Guo Tu and Cai Mao both felt that the situation seemed to be a little bad, because they were also human spirits, how could they not see that Cao Cao seemed to be pushing them in the story, and they didn't want to talk to them about business? At least, both of them saw that Cao Cao was not at all nervous about the New Han Dynasty's threat to send troops to crusade against the princes of the world, and it seemed that he did not take it seriously for a while.

Could it be that Cao Cao really has such a lot of confidence? Think he doesn't have to worry about the attack of the New Han Dynasty?

Well, even if you don't get down to business with them, then the letters from Liu Biao and Yuan Shao that they are carrying should always be seen first, right? However, Cao Cao always said that he was not in a hurry, saying that he was a guest from afar, and let them have a good time for a while before talking.

That, now that the eyebrows are burning, the New Han Dynasty Liu Yi may send troops to attack their powerful territory at any time, how can there be any mind to have fun and gather the old?

However, they deeply felt Cao Cao's prestige, and they didn't dare to easily go against Cao Cao's intentions, if Cao Cao didn't want to talk to them, could they still force Cao Cao to negotiate with them? They have come to negotiate a peace alliance, and they must succeed in this matter, or they will be doomed.

Therefore, they can only be patient.

As for Guo Tu, when he saw Zhang He and Gao Ran again, his expression was quite embarrassing.

The reason why Zhang He and Gao Ran betrayed Yuan Shao was actually the result of his bad behavior, it can be said that forcing these two generals away so that he could not be convicted by Yuan Shao was completely the result of his Guo Tu's provocation. Now, being regarded as a benefactor by Zhang He and Gao Ran, this feeling, Guo Tu is really not very good.

Anyway, Guo Tu drank three glasses with Zhang He and Gao Ran very unnaturally. Then, just like Cao Cao, he left the table drunk and went to the official post station with Cai Mao.

These two people. They weren't supposed to live together, after all, they all came from two different forces. At the very least, they should be given two separate residences. But I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional or unintentional by Cao Cao, so he directly arranged the two of them to the same post station.

The post station was divided into the east courtyard and the west courtyard, and the two of them and the guards who came with them accounted for half of them.

Cai Mao and Guo Tu. Although it cannot be said that they are familiar at first sight, they are the same messenger status at this moment. They all seem to have a sense of sympathy.

When they arrived at the post station, both of them were in good spirits all of a sudden, not a little drunk, and they actually said at the same time: "Mr. Guo (General Cai)." Not if. How do we talk? ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

The two couldn't help but laugh at the invitation they made in unison.

The post station also has a back garden, there is a small pavilion in the park, and the two of them let people send drinks to sober up.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and someone was ordered to turn on the lights in the pavilion, and the two talked in the small pavilion.

"General Cai, Guo didn't expect it. Liu Jingzhou will actually let you, a military general, send an envoy. When he saw you, Guo was really surprised. Guo Tu asked Cai Mao in confusion.

"Huh. Mr. Guo, although he has always had the habit of letting literati envoys, as a believer, what he values most is to be able to speak well, right? Cai is not talented, although he is not as rich as Mr. Xuefu, but Mr. Guo does not know the way, Cai used to be a businessman, usually deal with people more, and he may not be as good as others in the next situation, but when it comes to profit calculations and crooked reasoning, Cai is still proficient in one or two. ”

"Oh? Hehe, that's right, but any businessman, who is not good at calculations and can speak well? It was Guo who was abrupt. Guo Tu smiled.

"Alas, it's a pity, Cao Gong seems to know Cai's intentions, and he always deliberately doesn't talk about it, Cai is worried......" Cai Mao couldn't help it first, and said with a little worry about Guo Tu.

"Well, General Cai, why don't you let Guo guess?" Guo Tu took his goatee and said to Cai Mao.

"Guess what?" Cai Mao originally wanted to talk to Guo Tu openly and honestly, because he felt that this time the princes of the world formed an alliance, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must take the lead in order to succeed, as the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, since Yuan Shao can send people, then it can already be seen that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have the possibility of reconciliation and alliance. At the very least, Yuan Shao was able to send an envoy, which proves that Yuan Shao also saw that if he wanted to confront the New Han Dynasty, then he had to unite the princes of the world to prove that Yuan Shao should have the will to reconcile with Cao Cao.

Well, the logic is also very reasonable, after all, Yuan Shao is the defeated side, and it is reasonable to send someone to sue for peace.

Cai Mao was worried that there was no way to lead the topic, so Guo Tu said that he wanted to guess, and he happened to talk to Guo Tu about business.

Guo Tu said at this time: "Let's not talk darkly, Liu Jingsheng sent General Cai to see Cao Cao, it should be to talk to Cao Cao about forming an alliance against Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty, right?" ”

"Correct solution!" Cai Mao saw that Guo Tu really said it, and did not deny it, nodded and said, "I think, Mr. Guo's intention is similar, right?" After all, whether it is your lord or my lord, in terms of troops, not to mention not much, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, but if we fight with Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty alone, then we are afraid that we are far inferior to the New Han Dynasty in terms of military strength and horse combat effectiveness, so we can only fight with the New Han Dynasty by forming an alliance. ”

"That's right!" Guo Tu saw that Cai Mao's intention was really like this, and he knew that the two families already had a common issue. At least, seeing Cao Cao this time, no matter what the result is, the two of them already have the possibility of forming an alliance to resist the New Han Dynasty.

The only thing that makes both of them feel a little awkward is that the power of the two of them is separated by Cao Cao's power in the middle, if there is no alliance with Cao Cao, it is difficult for them to connect together, even if they can confront the New Han Dynasty in the south and the north, but they are always too far apart, and it is difficult to keep pace in terms of unified operations, and it is easy for Liu Yi to break them one by one.

"In today's situation, whether it is your lord or my lord, it is difficult to fight against the New Han Dynasty alone, so whether we can persuade Cao Cao to form an alliance with us is the key to solving this crisis." Guo Tu continued: "Therefore, it is best for us to communicate with each other and work together to make this alliance a success. ”

"That's right!" Cai Mao stretched out his palm to Guo Tu and said, "Cai also has this intention, no matter what." We must discuss the alliance with Cao Cao tomorrow, after all, time waits for no one, and we can conclude an alliance one day earlier. You can have peace of mind a day earlier. Make arrangements for the new Han Dynasty as soon as possible! ”

"Good! From now on, the two of us will work together to make the alliance happen! ”

With a snap, the palms of the two slapped in the air.

"Mr. Guo, I won't tell you, originally, Cai had another side task, but now I see you. I think the other task should be completed. Cai Mao said frankly to Guo Tu.

"Oh? Another task? ”

"Well, actually. My father-in-law is weak-natured, and he has to compete with the indecisive character of your father-in-law...... Hehe, don't mind us criticizing our lord behind our backs. Cai Mao's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a smile: "Call on the princes of the world to form an alliance to resist the New Han Dynasty." My father-in-law's appeal is insufficient. It is difficult to take on the big responsibility, and the lord of your family is enough in terms of prestige, but he has just lost to Cao Cao, and his prestige has been greatly reduced. Therefore, only Cao Cao, who is now in full swing, can call on the heroes of the world. After all. Cao Cao had a successful experience, if Cao Cao could be in the name of the imperial court. Initiate a call, you and I respond, and then the big thing is decided. However, my lord is afraid that your lord Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will have too deep a grudge, and I am worried that you and Cao Cao will not be willing to form an alliance, so Cai is also responsible for persuading Cao Cao to put aside the grievances with your lord for the time being and focus on major matters. However, now that Mr. Guo is here, it proves that your father-in-law has let go of the mediation in his heart and can take the initiative to let Mr. Guo and you come to see Cao Cao, which is enough to show your sincerity. To tell you the truth, my father-in-law also sent an Iraqi nationality to meet your father-in-law. ”

"Well, it turns out that you have already thought of this step, which is rare. Well, please rest assured General Cai, Guo came with sincerity this time, as long as he can form an alliance, even if he gives up some benefits to Cao Cao, my lord will agree. ”

"Good! In this way, then Cai will be relieved, then, we will go to see Cao Cao separately tomorrow, how about it? Cai Mao patted Guo Tu's hand and said, "I'm worried that our two families will go together, and Cao Cao will push off like this, so let's go to see Cao Cao separately to talk about the alliance, how about it?" ”

"Well......" Guo Tu thought about it, felt that there was no problem with this, so he nodded and said: "That's it, tomorrow morning, you go first." By the way, I will probe Cao Cao's tone and see if he can let go of his grievances with my lord. ”

"That's what I mean!" Cai Mao nodded.

The two discussed for a while, and they felt that there was no big problem, and only how to negotiate an alliance with Cao Cao was left, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, when Cai Mao was about to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Cao Cao.

A soaking wet guy ran into the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly.

This person is Hua Xin, and the clothes on his body are soaked with sweat.

"My lord! Lord! The New Han Army is dispatched! ”

Hua Xin didn't care about his image, gasped, and shouted and broke into Cao Cao's bedroom.

In this life, there is no story of Cao Cao's murder in his dream, or it has not happened, so anyone who can get Cao Cao's cronies can go straight to Cao Cao's bedroom and report the emergency to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao actually got up, just on a whim, holding a beautiful woman who was sleeping in his arms, satisfying the desire to turn his hands and feet, which just let the beautiful woman leave, and before he had time to freshen up, Hua Xin came back.

As soon as he saw Hua Xin shouting, Cao Cao said a little strangely: "Mr. Hua, you ...... You can't have just fallen into the water and been fished up, have you? If there's anything going on, let's go change into clean clothes and report back to you. ”

"Well, my lord, my subordinates rushed back from Luoyang overnight, and their bodies were covered in sweat and dew, so if you don't get in the way, report the situation to the lord first and then go to rest." Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"The New Han Army has been dispatched? Who are their first targets? Cao Cao also knew that the military was important, so he asked.

"The Xinhan army is divided into routes, but the main ones should be Youzhou and Jizhou. There is no sign of sending troops to our imperial court, and Liu Yi has personally led the army into Youzhou and Jizhou through Bingzhou. ”

"Hoo ......"

Hearing this, Cao Cao exhaled. If Liu Yi didn't send an army to attack his own court, then he would really steal a period of time to recuperate, which is a good thing, Hua Xin brought back good news to himself!

"Mr. Hua, you have worked hard, with this news, nothing else is too important, or, you go to rest first, and then report when you are rested?" Cao Cao said to Hua Xin with concern.

Hua Xin wiped his sweat and said: "Lord, his subordinates can still insist, this time he went to Luoyang, his subordinates did not see Liu Yi, and he was entrusted by the lord, when he arrived in Luoyang, Liu Yi had already crossed the Yellow River and went north." ”

"Oh? Did you convey to the New Han Dynasty that we wanted to form an alliance with them? ”

"Lord, when Hua Mou arrived in Luoyang, he inquired everywhere about Liu Yi's attack target, and then met Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and other important ministers of the New Han Dynasty, and told them our wishes. Then they sent fast horses to chase after Lewis and conveyed our intentions to Lew. So. Although his subordinates didn't see Liu Yi in person, they had his reply......" Hua Xin said this, but he muttered nothing.

"Have a reply from Lewy? Then it doesn't matter if you see him or not. How did he say it? ”

"Lord......" Hua Xin seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then took out an envelope from his arms that was almost soaked with his sweat with a look of annoyance.

"Liu Yi said in the letter that there can only be one court in the world, there is only one big Han, and if we want to form an alliance, we must call him a vassal to Liu Yi, and the lord must go to his new Han Dynasty as an official. It is up to him to reorganize our army. Hua Xin read the content of the letter, and said with a little indignant: "He also said that we only have such a chance, and if we miss it, he can't say what will happen in the future, I hope you will think twice." Hum! Lew, this is too much of a deception! He thought he had won over us? The lord, Hua Mou, suggested that he immediately launch a call to unite the princes of the world to destroy the New Han Dynasty and Liu Yi together, and see if he can still be so crazy! ”

"Hehe, I guessed it a long time ago!" Cao Cao listened to Hua Xin while reading the letter, and after reading the letter, he was not too annoyed, but said with a little joy: "Well, if I Cao Cao is in Liu Yi's position, Cao will not agree to form an alliance." Because, once the alliance is formed this time, it will be difficult for either of us to take the lead in attacking each other in the future. Because if we form an alliance in the name of the imperial court, we will both recognize the legitimacy of the other party. ”

"Oh......" Hua Xin replied as if he had been taught.

"Mr. Hua, you have worked hard, and the news you brought back is very important. At the very least, we are safe for the time being, and we don't have to get involved in this conflict, so that our court can get a respite. This time, I will give you a credit! If you are rewarded, you will be sent to Washington. ”

"Prime Minister Xie, then, that subordinate retires!"

After Hua Xin retreated, Cao Cao couldn't help but lie down in the bed and laugh for a while, there was no better news than the news that the New Han Army had not attacked him. (To be continued......)
