Cao Cao looked calm and disapproved, and said loudly: "No matter how many countries there are in the world, the Han Dynasty will always be the center of all countries. Other barbarians are nothing to worry about."
"Just say that the small countries in the Western Regions such as Dawan, Loulan, Cheshi and Wusun are all in disarray."
"These places either have strong winds and sand, or the climate is bitter and cold, and life is difficult. Even if it is rare food, there is nothing to aspire to. I also know the news that Zhang Qian came back from the Western Regions back then."
"Besides, there is a Japanese country to the southeast of the Han Dynasty. They also drink blood. There is no need for the Han Dynasty to take a direct look at it. It seems that the Han Dynasty is still the strongest. What is the point of all the countries in the world looking at it?"
At this moment, Cao Cao was as calm as ever.
When you are still struggling, you will worry about gains and losses, and you will want to climb up and change your current situation. When you fall into the abyss and there is no chance, you will naturally give up completely.
This is the case with Cao Cao now.
Cao Cao was defeated and had no intention of fighting anymore, so he naturally calmed down.
Nothing but death.
If you are not afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan and was no longer hostile. Without waiting for Lu Xuan to speak, he went further and said: "Lu Xuan, I lost to you. I am a king or a bandit. There is nothing to say. But after all, you are my king." Son-in-law. After my death, I hope you will treat the Cao family well. This is my only request."
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and was about to wipe it towards his neck.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Xuan spoke.
Cao Cao stopped and asked, "What else do you want to say?"
Lu Xuan said: "Without my father-in-law, the Cao family will have no backbone, and their life will definitely be difficult."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "When I am here, their life will be difficult. When I am dead, they will be carefree. As long as I am here, there will always be a threat to you. If you don't take action, someone will naturally target me. Targeting the Cao family. So, why bother?"
He tightened his grip on the shuriken.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Xuan spoke again.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Can't you finish it all at once?"
Lu Xuan shrugged, looking helpless, and sighed: "My father-in-law didn't give me a chance, so he asked me to finish it all at once?"
Cao Cao said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it, I want to listen. What kind of flowers can you tell me?"
In Cao Cao's heart, he always believed that Lu Xuan could tolerate him, and he only spared his life because of the relationship between the two parties. After he surrendered, he would also be under surveillance and imprisoned, and it was impossible for him to be allowed to come and go freely.
Otherwise, if Lu Xuan is not afraid of counselors such as Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia, will he continue to love Cao Cao?
This is a very real problem.
As long as Cao Cao is here, these former ministers of Cao Cao will love Cao Cao and remain the foundation of Cao Cao.
By then, his family will also be implicated.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao who was holding the sword and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, put down your sword first and let's talk. If you insist on committing suicide after I finish talking to you, I won't stop you. Again, you don't know the world It’s so big that you don’t know how vast the world is.”
Cao Cao said: "Humph, you are trying to be mysterious."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Are you worried that if your father-in-law puts down his sword, I will have you tied up and forbid you to commit suicide?"
Cao Cao held his head high and looked stubborn, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you kidnap me, if I want to commit suicide, you can't stop me at all. You can tie me up for a while, but not for a lifetime. Why should I be afraid of you?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "In that case, why do you need to hold the sword tightly? Listen to what I say, it will have no impact on you."
Cao Cao glanced at the sword in his hand.
Immediately, he looked at Lu Xuan in front of him again. He knew that it was Lu Xuan's provoking method, but he was also thinking about it in his heart.
Does Lu Xuan have any ideas?
Lu Xuan said loudly: "Father-in-law, just tell me whether you dare or not? The people who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo back then don't even dare to listen to my words now?"
"Who wouldn't dare?"
Cao Cao stuck his sword on the ground and strode forward.
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face. Cao Cao put down his sword, and he was fully confident to persuade Cao Cao and let Cao Cao survive.
Keeping Cao Cao is more valuable.
Cao Cao is very capable, whether he is governing a place or leading troops to fight, he is first-class. In addition, Cao Cao's attitude towards the poor family was consistent with Lu Xuan's. Keeping such a person would obviously have more advantages than disadvantages.
The key is that the world is huge. Not only the Han Dynasty today, there are still many places to conquer.
This is the most important.
Under this premise, Cao Cao has too many uses.
Not long after, Cao Cao came to Lu Xuan's side. He looked at Lu Xuan and said loudly: "What do you want to say? I will wait and see."
Lu Xuan squatted down and drew a map of the world.
The global map he sketched included all continents. When such a map was drawn, Cao Cao blinked after looking at it, with a puzzled look on his face.
When Lu Xuan was sketching, Jia Xu also looked over.
Jia Xu looked curious.
Jia Xu had previously returned and brought back grain, and Jia Xu had also learned a little about it. He knew that Wu had different grains, and he knew more about them than others. However, Jia Xu's understanding was limited, so he was extremely curious.
Lu Xuan drew out the maps of each continent, and then drew out the territory of the Han Dynasty. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River were drawn out, and the general regions of the states were drawn out. The Han Dynasty and the surrounding areas became clear.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao and smiled: "Father-in-law, you are familiar with the map of the Han Dynasty. But the Han Dynasty is just a place that looks very small when looking at the whole world."
Cao Cao looked at the big man's area.
I looked at the external continents and saw that these territories were very large, much larger than the Han Dynasty.
However, Cao Cao was stubborn and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, even though there is a large territory outside, they are just barbarians who drink hair and drink blood. They are just a group of rabble. It is not surprising."
"Father-in-law, you are wrong, so wrong!"
Lu Xuan shook his head and spoke.
He looked at the European area, pointed at Europe, roughly circled the area of the Roman Empire, and said in a deep voice: "This area, now under the rule of a queen, has become more and more powerful, and merchants are coming to me. Wu State."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
Lu Xuan pointed to the European region and continued: "This is the United States Federation. Now under the rule of a man named Washington, it is completely unified and its strength is developing rapidly."
Lu Xuan pointed to areas such as Tianzhu and Egypt, and further said: "These areas should also have unified forces, and they will not be weak. Their territory is unprecedentedly large. Father-in-law, do you really know how big the world is?"
Cao Cao looked at the map drawn by Lu Xuan and blinked, a little confused!
Even more shocked.
He thought that there was a small country outside, a group of barbarians who drank raw materials and drank blood. Looking at it now, they are all unified territories. Such regional centralization and unification will inevitably form a strong national power and pose a threat to the Han Dynasty.
Lu Xuan looked at the somewhat confused Cao Cao, with a smile on his lips.
This is the effect we want.
Cao Cao quickly calmed down, looked up at Lu Xuan, and asked again: "Lu Xuan, is the news you mentioned true?"
