"Haha! Everyone, please stand up! Yangping Pass is still in the hands of Cao Cao's army, and he cannot be called the King of Hanzhong."
Liu Bei was humble and honest. Even though he said this, he still held a ceremony to declare himself king in Hanzhong.
Now the whole world knows that Liu Bei is the King of Hanzhong.
When the news reached Xuchang, Cao Cao was shocked and angry.
"I handed over Hanzhong to Miaocai because he was mature and steady. But not long after I withdrew my troops, Hanzhong was lost. I was so angry!"
"My lord, now that General Xiahou has been captured, Yangpingguan is in danger, and we must rescue him," Zhong Yao said.
Now is not the time to pass the buck, but to solve the problem.
Cao Cao knew this clearly, but he still felt very sad.
The army has only rested for a long time. Is it possible that it will go out again?
?Then why did you come back in the first place?
"Big-eared thief, I will fight you until death!"
All incidents occurred because of Liu Bei's sneak attack. Cao Cao wished he could send troops to attack Liu Bei. The benevolence he had at the beginning actually made Liu Bei bigger and became a serious problem for him.
Damn it!
"My lord, if Yangping Pass is still in our hands, Hanzhong has not been lost. We can just take it back." Li Dian also agreed to send troops.
"Zhongda, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.
Sima Yi has been silent, waiting for this sentence. This is probably what it feels like to be valued.
"My lord, our army is exhausted now and it is not suitable to fight anymore."
"Why?" Cao Cao said.
"Our army has won Longxi. If we win Hanzhong again, the Marquis of Dongyang will not be able to sit still. Now that we have lost Hanzhong, we have bought time for our lord. It is hard to say whether we will gain or lose." Sima Yi said.
When he thought of Liu Ke, Cao Cao had an even greater headache.
"What you said makes sense, but how can we clean up the mess in Hanzhong?"
"My lord, our army voluntarily withdraws from Yangping Pass, signs an offensive and defensive alliance with Liu Bei, and by the way wants to get back the two Xiahou generals." Sima Yi gave a pertinent suggestion.
"Now among the princes in the world, only Dongyanghou, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei are left, as well as the imperial court represented by the lord. Dongyanghou is so powerful that it cannot be fought by two families. It is necessary to gather the strength of three families."
Cao Cao couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The current situation seemed calm, but it was turbulent.
"The real war has just begun."
"Our army begins to recuperate and recuperate!"
Cao Cao agreed to Sima Yi's plan and formed an alliance with Liu Bei.
Because Cao Cao saw that even if he defeated Liu Bei, it would be meaningless as long as Dongyang Hou remained standing.
The Marquis of Dongyang is the biggest enemy. This revenge will be avenged later.
So Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to Shu.
"What, Cao Cao wants to negotiate peace?" Liu Bei couldn't believe it.
"My lord, it's absolutely true, Zhong Yao has arrived at Yangping Pass." Fa Zheng said.
"Haha, your majestic Cao Mengde, I beat you to the point of losing your temper. Who in the world dares to look down on me?" Liu Bei said with high spirits.
Since losing Xuzhou, Liu Bei has been depressed and frustrated. Life in Xinye was even more torturous, living in a few small counties.
"I finally became a prince sitting in a state again, haha!" Liu Bei laughed loudly. Only those who have been displaced can know how precious it is.
"Brother, you are not only a prince now, but also the king of Hanzhong!" Zhang Fei said.
"Yes, the King of Hanzhong! The Marquis of Dongyang has been a soldier all his life, and now I am just a marquis, but I, Liu Xuande, am the King of Hanzhong!" Liu Bei said proudly.
In this aspect, even Liu Ke cannot catch up with him.
"Then, should I agree to Cao Mengde's peace proposal?" Liu Bei regained his senses after being happy.
"My lord, why don't you agree? Now your biggest enemy is not Cao Mengde, but the Marquis of Dongyang. Cao Mengde also saw this, so he reconciled with his lord, remember not to break it." Fa Zhengdao.
"Yes, my biggest enemy is always the Marquis of Dongyang." Liu Bei said.
When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he was chased all the way to Yizhou by Liu Ke. One was in the east and the other was in the west. It was a great shame and humiliation.
Liu Bei would never forget it in his life, so he went ten miles out of the city to meet Zhong Yao.
"Mr. Xuande!"
Zhong Yao did not call him the King of Hanzhong because he only had the King of Wei in his eyes.
But there is nothing wrong with calling him Mr. Xuande. Only people with high moral standards and high prestige can do it.Only then can he be called "public."
"Everyone opens the skylight and speaks frankly. What conditions does Cao Cao have?" Liu Bei said.
"The King of Wei is willing to form an alliance with you and will not hold you accountable for seizing Hanzhong privately. Therefore, you should also let go of the two generals Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Shang." Zhong Yao said.
"Humph, Cao Mengde is so insincere? I have defeated Hanzhong myself, can he still want to go back?" Liu Bei said dissatisfied.
"Haha, the imperial court still has 600,000 fighting troops." Zhong Yao said.
Of course Liu Bei would not be frightened.
"You really think that Dongyang Hou will not attack you? Cao Mengde is already qualified to threaten Dongyang Hou's dominance."
"The Marquis of Dongyang is also the enemy of Duke Xuande, isn't he?" Zhong Yao said.
"That's why I'm here to talk to you, otherwise I'll just beat you." Liu Bei said firmly.
Having won the battle, I feel confident in speaking.
Liu Bei really likes this feeling.
"What does Mr. Xuande want?"
"Yangping Pass! Yangping Pass is the gateway to Hanzhong."
This was one of the conditions, and Zhong Yao could agree to it himself, but it was not good for the negotiation to directly expose his trump card, so he decided to take advantage of Liu Bei.
"Mr. Xuande, we took Yangping Pass with a lot of effort." Zhong Yao said.
"Then I'll put in more effort to defeat it," Liu Bei said.
"Mr. Xuande, are you really unwilling to reconcile?" Zhong Yao said coldly.
Jian Yong saw that the two of them had the intention of fighting, so he quickly tried to persuade them: "My lord, Holy Envoy, please calm down. If we start fighting at this time, it will only make Dongyang Hou laugh."
"Haha, you're right, but I definitely need Yangping Pass." Liu Bei was firm.
Without Yangping Pass, Hanzhong would not be at ease. Cao Cao might attack one day.
"Our army can give up Yangping Pass, but there are several conditions."
Liu Bei looked happy, and Zhong Yao finally compromised.
"What conditions?"
"Release all the prisoners in the Hanzhong War." Zhong Yao said.
"This is easy to say, I agree." Liu Bei said generously.
"Compensate our army with five million gold in military expenses." Zhong Yao said.
grass!
Liu Bei almost wanted to curse his mother, asking for money or his life, but for the sake of Yangping Pass, he held it back.
"Five million gold is too much, five million at most."
grass!
Zhong Yao is also going to scold his mother, and just cut it into a tenth?
Liu Xuande, you are worthy of selling straw sandals!
"Too little, three million gold."
"One million gold, no more."
The two of them sparred over every detail, and finally settled the deal for two million gold.
Zhong Yao was very satisfied. At first, Cao Cao just wanted to exchange for Xia Houyuan, but now he has two million more gold. This is his ability.
