Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 513
"What if the minister can show enough sincerity?" Cao Cao stood in front of the two armies, pointing to the end.After smiling again, he turned his horse's head and left the battlefield.

After him, the [-] Cao troops all turned around and left the front of the formation without even a trace of defense.Although there were still many of their robed bodies on the battlefield, the moment Cao Cao turned around, they resolutely gave up the anger of fighting, turned and left unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, Cao thief has humiliated you so much, the last general will definitely come to see you, and get rid of the hatred in his heart!" The most important point for a general to abide by is this.Undoubtedly, at this moment, Cao Cao retreated so gracefully and regarded the [-] Han army and the Han emperor as nothing. This kind of humiliation has deeply hurt the hearts of the Han veterans.

But Liu Xie waved his hand dejectedly, and said to the general behind him: "Let's withdraw too. Since Cao Cao dared to treat me like this, he must have a second move... and that move was something that even Jia Huli and Xun Gongda hadn't done before." expected."

"Then, what should I do after that?" Xu Huang was a little anxious. Now that the Han Dynasty is in trouble, he can't advance or retreat, and now he has given up such a good opportunity to attack. He really doesn't know how the situation will develop in the future.After all, there are only ten days left of the Han army's food and fodder. If the predicament cannot be resolved within ten days, the only way to go is to sit and wait for death.

"Things that can't be resolved by war are usually transferred to the negotiating table. Now Cao Cao obviously doesn't want to fight with us anymore, and we seem to be unable to win the fight, so we can only sit down and talk slowly..." After all, Liu Xie He is a person who travels through time and is also the helmsman of the Han Dynasty. He is very familiar with routines such as war and negotiation.Even thinking about what happened next, he couldn't help but praise Cao Cao: "Unexpectedly, Cao Mengde is still so avant-garde, and he brought out the war negotiations at the end of the Han Dynasty."

"Negotiation, just talk about it?" Xu Huang was really dumbfounded: the problem that can't be solved by swords, guns and blood can be solved by talking alone?

"Don't underestimate this negotiation. In fact, our ancestors have already played this game thoroughly. What kind of political strategists do you think Su Qin and Zhang Yi are? They are the best negotiators of that era!" Liu Xie smiled wryly He looked down on Xu Huang for a moment, and finally said with emotion: "Some things really can't be won by war, but you can get mushrooms by talking about it. Learn a little bit, don't just be a person who fights and kills Warrior."

The [-] troops marched opposite each other, and set up their own camps in the land of three homes.Later, as expected by Liu Xie, Cao Cao sent an envoy Man Chong that night and proposed peace talks.However, after listening to Man Chong's suggestion, Liu Xie leisurely replied to the future Lieutenant of Cao Wei: "Your Cao Cao is petty after all. How can you show sincerity with such a rough arrangement? I am the Son of Heaven, and I have always followed the law of etiquette." The man of destiny who is used for it. You go back first, and I will make arrangements in three days."

Man Chong took a deep look at Liu Xie, saluted and then left.Being able to fight with smart people and not talk to idiots is not only known to modern people, but also to the ancient man Man Chong.Right now, he has seen that Liu Xie's knowledge and interest are more familiar than their subordinates, and he even took the initiative to take over the preparations for the negotiation, which is really brilliant.

Three days later, Cao Cao saw that an imposing tent had been set up in the formation of the two armies.Before the negotiation, the two sides agreed that 200 confidant guards from each faction would jointly guard it. Now the negotiators, Liu Xie and Cao Cao, only waited for a few civil and military people to go to the tent together.

And when he just walked into the tent, he was generalized by Liu Xie.Because the tiger and cardinal guards sent by Liu Xie not only brought protective weapons, but also ceremonial objects such as canopy, axes, spears, and scepters.When the emperor Liu Xie appeared, those tiger and cardinal soldiers all put on a welcoming posture, which gave Liu Xie enough face.

This scene also made Cao Cao look at his two hundred tiger guard soldiers who stood there dumbfounded and staring, and rolled his eyes helplessly: Look, this is pomp and pomp!You said, you guys, following Xu Chu, that stupid guy, why are you as stupid as him?
After entering the tent, Cao Cao saluted Liu Xie again. The military salute he gave Liu Xie outside the tent just now was naturally crude.After entering the tent, he made another ceremony of monarch and minister, expressing his sincerity for this negotiation, and finally regained his victory.

"Meng De, how about this negotiating room I arranged?" Liu Xie asked while waving his hand at the tent, sitting high on the seat.

In fact, Cao Cao's heart beat a little as soon as he came in. Liu Xie made this tent, and it was clear that he was going to fight a protracted war with him.

In the middle of this tent is a formal hall, divided into two sides, with a thick carpet on the floor, and you can walk on it with your shoes off.Two sets of screens and felt tents were used to create two sets of partitions on both sides of the hall, apparently for the purpose of allowing one party to enter the partition for secret discussions in the event of a stalemate in the negotiations.

And there is no shortage of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, or various elegant decorations in the account.After being in the right position, there is also a huge map of Dayu Dingding, which is convenient for people to point to the map and speak when negotiating, making people more intuitive and understandable.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, well-intentioned, and I feel deeply. This peace talk will become a model for the ages." Cao Cao bowed again, presumably because of his emotions three days ago. Like a good negotiator.

Of course, it was also because he learned that Xiahou Dun was not in danger of life, but more, Cao Cao, as a politician, had exceptionally good political instincts.

"This remark is very heart-warming, come and bring me some wine!" Liu Xie laughed out loud when he heard the words, looking very happy.However, after laughing, that smiling face looked at Cao Cao, with sparks in his eyes.

Cao Cao naturally knew the source of the spark, so although he bowed his head, he squinted his eyes in a subtle way, showing strategic contempt: Both of them knew that negotiations were not just about greetings, let alone drinking and eating.Before negotiating, there is still a necessary attitude.

As a result, there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Of course, Liu Xie and Cao Cao are both leading brothers today, and they are both people of status, so it is impossible to pinch them when they come up.

As soon as Liu Xie waved his hand, the musicians who had already been in the tent played silk and bamboo.Naturally, the standards were a little lower. After all, Liu Xie was not an arrogant and extravagant emperor, and he even brought a singer and singer with him when he went to the army to fight.These temporary music officials were all temporarily invited by Liu Xie from the army and medical workers to play guest roles.However, this was enough to shock Cao Cao.

Afterwards, the guards of Huben brought fine wine, Cao Cao took the fine wine, and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.But at this moment, seeing that Liu Xie didn't even move, Cao Cao, who was vigilant by nature, immediately understood what he might have done wrong. Fortunately, at this time, a gentle scholar behind him stepped forward and said softly to Cao Cao: " Minggong, this is a time of negotiation, so please observe the etiquette."

Cao Cao was born in a family of officials and is said to be very proficient in etiquette, but he is eclectic by nature, so he naturally despises the details of etiquette.As for drinking, he always only cared about entertaining, and the etiquette in his memory had long been forgotten.

But Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, after a little stunned, he took another bottle of wine and introduced to Liu Xie the person next to him: "Your Majesty, this is Sima Xun Wenruo, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, and the talent of Wang Zuo. The chief negotiator." Cao Cao's intention in introducing Xun Yu was naturally to let Xun Yu drink with him and Liu Xie, so Cao Cao only needed to learn the etiquette.

This thought, Liu Xie naturally guessed it.But he didn't mind either. After all, he made Cao Cao a little guilty by preemptive strikes.

What Liu Xie cared more about at this time was that he didn't expect Cao Cao to get Xun Yu over.This person, as long as anyone who knows a little history of the Three Kingdoms, knows that he is the chief adviser under Cao Cao's command.Later generations say that the five great advisers under Cao Cao include the ghost fox Jia Xu, the ghostly genius Guo Jia, the military master Xun You, and the cannibal Cheng Yu, but in Liu Xie's opinion, the top five advisers are none other than Xun Yu. belongs to.

This modest gentleman who takes care of everything and has a large body and profound body is almost the existence of a perfect person in this era.Especially during Cao Cao's first battle at Guandu, Xun Yu sat in Yanzhou and took control of the overall situation, which made Cao Cao not worry about logistics, and then established his status as the overlord in the north.

If Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu are all Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, then Xun Yu is undoubtedly Xiao He.That old rascal Liu Bang knew that Xiao He was the first to establish the world, and the seemingly unknown Xun Yu behind Cao Cao was not inferior to Xiao He at all.

However, Xun Yu in history was a man who was devoted to the Han.Cao Cao later became the Duke of the State and was granted the title of Jiuxi, and Xun Yu also expressed his advice. In the end, he died of grief and indignation when Cao Cao became the King of Wei.Let such a person serve as Cao Jun's chief negotiator... Heh, this negotiation is really getting more and more exciting.
