Chapter 152: Blood Alliance
Zhang Yan has been forced into a desperate situation, Yuan Xu came at this time, he really didn't dare to start easily.
Although out of his own heart, he hated to split Yuan Xu's five horses.
The way to serve Cao Cao has been broken, and if you kill Yuan Xu, you don't need Yuan Shao to send troops at all, and the Yuan army in the city and the Tu army who are eyeing him can wipe him out here.
"What does Childe mean?" Staring at Yuan Xu, Zhang Yan asked.
"It's just a way to show the general a way out." Yuan Xu said: "Not only that, but it can also enable the general to strengthen the military and stabilize the foundation of Taihang." Although it cannot achieve the grand hegemony, it can glorify the lintel and achieve orthodoxy! ”
"You and I are old enemies, why do you help me?"
"There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent allies."
“……”
"Cao Cao's co-opting generals is nothing more than containing the Yuan family." Yuan Xu said: "General Jia Xushe left, just because the general lost his foundation and lost his eight treasures, and he has no usable value. ”
Yuan Xu pointed out the key point, and Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned gray.
He sighed helplessly, but did not answer.
The current situation seems to be a confrontation between the two armies, but in fact, he has lost all the initiative, and is just a piece of meat on the chopping block, just waiting for Yuan Jun to come and slaughter.
Yuan Xu wants to give him a way to live, of course he won't want it.
It's just that......
Where's the face?
Seeing that Zhang Yan was hesitating, Yuan Xu said: "If the general is willing to surrender, he will show his father, but the general understands the righteousness and is willing to belong to my Yuan family." ”
"A certain has been against Yuan Gong for many years...... although Zhang Yan has been shaken, he still has doubts.
"The general wants to say that the Yuan family defeated Gongsun and slaughtered Gongsun soldiers that day?"
Zhang Yan nodded.
The Yuan army broke through Yi Jing, and the Gongsun army that surrendered was slaughtered.
Defecting to the Yuan family, with Yuan Shao's strength and personality, he had to worry about his future fate.
Yi Jingcheng was broken, and Yuan Xu opposed Yuan Shao's killing, but he was powerless to stop it, and it was precisely because of this concern.
Whoever defeats the enemy will be killed!
How can you win people's hearts by doing so?
It has already happened, and it is too late to say anything.
"Don't hide it from the general, I was against my father at the beginning."
Yuan Xu said this, and Zhang Yan was stunned.
"Since Gongzi is against it, why don't you stop Yuan Gong?"
"People are soft-spoken, even if they are stopped, what can they do?"
"Duke Yuan is decisive in killing, and it is difficult for Gongzi to stop him, how dare he let the soldiers put down their blades?"
"Why put it down?"
Yuan Xu suddenly changed his position and considered the problem from Zhang Yan's point of view, which made Zhang Yan very puzzled.
"If you don't lay down your sword, how can you surrender?"
"It's just a surrender!"
Looking at Yuan Xu in amazement, Zhang Yan didn't understand what he wanted to say.
Surrender and surrender sound like one active and one passive, but in the final analysis, the gap is not very big.
If the officers and soldiers of the three armies did not put down their blades, how could Yuan Shao believe that he was really willing to submit?
"The general gathered the old department, and the ether was the foundation, rejecting Yidi in the north and Cao Cao in the east." Yuan Xu said: "If this is the case, how can my father embarrass the general." ”
"Could it be that the last general ......" Zhang Yan hesitated: "Don't you go to Yecheng to submit the surrender table?" ”
"Never!" To Zhang Yan's surprise, Yuan Xu denied him going to Yecheng: "The general is going in person, what if my father detains him?" All you need to do is send a messenger to return to Yecheng with a certain road and submit the surrender table to your father. ”
As the son of the Yuan family, if Yuan Xu let him go to Yecheng in person, Zhang Yan would not have any surprises.
However, he vetoed it, and proposed that he only need to send an envoy, so that Zhang Yan can't guess his intentions.
"What ...... Childe?"
"The general is the hero of the world, surrendering to the Yuan family, how can he be willing to trap the general in danger?"
Yuan Xu's words made Zhang Yan faintly moved in her heart.
was once an enemy, but he was so generous, thinking about life and death for him!
Yuan Xu's personality is completely different from Yuan Shao.
He is more generous and tolerant, and Zhang Yan instantly had the idea of surrendering to him, which is far better than serving the Yuan family.
got up and saluted Yuan Xu, Zhang Yan said: "Son's righteousness, a certain feeling is inexplicable!" It's just that there is a reluctant request, and I hope that the son will allow it. ”
"General, please speak!"
"A certain person was defeated by the son, and was pointed out by the son to live, only voted for the son, not the Yuan family, dare to ask?"
Zhang Yan's proposal made Yuan Xu stunned.
only vote for him, but not for the Yuan family......
What is the rationale for this?
If he really recruited Zhang Yan, he would have an extra force under his command. As long as you make good use of this force, it is also the foundation of survival in troubled times.
However......
Yuan Xu was still worried.
In case Yuan Shao knew about this, he would probably suffer from suspicion when he returned to Yecheng.
After all, he is just a concubine, and he is privately surrendered by the enemy army and has a large army, so it is inevitable that he will not fall into the truth.
"There is no difference between serving a certain person and serving the Yuan family." In the end, Yuan Xu decided not to accept Zhang Yan's proposal: "The general's surrender to the Yuan family is well deserved. It's just the son of the Yuan family......"
"Childe is a concubine, but a certain is born a traitor!" Zhang Yan interrupted Yuan Xu, and her tone was extremely resolute: "If the son does not allow it, a certain battle will not surrender!" ”
didn't expect him to come to this hand, but Yuan Xu was generalized instead.
"The general thinks so, right?" After thinking for a while, Yuan Xu said: "The Yuan family deserves its name, as for you and me, just for Mo Rebellion!" From now on, we will advance and retreat together! ”
He gave such a promise, Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, although he felt unwilling in his heart, he still nodded.
"Someone!" shouted outside the tent, and when a soldier entered, Zhang Yan said: "Fetch the wine, and the fifth prince is a blood alliance!" ”
Knowing that Zhang Yan was arming him and asking him to not regret it in the future, Yuan Xu didn't break it, but a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a while, a soldier entered the tent with a tray for two bowls of turbid wine.
Half-kneeling in front of Zhang Yan, the soldier held the tray high.
Zhang Yan pulled out the long sword, pressed the index finger of his left hand on the blade, and swiped lightly.
Blood flowed out, and he dripped the blood into the two bowls and handed the sword to Yuan Xu.
Yuan Xu didn't think about it, took the long sword and cut his index finger like him, dripping blood into the bowl.
The two of them each picked up a bowl of blood wine, and Zhang Yan said: "After drinking this wine, you and I will never give up on each other from today onwards!" But whatever the son needs, even if Yan is crushed, he will never frown! ”
"The general's heroism, a certain one is remembered!" Yuan Xu said: "The troubled times are rising, and love and righteousness are worried. Today, you and I are allied by blood, and we will never abandon each other! ”
"!"
"!"
The two of them touched the wine bowl heavily, tilted their necks, and drank no drops of wine.
Zhu Gongdao, who was waiting outside the tent, watched the surroundings vigilantly.
When he came to Zhang Yan's camp, he felt that Yuan Xu was simply crazy.
Do not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but risk entering the enemy camp.
Hearing the call for wine in the tent, I was also stunned to wish justice.
Could it be that Gongzi really persuaded Zhang Yan to surrender with his three-inch tongue?
