Chapter 618 Zhang Junyi defected to Cao Cao (continued)
When he saw that Guan Yu had said so, others wouldn't say much.
In fact, Cao Cao's words before were not indifferent to the intention of winning people's hearts. And his words were indeed. After Guan Yu and the others heard it, they saw that their lord (Cao) trusted him, and they were really moved. I have to say that Cao Cao's words played their due role.
Everyone said nothing. Cao Cao walked in front of the front, left the tent, and walked directly to the gate of the camp, and naturally everyone followed closely behind. At this time, it was about to dawn, so it was not so dark, and there was already some light. If Zhang He hadn't arrived at the Yanzhou Army camp, Cao Cao would have let everyone go back to their tents and have a good rest at this time.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao and everyone came to the gate of the camp. When the guards saw it, they thought that this enemy general Zhang He was even more powerful than the one named Xu You before.
Xu You just asked his lord to come out to greet him personally. But look at Zhang He, not only his lord princess, but also the two military advisors and other generals came out together. Zhang He was so face-to-face, the guard thought in his heart. He thought Zhang He was such a powerful and important person, but in fact it was not that way at all.
In fact, the guards didn't think about it carefully. When Xu You came to the Yanzhou Army camp, there was no one in Cao Cao's tent. But Zhang He came at a good time, and everyone was in his lord's tent. So Cao Cao said in one word that even if he didn't want to come out, he would have to come out. What's more, his lord had come out. Even if his lord didn't say anything, how could you not come out?
Sure enough, when everyone came to the gate of the camp, they saw that there were people and horses outside the camp. Naturally, it was Zhang He himself. When Zhang He saw this formation, he quickly dismounted. At this time, the gate of the camp was also wide open, and Cao Cao and others also left the camp one by one.
After Zhang He got off his horse, he quickly walked to Cao Cao and then knelt down on one knee. "The defeated general, come and join!"
Cao Cao quickly pulled Zhang He with both hands and said, "Your Ye can surrender to our army, just like Han Xin returning to the Han Dynasty! With You Ye's help, our army will surely sweep across Hebei!!"
Zhang He was embarrassed to hear this. Although he knew that Cao Cao was a polite word. However, he knew that he was very capable and he was still self-aware. He must be unable to compare with Han Xin. In fact, Zhang He also knew what Cao Cao meant. Cao Cao was not a random metaphor. He said that Han Xin returned to the Han Dynasty, so he meant that he represented the Han Dynasty. Because the emperor is now in Xudu, Cao Cao meant that he could represent the emperor and the Han Dynasty. And the others were all traitors, such as Yuan Shao.
While standing up, Zhang He said, "Lord!"
Even if Zhang He officially appointed Cao Cao as his lord, Zhang He was really helpless. He first followed Han Fu, the former governor of Jizhou, to serve under his tent, and then went to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who had joined Cao Cao again.
Although he was not called a slave of the three surnames like Lu Bu, his reputation must not be much better. The only one who was stronger than Lu Fengxian was that he had never killed his master. And the one who was the most scolded by Lu Bu in the world was because he killed his master. He killed his adoptive father first, and then killed his lord. This was not continuous twice, and it was not until he did it himself in the end.
Cao Cao was holding Zhang He's hand tightly at this time, "Junyi, come with me to enter the account!"
"promise!"
Zhang He quickly agreed that the horse was led away by soldiers, and he and Cao Cao, followed Cao Cao and then entered the camp and walked towards Cao Cao's central army tent. During this period, Guan Yu and Xu Chu did not take it lightly at all. Especially Xu Chu, both of them knew that Zhang He and Zhang Junyi had no malice towards their lord, but the so-called "prevention of others is indispensable", so...
-----------------------------------------------------
After entering the tent and everyone sat down, Cao Cao introduced his subordinates and Zhang He to each other. Although many people knew each other, they still had to introduce them once. Everyone and Zhang He quickly treated each other and went around and it was over. After all, the etiquette they should have should be. Cao Cao introduced them to each other means that from then on, Zhang He was also a general under his tent, and everyone belonged to the Yanzhou Army and was a colleague. We should be close to each other as much as we should be.
It was not until after the matter was finished that Cao Cao asked Zhang He, yes, he could not have doubts why Zhang He came to join him. Although all the food and grass in Wuchao were burned out by his side, the Jizhou army was not defeated yet. It seems that there is something hidden here that he doesn't know.
So Zhang He did not hide anything, and told Cao Cao and others about his experiences. As a result, when everyone heard this, several of them heard the problem. Unfortunately, Zhang He was considered to be "wondered by the authorities", so he did not find any problem. In fact, they also believed that as long as Zhang He really had a skeptical attitude, he might not be able to detect this abnormality. But unfortunately, Zhang He did not doubt anything.
A soldier from Jizhou, he is a soldier from Jizhou, but he said that it was sent by Qu Yi, so he must have it. And he also said that Yuan Shao wanted to kill Zhang He, why did a soldier believe that Yuan Shao wanted to kill you Zhang He? But someone has seen the problem, and at least two things have been explained. First, that is, the relationship between Zhang He and Qu Yi seems to be pretty good. Second, Zhang He must have thought about it before, and he probably would have been in danger after returning to the Jizhou Army camp, but he was not sure.
But when the soldiers heard this, he was sure and didn't even doubt it. Whether it was Cao Cao, Xun You, Cheng Yu, or Guan Yu, he could see the problem, but no one of them said much. They also believed that Zhang He could understand it as long as he thought about it carefully, so they would not say that.
After everyone chatted in the big tent for a few words, Cao Cao asked everyone to go back and rest, and arranged a big tent for Zhang He. The treatment was the same as his subordinates. Cao Cao never stings with anything, which is correct.
-----------------------------------------------------
The night passed and the day came. On this day, there was no movement between the Jizhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. But anyone with a real discerning eye knew that what was hidden under this calm appearance was nothing more than a trace of peace before the storm came.
The Jizhou Army was ready to go, and everyone could see that their lord was getting more and more haggard. It was obvious that the Wuchao incident had definitely hit him a lot. Seeing that his lord had a lot of white hair, he was really unhappy with Yuan Shao. It was really unhappy to see that the lord who was truly loyal to Yuan Shao. It can be said that the people who came to Guandu with Yuan Shao have followed him for at least ten years, but there were not many who were truly loyal to him.
Although Bingzhou is about to be lost and Guandu is about to be defeated, Yuan Shao's name is still the overlord of the four northern states. This is still the case. However, when he was alive, he still managed all his subordinates, but if he was gone, what would happen? Who knows? Anyway, everyone knows that his lord likes the most is his younger son. He doesn't like his eldest son and second son, but even so, he gave his eldest son and second son a lot of power.
To be honest, this matter is to be seen by outsiders. It is a way to cause disaster. If you don’t make the eldest son and want the youngest son to succeed to the throne, it is already a mess. As a result, the two sons are in power. This is not a way to cause disaster or something. But even though many people know this, none of them dares to say anything in front of Yuan Shao. Yes, who dares? Are Tian Feng and Ju Su a living example? Is there anyone who wants to follow their footsteps?
Yuan Shao came to Japan today and thought there was nothing big, but he thought it was wrong. Many of his subordinates came to report that many of the Jizhou troops had already complained because they knew the news that Wuchao was burned, so...
To be honest, Yuan Shao didn't say anything before, after all, the Wuchao thing could no longer be defended. So he could only say to everyone: "The Wuchao thing is not to be said much. But the soldiers need more trouble, tell them that our army will fight to the death in the Yanzhou army tomorrow. No matter what, we will not worry about military rations!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it was not. Tomorrow's decisive battle, it was our side who had to attack the Yanzhou army with all their might. No matter what the final result was, the losses would definitely not be small. Once a person was injured or killed, the food and grass would naturally be consumed less. If our side wins, then when the food and grass from Liyangcang come, our side will be able to enter Xudu. Besides, if our side wins, it may not be possible to grab the food and grass from the Yanzhou army.
But they didn't think about what would happen if they were defeated. Anyway, if Yuan Shao lost Guandu, he would have to retreat north of the Yellow River and retreat to Liyang, otherwise what would be possible?
Everyone quickly agreed to the promise, and they all knew that the most important thing to do at this time was to appease the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army. If the morale of the army was unstable, what else would you use to fight the Yanzhou army tomorrow? To be honest, everyone knew that the Yanzhou army is now in a prosperous morale, and they really had two consecutive victories, which made them really have a high morale, and it was not a problem to win the one. If it weren't for the fact that our side was really poor, we wouldn't want to fight against the Yanzhou army head-on, but now we can only do so.
Seeing the generals taking orders to calm the morale of the army, Yuan Shao sighed in the tent, "Alas, am I really not as good as Cao Mengde?"
To be honest, Yuan Shao's power has grown too fast in recent years, so he has more and more serious problems than before, but he really has no feelings about it. In Yuan Shao's eyes, he is the overlord of the four northern states and the most powerful and powerful prince in the world. Can't the Yanzhou army still compete with it?
But after so many months of confrontation and a few battles, he found that he might have been wrong. If the Yanzhou Army was not strong, why was it his own defeat, not others? So Yuan Shao also doubted at this time, is his Jizhou Army really not the opponent of the Yanzhou Army? But no matter what, in the battle tomorrow, he can only win, not fail!
