Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 591
"General Zhang came at the right time, so let's set off for Xiangyang." Yuan Tan said with a smile.

Zhang Yun was also very happy. Long before, he had written to Yuan Tan, wanting to surrender, but Yuan Tan hadn't replied to his letter for a long time, so he had to get some bargaining chips, otherwise how could he trust him, so he wrote another letter Feng, offering this strategy, hoping that Yuan Tan can accept him.

When he heard that Yuan Tan's solitary army came to Jingxiang, he knew that Yuan Tan had agreed to his allegiance, so he took the time to contact the old Jingzhou department in the city, and he arranged the people who went to see Cai Mao every day.

This time, only with the addition of Cai Mao, one hundred thousand soldiers in Jingxiang can be squeezed into their hands, and they also know Cai Hao too well. Cai Mao came to agree to the rebellion in the middle of the night when he met Cai Hao.

Therefore, the two are also in harmony with each other, and they have a good location. Now there is a bad time, a good time given to them by God, but who would have thought that it was Cao Pi who gave them this time. When Cao Pi left the city, he took half of the Cao army with him. After going out, there are still no generals in the city, so this is the best opportunity for the two of them.

He also took the opportunity to capture Xiangyang City, and Zhang Yun told Cai Mao that he was afraid that Yuan Tan would lose, so he led troops out to help.

In fact, the main purpose is to go to Yuan Tan to show his merits one step ahead.

Yuan Tan also led the people directly to Xiangyang City, and Cai Mao has been waiting at the gate of the city.

Now all Cao Cao's forces in Xiangyang City have been cleared out by Cai Mao, and all the ministers have also been imprisoned by Cai Mao, waiting for Yuan Tan to come and deal with them.

However, when Yuan Tan arrived in front of Xiangyang Gate, Cai Mao led the crowd to bow down and held up the Jingzhou Pastoral Seal in his hands.

The destruction of Xiangyang City is all due to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Now when Yuan Tan sees Cai Mao again, he thinks of the way Cai Mao was crying in front of him before, and now he is kneeling in front of his horse and bowing his head before his horse, this Cai Mao looks like a clown.

At this moment, Cai Mao was also trembling, thinking that he had also contributed to the city, so Yuan Tan probably wouldn't kill him either.

Yuan Tan got off his horse with a smile on his face, helped Cai Mao who was leaning over his horse, and said with relief: "General Cai is so understanding of righteousness that he sacrificed the city of Xiangyang. The knife and the sword are really the first merit."

Cai Hao was also surprised. After all, this was done by Zhang Yun and himself, but now Yuan Tan gave all the credit to himself in front of everyone. What is the meaning of this?
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Cai Mao's talent?
Cai Mao stared in a daze and was helped up, even forgetting to say a few words to Yuan Tan.

Zhang Yun on the side was a little unconvinced, this time Yuan Tan didn't say a word about his credit, but now he gave all the credit to Cai Mao.

But even though he was dissatisfied, he was now under Yuan Tan's subordinates, so he dared not show any reluctance.

Seeing Yuan Tan help Cai Mao up, he walked towards the city of Xiangyang alone, leaving Cai Mao alone outside the city gate in a daze.

Zhang Yun said congratulations to Cai Mao: "General Cai is so favored by the lord, and he is the first to offer the city here. I'm afraid the future is boundless."

Cai Mao also knew that if Zhang Yun hadn't proposed this time, he would never have done it. Now from Zhang Yun's thanks, a fool can hear the jealousy in it.

"General Zhang doesn't need to be like this. The credit for this time is due to the two of us. I am afraid that the lord will not know it, so I will give it to me. Wait for me to go and explain." Cai Mao wanted to set off to catch up with Yuan Tan, but was caught by Zhang Yun. hold on.

"No need, I just hope that General Cai will not forget that I fought side by side with you." After Zhang Yun said that, he left first.

This is when Cai Hao also discovered that he seemed to be overcome by this Yuan Tan Tian, ​​and every time he met him, nothing good happened.

After entering Xiangyang City, Yuan Tan didn't rush to go to the inner mansion first.

Hearing that Cai Mao imprisoned all the family members of Cao Cao's counselors, he just wanted to see what the ministers behind the scenes who assisted this generation of heroes looked like.

At this moment, the Xiangyang Prison was completely full, all Yuan Tan could hear were crying and cursing along the way.

Therefore, the arrangements were well made, Cao Cao's several great counselors were all in one place, but at the moment they all looked haggard and slightly worried.

"Wen He, we have all been captured this time, I don't know how Yuan Tan treats us." Cheng Yu sighed to Jia Xu.

"Since ancient times, the king and the enemy have been defeated, and now he is a prisoner when he is defeated. Why do he think about those useless things? At most, he will die." Jia Xu said.

"That day, I realized that Yuan Tan must have some treacherous scheme, and now it seems to be true." Cheng Yu said.

"It's useless to say anything at this time, let's save some strength." Jia Xu said.

"You guys are so elegant, you can calm down here." Yuan Tan also arrived in front of the prison where the counselors were held at this time.

Everyone in the prison looked over and guessed the identity of this person.

"Isn't Qi Hou also in a good mood, and he came to this dirty place. Could it be that he just wanted to see how embarrassed we are?" Jia Xu closed his eyes and said.

Yuan Tan also glanced at Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "Words and words are serious. Although I am not a gentleman, I am not the kind of person who will make trouble. I just come here today..."

"If you persuade him to surrender, let's just leave it at that. The so-called loyal ministers don't serve the second lord. As a minister of Cao, we won't find another new lord." Cheng Yu couldn't hold back, and directly interrupted Yuan Tan's words.

However, Yuan Tan was not angry, and went on to say: "I asked Zhong De earlier, he is a loyal person, but I saw it today. I have the intention to ask you to join me, but I am not trying to persuade you to surrender. I came here today just to inform you." Everyone, if you want to serve under my command, you can, if you don’t want to, then you can leave. I will definitely not imprison you.”

Jia Xu opened his eyes at this moment: "Is what Qihou said true?"

Yuan Tan smiled: "How can a man backtrack on his word, everyone make up their own minds, if you want to go elsewhere, then we will see you on the battlefield tomorrow."

After saying that, Yuan Tan also left.

The prison door opened, and everyone was released, but at this moment, everyone was very puzzled, and everyone left one after another.

Jia Xu still stayed here, Cheng Yu came over and asked, "Why didn't Wen He leave?"

But Jia Xu looked at the sky and said, "I'm thinking about Wen Ruo now."

Cheng Yu was also in deep thought.

After Yuan Tan came out of the prison, he went to the city lord's mansion in Xiangyang City. At this moment, the following are all the surrenders of the old Jingzhou tribe.

Seeing Yuan Tan at this moment, everyone felt apprehensive, deeply afraid that Yuan Tan would be the second Cao Cao.

But they really underestimated Yuan Tan's magnanimity. Not only did Yuan Tan not take back the military power of the people, but he also distributed all the counties and counties in Jingzhou to the people and let them take care of themselves.

Everyone was also grateful to Xie De, and stated on the spot that they would swear allegiance to the death.

Is Yuan Tan really not worried about these people?
No, Jingzhou also fell into his hands at this time, Xiangyang City, and its subordinate counties were only in the hands of the remaining troops of Cao Cao and Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

What Yuan Tan gave them was just a name. As for the real power, they still need to fight for it themselves. After recovering all parts of Jingzhou, they still don't belong to them, so let's talk about it.
