"Talent, talent,,,,,,"

Chen Feng muttered a few words, but others didn't hear clearly.He turned to look at Man Chong, and couldn't help but nodded, as if he admired Man Chong very much.

"There are so many talents under Cao Cao's command. A mere man who is full of favors knows how to choose and retreat, and knows how to advance and retreat. With just a few words, he has the influence to turn the world upside down."

Chen Feng's eyes stayed on Man Chong all the time, as if he wanted to see Man Chong thoroughly and see clearly what was going on in his heart.

"Man Chong, I remember, you are under Cao Cao's command, you can lead the army, and you are also in charge of the government at the same time, not bad, not bad.

There are many outstanding children in the aristocratic family, and it is rare to reach your level. I can't wait to kill you now, lest you cause me trouble in the future. "

Looking at the sneer at the corner of Chen Feng's mouth, Man Chong felt his scalp go numb.This right general has always been known for acting perversely. He just said that he wanted to kill himself, which is probably true.

"However, forget it this time, Man Chong. Next time, if we still have a chance to face each other, you must not fall into my hands. Tell me, what do you want Cao Cao to talk about?"

As if seeing the worry in Man Chong's heart, Chen Feng sneered again, and then changed the topic to business.After a few words, he took the initiative.

"The right general is already unable to win, and continuing to fight fiercely will only lead to emptiness behind you. My lord can't bear the barbarians taking the opportunity to go south, so he allows you to go back.

As long as you compensate our army with [-] war horses, and another [-] stones of food and grass, and hand over Chang'an at the same time, in addition, some of our army's cavalry are trapped in Xiliang, please General You for convenience. "

Man Chong kept staring into Chen Feng's eyes when he raised the conditions, for fear that the other party would get angry, but, to his surprise, Chen Feng listened to Man Chong's request.

"Hahaha, Cao Cao really thought about it, and dared to mention so many conditions, hahaha, I laughed so hard, Man Chong, this could not be a condition you imposed yourself."

After laughing up to the sky a few times, Chen Feng's eyes became sharper, he stared at Man Chong, his eyes showed bursts of murderous intent.

"Uh, this, General You, if you think it's unreasonable, we can talk about it again. Why get angry, what do you think?"

"It's not that I don't have [-] war horses, but I won't give them to Cao Cao for free. As for food and grass, I don't have any, so don't worry about it.

It is impossible for me to give up Chang'an. For this reason, you know better than me. If I hand over Chang'an, what else can I use to defend against Cao Cao.

As for the territory, I still say the same thing. I can admit that the ones that Cao Cao occupies now belong to him. The ones that I occupy are naturally mine. If he is not convinced, I will continue to fight with him until everyone is beaten. until convinced. "

It's not that Chen Feng is unreasonable, but that there are some problems that cannot be discussed.Chang'an must not be handed over. As for Luoyang, he has no objection.

Man Chong also knew that the other party was so smart that he couldn't be fooled by him, let alone give up the benefits he got. The conditions just now were indeed added by him on the basis of Cao Cao.

However, Chen Feng's suggestion is not too far from Cao Cao's bottom line, that is to say, Man Chong has a chance to successfully complete the task this time.

"I don't need to talk about other things for the time being. However, the cavalry of our army trapped in Xiliang, I ask the right general to show your respect."

"The cavalry now has more than ten thousand soldiers, but the wounded accounted for more than half of them. Presumably, the medicines have been exhausted. If they can't be treated in time, most of the wounded soldiers will die.

I don't want them to die just like that, don't worry, I can give them a way to survive, the premise is that Cao Cao wants to retreat. "

Man Chong nodded. Speaking of this today, the task has actually been completed.Both sides have the intention of retreating, but they both refuse to bow their heads.

In fact, Man Chong knows his own difficulties.If this battle is still carried out according to the current situation, I am afraid that most of Cao Jun's elite will be lost here. This is not what Cao Cao wants to see.

"We can discuss the purchase of war horses later, and since General You has no extra food, we don't have to force him.

In order to show the sincerity of our army, and to show the benevolence of General You, you see, can you and I exchange prisoners? After all, both my lord and you love soldiers like children, don’t you? "

"This suggestion is very good. I promise you. Besides, when I was in Liyang, I exchanged prisoners with Cao Cao. Tomorrow, I will exchange the prisoners tomorrow, and then we will discuss in detail the matter of the strike."

"Okay, the right general is straightforward. If that's the case, then it's settled. I hope to have a good talk with the right general tomorrow."

Watching Man Chong and his party leave, Zhao Yun finally relaxed, and the matter was settled, much better than expected.

"Do you really want to retreat, my lord?"

"It's impossible not to retreat, so many people have been forcibly relocated, now is the time to appease, our army can't mobilize many troops, if the fight continues, the best situation is that both sides will suffer.

Moreover, the central Xianbei sent troops, and Bu Dugen wanted to go south to snatch the pasture, I must rush back as soon as possible..."

On the other side, in the Cao camp, Cao Cao also frowned, and retreated for sure, because he also encountered a lot of trouble.

Chapter 503

The confrontation with Cao Cao finally came to fruition. The two sides fought to the death a few times, and there were many casualties. In the end, neither of them had the determination to fight to the end.

After all, neither of them can eat the other, and the fierce battle will only benefit the others in the end.Cao Cao sits in the Central Plains and has so many people under his rule, there is no need to take such a risk.

And the current Chen Feng is also dominant in the north, and has expanded so many territories on the grassland, and has a large population under his rule. He can be regarded as a big family and a big business. Today, he can no longer take risks like a few years ago.

"Cao Cao sent someone to deliver a letter. My lord, Cao Jun retreated fifty miles, which can be regarded as an expression of sincerity. He said in the letter that he hoped to see our sincerity."

Gao Lan walked into the hall and reported the information he just got.Both sides wanted to make peace, but Gao Lan, Chen Feng's most general, did not dare to relax.

"Since this is the case, then we will also withdraw our troops and order Hao Zhao to lead the infantry to escort the wounded soldiers and the rest of the people to Chang'an. The rest of the troops will be on standby for the time being."

Chen Feng nodded, and then looked around, looking at the surrounding scenery. This place used to be the imperial palace, where the emperor rested and worked.

Nowadays, with the decline of Luoyang and the fire that year, no one lives here, and the empty houses look very depressed.

"If we want to restore Luoyang's prosperity, we don't know when we will have to wait until that year. Hehe, we should go too. Next, our focus will be on Chang'an."

Chen Feng seemed to have made up his mind. To be honest, he was still a little bit reluctant to give up Luoyang just like that. The importance of Luoyang is self-evident, but after all, this place has declined and is not suitable for occupation for the time being.

Furthermore, with Luoyang as the center, there is no population within a radius of three hundred miles.Many people in Nanyang were forcibly relocated, and the aristocratic families in the area of ​​​​Hedong were all moved to Chang'an.

It can be said that not only Luoyang, but the east side of Sili is considered empty.As long as Chen Feng leads his army to leave Luoyang, this area will form a vacuum, a no-man's land.

In order to fight against Cao Cao and ensure the safety of Chang'an, Chen Feng had to forcibly create such a no-man's land, so that next time Cao Cao wanted to attack Chang'an, he had to solve many non-war problems first.

"Meng Qi, there should be no more wars here, I know you have a grudge against Cao Cao, but this man is a hero in troubled times, with 20 troops under his command, dominating the Central Plains, killing him is as difficult as going to heaven.

I am very grateful that you led the army to come to support before. I also know that the Ma family was once a famous family in Xiliang. Although it is defeated now, the Ma family will rise again.

Bo Zhan and Ling Ming are loyal to me, have recognized me as their master, and have been loyal to me for more than half a year, but you are different. If you don't want to serve under my command, I can let you go. "

"I,,,,,,"

Ma Chao is a proud and arrogant person. It is actually very difficult to get him to be loyal.As a general, if anyone can defeat him, he will consider allegiance.

But Chen Feng obviously didn't have this ability. Of course, if he dismounted from his horse and lost his weapon and fought hand-to-hand, whether Ma Chao could beat Chen Feng was probably a question.

But now, Ma Chao does not seem to know this.In addition, it was difficult for Ma Chao to find something to convince him from Chen Feng. Therefore, it is very reluctant to say that he is sincerely loyal to Chen Feng now.

"Don't rush to answer, let me talk about my conditions. This time you came to help me, and many soldiers under your command were killed or injured. I can't treat you badly.

If you are unwilling to be appointed under my command, I will compensate you with [-] sets of cavalry equipment and give you another [-] horses. As for your subordinates, if they are willing to leave with you, I will not stop them.

Of course, if you are willing to stay and wait for my orders, you will be in command of your subordinates for the time being. In the future, whether I attack the Western Regions or the Central Plains, I will help you avenge your father's revenge.

In addition, you have to be bound by military discipline, and you must not make mistakes. Under my command, all promotions are based on military exploits. Think carefully about how to choose. "
