Chapter 239: Cheng Yu
At this time, Zhao Yun may still think that Cao Ying is ungrateful, but in fact, otherwise, Cao Ying will never forget, and even more than anyone else will not forget Bao Xin who saved his life. It's just that Cao Ying is a hero, so he can endure this kind of thing that others can't bear. You must know that in history, Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled and attacked Cao Ying, resulting in the direct killing of Cao Ying's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and fierce general Dian Wei, but in the end, Cao Ying still didn't accept Zhang Xiu's surrender? !
Speaking of which, it is precisely because Cao Ying has such courage that after doing such a thing, Zhang Xiu will dare to surrender to Cao Ying again. Otherwise, he Zhang Xiu is a fool? Surrender to Cao Ying to let Cao Ying take revenge and send him to death?
"Zilong, war is not a child's play, can you still kill all the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army? Kill the more than a million old and weak women and children behind them? I am more saddened by Bao Xin's death than you, but how can there be immortals in war? If they all think the same way as you, how can there be a surrender, how many people are left in this world now? Cao Ying said to Zhao Yun.
"Lord, I also know this truth, but they took the initiative to surrender to us, and we took the initiative to surrender them, this is different!" Zhao Yun said seriously: This is not only a matter of interest, but also a matter of dignity and sovereignty. For example, for many ancients, honor was more important than life. It's a matter of highlighting integrity, and you shouldn't be looking for profit in everything!
Now that Bao Xin was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Cao Ying didn't want to take revenge, but wanted to take the initiative to surrender the other party. Although this is to make the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army surrender to himself, it seems that he Cao Ying softened and hurriedly went to Zhao'an, as if he Cao Ying was the one who surrendered!
Therefore, if Cao Ying beats the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to the point that they have no power to resist, forcing them to take the initiative to ask for surrender, and then Cao Ying accepts the surrender of the other party, then Zhao Yunhui has no opinion at all, dignity is there, revenge can be regarded as revenge, and he can have a clear conscience! But now? The interests are there, but where is the meaning? Where's the face? Where is the dignity? What's the point? Why is there something in this world that harms others and is not good for oneself? It's not for the sake of straightening the spine, for the sake of the breath in the chest! Think about it, if your relatives were killed by others, should you fight for your life, not afraid of power, not money, and resolutely ask for someone to pay for your life? Or do you think that the person is dead anyway, and he can't live, and the other party is a powerful person, so he can't fight at all, so he accepts the private and takes some money, how much can he live a stable and good life from now on?
This kind of thing is already very infuriating, so what about taking the initiative to ask for money and taking the initiative to go private?!
Therefore, Cao Ying's current behavior of pursuing extreme interests, holding the idea that the loss of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is his own loss in the future, doing ungrateful things, Zhao Yun will never accept it!
"As long as the lord gives me 5,000 cavalry, I will immediately rush out and kill it, and I will not come back if I don't defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!" Zhao Yun said loudly, he was almost begging to fight to the death.
"Hey!" Cao Ying shook his head and sighed, he had no choice but to take out Guo Jia's letter again. In fact, Cao Ying has always been very good at being a person, and he knew that Zhao Yun would oppose this kind of thing and didn't want to destroy the brotherhood between Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, so he never took out Guo Jia's letter, thinking that it would not be too late to wait for Zhao Yun to be persuaded to take it out.
didn't expect that Zhao Yun would be stubborn to such an extent, and Cao Ying, in order not to affect the big thing, could only move Guo Jia out to appease Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed, "Big brother?!" This...... Hey......"
In the end, Zhao Yun didn't say anything more, so he could only leave with his anger
Since almost all of Cao Ying's army is now a descendant, even if Zhao Yun complains, the due plan can still be carried out smoothly. Soon after, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was forced to withdraw because of food and grass, entrenched in Yanzhou Jibei and other places, until this time to retreat, there was no war, and the two sides finally had the possibility of being able to sit down and talk.
From this moment on, Cao Ying and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army conducted a months-long negotiation period for recruiting and surrendering. In fact, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army proposed by Cao Ying must be tempted, these people themselves are ordinary people who are easy to satisfy, and they are not the legendary nail households, but they are a little convinced, but what Cao Ying said is true or false, and whether what he promised can be realized.
In addition, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is barely able to survive now, so they are not in a hurry for the time being. However, people like Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are troublesome, and they are from the bottom, they don't know how to manage, they have little knowledge, and they have no governance experience, even if they occupy some territory now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain normally.
After all, the blueprint that Cao Ying painted for them was indeed very tempting.
Then during this period of time, Cao Ying also gradually transferred his power from Dongjun to the hinterland of Yanzhou, and Guo Jia and others naturally moved over with their families. Cao Ying finally entered Yanzhou completely, gained a firm foothold here, and controlled the military and political power of Yanzhou.
At this time, Cao Ying's identity and status are very different from before. How many states are there in this world? As the governor of a state, even if Cao Ying is not liked by those traditional scholars, but because Cao Ying's identity can give others enough high rights and status, he has finally changed from the previous door to the current high-ranking friends, and there are more and more talents who defect to Cao Ying.
Maybe with Cao Ying's thirst for talent, talents will never feel enough, but at least at this moment, it is no longer as scarce as it was in Dongjun. For example, Guo Jia, who held several positions in the past, were taken away one by one. Of course, don't think that Guo Jia's power has become smaller, the tide is rising, and now Cao Ying has become the governor, although Guo Jia has concurrently served as several directors before, but is it comparable to being the mayor directly? !
During this period of time, the most famous and important person who took refuge in Cao Ying naturally belonged to Cheng Yu!
I have to say that this is another guy he knows Guo Jia, and Guo Jia "doesn't know" him.
Although Guo Jia doesn't know how he met such a Cheng Yu, but look at the original description in "Three Kingdoms Acting" - after Xun Yu defected to Cao Ying, and then recommended Cheng Yu to Cao Ying who didn't know which mountain knots in Yanzhou he hid in, Cheng Yu said after Cheng Yu came, "I really think so highly of me, how can I be so virtuous, if you want to talk about real talents, Xun Yu, have you forgotten Guo Jia in your village?" ”
Xun Yu slapped his thigh, "Oh, how did I forget about Fengxiao's." ”
Then, Guo Jia came to Cao Ying......
