Sima Yi returned to Chenliu and reported to Cao Cao.
"Did Marquis Dongyang agree?" Cao Cao asked, feeling very anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it.
"The Marquis of Dongyang put forward two conditions" Sima Yi replied in a precise manner.
After hearing this, Cao Cao fell silent. His intelligence is beyond ordinary people, how could he not hear the implication of Liu Ke's words.
This is to sell Yuan Shao!
Cao Cao covered his temples, as if he was suffering from gout again.
"Prime Minister! Send the imperial doctor!" Sima Yi shouted.
"No need, it's just labor pains." Cao Cao waved his hands.
Hearing these words, Sima Yi already knew the answer, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, this is a last resort."
"I know." Cao Cao said helplessly, he didn't want to become a victim.
Why should you protect Sun Ce and Yuan Shao from the wind and rain?
Cao Cao believed that he had done his best.
Since we have to choose a victim, why can't it be Yuan Shao?
Thinking about it this way, Cao Cao felt much better.
"Let's talk about the tribute again," Cao Cao said.
Thirty million gold a year is too much. Cao Cao cannot exploit the people because of this. What will be damaged is his own reputation.
What he wants is to work hard, not linger.
"My subordinates will do their best," Sima Yi said.
The next day, Sima Yi went to the Yangzhou military camp as an envoy again, and Liu Ke warmly received him.
Unlike the last time, Liu Ke specially hosted a banquet this time.
"Dongyang Hou, my lord has agreed to the second condition." Sima Yi said.
¡°As expected, a hero is a hero, and he will not show any mercy at the expense of the interests of others.
Sima Yi expressed it in this way, which was to discuss with Liu Ke in a subtle way. The first condition is whether the negotiation can continue.
This is a simple test.
Seeing that Liu Ke did not resist strongly, Sima Yi continued: "My lord hopes to reduce the tribute to five million gold."
"So few? Aren't Cao Cao afraid that I will regret it?" Liu Kedao said.
Sima Yi didn¡¯t know what to say. What if the Marquis of Dongyang killed Yuan Shao and then regretted it?
The guarantee of five million gold is still too little.
"Of course we can trust Dongyang Hou's words." Sima Yi complimented, "How about ten million gold? The initial payment has been reduced from fifty million gold to thirty million gold."
¡°If you don¡¯t do business, you¡¯re really showing off your talents.¡± Liu Xiaoxiao said.
Sima Yi smiled back.
"Okay, I agree to this condition." Liu Kedao.
"Thank you, Marquis Dongyang!" Sima Yi said.
"There's one more thing." Liu Kedao, "Let Ma Teng go."
Sima Yi was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said, "It's a trivial matter."
In this way, Liu Ke felt relieved. After all, he had an agreement with Ma Chao. Now that he had signed an armistice agreement with Cao Cao, he could not ignore Ma Chao's situation.
And Ma Chao¡¯s purpose is very simple, which is to rescue his father.
Three days later, Cao Cao and Liu Ke met in Chenliu and signed a secret agreement.
The two of them were speechless the whole time.
After the signing was completed, Cao Cao sighed: "Marquis Dongyang, you win this time."
"I will win next time." Liu Kedao.
"Marquis of Dongyang, how about we take His Majesty to Yangzhou? I'm already tired." Cao Cao said.
Is it sincere or fake?
You can¡¯t tell from Cao Cao¡¯s expression.
The existence of Emperor Xian is indispensable for Cao Cao's achievements today.
Now he actually wants to give up Emperor Xian. This is not an easy matter.
"Mengde doesn't need to test it," Liu Kedao said.
"No, I have been defeated so many times and I don't want to lose again." Cao Cao said.
Liu Ke ignored it.
Cao Cao sighed.
After returning to Chenliu, Cao Cao immediately announced that Yuan Shao had betrayed the allies and fled back to Jizhou. Cao Cao's army severed relations with Yuan Shao's army.
The reason why Cao Cao was so decisive was because the situation was not optimistic.
"Mengde behaves very strangely," Liu Kedao said.
"Master, please don't take it lightly. I'm afraid Cao Mengde is deceiving you." Zhuge Liang said.
? ?To show weakness to the enemy? "Liu Kedao.
"I'm afraid that's the case. Cao Cao's character has always been firm and he cannot give in easily. Next, he needs to lurk and let the lord ignore his existence." Zhuge Liang said.
Liu laughed, no matter what, Yangzhou will not stop its development.
As long as you strengthen yourself, no matter what the enemy does, you can deal with it calmly.
"Let Zhang Liao come back." Liu Ke said, since Cao Cao has fulfilled his promise, Liu Ke will certainly not regret it.
After receiving the order, Zhang Liao stopped his attack on Luoyang and began to withdraw his troops.
Soon after, Liu Ke also left Chenliu, and the army retreated to Xuzhou.
And Dian Wei also withdrew from Taishan County.
A series of operations shocked the world.
Liu Ke actually had a truce with Cao Cao!
The war has been less than half a year, and both sides have suffered injuries.
The reason Liu Ke launched the war was to weaken the princes and strangle the enemy in the cradle.
At the beginning of the war, Cao Cao won Bingzhou and Yuan Shao won Youzhou, and it began to expand.
If Liu Ke doesn¡¯t beat them, will he let them come to his door again?
Now, the strategic goal has been achieved.
Cao Cao¡¯s army was severely weakened, and Yuan Shao lost Youzhou.
However, the territories of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao totaled five states, and Liu Ke was not sure of taking them all.
Therefore, differentiation is necessary.
Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Ke chose to attack Yuan Shao.
After the news of Cao Cao's severing of diplomatic relations with Yuan Shao reached Hebei, Yuan Shao was shocked and then furious.
He went through all kinds of hardships to support Cao Cao, and he had just crossed the Yellow River and returned to Jizhou.
As a result, Cao Cao turned around and sold him!
Only those who have experienced this kind of frustration know.
Yuan Shao vomited out a mouthful of old blood and fainted. When Youyou woke up, he was surrounded by people.
"My lord, you are the pillar of Hebei, you cannot fall!" Tian Feng said sincerely.
However, Yuan Shao cannot control whether he faints or not.
"Tell me, how do I treat Meng De?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Sincere love."
"They are true brothers!"
Everyone spoke out what was on their mind.
"Then why did he do this to me!" Yuan Shao roared.
"Cao Mengde is ungrateful and untrustworthy." Tian Feng said.
"I hate it, I should have seen him clearly a long time ago, and Youzhou will not be lost!" Yuan Shao said.
"Lord, calm down, Cao Mengde will have his own destiny." Tian Feng said.
"Where's the Marquis of Dongyang, who will collect it?" Yuan Shao said.
Tian Feng was silent.
Jizhou is now in its most critical moment.
There are no allies left!
How to resist Dongyang Hou¡¯s attack? !
Tian Feng has no choice at all.
Yuan Shao was even more upset when he saw Tian Feng was silent.
Cao Mengde, why do you do this to me?
Yuan Shao really wanted to question Cao Cao face to face, but unfortunately, there was no chance. Unless he can resist Dongyang Hou's attack.
"If Marquis Dongyang is coming, then come. You really think I, Yuan Benchu, are easy to bully!" Yuan Shao suddenly said with high spirits.
At least you have to struggle! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
