Cao Cao was indeed a little surprised by Liu Yi's letter, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved and didn't feel anything.

After all, even during the war, it was normal for the two families to send envoys to each other to talk. Fighting a war is not only an army fighting on the battlefield, but also a war in other ways.

It's like creating some rumors or something to shake the morale of his army, sending a letter to influence their decision, or something, these are all normal methods of warfare.

Cao Cao held the mentality of let's see what Liu Yi said, and picked up Liu Yi's letter.

"Brother Mengde, how are you doing?

Think about it, the last time we met? I really miss Brother Tai a little, and I really want to see Brother Meng De's heroic appearance again......"

Cao Cao read the first few sentences of the letter, and suddenly made him feel speechless.

Are we familiar with you? If you have something to say, what letter to send if you have nothing to do? It seems that he has some deep friendship with him, or the taste of a priest for a long time. It's really ****, if you are really so familiar with yourself and cherish yourself, then don't bully people too much, don't send troops to beat yourself?

Cao Cao had the urge to crumple the letter and throw it into the fire.

However, Cao Cao couldn't help but watch.

"Brother Mengde...... Remember how we met? I remember it was in the Yi Red Mansion, right? Really, I really miss the old days, everyone walked around the Qinglou together, looked for flowers and willows together, and had fun, how freehand those days were, did you say? The flowers are red and willow green, drunk and lying on the flowers, hugging left and right. Talking about literature and poetry, wind and snow. Singing a new word and singing ......"

"I'll look at you!" Cao Cao slapped the letter on the case, blew his beard and glared.

If it is said. If Liu Yi wrote a letter to Cao Cao to affect his mood, it seems that he has really done it now. Cao Cao is angry when he looks at it now, obviously everyone is now fighting to the death, to the point of not dying, Liu Yi still talks to him in such a familiar tone, isn't this obviously angry with him? Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy!

Think about it? Thinking about it, Cao Cao remembered that when he and Liu Yi first met in Yihong Mansion. In fact, he really didn't have too much hostility towards Liu Yi, on the contrary, he quite admired the song "Linjiang Immortal" made by Liu Yi. At that time, Cao Cao was still bent on overthrowing the traitors in the court, and Cao Cao was also a little happy when he heard Liu Yi's blackmail of the traitors in the court. He really wanted to resolve the little conflict with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu for Liu Yi. It's a pity, can Liu Yi listen to him? This girl, when will she have fun with herself?

Obviously there is no such thing, but it is said by Liu Yi that Cao Cao seems to have a very deep past. made Cao Cao feel unhappy.

However, after Cao Cao was angry, he thought about it carefully, although he did not have any too deep friendship with Liu Yi. However, when Liu Yi mentioned it, it really evoked a nostalgic state of mind for the past. Unnaturally, I thought of myself in the past. A time full of ideals and momentum. Of course, there are also a lot of good memories of those years.

He thought of it. Back then, he and Lewis seemed to have a common goal. In their hearts, everyone has the idea of helping the Han family and revitalizing the Han Dynasty. Although he didn't have any communication with Liu Yi about these thoughts, it seemed that they could understand each other's minds. When they crusaded against Dong Zhuo together, he was the only one who had some common views with Liu Yi, so he made a gentleman's covenant with Liu Yi who would occupy Luoyang first.

At that time, Cao Cao thought that he must have won the battle, but he did not expect that he was blocked at Xingyang Pass, and missed the opportunity to compete with Liu Yi for Luoyang in vain. Of course, at that time, he still had a chance, that is, he could unite with Yuan Shao and drive Liu Yi out of Luoyang while Liu Yi's foothold in Luoyang was not stable. However, at that time, Cao Cao had a view that Yuan Shao's brothers and other princes in the world were inadequate, coupled with the damage to his strength, even if he participated in the coalition to attack Liu Yi, he was afraid that it would be difficult to play a dominant position, so he would rather abide by the gentleman's covenant with Liu Yi than attack Liu Yi with the Yuan Shao brothers.

Cao Cao has never regretted this point, and when he thinks about it occasionally, he has not regretted it because he missed this opportunity to drive Liu Yi away and watch Liu Yi gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, all the way to the current strength.

Although he failed to seize Luoyang at that time, Cao Cao did not think that his starting point would be lower than Liu Yi's. On the contrary, at that time, he believed that his strength, as well as his development prospects, were much better than Liu Yi's New Han Dynasty.

Now he is left behind by Liu Yi's new Han Dynasty, Cao Cao can't catch up with the horse now, at this point, Cao Cao feels a little admired for Liu Yi's actions, at least, he thinks that he really doesn't do as well as Liu Yi, it's not as good as it, Cao Cao is calm enough.

Now, Cao Cao's heart is just unwilling, he thinks that he also works the same hard and has the same ambitions, how can he bow to Liu Yi? He is the kind of person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. It's a big deal, a big battle with Liu Yi, even if he fails in the end, Cao Cao feels that he has no regrets in this life. Losing to such an opponent, Cao Cao felt that he could breathe. Otherwise, even if there is still a breath left, he wants to defeat Liu Yi to prove that he is more powerful and superior than Liu Yi.

Some things are really hard to say, some people have nothing to do with each other at all, but they will become opponents in the dark, as if it is a natural fate. Cao Cao now feels that he and Liu Yi are such opponents. Only one of the two can be saved.

After a long time, Cao Cao read the letter again.

Later, Liu Yi's tone changed, and he seemed to be at ease with Cao Cao, and his tone was quite sincere, and there was no longer a taste of admiration, but a bit of a heavy taste.

"Brother Cao, don't blame me for Liu Yi's nagging, but some words, don't vomit or be unhappy. Okay, let's get down to business.

In fact, you and I both know in our hearts that whether it is the New Han Dynasty or the court of your Xu Capital, they can all represent the orthodox court of the Han Dynasty. At this point, I, Liu Yi, cannot deny the reasonable legitimacy of your court. Similarly, I also admire Brother Cao a lot. There are so many princes in the world, but only Brother Meng De can govern the Central Plains so well. What Brother Meng De did in the Central Plains is something that people can see. is indeed doing practical things for the people of the Han Dynasty. No one can erase such an achievement.

It is precisely because of this that Liu is willing to have an equal dialogue with Brother Meng De. We put aside all kinds of personal grievances, only talk about justice, no matter which of us finally unifies the two courts, I believe that anyone can sincerely serve the people of the world, but now, we seem to be facing a problem of you submitting to me, or I to you. Everyone understands. The two imperial courts must be unified, and this is also a natural law that the world must be united for a long time, and no one can stop the trend.

What I want to tell you now is that the military horses of our two imperial courts are really fighting to the death, so that the children of our Han can truly unify the Han Dynasty? I believe that Brother Cao also understands that the New Han Dynasty is good. Whether you are in the court or not, in fact, they are all Han courts, and we are all Han people. Therefore, Liu thinks. If you can, try not to fight.

Perhaps, Brother Cao will think again now, I, Liu Yi, now stand and talk without back pain. It's all hit to this point, and it's forced Brother Cao, you have no way out. I told you not to fight? Is this a joke?

Oh, that's fine. I believe that there are some things that need not be said too clearly, if Liu does not send troops and does not compress Brother Cao's military horses back to the area of Xudu, not in the whole situation, it will form an encirclement of Brother Cao. Will Brother Cao be convinced? Can you easily speak of surrender?

Of course, the current situation seems to be favorable to Liu, so Liu will persuade Brother Cao to let go of the obsession in his heart, you and I work together to revitalize the Han Dynasty. But in other words, imagine that Liu was attacked by Brother Cao like this, and was compressed by Brother Cao's army in a city, at this time, if Brother Cao can accommodate Liu, you can accept Liu's surrender. I believe that for the sake of the overall situation of the entire Han Dynasty, and in order to avoid damaging the vitality of too many Han people, I, Liu Yi, am willing to surrender.

Or, this is also a success or defeat, but, for the sake of the world, I think, sometimes it is indeed necessary to let go of some selfishness, who of us is with whom? should be able to afford to hold low.

You Cao Cao can overwhelm me Liu Yi in the situation and defeat me Liu Yi, so what if I, Liu Yi, will give you the title of vassal?

Now, Brother Cao, what else do you want? What's the point of fighting any longer? Needless bloodshed and sacrifice, return to the New Han Dynasty, I, Liu Yi, can guarantee that not only can Brother Cao continue to enjoy the current honorary status, but even the prime minister can let you continue to serve as the prime minister of the entire Han Dynasty, and you can continue to let Brother Cao show your ambitions, and we will work together to revitalize the cause of the Han Dynasty......

Having said that, Liu has already made the biggest concession to Brother Cao, it depends on how you think about it, Brother Cao. ”

……

Liu Yi is really not joking, he has discussed it with Xi Zhicai, Xun Wenruo, Jia Xu, Lu Zhi and other ministers of the court. If Cao Cao can submit to the New Han Dynasty, he can indeed promise Cao Cao that he is still the prime minister of the New Han Dynasty, and he can even let Cao Cao show his talents and let him really have power.

Of course, what Cao Cao did could not go beyond the norms of the basic national law of the New Han Dynasty, and there was also a cabinet in the New Han Dynasty, and some decisions had to be approved by the deliberations of the cabinet. Therefore, Liu Yi and all the ministers in the court were not too worried about letting Cao Cao continue to be the prime minister of the New Han Dynasty, which was just equivalent to adding a position.

However, Cao Cao also has his own ideas, although he did see Liu Yi's sincerity from this letter, he would not agree to Liu Yi's conditions.

Because he had already made up his mind, he would never bow his head to Liu Yi easily. Therefore, no matter how nice Liu Yi said, even if it was for any righteousness, he would not agree.

In fact, it is also human nature, a person has a different philosophy, how can it be possible to make the other party obey by saying a great righteousness?

What's more, Cao Cao is not a descendant, he doesn't know what happened to the Han after the Three Kingdoms War. In Cao Cao's current mind, he didn't think that a big battle with the New Han Dynasty would affect the vitality of the Han people.

In recent decades, especially in the past ten years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting everywhere, and many soldiers have been sacrificed every day.

Therefore, what Liu Yi said to Cao Cao could not affect Cao Cao's mental decision.

Cao Cao also replied to Liu Yi about what he said.

In general, it is to show Liu Yi his determination, he thinks that anyone can say it, but the facts are the facts, and it is he Cao Cao who is in a weak position now, and he is not allowed to speak no matter what Liu Yi says. If there really is such a day, when he Cao Cao defeats Liu Yi, he may also give Liu Yi a chance to surrender as Liu Yi said.

Now, Cao Cao is still unwilling, he always thinks that he has not completely lost, he still has so many military horses, and he still has the strength to fight with the New Han army. At this time, surrendering without a fight is not his Cao Cao's character.

Therefore, Cao Cao also made it clear that Liu Yi didn't need to say more, in the end, who won and who lost, it was still up to his subordinates to see the truth.

A few days later, Liu Yi received Cao Cao's reply in the Tiger Prison, and he couldn't help but scratch his head a little and be a little helpless. It seems that this battle is really inevitable.

However, if Cao Cao really surrendered so easily, then it would not be Cao ****. Liu Yi was also mentally prepared for this result. Before officially launching the final war against Cao Cao, talking to Cao Cao like this should be regarded as saluting first and then soldiering.

Now that it has come to this point, Leo Yi has nothing to say.

With this assistance, Liu Yi believes that the New Han Army will be able to capture Cao Cao's fortified city all the way, and he believes that the New Han Army will soon be able to further compress the Cao Army, so that all its military horses will shrink back to Xudu.

Therefore, Liu Yi believes that it is time for his middle army to advance again.

Immediately, Liu Yi ordered the generals below to immediately start attacking, striving to break through the Cao army's defense line in front of the Tiger Prison Pass in a shorter time.

And Liu Yi himself also personally led an army and advanced directly in the direction of Chen Liu.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu respectively increased the troops of Huaxiong, Xu Rong, and Wen Chou and Yan Liang, echoing each other and advancing in unison.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched out of the Tiger Prison Pass, mighty and prosperous.

This attack was bound to win, and almost all the men and horses of Luoyang, Guanzhong, and Bingzhou came out, including the military horses of foreign races outside the Saiwai, all of them were dispatched.

In the decisive battle, you have to fight the rabbit with the momentum of the lion, and you must do your best! (To be continued.) )
