Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

When Zhou Yu returned to the camp, he only raised his gun to signal Guan Yu from a distance, without saying a word, and without stopping, he led the troops into the camp, ordered the gates of the camp to be closed, and put the whole army on guard.

The purpose of rescuing Guan Yu was to frighten Cao Cao, but last night when the camp was attacked, there were casualties in the army. Even if it was Cao Cao's trick, Guan Yu could not be invited into the camp as if nothing had happened.

Watching the wide-open camp gates slamming shut, and spears protruding from the camp walls, the sharp spear points shining coldly, Guan Yu's army was cheering desperately a moment ago, but then changed It became a momentary commotion, and then the voice completely dropped.

The fierce battle last night is vivid in my mind.

Zhou Yu casually threw the spear into the arms of the soldiers, wiped the blood stains on his face, and went to Li Mu before washing up.

"If my prediction is correct, if Cao Cao misses a hit, he will definitely send someone to discuss the follow-up matters. Brother Laozi and Yixiong will arrange it first. In order to show sincerity, I am afraid that Ah Mu will need to come forward in person." It was Chao Taishici who said. Yes, but his eyes stayed on Li Mu.Seeing that although she looked haggard, she was in good spirits and showed no signs of fright, so she was really relieved, "Guan Yunchang is playing tricks for Liu Bei, and Cao Cao can't be fooled. If someone comes from Cao's camp, he has to wait to catch him." Liu Bei just came, and now I have to pay the bill, and I can sleep for a while."

Li Mu's physical fitness is completely incomparable to theirs. After such a night, every bone in his body is clamoring to lie down and rest. When he heard "sleep for a while", he yawned fiercely on the spot.

So, amidst Tai Shici's helpless forehead support and Zhou Yu's warm smile, she stopped being brave and obediently turned back to the camp to catch up on sleep. All the problems were handed over to the two men closest to her to worry about.

However, none of them thought that Cao Cao was not going to send an envoy to negotiate with Li Mu, but he wanted to meet Li Mu in person.

The envoy who sent the letter stood with his hands down respectfully, with all the courtesy, and the letter he sent was few words, but it was in a candid demeanor, as if he had planned to make Guan Yu fight with them all night without knowing anything about it.

"Put good wine in the Huai River, and wait for the heroes to drink it."

Southerners are good at boats, while northerners are good at horses. Cao Cao has the bravery to ride tigers and leopards, but he took the initiative to set the meeting place on the Huai River where Zhou Yu's navy displayed. Who can say that he is not upright just because of his courage?

If Li Mu doesn't go, while showing weakness to others, it is tantamount to giving up Xuzhou's negotiating power. No matter how Cao Cao asks for the price, as long as they counter the price, or if they take the initiative to ask for the price, Cao Cao can point it out. Lack of sincerity.

And Jiang Dong came to Xuzhou here, in fact, he wanted to create "sincerity" for Cao Cao, in exchange for some benefits that could help Sun Shao gain a foothold.

After several arguments, finally, after Li Mu was sleepy and quarreled, a consensus was finally reached.

In a small boat, Zhou Yu and Li Mu went to the Huaishui River together, under the name of the new brew, and invited Cao Cao to board the boat as a junior.

Cao Cao agreed very readily.

A day later, Li Mu traveled to the banks of the Huai River and boarded a small boat with Zhou Yu.

Cao Jun lined up on the other bank, five thousand tigers and leopards rode black-clothed and black-armored armor, and it was silent and dark, without horns or drums, but exuded an indescribable bravery.The master of a hundred battles does not need to hold a gun or draw a bow. Each rider is the sharpest blade in itself. When gathered together, it has its own piercing aura, which shocks people's hearts, arouses people's blood, and makes them want to retreat.

Holding the oars at the bow of the boat, Zhou Yu slowly rowed out from hundreds of warships.The white sails hang upside down like clouds on the wide water surface, and they form a piece like a huge waterfowl spreading its wings, hunting with flags, fighting like a forest, and surrounded by layers of warships, as if a simple water fortress has been built.

The small boat didn't stop in the middle of the river, but went until it was close to the water bank where Cao Jun's arrows could not shoot, and then dropped the anchor.

At this position, if Li Mu wanted to kill Cao Cao, it would be enough for the generals in the Cao army to arrive before the navy arrived, and if Cao Cao wanted to kill Li Mu, with Zhou Yu around, it would be enough to delay for a while until the navy galloped over to meet him. save.

It's fair.

The small boat had no tent, and there was no room for an ambush. Li Mu also thought about ambush underwater, and defeated Cao in one fell swoop.However, Yuan Shao was powerful at this time, and only Cao Cao could contend with him. If Cao Cao could not go back to fight Yuan Shao safely, the world would belong to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao naturally couldn't tolerate the separatism of the six counties in Jiangdong.

What's more, what she can think of, Cao Cao can definitely think of, the chance of realizing it is too small, if he can't succeed in one blow, there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, Li Mu simply acted as a "hero" who never bullied others.

There was also a small boat galloping towards the shore, and there were two people in the boat, one in front and one behind, the man behind was short in stature with extremely broad shoulders, he looked like a strong hand, while the man in front stood on the bow with his hands behind his back, his chin The next one has a long beard, a straight nose, slender eyes, a crown of hair, and a sword on his waist. Although he is not wearing a military uniform, he is dressed in a majestic killing style, which makes people dare not look at him.

Zhou Yu swayed the horizontal oar lightly, and the boat swayed slightly on the water for half a circle, turned sideways, and was aligned with the opponent's boat string.The two small boats leaned against each other, trembling very slightly, and circles of ripples slowly rippled out from under the boat in all directions.

Li Mu's mood was surprisingly calm when he could see this hero for the first time with his own eyes.I don't know if it's because of Zhou Yuzhuyu's presence. The moment she sees Cao Cao clearly, she still thinks she doesn't look like the cute image in the classic TV series who often stares with a pair of round eyes.

Zhou Yu lightly patted him on the shoulder, and Li Mu stood up to greet him without turning his head, and Yuanyao gave a long salute to the hero: "I've seen Sikong."

Cao Cao is now an official to Sikong, and he is not the Prime Minister Cao who will overshadow the sky in the future. There is still a distance from Cao Wei's claim to the country.

Cao Cao glanced at the side of the ship leaning on one side for a while, then raised his eyes and cast a surprised look at Zhou Yu, then stood up and saluted across the boat: "Mr. Sun."

Li Mu was slightly taken aback by this unfamiliar address.After a pause, he realized that when Sun Ce was named the prefect of the two counties, he had used her as his order. Cao Cao was acting like an official.

The two armies faced each other, one was on the shore and the other was in the water, and the two stretched out their hands to greet each other in front of the crowd, and sat facing each other, each in a boat, each with a small table in front of it, and each on the table. A small jar of wine, plus the two people on the boat, was stuffed to the brim.

It's a pity that it's not the time to pick plums yet, otherwise Li Mu would definitely try cooking wine with green plums - he doesn't care whether he is a hero!

Drinking alcohol is not allowed in the army, this is the iron law of sending troops to battle, so Li Mu just thought about it with great regret.

Cao Cao looked at the two young men in front of him who were not much older than his eldest son and second son, and thought that after Guan Yu's fierce battle to attack the camp overnight, these two people still had the courage to face Chen Jun alone. A dreadful feeling.

I sighed in my heart, and sighed softly on my face: "The scene of fighting Dong Zhuo with Gongtai in the past is like last night, but a few months ago when I joined the army here with Brother Zun, and promised to travel in Jianghuai together in the future, it is even more like What happened just a moment ago, today being able to share the boat and the Huai River with my nephew is half the fulfillment of my thoughts at that time."

Li Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows.Sun Jian challenged Dong Zhuo. He was the only army among the [-] princes who chased Dong Zhuo all the way into Luoyang. Where was Cao Cao at that time?The meeting between Sun Ce and Cao Cao in Xuzhou was basically a negotiation to withdraw from Xuzhou in exchange for benefits, and the premise was that Cao Cao was unable to start a war at that time.

It's as if the Sun and Cao families have been friends for a long time.

Li Mu couldn't help admiring the long beard on his chin—it was not easy to grow such a thick-skinned beard smoothly.

However, all the complaints were made, in front of the menacing tiger and leopard cavalry on the other side, Li Mu's posture was really not high.

Putting Yuan Shu on the side of Yuan Shao caused Yuan Shao's backyard to catch fire and caused Xiao Qiang. Logically speaking, Cao Cao would never reject such a proposal of getting twice the result with half the effort.However, if you really want to say that this proposal has any restraint on him, you can't say it.After all, there was no such thing in history, and Cao Cao still defeated Yuan Shao.

And what Li Mu is betting on now is that Cao Cao cannot predict the result of this inevitable victory like her, so he will inevitably have a little anxiety in his heart when facing Yuan Shao.

In this way, the tension in her heart caused by facing Cao Cao was relieved a lot at once.

Talking with Cao Cao this time, she and Zhou Yu repeatedly discussed the basic bottom line.Xuzhou can give way, but Jingzhou will not retreat.The official Sun Shao wants as much as he can, and he doesn't intervene in the dispute between Yuan and Cao if he can.

In short, since you want to continue Sun Ce's attitude towards Xuzhou, you must continue to give Sun Ce the benefits.The military system of officials and nobles should all be given to Sun Shao.

"I'm sorry for Cao Sikong. When my brother was here, I also talked about Sikong's talent." With a calm and breezy face similar to Zhou Yu's spirit, Li Mu said casually.

However, the phrase "Xiongcai" was too perfunctory and without sincerity. Of course Cao Cao could hear it, and asked straightforwardly, "Oh? I don't know what Bofu said about me?"

"A minister capable of governing the world, a hero in troubled times." Although Li Mu was taken aback by his question, he quickly threw out the most famous comment in later generations, successfully making Cao Cao stand in awe.Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but glanced at Li Mu.The look of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and turned into a little smile. Seeing Cao Cao looking at him again, he nodded calmly to him.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then he smiled heartily: "My nephew conquered Yuan Shu and made great contributions in conquering the rebellion. With such talent, I should be regarded as a capable minister. After I return to Xudu alone, my nephew will be the governor of Shouchun county."

coming!

Li Mu's heart shuddered, knowing that this was the end of the polite greetings, and he was about to start negotiating terms directly.
