See Sima Ju behave like this.

Xu He couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Brother Sima, what is written on it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to take the document from Sima Ju's hand.

Listening to Xu He's inquiry, Sima Ju instinctively shrank back, he regretted a little that he spread out the paperwork so hastily.

But after reacting.

Still could only hand the things to Xu He with a little hesitation, and the content written on the silk book was immediately presented in front of Xu He's eyes.

There was one thing written on the paperwork.

That is to persuade the two of them to surrender, and list the so-called conditions for surrender.

Cao Cao stated in the paperwork.

Only one of the two, the one who surrendered, could guarantee that his military power would not be split, and that he would continue to be in charge of his old army.

The only rule to be followed was that they had to be incorporated into the army, and when necessary, they would be dispatched to fight with the Yanzhou army.

This is clearly a condition for hidden evil intentions.

Although the treatment given is very generous, allowing them to keep their old ministry, but as long as one of them is there, isn't this purely holding back bad intentions?

Xu He's brows suddenly furrowed.

And that's not all.

The next line is the key.

"Now the position of Dongping State Minister is vacant, and those who are willing to lead the people to surrender, if they can exterminate the rest of the rebels and rebels, and dedicate this miraculous feat, they will be promoted to Dongping State Minister from now on!"

Name implies.

No matter who surrenders to the two people present, as long as they can slaughter the other person, they can fill the vacancy of Dongping as the prime minister afterwards and become a county guard.

……

"Huh!"

Xu He's face visibly gloomy to the naked eye, he understood Sima Ju Fangcai, why did he say that the enemy was vicious.

Isn't this just a poison ploy?

Akari said that he was surrendering, but in fact, he wanted to use these interests in front of him to lure the two of them to meet each other and kill each other.

And once it does.

I'm afraid that the army will collapse in an instant, and there will not even be a need to stay up for another day or two, and when to do it, when will it be the day when the army of 100,000 will turn into quicksand.

"Humph!"

Xu He immediately threw the paperwork on the table.

He sneered with some disdain: "I want to use these small profits to induce my two brothers to turn against each other, but you can sit on the wall in the city and watch." ”

"When our army is in chaos, then wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman, it is really a good calculation, but it is so sinister, will the two of us be fooled?"

"Brother Sima, what do you think?"

Sima Ju nodded again and again.

How can he pretend not to know the schemes that anyone with a discerning eye can see?

"What the virtuous brother said is very true, the dog thieves in the city think they have succeeded in their calculations, but they don't know that you and I have a deep friendship, and our brotherhood, especially what they can understand?"

"Anyway, no matter what, I won't leave you alone and surrender, and I'd rather die than fight in the same room, hand in hand."

"How can my brother's life be used as my personal promotion?"

……

Sima Ju's statement satisfied Xu He.

His dark complexion finally eased a little, he pointed at the scholar's nose, and then turned his head to Sima Ju and said.

"Since my brother and I are working together, then simply dismantle this arrogant dog thief and send someone back to the city, so that those rats in the city will know that we will definitely not surrender alone!"

Xu He said, and prepared to go and bring over the sharp sword he had placed on the side earlier.

Just haven't waited for him to do it yet.

Sima Ju had already spoken out to dissuade him.

"Brother Xian, kill him slowly!"

Xu He immediately raised his eyebrows, and the whole person immediately turned around and looked at Sima Ju with vigilance.

"Brother Sima, what do you mean by this, could it be that you are still lucky, thinking that you will not be able to leave room with the Yanzhou army in the city?"

Xu He went to get the sword, which was a temptation in itself.

As long as Sima Ju and him slashed this messenger a few times, even if the two of them completely broke with the city, then they could rest assured of each other.

However, now the man surnamed Sima refuses.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

And looked at Xu He's wary expression.

Sima Ju could only arch his hand with a wry smile, and then took a step back as well to show that he had nothing else in mind.

Then he explained: "Right now, this person's life is in the hands of you and me, whether he is dead or alive, but in a thought, instead of killing him now to vent his anger, it is better to ask for a clear understanding, and then it is not too late to do it!" ”

That being said, of course.

Sima Ju actually has another layer of consideration.

He couldn't let Xu He get the sword, what if this guy pretended to kill the messenger and actually suddenly broke out and did it to himself?

The human heart is unpredictable.

Don't look at Xu He's righteous indignation now, he looks extremely irritable, but no one knows what he thinks after reading the documents.

……

In fact, from the moment they saw the high reward on the paper, the relationship between the two had undergone a subtle change.

It's just at this moment.

Just barely maintaining a fragile dignity.

If it was in its heyday, then Cao Cao's lure of the two of them would not be useful.

But at the moment, the army's heart is hanging by a thread.

Even they don't know when they will collapse, and instead of waiting until the morale collapses, nothing will be left behind, and it is better to use these resources now to do some benefit to themselves.

After Sima Ju explained, Xu He didn't say anything, just nodded silently and returned to his seat and sat down.

At this time, I heard Sima Ju ask the scholar.

"It's impossible for us to kill each other, and instead of being whimsical, wouldn't it be more practical to sit down openly and honestly and talk about my two brothers and their return to your state pastor together?"

However, the scholar just shook his head.

said bluntly without fear: "Before leaving, the Ming Mansion had already explained the matter to me. ”

"There are a lot of subordinates under the command of the two marshals, if they all surrender, how much grain and grass does Yanzhou have to support so many people, so they can only support half of it!"

"Secondly, with all due respect, from ancient times to the present, there are not many people who have rebelled, if the two marshals enter the account together, if there is a rebellious heart in the future, won't it add a lot of trouble to the Ming Mansion?"

"So it will only, and only one of the two marshals can be recruited, and the rest will not be asked!"

The messenger's bluntness.

made the two of them a little speechless for a while.

The Yellow Turban Army coerced the people.

But in turn, they are also coerced by the displaced people.

Isn't it precisely because the two of them can't afford to raise such a large number of soldiers under their hands that they go on a rampage all the way and capture the city one after another, and don't dare to stop at all?

Let's talk about the latter.

Xu He and Sima asked themselves that even if they surrendered to Cao Cao, they would not be loyal to Cao Cao in the future.

Most of them are nesting without a chance, with their own small calculations, they will rebel again if they have the opportunity, and rebellion is as simple as drinking water for them.

Therefore, the two points listed by this scholar can be said to be quite logical and irrefutable.

……

"You are so outspoken, you don't leave any leeway, aren't you really afraid of death?"

When the messenger heard this, he was not afraid to laugh.

Quite happily smiled: "Since you have taken over such a heavy responsibility, you have already put life and death out of the way, but you are just dying, what is there to fear?" ”

"It's just that if the two marshals want to kill me, please listen to my last word."

The voice fell.

did not wait for Xu He and Sima Ju to express their position.

The scholar was already pacing in the tent and began to talk to himself.

"Dongping Prime Minister, do you two know what kind of official position this is, this is a county guard!"

"It is a high-ranking official who is difficult for ordinary people to reach all their lives, and it is a high-ranking official who can own a large piece of territory of his own, stay on his own land, and the people under his hands even have to be honored as a king."

"The two marshals said that this is a discordant plan of our army, and I want to force the two of you to kill each other, whether it is or not, I am white, and I don't know."

"I only know that the Ming Mansion is a man who does what he says, and if he makes such a promise, he will definitely do it, and he will never go back on his word!"

"That's all I have to say, how to do it all depends on the intentions of the two handsomes!"

In a word.

The scholar closed his eyes on the spot and stood there like a statue, as if he no longer intended to say a word.

……

See this.

Xu He and Sima Ju looked at each other.

There was a complicated look in his eyes, and a good sense of excitement was hidden.

After the envoy told them this, the two of them were indeed a little tempted, if it weren't for their scruples about each other, I am afraid that they would not be able to help but ask for details now.

I have long heard that Taishou is the heaven of a county, and he is the emperor of the soil on his own territory, and no one can control what he wants.

The most important thing is that after getting this official body, he will no longer be easily exterminated by the imperial court, and he can close the door openly and only do his own thing.

If you can have a piece of land of your own.

In the future, there will be no need to rely on robbery to live, you can collect money for a long time, continue to collect money, how can you do a one-day business like now.

As for the death of his companions......

Why not?

Everyone calls each other brothers, and they really treat each other as buddies, not to mention that the relationship between everyone is far from being brothers, but they are both Yellow Turban Army Marshals and are from Qingzhou.

What's more, even if it's a brother!

Isn't the brother just the one who sold it at the critical moment?

Therefore, the two of them do not have a little psychological burden.

What is lacking now is nothing more than how much success there is if you get rid of the other party.

And how to ensure that Cao Cao kept his promise and not reversed himself after the death hand.

……

There was an eerie calm in the tent.

The sound was so low that the pins could be heard.

Didn't speak.

But while being silent, Xu He and Sima Ju secretly stared at each other.

In such a tense atmosphere.

It's been a long time.

Sima Jucai coughed, and said in a somewhat dry tone: "No matter how high and powerful this Taishou is, it can't compare to the affection of my two brothers." ”

"If we can't advance and retreat together, then the two of us will resolutely not surrender, even if we will fight to the death, even if the whole army will be broken up tomorrow, then we will bite off a piece of meat from you in this half a day!"

Sima Ju said that he was sincere.

Vehement.

And Xu He nodded again and again.

It was just that as Sima Ju's words fell, Xu He suddenly thought of a question.

"Brother Sima, since we are all unwilling to surrender alone, what should we do with this person?"

Sima Ju's eyes flickered.

Without thinking, he replied: "This person has the heart to die, and it is useless to kill him, so it is better to put him back in the city, and let him ask this Yanzhou Mu one last time to see if things can turn around." ”

Fang Cai was still shouting Xu He, who was unloading, and this time he also gave an uncharacteristically "um".

It's very simple.

At this moment, they have already begun to think about killing each other and planning a position from Cao Cao.

If the messenger is killed, it will be tantamount to breaking with the city, and the way to surrender will be completely cut off, so no one will say anything about it again.

……

"Whoa!"

The two lifted the curtain of the tent and brought the scholar out together.

Finally, under Xu He's gaze.

Sima Ju patted the scholar on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Our two brothers have the intention to belong, but this condition is too harsh, and please go to Cao Zhou Mu for instructions after you return to the city, and ask him to change his mind no matter what." ”

Speaking of which.

He also commanded the guards on the left and right: "Send this gentleman down to the city, and don't be lazy!" ”

It's just that in the blind spot of Xu He's vision, Sima Ju's right hand, which was placed horizontally in front of his abdomen, quietly pointed in one direction.

Signaling the guards to send people to his own tent, he still needs to ask for a lot of details, as long as he can hold this messenger in his hand, he will definitely have more opportunities than Xu He.

After the scholar disappears from his eyes.

Sima Ju turned around and glanced at Xu He, squeezing out a smirk on his face.

Just before he could speak.

Xu He said coldly: "Our army is huge, and you and I are mixed together, after all, it seems crowded and redundant, so I plan to move the camp to the west side by about a hundred steps, I don't know what you think?" ”

Sima Ju was stunned for a moment.

The smirk that had just emerged froze immediately, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"What the virtuous brother said is reasonable, and it should be so!"

This shows that they have lost trust in each other, so they simply move the camp in order to protect themselves.

…………

At this moment, above the castle tower.

Cao Ang stood with his hands in his hands.

Looking at the Yellow Turban military camp in the distance, which was moving to the east and west.

I couldn't help but smile a little on my face, and my eyes were full of expectation.

"Even moving the camp, such a troublesome thing has been done, presumably the enemy is suspicious, so it seems that tomorrow is promising!"

Listening to Cao Ang's muttering.

Han Hao, who was following on the side, cautiously asked, "General, since there have been changes in the enemy's army, can the plan of leaving the army that Mr. Gongda said before be ready to be implemented?" ”

Cao Ang nodded.

Just as I was about to say something.

Sudden change.

As far as the eye could see, the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally moving the camp, suddenly became chaotic, and then the large army moving to the east and west began to run wildly in the direction where each other were.

But after a few breaths.

There was a violent shouting of killing in his ears.

Yellow Turban Army, civil strife!

Cao Ang blinked a little confusedly, what was the situation, and he started to do it inexplicably.

This is a bit out of the blue!

Our three-step strategy has just taken one step, and we are about to reach the end?

After being stunned.

Cao Ang also quickly came to his senses.

Hurriedly instructed Han Hao: "Things have changed, you quickly send someone to inform General Zhang Liao and order him to prepare to leave the city immediately!" ”

"You go to the county government again, and be sure to inform the government of this situation!"

Wait until Han Hao ran away in a hurry.

Cao Ang propped his hands on the city wall.

staring at the upheaval in the distance, my heart couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Things went unexpectedly well!"

……

On the wilderness outside the city of Jinxiang.

Xu He led his troops to fight with Sima Ju.

The two led their respective troops and slaughtered each other's former companions, killing the killers.

It's just that this kind of thing is too shocking to turn against his comrades, and the military is already fluctuating at this moment.

Therefore, those involved in the civil war are all directly subordinate to the two of them, and the vast majority of the outcast militia on the periphery is just pure chaos at the moment.

"Xu He, you are not a mad dog, now you and I have a big battle, it will only lead to the collapse of the army's heart faster, even if you win at that time, what can you do, lose the troops at hand, what are you in the eyes of others, is it possible that you will be given too much duty?"

"Sima Ju, it's all here, what are you still pretending to be there, if it weren't for me keeping an eye on it and sending someone to keep an eye on the north wall of Jinxiang City, I'm afraid I won't know until I die, you didn't send the messenger back at all, but secretly stayed!"

"You want to kill me, and if you want me to lead the neck, you can't kill me, even if you fight for nothing, I will die with you today!"

The corners of Sima Ju's mouth twitched twice.

This damn reckless!

This can be regarded as breaking all his calculations, and he originally wanted to solve Xu He silently, and then take over the other party's soldiers at the lowest cost.

And so it goes.

He has the qualifications to negotiate with Cao Cao.

It has the capital to make Cao Cao fulfill his promise.

As a result, people are not as good as heaven.

was so stirred up by Xu He, I really don't know where the situation will go.

……

Just as the two of them were beating, their eyes were red.

Each of them is a little bit on the top.

A strong tremor was suddenly felt on the ground.

This made Xu He and Sima Ju's movements a little slower, and they all took the time to look in the direction where the vibration came from.

The sound came from the east side of Jinxiang City, that is, to the northeast of Xu He and to the southwest of Sima Ju.

As far as the eye can see.

There was smoke and dust billowing and fog flying.

Accompanied by a large amount of dust, you can also see thousands of soldiers with yellow scarves wrapped around their heads, all rushing towards this side as if they are dying, and their mouths are still shouting and screaming.

Seeing this, Xu He changed color.

"Sima Laogou, you actually mobilized Zhang Chang, it seems that you have already had the intention of killing me, even if I Xu He dies today, I will chop you into pulp!"

This guy regarded the rout troops running from Dongcheng as reinforcements mobilized by Sima Ju to support.

It's also a big oolong.

Although Sima Ju was puzzled that he had never given such an order, he thought that it was most likely that Zhang Chang discovered the movement here, so he transferred troops to support him without authorization, so he was not surprised.

If you can quickly solve Xu He.

That might be able to barely survive without collapsing.

"The surname is Xu, this is the will of God to kill you, you didn't want to leave you a way to live before, but now that my people are here, you just wait to die!"

One side is depressed, the other side is excited.

It's just that over time.

The two suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

These soldiers who came from Dongcheng had no rules at all, and they were like insects that had their heads off, running wild in all directions.

It's not like it came with a purpose.

It looked like something was chasing after it.

And at the same time.

"Bang dang!"

There was a loud bang at the north gate.

When you look around.

I saw that the north city gate, which was originally closed, suddenly opened at this moment, and at the same time, the suspension bridge on the moat was also lowered, and a large number of soldiers and horses poured out of the city.

"The surname is Xu, we have been tricked!"

…………

The ground is killed, and the dragon and snake rise to land.

On the wasteland north of Jinxiang City, it has become a pot of porridge at this moment, and it has completely become a pulp.

Everywhere there are people running for their lives.

The shouts, the wails, were endless.

It's just that the vast majority of people don't know what the situation is at the moment, they don't even know where the enemy is, and they don't know where they will be safe.

I just know that others are running.

Then run with you, yes!

And it is in such a scenario.

Cao Ang rode on the red rabbit horse, and together with Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and others, led the rest of the city to pour out of the nest.

"Generals, now that the enemy army has been dispersed, our army is victorious."

"And what we have to do is to collect and surrender troops as much as possible, and be sure to let these soldiers who flee from all sides surrender to us immediately!"

"According to Gongda's plan to leave the army, the slogans written by my father are now coming in handy, this is the time to reap the spoils, don't be soft, generals!"

Xiahou Yuan and the others smiled heartily.

Immediately, they all clenched their fists.

"Don't worry, general, we will obey the general's orders!"

After responding to the peace.

The crowd immediately led their troops towards the battlefield.

Gongs, drums, and trumpets are sounded.

In short, the momentum is huge.

It made the Yellow Turban thieves panic more and more, and the rout of the army was like a mountain falling to the sea, and the heavenly pillar collapsed, and it was already the end of the road in an instant.

……

"Put down your arms, lie on the ground, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who flee will be killed immediately!"

"Submit to our army, be loyal and obey orders, reward the land in five years, and give the land in ten years!"

Two very smooth slogans.

While the Cao army cut into the battlefield, he repeatedly shouted loudly, causing more and more routed soldiers to involuntarily drop their weapons and lie on the ground.

And this situation, as Zhang Liao led the cavalry to the battlefield, instantly aggravated several times.

The invincible might of the cavalry.

With the allure of rewarding the fields in the slogan, many of the routs who were ready to flee to the mountains actually chose to surrender directly to the ground.

all north of the city in the wilderness.

It was already full of soldiers lying on the ground.

If you stand on a high place and look down, you will only feel that it is a piece of yellow paper, embedded with black ink spots.

"General, according to their own identification, this corpse should be Xu He, one of the two commanders, and as for the other commander, Sima Ju, he has already led his soldiers at this moment and fled to the north in a hurry."

Located in the location of the main camp of the Chinese army.

A general reported to Cao Ang.

Looking at the corpse in front of him dressed in armor and neatly dressed, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile.

Then he turned to the heralds.

"Immediately issue an order to the city, and the whole city will be dispatched to accept and surrender the soldiers, please control the scene!"

"I will personally lead General Zhang Liao and General Cao Chun to lead the cavalry to the north to pursue the enemy!"
