"Since I am in a desperate situation, I should regard death as my home. How about I surrender?" Facing Gao Shun's persuasion, Guan Yu laughed back angrily. In his view, Gao Shun's persuasion to surrender was an insult to himself .

"I think I'm loyal, but I don't know that the act of seeking death at this moment is really disloyal and unrighteous!" Gao Shun laughed loudly.

Guan Yu has always been proud and attaches great importance to his reputation.At this time, when he heard that Gao Shun called himself disloyal and unrighteous, Guan Yu was furious. He sneered and said, "Let's talk about it, how unfaithful and unrighteous am I?"

"The Duke is dead now, and there are three crimes." Gao Shun said loudly, "When Liu Shijun and the Duke became righteous, they swore to live and die together. Now that the King is defeated, the Duke will die in battle. If the King returns, he wants the Lord to help him. You can't get it, and it's a crime to break the oath of the past. Now Liu Shijun's family is acquired by our army, and it is a time when he is lonely and helpless. As Liu Shijun's younger brother, he is the uncle of the second wife, and he should bear the burden The responsibility of taking care, if the public dies in battle, and the second wife has nothing to rely on, then the public owes Liu Shijun's trust, and the crime is two. The public martial arts is superb, and he is familiar with classics and history. There are three crimes in going to death to achieve the courage of a man."

Guan Yu looked disapproving at first, but as Gao Shun's words gradually deepened, the cold sweat on Guan Yu's forehead grew more and more.

He had to admit that what Gao Shun said was quite reasonable.

If he dies in this battle, the oath of Taoyuan in the past will become a cloud.The two sister-in-laws were captured by Cao Jun. If he had to die rashly, what kind of miserable treatment would the two sister-in-laws receive?

Guan Yu was sweating profusely. He had only thought of dying to fulfill his loyalty.But if you think about it carefully, if you die in battle like this, is it really an act of loyalty?

Abandoning the oath of life and death together in the past, and putting the two sisters-in-law at risk, can this also be called loyalty?

"Since that's the case, what do you want me to do?" Although Guan Yu's tone was still pretending to be very tough at this time, and he didn't seem to be moved by Gao Shun's words, but Gao Shun noticed that the second master Guan's confidence at this time was gone. Not as much as before.

"Our lord Cao Mengde's soldiers are on all sides. If you don't surrender, you will die. The so-called death is useless. If you don't surrender to our lord, at the same time, ask Liu Shijun for information. Once you know where he is, you will go to him. So, The one who is male can protect the second wife, the two will not break the promise of Taoyuan, and the third can be useful. If you have these three things, you will think about it yourself." Gao Shun said eloquently.

Guan Yu fell into deep thought when he heard the words.Now that I am separated from Liu Bei, I really don't know where my elder brother will go, so I need to find out from many parties.However, although Gao Shun just said that he asked himself to find out Liu Bei's whereabouts, and once he knew Liu Bei's whereabouts, he would vote for him, but how credible are these words?Even if I only join Cao Jun temporarily, I am still in Cao Ying. When I learn of my brother's whereabouts in the future, can I really come in and out freely?

The most important thing is that Gao Shun's own opinion was just what he said, and Cao Cao probably didn't know it, which made Guan Yu feel uneasy.If I want to resign in the future, what should I do if Cao Cao evades with reasons such as "this is Gao Shun's lie, I don't know it"?

"If you want me to surrender, you must let me meet Cao Sikong to discuss it face to face." After much deliberation, I had to talk to Cao Cao in person to reassure Guan Yu.

Talk to Cao Cao personally?Gao Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously Guan Yu's request was not within his previous expectation.But after thinking about it, it's not surprising. I'm just a general under Cao Cao's account. I'm afraid Guan Yu doesn't believe that he can be the master.

Uh... In fact, I really can't make the decision myself.

Well, talk to Cao Cao and talk to Cao Cao.After regaining Xuzhou, Gao Shunsui asked Guan Yu to go with him to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao and discuss surrender.

Liu Bei's two wives were both in the army, and it was expected that Guan Yu would not do anything on the way, so Gao Shun did not do anything to restrict their freedom, such as binding them, but treated them with the utmost courtesy.

Xiahou Dun felt a little unhappy about this. When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun fought each other earlier, and both lost, Xiahou Dun made a vow to never die with Guan Yu.It's just that Zhao Yun, the person involved, didn't say anything, and he couldn't express his objection clearly. Moreover, if Guan Yu was really willing to surrender, it would be a great thing for Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun still clearly distinguishes between personal enmity and justice, so he didn't go out of his way to trouble Guan Yu.

And Cao Cao also received Gao Shun's letter early, and learned the specific content of his conversation with Guan Yu.Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed about this, and he hoped to get Guan Yu!That's Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang!Although his subordinates already have a lot of fierce generals, who would think that he has many talents, let alone a top fierce general like Guan Yu.

As for Gao Shun's words to ask Guan Yu to find out where Liu Bei is, Cao Cao can fully understand such words as soon as he finds out where Liu Bei is.The so-called improvisation, that's how negotiations should be. As long as Guan Yu can put himself in his account, he will always have the means to slowly consume his loyalty to Liu Bei.

————————————————————————————————————— "I heard that Yunchang came to vote, I am really overjoyed!" Cao Cao saw When he arrived at Guan Yu, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

I have to say that Cao Cao speaks very well. Before Guan Yu said that he would definitely surrender, Cao Cao came up with the sentence "I heard that the cloud is always here to vote", and he seized the initiative from the beginning.

Guan Yu was indeed a little depressed, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and said: "Forgive me, Sikong, Guan Yu has not said the words of surrender... and even if it is a surrender, it is only temporary... I hope Sikong will allow me three things, otherwise Guan Yu would rather die even if he bears the name of injustice."

Alas, what is so good about Liu Bei? In terms of strategy, military management, and governance, is there anything he can compare to himself?

"Which three things?" However, lamentation is lamentation, now that there is a possibility of taking Guan Yu into account, I have to try my best to fight for it.

"One, I made an oath with the emperor's uncle to help the Han family together. Now I only surrender to the Emperor of Han, not Cao Gong. Two, please give the emperor's uncle a salary to support the second sister-in-law, and Cao Yingyi should respond to the subordinates, etc. No one is allowed to come and disturb the door. The three, as long as I know Liu Huangshu's whereabouts, I will resign regardless of thousands of miles away. If one of the three is missing, Guan Yu will never surrender." Guan Yu said word by word, with an extremely serious attitude.

"Liu Bei and I are both Han officials, and you said something like surrendering to the Han Emperor. Could it be that you were rebels before?" Although Cao Cao thought so in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face.

But it's really a headache, whether it's about surrendering to Emperor Han, or supporting the second sister-in-law, these are not problems, except for the last condition, which is a bit difficult to handle.Although Cao Cao is confident, as long as he gives himself time, he will be able to win Guan Yu's heart.But the problem is, what if I agree to Guan Yu's conditions today, and tomorrow he knows Liu Bei's whereabouts and bids farewell to me, what should I do?

Back-and-forth?That's not right.

Guo Jia, who was on the side, saw through Cao Cao's thoughts and knew why he was worried, so he stepped forward and said to Guan Yu: "General Guan is righteous, and I admire him. However, what General Guan said is of no benefit to my lord. If General Guan knows tomorrow Duke Xuande has fallen and left my lord, so why should my lord accept General Guan's surrender."

"If so, I hope Sikong will treat my sister-in-law kindly. I beg you to die." Guan Yu sighed softly. What Guo Jia said was not unreasonable. From Cao Cao's position, it is estimated that he would not agree to such a condition.

It seems that he has only one death.The safety of the second sister-in-law can only be placed on Cao Cao's conscience.As for breaking the oath of Taoyuan, in the chaos of times, I am afraid there is nothing but helplessness.

"General Guan, I have a suggestion, not only whether General Guan is willing to follow it or not." Guo Jia would not pay attention to Guan Yu's words of seeking death, but he smiled slightly and said slowly, "It is the righteousness of the world for the Ming Lord to recruit good ministers. It is also for personal gain, and it is the same for a good minister to take refuge in the Ming Lord. Although the general temporarily votes for our Lord, if he does not make an inch of merit and leaves, it will be unfair to the general and not profitable to the Lord. My Lord can I promise to let the general go after the general finds Liu Xuande's whereabouts, but before that, the general must make contributions to Cao Jun."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this.What Guo Jia said meant that after Guan Yu found Liu Bei, if he had not made meritorious service, he could not leave without authorization, and he had to wait until he had made meritorious service before he could leave.

In this way, I have plenty of time, after all, military exploits are not easily obtained.During this period of time, Cao Cao had enough confidence to make Guan Yu completely return to his heart.

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and felt that this was the best proposal for both parties, so he nodded and agreed.
