Among the Cao army, among the generals who were still trapped in the ambush array of the New Han Army, only Li Dian was the supreme general.

Moreover, Li Dian is also a fierce general in Cao Cao's army. Well, it refers to his fierce fighting, not his actual combat strength.

Therefore, Li Dian also has a certain prestige in Cao Cao's army.

When Li Dian loudly stopped Cao Bing's attack on the arrow array of the New Han Army, many generals of the Cao Army immediately understood Li Dian's purpose in doing so. They also saw that if their soldiers were allowed to rush indiscriminately, it would not be long before their soldiers would all die under the endless bows and arrows of the New Han army.

Therefore, many generals, they immediately stopped their subordinates from continuing to charge.

"General Li Dian, what now? The New Han Army began to shrink this ambush array, I'm afraid it won't be long before we will be completely squeezed together by the New Han Army, and when the time comes, we will be surrounded by their archers, our army formation is so dense, I'm afraid ......"

"General Li, it's better to hurry up and find a way now to see how we can break through. We all listen to you, and do what you say. ”

"General Li Dian......"

A group of military generals surrounded Li Dian and said with a somewhat confused expression.

Li Dian pressed his hand, glanced left and right, and then said in a deep voice: "Breakthrough? Now it seems that we have no escape, hehe, Liu Yi really deserves to be Liu Yi, he is really generous, he can let me wait for 100,000 troops to be trapped, like a lamb to the slaughter, so that we have no way to resist. I think they are really used to fighting big battles in the new Han army. Which time wasn't the earth-shattering ghosts and gods? In the past, we just watched the excitement from the sidelines, and I always felt that they could do it with the Han Army. We Cao Jun can still do it. I always feel that if it wasn't for the gentleman's covenant between the lord and Liu Yi in the past, whoever went first in Luoyang would be Luoyang, then the current Luoyang would be ours. Then, the war with the Huns, the war to destroy Dong Zhuo. It should be us who fight, and we who make miracles. But now it seems, Lewy's victory. It's no accident that I came, this time, I, Li Dian, was really convinced. ”

"Huh? General Lee, this time. It doesn't seem like the time for them to lose their prestige, right? We still have more than 100,000 horses. There is still a chance to fight with the New Han Army. Now, they are only by virtue of the fineness of their bows and arrows, and by the power of their bed crossbows. ”

"Haha, no, no. Good bow and arrows? Are our bows and arrows not good? Our bows and arrows can't shoot anyone? Can't we make a bed crossbow? And those thistles that can stop the charge of our army, don't we have them? But why didn't we think about attacking the enemy in such a formation? Why have we never tried to use a large number of thistles to trap the enemy? Seriously, if we could have fought like the New Han Army earlier. Why are we afraid of the New Han Army? ”

"Uh, General Li Dian. Don't talk about that, or think about it, what do we do now? We can't afford to sit still. ”

"Well, I've got a way to get us out of this way. Don't panic. Li Dian waved his hand suddenly.

"Huh? Got a way? Then give the order quickly, how to break through, I will listen to General Li Dian and you. ”

The generals were a little surprised.

"Someone! Send me a message, and say that I, Li Dian, want to see Liu Yi. ”

Li Dian shouted loudly.

"Huh? General Li, the way you think of is to meet Liu Yi? What does that mean? Could it be ......"

"Don't guess, that's right, now, we can only surrender to the New Han Army. However, there are some conditions to be negotiated with Leo. Li Dian interrupted the general's speculation.

"What? Surrender to the New Han Army? General Li Dian, no! We would rather die in battle than surrender to the New Han Army. ”

"Yes, General Li Dian, this must not be done. We are deeply favored by the prime minister, and we must not surrender to the New Han Army! ”

"Shut up! How to do it, Li has his own decision. You just need to obey orders, are you farting when you just listen to my Li Dian's words? ”

"But ......"

"No, but, in the current situation, can we still escape? Do you all want to see our 100,000 brothers killed here by the New Han Army? Li Dian said decisively: "You are all waiting here, wait for me to go and meet Liu Yi for a while." ”

Li Dian waved his hand, and led a war horse with his own soldiers. After the bed crossbows of the New Han army stopped attacking, they all came to this ambush array with a small number of war horses.

Li Dian, the word Mancheng. The wild people of Sanyo County.

Don't look at Li Dian, if he is brave in battle, he thinks that he is just one of those brave and unscrupulous mountain horsemen.

In fact, Li Dian can be deeply valued by Cao Cao, and it is not just this. Li Dian in history, he is a person who understands righteousness, fights for Cao Cao, and makes countless meritorious contributions, but never competes with others. He advocates learning and has an elegant temperament in his own right. Well, don't look at Li Dian as a dignified man, but he really has a temperament on his body, and what I usually don't know is that I think he is a bachelor and not a general. In Cao Junjun's army, if Li Dian was only brave, it would be impossible for him to gain Cao Cao's attention. He himself also had great respect for learned men, and was regarded as an elder by many soldiers in the army.

Of course, Li Dian's background is actually extraordinary. Although it is difficult to find out what Li Dian's real family background is, it can be inferred from some side accounts how extraordinary Li Dian's background is.

This, Li Dian has an uncle named Li Gan.

His uncle was originally a character, and during the Yellow Turban Riot, the Li family had thousands of diners, and at that time, Li Gan voted for Cao Cao. It can be seen that Li Dian's Li family is not ordinary, if it is an ordinary person's family, can there be thousands of diners? You must know that if it is placed in the Warring States Period, there are thousands of diners at home, and they are all celebrities who can be as famous as the four princes of the Warring States Period.

In other words, Cao Cao dug up, in the early stage, he should have received the strong help of Li Dian and the Li family. In addition, Li Dian himself is also talented, so Cao Cao will value Li Dian so much.

When Liu Yi received that Li Dian, the general of the Cao army, wanted to talk to him, he couldn't help but make up for Li Dian, the Cao general, in his mind. Discover this Li Dian. It's really not easy.

After thinking about it, Liu Yi urged the horse out of the battle and came to the battle to meet Li Dian.

Lewy did not bring a personal guard. Li Dian also did not bring it, and the two met in the formation of the two armies.

"Li Dian, the word Mancheng, Yanzhou Shanyang Jusavage. Well, I heard that your Li family is still a local wealthy family. I wonder if that's the case? Liu Yi smiled and took the lead in arching his hand to Li Dian.

"Oh?" Li Dian looked stunned, and bowed back in surprise: "The defeated Li Dian pays a visit to the Taifu." How did Taifu learn about Li? Could it be that someone was specially sent to investigate Li, or that Taifu had already investigated everything under Prime Minister Cao Cheng's account? ”

"Haha. My New Han Dynasty is the Han Dynasty, and you, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, are also known as the Han Dynasty. Spying on each other. Absolutely. Lewis laughed and said, "Hmm." I have heard that although General Li Dian is a general, he is actually an elegant person, and when I see it today, it is indeed so, which makes me want to make friends with General Li. ”

"Taifu Mo wants to torment Li, Li is just a husband, how elegant he is, but Li envy a famous person like Taifu with amazing talents. It's just that I haven't had a chance to meet Taifu. Hehe. Actually......" Li Dian said, his face bitter. said with a wry smile: "Actually, in the bottom of his heart, Li Dian just admires Taifu's literary talent, but he really doesn't want to see Taifu's martial arts, especially he doesn't want to fight Taifu on the battlefield." This made Li Dian feel deeply frustrated. ”

Li Dian brought the words to the war in front of him.

Liu Yi smiled on his face, waved his hand and said, "Okay, General Li Dian, there are some things that you and I can't decide, and now, everyone is just their own master." Say, you see it now, what is there to build yì? ”

"Taifu, Li Dian wants to lead this Cao army of 100,000 and surrender to Taifu. But ......"

"Oh? Tell me, what are your conditions? Liu Yi interrupted Li Dian's words and asked.

It is natural for the defeated side to surrender. Every war, except for some particularly tragic wars, some wars under special circumstances. It is estimated that there will not be too many soldiers who are actually killed on the battlefield, and in comparison, there will be more soldiers who surrender and flee.

Liu Yi would not take it seriously and kill so many Cao soldiers, unless there was really no way, if he could recruit them, then he would naturally surrender.

What's more, these soldiers of Cao Cao have good combat effectiveness, and if they can be recruited, it will be equivalent to 100,000 more elite soldiers in the New Han Army.

Of course, even if these Cao soldiers were recruited, Liu Yi would not dare to believe them, because Liu Yi would not doubt the loyalty of these Cao soldiers to Cao Cao, especially those Cao generals, like Li Dian, who said that he wanted to surrender himself, Liu Yi would not believe it. If Li Pawn really said that he wanted to surrender himself, then he must be a fraudulent surrender.

In this case, Liu Yi has to consider whether to accept it, or how to deal with these Cao Cao's generals and the soldiers below.

However, Li Dian seemed to think about it for a while at this time, and said to Liu Yi with a little unspeakable: "Taifu, Li's first condition is that I, Li Dian, will not surrender to the New Han Dynasty and will not submit to you, Taifu." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yi looked at Li Dian a little unexpectedly, this, Liu Yi really hasn't met to talk to himself about surrender and conditions, but he personally has to make it clear that he will not submit to his own affairs.

"Second condition......" Li Dian glanced at Liu Yi, and saw that Liu Yi was just startled, and did not ask a question, so he continued: "Among the Cao army, there is a small number of people who are particularly loyal to Prime Minister Cao, and they would rather die than surrender...... Let them go ......"

"Is there a third?"

“…… There is a ......" Li Dian hesitated for a moment and said: "Third, Li wants to ask Taifu to treat these Cao soldiers well, they are all elite soldiers, at least, Li hopes that Taifu Mo will treat them as coolie slaves." Well, that's all there is to it. ”

"Well...... Liu Yi didn't agree immediately, but looked sideways at Li Dian and asked: "General Li Dian, in fact, the first condition and the second condition of the three conditions you mentioned can be discussed together." Because, among the soldiers of the Cao army, they are unwilling to submit to me Liu Yi, including you Li Dian. Why don't you add one more condition, for example, what do you want personally? ”

"Personally? ......" Li Dian turned his head, looked at the place behind him where the screams of killing still came from, and then said with a little painful expression: "Taifu." Li Dian has no intention of thinking about personal issues at all. This time, it was us who were too careless. No, it's twice in a row, both in the same area, and it's because we made a mistake and so many of our brothers die here. Li understands the hearts of our Cao soldiers very well, they would rather die than surrender. However, Li did not want to see them make senseless sacrifices again. Under the attack of your New Han Army's bow and arrow array, no matter how many men and horses we have, I am afraid we will not be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered. Right now. Li just wanted them to live. ”

"I ask you what you want?" Liu Yi heard Li Dian say this, frowned and asked.

Standing in Liu Yi's position, he was the opposite of Cao Cao, and he did not kill Cao Cao's military horses. will be slaughtered by Cao Cao in turn. Therefore, in this regard, Leo Yi has nothing to say. Even if Liu Yi is unwilling to kill too many people in his heart, sometimes it is really impossible not to kill.

"I ...... I ......" Li Dian said: "It was me Li who surrendered with these Cao troops, which means that I, Li, also betrayed Prime Minister Cao, and I am ashamed of the Prime Minister, and I have no shame to see the Prime Minister again." Therefore. After Taifu agreed to Li and surrendered these Cao troops. Li has only one death to thank the world. Therefore, the first and first conditions have to be said separately. ”

Liu Yi looked at Li Dian with a little surprise, as if he didn't expect Li Dian to actually have a mortal heart.

Liu Yi thought for a while and said to him: "General Li Dian, this is a bit difficult for you. Needless to say, Liu also knows that this Cao army is Cao Cao's elite division. Otherwise, I, Liu Yi, would not have spent so much effort to ambush your Cao army here in a row, how many of your Cao army soldiers in this Cao army are unwilling to surrender? What if most of them don't want to fall? Those who don't want to surrender, will I let them go and come back to attack me again in the next day? Where in the world can there be such a good thing? Although I, Liu Yi, am generous, I am not generous to this extent. ”

"That, that's what Taifu means......" Li Dian also knew that his conditions were a bit difficult, he originally had the mentality of giving it a try, and he didn't think that Liu Yi would really follow his wishes. After all, now that both sides are enemies, it is impossible to get him to do so just by saying a few flattering words.

"What do I mean? First, you are now to surrender unconditionally; Second, as you wish, I will not treat the surrendered Cao army badly, at least, I will not treat them as coolie slaves. Third, I can promise to let some of you go, but there is a limit, at most, I can only release 500 of you. Among them, including you Li Dian. Well, I, Liu Yi, am also a person who loves talents, and you Li Dian have something worthy of my Liu Yi's attention. So, I can promise to let you Li Dian leave. However, there is one more condition that I have to attach. When you go back and see Cao Cao, tell him that Jingzhou, he can't interfere anymore, and he can't increase his troops in Xiangcheng. Of course, this is limited to Xiangcheng, limited to Jingzhou, others, such as Jizhou, if he Cao Cao wants to wave his army north and fight with my new Han army in Jizhou, then whatever. Our new Han army will be waiting for him in Jizhou. Liu Yi looked at Li Dian with a calm face, and said undoubtedly.

"But, but Prime Minister Cao Cheng is not something that I, Li Dian can control......"

Liu Yiyi waved his hand and said, "I'm just letting you tell you, not letting General Li Dian decide on your behalf of Cao Cao." If Cao Cao insists on meddling in the affairs of Jingzhou, wants to increase troops in Xiangcheng, wants to fish in the waters, and wants to attack my idea of the New Han Dynasty, then it is also Cao Cao's business, and when the time comes, don't blame me Liu Yi for waving his army to attack your Yanzhou and Xuchang. ”

At this time, Li Dian knew that he had no choice, he could not care about his own life and hold the mentality of death, but he cared about the lives of his soldiers. The so-called good death is better than living.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay!" Then I will go back and lead the army to surrender. Please also ask Taifu to follow what Fang just said. ”

"Haha, how can I, Liu Yi, be the kind of person who doesn't believe in his word?" Seeing that Li Diantong agreed to his conditions, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, you go back, let Cao Bing lay down his arms and surrender, and then, I will pick out five hundred people with you to leave." ”

"It's a deal!" Li Dian knew that it was useless to talk too much now, and the most important thing was to save the lives of most of his Cao Jun's brothers.

Arching his hand, Li Dian turned back and returned to the formation.

Back in the Cao army, Li Dian truthfully told the generals of the Cao army the terms he had reached with Liu Yi.

All of a sudden, it really blew up the nest.

At that moment, there were many generals of the Cao army, who were unwilling to surrender, and wanted to fight the New Han army to the end.

However, Li Dian tried his best to persuade those noisy soldiers to calm down.

Indeed, among them, many of the Cao army soldiers would rather die than surrender. However, it does not represent all the soldiers of the Cao army.

Among them, many soldiers, with wives and children, fathers and elders, if they die on the battlefield, what will happen to the wives and children in the family?

This is not a few, but almost 100,000 Cao Jun. If they really would rather die than surrender and fight the New Han Army to the end, then they will only die here.

Those generals of the Cao army, they also had to think about the consequences of these soldiers all dying.

Only by being alive can there be hope.

In particular, Li Dian also mentioned that their surrender now is only temporary, and the New Han Army will not torture them, at most they will imprison them. If one day, Prime Minister Cao Cheng led the army to defeat Liu Yi, at that time, he would definitely be able to rescue them all, and when the time came, they would follow Prime Minister Cao Cheng together.

Many Cao Cao generals thought about it and felt that what Li Dian said was also reasonable. With their current situation, if they really want to fight with the New Han Army, it is really equivalent to sending them to death, and there is no chance of defeating the New Han Army.

In this way, Cao Jun reached an agreement, and he was extremely reluctant to put down his weapons and surrender to the New Han Army with Li Dian. (To be continued......)
