After staying at Arthur's castle for one night, and having breakfast the next morning, Cao Cao led his men and horses to board the return ship under Kai's send-off.

In the main hall of the castle, Arthur, who was sitting on the throne, asked Merlin, "Old man, do you think what Cao Cao said is true?" Does he really want to settle the Battle of the Three Kingdoms Sea in such a gentle way?

Even if I agree to work with him, what about Dongying's side? They're all militants! Especially when the two sides are evenly matched, they are more willing to use their own force to conquer the other. ”

"Arthur, we don't have to doubt Cao Cao's sincerity. If he really just came to test the military situation, it can be said that he has succeeded. Besides, the sword in the stone is all known to our side. Even if he is an Oriental, as long as he raises his arms, I think there will still be many people who will stand on his side.

But what are the facts? He behaved very low-key, and returned the sword in the stone to you. And he didn't deliberately disguise, but revealed his true feelings. Based on this, I think that he really wants to impress you with his sincerity, and as he said, he hopes that the battle can be resolved through peaceful negotiations, rather than by force. ”

"Gawain, what is your opinion?" Arthur did not rush to answer Merlin, but continued to ask Gawain his own questions.

"Your Majesty, with the knight's intuition, I don't think Cao Cao is a hypocritical person. When he communicates with us, he shows his true temperament. You let us read his information before he came.

From his words and deeds after he came here, I carefully compared them with the contents recorded in the materials. But it turned out to be exactly what you had in mind, and it didn't match at all.

Therefore, I feel that what is recorded in the book is not necessarily true, and the real may be right in front of our eyes. The contradiction between the two is precisely because this incident itself is a real thing that can no longer be true, but it makes us feel like a fake. ”

"Merlin, Gawain, thank you. Without you, I'd rather believe that all of this was fake. It's very close to the start of the Battle of the Three Kingdoms. We need to do the preparatory work, but it can be relatively slow. If Cao Cao could persuade one of the three heroes of Dongying to accept his idea, we would not be unable to accept his proposal. ”

"Yes, great king." Merlin Gawain bowed to Arthur at the same time. The command was close to what they had hoped for.

Standing at the bow of the warship, Sima Yi and the others stood respectfully behind Cao Cao. They understood what Cao Cao wanted to do, but they didn't think that Cao Cao's idea could be realized.

"Prime Minister, we have done what should be done. The rest is left to fate. Wechen knows that you want to surrender without a fight, and you want to treat the upcoming Battle of the Three Kingdoms in a different way. However, despite the speculative behavior of Arthur, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Oda Nobunaga, I think there is a lot of water in it, at least I can't trust them. ”

"Prime Minister, Zhong Da is reasonable. While you communicate with them, the Admiral is watching them carefully. According to the general's observation, they do have what you think in their hearts, but it seems unrealistic to ask them to put their thoughts into action.

Whether it is a Dongying person or a Westerner, they all understand that the opponents who are fighting with them are not ordinary people, but a real generation of heroes. Doing business with the hero, that is to pay attention to strength, without strength, then there is no cooperation, only oppression or use.

Neither of them will be willing to lay down their weapons. Whoever lays down his arms first will be the first to admit that they lost the battle. Surrender without a fight, lose without a fight, even if they can accept it as the commander-in-chief, what about the soldiers under their hands?

The dangers of mutiny in the barracks, you are clear. In order to prevent this from happening, there are certain things that must not be done. For example, what the last general just said. ”

"My lord, I'm not what they think. No matter what you decide, I will support you unconditionally! Even if it's broken! ”

"Like Dian Wei, we will do whatever you ask us to do. We will never ask why, we firmly believe that the lord will not joke with everyone's lives! ”

Dian Wei and Cheng Biting Jin's words made Sima Yi and Xiahou Xuan's faces red. What they said made sense, but even if it did, it couldn't stand up to the sensational words of the two of them.

"Hahaha..., the sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. You are all very good, and you are very lonely. Cao Cao laughed heartily, without a trace of displeasure and mixed emotions because of their words.

Looking at their ignorant expressions, Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Your worries are alone. It is precisely because we understand that Lone knows what we are going to do. Don't look at us tossing back and forth, as if we are doing useless work. In fact, our actions were very helpful for the next battle of the Three Kingdoms.

The idea of surrendering without a fight is good. If we want to be a soldier without a fight, the first thing we have to do is to be several times ahead of the enemy's overall strength. Please note that Gu is referring to comprehensive strength, not military strength alone.

Dongying people are very interesting, you are strong, they are afraid of you. You are twice as strong as they are, and they will learn from you. But when you are more than three times stronger than them, they will surrender to you with all their hearts. This is respect for the strong, and it is also the nature that goes deep in their bones.

Not to mention Westerners, who don't want to sit down and negotiate fairly with them without great strength. They pay attention to etiquette and look quite gentle, but the arrogance in their bones is far better than the gentlemanly demeanor on the surface.

For them, the interests come first. As long as there is interest, they will take risks, even if they have to face the devil, they will move forward.

The Battle of the Three Kingdoms Sea was of no substantial benefit to Arthur. What if you win? He was originally the legendary king, and even if he died, he still lived in the realm of elves. He has a completely different treatment from Dongying Sanjie, so in this battle, as long as there is no bargaining chip that can make him tempted, he is simply reluctant to accompany us to stage an all-martial arts march in the Three Kingdoms Sea.

Zhongda, don't you read the military book and the thirty-six strategies on weekdays? Don't you see what kind of plan you are up to? ”

Cao Cao's words changed, which made Sima Yi, who could listen attentively, stunned. After a while, Sima Yi leaned over and said, "Please forgive Weichen for being stupid, and please explain it to the prime minister." ”

"The enemy's battle plan, the eighth plan, the plan of darkness. In layman's terms, it is the dark Chen Cang of the Ming plank road.

On the surface, Lone wants to reconcile the enemy and us by taking action on his own, but in fact, during the Lone trip, Lone's army is not idle.

After the enemy's attention is all focused on Lonely, it is time for us to develop ourselves vigorously. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.

If you want to know what medicine is sold in the gourd, you will know when we return to the camp. ”
