Chapter 516: Convince Guo Yan

Standing behind Cao Cao and looking at the Chang'an city wall in the distance, Cheng Yu was silent for a while before he hugged his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Ming Gong is now the time to employ people, and Zhicai unfortunately collapsed, and his subordinates are willing to share their worries for Ming Gong and enter Chang'an to persuade Guo Yan!" ”

"Zhongde!" Cheng Yu said that he was willing to go to Chang'an, Cao Cao hurriedly turned around, held his hands, and said to him in a serious voice: "Zhongde is the arm of a certain person, there is a lot of danger here, how to ...... it"

"Ming Gong just cares about it!" Halfway through Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu took over his words and said to him: "When the subordinates go, they must persuade Guo Yan to open the city gate and welcome the Ming Duke into the city!" ”

"There's Lao Zhongde!" Letting go of Cheng Yu's hands, Cao Cao raised his fists at him and said, "A certain is here, waiting for Zhongde, and when Chang'an City is broken, a certain person should celebrate Zhongde!" I also hope Zhongde, be careful on this trip! ”

"Announce your resignation!" hugged his fists and gave Cao Cao a salute back, Cheng Yu turned around, took a step, and strode towards the outside of the barracks.

When he reached the gate, he turned over and jumped on a horse led by a soldier, and his legs were clamped towards the horse's belly, and without waiting for the soldiers to escort him, he ran straight towards the city gate.

"General, look! Someone is coming! Cheng Yu rode his horse to the city gate, and a soldier guarding the city on the city wall raised his hand and pointed at him, shouting to a general not far away.

Hearing the soldier's shout, the general hurried to the battlements and looked down the city in the direction of his finger.

When he saw Cheng Yu alone and riding to the city, his brows were tightly twisted, and he subconsciously muttered: "This person is so bold, he dares to come to the city alone, I don't know what he is doing here!" ”

"A certain is Cao Gong's staff, and he came to visit the Che Cai General and the Hou General on the order of Cao Gong!" When he arrived at the city, Cheng Yu looked up at the military general who poked out his head on the city wall, and shouted to the general: "I hope that the general will open the city gate quickly and allow a certain person to enter the city!" ”

"Your Majesty has a will!" Pressing the battlements with both hands, the military general at the head of the city shouted to Cheng Yu: "Cao Gongxing's unjustified army besieged the city, which is really a rebellious act. I also hope that Mr. will tell Cao Gong to withdraw his troops immediately before peace can be negotiated! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" As soon as the general's words fell, Cheng Yu under the city wall looked up at him and laughed twice, and said to him: "What the general said is false! At present, Chang'an City is in chaos, if Cao Gong really wants to attack the city, with the military strength in the city, he may resist? In this way, how can it be said that Cao Gongxing is a rebellious teacher? Cao Gong came here to quell the conflict, and he didn't want to forcibly attack the city and occupy Chang'an! ”

When the military general standing on the city wall heard Cheng Yu say this, his face became a little ugly.

What Cheng Yu said, if people outside Chang'an City listened to it, they might feel that he was a little dangerous and too arrogant.

But the defenders in Chang'an City are known to everyone. Since Li Dao killed Fan Chou, and attacked each other with Guo Yan, there were a lot of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and the army was discouraged, and there was not much combat power at all.

If Cao Cao really ordered the siege of the city, with this bit of defenders on the city wall, I am afraid that it would not last long, and Chang'an would be broken by Cao Cao.

Standing on the city wall, the military general pondered for a moment, and then asked Cheng Yu, who was stationed under the city, "Dare to ask sir, what is the intention of coming here?" ”

"I heard that the general of the chariot and the general of the queen are attacking each other in the city!" Cheng Yu raised his head, looked at the military general who poked out his head, and shouted to him: "A certain person has said that Cao Gong has no intention of entering Chang'an, but is just worried that the two generals will fight, and in the end, both tigers will be injured, and His Majesty will be implicated." Cao Gong couldn't sleep comfortably because of this, so he deliberately came thousands of miles to mediate, but he didn't want to be suspicious of the two generals! This general, please let a certain person enter the city, and go to meet the two generals, everything will be clear! ”

The general guarding the city held a humble position, and he did not dare to let Cheng Yu enter the city easily. Hearing Cheng Yu say this, he hesitated for a moment, knowing that it was difficult to make a decision with his official position, so he said to Cheng Yu: "Sir, stay away, the last general will go to inform the general!" ”

Hearing what the general of the city guard said, Cheng Yu suddenly understood that he had come to the right place this time. The guards in the city happened to be Guo Yan's subordinates.

"There is General Law!" Clenched his fists and arched towards the guards in the city, Cheng Yu thanked him, and then he didn't say anything, just rode his horse and waited quietly.

In the barracks of the Yanzhou Army, Cao Cao stood under the banner of the Chinese army marshal, looking at Cheng Yu standing on a horse under the city wall, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

Xi Zhicai died of illness, and now there is only Cheng Yu available by his side. Cao Cao's love for talent is not in vain, and seeing Cheng Yu exposed to the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders in the city, Cao Cao couldn't help but have a lot of worries in his heart.

Standing under the city wall, Cheng Yu waited for about a stick of incense, and a person's head poked out of the city wall.

"A certain is the queen general Guo Yan! Those who come have something to say, only come through the pipe! The head talked out of the battlements and shouted to Cheng Yu, who was waiting under the city: "If what you say is unreasonable, I will immediately order you to shoot the arrows!" ”

"General Hou!" Looking at the head poking out from the city wall, Cheng Yu arched towards Guo Yan with his fists on his back, and shouted to Guo Yan: "The general is standing on the city, and a certain is standing under the city, so how can you discuss things?" Could it be that the general is still afraid that if someone enters the city, he will take this Chang'an? ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Cheng Yu's words fell, Guo Yan wrinkled his brows and shouted at him viciously: "You alone are just ants, how can this general take it in his eyes?" ”

"In that case, why didn't the general open the city and let someone in?" Putting down his fist-hugging hands, Cheng Yu pulled a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Guo Yan: "The army of Duke Cao is far away from here, even if a certain general opens the city gate and the army takes advantage of the situation to cover up, the general can also close the city gate before the army arrives." Could it be that the general thinks that the soldiers under the command of Cao Gong are all gods who fly to the sky and the earth? ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" was ridiculed by Cheng Yu, Guo Yan suddenly felt that his face was a little unable to let go, and before Cheng Yu's words fell, he raised his face and laughed twice, and said to the general guarding the city behind him: "Open the city gate and invite him in!" ”

"No!" Guo Yan ordered the city gate to be opened, and the military general didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly responded with his fists and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate!" ”

The soldier received the order, and hastened to answer, and ran down the wall as fast as he could.

But in a moment, the gate of Chang'an, which had been closed for many days, made a piercing sound of wooden shaft turning, and slowly opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, Cheng Yu shook off the reins, clamped his legs the horse's belly, and rode the horse towards the city gate.

When the city gate was opened, Guo Yan's eyes were always staring at the Yanzhou army with the battle flag waving in the distance, until Cheng Yu entered the city, the city gate was slowly closed, and seeing that the Yanzhou army had not moved, he let out a long sigh in his heart.

After entering the city, Cheng Yu got off his horse and, under the guidance of a city defender, quickly climbed the city wall.

Guo Yan, who was standing on the edge of the battlements, heard a rush of footsteps coming from the stairs, turned his head to look at the entrance of the stairs, and his brows were always tightly wrinkled.

On the stairs, Cheng Yu saw at a glance a burly general wearing a suit of gold scale armor looking at him coldly.

Seeing the general, Cheng Yu hurriedly greeted him, and when he was still three or four steps away from the general, he stopped and bowed to the general: "Cao Gong's Shou Zhang Ling, meet the general!" ”

"Shou Zhang Ling!" It was none other than Guo Yan who was worshiped by Cheng Yu, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Cheng Yu from head to toe, and said with a little contempt in his tone: "Could it be that there is no one in front of Cao Mengde's tent?" I actually want a district and county commander to come and meet with this general! ”

"General after returning!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Cheng Yu said to Guo Yan very respectfully: "Cao Gong didn't want to order his subordinates to come, but the affairs in the army were urgent, and no one else could get out, only the subordinates were quite leisurely. Meeting with the general, it is also urgent to resolve the suspicion as soon as possible, and Cao Gongshi had no choice but to order his subordinates to come to visit the general! ”

"Didn't you say that Duke Cao wanted to mediate between General Ben and Li Daona?" Twisting his brows, his eyes were directed at Cheng Yu, the corners of Guo Yan's mouth tugged, he smiled coldly, and asked Cheng Yu: "How did you make a special trip to visit General Ben again?" ”

"General Hou borrowed a step to speak!" Looking around left and right, Cheng Yu lowered his voice, made a gesture of invitation to Guo Yan, and said to Guo Yan: "Gong Cao ordered his subordinates to come, but he has something important to discuss with the general!" ”

looked at Cheng Yu with a suspicious face, and after a while, Guo Yan flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and said to Cheng Yu: "Borrow a step, borrow a step, can this general be afraid of you, these two powerless scholars?" ”

Following Guo Yan to a relatively remote corner of the city wall, Cheng Yu hugged his fists and bowed, saluted Guo Yan again, and then looked around again, lowered his voice, and said to Guo Yan: "The subordinates came because Cao Gong wanted to send a wealth to the general!" ”

"Rich? Ha Lu Ha! Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Guo Yan raised his head and smiled, and said to Cheng Yu with disdain: "This general has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now he is a general, what kind of wealth is there, Xu Cao Gong will give it to this general!" ”

"Where's the prime minister?" Before Guo Yan's words fell, Cheng Yu looked at him with a smile on his face, lowered his voice to a very low level, and asked him: "If Duke Cao is willing to raise General Hou as the prime minister today, what does General Hou think of this wealth?" ”

"Could it be that Gong Cao has this intention?" Attacking each other with Li Dao is a struggle for power between the two sides, and the position of prime minister has a strong attraction to Guo Yan, but he still has a deep suspicion of Cao Cao in his heart, and when Cheng Yu finished speaking, he asked Cheng Yu very suspiciously: "Why doesn't Cao Gong sit on the position of prime minister at home, but he wants to give this wealth to a certain person?" If Cao Gong broke through Chang'an and became the prime minister, wouldn't he be the only one in charge of the world? ”

"Duke Cao is sitting in Yanzhou, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he is already in a high position!" Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile, and asked Guo Yan rhetorically: "If you are unstable today, do you want to work as a prime minister or sit on one side?" ”

"It's a prime minister!" As soon as Cheng Yu asked, Guo Yan subconsciously replied.

"That's it!" When Guo Yan answered, Cheng Yu pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile, and then said to Guo Yan: "The general has become the prime minister, so he will not thin Cao Gong." Cao Gong has a general in the court, he is like a fish in water, how can he still think about squeezing into the land of right and wrong? ”

"Rong is so good to think about it!" After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Guo Yan, who was obviously inferior in the battle with Li Wei, was suddenly a little moved, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, before saying to Cheng Yu: "In the past two days, I will ask Mr. to stay in the city, and there will be some things in the end, I must ask Mr." ”

"Subordinates should obey orders!" Guo Yan changed his words to call him Mr., Cheng Yu knew that it was already possible to persuade Guo Yan this time, as long as there was no mistake, it would not be long before Cao Cao could occupy Chang'an without blood.
