Cao Cao was frustrated and unable to deter Lu Meng, so he had no choice but to agree.
After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Lu Meng, I said I was willing to exchange for Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren. Please tell me Wang Can's conditions!" There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Cao Cao did not believe that Wang Can would be kind and kind to Xia Houyuan.
After returning with Cao Ren, Wang Can must have some intentions, so he sent Lu Meng to negotiate.
Lu Meng straightened his back and said seriously: "Mr. Cao, my lord said that Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren can be released, but the premise of letting them go is that Liu Xie cannot live and must disappear. Mr. Cao should understand what my lord means!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes showed an incredible look.
After hearing Lu Meng's words, Cao Cao had a new understanding of Wang Can.
Wang Can is definitely ambitious and not loyal to the Han Dynasty. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is also true. Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the princes in the world have different thoughts. Even the Liu clan does not care about the emperor's life or death. Who would want to
It is better to be loyal to such an emperor who has no soldiers and no power than to fight for the country yourself.
This thought flashed through Cao Cao's mind.
He thought about it, and after careful consideration, he realized that Liu Xie had not fallen into Wang Can's hands. Wang Can wanted to use his hand to kill Liu Xie. This idea was extremely audacious.
Cao Cao asked: "What if I don't kill the emperor?"
Lu Meng said: "My lord, if Cao Gong does not kill Liu Xie, then Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren will be killed!"
If Cao Cao heard what Wang Can asked him to kill Liu Xie, he was shocked and stunned. At this time, after hearing Lu Meng's words, Cao Cao was furious, and his chest was filled with anger. Cao Cao grabbed the hilt of the sword and suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist,
He pointed at Lu Meng and shouted: "Even if I give Wang Can a hundred courages, he won't dare to kill Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren!"
Lu Meng snorted and said: "Mr. Cao, when my lord is doing things, why should he be afraid of others!"
Cao Cao shouted: "Okay, I'll kill you first!"
Lu Meng raised his head and said: "I have no worries, so why should I be afraid of death? If Duke Cao wants to see the bodies of Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, then come and exchange one life for two. It's worth it!"
"Clang!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he trembled and threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
He was irritable and paced back and forth in the big tent.
After a long time, Cao Cao returned to his seat and sat down, thinking carefully. Cao Cao thought about Lu Meng's words, and his expression became colder and colder. Lu Meng sat below, and he also felt a coldness on Cao Cao's body, but he didn't care.
No matter what, he must persevere and this mission must be completed.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If Wang Can dares to kill Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, I will announce Wang Can's intention to kill the emperor, so that the people of the world will know Wang Can's wolf ambition."
Lu Meng chuckled and said: "Mr. Cao, what evidence do you have? There are no documents and no witnesses. Besides, I went on behalf of my lord as an envoy to exchange Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren for Liu Xie. I had no intention of killing the emperor. Once Cao Gong will
Once the news is announced, the lord can also fight back, Guild Cao is not the only one who speaks."
After hearing this, Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to threaten Wang Can, but Wang Can was well prepared and would not let the truth slip.
"Someone is coming!"
Cao Cao looked cold and shouted loudly.
After Lu Meng heard this, his heart thumped and he thought to himself that it was not good.
His body suddenly straightened up. As long as Cao Cao really wanted to kill him to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he would go all out, grab Cao Cao with all his strength, and then leave with his soldiers. However, Cao Cao didn't speak yet, and Lu Meng didn't move either. He was nervous.
He was tense and on high alert. As long as Cao Cao let the soldiers approach him, he would wait for an opportunity to attack.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Xu Chu walked in with two soldiers.
Cao Cao shouted: "Take him back and take good care of him!"
"promise!"
Xu Chu answered with clasped fists, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers took Lu Meng away. Cao Cao was the only one left in the tent. He sat quietly for a long time without thinking of a way to deal with it. At some point, Xi Zhi opened the curtain of the tent and left.
When he came in, he had been worried about Lu Meng's mission. After coming in, he hurriedly asked: "My lord, what is Wang Can's plan?"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Wang Can promised to send Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren back when he asked me to kill the young emperor. If I don't agree, he will kill Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren."
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai was stunned.
He thought about many possibilities in his mind, but he never expected that Wang Can would be so bold and let Cao Cao kill the young emperor.
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and asked, "What are your plans, my lord?"
Cao Cao looked helpless, spread his hands and said: "Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren are the generals in our army. It is absolutely impossible for me to ignore the safety of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren!"
Having said this, Cao Cao said nothing.
Xi Zhicai knew that Cao Cao was in a dilemma and had a hard time making a choice. On the one hand, it was the life of the little emperor, and on the other hand, the lives of Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren. Faced with such a choice, it was indeed very difficult to make.
However, if we look at the problem from the perspective of a hero, Cao Cao must ensure the safety of the little emperor in order to command the world and achieve great justice, but Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren will inevitably be killed. Cao Cao is not a cold iron man, but a man of flesh and blood, Cao Ren
He and Xia Houyuan followed him on expeditions east and west and made countless achievements. Cao Cao could not give up the two of them for the sake of the little emperor.
Cao Cao asked: "Zhicai, I know Wang Can's purpose is to use my hand to kill the little emperor, but I can't give up Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren. I must save their lives. What can you do?"
Xi Zhicai advised: "My lord, the importance of the emperor..."
Cao Cao stopped him and said: "There is no need to persuade. Although I want to achieve great things, I will not abandon the generals who are loyal to me. You think of a way to avoid Wang Can's success and how to save Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren."
Xi Zhicai looked bitter. It was not easy to save Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren without killing the little emperor!
Cao Cao stood up, cupped his fists towards Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, please!"
Xi Zhicai sighed, scratched his head and thought deeply.
Cao Cao returned to his seat and was also thinking. This matter was not left to Xi Zhicai so that Cao Cao could sit back and relax. He also had to think hard and consider ways to rescue Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren.
The two people sat in the tent, neither talking.
After Lu Meng left, he went directly back to the camp where the team rested.
Outside the camp, Xu Chu ordered soldiers to stand outside and prevent Lu Meng and others from leaving.
When Huang Xu saw Lu Meng coming back, he came over and asked in a low voice: "Little general, how is the situation?"
Noriman also asked: "Little general, if Cao Cao doesn't take action, why don't we do it ourselves, kill the little emperor, and then frame it for Cao Cao. This will complete the mission of the lord."
Lu Meng's face became serious and he shouted: "Nonsense!"
Noriman curled his lips and said: "Isn't there no way?"
Lu Meng said: "The specific situation is not known yet, but what is certain is that Cao Cao will not give up Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren. Regarding this, Mr. Jia has long concluded that we are safe and will not be killed by Cao Cao. We are temporarily
Don't move, wait until Cao Cao summons me again, and then decide what to do?"
The three of them were discussing in whispers.
While Lu Meng and others were discussing, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were still thinking about it.
