Chapter 239 Cheng Yu

At this time, Zhao Yun might also think that Cao Cao was ungrateful. In fact, it was not possible for Cao Cao to forget, and even more than anyone else would have forgotten Bao Xin who saved his life. However, Cao Cao was a hero, so he could tolerate such things that others could not bear. You should know that in history, Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled against Cao Cao and attacked Cao Cao, which directly killed Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Anmin, nephew Cao Anmin, and powerful general Dian Wei. In the end, Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender?!

Speaking of which, it is precisely because of Cao Cao's courage that after doing such a thing, Zhang Xiu would dare to surrender to Cao Cao again. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu was a fool? Surrender to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to avenge him and die?

"Zilong, war is not a joke. Can you kill all the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army? Kill the more than one million old, weak, women and children behind them? I am more sad than you in Bao Xin's death, but how can there be no one who will die in the war? If you think like you, how could there be a surrender? How many people can be left in this world now?" Cao Cao said to Zhao Yun.

"Lord, I know this principle, but it is different from our voluntary surrender to us and we voluntarily surrender them!" Zhao Yun said seriously. This is not only a benefit, but also a matter of dignity and sovereignty. For example, for many ancient people, reputation is more important than life. This is a matter of high integrity, and interests should not be the priority of everything!

Now that Bao Xin was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao did not want to take revenge, but instead wanted to surrender the other party. Although this was to make the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army surrender to him, it seemed that Cao Cao had surrendered. He hurriedly went to recruit people like this, as if Cao Cao was the surrender party!

Therefore, if Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou without any resistance and forced them to voluntarily request surrender, and Cao Cao would accept the other party's surrender again, then Zhao Yun would have no objection at all, and he would have avenged his grudge. He could have a clear conscience! But now? The benefits are there, but what is love and friendship? What is face? What is dignity? What is integrity? (Hey)

Why does this world cause harm to others and not benefit oneself? It’s not to be able to straighten your backbone. For the breath in your heart! Think about it, if your relatives are beaten to death by others, should you fight for your life, not fear power, not money, and be determined to pay for your life? Or do you think that people are dead anyway, and you can’t survive. The other party is a powerful person, and they can’t fight at all, so you accept the private settlement and get some money, so you can live a safe and good life from now on?

This kind of thing was already very annoying, so why do you take the initiative to ask for money and go private?!

Therefore, the current behavior of Cao Cao's pursuit of extreme interests is that the loss of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is the future loss of Cao Cao himself, and Zhao Yun will definitely not accept it when he is doing ungrateful things!

"My lord just give me five thousand cavalry, I will immediately rush out. If I don't kill the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, I will definitely not come back!" Zhao Yun said loudly, asking for a death battle.

"Oh!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed. There was no way, so he could only take out Guo Jia's letters again. In fact, Cao Cao has always been very good at being a human being. He knew that Zhao Yun would object to this kind of thing before, but he did not want to destroy the brotherly relationship between Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, so he never took out Guo Jia's letters, thinking that it would not be too late to take them out after Zhao Yun was persuaded.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was so stubborn that in order not to affect major events, Cao Cao could only bring Guo Jia out to appease Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took the bamboo slips into his hand and looked at them, his face suddenly changed.

"Brother, hey...hey..."

In the end, Zhao Yun stopped talking and could only leave with anger.

......

Since Cao Cao's army is almost all direct, even if Zhao Yun complains, the plan he should be implemented smoothly. Soon after, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was forced to retreat due to food and grass, and was entrenched in Jibei, Yanzhou. It was not until this time that the troops were withdrawn. There was no war, and the two sides finally had the possibility of sitting down to talk.

From this moment on, Cao Cao and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army held a period of several months of surrender negotiations. In fact, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army proposed the surrender plan was definitely tempted. These people are ordinary people who are easily satisfied, not the legendary nail households, but they just believe whether what Cao Cao said is true or false, and whether what he promised can be realized.

In addition, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can barely live a life now, so they are not in a hurry for the time being. However, like the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, they are troublesome, and have a low-level background, do not know management, have no knowledge, and have no governance experience. Even if they occupy some territory now, it is probably difficult to maintain them normally. When winter is about to begin again, there will be shortage of food and food, and the contradictions will intensify. At that time, a large number of voices within the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will choose to surrender to Cao Cao.

After all, the blueprint Cao Cao painted for them was indeed very attractive.

Then during this period, Cao Cao gradually moved his power from Dongjun to the hinterland of Yanzhou, and Guo Jia and others naturally moved with their families. Cao Cao finally completely took over Yanzhou, gained a firm foothold here, and controlled the military and political power of Yanzhou.

At this time, Cao Cao's identity and status were very different from before. How many states are there in the world? As the head of a state, even if Cao Cao was not loved by traditional scholars, because Cao Cao's identity can give others high enough power and status, he finally went from being apart from the past to being full of guests now, and there were more and more talents who defected to Cao Cao.

Perhaps with Cao Cao's desire for talent, he would never feel that he could have enough talent, but at least at this moment, he is no longer as in the shortage as he was in Dongjun. For example, Guo Jia, several positions he had served in the past were taken away one by one. Of course, don't think that Guo Jia's power has become smaller and the water has increased. Now Cao Cao has become the governor. Although Guo Jia had served as several directors before, can he be compared to being the mayor now?!

During this period, the most famous and important person who defected to Cao Cao was naturally Cheng Yu!

I have to say that this is another guy he knows Guo Jia, but Guo Jia "doesn't know" him.

Although Guo Jia didn't know how he met Cheng Yu, look at the original description in "The Three Kingdoms Acting" -

After Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao, he recommended Cheng Yu, who was hidden in a mountain in Yanzhou, to Cao Cao. After Cheng Yu came, he said,

"I really respect me so much. What kind of virtue can I do? If you want to say real talents, Xun Yu, have you forgotten Guo Jia from your village?"

Xun Yu slapped his thigh,

"Oh, why did I forget Fengxiao?"

Then, Guo Jia came to Cao Cao... (Hey, are you insulting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms)

Ahem, in short, Cheng Yu was a person who had made friends before Guo Jia debuted and recognized Guo Jia's talent.

ps: Just like Cai Wenji's place, Cheng Yu doesn't write about Cheng Li now
