Chapter 310 The True Dragon is Born! [Subscribe]
"In three or two years at most, I will conquer the world!"
"Bashu and Jingzhou are a land of mountains and rivers. I am trapped in the mountains and cannot go north. Even if I have extraordinary talents, what can I do?"
The more Zhuge Liang looked, the more surprised he became.
What Cao Cao wrote goes straight to the heart of the people.
He first asked Zhuge Liang about his ambitions, and then explained the reason for asking the question.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei could only get Bashu at most.
So it is difficult to go north when imprisoned in the mountains!
The hundred li mentioned by Cao Cao refers to the land of Bashu;
Qianli reflects the Central Plains of China;
Our ambition is to go beyond China!
He was inviting Zhuge Liang to expand the territory and create lasting achievements!
The main point of Cao Cao's letter was that Zhuge Liang, although he had hidden strategies, was a rare talent.
But due to the limitations of time and place, you can only have the ambition of a hundred miles, imprisoned like a trapped dragon. Why not join hands with me and fight outside with lofty ambitions thousands of miles away? Isn't that magnificent?
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel disturbed after reading it.
He entered the game today and his whereabouts were unknown. It was a miracle that Cao Cao could find him.
Cao Cao is now the hidden ruler of the world, so it is even more strange that he is highly evaluated and praised.
It should be noted that he had not made his debut at this time. Although he was a little famous, everyone who knew him admired him very much.
But it is by no means as famous as in later generations and has not been sung for thousands of years.
Cao Cao wrote him a letter personally, inviting him to join the group. The words between the lines showed that he held him in high esteem, which surprised Zhuge Liang.
Cao Cao also pointed out that no matter how he planned, he could only cooperate with Liu Bei, be trapped in Bashu, and find it difficult to go north.
This is a fact.
Jingzhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only the area around Dongting Lake in the middle being a plain. There is an entrance between the mountains to the north.
The entire terrain is like a pocket, and the entrance is exactly the location of Xiangyang!
If Cao Cao captured Xiangyang, he would have strangled the entire Jingzhou and gained a complete advantage.
In the future, as long as we hold on to Xiangyang firmly, we can trap the others and beat them.
So he took Xiangyang, with Nanyang County behind him, and had advantages in logistics, troops, and geographical location.
He was no longer in a hurry to fight for other places in Jingzhou. Instead, he sat outside the well and watched the fighting inside the well with courage and strength.
Not to mention Yizhou, which is further west from Jingzhou. There are many tribes and the situation is extremely complicated.
To the north of Yizhou, there is the Qinling Mountains blocking the way, a natural barrier that is difficult to cross.
Cao Cao pointed out that no matter how Zhuge Liang planned, he could only get the land of Bashu. This one sentence alone contained so much implicit information that it involved the entire subsequent trend of the world.
How could Zhuge Liang not be moved after seeing this?
"The King of Wei was able to gain control of the Nine Provinces. His strategy and vision are truly the best in the world!"
The middle-aged man at the side asked, "You insist on joining the Dragon Prison Bureau and still insist on helping Liu Xuande?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright and he was thinking without saying a word.
At this moment, he and the middle-aged man felt connected again and looked towards the opposite side.
A few dozen feet away on the opposite side is another ridge.
Cao Cao was walking slowly up the ridge, followed by Jia Xu, Dian Wei, Yao Jing and others.
He was dressed in a royal robe, walked to the top of the mountain, and slowly spread out his arms, as if he was going to swallow up the mountains and rivers.
He and Zhuge Liang stared at each other across the mountains.
In the distance on the mountain path below the two of them was Liu Bei galloping on his horse.
At this moment, the relationship and position of the three seem to correspond to the situation in the world, which is mysterious to the extreme.
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang and the middle-aged man's pupils shrank slightly.
Cao Cao on the opposite side had a real dragon swimming behind him.
Its dragon claws have five toes, like holding the five elements, with mountains and rivers in between, the sun and the moon rising from it, and the Milky Way coming out from it. I have great ambitions, who in the world can match me!
Cao Cao released a real dragon to fly in the sky, it was so magnificent!
"When people gather together, a true dragon is born!"
Zhuge Liang and the middle-aged man stared at the real dragon with purple halo.
The next moment, a stone plate that looked like it was made of bluestone appeared in Zhuge Liang's hand.
The five elements on it were reversed, and as soon as it was taken out, the mountain ridge in the distance seemed to be retreating.
From the perspective of Cao Cao and others, Zhuge Liang and his companions seemed to be rising and falling in the mountains and fields, and went to another hilltop, turning the world upside down, and then quickly disappeared.
Cao Cao was speechless and asked, "Is this the art of Qimen Dunjia?"
"King Wei, Xu Laoer and I will go capture him!" Dian Wei said on the side.
Xu Chu glanced at him from the side.
"Forget it. Even if I catch him, he won't be willing to return. Besides, I don't think we can catch him."
Cao Cao wondered, was the man next to Zhuge Liang Mr. Pang Degong or Mr. Shuijing?
Zhuge Liang had three masters, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, the Water Mirror, and his father-in-law Huang Chengyan.
For now, what we have achieved so far is enough.
Cao Cao, with his foresight and the perspective of future generations, took the initiative against Zhuge Liang.
This confused Zhuge Liang's mind.
It was precisely because he was confused and could not see Cao Cao clearly that he retreated in a hurry. He needed time to digest the impact brought by Cao Cao.
It is impossible to easily win over a person like Zhuge Liang.
When it comes to recruiting soldiers and bringing people into the fold, Zhuge Liang should be considered the ultimate defender, so it's normal that he's difficult.
In history, Zhuge Liang resisted Cao Cao for many reasons, both public and private.
When he was young, he lived in Xuzhou. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, countless people were killed and wounded.
Zhuge Liang, who witnessed the tragedy, moved his family to escape.
His personal hatred and national hatred towards Cao Cao were engraved in the deepest part of his heart.
But right now, he doesn't have these experiences and encounters.
So it may be difficult to recruit Zhuge Liang, but it is not impossible.
"Why does the King of Wei think so highly of the young man across from him?"
Yao Jing had been observing Cao Cao's fortunes earlier, and was not surprised to know that Cao Cao could transform into a dragon.
She was somewhat surprised by Cao Cao's emphasis on Zhuge Liang, and asked with her bright starry eyes.
“It’s not a question of whether you value it or not.”
Cao Cao did not respond: "Let's go and meet up with the others first."
……
Liu Bei urged the horse to run with all his strength. He didn't know how long he had been riding, but he felt that the horse seemed to have lost its strength and slowed down on its own.
Liu Bei was on horseback, checking the surrounding terrain.
The last two times he was certain that Cao Cao could not catch up with him, but as soon as he spoke he was ambushed by Cao's army.
This time I was very cautious and waited and saw what was going on.
The area around was unusually quiet.
But Liu Bei soon saw Zhao Yun appear on the side of the mountain, riding on the Jade Lion of Zhaoye, surrounded by a group of soldiers.
My life is over... Liu Bei had a flash of thought, no, there is still hope!
There was also a deafening sound of hooves from the other direction. A general rode his horse and galloped: "Brother, don't panic! Guan Yu is here!"
Liu Bei suddenly felt that he had escaped from a desperate situation and urged his horse to meet Guan Yu.
"Why is my second brother here?"
"Kong Ming sent me a message several days ago, saying that Cao Mengde had occupied Xiangyang and must have some plan. He asked me to pick up my brother. Fortunately, I came."
The two brothers asked and answered each other.
The crisis is not over.
Even if Guan Yu came, as long as Zhao Yun stopped him, it would be extremely difficult for the two brothers to escape if other generals of Cao's army came up.
Guan Yu brought only a few soldiers and horses, only about a thousand men, so his chances of winning were not high.
Zhao Yun urged his horse to come closer, holding his shiny silver spear upside down.
The two sides confront each other.
Liu Bei was filled with emotion and felt sad. He bowed and said, "Zilong, how are you?"
Zhao Yun responded: "Yun is here on the orders of my king of Wei to capture Liu Xuande."
Liu Bei lamented: "I am now in a state of decline and have no place to live. General, would you please consider our friendship and let me go?"
"Although we have an old friendship, I will not let you go."
Zhao Yun's words were very clear.
"If Cao's army wants to capture and kill my brother, they must first ask me if I agree!" Guan Yu said solemnly.
"You two, listen to me.
In my opinion, I will not let you two go. This is not a personal feeling, but for the sake of the world.
But my King Wei is magnanimous. He said, it's okay to let you go, but he has something to ask you two."
Zhao Yun asked loudly: "Are you willing to join my King Wei?"
"A few years ago, the whole country was in turmoil. You two should have seen what the King of Wei did. Under the rule of our Wei State, many people lived in peace.
The King of Wei unified the nine provinces, defeated various armies, and brought peace to the chaotic world. Millions of people benefited and no longer had to live in chaos. "
“When the King of Wei founded the country, he announced to the world that if it hadn’t been for him, there would be countless more kings, and who knows how long the world would be in chaos, and how many people would have died because of it.
Yun Shen agreed. May I ask Brother Xuande, if you care about the world and the people, why don’t you surrender to the King of Wei? ! "
"You insist on fighting with the King of Wei. Isn't that selfish?"
This is truly a soul-searching question.
Guan Yu was stunned by the question.
In history, Liu Bei established Shu Han, saying that Cao Cao was ruling the world as a powerful official and was a man who was causing chaos in the country. I did not accept this, so I wanted to revive the Han Dynasty.
what about now?
We still insist on supporting the Han Dynasty and turn a blind eye to the good policies implemented by Cao Cao. Whether the people are suffering or the world is in turmoil, what does it have to do with me?
I am a member of the Liu clan, so it is right for me to insist on supporting the Han people.
Is it tenable?
This is a matter of personal opinion, so Liu Bei remained silent.
Zhao Yun: "The King of Wei also said that it's okay to let you go. But if you claim to be king in the future, your country will be destroyed and you will fall into the hands of my King of Wei. If you don't surrender, you will be regarded as a traitor and will be executed!"
Liu Bei was also a little confused and didn't say anything.
"From now on, Yun and brother no longer have any private relationship. You two can go."
Clang!
Guan Yu held the crescent-shaped sword and bowed to Zhao Yun in greeting.
The two brothers Liu Bei led their troops and walked further and further away.
Zhao Yun said: "Let's go back and report."
"General, why did the king let Liu Bei and others go?" asked the deputy general.
"Your Majesty is magnanimous and kind-hearted." Zhao Yun said in a relaxed tone.
The group turned back on horseback and soon saw Cao Cao coming from the other side and reunited with Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and others.
The three teams combined only had 3,000 people, but they were able to capture cities and strongholds and dominate the world.
"If you have the guts to kill me, I will surrender. That's impossible!"
Zhang Fei was captured but he refused to accept it and kept yelling.
His eyes widened, his face full of anger.
In fact, he had already made up his mind to die. He wanted to deliberately anger Cao Cao and seek death.
Cao Cao did not take it as an offense and said, "Zhang Huanyan, why don't you tell me why you don't want to surrender to me?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "You have ruined the Han Dynasty. Those who steal the country are thieves!"
"The Han dynasty has come to an end. The country is in turmoil and the people are displaced. You followed Da Er and wandered around. Don't you see the miserable conditions in various places?"
"Why can't I replace the Han Dynasty?"
"If you rebel against the current dynasty and destroy it and then establish it again, you are a thief. Then Emperor Gaozu is also a thief. Why are you trying to revive the Han Dynasty?"
Zhang Fei was no match for Cao Cao's eloquence.
He said anxiously: "Anyway, I won't surrender to you. You have a habit of robbing other people's women. People say you are a thief."
Fuck... Isn't this hooliganism? Speaking of this, Cao Cao touched his nose.
Beside him, Yao Jing's face flushed red as if she was thinking of something.
Cao Cao: "Zhang Dayan, I plan to let you go, but I can catch you again someday, do you believe it?"
Zhang Fei spat, "Impossible! If all your generals come one by one, who will we be afraid of?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei’s attack just now really scared Zhang Fei, but can’t he just run away if he can’t win?
"If I catch you again, will you surrender?"
"I don't want to."
Zhang Fei shouted, "I will only be with my brother and will never surrender to Cao. Even if you kill me, I will not surrender."
"If I capture your brother, and all three of you fall into my hands, what will happen?"
"Don't think about it."
Zhang Fei took two deep breaths and said, "If my brother is willing to submit to you, I will obey you."
Cao Cao said, "Let him go."
Huang Zhong swung his sword and cut the ropes that bound Zhang Fei.
Another soldier gave up a horse.
"Go ahead. Remember, if all three of your brothers are captured the next day, you must persuade your eldest brother to surrender."
"Am I really leaving?"
Zhang Fei climbed onto the horse in a daze, still finding it hard to believe.
However, he did not know that Cao Cao's power and mind no longer cared whether to release Zhang Fei or not.
Try again later, use it if it works, kill it if it doesn't.
Zhang Fei grunted for a while, bowed on his horse, and rode away.
Cao Cao said to his attendants, "If they don't want to surrender, let's go grab the other one and go."
