King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 499

When Liu Bei's words reached Cao Cao's ears, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, who were not good at defending at all, just laughed it off and didn't pay any attention to it, but they later understood after Cao Cao's series of actions, even if the suspicious Cao Cao didn't I completely believe in these things, but I would rather kill the wrong one before, and not let one go, or just like Cao Cao's clear statement, I would rather be blamed than others, and start to attack Cheng Yu and Guo Jia and others. It wasn't that Cao Cao's subordinates were on guard.

At that time, it was Cao Cao who was charged with murdering the emperor, coupled with Dong Cheng's rebellion, which drew many officials of the Han Dynasty to participate in the matter, which made Cao Cao suspicious of most civil officials. Cao Cao, who was already suspicious by nature, even if it was a war Urgency will not reduce the release of subordinates, and even the more urgent the war is, the more it will prevent the betrayal of the soldiers under his command. Although this is also beneficial to Cao Cao, if someone betrays him, he will find out as soon as possible. , killed in the cradle, but after all, this will chill the hearts of the soldiers under his command......

From then on, these counselors tended to be very careful when speaking in front of Cao Cao. Of course, except for Xun Yu who didn't take Cao Cao's suspicion seriously at all, at that time, the lord's suspicion of his subordinates, especially the scribes who were famous , is a very hidden hatred, which creates a rift......

After a while, the palace gate slowly opened, and there were two troops standing outside the palace gate, the one on the outside was the Youliao army, and the one in the middle was the military uniform that Feizang was familiar with, the upright Cao army, this is the army in the city that Cheng Yu persuaded to surrender Cao Cao's remnants, there are only more than 300 people in total, while the Youliao army is closely watching their every move.

Cheng Yu immediately introduced to Li Lin: "Master, General Li Tong is very brave. When he was young, he was famous as a knight-errant in the Jianghuai area. He and Chen Gong from the same county raised troops in Langling. Nearly a thousand people joined him. Sometimes Zhou Zhi Standing on their own, with more than [-] households under their command, they have a secret hatred with Chen Gong and Li Tong. After Li Tong learned about it, he tried to kill Zhou Zhi. When he was in a state of intoxication, he killed Zhou Zhi, and his subordinates rioted. Li Tong then led Chen Gong to enter Zhou Zhi's camp and annexed his subordinates. He, beheaded his head to pay homage to Chen Gong, and later captured Wu Ba, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and recruited his subordinates. In the time of great famine, Li Tong went bankrupt to save the people, and shared the chaff with Confucian scholars. From now on, thieves will not dare to invade!"

Hearing Cheng Yu's words of praise for Li Tong, Li Lin was also very surprised. Li Lin was not very familiar with Li Tong. He was not considered a high-ranking general among Cao's troops, but if he wanted to come back, Cao Cao relied heavily on him. General, but Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and other family brothers, people with foreign surnames must insert some.

Li Lin immediately said: "Please General Li Tong come to see me!"

Under Li Lin's order, a short while later, I saw a heroic-looking general about the same age as Li Lin, walking slowly into the main hall. Of course, he didn't take off his shoes at the door like Cheng Yu. , walked up to Li Lin, bowed his hands to Li Lin and said, "Meet the Marquis of Liao!" Li Lin didn't know Li Tong, but Li Tong knew Li Lin, the world-famous Marquis of Liao, and stood there with his head bowed, neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Lin nodded and said, "You are the Li Tong and Li Wenda whom Master Cheng Yu said everyone admired?"

Li Tong cupped his hands and said, "You are really the last general!"

"Oh!" Li Lin said with a faint smile: "Then, may I ask if the general is willing to surrender?"

Li Tong bowed his head and said, "Master Cheng Yu is willing to surrender, so a certain one is willing to surrender!"

Before Li Lin could speak, Cheng Yu said first, "What nonsense!"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, looked at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu immediately said: "My lord, General Li Tong is a simple and honest man. He didn't know why he saw Liu He, so he said such a thing. I hope the lord will forgive me!"

Cheng Yu reprimanded Li Tongdao again: "Wenda, you are seeking refuge with the Marquis of Liao, not me. You must not say that!"

Li Tong still lowered his head and insisted: "Wherever Mr. Cheng Yu goes, so-and-so will go!"

"Haha!" Li Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Tong's words, this Li Tong really regarded Cheng Yu as a good friend!Li Lin smiled and said: "Haha, General Wenda is so simple and straightforward, this is why I can't help but laugh! Haha! Master Cheng, don't make things difficult for General Wenda. Isn't General Wenda following you the same as following me!"

Of course, Li Lin thought that Li Tong was very funny, but Cheng Yu was even more surprised when Li Lin said this. Said: "Thank you, Marquis Liao, for not worrying about it!" Then he said to Li Tong: "Wenda, it still doesn't work, hurry up and meet the lord!"

As soon as Li Tong heard Cheng Yu's words, without any hesitation, he knelt down on one knee and said to Li Lin, "My lord!"

Li Lin nodded with a smile. At that time, he really liked such a simple and straightforward person. He didn't have too many eyes. If he finds someone, he must always follow him. At least as long as Cheng Yu doesn't have second thoughts about him, this kid is worthy of trust. Li Lin stretched out his hand and said, "General, hurry up and get up!"

Smiling as Li Tong stood up, Li Lin looked at Xu Miao. Xu Miao had already understood what Li Lin meant. It turned out that Li Lin was going to rely on Cheng Yu to deal with Liu Yu. Cheng Yu's ruthlessness Yu Duozhi, who is also famous, is indeed a very suitable candidate, but Cheng Yu simply surrendered, which made Xu Miao a little worried.

Li Lin looked at Xu Miao's eyes, then said to Cheng Yu, "Master Shangshu..."

Cheng Yu interrupted Li Lin and said: "My lord, a certain is under the command of the lord, just call me Zhongde directly!"

Li Lin nodded, and said: "Okay! Zhongde, since you have joined under the command of XX, of course, you have to work for XX, so..."

"My lord!" Cheng Yu once interrupted Li Lin and said, "My lord, although I have joined the Daoist lord, Duke Cao treated me well during his lifetime, so I hope..."

Li Lin waved his hand and said: "Hehe, I know Zhong De's thoughts, Zhong De can rest assured, I will never let Zhong De deal with Cao Jun!"

Zhong De immediately cupped his hands to Li Lin and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"My lord! The last general is not willing either!" Li Tong also appeared suddenly, and Li Lin laughed and said, "Hehe, don't worry, Wenda, you will never let you deal with the old master when you wait for Cao Jun to surrender!" Li Tong Lin also thought in his heart, hmph, if another Zhu Ling came out and let him go, if Hou Yu didn't kill him on his own initiative, as long as Cao Cao didn't die, Cheng Yu and Li Tong would agree so happily Follow yourself, hum!joke!It is safest to drop you all to the rear and replace the front line with your old brothers!
Li Lin then said to Cheng Yu and Li Tong: "Show me the form now, make Zhongde the Jizhou Shepherd, Yehou, and General Li Tong the Dianjun Zhonglang General!"

"This!" Before Cheng Yu and Li Tong responded, Xu Miao was surprised and said, "My lord, this..." Xu Miao looked at Li Lin and didn't continue. Yu's power is too great, a person who has just surrendered, even gave it to a Jizhou Mu. After all, Jizhou still has Liu He's territory, does Li Lin trust Cheng Yu and Li Tong too much?

Li Lin smiled and said: "Hehe, Jingshan, I know what you think, but how can Zhong De not know what you and I think? Say yes, Zhong De!"

Cheng Yu was really surprised that Li Lin knew so much about what he said. Cheng Yu didn't expect that Li Lin would directly let him be the shepherd of Jizhou, and he would directly push himself to a very important position. Let's see Li Lin again Xu Miao directly expressed his distrust to himself, and was even more surprised, muttering in his heart, "This Li Yuanjie is indeed a strange person. Could this be his art of manipulating people?"

Although he knew that Li Lin might be doing this for himself, Cheng Yu was still very moved, and immediately said: "My lord, the lord has just surrendered, and the lord entrusts me with a heavy responsibility. It is normal for the lord to not trust me, so... ..."

"Hey..." Li Lin stopped Cheng Yu and said, "Zhongde, you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to be suspicious about employing people. Besides, the person who can control the situation in Jizhou under a certain company is none other than Zhongde. Tell Zhongde the truth. , Before Zhongde came, I thought of Zhongde, hehe..."

Cheng Yu glanced at Li Lin in astonishment, admiring Li Lin for being so frank with him, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Minister, take orders, and I will serve you with death!"

Li Tong has always been Cheng Yu's leader, not for anything else. In a complex camp like Cao Cao, Li Tong has always been full of respect for Cheng Yu, and after Cheng Yu led Li Tong to fight several times, Li Tong I know directly that even if I don't follow Cao Cao, I have to follow Cheng Yu, so at the beginning, when I heard that Cheng Yu was staying in Xuchang, I immediately asked for orders to stay in Xuchang, Xuchang was destroyed, Cheng Yu decided to take refuge in Li Lin, and told himself After hearing this, Li Tong was even more excited. What does this mean? It means that Cheng Yu also regards himself as one of his own. He has nothing to say. He immediately agreed to Cheng Yu and came to meet with Cheng Yu Li Lin.

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Li Tong cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Li Lin smiled and said: "Hehe, good! But Zhongde, I can't help reminding Zhongde that the form of Jizhou may not be very clear to you. It is normal for Jingshan to hesitate just now. Jizhou, the four northern counties, It was in the hands of someone, and Wei County in the south was fighting Cao Cao... um! When Duke Cao was fighting, a certain army took it back, and a certain person was Liu He's guest general, so Wei County should have been returned to him , but in order to prevent the back road from being cut off after going south, he sent General Tian Yu to lead [-] Youliao troops to stay in Weijun, but did not return it to Liu He. Therefore, this Weijun, Jijun in the north, Guangping, In Yangping, Qinghe and other places, Liu He's people are still staying behind!"
