Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters temptation
The book is followed last time.
"This..." Cao Cao was moved after hearing Li Zhidi's words, but he did not dare to give this order easily.
Because, it may be a small matter for reason to say that 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses are a small matter for Cao Cao, but for Cao Cao, it is an absolute big matter. Now all the princes in the world are ready to move, and there are only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Even if the aristocratic family has obtained more than 100,000 prisoners, these prisoners have not been adjusted yet, and they can form effective combat power in at least one year. So if he distributes 40,000 soldiers and horses, then he will only have 20,000 to 30,000 people in his hands. What will he use to guard the lands of the states that he will get?
Although he was determined to ask Li Zhi for troops, he did not do so.
Because he wants to take revenge on his own strength!
That's right, it's revenge!
He organized the princes to fight against Dong, but returned in a great defeat!
Although they eventually forced Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, in Cao Cao's opinion, he was defeated!
So he wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Dong Zhuo, and he had already avenged his past revenge.
If he borrowed Li Zhi's troops, wouldn't it be like Li Zhi avenged him? Cao Cao's self-esteem did not allow him to do so!
Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao, who was full of hesitation, and after thinking for a while, he thought about his difficulties.
Then Li Zhi smiled and said, "If Brother Meng De can trust me, then I will take over Brother Meng De's territory in full, and Brother Meng De personally went to attack Liangzhou.
It would not be too late to take back the territory after Brother Meng De threatened Dong Zhuo to be promoted to Brother Meng De.”
Speaking of this, he stared at Cao Cao tightly to see how he answered.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also chooses his king!
Cao Cao tested him several times, and he planned to respond once this time, test Cao Cao and see if Cao Cao was willing to hand over his territory to him.
"This..." Cao Cao hesitated after hearing Li Zhi's words.
Li Zhi's words were equivalent to saying that he would give all his life and life to Li Zhi!
Although he believed that Li Zhi would not reveal any unwise things, he still felt a little hesitant.
After all, Cao Cao was essentially a little sensitive and suspicious, so he was really reluctant to let him hand over his life to one person.
But he looked up accidentally and saw that Li Zhi was so disappointed, and his heart skipped a beat!
He knew that if he refused, although Li Zhi would not say anything, he would definitely leave a knot in his heart!
And if this seed of distrust grows into a towering tree, Li Zhi may not support him anymore!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked up with a serious expression and said to Li Zhi: "What did Brother Xingzhi say?
Xingzhi’s virtuous brother has helped him to be a brother many times, how can he believe that Xingzhi’s virtuous brother is not trusted?!
Since that's the case, then it's decided!
Wei brother handed over all his territory to Xingzhi brother."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked serious and seemed very happy.
But Li Zhi saw a hint of reluctance and worry in the depths of Cao Cao's eyes.
"Oh..." After hearing Cao Cao's words and seeing the reluctant expression in Cao Cao's eyes, Li Zhi sighed secretly in his heart and thought, "It seems that Cao Cao still doesn't trust me completely!"
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again, "This is normal. For every monarch who is determined to be the world, he cannot trust anyone.
Even if that person is his parents and children, he cannot trust him!
Because once he trusts the wrong person, what he will lose will not be his own life, but the whole world!
So, they don’t want to, and cannot trust anyone!”
Although Li Zhi felt a little sad, he also understood Cao Cao.
So after hearing Cao Cao's words, he pondered for a while and said, "However, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guan Yu and others need to be on guard against other places, and there is no general available in the hands of the Xia.
Therefore, I asked Brother Meng De to keep one of the two brothers Xiahou and lead a 100,000 army to guard the land under the jurisdiction of Brother Meng De."
"..." Cao Cao's face turned red after hearing Li Zhi's words.
He now feels that he is really shameless to meet people!
Compared to Li Zhi's selflessness, his little thoughts are really too dirty!
He knew that the reason why Li Zhi sat like this was nothing more than seeing his reluctance and hesitation, so he asked one of the two Xiahou brothers to lead these troops to garrison his territory.
In this way, it is no different from Cao Cao's use of his own troops to garrison.
He can't trust others, can he trust the second brothers Xiahou?
So, Li Zhi did this to comfort his heart in disguise.
When Cao Cao thought of this, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into it. It was so embarrassing!
Compared to Li Zhi's rationality and selflessness, Cao Cao was like a villain, guarding against others everywhere!
This strong contrast made Cao Cao feel ashamed!
"Xingzhi is really shameful!" Cao Cao covered his face with his sleeves and said loudly with shame.
"..." Xiahou Dun, who was beside him, also stared at him blankly after hearing Li Zhi's words.
He really didn't expect that Li Zhi would be so generous.
If it were him, even if he did not show it after being trusted by others, he would always feel a little unhappy in his heart.
But Li Zhike was very happy. Not only was he not angry, he thought about Cao Cao everywhere, which made him very impressed.
Then, he bowed deeply to Li Zhi and said, "General Cavalry is indeed an extraordinary person! Someone admires him!"
Xiahou Dun was a rough and delicate person. Seeing that Cao Cao was in a difficult situation at this time, he immediately stood up and changed the topic to help Cao Cao relieve him.
"Hu..." Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiahou Dun's words.
He really didn't know how to face Li Zhiliao just now.
When Li Zhi saw Xiahou Dun saluting him, he hurriedly raised his hand and helped him: "General Xiahou said something, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
After saying that, he said to Cao Cao who had calmed down a little, "Brother Meng De, as the saying goes, one guest is extraordinary and two masters. Since General Xiahou is here, then let him lead the army be left to him?"
"This... is good!" Cao Cao originally thought that Xiahou Dun was just a reckless man who only knew how to beat and kill.
But today he realized that although Xiahou Dun was rude on the surface, he was very delicate inside.
Just like Cao Cao could see that the reason why Xiahou Dun respected Li Zhi and praised Li Zhi was just to save himself.
How could a person who reacts so quickly be a reckless man who only knows how to beat and kill?
So Cao Cao handed the matter over to Xiahou Dun with confidence.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Dun immediately clasped his fists and said to Cao Cao and Li Zhi with a solemn expression: "Please rest assured, a family will never let down your trust!
After arriving in Xuzhou and other places, a certain family will do their best to protect the lord's foundation and not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Well" Li Zhi nodded after hearing this, stood up and said to Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao, "Since that's the case, then I won't be stupid here. I'd better go to the military camp to select the army and go and see those captured families."
Cao Cao, who had been completely calmed down, stood up and nodded with a smile after hearing Li Zhi's words, and said, "It's good, to be honest, Brother Wei has always wanted to see Li Xingzhi's military camp.
But in the past, either I didn’t have time or was embarrassed to speak to my brother Xingzhi. Now I have the opportunity to see the whole picture at a glance, and I can’t get it for you!”
"The lord is right!" Xiahou Dun, who was standing beside him, nodded immediately in agreement after hearing Cao Cao's words and said in accordance with his words: "I have always heard people say how powerful the army of General Cavalry is, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Now a certain family finally has the opportunity to feast their eyes!"
After saying that, he followed Li Zhidi impatiently and urged: "General Cavalry, hurry up... let's go to your military camp."
