Chapter 555 Li Hui goes to Luo to meet Cao Cao

At this time, Ma Chao and his men had already come down from the city and returned to the prefect's mansion.

After arriving at the reception room and sitting, Li Hui said, "Lord, judging from today's situation, Cao Ren and the others really don't have the intention to fight our army!"

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, and he could naturally see this. If Cao Ren and his team really wanted to fight, they would directly let the soldiers of the Yanzhou army attack the city. Why do they have to fight against the generals? So this has to be explained. Cao Ren and his teammates of Yanzhou don’t want to fight with their own side, so there is nothing to think too much about it.

"I wonder what Mr. De'ang has to think?"

Ma Chao asked, thinking that Li Hui could say this, then he should have some ideas, so he was like this.

Sure enough, Li Hui smiled and said, "I can't hide it from my lord. Hui really has some ideas. Now that Cao Ren and the others have arrived, they actually don't want to go to war with our army, so if they want to withdraw their troops, Hui thought that as long as it is...!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself that Li Hui said it was indeed reasonable. If this happens, Cao Ren and the others will really retreat. In fact, it seems that they can't lose anything. After all, the two sides are confronting each other like this, and there is no benefit at all. So it's better to lower your attitude. Then taking a step back will make the sky wide. What Cao Cao wants is just a reputation, but in fact it's just a face.

"Then I have to ask Mr. De'ang for this matter!"

"It is unshirkable to do things for the lord!"

For Li Hui, the idea was made by himself, so in the end he had to do it, he had to do it himself, which was all expected. Moreover, if he was the military advisor under the lord's account, if he went to Luoyang by himself, Cao Mengde would think that his lord really attached more importance to this peace talk.

Yes, all Li Hui thought was to go to Luoyang and ask Cao Cao to have a peace talk. He asked Ma Chao to write a letter himself and then deliver it to Cao Cao in Luoyang. Then he would just talk to him and Cao Mengde.

Li Hui was indeed very sure of this and asked Cao Cao to withdraw his troops from Hanoi. After all, Cao Cao sent troops to Hanoi, either to fight for the territory or to fight for the Yanzhou army. So he lowered his attitude and went to him to negotiate peace with him first. Then this is to give him a step in front of the people of the world. As for what to do, it depends on whether Cao Mengde is going to be or not.

So Ma Chao wrote a letter in person, and asked Li Hui to hand it over to Cao Cao in person.

After nightfall, Li Hui quietly left from the east gate of Huai County. Sima Yi left here at that time, and Wang Yi also escaped from here. Now Li Hui left here. It has to be said that the Liangzhou army at that time had not found any abnormalities when it came to the Yanzhou army today, which shows that there was indeed no precautions for this place.

-----------------------------------------------------

Just when the Yanzhou army was still besieging the county town outside Huai County, Li Hui had already come to Luoyang with his lord's handwritten letter. Li Hui had only one purpose in coming to Luoyang, that is, after handing over his lord's handwritten letter to Cao Cao, the two armies made peace. It was to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

After coming to Cao Cao's mansion, he was stopped by the guards. After Li Hui explained his purpose, the guards did not dare to be negligent and quickly went to report. At this time, Cao Cao happened to be in the mansion.

The guards came to report: "Lord, there is a man outside the door who claims to be a military advisor under the Liangzhou Army. He came to see the lord by the Liangzhou Army order!"

Cao Cao thought, Ma Mengqi sent someone? His brother Mengqi couldn't help but send someone. He looked at Cheng Yu at this time, and Cheng Yu smiled, "Lord, it seems that Ma Mengqi is a smart person!"

Cao Cao also smiled and then said to the guards: "Please come in!"

"promise!"

The last time Sima Yi came, Cao Cao didn't say to invite him in, but just let him in. However, this time Ma Chao sent Li Hui, and Cao Cao said the word "Ask", which shows that although it was against both sides, Cao Cao did think that Ma Chao was his brother Meng Qi.

-----------------------------------------------------

After a while, Li Hui came in. After entering the house, he quickly greeted Cao Cao, "Li Hui and Li De'ang, under the Liangzhou Army's tent, have met Cao Gong!"

Cao Cao said, "Sir, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"

After Li Hui sat down, he heard Cheng Yu ask, "Now the two sides are fighting in Huai County. I wonder what the sir is coming this time?"

Li Hui said: "I brought a letter from my lord, and I asked me to pass it on to Cao Gong in person!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "I don't know where the letters are?"

Li Hui took out his lord's handwritten letter from his arms. At this time, Cheng Yu had already come to Li Hui, and Li Hui handed the letter to him, and finally Cheng Yu presented it to Cao Cao. After all, there were Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Li Hui in the room, and there was no servant. With Cao Cao's cautiousness, it was impossible for Li Hui to submit the letter to him in person no matter what, so it was better for his own people to rest assured.

After Cao Cao took the letter, he took out the letter and opened it. It was indeed the handwriting of his brother Meng Qi. After looking at the content, Ma Chao first talked about the past several years, and he could not forget it, and of course Cao Cao did not forget it either. Later, Ma Chao also said that he had not seen him for so many years in a flash, and since he had challenged Dong, he had never met Brother Meng De again. But now he wrote to you Brother Meng De, but in this situation. Finally, Ma Chao talked about making peace with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and then asked him to withdraw his troops.

After reading Ma Chao's handwritten letter, Cao Cao also had a lot of emotion. He had to sigh. Who would have thought that his former friend was now in war. But he had to do so. Even if the relationship was good, the hostile relationship could not be changed. There was only one winner, and he and Meng Qi were destined to be hostile.

At this time, Cao Cao handed the letter to Cheng Yu and asked him to see it. Then he said to Li Hui: "Is this what your lord wants?"

Li Hui smiled: "Yes, Mr. Cao should know that my lord did not want to go to war with Mr. Cao's Yanzhou army, so he specially asked Hui to come here to discuss peace with Mr. Cao and persuade Mr. Cao to withdraw his troops!"

After hearing Li Hui's words, Cao Cao really wanted to say, what else do you want if I don't retreat? However, Cao Cao suddenly felt that what he said was meaningless at all. Because if he said this, it would be contrary to his own ideas, even Li Hui could say a lot of truths and let him retreat, so this was useless. Rather than doing this, it would be better to say something useful.

As a result, Cao Cao talked about family matters with Li Hui at this time. Of course, it was not about his own or Li Hui's. Instead, he asked Ma Chao that Cao Cao had been asking about his two children who were born a few years ago from Ma Chao's mother, younger brother and sister.

Although Ma Chao had a daughter and son, only his family and his subordinates knew about it, and no one else told him about Ma Chao, but basically everyone in the world knew about it. Ma Chao had a pair of children, and did he have twins? Cao Cao was no exception.

Li Hui also told Cao Cao everything he knew. After all, this is not a secret thing. Moreover, because Cao Mengde is so familiar with his lord, it doesn’t matter if he says it. Li Hui knew that even if he was his lord, he would support him.

After hearing Li Hui say that Ma Chao's only sister is about to get married in June this year, Cao Cao seemed very happy. He said to Li Hui: "Sir, please tell your lord when you go back, and I will send someone to offer generous gifts at that time! Meng Qi's sister is my Cao Mengde's sister. Although I can't go to congratulate myself, it will definitely give you my wishes!"

"I thanked Cao Gong in the next lord!"

Li Hui really admired Cao Cao. Although he was not hostile, he could see that Cao Mengde was indeed a person with a temperament. No wonder his lord had a good relationship with him. This is not unreasonable.

Hearing that Ma Chao's sister Ma Yun-Te is going to marry someone, Zhao Yun, the current governor of Yizhou, Cao Cao had to think a lot. Of course, he knew Zhao Yun's name, and he also had some information about him. It is said that he studied under Tong Yuan and had excellent martial arts skills, so he was definitely not inferior to Cui Fuda and Zhang Yide. He was quite brave and strategic, and he made great contributions to Ma Chao in the Battle of Yizhou. Unfortunately, Cao Cao had never seen him with his own eyes, otherwise he would know if he was like this.

But even so, Cao Cao knew that the so-called "no vain scholar under the reputation" was that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were two years younger than his brother Meng Qi, so how could his brother Meng Qi pay so much attention to him has to show that he is a person with real skills. Now even his brother Meng Qi's sister is going to marry him, which is too right.

In Cao Cao's view, this is a means by Ma Chao to win over his subordinates and marry him. If his subordinates have such talents, although he cannot marry his sister, he must marry his daughter to the other person. This kind of marriage relationship is definitely better than strangers. At least for Cao Cao, if he marrys his daughter to someone, then he will trust this person more than ordinary people. This is the reason.

------------------------------------------------------

Cheng Yu had already read Ma Chao's handwritten letter. Cao Cao secretly gave Cheng Yu a wink. Cheng Yu understood and nodded slightly to his lord. That's what he meant, look at his subordinates.

Cheng Yu smiled at Li Hui, "Mr. De'ang came to our army to negotiate peace today. I wonder how much sincerity he brought?"

Of course, this sincerity does not refer to that sincerity, but real interests and benefits, sincerity in this sense.
