Xu Zhen chuckled." Second Brother Guan, loyalty and courage are the most important. When we leave the camp and send out our troops, Second Brother Guan will bless us."”
"In the future, Guan Yu doesn't have to surrender. Before the expedition, all the soldiers will be filled with fighting spirit!”
"They clearly can't help laughing!!! Laughing at a monkey! He treated me as a rare and exotic object! Xu Bowen!"
Guan Yu roared in a sonorous and powerful manner. His chest heaved up and down violently. Under the extreme anger, he let out a long sigh and said,"Xu Bowen, don't do this anymore.”
"I can't accept this bow."
Cao Cao tactically leaned back in respect. He secretly sized up Xu Zhen and could not help but laugh in his heart.
However, he still couldn't hold it in.
"Yunzhang, pfft…"
"What are you laughing at? Thief Cao!"
"No, Aiya, Yunzhang…I just remembered something happy.”
" What's there to be happy about?" Guan Yu turned his face away. His face was even redder. In addition, he was wearing a dark green hat, which made him look even redder.
"Yes, my wife is giving birth…"
"Puff!"
Xu Zhen laughed.
Good reason.
"You're clearly laughing at me!"
Guan Yu gritted his teeth, his cheeks almost popping out.
"It's good that Chief Yun is living well here. Let me ask, are you willing to be my subordinate and be my general?”
"Dream on."
Guan Yu closed his eyes. He felt humiliated and didn't want to say anything more.
" Hehe." Cao Cao licked his lips, not knowing how to continue. He looked at Xu Zhen.
"Bowen, have you ever called him to surrender?”
Xu Zhen shook his head." He's a tough guy. He wanted to die many times, but he didn't get any news of Liu Bei. He just didn't die."”
"Hmph, if I know about my big brother, I will follow him no matter what. If my big brother goes to hell, I will naturally go there to meet him.”
Cao Cao sighed in his heart," Liu Bei, what good fortune…"
"Looks like you really weren't just saying that.”
Cao Cao looked at him and said to Xu Zhen,""Then, then I'll leave it to you to watch over. Guan Yunzhang, at that time, he was extremely brave. It would be a pity if he couldn't be used by me.”
Guan Yu snorted coldly and did not comment.
Xu Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile.
It wasn't impossible.
"Not necessarily. If my lord wants him to surrender, I have something to say that you might consider.”
Guan Yu frowned." What do you want to do now? Xu Bowen, your scheme is far-reaching, but don't use it on me.”
Please don't do things like asking people to come to my place to offer incense and worship. It's too terrifying.
Don't I care about my face?
Cao Mengde was pleasantly surprised. Since he dared to say it in front of him, it wasn't that he didn't have a choice. Perhaps he could really get this person to submit to him.
"Tell me."
Xu Zhen bowed and cupped his hands." Guan Yu can surrender to Han but not Cao. In this way, he doesn't betray his elder brother, nor does he betray this alliance."”
"Secondly, we can give Guan Yu a small army to train at any time.”
"Third, if we find Liu Bei, we can let him go.”
Cao Cao frowned and said bitterly,""Hehehe…If I can find Liu Bei and let him go, then what use do I have for him?”
Guan Yu had already begun to ponder.
Now, I can't move an inch in this camp. I'm being watched by Bowen, so I can't leave.
Us three brothers owe Bowen a lot, and although I have no guilt in my heart, I really looked down on him.
Moreover, when big brother pushed the blame onto Xu Zhen, I didn't stop him.
This is an unjust act, and I have been unjust to him before.
If he agrees to all three conditions, I can also agree to him.
It wouldn't be too late to leave after returning Bowen's favor and finding Big Brother's whereabouts.
If they met again in the future, he would not hesitate to kill them.
There is no need to worry about this debt of gratitude.
It was also a good thing.
" That's right, Prime Minister Cao. If you agree to these three conditions, I can surrender and help you kill the enemy. At the same time, Xu Bowen…" Guan Yu called out to Xu Zhen.
She turned her head and smiled at him." I have returned your favor. It has nothing to do with me in the future. Don't mention it again when you looked down on me and were arrogant.”
"Alright, I won't mention it to you."
Cao Cao was surprised.
He felt that he was able to take Guan Yu in because of Xu Zhen.
As for Xu Zhen, he didn't seem to mind Guan Yu joining my tent. In fact, he had already expected me to recruit him like this.
"These three conditions…"
Cao Cao pondered for a long time.
Guan Yu had been waiting arrogantly. Although his expression was arrogant, he was not anxious.
Cao Cao finally nodded," Alright, I agree. If you can find Liu Bei, I will let you go."”
"Come on, I have Guan Yu. He is better than 100,000 soldiers.”
Cao Cao clasped his hands behind his back and puffed out his chest.
Although Dian Wei and Xu Chu were brave, they lacked Guan Yu's strategy.
Although Guan Yu was arrogant, he was indeed a great general.
"Alright, I'll be leaving then." Xu Zhen smiled.”
After saying this, he smiled at Cao Cao and left the tent.
At this moment, in the darkness not far away from the tent, Guo Jia was looking into the distance.
Then, he clenched his fists.
"Damn it…"
During the day, he had made a bet with Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen had said that Cao Cao would definitely come to surrender Guan Yu.
But Guo Jia said he wouldn't.
The two of them bet a hundred gold.
Now, the money that Guo Jia had saved up with great difficulty had been emptied. In the future, he would have to borrow from the Lord to buy wine.
"Impressive…to actually understand the Prime Minister's thoughts to such an extent, truly impressive.”
At this moment, Guo Jia only had admiration in his heart.
However, Cao Cao was different. His heart skipped a beat before he immediately made a decision with Guan Yu.
After Guan Yu agreed, he would come tomorrow to confer him an official position, receive the seal, and then be promoted again.
Then, he hurriedly turned around and ran to catch up with Xu Zhen." Bowen, is Bowen angry?”
" I didn't." Xu Zhen blinked.
"Really?"
" I really didn't…" Xu Zhen forced a smile, then cupped his hands and bowed, preparing to go to the main tent.
However, Cao Cao pulled her back." Aiya, look at you…You're definitely angry. You didn't talk to me like this before."”
"Why are you suddenly so respectful?"
Xu Zhen's expression froze.
This was ridiculous.
"I'm not angry."
"No, you're definitely angry. Bo Wen, don't worry. I have Guan Yu, and I need Bo Wen. Both of you will be my left and right arms.”
"Haha."
Xu Zhen smiled." Thank you, my lord."”
With that, he turned around and left.
This time, Cao Cao did not stop him. Instead, he curled his lips and smiled.
She was angry.
Aiya, she was definitely angry.
……
When Xu Zhen returned to the tent, Guo Jia also followed him in. As soon as he entered, he hurriedly asked someone to bring over a hundred gold. Xu Zhen waved his hand and smiled."Go buy a bar, buy it for us to drink.”
"Oh?"
Guo Jia was pleasantly surprised. He was a wine lover, and he usually saved up money and didn't want to drink it. Today, he had lost his money, but the Lord was actually so generous.
"May I ask why the Lord released Guan Yu to the Prime Minister? If this person made a contribution, wasn't he afraid that he would surpass Zilong, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu in the future?”
" There are two reasons," Xu Zhen said softly as he tidied up his clothes,""Guan Yu and I are old friends, and he was right about one thing. Although he looked down on me in the past, he had never bullied me. If he was Zhang Yide, I would have killed him long ago.”
"Secondly, the lord actually likes Guan Yu very much. If I kill him without asking him, it will be inevitable that he will hold a grudge.”
"Third-"
"Aren't there only two reasons?"
Guo Jia asked doubtfully, but immediately understood. He was stubborn.
"It's fine. Lord, please continue."
Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him and continued,""Guan Yu is still of great use. This person has followed Liu Bei for his entire life, but he doesn't know what kind of ruler he is following.”
Three Ding levy five, take parents.
How could you call such a person benevolent?
Yes, he was quite benevolent when he first started his business. However, after entering Sichuan, he began to play music and dance after hearing the words 'King of Hanzhong.'
He even levied a tax of 460 yuan and a tax of 300 yuan.
To the commoners, this was even more terrifying than Dong Zhuo's rule. The taxes and the population were all taken away and used for war, completely ignoring the lives of the people.
Therefore, when this person wasn't pretending, he could really see the saying," Time reveals the heart."
"Sigh, if that's the case, it might not be a bad thing for Cao Camp to have another fierce general. We can have another person to kill on Guandu.”
"There are quite a lot now, but it's fine.”
Xu Zhen stretched and leaned back on the low chair in the camp. He spread his hands, his palms facing the sky.
Looking at the dome of the tent, Xu Zhen felt a slight change in his heart. In Guandu, he didn't just want victory, he also wanted fame.
He wanted the support of the scholars to make some plans for the future.
Otherwise, his fate would be similar to Xun Yu's. Also, how should the Sima Clan be dealt with? They had to make preparations in advance.
……
It was snowing heavily this winter.
The battles at the front line continued to accumulate, and the strategists at the rear also sent out several teams to negotiate with the surrounding dukes.
Not only Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao's men were also moving around frantically. The two of them knew that roping in the nearby dukes would be their main task for the next year.
If he could get a promise or two, he would have a higher chance of winning when the battle began.
Thus, although the battle had not yet begun, undercurrents were already surging, and the various dukes were also preparing to attack.
They were looking forward to this battle of vassals from the north. Whoever won would occupy the entire north and thus possess the qualifications to truly dominate the world.
In fact, they knew that whoever won would become the number one hero in the world and control the world.
Holding a cow's ear.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao was treading on thin ice every day, hoping to hear good news.
And after he got Guan Yu, he knew that Guan Yu would often send out small schools to inquire about Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei had not shown himself in the past year.
As time passed, he got used to it.
At this moment, Cao Cao was eating. On the table was venison.
"Yes, this meat is very good!"
"How did you do it?"
The servant boy in front of him hurriedly bowed." The chefs used thirteen kinds of spices and used the newborn venison as the main ingredient. It was cooked for a long time.”
"Good, good. How can I enjoy such a precious ingredient alone? Go, send it to Chief Yun.”
"Here."
"Oh! Wait!"
Cao Cao stopped the servant who was about to turn around and leave. Then, he pointed at the wine on the table and smiled,"How can a person eat meat without wine? Send this jug of wine to him as well. Take the furnace fire with you. Don't let it get cold on the way.”
"Here!"
"Is there any more venison?"
"Yes, there are still some in the kitchen."
The servant was called several times, and cold sweat was almost coming out of his body.
If any of these actions were to be impolite, he might be punished.
"Quick, quick, quick, tell the cook to immediately make another one and send it to Bowen.”
"Here!"
The manservant jogged out. On the way, he passed by many civil and military officials, as well as patrolling guards. He shouted,"Prime Minister Cao rewarded General Guan with venison.!!”
"Prime Minister Cao is rewarding General Guan with good wine.”
Even though he was jogging, his voice echoed across the vast square.
At this moment, many generals had returned from outside and happened to hear this sentence.
Li Dian, Cai Yang, Yu Jin, and the others were all indignant.
"This person hasn't made any contributions. He's been conferred an official position and a title. We're not even comparable to a surrendered general.”
"That's right, we've never seen the Prime Minister treat our own people like this.”
"In the past, I only thought that Lord Bowen had such favor. Now it seems that even Lord Bowen is inferior to a surrendered general like him. This Guan Yu is arrogant to the bone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another servant ran out of the hall. His footsteps were even faster, and there were even a few cooks following behind him." The Prime Minister has rewarded Marquis Xu with freshly cooked venison. Don't block the way!"!!”
The generals were stunned and their mouths twitched.
After a long time, Yu Jin said sourly,""The Lord is still the best. Although he is also favored, he has outstanding battle achievements, unlike Guan Yu, who only has an empty reputation.”
"This means that our lord still likes generals more.”
"I'm afraid this Guan Yu isn't a person with an undeserved reputation. Back then, he killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, and his name shook the world.”
" Hehe." A burly man with a full beard sneered. This man was Cai Yang, Xiahou Dun's subordinate. He was currently marching in Xu City.
"Hwa Xiong is nothing. It's just that I wasn't there at that time. Otherwise, who wouldn't be able to kill him?! A mere thief general, could he boast for the rest of his life after killing him?”
At this moment.
Suddenly, wind and thunder erupted.
A light screen suddenly appeared in the sky and descended from above.
Countless people were shocked.
Cao Cao even ran out of the hall barefooted.
He looked up at the sky.
At this moment, countless people in Xuchang were looking up at the sky.
This time, there was no golden dragon or silver dragon.
However, the illusory lotus flower continued to revolve, and the surrounding space rippled like water.
Cao Cao was shocked.
"Oh? Could this be a new ranking?"
Many years ago, when the Heaven Ranking of Counselors appeared, it was the same.
Sure enough, just as he was thinking about this, another huge scroll flew out from the sky, covering the sky and the sun. He rolled it up and slowly pulled it down, just right beside the Advisor Board.
"The Brave General Heavenly Ranking has descended!"
