"My lord, now Cao Mengde controls the power of the court, sits on Yan, Qing, Xu, and other states, and has warriors like clouds, strategists like rain, and soldiers are strong."

"If you continue to resist, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe."

"Instead of stubbornly resisting, it is better to take the initiative to surrender."

Xin Ping said slowly.

"Mr. Nakaji's words are wrong!"

Guo Tu was the first to jump out and objected,

"Don't look at Cao Cao, he looks very strong, but it's just a bluff!"

"As long as we return to Youzhou, join forces with the second son, and then contact the Wuhuan people, as well as Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, there is no chance of a comeback!"

At first glance, his proposal seems to make sense.

But Xin Ping shook his head and said bitterly,

The second son's attitude is ambiguous, so let's not talk about it for the time being. The Yuan family has declined to this point, and it is good if the Wuhuan people don't stab them back, so how can they help us? ”

"As for Liu Biao, Sun Quan and others, they are even more short-sighted."

"If they are willing to take action, they will send troops to help as early as when the ancestor fights Cao Mengde."

Guo Tu smiled coldly and turned on the mouth cannon mode of personal attack.

"Why does Mr. Nakaji keep growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige?"

"Could it be that when your brother sent Cao Cao to envoy, what ulterior did your brother reach with Cao Cao?"

Xin Ping suddenly trembled with anger, pointed at Guo Tu and reprimanded,

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Lord, look, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!"

Guo Tu clapped his hands and laughed.

Seeing that they were arguing, Yuan Tan, who was already upset, had a headache.

"Enough, stop arguing!"

When everyone was quiet, Yuan Tan took a deep breath.

"My father died at the hands of Cao thieves, how can I be in the same league with him?! I'm already planning to fight to the death against Cao Thief! ”

Hearing this, Xin Ping secretly sighed.

Guo Tu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said,

"The lord is wise!"

"My lord, the messenger of the Cao army...... How? ”

Wen Chou made a decapitation gesture.

"Let them have a full meal first, and send them on their way tonight."

A cold light flashed in Yuan Tan's eyes, and his tone was also full of murderous intent.

Simbi, who had been silent in the corner, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

After everyone dispersed, Xin Bi quickly caught up with Xin Ping,

"Big brother!"

"What's wrong?"

Xin Ping asked with a smile.

Xin Bi glanced at it and found that there was no one around, so he whispered,

"I have something important to tell my eldest brother!"

Seeing his younger brother's solemn face, Xin Ping didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took him back to his residence.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Big brother, I can't hide it, I came back this time on the orders of the prime minister!"

Xin Bi conveyed Cao Cao's meaning to Xin Ping.

"What? You actually took refuge in Cao Cao? ”

Xin Ping was taken aback after hearing this, and couldn't help but say,

"You...... What a betrayal of you! ”

But Simbi smiled disappreciatively,

"Big brother, you can't say that. If Yuan Shao is still alive, I will naturally not betray him. ”

"But as far as incompetent people like Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang are not worthy of our allegiance at all!"

Xin Ping's face was cloudy.

As his younger brother said, none of the sons of the Yuan family can become a big thing.

Putting aside the traditional morality of loyalty, whether you want to protect the Xin family or achieve a career, it is wise to take refuge in Cao Cao.

After a long time, he let out a long breath of turbidity and asked in a low voice,

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"Who can you convince in our army?"

Xin Ping thought about it,

"That's great!"

Simbi Daxi,

"He happens to be in charge of guarding General Zhao Zilong, if he can convince him, it can be said that he will get twice the result with half the effort!"

……

Yuan Tan arranged Zhao Yun and his party in the military camp in the city.

"Zilong, how's the situation?"

Zhao Yun took a turn from the outside, and as soon as he entered the door, Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Gao Shun came forward.

"There are at least three battalions of troops around us, and I was just about to go out, but they stopped me."

Zhao Yun whispered the situation outside and told them about it.

"From this point of view, Yuan Tan is determined to meet the prime minister."

Gan Ning smiled hideously,

"General Meng Qi, today is a good opportunity for us to compete again!"

"You're right."

Ma Chao also smiled, his eyes were equally bloodthirsty and cruel.

"General Zilong, when are we going to do it?"

Gao Shun looked at Zhao Yun calmly.

"Wait, if there is a change, Mr. George will come and inform us."

"Good!"

……

The sky gradually darkened, and a team of soldiers brought the prepared food to Zhao Yun and them.

The one at the head is none other than Simbi.

"How's it going?"

Zhao Yun asked in a low voice as he took the food box from Xin Bi's hand.

"Yuan Tan has no intention of taking refuge in the prime minister, and plans to do it to you tonight!"

"So how do we fight back?"

"My brother has already contacted Yuan Tan's general Wang Zhao, let's take the lead tonight!

"Okay, then we'll wait for your news in the camp!"

After some discussion, Zhao Yun and Xin Bi finally decided on an action plan.

After dinner, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning and their entourage were all stubborn and waited patiently in the camp.

Not long after the hour had passed, the watchmen heard footsteps outside the camp.

Gan Ning was boneless, and when he sat up, the weapon was already in his hand.

"General Zilong!"

The first to walk in was Xin Bi, and behind him was his brother Xin Ping, as well as an unfamiliar general.

"This is my brother Xin Ping, this is General Wang Zhao!"

Time was urgent, and a few people didn't care about greetings.

"I've taken care of everything, and you guys can get out of the way."

Wang Zhao said with a smile.

"Good!"

Zhao Yun nodded, and said to everyone behind him,

"Action!"

Without too many words, the hundred soldiers of the camp immediately left the camp.

Under the cover of night, they quickly headed towards Yuan Tan's mansion like a silent grim reaper.

Sure enough, as Wang Zhao said, the checkpoints along the way were all unimpeded.

When there was still a street away, Xin Ping and the others stopped.

"Next, it's up to you, General Zilong."

"Don't worry!"

Zhao Yun clenched the spear in his hand and led everyone to move forward.

Yuan Tan's mansion.

The lobby is brightly lit.

Yuan Tan sat in the hall, and Wen Chou, Cen Bi, Peng An and other generals were all wearing military uniforms and waiting quietly.

"What time is it?"

Yuan Tan asked.

"If you go back to the lord, it's about three o'clock."

Wen Chou said.

"It's almost time, get ready to act."

"Whoa!"

Wen Chou clenched his fists, and just as he was about to leave with Peng An and the others, a shout of killing came in.

Although the shouting was not loud, it sounded like it was right outside the door.

Yuan Tan's heart sank, and he hurriedly called the guards outside the door,

"Go find out what's going on!"
