Chapter 180
Cai Mao sent Liu Biao's order to the city of Xinye.
Unexpectedly, Cao Peng actually came out in person to negotiate with him.
The negotiations are located in the center of the confrontation between the two armies.
In such a place, both parties are at ease and their leader is negotiating with each other.
Cai Mao originally received an order to redeem people, so the negotiations were naturally more beneficial to him.
But what happened in the camp was beyond his expectations.
"General Cai, our first meeting is just a 1 o'clock gift. Please accept it!"
Cao Peng smiled and pushed a box towards him.
Cai Mao looked at the box of gold that Cao Peng pushed over, his eyes lit up.
"General, what do you mean?"
Cao Peng smiled and said, "General Cai, everyone is smart. Do you have to say it too clearly?"
"Prime Minister Cao will soon lead an army of 100,000 to the south. Do you think Liu Biao can stop it?"
Cai Mao was silent, and this was the problem he was most worried about.
Liu Biao was already old and had only one Jingzhou territory. How could he have the ability to resist Cao Cao's army?
The preparation was almost done, Cao Peng said straight to the point.
"General Cai, good birds choose trees to live in. If we can help us take Jingzhou, I will guarantee you to be the commander-in-chief of the navy at that time!"
Cai Mao almost thought Cao Peng was blowing him up, so he began to circle around with Cao Peng.
After a few quizzes, I found that Cao Peng was serious.
Cai Mao couldn't help but sigh that God treated him well.
After the two met, Cao Peng said, "General Cai, prepare well, I will guarantee you a great contribution!"
"In this way, General Cao will say a few good words to me in front of the Prime Minister!" Cai Mao bowed and said.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "A small matter is a little, why be polite."
Everything afterwards became very simple, and Cai Mao and Cao Peng performed a play.
Cao Peng asked for an expensive ransom.
Cai Mao reported Cao Peng's conditions to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao could only endure the pain and let Cai Mao give Cao Peng the money.
Afterwards, Cao Peng handed Liu Qi to Cai Mao.
Because some kind of agreement has been reached with Cai Mao.
Although Cao's army occupied Xinye, there was no further action, but the army behind them continued to move south from the north.
Although Liu Biao was worried, he did not move the enemy.
Cai Mao advised him to use calmness to control his movements.
Moreover, Liu Biao is not in good health now, so he doesn't have the energy to plan anything.
On the other hand, Cai Mao kept instilling in front of Liu Biao that Cao's army only wanted to occupy Xinye this time and would not take the next move.
...
Cao Peng immediately asked the Jinyiwei to write a letter and sent it back to Xu Du to Cao Cao.
After that, he waited leisurely for Cao Cao to reply to him.
Another day when he was drinking tea leisurely.
A man rushed into his residence.
The person who hurried to Cao Peng's residence was Xu Shu. It seemed that he had something important to come.
"Yuan Zhi, what's the matter when you look so rushing?" Cao Xiao asked.
Xu Shu said to Cao Peng: "My senior brother Zhuge Liang has returned to Wolonggang. If the general can conquer him, the world will be very determined."
Cao Peng couldn't help but be stunned.
He was also very curious about Zhuge Kongming, so he asked Xu Shu to lead the way to meet him.
Cao Peng only brought Guan Yu and Zhao Yun as escorts, and followed Xu Shu to Nanyang.
Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage was still the same, but this time Shutong told them that the husband was at home and was just taking a nap at the moment, so he asked them to wait for a while.
Cao Peng knew as soon as he heard this, it was intentional by Zhuge Liang.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Could it be that this guy wants him to visit the cottage three times?
He now has many outstanding advisers and is in line with the world's general trend. He really has no shortage of Zhuge Kongming!
"This Zhuge Liang is too rude. He is just a village man, how could he let the general wait here for a long time?" Guan Yu said angrily.
Xu Shu was a little embarrassed by the side.
This time he came to see Zhuge Liang, but he was rejected by Zhuge Liang.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Chief Yun doesn't need to be advised. Zhuge Kongming is a talented person, and it is not impossible to respect the wise and the inferior."
After saying that, he reached out and put his hand on Xu Shu's shoulder to make him feel at ease and not have to care.
Zhuge Liang hung them for nearly half an hour before he let the Shutong come out and let them in.
After entering, Cao Peng saw Zhuge Liang, who was close to the demon at first glance.
Zhuge Liang looked quite famous, and a goose-feathered fan swayed gently in his hands, which made people feel that he had a lot of origin.
"So it's General Cao, I've been revered for a long time!" Zhuge Liang bowed and said.
Zhuge Liang had already heard from Xu Shu that Cao Peng came here this time to recruit him.
Cao Peng chatted with him for a while, and then he invited him straight to the point and joined his counselor group.
As he expected, Zhuge Liang actually refused with a smile.
"I am a Yamano Village man and I'm used to being free and easy. I'm afraid I can't do it."
Zhuge Liang responded with a smile, and then filled Cao Peng's tea again!
Cao Peng understood that Zhuge Liang thought that he had many counselors now, and he was afraid that he would not be reused when he came to him.
The so-called forced melon is not sweet, and Cao Peng failed to recruit him, so he planned to leave.
However, at this time another person came to visit Zhuge Liang.
An old man with a young girl
This father-in-law is Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingxiang.
The Huang family is a great gentry in Jingxiang, and Huang Chengyan's wife is Cai Mao's sister.
The two major local snakes in Jingzhou are united, and their strength can be imagined.
Old Man Huang wants to marry his daughter to Zhuge Liang as his wife.
Because Mr. Shui Jing and this old man are old friends, Zhuge Liang is Mr. Shui Jing's most proud disciple.
Although Zhuge Liang is now working in Nanyang, it is difficult to guarantee that the dragon will be born one day.
"Mr. Kongming, don't be fine. This time, the little girl has a laser hidden weapon picture. I want to ask you for advice." Old Man Wang said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
Of course, looking at pictures and other things is just an excuse. In fact, he wanted Zhuge Liang to accept his daughter.
He just said hello to Cao Peng.
Old Man Huang is not sure about Cao Peng's identity now.
But he, who is quite sensible, knows Cao Peng's identity is definitely not simple.
A woman next to Old Man Huang should be her daughter Huang Yueying.
This woman has blond hair and blue eyes, a beautiful face and a charming figure.
It's not like the rumored ugly woman.
In fact, this look should be combined with the blood of the Hu people, just like Sun Quan from Jiangdong who was called Blue Eyes and Ma Chao from Xiliang Jin.
