additional condition, Cao Cao must keep it secret for himself.

Something like "secrecy" is neither losing meat nor losing soldiers, Cao Cao didn't even think about it, and agreed to it in one bite.

But Huaxing didn't buy it, and for the sake of safety, he also asked Cao Cao to make another poisonous oath!

When he heard that he was going to swear a poisonous oath, Cao Cao was displeased.

But after thinking about it, in order to find out the true intentions of Hua Xing, Cao Cao finally nodded and made a poisonous oath as required.

Hearing this, Hua Xing nodded with satisfaction and told Cao Cao what he really thought:

"Don't hide it from the general, the main purpose of raising troops is to defeat the enemy, not the world!"

"Defeat the enemy?" Cao Cao was confused: "What kind of enemy?" Are you saying that Gongsun Chan attacked you before? ”

"It's not! Gongsun Chan was instructed by the imperial court and was not a real enemy. Hua has an old enemy who has been secretly fighting with me. I have only one goal, and that is to defeat him once and for all! ”

"Oh, I see...... Can this person Cao recognize? Cao Cao said curiously.

"The general should not be recognized. He was neither a warlord nor an official, and for a long time he regarded himself as a businessman, hiding in the market. However, this person's power is not small, whether it is in the palace or in the general's tent, there are eyes of this person. ”

"Oh? Also in Cao's account? ”

"That's right! And the status is definitely not low, and the most recent is the general level......"

Regarding the identity of the "enemy", Huaxing actually doesn't want to reveal too much.

Because the more you talk, the greater the risk of exposure, so after a brief introduction, I listened to his voice and diverted the topic:

"Therefore, whether Hua raised troops and set up camps, or recruited troops and horses, in fact, it was all to compete with this person, not to compete for the world."

As soon as he heard that Huaxing's old enemy was just a "businessman", Cao Cao had no interest in exploring further.

As for the eyeliner, it doesn't seem to him to be a big deal.

In the huge military camp, it was normal for a few spies to be mixed in, so he quickly skipped the matter.

"Since the general has no intention of being in the world, why should he form an alliance with our army? What's the point of that? ”

"To tell you the truth, the strength of the opponent is not only far superior to mine, but there are also informants hidden in many forces. Like before, the imperial court sent people to attack me, and it was this person who made the bad ...... behind the scenes."

When he heard that this person had such ability, Cao Cao was taken aback.

Without waiting for Huaxing to finish speaking, he took the initiative to guess:

"So, are you afraid that Cao will be bewitched by others and become your enemy, so you will come to me for an alliance before him?"

There are actually many reasons for Huaxing to find Cao Cao's alliance, and "fear of being bewitched" is just one of them.

But at present, Huaxing didn't plan to tell the other party everything about the follow-up, just smiled slightly, and nodded to deal with the past.

"By the way, there's one last question below!" After pondering for a moment, he heard Cao Cao say again:

"Why did the general make a ten-year covenant?"

"Due to the great power of the enemy, Hua is not sure to defeat the other party in the short term, so it will take some time to develop and grow. But I believe that at most ten years, we will be able to achieve our goals. At that time, I will be able to give my territory and troops to the general! ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao nodded and stopped the questioning, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes......

In the next half hour, Huaxing talked to Cao Cao about the benefits of forming an alliance.

What can be said and what should be said, he has not let go.

However, no matter how hard Huaxing worked, Cao Cao's attitude was still the same as before, only saying that the matter was important and needed to be considered, and before returning to Xuchang, he was determined not to answer.

Seeing this scene, although Huaxing was unwilling, he was helpless.

He can't really put a knife on the other party's neck to force Cao Cao to ally ally, right?

An alliance that was won like that would certainly not be solid.

So after thinking about it a few times, Hua Xing had to put the matter aside for the time being, and walked out of Cao Cao's cell with a sigh.

At this moment, it is already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Except for the alliance, other things have been put in place, and Huaxing did not delay any longer, and according to the original agreement, Liu Xie and his party were all released from Xu Tian.

Liu Xiehe, who had regained his freedom, naturally did not stay long, and under the escort of Cao Jun, he quickly walked towards Xuchang......

Because there were still some things to deal with later, Huaxing did not rush back to the village, but followed Liu Xie and the others from a distance.

Before dark, he took 3,000 soldiers and set up outside Xuchang City.

I thought that Huaxing stopped here because he wanted to rest more, but as soon as the soldiers set up the barracks, Huaxing changed into civilian clothes, which seemed to have the intention of leaving the camp.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao ran over as soon as possible and asked with a puzzled face:

"Master, it's so late, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going to go for a walk around Xuchang City." Huaxing pulled his cuffs and replied truthfully.

"Into the city?" As soon as these words came out, I saw Zhang Liao is brows tightly locked, and his face was worried:

"That's it, what are you going to do? The gates will be closed in a few moments. How dangerous is it for you to run in alone? If Cao Cao finds out, will it be worth it? ”

"Hehe, if you find it, you will find it, what danger can it be? Can he still kill me? Huaxing shook his head nonchalantly:

"Alright, you don't have to worry about it. I'll be back early tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing that Hua Xing refused to listen to persuasion, Zhang Liao had no choice but to step forward and take Hua Xing's arm to persuade him a second time:

"Master, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, can't I accompany you early tomorrow morning? Why do you have to go into town at night? There's not much to do in the city at night...... Ay? I said, master, don't you want to secretly go to the Drunken Moon Tower to play? ”

"Drunken Moon Tower? Where? Huaxing looked dazed.

"It's the most famous green building in Xuchang City!" Zhang Liao said with a wicked smile:

"Miss Dong and Miss Diao Chan are both in the camp, isn't it a bit ...... for you to do this?"

"Nonsense!"

But before he finished speaking, Hua Xing interrupted the other party angrily.
