Chapter 181 Entering the city alone

Wu Fan once again made a shocking statement.

When everyone heard that he was going to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, his eyes were staring like a copper bell.

What Yuan Shao hates the most now is not Cao, nor Yan Liang and Wen Chou who turned to Cao's army, but Wu Fan.

This is something that all the soldiers of Cao's Second Army and even all the local people in Hebei know well; but Wu Fan wants to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender at this time? Not to mention the question of whether it can be successful, the dangers that may be faced alone will make people breathe.

Of course, Wu Fan knew everyone was worried, so when Hua Xiong and others were about to speak, he waved his hand and said:

"No need to say anything, I made this decision after careful consideration; I am the only one who persuades Yuan Shao to surrender this time."

Everyone has been following Wu Fan for a day or two. Everyone knows that Wu Fan seems easy-going on the surface, but once he decides something, he is extremely determined. Besides, he is the governor, so he has the final say here. He said he wants to go, who can control him?

A military captain next to him hurriedly led the claws Huang Feidian. After Wu Fan turned his saddle and got on the horse, Guo Jia asked again:

"Mr. Governor, will you bring a military general with you? If you encounter danger during this period, you can take care of me."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, the three righteous brothers Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, as well as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all came forward and volunteered to follow Wu Fan.

Among them, Lu Lingqi raised her face confidently and looked at Wu Fan. Although she didn't say a word, she smiled and waited for Wu Fan's appointment. Because she knew very well that among these people, she was the only NV general and had no fame. Just like when she went to Zhaoming Palace to play chess with Emperor Xian last time, she would not attract attention. Governor Wu must take her with her this time.

Wu Fan's eyes swept through everyone. When they swept to Lu Lingqi, the two of them looked at each other. Wu Fan deliberately turned his eyes elsewhere. Lu Lingqi felt that something seemed wrong. Sure enough, I heard Wu Fan say:

"Since I want to show sincerity, I should be the only one riding into the city alone. Don't worry, I have some feelings for Yuan Shao, and I predict that he will not harm me."

As soon as these words were said, Lu Lingqi's heart suddenly became cold.

What Wu Fan said about having some love with Yuan Shao is indeed true. The two are now close friends, and the intimacy is 24 points. Although they are not high, they searched for all the generals under their command. Apart from Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they were the only one who could reach some love with Yuan Shao. Yan Liang, Wen Chou was clumsy and stupid, so Wu Fan could not send them to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, so he had to go there himself.

As for Yuan Shao not to harm himself, this is Wu Fan's analysis based on his understanding of Yuan Shao's character. Yuan Shao is very good at face and has to take into account his reputation in everything he does. He entered the city as an envoy. If Yuan Shao took the opportunity to harm himself, wouldn't it seem too despicable? Wu Fan even believed that even if a counselor suggested that Yuan Shao harm him, Yuan Shao would not agree.

Furthermore, according to the "Three Kingdoms" series of game settings, it is normal for both sides to send envoys, including persuading surrender. The so-called two armies fight and do not kill the envoys, although they enter the enemy city alone, they are very safe.

Taking a step back, it would be so easy even if Yuan Shao wanted to kill him? With his 97th force and 20% speed increase, Yuan Shao's only subordinates have Xu Huang who can play a few moves with him, and other generals can only die.

Due to many factors, Wu Fan determined that although this trip seemed dangerous, it was actually extremely safe; therefore, he decided to take action himself.

At this time, Wu Fan had already ridden alone and walked out of the military formation. The generals behind him followed him again. It was not until Wu Fan turned around and asked everyone to stop. Lu Lingqi looked at Wu Fan's back as she was leaving. It was not until her father Lu Bu called her twice before she came back to her senses and returned to the army in a daze.

But Wu Fan rode his horse straight to the city of Beiping, and he was not fast or slow. During this period, the defenders on the city naturally saw Wu Fan coming from Cao's army alone. At first, they thought it was an envoy sent by casually. When Wu Fan came to the city, a veteran who had participated in the Battle of Yecheng recognized that this person was Wu Fan, the governor of the Second Corps of the Cao army. When they told everyone, the defenders on the city were very surprised. They held the chassis and looked down, rushing to see what Wu Fan looked like.

Wu Fan took the horse under the city and looked up at the city. He saw the long battlements of the city walls filled the heads of Yuan soldiers. Wu Fan smiled and said loudly:

"Listen to the Yuan family soldiers, I am the governor of the Second Army of Cao Army, Wu Fan. This trip was as an envoy, and met your Lord Yuan Shao. Please ask the driver to pass on the post."

As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, soldiers immediately ran down the city wall as if they were running down to inform Yuan Shao.

On the main hall of the palace city, Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, with several civil officials sitting on both sides in front of him; the military officers had led their troops to guard all parts of the city.

The soldier ran into the main hall like a flying one knee and said to Yuan Shao:

"You report to the lord, Wu Fan, the governor of Cao's army, to seek a meeting outside the city as an envoy."

After saying this, even the soldier had an incredible expression; Yuan Shao and the civil servants were even more surprised.

Wu Fan asked for a visit as an envoy? What was his purpose in this trip?

Xu You asked the soldier:

"You have seen clearly. Is that messenger really Wu Fan?"

The soldier replied:

"I can see clearly that it is indeed Wu Fan. Even the high-ranking general guarding the west city wall was convinced that this person was Wu Fan, the governor of Cao's army."

Xu You nodded, frowned and fell into deep thought, and then said to Yuan Shao:

"Lord, I think that Wu Fan's trip is very likely to be aimed at persuading surrender, and the lord needs to be treated with caution."

When Guo Tu heard that Wu Fan came here to persuade him to surrender, he was immediately nervous. Although it was not certain whether Yuan Shao was willing to surrender, even the odds were unacceptable, because he knew very well that once Yuan Shao surrendered, he would be executed by Wu Fan. Out of his love for life, Guo Tu naturally did not want Yuan Shao and Wu Fan to meet.

Therefore, after xiǎo's eyes turned, Guo Tu hurriedly said to Yuan Shao:

"Lord, Wu Fan knew that his lord hated this person, but he dared to meet him alone. This move was actually to deceive our army. The lord can set up soldiers on both sides of the main hall, and wait for him to come to the hall to kill him. Then the second army of Cao's army will not fight, and our army will go out of the city to counterattack and win a great victory."

Yuan Shao is really hating Guo Tu more and more. The reason why Yuan Shao favored Guo Tu before was because he was good at flattering and could talk about Yuan Shao's heart everywhere. However, through this battle between Yuan and Cao, Yuan Shao repeatedly adopted Guo Tu's strategy, but was defeated repeatedly, otherwise he would not have ended in such a situation.

When Yuan Shao heard that Guo Tu actually made him do this depressing thing, he was furious and shouted:

"Do you have to fight between the two armies and not beheaded to make me fall into a place of unjust and be ridiculed by the world?"

Guo Tu was so scared that he didn't dare to say more. Yuan Shao then ordered:

"Send the order to allow Wu Fan to enter the city"

...

But Wu Fan waited for about twenty minutes outside the Xicheng City. The suspension bridge on the city suddenly dropped, and the city opened wide. Xu Huang, the guard general of the Xicheng City, led a team of soldiers out and bowed to Wu Fan:

"Mr. Yuan Shao has an order to ask Governor Wu to enter the city."

Wu Fan and Xu Huang were also a little old, even more intimate than Yuan Shao. They smiled and bowed back to Xu Huang, and then entered the city together with Xu Huang.

Walking on the streets of the city, Yuan Shao's soldiers and generals all looked at Wu Fan, rushing to witness the famous Cao army governor. At the same time, they were also discussing it. I wonder why the governor Wu came to Beiping City in person.

Wu Fan, under the eyes of everyone, walked side by side with Xu Huang and came to the entrance of the palace city.

After dismounting the horse, Yuan Shao's soldiers came forward to take the reins and tied them to the horse stakes aside. Wu Fan, accompanied by Xu Huang, entered the palace city and came to the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Yuan Shao sitting on the main seat, looking at him coldly with the seriousness and anger of being the monarch of the enemy force.

In fact, although Yuan Shao allowed Wu Fan to enter the city to meet him, he had no intention of surrender. However, Yuan Shao was really impressed by Wu Fan's courage to meet him alone. In addition, the two of them still had some feelings. Only because of these two points did Yuan Shao agree to meet Wu Fan.

While walking towards the main hall, Wu Fan looked left and right at the same time to see who were there. Since Wu Fan had served as an official under Yuan Shao, Wu Fan knew the old ministers of Yuan Shao who were sitting in the hall, and they looked at each other with calm eyes. However, after looking around, Yuan Shao's civil officials were basically sitting by the side, but Guo Tu was not seen.

According to the information I received before, Guo Tu was also in Peking. Since that's the case, he should sit here at this time so that he can make things difficult for him later. Why did he disappear?

Wu Fan's thoughts moved a little, but he didn't think too much about this. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Yuan Shao and said:

"Wu Fan, the governor of the Second Corps of Cao Army, has met Lord Yuan Shao"

Yuan Shao looked at Wu Fan at this time and felt very complicated: it was because he could not keep this person at the beginning, so I was defeated today; if Cao had not received this person's help, he might not have been able to defeat Yuan Jun.

However, since things have come to this point, no matter how much I regret it, it will be useless. Yuan Shao put away his mood and said coldly:

"What's the matter with Governor Wu coming here?"

He called the official in his words and said, "Don't talk about it, and was determined to do business."

Wu Fan smiled and said:

"I came to ask Lord Yuan Shao for advice on how to defeat Wuhuan."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao was stunned.

Not only Yuan Shao, but also the officials in the main hall were stunned for a while. They all knew very well that Wu Fan's trip must be for persuading surrender. As soon as he spoke, he either talked about the military situation between the enemy and us, or started with a sījiāo, and then gradually turned to the point. He never expected that Wu Fan was asking for advice on how to defeat Wuhuan. What does this mean? Didn't Wu Fan's trip come to persuade our army to surrender?

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously:

"What does Governor Wu mean by this? Please make it clear."

Wu Fan looked around and said to Yuan Shao:
Chapter completed!
