Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 105 Strong Lord and Heroic Lord
But He Yan didn't give Zhang Yun a chance to explode.

At least, not bursting out at myself.

He Yan, who was still in a heated tone just now, suddenly softened: "General Zhang must have understood that whoever is Sangong is not a traitor. The so-called traitors also have to be divided."

"You say that Dong Zhuo is a traitor and Sikong is a traitor, but how can you know... Yuan Shao is not a traitor?"

Zhang He's eyes widened: "Stop slandering Duke Yuan!"

"Whether it is slander, you and I both know!"

At this time, He Yan handed over the knot in his hand to Liu Ye, and took half a step forward with his hands behind his back——

"General Zhang, Ming people don't speak dark words. Ask yourself, even if Yuan Shao wins Sikong and welcomes the emperor back...but can he tolerate the emperor?"

"A person who can't even tolerate his own brother, how dare you ask him to tolerate the emperor above him!"

As soon as He Yan's words came out, Zhang Xi felt a little guilty.

It wasn't Yuan Shao's problem, it was really the first time that someone dared to speak out in public about the issue of "the collapse of the Han Dynasty".

Even if ordinary people say it, they should have a taste of it with their close friends in private. How can He Yan shout like this in the enemy's barracks?

But He Yan didn't finish, and continued his output: "General Zhang should know better than me what kind of person Yuan Benchu ​​is! I don't need to repeat how much he values ​​authority!"

"Not to mention anything else... What is General Zhang's own situation in Yuan Shao's place?"

Zhang Yun finally looked squarely at He Yan: "Dare to ask, what is my situation like?"

He Yan didn't respond in a hurry, but saluted Zhang Yun again.

"It was just now that I visited General Zhang as an envoy from the Han Dynasty, but now I am the one who came to visit General Zhang myself."

He Yan straightened his chest and made himself as tall as possible: "I am the Marquis Shen of the Han! I came here to pay a special visit!"

"The reason why I, a man who has not reached the crown, came to meet General Zhang is not because I have a contemptuous heart, but because I am the only one with the highest title and the most important status in the entire Guandu camp! General Zhang thought it was a big man. The County Marquis came to visit, is this considered to be humiliating General Zhang?"

County Marquis?

Or Shenhou of Wanhu?
Zhang He naturally knew who the previous Marquis Shen was, and adding He Yan's surname, he couldn't help but be close: "Are you the heir of the former general He Jin?"

"Exactly."

He Yan raised his chin: "But it is indeed the great man Shenhou today."

Zhang He's attitude was a little relaxed at this time.

When he saw He Yan was so young before, he really thought that the people in Cao Ying were belittling him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Then who is this?"

Liu Ye invited Yan Jie aside, then bowed his hands to Zhang He: "Huainan Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang."

"So you are Liu Ye!"

Zhang He didn't know He Yan, but he knew Liu Ye.

Not to mention Liu Ye's status as the "big Han clan", the thunderbolt car he invented before caused Yuan Jun, including Zhang He, to suffer a lot.

A big man with tens of thousands of households.

A descendant of the Han dynasty.

These two people came to pay a visit, so naturally they couldn't speak of contempt for Zhang He.

Zhang He took a deep breath and finally seated He Yan and Liu Ye.

At this time, Zhang Yun's attitude was much better, and the previous conversation with He Yan also changed from questioning to asking questions——

"Just now what Marquis Shen said... about my situation? What does this mean?"

He Yan seemed to think about the words for a while, and then slowly said: "General Zhang's situation is all due to Yuan Shaonai's strong leader!"

"Yuan Shao escaped from Dong Zhuona to Luoyang, just like when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou."

"Even if it wasn't for Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others, Yuan Shao would not even have a place to stand!"

"However, Yuan Shao, a powerful ruler like Liu Biao and Tao Qian, would rely entirely on the local nobles and be a controlled governor like Liu Biao and Tao Qian?"

"What he wants to do is state shepherd! He is a shepherd who can truly shepherd the state, county, and even the world!"

"It's also because of this that he connected his forces to compete with the big families in Hebei, and wanted to fulfill his ambition."

"..."

He Yan looked at Zhang Yun: "This is the power of a strong lord. General Zhang, as a Hebei native, will not fail to understand."

Zhang He remained silent from the beginning to the end, allowing He Yan to speak impassionedly.

"By the way, General Zhang is here to attack our camp, so he must not be very happy, right?"

"After all, now that Sikong is going to Wuchao with all his eggs in one basket, it is not difficult to see that with a general like General Zhang, as long as he repels Sikong who is in Wuchao, and then sends a group of cavalry to ambush on the road from Wuchao to Guandu, it will be easy. To win, why come to Guandu to fight to the death?"

"But General Zhang is still here."

"Not only came, but also brought tens of thousands of elites under his command!"

"This kind of thing is not something that General Zhang can do. Could it be... what's hidden in it?"

Zhang Yun looked at He Yan in surprise.

Of course there are secrets!
But this is definitely not something He Yan should know.

He Yan chased after the victory and continued to torture: "General Zhang doesn't have to guess how I know, after all, the conflict between you and Guo Tu and others has long been known to the world."

"What I want to ask is, is General Zhang really willing?"

"There was Yan Liang Wenchou before, and Han Xun Mayan later."

"If Yuan Shao really worked together sincerely, with their abilities, would they really die in battle?"

"The most important thing is—they can die on the battlefield anyway, but what about you, General Zhang?"

"If you win, the credit should not fall on you."

"But if we lose, with the nature of Guo Tu's gang, even if they die, they will drag a few people into the water!"

"Even if a generation of generals in the Ning Kingdom cannot be shrouded in horse leather, they should not die at the hands of villains!"

"General Zhang! If General Zhang doesn't listen to this sincere statement, then He Yan can only leave."

Click till.

He Yan didn't provoke Zhang Yun any more, but instead left him enough time for him to think.

After a long time, Zhang He exhaled a foul breath——

He didn't ask He Yan and Yuan Shao what was going on here, but asked about Cao Cao.

"Marquis Shen said just now that Duke Yuan is a strong lord, so isn't Cao Cao?"

"Since his rise to the present, what Cao Gong has done is much more ruthless than Yuan Gong!"

He Yan shook his head: "Of course it's different!"

"Yuan Shao is the strong lord, but Sikong is the heroic lord!"

Zhang He asked again: "What is a strong lord? What is a heroic lord?"

"Those who are strong masters use their strength to pretend to be benevolent!"

"Heroic masters practice benevolence with virtue!"

"What is a hypocritical benevolent person?"

"Those who obey me will prosper, those who go against me will perish."

"What is a person who acts with virtue and benevolence?"

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"

"Is this considered benevolence?"

"Of course it's Ren!"

He Yan looked directly at Zhang He: "A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes soil; a gentleman cherishes punishment, and a villain cherishes benefits. Therefore, we must be far from villains and approach gentlemen. Only in this way can we call it the benevolent invincible!"
