Chapter 63: Entering Xuchang

"A certain person knows the high righteousness of Boning, and his temperament is upright. Today, since you and I are each our own lord, let us devote all our thoughts to the service of our respective kings. Why did Berning do this seeker's thing, that he might trap me in injustice? Hearing that Manzhong's current identity is Cao Cao's subordinate, Xu Huang did not show any displeasure or anger, and said as usual.

"The general doesn't have to be so anxious to refuse." Seeing that Xu Huang didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, Man Zhong was not annoyed, he smiled and continued to himself, "The general's courage and strategy, looking at today, can also be said to be rare. The general's talent is so outstanding, why bother to succumb to Yang Feng's generation? Our lord Cao Mengde is a hero in the world, and his name as a good and virtuous man is well known to the world. In front of the two armies today, Cao Gong saw the general's courage and loved him very much, and he couldn't bear to fight to the death with the general, so he sent a special pet to invite the general. Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, make contributions under the command of Cao Gong, and achieve the name of future generations? ”

"The grace of our lord's promotion must not be forgotten. Moreover, how can a person who has been under the account of the Lord for several years easily deviate from it? Needless to say, Berning will not change. Although Man Zhong said a lot, Xu Huang's attitude was still very resolute.

"The general has followed Yang Feng for many years, isn't he just a cavalry lieutenant?" In the face of Xu Huang, who was determined, Man Zhong was not discouraged, and continued to persuade earnestly, "Today is a troubled time, and it is a time when heroes are born. And the general is under Yang Feng's account, but he can't get the opportunity to display his talents, is the general willing to let his talents disappear in vain? The person who fought with the general during the day was named Gao Shun. In terms of age, Gao Shun is several years younger than the general, but he is now the general of Wuwei and leads the internal marquis. After this incident, after returning to Xuchang, he may be promoted again. The general is older than Gao Shun, and his talent in martial arts and army management is not below him, but the general can only serve as a lieutenant under Yang Feng, isn't this a great talent who has wronged the general? If the general is willing to submit to my lord, my lord Meng Degong will definitely treat the general with a high position. ”

Xu Huang hesitated, and his words reached his heart. After he joined Yang Feng's army, with his outstanding martial arts, he was soon awarded the title of military marquis, and then he was arranged to sit in the position of cavalry captain. However, after these years, his status is still only a cavalry captain, and he has not been promoted in the slightest. When he heard that the person who was fighting with him in the white sun was already a general of Wuwei at such a young age, I had to say that Xu Huang was indeed a little tempted. However, Xu Huang is extremely loyal, and this small heartbeat was quickly suppressed by his loyalty.

However, Man Chong caught Xu Huang's expression change in time, and immediately knew that there was a chance to do something, so he immediately further tugged at Xu Huang's heartstrings: "Doesn't the general hear that good birds choose trees to perch on, and virtuous ministers choose the master to do things?" It is unwise to meet the Lord and miss him, and he will regret it for the rest of his life! And Yang Feng will be defeated, and after my lord Cao Mengde destroys him, where will the general go? Is it still necessary to die for him? ”

Manzhong's words made Xu Huang speechless.

However, just when Man Chong thought that the heat was just right, Xu Huang's mind was about to change, Xu Huang said: "It is not impossible to surrender to Cao Gong, but Cao Gong must agree to a certain condition, otherwise he will not surrender." ”

"General, please." When the pet heard this, he was slightly surprised. You must know that Xu Huang has always been loyal and upright, it stands to reason that with his character, surrender is surrender, and if he does not surrender, he will not surrender, how can he open his mouth to bargain?

"If a certain surrenders to Cao Gong, I hope that Cao Gong will retreat ten miles and give a certain old lord Yang Feng a way to live, so that he can escape." Xu Huang looked serious and said.

Man Zhong couldn't help but be moved, and he had to admire Xu Huang's loyalty.

Although Cao Cao himself has not heard of Xu Huang's request yet, Man Chong still agreed on his behalf, and he knew that Cao Cao would definitely agree.

As expected, when Cao Cao heard Xu Huang's condition at first, he was slightly stunned at first, but soon laughed and agreed. In his opinion, Yang Feng deserves to die, but his person is far less important than the Xu Huang in front of him. Yang Feng's death can certainly have the effect of establishing authority, but exchanging Yang Feng's cheap life for Xu Huang's refuge can make his reputation for love more widely spread, and more capable people will come to him. As for the fact that Man Zhong agreed to Xu Huang's request on his own behalf, Cao Cao laughed it off and didn't blame it at all.

On September 20, the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD), the frame of the Son of Heaven entered Xuchang. Trivial matters such as building palaces and palaces, establishing temples and shrines, and building castle treasury naturally do not need to be mentioned. Later, on the reward of meritorious deeds, Cao Cao led the Sikong, concurrently served as a general of the chariot cavalry, and was awarded the Marquis of Wuping. Gao Shun was moved to the general of Zhichong. Because Xu Huang had just joined and had not yet made meritorious contributions, he was treated the same as when Zhang Liao initially surrendered, and he was appointed as a general. And Zhang Liao was promoted to one level because of his merits and became a general. The rest of the generals also had their own rewards, and none of them were left behind.

The general trend was set, the Son of Heaven was already in control, Cao Cao could be said to be in power, so he began to plan the next move. His first target was the Xuzhou that he had not been able to capture before.

Soon after the siege of Xuzhou was lifted last time, Tao Qian died of illness, and the post of Xuzhou pastor fell into Liu Bei's hands. After that, LΓΌ Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, and led the remnants of his soldiers and horses to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei.

Cao Cao gathered all the civil and military forces together to discuss the strategy of attacking Xu.

"I have a plan, so that the lord can get Xuzhou without spending a single soldier." The first to speak was not the famous strategists under Cao Cao, but the newly promoted general Zhichong, the leader of the camp Gao Shun.

Since it is a time traveler, if you don't make more use of your memories of the original history, how can you be worthy of the name of this time traveler?

I only heard Gao Shun say casually: "Lu Bu, the tiger and wolf, kill Ding Yuan first, and then stab Dong Zhuo, it can be seen that he is by no means a disciple who is willing to live under the people." Now he voted for Liu Bei, but he was forced by the situation, and it was impossible to truly recognize Liu Bei as the master. Today, Yuan Shu is based on Huainan, known as the ambition of not being a minister, and many of the palaces built are beyond the system. The lord can use the name of the Son of Heaven to order Liu Bei to ask for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's power is strong, and if Liu Bei attacks it, he will lead the army out. At that time, Xuzhou will be empty, and Lu Bu will have a different heart! We can sit back and watch Liu and Lu compete with each other, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

The famous strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, presumably as soon as he comes out with this proposal, he will definitely be able to attract a sound of praise and applause, Gao Shun thought excitedly in his heart.

However, after a long time, Gao Shun did not hear any response. Gao Shun couldn't help but look around, only to find that most of the people had strange expressions on their faces.

What's wrong? Could it be that what I said was wrong? No, I don't seem to be mistaken.
