In the psychological game of negotiation, the patient had the advantage!
Now, persuading Gao Shun to surrender was also a form of negotiation.
Whoever spoke first would lose.
Zhao Ming, who had the advantage, decided to pursue.
At this moment, Zhao Ming's 100 points of Charm started to affect him quietly. However, Zhao Ming and Gao Shun were unaware of this.
"General Gao, we are all sensible people. We won't follow the usual routine.”
"I heard that you and Lu Bu grew up together.”
"It's understandable that you're unwilling to surrender to my lord.”
"But, have you ever thought about it?"
"If you continue to act willfully, what will happen?”
Zhao Ming said calmly and carefully observed the minute changes in Gao Shun's expression and his every move.
Sure enough, when he mentioned "childhood friend," Gao Shun's expression changed slightly.
In the next moment, Zhao Ming understood how to convince Gao Shun.
Gao Shun had not expected that this mysterious military advisor would actually guess his relationship with Lu Bu. In his shock, he quickly covered it up.
However, none of this could escape Zhao Ming's sharp eyes.
"It won't be long, or rather, tonight!”
"Tiger Cage Pass will definitely be broken!"
"And your childhood friend Lu Bu, Marquis Lu Du, will also be captured alive by me!”
"But Lu Bu is arrogant and unruly. I will not let him live!”
"Therefore, his only ending is death!”
"Gao Shun, I will ask you now. Do you want Lu Bu to die or continue living?”
Zhao Ming's words were like a sharp knife that pierced into Gao Shun's heart.
Gao Shun's expression changed drastically, and he immediately opened his mouth to retort.
"Impossible!"
"There are 140,000 troops in front of Tiger Cage Pass and 8,000 guards inside!”
"General Zhao, I admit that you are very strong.”
"However, if you want to break through the 140,000-strong army and then break through Tiger Cage Pass, it's no different from a fool's dream!”
After hearing Gao Shun's words, Zhao Ming laughed out loud. He then took out a small piece of paper and handed it to Gao Shun.
This note was the one Cao Ren had sent to delay the attack on Tiger Cage Pass.
Gao Shun had just finished reading when his expression instantly changed."You already have people going around Tiger Cage Pass? Did they not know that this was a dead end?”
"Whether it's a dead end or not, it's not up to you.”
"I have the final say!"
"Tonight, if I lead another 500 soldiers to attack Tiger Cage Pass head-on, with the support of Cao Cao's army behind Tiger Cage Pass.”
"Do you think Wei Xu, this idiot, can defend Tiger Cage Pass?”
"Once Tiger Cage Pass falls!"
"The 140,000 soldiers under Lu Bu's command have been trapped!”
"If I attack again, do you think Lu Bu will be able to leave Tiger Cage Pass alive?”
Every word that Zhao Ming said was as heavy as a thousand pounds, directly suppressing Gao Shun until he almost could not breathe.
If it was someone else who said these words, Gao Shun would definitely scoff.
However, the person who said this was the freak who had heavily injured Lu Bu with two hammers. Once Tiger Cage Pass changed hands, if he insisted on killing Lu Bu, Lu Bu would definitely be doomed!
Or perhaps, even if Tiger Cage Pass was not breached, this freak would deliberately target Lu Bu in the future and only kill Lu Bu among the army!
Unless Lu Bu was a coward, would he be able to escape this calamity?
Would Lu Bu be a coward?
Thinking of this, Gao Shun felt a torment in his heart.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists. He had used too much strength, and his joints had turned white.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Ming knew that Gao Shun's heart was experiencing an extremely tragic torture, so he didn't say anything more. He quietly sat at the side, picked up his wine cup, and lightly drank.
He pondered for a very long time.
Gao Shun suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and said in a hoarse voice,""If I surrender, can you let Fengxian go?”
The big fish had finally taken the bait!
However, Zhao Ming still had a calm expression on his face as he handed Gao Shun a glass of wine.
"I can promise you!"
"I, Zhao Ming, will never attack Lu Bu again!”
Gao Shun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
If Advisor Zhao did not attack Lu Bu, then with Lu Bu's strength, even if Tiger Cage Pass was breached, his life would not be in danger.
It could be said that there was no guarantee more convincing than this!
"Good!"
"I, Gao Shun, am willing to surrender!"
After saying that, Gao Shun took the wine cup from Zhao Ming's hand and downed it in one gulp.
At this moment.
A loud voice immediately came from the door.
"Haha!"
"Today, I, Cao Mengde, have gained Gao Shun, like a tiger with another wing!”
Cao Cao, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, finally couldn't help but show his face. He walked in from the entrance of the tent with a big smile and threw an approving look at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming smiled and said nothing.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Seeing this, Gao Shun no longer acted pretentiously and turned around to salute Cao Cao, expressing his loyalty.
Cao Cao nodded and waved his hand.
"Men, set up a banquet!"
"I, Cao Mengde, want to drink with General Gao Shun!”
After that, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and the others also sat down and drank to their hearts 'content.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark again.
The half-drunk Cao Cao brought Zhao Ming and Gao Shun to bid farewell to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who were about to attack Tiger Cage Pass at night.
"Zilong, Dian Wei!"
"Be careful!"
Underline…
