The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412
Regarding what he did, after Cao Cao smiled, he never said too much. If Cao Cao didn't say anything, Wei Tao wouldn't ask too much.

At this time, in fact, whether it is for Cao Cao or Wei Tao, this is of no particular significance. Even if he is the emperor of the Liu family, he is no different from a bird in a cage, and he will no longer be released. in my heart.

"sit!"

Cao Cao got off his horse and pointed at the pavilion. Although he had passed the age of "knowing the destiny", Cao Cao's demeanor of being a hero of Cao Cao's generation had not weakened a bit.

Seeing this, Wei Tao was not polite.

Although Wei Tao is not that kind of hypocritical person, but after all, he is also the emperor now, and he will not be a bit cowardly when facing Cao Cao.

There is a pot of wine warming on the charcoal fire in the pavilion, and there are many beautiful green plums beside it, which are obviously just picked from the tree.

"Green plums cook wine and talk about heroes. I think back then that I was very comfortable talking with Brother Meng De. But now, besides Meng De and I, who else in the world can be a hero? What's more, even in the world at that time, the rest How many people are worthy of being called heroes?"

Seeing Cao Cao cooking the wine himself, Wei Tao couldn't help sighing slightly, and said leisurely.

"However, today, it is inevitable for me to fight brother Mengde. I know that my brother's ambition is different from mine, but it is not very different. Although I know it is useless, I still ask my brother to think about it. It is not because of it." The conflict of interests between you and me is to save the entire Central Plains people from this war disaster. As for the king of Wei, I will also agree. And if my brother is really "a martyr in his old age, his ambition is endless", I can make a promise, as long as It is the place where my elder brother opened up, and it is the territory of my elder brother's country, which will not be replaced by hereditary inheritance. I can set up my ancestors' precepts here, stand up for myself, and never take the initiative to attack each other."

"Ziyu! Ziyu! I'm not as good as you!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment and then recovered, but after recovering, Cao Cao pointed at Wei Tao and laughed.

In fact, with Cao Cao's attitude, he was very rude to Wei Tao, no matter what, Wei Tao was also the emperor.

However, facing Cao Cao's attitude, Wei Tao smiled indifferently. If he bowed his knees, then he would not be Cao Cao. What's more, when they met in private this time, Wei Tao also faced Cao Cao as before, not the identity of the emperor. But Cao Cao's descendants.

"Brother Meng De, I used to learn from you in the past, not only learning martial arts from you, but also learning the art of war from you. The reason why I can win consecutive victories in the future and be called the number one general in the world is all because of Brother Meng De. !"

Seeing Cao Cao so free and easy, Wei Tao was quite amazed at the moment.

"If it's possible, I'd really like to help brother Meng De, not to help the big man, but to expel the aliens, so that the people will not suffer from the aliens anymore!"

"Of course I understand Ziyu's meaning. If you can name a country, even if Gaozu is resurrected, you can't do it! Didn't you hear that people who don't have the surname Liu can't be crowned king?"

Cao Cao also stopped laughing at this time, and then he straightened his expression, and what he said was extremely serious.

"However, it is a pity that even if it is so, I still have to say something to Ziyu. This battle must be done!"

Wei Tao was not surprised by Cao Cao's words.

Whether Cao Cao is a hero or a hero, it is impossible to accept other people's charity, even if he knows that Wei Tao is not actually a charity, but for things like Wei Tao that are not much different from charity, the same is true. unwilling to accept.

This is Cao Cao.

"Brother Meng De invited me here because he must have something to talk about. If so, how about asking Meng De to speak frankly?"

Wei Tao remained silent for a long time. Wei Tao couldn't continue talking about what he expected to know a long time ago, so he could only change the topic after a slight silence.

"That's right, it's indeed something important, and it's something that concerns both of you and me."

Cao Cao didn't care a bit about Wei Tao changing the topic, he also smiled, and then spoke directly.

"A battle between you and me is inevitable. Now you and I are the only princes in the whole world, but given the location of your territory, it is not impossible to gather millions of troops. And whether it is your new The dynasty, or the big man I represent, may be far more intense than before in such a war, and I don’t know how many people in the Central Plains will suffer for it. Not to mention, if it is weak because of this, I’m afraid those who just The aliens who are suppressed by you just want to have a different heart. I'm afraid this is what you don't want to see, right?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly and remained silent. Wei Tao naturally knew about these things, and it could even be said that these things were Wei Tao's biggest weakness.

Even in the face of Cao Cao's offensive, Wei Tao is actually unwilling to reduce the border defense, so as not to be taken advantage of by foreign enemies.

But this is Cao Cao's advantage. With Wei Tao's strength being restrained, even if Wei Tao goes to war with Cao Cao, he may only be able to defend, but not be able to attack.

"Could it be that Meng De has softened his heart? But how can there be no harm in marching and fighting? Even if you don't win this time, so what? What's more, as long as you win in the end, how can there be so much fairness?"

Wei Tao couldn't understand what Cao Cao meant for a while, so he just smiled and dealt with it casually, but this is common sense of military strategists, after all, wars are never fair.

"How about I give Ziyu justice?"

But contrary to Wei Tao's expectations, Cao Cao drank a glass of green plum wine first, and then spoke slowly.

"Whether it's Ziyu or me, Cao Cao, they are now located across several states. If it is really possible to use everything, then one side will fight in front, and the other side will send people around to attack. It is difficult to take care of each other, and in the end it is to win."

Wei Tao still didn't understand what Cao Cao said, but he did agree with what Cao Cao said, and he nodded slightly at the moment.

"That's right, that's exactly how it is. The border is very wide, but there are not so many troops guarding it. Speaking of it, I still have to thank Meng De's men for their mercy. Otherwise, send a team of troops to attack You, Bing, Xu, Sili and other places. I'm afraid I will also be in a state of desperation, and it is difficult to defeat Sun Quan and Liu Bei."

"Haha... Then you don't need Ziyu to thank me! If I did this, wouldn't Ziyu follow suit? It's just that you and I know it in our hearts, so we don't listen to it?"

Cao Cao first answered with a smile, and then continued slowly.

"The fairness I'm talking about is that you and I have an army for a decisive battle. Neither side can send reinforcements. If anyone loses, he can directly ask for surrender and hand over the land of each state, not to mention that there is no reason for it. Any slight complaints. I wonder what Ziyu thinks?"

"hiss……"

Wei Tao gasped, he never thought that Cao Cao would make such a suggestion, but Wei Tao didn't dare to respond to such a situation.

Regarding Cao Cao, Wei Tao asked himself that he understood that only heroes can cherish heroes.

But Wei Tao never thought that Cao Cao would say such a thing, no matter how he knew what Cao Cao was thinking, he would be somewhat suspicious at this time.

What is Cao Cao looking for?
"What does Meng De say? Are you making fun of me?"

Now that he talked about business with Cao Cao, Wei Tao naturally had to discuss with Cao Cao according to the business, placing himself and Cao Cao's identities above the other princes.

"Teasing? You should know that I will definitely not do this."

Cao Cao smiled, without any intention of explaining, just speaking directly.

"You and I will each make preparations for March, and then we will fight against the Yuzhou Plain. In this battle, both sides can send 30 soldiers. They cannot send reinforcements, nor can they use food and grass. It all depends on the arrangement between the two sides. If anyone loses, they just admit defeat and surrender without complaining at all. Does Ziyu dare to take the bet?"

This time, Cao Cao directly stated all his plans, and then just stared at Wei Tao with a faint smile without saying a word, so that Wei Tao really didn't understand what he was thinking.

Wei Tao also frowned and watched Cao Cao tightly without answering. These matters are really important, and even Wei Tao himself can't make a decision easily.

For a while, both of them were silent.

"Ha ha……"

After all, Wei Tao was Wei Tao, after a while of silence, he suddenly smiled, very easily, and after the smile, his expression became straight again.

"It's better to blame the world than to let the people of the world blame me. Brother's words are heard in the world, but I don't expect that brother will fight me fairly. Although I don't know what brother thinks, but since brother is interested in this, how can I not?" The reason for the answer? So what should I do? After three months, I will personally lead the army, and I will definitely be able to fight my brother by then!"

Regarding what Wei Tao said, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest hint of calculating success, but just nodded with a light smile, as if he had expected it to be so.

Then Cao Cao didn't wait for Wei Tao to ask any more questions, and directly raised the wine glass in front of him to toast Wei Tao.

"Ziyu, after today, you and I will no longer have brotherhood, only the outcome of the battlefield. How about we drink together after this one cup?"

"Please."

Wei Tao also toasted.

Only this day is for the final peace between Wei Tao and Cao Cao. When we meet again in the future, only the sword is left.

Both of them are heroes, and they don't love each other. After drinking a cup, they laughed together, and then they didn't say a word at all, and they both turned around and left immediately.

From the beginning to the end, neither Wei Tao nor Cao Cao had any plans during this meeting.

But Wei Tao didn't know that before Cao Cao left, he turned slightly to look at him, and then murmured to himself when he turned his gaze back.

"That's good, Ziyu, I hope you can have the opportunity to understand what I'm doing now. If not, I won't show any mercy. When the time comes to help the Han Dynasty and boost my power as a great man, I, Cao Cao, can do it too! "
