Cao Cao ran all the way and finally returned to Xinye.

After entering the city, seeing that Yang Zhao did not chase after him, Cao Cao was finally able to calm down, and after fighting for so many years, he was really just in front of Yang Zhao, he would be so embarrassed.

When facing other enemies, even if they are defeated, it will not be like this.

"Lord, Yang Zhao didn't chase after you." Ma Liang said.

The gates of Shinno were soon closed.

There were also soldiers who brought all kinds of huge stones and blocked them in the openings of the city gates, which could effectively resist the bombardment of Yang Zhao's artillery, and this was all they could do.

The gap in weapons is too great for them to resist.

Now that there is not even Huang Yueying, Cao Cao really wants to arrest Huang Rong, but if he dares to do so, there will definitely be many people in Jingzhou who will rise up against him.

When the time comes, the situation will be even more difficult.

"It's good that you didn't chase it!"

Cao Cao relaxed: "Zhicai, what should we do now?" ”

If he could always believe in Xi Zhong, it wouldn't be like this, at least maybe he wouldn't lose it so quickly, and he could barely resist and resist for a while.

They were carried away by the victory, ignoring the rest, and ended up losing so badly.

Xi Zhong said: "I still suggest that the lord ask Yang Zhao for peace first, and like Liu Bei's approach, the lord and Yang Zhao were friends before, Yang Zhao should agree, and we can delay for a while and seek other development and preparations." ”

Not long ago, Cao Cao swore that it was impossible to sue for peace with anyone.

After listening to Xi Zhong's words, he finally had the idea of seeking peace, but in doing so, he slapped his own face, so that his face could not be hung up, and when the time came, he would no longer have prestige in the face of his subordinates.

Chen Gong echoed: "Seeking peace is just an expedient measure, what we have lost now will definitely be able to seek Yang Zhao back in the future!" ”

Cao Cao walked back and forth, constantly thinking about what to do.

Do you want to find Yang Zhao to make peace?

"My lord, there is a man named Fazheng outside the city, he said that he is from Chengdu and wants to meet with his lord." At this time, a soldier came in and said.

The people of Chengdu are Liu Bei's subordinates.

Who is the Fa, Cao Cao has heard of it.

Liu Bei sent someone to Xinye?

"Let him in!"

Cao Cao was a little curious, what Liu Bei wanted to do.

It's just that someone will be sent over at this time, maybe Liu Bei still wants to cooperate, continue to let go of his previous hatred, and deal with Yang Zhao together.

After a while.

"Fa Zheng, the word filial piety is straight, meet the Duke of Chu!"

Fa Zheng came in, bowed down and said.

Cao Cao asked, "Liu Bei asked you to come to see me, what's the matter?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "Our lord believes that Yang Zhao is not something that either of us can defeat, and the previous peace is just an expedient measure, in exchange for a time for development, even if Yang Zhao no longer attacks Yizhou in the future, we will go north and attack Guanzhong again." ”

This answer was expected by Cao Cao.

Because of this, Cao Cao is also struggling with issues such as whether he should seek peace.

Fa Zheng said again: "I am here on behalf of the lord, I want to unite with the Duke of Chu, only if the two of us join forces can we deal with Yang Zhao, otherwise no one is his opponent." ”

Even if Cao Cao was unhappy with Liu Bei, he had to agree at this time, thinking that Liu Bei's approach was the safest, and they could only keep warm with the weak and deal with the strong together.

"Even if we join forces, it may not be Yang Zhao's opponent."

Xi Zhong said suddenly: "Before, Sun Quan took the initiative to unite with us, and the three parties sent troops at the same time, but they couldn't defeat Yang Zhao, the king of Hanzhong asked you to come, do you have any other way?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "That's right! ”

Cao Cao asked curiously, "What else can you do?" ”

"The method is not the king of Hanzhong, but I proposed it."

Sima Fu has been following Fa Zheng's side, and when the matter in Chengdu was solved, he first came to see Cao Cao and said: "Sima Fu, the word Shuda, I have seen the Duke of Chu." ”

"Are you from the Sima family?"

Cao Cao asked in surprise.

The Sima family was chased and killed by Yang Zhao a long time ago, and finally escaped from the Han Dynasty and fled to the west, and now they dare to come back?

Sima Fu nodded and said, "Exactly!" I came back to take revenge, Yang Zhao and our Sima family, the feud is as deep as the sea, Duke Chu should know, right? I have a way to defeat Yang Zhao. ”

Cao Cao asked, "What method?" ”

Sima Fu said: "I also have the manufacturing methods of Yang Zhao's firearms, and if Duke Chu can help me avenge my revenge, I am willing to sacrifice these methods unconditionally." ”

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao and the people around him asked in surprise.

They wanted to get Yang Zhao's weapons, and they thought about it for a long time.

Does Sima Fu really have it?

"Where did you get all that technology?"

Chen Qun asked first.

Sima Fang said: "You don't need to care about this, if you can cooperate, I can teach you all the techniques, as for whether there is a problem with me, you can verify it casually." ”

His arrival disrupted Cao Cao's initial plan.

Cheng Yu asked: "Did you also give Liu Bei the technology of those firearms?" ”

"That's right!"

Sima Fu admitted.

Cao Cao suddenly felt pressured.

If Liu Bei also has those firearms, then among the three major princes in the world, the weakest person will become himself.

"Zhicai, how's it going?"

Cao Cao asked Xi Zhong again.

Xi Zhong thought for a while and asked, "Does Liu Bei really want to cooperate with us?" Your Sima family also really wants revenge, and you are sure that you will teach us all the firearms techniques? ”

Fa Zheng said: "Our lord, you are absolutely sincere! If we don't cooperate, we can only watch Yang Zhao swallow us, and Chu Gong doesn't want everything he has worked hard to be snatched away by Yang Zhao. ”

Sima Fu took out a large stack of paper from his body, paper and these things have long been passed out, and many people use them, and said: "This is part of the technology, you can take a look first!" ”

Cao Cao took it first, only to see all kinds of data on it, as well as drawings, and couldn't understand what it was at all, so he handed it to Xi Zhong.

Xi Zhong can't understand what these things are.

"You shouldn't be able to read it."

Sima Fu said: "If you can believe me, all the firearms, I will help you make them, although they are currently a little worse than Yang Zhao's, but they will not be too bad, give me a period of development, Yang Zhao can have firearms, you can all have them." ”

Fa Zheng said: "Our lord, I believe in Shuda." ”

In other words, Liu Bei has already cooperated with the Sima family.

Cao Cao could only look at Xi Zhong again.

"Lord, you can give it a try."

Xi Zhong agreed.

Hearing what Xi Zhong said, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!" But you have to give us a copy of your technology. ”

Although Sima Fu is asked to make firearms, the technology must be mastered, and he must also arrange people to develop it, the technology is the most fundamental, and it is also their confidence in the future.
