"This ......"

The crowd was immediately embarrassed.

Now that Yuan Tan has fallen into the hands of Zhao Yun and them, if they are not rescued, they can only wait.

When Cao Jun arrived, there was only a dead end waiting for them.

If it is rescued, it may hurt Yuan Tan's life.

For a while, everyone was at a loss!

"I have a word, please listen to it!"

Simbi on the side suddenly opened his mouth.

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

"What do you think, Mr. George?"

Guo Tu snorted coldly, looked at Xin Bi and asked.

"Now that the situation has collapsed, it is extremely unfavorable to continue to fight against the imperial court."

"Instead of this, why don't we take the initiative to surrender to Cao Mengde, so as to preserve a share of glory and wealth."

Simbi is slow and straightforward.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Qi shouted loudly, his eyes widened angrily,

"I thought you had some high opinions, but I didn't expect to turn your back on the Lord for glory!"

"Zhao Yun, they were able to rob the lord smoothly, I'm afraid they also have an inseparable relationship with you, right?"

"Come on, arrest all the Simbi brothers!"

With his order, his soldiers "hula" and all surrounded him.

"Stop, whoever dares to be rude to Mr. George, I will kill him!"

Seeing this situation, Wang Zhao, who was in the same boat as Xin Ping and Xin Bi, immediately stood up.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him also swarmed up, and they were in a stalemate with Jiang Qi's men.

The two sides can be described as sabre-rattling, full of gunpowder smell!

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Guo Tu on the side,

"Mr. Gongze, since you are the most trusted advisor of the Lord, you should make a statement."

In his opinion, Guo Tu is loyal to Yuan Tan, and of course he will stand on his side.

However, to his surprise, Guo Tu touched his chin and hesitated,

"I don't think what Mr. George said is unreasonable."

Guo Tu naturally has his own considerations.

If Yuan Tan was good, he naturally had no other objections.

But the problem is that Yuan Tan is controlled by Cao Cao's people, and the situation is not good for Yuan's side.

No matter how loyal Guo Tu is, he must think carefully about himself and his family!

"Mr. Gongze, you ...... You have vain your trust in the lord! ”

Jiang Qi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.

He never expected that even Guo Tu, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also rebel!

"What do you say, I'm just for the good of the lord!"

Guo Tu pursed his lips and said to Jiang Qi's soldiers,

"Arrest Jiang Qi quickly!"

Among all Yuan Tan's subordinates, Guo Tu has the highest status and is the most trusted by Yuan Tan.

Sometimes he can even take the place of Yuan Tan and give orders.

Before Jiang Qi could react, his subordinates immediately turned against each other and surrounded him!

"Guo Tu, you bastard!"

"Shut his mouth up!"

Guo Tu waved his hand, and then said to Xin Bi with a smile,

"I wonder what Mr. George's plans are?"

"I still have some friendship with General Zhao Zilong, and I will go to see him in person later."

Simbi laughed.

"That's great!"

Guo Tu was overjoyed.

After a little tidying up, Xin Bi came to the door of the county government and said loudly,

"I'm Xinbi, I hope to inform General Zhao Zilong!"

A moment later, the gate of the county government squeaked, slowly opened, and Xin Bi swaggered in.

"Mr. George, how's it going?"

Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked solemnly.

"Please rest assured that the Yuan army has agreed to defect to the prime minister, and Jiang Qi, the only one who opposes it, has been arrested."

Simbi laughed.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and the others were all relieved!

With the defection of Guo Tu and others, Ping'an County also successfully fell into the control of Zhao Yun and others.

……

A few days later, outside Ping'an County.

Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Xin Bi, and even everyone including Yuan Tan stood outside the city gate, waiting quietly.

In a short time, dust was gathering in the distance, and a large army was galloping towards it.

When they got closer, they were playing the banner of Cao Cao.

"I've seen the prime minister!"

Everyone stepped forward in unison and said respectfully.

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, taking turns holding the hands of Xin Bi, Zhao Yun and others, with a very affectionate attitude.

"I was able to take Ping'an County today, and you have made great contributions, and I will ask the Son of Heaven to reward you and others when I turn around!"

"The prime minister is polite, or the facial features of Zhonglang will guide him well."

"That's right, we're just drawing a scoop from a gourd."

Zhao Yun and Xin Bi hurriedly said modestly.

"You don't need to be polite, but I won't leave any of those who have merit."

Cao Cao laughed and looked at Yuan Tan on the side,

"Xiansi nephew, don't come unharmed?"

After knowing that the general trend had gone, Yuan Tan's whole person seemed much more decadent.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, he just barely showed a wry smile.

Like the stars and the moon, everyone hugged Cao Cao and walked towards everyone.

In the high hall of the county government, Cao Cao took turns to meet with Xin Ping, Wang Zhao, Wang Xuan and others.

For these people who took the initiative to take refuge, he also said good words to appease and reward.

"The criminal minister Guo Tu, I have seen the prime minister!"

Guo Tu cautiously came to the hall and saluted Cao Cao.

"You're Guo Tu?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,

"I was able to defeat the Yuan clan before, and Mr. Gongze has a lot of credit."

Guo Tu's face was suddenly extremely embarrassed.

Although he knew in his heart that whether it was Yuan Shao or the Yuan family, being able to defeat so quickly was related to his bad idea.

But Cao Cao's ridicule in public still made him a little unable to get off the stage.

Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't intend to embarrass him, and said with a faint smile,

"But if you can abandon the darkness and take the initiative to take refuge, I plan to appoint you as the Taishou of Wei County."

When Guo Tu heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

He originally thought that even if Cao Cao didn't kill himself, he would give himself an idle job at most.

But he didn't expect that Cao Cao would hand over such an important position as Wei Jun Taishou to himself!

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness!"

Guo Tu said excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, it was the Wuguan Zhonglang who proposed that I appoint you as the Taishou of Wei County."

Cao Cao waved his hand and pointed to Yang Ling on the side.

Guo Tu was taken aback again, and hurriedly said gratefully,

"Thank you, General Lieutenant Lang!"

"Mr. Gongze, you don't have to be polite."

Yang Ling smiled.

Although Guo Tu is really a bit of a dragon and phoenix chick in terms of strategy, he still has some real talent and learning.

As a county guard, it is more than enough to manage the place.

Besides, he has a good reputation in Jizhou, and if he is reused, he can also play a role in buying horse bones.

This is also why Yang Ling suggested that Cao Cao reuse Guo Tu.

When Guo Tu thanked him for his kindness, after going down, the next one to come up was Wen Chou.

"I've seen the prime minister!"

Wen Chou stiffened his neck and reluctantly saluted Cao Cao.

Seeing the burly and fierce-looking Wen Chou, Cao Cao was like seeing a mature woman, and his heart was like a cat's claw.
