After two days of grinding, Cao Cao's army went to the vicinity of Zhu'a City.

Cao Cao himself went down the Jishui River, and also carried a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass.

The two sides had not yet started a war, and Cao Cao invited Xu to speak before the battle.

On a low, uncovered hill, there were two small tables on the withered yellow grass and trees, and Xu Ding and Cao Cao sat facing each other.

Xu Ding said: "Mengde, you shouldn't come." ”

"But I'm here with the scriptures!" Cao Cao said.

Xu Ding said again: "You can go back, otherwise you will be defeated." ”

"There is no way back, Bokang, the arrow has to be sent on the string, defeat or victory, you will only know after wiping it." If it had been before, Cao Cao might not have dared to confront Xu Ding head-on, but now there are several other princes, and Xu Ding will divide his troops to guard, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Xu Dingdao: "Wipe or not wipe is the same Mengde, you have lost your heart, you look at your rule, look at my rule, the people and the people are the best proof, they will make the most correct choice."

Their eyes are the brightest, and they are not blinded by the foolery of some people. ”

"Bokang, I used to think that I could do something for the people, I thought I was on the same team with them, and they would be on my side, but later I found out that no one was on my side, I needed to fight, I needed to take the initiative." Cao Cao pointed to the Cao army soldiers on his body, and then pointed to Xu Ding's back and said:

"You and I have their own ideal goals, although everyone's goals will be different, but the sweat and hard work paid for the goal is the same, no one will be willing to give what is in hand, or even break and interrupt their own achievements and goals, so we don't have a choice.

The world has changed, and in the world of great contention, our generation can only advance bravely, and those who retreat will be buried and forgotten by this world. ”

Xu Ding knew that Cao Cao was really going to fight to the end this time, so he didn't talk about this topic, but showed a wicked smile: "Meng De, you said it so plainly, aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?" ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, at this time, the straight-line distance between the two is too short, Xu Ding wants to shoot, no one can stop him.

Even if there are Cao Cao's fierce generals Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Shi Lian, Wang Yao, Bao Xian, Han Hao and more than a dozen fierce generals on the opposite side.

As long as Xu Ding wanted to kill, they couldn't stop him.

Because Xu Ding not only has his own strength, but also stands behind him several fierce generals such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu.

Kill it, it's hard to wipe out Cao Cao's fierce general group here.

It's just that the target set by Xu has never been Cao Cao, let alone these generals.

Killing people is very simple, he wants the world, not winning or losing.

What he wants is the prosperity of China, not the ruins and ruins after a hundred battles, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

"No, if you want to do it, why do you need to remind it, if it is someone else, my lord will not care, Hou Ye's benevolence and righteousness will be broadcast to the world, Hou Ye will never use those pickled and disgraceful means, and the dignified decisive battle, Hou Ye's character we can trust." Behind Cao Cao, a scribe replied for Cao Cao.

Xu Ding looked at him slightly, and said with interest: "Meng De also brought a strategist over, why can't I introduce it." ”

This man must have never seen it, but he could probably guess it.

Cao Cao's first-class strategists are only a few, Chen Guan, Cheng Shu, and Chen Deng have all seen them.

Cao Cao said: "Let Bo Kang smile, this is Liu Ziyang of Yangzhou, my Yanzhou sacrificial wine." ”

Sure enough, it was Liu Ye, Xu Ding said with a smile: "Meng De is not honest, the sacrificial wine is the longest engaged in the state and county, it seems that he is very favored by you, do you mind asking him to help me do something?" ”

"Uh......" Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and Liu Ye was the same, Xu Ding's brain circuit turned too fast.

Can you poach people in person?

However, it is also an honor to be valued by Xu Ding.

"Berkang is really joking." Cao Cao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xu Dingjiao said: "What I said is true, I am very short of people here, the territory is too big, I can't manage it, if you are interested, you can come and wipe it, I can let you manage the land of a state, and the history of the assassin and the state pastor can do it." ”

Cao Cao coughed violently.

Thorn History, State Pastor, Bokang, do you want to be so excessive.

Liu Ye bowed with both hands in his hands and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, the lord treats me very well, and I have a pleasure working with you in Yanzhou, but I am really lacking in skills and is not blessed to serve Lord Hou." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not right now, maybe it's okay in the future, let's have a drink when we come to Mengde, this cup respects our past." Xu Ding was nothing unusual, raised his glass and signaled to Cao Cao, Cao Cao hurriedly raised his glass, and then the two of them were willing.

There was a trace of complicated feelings in my heart.

After this cup, all kinds of things in the past will disappear, and the future will be on the opposite path of each other.

Next, Xu Ding raised his glass again, and the two of them had two more glasses, one for the present and one for the future.

didn't say much else, and after three glasses, Xu Ding stood up and said: "Mengde wine has also been drunk, and the words have been discussed, I should go back, and I will give you a painting when I leave." ”

"Good!" Cao Cao also stood up and asked curiously, "I don't know what painting Bo Kang gave me?" ”

Xu Ding took the sleeve from Dian Wei behind him, took down the painting and prepared to hand it to Cao Cao.

Liu Ye blocked his body in the middle and said, "Why bother the Hou Ye, I'll come." ”

Seeing Liu Ye's behavior, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Shi Lian, Wang Yao, Bao Xian, and Han Hao behind Cao Cao all took a step forward nervously, holding their weapons with both hands.

"Hahaha, why is Liu Ziyang still afraid that I will learn from Jing Ke, and want to hide the blade in the painting, just waiting for the poor dagger to see it?" Xu Ding laughed coldly: "Then you are very wrong, I am not Jing Ke, and Meng De has also become the king of Qin." ”

After speaking, Xu Ding's body suddenly changed his face, and Liu Ye, who had changed greatly from his face, disappeared in front of his eyes.

Then suddenly appeared in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was also shocked, it was the first time he saw Xu Ding make a move.

It was so fast that he didn't react, and when he came back to his senses and reached for the sword at his waist, a large strong hand pressed against his shoulder.

The owner of the hand showed a strange smile on his face, and said in a magnetic voice: "Mengde, don't be distracted, let's look at the painting!" ”

Can I not get distracted?

At this time, how can I be in the mood to look at paintings.

Cao Cao really couldn't guess what Xu Ding was going to do, and he was a little apprehensive.

Even if he has been rolling in knives for so many years, crawling in blood, stepping on mountains of corpses, and encountering countless hardships, it has not made him nervous this time, because his pores are exploding.

Suddenly, he regretted inviting Xu Ding to meet.

However, when Xu Ding let go of the scroll with one hand, and a picture of the country and mountains appeared in front of him, his eyes were all attracted to it.
