Chapter 267: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
The bitter meat plan has been used for a long time, but what really carried it forward and became famous all over the world was that Huang Gai used the bitter meat trick to surrender to Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi, which led to the legend of burning Chibi.
Therefore, when Zhuge Ke saw the whip wound on Qin Yuan's back, he sneered three times, and decided that Qin Yuan also wanted to follow Huang Gai's example, and used bitter meat tricks to deceive and prepare to earn the ghost sorrow, so he bluntly drank it on the spot, and at the same time, Zhuge Ke observed Qin Yuan's reaction with cold eyes, and if there was anything abnormal, he immediately launched the Yuanmen beheading to show the public.
Zhuge Ke's reaction was naturally expected by Qin Yuan, he got dressed unhurriedly, and said calmly: "I have heard for a long time that Zhuge Yuanxun is brilliant and resourceful, and few people in the world can match it. ”
Tang Zhi scolded angrily on the side: "Bold! General Zhuge 's reputation, how can you be so resistant? ”
Zhuge Ke was not angry, waved Tang Zhi back, and said indifferently: "How can the name not be deserved, you can tell me about it?" ”
Qin Yuan said calmly: "The two countries have fought each other, and both have surrenderers, why did General Zhuge conclude that it was a bitter plan when he saw the scars?" Back then, Huang Gai surrendered to Cao, it was a plot to attack Cao's water village with a fireboat, and now he came alone, unarmed, and your army's position was also lost, why did General Zhuge know that I didn't really surrender? Originally, in the Wei camp, Sima Yi was going to take a certain head, and a certain came to avoid disaster, but he didn't expect to be suspicious of General Zhuge , or not, horizontal and vertical is a dead word, what are you afraid of, please General Zhuge immediately behead a certain head, and from then on it can be regarded as cutting off the heart of the north to return to the south. ”
Zhuge Ke's face was undecided, and he did have the intention of testing Qin Yuan, but Qin Yuan's answer was fluent, and he couldn't see any flaws, and he said it reasonably, especially the last sentence, cutting off the heart of the north to return to the south, which made Zhuge Ke even more shocked.
For a long time, Wei is strong and Wu is weak, and those who surrender to the enemy and traitor on the Wu side will bow their heads and pick them up, while those who surrender to Wu in Wei are very few in Liao Liao, and now there is finally one who surrenders, but he is killed indiscriminately, and the consequence may be to discourage those Wei generals who are ready to surrender to Wu.
Therefore, in the absence of definite evidence, it is impossible for Zhuge Ke to kill Qin Yuan.
However, just with Qin Yuan's few words, Zhuge Ke no longer has any doubts, and he believes in him all, it is obviously impossible, and Zhuge Ke must be cautious and cautious in dealing with this kind of person who descends in front of the formation, and he cannot leave the slightest luck.
"I just thought that General Qin was a brave general who charged into battle, but I didn't expect that he was still a bachelor who could speak well, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful." Zhuge Ke said with a haha, at this time, he didn't mention that Qin Yuan was a real or false surrender, but praised Qin Yuan's knowledge.
Qin Yuan is also a child of a family, and he is also literate and hyphenated, not comparable to ordinary barbarians and reckless people, he has already heard the meaning of Zhuge Ke's words, obviously Zhuge Ke's test of himself is not over, fortunately, Sima Shi gave him several sets of scripts to deal with various situations that may arise, fortunately, the current plot development has not yet run out of the scope of the script, Qin Yuan can barely cope with it.
The military generals of the Han and Wei dynasties are not as distinct from the civil officials as the military generals of later generations, and most of the military generals of this era are also well-educated, such as Yanghu Du Pre, not only a generation of famous generals, but also a generation of literati, including Zhuge Ke himself, can also be called a Confucian general.
Therefore, even if Qin Yuan's answers are like fluent and clever words, Zhuge Ke is not strange, but he feels that Qin Yuan is a talent, and with his knowledge and talent, he can only be a general in the Wei army, which is simply a great condescension.
At this time, the Chinese officer came in a hurry and whispered a few words in Zhuge Ke's ear, Zhuge Ke nodded frequently while listening, and glanced at Qin Yuan from time to time.
Qin Yuan suddenly understood, this must be the Wu army's hidden in the Wei military camp to send back yesterday's news, just right, this can also prove Qin Yuan's words from one side.
Sure enough, after listening to the words of the Chinese officer, Zhuge Ke's face softened a lot, and said: "If General Qin sincerely surrenders to my Eastern Wu, he will be treated as a national soldier, and if he surrenders by fraud and tries to profit from it, he will be beheaded, and he will not be merciful!" ”
Qin Yuan immediately said: "The last general will return to Eastern Wu, there is no second heart, if there is a different will, it will be punished by heaven, and ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart and die." ”
Zhuge Ke waved his hand and said, "Come here, put wine, and be shocked by General Qin." ”
Wu Bing immediately prepared a banquet in the partial tent, Zhuge Ke personally took Qin Yuan's hand, sat down in the partial tent, and the generals accompanied him on the side, and the banquet was presented on land and sea, which was luxurious.
"General Qin was born in the Northland, but he doesn't know if he is used to the food in Jiangdong?" Zhuge Ke pointed to the table full of fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles and smiled.
Qin Yuan said: "Fortunately, I am not very picky about my diet, and I can wrap my stomach." ”
"Even if you don't get used to it, there's no way, General Qin won't be able to eat the food of the Central Plains in the future, so you can only adapt slowly. Come, this first cup of wine, I respect General Qin, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and in the future, you and I will be ministers in the same hall and serve Soochow together. Zhuge Ke raised his wine glass and saluted Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan deliberately half-bowed and drank the cup.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became warm, Zhuge Ke was enthusiastic and frequently toasted, and the generals of the Wu army also took turns to handle the lamp, which made Qin Yuan a little overwhelmed.
Looking at this formation, Qin Yuan understood that this Zhuge Ke didn't fully believe himself at all, he obviously wanted to get him drunk and let him drink and spit out the truth.
Qin Yuan secretly screamed that it was not good, although his amount of alcohol was okay, but no matter how good the amount of alcohol was, it would not be able to stop so many generals of Eastern Wu from toasting in turn, if he continued to drink like this, he would definitely get drunk, and after being drunk and unconscious, Qin Yuan could not guarantee that he could say anything and what he could not say.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan simply pretended to be drunk, and after drinking a few glasses in a row, he deliberately staggered: "General Zhuge ...... Certain...... It's hard to drink...... No...... Can't drink anymore......"
Zhuge Ke smiled and said: "Today is in a good mood, and we will not get drunk and go home." ”
Raising a glass and persuading again, Qin Yuan only drank half a cup, and then poured it on the table, unable to bow down on the table.
Zhuge Ke stretched out his hand and pushed him, and said, "General Qin, you can't drink this amount, come on, drink again, drink again!" ”
Qin Yuan lay on the table, muttering indistinctly in his mouth, limp as mud.
Zhuge Ke glanced at the attendants behind him and said, "Come on, help General Qin back to the tent to rest."
The attendant immediately supported Qin Yuan and left.
As soon as Qin Yuan left, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became solidified, Zhuge Ke looked around at the generals and said, "Look, is this Qin Yuan really surrendered or defrauded?" ”
