Cao Cao was indeed in the main hall.

When the city was broken, he had planned to escape from Shouchun under the escort of a group of guards.

I tried several times, but I was blocked by the murderous corpse.

Although there were generals such as Yu Ban and Li Dian who opened the way, there were too many murderous corpses, and they couldn't kill them at all, so they could only retreat to the palace.

Yuan Xu arrived, in the front yard of the palace.

Cao Cao walked back and forth quickly in the main hall, and a group of staff and generals were watching him.

"What should I do?" Cao Cao asked everyone: "Yuan Xianxin is outside, what should I do?" ”

"It's the end of the road, Mengde might as well surrender." Xun Yu said: "Although Yuan Xianxin was outside, he did not drive the murderous corpse to attack, and he should also be giving Meng De a way to live." ”

"He's giving you a way to live." Cao Cao said with annoyance: "As long as you are willing to go out and vote for him, Yuan Xianxin will definitely have a lot." I'm different......"

Everyone was depressed, and no one said anything more.

"Is there no way?" Cao Cao asked them, "Isn't there even a single one who has a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

He looked at Xun You, and Xun You shook his head.

looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also shook his head.

No matter whose face Cao Cao's gaze falls on, everyone will turn their face to the side.

Shouchun has broken the city, and there are murderous corpses everywhere inside and outside the city.

Yuan Xu was outside the hall, and as long as he gave the order to attack, a murderous corpse would immediately come in.

In the face of the murderous corpse, everyone was helpless.

At this moment, Yuan Xu's voice came from outside the hall: "Cao Mengde, you have no way out, why don't you come out and talk?" ”

Hearing him shout, Cao Cao was full of chagrin.

He stood in the temple and replied, "What else is there to say now? ”

"I'm going to leave you alive." Yuan Xu said: "I don't know if you want it?" ”

Yuan Xu actually said that he wanted to leave him a way to live, and Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Across the hall, what do you think we can talk about?" Yuan Xu asked.

Looking around at the crowd and seeing that no one objected, Cao Cao replied, "I'll talk to you outside the hall." ”

Although he was at the end of his rope, he didn't want to lose face at the last minute.

The door of the temple opened, and Cao Cao walked out.

Standing far away with Yuan Tan and the others, Yuan Xu's face was full of smiles: "Cao Gong is finally willing to come out." ”

"I didn't think I could live." Cao Cao said to him: "When I go out to see you, there is only one thing to ask for." ”

"Don't ask for anything." Yuan Xu replied: "Although you and I are hostile, I will not want to kill you completely. ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked, "Will you let me go?" ”

"Of course not!" Yuan Xu said: "You are a hero in the world, what is the difference between letting you go and returning to the mountain?" ”

"And what do you want?" Cao Cao asked.

"My plan is actually quite simple." Yuan Xu said: "As long as you are willing to take all the people under your command to run, I will spare you." ”

"Surrender to you, and then suffer humiliation and die at your hands?" Cao Cao smiled coldly.

"That's how you treat Zhang Xiu and the others?" Yuan Xu asked him.

"Of course not." Cao Cao replied: "I and Zhang Xiu also formed an in-law ......"

"That's going to be easy." Yuan Xu said: "I heard that you have a lot of daughters under your knees, although I have married, but I have not taken a concubine, they are all married to me, will I still kill you?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and his mind suddenly raced.

Yuan Xu only has Zhen Mi's wife's room, and he has no heirs so far.

If you can marry one of your daughters to him, you can indeed save your life.

Cao Cao said: "You are not small, although I have several daughters under my knees, how can I marry you?" ”

"There are countless ladies in Cao Gong's backyard, and I also admire them very much." Yuan Xu replied: "I'm a lazy person, and I really don't want to do it if I want to find a beauty." Since the Cao family has it, it is better to give it to me, you and I have become in-laws, and the glory and wealth can be kept, and there is nothing wrong with you. ”

"Let me think about it." Cao Cao frowned.

If he agreed to Yuan Xu on the spot, wouldn't it be a matter of exchanging his daughter for his life?

Even if you live, you will be ridiculed by the world in the future.

"What's there to think about?" Yuan Xu pouted: "If you don't understand, I will kill the murderous corpse and kill Cao Gong on the spot, and those daughters of yours will still belong to me." No matter how you think about it, it's much better if you promise it yourself. ”

"How are you going to settle me and my men?" Cao Cao asked.

"Cao Gong is my main bookkeeper, and from now on, follow me." Yuan Xu said: "As for the others, as long as they are willing to vote and perform their duties, I will never harm them." ”

"Empty words!" voted for Yuan Xu, although it was to withdraw from the world struggle, but he could live in peace, and he would not implicate everyone under his command, Cao Cao tried to get a strong guarantee from Yuan Xu.

"Cao Mengde, do you have a choice?" Yuan Xu didn't give him any promises, but just asked him: "The situation is not as good as people, but you are still looking for me to promise, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao's face was red when he choked on a word.

He was silent for a long time before he said to Yuan Xu: "I am willing to submit!" ”

Cao Cao is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, he has always done things, and he is also a villain first.

Although he fought with the Yuan family for a long time, the Yuan family was almost cornered by him.

Yuan Xu, who has the soul of a traverser in his body, has no aversion to Cao Cao.

He is willing to work, and if he doesn't make a moth in the future, Yuan Xu will let him live.

Yuan Xu glanced at Sun Guan and Zang Ba.

The two of them understood, stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "Gong Cao, please." ”

Cao Cao glanced at them.

There was a grudge in his eyes, obviously thinking that they had taken refuge in Yuan Xu too easily.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan didn't have much contact with him.

Although he looked at him like this, he didn't feel too much guilt, after all, when he led the Qingzhou army, Cao Cao did cold them.

Cao Cao was taken away by Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and the guards rushed into the main hall and escorted out the strategists and generals gathered inside.

Yuan Xu watched Cao Cao and the others under his command being escorted away.

A guard came up behind him and reported to him: "Childe, someone has come to Yecheng." ”

"Who?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Cui Yan." The guard replied, "He said that he had something important to report to his son. ”

"Ask him to come over." Yuan Xu commanded.

After the guards left, it didn't take long for Cui Yan to arrive.

Cui Yan is also a strategist that Yuan Shao once relied on.

He is a calm person, rarely emerges on weekdays, and his popularity in Hebei is also very good.

Coming to Yuan Xu, Cui Yan bowed and saluted: "I've seen the son." ”

"You're not in Yecheng, what are you doing here?" Yuan Xu asked him.

"I was entrusted by Guo Fengxiao to report something to my son." Cui Yan replied: "Gongsun Kang of Liaodong sent someone to Yecheng and gave a big gift to his son. ”

"Gongsun Kang gave me a gift?" Yuan Xu was surprised: "What did he send?" ”

"Cheng Yu." Cui Yan replied: "He went to Liaodong with the intention of persuading Xiang Hebei to use troops, but was rejected by Gongsun Kang and escorted people to Yecheng. ”
