Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

"Hahaha, in that case, Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, you said you are not stupid, why have you gotten to this point? To be honest, I feel that Liu Bei and Sun Jian are not as good as you. If..."

"Cao Cao, if you are still so insincere, then today's negotiation can end here."

Liu Zhang interrupted Cao Cao impatiently and looked at Cao Cao with disdain. He didn't know if Cao Cao usually over-pretended. Until now, Cao Cao still hasn't shown any real sincerity, just using some words. A blank check to deal with Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was not stupid, so he would not be moved by such a few words without any substance, so after seeing that Cao Cao was still unwilling to make any promises, Liu Zhang also lost his original patience.

After being interrupted by Liu Zhang again, Cao Cao's smile completely disappeared and was replaced by a look of anger.

"Well, if you want sincerity, I will tell you my greatest sincerity. If you are willing to surrender to me, then after I unify the Han Dynasty, not only can I make you king and make you the emperor of the land, but also Promise you won’t die, this is my greatest sincerity.”

As soon as these words came out, the two fell into a long silence. What Cao Cao said was the most basic, but also the most sincere. For Liu Zhang, it was also the most important.

"What guarantee do you have?"

"Guarantee? No guarantee is needed. I, Cao Cao, am the biggest guarantee. Keeping you alive has only advantages and no disadvantages for me. Think about it, if I want to unify the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Shi Xie will They are all bound to die, so we should be the only players in the entire Han Dynasty. If I kill you then, how lonely will I be? "

Cao Cao's words made Liu Zhang fall into silence. No matter what guarantee Cao Cao made, it was meaningless to him, because even if Cao Cao killed him, there would be nothing he could do. On the contrary, Cao Cao's words , making Liu Zhang feel that any guarantee he made was more useful than Cao Cao.

"Okay, then this is the sincerity between the two of us. Next, we can talk about the specific details of cooperation."

Liu Zhang smiled softly, and the concession between the two allowed them to reach the first step of cooperation. Liu Zhang once again filled their glasses with hot wine, and at the same time gently weighed the contents of the jug, and then continued said.

"This jug can hold a total of ten glasses of wine. Now we have drank four glasses and poured two more glasses. That is to say, there are four glasses left in it. Next, let's drink one glass of wine. Say your own conditions, and if you can negotiate it after three glasses of wine, you can negotiate it. If you can't negotiate it, you'll have to go to war. "

"Hahaha, okay, I like it."

Cao Cao raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it first.

"Except for the sincerity of our negotiations, that is, except for the Yizhou Tiger Talisman and the conditions I promised you to protect your life, everything else is invalid. Then my first condition is that you recognize me as your master. You can Don’t let those under your command know, but you must recognize me as your Lord.”

Cao Cao placed the wine glass on the table and continued.

"This request is not because I want to overwhelm you, but because my characteristic bonus and the characteristic bonus of my generals are much higher than you and your subordinates, so I am doing it to give you an advantage. The state army can better fight against Liu Bei's men, so this request was made."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao spread his hands to indicate that he had finished speaking. Liu Zhang did not express any reaction to Cao Cao's request. He just picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp like Cao Cao.

"My first condition is that Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Wuling County, Guiyang County, Xiaoling County, Changsha County in the south of Jingzhou, as well as Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County in Yangzhou will be assigned to me. Jingzhou will be owned by me. The four counties and the two counties of Yangzhou are not rich places. Although there is some gold, silver and food, they account for less than one-third of the two states, but the area is larger. "

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after they each showed their sincerity, their negotiations went smoothly.

After Liu Zhang filled the wine glass again, Cao Cao still raised his glass first.

"Then the second condition is that you must completely obey my commands and orders, and all the officers and soldiers under your command must be at my disposal."

"I haven't thought about the other conditions yet. You can talk about your third condition first."

After Liu Zhang finished his drink, he poured the wine and said that he had only two purposes today, one was to ensure his own safety, and the other was to allow himself to continue to be the overlord of the land after Cao Cao unified the Han Dynasty. To continue living, he has not yet thought of other conditions. The condition of a glass of wine was just a condition he casually mentioned.

Cao Cao just smiled at this and didn't say anything else. He was happy that Liu Zhang would accept this condition.

"Well, my third condition is that after unifying the Han Dynasty, you can sit on the fiefdom, but you can't have troops to support yourself. One thousand soldiers in one county, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, plus the six counties of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, There are a total of twenty-three counties, which means you can only have a total of twenty-three thousand soldiers."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao drank the glass of wine and looked at Liu Zhang with a smile. Liu Zhang drank the wine with Cao Cao. At this point, all ten glasses of wine in the wine pot had been consumed, and the two of them were still facing each other. sit.

"I can agree to all three conditions."

"Oh? Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

When Cao Cao wanted to raise his wine glass again, he found that there was no wine left. Liu Zhang shook the wine pot, but there was no sound of liquid shaking.

The two smiled at each other again, and Cao Cao stood up and left Liu Zhang's tent.

A meeting that could change the current world situation took place in this tent. It took less than half an hour to end. After seeing Cao Cao off, Liu Zhang continued to sit alone in the tent, stroking the wine glass in his hand, frowning, and wondering what he was thinking.

"Oh my god, these two are just discussing this? They really don't take Liu Caoxie seriously. Liu Caoxie has the legendary general Guan Erye under his command. These two are not afraid of being offended by their boasting."

"Cao Zhonger is so confident that he must have a trump card to deal with Guan Erye. If he couldn't deal with Guan Erye, Cao Zhonger wouldn't dare to boast like this."

"Did Dian Wei also become a legendary general when he was in the Xiongnu? Think about it, when Dian Wei was in the Xiongnu, Cao Zhonger's many At that time, there were three layers of soldiers on guard inside and outside, obviously because they were afraid that Guan Erye would come to Xu Du directly and take his life. But after Dian Wei came back, Cao Zhonger immediately withdrew all his defenses in Xu Du. It can be seen that Dian Wei must have been promoted to a legendary general in the Xiongnu. Cao Zhonger thought that Dian Wei could deal with Guan Erye, so he did this. In addition, Cao Zhonger is now working with Liu Zhang, so it should not be a problem to deal with Liu Caoxie. "

"Promoted in the Xiongnu, could it be, Do you need to kill other generals to get promoted? "

"If these two people join forces, I'm afraid the world war will begin. This time, I'm afraid it will have to be fought until only one side is left. "

"Hey, the one upstairs said that you can only upgrade by killing generals. I suddenly remembered something. Sun Menghu asked Sun Ce to lead his army into Bingzhou two days ago. Now he has captured Shi Xie. Many generals under Shi Xie were killed by Sun Ce. Only Shi Xie, the commander without troops, is left. He is now negotiating with Sun Menghu. So it seems that Sun Menghu also asked Sun Ce to kill generals to upgrade. "

"Oh my god, if that's the case, then this legendary general is equivalent to the current nuclear weapons. You can not use them, but you can't do without them. Strategic deterrence. "

"I feel that what you said makes sense. Aren't we watching the same live broadcast? Why can't I see anything? "

In the live broadcast room, in Liu Zhang's tent, the lights were on all night.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao brought Dian Wei and Cao Zhang to Liu Zhang's tent. The tent was still arranged exactly as it was last night. What was different from when Cao Cao left last night was that the wine pot that was originally empty was now filled up by Liu Zhang, and Zhang Ren and Liu Xun were sitting next to Liu Zhang.

Judging from Liu Zhang's appearance, he should have not slept all night. There were heavy dark bags under his eyelids and thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Ji Yu, what's wrong with you? You don't look like you have had a good rest?"

"Thank you, Brother Meng De, for your concern. It's okay. I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't rest."

Liu Zhang waved his hand. The two of them were still getting along the same way as yesterday, as if the negotiation last night did not exist. Cao Cao sat opposite Liu Zhang and waved his hand, motioning Dian Wei and Cao Zhang to sit down as well.

In Liu Zhang's tent, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao sat opposite each other, Dian Wei and Zhang Ren, Cao Zhang and Liu Xun were side by side, Zhang Ren and Liu Xun were opposite each other, and Dian Wei and Cao Cao were opposite each other.

"Brother Mengde, the next task of attacking Meng Huo still has to be handed over to you."

"Ji Yu, you are being polite. We are allies. It is my duty to help my allies. Don't worry about it."

"Then the Yizhou Army will be handed over to you to lead."

Liu Zhang said, and took out the tiger talisman that he had placed on the table last night but did not take away, and handed it to Cao Cao. The four people beside him, including Dian Wei and Cao Zhang, were shocked. They couldn't understand why Liu Zhang's attitude today was so different from Liu Zhang's yesterday, and he actually took the initiative to hand over the Yizhou Army's tiger talisman to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled slightly and took the tiger talisman in his hand.

"Ji Yu, believe me, I will never let you down."

Liu Zhang nodded slightly and said nothing. Cao Cao glanced around at Zhang Ren and Liu Xun, and then spoke.

"For this battle, there is no need for the Yizhou army to go out. Only two of my generals and 5,000 soldiers can capture Meng Huo and capture Yongchang County."

After this, not only Zhang Ren and Liu Xun looked at Cao Cao in shock, but even Liu Zhang was shocked. He knew that Cao Cao's characteristic bonus was much higher than his, but he did not expect that there was such a gap between the two. Meng Huo, who he could not handle with his army of more than 100,000, could be solved by Cao Cao with only two generals and 5,000 soldiers.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Prime Minister."

Liu Zhang also changed his address to Cao Cao, no longer calling him Brother Meng De, but Prime Minister.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Cao Cao stood up and nodded, and Cao Zhang and Dian Wei beside him also stood up. The six of them walked out of the tent together. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Grave Hunter and the Fa Qiu Zhonglang General had been waiting for Cao Cao's order outside the camp.

"Ji Yu, Gongyi, you can go to watch the battle together."

After Cao Cao got on his horse, he suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him. His purpose was self-evident. Liu Zhang nodded slightly. He really wanted to see what strength Cao Cao's elite troops were. After all, their previous battles with Liu Bei ended in failure. If Cao Cao's troops were still as strong as before, Liu Zhang actually had another choice, which was to join Liu Bei.

The reason for cooperating with Cao Cao before was just because Liu Bei killed too many players. Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and other famous players were all eliminated by Liu Bei, so he did not cooperate with Liu Bei. But now it seems that Liu Bei is more suitable for an alliance, rather than Cao Cao, whom he chose to ally with before.

In fact, before the meeting with Cao Cao last night, Liu Zhang had written a letter to Qingzhou. Once the talks with Cao Cao failed, he would immediately send someone to send this letter and form an alliance with Liu Bei to deal with Cao Cao together.

Last night's meeting went smoothly beyond Liu Zhang's expectation, so the letter is still in Liu Zhang's sleeve and has not been sent out. If Cao Cao's elite troops show extraordinary strength next, then Liu Zhang will sincerely form an alliance with Cao Cao and join hands with Cao Cao to dominate the world.

Cao Zhang put on his armor and led his 5,000 soldiers and horses to embark on the journey to conquer Meng Huo.

At this moment, Meng Huo was leading his army to station in a military town on the border of Yongchang County. The mountains near the military town were an excellent place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was the first line where Meng Huo led the barbarians to resist the Yizhou army. Before this, the Yizhou army led by Liu Zhang had never broken through this border military town and was blocked here every time.

This time was the same. They were blocked here, so they were deadlocked and the war continued.

Soon, they passed through the narrow valley and arrived at the military town. Along the way, Cao Cao immediately saw why Liu Zhang had been unable to capture the city for a long time. The fighting power was one reason, but the more important reason was that the terrain here was too rugged and it was impossible for the army to march straight in.

Even these five thousand soldiers had great difficulty passing through the mountains, not to mention Liu Zhang leading tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops to attack here. They could not even reach the military town, let alone attack.

This kind of narrow mountain is most suitable for ambushes. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops entered together, and the front and back teams were too long, which was the most feared ambush.
