Chapter 330: Persuasion
Cheng Yu set off, walked for a long time, and finally came to the vicinity of Yuan Tan's camp.
When they went to the enemy camp, there was definitely danger, but Cheng Yu was not afraid, he went indifferently, not panicking, but as soon as they appeared, they were discovered by Yuan Tan's scouts.
The scouts came out with a few hundred men and surrounded them.
"Cheng Yu, a strategist under Prime Minister Cao, ask to see the eldest son, our prime minister has a way to help the eldest son break the situation and seize power, you can help go back and spread the word!" Cheng Yu said calmly.
The soldiers hesitated, but reported the matter.
They are just ordinary soldiers, and they can't help Yuan Tan decide whether to see or not to see, so Yuan Tan has to decide for himself.
After waiting for a while, the soldiers surrounding Cheng Yu separated and made a way.
An officer came over and said, "This Mr. Cheng, our son is waiting in the barracks, please come here." ”
Cheng Yu walked leisurely, walked to the barracks unhurriedly, and came to Yuan Tan's barracks, he saw Yuan Tan sitting behind the big tent, staring at himself, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, sitting on both sides.
Guo Tu and the others had been waiting for Cao Cao's next plan, but they didn't think that Cao Cao would send someone over to assign tasks.
Of course, Cheng Yu knew that the two of them were already their own people, and with this guarantee, they were more confident that they would be fine, and it would not be a problem to leave alive, but out of respect for Er Wuzai, he didn't have much eye contact with them.
The two of them just glanced at it indifferently and continued to sit.
"I've seen the eldest son!"
Cheng Yu said.
"You say there is a way to help me break the situation and take revenge, or even seize power?"
Yuan Tan originally wanted to kill Cheng Yu, but thinking that he could break the situation and seize power, and he could take revenge, he couldn't resist this temptation, and finally agreed to see Cheng Yu to see how bold this person who dared to come to see him was.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Exactly!" The method is also very simple, our prime minister wants to cooperate with Gongzi and deal with Yuan Shang together. ”
When Yuan Tan heard this, he sneered: "Cooperate with Cao Cao? You think you're humorous, don't you? Cao Cao and I have no hatred for each other. ”
Cheng Yu laughed, looked directly at Yuan Tan, and explained: "May I ask the eldest son, what kind of hatred does Prime Minister Cao have with you?" It should be said, what kind of hatred do you have with the general? In fact, the general and Prime Minister Cao Cheng are still playmates who grew up together, and the relationship is very good, they have no hatred, and they are not enemies. If it weren't for Liu Bei's treacherous villain, who provoked in Yecheng at the beginning, the Yuan family and the Cao family would not have been able to fight. ”
The general is Yuan Shao.
Yuan Tan's mind was relatively simple, listening to Cheng Yu's words, he actually felt a little reasonable, and wanted to say something to refute, but he didn't know from which angle to refute.
He was silent.
Cheng Yu said again: "The death of the general has nothing to do with Prime Minister Cao Cheng, does it?" ”
Indeed it is.
Yuan Shao died of illness, which has no direct relationship with Cao Cao, it can only be said indirectly, because Yuan Shao's qi is too small.
"Put the grievances aside, and let's take a look at the situation of the eldest son."
"The elite of Qingzhou you brought is definitely not the opponent of the tripartite alliance of Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan, and this is the first battle, and you will be defeated."
"The eldest son wants Yuan Shang to die, on the contrary, Yuan Tan is definitely eager to kill the eldest son, once the eldest son is defeated, it is certain death, and the eldest son is willing to be killed by Yuan Shang?"
Cheng Yu analyzed Yuan Tan's situation and fooled Yuan Tan.
Guo Tu and Xin Ping just listened to the side, didn't say a word, and let Cheng Yu perform by himself.
Yuan Shang sneered: "Do you think I will lose to Yuan Shang?" Is this possible? ”
Cheng Yu said lightly: "Why is this not possible?" According to the position you are in now, as long as Yuan Shang sends a team of troops to cut off your way to the north, and then attack from the front, you will all be trapped here and slaughtered. ”
Before arriving, Cheng Yu did his homework.
I have a complete understanding of the situation of Yuan Tan's current garrison.
Hearing this, Yuan Tan thought about the location of his military camp and the nearby terrain, he was a little arrogant, but he didn't understand anything, he still knew how to fight and set up formations, and his face changed when he thought of it.
Like, really!
Fortunately, it's okay now, Yuan Shang can't see the problem, and he didn't attack.
Otherwise, as Cheng Yu said, none of them can escape.
This is the strength of Cao Cao's subordinate strategists, who are stronger than their own, and Guo Tu and the two of them can't see this problem.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng really wants to cooperate with the eldest son, and when Prime Minister Cao Cheng conquers Yecheng, he promised that he can let the eldest son be the pastor of Jizhou, inherit the general, and inherit everything of the Yuan family, and the eldest son only needs to publicly admit Prime Minister Cao."
Cheng Yu continued: "In order to help the eldest son resist, we will also send you a batch of new weapons, while you are fighting, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army will take advantage of the situation to attack Yecheng, and respond to the eldest son, if it goes well, wouldn't it be possible to kill Yuan Shang with hands?" ”
Joining forces with Cao Cao is the best way to kill Yuan Shang.
Yuan Tan does not deny this.
In addition, what Cao Cao said was to give them new weapons, which made Yuan Tan not know how much to think about.
He knew how strong Cao Jun's weapons were.
Cheng Yu's conditions, Yuan Tan felt very tempted, according to the plan of joining forces, he could not only take revenge, but also take power and get the position of general, which was a good deal.
"Is Cao Cao really that good?"
Yuan Tan was thinking in his heart, he didn't trust it very much.
Cheng Yu finished everything that should have been said, and quietly waited for Yuan Tan's response.
It's just that Yuan Tan didn't respond immediately, and his attitude was much more polite, and said, "Come on, take Mr. Cheng down to rest first!" ”
He had to discuss this kind of important matter with the advisors around him before he could determine whether it was feasible or not.
Cheng Yu was quickly taken down, and Yuan Tan immediately asked, "What do the two gentlemen think?" ”
Of course it's good!
They were thinking at the same time, but now they were pretending to be pondering.
"The eldest son, I think, can agree."
Xin Ping spoke first.
Yuan Tan asked, "Can Cao Cao be trusted?" ”
In their cognition, Cao Cao is a scheming person.
What he wants to do, what kind of trick he uses, it is possible.
Guo Tu said: "Cao Cao is scheming, but he really has no way to face Yecheng. You must know that Yecheng is under the reinforcement of the old lord, and ordinary people can't break it, if you don't cooperate with the eldest son, even if he attacks the city crazily, he may not be able to break the city. I think Cao Cao must be thinking that instead of wasting time attacking the city here, it is better to cooperate with the eldest prince and break it from the inside, Cao Cao is scheming, but his credit is good, and he is still trustworthy. ”
Yuan Tan listened and nodded in agreement.
Xin Ping echoed: "The two of us are more inclined to cooperate with Cao Cao for the time being, otherwise the third prince will really not let go of the eldest son, and I also have a good solution to the concerns of the eldest son." ”
"Sir, please!"
Yuan Tan asked in surprise.
In fact, after listening to Cheng Yu's words, he felt a little moved, after all, he was about to reach a desperate situation, and it was difficult to resist without relying on external forces.
