Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 49 A Covenant

As Cao Cao clapped his hands vigorously, heavy footsteps came from both sides of the tent.

At the same time, sunlight penetrated in, reflecting the shadows of their weapons on the curtains.

After a few breaths, the sides of the tent became quiet, and the light inside the tent was as bright as new.

"Ye Xiao, your third point is wrong, I really wanted to kill you just now!"

Cao Cao's figure was also fully revealed in the sunlight, and his majestic face made people unavoidably fearful.

"Then why, didn't you let those knives and axes rush in?"

Ye Xiao secretly thought in his heart, if it really came to this point, ten paces away, he asked Lu Bu to kidnap Cao Cao, and it would not be easy to return him with his whole body.

On the other hand, Lu Bu snorted coldly, he was secretly startled by the retreating swordsmen on both sides. "Hmph! Why should I, Lu Fengxian, be afraid of someone who inserts a label and sells the first person?"

Zhang Liao's expression did not change from the beginning to the end, but his fingers holding the sword were slightly tightened.

Seeing Ye Xiao's answer like this, Cao Cao sighed slightly, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Ye Xiao, to be honest, letting you go today, I really don't know if it will be something I, Cao Mengde, regret in the future."

Ye Xiao straightened his face, and Cao Cao's eyes revealed that he was really thinking about whether to kill the three of himself at the moment, so he had to raise his mind.

"I don't think Duke Cao will regret it. Zhang Xiu in Wancheng is incompetent but he still occupies Duke Cao's door to the west. Although Yuan Shao in Jizhou has not gone south for the time being, he is already eyeing him."

"Even Liu Jingsheng, who has no real name, has a strong army under his command. Ziming dares to say that the best choice is for you and me to form an alliance."

Cao Cao looked at Ye Xiao helplessly and vigilantly. This analysis was exactly the same as what his chief counselor Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao form an alliance with Lu Bu's army and deal with the situation in the north first.

Because Xiapi is located in a place where various forces are intertwined and entangled, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and even Sun Ce all want to get a share here.

A place where there has been a long battle must be a place where everyone is fighting. Guo Jia suggested to deal with the stability of the rear first, and wait for these people to finish fighting, and then become a fisherman.

So Guo Jia's final suggestion was to temporarily form an alliance with Lu Bu's army. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao would reveal his plan all at once.

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk to a smart person like General Ye."

Cao Cao had already agreed with his staff that this time he was inviting Lv Bu to sign an armistice agreement, and the two sides should not fight each other at will again.

"General Ye, these years of Yellow Turban cholera and Dong's usurpation of the country have caused the lives of the people to die, and the people are in dire straits. Cao feels that you and I should not fight each other easily again."

When Ye Xiao heard this, his heart became clear. Cao Cao's clichéd words were nothing more than a truce agreement.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao said, he waved for someone to bring up two covenant agreements that had already been written.

"Why don't you, General Ye, you and I make an armistice agreement, so how about not fighting each other at random again from today?"

Lu Bu was surprised, and he didn't understand why Cao Cao changed his face so quickly. The former was still black-faced and screaming, and after drinking a glass of wine, he said that he wanted to cease fighting and form an alliance!
Zhang Liao exhaled slightly, let go of the hilt of his sword, and looked at Ye Xiao with admiration, imperceptibly his level of loyalty soared.

Ye Xiao didn't know that Zhang Liao had been impressed by him to the point of being loyal to him. When he saw Cao Cao's unexpected olive branch of alliance, his face showed a radiant smile.

"Okay! The covenant that the prime minister mentioned is something we came here to discuss today. I didn't expect Prime Minister Cao to propose it first. I agree to form an alliance with the prime minister."

Ye Xiao made a covenant with Cao Cao, Lu Bu felt that he had won a victory in front of Cao Cao, and his face was very proud when he left.

However, after Lu Bu followed Ye Xiao out of the camp, he found that Cao Cao hadn't sent anyone to see them off.

"This Cao Mengde is still so stingy. We are already allies, and no one even wants to send us off!"

Lu Bu turned over and jumped onto the BMW, expressing his dissatisfaction in a low voice.

Ye Xiao compared the scroll of covenant in his hand, and his eyes fell on the healthy soldiers who kept busy walking nearby.

"Father-in-law, it's just a covenant. Don't think that Cao Cao's relationship with us is relaxing now. Have you forgotten the scene where they wanted to kill us before?"

Ye Xiao thought of the misery of being besieged in Xiapi City, and sighed slightly.

"There are no permanent friends, only benefits. I believe that Cao Cao will definitely come here when he sees me and others are weak."

Zhang Liao took this very seriously, he was familiar with the principle that soldiers never tire of deceit and that water is impermanent.

"My lord's words are very true. The final general thinks that Cao Cao will go back to stabilize the rear this time, and it is inevitable that there will be another war."

Ye Xiao nodded, and drove the steed to walk slowly in the camp. Cao Jun in front of him shouted and hurriedly retreated.

"So, my father-in-law, you can see that Cao Cao has capable men and powerful generals gathered, and there are strong soldiers like a forest, so you can't take it lightly."

After being told by Ye Xiao and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu suddenly realized that the situation was not as clear as he imagined, but with his limited brain capacity, he felt that the situation was extremely complicated.

Lu Bu's request was very simple, as long as Ye Xiao lived up to his painstaking efforts and treated his daughter well, it would be the most enjoyable for him to let Lu Bu free his hands and feet to break through the formation and kill the enemy on the battlefield.

"Hey! These things are for you to decide, my lord. In the future, where the lord wants me to kill, I will do as I order, and I promise to complete the order!"

Ye Xiao secretly sighed in his heart, the relationship between him and Lu Bu is the most perfect, not like the bondage of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers before.

"Father-in-law, let's go back! The wedding will be held in three days, so go back and make preparations."

When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed loudly and followed Ye Xiao away.

……

Ye Xiao brought back the armistice agreement, and the whole army, including the people in Xiapi City, celebrated together.

It just so happened that Ye Xiao got married three days later, and the soldiers and civilians in Xiapi City spontaneously began to prepare costumes to celebrate.

Long before the arrival of the auspicious day, Xiapi City was already full of celebrations.

During the three-day preparation time, Chen Gong was the busiest in Xiapi City.

Because Ye Xiao, who is the lord and the protagonist of the wedding at the same time, cannot prepare for the wedding by himself.

Chen Gong was Ye Xiaojun's Chief Minister of State, so the heavy responsibility of preparing for the wedding naturally fell on him.

In addition, after seeing Cao Cao's retreat, the gentry and wealthy families in Xiapi City wanted to ask to see Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao all pushed it to Chen Gong.

For the sake of the stability of Xiapi City, Chen Gong did not dare to shut out these people. He was originally from a noble family, but he could chat with these people.

Moreover, the gentry and aristocrats seeking to see Ye Xiao are nothing more than a show of loyalty, and then see if there is any opportunity for their family to benefit from the new city lord.

Chen Gong dismissed this group of people, wishing that he would become a clone, while continuing to prepare for the wedding, while handling Ye Xiaojun's internal affairs.

Finally, on the eve of the wedding, Chen Gong found time to report to Ye Xiao.
