Chapter 69 Cao Cao: Brother Xuande, You Are Really Shameless(1/3)
Chapter 69 Cao Cao: Brother Xuande, you are so shameless
Early November.
The cold wind was biting, and the original navy blue sky was covered with a layer of white frost.
The weather was a little gloomy, and the howling cold wind blew against my face, like sharp knives scraping my face.
Cao Jun arrived outside Tancheng, Xuzhou today.
At the same time, the garrison under Liu Bei's command merged with Cao Bao's army that had just arrived for support and lined up outside Tancheng.
The two armies faced each other, and the howling cold wind made the two armies face each other, as if they were filled with a chilling air.
Cao Cao is sitting on a war horse, wearing armor and a dark red cloak fluttering in the wind, which is very conspicuous.
Next to him, Xi Yu was also riding Jueying. He was wearing a Confucian shirt and a dark cloak, which seemed to wrap his whole body in it.
The entire Cao army was ready to attack.
"Could it be that if Xuzhou is given to you, you don't want it?"
The weapons held by the surrounding generals were a little numb. If you look closely, you can see that the hands of the soldiers are a little red.
If Liu Bei could have as much foundation as Cao Cao, he would never be far behind!
While Liu Bei was feeling confused, Cao Bao beside him couldn't help but his heartbeat quickened.
"This land in Xuzhou should belong to me, Cao Cao!" Cao Cao chuckled.
The two looked at each other, and Xi Yu smiled faintly at each other.
"Zhicai, this is the perfect weather for killing people!"
Cao Bao frowned, does Liu Bei still want to negotiate peace with Cao Cao after all his hard work?
The other side's army is coming right in your face. Is that something that can be resolved through negotiation?
Liu Bei originally thought that Zhang Fei was reckless, and it would be bad if he would start a fight if they disagreed with each other.
"Mengde, if the war breaks out, the people here in Xuzhou will surely lose their lives. Mengde, do you insist on killing people suddenly?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao's brows twitched slightly, and at this moment he saw three figures from the opposite army riding out on horseback.
"Speaking of killing, since our Cao army marched into Xuzhou, has anyone ever committed such a massacre without any reason?"
"If brother wants to go, Yu would also like to go and have a look!"
Liu Bei was a little helpless: "I heard that Grandpa Cao is fine now, Mengde has captured dozens of cities in Xuzhou, Tao Shijun has apologized, can't Mengde take a step back?"
Cao Cao smiled at Zhang Fei, and then turned his eyes to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I say goodbye to you from the prison. Cao misses you very much!"
"Tao Qian is old now, and his two sons are mediocre people. Your help to Xuzhou is not for the land of Xuzhou, why?"
The wind above the sky seemed to become a little stronger.
As for Guan Yu, who was standing behind him, his complexion was indeed a little red, a bit like the color of a jujube.
His complexion is like jade, and his ears are indeed bigger, but they are not the kind of special ears that attract people, it's just that the earlobes are a bit big.
The current weather is quite tolerable, but if some time passes, it may be difficult for people to hold weapons.
When Liu Guan and Zhang Xiang fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, it became famous all over the world. At this time, inviting Cao Cao there was somewhat worrying.
Zhang Fei beside him stared, and the Zhangba spear in his hand clenched.
But in this battle, the outcome is unknown!
"General Liu, how should our army act at this time?"
Although he brought the Xuzhou Army several times larger than Liu Bei's, after the reinforcements arrived, Tao Qian asked him to obey Liu Bei's orders.
The soldiers who carry on fighting in temperatures of more than 40 degrees below zero are even more admirable.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang nodded in return, then rode their horses together toward the direction of the formation of the two armies.
If the land of Xuzhou is really given to him, can he refuse it?
Liu Bei was very concerned about having a foundation for development.
It is not that simple to find the three Liu Bei brothers at a glance.
Zhang Fei is not a black-faced figure in later generations, but he has a bit of a beard. On the surface, he is indeed a burly, yellow-faced man with Chinese characters for his face and beard.
When he and Cao Cao formed an alliance, the gap between them was actually not very big.
"Isn't Xuande abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side this time?"
Cao Cao also didn't expect that Liu Bei would have the courage to confront his two armies.
He was a little envious of Cao Cao, who had a much better start than him.
Liu Bei asked Xi Yu eagerly, with a smile on his face.
Liu Bei was just three brothers, and they did not go there with his troops. Presumably they did not surrender to the enemy on the battlefield.
"Could it be that you, sir, are the rumored Xi Yu and Xi Fengyi?"
He and Xi Yu had not fought a single battle since they had sent food. Now that there was a big war, I didn't expect that I would actually have the chance to participate in the war.
Cao Cao sneered: "Xuande, why are you doing this? By helping Xuzhou, aren't you also targeting the land of Xuzhou?"
But now, just a few years later, the lord of Yanzhou has been conquered conveniently, and he has hundreds of thousands of generals under his command. At present, Cao Cao is the only one leading the army, and the other two armies have not yet joined forces.
After all, Cao Bao is the general of the Xuzhou Army. At the moment, he only has the right to command, not control. If the other party gives him face to ask questions, he will naturally give the other party face.
In fact, Dian Wei's appearance is not much different from that of his third brother Zhang Fei. The two of them are almost of the same type.
Six people met in the center.
Zhang Fei was a little cautious and cursed without opening his mouth, so it was appropriate to say this at this time.
Within the military formations on both sides, each other's generals walked out of the military formations. At this time, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked towards the center.
There is something really unusual about this skin tone.
Xi Yu understands that this is the disadvantage of war in the cold weapon era.
Center of the two armies.
Cao Cao sneered and looked at Liu Bei's army in the distance.
Cao Bao couldn't help but ask Liu Bei. In his opinion, it would be too reckless for the entire army to start a war with Cao Cao like this.
"Xuande is still like that!"
"Third brother, you!"
Cao Cao's move was obviously intended to annex the entire Xuzhou. Although he understood, there were some things he couldn't say directly.
But, in the end, he didn't want to start a war directly.
Cao and Liu looked at each other, and then smiled at each other not long after.
Xi Zhicai didn't want to ride on the horse anymore. Now that the army was coming, it was so cold that he wanted to cower on the horse.
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown: "Xuande, I came here this time to avenge my father. This is the righteousness of human relations. Do you insist on stopping me?"
For a moment, the heroic spirit was extremely high.
Cao Cao couldn't help but glance at Liu Bei. Just as he was talking to Guan Yu, Liu Bei actually pulled his Xi Yu and started talking.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao with burning eyes, wondering if there was anything important going on with Mr. Cao now.
He is also looking forward to the legendary Three Taoyuan Brothers.
Liu Bei cupped his hand and said, "Mengde, I invite you here just to persuade you to stop fighting and make peace!"
Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei and felt determined.
Gentle and approachable.
In such a situation, there is such power. If the armies converge, how can Xuzhou resist such power?
In Liu Bei's view, the young man in front of him was like a green pine, standing tall and straight, his broad cloak fluttering in the wind under the biting cold wind.
"Xuande, you and I understand in our hearts that some words should not be wasted!"
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao dismounted, followed closely by Xi Yu and Dian Wei.
Liu Bei sighed, with some emotion in his tone.
"Then Cao Cao, what are you talking about? Is my brother like that?"
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
"Please accompany me to meet with Cao Cao for a while!"
Cao Cao taunted Liu Bei, who didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Cao Cao on the other side quickly received a letter from the envoy on the other side.
Fighting in winter is itself a great test for soldiers. Of course, there are many admirable iron soldiers in later generations.
"Xuande, if you invite me to come and narrate this time, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
