Cao Cao immediately asked Xu Du to bring food and grass. After all, their food and grass were in short supply and the soldiers were starving.
At the same time, 400,000 gold were also shipped. In order to raise this amount of money, Cheng Yu in Xudu almost ransacked Cao Cao's warehouse and even sold and pawned many treasures to collect this amount. money.
It is said that when Cao Cao received the gold, he almost cried in public, and Cao Cao suddenly became a pauper.
This battle with Liu Zhe caused Cao Cao's warehouse to almost starve to death of rats. The wealth that Cao Cao had accumulated in the past was quickly consumed in this battle.
Of course, Cao Cao hasn't had time to feel sad yet. Xu Du's grain, grass and gold are still on the way. What he has to do now is to face Liu Zhe, persuade Liu Zhe to withdraw his troops, and persuade Liu Zhe to return Yanjin to him.
As soon as three days passed, Cao Cao led his men out of the camp, and Liu Zhe on the opposite side did the same, leading his army out.
The armies of both sides stopped five miles away with a tacit understanding, facing each other from a distance. Then Cao Cao and Liu Zhe each came to meet with their own guards.
The guards on both sides stayed thirty meters away. In the middle, someone had already prepared everything, including desks, mats, and curtains above their heads to block the sun.
There are fine wines and delicious food on the desk.
"Lieutenant, please!"
After Cao Cao and Liu Zhe arrived here, Cao Cao took the lead in making an invitation gesture to Liu Zhe and asked Liu Zhe to sit down.
"Mengde, please!"
Liu Zhe smiled and made the same gesture.
Then the two sides sat down on the mat together. Cao Cao sat down on his knees. Later Liu Zhe was not used to kneeling down, so he simply sat down cross-legged.
"Lieutenant, please!"
Cao Cao personally poured wine for Liu Zhe, which was very polite.
"This wine isn't poisonous, is it?"
Liu Zhe looked at the wine in the bottle and asked Cao Cao with a smile.
Cao Cao¡¯s people are responsible for everything here. The fine wine and food are provided by Cao Cao. Liu Zhe¡¯s people are just here to monitor.
"The lieutenant is joking, how could I do such a thing?"
Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "I come here with full sincerity."
In fact, it¡¯s not that Cao Cao never had such an idea, but it was too difficult to operate, so he just thought about it.
"But I understand that Meng De will not do this. If I am really poisoned to death, my people will kill Xu Du at all costs to avenge me." Liu Zhe said calmly.
Liu Zhe's tone was full of threats, which frightened Cao Cao.
Watching Liu Zhe pick up the wine bottle and drink, Cao Cao suddenly had this thought in his mind, damn, his men wouldn't poison the wine and help Gu poison Liu Zhe to death, right?
Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, couldn't help but have such thoughts. Then he watched Liu Zhe drinking very nervously. He was afraid that if Liu Zhe was really poisoned to death, then he himself would be miserable.
Fortunately, Liu Zhe did not show any abnormality after drinking, which made Cao Cao feel relieved, but at the same time a little disappointed.
"please!"
Cao Cao continued to pour wine for Liu Zhe. After the two drank a few glasses, Cao Cao began to get down to business.
"Taiwei, I was deceived by the people below some time ago, so I gave the corpse of a death row prisoner to Taiwei as Sun Cheng, which made Taiwei misunderstand me." Cao Cao's attitude was very low as soon as he opened his mouth.
"If Cao Cao's men were here, they would be shocked. How could their lord be so humble?
"Understood, understood."
Liu Zhe nodded, and then taught Cao Cao in a tone of relying on his elders: "Meng De, I am not telling you that you are not a good prime minister? You should be more careful in the future."
Depend on. Cao Cao cursed in his heart.
"In that case, I wonder if the Taiwei can withdraw his troops, stop the war, and bring peace to the people of Yanzhou," Cao Cao said.
"sure."
Liu Zhe said: "I am not the kind of unreasonable person. Since Meng De you have handed over Sun Cheng's traitors to me, if I don't retreat, it will appear that I am arrogant and unreasonable."
Damn it, when have you ever been reasonable? Cao Cao mentally scolded Liu Zhe for showing off.
If you were being reasonable, would you come to your doorstep with soldiers like this?
"I wonder when the captain will return?" Cao Cao asked tentatively.
"It depends on you, Meng De." Liu Zhe glanced at Cao Cao, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Cao Cao was stunned at first, but he soon realized that Liu Zhe was waiting for something he agreed to. Liu Zhe would not retreat until he got the things.
Greedy guy.
Cao Cao cursed in his heart. When he thought of giving Liu Zhe 400,000 taels of gold, Cao Cao's heart was bleeding. It was too much. Four hundred thousand taels of gold is something that many people will never earn in their lifetime.
However, being able to use 400,000 taels of gold in exchange for Liu Zhe's withdrawal and the redemption of the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan is still worth it, and it is much lower than the conditions Liu Zhe proposed before. Even though Cao Cao was heartbroken, he knew that this was the best. conditions.
Therefore, Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, Taiwei, the 400,000 taels of gold are already on the way, and they will be delivered to the Taiwei in less than five days."
