On this day, the sky was high and crisp, and there were no clouds.
The surging water, rolling and long-flowing.
A leaf light boat, swept on the surface of the Luoshui River outside the gate of Changchun City, the army on both sides, the battle flag hunting, the tiger eye, the soldiers and horses on the south bank are the Wu army, the soldiers are arrayed, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the soldiers on the north bank are the Wei army, the most strict and elite Royal Forest Tiger Guard is under the personal leadership of Dian Wei, and also guards the river bank, the momentum is like a rainbow.
However, the surface of the river was very quiet, and even the sound of the flowing water made the officers and men of the two armies hear it clearly, and they did not even dare to make a sound.
Because on this small light boat, there are the two most noble overlords in the world.
Sun Quan and Cao Cao sat opposite each other in the open space in the middle of the boat, and there was a pot of wine on the table between the two, as well as a few side dishes.
"Lao Cao, you don't look good like this, your body is fine" "Do I look terrible?"
"Well, it's very bad, it's not like the one who took the lead, heroic, without scruples, just a little bit of soldiers and horses in his hand, he dared to be heroic, chasing Dong Zhuo's big hero Cao Mengde, it seems that you are getting older and older, no matter how you look at it, you feel a little dying" "Hehe, I didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, would have such a big name in your Sun Zhongmou's heart, maybe it's because my spirit is not enough recently, and I don't blame me, you have repeatedly combined punches, and in less than a year of fighting, my Great Wei Dynasty collapsed, I naturally can't eat well, sleep well, and my body is a little bad, as long as I raise it in the future."
"I heard that Hua Tuo's ability to maintain health is good" "Thanks to him, I would have been bedridden" "When I take Luoyang City, invite him back to Jinling City."
"Get out, I'll take him with me to death" "You are too selfish, if you die, you will die, why do you want to let a doctor accompany you to bury, a Hua Tuo can improve the law of the world's doctors by three points, you don't care about the medical Tao of the world's people" "I'm willing, can you handle it?"
"Lao Cao, don't force me, the Great Wei Dynasty has let me fall down, and I can't grab a Hua Tuo" "If you have the ability, you can give it a try, and give you a corpse" “” People who don't know, if they hear their conversation, most of them think that the two are friends who haven't seen each other for many years and are catching up, and then boating and cruising the river, chatting about the world, without the slightest kind of life-and-death, sabre-rattling atmosphere.
"Sun Zhongmou, we haven't met many times, but after more than ten years, there are a lot, most of them are either you chasing and killing me, or I are chasing and killing you, few of them are so calm, this should be the second time we have sat down so calmly and sang about wine."
Cao Cao's temples have turned white, his qi and blood are weak, and his complexion is a little gloomy, but his cold eyes are like an eagle, his eyes are still domineering, sharp and unmatched, with a trace of unruliness, and his voice is a little cold, and there is also a little sigh.
"The first time we sat down and chatted calmly was the battle in the East China Sea in Xuzhou."
Hearing this, Sun Quan took a sip of wine, and then raised his head, looking at Cao Cao, who was a little lonely, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with a hint of nostalgia: "The original battle was dangerous, I was almost killed by you, and you were almost destroyed by me, and in the end we had a draw, you can't kill me, I can't kill you, so everyone can only sit down and negotiate."
It was the first expedition after Wu Guoguo, and the battle against Xuzhou was conquered.
Sun Quan personally commanded the army, led a part of the army, went north from the sea, and then landed in Donghai County from Yuzhou Mountain, and fought against Cao Cao, who was killed from Pengcheng, between them, Donghai County, a series of bloody battles, and finally fought with Cao Cao to the death.
However, although the battle was dangerous, they only fought a draw, and in the end, Sun Quan could only rely on the fighting general, with Zhao Zilong's riding skills, slightly better than Dian Wei's brute strength.
"But today, I, Cao Cao, have been defeated, defeated cleanly, defeated and unable to return to the sky" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, and laughed a little bitterly: "I don't even know, where I lost, why did I lose to you Sun Zhongmou I asked myself to be shrewd and calculating, but I was defeated by your Sun Quan's hands repeatedly, I am not reconciled" "This may be the destiny of heaven in my Dawu" Sun Quan said something very arrogantly.
"Maybe" Cao Cao doesn't believe in fate, but now the fate of the Great Wei Dynasty should be like this, he can only believe: "Sun Zhongmou, after three rounds of drinking, and greetings, you should also get to the point, now that the war between the two armies is imminent, you send a message to meet with me, you don't just want to come and tell me that the destiny of heaven is in Dawu."
"If I say that I came to ridicule you, the general of the defeated army, today, would you believe it?"
Sun Quan raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said lightly.
"Unbelief" When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't have to think about it, and said categorically: "Sun Zhongmou is very shameless, I know this, but you are definitely not a boring person, now that the Wu army is winning, you can break through the sun as long as you step by step, as the king of a country, you will be bored and risky, and you will not hesitate to take your life, just to ridicule me before the war, hehe, you don't believe it yourself."
"Hahaha, it is said that the person who knows himself best is not necessarily his own person, maybe he is the enemy" Sun Quan's eyes fixed on Cao Cao's face, grinned, and said: "Sure enough, the only one in the world who knows me Sun Quan best is you Cao, you have a confidant in life, and you die without regrets, I respect you for this cup."
"Tell me, why did you come," Cao Cao asked in a deep voice after taking a sip of the wine in his cup.
"Surrender" Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and spit out two words, the voice was not very loud, but it made Cao Cao's ears ring.
"Surrender" He glared angrily, and looked at Sun Quan in disbelief: "You actually want to recruit me" "Isn't it okay" Sun Quan put away his hippie smile, his face was straight, and his eyes became more and more fierce and domineering: "Descend to my Great Wu, the world is peaceful" Why did he still have to meet Cao Cao before the big war.
It's because he wants to recruit Cao Cao after all, even if he knows it's impossible, he still wants to give it a try.
"Will I Fall?"
Cao Cao sneered, and there was obviously a look of ridicule in his eyes: "Or do you Sun Zhongmou think that I, Cao Cao, will be afraid of death, Da Wei is here, since Da Wei is no more, why should I Cao Cao linger."
"You're not afraid of death, but are you willing to die like this?"
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Between you and me, all the deep hatred and hatred are just because of your and my position, and there is no personal hatred, I admire you very much, respect your ability, now the Great Wu Dynasty has won the world, this is a fact, and it is also a fact that your Great Wei Dynasty lost, why would you rather die than surrender?"
"Because I'm Cao Cao" Cao Cao's voice was full of unstoppable arrogance.
He is Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cannot surrender.
"Manly man, if you can afford to lose, since you have already lost, you are obviously powerless to return to heaven, why don't you accept your fate" Sun Quan sighed, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "You have surrendered, the world is good, don't fight the battle of Luoyang, I don't have to go to great lengths to slaughter your diehards, if you resist stubbornly, you will lose the lives of the soldiers on both sides, why should you bother?"
"Sun Zhongmou, I don't understand, you can take Luoyang City at any time, if you weaken the casualties, you have already done it without attacking, I, Cao Mengde, am just a down-and-out monarch now, you take the risk to persuade you to surrender, why?"
Cao Cao asked suddenly.
Sun Quan came to see him, it was a lot of risks, after all, at this juncture, he actually dared to take the risk to come to meet him, it was not a simple matter.
"In the whole world, the only thing I can see is you Cao Cao" Sun Quan pondered for a moment before he said: "Back then, many heroes and princes, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, these people were not as good as you, this world, if Cao Cao is missing, it will be a little too boring."
"Haha" When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "If you Sun Zhongmou say this, my life is enough."
"Lao Cao, I'll show you something" Sun Quan completely removed the small wine and dishes on the middle bookcase, and then spread out a map: "You take a good look" "What is this?"
Cao Cao glanced at it twice, a little confused, some parts of the terrain of this map are very familiar, but some parts are very unfamiliar.
"This is a map of the world" Sun Quan smiled and said: "Although the Central Plains is large, but for the whole world, it is just a corner of peace, not enough to compare with the vast world, although the Central Plains is determined, but the world is not decided, conquer the ocean, conquer the Western Regions, is what my generation thinks, now the west is surrounded by strong enemies, there is an empire with a population and economic strength that is not inferior to the former Han Dynasty, named Rome, this side is my strong enemy" "The world, the world, a good world" Cao Cao was a little shocked, his eyes narrowed, looking at the places marked on the map, he knew the Western Regions, but he never knew that the world was so vast, at this moment he was a little moved: "I didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, have fought for a lifetime and won a lifetime, but I am just a frog at the bottom of the well, and I am not wronged to lose."
"Lao Cao, then you are willing to fight hand in hand with me and compete in the world" Sun Quan's eyes were sincere and sincerely invited.
"Hahaha, I was almost convinced by you" Cao Cao came back to his senses, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, his eyes no longer looked at the world map, and his expression became cold and indifferent: "It's a pity, I'm Cao Mengde after all."

"It's a pity" Sun Quan was a little disappointed, but he felt that it was expected.
Cao Mengde's arrogance, how could he tolerate the conquest under the battle banner of Eastern Wu, he couldn't do it, he would rather die, he couldn't do it.
And Sun Quan knew that this was wishful thinking, but he still wanted to give it a try.
Why he wanted to recruit Cao Cao, he himself couldn't say clearly.
Maybe it's sympathy, after all, an opponent who has been fighting for so many years, he not only recognizes Cao Cao's ability, but also has some regret for him, thinking that this person should not end up like this.
It's a pity that the result disappointed him after all.
However, he was also relieved, because he had tried his best, what he could and what he couldn't do, he had already done, since Cao Cao was unwilling to surrender, then he could only die, and there was no other choice. t1706231537:
