Chapter 420: Cao Mengde wins another loyal minister
When a tiger from Jiangdong meets a tiger idiot, there will naturally be no good results, and Sun Yi is not as good as Sun Jian. Originally, Sun Yi, who was supposed to die in the hands of Bian Hong, was torn alive by Wei Yan and Xu Chu. Both generals died, and the Jiangdong army could only He could choose to retreat. At this moment, Cao Jun arrived and Jiangdong Army was defeated again. Han Dang packed up the remaining troops and retreated to Changsha. He personally held the ancient ingot sword and went to Jianye to report his death to Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
At the foot of Wuling City, the Jiangdong Army retreated, and Cao Cao's army came again. Thinking about how heroic the Jiangdong Tigers were back then, but now their heads were hanging high, and seeing the heads of Sun Jian and his son on the flagpole, Cao Cao felt a little sad. However, he soon After recovering, these princes are the source of chaos in the world. If one more dies, the world will be more stable.
"Xianhe, didn't you say that Wuling is ready to surrender? Why don't I see any sincerity in surrendering?" Looking at the tall Wuling City, Cao Cao looked indifferent, as if he was not tempted by Wuling City.
"Prime Minister, sincerity has been hung on the city wall, haven't you seen it?" Jian Yong smiled calmly, but Cao Cao was a little surprised.
You must know that Liu Bei's men are famous for their fierce generals, but the civil servants under his command are unknown. Therefore, in Cao Cao's view, most of the scribes under Liu Bei have no talent. But after contacting Jian Yong, Cao Cao found that Liu Bei's civil servants were also in trouble. , especially after seeing Jian Yong’s eloquence
"Well said." Cao Cao understood what Jian Yong meant and couldn't help but nodded. Liu Bei was dead, and there were only three major princes in the world. Wei Yan and Xu Chu would not join Liu Zhang who killed Liu Bei. Now, Sun Jian and his son died under Wuling City, and This cut off the two people's hope of seeking refuge with the Sun family. They could only seek refuge with Cao Cao, otherwise they would have to wait for destruction.
"Prime Minister, if you agree to our terms, I will immediately enter the city and ask generals Wei Yan and Xu Chu to surrender." Although the terms were stated many times, Cao Cao never gave a clear answer. Jian Yong felt a little heavy, for fear that Cao Cao would not agree.
"Huh..." Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice: "If I agree to avenge Liu Bei and give Liu Bei an identity, do you think Wei Yan and Xu Chu will be loyal to me?"
"Of course we will," Jian Yong said: "We only have one wish now, which is to kill Liu Zhang to avenge our lord."
"Okay" Cao Cao made up his mind and said: "I promised you to enter the city now and let Wei Yan and Xu Chu come to see you."
"Yes." After Jian Yong bowed and saluted, he rode towards Wuling. The soldiers in Wuling City all knew him and would not stop him.
Wei Yan and Xu Chu also saw Cao Jun, and they were waiting for Jian Yong. Jian Yong explained the process of meeting Cao Cao, and told them that Cao Cao promised to avenge Liu Bei. Not only that, he also agreed to give Liu Bei a Han clan clan member Liu Bei's identity, and named Liu Bei's heirs as marquis, hereditary network
Liu Bei's heir has been killed by Liao Li. It doesn't matter whether he is a marquis or a king. When Jian Yong heard that Liu Bei didn't even have any blood left, he couldn't help but be furious and wanted to kill Liao Li to avenge him. He knew that if Liao was let go When they saw Cao Cao immediately, there was no chance for revenge. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the prison, Liao Li had already left.
Liao Li was not stupid either. He had been operating under Liu Bei for several years. How could he not have half a confidant? Just when Xu Chu was about to execute him, his people were already in prison preparing to save him. If Xu Chu had killed him at that time, it would have been It was all over, but Xu Chu didn't kill him and gave him a chance to escape.
While Wei Yan was at war with Xu Chu and the Sun family, Liao Li escaped from the city among the rebels. When Jian Yong came to look for him, where could he find him? They failed to kill Liao Li, so Jian Yong and others could only sigh and went to face him.
Seeing Cao Cao, Wei Yan and the others left Wuling City with uneasiness. But they did not expect that Cao Cao had been waiting outside the city for a long time and was still waiting in line outside the camp.
"Meet Cao Gong" When they saw Cao Cao, Wei Yan and the other three knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
"Quickly recall the former glory of Wen Chang, which made me admire you so much. It is my honor to see you again today." Cao Cao supported Wei Yan with a happy face. The heroic appearance of Wei Yan fighting Hua Xiong at Hulao Pass.
, Cao Cao has always been fascinated by it. Now that Wei Yan has come to surrender, how can Cao Cao not be excited?
"I have offended many people in the past. Please forgive me, Duke Cao." Wei Yan sighed: "I have no other hope. I just want to avenge my elder brother. As long as Duke Cao can fulfill this wish for me, I will be loyal to Duke Cao and will never change my life."
"The article is long and quick, and the truth is admirable." Cao Cao said with a smile: "The truth is to unify the world. Anyone who blocks the truth is the enemy of the truth, but Liu Zhang is the most powerful one among the enemies of the truth.
However, now that Wen Chang and Zhong Kang are helping us, we have a better chance of winning."
"Wei Yan pays homage to your lord." After hearing Cao Cao's words, Wei Yan knelt down on the ground and gave another big salute. Then, Xu Chu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong also knelt on the ground.
"Everyone, please get up quickly." Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned over to help him. He had taken a lot of advantage in the battle between Liu Zhang and the princes. Now that Liu Bei is dead, he has taken an even bigger advantage.
You know, after Yan Liang and Wen Chou surrendered, Cao Cao once asked them to compete with Hua Xiong. Although no one used their killing moves, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yan Liang and Wen Chou's martial arts were on the same level as Hua Xiong. That is to say
, Wei Yan's martial arts is still better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Coupled with Xu Chu, whose martial arts is unknown, Cao Cao will make a lot of money.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Wei Yan stood up and ordered the principal to bring a tray and said: "We are returning today. To show our sincerity, we have prepared all the tiger talisman seals and ribbons. Please check them with the Prime Minister."
"Why are you doing this, Chief Wen?" Cao Cao said with a smile, "If we don't have an army, how can we avenge Xuande in the future? From now on, all the troops in Wuling will be under your command."
"This..." Wei Yan said: "Prime Minister, I am just a subordinate general. How can I have so many troops? I still ask the Prime Minister..."
"What kind of surrendered general?" Cao Cao said: "You don't have to be suspicious when you employ people, and you don't have to be suspicious of people. From today on, you are the general under your true command. There is no such thing as a surrendered general. If someone uses your service for Xuande as an excuse, you will come."
Tell the truth”
"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness." Wei Yan picked up the tiger seal ribbon and saluted Cao Cao again.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Long article, I am not very familiar with these people under Xuande's command. How about you introduce them to me?"
"Dare you disobey your order?" Wei Yan pulled Xu Chu over and said with a smile: "Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang are my third younger brothers. His martial arts are still above mine, but his military skills are slightly lacking. He can be a general of the bodyguard. If the prime minister..."
"Needless to say," Cao Cao pointed at Xu Chu and said, "From now on, you will be the commander of my personal guards and be in charge of the 20,000 personal guards under my command."
"This..." Xu Chu hesitated for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, the commander of personal guards must not be a close confidant, and a close confidant cannot serve. I..."
"Why, you defected to me and are not going to be my trusted confidant?" Cao Cao's face darkened, looking very unhappy.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Xu Chu was still a little embarrassed, but Wei Yan kicked him, and he quickly knelt down to accept the order. Cao Cao then happily helped Xu Chu up.
"Zhongkang, I will leave my safety to you from now on." Cao Cao patted Xu Chu's thick shoulder with great satisfaction. Although Xu Chu was not wearing armor, the strong muscles on his body made Cao Cao's hand hurt.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister avenges my elder brother, I will protect the Prime Minister with my life. Anyone who wants to hurt the Prime Minister will have to step over my body." Xu Chu was very moved by his trust in Cao Cao. He knelt on the ground and patted the Prime Minister. Chest guarantee.
"True loyal minister" helped Xu Chu, and Cao Cao was all smiles. In fact, he didn't know why, but he always had an inexplicable sense of trust in Xu Chu in his heart, and he felt that he could entrust his life to Xu Chu. After Xu Chu stood up, he couldn't help but He walked behind Cao Cao and did what a guard should do to make Cao Cao feel that Xu Chu should stand behind him to protect him.
After Cao Cao and Xu Chu finished greeting, Wei Yan immediately pulled Sun Qian over and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, this is Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, my eldest brother's most trusted adviser. In the past, when he was in Xuzhou, Zheng Xuan was recommended by Zheng Kangcheng's husband, and it was Kang Cheng who My husband’s disciple handles everything, and even my eldest brother appreciates it.”
"Oh, it turns out he is Kang Cheng's husband's disciple, I'm disrespectful." Cao Cao heard this and quickly bowed and saluted, not daring to neglect, even though Sun Qian was not famous.
You must know that Zheng Xuan was a famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty. He devoted his whole life to organizing and annotating Confucian classics, bringing Confucian classics into a "little unified era." People who can establish a relationship with him are by no means ordinary. Cao Cao has many people under his command. One of them was also a disciple of Zheng Xuan and made many contributions to Cao Cao. However, Zheng Xuan's disciples were all good at civil affairs, so it is not surprising that Sun Qian's reputation is not prominent.
"Why is Duke Cao doing this?" Sun Qian hurriedly returned the gift. He shook his head and sighed: "I can only do some chores. I can't rule the country by writing, and I can't stabilize the country by force. I have been doing nothing under Duke Xuande for more than ten years. How dare I be treated as a gift from Duke Cao?" ?”
"What Gongyou said is wrong." Cao Cao said with a smile: "How could Kangcheng's husband and Xuande's vision be wrong? In the past, my reputation was not obvious, but there was no place to show it. In the future, I will definitely be famous all over the world. You know, Kangcheng's husband Another high-ranking student, Guoyuan Guozini, and Zao Zhi are in charge of farm affairs for me. I would like to ask Gongyou to cooperate with them. What do you think?"
"Brother Zini?" Sun Qian bowed and said, "How dare I disobey Duke Cao? Thank you very much, Duke Cao."
"You don't have to be polite" to help Sun Qian up, Cao Cao almost burst into laughter. He really didn't realize before that little Liu Bei had such a family, not counting the two powerful generals, he also had a political talent and an eloquence talent. Cao Cao He sighed secretly in his heart: "Liu Xuande is so lucky, but it's a pity that his skills are so poor that the year will never be off."
"Prime Minister, please come into the city." After introducing everyone, Wei Yan stretched out his hand and said: "I'm already at the city lord's palace. I've prepared a banquet for the prime minister to receive the wind and cleanse the dust. Please move over."
"Okay" Cao Cao held Sun Qian with his left hand and Wei Yan with his right hand, followed by Xu Chu and Jian Yong, and strode towards Wuling City...
