Tao Qian and the others were discussing how to get Xiao Pei back, and Cao Cao was also noisy here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the info tent, the text is left and right, and the column is second. Now Cao Cao has won a decisive victory in the face of a three-sided attack, whether it is the Black Mountain Army in the north, the Southern Xiongnu, or Yuan Shu in the south, they have all fled with their tails between their legs. Only Tao Qian in the east is left, and he has not completely solved it.

It's just that now everyone is arguing about the bottom line of the negotiation. Although Gao Ye proposed to exchange Xiao Pei and the Cao family's father and son for grain and grass, for a general like Xiahoudun, how could the land that had been obtained be returned to Xuzhou for no reason? What's more, Xiao Pei is of strategic significance for the attack on Xuzhou, and this time there is Cao Bao's straw bag, which makes Gao Ye easily get it. Next time, if you change to a capable person and garrison tens of thousands of troops, how can you easily capture it?

Xiahoudun's words should also be in harmony with the psychology of many generals, Le Jin, Yu Ban also held the same opinion as Xiahoudun, and even Xun You felt that Tao Qian would never exchange much food. The most important thing is that Xun Yu's urgent letter has reached Cao Cao's hands, and everyone definitely doesn't have so much time to drag it out to have a negotiation with Tao Qian. Therefore, in the lobby at this time, everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions on how to negotiate.

"Lord, if you want me to see it, just go all out and knock Xuzhou down! Save so much trouble. "With such an irritable voice, who else can there be besides Xiahoudun? In this battle, Xiahoudun can be regarded as taking advantage of it, whether it is the Black Mountain Army or the Southern Xiongnu, they are simply vulnerable under Cao Cao's men. Yu Poison didn't talk about it, Cao Cao was surrounded by Wei to save Zhao, and he killed a piece of armor without leaving behind. That Yu Fuluo guarded Neihuang, and under the attack of Lejin, he did not hold it for even a day. Yuan Shu in the south was even more miserable, and the 100,000 army was killed by Gao Ye, and this kind of record really gave Xiahoudun the illusion that Cao's army was invincible in the world.

"Yuan Rang, after all, now that we are waiting for the army to run out of food, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to storm Xuzhou. Calm down and listen to what everyone has to say. Cao Cao was playing a round on the side.

"Yes, now Tao Qian is ready in Pengcheng, this Pengcheng is a fortified city, and now there are 30,000 horses stationed there, so it's not easy to fight. Besides, my Yanzhou soldiers and horses have fought bloody battles repeatedly, and now they are also exhausted, and it is not safe to attack the city rashly. Xun You shook his head again and again.

Xiahoudun wanted to say more, but don't interrupt at night. Gao Ye stretched out his hand to signal Xiahoudun to be calm and not to be impatient, and said himself: "What Gongda said is reasonable. Now our army is exhausted and it is difficult to fight again. Even if the grain and grass can be replenished from Xuzhou, in this way, the lord has also lost the hearts of the people of Xuzhou. So not. ”

"What Gao Taishou said is very true." Xun Yu echoed on the side.

"What's more, I know that there is a great talent in Peng City, although this person is not very old, but his courage and strategy are the best choices......" Gao Ye said, briefly explaining Chen Deng's origin and story, after all, as a traverser, he knows much more about some things than people in this era. Therefore, after Gao Ye introduced Chen Deng, even Cao Cao couldn't help but praise this person a few words. “…… With Chen Deng here, we want to take Pengcheng easily, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. When the time comes, the military rations will be exhausted, and we will only have to retreat. When the time comes, a lot of elites will be lost in vain, but there will be no size work, so why bother. ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, he also frowned, to be honest, his position as the first general of Cao Ying was irreversibly reduced to the second place after the arrival of Gao Ye, which was not a happy thing for the arrogant Xiahoudun. However, Gao Ye's fame and achievements are there, and he is not his opponent in terms of martial arts, so he can be regarded as acquiescing to this fact. Fortunately, Gao Ye was not difficult to get along with, and even pulled him to start a furniture business with Xiahou Yuan and others. Under the annual offensive of spending money in vain, it is naturally difficult for Xiahoudun to be hostile to Gao Ye. Now Gao Ye disagrees with him, although he is a little dissatisfied, he does not open his mouth to continue to refute.

I only heard Guo Jia say beside him: "Now we are waiting for Xiao Pei and the Cao family father and son to negotiate with Xuzhou, if Chen Deng really has such talent, he will definitely guess the fact that we are unable to attack, and when the time comes, we must be careful that he deliberately delays." Jia is only afraid that Chen Deng will deliberately drag me until my food and grass are exhausted, and when the time comes, I am afraid that when I have to retreat, I am afraid that not only will I not get much benefit, but even if I retreat, I must be careful of the other party's sneak attack. ”

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable!" A loud voice rang out suddenly, and it was Cheng Yu, who had been listening for a long time. Cheng Yu is already powerful, and although he is not young now, his body is quite strong, so his voice is also very loud. I only heard him say on the side: "But since we are using the Cao family's father and son as bargaining chips, if Tao Qian delays, we only need to send someone to walk around Xuzhou to spread rumors, saying that Tao Qian disregarded the lives of his subordinates, and that Tao Qian has the best reputation, so he can't help but not give in." ”

Gao Ye heard that it was a pleasure, this Cheng Yu was really a ruthless person. Think about it, in history, Cao Jun was short of food, and it was this Cheng Yu who suggested that Cao Cao use human flesh for food; Xu Shu killed Cao Ren in Xinye, and it was this Cheng Yu who kidnapped Xu Shu's old mother to Xuchang and forced Xu Shu to comply. Now he thought of using the trick of spreading rumors to deal with Tao Qian, who likes fame, not only ruthlessly, but also in the right way.

Gao Ye said with a smile when he heard this: "In this way, this rumor not only wants to talk about how cold Tao Qian is, but also how loyal this Cao Bao is to Tao Qian, it is also very necessary!" After Gao Ye said this, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun You all nodded again and again, and even Cao Cao laughed heartily, bluntly saying that Gao Ye must lose Tao Qian's reputation before he is willing.

This matter came to an end for the time being under Gao Ye's speechless expression, and Cao Cao immediately spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have newly occupied four and a half counties, the appointment of officials is also a big deal. I wonder what you think? Cao Cao said, and looked at Gao Ye.

Gao Ye naturally just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am not familiar with the other civil and military generals under the lord, don't ask me about this." Anyway, I obey orders. It's just that no matter where the lord transfers me, don't forget to let me bring my family with me. You said that I just got married, and it was when I was mixing oil in honey, and I was always called out to fight by your lord. This time it's a big victory, why don't you reward me with some treasures, and let me take it back to coax Yan'er. ”

Gao Ye's words were rude, and even a little rude, although Xun You and Gao Ye knew each other, they were not familiar with each other, so they were naturally embarrassed. Even Cheng Yu was full of anger, in Guo Jia's words, this Cheng Yu is best a teacher, seeing Gao Ye behaving like this, how could he not be angry. Even the four generals Xiahoudun, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban were dumbfounded. However, Guo Jia laughed on the side, and even said that Gao Ye was greedy again, and he was going to go home from Cao Cao's greedy treasure.

Cao Cao also had a wry smile on his face, this Gao Ye, joking is really no matter where he is, although he found that Gao Ye was very greedy for money, but he really didn't know that Gao Ye was greedy for this part. It's a meeting now, and that's not serious. Therefore, Cao Cao, who was holding back his smile, immediately criticized Gao Ye's untimely behavior, and then happily said that he would definitely prepare something good for Gao Ye.

With the end of the high night joke, Cao Cao also had a proper arrangement for the appointment of officials for the time being. Then the topic of moving the governance office to Yingchuan was mentioned, and everyone also expressed their opinions, but both Xun You and Guo Jia supported Cao Cao's proposal. First, Yingchuan is prosperous, everyone knows it, and Yingchuan is a high city and deep pool, which is difficult to overcome. Second, Dongjun is on the edge of the Yellow River, across the river from Yuan Shao's Jizhou. In the future, if it is fought with Yuan Shao, Dongjun will bear the brunt of it, and it will be difficult to serve as Cao Cao's base camp and give Cao Cao firm support. As the largest city under Cao Cao, Yingchuan seems to be a matter of course as Cao Cao's place of governance. However, for such a major event, it is still necessary to return to Dongjun and discuss it with Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others, after all, when it comes to government affairs, Xun Yu has to be the most clever.

Finally, everyone discussed the price of the negotiation with Xuzhou, and then the meeting finally ended. Fortunately, Xuzhou didn't let everyone wait long, but three days later, Cao Cao received a report from the school, saying that there was a person outside the city who claimed to be a messenger from Xuzhou and came to see the lord. Cao Cao then led his subordinates to meet the Xuzhou envoy who came to negotiate in the lobby.

"I was engaged in Mizhu under the Assassin History Account in Xuzhou, and I saw Cao Yanzhou." After the man came in, he saluted Cao Cao who was on the throne, this person not only had a good appearance, but also spoke and behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly, which made Cao Cao look down on him. As for Gao Ye on the side, he looked at him carefully, this is Mi Zhu, he is really a handsome guy. Chen Shou commented on his "graceful demeanor", and it was really not bad at all. His younger brother Mi Fang doesn't have the temperament of Mi Zhu, what Mi Fang shows is more of the courage of a military general, and he doesn't have the aura of poetry and writing like his brother at all.

But also, if he didn't have such a look, how could he have a sister who was alluring to the country and the city? Speaking of his sister, that's really a fascinating woman......

"Ahem, Mingxi." Gao Ye was suddenly awakened by Cao Cao's coughing, only to find that the people around him were all looking at him. I don't know if I said it or did something embarrassing after I was distracted just now. Seeing that Mi Zhu was saluting him, he hurriedly returned the salute and apologized.

It's just that Cao Cao on the side smiled and said, "Mingxi, what are you thinking, Mr. Zizhong greeted you, and you didn't even know it?" ”

Gao Ye also smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "I have known Mr. Zizhong's younger brother Mi Zifang for a long time, and I naturally know a lot about the Xuzhou Mi family. Now that I see that Mr. Zizhong has been sent here, I think Tao Qian will not be good to you. Good things are always yours, and when it comes to such danger, I can only think of you. In this way, how can I not worry about Mr. Zizhong and the Mi family. ”
