Cao Cao's eyes swept to the three people in the hall, and a faint smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he liked this feeling very much, and it seemed that everything was under control.

He had already thought about it, so he didn't let Zhou Yuyi and Yan Xiang wait for a long time.

But I saw him say loudly: "Everyone, at the moment you and I are in danger, I believe that the lords of each family can also see clearly, Yuan Shang's little wolf ambition, the north has been unable to satisfy his appetite, and now everything he is doing is to go south, in view of Yuan Shang's strong soldiers and horses, it is urgent for you and me to join forces to resist the enemy, you can come to Wanxian on behalf of your own lord, think about it, you must have seen this clearly, now the consensus of cooperation is there, and many details of how to cooperate need to be negotiated with you, Speak freely, you can talk about your opinions, and you can reach a consensus with each other. ”

Yi Zhou Yu and Yan Xiang nodded slightly, but heard Yan Xiang say loudly: "I dare to ask, is Meng Degong ready for a bloody battle with Yuan Shang?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows frowned, Yan Xiang's words were very interesting, if Cao Cao had no intention of being an enemy of Yuan Shang, he would not participate in this meeting, he was unwilling to be swallowed up by Yuan Shang, so he actively sought cooperation, in order to be able to find an opportunity to radiate his sphere of influence from Yanzhou and Yuzhou in one fell swoop.

Even Zhou Yu and Yi Ji were slightly stunned, they didn't expect that Yan Xiang would ask such an obvious question, if Cao Cao was not ready to fight with Yuan Shang, would he still appear here?

Faced with Cao Cao and Zhou Yuyi's stunned and puzzled looks. Yan Xiang didn't explain anything, looked at Cao Cao directly, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Degong only needs to answer the following questions?" Are you ready for a fight to the death? ”

Cao Cao's short beard trembled slightly, and in the face of Yan Xiang's questioning, he didn't see him show disgust or anger, and after a short silence, he heard him ask rhetorically: "Then I want to ask a rhetorical question, what if I am ready to fight to the death with Yuan Shang?" What if you're not ready to fight to the death? ”

Yan Xiang's eyes sparkled, and he didn't see him get up, just sitting cross-legged on the ground. Low body. But it exudes an awe-inspiring momentum.

"If Meng Degong is ready to fight to the death with Yuan Shang, my 200,000 elite soldiers in Yangzhou will be your allies in the near future..."

"If Yu Ru is not ready to fight Yuan Shang to the death, Yan will leave later and tell my lord the truth. persuade Yuan Shang to surrender. ”

Yan Xiang's answer. Quite imposing. Especially the last sentence, it is even more sonorous and powerful, and it is deliberately rendered by Yuan Shang. With the natural tone and solemn expression, everyone could see that if Cao Cao said a word, Yan Xiang would immediately withdraw from today's meeting.

Cao Cao's eyes looked at Yan Xiang deadly, and his voice gradually deepened: "How dare you conclude that a certain person is not ready for a bloody battle with Yuan Shang?" ”

Facing Cao Cao's gradually fierce eyes, Yan Xiang was not afraid, and said coldly: "Just because Meng Degong has only mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses, and my lord has already gathered all the soldiers under his rule, if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent, Yuan Shang's strength is gradually rising day by day, if you don't have the will to break the cauldron, it is better to surrender." ”

"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and what you say is quite imposing."

Cao Cao didn't answer, but he heard a rather cold voice interspersed with it, and the source of the voice was Zhou Yu, who was sitting opposite Yan Xiang.

"Lord Yan's words are like thunder, but they make the little brother quite excited, I have no weak pawns in the six counties of Jiangdong, and I am not willing to invest in Yuan Shang's command as the dog that wags his tail and prays for food, but I don't know what Meng Degong thinks?"

Zhou Yu's eyes looked indifferently at Cao Cao, who was the leader, he was not worried that Cao Cao would give up the strategy of cooperating with them to contain Yuan Shang, but the statement should still be made clear, as Yan Xiang was worried about, everyone must be united at the moment, and Yuan Shang must not be given the opportunity to enter, of course, all this is easier said than done, but what should be picked out still still has to be clarified, and the two ends of the beginning and the end have always been despised.

In addition to the Yi nationality who looked a little sad and had not yet spoken, the two representatives representing Yuan Shu and Sun Ce also expressed their thoughts positively, the reputation of the Yi nationality is not as good as Zhou Yu who is soaring in Jiangdong, and it is also inferior to Yan Xiang, who is only a small official before Liu Biao's death, and his talent is naturally there, but his reputation has not yet been known to the world, so he has always held an attitude of listening but not speaking, and now Yan Xiang and Zhou Yu are taking turns to coerce Cao Cao to express his position, and he is also silent and does not speak.

Cao Cao is worthy of being a famous hero in history, and in the face of Yan Xiang and Zhou Yu's repeated questioning, his slightly frowning brows instantly relaxed, and he couldn't see any extra emotions.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, Zhou Yu and Yan Xiang no longer stared at Cao Cao, and casually tasted the wine and melons and fruits that had already been placed on the table, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Haha~"

At this moment, the hearty laughter broke the silence for a moment, and the dull atmosphere in the hall was shattered, and the hearty laughter was like the old being suddenly exposed to the sun, and the gloomy atmosphere that was condensed was swept away in an instant, Zhou Yu and Yan Xiang and even Yi all had a slight arc at the corner of their mouths, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, if he is irrational, everyone in the hall can be irrational, but he will not, this is a man with a heart as deep as the sea.

"200,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are ready to go, although I Cao Cao spares his life, he is not afraid of death, so why gamble on an old life?"

"Meng Degong is arrogant, and the Iraqi people admire it."

At this time, the silent Yi can no longer remain silent, following Yan Xiang Zhou Yu Cao Cao one by one, if he is so silent again, the next target to be questioned is him, rather than waiting for Zhou Yu and Yan Xiang Cao to force him to make a statement, it is better for him to take the initiative to make a statement, no matter what, the goals of the four families are indeed the same, although there are some subtle differences between expressing and not expressing a position, but, in essence, everyone regards Yuan Shang as a great enemy, and there is not much difference in this point, for now, the four families will only be friends rather than enemies.

"But I don't know what Uncle Liu Huang plans to do?"

Yi's bitter gourd face showed a resolute look, and said solemnly: "My imperial uncle is a descendant of the Han family, and Yuan Shangnai is a villain who wields power, even if you are not an enemy of him, my 150,000 soldiers in Xuzhou have long been eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, as long as my imperial uncle gives an order, the 150,000 elites of Xuzhou will wave their troops to fight with Yuan Shang, and the blood will not retreat." ”

"Good, good, good"

Zhou Yu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Don't ask your brothers to work together to break the gold, in the face of Yuan Shang's great enemy, I and a few others must be as close as brothers, and only in this way can we ruthlessly crush Yuan Shang's wolf ambitions." ”

"Gong Jin is right, Yuan Shang has become a climate, and it is no longer something that I and a few others can compete with alone, for the sake of today's plan, if we and a few others are not tied into a rope to fight the enemy together, they will be broken one by one in the future, and no one will have a good time, so it is urgent to step up the contact between the families." Yan Xiang replied loudly.

"Cooperation is based on trust."

Cao Cao's face was indifferent: "It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do, but I don't know, how are you going to carry out in-depth cooperation?" ”

But at this moment, Yi's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and he took out a few bamboo slips from his arms that had obviously been prepared a long time ago, Cao Cao and the others saw this, looked at them suspiciously, but saw Yi Yuan stand up and distribute a few bamboo slips to everyone's hands, exactly three, no more, no less.

"This is the proposal of my imperial uncle and the two military advisors, you can take a look, if you think there is anything wrong, you can point it out and discuss it together." Ichi explained.

Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Yan Xiang and the three of them turned out to be bamboo slips, and their eyes flashed with wisps of fine light, if it was really as Yi said, this bamboo slip was made by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, then the weight was really not light, with the reputation of these three people, it was naturally worth letting them think carefully.

Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and Yan Xiang all cast their eyes on the bamboo slip in their hands, and gently pulled it away, and then everyone's eyes began to freeze on the wandering bamboo carving, and the hall was instantly quiet, only the sound of breathing proved their existence... (To be continued......)
