Chapter 550: To kill someone, you must kill your heart
Not long after, Zhao Yun was loosened.
He hesitated... his eyes swept over everyone at all times, constantly on guard against Cao Cao's deception.
However... until Zhao Yun picked up Zhang Fei and ran down the tower, even got on his horse and took back his gun, Cao Cao never looked at him again.
Finally... Zhao Yun clapped his horse and left. He ran very fast and disappeared in a flash. Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
What does complete collapse mean? Now it means complete collapse...
In the past few days, Cao Cao has been seen in a humble state more than once, and this time was no different.
The key...it was actually Yi Xiaotian's strict request to let Zhao Yun go. Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off at all, and his whole body was in a tense state. Now that it was done, shouldn't he be discouraged?
If Cao Cao was to make his own judgment, he would have liked to have captured a powerful general like Zhao Yun directly into his formation.
But as soon as this idea appeared, Yi Xiaotian interrupted Cao Cao and told Cao Cao:
"To kill someone, you must kill your heart...Brother Hide, you want to win back the heart of the fierce general for the prime minister. I know it...but you have to understand...people like Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei who are even slightly loyal, it is almost impossible for them to do it.
What we use…”
"And since it's impossible to surrender, we might as well resort to our own tricks and send them back..."
"Letting them go can disrupt the opponent's military morale and undermine the opponent's momentum; if we kill these two generals indiscriminately, the sad soldiers will win, and let the opponent turn their grief and anger into strength, then the gain will not be worth the loss..."
Yi Xiaotian spoke eloquently, and Cao Cao also listened carefully at that time, for fear of missing any details.
"Secondly...Brother Hi said this to repay a favor to the Prime Minister Guan Yunchang...Guan Yunchang is a person who values love and justice...To put it bluntly, he can't distinguish the priorities of things...It is true that we cannot make the other party become our strength...but we can also
Plant a seed and let Guan Yun grow up and resist to help the other party..."
"As long as either of these two goals is achieved, it will be of great help to us..."
"and…"
Yi Xiaotian smiled softly, and Cao Cao was deeply touched by his light and gentle look——
"Brother, after seeing the performance of Chaiyue Liannu today, do you still think that one more powerful general from the other side and one less powerful general from the other side will have much impact on us?"
"In the battle to defend the city...the most wasteful thing is naturally the cavalry, and the second most...are those generals who claim to be highly skilled in martial arts and invincible in the world."
Yi Xiaotian spoke so eloquently that Cao Cao even broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
But in short... He followed Yi Xiaotian's words and fooled Zhao Yun to the point of being dizzy... Zhao Yun, who was fleeing on the road at the moment, was really afraid of what he would do if they made the same mistake again...
Cao Cao's self-confidence left a very deep impression on him... The seeds Yi Xiaotian mentioned have been deeply planted——
——
thump…
Cao Cao sat down on the steps of the city wall, with his hands on his knees, as if he was wilted... But in fact, it was not just Cao Cao... all the generals who witnessed the battle, even if they were only on the city wall.
Watching the battle is like experiencing it personally, some are sweating profusely, others are in shock...
"Exciting...this is so fucking exciting!"
Only Le Jin, a hot-blooded fool, is still bragging to his subordinates, bragging about the miracle of the Moon-Chasing Crossbow, bragging about how he followed the steps and wiped out the opponent step by step...
Zhang Liao and others heard Le Jin's call and smiled helplessly and shook their heads.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed. He pointed at the frustrated generals one by one and cursed with a smile:
"What am I doing? Brother Yi will definitely do what he promised me... Let's see if any of you dare to neglect Brother Yi in the future!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! Mr. Yi is simply our reborn parent!"
"Rebirth parents?"
"Mr. Yi is my biological father!"
"Xu Chu is talking nonsense again..."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
——
The generals on the city tower were relieved, but Yi Xiaotian actually did not meet Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei at all after explaining the secrets... but Yi Xiaotian did not intend to show his face easily in front of the enemy... especially the emperor's high-status people.
Although Yi Xiaotian certainly doesn't like to make mysteries, the so-called psychological tactics - the enemy you haven't seen is always the most terrifying enemy. This truth, Yi Xiaotian understands clearly.
Therefore, after explaining how to deal with the surrendered general, Yi Xiaotian rushed to another very important place without stopping.
——
In front of Ma Mansion, Ma Mansion, which had been heavily guarded for a long time, was surrounded by people.
Of course, not all of these people are Cao Cao's soldiers, quite a few are actually the heads of aristocratic families who were implicated by Ma Liang's letter.
At this moment, everyone was standing in a row in front of Ma Mansion, and the person standing at the front of the row was a tall, thin man with a bruised nose and swollen face... Obviously, to identify him, you only need to look at his eyebrows.
But now he is extremely panicked, because he found out at night that Li Yue's whereabouts had been discovered as early as when he left the city, and everything that happened in the past two days was actually just Yi Xiaotian asking the man named Mr. Hao to accompany him.
It's just a play they put on——
"By the way, who is that Mr. Hidden?"
Ma Liang didn't dare to ask. He had just learned a few days ago that Cao Cao didn't seem to stop in Xiangyang at all... But why were the civil servants and generals around Cao Cao surrounding the man named Hao Ye?
Such questions remained in his mind, and Ma Liang felt that he had no chance to ask them.
Because he seemed to see a person slowly walking towards Ma Mansion in the distance through the swollen eye sockets.
The other person walked with an arrogant and somewhat confident and elegant posture, so that even if he didn't see the other person's face, he knew who the other person was.
"Damn it! Yi Xiaotian! I want you to die badly!"
In his heart, Ma Liang said this, but when it came to his mouth, he said something else.
"Master Yi! I'd rather... I'd rather mess with you!"
Ma Liang sprayed saliva and expressed his welcome to Yi Xiaotian in an extremely unclear tone.
Yi Xiaotian was startled from a distance by the "pig head" at the head of the queue:
"What the hell?"
"Master Yi...cough...tie...tie oh ya! Oh tie, Ma Niang!"
Yi Xiaotian frowned and carefully looked at the pig-headed man in front of him for who knows how long before he could see the clues from the little bit of white hair between his eyebrows.
"It turns out to be Fourth Master Ma. I'm so rude. Why is your face so swollen like this?"
Yi Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, but Ma Liang was so angry that his lungs almost exploded after hearing Yi Xiaotian's knowingly asking questions, but he still could only reply with a shy face:
