Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 651 Cao Ren!

Wen Chou waited in the camp in fear for two days.

Finally, he waited for Yang Fu.

However, this time it was not just Yang Fu alone, there was also a short but very strong man.

The man was wearing armor and was accompanied by a dozen soldiers.

At first glance, it looks quite majestic and domineering.

Wen Chou was originally strolling around the camp.

He hasn't slept well for several days.

There were bruises all around his eye sockets.

When the soldier came to inform that Yang Fu was bringing Cao Ren over, he looked a little dazed. He was stunned for a long while before he came to his senses.

After sighing, Wen Chou took a few guards to the general's tent.

Wen Chou was not very happy to see Yang Fu and the man.

Yang Fu, on the other hand, seemed quite excited. He pointed at the man and said to Wen Chou, "General Wen, this is Cao Ren, the great general who is a relative of Cao Sikong."

"He had been stationed in Yanzhou before. This time, Ma Chao led the army ahead. He was appointed as the military supervisor by Cao Sikong and sat in Ma Chao's army."

Wen Chou glanced at Cao Ren and said in a hoarse voice, "Can you make the decision?"

Cao Ren laughed and said, "If I can't make the decision, why would I come here?"

"General Wen doesn't seem to be very interested in my brother?"

"Why, do you think that the general is more powerful than my brother?"

Wen Chou sneered and did not respond. He just stretched out his hand and shook it.

Cao Ren looked unhappy.

Seeing this, Yang Fu waved at him.

At this time, the most important thing is to persuade Wen Chou to surrender.

His attitude problem now is not important.

After taking Jiguan, Ma Chao's army was stationed here, and Cao Sikong's army was able to rush over quickly, using this place as a stronghold, and then gradually eroded the entire Hebei Province.

Cao Ren suppressed his unhappiness, took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it.

His expression was gloomy.

This scroll is the imperial document appointing him as General Jianwu.

Except for the words "Wen Chou" and "General Jianwu" which are written in new handwriting, the rest are written in old handwriting.

Even the emperor's seal.

Wen Chou bit his lower lip.

It seems that people had anticipated this happening.

Thinking of how he had ignored the advice of Chen Jiao, Zang Ba and Sun Guan and acted on his own, Wen Chou's hands holding the scroll began to tremble.

If he had the chance to do it again, he would never make this mistake again.

Seeing that Wen Chou had not yet agreed, Yang Fu hurriedly asked, "General Wen, a man should not go back on his word."

"The general from the Cao Sikong clan that you wanted is here."

"I also have the appointment documents you requested."

"Why are you still hesitating?"

"To be honest, if you don't surrender now, Ma Chao's Ma family army will continue to attack."

"Cao Sikong's army will arrive soon."

"By then, can you defend this place with your soldiers?"

"Don't forget, you just killed three thousand elite soldiers."

"Your soldiers are extremely afraid of the Ma family army."

"Besides, you have already offended the general, and your relatives may be killed."

"No matter how hard you resist, you are not a human being inside or outside."

"You still want to work for the enemy who killed your family?"

Wen Chou felt extremely conflicted when he heard what Yang Fu said.

After a while, he took a deep breath, rolled up the scroll, put it into his sleeve, and said to Cao Ren and Yang Fu, "I surrender." Yang Fu and Cao Ren looked at each other and were extremely happy.

Just as they were about to celebrate, Wen Chou said again: "Give me one day."

"I'll talk to the soldiers."

"Many of my soldiers are from Hebei."

"If I lead them to surrender directly, they might cause trouble."

"I need one day to get those who don't want to go with me to leave."

Cao Ren is about to speak, so why not just kill him?
Wen Chou seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, and said first: "After all, I have lived in Hebei for so long, and I trained them myself."

"It's no exaggeration to say that they are my relatives."

"How could I possibly do anything to all of them?"

"Or do you, Cao Sikong, not mind that I am a cold-blooded person?"

Wen Chou's words surprised both Cao Ren and Yang Fu.

This really leaves me speechless.

They naturally hoped to bring a flesh-and-blood person to surrender.

What's the point of having no emotions at all?
If he can betray Hebei today, he can betray Cao Sikong tomorrow!

Yang Fu nodded to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was somewhat helpless and said to Wen Chou: "Okay, but I want to stay in your army today. Also, I want half of the tiger talisman."

With half of the tiger talisman in hand, it would be impossible for Wen Chou to go back on his word.

The tiger talisman is divided into two halves.

Only with both halves in hand can the army be fully mobilized.

Wen Chou frowned.

Yang Fu smiled and said, "General Wen, we have given you the relatives and guarantees from Cao Sikong that you asked for. Now, you should also show some sincerity."

Wen Chou glanced at Yang Fu and Cao Ren, and then said, "You can give me half of the tiger talisman. However, you must stay in the camp I arranged and not leave without permission. Otherwise, if you take the tiger talisman away and invite Ma Chao to come, won't I just be sitting there waiting to be killed?"

Cao Ren was about to refuse.

Yang Fu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let's each make some concessions."

Cao Ren glared at Wen Chou fiercely and nodded dejectedly.

Wen Chou carefully took out the tiger talisman from the cloth bag hanging around his waist, broke it in half and handed it to Cao Ren.

Afterwards, he ordered dozens of personal soldiers to escort Yang Fu and Cao Ren out of the general's tent and took them to the entrance of a tent.

Cao Ren looked at the guards surrounding him not far away and said to Yang Fu in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Are you crazy?"

"What should we do if Wen Chou changes his mind, kills us and asks Zhang Sui for mercy?"

Yang Fu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"Wen Chou has been operating in Hebei for many years. How can it be so easy to make him surrender? I had expected that he would hesitate like this."

Yang Fu leaned close to Cao Ren's ear and whispered, "Before the battle, I found local people in Yecheng and brought them to the army to prevent something like this from happening today."

"These few times when they came to persuade us to surrender, I arranged for them to pass through Jiguan and head towards Yecheng."

"Tonight at dusk, they will rush over here with a few bloody heads pretending to be from Yecheng."

"Wen Chou, this fool, has long been frightened out of his wits by fear."

“If you suddenly see someone delivering the head of your loved one, you will definitely be in a state of panic and grief.”

"At that time, we will persuade him to quickly hand over the other half of the tiger talisman to us so that we can avenge him and then let Ma Chao lead his army to attack us directly."

"At that time, it won't matter whether he is willing to surrender or not."

"We have seized his military power and taken over Jiguan. If he is willing to obey us, we will spare his life."

"If he doesn't want to obey, kill him."

"It doesn't matter whether we keep such a reckless general who can't stand provocation or not."

Cao Ren listened to Yang Fu's words and said with a strange expression: "You civil officials are all crooked. We, the military generals, are no match for you."

Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I am a civil official, I have only just joined Lord Cao and need to rely on you, General Cao."

Cao Ren laughed and said, "Okay! Okay!"
