After returning to the camp, Zang Ba and the others hurriedly asked Tao Ying what he had told Cao Cao, Tao Ying just asked Zang Ba to prepare to take over the five thousand Cao soldiers tomorrow, and then prepare the five thousand deniers of grain and grass, so there was no need to ask more about other things, and the soldiers could also prepare to rest.

This night, all the soldiers tossed and turned in confusion and couldn't sleep, Tao Ying too, whether Cao Cao would join forces with him, he himself was not sure. Anyway, Cao Cao has already signed a contract, presumably he will not regret it in these two years, as long as it takes two years, he will regret it again, and he will not be afraid of him at that time!

Tao Ying can only comfort himself like this, sleepless all night, gradually dawn, the spring breeze blows warm in the tent, spring is a season full of hope, so Tao Ying got up early, moved his muscles and bones and went straight to Cao Cao's camp.

Zang Ba prepared grain and grass next to Yishui, and the grain and grass were all packed in the big boat, and Cao Cao did not run away at night, after a morning of tossing, finally at noon, Cao Cao came to the place where the two people signed the covenant again.

Seeing each other overnight, the two greeted each other like old friends.

"Gong Cao, did you sleep well last night?"

"Good!"

"That's good, there are a lot of things in Yanzhou, Cao Gong should go back as soon as possible! I have put the grain and grass next to Yishui, and Cao Gong only needs to take the grain and grass to go back to Yanzhou! ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, Cao Cao also smiled and said: "I'm leaving, I have already stayed in the camp, he will definitely keep his promise to send Pi'er when he arrives in Yanzhou." ”

Tao Ying only smiled and said, "How can I not believe Cao Gong's words? What's more, at that time, Cao Gong was embattled, and I could still lead the troops to help! ”

Hearing Tao Ying's threat, Cao Cao's face only changed slightly, and since he smiled again: "If you don't come here, I will definitely keep my promise!" ”

Tao Ying also took the lead immediately, and Cao Cao led his troops to pass by Yishui, and then began to go north after taking grain and grass. Because he didn't believe Cao Cao, Tao Ying even personally led the troops to send him all the way.

Cao Cao politely refused, but Tao Ying insisted on sending him to the border, and Cao Cao also knew that Tao Ying must be spying on him, so he could only let him follow.

After Tao Ying left, he left Xu Sheng to lead the troops to collect the prisoners of war, saying that the prisoners of war were just the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in Cao Cao's army. Tao Ying knew that he was not Cao Cao's opponent, this was not the time to pretend to be forced, and he would die if he pretended to be forced, so at this critical moment, Tao Ying instead gave Cao Cao a favor.

That is to sign the Yishui Alliance!

The Yishui Alliance is based on Cao's weak Tao Qiang, and the first article of the Yishui Alliance is to stipulate that Tao and Cao Cao should not attack each other in the future, Cao Cao will not pursue the death of his father Cao Song, and Tao should not investigate Cao Cao's difficulty in slaughtering the city. Tao Ying promised to arrest the murderer and send him back to Yanzhou.

The second provision is that the two families will form an alliance in the future, and when Zhang Miao rebels, Tao Ying will not lead troops to help Zhang Miao, nor will he lead troops to attack Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao wanted to send a son to Xuzhou as a hostage, so as to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou after assessing Zhang Miao's rebellion. Regarding the son, Tao Ying wanted to blackmail his eldest son, but the eldest son of Gulai wanted to inherit the title, so Cao Cao did not agree, so he could only ask Cao Pi.

Anyway, Cao Ang is definitely going to die, there are still two years before Cao Chong is about to be born, Cao Chong is known as the first prodigy in the late Han Dynasty, and the youth has a different wisdom, and when the time comes, when he is young, he will exchange Cao Pi for Cao Chong as a hostage.

The third article stipulates that Yanzhou and Xuzhou must reach a trade agreement, and no one is allowed to do business between the two sides in the middle section.

The fourth and final rule is that Cao Cao is not allowed to go north to plunder grain and grass. Because it was recorded in history that Cao Cao would go to the north to plunder grain and grass after running out of grain and grass, this article stipulated that Cao Cao was not allowed to go north to plunder grain and grass, but immediately returned to Yanzhou.

As an ally, Tao Ying gave him 5,000 deniers of grain and grass as a fund, but in order to be able to return to the mission, Cao Cao needed to leave 5,000 men and horses as prisoners. In this way, Tao Ying will not be attacked by others, and when it comes to military horses, Cao Cao doesn't care at all, because he has captured 300,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and he is the least short of soldiers and horses.

What's more, there are a lot of wounded in his army, these people are inconvenient to walk, and waste food, Cao Cao was going to kill them to solve their delays, but now it is just a good favor.

After signing the agreement, Cao Cao asked with some curiosity: "Can you really predict the future?" ”

Tao Ying nodded and said: "You can assess Lu Bu's rebellion in two years, but two years later, Yuan Shaohui will lead his troops south, and at that time you will be in the land of four wars, and if Yuan Shao's soldiers are strong and strong, Cao Gong will definitely be defeated!" ”

Cao Cao was a little unconvinced, and Tao Ying said again: "Believe it or not, Yuan Shao's army will fight a decisive battle with you in the Guandu generation, and if you want to win, I can lead the troops to help you!" ”

Maybe because Tao Ying was too young, or maybe Cao Cao didn't look at the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou from the bottom of his heart, so Cao Cao denied Tao Ying's prediction without thinking about it.

The treaty was signed and began to be fulfilled, and Xu Sheng escorted 5,000 people back to Wuyuan. Zang Ba led his troops to monitor Cao Cao's departure from Xuzhou, which had been sent out of several counties, and it was not until early April that Cao Cao led his troops out of Xuzhou.

On the boundary line, when the last soldier left, Cao Cao and Tao Ying looked at each other across the boundary monument, Tao Ying pointed to the boundary monument and said: "I hope that Cao Gong will keep his promise and never cross this boundary again!" ”

Cao Cao also pointed to the boundary monument and said: "Respect the words of the prince, if the prince guards Xuzhou, I will not come!" ”

Tao Ying also asked Cao Cao to send Cao Pi to Pengcheng to show his sincerity, and Tao Ying had enough food and grass, so he simply led his troops to be stationed on the border line.

April arrived as scheduled, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses retreated to Yanzhou, and the land of Yanzhou was indeed as Tao Ying predicted, and the people's hearts were a little unstable, and many people wanted to welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou.

Lü Bu was brave and good at fighting, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were resourceful, so a great chaos seemed to be about to begin to sweep Cao Cao's base. If there is a rebellion in Lu Bu, Cao Cao didn't want to send his son to Pengcheng hostage, so he had to send himself here, Tao Ying fantasized like this, but he didn't see Cao Cao's letter for many days, and Tao Ying couldn't sit still.

Stationed at the border for a long time, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, consuming a lot of grain and grass every day, so that Tao Ying could not turn around, but Xiapi City had no news, and refused to supply grain and grass, but just asked him to quickly lead the troops back to Xiapi to resume his life.

After waiting at the border for a few more days, Tao Ying received a document from Cao Cao, and Tao Ying led his troops back to Pengcheng. From the border of Yanzhou to Pengcheng, Tao applied it for half a month, and when he arrived in Pengcheng, it was already the end of April and the beginning of May.

After more than half a year of construction, the woods outside Pengcheng were cut down one after another, crops were planted in many places, and many Yanzhou refugees began to flock to Pengcheng for a generation.

Not only the refugees from Yanzhou, but even the refugees from the south are also endless, Tao Ying's army just walked to Wuyuan, and saw that there were crowds of people everywhere, and he was very puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it, because there were still many things to greet him.

First of all, we must hurry to Pengcheng and hand over the prisoners of war, and then in the new year, we must start to realize our dream of building a large Pengcheng, and of course, there is a more important thing to go to Xiapi to receive merit.
