Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 723
After talking about the main purpose of inviting Liu Qi to come to Hulao Pass this time.

Cao Cao's eyes were shining brightly, he stared at Liu Qi closely, his face was full of awe, and he didn't say any extra words.

He is still aware of the current situation.

Although the most appropriate choice was made under unavoidable circumstances, there are still certain problems in it.

That is the problem of food shortage in his Wei country.

Under the situation of pacifying Bingzhou and Youzhou this time, the food and grass that Liu Qi sent to support before was almost exhausted. Even if Wei Guo still had some food in reserve, it couldn't last long.

What's more, it still needs a lot of food and grass to implement the decisions he made.

Otherwise, it would be no different from not making that decision and preparing to fight the Han army to the death.

and so.

No matter what decision he is making, food and grass are the problems he needs to solve.

Without enough food and grass, what decision to make will not change much in the result.

In the end, it was prepared to drive the Xiongnu and Karasuma out of the Central Plains for hundreds of miles. As a condition of exchange, they would get enough food and grass to continue.

Hear Cao Cao's conditions.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Cao Cao.

50 tans of grain and grass is a large amount. Even if his Han country has enough grain, it will still be a certain amount of pressure to take out 50 tans at once.

But it will not affect the operation of his Han country.

After all, he just won the land of Wu State, and now all the supplies of Wu State are in his hands, which can still make Han State run.

It only needs to be supported for a period of time, and it will be able to recover according to the method he governs.

Therefore, it's not that he can't get 50 dans of grain and grass, it's just a matter of time. He knows that if he can use 50 dans of grain and grass to unify the Central Plains, none of his subordinates will have anything Opinions, not to mention rebuttals.

After all, in comparison, such an exchange condition is still very favorable.

What is worrying is only the real situation of this matter.

If you agree to give Cao Cao 50 dans of food and grass, if you have regrets at that time, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Now the state of Wei is short of food, coupled with the loss of troops.

He has enough confidence to seize the land of Wei State and dominate the land of the Central Plains. Although there will be some twists and turns, there will be no risks.

However, it is hard to say what will happen if Wei Jun, who got the food and grass, repents.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army, which has enough food and grass, is no worse than that of the soldiers under his command. It is worth studying the final result.

Seeing that Liu Qi did not give an answer in the first time.

Cao Cao didn't care, nor did he avoid Liu Qi's gaze, and looked at him.

He knew that Liu Qi was thinking about the risks involved, and he himself was also aware of some things. As the king of a country, he was very aware of the difference between a lack of food and an army with enough food.

Thinking about it is not a strange thing.

a while..

"Yes, but the location of the transaction is at Yanmen Pass. After all the soldiers and horses have withdrawn, I will send someone there, how about it?" Liu Qi said.

Although there were certain threats, he still decided to agree.

Risks and opportunities coexist!
After all, Cao Cao has no intention of repenting, so he can save a lot of things for so long, let alone continue to fight, and the Central Plains can be calmed down.

That's all.

It was enough for him to agree and agree to Cao Cao's request.

After all, even he still doesn't want to continue wasting his strength. After fighting for so many years, it should be the end.

Next, is the start of the follow-up plan.

heard.

"I don't have any problems!" Cao Cao said.

He didn't have any objections to Liu Qi's decision, not to mention, after he made the decision, he didn't have any other thoughts.

As long as Liu Qi agrees to his request, trading there will not have much influence on him.

Moreover, he also understood the reason why Liu Qi wanted to trade at Yanmen Pass.

In that way, even if they got 50 dans of grain and grass, they would have other thoughts in their hearts, and there would be no threat.

If you have something to gain, you have to pay for it.

He is still very clear about such things.

As such.

For such a matter, he does not have any opinions, after all, this is his own decision.

Now that you have made a decision, you must go on firmly.

"Unexpectedly, the battle between you and me would end like this!" Cao Cao said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Everything you want is already available.

Now there is nothing that needs to be discussed, the rest is the handover between the two of them, but there will not be too much trouble.

"The world is impermanent, and no one can imagine what the future will look like!" Liu Qi sighed.

He also has many emotions in his heart.

After all, he also would not have expected such a result. You must know that he regards Cao Cao as the most important opponent, but now there is a big change.

The Xiongnu and Karasuma invaded the land of Wei State.

And he also took the opportunity to seize the land of Wu State, and unified the land in the south of the Central Plains. The rest was the land of Wei State controlled by Cao Cao.

The current state of Wei has entered a situation of food shortage and depletion of troops, unable to stop their Han army from attacking.

It is not surprising that Cao Cao was able to make such a decision.

So come on.

The battle between them ended like this.

Cao Cao chose to back down, just like Liu Bei.

"That's true. The world is impermanent. No one can imagine what will happen in the future!" Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with Liu Qi's words.

He is also clear.

No matter what, the development of events and things are not 100% controlled by them.

Even if there is a plan, if there is a slight change, it will affect the direction of the overall situation, which is uncontrollable.

There are no absolutes in everything.

thought here.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qi, raised his teacup, and said, "No matter what, things have come to this point, and it doesn't make much sense to continue to fight. What happens in the future will be determined by time!"

"Let's say goodbye today, we may never see each other again, so I'll offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

"No problem!"

Liu Qi also raised his teacup.

The two looked at each other, and then drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

immediately.

The two looked at each other with a smile, stood up, bowed their hands to each other at the same time, turned and left without looking back, and returned to their respective places with their own guards.
