Chapter 268: Mutation
Cao Cao's first encounter was a few dozen warships led by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Your Excellency Cao Cao, there was a lot of movement before. I thought I might never see you again, but it turned out more than I expected. The person who can defeat the Yaqi Great Snake is not an ordinary person, and the person who can shock the Heavenly Cloud Sword is even more a god! ”
"Ieyasu, it's falsely praised, Lone is also forced to be helpless, otherwise, he would not sacrifice the Zhuxian Sword. The way Lone treats you and Nobunaga is different from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's. In the eyes of the lonely, you are a handsome man, knowing the current affairs and discerning the situation in front of you. ”
"You're right, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. Who would have thought that the legendary Yaki Orochi and the artifact would be defeated by you?
Your Excellency Cao Cao, can you tell me what you are going to do after you win the Battle of the Three Kingdoms? For the loser, the outcome is the same, but for the winner, the outcome becomes colorful. ”
"After the war? If Lone says that Lone hasn't thought about it yet, do you believe it? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"I believe it. Because you don't have to lie to me. Your Excellency Cao Cao, I am willing to lead my troops to submit to you, please accept our submission! ”
"Ieyasu, Ieyasu, you're really smart. The result is the same, but the expression is different, and the actual effect will be different.
Surrender has a pejorative connotation, and it is a choice that is made only when you are completely defeated or outnumbered and unable to resist.
Surrender, led all the men and horses to be ready to go, full of energy, and before the battle, he expressed his submission to the other party.
Smart people tend to know the second option, but will choose the first because they want to save face. And only those who have great wisdom will directly skip that complicated process and choose the second way,
Ieyasu, there is no doubt that you are a man of great wisdom. To your submission, Lonely is an acceptance. You and your subordinates are welcome to join the Lone family. Lone believes that we will definitely get along happily in the future.
So, let's go and meet your former lord, Oda Nobunaga! Lone didn't want him to get too entangled. ”
"Yes." Tokugawa Ieyasu gave Cao Cao a standard samurai salute.
Cao Cao didn't ask too much of him. After all, he is a hero of Dongying, and if he is forced to kneel and bow, it will make the calm situation become turbulent. Rather than this, it is better to go with the flow, and maybe one day he will follow the local customs.
The army of the Oda army marched in the direction where the Oda army was stationed. About fifteen minutes later, the flag of the Oda family appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The flag, which stretches for hundreds of miles, tells its heroic deeds in the wind. Among the three heroes of Dongying, in terms of popularity, prestige, and strength, Oda Nobunaga is undoubtedly the strongest. The scope of this territory alone is enough to show that even if Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi join forces, they will not necessarily be his opponents.
"My lord, Cao Cao is here. In his army, I saw the banner of the Tokugawa family. Niwa Nagahide reported anxiously.
"It seems that two of my former subordinates have been defeated by Cao Cao. Hideyoshi was a talent, but at times he was a little paranoid, or rather stubborn. Since you didn't see the banner of the Toyotomi family, it means that he has been defeated and returned to where he should go.
Let's go, follow me to meet Cao Cao. Whether it is victory or defeat, the loser does not lose the battle, and we must not lose in terms of momentum! Oda Nobunaga stood up from his chair, swung his robe, and strode toward the shore.
Looking at each other across the sea, Oda Nobunaga took the initiative to shout to Cao Cao: "Cao Cao, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." You are very powerful, how long has it been since the Battle of the Three Kingdoms Sea began, and you have even connected two families in such a short period of time, it seems that God has taken you very seriously, and he cannot allow others to destroy your heroic image and hinder your victory. ”
"Don't dare to be. Nobunaga, the historical trend is mighty, those who follow the trend prosper, and those who go against the trend die. Don't you see the general trend of the world today?
If you don't know, you can take a look at the lone group of battleships. Spell attacks, rain of arrows, and artillery attacks, these three alone are enough to destroy your position.
Do you remember what Lone talked to you about before, the soldiers who surrender without a fight? In order to do this, you must have strong strength. Without strength, this is an empty word, a big word that makes people laugh and makes people feel like air. ”
"Your Excellency Cao Cao, I originally wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight with you. But now it seems that I am self-inflicted. You're not ready to go ashore at all. But if you don't go ashore, how can you eat all my troops? If I retreat into the depths of the island, how will you arrest me? Besides, Arthur's side has also acted, so aren't you worried about your back being attacked? ”
"You're right! If you really retreat to the depths of the island, Lone really doesn't dare to venture deeper. But Lone has never fought a battle that he is not sure of. Before Lone opens the cards, Lone gives you another chance, surrender! Nobunaga! You have to believe in Lonely. ”
"Your Excellency Cao Cao, please forgive me for preferring to die rather than surrender! It's not my style to surrender, I'm the bones, unless the enemy knocks it off one by one! ”
"Hey! All right! In that case, then Lone will open the cards! Akechi Mitsuhide, what are you waiting for! If you don't make a move now, when will you wait? ”
"Hulala" was a downing flag, and a quarter of the flags in the Oda barracks changed colors. Akechi Mitsuhide once again played a role in history, only this time not at Honnoji Temple, but on the shore of Higashiei Island in the Three Kingdoms Sea.
"Hahaha..., Mitsuhide! Sure enough, it's you! Luckily, I was prepared. Long-tailed Jinghu, how long are you still going to watch the show? Oda Nobunaga laughed, and then looked to the other side of the island.
A banner of "Hulala" lit up, and the long-tail army led by Long-tailed Jinghu appeared in everyone's field of vision in high spirits.
The sudden change made the atmosphere on the scene weird. Judging from the number of banners alone, the army brought by Nagao Keitora was no less than that of the Oda army. After the two armies converged, it was enough to match the combined strength of the three heroes of Dongying.
Cao Cao raised his hand and touched his forehead, he couldn't figure out which one this was coming from, and the development of the plot shouldn't be like this. From the Yaqi Snake, the Heavenly Cong Cloud Sword to the Long-tailed Jinghu. A series of changes have made the battlefield situation ups and downs, and it is fascinating.
Tigers on land are not scary, but tigers with wings are scary. The strength of the tiger combined with the agility of the eagle, it is not so simple to beat it with one punch.
"Ieyasu, did you know that Nagao Keiho joined this battle?"
"My lord, I don't know. I was also surprised by his appearance. Tokugawa Ieyasu was sincere in tone and sincere in his attitude. The moment the long-tailed Jinghu appeared, he was really taken aback by him.
"It's getting more and more interesting. I hope that Arthur's changes will not be too big, otherwise, Lone's little heart will not be able to stand it. Cao Cao laughed at himself to dispel the doubts and shocks in his heart.
