Chapter 274: I have grown a heart
But now it's better. Yang Huai and Gao Pei have successfully "thrown themselves into the trap". The only problem now is how to get to Baishui Pass.
And if Yang Huai and Gao Pei surrender, then Baishui Pass can be taken almost effortlessly.
In this way, not only does it eliminate worries, but it can also replenish a large number of troops. It is simply a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone.
"Hey! Look, young master, there is a strange phenomenon in the sky!"
Suddenly, Chen Dao exclaimed loudly.
"Huh? What kind of vision is it?"
Liu Chan looked at the sky with curiosity.
All I saw was a meteor streaking across the sky, emitting a dazzling light.
"It turned out to be a meteor, it's no big deal!" Liu Chan said with a smile.
In his opinion, meteors are just an ordinary astronomical sight, not a "phenomenon".
However, Chen Dao and Wei Yan have different perceptions. They both firmly believe that the stars in the sky represent thousands of living things on the earth.
If a meteor falls, it means that a big man on earth will soon leave, or there will be great changes in the world.
It's just that although they believe it deeply, they don't have the ability to predict it.
…
Under the same sky in Jiangdong, a person also saw this meteor, but he made a prediction about it.
"At the age of Jiawu, Liu Bei should be the leader of Yizhou!"
After the man wrote his prediction on paper, he sent it to Sun Quan who was far away in Ruxukou.
…
Chen Dao smiled and said: "Young master, you don't know something. This is not a simple celestial phenomenon. Maybe it has something to do with us!"
"Oh? Really? Does General Chen still know the science of astrology?" Liu Chan asked with curiosity on his face.
There were many generalists in this era, and many generals were proficient in the science of divination. Even if Chen Dao was proficient in astrology, it would not be surprising.
"Ashamed, I don't know anything about horoscopes in the end, but I have seen Zhuge's military advisor predicting major events in the world based on the changes in the stars, and they are all accurate, so I have no doubts about it." Chen Dao said with a smile.
"It's a pity that Military Advisor Zhuge is not here, otherwise I could have listened to his explanation." Liu Chan said with regret.
Liu Chan still admired Zhuge Liang very much.
If someone else said he was proficient in divination, Liu Chan might still be a little skeptical, but if he said Zhuge Liang was proficient in this, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
After all, he had heard too many magical stories about Zhuge Liang since he was a child.
What "borrow the east wind!"
"Eight array diagrams!"
"The seven-star lantern continues to live!"
There is also the famous "horse class!"
Although these are all novels or legends, they are enough to show that Zhuge Liang is an all-rounder and generalist.
Moreover, Chen Dao once witnessed Zhuge Liang's magic with his own eyes.
"Yes! It would be great if Military Advisor Zhuge were here!" Chen Dao also praised.
"Isn't Military Advisor Pang as famous as Military Advisor Zhuge? Why not invite him to talk about it?" Wei Yan also made a suggestion at this time.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "That's not necessary. Since the celestial signs have indicated, it means that things have been destined. It doesn't matter whether we know or not. Besides, I heard that people who reveal the secrets of heaven will lose their lives!"
He paused for a moment and then said: "We just need to do our best and obey fate."
"Yes! What the young master is saying is that since God's will has already determined it, whether we know it or not, it will turn out that way. Since we can't change it, why do we need to know it!" Chen Dao agreed as if he had seen through it.
"In this case, let's just pretend that the general didn't say what he just said..." Wei Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
It was obviously a pity that Liu Chan said it himself, but at this time, he actually refused to listen again, which really left Wei Yan speechless.
"Okay! It's almost time for me to come out. It's time to hear whether they have made up their mind..."
After saying that, Liu Chan turned around and walked towards the camp.
When Liu Chan opened the tent, he saw Yang Huai and Gao Pei looking at him with serious faces.
"What do you think?"
Seeing that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were still sitting there, with their restraints not loosening at all, his heart immediately relaxed.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei looked at each other, but decided that Yang Huai would answer. He said seriously: "If we surrender, what guarantee can you give us?"
"Haha! It's just as I expected!" Liu Chan felt so happy when he heard Yang Huai's words.
"What guarantee do you want?" Liu Chan asked back.
At this time, he didn't know what kind of guarantee would satisfy Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
Yang Huai said seriously: "We have only two demands. As long as you can make a guarantee, we will surrender to you."
"Okay! Say it." Liu Chan looked serious, as if he was the leader of this camp.
"First, we are Liu Yizhou's subordinates. He has treated us with great kindness. I would like to ask you that even if you take Yizhou away, please spare his life so that he can live out his old age in peace."
Having said this, Yang Huai did not continue, as if waiting for Liu Chan's answer.
"Liu Yizhou and we are both royal clan members. Now, for the sake of reviving the Han Dynasty, seizing Yizhou is really a helpless move. As long as he doesn't resist to the death, we will naturally not harm his life." Liu Chan said seriously.
The promise he could make could only go so far. After all, no one could be completely sure whether Liu Zhang would have a mental problem, charge into battle with his army, and die in the chaos.
"Second, we are generals. After surrendering, we hope to lead troops to fight in order to reflect our value." Yang Huai looked serious, as if if this condition was not met, he would not agree to surrender.
As a general, if after surrendering he becomes a "waste" without soldiers and power, then he might as well not surrender.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Of course, I have already said that as long as you surrender, you will be the heroes of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. Since you are the heroes, you will naturally make contributions. But the soldiers you lead cannot guard Baishui Pass!"
In this era, it is not strange for a general to surrender.
Even Guan Yu, who was known for his loyalty, was forced by the situation to surrender to Cao Cao and helped Cao Cao kill Yan Liang.
But this does not affect Guan Yu's reputation that will be remembered throughout the ages.
As for leading troops, Baishui Pass is too sensitive now. It would be too unreliable to let Yang Huai and Gao Pei return to Baishui Pass.
Yang Huai said seriously: "There is no problem! The question now is whether you can be my father's master!"
At this time, Yang Huai had changed his address to Liu Bei and no longer called him by his first name.
Instead, he used an honorific title in front of Liu Chan.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can follow me to see my father immediately."
"Okay, then please young master, please untie the two of us." Yang Huai agreed immediately.
