Brother Meng Dewu, he met his words as if he was like a face:

I have known everything about my nephew. Although I feel regretful, what you and I have fought for this time is not a city and a land, but in the name of orthodox, so-called...

In Xingyang, after Ye Zhao arrived in Luoyang, Cao Ang's body had been ordered to inform Lu Bu to return it to Cao Cao. At the same time, Ye Zhao personally wrote a letter to someone to send it to Cao's camp.

In Cao Ang's mourning hall, Cao Cao silently read Ye Zhao's letter. The general idea was that your son died. I was very sorry. Although it was my son who killed him, we are fighting now and we are never tired of deceit. What's more, your son went to Nanyang and had no good intentions. You and I are both people who do great things, but just a son died. Brother Mengde, don't mind it. Otherwise, tomorrow, I will set up a table of vegetarian wine in Guoting outside Xingyang City. Please come, Brother Mengde, how about you and I get rid of your grudges when you get drunk?

Cao Cao stood up expressionlessly. Under the worried eyes of the civil and military officials under the tent, he curled the letter paper in his hand into a ball bit by bit. He moved very slowly, but he tried very hard. A piece of paper was rubbed by him and made constant noises. Then Cao Cao threw it to the ground hard. His originally cold face became ferocious, and he roared loudly outside the mourning hall: "Ye Xiuming, you are too bullying!"

Cao Cao seemed to have become ten years old all of a sudden. Looking at the gloomy sky outside the mourning hall, a few traces of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he said in a stern manner: "Transfer our military orders and order troops to go to war tomorrow!"

"Lord!" Xun You's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and said, "Don't raise troops in anger. This is Ye Zhao's method of agitating the generals, so you should not be reckless!"

Cao Cao gasped hard and said, "Angry? Of course I am angry. I am not angry about my son's death. I am only angry about Ye Xiuming's old love. At this moment, he still wants to anger me with letters and inspire me to fight. I have been in a good life since the middle age. It has been twenty years since he was a good person! He has not even thought about the old love! At this moment, he is thinking about only the winner and the defeat, but no affection!"

"Since the lord knows that Ye Zhao is angry, he should not fall into his treacherous plan." Xun You supported Cao Cao and advised him hard.

"No, I must go and meet him for a while!" Cao Cao took a deep breath again and smiled, "I want to see if he, Ye Xiuming, is really so cold and ruthless!"

Twenty years of acquaintance and friendship for more than ten years. Even when he was in Hulao Pass, Ye Zhao had already said that he and Cao Cao were just using their relationship. Cao Cao was just a chess piece of Ye Zhao. However, after Ye Zhao entered Sichuan, Cao Cao still regarded him as a close friend. Even if he had a fight on the battlefield, Cao Cao also regarded Ye Zhao as a friend who could kill the other party with a smile. However, Ye Zhao's letter made Cao Cao angrily rush to the top of the bull. Since Ye Zhao invited him to meet, Cao Cao would go to see him. He wanted to see how cold-blooded the other party would be.

Cao Cao was undoubtedly impulsive at this moment. After thinking about it, he felt a little regretful and sweating. However, Cao Cao's reason has been weakened to an extremely low level by anger. It is not difficult to understand that it is already sad to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. At this time, his former friend and now his enemies and friends sent letters to ridicule him. How could Cao Cao not be angry?

The next morning, Cao Cao ordered his troops out of the city and headed to Guoting.

This Guoting is more than thirty miles away from Hulao Pass, but it is only ten miles away from Xingyang.

But when Cao Cao led his army out of the city, Ye Zhao's army had already arrived near Guoting. From afar, you could see Ye Zhao actually had a banquet outside Guoting, sitting there bored and drinking.

Behind Ye Zhao, Dian Wei stood like an iron tower, and there was a scholar beside him, sitting next to Ye Zhao.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, turned his head to Xu Chu behind him and said, "Zhongkang, follow me."

"Lord, think twice!" Xun You looked at Cao Cao helplessly.

"Why don't I dare to come to this?" Cao Cao snorted coldly and walked straight to Ye Zhao's direction.

Xun You had no choice but to let Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals prepare at all times. If any incident occurs, he can rescue Cao Cao as soon as possible.

Outside Guoting, Ye Zhao took a sip of wine, looked at Cao Cao who was coming with a dark face, and his eyes stopped on Xu Chu behind him for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"Why don't you come if you invite me?" Cao Cao bit the word "old friend" very seriously.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at Cao Cao seriously, sighed, poured a cup of wine for Cao Cao, and sighed: "If that's not the case, the day when you and I meet again is probably the time to eliminate life and death. Therefore, he can only use this method to invite Meng De to come and talk, so that there will be no one to send him off when one of you and I will leave in the future."

"Today is not the time to determine life and death?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer.

"It shouldn't be, the time has not come." Ye Zhao shook his head: "There will be a victory or defeat in this battle, but life and death may be determined. You and I should know that no one can swallow the other party in one bite. At this moment, no matter I kill you or you kill me, there is no benefit for this world. It will only cause the world that is gradually calming and will cause further setbacks."

"The world?" Cao Cao sneered and picked up the wine cup, and drank it all over and said, "It's true that the situation in the world is still so cold and thin. The situation in the world has come to this moment. I, Cao Cao, are you still a chess piece in your hand today?"

"Of course not." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "The situation has been completed. No matter who you and me will win in the end, the rise of all families has been completed. Now the rest is to return the world as soon as possible and return the world to peace."

"It's so hard for you to suppress the scholar!" Cao Cao snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll invite Meng De to come today just to reminisce about the past. After talking about the world for so many years, I'm a little tired of it. If I don't talk about this, I'm really sad." Ye Zhao raised the wine cup and smiled at Cao Cao, "It's really a waste of resources to drink the wine tributed by the Western Regions like you are so chewing peonies."

"Sad? Why can't I see it?" When talking about Cao Ang, a murderous intent flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. How could the pain of losing his son be exposed so easily?

"Otherwise, what? Wear mourning, crying and beating my rebellious son. Will you believe this?" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and shook his head.

"At least I will feel better." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Meng De, have you ever thought about surrendering to me?" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and suddenly asked, "With your current momentum, if we join forces, we may create a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages!"

"Then why didn't you surrender to me?" Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"I'm better than you." Ye Zhao said naturally.

"It's quite a tone!" Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Why are you confident about the war? In terms of population and military strength, how do you compare with me?"

Although Ye Zhao is now dominating the four prefectures, Bingzhou and Xiliang are originally desolate places. Guanzhong is a rebellious rebellion, and the population does not prosper, while Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all large-capacity prefectures, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are rich in food and grass, and Jizhou needs to be said to be, in terms of population, Cao Cao suppresses Ye Zhao. In this era of cold weapons, population means war potential.

"The account cannot be calculated like this... Forget it, I invite you to come today, just to reminisce about the past. Let's meet again before you and I will defeat you in the future, so as not to be hit by a ravage when I defeat you in the future, and you will not even be able to see you for the last time."

"Don't worry, Cao is very tough. If you die, I will not die!" Cao Cao's face turned dark and he said without giving in at all.

"I've left, and the waste from Yuan Gaolu has also left. Now, there are only you and I who are heroes in the world. Why do you and I just want to show off your verbal benefits?" Ye Zhao took a sip of wine and looked at Cao Cao and said, "I heard that you have given birth to several sons?"

"Not too much for you." Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and said, "You brought so many people out of the city, won't you really just want to meet me, right?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and smiled, "If you hadn't inspired you with faith and be so cunning, how could you come over easily?"

"What else?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and sneered: "You, Ye Xiuming, have never been able to get up early without profit. Now that I come to tell me about these things, I don't look like you."

"It is the main thing to see you, and of course, there are other things," Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer: "Let me guess, since Lu Bu has agreed to marry you, but with Lu Bu's personality, you obviously can't rest assured, so you want to take this opportunity to merge Lu Bu's troops and territory first?"

"Meng De is indeed my confidant." Ye Zhao smiled: "Meng De should know that this Hulao Pass is so majestic. With this Pass, you can't beat him. Why not stop the army for the time being?"

"Wait for two years, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight. If I don't take advantage of this, it will be hard to suppress my hatred!" Cao Cao sneered.

"I'm afraid you will regret it!" Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "The little lion in Jiangdong has been restless recently. I have ordered someone to go and promise Sun Quan's position as the prefect of Guangling. Why don't Meng De go back and take a look?"

Cao Cao was half right, and Ye Zhao did want to merge Lu Bu first, but since Ye Zhao wanted to take action, he not only wanted to swallow Lu Bu. Since Nanyang took it, why not take Jingzhou with the flow? If he could win Jingzhou, Ye Zhao could make up for the population shortcomings.

"Although Shi'er is brave, the prefect of Guangling Chen Deng is not easy to go to. Shi'er may not be able to go to Guangling, let alone..." Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and sneered: "You may not be able to get all the land in Nanyang."

"It seems that Meng De still wants to fight me." Ye Zhao said with some regret: "Aren't Meng De afraid that I will kill you?"

"Hmm?" Xu Chu glared at him and took a step forward.

"What are you doing?" Dian Wei snorted coldly, and also took a step forward, confronting Xu Chu in a tit-for-tat way.

"If these two people fight, it is afraid that it will be difficult to decide the outcome." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and smiled: "If Meng De died, although the Central Plains will be in chaos, some people will take advantage of the situation, but I will still benefit the most."

"I'm so good at practicing swordsmanship, how could Cao not know?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao, and a crossbow bucket shook out from his sleeve and pointed it at Ye Zhao.

Almost at the same time, Ye Zhao took out a small crossbow and pointed it at Cao Cao.

Looking at Cao Cao's actions, Ye Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Meng De, you have learned bad things."

"This crossbow was cast by me for a master. It contains 18 crossbow arrows. Although it cannot be far away, it can penetrate iron armor within ten steps and is highly poisonous. No matter how powerful Xiuming is, it will be difficult to escape death." Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and said sternly: "You and I have been together for twenty years. Cao Cao asked himself about his habits of Xiuming."

"Forget it!" Ye Zhao sighed, stood up and said to Cao Cao, "Since that's the case, it seems that you and I can only try the best on the battlefield."

"It's just that." Cao Cao also stood up and said.

"Today, we are all here. It's better to fight with each other, so Meng De can give up." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.

"That's the point." Cao Cao said while retreating.

"Meng De." After each withdrew from the safe distance, Ye Zhao suddenly said: "For the matter of a virtuous nephew, let's be sad. If Zheng'er dies, I'm probably as angry as you."

"Goodbye!" Cao Cao didn't say anything, turned around and left with a calm face.

"Let's go!" Ye Zhao waved to Dian Wei and Guo Jia, glanced at Cao Cao, took a deep breath and said, "Prepare for the battle!"
