Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 703 The 3rd Meeting

_up;

After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties. The Han army controlled the pontoon bridge and was finally able to retreat. Thousands of Han troops quickly retreated to the south bank under the leadership of Liao Hua.

Cao Jun surrounded the pontoon bridge. At this time, Cao Jun soldiers were about to pour kerosene on the pontoon bridge, but Yu Jin stopped them, "Don't burn down this pontoon bridge!"

Yu Jin stared coldly at the south bank. Although the prime minister ordered him to burn down the three pontoon bridges, it was to annihilate the [-] Han troops on the north bank. Now that the Han army had escaped over the pontoon bridges, leaving a pontoon bridge would be enough to explain to the prime minister.

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "General, our army has arrived!"

Yu Jin looked back, and saw a black line in the distance, stretching for more than ten miles. This was the arrival of the prime minister, and Yu Jin immediately ordered a tooth general, "Go and occupy Anyang County first!"

He turned his horse's head and led a few cavalrymen to gallop towards the main force of Cao's army.

This coming army is the [-] main force led by Cao Cao himself. Cao Cao was originally in Ancheng. He hoped that Liu Jing's main force could cross the Huaihe River and go to Ancheng to fight against him, but Cao Cao also gradually discovered that Liu Jing He didn't intend to fight him decisively, but just confronted him, so Cao Cao changed his name to Plan, and took the initiative to lead his army south, preparing to confront the Han army across the Huaihe River.

The [-] Cao troops were less than ten miles away from the Huaihe River, and they could clearly see Anyang County in the distance. At this time, Yu Jin rushed from the south, rushed to the handsome flag and bowed to Cao Cao, "See the prime minister!"

Cao Cao nodded and asked, "How is the situation of the Han Army in Anyang County?"

"Returning to the Prime Minister, before our army arrived, Liu Jing was in Anyang County. He saw through our strategy. The Han army had already prepared to withdraw. We fought fiercely with the Han army at the bridge, but they still withdrew. Our army More than 300 enemies were killed, and less than [-] self-injured."

Hearing that Liu Jing was actually in the city, Cao Cao felt a little annoyed. He knew that he would have sent cavalry to sneak attack on the pontoon bridge first, but this annoyance disappeared in an instant, and he asked again: "How is the pontoon bridge?"

Yu Jin had already heard the prime minister's tone, and he was secretly glad that he had left a pontoon bridge behind. He clasped his fists and said, "Report to the prime minister, two of the three pontoon bridges were burned down, but the last one was not ordered to be burned down. Wait for the prime minister to deal with it."

Cao Cao finally had a smile on his face, "You've done a good job, I'm going to see the floating bridge now!"

Cao Cao got on his horse and ran towards the bank of the Huaihe River under the guard of thousands of soldiers. After a while, Cao Cao came to the bank of the Huaihe River. It is not wide, only more than fifty feet, and you can clearly see the Han army camp on the other side.

At this time, a large group of cavalry also appeared on the opposite side. Yu Jin's eyesight was excellent, he recognized Liu Jing in the cavalry group at a glance, and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, I have seen Liu Jing."

Cao Cao nodded, he thought for a moment, then smiled at Jin and said: "General Yu, can you go and speak to Liu Jing for me, I want to have a few words with him on the pontoon bridge."

Yu Jin felt extremely bitter, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The humble job is willing to go!"

He turned his horse's head and led the horse towards the opposite bank with two followers. At this moment, Xiahou Dun'pu! ' laughed out loud, Cao Cao turned his head and glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiahou Dun held back his laughter and lowered his head. Cao Cao turned his head and said coldly to the generals, "I know you are laughing at General Yu's repeated defeats by Liu Jing, but aren't we the same? How many times have we fought Liu Jing? How many more battles have you won? General Yu spared Liu Jing in Rangshan back then, so why not I, who knows what will happen in the future, and whoever dares to ridicule General Yu in the future will be severely punished by me."

The generals hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't dare!"

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu who was on the side again: "Zhongde, do you think we can fight this battle?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Judging from the current situation of the Han army, they want to confront us across the Huaihe River, but I am also a little puzzled why Liu Jing chose to fight us in the cold winter. You must know that they are the southern army. Fighting in winter, the southern army is at a disadvantage, and the river is frozen, so they can't play the advantage of their navy army. To be honest, I don't understand why."

Cao Cao nodded, "The military adviser's doubts are justified, and I am also deeply confused, but the matter has come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time."

After Yu Jin crossed the Huaihe River, he said to the Han army on the bank from a long distance: "Don't shoot the arrows, I ordered the prime minister to send a message to Liu Zhoumu."

Liu Jing slowly urged the horse forward, he recognized Yu Jin at a glance, and said with a smile: "So it's General Yu, we haven't seen each other for many years, and General Yu's expression is still the same as before."

Yu Jin smiled wryly and said, "Thank you Zhou Mu for your concern. I'm here to convey the message by order of the prime minister. The prime minister would like to say a few words to Zhou Mu. Would Zhou Mu be willing?"

"Yes, I am also looking forward to meeting the prime minister."

Liu Jing pointed at the pontoon with his whip, and said with a smile, "Just talk on the pontoon! Thank you General Yu for not burning down the pontoon."

"I'm going to report to the Prime Minister!"

Yu Jin was nervous and turned around to leave, but Liu Jing stopped him again, "General Yu, please stay!"

Yu Jin turned around slowly, "Is Zhou Mu still busy?"

Liu Jing smiled, "I have always regarded General Yu as an old friend. Although we have had many grievances, but now that I think about it, it is a kind of fate. I have a sentence, please remember General Yu."

"Please speak, Zhou Mu, and Yu Wen will listen attentively."

Liu Jing said slowly: "General Yu wants to leave a way out for himself. I believe that General Yu will regain his glory one day in the future."

Yu Jin was shocked, he understood Liu Jing's meaning, he bowed silently, turned around and left with his horse.

Watching Yu Jin go far away, Liu Jing smiled meaningfully. This Yu Jin has already been moved by his own words, or in other words, his confidence in Cao Cao is not enough. Yu Jin is like this, what about the other generals of the Cao army? ?

Half an hour later, Liu Jing and Cao Cao each led a dozen guards onto the pontoon bridge and met in the middle of the pontoon bridge. At this time, the middle section of the pontoon bridge had been demolished, and the distance between the two sides was five feet. Although the guards on both sides did not carry crossbows, they Still looking at each other vigilantly.

"Nephew, stay safe and sound!" Cao Cao said with a hearty smile.

Liu Jing clasped his fists and saluted, "The prime minister is old, but he wants to go out in person. In such a cold weather, I hope the prime minister will take care of his health."

Different from Liu Jing's sarcasm when they met in Ziwu Valley last time, this time Liu Jing spoke very sincerely, caring about Cao Cao's body, just like the younger generation caring about the elders, which actually touched Cao Cao's heart a little.

He sighed, "My dog ​​is incompetent, I can't go out for me, I can only stand on my feet, but it is the responsibility of my nephew to go out in such cold weather!"

"I just don't want to hurt the peasants. Over the past [-] years, there have been wars and chaos, and the people of the world have suffered greatly. I very much hope that the war can end as soon as possible, and the world can be unified. After that, the corvee and the tax will be lightened, so that my people can recuperate for a hundred years. This is My greatest wish."

Cao Cao nodded, and sighed: "I can understand my nephew's ambition. In fact, I am a prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Both my ancestors and I have been favored by Han for a long time. I also hope that the Han Dynasty can continue, and I hope that there will be another one." The rule of Wenjing, I proposed back then that I would like to support my nephew as emperor, and we, the monarch and his ministers, will work hard to rule, rejuvenate the great man, and leave a good name through the ages, but my nephew refused to accept it, and I regret it so far."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I can accept the prime minister's kindness, but can the prime minister accept the government of Chengdu?"

Cao Cao's complexion changed. Of course he knew what Liu Jing meant. He wanted to accept the multi-phase system and give up power. How could it be possible? There are many grievances, if I lose power, I am afraid that those who want to kill me will break through my house, and in order to save my life, I have to hold a sword in my hand."

"The prime minister's words are inappropriate. As long as I don't kill the prime minister, no one in the world will dare to touch the prime minister. If the prime minister is willing to delegate power, I will protect the prime minister and Cao's family. Yea!"

Cao Cao was furious, and glared at Liu Jing with his hand on the hilt of his sword, "Are you threatening the truth?"

"I'm not threatening the prime minister, but just speaking frankly. The prime minister is old, how long can he remain in power, at this time, the prime minister should think more about his reputation behind him."

Cao Cao stared at Liu Jing, gritted his teeth for a while and said, "It was my lifelong hatred that Rangshan didn't kill you back then."

Liu Jing laughed out loud, and when he stopped laughing, he said coldly: "This is God's will, the heavens let me Liu Jing come to restore the great man, I have a piece of advice, please keep it in mind!"

"Say it!" Cao Cao suppressed his anger, and burst out these two words from between his teeth.

Liu Jing bowed his hands to him, "The prime minister's family affairs are also the affairs of the world. If I were the prime minister, I would make Mr. Zhi Zhi the son of the world. If you speak harshly, the prime minister will respect himself!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Jing turned around and strode towards the south bank, but Cao Cao didn't get angry. He looked at Liu Jing's back, chewing on Liu Jing's last sentence repeatedly, "Establishing Young Master Zhi as his son, he realized that this was not Liu Jing's." The alarmist words had a deep meaning. At this time, Cao Cao sighed, and he suddenly felt as if he was ten years older.

Cao Cao waved his hand wearily, "Let's go!"

With the help of two guards, he staggered towards the north bank

Cao Jun set up a big camp on the north bank, and tens of thousands of soldiers were busy digging earth and wood to build the board wall. In Cao Cao, he was sitting on a soft couch in a thick robe, holding historical records in his hand, and was reading silently, but his mind was not on the scroll. Still thinking about his meeting with Liu Jing.

During this meeting, Liu Jing's demeanor was completely different from before, especially Liu Jing's self-confidence brought him a great impact, and also made Cao Cao feel Liu Jing's domineering arrogance, which made him palpitate.

Cao Cao is still thinking about Liu Jing's last sentence, "Family affairs are also the affairs of the world, please make Mr. Zhi Zhi your son!" '

This sentence has a deep meaning, and Cao Cao also understands that Liu Jing is actually alluding to the ambition of the eldest son Cao Pi, which makes Cao Cao deeply worried. No one can persuade you better than Liu Jing's words It has a greater impact on Cao Cao. After all, it is related to his posthumous reputation and the whole family of Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao thought of another sentence of Liu Jing, "The prime minister is old, how long can he remain in power, at this time, the prime minister should think more about his reputation behind him." '

At that time, he was so angry that he didn't take these words to heart. Thinking about it now, Cao Cao was startled. He stood up, walked to the tent with his hands behind his back, and looked to the northwest from a distance, his heart was in a state of confusion.

At this moment, Cheng Yu's voice came from outside, "I have something urgent to see the Prime Minister, please report it for me!"

Cao Cao opened the curtain and walked out, "Zhongde, what's the hurry?"

Cheng Yu quickly stepped forward to salute, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, I have already figured out Liu Jing's real strategic intention to launch this Central Plains campaign, and the situation is probably not good."
