Can I get to the other side?

After listening to Xu Huang's words, Cao Cao asked about the details carefully before he dispelled his doubts about him.

Fabricated stories have the most loopholes.

And what Xu Huang just said was very true, and some of the details he asked were also correct, which shows that these words were not false.

However, based on this speech alone, he still couldn't be sure that Zhou Yu and Lu Su really intended to surrender to him, after all, this was too coincidental.

Maybe the other party was acting for Xu Huang.

"Let's observe it again to see if there are any flaws. If what he said is true, then this may be a good opportunity for me to defeat the enemy."

Cao Cao thought secretly in his heart.

If Zhou Yu and Lu Su really intend to lead troops to surrender to him, then this is undoubtedly good news for him, and he may be able to seize this opportunity to defeat the Han army.

Of course, the premise is true.

Cao Cao collected his thoughts, looked at Lu Su again, and asked, "Even if what you just said is true, how can you be sure that I will tolerate you?"

"Although I know how to use people and don't care about their background, Zhou Yu is an old subordinate of Sun Quan. I once betrayed the alliance with Sun Quan, which led to his defeat and capture by Zhang Liao."

"Zhou Yu must hate me to the core, but now he wants to come to me. Is there such a thing in the world?"

This is the biggest reason for Cao Cao's suspicion.

The hatred between him and Sun Quan cannot be explained in a few words. It is no exaggeration to say that he has an unshirkable responsibility for Sun Quan's defeat.

He also knew Zhou Yu's loyalty to Sun Quan. How could he let go of his hatred and come to him?

Facing Cao Cao's question, Lu Su sighed again and said, "Although Cao Gong had betrayed Sun Quan, as the saying goes, all is fair in war. It can only be said that Sun Quan was inferior to Cao Gong in strategy, and the defeat was not someone else's fault."

"Although Gong Jin was also angry about Cao Gong's betrayal, he also admired Cao Gong's character and means, and he could be called a hero."

"As for the court... Gong Jin and I committed ourselves to the court to save our lives. We had no choice. If we didn't obey, we would have been beheaded like Sun Quan."

"Cao Gong only betrayed the alliance, but the court beheaded Sun Quan. Gong Jin hated the court even more than Cao Gong."

Lu Su did not directly say that Zhou Yu did not hate Cao Cao, but said that he hated the court more, and used Sun Quan's beheading by the court as an example. In addition, he secretly praised Cao Cao.

"Did Zhou Gong Jin think so?"

Cao Cao was slightly surprised. Although he knew that Lu Su's words were somewhat flattering, he still felt comfortable.

He admired Zhou Yu very much.

When he first formed an alliance with Sun Quan, he drank wine and talked about heroes in the pavilion. He once called Zhou Yu a hero in the world. This was not only to alienate Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, but also a bit of sincerity.

"Of course!"

Lu Su nodded heavily, and then took out a letter from his arms, "This is the letter that Gongjin asked me to bring to Cao Gong. Please take a look."

As he said, he presented the letter with both hands.

Xu Chu took the letter and handed it to Cao Cao, who opened it and read it carefully.

"Cao Gong and Sun have a feud of betraying the alliance, and Yu should not have surrendered to him. However, judging from the current situation, Zhuge Liang wants to use tens of thousands of newly trained naval forces to compete with Cao Gong's elite troops, which is like hitting a rock with an egg."

"Zhuge Liang is a man who relies on his ability and does not listen to loyal advice. He also abuses his power and is punished without guilt. He regards Yu as a criminal and repeatedly ridicules and even insults Yu's old master."

"Yu has no intention of rebelling, but the court cannot tolerate people, and Yu is humiliated for no reason. I really hate him."

"I have heard that Cao Gong treats people sincerely and is open-minded. I am willing to lead the people to surrender in order to achieve merit and revenge the death of my old master."

"I still have 8,000 old subordinates under my command who are willing to submit to Cao Gong with a certain amount of food and grass."

"I am crying and speaking, please do not doubt me, please do not doubt me!"

At the end of the letter, there are still a few spots of blood, and even the ink is much thicker, which shows how much Zhou Yu hated when he wrote this letter.

After reading the whole letter carefully, Cao Cao did not speak immediately, but frowned, paced back and forth in the tent, as if in deep thought.

After a cup of tea, Cao Cao finally stopped and said lightly: "Come on, drag him out and behead him!"

"Yes!"

The left and right stepped forward again, trying to drag Lu Su out of the tent.

Seeing this, Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head and laughed again: "Hahahaha!"

"Wait."

Cao Cao stopped his men again and asked Lu Su: "I have seen through your evil plan, why are you laughing?"

Lu Su did not even look at Cao Cao, and said expressionlessly: "I laugh at Gongjin for not knowing people! He actually thought you were a wise leader!"

"Forget it, no need to say more, please die quickly!"

Cao Cao laughed and looked at Lu Su with sarcasm on his face, saying: "I know you are not convinced, wait for me to expose your evil plan, so that you can die without regrets!"

As he said, he picked up the letter again and said: "Zhuge Liang is an extraordinary person, who can get the false emperor Trusted and respected, commanding the three armies, it can be seen that he is definitely not a mediocre person. "

"He ordered Zhou Yu to perform the "trick of self-torture" and deliberately performed it for General Xu to see. He also told you to let General Xu go privately and come to offer a false surrender letter."

"But he didn't know that I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I am well versed in the art of war, and I know the treachery of human hearts. This plan can only deceive others, how can it deceive me?"

"There are obvious flaws in this false surrender letter, but it's a pity that you don't know it and gave your life in vain."

Lu Su looked at Cao Cao, seemingly puzzled, frowned and asked: "Where is the fraud in this letter?"

"Haha."

Cao Cao smiled confidently, unfolded the letter and said: "I will tell you the flaws, so that you can die without regrets."

"Since you are truly willing to surrender, why don't you agree on a time?"

"Isn't this a flaw!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lu Su showed a look of astonishment on his face, and then laughed again, this time laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

"Haha, hahaha... It's a pity, you dare to boast that you are familiar with military books, it's really ridiculous!"

"You are an uneducated person, why don't you withdraw your troops as soon as possible! If you fight, you will be captured by Zhuge Liang!"

"It's a pity, I will die at your hands!"

Lu Su said bluntly, almost pointing at Cao Cao's nose and scolding him.

As soon as these words came out, Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu all changed their faces.

Xu Chu couldn't help but draw his sword and stepped forward, glaring at Lu Su and saying, "How dare you! How dare you speak wildly and disrespect the lord? Do you really think I dare not kill you!"

"Xu Chu, back off!"

Cao Cao stopped Xu Chu and then asked Lu Su coldly, "Why do you say I am uneducated?"

Lu Su snorted coldly, "You have no courtesy to treat a wise man. If you want to kill me, why bother talking to me? Just kill me quickly!"

Although Cao Cao was very unhappy, he still held back and didn't get angry. He said patiently: "If what you said makes sense, I will naturally respect you and treat you with more courtesy."

Lu Su glanced at him and then said: "Hasn't Cao Gong heard that 'betraying the master and stealing cannot be scheduled'?"

"If we agree on a date, but we can't do it at the last minute, we will come here to help, and the matter will be leaked. Such a big thing can only be done according to circumstances, how can we agree on a date?"

"You don't understand this, but you want to kill a good person. Aren't you an uneducated person?"

Cao Cao frowned while listening, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he finally relaxed his brows, stepped forward and bowed to Lu Su to apologize: "Sir, I didn't understand the situation and offended your dignity by mistake. Please don't worry about it."

As a superior, it is rare to be able to apologize in such a humble manner.

Seeing this, Lu Su stopped being so reserved. He sighed and returned the greeting with his hands, and said sincerely: "Lord Cao, Gongjin and I surrender sincerely."

"Like a baby looking forward to his parents, or a drought looking forward to rain and dew, this feeling and intention can be known by heaven and earth!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao stood up in awe and said: "If you two achieve such great achievements, you will be honored in the future, and you will be above others!"

Lu Su shook his head and said seriously: "Lord Cao, what you said is wrong! We surrender to Lord Cao not for the title and salary, but because Lu Bu is cruel, Zhuge is treacherous, and the false emperor is unjust!"

"If we can help Lord Cao and support the Han Dynasty, we will not let down our status as Han ministers!"

Cao Cao was very pleased and nodded repeatedly, and then said to Xu Chu: "Xu Chu, take the teacher down to rest, and don't neglect him."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xu Chu bowed and accepted, then stepped forward to take Lu Su out of the tent.

Not long after Lu Su left, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You came out from behind the screen in the tent.

Cao Cao retracted his gaze from Lu Su's departing back and asked the three people: "Wen Ruo, Gong Da, Zhong De, do you think Zhou Gongjin really wants to surrender to me?"

Although he just believed Lu Su on the surface, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he was not sure, so he wanted to ask Xun Yu and his opinions.

Xun Yu and his people arrived at the tent after him.

They just kept hiding and did not show up.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "If what General Xu said is true, then Zhou Yu's desire to surrender to Sikong is understandable."

"In any case, Sun Quan died at the hands of the false emperor, and Zhou Yu is a loyal and righteous man. It is not impossible that he rebelled in anger after being resented."

Hearing this, Xu Huang hurriedly said, "Every word I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. If there is any falsehood, let me be killed by swords and have no place to bury my body!"

He dared not take such a big thing lightly.

Cheng Yu twisted his beard and said, "Even if what General Xu saw is true, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang deliberately acted for the lord."

"Now that the two armies are facing each other, one careless move will lead to a complete loss. We must be on guard."

He was skeptical about this.

What Xun Yu and Cheng Yu said made sense, and what they said was exactly what Cao Cao thought.

"Gongda, what do you think?"

Cao Cao finally looked at Xun You, who did not express his opinion.

Xun You pondered for a long time before saying, "This is a matter of great importance, and I can't make a decision for the time being... Sikong might as well ask Zhou Yu how he plans to surrender."

"If he leads his people to surrender, we can be prepared for battle and let the army be on high alert. Once they make any unusual movements, we will shoot them with arrows."

More than 8,000 soldiers and many food and grass ships, this is not a small number. If they can really accept them, it will greatly improve their strength.

Of course, the premise is that the other party surrenders sincerely.

After thinking again and again, Cao Cao felt that Xun You's judgment made sense, and he was unwilling to return empty-handed.

So he discussed the details with the three of them again, and Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Lu Su again.

After Lu Su walked into the tent, he saw three unfamiliar faces dressed as scholars in the tent, and Cao Cao must have discussed it with his advisers just now.

Now is the time to finally decide whether to believe him or not.

However, his expression did not change much, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What else does Cao Gong need? I have not slept all night and I am quite tired."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Cao Cao smiled, stepped forward and took Lu Su's hand and said: "But the big thing has not been completed yet, and I still need you to work harder."

"I already know the sincerity of you and General Zhou. Please go back to the enemy camp and make an agreement with General Zhou to report the news across the river in advance when the incident occurs. I will send someone to pick you up then!"

Lu Su was embarrassed when he heard this and hesitated, "But Lord Cao, I have already left the enemy camp and it is not easy to go back... Lord Cao might as well send another confidential person."

Cao Cao had been observing Lu Su's expression.

Seeing that he did not agree happily after hearing that he could return, his doubts were relieved a little, and he said, "It is still two hours before dawn. You can come in the dark and return in the dark, and no one will notice it."

"Besides, such confidential matters will be easily leaked if someone else is replaced, not to mention that there is no other candidate at the moment."

"So I'd better trouble you to make the trip."

No matter from which aspect, Lu Su is the best contact person and more suitable than anyone else.

Lu Su thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth, saying: "In this case, for Cao Gong's great cause, I will take the risk again!"

"It's getting late, I can't stay for a moment, I have to return immediately, so that Zhuge Liang won't notice it."

Cao Cao couldn't help but admire: "Sir, you act decisively, I really regret meeting you too late!"

"Come here!"

As Cao Cao finished speaking, a guard walked into the tent with a tray, and saw that the tray was full of golden cakes.

Cao Cao said: "It's just a small gift, not worth mentioning, please accept it."

"I will thank you tenfold after the success!"

Lu Su took a look at the gold, but there was no one to help him. Instead, he smiled and said: "I have already appreciated Cao Gong's kindness, but as the saying goes, no merit, no reward, it's not too late to accept the reward when I and Gongjin return."

"That's it, goodbye!"

After speaking, Lu Su bowed, turned around and strode out of the tent.

Cao Cao hurriedly followed him out of the tent.

After watching Lu Su disappear into the night, he sighed: "Such a talented person is rare."

"As long as Zhou Yu leads his people to surrender, the strength of the puppet army and mine will increase and decrease, and we will know their weaknesses more deeply, and we will be able to defeat them by then!"

Originally, he planned to withdraw his troops in a few days.

But Lu Su's arrival brought him hope again, and rekindled his hope of defeating the enemy.

Cheng Yu, who was standing aside, was still worried and said: "My lord, you must not be careless and underestimate the enemy. It is better to be cautious."

Cao Cao retracted his gaze and nodded: "Of course I know, let's wait for Zhou Yu to surrender. How can a mere 8,000 people be my enemy? The advantage is mine!"

"If there is any unusual movement, shoot with arrows!"
