When Cao Mengde heard this, his expression changed and he waved his hands hastily.
"Young Master, we cannot retreat."
Guo Tu snorted coldly, "Meng Degong, the army is short of food now and it's time to withdraw. But what do you mean by blocking it now?"
Cao Mengde wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile, "My lord, if you retreat, what will happen to Lu Bu's son?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, shook his head and said, "Meng Degong, I'm really sorry. The army is short of food now, and I can't do anything about it. As for Lu Bu, you can only find a way to solve it yourself."
After hearing this, Cao Mengde completely understood that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, wanted to take the opportunity to threaten him.
what to do?
promise?
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, will take the opportunity to stay, like a nail, firmly fixed here.
Don't agree?
If Lu Bu comes to attack, what should he do to resist?
Cao Mengde's mind changed rapidly. After being silent for a long time, he sighed secretly and cupped his hands.
"Master, if that's the case, then let's do as you say."
"Ha ha!"
When Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, heard Cao Mengde's answer, his eyes lit up and he looked up to the sky and laughed proudly.
Cao Mengde heard the laughter of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and although he gritted his teeth in anger, his face did not change at all.
Guo Tu on the side raised his hand and said, "My lord once praised Meng Degong for his decisive action. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. I admire you."
Although Guo Tu said he admired him, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Cao Mengde must have known what Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, meant, but he still agreed.
Cao Mengde cupped his hand and said, "My eldest son, I agree, but Lu Bu's child is too rampant. I hope that the eldest son will eradicate him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
The meaning of these words is that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, helped him get rid of Lu Bu and gave him Juye as a benefit.
Hearing this, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, snorted coldly in his heart, turned his head and looked at Cao Mengde, and said slowly.
"Meng Degong, when I came here, Lu Bu took the initiative to withdraw. If I declare war again, I'm afraid I will be blamed."
At this point, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, paused for a moment, but then he continued without waiting for Cao Mengde to answer his words.
"How about Meng Degong send a letter of challenge to Lu Bu, so that I can have an excuse to send troops. What do you think?"
"this?"
Cao Mengde only hesitated for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, eldest son, I will go back and write a letter soon."
After saying this, Cao Mengde turned around and left in a hurry.
He doesn't want to look at Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, because whenever he sees him, he thinks of the conditions that made him sad just now.
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, looked at Cao Mengde's leaving figure with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
"He indeed agreed!"
Guo Tu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Young Master, you can't blame Meng Degong for this, he had to agree!
If he doesn't agree, as long as we retreat, Lu Bu will immediately lead his troops back. What will he do to stop us?
Therefore, no matter what conditions we offer now, he must agree because he has no way out. "
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, nodded and said with a smile, "Since Meng Degong has given Juye to us, we will immediately arrange for someone to take over."
Guo Tu hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "I'll do it now."
