Cao Cao didn't believe Cao Shuo's claims at first.

It wasn't until he came to Liucheng and saw the Wuhuan people waiting outside the city from a distance that Cao Cao really believed it.

Lou Ban came to Cao Jun with Nanlou and several other Wuhuan nobles.

Sitting in the handsome tent, Cao Cao stood Cao Shuo and Cao Pi next to him.

The staff and generals stood on either side.

Xu Chu led Lou Ban and the others into the tent.

made a big salute to Cao Cao, and Lou Ban said: "Wuhuan Da Dan is in Lou Ban, knock to see Cao Gong." ”

"Da Dan Yu knocks on Cao Gong?" Cao Cao smiled and said to the left and right: "Why do I think this sentence sounds very strange? ”

The generals and staff members laughed.

The faces of Lou Ban and the others were very strange.

With an embarrassed face, Lou Ban said to Cao Cao: "Wuhuan has always been attached to the Han, and without the Han, there would be no Wuhuan." Cao Gong is now an important minister under the Han Dynasty, and it is nothing to bow to Cao Gong as a big order. ”

"We are at war with Wu Huan, and the army has already arrived in the city, so what did Da Dan Yu do when he came to see me without organizing resistance?" Cao Cao asked Lou Ban.

"It's not Wuhuan who fights with Cao Gong, it's just a stumbling." Lou Ban said: "Badun is just a king of Wuhuan, how can he make decisions on behalf of the Wuhuan people?" ”

"Since he can't make decisions instead of the Wuhuan people, why can he use so many troops?" Cao Cao said: "This time to conquer Wuhuan, our Cao family has paid a lot of price. What does Da Shan Yu think should be done with this matter? ”

When Cao Cao asked him like this, the expression on Lou Ban's face became more and more embarrassed.

Without waiting for him to speak, Cao Shuo said on the side: "Father, I think Da Shan is sincere. ”

"How?" Cao Cao glanced at him.

"If there is no sincerity, how can you come to your father's account with a big order?" Cao Shuo said: "They just need to defend Liucheng, although it is also a broken city in the end, but before that, it can bring some small troubles to our Cao family." ”

"There seems to be some truth to that." Cao Cao nodded.

"If my father agrees, I can do it for me in the peace talks with Da Danyu." Cao Shuo said: "If Da Dan is sincere, and we are sincere, this battle will not have to be fought again." ”

was very embarrassed by Cao Cao, Cao Shuo opened his mouth to speak, somewhat easing the embarrassing atmosphere, and when Lou Ban looked at him, his eyes showed gratitude.

"Are you sure you can make peace?" Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo.

"It's not easy to find a result that is satisfactory to both parties." Cao Shuo said: "After all, there must be a process of peace talks, and my father should not be in a hurry, I went to my account with Da Dan Yu to discuss in detail, I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

"I'm really tired of marching and fighting for days." Cao Cao said: "I'll leave it to you to deal with." ”

"Thank you, father." Cao Shuo thanked Cao Cao, and then said to Lou Ban: "Please also ask Da Danyu to move, how about going to my account?" ”

"Obey the orders of Cao Gong and Gongzi." Lou Ban answered.

Cao Shuo led Lou Ban and the others to leave. Xun You said to Cao Cao: "Gong Cao, it seems that the method that Gongzi said before can be used. ”

"I don't know how he was sure that the Wuhuan people would not want to fight again." Cao Cao said: "If his method really works, we can indeed get a lot of benefits from this expedition to Wuhuan." ”

led Lou Ban and the others out of Cao Cao's tent, and Cao Shuo took them to his tent.

After entering the tent, he said to Lou Ban and the others: "There is no need to be restrained here, please take a seat." ”

Lou Ban and Nanlou and others thanked each other and sat down one after another.

Cao Shuo asked: "Liucheng is not a small city, if you stick to it, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for three or two months, I don't know why Da Shan Yu took the initiative to negotiate peace with our Cao family?" ”

"Don't hide it." Lou Ban said: "Badun had taken away my position as Shan Yu before, and I hated him to the core, just because he had the power of the army in his hands, and I couldn't do anything to him, only by him." This time, the Cao family's army conquered Wuhuan, not only did not do me any harm, but it got rid of my henchmen for me, how could I be an enemy of the Cao family again? ”

"If Da Shan Yu said that, I would be able to understand it." Pinching his chin, Cao Shuo nodded, and said to Lou Ban: "But if the sincerity is insufficient, I'm afraid my father won't agree." ”

"What kind of sincerity does Cao Gong want us to give?" Lou Ban asked.

"Our army is still outside Liucheng, and the peace talks between the two sides are just casual remarks." Cao Shuo said: "If Da Shan Yu really has the determination to negotiate peace, it is better for us to drive the army into the city." As for how to negotiate peace, we will talk about it slowly later. How? ”

"It's nothing to invite Cao Jun into the city." Lou Ban said: "It's just that how can I believe that after entering the city, Cao Jun will not slaughter the Wuhuan people in the city?" ”

"If our army wants to slaughter the Wuhuan people, Da Dan Yu can stop it?" Cao Shuo asked.

was stunned by his question, and Lou Ban didn't say anything.

Nanlou said on the side: "If Gongzi Ken publicly says that he will not embarrass the Wuhuan people, we welcome the army into the city." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "I can now declare to the outside world that once the army enters the city, it is strictly forbidden to make any unfriendly actions against the Wuhuan people in the name of my Cao Shuo." ”

He and Nanlou glanced at each other, and Lou Ban did not say anything.

Nanlou said to Cao Shuo: "We Wuhuan people have also heard of the name of Gongzi, it is said that Gongzi has never been merciless in killing people, will it be ...... to us Wuhuan people?"

"The Wuhuan people are the Wuhuan people, and the Wuhuan people are the Wuhuan people." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said: "The people have always been cruel, and the villages they have looted have never been grassy, could it be that the Wuhuan people are also like this?" ”

"Not really." Nanlou said: "Although we Wuhuan people can also plunder, we have never been as ...... as the Qiang people."

"If that's the case, what's there to worry about?" Cao Shuo said: "After our Cao family's army enters the city, I promise that the soldiers will not loot the Wuhuan people, and the city does not dare to say that it is better than before, at least not worse than before." ”

"Childe is a hero." Nanlou said: "We Wuhuan people respect heroes, and all the heroes say, Wuhuan people believe it." ”

Cao Shuo smiled slightly and did not say anything.

He knew very well that asking for the time to enter the city at this time would only make Lou Ban and Nanlou and others wary.

It's better not to ask.

Sure enough, Nanlou continued: "As long as Gongzi declares that the army will not attack the Wuhuan people, you can enter the city today." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Cao Shuo stood up and said to Lou Ban and the others: "Don't worry, my father has me to say, and I will convey the order later, and the soldiers are not allowed to violate the Wuhuan people in the slightest." ”

"With the words of Childe, we are relieved." Lou Ban answered.
