Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 510 Cui Yan's Role

Strictly speaking, Cui Yan is definitely a talent who is more inclined towards domestic affairs.

During war, this type of internal affairs talent does not play a big role in following the army.

But when dealing with the Cao family, Cui Yan is still useful!

As a pioneer in the anti-Cao movement, his appearance would certainly calm down the officials of the Cao family who came to surrender.

Now...when Xing Daorong heard that Cui Yan was joining the army, he knew his role.

He immediately slapped his thigh and shouted happily: "Mr. Cui has come just in time!"

"If you wanted to go back, I would have to keep you to help me, but now you don't have to bother me."

Cui Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but also showed a bit of joy.

No wonder...no one wants to be a salted fish.

Cui Yan knew that his ability to lead troops in battle was mediocre, and thought that Xing Daorong was just being polite, but he never thought that he would actually be useful.

He laughed and said, "General! If you need anything for me, just tell me."

Xing Daorong was not polite and said, "To stabilize people's hearts and recruit surrendered generals!"

As he spoke, he pulled Cui Yan by the hand and introduced him as they walked: "Two days ago, Chang Lin from Henei County came to Chang'an with his family."

"That battle was very powerful."

"As someone who came here to join the light before the war, I am naturally very welcome, but..."

"We need to calm their minds so that they can contact the Cao clan and surrender as soon as possible."

When Cui Yan heard about this job, he felt uncomfortable!

He immediately said, "Although I am not very familiar with Chang Bohuai and have only met him a few times, it is still no problem to calm their minds."

"General, leave this matter to me."

Xing Daorong naturally felt that there was no problem with Cui Yan's appearance, and nodded with relief, while asking him to go and meet Chang Lin.

I just didn’t expect that Cui Lin’s result would be particularly good!
After a detailed discussion that night, Chang Lin went to find Xing Daorong the next day and acted very open-hearted.

...

"General... I heard... His Majesty has issued an order to attack Luoyang, right?"

At this moment, Chang Lin came to look for him, and the first thing he did was to ask about the movements of his army and horses.

Xing Daorong did not hide anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Bo Huai came at the right time. If he was half a minute later, he would have missed the opportunity."

Breaking into Yecheng and surrendering voluntarily are naturally different.

only…

To say that we missed the opportunity would be an exaggeration.

Even if we wanted to attack, it would not be easy to capture Yecheng.

However, although he felt that Xing Daorong was exaggerating, Chang Lin still had to give him face, so he said, "Hey... General, you are joking. I have been forced into this situation and have no other choice."

"If Zhong Yao, a close minister of Cao Pi, forces me to raise food and fodder and wants to kill me, I cannot just leave like that."

“I’m so ashamed… I’m so ashamed…”

As Chang Lin spoke, he also briefly introduced the situation in Yecheng to Xing Daorong.

Unexpectedly, Xing Daorong actually knew more about this than him. When he heard that it was Zhong Yao who forced him out, on the one hand, he admired the old man Zhong for being so good at this job, and on the other hand, he lamented that Chang Lin was a bit unlucky.

Being forced here by Zhong Yao, I guess he must have been feeling uneasy for a while.

But now... now that he is here, I might as well tell him the truth.

Xing Daorong was not worried that Chang Lin would rebel and return. After all, the whole clan was here, so he couldn't rebel again. He said, "Bo Huai... since you are here, I have to explain some secrets to you first to avoid misunderstandings in the future."

Chang Lin's heart sank when he heard this, and then he saw Cui Yan and Xun Ya entered the tent.

Seeing these two people, Chang Lin was even more confused. He didn't know what secret it was that required such a large force.

Xing Daorong then said, "Bo Huai... As for Lord Yuan Chang... Don't be jealous. I arranged for him to go."

Ok!

Chang Lin then realized that the person who had gotten him into this situation was Xing Daorong.

But this sounds a bit unbelievable!

Zhong Yao is so loyal and devoted to Cao Pi, but you tell me that this is on Liu Bei's side?
This is too exaggerated!

Chang Lin felt his head buzzing as he listened. Although it was Xing Daorong who said these words, it still felt unbelievable!

He then realized why Xun Ya and Cui Yan had to come together to tell this secret. They were probably here to testify for Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong also knew that Chang Lin would find it hard to believe what he said. Seeing him like this, he smiled and said, "Bo Huai... don't you believe what I said?"

"Mr. Cui and Mr. Xun are here now. They can both testify for me."

Seeing Chang Lin turning around to look, Xun Ya stepped forward eagerly and said, "That's exactly it!"

"I was present when this matter was being discussed. Just as the general said, Lord Yuan Chang returned to Yecheng to serve as a spy!"

Good guy!
It turns out that the close ministers around Cao Pi had already rebelled!
What's the point of fighting?

No wonder... No wonder I feel that Zhong Yao went too far this time.

Come to think of it, Zhong Yao would not have been like this before!

Seeing that Cui Yan and Xun Ya both said so, Xing Daorong no longer had to lie to himself, and Chang Lin was finally convinced.

He couldn't help but sighed: "So... Cao Pi's defeat is certain, it's really time to come."

As he spoke, he thought of his two old friends.

After hesitating for a while, he made a suggestion to Xing Daorong: "I think the general has a way to communicate with Lord Yuan Chang. In this case... you can ask him to persuade Shangshu Zhao Zi and Xiaowei Xun Wei to surrender as soon as possible."

"These two are my good friends. If I tell them that I am here, I can get it done."

Xing Daorong shook his head upon hearing this and said, "No, no, Lord Yuan Chang will decide all matters, big or small, in Yecheng."

"Being a spy is so dangerous. You should have fewer interactions on a daily basis and not give orders casually, lest your identity be exposed."

"It all depends on Lord Yuan Chang's own operation!"

Chang Lin was not angry when his proposal was rejected.

He nodded and said, "I see, the general is very thoughtful. I won't give you any random advice."

Xing Daorong said with a serious face: "Hey! How can this be called a random suggestion!"

"There are no taboos among us. You can say whatever you want!"

"Bo Huai just had good intentions, how could I not know that?"

Compared with the intrigues in Yecheng, Chang Lin instantly felt the warmth of a big family with Xing Daorong.

Chang Lin felt more at ease, and said, "General, if I have some free time today, I will talk to you again..."

Although Chang Lin had been here for a few days, he had always been reserved and had not described everything about Yecheng in detail.

This is the role of Cui Yan. With him, the people who came to surrender to the Northern Wei had a backbone and could relax their minds. They naturally told everything in detail.

In this way, Xing Daorong had a deeper understanding of the extent of food shortage in Cao Pi's camp.
