"Master, if this continues, the men may not be able to hold on for too long."

A military general standing behind Zhong Yao couldn't help but whisper: "Yesterday someone started killing horses to satisfy his hunger, and it's probably not long before the men will completely collapse. The most urgent task is to have two ways. While everyone is still a little bit angry, they will rush out to death. Even if they die in the battlefield, it's better to be worried all day long, and even have to open one eye when they sleep. If this continues, there will be a dead end."

Yang Wei has a very awesome word called Boyue.

He was from Xiangwu, Longxi and once served under Dong Zhuo's account.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue was quite fond of him as a general in the Western Liang army.

This guy is very famous in Xiliang. When he was young, he led more than a hundred Xiangwu young men and defeated thousands of horse thieves. Therefore, he was known as "Yang Wudi" in Xiliang. However, as Huaxiong Xu Rong and Lu Bu participated in Dong Zhuo one after another, Yang Wei did not dare to use the name "Invincible".

He is a smart man, and the nickname "Invincible" is really a bit of hatred.

At that time, there were many arrogant soldiers and generals under Dong Zhuo's escorts. Whether it was Lu Bu or Hua Xiong Xu Rong and Wei Yue, which one was not arrogant?

However, it can also be seen from this that Yang Wei still had a great status in the Xiliang army... After Li Jue recruited Yang Wei, this guy resisted Lu Bu for twenty rounds under Chang'an City, and finally drove Lu Bu away with the help of others with the advantage of numbers.

After this battle, Yang Wei became famous.

However, with Li Jue and Guo Si turning against each other, the Western Liang army no longer had its majesty.

Especially after Emperor Han returned to the east, Yang Wei became more and more dissatisfied with Li Jue... It was at this time that Zhong Yao was ordered to serve as the Sili Captain to appease Li Jue. Zhong Yao had a good vision and immediately discovered Yang Wei's existence. Since then, he often communicated letters with Yang Wei and asked about his well-being, which made Yang Wei very grateful. After Li Jue's death, Yang Wei surrendered to Zhong Yao and helped Zhong Yao quell the bandits in Guanzhong.

From this perspective, Yang Wei can be regarded as the confidant around Zhong Yao.

But what he said now made Zhong Yao smile bitterly.

"Bojo, do you think the men still have the determination to die?"

If they were trapped in Baibo Valley at the beginning, these Cao army soldiers might be able to do something to death. But now... they have been trapped for more than ten days, without food or drink, and they are hungry, with pale faces and thin skin. They are not full of food. How can they get the fighting spirit? Although Yang Wei said this, he actually doesn't have the confidence. After hearing Zhong Yao's questioning, Yang Wei grinned and closed his mouth.

No one said the second way he and Zhong Yao.

In fact, whether it is Zhong Yao or Yang Wei, everyone knows that the second way is the right choice.

But neither of them wanted to say it, and the reason was extremely complicated...

Let the uncle surrender to his nephew?

Zhong Yao really couldn't stand it.

When Liu Chuang fled Xudu, Zhong Yao said to Liu Chuang with a ruthless attitude: When we meet again, I will never show mercy.

But who would have expected that... the little guy who fled in a panic back then has now risen to the northern border and has become a overlord who can compete with Cao Cao. At that time, the princes who were dominant at that time, Liu Biao defended Jingzhou without any intention of progress; Sun Ce was killed by someone and had already returned to the nine springs. Yuan Shao's huge foundation has disappeared. The remaining Liu Bei was as anxious as a dog who was stranded and was living under someone's roof.

Sometimes, Zhong Yao really wants to sigh at the impermanence of this fate.

Of course. In addition to surrendering to Liu Chuang, Zhong Yao had another choice, which was to commit suicide.

But who is Zhong Yao?

He is a cunning person who can seek profit and avoid harm. How can he be loyal to Cao Cao? He is waiting for an opportunity. Liu Chuang gives him a chance to go down the stage.

Moreover, Zhong Yao also believed that Xun Chen would never kill him.

At this moment, a small school came to report, "A letter was sent out of the valley, inviting the servants to go to Fenshui Pavilion to meet tomorrow morning."

Zhong Yao discovered that when the school reported, he had expectations in his eyes.

In other words, he also wanted Zhong Yao to go to the banquet.

By this time, the situation outside has been cut off, and no one knows the result of the showdown between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao. Everyone is looking forward to the end of the battle as soon as possible. Surrender, surrender. Being able to have a hot meal first is more cost-effective than anything else.

The morale of the army has been disintegrated!

Zhong Yao sighed in his heart. Although he had never received the letter, he knew who wrote it.

"Reply to the past, I will go to the appointment on time tomorrow."

"Here!"

Seeing the little school running happily to reply, Zhong Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Bojo, people's minds are surrendering... How can they break through in this situation?"

Yang Wei looked embarrassed and said quickly: "I didn't think well, but I almost ruined everyone's life."

Zhong Yao sighed and straightened his chest.

"Well, I will die, and I will seek a lifelong journey for everyone.

I believe my friend wouldn't force me too much...Boe, go back and prepare, and follow me to the appointment tomorrow morning."

Yang Wei was immediately delighted, but a solemn expression appeared on his face, "The Lord of the Mansion endured humiliation, why should Wei cherish this body?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Neither of the two old foxes were that stupid person.

Yang Wei knew that Zhong Yao needed a step. And didn’t he hope to take this opportunity to have a good boss?

Everyone knows what's going on. But they still have to show enough momentum on their face, which can be considered as safeguarding their face.

The next day, Zhong and Yang took a team to the entrance of Baibo Valley.

The Han army had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Zhong Yao and Yang Wei arrive, the two generals had been waiting for a long time.

They quickly came up and bowed to him, "Gao Ping (Gao Huai) is here to welcome Yuan Changgong here on the order of my military advisor.

Although we are waiting for you, the military advisor has prepared wine and food at Fenshui Pavilion and said he wants to reminisce with Yuan Changshu..."

Gao Ping, Gao Huai, is Gao Lan's cousin.

After Gao Lan surrendered, he introduced the two men to Liu Chuang's tent.

The force of these two people is not very strong, but they are at the early stage of nourishing Qi and are both over the best age, so it is difficult to make any progress.

However, these two men are born with good looks. They are pretty and have a good appearance.

Moreover, they were also proficient in military tactics and were good at governing the army.

Liu Chuang asked them to work in the General's Mansion. This time, Xun Chen went to Hedong and brought them to him. It also meant to support him.

Gao Lan died in Anpingguo, and Liu Chuang was always feeling guilty.

Therefore, after returning to Yanjing, he decided to promote the two. However, Xun Chen stopped Liu Chuang, believing that rash promotion would not only cause dissatisfaction among others. It would also make the two arrogant. Liu Chuang's subordinates were mostly those who climbed up step by step, relying on their talents and merits. Gao Ping and Gao Huai had insufficient qualifications and no particularly prominent contributions, and could not be reused.

This time I brought the two to Hedong to win the credit for them.

As long as Liu Chuang promotes two more, no one will make any remarks.

Zhong Yao nodded and bowed, "Please take the lead."

Gao Huai was going to stay in the army, so Gao Ping led Zhong Yao and Yang Wei and his group to the Fenshui River.

Fenshui Pavilion, as its name suggests, is located on the west bank of Fenshui, also known as Fenyin Pavilion.

Xun Chen had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, but he saw him wearing casual clothes, a moon-white robe, a lush scarf, a round fan, and a black beard under his jaw.

"Yuan Chang, why did you come so late?"

Zhong Yao was not polite, and signaled Yang Wei to wait outside the pavilion. He stepped into the Fenshui Pavilion.

"A defeated general, I can't compare myself to my friend. If you are proud of your youth... The military affairs in the valley are busy, I always have to comfort you to make an appointment."

Zhong Yao's tone was a bit shaky, but Xun Chen didn't care much.

He laughed and sat down with his clothes.

"Come on, come on. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, but I miss you very much."

Xun Chen and Zhong Yao have indeed not been together for many years.

No wonder Zhong Yao took a fancy to Cao Cao, while Xun Chen assisted Yuan Shao. The relationship between the two was hostile, so it was naturally impossible for them to have too many intersections.

However, there is no connection between them.

In these years, even if we will meet each other in life and death tomorrow, we are friends today and can drink and have fun.

Public is public, private is private, and no one will mix public and private... This may be the style of a famous scholar as later generations?

"Meng Yan, how about it now?"

After the two of them greeted each other, Zhong Yao asked about Liu Chuang.

Xun Chen was silent for a moment, "How can he not be good? A few days ago, he defeated Cao Cao and seized Julu. Now he is stationed in Tantai, and is busy all day long. He has not even been able to pay homage to Mr. Kang Cheng’s birthday. If you have the chance, you have to teach him a lesson."

At first glance, it seems that he is blaming Liu Chuang.

But in fact, it's a show-off...

Zhong Yao asked Liu Chuang, actually he wanted to inquire about the battle situation in Jizhou.

Everyone is old, how could Xun Chen not know about this art of speaking?

Cao Cao, was defeated?

Zhong Yao's heart trembled when he heard this. Although he tried his best to make a calm attitude, the twitching corners of his mouth still showed his inner horror.

Cao Cao was defeated, but he actually lost to Liu Chuang?

You know, Cao Cao used to seize the Anping Julu, but now Xun Chen only talked about Julu, but Zhong Yao could hear that Cao Cao might have lost even Anping. How could he be defeated so miserably? Cao Cao's troops entered Jizhou, but he had 80,000 troops, which should have been the upper hand.

But……
