The 216th Surrender

No one knows what Xun Gang is thinking, it's just that he was defeated for a while, so why choose to surrender because of this? Moreover, there are more than 400,000 households in Yuzhou, and there are at least 400,000 on standby for military service, I don't know how much more than Cao Cao! As long as Xun Gang is willing, even if Cao Cao kidnaps the emperor, he can go back and recruit 300,000 troops to come back, why worry about Cao Cao's immortality?

But Xun Gang did not choose such a method, but chose to surrender! Not to mention Cao Cao, even the generals under his command were extremely shocked, how could they kneel to someone other than the Son of Heaven?

However, in addition to being shocked, Cao Cao was also full of doubts about this sudden surrender; You must know that Xun Gang's advantage is not much greater than himself, and he will willingly surrender to himself?

Cao Cao is not stupid, Xun Gang's move is very similar to a long-planned plan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fact is just as Cao Cao expected, this is indeed Guo Jia's ploy to Xun Gang, if this battle is not won, Xun Gang will pretend to be loyal to the emperor as the reason, and take refuge in Cao Cao; thought that Cao Cao would be proud of his merits and accept it directly, but Guo Jia didn't know that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, how could he accept an unknown surrender?

Sure enough, looking at Xun Gang who was kneeling on one knee, Cao Cao sneered and shouted: "Xun Gang, don't underestimate me too much!" How can you, in your power, be willing to be under me? What are you up to? If you don't say it, Hugh will force me to shoot you to death!" ”

Xun Gang himself was also in a cold sweat, he knew that the exercise of this strategy must be extremely poor, but it was a shortcut; Cao Cao has the ability to dominate the north, and if he can take the opportunity to mix in with his men, he may be able to take the opportunity to fight for power and profit from Cao Cao's heirs in the future. After all, I don't know how much younger than Cao Cao, and I have a great advantage in age!

But the current situation made Xun Gang worried, Guo Jia only let Xun Gang surrender, and the rest depended on Xun Gang's free play; Just when Guo Jia was anxious, Xun Gang actually cried in front of everyone!

You must know that the ancients said that men don't flick when they have tears, and there must be something important when they cry. Cao Cao was extremely stunned, why did he still cry?

"At that time, in order to consolidate the power outside the palace for His Majesty, Jia Yan risked his life to admonish Dong Zhuo and was named the pastor of Yuzhou. I don't want to accept it, if it weren't for the strict persecution of my family, how would I want to be a caged bird? Me, I...... I'd love to play for a few more years! What kind of bird should you be a herd in Yuzhou? ”

Xun Gang actually cursed, and his words and deeds were completely childlike, as if all these years of old success were disguised.

And Xun Gang directly attributed his fault to Xun Shuang, after all, the party has long been gone, who knows the truth? If you want to say why Liu Bei's tears are so good, Cao Cao didn't believe Xun Gang, but looking at Xun Gang who was crying like a baby, Cao Cao was completely confused, as if he was bullying Xun Gang.

As soon as the square inch was messed up, Cao Cao was fooled.

At this time, Xu Chu Weiyan knelt on the ground with great pandering, and cried to Xun Gang: "Lord, how can you surrender to him!" Our ambition to wait, the middle way and stop? ”

Wei Yan and Xu Chu didn't know Guo Jia's strategy, as the so-called deception of the enemy must first deceive their own people, Wei Yan and the others became a cover for deception. Xun Gang feigned anger and refuted: "Cao Gong is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, how can he be slandered by Er? If you don't want to be loyal, leave now! ”

"Lord!"

Yes, this acting explosion exploded, Cao Cao was deceived again, these two people are brave and difficult to be, Cao Cao wants to be subdued for a long time, how can they be allowed to leave? hurriedly dismounted and said: "The two generals are angry, and the Marquis of Xun is the Han family, and he admires it; If the general is interested, why not surrender with the Marquis of Xun...... No, to His Majesty? With all of you, the big man can be prosperous! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, it showed that Cao Cao had been tricked and chose to believe in Xun Gang's surrender. However, the strategist Mao Jue suddenly walked up and said in his ear: "Lord, Xun Gang's surrender may be deceitful, how can you accept it?" ”

"I have my own measure, and when I receive Yuzhou, I can naturally distinguish the true from the fake."

Cao Cao's actions made Wei Yan and the others at a loss, and they didn't know what to do, they all looked at Xun Gang, and Xun Gang scolded again: "I am a loyal Han, if you two are unwilling to be loyal to the Han and leave quickly, there is no such thing as your unrighteous subordinates!" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly calmed Xun Gang's emotions, although he was not convinced of Xun Gang's surrender, but he also had seven or eight points of belief; But he was eager to find talent, and he couldn't let these two go.

Sure enough, as soon as Xun Gang said this, the two looked at each other, knelt down and said, "I'll wait...... Surrender! But I'm waiting for a request! ”

"Hahaha! Okay, yes, everybody, but it's okay! ”

"We want to be the Lord...... Xun Hou guarded left and right, and couldn't bear to abandon it, hoping that Cao Gong would accept it. If not, we'd rather die here! ”

Cao Cao was stunned, then what should I do with you? But thinking that there was better than nothing, he could only accept the request of the two of them.

"An immediate dismissal of the troops......"

After that, Xun Gang wanted to let Guo Jia lead the troops away, but Cao Cao hurriedly stopped him, thinking that this army was extremely combative, but there was no good general; If you are under your own hands, you will definitely play a huge advantage! And Cao Cao is extremely eager for Xun Gang's advanced weapons, but he can't let them spread it!

"This army is a fearless army, how can it be forsaken? Xunhou is too worried! ”

Seeing Cao Cao's reaction like this, Xun Gang pretended to be puzzled on the surface, but sneered in his heart, you kid will also have a chance to be tricked. Even if you scatter my troops, when the time comes, they will still choose to listen to my orders.

You raised them well, but I am their backbone.

"If Duke Cao likes it, he will give this army to Duke Cao!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and suddenly saw a person who looked like a civil official from a distance, it was Guo Jia, who he had been chatting with for a long time; He hurriedly summoned Guo Jia to come and said with a smile: "Now that your lord has surrendered to me, where will Your Excellency go?" ”

Guo Jia saw that Xun Gang's "surrender" was successful, so he deliberately said: "I want to be a country horseman!" ”

"Not so! The world has been chaotic for a long time, Your Excellency is talented, why don't you dedicate your loyalty to the country and the people? Your Excellency has the talent to go back to your hometown to farm, wouldn't it be a pity? I hope that Your Excellency can share your worries for Your Majesty! ”

Guo Jia pretended to be distressed, and only nodded after a while: "That's it, Cao Gong is a great talent, Your Excellency will not give up, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Good, good! That one...... Xunhou, I am now sending troops to win over Yuzhou, do you have any opinions? ”

Xun Gang shook his head and said: "No, if Duke Cao goes, the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou will definitely resist; After I meet the Son of Heaven, I will go with the army of Duke Cao, and I only hope that Duke Cao will not commit any offense against Qianshouqiu in Yuzhou, otherwise Wen Ruo's business for many years will be invalid. ”

Cao Cao thought that if he went at this moment, a battle would inevitably break out, and the army would definitely slaughter the city when it entered the city, causing unnecessary trouble. He suddenly remembered the two names Xun Gang had just said, and wondered: "Wen Ruo Changwen? ”

Xun Gang saw that Cao Cao was puzzled, so he explained: "One of this person's names is Xun Yu, the character is Ruo, and the other person is called Chen Qun, and the character is long; At that time, I will introduce it to Cao Gong. ”

Because Xun Gang's title is much higher than Cao Cao's, he is a county marquis, so he is not called the lord and is called Cao Gong; However, Cao Cao doesn't care about these vain, as long as the soldiers don't take Yuzhou bloodily.

"In that case, Marquis Xun, please follow me to see Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao's name is Xun Hou, and he always feels awkward and panicked, thinking that he must raise the title at that time, and he must let this kid call himself the lord!

Before Xun Gang knelt down, Liu Xie hurriedly stepped forward and took his hand and said: "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you more and more handsome for many years, I miss it tightly!" ”

Xun Gang just smiled, perhaps feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Liu Xie looked up and wondered, "Brother Xian, why did you come in with Cao Aiqing?" ”

"The foolish brother has taken refuge in Cao Gong."

This sentence suddenly fell on Liu Xie's head like a thunderbolt from the sky, originally thinking that his brother came to the rescue, and he might be able to regain his position, and the two brothers could not stop him. But how do you know that you killed a Cao Mengde halfway and completely shattered your wishes!

"Virtuous Brother...... Why do you want to ......? Liu Xie was so hesitant that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Xun Gang smiled bitterly: "Since Your Majesty is in the hands of Gong Cao, since the foolish brother is doing things for Your Majesty, how can he not surrender?" What's more, Cao Gong is loyal to the country, and it is not difficult to pacify the Han Dynasty and shatter the country, so why should I let the lives of Yanzhou in Yuzhou be ruined? ”

Liu Xie was speechless, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, he looked at Dong Cheng on the side viciously, as if he wanted to eat the latter raw, Dong Cheng who watched it retreated again and again, trembling, and did not dare to speak.

"Since the virtuous brother has taken refuge in Cao Cao, then ......" Liu Xie wanted to say that Xun Gang's title should be dismissed, so as not to be dissatisfied with Cao Cao, but he thought that this was very inappropriate, so he could only say: "Then add Cao Cao as the general of the Han Dynasty and lead the marquis." ”

Xu Hou is just an ordinary county marquis, and Qian County is a state office, which is much larger than Xu Hou, so Xun Gang's title is still above Cao Cao, but the position is much smaller. And Cao Cao's general was originally Han Xian's, but Han Xian left his post without permission, so it was naturally invalid.

Liu Xie originally wanted to increase Cao Cao's title, so that his official position and title were greater than Xun Gang, which could be regarded as indirect protection of Xun Gang. But Xun Gang's marquis is so big that except for the duke and the prince, Liu Xie doesn't know what to seal.

Sure enough, although Cao Cao received the order to thank him, there was a lot of dissatisfaction on his face, after all, the title was still lower than Xun Gang.

But Xun Gang thought of a good plan, so he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you move the capital to Xu County......

The next words are self-evident, if Liu Xie moves the capital to Xu County, then Xu County will instantly improve from an ordinary county seat to the capital, and the marquis of this place is not comparable to other county marquis. Sure enough, although Liu Xie frowned, looking at the dilapidated Luoyang, and in order to make Cao Cao's title bigger than Xun Gang, this suggestion seemed to be the best.

"Cao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Now Xu County is in the hands of Xun Gang after all, so he still has to go through Cao Cao's opinion. Liu Xie was extremely helpless, he didn't expect that it would be difficult for him to be free, and he only longed for Cao Cao's brutality...... It can be smaller than Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others!

Cao Cao saw that Xun Gang really took great pains to make his title higher than the latter, and thought that the emperor's order had been made, and he was the Marquis of Xu, so he couldn't change it at will. In this way, moving the capital to Xu County seems to be the best plan. But now that Xu County is in Xun Gang's hands, in case he turns his face and doesn't recognize people......

No, how can a person walk without danger? If Xun Gang really surrendered, then Cao Cao is fully confident that he will kill the troublesome Xun Gang!

"Just according to Your Majesty's words!"
