Chapter 16: Goodbye
Brother Meng Dewu, see the words as faces:
I already know everything about the virtuous nephew, although I have regrets, but this time you and I are fighting, not a city and a place, but in the name of orthodoxy, the so-called ......
In Xingyang, after Ye Zhao arrived in Luoyang, Cao Ang's body had already ordered someone to inform Lu Bu to return it to Cao Cao, and at the same time, Ye Zhao personally wrote a letter to Cao Ying.
In Cao Ang's mourning hall, Cao Cao silently read Ye Zhao's letter, to the effect that your son is dead, I also regret it, although it was my son who killed him, but we are now at war, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, not to mention that your son ran to Nanyang, and he was not at ease, you and I are both people who do great things, but a son died, Brother Meng De, you don't mind, otherwise, tomorrow, I will set up a table of vegetarian wine in the Yuting outside Xingyang City, please Brother Meng De, how about you and I get drunk and enmity?
Cao Cao stood up expressionlessly, and in the worried eyes of the civil and military under the tent, he crumpled the letter paper in his hand little by little, the movement was very slow, but very hard, a piece of paper was constantly crumpled by him, and then Cao Cao slammed it to the ground, the originally indifferent face became hideous, and roared loudly outside the mourning hall: "Ye Xiuming, you deceive people too much!" ”
Cao Cao, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, looked at the gloomy sky outside the mourning hall, a few traces of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and said Sen Ran: "Pass on my military order, and order troops to go out tomorrow!" ”
"Lord!" When Xun You heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't be angry and raise troops, this is Ye Zhao's method of agitation, don't be reckless!" ”
Cao Cao gasped fiercely, and said hesitantly: "Angry? Of course I'm angry, I'm not angry at my son's death, I'm only angry that this Ye Xiuming doesn't miss the old feelings, at this moment, I still want to provoke me with letters, provoke me to fight, I have been with him since the middle of the year, and it has been twenty years, twenty years! He didn't even miss the old love! At this moment, all I think about is victory or defeat, but no emotion! ”
"Since the lord knows that Ye Zhao is provoking the lord, let alone fall for his tricks." Xun You helped Cao Cao and persuaded bitterly.
"No, I'm going to meet him for a while!" Cao Cao took a deep breath again, and said with a smile: "I want to see if he Ye Xiuming is really so indifferent and ruthless!" ”
Twenty years of acquaintance, more than ten years of friendship, even when he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, Ye Zhao had already said that between him and Cao Cao, he was just using the relationship, he Cao Cao was just a chess piece of Ye Zhao, but after Ye Zhao entered Shu, Cao Cao still regarded him as a close friend, even if he fought on the battlefield, Cao Cao also regarded Ye Zhao as a friend who could laugh and cut each other, but Ye Zhao's letter made Cao Cao angry at the top of the bull, since Ye Zhao invited him to meet, then Cao Cao went to see it, he wanted to see how cold-blooded the other party would be.
Cao Cao at this moment is undoubtedly impulsive, and in hindsight, he also regrets and breaks out in a cold sweat, but at this moment, Cao Cao's reason has been weakened by anger to a very low level, and it is not difficult to understand when you think about it, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and he is already sad, at this time, the former old friend, and now the person who is also an enemy and a friend, sent a letter to ridicule, which makes Cao Cao not angry.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao ordered his troops and horses to go out of the city and go to the pavilion.
This pavilion is more than 30 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, but it is only 10 miles away from Xingyang.
But when Cao Cao led his army out of the city, Ye Zhao's army had already arrived near the Yu Pavilion, and from a distance, he could see that Ye Zhao had really set up a banquet outside the Yu Pavilion, and was sitting there bored and pouring himself a drink.
Behind Ye Zhao, Dian Wei stood like an iron tower, and there was a scribe beside him, sitting beside Ye Zhao.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, turned his head to Xu Chu behind him and said, "Zhongkang, you go with me." ”
"Lord, think twice!" Xun You looked at Cao Cao a little helplessly.
"He Ye Xiuming dares to go here, why don't I dare?" Cao Cao snorted coldly and walked straight to Ye Zhao with Xu Chu.
Xun You had no choice but to let Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals be ready at all times, and if something happened, they could rescue Cao Cao as soon as possible.
Outside the pavilion, Ye Zhao took a sip of wine, looked at Cao Cao who came over with a black face, his eyes stayed on Xu Chu behind him for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "I thought that you wouldn't come." ”
"How dare you not come?" Cao Cao bit the word old friend very hard.
Ye Zhao was slightly stunned when he heard this, glanced at Cao Cao seriously, sighed, poured a glass of wine for Cao Cao, and sighed: "No, the day you and I see each other again, I'm afraid it will be the time of death and death, so I can only invite Meng De to come and talk about it in this way, so as not to have no one to send him off when one of you and I leaves." ”
"Isn't today the time to decide life and death?" Cao Cao sneered and looked at Ye Zhao.
"Probably not, the time has not come." Ye Zhao shook his head: "There will be victory or defeat in this battle, but life and death are uncertain, you and I should know, no one can swallow each other in one bite, whether I kill you or you kill me at this moment, it is not good in this world, it will only make the world that is gradually calming down now, and there will be twists and turns." ”
"The world?" Cao Cao sneered and picked up the wine, drank it all and said: "Sure enough, it's still so cold, the game of the world has come to this moment, I, Cao Cao, am still a chess piece in your hand today?" ”
"Of course not." Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "The game has been completed, no matter who you and I win in the end, the rise of these ten thousand families has been completed, and now all that remains is for the world to return to one as soon as possible, and return the world to Taipinger." ”
"The scholars have pressed you, but it's enough!" When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Okay, I invited Meng De to come here today, just to catch up on the old days, I've been talking about it for so many years, and I'm a little tired of it, don't talk about this, I'm really sad about the matter of the virtuous nephew." Ye Zhao raised the wine and smiled at Cao Cao: "The wine paid tribute from the Western Regions, you drink it like a cow chewing peonies, it is really a bit tyrannical. ”
"Sad? How could I not see it? When Cao Ang was mentioned, a murderous intent flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, how could the pain of losing a child be revealed so easily.
"How else? Wearing linen and filial piety, weeping bitterly, and beating my rebel son to death, will you believe it? Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and shook his head.
"At least I'll feel better." Cao Cao snorted coldly.
"Mengde, have you ever thought about surrendering to me?" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and suddenly asked, "With the current situation of you and me, if we join forces, we may create a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages!" ”
"Then why didn't you come down to me?" Cao Cao said disdainfully.
"I'm better than you." Ye Zhao said as a matter of course.
"It's not a small tone!" Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Before the war started, how can you believe in yourself?" In terms of population, in terms of troops, how do you compare with me? ”
Although Ye Zhao is now in the land of the four states, but Bingzhou and Xiliang are desolate places, and Guanzhong is not prosperous after the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all populous states, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are rich in grain and grass, and Jizhou is needless to say, in terms of population, Cao Cao stabilized Ye Zhao, and in this era of cold weapons, population means war potential.
"You can't count it like that...... Forget it, I invite you here today, just to catch up on the past, before you and I decide to live and die, we will meet again, lest when I defeat you in the future, you will be hit by a stray arrow, and you will not even be able to see the last side. ”
"Don't worry, Cao's life is very hard, if you die, I won't die!" Cao Cao's face darkened, and he didn't give way.
"The original is gone, and the waste of Yuan Highway is also gone, and now in this world, only you and I are left to be called heroes, why bother to take advantage of your tongue in vain?" Ye Zhao took a sip of wine, looked at Cao Cao and said, "I heard that you gave birth to several sons?" ”
"Not as much as you." Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and said, "You took so many people and horses, you didn't really come out of the city just to meet me, right?" ”
"Or else?" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the letter to provoke you, with your cunning, how could you come here easily?" ”
"What else?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and sneered: "You Ye Xiuming have never been profitable and can't afford to be early, so you are not like you when you come to tell me this at this moment." ”
"Seeing you is the main thing, but of course, there are other things as well." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer: "Let me guess, since Lu Bu has agreed to marry you, but with Lu Bu's temperament, you obviously can't rest assured, so do you want to take this opportunity to merge Lu Bu's men and territory first?" ”
"Meng De is really my confidant." Ye Zhao smiled: "This tiger prison is majestic, Meng De should be clear, there is this pass, you can't beat it, why don't you suspend the army for the time being?" ”
"Wait another two years, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight, if I don't take advantage of this time to compete with you, it will be difficult to suppress the hatred in my heart!" Cao Cao sneered.
"I'm afraid you'll regret it!" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "That little lion in Jiangdong has been restless recently, I have ordered someone to go and promise Sun Quan Guangling's post of Taishou, Meng De won't go back and take a look?" ”
Cao Cao guessed half right, Ye Zhao really wanted to merge Lu Bu first, but since Ye Zhao wanted to do it, he didn't just want to swallow Lu Bu, since Nanyang took it, why not take Jingzhou down the way, if he could get Jingzhou, Ye Zhao could also make up for some of the shortcomings of the population.
"Although the lion is brave, but that Guangling is too guarded by Chen Deng, it is not easy to be with him, the lion may not be able to go down to Guangling, besides, ......" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and sneered: "In the land of Nanyang, you may not be able to do it." ”
"It seems that Meng De still wants to fight with me." Ye Zhao said with some regret: "Meng De is not afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Chu stared at him when he heard this, and took a step forward.
"What for?" Dian Wei snorted coldly, and also took a step forward, confronting Xu Chu-for-tat.
"If these two people fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "If Meng De dies, although the Central Plains will be chaotic, and some people will take advantage of the situation, but I will still benefit the most." ”
"Xiu Ming's swordsmanship, how can he not know?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao, and a crossbow barrel shook out from his sleeve and aimed at Ye Zhao.
Almost at the same time, Ye Zhao took out a small crossbow and pointed it at Cao Cao.
Looking at Cao Cao's movements, Ye Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Meng De, you have learned badly." ”
"This crossbow is cast by a master craftsman, containing 18 crossbow arrows, although it can't be far, but within ten steps, it can pierce through the iron armor, and it is highly poisonous, no matter how powerful Xiu Ming is, it is difficult to escape death." Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and said, "You and I have been friends for twenty years, and I still know some of the habits of Xiuming." ”
"That's it!" Ye Zhao sighed, stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Since this is the case, it seems that you and I can only try our best on the battlefield." ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Cao Cao also got up and said.
"It just so happens that you and my army are here today, so it's better to fight, so that Meng De can die." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and smiled.
"That's exactly what I mean." Cao Cao said as he stepped back.
"Mengde." After each of them withdrew from a safe distance, Ye Zhao suddenly said: "The matter of the virtuous nephew, let's mourn, if it is Zheng'er who dies, I guess I am as angry as you." ”
"Farewell!" Cao Cao didn't speak, turned around and left with a calm face.
"Let's go!" Ye Zhao beckoned to Dian Wei and Guo Jia, glanced at Cao Cao, took a deep breath and said, "Prepare for war!" ”
"Whoa!"
