Chapter 545: Dissecting the Situation Cao Cao Sued for Peace

Xu Chu and Ma Chao are both a generation of fierce generals, and they can really change the situation wherever they go, but after all, they still can't make the red sun in the sky follow their orders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before noon on the fourth day of the seventh month, Xu Chu and Ma Chao, who were looking forward to the early setting of the sun on the city tower, suddenly heard an urgent report from the guards who were listening to Jia Ji tell that a large number of displaced people had come to vote for Hua Fei: His Majesty sent his uncle Dong Cheng as an envoy, and he is now asking to see the lord outside the east gate of Gucheng.

"But it's bitter!"

Ma Chao and Xu Chu glanced at each other secretly bitterly when they heard the report, and their hearts were immediately upset for each other, and they both felt a sense of sympathy for the fallen people at the end of the world.

"Hey!" Ma Chao slapped his thigh and said hatefully, "Cao Cao, isn't this guy in a hurry to be reincarnated?" Can't you wait for half a day and then send someone here?

What a fucking coward! This time it can be regarded as a miserable pit for Ma Laozi, you must know that Ma Laozi wants to doze off as soon as he sees the book, this time he has to memorize the "Art of War" within a month, isn't this equivalent to asking for someone's life? ”

Xu Chu was so remorseful that even his intestines were blue, and he remembered that Gan Xingba was with his father-in-law, and he lost a bet in Jiangzhou, so he followed the lord.

Even Jia Xu, the old fox, can't bet on the lord, but he still stupidly goes to bet with him, isn't this purely the old birthday star hanging himself - is he impatient?

To say that Dong Cheng was not sent by Cao Cao, it is even more unbelievable than the sun coming out of the west, and both of them understand that this is just as Hua Fei expected, it was Cao Cao who sent Dong Cheng to Gucheng in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention that these two not only failed to get the five jars of wine that made them salivate, but also accompanied the fierce general brother who silently wrote "The Art of War" within a month, and looked at each other so much that they wanted to cry without tears.

However, Hua Fei did not rush to ask for debts from his confidant, but immediately asked people to open the city gate and go out of the east gate to greet Dong Cheng with courtesy, and the two had their own politeness after meeting, and then Hua Fei welcomed Dong Cheng into the Gucheng County Yafen and sat down to ask about the matter.

Dong Cheng saluted Hua Fei and said loudly: "Does General Right know that General Zhendong has mobilized nearly 90,000 soldiers from Yan and Henan Prefectures under his command, and is now gathering a large army in Luoyang City?" ”

"So what?" Xu Chu, who was in an unhappy mood at the bottom of the stairs, heard Dong Cheng say that Cao Cao was powerful, and couldn't help waving his hand angrily and retorted, "It's not once or twice that my lord defeated Cao Cao with the weak defeating the strong.

Cao Cao, his turtle grandson, even if he has more soldiers, what can he do with us? If he wants you to scare us, you can go back and let him try! ”

"Zhong Kang must not be rude," Hua Fei hurriedly dissuaded, but turned to Dong Cheng and said, "Uncle Guo naturally knows what Hua said, but although Zhong Kang is rude, what he said is not completely unreasonable, if Cao Cao wants to fight, then Hua will naturally accompany him to the end." ”

"General Right, you misunderstood!" Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart when he saw that the two monarchs and ministers were angry, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Last night, General Zhendong had the heart to fight again.

However, His Majesty was kind and loving, and because he was worried that the people would suffer from the military disaster, he once again ordered General Zhendong to negotiate peace with General You, so as not to suffer from the lives of the soldiers. ”

"Of course, there is no problem in negotiating peace," Hua Fei waved his sleeves and said to Dong Chenglang, "It's just that you said that Cao Cao was at the behest of His Majesty, which is a bit too far-fetched.

Now that I don't have any outsiders here, Uncle Dong Guo, you might as well tell me the truth, why does Cao Cao want to negotiate peace with me? ”

"Sure enough, this smart man is definitely not easy to fool!"

Dong Cheng secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this, but then he hugged his fist to Hua Fei and said: "Don't hide it from General Right, General Zhendong had already ordered when General Dong came, if General Right asks you about the reason for the peace, you can tell you clearly, in fact, the real reason is because of Guo Xianjiu He ......"

Under Dong Cheng's complaint, Hua Fei and others learned that after Cao Cao asked Guo Jia on the night of the third day of the seventh lunar month, Guo Jia asked Cao Cao rhetorically: How many troops are still available in the two states and one Luoyang of the self-army?

Can such a force stand up to attrition any longer? In addition, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and even Yuan Shao's allies, can they really make him completely reassured?

If the self-army and Hua Fei fought in Luoyang for a long time, would the two states of Yan and Henan, which were already empty, still be as stable as Mount Tai?

Maybe Guo Jia only asked such a few questions, but Cao Cao was as sober as when he encountered cold water in the cold winter, and of course he knew that his total strength was less than 150,000 after encountering Hua Fei's repeated blows.

Dong Cheng said that Cao Cao was asked by Guo Jia several times in a row, and when he was so shocked that he was drenched in cold sweat, he only felt that his mouth was dry, so he stopped talking and raised the tea cup, wanting to drink chewing tea to quench his thirst.

Hua Fei can deeply understand Cao Cao's worries, you must know that Cao Cao is a character who would rather teach me to bear the world, and Hugh let the world bear me.

After listening to Guo Jia's inquiry, how could he believe that Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce would care about the righteousness of their allies and not fall into the trap for him?

Hua Fei secretly thought at that time that Sun Ce, who was dominant in Huainan and Jiangdong, might not immediately make a move against Cao Cao, because he was bent on avenging his father's plot to kill Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

But if Cao Cao was embarrassed by other attacks, it would really be impossible to say.

And Yuan Shao's guy has always forgotten the righteousness when he sees small profits, although he is now fighting with Gongsun Zan in Beiping, but if Cao Cao has no soldiers to defend here, who can guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to go south to seize Cao Cao's foundation?

As for Liu Bei, who is in Xuzhou, Wen is supplemented by Chen Gong, Wu Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others help, plus he has been in Xuzhou for a long time and has no territory for him to develop, who dares to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to bite the weak Cao Cao?

In fact, poor Xu Chu and Ma Chao didn't know that Hua Fei had already thought of these possibilities after seeing that Cao Cao didn't take advantage of the attack last night, so he would come to bet with them with confidence.

Another said, even if Hua Fei loses the bet, it is just to accompany ten jars of wine, but if he wins, it is the so-called open book is beneficial.

Hua Fei wants to believe that as long as Xu Chu and Ma Chao can memorize the "Art of War", which is the first of the seven books of the martial arts classics in later generations, it will be the same as being familiar with the 300 Tang poems, and they will not be able to compose poems and chant them, which will always be helpful to the two of them.

When Hua Fei thought of this, he asked Dong Cheng, who was drinking tea, "Then Cao Cao must have asked Guo Jia immediately, right?" ”

"That's right," Dong Cheng replied after taking a sip of fragrant tea, putting down the warm teacup, "General Right, you can really be aware of everything, Cao Cao really didn't dare to slack off at that time, so he hurriedly asked Guo Jia." ”

"How can this be considered discerning? Uncle Guo, you are too awarded, Fei is really ashamed to be ashamed," Hua Fei waved his hand modestly, but then asked in a deep voice, "Then Guo Jia's plan for Cao Cao is to let you come and negotiate peace with me?" ”

"Exactly," Dong Cheng stood up and hugged his fists, "At that time, Guo Jia just said to Cao Cao lightly: 'My lord can ask Your Majesty to pass on a decree, let that Hua Fei negotiate peace with our army first,

In this way, the strength of the candidates will not dare to act rashly against our army's territory, and then our lord will make great efforts to govern the country, and the Central Plains will be rich and populous, and it will not be long before he recovers. ”

"Guo Jia, a ghost talent with superior intelligence, this eye strength is really excellent!"

Hua Fei sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, and asked with a smile at Dong Cheng: "Didn't Cao Cao ask Guo Jia, what if I don't agree to negotiate peace?" ”

"Of course, there is." Dong Cheng saw that everything was not as Hua Fei expected, so he raised his head and sighed.

Hua Fei wanted to get a glimpse of the idea of "ghost talent", and continued to ask with interest: "Then how did Guo Jia answer Cao Cao?" (To be continued.) )
