The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 550 Dialogue Under the City
"Don't worry about Zhicai. Of course I know that defending the city is far easier than attacking the city, but I really want to confront Cao Cao head-on." Li Yuan is a very strong person. Facing the hero Cao Cao in history, he wants to fight Cao Cao on the battlefield. showdown.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, now we are confronting Cao Cao head-on. It's just one attacking the city and the other defending the city. It is really wise to defeat the enemy with the most effective strategy."

Two hours later, Cao Cao's army finally arrived outside the city of Qiao County. Li Yuan watched from the city wall.

After Cao Cao's army arrived in Xiapi, they did not rush to attack the city, but ordered to set up camp. It seems that Cao Cao also knew that attacking Qiao County would not take a day or two, so there is no point in rushing to attack the city now. They came all the way from Chenliu and chose to Setting up camp and repairing troops and horses is the safest strategy.

"My lord, let's go back first. Cao Cao has so many soldiers and horses, it will take at least one day to set up camp now. He probably won't attack the city today." Xi Zhicai predicted.

Li Yuan nodded, and was about to go back, when suddenly a rider flew over from the city, and the archers on the city were about to shoot arrows, Li Yuan stopped them and said: "Don't shoot arrows, there is only one enemy, don't worry."

The soldiers below shouted: "Can the soldiers in the city inform that General Cao wants to meet General Li."

"I am Li Yuan. Why does Cao Cao want to see me?" Li Yuan shouted to the people below. His voice was very penetrating. Although he was a little far from the ground, the people below could still hear what he said clearly.

The soldier saw Li Yuan on it, and he replied: "General Cao said that he has not seen General Li for many years, and he misses him very much. We will meet at the foot of the city in half an hour, and each of us can only bring one person with us. Don't worry, General Li, this will definitely not be the case. our scheme."

"Hahahahaha, Cao Cao is really interesting. You go back and tell him that I agree to meet him." Li Yuan agreed to Cao Cao's request for a meeting. Although he didn't know why Cao Cao wanted to do this, he was not afraid of Cao Cao's ambush.

"Thank you, General Li, for agreeing. I'll go back and reply first." The soldier clasped his fists and rode his horse back to Cao Ying.

Xi Zhicai said next to Li Yuan, "My lord, is it too dangerous to do this?"

"No," Li Yuan shook his head, "Since Cao Cao wants to meet, I'll go meet him for a while and see what tricks he wants to play."

Half an hour later, Li Yuan and Cao Cao met under the city. Cao Cao was so clever that he was just outside the range of the archers on the city. He also took precautions against Li Yuan, worried that Li Yuan would let the archers on the city attack suddenly, He only brought Dian Wei, so he will be more careful.

Li Yuan also only brought Xu Zhu alone, and they walked to the opposite side of Cao Cao, only ten meters apart, very close, Li Yuan suddenly had a thought in his heart, if he and Dian Wei suddenly attacked now, as long as Xu Zhu held Dian Wei, he would definitely You can kill Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao is average in martial arts and is definitely not his opponent.

This thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and in the end he decided to give up. Since Cao Cao dared to come, he must have come prepared. It is impossible for him to succeed easily. If he is too impulsive, maybe he will explain here.

"Hahahahaha, I haven't seen General Li for many years with more prestige than before." Cao Cao said a polite word. He already knew that Li Yuan pretended to be "Zhao Yu" to deceive him and even killed Xia Houheng, but he behaved very politely, as if Li Yuan Not his enemy but his friend in general.

Li Yuan also smiled and said: "The same is true for General Cao. I would like to congratulate you on successfully taking Hebei this time. Even Gongsun Kang of Liaodong has surrendered to you. I really envy you."

"I envy General Li. Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou are all rich and prosperous places. Yangzhou has become better and better under your governance. Although I have occupied Hebei and Yanzhou, these places are still not as good as you." Cao Cao's words are true, he is indeed envious of Li Yuan's land being so rich.

Li Yuan put away his smile, and said seriously: "General Cao, don't you just want to say these things to me if you want to meet me?"

"Of course not," Cao Cao also put away the smile on his face, and his tone suddenly became cold, "Dare to ask General Li, are you 'Zhao Yu' himself?"

Faced with Cao Cao's questioning, Li Yuan did not hide anything, and said without hesitation: "That is indeed me."

"General Li is really brave. He dared to go to Yecheng alone for a mere Zhou Yu. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by me? If I find out, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to return to Xiapi." Cao Cao's eyes became sharper. , exuding an aura that only those in high positions have.

"Didn't you find out that I am living well now? Zhou Yu is nothing to you, but to me he is a magic weapon to defeat you, so I will take the risk to bring him back to Yecheng." Pi. Cao Cao, you originally had the opportunity to let Zhou Yu fully assist you, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it and always mistrusted Zhou Yu, so I had the opportunity to take him away." Li Yuan's words were full of irony. Taking Zhou Yu away was not because of his great ability, but because Cao Cao was too suspicious.

"Li Yuan, Zhou Yu doesn't trust me, so I don't trust him. Since he has no intention of serving me sincerely, I won't say anything, but why did you kill Xia Houheng? Don't tell me it's for Zhou Yu, you Killing him was only because of a brothel girl, Li Yuan, an imposing general, would be jealous of a brothel girl competing with other men, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid the world will laugh to death." Cao Cao immediately retaliated, using Li Yuan's flair To satirize Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was not embarrassed at all when Cao Cao said this, he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, it doesn't matter if this matter gets out, even if Yu'er is a brothel woman, she has her favorite things just like ordinary women. There are also things I don't like. She was sold to a brothel because she was forced to do so, so I took her away. However, I, Li Yuan, never touched her, but Xia Houheng took her away forcibly in order to satisfy his desire. Yu'er wanted to keep her I killed Xia Houheng to avenge her. I don't think there is anything wrong with what I did. On the other hand, Xia Houyuan is also a famous general of his generation, but the son he taught has no skills at all. He only knows how to eat, drink and play, which is really insulting to Xiahou The family's reputation."

"Li Yuan, you!" Cao Cao was a little annoyed by Li Yuan's irony. He didn't expect Li Yuan to be so eloquent. He couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Li Yuan was happy to see Cao Cao angry, and continued: "General Cao, don't be angry. I have always been very curious about one thing. When Zhou Yu took refuge in you, since you didn't trust him, you can let him go. People come to assassinate him, so it is easier to cause trouble for myself, I have never figured this out, but I didn't know the reason until Zhou Yu told me personally."
