Chapter 87: Drinking, solving doubts, and discussing the world (Part 1)

According to Adou's understanding of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is definitely not the kind of person who will ignore his life for certain things. In Cao Cao's eyes, his life will always be the first priority. So in this situation, what Cao Cao thought of must be how to save his life.

However, when A Dou saw Cao's soldiers on the three layers inside and three layers around him, A Dou was a little overwhelmed. If it weren't for Cao Cao's hands, he would have been caught. In this situation, Cao Cao really became his life-saving ace. As long as Cao Cao was in his hands, Cao's army would not dare to act rashly when he threw himself into a rat and was afraid of his weapons.

It seems that Cao Cao was also very clear about this point, so he was so calm.

At this time, Sima Yi had already walked out. At first, Adou didn't pay attention, but not long after, Adou heard the sound of soldiers mobilizing outside. Adou sensitively noticed something was wrong.

A Dou took a light breath and then quietly began to feel Cao Cao beside Cao Cao. At this time, A Dou felt that Cao Cao was too calm. Not only was he not panicked at all, but he felt a little bit lustful.

There is a conspiracy! Adou frowned. Now this is Cao's camp, and there are enemies around him. It's too dangerous. It's hard to guarantee that he would be accidentally plotted into the game and lose everything. If he could leave Cao Cao's camp now, it would be great.

Thinking of this, Adou said, "Prime Minister, how about going to the riverside with me?" After that, he mentioned Cao Cao and left without caring about Cao Cao's opinions.

Of course, A Dou did not walk through the main gate. Who said that the distance between more than ten feet in front of Cao's army was Cao's army? A Dou kicked the Yitian Sword on the ground with his feet. The Yitian Sword jumped up and fell into A Dou's hand. Then A Dou lined backwards and came to the edge of the big tent. Then the Yitian Sword gently stroked, and a big hole was cut out of the big tent. A Dou and Cao Cao got out like this.

All this was too unexpected. No one expected that Adou would cut through the tent and run out. When Adou pulled Cao Cao out, everyone realized it and rushed over and rushed towards the hole. However, the hole was too small, only one or two people were allowed to pass by. Everyone squeezed over and would definitely not be able to get out, and the tent suddenly became a mess again.

Adou came outside the camp and looked up. Then he found that Cao's army was constantly mobilizing outside, and the crowds were running back and forth, and groups of archers rushed towards the direction of the big tent.

Seeing Adou suddenly coming out of the tent and holding Cao Cao in his hand, all the soldiers were stunned, and stopped and looked at them.

Seeing this kind of mobilization, and all of them are aimed at the direction of the camp, fools can understand what traps are being placed against themselves.

Looking at the groups of archers around him, Adou frowned slightly. Speaking of which, Adou was not afraid of close combat with real swords and guns. It was just enough to use Adou's martial arts, but a large number of archers were enough to give Adou a headache. When facing hundreds of archers, at such a close distance, people would take several rounds of volleys, even if Adou's martial arts were good, they could not avoid it.

At this time, Sima Yi came out of the crowd and saw A Dou and Cao Cao's faces changed slightly. Speaking of which, when Cao Cao appointed Sima Yi as the general of the army, Sima Yi understood that Cao Cao was A Dou's amulet, so Cao Cao's life would not be in danger. Cao Cao made such arrangements to make arrangements to capture A Dou.

So Sima Yi ran out to arrange it. The first thing Sima Yi thought of was archers. Sima Yi had just seen the level of A Dou's close combat, so Sima Yi chose a long-range army like archers to limit A Dou. Sima Yi also knew that no matter how powerful you were, you would not be able to avoid thousands of archers, so Sima Yi mobilized almost all the archers in the camp.

However, Sima Yi had not completed the arrangement at this time, and Adou's appearance completely disrupted Sima Yi's plan.

However, Sima Yi was decisive. At Sima Yi's order, all the archers hurriedly bent their bows and arrows and aimed them at Adou.

Seeing these archers, A Dou immediately realized that this directly affected his escape plan. According to A Dou's original idea, after Guan Yu passed Xiangyang, he would take Cao Cao outside a camp and release Cao Cao. By then, with his own light skills, Cao's army would not be able to catch up even if they wanted to.

However, now that so many archers follow him, this plan is useless. Just imagine if he just let Cao Cao go, hundreds of arrows shot towards him, and he would not be able to avoid him at all. Sima Yi's move was to prevent himself from escaping.

Adou really wanted to tie Cao Cao all the way to Shangyong. In that case, he could at least ensure his safety, but it was even more uncomfortable for Cao Cao than killing him. Cao Cao had been in the Central Plains for decades, and if he was captured to Liu Bei's territory, it would be a stain that would be difficult for Cao Cao to wash away in his life. Such stains were almost unbearable to this old man.

A Dou always had a special feeling for Cao Cao. Although he could not say he liked Cao Cao, Cao Cao taught himself the "New Book of Meng De" after all. As the saying goes, he was short of people and had short hands. A Dou still felt a little grateful to Cao Cao in his heart.

A Dou is a person with a clear distinction between gratitude and gratitude. From another perspective, Cao Cao is considered to be kind to himself. Although A Dou doesn't want this "gratitude", based on this point, A Dou will not take Cao Cao's life. What's more, A Dou also knows that Cao Cao actually only has one year of life. According to historical records, Cao Cao will die of illness in one year. For such an old man who only has one year of life, A Dou really can't bear to hit him again.

"Let him live the last year of his life quietly! I'll give him a favor!" A Dou sighed in his mind. The righteousness of the hero in his previous life popped up again. At this moment, A Dou gave up the idea of ​​tied Cao Cao to Shangyong. A Dou didn't even want to make any moves to hurt Cao Cao.

It seems that I have to use the second solution!

"Prime Minister, how about we go to the riverside to talk?" A Dou said suddenly.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, nodded, and his heart was filled with differences. Originally, Cao Cao thought that Adou might have kidnapped him, or threatened his life to ask Sima Yi to remove the archer, but unexpectedly, Adou would actually let him go to the riverside to talk.

Cao Cao nodded. At this time, Cao Cao could feel in his heart that Adou didn't want to hurt him. So Cao Cao agreed happily.

Cao's army camp is not very far from Xiangjiang River. To be precise, this section of Xiangjiang River is where four rivers, including Han River, Dan River, and Zhejiang River gather. It is precisely because of this that the river water in this section is constantly turbulent, much more turbulent than the downstream. Even now it is winter, there is no freezing here, and the rolling river water is still rushing by.

A Dou and Cao Cao stood side by side by side, each holding a pot of wine. Behind the two, there were seven or eight hundred archers waiting for the battle. At this time, A Dou's hand did not hold Cao Cao's throat, but almost everyone was sure that at such a close distance, A Dou wanted Cao Cao's life in the blink of an eye.

At the front of the archer group, Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhen stared at A Dou in a flash, fearing that A Dou would be unfavorable to Cao Cao, while Sima Yi stood by the side with a calm face, looking like a bystander.

"Zhongda, you think of a solution!" Cao Zhen next to him urged.

Cao Zhen was really surprised at the beginning of Cao Cao's request to Sima Yi to lead the army. Cao Zhen's opinion was that there were Cao Cao's brothers and Cao Cao's godson, but Cao Cao chose Sima Yi as an outsider.

However, Sima Yi's performance was indeed very good next time, and he was brave and sophisticated in his work, which also convinced Cao Zhen. At the same time, Cao Zhen also began to be afraid of Sima Yi.

Hearing Cao Zhen asks him to find a solution, Sima Yi said expressionlessly: "Major General, don't be impatient. If what I expected is right, there will definitely be no problem with His Highness the safety of His Highness King Wei."

"If you say there is no problem, there is no problem? If something happens to your father, I will ask you!" Cao Zhen snorted coldly.

At this time, A Dou, who was by the river, felt the cold wind blowing from the river and sighed slightly with emotion. Although this place is not the Yangtze River, looking at Cao Cao beside him, A Dou always involuntarily remembered the Battle of Red Cliff.

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and chanted, "How much life is like singing to wine? It's like morning dew, the past is full of suffering. I feel generous with my heart, and my worries are unforgettable. How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao said: "It is best for me to be Du Kang in my life. It is a great joy for me to drink and sing with a confidant! I used to discuss heroes with your father when I was cooking wine. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed! I did not read it wrong back then. In the world, only your father and I can be regarded as the word "hero"!"

"Hot wine hurts the liver, cold wine hurts the lungs. Prime Minister, it's better to drink less wine!" After A Dou finished speaking, he changed his voice: "But some wines are different. Over the years, I have picked wild fruits in Mount Emei in Sichuan and brewed a wine called Monkey Drunken. I will give some to the Prime Minister to try another day!"

"Monkey drunk? A good name! But you don't have to give it to me. I'll ask you to pick it up another day!" Cao Cao replied with a smile.

Adou was slightly stunned and heard what Cao Cao said. Just now, Audou said that the monkey brewed in Shu was drunk, and Cao Cao said that he would go to take it in person, so his consciousness naturally wanted to send troops to Bashu and capture Chengdu!

Thinking of this, Adou sighed slightly. Cao Cao would die of illness tomorrow and attack Bashu. Cao Cao probably won't be able to wait for that day.

Suddenly, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Adou, and suddenly spoke, "When did you come to Jingzhou?"

"I heard that my second uncle was attacking Xiangyang, so I rushed over. I thought I could save Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that I was still one step late!" A Dou said.

"Haha, Yun Chang is arrogant. Such a person may be invincible in capturing the city, but it is probably not his strength to defend the city. Even if you come early, Yun Chang will still attack Xiangyang, and Jingzhou will be lost!" Cao Cao pointed out Guan Yu's biggest shortcomings incisively.

Adou was a little stunned. Although Adou didn't want to admit it, what Cao Cao said was indeed reasonable. Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and although there were some careless elements in it, Guan Yu's proud personality made some inevitable factors mixed with the loss of Jingzhou. Even if Adou came in advance, he could not persuade Guan Yu.

"I didn't expect that Fu Shiren has been betrayed! Otherwise, if Jiangling could be defended, the situation would not be so bad!" Adou said.

"So you have been to Gangling?"

Adou nodded again, while Cao Cao laughed: "Since that's the case, you are the one who in the legendary person who injured Zhou Tai!"

"Not bad!" Adou admitted it straightforwardly. Meng Da and Liu Feng and others knew about this matter, and Adou was not prepared to hide it for long.

"That handful of smoke at the fork in the road is also your masterpiece?" Cao Cao continued.

"I want to thank you Prime Minister for your "New Book of Meng De."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Cao Cao opened his eyes wide, then shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that none of my sons had obtained the true teachings of my military art, but you learned it! It's really God's will torment!"

"Where is Cao Zhang? Didn't he learn it?" A Dou asked. In A Dou's mind, Cao Pi was good at politics, while Cao Zhi liked poetry and songs. Both of them were not very good at leading troops to fight, while Cao Zhang liked to play swords and swords, and had great military achievements. He should have learned some of Cao Cao's military tactics.

"Is Ziwen? He is too far away!" Cao Cao said, "Although Ziwen is a good person, he is also a general, but he is not worthy of it. If you want to wear a strong and hold a sharp edge, stand up when you encounter danger, don't hesitate to look back, lead by example; and you will be rewarded for your merits, and punished for your crimes. Ziwen did a good job. However, these are the ways of generals. A true general should know how to advance and retreat, be astronomy, understand geography, and be clear about the enemy and us. Those who are talented are good at controlling soldiers, and those who are talented are good at controlling generals!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao sighed, "Although Ziwen is more brave, he is far inferior to you! In terms of courage, wit, martial arts, and mind, no one of my sons can compare to you. I really don't know why Liu Bei was so lucky to have you! I heard that Liu Bei has not yet established a heir, so I really don't know what Liu Bei hesitated about. If you are my son, I will make you his heir!"

"The Prime Minister praised it! In fact, whether it is Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, or Cao Zhi, they are all outstanding people in the world." Adou replied without any pain.

"Renjie? Alas..." Cao Cao suddenly sighed: "Actually, what I like more in my heart is Zijian."

The Zi Jian mentioned by Cao Cao is Cao Zhi.

"Then why did the Prime Minister still make Cao Pi the crown prince?" A Dou asked.

Cao Cao smiled helplessly: "Ziwen is good at martial arts, and he is a brave general. However, when it comes to governing the country, Ziwen is too far behind. Zihuan and Zijian both have great talents, but when it comes to courage, Zijian is indeed not as good as Zihuan. Speaking of which, Zijian is too indecisive. But I originally like Zijian because of Zijian, and it is also because of Zijian indecisive."
