"I have always known Bonin to be a righteous man with an upright character. Since each of us is his own master now, I should do my best to be loyal to my respective masters. Why does Bonin practice this lobbying thing and try to trap me in this trap?"
Unjust?" After hearing that Man Chong was now an advisor to Cao Cao, Xu Huang did not show any displeasure or anger, and said as usual.
"General, you don't have to be so hasty to refuse." Seeing that Xu Huang was not going to give him a chance to speak, Man Chong didn't worry. He laughed and continued, "The general's bravery is rare in today's world.
.The general's talent is so outstanding, why should he succumb to the likes of Yang Feng? My lord Cao Mengde is a hero of the world, and his reputation as a virtuous and courteous man is well known to the world. In front of the two armies today, Cao Gong was very surprised when he saw the general's bravery.
Because of my love for him, I couldn't bear to fight to the death with the general, so I sent my favorite to invite the general. Why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, make achievements under Cao Gong, and achieve a name that will be passed down to future generations?"
"My lord's kindness in promoting me must not be forgotten. Besides, I have been serving as a general under my lord for several years, so how can I turn my back on him so easily? Bonin doesn't need to say more, my mind will not change." Even though Man Chong said a lot,
But Xu Huang's attitude is still very firm.
"The general has followed Yang Feng for many years, but he is still just a cavalry captain?" Facing the determined Xu Huang, Man Chong was not discouraged and continued to persuade him earnestly, "Today's world is in troubled times, and it is the time when heroes emerge in large numbers.
At this time, the general was under Yang Feng's tent, but he didn't get a chance to display his talents. Is the general willing to let his talents go to waste? The man who fought against the general during the day was named Gao Shun. In terms of age, Gao Shun was better than
The general is still several years younger, but now he has assumed the position of general of the military guard and is the leader of the Guannei marquis. After this incident, he may be promoted again after returning to Xuchang. The general is older than Gao Shun, so in terms of age, he is older than Gao Shun.
His martial arts and military skills are not inferior to his, but the general can only serve as the captain under Yang Feng. Isn't this a injustice to the general's great talent? If the general is willing to submit to my lord, my lord Meng Degong will surely take a high position.
Waiting for General."
Xu Huang hesitated, Man Chong's words touched his heart. After he joined Yang Feng's army, with his extraordinary martial arts, he was quickly awarded the title of Military Marquis, and was immediately assigned to ride in the capital.
However, after these few years, his identity is still just the Cavalry Captain, without any change. When he heard that the man who fought with him during the day was already a military guard general at such a young age, he had to say
Xu Huang was indeed tempted. However, Xu Huang was extremely loyal, and this small tinge of heartbeat was quickly suppressed by his loyalty.
However, Man Chong caught the change in Xu Huang's expression in time, and immediately knew that there was an opportunity to do something, so he immediately further teased Xu Huang's heartstrings: "Don't you general hear that good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose trees?"
Choosing a master to serve? It is unwise to miss a bright master when you meet him. You will regret it for the rest of your life in the future! Moreover, Yang Feng will be defeated. After my lord Cao Mengde eliminates him, where will the general go? Will he still die for him?
Isn’t it possible?”
Man Chong's words made Xu Huang speechless.
However, just when Man Chong thought that the heat was just right and Xu Huang's mind was about to change, Xu Huang said: "It is not impossible for Mr. Cao to surrender to Mr. Cao, but Mr. Cao must agree to one condition of Mr. Cao, otherwise
I swear to the death and will not surrender."
"General, please speak." Man Chong was a little surprised when he heard this. You must know that Xu Huang has always been loyal and upright. Logically speaking, given his character, surrender means surrender, and if he doesn't surrender, he doesn't surrender. How could he bargain?
"If I surrender to Duke Cao, I hope that Duke Cao will retreat ten miles to give Yang Feng, my old master, a way out so that he can escape." Xu Huang said with a serious face.
Man Chong couldn't help but be moved by this, he had to admire Xu Huang's loyalty.
Although Cao Cao himself has not yet heard of Xu Huang's request, Man Chong still agreed on his behalf, knowing that Cao Cao would definitely agree.
As Man Chong expected, when Cao Cao heard Xu Huang's condition, he was slightly startled at first, but then he laughed and agreed. In his opinion, Yang Feng deserved to die, but he was far away.
Xu Huang is far less important than the one in front of him. Yang Feng's death can certainly have the effect of establishing his authority, but using Yang Feng's humble life in exchange for Xu Huang's surrender will allow his reputation for loving talents to be spread more widely.
, allowing more capable people and strangers to come to him. As for Man Chong taking it upon himself to agree to Xu Huang's request, Cao Cao laughed it off and did not blame him at all.
——————————————————————————————————On September 20, the fourth year of Chuping (AD 193), the emperor’s frame
Entering Xuchang, we need not mention the trivial matters such as building palaces, establishing ancestral temples, and constructing city walls and treasury. Later, we talked about rewards for merit. Cao Cao led the Sikong, and also served as a chariot and cavalry general, and was awarded the title of Marquis Wu Ping. Gao Shunze
He was promoted to General Zhechong. Xu Huang had just joined and had not yet performed meritorious service, so he was treated the same as Zhang Liao when he first surrendered, and was appointed Zhonglang General. Zhang Liao was promoted to General Bi due to his meritorious service. The other generals also have their own specialties.
The reward was increased and no one was left behind.
The general situation was established, and the emperor was in control. Cao Cao had great power, so he began to plan his next move. His first target was Xuzhou, which he had failed to capture before.
Not long after the last siege of Xuzhou was lifted, Tao Qian died of illness, and the post of Xuzhou Shepherd fell into the hands of Liu Bei. Afterwards, Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and led the remaining troops to Xuzhou to surrender to Liu Bei.
Cao Cao gathered all the civil and military officials together to discuss the strategy of attacking Xu.
"I have a plan that will allow your lord to seize Xuzhou easily without spending a single soldier." The first person to speak was not Cao Cao's famous counselors, but the newly promoted general Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp.
Since you came from time travel, if you don't make more use of your memory of the original history, how can you live up to the name of this time traveler?
I just heard Gao Shun say eloquently: "Lü Bu is a tiger and wolf. He first killed Ding Yuan and then stabbed Dong Zhuo. This shows that he is definitely not someone who wants to be subordinate to others. Now that he is surrendering to Liu Bei, he is forced by the situation and cannot truly recognize Liu Bei."
Now Yuan Shu is occupying Huainan, and he has always had the ambition to be disobedient, and many of the palaces he built have exceeded the regulations. The Lord can use the name of the emperor to order Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is powerful, and if Liu Bei attacks him, he will lead his entire army.
When Xuzhou is empty, Lu Bu will definitely be dissatisfied! We can just sit back and watch Liu and Lu fight and reap the benefits."
The famous strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, I believe that once he comes up with this idea, it will definitely attract a lot of praise and applause, Gao Shun thought excitedly in his heart.
However, after a long time, Gao Shun did not hear any response. Gao Shun couldn't help but look back, only to find that most people had strange expressions on their faces.
What's wrong? Could it be that what I said was wrong? It shouldn't be, I seem to have remembered it correctly.
