There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, it seems most suitable for the potter to let these two people go.

Soon after the potter's order was issued, General Hengjiang Lu Su arrived in Pengcheng.

The pottery merchant arranged for Lu Su and Zhuge Liang to meet, and told them both of their mission to Xuchang this time, and asked them to plan carefully how to deal with Cao Cao and his team of advisers.

In the dark, there seemed to be a mysterious force pulling it. After Lu Su met Zhuge Liang, he felt a little like old friends at first sight.

Although these two people are very young, they are both wise men in the world, and they seem to have some similarities in character.

A little bit of opposites attract.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to appreciate each other, Tao Shang felt relieved.

So, this duo envoy to Xuchang was decided.

……

From Pengcheng to Xuchang, whether it's close or far, it will take several days to drive fast.

After receiving the order, the two set off lightly and without any delay in speed.

After Xuzhou's envoys entered Yuzhou, they were naturally passed back to Cao Cao's ears by spies.

Cao Cao could figure out the reason why the potters sent envoys with their toes.

Yuan Shao ruled Hebei, and the Southern Expedition was imminent, and the general situation of the world was about to undergo earth-shaking changes. At this time of crisis, the idea of ​​potters wanting to unite themselves to tide over the difficulties naturally couldn't be hidden from Cao Cao.

It depends on whether he wants to agree.

Rationally speaking, Cao Cao also knew that joining forces with pottery merchants was the best way for him to survive, but he was a little bit reluctant.

The main reason is that the little calf is too annoying.

After the envoys of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao abided by the etiquette and summoned the two envoys in person.

Of course, Cao Cao was accompanied by his brain trusters: Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Dong Zhao, Man Chong and so on.

Seeing Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Cao Cao immediately asked: "Your pottery merchant and I are enemies. You Xuzhou and Yangzhou and our Central Plains have never been on good terms and have never had any contact. Today, the pottery merchant sent you here." Seeing someone, I'm afraid they may not have very good intentions."

Among the two, Lu Su is the elder, so he should be regarded as the chief envoy.

He stepped forward, bowed to Cao Cao, and said: "My lord, Tao, is honest and honest, and the behavior of a gentleman is admired by everyone in the world! There was some misunderstanding with Sikong in the past, and now I have sent us two as envoys to come here." I pay my respects to Sikong, I hope that the two families will live in peace and never fight, and they will form an alliance forever, with sincerity, and hope that Sikong will not reject people thousands of miles away."

After finishing speaking, he presented the gift list and said: "This is a small gift prepared by the Taifu, please have a look at it, Sikong."

Cao Cao ordered Dianwei to take the gift list for him, scanned it roughly, and then said: "Besides these gifts, does the pottery merchant have any other words or things for you two to bring for me?"

Lu Su was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and wondered, "Sikong is referring to...?"

Cao Cao drew circles in the air with his hands, and suddenly his face looked somewhat embarrassed.

"It's similar to a novel, a sequel to the character spectrum...it's best something written by your master himself."

Lu Su and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, not knowing why.

The person surnamed Cao must have something wrong with his head, right?

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a while, then suddenly came to his senses,

He took out a slip of slips from his sleeve, and said: "When the teacher came, he didn't prepare what Sikong said, only a letter written by him, saying that there were a few private words, and he asked Sikong to read it personally. Not to be disassembled."

When Cao Cao heard that it was written by the potter himself, he suddenly regained his energy and hurriedly asked people to show it.

There is not much content, only three paragraphs, the first paragraph that catches the eye is:

"I'm sorry, there is no little book you want to read, brother Meng De. Tao is in the process of being serialized, and the book has not been finished yet."

Cao Cao's joyful expression suddenly sank.

Continue to read, but see the following paragraph continues to write: "I also sent the things, I also sent the messenger, don't pretend to be arrogant, and join me quickly! That old bastard Yuan Shao drove the troops south, you think you can do it alone? Can you resist it? Just pretend to be reserved, and let's finish playing together later."

Cao Cao's eyes hurt from looking at it, and while he was thinking about how to deal with it, he continued to look helplessly...

The last paragraph of the article is: "Don't be guessing! You have no other choice but to join forces with me! If you don't hesitate, I will transfer all the troops from Xuzhou and Jiangnan to tell you about it! Everyone will die together as a group."

Cao Cao's face turned green with anger, and he threw the letter directly on the table.

He squinted at Zhuge Liang, pointed at the bamboo slips on the table, and said in a strange way: "This is the alliance document written by your family's grand master? With this content, he still expects Cao to be able to reconcile with him?"

Zhuge Liang was also at a loss when he saw that Cao Cao changed his face when he said he would change his face.

What did the teacher write in the letter?

"Sikong, Liang also doesn't know the specific content of the letter... Is there something wrong?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, showing a bitter smile,

He could see that Zhuge Liang really didn't know the contents of the bamboo slips... This is the usual routine of the kid surnamed Tao!

This is the first time Cao Cao has seen such a strong alliance letter in his 40s.

How awesome!

"Cao Mou knows all about your master potter's...sincerity, but his intention to join forces with Cao Mou is nothing more than to fight Yuan Shao. This matter is very serious, and Cao Mou needs to carefully consider it."

Lu Su heard the words and said: "Yuan Shaohu is in Hebei, aiming to unify the Central Plains. Could it be that Sikong thinks he can take care of himself alone?"

Xun Yu on the side stood up first, and said: "Hebei Yuan Gong, I had a small battle with your family Taifu Tao in Qingzhou earlier, and I have formed a grudge. Cao Sikong and General Yuan have been like brothers and sisters for 20 years. With the friendship of colleagues, how can we let Tao Taifu just say a few words and swing a knife at an old friend?"

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan, stepped out, and bowed to Chief Xun Yu: "Student Zhuge Liang, named Kong Ming, met Mr. Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and wondered, "You child, how do you know me?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Although Liang has been honored by Mr. Tao's kindness, he has also received many pointers from Mr. Guo on weekdays. Mr. Guo once described the appearance of the friends in Yingchuan to Liang, so he knew him."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

Xun Yu looked Zhuge Liang up and down carefully for a while, and said, "Have you received Guo Fengxiao's advice? Have you been crowned?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It was just completed at the beginning of this year."

Xun Yu said with emotion: "It's interesting, that kid Guo Fengxiao can teach others? I'd like to see how capable the people he brought out are! Tell me your high opinion."

Zhuge Liang said word by word: "Mr. Wen Ruo just now used the past friendship between Yuan Shao and Cao Sikong to discuss the short and long of today. In Liang's view, it is really a pedantic theory. Don't you hear that 'one who does not plan for the overall situation is not enough to plan for it? One domain; those who do not plan for eternity are not enough to plan for a time' Mr. As the mastermind of the Central Plains, he needs to have a long-term perspective, and judge the world's situation based on the current situation. Why do you entrust Cao Gongzhi's foundation on the old friendship? And Cao Gong When you have a good relationship with Yuan Shao, can you see it with your own eyes? Yuan Shao’s love for Duke Cao is real or not, how can you infer it?”

Xun Yu laughed loudly, nodded and said, "It's a bit like Guo Fengxiao, young man, this tongue is outrageous."

Xi Zhicai, the most resourceful, stood up and said: "Since Kong Ming talked about it based on the current situation, then I will ask you based on the current situation. Now that Yuan Shao occupies Hebei, he has a large number of troops, sufficient food and grass, and Liu Biao as his wing. Let me ask you." Cao Gong and Tao Taifu join forces to fight against Yuan, how can they block the attack from the north and the south?"
