739、Threat
Liu Zhe was unreasonable and looked slightly cold, and asked, "Chief General, don't you want to rebel?"
"Cough..." Cao Cao's thoughts turned and quickly changed his words, saying, "General Xu Rong is an important official appointed by the court to guard Tongguan. There is no fault. Why did the prefect send troops to attack Tongguan and kill General Xu Rong? Could it be that the Taiwei is the person who wants to rebel?"
Cao Cao did not answer Liu Zhe's words, but immediately changed the subject and deducted the big hat to Liu Zhe.
"What a joke. I heard that there were thieves in Yongzhou were in chaos!"
Liu Zhe sneered, disregarded Cao Cao's inversion and said loudly: "As the Grand Marshal, I am the emperor's uncle of the current emperor. When the emperor is young, I naturally have the responsibility to suppress the rebellion. When I lead the army here, I was actually intercepted by Xu Rong's troops, hindering me from suppressing the rebellion. Xu Rong's move is undoubtedly a rebel. If I don't destroy him, who will I destroy?"
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this. Although he had already known that Liu Zhe was shameless, he still felt that he did not have enough understanding of Liu Zhe and could even speak such lies with his eyes open.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner's face. Xu Rong is his subordinate, and everyone in the world knows it. If you don't give Xu Rong a face, you have to give him some face at least.
But Liu Zhe didn't give him any face and killed Xu Rong directly. Then he came to say this to him, which made Cao Cao's body tremble.
It's like someone kills a dog and then runs to the dog owner and says, "Your dog looks like a mad dog. If you want to bite me, I'll kill you."
If you beat your sister to death, if you didn’t cause trouble, who would provoke you?
Cao Cao really wanted to yell at Liu Zhe, Made, you are troublesome and you are like this.
Cao Cao held back his anger and said, "General Xu Rong belongs to me and is my subordinate. He is loyal to the court and will never betray the court. The Taiwei must have misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Liu Zhe shook his head and said with certainty: "There is nothing to misunderstand. Xu Rong took the lead in attacking me, and I fought back, and then he was killed by me. It's that simple."
Without waiting for Cao Cao to reply, Liu Zhe continued to speak: "Since Xu Rong belongs to General Cheqi, then it can be said that General Cheqi, you are not disciplined strictly. At that time, I will submit a report to the court to hold General Cheqi accountable for his lack of discipline."
Liu Zhe's words made Cao Cao so angry that he seemed to have killed the dog, and ran to question the dog owner. Before he could settle the score with him, he had to turn the tables first.
It's so shameless. Cao Cao was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up by Liu Zhe.
Cao Cao finally couldn't help it anymore and no longer wanted to circle around Liu Zhe. He said coldly: "Liu Zhe, Xu Rong is my subordinate, Tongguan is a checkpoint under my rule. You and I have never violated the rivers. You lead troops to attack for no reason. What is the meaning of it?"
Cao Cao stopped going around the circle, and Liu Zhe stopped playing with him. He put away his smile and looked at Cao Cao coldly. After staring at Cao Cao in his heart, he showed a cold smile and said, "Cao Cao, you and I understand your tricks in your heart, so don't pretend to be stupid here."
Although Cao Cao was slightly shocked, he still said coldly: "Since that's the case, I hope the Taiwei will return Tongguan to me."
The two of them were still smiling the moment before, but in a blink of an eye they turned against each other.
Even though they knew that the two of them were not dealing with each other, their subordinates still felt a little uncomfortable. The atmosphere changed too quickly and they did not adapt. Instead, Liu Zhe and Cao Cao looked as usual, did not feel any discomfort, and quickly entered their roles.
"Do you think it's possible?" Liu Zhe asked back with a faint sarcasm on his face.
Unless Liu Zhe was ignorant, he would return Tongguan to Cao Cao.
"Can't you see the 100,000 troops behind me?"
Cao Cao pointed at the rear, and the camp twenty miles behind him was vaguely visible. Of course, there was no more than 100,000 troops inside, and the forty thousand troops had been quietly taken out by Yu Jin to defend Zhang Liao.
"You only have 20,000 people in Tongguan. Do you want to stop my 100,000 army?"
"Well, there are a lot of people in one hundred thousand."
Liu Zhe's words were beyond Cao Cao's expectations. Liu Zhe touched his chin and sighed, saying, "This battle is really not easy to fight."
"Do you know you're scared?"
Cao Cao felt vaguely happy and hurriedly said, "If you know you are afraid, please return Tongguan to me immediately."
Liu Zhe said: "It's not impossible to return Tongguan to you, but you have to compensate me."
"real?"
Cao Cao suddenly became alert in his heart. Liu Zhe was not that kind of fool, so he asked: "What compensation do you want?"
Cao Cao's tone was deeply alert.
"Get out of Yongzhou and give it to me, so I will return it to you Tongguan."
Cao Cao heard this and immediately cursed, "If he loses Yongzhou, he still wants Tongguan to be fucked?"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Liu Zhe, don't force me. Once my 100,000 army attacks the city with all its might, I don't believe how long you can last."
