After exhausting the last trace of strength, this stubborn warrior finally fell.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands helped him up.

"Tiger idiot, that's enough!" Cao Cao said softly with a trembling voice.

Xu Chu looked up and smiled self-deprecatingly.

It seems that he really can't do it, his eyes are spent, otherwise no matter how you look at the lord's eyes, they are all red.

"My father-in-law, the dragon and phoenix among people, the hero of the world, how can he cry......" Xu Chu read vaguely, and finally fell asleep groggily.

"That's right! Your father-in-law is the dragon and phoenix among people, the hero of the world, of course he won't cry! ”

Cao Cao hugged Xu Chu, who had passed out in a coma, and was already in tears.

Wang Tie watched all this silently, and then turned away.

As he stepped over the more than 2,000 corpses, he paused, glanced around, and continued in the direction of the viewing platform.

Cao Cao's presence on the battlefield meant that the battle was over.

When the strategists of the three sides learned the outcome of the battle, they all had expressions of disbelief.

No one expected that Sun Quan, who was considered almost invincible before, was the worst defeated side in this battle.

Not only did the elite cavalry under him all die on the battlefield, but the jade carried by his twenty-four generals also belonged to Liu He.

What everyone didn't expect was that Liu He took the initiative to let Cao Cao go when he had such a big advantage, and he didn't kill them all, but only took the nine jade stones he had taken from Cao Cao in the previous two days.

A few days after the end of the battle, the result of the battle was already known to the streets, and the biggest topic of conversation after tea and dinner was to argue about the reason why Liu He did this.

It's just that they are fighting back and forth, and no one can get to the point.

Because they couldn't have imagined that the reason why Liu He would do this was just because he didn't want Wang Tie to create more killings.

Perhaps this reason, in the eyes of those who have the world in mind, is inevitably a bit of a woman's kindness.

But Liu He felt that this reason was enough.

After the first battle, the pattern of dividing the world into three parts was broken, and the original three-legged situation became a confrontation between the north and the south.

After losing twenty-four pieces of jade, only thirty percent of Sun Quan's territory remained, and half of it was still undeveloped barren land.

In contrast, Cao Cao seemed to be much luckier, he had fifty-two jade stones in his hand before, and after being robbed of nine by Liu He, he still had forty-three fast territory left.

But among the nine jades, there are not only state-level cities like Xiangyang, but also Wancheng, a place where soldiers have fought for since ancient times.

The location of Wancheng can be said to be the south gate of Xuchang, Xuchang is a plain on all sides, and only Wancheng can be guarded in the south.

Opened the checkpoint of Wancheng and went all the way to Xuchang, which can be described as a flat river.

For Xiangyang, a city that originally belonged to the eight Ming cities, Cao Cao had already been mentally prepared to be taken away by his opponent, but he never expected that Wancheng, which he thought was the most secure before, would be lost in this battle.

Because the piece of jade that represents Wancheng has always been on Xu Chu's body.

Before Wang Tie went into battle, Liu He specially told him to bring back the piece of jade on Xu Chu's body, because Liu He knew that what Cao Cao handed over to Xu Chu for safekeeping must be the heaviest one among all his chips.

According to Liu He's instructions, Wang Tie picked a piece of jade from the previous nine pieces of jade in a remote area in Youzhou, and exchanged the piece of jade engraved with the word Wancheng on Xu Chu's body.

Regarding this matter, Cao Cao could only suffer a dumb loss in vain.

Liu He had promised to take only nine jade from him before, and in exchange for Wang Tie, Liu He did not break his promise, but also picked up a big bargain.

He snatched nine jade stones from Cao Cao before, and then snatched twenty-four from Sun Quan, plus the original twenty in Liu He's hand, and at this time, Liu He already had fifty-three in his hands.

This number is just one more than the number of jade in Cao Cao's hands before, which makes many people can't help but speculate in private, maybe this is simply Mr. Tianji, who planned it in advance.

Because of this, Liu He's name of Mr. Tianji soon resounded throughout Kyushu.

In various places, an argument began to circulate.

This argument has also aroused the interest of celebrities from all walks of life, and even some people have openly stood up and expressed their position, believing that the only person who can really gain insight into the heavenly machine today is the Mr. Tianji in Shudi.

As for Liu He's other nickname when he was in Xiangyang, Mr. Rogue has long been forgotten.

But a scoundrel is a scoundrel, even if he can really gain insight into the heavens, it is still easy to change his nature.

At this time, this scoundrel was sitting in Cao Cao's mansion, drinking tea leisurely, with a gloating expression on his face.

After the battle, Sun Quan, who returned with a feather, led people back to Soochow on the same day.

And Liu He not only did not return to Chengdu, but also followed Cao Cao all the way to Xuchang.

On the way, Cao Cao asked many times to find out what Liu He wanted to do, but Liu He just refused to say it, and sold it all the way to Xuchang.

When he came to Xuchang, Liu He didn't leave, and Cao Cao sent people to serve Liu He with good food and drink for three days, and Liu He ran to Cao Cao's mansion by himself, saying that he wanted to talk to Cao Cao about a big deal.

This deal is really not small, Liu He plans to sell Wancheng, which has just arrived, to Cao Cao.

Liu He's offer price is really not low, the lion's asking price is 30 million taels of silver, this figure is almost equal to half a year's tax from all of Cao Cao's territories.

Considering the importance of Wancheng's geographical location, this is obviously a starting price, which is barely acceptable.

If you are reluctant to give up the 30 million taels of silver, the south gate of Xuchang will be open to Liu He.

Although the three sides have made a truce, no one can keep it on the same page, and no one will openly tear up the contract and provoke trouble again.

Now Liu He's territory can almost be said to be on par with Cao Cao, in case Liu He raises troops to the north, the fall of Xuchang is only a matter of time.

Cao Cao's asking price of 3,000 taels of silver for Liu He was actually acceptable, but what he couldn't accept was another additional condition for Liu He.

This is also the reason why Liu He followed Cao Cao to Xuchang with a dead face, he wanted to take this opportunity to enter the palace again and meet today.

Wancheng is important, that is because Xuchang is more important, Xuchang is important, that is because the Han family in the Xuchang Palace is the most important.

Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes, of course knew better than anyone else that this account was calculated.
