Chapter 566 Cao Cao Arrives at Xiakou City(1/2)
Boom, boom, boom!
"My lord, Cao Cao would like to see you."
Dian Wei Dao.
Lao Cao?
For a moment, Qin Qi was in a daze and couldn't react.
I thought Dian Wei had made a mistake.
How is it possible?
Why did Lao Cao appear in Xiakou City?
"Lao Dian, who do you think is asking to see you?"
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!"
Dian Wei Dao.
"Are you not mistaken?"
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, I have met Cao Cao. How could I be mistaken? It is Cao Mengde who came to see my lord."
Dian Wei Dao.
Impossible!
Based on Qin Qi's understanding of Lao Cao, she would never come to Xiakou City. Isn't this going into a pit of fire?
Putting yourself in a dangerous place is not Lao Cao's style.
Qin Qi looked at Xi Zhong and Xun You. They also looked confused and couldn't understand what kind of medicine Cao Cao was selling.
"Lao Dian, please bring Cao Mengde in. Let's listen to Lao Cao's purpose of coming to Xiakou and discuss it later."
Qin Qi said.
"As you command!"
Dian Wei Dao.
Hahaha!
Before Lao Cao arrived, laughter came first.
"Brother Xingbang, you never imagined that I would come to Xiakou City."
Cao Cao saluted.
Qin Qi returned the gift.
"Mengde, please take a seat! To be honest, you came to Xiakou City alone, which is indeed beyond my expectation."
Qin Qi said.
According to Lao Cao's suspicious character, it is impossible to put himself into a dangerous situation. I don't know what Lao Cao is up to.
Qin Qi personally made a cup of good tea for Lao Cao and pushed it on the table.
"Mengde, please use tea!"
Qin Qi said.
“Great tea!”
Cao Cao exclaimed.
nonsense!
"Meng De, please introduce me. This is Xi Zhong, Xi Zhicai, the chief of general staff of Xiakou Army, who is in charge of military affairs.
This is Xun You and Xun Gongda, deputy chief of staff of the Xiakou Army, who is in charge of the daily affairs of the Xiakou Army."
Qin Qi said.
Hahaha!
"Two gentlemen, Zhicai and Gongda, are now famous all over the world. I feel honored to see you in person today!"
Lao Cao said.
The three of them saluted each other.
"Meng De, I didn't expect that you would be involved in danger in Xiakou City. You are not like Meng De's usual behavior.
Although we have a good relationship, we are two different princes after all, so I am not afraid that I will detain Meng De.
You will not be allowed to return to Dongjun. You must know that once Mengde cannot return, your tent will become a mess."
Qin Qi said.
hehe!
"Xingbang, will you detain me?"
Lao Cao said.
"It's hard to say, although it won't happen under normal circumstances, but detaining Mengde can help the Xiakou Army reduce losses.
I was afraid that the temptation would be too great, so I couldn't help but detain Meng De. You are testing my resistance!"
Qin Qi said.
"Xingbang, I have come all the way here, why don't you arrange a table of good food and wine to entertain me properly?"
Cao Cao said.
"Lao Dian, let someone bring a table of wine and food in."
Qin Qi said.
"As you command!"
Dian Wei Dao.
To be honest, Qin Qi is still a little confused and doesn't know what Lao Cao's purpose is.
After a while, the wine and food were served.
"Mengde, go one!"
Qin Qi said.
Bang!
Several wine glasses were gently clinked.
"Xingbang, together with Zhicai, Gongda should be the next targets for conquest!"
Lao Cao said.
"Not bad! Study the direction of Xiakou Army's attack on Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the battle plan, how many troops and horses need to be deployed, etc."
Qin Qi said.
Cao Cao nodded.
"Prepare to eliminate me and Liu Biao in one fell swoop, and completely place the area south of the Yellow River under the jurisdiction of the Xiakou area."
Cao Cao said.
"Yes! I do have this idea. However, considering the casualties, I think we should concentrate our forces to capture Liu Biao first.
Let Gao Shun's regiment keep an eye on Meng De. After Liu Biao is eliminated, attack from two directions and drive Meng De across the Yellow River.
Let Meng De defect to Yuan Shao. Anyway, you two are good friends who grew up together, so you shouldn't treat Meng De badly."
Qin Qi said.
well!
Cao Cao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and let out a long sigh.
"Xingbang, you are fully capable of fighting the two families together, why bother?"
Cao Cao said.
hehe!
"Mengde, if our troops are dispersed, our soldiers will suffer relatively large losses. This is not what I want to see.
This officer has always pursued the greatest victory with the least casualties. One soldier of the Xiakou Army sacrificed one person.
I will feel sorry for you. They are all veterans of many battles, and it seems uneconomical to exchange their casualties for victory."
Qin Qi said.
Cao Cao was extremely surprised!
