Cao Cao stood on the tower, and the sunlight was shining, making his whole body seem to be covered with golden light. He looked at Lu Xuan riding a horse outside the city, and glanced at Lu Xuan's guards. They were not many, only a few hundred people.
The last time Lu Xuan came to shout, Cao Cao had considered pursuing Lu Xuan. He felt that Lu Xuan could not come alone and there must be an ambush, so he did not pursue him.
It was later learned that Lu Xuan did not arrange an ambush. It's just that the roads outside the city are now muddy and the cavalry can't move quickly. It's also difficult to cover up and kill Lu Xuan.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cannot charge at all.
Cao Cao said loudly: "Lu Xuan, what are you calling me for? Have you figured it out and are you ready to evacuate Hanzhong?"
Lu Xuan was in high spirits when he heard Cao Cao talking to him.
Old friend Cao Cao is here again.
Lu Xuan said loudly: "Hanzhong today is just a quagmire to you. Speaking of which, my father-in-law Cao Mengde, who I know, is wise, powerful, wise and decisive. But this time you are unwise to join forces with Yuan Shao to attack."
"fart!"
Cao Cao scolded him coldly.
He said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan, you are only allowed to sneak into Yizhou secretly, and I am not allowed to seize Hanzhong. There is no such truth in this world. Why don't you just open your mouth and say something about the place you like, and then all of them will be returned to you?" Are you okay?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "I hope so too."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "I tell you clearly that I have decided on the territory of Hanzhong. If you stay in Nanzheng to surround us, it will not only be useless, but also a waste of time and energy."
"As everyone knows, the Wu Kingdom is already leaking from all directions."
"As for Youzhou, Yuan Shao attacks Gongsun Zan to weaken your influence in Youzhou."
"As for Xuzhou, Yuan Tan sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and Xiahou Dun, arranged by the king, led troops to support Yanzhou. Xuzhou is also in a hurry."
"Lu Xuan, are you not panic at all?"
Cao Cao raised his voice and said with an anxious look: "I, the king, have already gone back in a panic to stabilize the situation. Only by returning earlier can we avoid civil strife in the five countries. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the rear, all your years of hard work will be lost. Down the drain.”
Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
Cao Cao changed his previous style and actually chose to take the initiative to suppress him in public opinion.
Unfortunately, the idea is naive.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "King Qin's idea is good, but unfortunately, your fate is not good, God bless me or not."
Cao Cao sneered, and without asking why the sky did not protect him, he loudly said according to his own thoughts: "Lu Xuan, I don't believe in fate, but I believe that man can conquer heaven. Everything I have now is the result of my sword and spear. "
Lu Xuan continued: "The so-called disbelief in fate, the so-called man's determination to conquer nature, is just a futile struggle and is of no avail."
At this point, Lu Xuan said with a serious look: "Father-in-law, you and I are relatives. For your own good, I suggest you withdraw from Hanzhong. Or, simply surrender to me, and I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth."
"Shit!"
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this.
Prosperity and wealth?
Doesn't he need Lu Xuan to give him glory and wealth?
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "If you regard me as your relative, and Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren as your elders, why would you kill them? Hypocrisy, treachery, and shamelessness. I am talking about you, Lu Xuan. When you open your mouth, you are full of lies. .”
Lu Xuan listened calmly to Cao Cao's accusations and said calmly: "They say there are no fathers and sons in a casino, let alone a battlefield? Moreover, I recruited Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, but they are not willing to surrender."
"That's all. Since my father-in-law doesn't recognize me and doesn't believe me, I won't bother to persuade him and just tell King Qin a piece of news."
Lu Xuan threw out his purpose.
Lu Xuan's purpose was to use the news from Yanzhou to attack Cao Cao.
The previous words were just clichés.
When Cao Cao heard the so-called news from Lu Xuan, his bad premonition became stronger and he asked, "What news?"
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "You said that Xiahou Dun of Yanzhou is stationed in Yanzhou with his army to coordinate Yuan Shao's troops and attack my king's Xuzhou. Unfortunately, Zhou Yu, the governor of Yuzhou under my command, joined forces with Taishi Ci of Jingzhou to send troops."
"Currently, Taishi Ci stormed into Yingchuan County and captured Yingchuan. Gao Shun entered Pei State from Runan County and went north to capture Liang State. Zhou Yu fought in Chen County, defeated Xiahou Dun's army and captured Chen State."
"After Xiahou Dun's defeat, he retreated again and again, and had already retreated into Chenliu. Now Zhou Yu leads a large army to further counterattack Yanzhou."
With a smile in his eyes, Lu Xuan said loudly: "The one who is in danger is not my king, nor the Kingdom of Wu, but Xiahou Dun, and your Qin Kingdom."
brush!
Cao Cao's expression changed drastically.
Yanzhou is in danger.
In Cao Cao's arrangement, Xiahou Dun not only guarded against Zhou Yu, but also responded to the situation in Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, they lost such an important place as Yingchuan County before coordinating Yuan Tan's attack, and were defeated and retreated to Chenliu.
Cao Cao's eyes rolled, but he did not admit it and said directly: "Lu Xuan, you are spreading rumors just to confuse people's hearts and want to scare me and shake my military morale. Your small skills are not worth mentioning, and neither do I I won’t believe it.”
Lu Xuan did not expect Cao Cao to be so decisive and directly denied it. But no matter how much Cao Cao denied it, he couldn't suppress it.
When the news comes out, it will cause shock.
Cao Cao stationed his troops in Nanzheng City. These days, he stabilized the morale of the troops, suppressed the situation, and temporarily controlled the situation. But when news of Yanzhou's troubles spread, the news of the killings of Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren in the past would once again resurface in the minds of Cao Cao's soldiers.
Being human, there will be fear.
People's hearts will wander.
Lu Xuan did not argue with Cao Cao about whether the news was true or not, and said in a bewildering way: "King Qin, I am your son-in-law between you and me. So I will give you a chance now. You can evacuate Nanzheng with your army and leave Hanzhong. I will allow you to leave safely."
"Otherwise, if my army attacks Nanzheng, you will definitely be defeated. In addition, once Yanzhou is lost, I am afraid that Xun Yu will not be able to suppress the situation in Luoyang. In addition, if I spread some news that you are trapped in Nanzheng, Xun Yu can resist Live?"
A series of words made Cao Cao dizzy.
I have been in good health these past few days, in a good mood, and clear-headed. Now that he heard Lu Xuan's words, Cao Cao lost control of his emotions. He felt his head was buzzing and he suddenly had a splitting headache.
His headache returned again.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and endured the waves of pain in his mind. He stared at Lu Xuan outside the city and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, I believe in Wen Ruo. No matter what the situation is, with Wen Ruo here, Guanzhong No worries.”
Lu Xuan said: "King Qin, take care of yourself. I will give you time to choose. Don't miss the opportunity and regret it later."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Fazheng followed Lu Xuan. After walking a distance, he suddenly looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, if Cao Cao really leaves Nanzheng with his army, should we pursue him?"
"Of course I have to chase him!"
Lu Xuan answered without hesitation.
He rode back slowly on his horse and said: "We are fighting between two countries, and everything is for victory. It is normal for soldiers to never tire of deceit. Cao Cao's withdrawal is the best opportunity for us to annihilate Cao Cao's army. How can we miss it? ?”
After hearing this, Fazheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
The two of them talked about Yanzhou's words and Cao Cao's response, and headed towards the camp.
