Chapter 169: Capture the Dragon
When Cao Cao said this, his expression was generous and sincere, and his tone was sincere, as if he was a loyal minister.
Su Zhe almost believed it.
He soon remembered that Cao Cao in history coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to wipe out the heroes, and at the same time, he also forced the Han Emperor to be crowned the king of Wei.
You must know that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, left a legacy, not the Liu family but the king, and the world will fight against him.
Claiming the throne is definitely a harbinger of usurpation.
Although Cao Cao was in front of him, he did not take the step of usurping the throne, but he paved the way for his son.
As soon as Cao Cao died, Cao Pi, with the support of his ministers, easily forced the Han Emperor Chan to give up the throne and ascended to the throne.
Cao Cao in front of him was actually generous, and he kept saying that he wanted to be a famous minister of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, he also wanted to pull him Su Zhe to surrender and assist him in achieving the great cause of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty.
"Cao Cao, are you acting with me, or are you acting from the bottom of your heart, this is a bit unscientific......"
Su Zhe looked at the impassioned Cao Cao, silent for a while, and his thoughts were racing.
Cao Cao saw that he didn't speak, and thought that he was moved, and a little excitement burst out from his sunken eyes, and asked again: "How about it, Su Ziming, have you figured it out, come on, come to me, let's create a miracle together." ”
Under the emotion, Cao Cao even opened his arms and put on a posture of waiting for Su Zhe to "throw himself into his arms".
"I didn't expect Cao Cao to be so unrestrained, no wonder he can write such unrestrained and heroic poems, but it's a pity that I don't want to hug a man......" Su Zhe shivered, and got goosebumps all over his body.
Taking a light breath and calming down the feeling of numbness, Su Zhe sighed helplessly: "Your words really moved me badly, I almost wanted to kneel to you, but unfortunately, I, Su Zhe, have not been stupid enough to listen to a few impassioned words of loyalty from you, so I bowed my head and bowed, and surrendered sincerely, if I am really so good to be said to surrender, I am afraid that I am not worthy of being so appreciated by you Cao Mengde, are you right." ”
Cao Cao's face was full of excitement and enthusiasm, and he was suddenly poured cold water on Su Zhe's words with a hidden ironic refusal, and he was half cold.
His face immediately darkened.
"You Cao Mengde a month ago, you were just a mere Dongjun Taishou, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, you would subdue a million yellow scarves and sit on the land of a state, so who is strong and who is weak, unpredictable, who can say for sure."
Su Zhe's eyebrows lit up with pride, "So this important task of protecting the Son of Heaven will not bother you Cao Mengde, since I dare to accept the Son of Heaven, I have absolute confidence to protect the Son of Heaven, no matter which way you so-called strong man wants to get involved in the Son of Heaven, I promise that he will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
After an arrogant declaration, Su Zhe rejected Cao Cao's "kindness".
Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy, and the color of relief gradually faded, and then it was replaced by a fierce killing machine that gradually surged.
He stared at Su Zhe with a frown, and said coldly: "Since you are so confident, it seems that this war between you and me is inevitable, do you really have the confidence to resist my 30,000 elite soldiers with a mere 5,000 people?" ”
"If Meng De doesn't believe in evil, he can give it a try." Su Zhe's tone was calm, revealing a bit of arrogance.
"Okay, crazy enough!"
Cao Cao waved his hand, and laughed again: "Although you are very conceited, you still have a great appetite for me, since I can't say that I will surrender to you now, then I can only defeat you with my own hands, and if you kill you, I will surrender to me." ”
The corners of Su Zhe's mouth swept up with a hint of playfulness, and he sneered: "Meng De, don't talk too early, maybe, in a few days, you will have to retreat without a fight." ”
Retreat without a fight?
Cao Cao was stunned, his eyes turned a few times, and he failed to understand the meaning of Su Zhe's words.
He thought that Su Zhe was just saying a casual word, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately smiled disapprovingly, turned his horse and turned away.
At the end of the meeting, Su Zhe also turned around and went back to Duyang City.
……
Half an hour later, Su Zhe was already sitting in the big tent of Duyang City, drinking a little wine to quench his thirst.
"Oops, so much spittle wasted, I'm dying of thirst."
Su Zhe complained in his mouth, didn't pay attention to any decency, picked up the wine jug and poured it directly up, so he couldn't be free.
"Lord, what is the outcome of the meeting, and what is Cao Cao's purpose?" Li Yan couldn't wait to ask.
Su Zhe poured all the wine, smacked his tongue a few times, and then said disapprerovitically: "It's nothing, then Cao Cao is nothing more than under the banner of protecting the Son of Heaven, wanting me to give the Son of Heaven to him for protection, and also wants me to surrender to him and assist him in what he is a minister of Zhongxing." ”
"Before the two armies went to war, he wanted the lord to surrender without a fight? Well, it seems that this Cao Cao is also a person who does not act according to common sense. Li Yan sighed, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
"Extraordinary people naturally like to do extraordinary things, and there is nothing to make a fuss about." Su Zhe said, leaning over, grabbing a handful of broad beans and chewing them.
Li Yan looked at Su Zhe's "lazy" appearance, and thought to himself, don't talk about others, you are not a normal person, you are somewhat similar to that Cao Cao.
After a little hesitation, Li Yan asked again: "Then the lord has agreed?" ”
"Of course it can't be, you're stupid." Su Zhe said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, the lord has come to this point so easily, how can he surrender because of a few words from Cao Cao, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to do it, and this eternal laughing stock is a certainty."
Li Yan sighed with emotion, and said: "It's just that if the lord doesn't surrender, he can only carry Cao Cao, the other party has 30,000 elite soldiers, and he is carrying the remnants of subduing millions of yellow turbans, and he is in full swing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”
His voice fell, Hu Che'er patted his head, and hurriedly said: "By the way, there is also an urgent report from the south of Fangcai, Liu Biao has sent Huang Zu to lead 60,000 troops to attack the north bank of the Han River, and has surrounded Fancheng into an iron bucket array." ”
Su Zhe didn't look a trace of surprise, Liu Biaobing besieged Fancheng, which he had expected.
He had faith in Gan Ning.
Li Yan said: "After all, Gan Xingba only has 2,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to hold out for long, we must quickly solve Cao Cao, so that we can return to Fancheng in time, but ......"
It's just that Li Yan didn't say the next words, but just sighed lightly.
Obviously, even the conceited Li Yan thought that Cao Cao was a strong enemy, and under Cao Cao's offensive, it would be good to be able to hold the plug and prevent Cao's army from continuing to go south.
In the big tent, it fell silent, and even Hu Che'er didn't have the confidence to shout.
After chewing the last broad bean, Su Zhe patted the residue on his hand, and said with a relaxed smile: "Who said that we can't quickly retreat Cao Cao, Zhengfang, when did you become so pessimistic, this is not like your style." ”
Li Yan was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Could it be that the lord has a clever plan to defeat Cao Cao?" ”
"I want to remind you, I just said to 'retreat' Cao Cao quickly, I didn't say that I want to 'defeat' Cao Cao quickly." Su Zhe picked out the words.
Li Yan's eyes were suspicious, and he asked rhetorically, "Is there a difference?" ”
"Of course there's a difference." Su Zhe said seriously, "Defeat means that we have to fight Cao Cao in order to make him retreat from defeat, and 'retreat', it is possible to let Cao Cao roll up and roll up by himself without eliminating a single soldier, do you say there is a difference between this." ”
Li Yan was confused by Su Zhe at this time, and he didn't understand what he meant at all.
Could it be that Cao Cao can still retreat without a fight?
This is a bit of a fantasy, people come from afar, just to snatch the Son of Heaven, neither defeated, but also have enough food and grass, why retreat without a fight, and return in vain?
"Oh, I'm still a little tired after going out of the city." Su Zhe stretched, "I want to sleep first, have a sweet dream, you go and prepare to guard the sun, don't worry about anything else, just wait for Cao Cao to roll up and get out." ”
As he spoke, Su Zhe supported his forehead with his hand, and lazily leaned on the desk, and in a moment's effort, he actually snored.
Li Yan and Hu Che'er glanced at each other, and had to retreat.
"Where does the lord get his confidence, he won't expect to defeat Cao Jun by a sudden celestial anomaly, how can there be such a lucky person in this world......"
Li Yan muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
……
The camp of the Cao army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
Cao Cao drank the thirst-quenching wine, moistened his throat, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked with a smile: "Zhongde, you know now, why didn't I drive south, but waited for Su Zhe to arrive." ”
"Yu understands, it turns out that the lord has always admired Na Su Zhe and wants to surrender to him." Cheng Yu sighed.
"Then do you think, is this Su Ziming worth it for me to do this?" Cao Cao put down his glass and asked again.
Cheng Yu said: "The lord's ability to recognize people is really good, no matter what Su Zhe's ability is, just in terms of his response to the meeting with the lord today, the momentum he showed, this person is definitely not human." ”
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised a hint of pride.
"It's a pity." Cheng Yu changed his words, but sighed again: "This person is not ambitious, and he is too arrogant, how can such a person easily submit to the lord." ”
Cao Cao's face burned with a hint of pride, and he snorted coldly: "What fun can you have in taming a sheep, taming a lion will give you a sense of accomplishment." ”
Cheng Yu was stunned, but sighed with a smile: "It seems that the lord treats Su Zhe as a lion, but the name of the family is 'Wolong', but I am afraid that it is far more difficult to tame than a lion." ”
"Even if he is a dragon, he is also 'lying', since he is lying down, it means that he is waiting to be ridden, well, riding a dragon is much more interesting than riding a lion......"
Cao Cao said that he was getting more and more energetic, and his scorched face couldn't hide his excitement.
Cheng Yu didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he said: "In any case, Su Zhe rejected the lord's kindness today, what is the lord going to do next." ”
"Do you still need to ask, if he doesn't accept it, of course he will be beaten until he is convinced." Cao Cao waved his hand, and a murderous aura suddenly rose in his tone.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Since the lord has made up his mind, then let's discuss how to kill this Wolong and be a minister." ”
Before the words fell, a personal soldier hurried in and delivered an urgent silk report.
Cao Cao opened the silk book and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.
