New Lubu War

Chapter 208

that day.

Facing the [-] Bingzhou Army, Cao Cao did not choose to flee.

Can't run away!

When people are tired and horses are exhausted, they can't run far, not to mention how long can they run without food in the army?

How to run?
Where are you going?
If you really want to run, at most one or two days, the army will mutiny and the soldiers will flee!

This is also why, in the original time and space, in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with less and more, but he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Although Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost his generals, his vitality was greatly damaged, but Cao Cao was almost at the end of his life!

We have to wait for Yuan Shao to die of illness, his sons to scramble for power, internal discord, and himself to recover before going to war again.

It took Cao Cao seven years to truly unify the north after the Battle of Guandu!

To put it simply, when the Battle of Guandu just ended, both Yuan and Cao were powerless to fight again!
Therefore, when the [-] menacing Bingzhou cavalry army appeared, Cao Cao could not resist at all.

But Cao Cao still wanted to fight.

I will not mention whether you are arrogant or not when you win. When the situation is unfavorable, Cao Cao will not be easily discouraged.

How can you say that there are hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, how can you capture them without a fight?
That's not Cao Cao's style.

Just when Cao Cao vowed to fight against the river, a letter written by Lu Bu was sent to him.

'Try to hear, Cao Gongmengde, known as 'capable ministers governing the world, treacherous ministers in troubled times' said.

I thought otherwise.

When a man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword to make an invincible feat!
Conquering the Yellow Turban, destroying Yuan Shu, and destroying Yuan Shao, with a heroic appearance and a strategy of civil and military affairs, Meng De lived up to the ambition of a man.

Singing to wine, how much life is like: like morning dew, the past days are full of bitterness.

Bu Su loves heroes, and Meng De's heroic demeanor wins my heart.

In the old days outside the city of Luoyang, I once said, 'Bu Ping is not good at fighting, but he is good at solving fights'.

The same is true today.

It has been sixteen years since the Yellow Turban Bandit began, the court was uneasy, the world was in turmoil, and the feudal lords conquered.

The people suffered greatly from the war and were displaced, their bones were exposed in the wild, and no rooster crowed for thousands of miles.

Bushi couldn't bear it.

Therefore, the dispatch of troops this time is still "stop swords, stop fighting"!
The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and the common people think of peace. Why don't Gong and Bu work together to eliminate the war, create great achievements together, and restore the world to a bright world and peace in the universe?

Generosity should be regarded as generosity, unforgettable worry.

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.

But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

All the above words are from the bottom of my heart.

If Mengde returns, he must not underestimate it, let alone doubt it!

Yo Yo Lu Ming, the Ping of the Wild Food.

I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.

Mountains never get too high, and waters never get too deep.

Bufei is for his own sake, for the peace of the world, and the peace of the universe. Therefore, we sincerely invite Meng De to come back!

The bright moon represents my heart.

A pot of turbid wine is only for public drinking. '

After reading this letter, Cao Cao was so excited that he couldn't let it go for a long time.

In the letter, there are gorgeous rhetoric and neat sentences, but there are also crude and confusing words.

With Cao Cao's literary accomplishment, he can tell at a glance that this letter seems to be quite literary, but in fact it is of average level, or even unbearably poor.

unimportant!
Cao Cao is not a person who looks at the surface.

What he valued was his understanding, approval, and approval of him shown in the letter.

"When a man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword and make great achievements in the world"

That's right, I've been hiding my whole life, isn't that what I want to do?
Cao Cao has always disagreed with the phrase "a capable minister in governing the world, but a treacherous minister in troubled times".

Many people in the world think that he is "coercing the emperor to command the princes" because he is plotting against the law and harboring different intentions.

However, "the day when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time"!
It didn't happen, so why slander me?

Cao Cao asked himself, he never wanted to usurp the throne.

What he really wants to do is Duke Zhou!

Of course, it's one thing to think about it, but another thing is the real situation. When he really becomes the Duke of Zhou, he will naturally find that many things cannot be controlled by himself.

This is not mentioned.

At the beginning of the letter, with just a few words, Cao Cao gained great recognition.

Of course, the words in it are quite suspicious of relying on the old and selling the old. With Cao Cao's current status, there are almost no ones who dare to speak to him in such a tone.

Even Yuan Shao is not qualified!
But not Lu Bu.

Compared with Cao Cao, Lu Bu became famous many years earlier.

After the crusade against the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao only emerged, but Lu Bu was so powerful in Jiuyuan that the barbarians in the thousands of miles of grassland were frightened.

When he was attached to He Jin and served as one of the eight lieutenants of the Dianjun, Lu Bu's name as the "God of War" had spread throughout the world.

When Cao Cao begged for perfection and pretended to submit to Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu was the left general above the Jiuqing, the first marquis under the rank, and the Marquis of Guannei.

When he issued a call to action, calling on people all over the world to challenge Dong, he was only one of the eighteen princes, and he was not very conspicuous.

However, Lu Bu led his army to defeat the [-] Hun cavalry and completely defeated the Hulu in the north. The name of "God of War" was like thunder.

After discussing Dong, Cao Cao was no more than the prefect of Dongjun, but Lu Bu was in charge of the military and horse power in the world, and he was a mighty general who ruled the seven states of Bing, You, Ji, Qing, Yan, Xu, and Henan in name.

Even now, he, the Great Sima above the Three Lords, is half a chip inferior to Lu Bu's Great General!

In view of this reason, the old-fashioned, slightly above-the-bottom tone in the letter did not displease Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was not the one who ruled the world, pacified the Central Plains, conquered Chibi, and compared himself to the Duke of Zhou.

The mentality has not reached the peak, so it will not allow others to be stronger than him.

Therefore, when I saw the recognition of myself in the letter, I sincerely invited him, and repeatedly emphasized "not thin" and "no doubt".

Cao Cao's heart was shaken.

Being in a difficult situation is when the mind is at its weakest.

Even Cao Cao was shaken by such a touching letter.

The letter did not promise anything.

However, with their status, they said that promises are actually inferior.

The key is sincerity!
Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu recognized him, and his sincerity to him was enough.

If he really wanted to make any promises to him, such as retaining the position of prime minister and retaining the old department, Cao Cao was suspicious.

Of course, there is also the grandeur and arrogance shown in the letter!
"What a 'mountains never get too high, and waters never get too deep'!"

Putting away the letter, Cao Cao looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

Seeing people through words is what Cao Cao is good at.

As the saying goes, writing is like a person.

Articles and poems written by a person will inevitably reflect his character, feelings, and heart.

From this sentence, Cao Cao sees a great sage who has the world in mind, has lofty aspirations, and has the universe in mind.

"Why don't you and Bu work together to eliminate wars and chaos, create great achievements together, and restore the world to a bright world and peace in the universe?" '

Open the letter and read the sentence again.

His eyes flicked over the surrounding counselors one by one, but the scene outside Luoyang City that day emerged in Cao Cao's mind.

The allied armies of the princes were all mobs. Although they defeated Dong Zhuo, they could not be the opponents of the [-] elite Bingzhou cavalry.

Especially Lu Bu alone can stop millions of soldiers!

At that time, if Lu Bu put his heart into it, he could have called the crying fathers of the Eighteenth Route princes a wolf and walked away in embarrassment.

But Lu Bu didn't do that.

On the contrary, after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, he led his troops away angrily.

"Although Lu Bu was brutal and bloody towards the barbarians on the grassland, he never committed any crime against the Han people!"

"It is said that over the years, the people of Bingzhou have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life, all thanks to the good governance!"

"Such a capable person, with such a broad mind, I, Cao Mengde, will follow, and it's not shameful!"

Thinking secretly, Cao Cao looked at the Bingzhou sergeant who came forward to deliver the letter, cupped his hands and said:
"Please report back to General Lu, I wish to surrender!"
