For three days, Cao Tai's heart has been hanging, and he can't fall into his belly. Because the Ma family's reaction was beyond his expectations, only one Qin Yu shuttled back and forth between the post house where he stayed and Chang'an Shangshutai, constantly passing on words, it seemed that both sides were testing each other's bottom lines, and both were fighting for their own best interests. But Cao Tai knew in his heart that such a situation was ...... Very abnormal!

On the surface, this negotiation seems to be another peace between the two families, but it is obvious that the Ma family is the strong party in this negotiation. According to the prediction, Ma Chao should summon himself immediately, whether it is a war of words, or a strong oppression, or even simply not speaking any reason and speaking with his fists, Ma Chao should also squeeze the oil and water that can be squeezed from Cao's body as quickly as possible...... But now, only one official of the Ministry of Rites is allowed to pass back and forth, this attitude of not being in a hurry is really abnormal!

Cao Tai was very irritable at the moment, and he didn't intend to blink his eyes to see his anxious and failed face in the mirror, he suddenly rose an unspeakable anger, waved his hand, and smashed the dressing glass to the ground - a man's house, put such a huge dressing glass, isn't this an insinuation that he is too feminine?!

Qing Yue's cracking sound did not soothe Cao Tai's anger, but made him more and more irritable. He wanted to go out for a walk, and when he thought of the two guards at the door, his heart became even more angry!

'No, this situation is absolutely not normal, I must find a way to spread the news to Xuchang. Cao Tai said to himself in his heart, but when he thought of Chang'an, which was like an impregnable wall, Jing'an Cao sacrificed seven elite dead soldiers and couldn't get in, Cao Tai felt that he was as angry as a mouse in the bellows!

"When will Lord Qin Yu come?" For the first time, Cao Tai took the initiative to give up his reserve and asked the guards outside the door. Although the original purpose was to come to Chang'an to delay the attention of the Ma family, the Ma family's initiative to let him achieve his goal made him unable to control it anymore.

Before the guard could speak, Han Feng's figure in the distance walked slowly, looking at Qin Yu's steady steps, Cao Tai's woman-like eyebrows furrowed tightly. And, contrary to the usual, this time he hadn't stretched his eyebrows into his usual warmth before Qin Yu found out - this time, behind Qin Yu, there was also a person, Cao Ang.

"Lord Qin, this? ......" When Qin Yu walked in front of him, Cao Tai pointed at Cao Ang and asked.

"Oh, the lord knows that Lord Cao is bored here, so he arranged for Lord Zixiu to live with the adult." Qin Yu replied unhurriedly.

"Then yesterday we talked about the meaning of redeeming the two generals Lejin and Li Dian and the hussar generals by ransom? ......" Cao Tai saw the hidden worry on Cao Ang's face, and deliberately shifted the conversation to this sensitive topic.

"Hey, my lord also knows that the lord has a lot of admiration for famous generals and good men, and I am afraid that this redemption will be ...... Alas, since Lord Cao raised this matter again today, I will go back and explain this matter to the lord in detail, so that the peace between the two families can enter the substantive stage as soon as possible. With that, Qin Yu turned around and was about to leave. Cao Tai's intuition was inappropriate, but as soon as he was about to speak, he saw Cao Ang winking at him, and couldn't help swallowing the 'stay' that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

"Zixiu, but I got the inside information of the Ma family?!" Quickly invited Cao Ang into the house, Cao Tai closed the door and asked reflexively. The abnormality of the past three days has made Cao Tai a little impatient.

"The Ma family is already in the front line of Zhongmu, Changshe, and Yangzhai, and the Ma family army in the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass is also ready to move, depending on the situation, this time the Ma family wants to coerce us to compromise as soon as possible!"

Cao Ang frowned, this news was not something he overheard with great difficulty. It was revealed when Ma Chao was chatting with Le Jin, Li Dian and himself, although he knew in his heart that Ma Chao was deliberately letting himself reveal the news to Cao Tai today, but the main player was strong and the guest was weak, and Ma Chao played openly and honestly, so Cao Ang himself couldn't help but confide it.

When Cao Tai heard this, his face was slightly stunned. In the entire Ma family, if there are still troops with combat power, there is only the Ma family army that tightly guards the pass of the southern line of the Ma family. And the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tiger Prison and Bishui, Ma Chao has always been the last retreat to the north, and has never been mobilized. Unexpectedly, today, the Ma family's last breath of combat power suddenly showed off, but it became an important weight for the discussion and negotiation of the Deyang Palace in Chang'an.

Now in this situation, since the Ma family is ready to move, the Cao family will definitely send troops to confront it at the cost of overdraft of military rations. Although there was no possibility of any fierce battle, the constant pressure exerted by the Ma family was something that the Cao family was unwilling to bear. Even, Cao Ang and Cao Tai both believed that if necessary, Ma Jiajun would deliberately fight a few small-scale fierce battles, and then let some officials within the Cao family take the initiative to persuade Cao Cao to negotiate peace as soon as possible.

While hospitying guests and dragging themselves steadily in the inn; On the other hand, he behaved domineeringly at the border, making the Cao family mess up. I have to say that Ma Chao's current tricks have completely departed from the category of conspiracy and entered the realm of yang conspiracy that is penetrating at a glance but cannot be prevented.

However, if this is really the case, it is still good news for Cao Tai. Therefore, after he was only slightly stunned and thought through everything, he showed a smile that could almost turn everyone upside down: "Zixiu, since the Ma family is blind, then we can plan it!" At that moment, Cao Tai quietly informed Cao Ang of Huainan Yuan Shu.

Cao Ang is also a person with seven tricks, and he doesn't need Cao Tai to explain them one by one, he understands the tricks. With the hole cards in his hand, he also had no fear, and turned to discuss with Cao Tai how to continue to delay the Ma family without a trace.

After this day, Qin Yu still played the role of a peace messenger, shuttling back and forth between the two places. After constant bargaining, the two sides only tug-of-war on the core issue of Jizhou. Although at this time, Ma Chao had privately stated that he could not want the four counties of Wei County, Yangping County, Pingyuan County, and Leling Kingdom, which had been actually controlled by the Cao family-after all, the Ma family's current pace is too big, and the cost of swallowing these four counties is far greater than the future benefits, even if Cao Cao gives him his hand, he will shake his head and refuse - but now, the Ma family is just biting Jizhou is their own, and the covenant between the two families is clearly written, and the Cao family must return it.

Cao Ang and Cao Tai naturally did not let go of their mouths on this issue, even if they were ridiculed by Qin Yu like a grandson once, the two of them gritted their teeth and played shamelessly: the four counties that the Ma family looked down on, for the Cao family, but they fought hard for 100,000 soldiers and horses in exchange for the fragrant gluttony, Cao Ang and Cao Tai just threw their lives in Chang'an, and they did not dare to lose the four counties in the peace negotiations.

The two families are like this, and I generally regard these four counties as an insurmountable hurdle, but when Qin Yu reported to Ma Chao on the seventh day, Ma Chao held his chin and sneered: "These two guys are really good." However, it's been seven days, and the big battle in Runan must have started, right? ”

It was not Qin Yu who answered Ma Chao, but Xun You, who was in charge of military affairs: "Back to the lord, if everything goes well, there will be information tomorrow." ”

"Very well, then let's not hide it." Ma Chao raised his head and looked at Qin Yu, and said with a smile: "Tell those two young people, just say that tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in Chengping Palace, and the matter of peace will be brought to a final end!" ”

"But......." Qin Yu was shocked when he heard this, and stepped forward to dissuade him: "These two people didn't say a word about Cao Cao's promise, if there is news of defeat at the banquet tomorrow, then won't we all be defeated?" ”

But Ma Chao seemed to have a lot of confidence in Liu Bei, and waved his big hand and said: "If Liu Bei can't even resist the Cao army that is pinned down by the Ma family's army, and even Sun Ce, who has been fighting for half a year and is alone in depth, then he will be of little value to the Ma family!" ”

'The people of the world are too underestimated to be the man who weaves mats and sells shoes....... this sentence, Ma Chao only said to himself in his heart.
