Chapter 415: Let's talk at the end
Regarding what he did, Cao Cao smiled and said that he didn't say much, Cao Cao didn't say anything, and Wei Tao didn't ask more.
At this time, in fact, whether it is for Cao Cao or Wei Tao, this is of no special significance, even if it is the son of the Liu family, in fact, it is no different from a bird in a cage, and it is no longer put in people's hearts at all.
"Sit!"
Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and pointed to the pavilion and said, although he has passed the age of 'knowing the destiny of heaven', but Cao Cao is Cao Cao's generation of heroic demeanor after all, but it has not weakened by half a point.
Seeing this, Wei Tao was not polite.
Although Wei Tao is not the kind of hypocritical person, after all, he is also a son of heaven now, and he will not be half cowardly when facing Cao Cao.
In the middle of the pavilion was a pot of wine warm on the charcoal fire, and there were many delicate green plums next to it, apparently just plucked from the tree.
"Qingmei boiled wine and talked about heroes, thinking about talking with Brother Meng De at that time, it was still very pleasant, but now, who else in the world can be heroes besides me and Meng De? What's more, even in the world at that time, how many worthy heroes did the rest of the people have? ”
When Wei Tao saw Cao Cao cooking wine himself, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said leisurely.
"But today, a fight between me and Brother Mengde is inevitable. I know my brother's ambitions are different from mine, but they are no different. Although I knew it was useless, I asked my brother to consider it. It is not a conflict for your and my interests, but for the entire Central Plains people to avoid this military disaster. As for the King of Wei, I can also respond to it. And if the elder brother is really 'a martyr in his twilight years, his heart is strong'. I can make a promise. As long as it is a place for the elder brother to open up. It is the territory of my brother's country, hereditary replacement, I can set up an ancestral precept here, rise up from myself, and never take the initiative to attack. ”
"Ziyu! Ziyu! I'm not as good as you! ”
Hearing Wei Tao's words, Cao Cao was only slightly stunned and came back to his senses, but after coming back to his senses, Cao Cao pointed at Wei Tao and laughed.
In fact, with Cao Cao's attitude. is very rude to Wei Tao, no matter what, Wei Tao is also a genius.
However, in the face of Cao Cao's attitude, Wei Tao smiled lightly, if he groveled, then it would not be Cao Cao, not to mention that this time he met in private, Wei Tao also faced Cao Cao as before, not the identity of the Son of Heaven, but Cao Cao's descendants.
"Brother Mengde. In the past, I used to learn from you, not only to learn martial arts from you. It's also to learn the art of war with you. In the future, the reason why I was able to defeat again and again and be called the number one military general in the world was because of Brother Mengde! ”
Seeing Cao Cao so free and easy, Wei Tao was quite sighing at the moment.
"If I can, I am really willing to help Brother Meng De, not to help the Han, but to expel the foreigners, so that the people will no longer suffer from the suffering of the foreigners!"
"I naturally understand Ziyu's meaning, being able to speak out of a country, even if it is the resurrection of the ancestors, I can't do it! Don't you hear that those who are not surnamed Liu cannot be crowned kings? ”
Cao Cao also stopped laughing at this time, and then his expression was straight, and what he said was also extremely serious.
"But it's a pity that even if this is the case, I still have to say a word to Ziyu. This battle must be done! ”
Wei Tao was not surprised by Cao Cao's words.
Cao Cao is a hero or a hero, but it is impossible to accept the charity of others anyway, even if he knows that Wei Tao is not actually a charity, but he is also unwilling to accept something like Wei Tao that is not much different from charity.
This is Cao Cao.
"Brother Meng De invited me here, there must be something to talk about, if so, how about asking Meng De to speak up?"
Wei Tao was slightly silent, for this long time expected to know, Wei Tao really couldn't continue to speak, he could only change the topic after a slight silence.
"Yes, it is indeed an important matter, and it is a major matter that concerns you and me."
Cao Cao didn't care about Wei Tao changing the topic, he also smiled, and then said directly.
"A war between you and me is inevitable. Now the princes of the whole world are left with you and me, but with the location of your and my territory, even if it is not impossible to gather millions of troops. And whether it is your new dynasty or the Han dynasty I represent, such a big war and chaos will be far more violent than before, and I am afraid that I don't know how many people in the Central Plains will suffer for it. Not to mention, if you are weak because of this, I am afraid that those foreigners who have just been suppressed by you will have some different intentions. I'm afraid that's what you don't want to see, right? ”
Wei Tao frowned slightly, Wei Tao naturally knew these things, and it could even be said that these things were Wei Tao's biggest weakness.
Even in the face of Cao Cao's offensive, Wei Tao was actually unwilling to reduce the border defense, so as not to be taken advantage of by foreign enemies.
But this is Cao Cao's advantage, with Wei Tao's forces being contained, even if Wei Tao starts a war with Cao Cao, I am afraid that he can only defend it, but he will not be able to attack.
"Is Meng De soft-hearted? But where can a march and fight always be undefeated? What if it doesn't go well this time? What's more, as long as it is won in the end, where is there so much fairness? ”
Wei Tao couldn't figure out what Cao Cao meant for a while, so he just smiled and dealt with it casually, but this is also common sense in soldiers, after all, war is never fair.
"What if I give Ziyu a fair?"
But contrary to Wei Tao's expectations, Cao Cao first drank a glass of green plum wine, and then said slowly.
"Whether it is Zi Yu or my Cao Cao, now it is the place where the land spans several states, if it is really to do everything, then it is one side to fight in front, and the other side still sends people to attack it around the back, so that it is difficult to take care of each other, and finally it is to win."
Wei Tao still didn't understand what Cao Cao said, but he did agree with what Cao Cao said, and nodded slightly at the moment.
"Yes, that's right, the border is very wide, but there are not so many troops guarding it, and I still have to thank Mengde's men for their mercy. Otherwise, if I send a team of people to attack You, And, Xu, Sili and other places, I'm afraid that if I am in a hurry, it will be difficult to break Sun Quan and Liu Bei. ”
"Haha...... Then I don't need Ziyu to thank me! If I do this, won't Ziyu follow suit? It's just that you and I understand it in our hearts, so we don't move our ears? ”
Cao Cao replied with a smile, and then slowly continued.
"What I mean is that you and I can send an army for a decisive battle, and neither side can send reinforcements, and whoever is defeated will directly surrender and hand over the lands of the states, let alone have the slightest complaint because of this. I don't know what Ziyu thinks? ”
"Hiss......"
Wei Tao gasped, he never thought that Cao Cao would propose such a proposal, but Wei Tao should not respond for a while.
For Cao Cao, Wei Tao asked himself if he understood, and heroes can cherish heroes.
But Wei Tao never thought that Cao Cao would say such a thing, no matter how much he knew what Cao Cao was thinking, he would be a little suspicious and wavering at this time.
Who is Cao Cao asking for?
What did Mende say about this? Don't you make fun of me? ”
Since he talked about the right thing with Cao Cao, Wei Tao naturally wanted to negotiate with Cao Cao according to the business, and put his identity and Cao Cao's identity on one of the princes.
"Teasing? You know, I'm not going to do that. ”
Cao Cao smiled, without the slightest explanation, just said directly.
"You and I each make preparations for March, and then fight with the Yuzhou Plain, this battle, the two sides can send 300,000 soldiers, can not send reinforcements to come, and can no longer use grain and grass, all depending on the arrangement between the two sides, if anyone is defeated, he will directly admit defeat and surrender, and there can be no slightest complaint. Can Ziyu dare to gamble? ”
This time, Cao Cao directly said all his plans, and then stared at Wei Tao with a light smile, so that Wei Tao really didn't understand what he was thinking.
Wei Tao also frowned and looked at Cao Cao tightly and did not answer, this kind of thing is really a matter of importance, even Wei Tao himself is not good to decide.
For a moment, the two of them were silent.
"Hehe......"
Wei Tao is Wei Tao after all, after being silent for a while, he suddenly smiled, smiled very easily, and after laughing, his expression was correct.
"I'd rather be responsible for the world than for the world to be responsible for me. My brother's words are rumored all over the world, but I didn't expect my brother to fight with me fairly. Although I don't know what my brother thinks, since my brother is so interested, how can it not be justified? So that's what I should do. After March, I should personally lead the army to come, and I will definitely be able to fight with my brother when the time comes! ”
Regarding what Wei Tao said, Cao Cao did not have the slightest hint of success, but just smiled and nodded, as if he had thought that it would be like this.
Then Cao Cao didn't wait for Wei Tao to ask again, he just raised the wine glass in front of him and toasted Wei Tao.
"Ziyu, after today, you and I will no longer have brotherhood, only victory or defeat on the battlefield. How about you and me drink this cup together? ”
"Please."
Wei Tao also raised his glass.
Only this day is the last peace between Wei Tao and Cao Cao, and when they meet again in the future, only the sword is left.
Both of them are heroes, they don't like children, they laugh together after a drink, and then they don't say a word at all, they both turn around and leave immediately.
From beginning to end, whether it was Wei Tao or Cao Cao, there was never the slightest plan in this meeting.
However, Wei Tao didn't know that Cao Cao turned back slightly and glanced at him when he was leaving, and then muttered to himself in a low voice when he turned his gaze.
"That's fine, Ziyu, I hope you can have a chance to understand what I'm doing now. If I can't, I won't have the slightest mercy, and when the time comes, Kuang Fu Han will boost the prestige of my Han, and I Cao Cao can do it! (To be continued......)
