"If Prime Minister Cao Cheng is hungry, we can talk and eat at the same time, if he is not hungry, he can talk about business first." Fox Du said.

Cao Cao is very thick-skinned, but it is still not very comfortable to be bluntly said by the fox to be hungry, after all, he has been the lord for so many years, and it is still uncomfortable to be said by a young man.

"Bold, I don't know how to talk to the prime minister?" Xiahou Yuan reprimanded.

"Miaocai, step aside!" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan and pretended to be angry.

Xiahou Yuan retreated. Cao Cao took Fox Du's hand and said with a smile: "A martial artist is not sensible, little brother is not strange, dare to ask the little brother your surname?" ”

Seeing that Cao Cao acted so well, and his cheekiness was very similar to the teacher, Hu Du couldn't help but sigh and said, "Prime Minister Cao, I already reported my name when I came down." ”

"Oh!" Cao Cao looked like he remembered, then patted his head and said, "That's right, the little brother's surname is Fox, yes, yes!" Sit down and let's get down to business! ”

Fox Du just sat down.

Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked: "Hu Du, I heard that you are a student of General Ma, I wonder what kind of business General Ma wants to talk about with Gu this time?" ”

"Let's talk about the life and death of Prime Minister Cao." Fox Du said slowly.

Cao Cao saw that Hu Du said these words slowly, his face still did not change, but Guo Jia's face on the side became a little embarrassed, and Hu Du began to threaten Cao **** before the negotiation.

"Does General Ma want Lone to live, or does he want Lone to die?" Cao Cao asked.

Hu Du smiled slightly: "That depends on Prime Minister Cao's sincerity." ”

Xun You said secretly on the side: This kid, dare to talk to the prime minister like this, Ma Hong's students are really amazing.

"I'm very sincere, General Ma should know that I was deceived by Liu Bei."

"The teacher knows, Prime Minister Cao Cheng fell for the tricks of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, compared to Prime Minister Cao, you have always been the teacher's opponent, you do this, the teacher is understandable. But Liu Bei is the teacher's ally, and this ally can understand you by sticking a knife, but he can't forgive, so the teacher is willing to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao Cheng to help Prime Minister Cao Cheng get out of trouble. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Hu Du, what you said is too right, the allies are the most hated for you, Liu Bei not only stabbed General Ma, but also stabbed Lonely, we are all stabbed people, and we should unite and hate the same enemy." ”

"So since Prime Minister Cao Cheng has understood, let's talk about the next business!" Fox Du said.

"Good! Please! ”

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng led a large army to come, if he didn't get anything, he retreated, and it is not regrettable, the teacher is willing to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao Cheng to supply Prime Minister Cao Cheng with grain and grass, and is also willing to send troops to attack Liu Bei with Prime Minister Cao Cheng to recapture Nanyang County for Prime Minister Cao."

"What does General Ma want?" Cao Cao asked.

"Please Prime Minister Cao Cheng first return the southern county south of Yicheng." Hu Du said slowly, looking directly into Cao Cao's eyes as he spoke.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "How much grain and grass will General Ma supply me?" ”

"Supply 5,000 stone first, if we wait for the prime minister to give up Nanjun, we will supply another 10,000 stone, as long as Liu Bei and the prime minister are at war, our grain and grass will continue to be supplied." Fox Du said.

"So how will General Ma send troops to help Gu?" Cao Cao said.

"As long as Prime Minister Cao Cheng holds on for another twenty days, then 5,000 iron cavalry will go from Fangling to Deng County to assist Prime Minister Cao Cheng in leveling Deng County."

"Five thousand iron horsemen?"

"Could it be that Prime Minister Cao doesn't believe it?"

"Lonely letter!"

"So does Prime Minister Cao think this deal can be done?"

"Good! When will the grain and grass arrive! ”

"From the date of Prime Minister Cao's promise, it will arrive within ten days, and after ten days, the three thousand stones of grain and grass should have been exhausted!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay!" Lone to make this deal. ”

"By the way, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, there is one more thing I forgot to say, in order to express the sincerity of the teacher's cooperation with Prime Minister Cao, Zhong Xuan of Chang'an has been released."

"Wait for me to thank General Ma." Cao Cao laughed.

After Cao Cao sent Hu Du away, Guo Jia slowly spoke: "Lord, aren't you afraid that after we abide by the agreement, then Ma Hong will take Nanjun and tear up the agreement to start a war with us?" ”

"Liu Bei stabbed Ma Hong, and then stabbed Lonely, now do you want to believe Liu Bei alone, or believe Ma Hong?" Cao Cao asked.

"If the prime minister gave up Nanjun to Liu Bei, Liu Bei promised to let him go, but suddenly launched an attack on the prime minister on the road, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Now Ma Hong is anxious to return to Nanjun, and he hates Liu Bei's betrayal to the core, and cooperates with Ma Hong, if he succeeds, he can get Nanyang County back, so that he will not return empty-handed and waste money and food. As the battle continued, the losses were very large. Cao Cao sighed.

If you take something away from someone else, you can buy it back with your own money, just like your woman was taken away by someone else for a few days, and you want to get it back now, and you have to give that person a sum of money as a dowry, such a thing, ordinary people are unwilling to do it, and even if they do, they will endure their anger. But Ma Hong did it, and gave Cao Cao a lot of money and food, yes, now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are going to rob women, so this woman's man gives those two people a little benefit, let those two people fight first, and when their strength is enough, those two people can no longer attack Ma Hong, which is not better. [You don't have a map in your hands, maybe you don't know the situation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army now, I will briefly introduce the specific situation, that is, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong and others besieged Zhao Yun in Nanyang, and the army line came into contact with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu in Huyang and Chaoyang, and Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang formed a line of defense to block Zhang Liao and Cao Hong's troops, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu formed a second line of defense to block Cao Cao, which means that Cao Cao was hindered by two lines of defense and could not hand over with Zhang Liao and Cao Hong's troops. 】

Nan Zheng Cheng!

Liu Ye said to Ma Hong: "Senior brother, if the money and grain are exchanged for Nanjun, it means that there will be a war with Liu Bei." ”

Ma Hong smiled, showed his white teeth and said, "Who knows? It depends! ”

Liu Ye looked at Ma Hong and roughly understood what Ma Hong meant, if Cao Cao was in a weak position, Ma Hong might also take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao and kill Cao Cao.

The twelfth year of Jian'an, March. Ma Hong ordered Huang Zhong and Li Yan to lead 8,000 troops into Nanjun, and Yang Yi's entourage was stationed in Jiangling. Since then, the land of Nanjun south of Yicheng has been recovered by Ma Hong, and Cao Cao still occupies Yicheng and Xiangyang in Nanjun.

In late March, Pang De led 5,000 cavalry to Hanzhong, and Ma Hongqin led the cavalry with Pang De, Hu Du, and Liu Ye to Fangling County to garrison Fangling.

Chaoyang City.

Zhuge Liang stood on the city tower with a feather fan, the drizzle wet his clothes, and Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang stood side by side.

"Senior Brother Xu, next Senior Brother Ma is going to intervene, according to the spies, he has thousands of cavalry." Zhuge Liang said.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "When Ma Hong makes a move, it must be the time when we have the fiercest battle with Cao Cao. ”

"Then it depends on how much Cao Cao trusts him, and whether Cao Cao chooses to fight us quickly or hold on."
