Seeing that Tao Ying was always away from the topic, Cao Cao reminded him beside him: "Second son, why are we here today?" ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Tao Ying remembered that he seemed to have talked too much about himself just now. What did he come here for, do you need to say? I'm definitely here to negotiate!

But at the same time as the negotiation, he wanted to test Cao Chun. So he brought Cao Chun with him, let them meet him, and try to see if Cao Chun could be loyal to himself for the sake of loyalty.

Now he feels that Cao Chun has no problem, so he chats away as soon as he is happy.

This ancient man is really good, his heart is real, if he had put himself aside, it is estimated that he would have collected the head with a knife in the back, and went to the old master to ask for merit and reward, but seeing that the new lord attaches so much importance to his own sake, Tao Ying feels that when he rubs like this, he really can't do it.

"I'm naturally here for peace talks."

Tao Ying said, Cao Cao said next to him: "The second son is a man of his word, this time, I am willing to give Shanyang County to the second son, and Fengqiu and Junyi are also given to the second son, what does the second son think?" ”

Tao Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I am satisfied with these lands, but last time, Duke Cao owed me tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he has not returned it yet." And this time I sent troops and grain again, because Cao Gong broke the contract, he caused me to lose so much grain and grass. How much does Cao Gong think he will have to pay this time? ”

As soon as he heard that Tao Ying was urging for war reparations, this Cao Cao really had a headache. Because he has been in the war for many years, where is the extra silver to compensate Tao Ying? However, as soon as he heard that Tao Ying didn't want Lu Guo, Cao Cao also said stubbornly: "Yanzhou has been suffering from a shortage of soldiers for many years, plus natural disasters in the past two years, I can't make up so much money to return it." ”

Tao Ying also guessed this result.

Anyway, if you don't have the money to pay it back, then take something to pay off the debt! Thinking of this, Tao Ying said: "This indemnity will be one million taels more silver than last time!" Add up, Cao Gong needs to pay me back two million and a half million taels of silver! ”

Tao Ying's lion opened his mouth, which not only startled Cao Cao, but also frightened Zhao Yun beside him. With so much silver, Cao Cao doesn't have to do anything in his life, just waiting to pay back the money every day!

"This, second son, I really can't take out so much money in Yanzhou!"

Cao Cao refused, and Tao Ying asked rhetorically: "Then how much silver can you Yanzhou repay?" ”

"I can only repay 500,000 taels of silver in three years!"

From 2.5 million taels of silver to 500,000 taels of silver, this gap is somewhat large. Tao Ying nodded, now if you can get some money from Cao Cao, you can get some money, this guy will turn his face sooner or later and deny people, Tao Ying doesn't know.

So Tao Ying also said: "In this case, 200,000 taels of silver must be returned this year to Fengqiu and Junyi." The other two million taels of silver will be mortgaged with the mineral deposits in Yanzhou! ”

Speaking of mineral deposits, this Cao Cao doesn't matter. Anyway, those things are rarely used by people in their cold weapon era. After agreeing to this condition, Cao Cao urged Tao Ying to quickly make a new covenant, and then not to invade each other in the future.

But Tao Ying smiled and said, "Gong Cao, these are the contents of the last covenant. The two of us are clear, but Wen Hou will always share some benefits when he leads the troops. ”

Speaking of Lu Bu, Cao Cao asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by what the second son said?" Lu Bu took refuge in you, naturally he is your general, what benefits does he want to share? ”

Cao Cao asked a little provocatively, but Tao Ying didn't care about him, but just said: "I promised Marquis Wen that when he conquered Shanyang County, he would hand over the Lu State to him to govern." I think it's time for me to redeem my promise today! ”

Tao Ying replied, Cao Cao's gaze was a little sharp, Tao Ying didn't dare to meet his gaze, just lowered his head, and then tasted the wine on the table.

"Second son, if you don't withdraw at this time, I'm afraid Pengcheng will be in danger."

Cao Cao saw that Tao Ying was so stubborn, so he kindly reminded him.

Tao Ying's guess was right, and sure enough, Yuan Shu attacked him, it was his idea. However, it is nearly thousands of miles away from Huainan, and the transportation is not developed, how does he know where Yuan Shu has attacked?

Therefore, Tao Ying decided to drag him once, so Tao Ying stretched out his hand and said, "Third brother, I will get the general's letter!" ”

Zhao Yun took a package from behind him, and a letter was placed in the package. Tao Ying opened the letter and handed it to Cao Cao and said, "Yu Ban's notes, presumably Cao Gong has seen them. ”

Cao Cao held the letter, which was written by Yu Ban to Tao Ying. As a left-behind general, he reports on military affairs every day. Cao Cao opened the letter, which briefly described the battle situation in Xuzhou. Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling led 50,000 troops to come, and the soldiers and horses rushed to Fuli County, and Fuli County Commander led the county's soldiers to fight bloodily, and the county commander died in battle, but killed nearly 3,000 enemies.

After several battles along the way, when Ji Ling led his troops to the south gate of Pengcheng Kingdom, the army of 50,000 was less than 40,000. The morale of Ji Ling's army was low, and outside the mound, Yu Ban led Pengcheng's elite city guard, the Golden Wing Army, to fight a big battle with Ji Ling's vanguard.

The Golden Winged Army fought bravely and defeated Ji Ling's vanguard, and Ji Ling had already retreated to Fuli.

Cao Cao looked at the letter with some doubts in his heart. Why did Tao Ying already count Pengcheng who instigated Yuan Shu to attack? Moreover, he actually remembered to bring this letter to himself, could he really calculate all this?

Cao Cao didn't believe it, so he looked at the letter repeatedly, but it was clearly Yu Wenze's note!

Seeing that Cao Cao was hesitating there, Tao Ying urged instead: "Cao Gong, don't think about it anymore." Ji Ling's army is still vulnerable in front of my Pengcheng Golden Wing Army. Yuan Shuxiao'er, unless he transfers Sun Jian to attack my Pengcheng, I may be afraid, but Sun Jian is dead, why should I be afraid? ”

Cao Cao sighed, indeed, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles. It seems that Tao Ying knows the enemy next to him very well, and he even knows that Yuan Shu has a fierce general Sun Jian, and even knows that he is dead. Where is this supposed to be understood by a man his age?

Looking at Cao Cao putting down the letter, Zhao Yun put it away. Cao Cao just wanted to admit defeat, but suddenly a sharp sound sounded, and Cao Chun hurriedly rushed over and pressed Tao Ying under him.

I don't know what happened here, seeing that Cao Chun suddenly pressed on Tao Ying's body, Zhao Yun hurriedly stabbed at Cao Chun with a gun, as if by inertia.

Cao Chun shouted, and Zhao Yun had already stabbed him in the back with a shot.

Pulled out and grabbed it, blood spilled out, and soon wet the armor on Cao Chun's back. Zhao Yun wanted to stab again, but at this time, seeing that someone was actually attacking his younger brother, it seemed that out of instinct, Cao Ren drew his sword and stabbed at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun hurriedly returned the gun to block the long sword that Cao Ren stabbed.

I don't know what happened, suddenly there was chaos in front of him, Xiahoudun hurriedly blocked in front of Cao Cao, and then covered Cao Cao and wanted to go out the door.

Through the gap, Cao Cao found that Cao Chun had been hit by an arrow, and the arrow hit his shoulder blade, Cao Chun crawled on Tao Ying in pain, his face was covered with sweat like beans, and the sweat was a little out of place at the beginning of this somewhat cold winter.
