The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171 Are You Qualified To Negotiate Conditions?

Cao Cao is indeed in the hall.

When the city was broken, he planned to escape from Shouchun under the escort of a group of guards.

Tried several times, but was blocked by the murderous corpse.

Although Yu Jin, Li Dian and other generals opened the way, but there were too many murderous corpses to kill, so they had to retreat to the palace.

Yuan Xu arrived, right in the front yard of the palace.

Cao Cao walked back and forth quickly in the hall, all his staff and generals were watching him.

"What should I do?" Cao Cao asked everyone, "Yuan Xianxin is outside, what should I do?"

"It's the end of the road, Meng De might as well surrender." Xun Yu said: "Although Yuan Xianxin was outside, he didn't drive the murderous corpses to attack, so he should be giving Meng De a way out."

"He is giving you a way to survive." Cao Cao said annoyedly: "As long as you are willing to go out and vote for him, Yuan Xianxin will definitely make a lot of money. I am different..."

Everyone looked depressed, and no one said a word.

"Is there no way?" Cao Cao asked them, "Is there not even one who has a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

He looked at Xun You, and Xun You shook his head.

Looking at Jia Xu, Jia Xu also shook his head.

No matter whose face Cao Cao's eyes fell on, everyone would turn his face to the side.

The city of Shouchun has been broken, and there are murderous corpses everywhere in and outside the city.

Yuan Xu was outside the hall, as long as he gave the order to attack, murderous corpses would come in immediately.

Facing the murderous corpse, everyone was helpless.

At this moment, Yuan Xu's voice came from outside the hall: "Cao Mengde, you have nowhere to go, why don't you come out and talk?"

Hearing his shout, Cao Cao was full of annoyance.

He stood in the hall and replied: "What else is there to say?"

"I plan to leave a way for you to survive." Yuan Xu said, "I wonder if you want it?"

Yuan Xu actually said that he would leave him a way out, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "What are you going to do?"

"Across the hall, what do you think the two of us can talk about?" Yuan Xu asked.

Looking around at the crowd, seeing that no one objected, Cao Cao replied, "I'm talking to you outside the hall."

Although it was the end of the road, he didn't want to lose face at the last moment.

The door of the palace opened, and Cao Cao came out.

Standing far away with Yuan Tan and others, Yuan Xu's face was full of smiles: "Mr. Cao is finally willing to come out."

"I didn't expect to survive." Cao Cao said to him, "I only want to ask you for one thing when I go out to see you."

"Don't ask for anything." Yuan Xu replied, "Although you and I are enemies, I don't want to drive you to death."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked, "Are you willing to let me go?"

"Of course it's impossible!" Yuan Xu said: "You are a hero in the world, what's the difference between letting you go and letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"Then what do you want?" Cao Cao asked.

"My plan is actually very simple." Yuan Xu said: "As long as you are willing to take everyone under your command to defect, I will spare you."

"Surrender to you, and then suffer humiliation and die at your hands?" Cao Cao smiled coldly.

"Is this how you treat Zhang Xiu and others?" Yuan Xu asked him.

"Of course not." Cao Cao replied, "Zhang Xiu and I are also married..."

"Then it will be easy." Yuan Xu said: "I heard that you have many daughters under your knees. Although I am married, I have not yet taken concubines. They all marry me. Would I still kill you?"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly his thoughts changed.

Yuan Xu has only one wife, Zhen Mi, and has no heirs until now.

If you can marry one of your daughters to him, you can indeed save your life.

Cao Cao said: "You have a serious tone. Although I have several daughters under my knees, how can they all marry you?"

"Duke Cao has countless wives in his backyard, and I admire them very much." Yuan Xu replied, "I'm a lazy person. If I want to find beauties, I really don't want to do it. Since Mr. Cao's family has them, why don't you give them all to me? I have become an in-law, and I can keep my glory and wealth, so there is nothing wrong with you."

"Let me think about it." Cao Cao frowned.

If he agreed to Yuan Xu on the spot, wouldn't he be trading his daughter for his life?

Even if he survives, he will be ridiculed by the world in the future.

"What's there to think about?" Yuan Xu curled his lips: "If you don't understand, I will order the murderous corpse to kill Cao Gong on the spot, and your daughters will still belong to me. No matter what you plan, you should promise it yourself. There are many."

"How do you plan to arrange for me and the people under your command?" Cao Cao asked.

"Mr. Cao will be my master bookkeeper. From now on, he will follow me." Yuan Xu said, "As for the others, as long as they are willing to vote and perform their duties, I will never harm them."

"It's empty talk!" Cao Cao tried to get a strong guarantee from Yuan Xu if he voted for Yuan Xu.

"Cao Mengde, do you have a choice?" Yuan Xu didn't promise him anything, but just asked him: "The situation is not good enough, but you still ask me for a promise, what do you think?"

Cao Cao blushed from his choking on his words.

He was silent for a long time before he said to Yuan Xu: "I am willing to surrender!"

Cao Cao is a man who knows how to advance and retreat. He has always done things, and he is also a villain first.

Although he fought with the Yuan family for a long time, the Yuan family was almost cornered by him.

Yuan Xu, who has the soul of a time traveler in his body, has no aversion to Cao Cao.

He is willing to work, and Yuan Xu will let him live if he doesn't make any mistakes in the future.

Yuan Xu winked at Sun Guan and Zang Ba.

The two knew each other, and they stepped forward to Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao, please."

Cao Cao glanced at them.

There was resentment in his eyes, obviously he felt that it was too easy for them to seek refuge with Yuan Xu.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan didn't have much contact with him.

Although he looked at them like this, he didn't feel too much guilt. After all, when he led the Qingzhou Army, Cao Cao really ignored them.

Cao Cao was taken away by Zang Ba and Sun Guan. The guards rushed into the hall and escorted all the counselors and generals gathered inside.

Yuan Xu watched as Cao Cao and his subordinates were escorted away.

A guard came behind him and reported to him: "My lord, there are people from Ye City."

"Who?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Cui Yan." The guard replied, "He said he had something important to report to the young master."

"Please come here," Yuan Xu ordered.

Not long after the guard left, he came with Cui Yan.

Cui Yan was also a counselor that Yuan Shao relied heavily on.

He is a calm person, rarely emerges on weekdays, and is also very popular in Hebei.

When he came to Yuan Xu, Cui Yan bowed and said, "I have met you, Young Master."

"You're not in Yecheng, what are you doing here?" Yuan Xu asked him.

"I was entrusted by Guo Fengxiao to report something to the young master." Cui Yan replied, "Gongsun Kang of Eastern Liaodong sent people to Yecheng and gave the young master a big gift."

"Gongsun Kang gave me a gift?" Yuan Xu was surprised: "What did he give?"

"Cheng Yu." Cui Yan replied, "He went to Liaodong, intending to persuade him to send troops to Hebei, but Gongsun Kang refused and escorted him to Yecheng."
