Dawn, Guangping City.

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao and others returned.

The former clasped his fists and said, "Lord, let Liu Bei run away."

Zhang Xiu waved his hand: "It's okay, just Liu Bei will not be able to make a climate."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and chuckled, "Lord, Cao Cao has no movement. I think he doesn't plan to leave anymore. The lord should have gains in the past."

Zhang Xiu nodded and sighed. Although Cao Cao's generation of heroes had been cruel all his life, he also made contributions. It was a pity.

"Let's go, and follow me to the enemy camp to take a look."

......

After a while, the enemy camp came down.

Zhang Xiu held the lid and placed a table and wooden chair. He sat on the seat and savored the tea.

On the top of the city, Cao Cao looked solemn. He knew that Chu Feng had a powerful weapon, but he was useless. Instead, he set up a seat to invite him to have a brief discussion.

"I will go and meet Zhang Xiu later." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and raised his hand.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu is like a fool, I will accompany you." Xu Chu said in a deep voice.

"With his current strength, why do you need to kill me in one go?" Cao Cao rebuked and then drove out of the city.

As he approached, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Meng De, I missed Xiu very much last time after parting. Come and take a seat quickly. This is a good tea I have collected for many years. Try it."

Cao Cao was not polite either and drank three cups in a row.

Then he supported his arms on the wooden table and said solemnly: "Zhang Xiu, you and I don't say secret words, and there is no need to beat around the bush."

Zhang Xiu chuckled and said after drinking the tea: "Meng De, I asked you to come this time, just to ask you what your plans are now."

"I'm going to tell you that I'm going to fight to the death with you. If you lose, you will never have any bones. If you win, I will call me Cao Cao's name in the world." Cao Cao raised his arm and shouted.

"Fight to the death?" Zhang Xiu smiled, "Meng De, are you qualified to fight to the death to the death to the death to the death to the death to the death to the death to me at this moment? How likely do you have to win?"

"Not 10%," Cao Cao replied: "But I still dare to fight."

"Haha, dare to fight? It's nothing more than a general's success. Your daring battle is to kill tens of thousands of young and strong men. There are also tens of thousands of people without sons, husbands, and fathers."

"In my opinion, it's ridiculous that I'm just talking about for my own selfish interests, but I'm so ridiculous."

Zhang Xiu looked directly at Cao Cao, and his voice spoke very resolutely.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu, aren't you doing it for your own selfish interests?" Cao Cao asked.

"Haha, for your own selfish interests, is it king or emperor? What's the point? If I hadn't been able to bear the disaster of the people in the world, I would have already retired to the mountains and forests."

"What I wish in my life is nothing more than to restore peace to the world, let the people wear new clothes, eat enough for food, and be free of exploitation. In this way, my life is enough." Zhang Xiu laughed loudly.

Cao Cao was silent and fell into deep thought.

Because Jingzhou did achieve what Zhang Xiu said, maybe Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and even the whole world will be like this in the future. What will happen at that time?

"Zhang Xiu, Cao has never been convinced in his life, but you are one. If you don't have you, this world belongs to me. But you did do what I want to do but dare not do."

"Perhaps, only when the great man is in your hands can the people live and work in peace and the world can be fair." Cao Cao suddenly became sad.

I'm afraid this is what is called heroes cherishing heroes.

"Haha, although the great man is in my hands, you can also create a great man. Or, I will give you a chance to leave the border and establish a new great Han Dynasty, how about it?"

Zhang Xiu chuckled. He shouldn't have done this, but he wanted to do it again.

Cao Cao was both cute and hateful. Zhang Xiu knew that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty in his early years, and made five-color sticks and tried to catch up with Dong, which showed his desire to support him.

But later, he killed innocent people indiscriminately and became a butcher and a thief. It was so hated that he gritted his teeth.

"Create a new Han Dynasty?" Cao Cao was stunned.

"Everything where the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, are all Han territory! I give you this almost, but you can only be the Han Dynasty, not Cao Wei, etc."

Zhang Xiu chuckled and looked at Cao Cao.

"Why? Are you not afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his expression cold, and wanted to see through what Zhang Xiu was thinking.

At least in Cao Cao's opinion, he could not allow the remnants of hostile forces, just like later generations who chased Yuan, killed Wuhuan and chased Liaodong for this purpose, just to eliminate future troubles forever.

"Let the tiger return to the mountain? Haha, you respect yourself too much. I, Zhang Xiu, can beat you once, and there will be countless times, and you will never win."

"If one day you dare to lead a foreigner to offend the great man, my Zhang Xiu will swear to slaughter your Cao family and the Xiahou family, and not leave any of them."

Zhang Xiu's last sentence was full of murderous intent.

In his opinion, it is okay to make a fight, but if you dare to take outsiders to fight a big man, you will die.

Cao Cao was silent again, and Zhang Xiu was so open-minded.

"Because you are Cao Cao, I will give you this opportunity. In addition to the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, there are also the Kushan Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Rest Empire."

"I hope you are in the name of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty to fight outside, so that the national flag of the Han Dynasty will spread all over the world, and that your name is Cao Mengde will be passed down in history."

"I'll give you a stick of incense time to consider. If you agree with what I said today, then take the homeless and childless person west. If you don't agree with it, then you will commit suicide and make up for your own sins."

Zhang Xiu stared at Cao Cao and told him.

Zhang Xiu said this last sentence very seriously, because if Cao Cao disagreed today, he would not be able to take ten steps alive, because he would not be able to win a fair showdown.

"No need to think about it." Cao Cao raised his hand, and the spirit that had disappeared earlier seemed to appear. He clasped his fists and hit the ground on one knee: "Everything where the sun and the moon shine, wherever the rivers reach, are all Han territory."

"However, how can the prime minister of the Han Dynasty be appointed to the expedition in person in a mere barbarian land? He is willing to demote his official position, represent the Western General, and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao's words come from his heart.

Because the great man handed him over to Zhang Xiu, he felt relieved.

Since that's the case, why didn't he be a capable minister in governing the world, expand territory for the Han Dynasty, and fulfill his vision of youth?

"Okay, I hope that many years later, you can invite me to drink at the Kushan Empire. At that time, you and I will not return without getting drunk." Zhang Xiu said aloud.

"There will be that day!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"If you need something, just talk. I will send it to you by Guo Jia and Cao Ang, but the rest will be moved to the emperor's feet. Don't worry, I will raise your wife!"

Zhang Xiu said generously.

Cao Cao's mouth twitched, this sentence seemed familiar! Did he say it when?

But at this moment he didn't say anything, so he could only hold his fists and say, "Then I'll trouble Ming Gong. Don't worry, I, Cao Cao, are there in the Western Regions."

Zhang Xiu chuckled and said nothing.

Then, the two used tea instead of wine and drank countless cups in a row. Finally, Cao Cao turned around and left. When he left, he was full of energy, as if he had recovered the Cao Aman back then.

That upright Cao Cao who was determined to support the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the back, Zhang Xiu took a sip of tea. Maybe he did it right or wrong, but compared to Liu Bei's obsession, Cao Cao was more likely to become a minister.
