Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

The man called Zhuzi stopped moving his hands.

"It does look suspicious. Every time a soldier patrolling the city passes by, I'll be cautious when I see him. Otherwise, I'll talk to Father Zhang tomorrow and ask him to report to the military master above."

"Well, that's all it takes."

The two talked again, and then lay down to sleep.

Xiapi City also gradually quieted down as night fell.

However, at the Lu Bu army station tens of kilometers away from Xiapi, some people took advantage of the moonlight to escape from the city.

The person who escaped first seemed to be some kind of signal, and after him, people escaped from the city one after another.

It didn't take long for more than a thousand people to escape one after another. Just when Cao Jun was about to go to receive these surrendered soldiers, the city gate suddenly opened, scaring Cao Jun to quickly return to the army formation, for fear that Lu Bu would come out of the city.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

When Cao Jun gradually lost his patience, a man with mischievous eyebrows looked out and seemed to beckon.

Then people came out of the city gate one after another, and the city gate was completely opened, and a painted halberd was thrown in front of the city gate

"We surrender, Prime Minister, we surrender!"

"Welcome the Prime Minister to enter the city!"

Shouts came and went, wave after wave.

Soon Liu Bei was also alarmed by the shout, and got up to the high ground to check the movements of Lu Bu's army.

When Liu Bei saw that the city gate was wide open, and even the weapon used by Lu Bu had been thrown at the gate, his whole body froze in horror.

"This... this, what's going on here?"

Liu Bei looked around in a daze, but luckily Jian Yong hurried over while buttoning his buttons not far away.

"My lord, what's the matter..."

Before Jian Yong could finish speaking, he saw that the city gate on Lu Bu's side was wide open, and someone was shouting repeatedly to surrender to Cao Cao.

"This……"

Just as Jian Yong wanted to ask something, he immediately recalled Liu Bei's behavior when he first came here.

Swallowing the half-answered question back to his stomach, he began to think hard.

At this time, the previous scenes played back in Jian Yong's mind, and suddenly he grasped the key to the matter.

"My lord, I understand."

"Why?"

Liu Bei remained the same, with a dazed expression on his face.

"My lord, do you still remember those big cakes Cao Jun threw into the city two days ago?"

"I remember it, what does Xianhe mean by this?"

"My lord, it's not just a big cake, I believe there should be a letter of persuasion in the big cake."

"A letter of persuasion?"

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

"The person who came up with this plan is really clever. If the Lord has the opportunity, he can get in touch with one or two. If he can use it for himself, the world can take it away."

Liu Bei didn't expect that Jian Yong had such a high opinion of the person who made this plan, and even asked him to openly poach Cao Cao's corner.

Liu Bei knew Jian Yong well. Although Jian Yong was usually arrogant, he was not arrogant.

Of course, this is also related to Liu Bei's feelings for Jian Yong. Liu Bei has always regarded Jian Yong as his brother, and there has never been a distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Liu Bei nodded to show that he had written it down, and then asked Jian Yong about the strategy.

"Your lord, I know why Cao Jun chose to use big cakes to bring in the letter of persuasion instead of shooting it in with arrows. Isn't that simpler."

"Yeah, why?"

At this time, Liu Bei was like a fan.

"There are two reasons for using big cakes. One is to attract enough attention to the Lu Bu soldiers who lack food and grass. It even triggers discussions among soldiers to achieve the purpose of further dissemination."

"Secondly, if these big cakes are discovered by the officers of the Lu Bu army, they will definitely control and even rob them in order to stabilize the soldiers. But at this time, the Lu Bu army may only have one meal a day, and robbing the soldiers of the big cakes is tantamount to increasing the soldiers' rebellion. Determination."

"This strategy not only achieved the purpose of spreading widely, but also caused conflicts among the sergeants. Even after eating a big meal, I became even more dissatisfied with Lu Bu who made the soldiers hungry. It kills three birds with one stone. I am not as good as also."

After listening to Jian Yong's explanation, Liu Bei took it for granted: "Then let's meet the person who offered advice."

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already come behind Liu Bei, so they followed Liu Bei to the city where Lu Bu was.

Cao Cao was already ready when he learned that the persuasion letter was effective and the city gate was opened to wait for Cao Cao to enter the city.

When Liu Bei and others came down, Cao Cao had already brought a group of civil and military soldiers to the gate of the city.

The two groups of people first saw Fang Tian's painted halberd thrown in front of the city gate. The number of famous generals who died under this weapon was thrown into the mud at this time, which is really embarrassing.

But everyone didn't feel too much emotion, and soon the attention of both parties was on each other.

The characteristics of Liu Guanzhang and the three were very obvious, and Han Ze quickly identified a few of them.

The one with long ears and drooping shoulders is Liu Bei.

The one with the red face, the green robe, and the beard must be Guan Yu.

As for Zhang Fei, he should be the big black man with the beard.

When Han Ze was observing the three of them, Cao Cao also noticed Guan Yu and couldn't help sighing.

"Guan Yu is a dragon and phoenix among men. I have coveted him for a long time. If he can join me, it will be even more powerful."

Seeing that Cao Cao admired Guan Yu so much, the other generals also looked opposite.

Some people shook their heads, some sighed, and some said indignantly that they would definitely fight Guan Yu if they had the chance, so that the lord could know his own ability.

Han Ze pouted when he heard Cao Cao's words and those discussions.

[What do you want him to do, send horses and equipment, and then send people away thousands of miles away? 】

What is thousands of miles away?
Cao Cao wanted to turn around and beat Han Ze, but he had no reason to do so, so he gave up.

[Besides, he is a brother, how could he help you conquer the world without his brother.Let you become the emperor, they are at most the founding generals.If my brother becomes the emperor, maybe he will become a king with an iron hat. 】

Cao Cao's heart twitched, this kid is too bold.

Even I don't dare to think of replacing the emperor, Taining actually... Is it possible that I, Cao Cao, really have the appearance of the emperor?
[What do you want to do with the shadowless thing? It's better to treat Zhang Liao well and train Wen Yuan to be a confidant.He has force, control, and brains, so what can he do. 】

Han Ze's complaints kept ringing in Cao Cao's mind, and all kinds of whimsical ideas completely diverted Cao Cao's original attention from Guan Yu.

At this time, several figures walked out from the city gate, and Zhang Liao suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Isn't this Song Xian?"

Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Liao, laughed loudly and said, "Wen Yuan knows this person?"

"Yes, it's the same robe from the past."

"Since we are comrades, we are brothers, Wen Yuan can be included in your army."

Zhang Liao was immediately overjoyed. Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao 8000 men when he just surrendered, and now he allows Zhang Liao to choose his own generals. This is a great trust.

It made Zhang Liao more sure that surrender was the right choice, and it also relieved Zhang Liao's guilt for persuading him to surrender.

Then, Cao Cao entered the city, and Liu Bei also entered the city gate.

After looking at each other, the two began to brag about each other's business.

Cao Cao praised Liu Bei for responding to the emperor's edict, but it was the humerus of the great man.

Liu Bei praised Cao Cao for his benevolence, righteousness and credit, and he is a hero in the world.

While they were boasting to each other, the owners were secretly looking at the counselors and generals behind each other.

After exchanging blows for a while, everyone came to Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu was no longer as heroic as before.

Seeing Zhang Liao among the crowd, he cursed bitterly: "Zhang Wenyuan, how shameless you are to sell your master for glory!"
