Chapter 774: True Descent, False Descent
In the face of Yuan Shang's fierce offensive, Yuan Tan soon couldn't bear it again. Then, what is ironic is that Yuan Tan actually played a scoundrel again.
Yuan Tan: Don't fight, fight again, if you fight again, I can take refuge in Cao Cao!
Yuan Shang: Nima, do you think I haven't heard the story of the wolf? I'm going to fall for you? Call me! Beat me to death!
Yuan Tan: Damn! It's said that it's only three things, but this TM is only the second time, and you're so ruthless. After all, it's still not a brother, you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous, you forced me! Don't think that I really won't go to Cao Cao!
So, Yuan Tan was forced to be anxious this time, and he really planned to surrender to Cao Cao. Of course, it is said to be a fall, but in fact, it is also a false fall, in Yuan Tan's heart, it is more appropriate to describe it as endurance and humiliation, lying on salary and tasting courage. Nonsense, not to mention that Cao Cao is his Yuan Tan's father-killing enemy, it is Yuan Tan himself, if he is really willing to be subservient to others, then why not succumb to his brother Yuan Shang, but to surrender to the foreign enemy and the enemy Cao Cao! You must know that the family concept in this era is very strong, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had a hard time, but in the end, Yuan Shu failed, and he didn't want to take refuge in Yuan Shao. No matter what, it's better to let your own family be the emperor than to let outsiders be the emperor.
Moreover, not to mention Yuan Tan, even Guo Tu is absolutely unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao now. Back then, Guo Tu and Guo Jia had an agreement, whether it was a joke or not, no matter how many people really took the words at that time to heart, but they all proved that these guys had lofty ideals and were very proud.
If Guo Jia was in Cao Ying at this time, he would still be above 10,000 people under one person. Then Guo Tu may also surrender to Cao Cao and run over to help Guo Jia. Make sure he Guo stands! But now, Guo Jia has fallen. If Guo Tu comes over again, not to mention whether he will be taken seriously, because of his relationship with Guo Jia, he Guo Tu will definitely be suppressed by Cao Cao.
In this way, chickens fly eggs and beat eggs, which was originally the best of both worlds, and a good way to put eggs in two baskets, but now it has failed to please any of them. How can Guo Tu accept this kind of thing?! So. Guo Tu would not surrender to Cao Cao under any circumstances, or rather, he would not sincerely surrender to Cao Cao. Until now, Guo Tu is still thinking about helping the Yuan family defeat Cao Cao and create brilliance again! Of course, it's one thing to have momentum, it's one thing to be conscious, it's another thing to have perseverance. It's another thing to have strength. This is the reality of society, and in many cases, it is not necessary to work hard to achieve results.
In short, Guo Tu's plan at this time is. Under the pretense of surrendering to Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yecheng and besiege Wei to rescue Zhao. forced Yuan Shang to retreat. And Yuan Tan took the opportunity to attack Yuan Shang with Cao Cao, then Yuan Shang would be defeated. And wait until Yuan Shang is defeated. Because they are all Hebei people, compared to Cao Cao. Yuan Tan's side must be easier to get, so Yuan Tan took the opportunity to restrain Yuan Shang's troops, but he actually refused to operate. Cao Cao came from afar, and the food and grass were not enough, and he would definitely retreat in the end. In this way, Yuan Tan will be able to base himself on Jizhou and make progress again.
In short, the current surrender is just using Cao Cao, and when he is done using it, he will cross the river and tear down the bridge, turning his face and denying people. Of course, it must be a bit risky to do this kind of thing. But wealth and wealth are in danger, no matter how you say it, it's better than the current situation, right?
In this way, Yuan Tan sent people to Xudu to surrender to Cao Cao, and the person sent was Xin Ping's younger brother, Guo Jia's titular in-laws, "little brother" Xin Bi.
There is no doubt that Simbi is a talent. Perhaps, in Yuan Shao's camp, the brilliance on Xin Bi will always be covered by the two big brothers Xin Ping and Guo Tu above, but that is also because Xin Bi is humble and low-key. However, it is precisely because of Xin Bi's character that Xin Bi has always been completely different from his eldest brother Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Guo Jia.
It can be seen from many details of the year that Xin Bi is cautious, not as ambitious as Guo Jia, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping. Back then, the four brothers started from scratch, and their goal was to become a master and become a rich man in the world, and they were full of pride for a while. And in the end, the four brothers did succeed.
However, when he became a multimillionaire, Simbi felt that it was almost enough, suitable, satisfied, and could no longer take risks and stop it. But whether it is Guo Jia, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others, they all feel that it is not enough, and it is far from enough. Xin Bi himself is obviously not easy to quit, Guo Jia has already found out back then, although Xin Bi also has his own ideas, but in the face of his eldest brother and others, he is really not good at opposing some things. In addition, Guo Jia also left later, and Xin Bi completely became a transparent little follower.
So in this way, Simbi was dragged into the position of billionaire little by little. But even so, Guo Tu is still not satisfied, Xin Ping is still not satisfied, and as for Guo Jia, that ambition is obviously greater. Originally, everything was going well, and it wasn't a big deal. Simbi also has nothing to say, dissuade? With such a successful example in front of you, can you still open your mouth?! But now, Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao, and Guo Jia fell on Cao Cao's side. Such a living, bloody example is placed in front of Xin Bi's eyes, he has never thought that his idea is right like now, he should have stopped a long time ago, if he continues to fight like this, he will really lose his life! Hundreds of millions of dollars are worth enough for a long time, and they can't be used up, for the sake of those billions and tens of billions, aren't you afraid of losing yourself and losing nothing?!
Unfortunately, no one listened to him. Guo Tu and Xin Ping are just out of the way, even if they lose a penny and live on the streets, they have to fight for the position of the richest man!
In this way, until this moment, Xin Bi sent an envoy on behalf of Yuan Tan and surrendered to Cao Cao. Xin Bi did not go back to Yuan Tan's side, but took the opportunity to throw himself directly at Cao Ying. What about not being taken seriously? What if you can't climb to the top? At least this side is safe, at least this side can keep hundreds of millions of net worth. Moreover, with him Xin Bi taking the lead here, even if Xin Ping and Guo Tu fail completely in the future, there should be a way out for them to choose.
Xin Bi's actions naturally surprised Xin Ping and Guo Tu, and they even thought that Cao Cao forcibly left Xin Bi behind, rather than Xin Bi himself taking the initiative to stay. It wasn't until this moment that the two eldest brothers gradually realized that this little brother also had his own unique thoughts, just like Guo Jia, he had his own plans, but not everything was the same as they thought.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is not much to say about this. Brotherhood will never change, no matter who is right or wrong, just hope that each of them can have a good future that can satisfy them in the end.
Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed about Yuan Tan's surrender, whether it was a real surrender or a false surrender, this was a great opportunity to exterminate Yuan Shang in one fell swoop. And Xin Bi, whether it has anything to do with Guo Jia or not, at least he picked up the same cheap as Chen Qun, and was greatly praised by Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
