Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 12 Cai Hao and Zhang Yun are willing to serve as prime minister! ! !

Xiangyang City.

In Cai Mao's mansion, Zhang Yun hurried over and asked when they met: "Degui, why did you call me in such a hurry?"

Cai Hao grabbed Zhang Yun's hand and walked towards the backyard, whispering: "Cao Cao sent someone here!"

Zhang Yun was surprised: "How did you say that?"

"Didn't I ask you to come just after the emissary arrived? Let's go see him together!"

Soon the two came to the study room in the backyard. At this time, a middle-aged man was standing in the study room. Although he was just a secret envoy, he also held his head high and had an extraordinary air.

"I've seen General Cai and General Zhang!"

When the emissary saw the two coming, he immediately bowed his hands.

Cai Mao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did the Prime Minister send you here?"

The secret envoy smiled slightly, took out the bamboo slips from his arms and said, "I am here to deliver a 'secret message' for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister also asked me to bring it to you two."

Zhang Yun stepped forward to take the secret letter, checked it out, and found that it was a letter of persuasion to surrender.

"Let us surrender?" He frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.

You must know that Liu Biao is seriously ill now, and the military power in Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Zhang Yun and Cai Mao. They are like local emperors in Jingzhou. Why should they submit to Cao Cao?
  But the secret envoy was not afraid at all. He cupped his hands upwards, cleared his throat and said, "The Prime Minister asked me to tell you that surrender is the only way out!"

"Now that Prime Minister Cao is leading an army of 500,000 people southward, everyone will surrender. Those who blindly try to resist the Prime Minister will die. How many people in this world can compete with the Prime Minister? General Cai, General Zhang, you two How is it compared to Yuan Shao?"

It was after Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao that he became the number one prince in the world, and he was also the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He used the emperor to control the princes, and his momentum reached its peak.

Cai Hao and Zhang Yun are just nouveau riche, so naturally they are not as good as Yuan Shao, who was the fourth generation and the third Duke.

Yuan Shao, who was as powerful as Yuan Shao, was destroyed. How could the two of them stop Cao's army? Moreover, they are not the only ones who have the final say in Jingzhou today, there are still many hidden dangers.

"Now the Prime Minister asked me to order the two of you to surrender. It is for the sake of the two generals. Otherwise, if you really want to go against the Prime Minister, hundreds of thousands of troops will come to the city soon. What will you do to stop our cavalry? In the end, the city will be destroyed. Just die!" The emissary suddenly raised his voice.

Zhang Yun and Cai Hao's bodies suddenly trembled, and there was a bit more fear in their eyes, which was not as tyrannical as before.

Seeing that the time had come, the emissary smiled slightly: "But if the two generals are willing to surrender, Prime Minister Cao promises that you will retain your current status and even be promoted to a higher rank. This will help you clear the obstacles and get the best of both worlds."

Cai Hao quickly asked: "Did the Prime Minister really say that?"

The emissary looked proud: "I am here on behalf of the Prime Minister, and what I said is naturally true."

"In this case, please allow the secret envoy to allow us to discuss it." Cai Mao cupped his hands, his attitude much more humble.

After having the emissary sent into the living room to wait, the two discussed it in the study.

"Degui, do you really want to surrender to Cao Cao?" Zhang Yun asked.

Cai Mao nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, Cao Cao is too powerful to resist, and he promised that after we surrender, he will still let us manage Jingzhou. In this way, we have nothing to lose."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yun nodded and said: "I think it's feasible. When the time comes, Jingzhou will still be the final decision between you and me."

One of these two men was the brother-in-law of Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, and the other was Liu Biao's nephew. However, both of them were concerned about the power in Liu Biao's hands, and it was Liu Biao's misfortune.

"It's just that Cao Cao ordered us to deal with Liu Qi, and also asked us to help hunt down Liu Bei!"

Cai Mao sighed, they wanted Jingzhou, but they didn't want to contribute, so they frowned after seeing these conditions. Zhang Yun sneered: "My uncle's health is getting worse day by day. It will be a matter of time to deal with Liu Qi. Now with Cao Cao's help, we can get twice the result with half the effort. Why not?"

"As for Liu Bei, it's just a matter of convenience."

Now Liu Bei is like a lost dog, being chased all the way. Of course they don't take Liu Bei seriously.

After all, Jingzhou also has 100,000 elite soldiers, and they are all under the control of the two of them. Chasing Liu Bei, according to them, is just a matter of convenience.

Cai Hao nodded deeply and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

So he took up a pen and wrote a letter of surrender, indicating that they were willing to act according to Cao Cao's instructions.

After handing the letter of surrender to the emissary, they also gave the emissary gold and silver and asked him to go back and say a few good words to Cao Cao. After sending the emissary away, they mobilized their troops to pursue and intercept Liu Bei. At the same time, they also prepared It is easy to deal with Liu Qi from Jiangxia.

The secret envoy kept going without stopping, but returned to Cao Cao's camp within three days and handed the letter of surrender to Cao Cao.

After reading the letter of surrender, Cao Cao was overjoyed and stood up suddenly and said: "Okay, now that Cai Hao and Zhang Yun have surrendered, the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiang are just around the corner!"

Xun You and others immediately stood up.

"Congratulations, my lord, this is also because of my lord's ingenious strategy."

Cao Cao felt even more happy and high-spirited.

In the past, Yuan Shao was destroyed to unify the north, but now if he takes Jingxiang again, two-thirds of the world will be in his hands. Who else can resist the power of Cao's army?

The ambition in his chest began to expand and spread.

That night, Cao Cao was in a good mood and seemed to have foreseen what would happen in Jingzhou, so he brought enough wine and meat and went to the kitchen.

You must know that before, except for patrolling the camp, he would hardly go to the rear of the army, but now there seems to be some kind of magic in that room, attracting him to go.

All these changes are due to a fire-headed soldier named Ye Fan!

"By the way, Xu Chu, you don't have to come with me today. Everything about Mark must be kept secret from everyone."

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment. You must know that he has never been even half a step away from Cao Cao, but at this time he could only nod and said: "I understand, lord!"

Soon, Cao Cao came to the kitchen briskly, and sure enough, he saw Ye Fan here again.

"Isn't this guy hungry? Why does he eat secretly in the kitchen every day?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he was very happy to see Mark here. This has almost become a tacit understanding between the two.

"Sir, I brought wine and meat again. After listening to what you said, I got a reward after I went back. But I don't dare to enjoy it alone. I won't give it to you."

As he spoke, he expertly placed the meat on the table, took out two bowls from where the dishes were placed, filled them with wine, and took the cooked meat out of the box, as if he had done these things many times. .

If someone who didn't know Cao Cao saw this scene, they would think that Cao Cao was a boy in a wine shop.

After doing these things, Cao Cao looked at Ye Fan, but this time Ye Fan was not as familiar as before. Instead, he was squatting on the ground, holding a branch and sketching, and seemed to be muttering. What.

Sometimes I stop and think about it, which is very fascinating.
