Chapter 169: The Loyal and Righteous Ones
Cao Cao snorted coldly and waved his big hand, "The news of Luoyang City is not enough to exchange for General Yan, you better go back." β
Lai Envoy smiled faintly, "It's better for the prime minister to go back as soon as possible." The strong threat in his tone was self-evident.
Cao Cao's arrogance is something that ordinary people can provoke, and if the anger in the eagle's eyes turns into substance, I am afraid that someone who comes will already die.
"Think twice." Lai Rang continued unhurriedly, that posture was not afraid of death at all.
Cao Cao's clenched hand, his muscles exposed,
"My lord, think twice," Guo Jia glanced at the indifferent envoy, leaned close to Cao Cao's ear, and whispered, in fact, he didn't want to speak quietly, he really didn't have the strength to support him, as a strategist, he was very weak, and it was not easy to recover than other soldiers.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia's sallow face, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't want to take a step when he saw it, and he really wanted to pull him out and cut him with a knife.
After a while, Cao Cao reluctantly squeezed out words from between his teeth,
"Take Yan Liang away."
The envoy smiled, as if he had already known the ending, and took Yan Liang and retreated from Cao's army safely.
Seeing the back of the two leaving, Cao Cao was so angry that he was injured, and when he looked at the weak army, he was even more angry, and ordered to return to Xu Capital overnight!
As for the people sent by Gongsun Zhan and Yan Liang, when he really returned to Xuzhou, he put his mind at ease, don't look at him and dare to threaten in the face of Cao Cao, in fact, his legs and stomachs were trembling for a long time, and he only trusted the general to dare to say that truthfully.
"Gongji, are you hurt?" When Wen Chou saw Yan Liang so quickly and came back safely, he couldn't believe it, he only finished talking to Gongsun Chan yesterday, and when he saw Yan Liang today, the efficiency was not too fast.
Yan Liang stopped Wen Chou, "It's okay, Cao Cao didn't interrogate me in the past few days." β
"That's good," Wen Chou breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was entangled, how could he tell Yan Liang that he asked Gongsun Zhan to save him, didn't he tell Yan Liang that he was against Yuan Shao?
And Gongsun Chan didn't speak on the side, he tasted tea by himself, and looked at the two brothers, and the atmosphere became awkward.
In the end, Yan Liang thought about it again and again, and said, "Generalβ"
"I was sent by the general to attack Koto." When Wen Chou said this, his heart was very cold, he was different from Yan Liang, he had never accepted Yuan Shao's life-saving grace, he and Yuan Shao were just generals and subordinates, and at this time, the general gave up on him, and he would not be a person who repaid virtue with grievances, on the contrary, it was normal!
Yan Liang was also surprised when he heard Wen Chou say what Yuan Shao had done, he didn't understand why the general would make such a decision.
"Xu Yu's decision?"
"Yes, Xu You," the corners of Wen Chou's mouth hooked, and he laughed at himself, "I am waiting for the battlefield to fight, but I am still defeated by a scholar who is powerless, or, I wait for life and death in their hands!" β
Yan Liang's eyes drooped slightly, and he was powerless to refute this sentence, he didn't also make the decision made by Xu Yu and came to die.
"Cough," Gongsun Chan listened to the words for a long time, and decided to interrupt the two of them in a loud voice, or to ask Zhao Yun about the situation as soon as possible.
"That's right," Wen Chou heard Gongsun Zhan's voice, so he stepped forward with Yan Liang and said, "This is General Gongsun, and he sent someone to save you." β
"Thank you for the great grace of the general for saving his life," Yan Liangzhi entued the report, and respected Gongsun Chan very much,
"The general who saved was General Wen, who used himself as a bargaining chip to save him, if you thank you, thank him." Gongsun Chan is a fair and just person, he saved Yan Liang because of Wen Chou, so he naturally will not accept Yan Liang's gratitude.
"If the general is unwilling to save, I'm afraid Wen Chou will not be a bargaining chip, Yan Liang still has to thank the general, willing to save Yan Liang," Yan Liang's eyes were clear, looking directly at Gongsun Zhan, and suddenly he said with a firm look in his eyes, "Although I thank the general for his great kindness, Yan Liang still can't betray the general, please forgive Yan Liang for not being able to submit!" β
Wen Chou hurriedly grabbed Yan Liang and tried his best to winkle,
But Yan Liang slowly pulled away Wen Chou's hand and said, "No, since you promised General Gongsun, then you will stay, today's farewell, between you and me, grace and righteousness, when we meet on the battlefield in the coming day, Gongji will never show mercy." β
"What are you talking about!" Wen is ugly, why does he think this person is so stubborn!
"No, my life belongs to the general." Yan Liang's stubbornness was simply beyond Wen Chou's expectations,
But it also made Gongsun Chan admire, isn't he willing to surrender because Zhao Xiaoyun saved him, if an enemy saves him, I'm afraid he will make the same choice as Yan Liang.
It's just that Wen Chou didn't know Gongsun Zhan's thoughts, he was afraid that Yan Liang would annoy Gongsun Zhan, and when the time came, the person who was finally rescued would be wiped by Gongsun Chan again, and it would be a joke.
"Gongji, don't say it again!" Wen Chou trembled angrily, glanced at the calm Gongsun Chan out of the corner of his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and whispered, "If you leave, I can send you away, but don't say it so loudly, how can General Gongsun solve it!" β
Yan Liang looked left and right, and then he saw that Gongsun Zhan's people were all looking at him with an angry face, and he was suddenly a little uncomfortable, he just thought that he couldn't live up to the general, but he forgot to say this, it was to make the benefactor in front of him unable to get off the stage, which made Yan Liang not know what to do.
"General Yan," Gongsun Chan moistened his throat and paused,
And Yan Liang and Wen Chou's bodies stiffened, quietly waiting for Gongsun Zhan's next words.
"In this troubled world, there is such a loyal person as the general, Bo Jue admires it very much," Gongsun Zhan did not hide his appreciation, "If the general wants to go back to Chang'an, then go back, Bo Jue will never stop him." β
Yan Liang asked tentatively, "Really?" β
"Seriously!" Gongsun Zhan's temperament is already elegant, like a scholar, people can't help but believe it, and this tone is so solemn that Yan Liang has to believe it.
"The most admired thing in Bo Jue's life is a person who is loyal and righteous, and General Yan is worthy of Bo Jue's admiration." Gongsun Zhan smiled gently, "General Wen is righteous, willing to sacrifice himself for his friends, Bo Jue also appreciates it very much, in the future, he will definitely say a few more kind words in front of Lord Taishou." β
Seeing that Gongsun Chan was appreciative from the bottom of their hearts, the two were also relieved.
"General Gongsun, in Xia and Gongji, one went to Jiangdong, and the other went to assassinate Cao Cao, all because of Xu You." Wen Chou is simple-minded, since Gongsun Chan treats them very well, it doesn't hurt to tell them the truth, which is also a condition in itself.
Yan Liang also knew that Wen Chou had always been measured, and he would not say the purpose of the trip for no reason, so he didn't stop him, after all, he sent someone to Chang'an, and after a little investigation, he understood.
But Gongsun Zhan didn't know who Xu You was, and was a little confused, "Who is Xu You?" β
