Chapter 754: A Delaying Tactic

The tiger and leopard rode around searching, how could they find Ma Fei and others.

led the army to aid Yecheng, lost the first battle, and Yuan Shang lost confidence in repelling Cao's army.

Seeing that Yecheng was about to break, Yuan Shang's heart was like a mess.

Sitting in the tent, Yuan Shang was full of sadness.

The curtain was lifted, and Cui Yan walked in: "Why is the son sad?" ”

Looking up and seeing that it was Cui Yan, Yuan Shang sighed and said: "Yecheng is besieged, and the city is about to be broken, but I am waiting to rush to the aid but is defeated, what should I do to keep Hebei?" ”

"Cao Cao wants nothing more than Hebei." Cui Yan said: "The eldest son has voted for Cao Cao in order to protect himself, and Hebei is in the hands of the son, if the son goes to serve, how can he not allow it?" ”

His face was gloomy, and Yuan Shang said: "A certain cast Cao Cao, after a hundred years, what face will he have to see his father?" How to face the ancestors of the Yuan family? ”

"But it's an expedient measure, and Childe doesn't need to care." Cui Yan said: "Hebei is withering, if you can vote for Cao Cao, he will hand over Hebei to Gongzi." The son can recuperate, and when Cao Cao declines, no matter how handsome the Hebei warriors will break it in one fell swoop, how can he have no face to see the ancestors and the ancestors? ”

After thinking about it for a while, and feeling that what Cui Yan said was not unreasonable, Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Cui Gong's plan is also feasible, but I don't know who is the most appropriate to go?" ”

"If the son doesn't give up, he is willing to go!" Earlier persuasion of Yuan Tan failed, Cui Yan always resented himself, and surrendered to Cao Cao on behalf of Yuan Shang, and he did his best.

"Cui Gong is willing to go, and he will get twice the result with half the effort!" Yuan Shang stood up, bowed down and said, "Hebei survives, entrust it to Duke Cui!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Cui Yan returned the salute and withdrew from the tent.

A moment later, Yuan Jun walked out of the camp and rode fast horses.

The first person was Cui Yan.

Surrounded by several guards, Cui Yan ran all the way to the Cao Jun military camp.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in front of Cao's military camp, several Cao soldiers came over.

The officer of the Cao Army, who led people to meet him, raised his hand and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Holding his mount, Cui Yan arched his hand towards the officer and said, "A certain person came to see Cao Gong on the order of the third prince of the Yuan family, and asked Your Excellency to pass the gift on his behalf!" ”

"Report your name and surname, and you should be the best!" The officer replied.

"Cui Yan!" Cui Yan reported his name and surname.

"Wait!" The officer dropped a sentence and ordered several soldiers to look at Cui Yan and the others, and he ran to the barracks.

Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia and others how to break the city, and when he learned that Cui Yan was coming, he asked everyone: "What do you think Cui Yan is here?" ”

"Yuan Shang led the army to aid Yecheng, but was newly defeated by our army." Guo Jia said: "He must think that Hebei is difficult to protect, Cui Yan's trip is nothing more than to come to surrender." ”

"What do you think?" Looking at everyone, Cao Cao asked.

"What Feng Xiao said is very true!" Xun You said: "Yuan Shang is at the end of the road, Cui Yan will be his lobbyist on this trip!" ”

"If it is a surrender, it should be allowed." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Tan has already surrendered, if Yuan Shang is recruited, the war in Hebei can be decided!" ”

"Never!" Guo Jia said: "Once Cao Gong allows Yuan Shang to surrender, Yuan Tan will have no time to rebel, Hebei is still in the hands of the Yuan family, and there will be disasters in the future." ”

"What does Bong-hyo think it should be?"

"Yuan Shang must not be allowed to surrender, our army is in the upper hand, defeat it, Yuan Tan will recruit Yuan Shang's old department." Guo Jia said: "At that time, Cao Gong will break Yuan Tan, and he will also have a truth. ”

Twisting the beard on his chin, Cao Cao bowed slightly: "According to Fengxiao, it's just that Yuan Xianxin has already captured Xudu, and he will definitely lead the army north to ...... soon."

"Yuan Xianxin's capture of Xu Capital will be difficult to defend." Guo Jia said: "When he goes north, Cao Gong can make it difficult for him to attack from behind and cut off his way back." In this way, not only can Xu Du be taken, but Runan will also be pacified! ”

Glancing at everyone, Cao Cao said: "If you have no objection, you will follow the plan of filial piety!" ”

Everyone said, "We have no objection. ”

Everyone under his command spoke in unison, and Cao Cao instructed the guards: "Please Cui Yan come here to meet!" ”

After waiting outside the barracks for a long time, Cui Yan was summoned.

Entering the barracks, a guard led him to Cao Cao's tent.

When he entered the tent, he found that the tent was full of people.

All eyes fell on his face.

bowed to Cao Cao, and Cui Yan arched his hand to everyone again.

After greeting him, Cao Cao asked, "Duke Cui is not beside Yuan Xianfu, why is he here?" ”

"I came here because I was ordered by the son of Xianfu!" Cui Yan said: "Cao Gong's army has been attacking Hebei for more than a few months now. The soldiers are tired and miserable, why doesn't Cao Gong stop and relieve the pain of the soldiers hanging upside down? ”

"Dead down?" Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "Cui Gong said it was funny." How can the war be stopped? ”

"The son of Xianfu is willing to serve Cao Gong, and from then on he will lead the horse and support the saddle." Cui Yan said: "Although Cao Gong is in full swing at the moment, there are also a lot of soldiers and horses under the command of Prince Xianfu. If the fight continues, the soldiers of the two armies will be miserable, and Cao Gong will also be in a dilemma. ”

"What a dilemma, I would like to hear about it!" Cao Cao gestured.

Since Cui Yan came to the tent, Guo Jia and the others just listened to his high-minded talk and did not argue with him.

Seeing that no one refuted, Cui Yan said: "The one who Cao Gong wants to win is Hebei, and the eldest son is only sitting in Qingzhou, although he is serving Cao Gong, Hebei is in the hands of the Yuan family." The third prince has the heart to serve, if Cao Gong allows him a glimmer of life, the son will be grateful for his kindness, and he will follow him from then on. I heard that Xu Du had been seized by the five princes, if Cao Gong could settle on Hebei and wave his troops south, why worry that many would not be lost and recovered? ”

Cui Yan said that the head is the Tao, if it weren't for Guo Jia and others earlier, Cao Cao might really be persuaded by him.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked up a shallow smile and did not speak, Guo Jia got up and asked: "Dare to ask Cui Gong, if Cao Gong allows Yuan Xianfu to surrender to Cheng, who should be in charge of the assassination history in Hebei?" ”

"Hebei has always belonged to the Yuan family." Cui Yan said: "It's not impossible for Cao Gong to appoint others, but the Yuan family is a long time ago at this time, and if the third prince leads Hebei, Cao Gong can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Cui Gong's words are not confident enough, and it is obvious that if he places others, Yuan Xianfu will definitely hinder him." ”

Facing Cao Cao, Guo Jia clenched his fists and said: "Cao Gong Mingjian, Yuan Xianfu surrendered to sincerity, not sincerely, but a plan to delay the army!" ”

"How could Guo Gong say that?" Cui Yan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The third son's heart of sincerity can be learned from the world......

"If Duke Cao does not allow Yuan Shang to sit in Hebei, he will definitely resist stubbornly. If he is allowed to sit in Hebei, after the army withdraws, he will recuperate and recuperate, and then make enemies of Cao Gong until he is full-fledged! Guo Jia said: "With such intentions, Cao Gong must not fail to investigate!" ”

His eyes narrowed, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Cao Cao asked Cui Yan, "Cui Gong, is there such a thing?" (To be continued.) )
