Cao ang came to inspect the city gate early in the morning, and he came immediately.
After coming, Cao ang asked people to tell Cao Cao, and he was ready to leave the city.
Zhang Yu waited for about half an hour, and the gate finally opened.
"Young master Cao ang, long time no see."
They haven't seen each other for a long time.
Cao ang bowed his hands and said, "thank you for not killing your majesty, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Luoyang."
"It's easy to talk about the past. Let's talk about the current situation first."
"Luoyang has been surrounded by me. Chang'an has won. There are heavy soldiers in the north, Wancheng in the South and Gao Shun in the East. You don't have a chance."
"I'm here to persuade you to surrender. If you surrender, I won't kill anyone."
This promise is solemn, but it is valid before the war.
Once the war starts, Zhang Yu's promise will automatically become invalid.
"You have three days to think about it. In three days' time, I will start a strong attack. In addition, if brother mengde can come, I would like to talk to him again."
Zhang Yu said, two people also have nothing to say, each go back.
Cao ang went back to the palace immediately.
In the palace, Cao Cao had already got up to wait, and several of his counsellors had arrived.
"Ang'er, did Zhang Yu come to persuade him to surrender? What are his conditions? " As soon as Cao ang arrived, Cao Cao asked.
After seeing the ceremony, Cao ang said: "yes, Zhang Yu is here to persuade us to surrender. He wants us to surrender, promise not to kill one person, and give us three days to consider. He also invited his father out of town
"I will not surrender as long as I live. I, Cao mengde, have been fighting for so many years in the army. It's not that I can't afford to lose. My life can be solemn and stirring, but I can't let it go. " What Cao Cao said was very serious. He would not surrender.
Cao Cao discussed various possibilities with several counsellors, but after that, he made no progress.
Half a day later, Cao Cao was really tired, his body could not eat, let people scattered.
After a long rest, Cao Cao woke up in the evening.
After waking up, Cao Cao ate something and called Cao ang.
"Ang'er, the situation is irreversible now. I want to save your life by abolishing your crown prince."
"Zhang Yu is rich all over the world. His mentality has changed and he will not kill people indiscriminately. If you are not the crown prince, you are very likely to live."
"If you die for your father, the Cao family will depend on you. You can surrender and let the Cao family and Xiahou family continue."
What Cao Cao said was very important. He had a premonition of the ending, so Cao ang should be prepared and take on the responsibility.
To negotiate, it is estimated that only Cao ang has the weight to negotiate with Zhang Yu, and only he can make the Cao family and the Xiahou family continue to live smoothly.
"Father, we are not there yet. We have father and hundreds of thousands of troops." Said Cao ang.
Cao Cao did not answer, looking at the top, his eyes were a little dull.
"I, Cao mengde, have been in the army for more than 20 years. I've been in the army for half my life, but I'm not confused. Now the situation is at stake, and we can't turn it around with our strength."
"Now we have to keep our Cao family and Xiahou family, otherwise we can't be at ease to die for our father."
"Father and emperor, I will try my best to protect the Cao family."
Cao Cao is telling the future.
"I'll meet that Zhang Yu tomorrow."
Cao Cao wants to see Zhang Yu. This is his biggest enemy. He can't die without seeing him.
Cao Cao recalled things before, he did not start to Zhang Yu as the biggest enemy, and is not a very important enemy.
At the beginning, Cao Cao ranked Zhang Yu behind the princes, because Zhang Yu had no foundation and did not get the support of the aristocratic family.
Before Yuan Shao was defeated by himself, he always regarded Yuan Shao as his biggest enemy.
After the defeat of Yuan Shao, Zhang Yu immediately became the biggest vassal and surpassed himself.
Zhang Yu can go against the trend and build a huge empire without relying on his aristocratic family to beat them all.
Zhang Yu succeeded and became the biggest vassal.
Now, no one can resist him.
Cao Cao's life is also very brilliant.
If it wasn't for Zhang Yu, Cao Cao believed that he would win in the end.
Cao Cao has already begun to account for his future affairs. His state is really bad.
"Ang'er, you go down. Your previous ideas were all right. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time. If we had enough courage, we might not have today. At least we can compete with Zhang Yu." Zhang Yu said.
At the beginning, when he began to fight for talents, Cao ang tried to build academies to attract the common people's children. However, in the face of the obstacles of his family, Cao Cao did not do it thoroughly and did not attract enough talents. When the academies were established, the number of talents cultivated was not as much as Zhang Yu's Academy for one year.
At the beginning of the competition for talents, the strength of both sides was equal, but now the gap is too far.
Looking back on the past, Cao Cao was very moved.
When Cao ang went out, his mood was also affected.
Among the former counselors, Xun you was his confidant, but because of Xun Yu's relationship and Cao Pi's attack on him, Cao Cao had let Xun you go back and could not participate in anything.
Cao ang walked to the door of Xun you's house.
He still believed in Xun you very much and knew his talent.
But because of the struggle, Xun you was forced out.
"I'm Cao ang. I want to see Mr. Xun you. Please tell me."
Xun you had been idle at home for a long time and could not participate in anything.
"I'll see you." Xun you came out to meet Cao ang and followed him in.
In the beginning, Cao Cao asked Cao ang to run Luoyang, and Xun you came to Luoyang very early.
Luoyang is what it is now. Cao ang and Xun you have made great contributions.
"Young master, I don't know what happened this time?"
Cao ang hasn't been here for a long time, because Cao ang has been out all the time. Even in Luoyang, it's not convenient to see him.
"My father is very ill. He has a strong enemy outside. He has internal and external troubles. Come and ask my husband. There is a good plan." Said Cao ang.
Xun you didn't understand many things, at least he didn't know about Cao Cao. As for the situation outside the city, he still knew.
"I'm not in his position. I don't take charge of his own affairs. There's no position for grass-roots people. I can comment at will, but I don't recognize anything when I get out of this door." Xun you said.
The Xunzi family is not in the limelight, or the Xunzi family's strength is still there, just because they are sensitive, they can't do anything else.
"Yes, sir."
The general trend of the world is very clear, and no one can change the situation of Zhang Yu's unification of China.
"But the Cao family is not without a way to live, at least there is a chance of life."
"Please teach me, sir." Cao ang suddenly found a glimmer of light.
The Cao family is no doubt at the end of their tether. What will happen in the future? The best result is that Zhang Yu will let them go, but they can't make a difference.
