Chapter 224: Negotiation
"Cao Cao, let's talk!"
Liu Bei stood up, and looked at Cao Cao again, his tone of voice seemed very weak, but his eyes were still sharp, looking directly at Cao Cao.
At this time, the two sides will not have a second perfect solution except for talking, unless Liu Bei is not afraid of death, and Cao Cao no longer cares about Chen Zhou's life or death, and they are all fighting hard.
However, it is absolutely impossible to let Cao Cao ignore Chen Zhou.
"Watayuki, are you okay?"
Cao Cao ignored Liu Bei and asked Chen Zhou first.
Chen Zhou was tied up, and there was a soldier beside him, holding the knife on his neck, the blade was cold, and he said helplessly: "I can't die, the lord can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't dare to leave anything because of me." ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed in his heart.
Watatsuzhi is sincere to himself, and at the same time he regrets it, why only take care of himself, and not arrange for someone to protect Wataruyuki, if there is an arrangement in advance, it will not lead to this.
It was he who was wrong.
Chen Zhou also admitted that he had done something wrong, ignoring his importance by Cao Cao's side, and the degree of hatred that Liu Bei and others hated him.
Liu Bei and the others didn't go to Xun Yu to do it, but found themselves, that is, Chen Zhou's knowledge of himself was not enough.
"It's me who I'm sorry for you."
Cao Cao said guiltily.
"That's it!"
Liu Bei interrupted, but now it's a negotiation, not for them to admit their mistakes to each other, or to talk about other times, and said, "Cao Cao, how can you let us go?" ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the person who negotiates with you is not me, there are other people, but before we negotiate, let others in." ”
"Xuande!"
Soon, Dong Cheng's voice came from outside the encirclement.
While Cao Cao was blockading the inner city, Cao Ang also arrested Dong Cheng and others.
Dong Cheng and other ministers basically took out their own subordinates and used them, and were ready to bet on Liu Bei to gamble, just wait for Liu Bei to succeed, and then take himself with him to leave, and go north to cross the river to join Yuan Shao.
Their abacus made a "pop" sound, and they also knew that Liu Bei succeeded tonight, and Chen Zhou was successfully captured by Zhang Fei, but the next step was too late to be realized, and before Liu Bei could take them away, Cao Ang came to arrest them.
"Give it all to me!"
Cao Ang shouted angrily.
Cao Tai and Cao Fu rushed those ministers and walked towards Liu Bei.
A large number of archers of the Cao army drew their bows and aimed them at those ministers, as long as Cao Cao or Cao Ang gave an order, they would shoot ten thousand arrows at the same time, shooting those ministers into hedgehogs.
"Dong Guozhang, it's a coincidence."
Chen Zhou saw Dong Cheng coming over and gave him a bright smile.
"You ......"
Dong Cheng is now very unhappy with Chen Zhou.
He finally understood that Chen Zhou had never thought of taking refuge in himself from the very beginning, but he was just fooling himself, and by the way, he put some news on him.
He was also stupid enough to think that Chen Zhou would become his own person.
However, Liu Bei succeeded and arrested Chen Zhou, so next, he will have to repay his kindness and revenge, so that Chen Zhou will regret it.
Thinking of this, he felt a lot better.
Continue to walk towards Liu Bei.
Those ministers and their families were all brought out, and there were many more people around Liu Bei.
"Cao Cao, you don't want to use Dong Guozhang to exchange with me, right?"
Liu Bei asked.
At this time, Cao Cao only needed one order to shoot Dong Cheng and them all.
Dong Cheng is relieved now, thinking that he can leave safely, but when he sees the sharp arrow facing him, he feels panicked and uneasy, and he is afraid that it is certain.
"They? Not qualified yet! ”
Cao Cao smiled coldly, his eyes still staring at Liu Bei.
He didn't expect that Liu Bei's life was so hard, if he hadn't guessed wrong, Liu Bei probably wouldn't have died, so he could let Liu Bei leave alive, so he was very unconvinced.
Liu Bei said: "How do you want to talk to me?" ”
He was tempted to leave.
Gradually, he felt that his body had no strength, and the cold wind that had blown for so long could not hold on even to the iron beater, but his persistence, like Guan Yu, also had a belief in his heart.
He believed that Guan Yu would definitely come to save him.
This belief is still very firm.
So that he can hold on until now.
Before Cao Cao could speak, someone came again.
The people who came this time still came out of the palace, it was the chariot of the Son of Heaven, and the one who led the way in front of the chariot was Xiahou Jie who was sitting on a horse, and next to the chariot, there was a group of Cao soldiers again.
The chariot quickly came to Cao Cao's side.
Liu Xie got out of the car, his face was pale at this time, and his body trembled slightly when he saw the corpses piled up on the ground and the snow stained red by blood.
When I saw Dong Cheng and them again, they were all brought here.
He knew better that the plan of the edict had completely failed.
However, Cao Cao didn't kill himself, Liu Xie was thinking that there must be a purpose, so he set his eyes on Chen Zhou, but he didn't expect Chen Zhou to be arrested, and he didn't expect Chen Zhou to become his brother-in-law, and he wouldn't help himself.
As the emperor, Liu Xie felt very sad.
"Your Majesty!"
When Liu Bei and the others saw it, they got up and saluted.
Cao Cao said: "The person I want to talk to you about is Your Majesty, tonight's matter, Your Majesty will give the minister an answer!" ”
Liu Xie knew what the answer was, he could not kill Liu Bei, but Chen Zhou must come back safely.
Cao Cao deliberately did not mention the incident of the edict.
is to let Liu Xie do this, and when it is done, the edict can be erased, as if it never happened, Liu Xie can continue to be the emperor, and Cao Cao gave him this face.
It can be regarded as a transaction between the two of them.
Otherwise......
The Han clan relatives, there are more to go.
By Cao Cao's side, there is a Liu Ye.
It is not impossible to kill a Liu Xie and find a Han clan to support him as the emperor.
Anyway, at this point, Yuan Shu also opened the mouth of being the emperor, and no one cares about what is righteous or not, whether it is justified or not.
"Your Majesty...... Cao Cao, what do you want to do? ”
Liu Bei understood Cao Cao's thoughts, this was a threat to the Son of Heaven.
"Uncle Huang, let Chen Duzhi go, I can guarantee that you can leave safely." Liu Xie said.
Simply letting Chen Zhou go, or in the name of the Son of Heaven, giving Liu Bei to death, this approach is actually not as good as letting Liu Bei leave.
Once Liu Bei is forced into a predicament, he will take a risk, burn all the jade, and kill Chen Zhou.
Cao Cao also considered letting Liu Xie kill Liu Bei in the name of righteousness, but in the end he chose the most stable way to negotiate and trade.
He can't do without Chen Zhou, and he can't take risks, he just wants to exchange them genuinely.
The only choice is to let Liu Bei go, see you on the battlefield in the future, and then find a way to kill Liu Bei.
Hearing this, Liu Bei was silent.
He wanted to kill Chen Zhou very much, and he dreamed that he would end up in such a situation, thanks to Chen Zhou.
But as soon as Chen Zhou dies, in the entire Xu Capital City, people who are not from Cao Cao's faction will definitely be slaughtered by Cao Cao, maybe Liu Xie can still live, but life is better than death.
In fact, Liu Bei didn't want to die, and he was still afraid of death.
What Liu Xie said just now, maybe you can agree, but can you trust Cao Cao......
