Lu Dynasty

Chapter 677 Xin Ming
As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others immediately echoed, and even Guo Tu also stood up and said: "Since my lord is going to attack Jingzhou in the south, even the preparations have been made, and the order has been issued, how can I give up at this time?" How about Jingzhou and fall into the quagmire of Jizhou again?" I see that most of the civil and military personnel are against my surrender to Yuan Tan, but I remember that Cao once accepted Yuan Tan's surrender in history, and he won two generals and a counselor because of it.Now Yuan Tan asked me to surrender, but no one agreed, I immediately turned my head to look at Guo Jia who had been silent all this time!

When Guo Jia saw me looking at him, he knew that I disagreed with Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia and Zhao Yun had different opinions.Guo Jia thought for a while, stood up and smiled, "Zilong's words are not bad, but they are not comprehensive. Yuan Tan's false surrender is true, but we can use him to make tricks. After all, no matter how useless Cai Hao is, he can still resist Liu Bei." For a period of time, it doesn’t matter if we don’t get Jingzhou temporarily. Jizhou is right behind us. If we are at war with Jingzhou, it will be troublesome if Yuan suddenly launches an attack behind us! The last time Yuan Shao launched an attack, we got the news beforehand , but we cannot guarantee that we will be so lucky every time! The Yuan family owns the land of three states. If the two sons work together to guard the world, the major events in the world will not be known! Now that their brothers are fighting each other, and Yuan Tan is in a poor position to vote, we will cut off Yuan Shang first. If Yuan Tan is destroyed again, Jizhou will be gained and the world will be settled, this opportunity must not be missed!"

"The words of filial piety are exactly what I want!" I smiled and told the little principal to take Xin Ming to my big tent to have a talk, and prepared drinks, hoping to have a good chat with him.I once remembered that Simpi in history sold Yuan Tan when he went to Cao Jun to discuss surrender for Yuan Tan.It's a pity that Simpi's resourcefulness is a little short, and it's a pity that his whole family was killed by the judge.Now that Simpi has surrendered to me, I will naturally try my best to protect his family, which is also my responsibility as the lord.After all, I am not Liu Bei, I always abandon my wife and children!

Xin Ming was also very anxious. Like Xin Pi, he did not want to work for the Yuan family.Simpi often wrote letters back to Jizhou. Although he didn't talk about the situation of our army, he often mentioned in his heart how proud he was!As a member of Simpi's clan, Xin Ming is very envious of Simpi.Xin Ming received my invitation, and immediately followed the principal to my big tent. At this time, I had already prepared all the food and drinks and was waiting for him!When Xin Ming saw me, he immediately saluted and said, "To keep the Prime Minister waiting for a long time, it's a death sentence! A death sentence!"

"Sit!" I pointed to the seat opposite and said with a smile, "Mr. Xin came from Jizhou. I don't know what relationship you have with George?"

"Your Majesty, please ask, Xin Pi is my elder brother!" Xin Ming sat down across from me and said with a smile, "I have overstepped!"

"Since you are George's brother, you are not considered an outsider. Although we belong to the enemy country, we can treat you better. After all, it depends on George's face!" My words moved Xin Ming very much. Yuan Shao's subordinates were never respected, even Yuan Shao's good friends Xu You and Chun Yuqiong.Originally, Xin Ming had a good impression of me, but now I have no airs to entertain him, which made Xin Ming yearn for me even more. He looked at me and was stunned for a moment!I looked at the dazed Xin Ming and smiled, "What's the matter? Come, let's chat while eating!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xin Ming picked up the wine and said, "I can't repay the prime minister for treating me like this. Respect the prime minister!"

After Xin Ming and I drank it down, we laughed and said, "Xin Ming, you came here to ask for Yuan Tan's surrender. Is he surrendering for real or for real? Is Yuan Shang really that powerful? Don't you be afraid, I'm not good for you?"

"Your prime minister is joking!" Xin Ming laughed, "Brother Xin Pi once said in a letter to the prime minister: a group of talented people knows how to use them well. How can such a wise person not know that the two countries will not fight each other?" The reason for the envoy? As for Yuan Tan’s request to surrender, the prime minister should not ask him whether he is a false surrender or a genuine surrender, but only discuss the current situation! The Yuan family has been defeated by the prime minister for many years. For the second; coupled with famine and poverty, natural disasters and human poverty: no matter the wisdom or the foolish, everyone knows that the Yuan family will collapse. ;If you return to aid, Yuan Tan will attack him from behind. With the prime minister's military power, you can strike the tired people like the swift wind sweeping the autumn leaves. Now you don't take Jizhou, but you want to attack Jingzhou; Jingzhou is a fertile land , the people are rich, and it is difficult to shake it. What's more, the troubles in the four directions are greater than Hebei; if Hebei is flat, hegemony can be achieved. I hope the prime minister will think twice!"

After listening to Xin Ming's words, I gasped. The Xin brothers are so talented.Under my command, Xin Pi manages the staff in an orderly manner, but Xin Ping is Yuan Tan's most valued mastermind. This Xin Ming, who came out of nowhere, can actually say some thought-provoking words.With his vision, he should not be unknown in history. I raised my glass and drank it down: "I am surprised that you have such a vision, but why do I feel that what you said sounds like what George said?" ?” In fact, these words should have been said by Simpi, but he came to my command ahead of time.I thought to myself: Is it because God must find someone to say these words?It seems that the wheel of history is repairing the track I deviated from, but I don’t know if it will repair me!However, my considerations seem redundant.

"No wonder George always said in his letter that taking refuge in the Prime Minister was the most correct choice in his life. The Prime Minister can even hear his tone!" Xin Ming said in surprise: "Actually, Brother Zhong Zhi wanted to let Yuan Tan Surrender to the prime minister, and use the prime minister's hand to fight for Jizhou. The person who came here to discuss the surrender with the prime minister should be Brother Zuozhi, but Brother Zuozhi is already under the prime minister's command! Brother Zhongzhi has the best relationship with me in the clan, so he chose me. Before I came here, I had written with Brother Zuozhi, hoping that he would persuade the Prime Minister to surrender! Although Brother Zuozhi hadn’t taught me how to say it, he had already revealed the meaning to me between the lines, so I just said it! I didn’t expect the Prime Minister to listen to it! Come out!"

I laughed out loud after hearing Xin Ming's words. I didn't expect Xin Ming to be so honest. People like this are usually practical!I smiled and said, "Sure enough, George is right. If that's the case, when things happen in Jizhou, you will go to Luoyang to help George. I don't know what you want?"

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for taking me in!" Xin Ming was overjoyed after hearing my words, but he still asked with some doubts: "Since the Prime Minister is willing to take me in, why do you have to wait until the affairs of Jizhou? I will take refuge with the Prime Minister now, and save Yuan Tan that This kind of person who has no strategy!" Xin Ming showed disdain for Yuan Tan, but it was not his fault, even Yuan Shao looked down on Yuan Tan, let alone the people of insight in Jizhou?In fact, Xin Ping also knew that Yuan Tan was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, but he had to repay Yuan Tan's kindness, just like Chen Gong in history!
