Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 722
Nothing happened.

After Cao Ren came out, explained the time set by Cao Cao, and got Liu Qi's reply.

Nothing happened between the two parties, and they passed the day very peacefully, non-aggressive and peaceful, as if they both ignored the existence of the other party.

Night falls.

Whether it was above Hulao Pass or the simple tents built by the Han army, fires were lit, illuminating everywhere.

Even on the small hillside, fire plates were lit around it, illuminating the entire hillside, even if it was far away, it could be seen clearly.

Liu Qi, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan all sat in the main tent, waiting.

Shortly after.

A blood-clothed guard came in from outside the tent, cupped his hands at Liu Qi and said, "Report, Wei General Cao Ren is here to see you!"

coming!

Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Let him in!"

"promise!"

The blood-clothed guard responded and withdrew.

from time to time.

Then he saw Cao Ren walking in from outside the tent.

"I have seen Emperor Han, my lord is already waiting for Emperor Han's arrival on the hillside!" Cao Ren said straight to the point.

Up to now.

There is nothing to worry about, it needs to be said too much, so it is the most clear thing to directly explain the purpose of coming, and he also doesn't like to procrastinate.

"So, let's go together!" Liu Qi nodded.

After finishing speaking, he also stood up from his seat, put his hand on the saber at his waist, and walked out of the tent.

He came here just to see Cao Cao, as for other things, he didn't have time to pay attention to too much, and at the same time he wanted to get an accurate answer from Cao Cao.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here in person.

Seeing Liu Qi's actions.

Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan also stood up from their seats, followed Liu Qi, and walked out of the tent.

Cao Ren followed suit.

A group of people walked out of the main account, and outside the main account, dozens of blood-clothed guards gathered, and this was the number of people Liu Qi was going to take with him.

The hillside is not far from the camp.

Walking on foot does not require any time. ,

soon.

Liu Qi led a group of people to the hillside, and saw Cao Cao was the only one in the simple shed, with a table in front of him, and Cao Cao was still boiling tea.

On the other side of the hillside, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, Xu Chu, was guarding with dozens of soldiers.

Cao Ren, who came with Liu Qi, also bowed his hands to Liu Qi at this time, and then walked towards where Xu Chu was.

Liu Qi looked at Cao Cao in the simple shed, his eyes flashed.

Then he waved to Dian Wei and the others, telling them to stop here and wait, and walked towards the simple shed alone.

Cao Cao didn't bring anyone in, so he wouldn't bring anyone in. He still had courage, and he was no worse than Cao Cao.

Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan, also with dozens of blood-clothed guards, stayed where they were, with their hands on their weapons, staring closely at Xu Chu, Cao Ren and other Wei troops opposite.

same.

Xu Chu, Cao Ren and other Wei Jun also stared closely at Dian Wei and the others.

"It's been a long time, you and I have already sat in such a position, but it always feels like it's just passed!"

Watching Liu Qi step into the shed.

Cao Cao spoke first, with a lot of emotion in his tone.

"Time is like water, brother Mengde, why worry about these things!" Liu Qi laughed.

Immediately, without any politeness, he sat down opposite Cao Cao.

"Liu Xiandi, it's been a long time since you've been called this way?"

Hearing Liu Qi's address.

Cao Cao was also taken aback for a moment, and then asked back with a smile.

"Brother Meng De, why do you and I care so much? Although we can't help ourselves, how could we not be clear about it!" Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know why Brother Meng De made such a decision?"

He also asked out the doubts in his heart.

Cao Cao smiled, and didn't answer immediately, but took the teacup, filled it with boiled tea, put a cup in front of Liu Qi, picked it up himself, blew on it, and took a sip.

Only then did he put down the teacup in his hand, and asked back: "Liu Xiandi, do you think I still have a chance?"

Liu Qi didn't say much, but shook his head slightly.

Cao Cao didn't care about it, and continued: "Anyway, what Liu Bei can do, I can do the same, but there are some differences!"

Speaking of it.

A gleam of memory flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Liu Xiandi, do you remember this place? Ever since Emperor Dong Zhuo narrowed his command to the feudal lords, the lords of the world have raised troops to fight against the thieves. The scene at that time, until now, is still like yesterday!"

"At that time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, Kong Rong, etc., the eight princes, gathered heroes from all walks of life in the Central Plains. Man-made, until now, in the land of the Central Plains, only you and me are left!"

"For many years, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others have all died for many years!"

"After fighting for so many years, I also feel a little tired, and now facing you, I have no chance of winning. I don't want to let my subordinates who have followed me for a long time die in vain. It is not surprising to be able to make such a choice!"

Finished speaking.

Cao Cao also looked at Liu Qi with a firm look in his eyes.

"There are many things that cannot be decided by you and me. Since we have embarked on this road, we will either stand to the end or become a stepping stone for others, that's all!" Liu Qi sighed, "But brother Mengde can do it. With such a decision, I can still believe it!"

"But based on the current situation at Hulao Pass, if I want to keep Brother Meng De, it will not be difficult for me. It is not impossible to use Brother Meng De as a bargaining chip to completely control Wei!"

Liu Qi also stared at Cao Cao closely, his eyes were shining brightly.

heard.

Cao Cao smiled, shook his head and said, "Even so, I want to die, but you can't stop me!"

The two also stared at each other, speechless for a while.

a while..

"Haha~!"

Both Liu Qi and Cao Cao laughed at the same time.

"I don't know where Brother Meng De wants to go?" Liu Qi asked.

He had already got the answer he wanted, and it was also the most ideal answer, so there was no need to think about it for a long time and make any mishaps.

"Don't know yet?" Cao Cao shook his head.

Although a decision has been made, as for the future, I really haven't thought about it.

"I drove out the Xiongnu and Karasuma for you for more than a hundred miles, and you gave me 50 dans of food and grass, so that the soldiers and horses who were willing to leave with me can evacuate safely, half a month at most, how about it?" Cao Cao said.

This was the main reason why he still invited Liu Qi after he made a decision, and it was also the most important point.
