Chapter 481 Disappointing Yuan Shao
But there was no time for the two of them to communicate more. After a little thought, Cao Cao stood up and spoke: "What I said at the beginning is correct. There are many doubts about this matter without any evidence."
Zhang Miao, who had been silent, immediately stopped hearing Cao Cao's words. But before he could stand up to argue, Cao Cao raised his hand and corrected himself: "No, no, it is a lot of misunderstandings and misunderstandings. Since it is a misunderstanding, then my brothers and I should not have been called for a fight and a killing. But in the beginning, you said that they would not send troops and soldiers to defend their territory. Is it a mistake?"
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is a mistake!"
Cao Cao followed up and said, "The first two punishments are written as the first, but I want to add one. Since Meng Zhuo and his brother cannot use the troops in their hands well, I will cut off some of the troops in their hands."
When he heard that Cao Cao had agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal of punishment for the salary and half a level of punishment, Xun Yu almost couldn't help but get up to stop him. But later, when he heard that Cao Cao wanted to cut off Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao's troops stopped. Then he thought that this would achieve the goal they expected. Although it was not the most ideal, it was also good. If he and Cao Cao had imagined, he would remove Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's prefecture and take him into the prefecture as a idle worker. Now it seems that it is unlikely that Yuan Shao's arrival will be achieved.
Just as Xun Yu finished thinking, Cao Cao also gave him a look of inquiry. Xun Yu nodded slightly, as if he had agreed to Cao Cao's opinion.
When Cao Cao turned around and wanted to continue to talk about his punishment note, he found that Yuan Shao was still lowering his head and pondering. After thinking for a long time, he was not sure whether Cao Cao's proposal was good or not. So he simply leaned back and asked Ju Shu's opinions openly after half a seat was missing.
Ju Su felt a little embarrassed to judge how to punish the two county prefects in front of everyone. He just leaned forward in front of Yuan Shao's ear and muttered softly.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded and turned to Cao Cao, "How many soldiers and horses are Meng De planning to replace?"
Cao Zhi waited for Yuan Shao's words for a long time, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Damn! Yuan Shao has to think about such a little thing for so long, and he also has to consult a counselor. Is this guy sick recently?"
Just when Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Zhi teasing Yuan Shao and couldn't stop laughing, Cao Cao quickly made his request: "Chen Liu's 30,000 troops and more than 10,000 troops and more than 10,000 troops in Yongqiu were replaced with 3,000, and Sima and the Duwei have all made new arrangements."
"No!" Zhang Miao could no longer bear it. He felt that he had never done anything to be sorry for others. What Cao Cao said was that he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a headquarter, which might make some sense, but now he bargained to withdraw his troops like a vendor like a merchant. Zhang Miao knew very well that if he had lost his troops in this era, he would have any power and good words, so it would be better to kill him!
Zhang Miao stood up excitedly and opposed loudly: "Cao Mengde, please just find a charge and kill me. If you want to replace my troops, don't even think about it, hum!"
He said this and Zhang Miao turned his hands down and said a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. At this moment, his expression was much more calm than before.
Before Cao Cao got angry, Yuan Shao quickly smoothed out and said, "Oh, it's not easy to be a peacemaker for you two. Don't be excited. Don't shout about life and death. Are we discussing this again! Mengde, you are too much. Three thousand people are not enough to guard a county, and you can think of it. In this way, both of you have to take a step back. Meng Zhuo and Zhang Chao have a total of less than 50,000 troops. I decided to allocate a total of 20,000 troops to Mengde's prefecture, which is a punishment for not resisting this time. I will write another letter to return, and my family's elders will ask the elders of the royal family to talk about the highway guy, so that he can turn back and apologize to Mengde and make a compensation. I think this is the case. Do you think it's okay?"
After Yuan Shao said this, he even put on a bossy accent, as if Cao Cao and Zhang Miao disagreed with his final proposal.
Cao Cao thought about it, then communicated with Xun Yu's eyes and immediately agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal. Zhang Miao had to argue. Zhang Chao, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, hurriedly hugged his brother's waist and replied in a hurry to replace Zhang Miao: "Okay, okay, just follow the Yuanzhou Mu!"
"Haha, it's great! How good is everyone being harmonious? Will they still be a family in the future?"
Yuan Shao was entertaining himself and said happily that most people in the venue were funny. Why is Yuan Shao so impatient? He really likes to cut the mess quickly when dealing with things.
There was only one person in the field who almost jumped with his feet without any haste. This person was Ju Su, the first counselor in Yuan Shao's position. Ju Su thought to himself: "Yuan Benchu, why are you anxious? Things have turned into bargaining political negotiations. Why should you rush to Zhang Miao to allocate 20,000 troops? There is a chance to bargain again. Alas! Didn't you want to show kindness to Zhang Miao and use him to restrain Cao Cao? Now you are like a prodigal son, who has sold nearly half of Zhang Miao's hands. How could he help you restrain Cao Cao? Besides, Zhang Miao will definitely not be satisfied with your hasty approach. Whether you can obey you in the future is a matter of two things!"
Yuan Shaoli ignored Ju Su's anxious coughing and slightly complaining eyes. After Cao Cao and Zhang Chao agreed to his plan, he laughed out loud, pulled Cao Cao with one hand and Zhang Miao with the other, forcibly put them together and asked them to shake hands and make peace.
A farce, a bargaining like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, finally came to an end under Yuan Shao's random competition.
Yuan Shao felt that he had finished this serious business. While breathing a sigh of relief, he did not treat himself as an outsider and questioned Cao Cao's hospitality method. He kept shouting, and he said for a long time, but he didn't even give him a glass of water.
Cao Cao suddenly felt that he was about to ask his servants to send tea, but Yuan Shao asked again: "It's cold and cold, drinking tea is boring, it's better to drink wine!"
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, then turned around and ordered the servants to start dinner early.
Cao Zhi was helpless with this farce and was even more disappointed with Yuan Shao. He also wrote a letter to his elders. Yuan Shu, a prodigal son, could not have such a messy situation now. He felt that it was useless to stay here, and that food could not be eaten. Cao Zhi was planning to leave the table alone and go back to his room.
At this moment, Yuan Shao didn't know that his eye saw him. When Cao Zhi had just gotten up and turned around and was about to leave, Yuan Shao's voice sounded behind him: "Brother Zhi, where are you going? Come on, come on, you little devil, I want to ask you about Yuan Xiao, you almost killed him, do you know?"
Cao Zhi turned around awkwardly. Cao Zhi almost forgot about this. Now that he has been brought up by Yuan Shao's old story, Cao Zhi, who has not turned around, couldn't help but blush. He knew that he was the one who was in the wrong, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would ask him about this when he saw him. He couldn't help but blushed and whisper: "Brother Yuan Shau, is he okay?"
Yuan Shao took advantage of the time when the servants were cooking on the table, and walked to Xiahou Yuan's table. He looked at Cao Zhi with a conspiracy and said, "Can it be fine? Thousands of people were broken in Shouchun, and he ran back alone, crying and calling for his parents that you were unfaithful and did not inform him, and he temporarily withdrew his troops? Are you too unrighteous?"
When Xiahou Yuan saw that Yuan Shao was going to talk to Cao Zhi, he bowed to Yuan Shao tactfully, then stepped back and walked to another place.
Cao Zhi was not going to give Yuan Shao any good look, but he did something that was sorry for him. Cao Zhi could only bite the bullet and said, "My...Is there nothing I can do about that..."
"Hehe..." Yuan Shao saw Cao Zhi hesitantly, suddenly withdrew his serious expression of reprimand and said with a smile: "I have heard that it is normal for young people to be close friends, but they can't just leave, right?"
"Ah! Yes, yes." Cao Zhi thought that Yuan Shao had heard about the matter between him and Xiao Qiao, so he misunderstood that he gave up attacking Shouchun City for the sake of a woman. Cao Zhi quickly responded randomly. It was a good thing if he was wrong.
Seeing Cao Zhi blushing and admitting, Yuan Shao completely put down his airs and laughed with Cao Zhi, hooked Cao Zhi's shoulders, and asked mysteriously: "What's that for this ridiculous thing...it's normal, haha... Your elder brother and I were ridiculous when we were young, it's nothing. But, I heard that Qiao Xuan's two daughters gave birth to a name, right? Hey, what kind of magic is it? I heard that you have wrapped the two daughters of Lao Qiao, is it true? Hey, do you prefer the older ones or the younger ones? You are so amazing, your elder brother and you are not as good as you. Alas! Young people are so amazing nowadays! If I meet such a fascinating woman, I will probably leave Yuan Xian's unreliable guy like you. Alas, tell me quickly and tell me how the two sisters are beautiful and magical?"
Cao Zhi was shocked again. He really wanted to re-reach Yuan Shao of the Three Kingdoms. Why is this person so gossiped? Can he become the future hero of the Central Plains? Cao Zhi was already fully dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and Cao Zhi felt that Yuan Shao had the potential to be an old reporter for gossip weekly, or a paparazzi is also a good talent.
Cao Zhi of course refused to answer Yuan Shao’s questions about personal privacy, but was just busy trying to get out and turn around.
Yuan Shao also said that Cao Zhi was thin-skinned and refused to tell him such things. Seeing Cao Zhi responding randomly, he was about to turn around and hurriedly grabbed Cao Zhi and said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, don't ask anymore. Brother Zhi, don't hurry to leave, why are young people so thin? Brother, I want to introduce you to a few people." After that, Yuan Shao grabbed Cao Zhi with one hand, turned to the main hall where Xixi was shouting, and shouted loudly: "Zhang He, Gao Lan has no choice but to go, come, come, let me introduce you. This is the Cao Zhi I often mention to you, and the Zhi brother I admire the most."
Cao Zhi heard it so awkwardly, and thought to himself: "When did you Yuan Shao admire me, Cao Zhi? It's not because of the legend that I have won the Qiao sisters..."
