Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 224
Seeing Yuan Shao's actions, Xu You was even more shocked. He never expected Yuan Shao to be so bold, and immediately said: "My lord, Cao Cao is treacherous by nature, we don't need to pay attention."

"What's more, our military strength is far superior to that of Cao's army by several times. My lord should immediately order the three armies to cover up and kill Cao Cao and capture Cao Cao alive."

Yuan Shao didn't care about Xu You's words. He rejected Xu You's suggestion on the spot, saying: "Today's battle will definitely be recorded in the history and passed on to future generations."

"Our army is even more powerful now, and the chances of victory are in our hands." I can take Cao Cao's head in an upright manner, so why choose a sneak attack? "

"Won't I be the same as that villain sitting in the battlefield if I sneak attack?"

"Pass down the order, let the three armies stand by, and the bow and crossbow will not be fired. I want to hear it and see what bold words Cao Cao can say before he dies!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu You was still full of worry, "My lord, don't be careless!"

"Don't worry, just watch how I tease him!"

Yuan Shao got off his horse and walked slowly to the front of the battle formation between the two armies. Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao approaching step by step, put away his lazy appearance, got up quickly, and waited for Yuan Shao's arrival.

When Yuan Shao entered the curtain, Cao Cao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Benchu, don't come here without any problems!"

Yuan Shao put on a look of indifference, and said: "Thank you Meng De for your concern, I am getting better every day, and every year is better than a year." The voice was full of sarcasm.

Cao Cao pretended not to hear, and continued to ask him to sit down with a smile. Yuan Shao put on a bad face, and continued to sneer: "Aren't you the prime minister of the court? Why are you still asking me to sit down?"

Cao Cao said with a treacherous smile: "Everyone in the world says that I am called Han Prime Minister, but I am actually a Han thief. Brother Benchu ​​is older than me, so he is naturally an elder, so I should let you know."

"Thank you very much." Yuan Shao sat down on the stool leisurely without even looking at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took out the jug and poured tea for Yuan Shao respectfully, but this time, Yuan Shao's eyes were fixed on Cao Cao, for fear that he would play some shady tricks.

After pouring the wine, Cao Cao also continued, and said earnestly: "Brother Benchu, the friendship between the two of us is a long story."

"I think back then, you and I were very close. When I was young, my brother took me to play all over Luoyang City."

"Hunting with eagles during the day and having fun at night, that day, thinking about it now, is really happy!"

"Sometimes I'm thinking, you say this person, if he can never grow up, how wonderful it would be!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao put on a noble posture and replied: "Meng De has the nerve to bring up those ugly things."

"Hey, you and I are so old now, how can we forget our roots? Just because you and I are now important officials of the court and pillars of the country, we can't ignore all the scandals that happened in the past."

"There is a saying in the predecessors, people are not sages, and there is no fault!"

Yuan Shao was full of impatience, and said angrily, "Meng De, I didn't listen to you to reminisce about the old days. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. The soldiers of the three armies behind me have long been impatient!"

"Hahaha," Cao Cao laughed loudly, "How should I put it, Brother Benchu ​​raised an army of 70 to attack me this time, it is really wise and well done!"

Yuan Shao sneered on the spot after hearing this, "Meng De, now I know I'm afraid, I knew it earlier, why bother, but I still want to hear what you, a dying person, can say!"

Cao Cao said: "If this battle is postponed for five years, you will lose and I will win! But now, I am far from your opponent."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, "I have expected this matter a long time ago, why? Do you think I will give you these five years? How could I wait for you for five years!"

"Meng De, since you know the outcome in your heart, you might as well just surrender to me, lest all the soldiers behind you follow you to die!"

"But you know my temperament. In this battle, I would rather die than surrender." Cao Cao was a bit embarrassed. Hearing his words, Yuan Shao was furious on the spot, stood up and was about to leave. "In that case, why are you still talking nonsense with me here, let's go to war!"

Cao Cao waved his hand to stop him, and continued: "Brother Benchu, listen to me. Although I don't want to surrender, I am willing to make peace with you."

"Please make peace?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, his face full of doubts.

Cao Cao explained: "Or begging for peace, begging for peace, whatever you say, as long as you are happy, you can say whatever you want."

When Yuan Shao heard what he said, most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he looked at him even more jokingly. In his heart, Cao Cao in front of him was just a clown, nothing to be afraid of.

"Cao Aman, Cao Aman, do you think you can trick me into withdrawing the army with just that three-inch meaty tongue in your mouth?"

"Don't dare, dare not, dare not lie to you," Cao Cao quickly waved his hands, "This is peace."

"Let's put it this way, Brother Benchu, if you choose to withdraw your troops and leave at this moment, I am willing to give up the six counties of Xuzhou and hand them all over to Your Excellency."

"As for myself, I only keep Yanzhou, and I can still swear here that I will never compete with Brother Benchu ​​for the world."

After hearing the chips given by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao stroked the beard on his chin, still with a playful smile on his face, and asked tentatively, "Is this true?"

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Of course, in order to show my sincerity, I specially brought something for peace this time. Brother Benchu, please take a look."

Yuan Shao stood up and found Liu Xie's figure in the army that could not be seen at a glance. He frowned and said, "The thing you said to ask for peace is actually the Son of Heaven."

Cao Cao asked abruptly, "Isn't he worthy? Isn't he what Brother Benchu ​​yearns for?"

"Brother Ben Chu, if you retreat now, you can take away the emperor immediately. In this case, the court will appear in Jizhou, and you, Yuan Shao, General Yuan, will be the one who will hold the emperor to command the princes."

Cao Cao's words finally attracted Yuan Shao's attention. He let out a long breath and thought about how to deal with this matter.

Cao Cao saw that this matter was interesting, and continued to strike while the iron was hot, saying: "The emperor is a hot potato in my hands, because now you are stronger than me, you will attack me, but if the emperor is in your hands, the princes of the world will never dare to attack me." to attack you."

"To put it bluntly, is there any difference between the imperial court being in Jizhou and Brother Benchu ​​being the emperor yourself? If you do this, you will also be exempted from the name of usurping."

"Of course, if you don't want to be emperor now, you can choose to abolish the emperor and stand on your own at any time in the future."

"What do you think of this deal?"
