Just as Liu Bei and Ouyang Fu were preparing to visit Jiangdong, the negotiations between Cao Cao and Lu Bu had already entered another new stage.

Cao Cao originally wanted to surrender, so at this time he had no other ideas. He just needed to talk about everything with good looks.

Lu Bu didn't even need to work hard on this, he just needed to drink well, because Zhuge Liang could handle this for him, and it was very clever, because Zhuge Liang would never let them suffer losses, and he could also take good care of each other.

It is precisely because of this that everything is natural under this situation, and basically no one can resist a temptation, their temptation to survive at this time.

Although there are many things to be particular about, in the end, it is still the most important thing to survive. If you can’t even survive, what’s the point?

So there is some unwillingness in their hearts, but there are more other thoughts. In this case, they are even a little lucky in their hearts because some people are really afraid that Cao Cao will go crazy and will do the besiege of Jingzhou again.

Although they would execute Cao Cao's orders without hesitation, if they could survive, who would be willing to die? It is precisely because of this that they were still very, very happy at this time.

The same is true for Cao Cao. Cao Cao directly handed over his affairs to his men. He felt that even now, nothing could stop them, so there would be no situation under such circumstances.

So at this time, he doesn't need to say anything anymore, he just needs to drink well with Lu Bu.

While drinking, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "What will the general plan to do next? Do I need me to help the general cheat? Do I need me to help the general lead the army of Liu Bei and Sun Quan?"

In fact, Cao Cao's words were very skillful, because before, it was because Lu Bu used this trick that he successfully deceived Cao Cao and successfully deceived all his army. Then he easily took over his territory.

It seems that the same was true when he attacked Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Before he set out, his opponent moved first. At that time, Lu Bu conquered Ma Chao and Ma Teng and his sons, but no one in the world knew about it, only Lu Bu knew about it. This is a very, very powerful part of Lu Bu.

So there is actually no problem with Cao Cao's question. If cooperation is needed, Cao Cao would definitely cooperate with Lu Bu to perform a big drama without saying a word, cheating out all Liu Bei and Sun Quan's troops, and then cheating all the other party.

This is a one-time and all-out method, and it can be done very well, because this is because of the time difference. No one knows that Cao Cao is hunched, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu has other situations.

But what Cao Cao did not expect was that this time Lu Bu actually rejected his request, and at the same time refused very thoroughly.

Looking at Lu Bu who was shaking his head, Cao Cao asked unwillingly: "Does the general not believe me? Why are he unwilling to implement my plan?"

Lu Bu drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "It's not that he doesn't believe in General Cao, but because he doesn't need to do this. If he does this, he really doesn't want to do it. We just want to kill the other party with integrity."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then said with some unthinking smiles: "But why does the general have a good method? You don't have to use risky methods. If I tricked Liu Bei and Sun Quan's army out to play part-time jobs, we basically can't consume too much and can defeat the other party."

"But if we do not use this method but declare war head-on, although we can win in the end, is our losses too great? Just Jingzhou will make people have to be on guard."

Cao Cao was right. Jingzhou's city was very strong and tall, and ordinary people could not attack it at all. It was like his 200,000 army had been attacking for a whole day, but it had not yet been attacked. Although it almost attacked in the end, the result did not change. He just did not attack it.

Moreover, the losses were very heavy, so in this case, some other methods were needed to break the other party's city gate. It is precisely because of this that there can be a situation of reducing casualties.

But now Lu Bu rejected his suggestions. Cao Cao had only one idea in his mind, that is, Lu Bu was afraid of him. Lu Bu thought he was lying to him, so he did not dare to use his own strategy, so he refused his suggestions. It was precisely because of this, and it was precisely because of this situation that there was no better method.

Although Cao Cao was very angry in his heart, he could not say anything, because under such circumstances, he could not say anything. In this case, he could only accept his fate because he had chosen to join the other party.

Zhuge Liang seemed to notice the situation here, and then smiled and said, "General Cao must not mind. In fact, we had already discussed it before the way we came. Even if General Cao did not have these actions today, we would use this method to attack Jingzhou."

"We are not distrusted by the general, but because in this case, we need a great victory to become stronger, otherwise, other people will not be able to convince the public."

"So please believe us, it is definitely not because of fear of the general, nor is it because of other situations. Instead of using General Cao's strategy, we just have some other solutions long ago."

What else could Cao Cao say when he heard this? People had already said so clearly. They could not force them anyway. And at this time, he had already been to some extent that Lu Bu's ministers could not go to the Zishan Studio.

It was also because of this that he could not say anything more, so he could only nod and agree. In fact, he did not want to agree, but under such circumstances, he had to agree.
