The pre-battle answer is the same as the general's heads-up, which is the rule of the Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, the scale of the war was not large, and the two sides of the war would usually say a few words before the battle, the content of which was nothing more than preaching the truth that the great righteousness is in oneself and the evil is the enemy, so as to achieve the effect of boosting their own morale and suppressing the enemy's morale.

From a certain point of view, the war of that era was very orderly, first fighting, if you can't win, you will go heads-up, and if you still don't accept it after the heads-up, you will fight in groups, and there is an obvious escalation process.

However, as the scale of the war grew, these rules, which had no practical meaning, were gradually abandoned. In the era of the military saint, the war advocated that the soldiers were not tired of deceit, and those who followed the old ways such as Song Xianggong were no longer the benchmark of morality, but the laughing stock of the world.

Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei's heads-up belonged to a narrow road encounter, and the two sides of the battle invariably sent the number one fierce general to the vanguard, and when they encountered, they naturally had to fight.

But before the battle, there is no need for such a response.

With a three-inch tongue and a soldier who surrenders without a fight, even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin are resurrected, it is impossible to do it. However, those who have the confidence in their eloquence can use their words to shake the opponent's mind and engage in psychological warfare in the process, and if they are lucky enough, they may even be able to obtain important information about the opponent's strategic deployment.

The problem is that the person who sent out the invitation is Cao Cao, and the opponent is Wang Yu!

The former is not a blind and arrogant person, and the latter is a dangerous person recognized by the world!

Wang Yu has always liked to invite the enemy lord to talk about it before the war, and then use the fast horse martial arts to capture the thief and capture the king first. But since he raided Huaxiong, he has never met a good person who is willing to cooperate, so it is the king to make a fortune in a muffled voice. If you show your skills, anyone will be able to guard against them, and if you use them again, they won't be smart.

Now, when he himself gave up, a good person finally appeared, and Cao Cao was automatically sent to the door!

"Interesting, so funny!" Wang Yule is happy, worthy of Cao Cao, and he is indeed extraordinary. I really surprised myself, or the surprise was more appropriate.

"Let's go, Ziyi, come with me to meet Cao Jun Qunying." He waved his hand and motioned for the guards to lead the horse.

"Whoa." Tai Shi Ci was already ready. He knew Wang Yu's ability and was more confident in his martial arts, so naturally he would not worry or advise, so he happily promised and jumped off the high platform.

"Hmm...... Cao Mengde is quite resourceful, and the lord should be careful. "According to his duties, Jia Xu should give advice. But he was familiar with Wang Yu's temper, and knew that those words were in vain, just reminding Wang Yu to be careful.

"A certain province can be saved." Wang Yu turned over and nodded. Regarded as agreed, and then rode out with Taishi Ci's soldiers and greeted him.

Seeing the movement here, there was a commotion around the red-robed general for a while. There seemed to be an argument, but calm quickly returned. At last. The red-robed man who suspected to be Cao Cao came up with two entourages from afar.

"Only two? Cao Apu is very confident? Tai Shi Ci took the reins of the horse, lowered his voice and proposed: "Lord, that big black man is Dian Wei, although this person's martial arts are high, but his riding skills are average, if he is ......"

"Don't rush, let's see." Wang Yu didn't think that Cao Cao would leave such a big flaw and let himself take advantage of it, he brought two guards, on the one hand, he did not mean to show weakness, and at the same time, he should be prepared.

Although the power of joining forces with Tai Shici is great, Cao Ying is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the butterfly effect caused by himself cannot change the general trend of the world, but many people and things have changed, and at the moment Wang Yu cannot determine the identity of Cao Cao's other guard.

If it is a strong opponent and he can't make a surprise attack, but it shakes his morale, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his troops?

Anyway, it's a free opportunity, of course, you can't let go of the opportunity once and for all, and you don't have to force it if you don't have the opportunity, chatting with a celebrity like Lao Cao is not a fun thing.

About fifty paces apart, the three horsemen on the opposite side grabbed their horses. At this distance, they can already see each other's expressions on their faces, and they can hear loud voices, so there is no need to move forward for safety reasons.

"Wang Junhou, farewell to the sour dates that day, it has been nearly two years, and I have seen the princes and marquis vigorous, and the style is better than before, and it is a joy to be honest." Cao Cao hugged his fist from afar, and there was a lot of embarrassment in his tone.

Wang Yu arched his hand and responded loudly: "See laughing, laughing, the old man came from afar as a guest, but Yu, the host, failed to greet him from afar, lost his manners, and asked Brother Meng De not to blame." ”

"Brother Pengjuxian's words are too foreign." Cao Cao's greeting is of course not as simple as it seems, Wang Yu's answer is also a hidden edge, listening to Wang Yu as the master, Cao Cao is not annoyed, but follows Wang Yu's words, changed the title, and then changed the conversation: "here, there are really good words to give." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De's high opinion, but he can't help but listen to it, and he is willing to hear it." ”

"Since the first year of Zhongping, the world is in turmoil, the wolf smoke is everywhere, the people are not living, after the Hebei War this year, Jizhou must be a devastation, thinking about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, our Han courtiers all broke the liver and intestines, tears and tears!" Cao Cao's tone was painful, and his face was compassionate and compassionate, even with Wang Yu's eyesight, it was difficult to know whether it was true or false.

"Restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty is also Yu's wish, but the situation is pressing, and I have to fight, and I have to die, so what can I do?" couldn't guess Cao Cao's true intentions for a while, so he simply sighed in the other party's tone.

Cao Cao's tone became more and more sincere: "If Brother Pengju is interested, Cao is willing to be a middle-aged person, mediate in the middle, and resolve the grievances between Qing, You and Jizhou." Wouldn't it be beautiful to let each family take a break and guard the border, which not only avoids the danger of swords and soldiers, but also exempts the suffering of the people? ”

"Huh?" Wang Yu was very surprised, he thought that Cao Cao took the risk to see him because he wanted to spy on intelligence, but he didn't expect to put on a posture of a middleman.

Mediation, it shouldn't be Cao Cao's true intention, compassion for the world or something is also marginal, is he planning to use this to spy on how high his fighting spirit is, and then deduce his hole cards?

With his mind racing, Wang Yu decided not to express his position for the time being, and waited for Cao Cao to finish his performance.

"The high vision and the weight of righteousness of Brother Pengju have long been famous all over the world, needless to say. But. The current situation is no longer possible, why should the virtuous brother continue to insist? Don't you know that if you continue to fight, you will not be able to change the general trend and increase the suffering of the people? ”

"The so-called impermanence of the army, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known, if it is just to compare the outnumbered soldiers and horses on both sides to distinguish the winner and loser, then the famous generals throughout the ages have not been doing useless work?"

"Although the virtuous brother has a high level of knowledge, this statement is poor." Cao Cao shook his head. asked: "Dare to ask Brother Xian, why did the Hebei War start?" ”

"Uh......" Wang Yu paused slightly,

That's a really hard question to answer.

The deep-seated reason, of course, is that he wants to compete for the world, and Hebei naturally can't let go of this territory. But it's hard to say. Speaking of superficial reasons, he came to reinforce Gongsun Zhan, build a barrier for Qingzhou, and win the opportunity for development.

Among allies, in fact, there is also a master-slave theory.

Before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Wang Yu came to wave the flag and shout, so when crossing the river. He didn't even bring more soldiers, and the results of the coalition were all Gongsun Zhan's, so he just took some thank-you gifts.

By the time of the battle of Ryuminao, the two sides would become equals. The allies who fought side by side were similar to Sun Liu Kang Cao in the history of the previous life, and the two counties that were fought were also divided equally between the two sides.

This alliance looks beautiful. However, the stability is much worse than before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge. There is no clear master-slave relationship, as the situation evolves. Soon the balance will be lost.

Just like the relationship between Sun and Liu after the Battle of Chibi, at the beginning of the counterattack on Jingzhou, Sun and Liu have been fighting side by side and cooperating tacitly. When Liu Bei took Jiangling, the two sides immediately turned against each other, if it weren't for Sun Quan's scruples about Zhou Yu becoming bigger, he wanted to use Liu Bei to contain Zhou Yu, and at the same time worried about Cao Cao's counterattack, without waiting for the battle of Yiling, the two would have fought.

At present, the relationship between Wang Yu and Gongsun Chan also has a tendency to develop in this direction. Gongsun Zhan retreated, leaving Tian Kai and Wang Yu, who were in charge, got along happily, and it can be said that they obeyed their words; Liu Bei, another important figure, was also held by Wang Yu, and after this battle, no matter whether he won or lost, the momentum of the master and slave on both sides would be reversed.

With the current situation, Wang Yu is facing the siege of many opponents, and the situation is quite unfavorable, and most of the losers are lost.

Lost, the Qingzhou army could retreat to Qingzhou, relying on the Yellow River to defend and block Yuan Shao's pursuit, but Tian Kai and Liu Bei had nowhere to escape, even if they reluctantly fled back to Youzhou, the soldiers and horses under their command were probably not one in ten, and Gongsun Zan made matters worse, and his strength was greatly weakened again.

Even if Wang Yu won this battle with his ability to defy the sky, the situation would not be much stronger. After winning this battle, Wang Yu is very likely to annex Jizhou, and even if he can't, his prestige and strength will increase significantly, and Tian Kai and Liu Bei may be co-opted and become Wang Yu's subordinates.

Regardless of victory or defeat, Qingyou's relationship will undergo major changes, not to be transferred by people's will, winning this battle, Wang Yu will only face a more complicated situation, this is Cao Cao's hint.

The situation is very complicated, but Wang Yu will not be easily shaken, he laughed softly: "Brother Meng De knows if Brother Bo Jue will quickly quell the rebellion in Youzhou, return to Jizhou, and appear on the battlefield?" ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Pengju bullied me?" Cao Cao laughed.

"The danger of Youzhou, how can it be resolved in a moment or three? Wuhuan King Qiu Liju was injured by Gongsun Chan that day, and finally died of his injuries, and the new king Badun ascended the throne, threatening to seek revenge on Gongsun Zhan, and has allied with the Eastern Xianbei, gathered 100,000 iron horsemen, and went south! Even if Gongsun Chan has the ability of three heads and six arms, how can he pacify the two captives with his backhand, if he is in a hurry to fight, maybe he will lose his square inch and bury a lifetime of fame! ”

"What?" Wang Yu's eyes were fixed, and before he could answer, Tai Shi Ci behind him had already exclaimed in surprise.

Gongsun Zhan sent a letter, only saying that there were changes in Youzhou and related to Liu Yu, but did not specify the situation. If it was just Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan would indeed be able to quickly settle the opponent and return to Jizhou, in fact, this is also one of Wang Yu's killer features, but if Xianbei and Wuhuan come to commit it in a big way, it will be difficult to say.

Gongsun Zhan, who has lost the white horse and righteous servant, can stop Hu Lu's edge is a question, let alone quickly stabilize the rear and turn back to fight.

"Therefore, it is safest to stop the army."

After appreciating Tai Shici's surprised expression, and observing Wang Yu's face for a moment, Cao Cao continued to persuade: "The Youzhou infantry can return to help, the original brother wants to recover the lost territory, and he will not attack Qingzhou in a short time, and the virtuous brother can also collect the troops and go back, recuperate, and Cao will not have to meet the virtuous brother again." Wouldn't it be beautiful for all parties to gain and avoid a catastrophe? ”

Cao Cao had already said the same thing twice, but the effect before and after was very different. After throwing the bombshell of the Youzhou Shock, even the belligerent Tai Shici was silent.

The situation is getting more and more unfavorable, and winning the battle may cause Gongsun Zhan's suspicion, and if he loses, he will lose the whole game. Cao Cao's news obviously didn't come from Liaodong, he didn't have that channel, it was internal news!

Liu Yu has always adopted a soft policy towards the Hu people, and he is very prestigious in the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes.

The former wolf and the tiger, Gongsun Zhan, whose strength has been greatly damaged, can he stop Xianbei and Wuhuan? If they can't stop it, these Hulu will go south in a big way, scourge the whole of Hebei, and at the same time, become another support army of Yuan Shao, besieging the Qingzhou army.

At a time when it was already very unfavorable, with such a large army, it would be worse, so how could it be fought?

It seems that it is the best policy to give up Qinghe, Anping, and even the plains, reach a collegiate agreement, return to Qingzhou, and preserve strength!

Wang Yu remained silent, but Cao Cao did not urge, he believed that this unexpected news was definitely not in the other party's plan. Using such a piece of news to undermine the other party's confidence, disrupt the other party's deployment, and completely destroy the other party's comprehensive plan is his true intention to take the risk to invite the other party.

As for collegiality......

You know, these are troubled times, who cares too much about faith and righteousness? Besides, even if Wang Yu is allowed to retreat safely, before Yuan Shao's main force arrives, Wang Yu already has a lot of opportunities to retreat, who would dare to risk chasing him?

He is not Yuan Shao, he will not be so naïve, he always wants to solve the opponent once and for all, and an opponent like Wang Yu is not so easy to solve. It is enough to successfully regain the lost territory, press the other party back to Qingzhou, and re-form an encirclement posture, there is no need to take a huge risk and fight to the death with the other party.

After about a cup of tea, Wang Yu suddenly shook his head and said slowly: "Brother Meng De does put himself in the shoes of the younger brother, however, Han and Hu do not stand together, loyalty and treachery do not coexist, Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and it is incumbent on me to repay him as a national soldier and eliminate thieves for the country!" And how can you avoid it because you are afraid of hardship? Shrinking from self-reflexivity, although tens of millions of people have been there, so that the big husband is also! ”

Wang Yu looked at Cao Cao with a high spirit in his eyes, "Brother Meng De, is there anything else you want to say?" If not, let's get started! Ziyi! ”

"Mercy is here!" Tai Shi Ci was still a little skeptical, but after listening to Wang Yu's last words, he was immediately infected.

No matter how powerful the enemy is and how dangerous the situation is, he will never back down, for Tai Shici, this is the most charismatic advantage of Wang Yu's leadership.

"Come on! Take the lead for our army! Wang Yu raised his hand and pointed at Dian Wei behind Cao Cao!
