Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 759 Ginger is still old and spicy

"Thank you Uncle Cao for your generous help, but I don't know, what does Uncle Cao want to get from me?" IQ is also online.

He is not a fool. He grew up in Yuan's parents since he was a child. Facing this turbulent world where rituals and music have collapsed, he certainly knows that Cao Cao will help him without conditions.

Sure enough, Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Lord Mushou is really well versed in the world. Since Lord Mushou is straightforward, I don't need to hide it. What my lord wants is Qingzhou and the three counties to the east of Jizhou. "

Yuan Tan nodded. Although he lost a lot in Qingzhou this time, the whole area of ​​Qingzhou has not yet been captured by Cao Jun.Especially in the three counties to the east of Jizhou, Yuan Tan believed that even if Cao's army won a big victory at Guandu, they would still be powerless.This move is not an exaggeration to say that it is blackmail.

However, Cao Cao's condition is not a big mouth for a lion, and he can barely accept it.Therefore, Yuan Tan lost his temper and asked again: "What else?"

"The other thing is that Master Mushou wants to marry my lord. It's a good thing to watch and help each other like this." Cheng Yu said again.

Yuan Tan's face became serious now, he knew the meaning behind this condition: On the surface, this condition is quite good for Yuan Tan, he won a wife for nothing, and he can use Cao Jun to regain his Yuan's foundation.But this is not the case in reality. Once Yuan Tan accepted Cao Cao's daughter, the relationship that Cao Cao was a subsidiary of the Yuan family would be reversed abruptly from then on.From then on, Cao Cao no longer needed to look up to the Yuan family. On the contrary, Yuan Tan had to pay more respect to Cao Cao because he became Cao Cao's son-in-law.

However, with the situation at this point, Yuan Tan also knew that he had no choice, so he nodded again and said, "Thank you Uncle Cao for your great respect, my nephew can't wait for it."

The basic framework was finalized, and the atmosphere in the big tent gradually eased.Cheng Yu told Yuan Tan that now Yuan Shang is cutting off dissidents in Yecheng and building a prison, which has caused resentment among the people in Yecheng.If Yuan Tan could unite with Cao Jun to go to Yecheng and order Yecheng to surrender as the eldest son, it would definitely be effortless.

Yuan Tan was also overjoyed at the end of his life, and agreed with Cheng Yu's plan with both feet.It's a pity that Yuan Tan's camp has run out of food and fodder, otherwise, Yuan Tan would definitely hold a large banquet to express his heartfelt thanks to Cheng Yu, an angel.

However, no matter how gentle the river is, there will be some twists and turns, and no matter how smooth the negotiation is, there will be differences.Regarding the details of the alliance between the two armies, Yuan Tan and Cheng Yu had a little disagreement.

According to Cheng Yu, since the two parties have reached an agreement, Yuan Tan should go to Cao Ying to meet Cao Cao and finalize the final plan.But what Yuan Tan meant was that he wanted to accept Cao Cao's assistance on this hill. At that time, to show his sincerity, he would take off his armor and hand over the seal of Qingzhou first.

"Mr. Cheng, Yuan Tan is not talented, but he is also a descendant of a famous family. Now that he is so impoverished, he is really shameless. Mr. Huanwang, after returning to the camp, please tell Uncle Cao about my nephew's unfeelingness. Uncle Cao is open-minded and determined I will understand my nephew's sincerity, and give my nephew this last face." At the end of the discussion, Yuan Tan still insisted on this point.Even when he said this, he made a rare salute to Cheng Yu with humility.

Cheng Yugang's proud face was finally moved, and he sighed and said: "Since that's the case, I will do my best." After finishing speaking, he was sent off by Yuan Tan respectfully, and left the dilapidated hillock.

But as soon as Cheng Yu left, Yuan Tan's face changed suddenly, and he called his guards in a sharp voice, "I have lured the Cao thief to climb the hill, and you will lie down in the big tent with a sharp ax in hand, and wait for my order." , Immediately cut Cao thief into meat sauce. Then we will take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and regroup!"

The guards under his command looked at each other, not knowing why Yuan Tan was going crazy.Yuan Tan was obviously dissatisfied with the performance of these idiots, and immediately shouted: "Don't you want to go back to your hometown to see your wives and children? I can assure you that as long as you escape and ascend to heaven this time, you will definitely enjoy the glory and wealth! "

Seeing Yuan Tan put on such a posture, the guards couldn't help but be a little more cautious, responded sparsely and went down to prepare.Leaving Yuan Tan alone, his stern face couldn't help but become more unruly: "Old thief Cao, you who take advantage of the fire to rob me, still want to invade my Yuan family's foundation, it's really wishful thinking!"

Almost at the same time, in Cao Ying under the hill.After Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's reply, he couldn't help but laughed together with Cheng Yu: "Remove your armor to greet each other, and personally present the seal letter? Zhong De, why are there such smart people in the world? If I really entered his tent, I'm afraid you have seen the knife and axe before seeing the Qingzhou seal, right?"

"My lord, I see clearly that this kid is somewhat cunning and vicious. It's a pity that he is self-righteous and underestimates others too much. Such rotten wood is useless, and the lord should make the best use of it." Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes. Eyes, in this sentence, he emphasized the word 'make the best use of everything'.

Cao Cao naturally understood, nodded and said: "Since he wants to play, I'll play with him." After saying that, Cao Cao took a bamboo slip, wrote a letter by hand, and handed it to Cheng Yu, saying, "Please trouble Zhongde again." Enter the Yuan camp, and hand this over to that ignorant child."

Before the ambush was arranged, Yuan Tan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the news of Cheng Yu's visit.He knew that Cao Cao might have seen through his little trick, and sure enough, after receiving the bamboo slip, he saw a line written on it: I wish to be good for my son-in-law, and even more so as a help for the fence.Standing on a tripod's feet, it's like a few people; I dare not accept the ceremony from the north.

This is Cao Cao tactfully expressing to Yuan Tan: From now on, we should just be a good father-in-law and good son-in-law, and support each other whenever there is a situation.It's enough for everyone to stand on their feet. As for the thing you said about facing the north as a minister, I dare not accept it.

Seeing this letter, Yuan Tan felt disappointed, but he concealed it very well.After all, even so, he still escaped death, and everything still has a chance to make a comeback.From this, he bowed deeply to Cheng Yu again and said, "If that's the case, everything will be arranged by Uncle Cao. My nephew is willing to make a blood alliance with Uncle Cao and help each other!"

Yuan Tan didn't have much doubt about Cao Cao's letter.In his view, Cao Cao's acquisition of Qingzhou and Jizhou is already the limit of Cao's army at present.Moreover, the general trend of the world is also very obvious. Sooner or later, the Han Dynasty will eradicate the separatist forces on the land of China one by one. If they don't unite now, when will it be?
What's more, he, Cao Cao, took the lead in this alliance and finally overwhelmed the Yuan clan. What else is he not satisfied with?
As a result, Yuan Tan led three hundred soldiers happily into Cao Jun's camp on the second day.Cao Cao ordered the 300 people to wait outside the big tent, and then kindly led Yuan Tan into the big tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Yuan Tan bowed his head to Cao Cao: "My nephew is perverted, and I have disrespected my uncle a lot before. I never thought that my uncle was magnanimous. Not only did he ignore the previous suspicions, but he also helped my nephew as a righteous man in the Spring and Autumn Period, causing my nephew to die. And come back to life. My little nephew rubs his head and puts his heels on his heels, there is no way to repay him!"

This kind of humble attitude, even Yuan Tan never had it with his father Yuan Shao.Before he came to the camp, he felt that he had already realized everything. After all, the world was in chaos, and he had to follow the trend and not go against it.This time I lowered my posture, maybe it was for the sake of straightening my waist in the future.

However, Yuan Tan never imagined that his enlightenment was nothing more than a fantasy after all.

After he knelt on the ground and kissed Cao Cao's flattery, Cao Cao's honest but embarrassed voice suddenly sounded above his head: "Nephew, this moment and that moment, I promised yesterday, uncle may have to renege on his promise."

Yuan Tan raised his head in astonishment, and saw that behind Cao Cao's smile was clearly a complacent and ferocious face.

At this moment, Yuan Tan seemed to understand something: Jiang is still old and spicy.

He, Yuan Tan, is not worthy of playing tricks with Cao Cao.Not even worthy of carrying shoes.

But Yuan Tan was still not reconciled, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, how can you break your promise so easily? What's more, my nephew is willing to donate the three counties of Qingzhou and Jizhou as a gift to my uncle..."

"Nephew, it's not because uncle doesn't want to, but I really can't." Cao Cao sighed, and then told him the truth calmly: "Now Yecheng is surrounded by a hundred thousand Han troops, and you and I are both Han officials. Why? Can you make a move to His Majesty?"

"Then we can surrender to Your Majesty! As soon as I arrive in Yecheng, everyone in Yecheng will know what a despicable person Yuan Shang is, and Yecheng will be ready to go down at that time!"

"Nephew is right." Cao Cao stroked his beard, seeming to be interested in Yuan Tan's proposal.However, just when Yuan Tan thought things were turning around again, Cao Cao's cold and decisive voice suddenly entered his ears: "But, you want to be a Hanchen, but I don't want to!"

At this moment, Yuan Tan didn't even have a chance to ask Cao Cao why, so Dian Wei picked him up.Immediately afterwards, the sharp short halberd swiped across his neck, and Dian Wei held a large head in his hands.

Until his death, Yuan Tan couldn't figure out why Cao Cao wanted to kill himself...
