Cao Cao personally welcomed Zhuge Liang into the camp. After coming to the military tent, he repelled everyone, leaving only Xun You, Guo Jia, and Yang Xiu.

Zhuge Liang kept a distance from Yang Xiu on the surface, and even betrayed the Holy Sect because he was born in the Holy Sect and looked at him coldly, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, it seemed that Yang Dezu had completely won Cao Cao's trust and entered his core team.

Everyone sat down, and Cao Cao muttered: "Kong Ming has reached the eighth level of cultivation at the age of a young man, which can be regarded as a natural asset, and when Cao Cao was as old as you, he was still naughty in Luoyang. Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, and it's better to be ashamed of yourself. ”

Zhuge Liang said modestly: "Cao Gong praised it. Not to mention Cao Gong, didn't Guo Fengxiao also reach the eighth rank? ”

Guo Jia laughed and also complimented a few words. After laughing, he suddenly coughed loudly, and his face turned with an unhealthy red tide, and he became out of breath.

Cao Cao said with concern: "Fengxiao, are you okay, do you need to take a break?"

Zhuge Liang also expressed concern.

Guo Jia was willing to show weakness in front of Zhuge Liang, forcibly suppressed the cough, and his mind was swollen for a while, so he had to sit next to the chair and close his eyes to recuperate.

I only heard Zhuge Liang sigh: "If you want to talk about the wealth of the sky, you dare not be ashamed." However, my father-in-law, from a humble family without the guidance of a famous teacher, relied on his own talent and hard work to reach the eighth level of cultivation. "Heavenly resources" could not be more appropriate for him. ”

Zhuge Liang said this, of course, not without purpose. Now that the two armies are facing each other, the existence of an eighth-rank pulse division is enough to influence the situation of the battle, since it is to come to peace talks, it is very necessary to show their capital to the enemy.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Cao Cao and Xun You glanced at each other, and their expressions suddenly became solemn. Even Guo Jia, who was resting, rolled his eyes and frowned slightly. He had fought against Shi Xin before, and he was the only one who could cause real damage to the demons so far, and he was even more difficult to deal with than Zhuge Liang.

Yang Xiu, on the other hand, snorted coldly, expressing disdain and disgust.

Zhuge Liang took a full view of their performance, believing that if it weren't for his presence, they would be far more surprised than they are now.

Cao Cao and the others knew Zhuge Liang's intentions well, Xun You quickly recovered from the shock and smiled slightly, "What Kong Ming didn't know was that Yuan Benchu also had two eighth-rank pulse masters under his command. Under their leadership, other pulse masters have also made great progress, especially Yan Liangwen and Zhang He, known as the four pillars of Hebei Courtyard, all of whom have the courage to be invincible. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, shook his head and sighed, "Alas, this will be more difficult." ”

Xun You thought that Zhuge Liang was afraid, and said with a smile: "I persuade Kong Ming to go back, and ask Sect Master Shi to prepare." There are four eighth-rank pulse masters on both sides of Cao Yuan, and the soldiers and horses are twice as large as yours, so you have to deal with them carefully, hehe!"

"Huh? Xun Gongda can still laugh? It's really incomprehensible. Zhuge Liang was stunned.

Xun You was confused by him, "Why can't you laugh?"

"The reason why I'm sorrowful, Gongda thinks it's for us, it's wrong, it's wrong, I'm sad for you!"

Xun You's face turned cold, "Hmph, Kong Ming is really big-hearted, and he is worried about us." We Cao Yuan join forces, the world is invincible, why worry?"

"What about after joining forces?"

"After joining forces, there is no need for Kong Ming to bother. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, took a sip of tea, and then Shi Shiran said: "Cao Gong also thinks like this?"

Cao Cao shrugged and said, "That's probably it!"

Zhuge Liang laughed, his face suddenly turned cold, he stood up, walked to the tent door without looking back, and was about to come out.

After spending so much effort, they even said that they would leave? Although Cao Cao and the others were also peerless wise men, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and persuaded: "Why didn't Kong Ming leave in displeasure? Although the two armies were hostile, it was rare to get together, so why not stay for a while?"

Zhuge Liang sneered: "Since Cao Gong is so determined that he has decided that I am here to beg for mercy, then what else do I have to say, let's see the real chapter under my hands!" He said that he was leaving again.

Zhuge Liang looked indignant, not as if it was fake, Xun You nodded at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao simply stuffed him back into his seat.

Zhuge Liang calmed down for a while, and after taking a long breath, there was still a sneer on his face, "Ming people don't say dark words, Liang has already guessed what Cao Gong thinks." The seemingly inseparable alliance between you and Yuan Shao is fake, and the reason doesn't need me to mention more. But what will happen after that, Liang has already come to a conclusion: You want Yuan Shao to fight with me in Qingzhou, and take advantage of the fisherman. Or sneak attack Yuan Shao's rear, or when our army is on the verge of annihilation, temporarily send people to negotiate peace. At that time, our army had to agree, so we had to fight Yuan Shao with you. Cao Gong, am I wrong?"

Cao Cao became expectant Ai Ai, but he was actually shocked. And Yang Xiu finally understood that the hole cards mentioned by Cao Cao and Guo Jia turned out to be cooperating with the Qingzhou Army, which was intended for Yuan Shao.

Zhuge Liang never doubted his guess, and sneered, "But, since everyone can guess it, can't Yuan Shao's frustrated Tian Feng guess it? Tomorrow, the three parties will officially start a war, and then they will definitely send more people to keep an eye on you, and if they want to sneak attack his rear, how easy is it? Moreover, Cao Gongmo has forgotten that Yuan Shao has three states in hand, and there are even 100,000 troops near Yecheng, and there is a real dragon staff to protect him, are you sure that you can annihilate him in one fell swoop?"

Cao Cao couldn't help it at this time, and finally revealed his true thoughts, "Annihilate in one fell swoop?" Alas...... I can't even think about it, it's not bad to be able to consume his 50,000 soldiers. As for sneaking up on his rear, it was just to plunder some resources and cities and slow down his development. ”

"If Gong Cao cooperates with our Holy Sect in advance, he can use a plan to lure out the 100,000 soldiers in Yecheng, or draw out a part of it, then it is not as simple as plundering, maybe he can destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. ”

"This ......"

Cao Cao's eyes were scorching, and his heart was surging. Yuan Shao kept pressing him, saying that it was impossible to replace him if he didn't want to. But he fought many battles before, and the original 100,000 soldiers lost 20,000, and now all the soldiers and horses add up to only 80,000, which is as many as the Qingzhou soldiers. He divided another 30,000 troops to guard Yuzhou, and 50,000 troops were already all he could take out.

This cooperation to attack Qingzhou was actually Yuan Shao's proposal, if he wasn't afraid of Cao Cao's stab in the back, he would have the strength to send troops unilaterally. said that it was a proposal, but in fact, everyone knew that this was coercion, if Cao Cao did not agree, he would not attack Qingzhou first, and turn his head to attack Yanzhou.

The history of the previous life also followed this trajectory, but Shi Xin made Yuan Shao lose face in the battle of the Heavenly Master Sect, Yuan Shao poured his anger on his head, and decided to destroy Qingzhou first, and then deal with Cao Cao after a while.

Now that he has said it, Cao Cao no longer conceals it, "Even if I cooperate with you, Kong Ming and Sect Master Shi are sure to draw out Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses? Besides, Yuan Shao is staring at us, if we don't attack with all our might, he will definitely blame us, and in the end, we will still be constrained by him." ”

"It's very simple, tomorrow we will divide our troops to garrison Jinan, more in the north and less in the south. At that time, Cao Gong proposed to Yuan Shao, you should also attack separately, Cao Gong attacked the south, and Yuan Shao attacked the north. We will put most of our forces in the north to confront Yuan Shao, although there is still a gap in strength, but our fortifications are extremely sufficient, Yuan Shao can't get the benefits, maybe he can be caught off guard, and the troops will be lost. ”

At this time, the soldiers and horses led by Cao Gongsuo have penetrated into Jinan under our deliberate permission. Yuan Shao was arrogant, how could he admit defeat, and naturally he would send troops from Yecheng for reinforcements. When the time comes, Cao Gong will cooperate with us and consume his troops. Hey...... As long as Yecheng's troops are empty, Cao Gongjin can attack the city and plunder the land, and retreat can bury his head in development, and he will no longer be afraid of Yuan Shao. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang sighed, "It's just that we are facing Yuan Shao's army alone, and I believe that we have no strength left to pursue them, otherwise we can still get a piece of the soup in Jizhou when we beat the water dogs." ”

Zhuge Liang said that Cao Cao was on the ground, and he had no doubts in his heart, and said categorically: "Kong Ming, please return to the history sect leader, and do it according to your wishes!"

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, stretched out his right hand and raised it in the air, "A gentleman's words ......"

Cao Cao laughed, stretched out his hand and slapped Zhuge Liang together, "Whip the horse!"
