Night!

Xu Ding came to Cao Ying on time for the banquet.

Cao Cao greeted him outside the camp gate, Xu Ding entered the Cao camp generously, and walked into Cao Cao's tent step by step in front of the eyes of Cao Jun.

For Cao Jun, Xu Ding was a more legendary figure than their lord.

One of the most famous princes in the Han Dynasty, a big man who covers the world.

It's rare to have the privilege of witnessing it.

What is even more rare is that he dared to come to the banquet at this juncture, which made Cao Jun feel admired.

Get your seat!

Set the table, eat wine, and eat meat.

Cao Cao didn't mention coming to Xuzhou, and Xu Ding only smiled and raised his glass to drink.

The atmosphere was both eerie and awkward.

Xu Ding and Cao Cao had a good conversation, but the civil and military officers below carefully paid attention to the interaction between the two.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Cao Cao was about to speak, Xu Ding said first through drunkenness: "How can Meng De set up a banquet without a beautiful woman to dance with the generals and have fun, do you want to come up and dance the sword to help the fun, unfortunately when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, invited the Han Wangba to the banquet, but there are Xiang Zhuang, Fan Xu, and Xiang Bo who took turns to appear on the stage, so it is not lively, leaving a good story for the ages, you have nothing wrong with this!" ”

"Uh......!" Cao Cao paused, and then said with a smile: "Bo Kang said that you are laughing, your martial arts are the best in the world, and the way of the sword is even better than the sword master and sword immortal, who dares to make a fool of himself in front of you, I am not Xiang Yu, and you are not the king of Han." ”

"That's right! I'm not Xiang Yu, and you're not the king of Han, we're just courtiers of the Han Dynasty, but we're lucky to shepherd one side and protect the people, instead of fighting in all directions and ruining the people! Xu Ding raised his head and drank a cup of wine, and laughed loudly.

Cao Cao couldn't hear the meaning of Xu Ding's words, this was to persuade him not to start a war and return to Yanzhou well.

Originally, he also wanted to persuade Xu Ding not to bother with Xuzhou's affairs, so as not to embarrass each other and get angry.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding spoke first.

But he was determined, Xuzhou was determined to win, how could he be willing to let go easily, and said: "Bokang, I also want to stay quietly in the state and county, but everything is impermanent, some things are not what I want to do, and the will of heaven is unpredictable!" ”

"Yes! Providence is unpredictable, and some things are not what you think, I just ask you why you are here? Xu Ding raised his head and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at him, and then sighed: "I'm here to take revenge!"

"If it is revenge, why did you destroy the people, why did you want to commit Xuzhou, do you know how many deaths and injuries are in the land of the three counties? How many miles is the red ground? Xu Ding asked with burning eyes.

Xuzhou! Xuzhou, he wants a peaceful Xuzhou, a stable Xuzhou, Cao Cao did this, it directly became purgatory, how many people died, and Surabaya did not flow, this is the most painful thing for Xu Ding for so many years.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has never had such a violent scene, even if it is killing aliens, it is not so ferocious.

Xu Ding is really angry and angry.

Although Xuzhou is not his Xuzhou, this is a big man, this is a compatriot, they are just a group of defenseless people.

Even if you Cao Cao had a million reasons, he shouldn't do this.

Cao Cao knew that he had a loss, his expression was sneering, and he replied: "Don't misunderstand Bokang, when I first entered Xuzhou, I did have a sense of anger and gave an order for three days, but our army only killed 30,000, and the rest was not done by our army, but by the army of Xuzhou, which is really ......."

"Huh! Meng De, you said that your department only killed 30,000, and you only killed 30,000 of 100,000 people! Xu Ding sneered, stretched out three fingers and stared: "Then you are going to tell me, who did the 70,000?" ”

Cao Cao didn't answer, Chen Deng stood up and replied: "The soldiers of our army found that the people of the Cao family of Tao Qian's general had been haunted nearby, and these 70,000 soldiers should be their doing!" ”

Xu Ding aimed at Chen Deng, this guy really dared to stand up, Xu Ding stood up and walked over slowly, Chen Deng met his gaze, Xu Ding asked: "You have evidence!" ”

"No, if there is, we will directly expose the Cao family and question Tao Qian!" Chen Deng lowered his head, and his tone was not as tough as before.

"Hahaha, what a joke, there is no evidence, why name names, I can also say that you did it, because you know Xuzhou better than anyone here, and you hate Xuzhou more than anyone else!" Xu Ding took a step forward, so squeezed Chen Deng's eyes, so angry that he couldn't speak, do you want to refute? It seems that Xu Ding is really right, if you don't agree temporarily, it's impossible.

Chen Deng was speechless, Xu Ding turned around and sat back in his seat, and then raised his glass to Cao Cao and said: "Meng De, these things have happened, we are not talking about who is right and who is wrong, but your ministry can make a truce, Xuzhou needs stability, no war, you go back to Yanzhou!" ”

Cao Cao knew that Xu Ding would say this, so he didn't raise his glass, but looked into Xu Ding's eyes and said, "Bokang, do you know what I want?" ”

"Just because I know what you want, so Mengde, you should retreat, you can't take Xuzhou, you can't attack Tanxian, if you fight, I have six thousand horsemen, if you fight, my Qingzhou soldiers and horses will cross the border in an instant, and enter Dongjun and Jibei from the east!" Xu Ding and Cao Cao looked at each other for a long time, then raised their heads and drank another glass.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then he opened his eyes and said: "Bokang, you really want to be like this, Tao Qian is not worthy of you to go to war with me, you and I Cao Xu should be married, and conspire to do great things, how about Langya, Donghai, and Guangling!" ”

Cao Cao also showed his charm at this time, remembering half of Xuzhou, and he was very tempted by the conditions.

However, Xu Ding shook his head slightly: "Mengde, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, I want Xuzhou to not rely on intrigue and trickery, and I don't need to tolerate it, you have a better choice, Xuzhou is not suitable for you!" ”

"Weihai Hou, this is our army camp!" Chen Deng reminded.

Tonight, Xu Ding single-knife attached to the meeting, only brought two guards, and remained outside the tent, at this time there were Cao Cao and a group of civil and military officers in the tent, and the outside was full of elite armor.

Who is the knife and who is the fish and meat, it is better understood.

Xu Ding snorted: "I don't need you to remind me, this is Meng De's place, but I am so close to Meng De, no one can stop me, Meng De, do you want to wipe it off?" ”

Xu Ding suddenly raised an eyebrow at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao swallowed his throat.

Needless to say, Xu Ding's martial arts, let alone him, even the four generals of the Cao family, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun, are not necessarily opponents.

Moreover, the other generals in the tent sat so far away.

Xu Ding intervened, and also threatened with the use of force, Cao Cao had to give up the attack on Tan County after deep thought.

Xu Ding was right, with his current foot soldiers, he couldn't withstand the impact of Xu Ding's 6,000 cavalry, and the troops who entered Xu would be left in Xuzhou by Xu Ding.

In addition, once the war starts, Xu Dingqingzhou's troops will definitely cross the border and attack Yanzhou.

Although he has stabilized Yanzhou now, he is not sitting very securely, his military strength is not too strong, especially the grain and grass are not very abundant, and he rashly starts a full-scale war, and he loses more and wins less.

Of course, there is also Xu Ding's sentence that is always spurring him.

Next year there will be a great drought, thousands of miles of red land, and locusts will be raging.

Although he could only half-believe this, he did not dare to be careless.

Xu Ding would not weave such a lie for no reason, he is not such a child's play, and he would never dare to use his reputation to make such a ridiculous joke.

So Cao Cao chose carefully.

Strive for the best interests when things are not possible.

If you can't seize Xuzhou, you can only coerce some people and grab some money and food.

"Okay! I give Bo Kang this face, and I hope that Tao Qian will not forget Bo Kang's love and care. Cao Cao drank the cup, and the bitterness in his heart was indescribable.
