Chapter 145
Cao Cao's letter was sent secretly, and it was delivered to Cao Ang through a secret line.
In ancient times, there was no monitoring. In Jiangdong, Sun Quan could not limit the scope of Cao Ang's activities. You are not under house arrest when you come here, so as long as you go out, you can deliver the letter.
When Cao Ang opened Cao Cao's superstition, he was dumbfounded.
"Do it cheaply, what do you mean?"
The content of the letter is very short, and Cao Cao's attitude is also very vague, that is, he is given full authority to talk to Sun Quan.
Usually this kind of appointment can't be very simple, isn't this a joke, you let me negotiate, where is the bottom line, what can I use as a bargaining chip, how many conditions can I agree to, this is nothing!
For such a big matter, can Cao Ang be the master?
He wanted to tell Sun Quan: "Uncle, we won't fight anymore, let's go back!"
Can Cao Cao agree?
There was no Jia Xu around, and it was inconvenient to discuss such core secrets with Zhuge Liang. Cao Ang didn't know what to do for a while.
After thinking about it, Huang Zhong was the only one around.
As the saying goes, an old family is like a treasure, and Huang Zhong can be considered as an educated man. Even if he doesn't have the brains of those famous people, he can live a few more years, and eating a few more years of rice will also give him more life experience.
So he ordered people to call Huang Zhong to him.
"Young master, are you calling me?"
"Han Sheng, General Huang, there is something I want to ask you."
"Why are you so polite, son, just ask if you have anything to do."
"Conquering Jiangdong, if you come to command the army, what should you do?"
Huang Zhong's face was serious, and his eyes were a little surprised. He didn't know why Cao Ang asked that.
Anyway, he lived a few years longer than others, and he still has some life experience. He realized that the situation was not simple.
"My lord, you can't talk nonsense, if someone is talking nonsense..."
"Don't worry, it's my father who gave me full authority to negotiate with Jiangdong."
It turned out to be the case, but Huang Zhong was shocked again. Would Cao Cao let Cao Ang come to talk about such a big matter? How much trust would that be!
Cao Ang's level is not enough, this is the size of a million-strong army, and the negotiating object is Sun Quan, who is Marquis Wu, and Cao Cao is the one who wants to talk. Although Sun Quan is of the same generation, he inherited the Marquis.
"Prime Minister, do you really say that?"
"Don't worry, Han Sheng, I will take care of everything, don't be afraid."
"Young Master, don't worry, the old man won't be afraid, this life belongs to you, and there is no family encumbrance!"
Huang Zhong didn't care about life or death at all, as long as Cao Ang wanted him to say it, he dared to say it.
Because his son is also dead, as an old man, he only has a few years left in his life, so he just needs to gain some fame.
"Then tell me, where is our bottom line?"
"My son, since the army of millions has come, it doesn't mean that you can retreat. The soldiers will follow for their merits. When they withdraw, they must be rewarded. Soochow must not leave."
Cao Ang understands the compensation for defeat.
The army came here to make meritorious service, but as a result of the peace talks, it can't be a waste of time.
The title is easy to say, Cao Cao can give it whatever he wants, and the emperor can't object, but the reward of property cannot be changed out of thin air. If Jiangdong doesn't come out with this item, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw his troops.
"That's easy to talk about. I'll ask Sun Quan for it. Is there any more?"
"Of course, there is an explanation to the soldiers, and there is an explanation to the people of the world."
"Han Sheng, you really know a lot."
"My son is too famous, this old man is just an old soldier, so he said something that should be taken for granted."
That's right, it's an explanation to all parties, why did you fight, and how should you explain to the people of the world?
You are fighting a battle of justice, so Soochow has to admit it, he admits that you Cao Cao is famous as a teacher, then he will have an explanation to the world, and then Jiang Dong admits that you win, everyone is happy...
The question is whether Sun Quan will admit it, can't he admit that Cao Cao was justified in beating him?
It is absolutely impossible for Sun Quan to admit his mistakes seriously. He would rather continue beating than admitting to death.
Cao Ang began to think, and Huang Zhong knew what Cao Ang was thinking, so he hesitated.
"Young master, it is impossible for Marquis Wu to recognize him. Even if the two parties get married, there is absolutely no reason to withdraw troops."
"I know that when my father went to war, he used righteousness. To let Sun Quan admit it would be to break his foundation."
"Indeed, if Wu Hou admits it, he won't be able to sit still in this Jiangdong land!"
"Hmm... what did you say?"
He had no idea at first, but after being reminded by Huang Zhong, a light flashed in Cao Ang's mind.
Huang Zhong didn't know what he thought of, but he must have a countermeasure, so he didn't speak, and waited aside.
Cao Ang thought about it back and forth, and immediately asked, "Can you still find the person who sent the letter?"
"That's fine, he's waiting for us to come back."
"Okay, I'll write something and ask him to hand it back, you wait."
So Cao Ang brought a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and handed it to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong carefully wrapped it up, then sealed it with wax, and walked out with a serious expression.
In fact, there is no need to be so careful. The content of this communication can even be leaked out, and it doesn't matter if Sun Quan knows it.
"Come on!"
Cao Ang yelled again, and a maid appeared immediately: "My lord."
"Go, make an appointment with Marquis Wu, I want to meet him in Beigu Tower."
"As ordered!"
These maids were also sent by Sun Shangxiang. Her loyal subordinates are actually quite capable of fighting.
But when it comes to Cao Ang's place, they can play the role of ordinary maids even if they are up to the sky, and they won't be allowed to go to war.
……
Cao Ang's letter will also reach Cao Cao within two days, and the troops who pass the news are all very elite.
But Cao Ang's first thing to do is to communicate with Sun Quan, and the two must at least reach a consensus in private.
So on the same day, Cao Ang went to Beigu Building, and Sun Quan had been waiting here for a long time.
"Why does Zixiu want to see me?"
"Wu Hou, you have been worrying a lot these days, because of my affairs..."
"Where, you are my Jiangdong's son-in-law, this is a happy event, why worry?"
"Wu Hou doesn't admit it."
When Cao Ang came here, he planned to have a showdown, regardless of whether Sun Quan admitted it or not, "There are only you and me here, so let me just say something straight. Your subordinates will definitely ask you for advice day and night, and hurry up after getting rid of me, right?" ?”
"Zixiu! I, Sun Zhongmou, am I that kind of person? You can't talk nonsense. How will the world think of me?"
Sun Quan was still angry while talking, he really should be angry, and it would be miserable for him to spread the word.
But Cao Ang said without changing his face: "Your subordinates must have said that you can't attack me openly, you must use others' hands."
"This……"
"In the land of Jiangdong, it must be the people of Shanyue. Some of them still have conflicts with you. It seems logical to come here and commit a murder. And when the time comes, I, the eldest son of the prime minister, will die at their hands. You go to fight for me. revenge."
The atmosphere froze, because what Cao Ang said was right, Zhou Yu and the others designed it like this.
The problem is, Cao Ang actually said it face to face!
