Chapter 107 He Yan and Cao Cao (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Do you still dare to go back?
Zhang He himself didn't even know.
He didn't know what kind of Yuan Shao he would see when he went back.
Hysterical? Or despair?
At the worst, Zhang He would probably have to die to apologize.
If it's the former, maybe Zhang He still has a glimmer of hope.
But why does Zhang He want to gamble?
It’s not like… there’s no better way out!
Zhang He came back to his senses and looked at He Yan, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
"It seems that as Marquis Shen said, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Hebei."
"Don't worry, General Zhang. You can go back, but you still need some time to wait."
He Yan saluted Zhang He: "In this case, I would like to ask the general to rest where he is. I will come to visit the general again after I return to the army and express my wishes."
If Zhang He decides to surrender, Gao Lan will naturally follow Zhang He.
In this way, He Yan alone caused the 30,000 Hebei army to switch sides in an instant!
When He Yan returned to Guandu, Cao Hongdu suspected that he was just dreaming.
I have heard of successful attempts to persuade enemy troops to surrender.
But I have never heard of anyone successfully persuading an enemy force many times their number to surrender.
"Marquis Shen."
After Xun You learned the news of Zhang He's surrender, he immediately traveled quickly, which amused everyone who was used to Xun You's slowness.
After seeing He Yan, Xun You asked directly——
"Zhang He surrendered?"
"It has indeed fallen."
He Yan's eyes were full of relief: "In this case, there is no need for everyone to die."
Xun You also breathed a sigh of relief: "Just surrender."
He Yan glanced at Xun You, but quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.
Xun You frowned slightly when he saw He Yan like this.
He could feel that He Yan was different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
When everyone gathered together, there was a noise outside the camp.
The sound was tinkling, dense yet orderly.
The sound rang for a long time, until finally it neatly broke into pieces and converged into one sound——
"Marquis Shen is mighty!"
Everyone walked out of the camp and took a look, only to find that a group of wounded soldiers were already standing together, forming a formation towards He Yan.
At such a scene, even Cao Hong couldn't help but sigh: "Since Sikong, these Qingzhou soldiers have never respected someone so much."
Xun You and Liu Ye also turned to look at He Yan.
I thought He Yan should be proud, proud and proud at this time.
But on the contrary, countless gloomy emotions piled up on He Yan's face, almost just one step away from exploding.
"Do these stinky Qiuba guys know that I am Marquis Shen?"
"Then what did they mean by eating a succulent Hou before? Haha!"
"..."
Cao Hong and Liu Ye were both a little tired.
At this time, this is what you care about?
It was Liu Ye who put his hand on He Yan's shoulder: "There's nothing wrong with having more meat..."
Just as he was about to continue, He Yan suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing red as if he would burn Liu Ye to ashes in the next second.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ye quickly changed his words: "It was indeed everyone's fault to call him Duorou Hou before!"
"But haven't all the soldiers changed their tune now?"
Liu Ye said in a smooth manner: "Although we provided food to the soldiers before, it was only to make the soldiers accept Marquis Shen."
"Now Marquis Shen enters the enemy camp alone and persuades tens of thousands of enemy troops to surrender, but he saves the lives of many soldiers, which is different from before."
"From today on, the name of Marquis Shen will be famous all over the world, so why bother with these soldiers anymore?"
He Yan looked suspiciously at the wounded soldiers outside who were missing arms and legs: "Really?"
Liu Ye took a step back: "Marquis Shen will know after you try it!"
He Yan walked out of the camp and deliberately shouted: "What did you just say?"
"Marquis Shen is mighty!"
"The voice is too low! I can't hear you!"
"Marquis Shen is mighty!"
"Three more times!"
"..."
The soldiers did not hesitate at all and shouted in Qingzhou dialect: "Marquis Shen is mighty! Marquis Shen is mighty! Marquis Shen is mighty!"
He Yan's eyes were slightly shocked, obviously he didn't expect these soldiers to be so obedient.
Xun You also came behind He Yan at this time. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or reminding He Yan——
"A soldier is an ominous weapon."
"Those who die are those who have poor fortune."
"To lead an army, you need ferocity."
"A basket of food and a gourd of drink will not lead to life if you get them, nor will you die if you don't get them. Although it is a blessing, it cannot be enjoyed by the less fortunate."
"Only having millions of powerful soldiers in your chest, you can retreat the enemy when you advance, and protect yourself from the outside... Killing with your hands, holding spears and hides, this is what allows these poor people to survive."
Xun You looked back at He Yan, who was already deep in thought, and nodded gently.
This time, Xun You admitted that he had misjudged He Yan.
He Yan's courage... was greater than he thought.
However, given time, it still needs polishing.
Xun You thought about it and went to Zhang He's camp to take charge of Zhang He's military power.
"Two or three sons!"
Changes occur suddenly!
Xun You and Cao Hong both looked at He Yan who suddenly spoke up, wondering what he wanted to do.
He Yan, who looked a little depressed just now because of Xun You's words, raised his head, and his whole person became energetic, with radiance flowing all over his body.
"Are you willing?"
The soldiers below were confused for a moment and didn't know what He Yan was going to do.
"I have been stuck in the camp for nearly a year without enough food or warm clothes. Now the enemy has surrendered without a fight... but are you willing?"
"A comrade died in battle, his limbs were severed, but you can't take revenge personally. Are you willing?"
I saw He Yan raising his right arm: "Although the enemy troops outside the camp have surrendered, there are still many sluggish turtles in the Yangwu camp opposite!"
"If you are brave enough, follow me there and kill! If you don't want to, just stay in this doghouse by yourself!"
Cao Hong, Xun You, and Liu Ye all stared at He Yan in surprise at this moment.
This person with all the harsh words in his mouth...is he really He Yan?
Only Cao Pi was not here, otherwise he would have pointed at He Yan and cried to everyone: "You guys have seen it! This is the true face of that bastard He Yan! Who of the serious people would hit someone in the first chapter! You guys are blind.
Guys! Do you know how I came here in the past few months? Wuwuwu~~~"
Although there was no voiceover from Cao Pi, Xun You still hurried forward to stop He Yan: "Marquis Shen! Our mission is to defend the camp..."
He Yan turned around, his mouth seemed to be mocking but also seemed to be proud of revenge: "The military advisor is afraid?"
Xun You was a little speechless and didn't know what kind of response he should make.
Cao Hong also stepped forward to persuade him: "Yulang, the foundation of Yuan Shao's camp has not been destroyed. It is too risky to send troops now."
"adventure?"
"There is no war without risks."
He Yan pointed to the soldiers of the Guandu camp: "The military advisor also said just now that they are soldiers."
"I treat them as human beings... but they are still soldiers!"
"If you are a soldier, you are going to fight!"
There was an indifference in He Yan's eyes that he didn't even notice: "Uncle Zixiao taught me half of the rules in the army, but today, these soldiers and military advisors taught me the remaining half."
Soldiers, no need for mercy!
Xun You looked at He Yan's unkind back, and now he noticed something was different about He Yan.
He has become... more like He Yan.
"General Cao, if Marquis Shen wants to go, go ahead."
If He Yan wants to fight this battle, let him fight it.
Xun You knew he was wrong.
Now He Yan is qualified to truly fight a war!
He Yan also turned to Liu Ye at this time and said: "Brother Ziyang, bring me a red robe!"
Liu Ye had a clear look on his face: "Marquis Shen wants to imitate Sikong and personally go into battle to encourage the soldiers?"
"no."
He Yan responded silently in his heart: "The main reason is that he is handsome, and it can increase wind resistance..."

Wuchao.
Cao Cao's army has finished cleaning up the battlefield.
"Cut off the noses of all the soldiers and the tongues of the cattle and horses, and drive them to Yuan Shao's camp!"
There were screams one after another.
Soon, almost all the living creatures in Yuan's camp died.
The cattle and horses were thrown directly into the fire and grilled by the hungry soldiers, while the corpses of the soldiers were all buried.
Several dozen bloody noses were put together and boarded on the carriage heading to Yuan Ying.
Along the way, blood continued to seep out, dyeing the road from Wuchao to Yuanying with a red line.
At this time, Chunyu Qiong, whose nose had been cut off, was also brought to Cao Cao by Le Jin.
Cao Cao did not kill this old friend.
Old friends are like leaves falling in the wind, each piece withering away.
Along the way, Cao Cao has lost too many friends, and Chunyu Qiong is already one of the few familiar faces.
"Zhong Jian, why are you and I doing this?"
Chunyu Qiong thought Cao Cao was asking why she lost to Cao Cao, so she immediately endured the pain of cutting her nose and mocked: "Winning or losing is determined by God! What do you ask me to do?"
Cao Cao was speechless, and his feelings of reminiscing about the past were completely extinguished by Chun Yuqiong's determination.
"never mind."
"But since we are old friends, I don't want to kill you."
"From now on, you can follow me to Xuchang to take care of yourself."
Before Chun Yuqiong could reply, Xu You, who had been behind him, suddenly rushed up and pointed at the bloody hole on Chun Yuqiong's nose: "Ah Hao! Look at him like this, how can he still live like an ordinary person?
?”
"What's more, every time he looks in the mirror and sees his wounds, he will inevitably feel hatred in his heart. How can you leave him a way out?"
"..."
Chunyu Qiong looked up at Xu You, but remained silent.
He and Xu You actually had some friction with Yuan Shao.
Regarding Xu You's words, Chunyu Qiong knew that he was taking revenge on herself.
but……
That’s right!
Although Chunyu Qiong was tied and knelt on the ground, her spine was straight——
"Meng De! You know my temper! Xu You is right!"
"If you don't kill me today, then I will definitely hold a grudge and will always think of revenge on you!"
"Are you willing to stay with me like this?"
Cao Cao naturally heard that Chunyu Qiong was seeking death.
He looked at Chunyu Qiong somewhat sadly, and then glanced at Xu You out of the corner of his eye.
Once upon a time, everyone wore bright clothes and angry horses, how elegant and comfortable they were?
Today, we are obviously aiming to realize our youthful ambitions, but why are we drifting away from them?
"That's fine..."
Cao Cao sat down on the ground and looked in the direction of Yang Wu——
"At the beginning, what will be the ending for you and me?"
