Chapter Eighty-Seven: Dead to the End
Xi Zhicai's talent is particularly outstanding, and Tao Ying once thought that if Xi Zhicai did not die, Zhuge Liang would have opponents in the future. Xi Zhicai heard that the second son actually called out his name at once, and he was amazed in his heart.
"Yes, right down!"
Xi Zhicai was embarrassed again, and Cao Cao next to him came back from his anger and looked at Tao Ying, Tao Ying's deep eyes had a profundity that he couldn't see.
Tao Ying sighed again and said: "Brother Zhicai is outstanding, he is a rare talent, it's a pity that heroes are easy to die early, Brother Zhicai doesn't worry about snacks and cares more about himself, after all, people live for so many years......"
Xi Zhicai was shocked when he heard Tao Ying's words, he was not in good health, he sighed faintly for himself in his words, did he know that he would die young?
"What do you mean by this?"
Tao Ying sighed and said: "If you want to know the future of Zhicai, he can come to Pengcheng to visit me one day, I will exchange Yangshou for the heavenly opportunity, and I will calculate a hexagram for you." ”
Cao Cao looked at him coldly, knowing that Tao Ying was deliberately playing tricks, he couldn't help but say: "Rumors confuse the public!" ”
Tao Ying didn't refute him, but responded with a slight smile: "I told you that Zhang Miao would rebel, and you didn't stop my words at that time, so that there was a dilemma today." If I hadn't had the heart to let you go today, your life would have been gone! ”
Cao Cao slapped the table and reprimanded: "I don't believe that there are people in the world who can predict the future, this time let you bump into it, if you talk about it again, I will obey you!" ”
Tao Ying also slapped the table and said, "Okay, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" Of course, I said that I am a gentleman, I will not break my word to you, only if I don't believe in my words, Cao Mengde will lose my trust with others! ”
"You!"
Cao Cao glared at Tao Ying again, this young descendant exuded a strong sense of superiority, as if he could only be toyed with by him between applause! Cao Cao didn't like his fate to be controlled by others, so he wanted to get rid of the person in front of him who could see through the future.
However, the drama Zhicai next to him smiled and said: "Since the son can foresee the future, he naturally knows that my lord will not die here today, you must also be afraid of my lord, my lord will definitely be able to help the Han family!" ”
Tao Ying smiled, people are smart in words and plays, and this is really the case when I see it today. Tao Ying picked up a glass of wine from the table and drank it down, he now knew that Cao Cao would not deal with him, and even if he did against himself, Zhao Yun would be able to stab him to death with one shot.
So Tao Ying pretended to be a ghost in the pavilion and re-calculated a hexagram for Cao Cao, Tao Ying circled the table three times on the left and right like a god, and there were words in his mouth. Suddenly, Tao Ying picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine, and a sip of wine sprayed all on Cao Cao's face, Cao Cao just wanted to get angry, Tao Ying hurriedly sat on the ground again and began to meditate.
Sitting on the ground for a while, Tao Ying was sweating, and when he slowly opened his eyes, Tao Ying looked a little tired. Cao Cao snorted, wiped the wine off his face and said, "Pretending to be a ghost, I think you have calculated something?" ”
"You will fight with Lu Bu in Puyang, and you will be defeated!"
After Tao Ying finished speaking, Cao Cao looked incredulous, and pointed at Tao Ying and said, "What if you can't count accurately?" ”
"If I can't calculate correctly, I will definitely return Shanyang County to you, and return your two sons!"
Next to him, Xi Zhicai asked again: "If the calculation is accurate, what does the son want?" ”
Cao Cao also stared at Tao Ying, as the saying goes, everything a person does has interests in it, Cao Cao wants to know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd!
Tao Ying thought about it, he only seemed to know history, and he really didn't know anything else, so he shook his head and said: "It's accurate, I don't ask for anything, anyway, you will come to me sooner or later to ask for help." ”
Cao Cao's heart was already a little shaken, he seemed to have become more and more aware that Tao Ying was far from what he could imagine, and Xuzhou, with him, he couldn't move forward half a step at all!
After Cao Cao pondered for a while, he raised his head and looked at Tao Ying and said, "I believe you for the time being, and I'll talk about it later." I want to lead the troops back to Yanzhou, and Xi Zhicai said that you don't want to fight with me, what do you want? If I can do it, I will definitely agree to you, if I can't do it, then we will see you on the battlefield! ”
Tao Ying nodded, after the two sat down, Tao Ying asked Zhao Yun to bring paper and ink, and after a while, the table was covered with a stack of paper, Tao Ying handed the brush to Cao Cao and said: "My request is very simple, first, send Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and Yu Ban's family to Pengcheng." Second, cut Shanyang County to Pengcheng to compensate you for the losses of your two attacks on my Xuzhou. Third, leave behind the treasure you have plundered. ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao kept thinking in his heart. Seeing that Cao Cao didn't answer for a long time, Tao Ying said: "I'll give you one more sentence, Yuan Shao will lead the troops south sooner or later." ”
Xi Zhicai asked again: "What do you mean by Childe's words?" ”
Tao Ying closed his mouth and stopped talking, Cao Cao thought for a long time and said, "Let me send my son to Pengcheng, you may guarantee my son's safety?" ”
Tao Ying thought for a while and said: "I promise to train Cao Pi to be an excellent heir, Cao Zhi, he will become a great writer who will be passed down through the ages!" ”
Cao Cao looked at Tao Ying with some disbelief, and Tao Ying pointed to the paper and said, "It can be written here!" ”
Cao Cao asked again: "The second article wants me to cede Shanyang County to you, and I have not taken your land, why should I cede the land to you?" ”
Cao Cao quibbled, and Tao Ying said with a cold face: "You attacked my Xuzhou twice, didn't you want to seize my land?" In my world, there is only victory and defeat, not cession. If you win, you will occupy my Xuzhou. If you fail, you will definitely pay a price. You can also not agree, we don't need to talk here, then see you on the battlefield! ”
Tao Ying stood up after speaking, raised his sleeves and turned around to leave, Cao Cao looked at Tao Ying all the way out of the pavilion, and did not stop him. When Tao Ying returned to the camp, Cao Cao also stood up, and Xi Zhicai next to him asked a little puzzled: "Lord, the battle ahead is tense, we can't afford to drag it out, otherwise Lu Bu will ...... in Yanzhou."
Cao Cao said very calmly: "He just asked us for a price because we were in a hurry to return to Yanzhou, and we had to fight with him and defeat him before we could negotiate the conditions!" ”
Xi Zhicai made a promise and followed Cao Cao back to Huben. As soon as Cao Cao left, Tao Ying suddenly found that he couldn't see Cao Cao clearly. On the way back, Tao Ying kept thinking, if he were himself, he would agree to this peaceful condition, why didn't Cao Cao agree, what was he thinking?
Back in the camp, Tao Ying didn't want to think so much, anyway, Cao Cao was looking for death by himself, so don't blame yourself for fighting him to the end, even if he folded the 50,000 army, Cao Cao would not be much better, and when the time came, he would recruit troops after he went back, and he would fight with him!
