Chapter 83 Cao Cao’s Conditions

At this moment, the entire tent fell into silence.

Adou was thinking about how he would resist if Cao Cao suddenly attacked, while Cao Cao was thinking about what kind of conspiracy Guan Yu wanted to use.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao never expected that Adou was for him. After all, Jing Ke's actions have not happened for many years, and the chance of such things becoming concept stocks is extremely low. For example, Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo when he was so angry, but later Cao Cao thought about it again, even if he succeeded in assassination, it would be difficult to save his life.

According to the general procedure, after the middle-aged eunuch introduced Adou, Adou greeted him and then it was time for Cao Cao, the master. But now Cao Cao has been thinking about what Guan Yu is going to do, so he has not spoken. Cao Cao did not speak, so everyone in the tent dared not speak.

In this way, after the middle-aged man introduced Adou, the tent fell into silence. This silence made everyone present feel a little nervous. At this time, everyone didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Among the people present, the most embarrassing middle-aged eunuch was the middle-aged eunuch. Now he introduced Adou to everyone. It is logical that it is time for him to retreat. But now Cao Cao was sitting there without saying anything, as if he had not heard what he said. Cao Cao did not let him retreat, and the middle-aged eunuch had to stand in place, either moving forward or retreat.

The person who can become an eunuch of Cao Cao must be Ji Ling's extraordinary person. Moreover, this eunuch has been following Cao Cao for several years and has some understanding of Cao Cao. At this time, the eunuch secretly looked at Cao Cao. Because the distance was far and he couldn't see it clearly, the middle-aged eunuch had to speak again: "Report to His Highness the King of Wei, this is the envoy sent by Guan Yu's prize."

At this time, Cao Cao could not figure out what Guan Yu was going to do. In the end, Cao Cao couldn't think of it, so he simply stopped thinking. Just as the eunuch's voice came again, which reminded Cao Cao. Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled the eunuch to retreat, then turned his eyes to Adou.

"We haven't seen each other for ten years!" Cao Cao suddenly sighed.

Neither A Dou nor the soldiers under Cao Cao expected that Cao Cao's first sentence would say this.

At this time, the civil officials and generals under Cao Cao were all active in their hearts. After hearing what Cao Cao said, Cao Cao knew this envoy. The two met ten years ago. Everyone began to guess who this young man was, when he met Cao Cao, and what was his relationship with Cao Cao. But no one could think that the envoy in front of him was Adou.

However, there is one exception among the people present, that is Sima Yi.

When he heard Cao Cao say that he hadn't seen him for ten years, Sima Yi recalled the major events that happened ten years ago, and then thought about the incident when Cao Cao sent A Dou back to Jingzhou ten years ago. Looking at the age of this envoy, Sima Yi was 90% sure that the envoy in front of him was A Dou!

Sima Yi suddenly felt a huge wave in his heart. Sima Yi was puzzled by the arrival of Adou himself. However, what Sima Yi was more concerned about Adou's reaction.

Judging from the silence of Cao Cao just now, Cao Cao obviously realized that Guan Yu's envoy was A Dou, and Cao Cao himself recognized it after seeing A Dou. However, ten years later, the child of that year had completely changed, and Cao Cao was able to recognize it, which surprised Sima Yi.

When A Dou came in just now, his calm expression made Sima Yi appreciate it. It is indeed admirable for a young man of fifteen or sixteen to achieve this level. Sima Yi felt that even at this age, he would probably not do better than this young man. However, now that A Dou's identity has been seen through by Cao Cao, I don't know what A Dou will react.

I saw Adou smiled and said, "Prime Minister, if you haven't seen each other for ten years, you are still as brave as you were back then!"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao burst into laughter when he heard Adou's words, and then continued: "It's been ten years in a blink of an eye. I'm old, but you have grown up too! From now on, the world will belong to you young people!"

"Haha, the Prime Minister is getting stronger. How dare we belittle ourselves?" A Dou said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"I haven't seen you for many years, how are your father?" Cao Cao continued.

After Cao Cao's question, everyone realized that Cao Cao knew this young man's father. No wonder Cao Cao knew this young man. It turned out that he had a friendship in the previous generation.

"My father is quite strong. Over the years, he has also been thinking about the prime minister and often mentions you." A Dou replied.

A smile appeared on Cao Cao's mouth. Liu Chan could speak. Liu Bei was thinking about himself, but probably he was thinking about when he would die. As for the words, he must have scolded him with a "Cao thief". But he also called Liu Bei a big eared thief!

So, Cao Cao and Liu Chan began to chat, and for half an hour they talked about it, which made the civil servants and military generals inexplicably. Those who didn't know thought that the old and young were old friends who had not met for a long time.

The two of them nagged for a long time before they gradually got to the point. Cao Cao asked: "You are Guan Yu's envoy this time! I didn't expect you to be really in Guan Yu's army, so what's your purpose for this time?"

When Cao Cao heard Cao say that he was "really in Guan Yu's army", Adou's heart trembled suddenly. If Cao Cao didn't know that he was with Guan Yu before, he would definitely not use the word "real". Cao Cao said this, which means that he had known that he was with Guan Yu before, but he was not sure.

Logically speaking, Cao Cao shouldn't have known that he was in Guan Yu's army. After all, when he first passed Xiangyang, he could be under the banner of Liu Feng. After a series of actions, Adou did not reveal his identity. Lu Meng, the only enemy who knew his identity, had been killed by him.

Is there any traitor in my army?

Later, Adou denied this idea. Since the day he sent troops to Shangyong, Adou's actions have been one after another in the past few days, and there has been no rest at all. Moreover, Cao Ren has been unable to stand there, and the two armies have no chance to contact, so even if there are spies in the army, there is no time to inform Cao Cao of the news.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Adou's mind. He failed to chase Ma Zhong a few days ago, so Ma Zhong might guess his identity. Could it be that Ma Zhong went back to report to Lu Xun, and Lu Xun told Cao Cao again?

This idea emerged from Adou's mind. At this time, Adou felt that something was wrong. If Lu Xun really told Cao Cao this news, then maybe Cao Cao and Lu Xun had formed an alliance to deal with Guan Yu together, so the two of them would share intelligence.

Thinking of this, A Dou felt nervous. Guan Yu's ten thousand men were still safe. It was because Cao Cao and Lu Xun were both planning to be the oriole at a discount, and no one wanted to be the mantis. But if the two sides had formed an alliance, then Guan Yu's army would be in danger.

Although an uneasy feeling arose in Adou's heart, Adou did not reveal it at all. At this time, Cao Cao must not see any clues.

Adou smiled slightly and said calmly: "Prime Minister, I have something to ask for in this time. Now our army is about to return to Shangyong. I hope the Prime Minister can withdraw this joint camp and give up a way for our army to pass."

As soon as Adou said this, all the Chinese civil servants and generals looked at Adou like a fool. This young man was too naive. Did he really think that Cao Cao would give up a way with his own words? Isn’t Cao Cao so easy to be told? Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were reborn, it would be impossible to tell Cao Cao to give up a way.

When Cao Cao heard Adou ask him to give way, he nodded without thinking and said, "Okay, this is OK!"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Xiahou Dun and others next to him suddenly changed their expressions. Now it is a good opportunity to kill Guan Yu. How could such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be spared! And Adou was slightly surprised. Is Cao Cao so easy to talk to? He must have any other tricks.

Cao Cao continued, "But I still have one condition."

Adou narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that Cao Cao really has a backup plan. Now the flesh-and-hearted show is coming! Then Adou said, "Prime Minister, please speak!"

"I haven't seen Yun Chang for many years, and I miss Yun Chang very much, so I want to invite Yun Chang and you to visit Xu Du. I wonder what you think?" After Cao Cao said that, he looked at A Dou with a successful expression.

A Dou sighed in his heart. Isn’t this just let Guan Yu and himself go to Xu Du be hostage? Isn’t he just working hard for so long to save Guan Yu? If Guan Yu and himself go to be hostages, wouldn’t it be in vain? A Dou doesn’t matter, just starve to death. Besides, Cao Cao is offering delicious food and drinks, which feels good. But for Guan Yu, it would be better to kill him than to let him go to Xu Du be hostages. Cao Cao clearly offered a condition that he could not agree to.

It seems that I can only use it today. Thinking of this, A Dou took a breath, tapped the upper teeth hall with the tip of his tongue, and his heels slightly left the ground and began to accumulate strength towards his feet. However, the heels were only two or three millimeters away from the ground, and no one paid attention to such a slight change.

At the same time, Adou still had a calm expression on his face and said, "Sir, my father misses his second uncle very much, so this time he rushed back to Shu. I think it's better to wait a few days, my father will definitely take his second uncle to visit the prime minister in person."

When Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were going to visit him, they probably would have to bring at least 300,000 to 400,000 troops together. Then he would go directly to Xu Du. I, Cao Cao, could not afford to treat such guests.

Adou continued, "Besides, the Prime Minister gave up a way this time, which will benefit both of you and me."

Is it beneficial? Cao Cao thought in his mind, and I could see that it was beneficial to you. Where did my Cao Cao's profit go? I have mobilized a hundred thousand troops and consumed countless supplies and food. I didn't know what benefits I didn't get. If Guan Yu ran away in the end, I would lose a lot.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and Cao Cao's signature smile appeared on his face. To put it bluntly, it was a typical smile without laughing. Then Cao Cao said, "This move is of great benefit to Yun Chang and you. Why did I come out and what good will it do to me?"

"At least the Prime Minister can ensure that his safety is not threatened, right?" At this time, he was ready and could rush towards Cao Cao at any time.

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao burst into laughter. Originally, Cao Cao thought A Dou would prepare a long list of words to convince him, but he didn't expect that A Dou would actually give such a bad reason. He had tens of thousands of troops around him, hundreds of generals, and the escort of the Tiger Guards, so what would be wrong with his safety? If A Dou had 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers and horses around him, Cao Cao would take care of it, but with Guan Yu's ten thousand troops, how could he threaten his safety? He really thought that there were tens of thousands of enemies in his army?

"Don't the Prime Minister believe it?" A strange smile appeared on A Dou's face, and his eyes showed a cold murderous intent.

Cao Cao did not notice the murderous intent in Adou's eyes, but Sima Yi next to him discovered it. Sima Yi felt a chill on his back and subconsciously took a step back.

At the next moment, A Dou's body moved, and the power just now made A Dou's power reach a critical point. At this time, A Dou's spirit had been highly concentrated, and the positions of everyone in the tent were reflected in A Dou's mind.

In A Dou's consciousness, a big Tai Chi had already appeared around him, covering the entire tent, and he happened to be standing in the middle of this Tai Chi. All the things in this great Tai Chi could not escape A Dou's eyes and ears.

Yesterday, A Dou just made a breakthrough, and now A Dou has a new understanding of martial arts. Some of the originally confused areas of Wudang Tai Chi suddenly became clear. A Dou has realized that Tai Chi is not just a way to defeat the enemy, but a way of nature.

Tai Chi gives birth to two qualities, two qualities give birth to four qualities, four qualities give birth to eight trigrams, and eight trigrams give birth to sixty-four trigrams... It is endless, ruthless and endless, and all things in the world are all in the word "Tai Chi". This Tai Chi is not just a black and white pattern, nor is it just a punch and kick action. This Tai Chi is all things, the way of nature!

At this moment, A Dou entered a mysterious realm. At this moment, A Dou had a feeling that everything in the world was in control. Everyone around him had the expression and movement of each person were everyone's heartbeat, and A Dou could clearly feel it. Even if the air hit A Dou's skin, A Dou could feel it.

A Dou knew that at this moment, A Dou had entered a state that he had never entered in his life. At this moment, every muscle, every bone, and every cell in A Dou's body trembled involuntarily. At this time, A Dou had entered the best state.
