Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 424
However, Zhang Song has long been sure of Wang Ping's character. He knows that a person like him who grew up with discrimination against injustice will definitely trust and protect him desperately once he decides who is good.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use strong medicine for Wang Ping's paranoia, forcing him to have no way out in order to achieve the plan in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, General, I have already voted for the Ming Lord, and I want to dedicate this Yizhou to him."

Zhang Song didn't hide it, and actually told his biggest secret so directly.

"You want to join Cao Cao, and you want to lure him into Yizhou?"

Wang Ping couldn't sit still anymore, and asked in a startled voice.

He knew that Zhang Song had recently gone to a place in Sili, and that Cao Caoxiong was so talented that he could indeed be called a rare heroic king, far from being able to compare with Liu Zhang, a mediocre lord who has a large foundation but does not know how to make progress.

"That's right, and when I was young, I traveled to various places in Yizhou. I once drew a topographic map of the mountains, rivers, rivers and rivers of Shu. Whether it is a dangerous pass or a short-cut path, it is all marked. No matter which way the princes get it, they can get the whole of Yizhou. place."

Zhang Songyu was not surprised, and continued to say something that shocked Wang Ping.

"Could it be that you have already given this map to Cao Cao?"

Wang Ping opened his eyes and his body trembled slightly, knowing that this matter was really serious.

Such a map related to the lifeline of Yizhou, if Cao Cao got it, and Zhang Song and others lobbied the civil and military officials to surrender, guide the people and soldiers to attach themselves, and guide the road into Guan and Shu. The state has changed hands, and there is no way to recover.

And Yangping Pass, which is now guarded by him, Wang Ping, is the first to bear the brunt, and will face the impact of Cao Cao's army first.

During the war, how many soldiers died on the battlefield, and how many common people were separated from their wives.

"Zhang Song, why do you have to affect the whole of Yizhou if you rebelled alone!"

Seeing that Zhang Song didn't deny it, Wang Ping finally couldn't help shouting loudly, accusing Zhang Song of being bold.

"Yizhou has long been firmly controlled by a group of vegetarian corpses. You and I have no chance. It is so different from rotten trees. How can we stand up if we don't break it? If the general really cares about the people, why don't you raise the barrier and surrender?" , it can be used as a capital to advance, and it can also keep the people safe. General, general, the life and death of the people in Yangpingguan depends on the general's thoughts."

Zhang Song was not affected by Wang Ping's questioning, but instead had a faint smile on his face, explaining to him slowly and unhurriedly.

"You want me to surrender? No, I can't disobey the general's order. Although Wang Ping doesn't sacrifice his life for Liu Zhang, he can't ignore the general's trust."

Wang Ping was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Wang Xuance's support and support for him, he immediately shook his head and said in denial.

"Think twice, general. Could it be that in the general's mind, the lives of thousands of civilians and soldiers are no match for the kindness of a king Xuance? Yes, soldiers die for their confidants, but they must live for the people. The general's decision , but it is related to the fate of many people. Besides, Cao Gong is not a man of benevolence, he is a generation of heroes with obvious ambitions. In order to win the entire Yizhou as soon as possible, the general, as his first ruler One pass, if he refuses to surrender, Cao Gong will definitely wash Yangping Pass with blood, so as to deter the civil and military forces of Shu. Once Cao Jun raises his sword, it will be extremely difficult to put it down. Could it be that the general is confident that he can resist Cao Cao Will the army’s attack succeed?”

"If the general is here, it may not be impossible!"

Wang Ping's heart was complicated, his mind was confused, and he couldn't explain what he felt.

"Wang Xuance has already gone to Nanzhong to quell the chaos. Didn't the general realize that these two events are so coincidental?"

Zhang Song smiled coldly and once again told an amazing secret.

"What do you mean, is the Southern Barbarian invasion also related to you?"

Wang Ping finally couldn't sit still anymore. Unlike Cao Cao's plan for Yizhou, the Southern Barbarians were considered a foreign race.

"As long as the general knows, it is impossible for Wang Xuance to rush back in a short time. And even if he does, it will be too late, because Duke Cao's army is now outside Yangping Pass!"

Zhang Song also stood up, pointed at the sky and mountains outside the door and said loudly.

"So that's the case. I also wondered how you, a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, could be so bold and confident, and came forward alone to say that you surrendered to me. It turned out that Cao Cao's army had secretly surrounded him long ago."

Wang Ping couldn't help laughing bitterly, and finally knew that Yangping Pass could not be held no matter what.

Moreover, he also knew that Cao Cao's subordinates were able to come out in large numbers, even if Wang Xuance was here, even relying on natural dangers might not be able to stop Cao Cao's elite soldiers.

"It seems that I have no other way out. The life and death of the family members has nothing to do with me, but I cannot be indifferent to the life and death of innocent people. General, Wang Ping has let you down."

Wang Ping bowed to the distance, his eyes became firm, and he gradually made the best decision in his heart.

"He who understands current affairs is a hero, the general Xiaoyi is sensible, and will definitely be reused by Duke Cao in the future."

Zhang Song finally showed a relieved smile. Although he was sure about convincing a paranoid person like Wang Ping, he did not dare to speak out.

Wang Ping also knew that Zhang Song was telling the truth. In order to take Yizhou as soon as possible, Cao Cao, the defender of the first pass, would bloody suppress him if he resisted desperately, and reward him generously if he surrendered.

Without him, it is just to let the people behind know how to choose.

Wang Ping smiled without any emotion. There was no joy or lightness in his voice, but an indescribable fatigue. He said, "I hope so."

"Lord, there is finally news from Yizhou."

At Liu Xie's mansion in Chenliu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came hand in hand, holding a secret letter just sent by Xuan Jing Division in their hands, the wax seal is intact and has not been opened.

"Quickly open it and see, what exactly is Cao Cao planning for Yizhou?"

Liu Xie didn't take it over to check it himself, but asked Guo Jia to open the envelope.

"Zhang Song entered the pass, Yangping fell, and the guard, Wang Ping, raised the pass and surrendered, and committed suicide."

The content of the letter was very short, Guo Jia read it all at a glance, and read it quickly.

"It's strange. Since Wang Ping has surrendered, Cao Cao will definitely reward him countless times. Why did he commit suicide instead?"

Guo Jia was a little confused, even if he was as smart as he was, he couldn't figure it out.

Jia Xu also frowned and said: "Cao Cao wants to use him as an example of surrender, so he will definitely not harm him secretly. I am afraid that Wang Ping has some unavoidable reasons. After choosing to surrender out of concern for the safety of the people, he wants to What to say with death."

Liu Xie was also silent. Wang Ping's death was not important to him. What he was more worried about was that Cao Cao moved so quickly and had already opened the gate of Shu. Will Zhuge Liang and the others still have time?
