Chapter 350: Surrender or Resistance?
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang brought back by Zhang Fei, and was surprised and surprised at the same time.
They were going to Linfu to find Zhuge Liang, but suddenly met Zhuge Liang who was assassinated outside the city, which was a coincidence, which made Liu Bei feel suspicious and vigilant.
"Mr. Wolong also knows me? Do you know I'm coming? ”
Liu Bei asked hesitantly.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to say: "It was Yuan Zhi who said it, he said that Uncle Liu Huang was going to come and invite me out of the mountain, I thought about it, Uncle Huang is a relative of the Han family, and he is determined to calm the world and help the Han family, how can I let you come and invite?" I just want to take the initiative to see Uncle Huang. Yuan Zhi must have said to Uncle Huang, let you be polite, please not succeed once, please a few more times, right? ”
Xu Shu really said so.
Hearing that Zhuge Liang could still say these words, Liu Bei's suspicion of Zhuge Liang was alleviated a lot.
"yes!"
Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Yuan Zhi did say so. ”
It is precisely because of this that he is dissatisfied, a scribe, is it worth the eldest brother to invite several times?
It's just that seeing Zhuge Liang so sensible and taking the initiative to find his eldest brother, he doesn't feel anything.
"It's Yuan Zhihu here."
Zhuge Liang smiled, he still lied when he said this, he was originally going to avoid Cao Cao's people, and he didn't want to take the initiative to find Liu Bei, he took the initiative to find it, it was a last resort.
"Mr. Wolong, why are you so ......?"
Liu Bei asked again.
Zhuge Liang shook his head in distress and said: "I don't know why, Cao Cao's people have been staring at me, they even found Linfu, when I was about to go to find the emperor's uncle, Cao Cao's people happened to find here, if it wasn't for General Zhang's arrival, I'm afraid I would have been taken away." ”
Guan Yu said sharply: "That Cao thief, damnable! ”
Liu Bei thought about it seriously, believed eighty percent of the Zhuge Liang in front of him, and left the two percent, and brought it back for Xu Shu to take a look at and solve it, and said: "Fortunately, I let Yide come forward to explore the way and save Mr. Wolong, fortunately!" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "My intention, like Uncle Huang, is to calm the world, support the Han family, the world's capable people, and the Han family is still important, only Uncle Liu Huang, if Uncle Liu Huang doesn't believe it, you can take me back to Xinye, let Yuan Zhi take a look." ”
Liu Bei didn't believe it even if he still didn't believe it, but he couldn't show it, and hurriedly said: "It's my honor that I can get Mr. Wolong's help, and I also ask Mr. Wolong to follow me back to Xinye." ”
"It's also my honor to be valued by Uncle Huang!"
Zhuge Liang bowed, thinking that he was finally safe.
Liu Bei is like this, he didn't need to go to Linfang, so he found Zhuge Liang and brought him back.
On the other side, Cao Gu was hit by Zhang Fei, and he was still seriously injured, but he also endured the pain and asked people to send the matter here back to Cao Ang.
——
Youzhou, Jixian County.
Yuan Xi took Yuan Shang and fled all the way back here, and then immediately concentrated his troops, collected grain and grass, and prepared to fight Cao Cao.
However, Youzhou's population and grain and grass have long been in continuous defeats, and they have been almost consumed by the Yuan family, and it is difficult to collect them again now.
The entire Youzhou is now in trouble, and the clouds are gloomy.
Yuan Xi forcibly conscripted troops and grain, and the people were miserable and did not know what to do.
Jiao Touch is a native of Youzhou, and when he saw that Youzhou was tossed like this, and Yuan Xi had to forcibly recruit troops, he felt a little uncomfortable, but at this time, he received a letter from Cao Cao to persuade him to surrender, asking him to capture Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang alive to surrender, so he hesitated.
Zhang Nan is also a native of Youzhou, and has a good relationship with Jiao Touch, when he received the letter of persuasion, he first went to find Jiao Touch, in fact, he didn't want to see Youzhou being directly tossed by the Yuan family.
"What do you think?"
Jiao Touch asked.
Zhang Nan hesitated for a long time and said: "I think I can surrender Cao Cao, I heard that the generals of Bingzhou have basically surrendered, and they have been reused by Cao Cao, the Yuan clan is already like this, and it is no good to follow them to fight, it will only drag Youzhou down." ”
Jiao Touch agreed.
It was useless to follow Yuan's side, and Yuan Xi could not be Cao Cao's opponent.
"Surrender may be the best way out."
Jiao Touch said.
Zhang Nan said: "Then, let's contact Cao Cao first, and when Cao Jun comes, open the gate of Jixian County." ”
The two of them, after a brief negotiation, agreed that they could surrender.
Only surrender is true, the best way out, I really don't want to fight with the Yuan brothers to the end.
——
Cao Cao was in Wuji County and was stationed for several days.
The deal with the Zhen family was almost reached, Cao Cao gave Zhen Yao several official positions, and Zhen Yao also persuaded Mrs. Zhang that she was willing to marry Zhen Mi to Chen Zhou, so she officially led the troops away.
Cao Cao's only regret on this trip is probably that he failed to have an in-depth communication with Mrs. Zhang, and he never forgets Mrs. Zhang in his heart, such a beautiful, it is difficult to forget, if it is not for Chen Zhou's relationship, he will definitely not let it go.
It's just that Chen Zhou hasn't seen Zhen Mi yet, so he is going to follow Cao Cao's army north.
"Okay, help me get Zhen Mi!"
Chen Zhou felt that they were all liars.
Where's my Zhen Mi?
I can't even see each other.
After a few days of marching north with the army, the army finally came to the edge of Jizhou and Youzhou, and they could see that Yuan Xi and his troops had already laid down their forces here and built a defensive line, ready to resist the attack of Cao's army.
The guard was none other than Tian Yu, who was transferred back from the border.
"Wataryuki, how's that?"
Cao Jun did not order an attack, nor did he attack this line of defense, but asked Chen Zhou to come over and ask what to do.
Chen Zhou thought for a while and asked, "The lord has done what I said before, right?" ”
Cao Cao said: "Send a letter of persuasion to Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, but Tian Yuhe has not yet taken the lead." ”
Chen Zhou said: "You don't need to fight, you can persuade Tian Yu to surrender, Tian Yu and the trick, you can't use the persuasion book, you need to send someone to go." ”
The two of them are different from Zhang Nan.
But he was confident that he would surrender.
"Lord, I can go on."
After Cheng Yu rebelled against Guo Tu and the others, he was full of confidence in himself and felt that he could rebel against others.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and agreed: "Tian Yu will be handed over to Zhongde, you must remember, you have to be careful." ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do, even if the persuasion is unsuccessful, it is not difficult to come back safely!" ”
The task of how to persuade Tian Yu to surrender fell on Cheng Yu.
"Uncle!"
At this time, Xia Houjie walked in and said, "Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, there is a letter to reply." ”
Cao Cao opened it and finished reading it, and laughed and said: "Zhang Nanjiao touched the two of them, and he was really willing to surrender, and he was right, okay!" ”
But in his letter, he asked what the plan was.
"How to arrange the preparation for crossing?"
He asked again.
Chen Zhou thought for a while and said: "Wait until Tian Yu is successfully persuaded to surrender, and then let them do it, and at the same time as we attack the city, let them capture Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang and bring them out." ”
Tian Yu surrendered, Yuan Xi and they will definitely be in chaos.
Then just catch people in the chaos, this effect should be good!
"According to Wataruyuki's arrangement!"
Cao Cao didn't hesitate, he directly confirmed it, and then asked Cheng Yu to persuade Tian Yu to surrender.
