Chapter 255: Yuan Shao's help
ps: Thank you for a monthly ticket voted by the helpless instant noodle brothers, now upload a chapter first, and there is another chapter at night around eleven o'clock!
"Hmph, if it weren't for Xu You and Guo Tu, two ungrateful and shameless villains, who betrayed me, it would be up to you Cao Cao, after a eunuch, Hugh would want to defeat me!" Yuan Shao, whose arms were tied behind his back, yelled at Cao Cao, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.
But Yuan Shao was resentful, and the Cao soldier was even more angry, Cao Ren stepped forward on the spot, and with a sonorous sound, he pulled out his sword and put it almost far from Yuan Shao's forehead, and shouted: "Bold, you dare to insult your lord, believe it or not, I will kill you with a sword!" ”
"Hmph, you are just a lackey under Cao Cao, how can I die at your hands after Yuan Shao's famous family!"
Looking at Yuan Shao, who stood up strongly, held his head high, and looked disdainful, not to mention Cao Ren, even Cao Cao was a little angry in his heart, damn, you must know that you Yuan Shao is now a prisoner, not a winner.
Although he scolded in his heart, Cao Cao still stepped forward to stop Cao Ren, not because of Cao Cao's Holy Mother seizure or anything, but because he was very puzzled, that is, no matter how Yuan Shao looked at it, it was like begging for death.
That's right, it is to seek death, in the eyes of others, Yuan Shao is ignorant of current affairs, but Cao Cao knows very well in his heart that although Yuan Shao is sometimes indecisive, but he does not know current affairs, it is obviously impossible, then, Yuan Shao's behavior just now is interesting.
"Yuan Shao, you're begging for death."
Cao Cao's inexplicable words made everyone present stunned for a moment, especially Yuan Shao, the expression on his face seemed to be stunned, and finally he seemed to be smiling instead of laughing, crying instead of crying, and said a little decadently: "Yes, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, I didn't expect it to be so long." I still can't fool you. ”
Yuan Shao's words can be described as shocking, and everyone present except Cao Cao has a feeling of unreality. The dignified northern overlord is actually begging for death, this, this is simply a big joke in the world.
"Why?"
Cao Cao is really curious this time, Yuan Shao above history. In the early stage, he was born in a famous family, his demeanor was majestic, and he was smooth sailing, although he was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, but on the surface, he was still able to listen to others' construction, which can be described as the appearance of a generation of masters, and in the later period, although he was indecisive. As a result, the battle of Guandu was defeated, and he finally died of illness on the bed, but no matter what, Yuan Shao did not beg for death.
Therefore, Cao Cao was very curious, what happened to Yuan Shao and gave Yuan Shao the courage to die, is it because he did not have a smooth unification of the north this time or other reasons?
"Why, because I don't have the face to live, Wuhuan is in the customs. As a result, tens of thousands of people in Youzhou died tragically, I, Yuan Shao, am sorry for the ancestors of the Yuan family, and sorry for the people of Liming. What kind of face do I have to continue to survive? ”
Looking at Yuan Shao's remorseful and grief-stricken expression, Cao Cao was silent, and Cao Cao did not fully believe Yuan Shao's words in his heart, but he did not completely disbelieve it.
Maybe Yuan Shao really regretted it at this time. regretted that he had contacted Wuhuan people to enter the customs, perhaps Yuan Shao wanted to use this to make Cao Cao soft-hearted so that he could achieve some goals.
"The matter has come to this, what's the use of regretting, you actually let Wuhuan enter the customs in the first place, then you should think of the day when there will be a tragedy in Youzhou."
Cao Cao's words fell, and after Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and said like crazy: "Yes, the matter has come to this, what else can I do, Cao Cao, today, I finally understand, I Yuan Shao lost to you is not wronged, I can let all the soldiers and horses and generals in the four states surrender like you, and let you take over the four states smoothly, I only have one request, that is, let my three children go, they are still young, they should not die so early because of me, Cao Cao, Wei Gong, this is the first time I Yuan Shao begged you!" ”
Looking at the first time kneeling down to his knees, the face that was once full of vigor was full of pleading and pleading at this time, Cao Cao closed his eyes, and in his mind, what he had done with Yuan Shao when he was a teenager would echo in his mind this time.
Once a friend, but because of the change in the shape of the world, and finally meet each other, until you die, this is a joke of fate, but it is also the inevitability of history.
Cao Cao, who opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Shao, who was looking at him with a look of hope, and after a long time, he said: "Yes, Gu can let go of your three sons, but from now on, they can't leave Chen Du half a step, and at the same time, they can't enter the official career." ”
Cao Cao's requests, not only did not Yuan Shao be angry, but made him breathe a sigh of relief, because he knew very well that the more Cao Cao was like this, the greater the probability that the three children under his command would survive in the future.
"Thank you, Duke Wei, just let me, a former friend, help you, at the Youzhou guard, there is a letter from me, which is an envelope inviting Wuhuan to enter the customs to attack you, and where did the Wuhuan people enter the customs from, if you lead the army to Youzhou, then use it."
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao deeply, nodded and said, "You accepted this gift, come on, take him down." ”
"Your Majesty, I used to think that Yuan Shao was a stupid person, but I didn't expect that the minister would also be wrong." Sima Yi, who was beside Cao Cao, looked at Yuan Shao, who was taken down, and said with surprise.
"Yuan Shao, when he is wise, it is terrifying, and similarly, when he is incompetent, it is also surprising."
The conversation between Cao Cao and Sima Yi made the Cao army generals on the side sound foggy, but the Cao army strategists heard it very clearly.
Yuan Shao's series of actions, at first glance, seem very strange and incredible, but in fact, it is very normal, one point, even Yuan Shao's civil and military forces can see that Yuan Shao is at the end of his rope, so as the overlord of the north, Yuan Shao will not be able to see it, it is obviously impossible.
Yuan Shao knew very early on that this big defeat, which had lost 300,000 troops, and that it was impossible for him and the entire four northern states to stop Cao Cao, as for Wu Huan, for these barbarians, not to mention their combat effectiveness, first of all, they would not be able to catch up with time.
It is precisely from this that there was a later public order by Yuan Shao to invite Wuhuan to enter the customs, which was sitting in Xu You's view, just as Cao Cao said, if Yuan Shao is not indecisive, his wisdom is very terrifying, Xu You or the wavering heart of Wen Wu has already been seen by Yuan Shao, the reason why Xu You was selected, not to mention, is because he is the most shaken among them, and it is also the most suitable, after all, Xu You Ke is also Cao Cao's old acquaintance.
