Chapter 15: Plot reversal
"So, you're here to take refuge with me Cao Cao?" Cao Cao looked at the old fox coldly.
The old fox didn't stumble at all: "Yes, Prime Minister." I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding, and it would be useless to explain more. So I wanted to go to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to surrender to the prime minister. ”
"How can I believe that you are here to take refuge in me?" Cao Cao continued to stare at the old fox.
If it were me, I would have been overwhelmed by Cao Cao's momentum a long time ago.
The old fox was confident: "Looking at the world, who is the opponent?" The prime minister has an army of millions and is strong. Sun Quan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei is even more troublesome. If we don't come to the prime minister, will we go to these people? ”
"Hahaha......" Cao Cao laughed, and my heart was even more furious when I laughed, I don't know if he wants to turn his face immediately.
"Well, I'll trust you. If you persuade Sun Quan to surrender to me Cao Cao, I will definitely use it with you. ”
"Prime Minister Xie promoted." The old fox was overjoyed.
"But if you lie to the old man. The first thing I did when I took Jiangdong was to break your corpse into pieces! ”
The old fox who was smiling had no choice but to say embarrassedly, "This, naturally." ”
"If you go to Sun Quan like this, they will be able to listen to you?" Cao Cao asked again, he was playing tricks on the old fox's thoughts.
The old fox continued not to stumble at all, pretending to be confident: "Sun Quan will not listen to me."
"Oh, tell me about it. Do you have any way to get Sun Quan to surrender to me. "Cao Cao came to be interested.
"When I see Sun Quan next, the first thing I have to do is to disintegrate the relationship with Liu Bei. Because although the prime minister is strong and strong, once Sun and Liu join forces, it will be tricky. And Sun Quan will definitely not surrender at that time. ”
Cao Cao touched his beard with satisfaction and nodded.
The old fox continued: "The second thing is to lobby Sun Quan's generals. Except for one of Sun Quan's subordinates, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, everyone else tended to surrender to the prime minister. When I went to Jiangdong, I first went to these generals to promise high-ranking officials, and they should persuade Sun Quan to surrender to the prime minister. Once the ministers are united, Sun Quan will inevitably be moved. ”
Cao Cao continued to nod: "Then what if Lu Su and that Zhou Yu don't surrender?"
"I've thought about this for a long time. I will tell Sun Quan that Lu Su and Zhou Yu are here to invite merit. They wanted to gamble with their lord's life to fight a battle that was bound to lose. Because these two still have fantasies and want to win the prime minister. As everyone knows, how can this battle be won? At that time, Sun Quan will be shaken, and he will alienate Lu Su and Zhou Yu, plus the ministers will persuade him. Sun Quan will definitely demote me to be prime minister. The remaining Liu Bei is naturally not a problem. ”
"Hahaha...... Mr. Yip's words won my heart. Cao Cao laughed, apparently he was moved.
"If you need anything, just mention it. I will make you my Cao Cao's envoy and go to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to surrender. Hahaha......"
Cao Cao's laughter was hearty, and I leaned in the old fox's ear: "Can this Cao Cao believe it?"
"I believe there are ghosts," said the old fox.
"Then why did he say that?"
"Wait, Cao Cao will turn his face right away." The old fox said.
"Someone! Drag down all those who deceive the crowd with this gossip! Cao Cao really turned his face immediately, not only turned his face, but also immediately cut us, and the hammer was so frightened that he was paralyzed.
"Hahaha......" Now it was the old fox's turn to laugh.
Everyone was inexplicable, and even Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised.
"I have heard for a long time that the prime minister is wise and martial, and he really deserves his reputation. I deceived the three-year-old boy Shang Ke with these words just now, and I deceived the prime minister, which is really a class axe. ”
"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked.
The old fox stopped laughing: "I can't hide it, I just said these words." If the prime minister believes it, then I will surrender to Sun Quan to fight against the prime minister when I arrive in Jiangdong. I didn't expect the prime minister to see through it at a glance. In the next five bodies admired by the prime minister, from now on, in the next vow to pursue the prime minister. ”
"Oh, tell me." Cao Cao seemed to be interested again.
"As we all know, the prime minister is in the north. But that Sun Quan has the Yangtze River, although the troops are insufficient. All of them are water-based and skilled. And the prime minister's subordinates are all northerners and don't know water. It's hard to predict if you really want to win. So I said that it was pure nonsense for me to persuade Sun Quan to surrender, but I was afraid that I would be beheaded before I could open my mouth when I saw Sun Quan. ”
Cao Cao actually had a smile on his face: "So, what else do you have to say."
"Prime Minister, if you want Sun Quan to surrender, it's not impossible. But what we should go to is not Jiangdong, but to Fancheng to find Liu Bei. ”
Cao Cao's eyes began to shine, and he felt like he had met a confidant: "Go on."
"I thought that if Sun Quan surrendered. Liu Bei must be persuaded to surrender first. Liu Beibing, a major general, is rare. is powerless to confront Cheng, as long as we persuade Liu Bei to surrender, Sun Quan will be left alone. Sun Quan couldn't even if he didn't want to surrender. The old fox began to rejoice, too.
Cao Cao looked very satisfied: "Do you have any good plan to make Liu Bei surrender?"
"Nope." The old fox immediately returned.
"No?" Cao Cao put away his smile.
"No," the old fox repeated, "However, if Liu Bei does not surrender, we can fight him until he surrenders."
"Oh? Go on. Cao Cao simply stood up, one foot on the chair. Apparently there was interest.
Although Liu Bei was born in the market, his temper was very arrogant. He has always respected his uncle, and although he has few troops, his generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are very brave. It was a thousand difficulties to get him to surrender. ”
The old fox glanced at Cao Cao and continued: "I can take someone to find Liu Bei first, know it with affection, and move it with reason." When the time comes, the prime minister will send troops to attack again, and he will lose his armor when he is beaten. I persuaded Liu Bei to surrender again, and then he had to beg for surrender. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Cao Cao slapped his face and said three good words in a row.
"I will now make you the envoy of Cao Ying, and go to persuade Liu Bei to surrender. I will send a large army to attack Liu in the rear. Hahaha...... "Cao Cao is really laughing this time."
"What you need, just mention. If it is successful, high-ranking officials will naturally be indispensable. ”
"No, no, no, Prime Minister. He cannot be used as a messenger of the prime minister. The old fox said.
"Oh? Why is that? Cao Cao asked.
"I must not say that I am the prime minister's envoy, so Liu Bei will not only not surrender, but I am afraid that I will also have to worry about my life. As I am now, I pretended to go to Liu Bei, and waited for Liu Bei, who was beaten by the prime minister, to find teeth all over the ground. I will persuade Liu Bei to surrender again, and at that time Liu Bei will naturally submit to you, Prime Minister. ”
"Good! Then I'll wait for good news. Searching for teeth all over the floor, haha. It's a good word, looking for teeth all over the place. Haha...... "Obviously, Cao Cao likes the word "looking for teeth all over the ground."
"Prime Minister, I have to take this Kong Rong away."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid to go to Liu Bei, he is like a prime minister, and he doesn't believe in it. If I said that I came to defect with Kong Rong and made Kong Rong famous, Liu Bei couldn't help but believe it. ”
"This ...... How are you going to get Kong Rong to go with you? When Kong Rong saw Liu Bei, wouldn't he betray you. ”
"Prime Minister, you just need to put Kong Rong in prison. Then let's pretend to go to the prison to rescue Kong Rong. Kong Rong is naturally grateful to us, and then I will go to Liu Bei with Kong Rong ......"
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. If Mr. Ye can succeed in this trip, the position of military advisor must be you, haha......"
"Thank you for your grace." The old fox looked flattering.
