Chapter 788: Tao Qiuhong, a Celebrity in the Plains
Chapter 788: Tao Qiuhong, a famous scholar from the plains
Sun Guan was looking at an order and two surrender letters in his hand, feeling very depressed. Cao Cao sent a surrender letter to the four bandits, stating that Sun Guan would be the prime minister of Lu, Yin Li would be the prefect of Rencheng, and Wu Dun and Chang Xi would be the principals.
Lieutenant, of course, this is only if they are willing to surrender, and the additional condition is to rely on Xiaoguan to stop Zuo Aoran.
But that order was given by Lu Bu. Lu Bu ordered the four men to defend the pass. Soon there would be Tibetan overlords. Chen Gong led his army to come to the rescue. Zuo Aoran sent a letter of persuasion to surrender. There was nothing in the book.
He has other intentions, that is, if he is willing to surrender, he will be treated kindly.
Looking at these two letters of persuasion to surrender and an order, the four of them were silent. Chang Xi was always brave, so when everyone was silent, he said: "Brothers, I think it is better to surrender. We always
Running around like this is not an option. Besides, Zuo Aoran is so powerful, and he is the Grand Marshal-General of Hussars-Bingzhou Mu represented by the imperial court. We can be considered to have a good background, and our brothers will not have to wander around.
I’m hungry and full.”
"It would be better to vote for Cao Cao than to vote for Zuo Aoran. In the state of Lu, Rencheng belongs to Yanzhou. Yanzhou is not far from our Mount Tai. If things don't go well for us, we can return to Mount Tai and continue to gather in the mountains and forests. Besides, relying on this pass, we will definitely be able to
Stop Zuo Aoran." Wu Dun said.
Sun Guan heard the words and sighed slightly: "Having said that, don't you know? At this time, Lu Bu is fighting with Cao Cao, and he has also sent Zang Ba to lead an army to assist us in Xiaoguan. If we lead the troops to surrender, it will just touch Lu Bu's brow.
, Lu Bu will definitely lead his army to attack, even if Lu Bu can't come in person, do you think we are Chen Gong and Zang Ba's opponents?"
Wu Dun frowned and said, "We have 50,000 soldiers. We may not lose to Zang Ba in a fight!"
Yin Li smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not looking down on myself. We people are really no match for them. What about our soldiers, their families, the old and the weak? Who can stop Lu Bu's halberd and red rabbit horse?"
What's more, his trusted general Gao Shun is leading the trap in Peicheng!"
When it came to the trap camp, everyone present was silent. Everyone knew that no matter whether it was a field battle or an siege, they could not stop the trap camp under the command of Gao Shun. This was a world-famous army, but at this time
But because of Gao Shun's loyalty, he only served Lu Bu.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Guan sighed inwardly: "Although I and others dare not say that they are unparalleled in bravery, they are still brave in fighting. Otherwise, they would not have survived from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present. They are just wandering around. After our own army passed by,
It is indeed broken everywhere, there is really nothing we can do! As a bandit, he is suppressed everywhere and cannot stand anywhere. Now there is a good opportunity in front of him, but this opportunity is to use the blood of his brothers.
Change the land!" Sun Wang looked at the longing eyes of Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi, gritted his teeth, and was about to ruthlessly agree.
"Brother! Big brother!" Suddenly, someone called "Big Brother" and ran into the hall. When everyone looked, it was Sun Guan's younger brother Sun Kang. Seeing that everyone was there, Sun Kang hurriedly greeted him. Chang Xi said impatiently: "I said brother!
If you have something to say, just say it, why are you so babbling?"
When Sun Kang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brothers, I found out that Zuo Aoran has led his army to set up camp ten miles outside Xiaoguan, and Zangba is less than five miles away from the city!"
"What?!" When the four of them heard this, they all stood up and looked at each other. When Sun Kang saw that everyone was silent, he asked, "Brothers, what should we do?"
Chang Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, make a decision quickly!"
Yin Li frowned, and then said: "Brother! Why don't we take the opportunity to kill Zang Ba and seek refuge with Zuo Aoran?!"
"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they thought that they had just started a war with Zuo Aoran, and now they want to surrender to Zuo Aoran. The change was too fast, and Zang Ba was not that easy to catch! What's more, there was that one
Where is Chen Gong who has many plans?!
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Yin Li immediately said: "Zuo Aoran has always treated people with kindness and righteousness, no less than today's Uncle Liu Huang. I have heard about the courtesy for a long time. When we go to seek refuge, Marshal Zuo will definitely treat us with courtesy. Maybe we can get a governor or something."
Where is the land?”
When everyone heard this, they felt polite, but Sun Kang was worried: "But Zuo Aoran's attack is where he got his reputation from wiping out the rebellious Lu Bu in Xuzhou. If we are on the same page, wouldn't it be a sheep in a tiger's mouth? What's more, he can tolerate it.
Us?"
"Yes! Brother! Don't forget, we are still wearing the skin of thieves?! If Lu Bu and Zang Ba had not had an old relationship, how could he unite us?" Wu Dun said.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Sun Guan thought about it for a while and then said: "I think it would be better to surrender to Cao Cao!"
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Sun Guan with doubts.
Sun Guan saw that everyone was looking at him, he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said: "Don't forget, everyone, Cao Cao once issued an order to recruit talents, which said that only talents should be selected.
That’s fine. Virtue doesn’t matter. We went to seek refuge with Cao Cao because of Cao Cao’s reputation of recruiting talented people. In this way, we are on the same page and there will be no danger!”
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Suddenly Sun Kang asked: "Now that the Zangba and Zuo Aoran are here, if we surrender to Cao Cao, we will definitely hurt both families at once. If the two families come to attack us together, what can we do?"
Sun Guan laughed, looked at his younger brother and said, "We can secretly send someone to send a letter to Cao Cao, saying that if we are willing to surrender, we will help Duke Ming stop Zuo Aoran. When we turn around, we will welcome Zang Ba into the city.
Let's guard the pass together to stop Zuo Aoran's army. If the pass is broken, we can escape if we can. If we can't escape, we will show our identity and surrender to Prime Minister Cao. In the end, even if Cao Cao is defeated, we can surrender to Zuo Aoran. In this way,
We will take full advantage of it!" Sun Kang was silent, everyone had decided on the plan, so he arranged to go in to welcome Zang Ba to stop Zuo Aoran, and sent someone to secretly send a surrender to Cao Cao.
Inside the main tent of the Zuo Family Army.
Zuo Aoran sat upright in the middle of the tent, looked around at everyone and said: "Cao Cao promised to provide us with food and grass. I asked brothers He Yi and He Man to accompany Yuan Long to ask for it, and escorted them to the camp together. I think it will be in these few days."
It will arrive within a few days. General Guan Cheng will do a good job of receiving it, and Hu Cheer will lead his troops to respond to avoid unexpected situations."
"Yes!" Hu Che'er and Guan Cheng said at the same time.
"Hangu in the east, Xiaowu in the south, Sanguan in the west, and Xiaoguan in the north. It can be seen that Xiaoguan is also a pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack! I wonder if you guys have any strategies to break the pass?" Zuo Aoran asked.
"The old "Huanxian Chronicle" records: The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty in the Warring States Period ran from west to east, across the Huanjiang River, and crossed the old Xiaoguan Road. Fortresses were built along the river, and walls and gates were built. Xiaoguan, which was built at this intersection, was built on the Great Wall.
The pass built is also one of the earliest passes in the history of the Great Wall. Its strategic location is extremely important and it is absolutely easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Wen Pin said.
"Didn't Ninth Brother send them a surrender order a few days ago? I'm sorry that they don't dare to go against Ninth Brother's mighty heavenly army. They will definitely surrender early! If they dare not to surrender, I will give them my best shot.
One, let them go see the King of Hell!" Liu Hu stood up and said.
