So Cao Cao and Yuan Tan fought decisively in Pingyuan, but Yuan Tan was defeated. As expected, he was no match for Cao Cao. However, Yuan Tan and his brother had already fallen out and could not ask for help. He could only quickly seek help from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, hoping that Liu Biao could attack Xudu in the south and force Cao Cao to return his troops for rescue. Unfortunately, Liu Biao did not send troops, so Yuan Tan had no choice but to abandon the plains and retreat to Nanpi. As a result, Cao Cao pursued them all the way to Nanpi, intent on killing them all. This time, Yuan Tan was afraid again. Now it is really a matter of life and death again! I have to say that Yuan Tan is a weirdo, and his face can definitely rival Guo Jiayou's. At this time, Yuan Tan actually planned to ask Cao Cao to surrender. When Yuan Tan surrendered to Cao Cao, he sent Xin Pi, but Xin Pi actually followed Cao Cao and never came back. For this reason, Yuan Tan was angry for a long time. But now it seems that that is not bad, because Xin Pi and Xin Ping are still brothers after all, so if Xin Pi is inside Cao Ying, he can help to say something good, right? Therefore, the person Yuan Tan sent to see Cao Cao this time was Xin Ping, Xin Pi's eldest brother. Yuan Tan believes that there will be no problem at all if the two brothers cooperate internally and externally. So, Xin Ping came to see Cao Cao to discuss surrender. "It's a pity that today is different from the past. Now that Yuan Shang has been defeated, what is the use of Cao Cao keeping Yuan Tan here?" Moreover, Yuan Tan is not Zhang Xiu, not to mention that Yuan Tan and Cao Cao have a family feud. The key point is still uncertain. This surrender is obviously not a real surrender. There is no guarantee when he will rebel again in the future! In the past, Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu more to defeat Yuan Shao, but now that Yuan Shao is dead, the Yuan family is also seeing its end. The path to unification of the world is now clear and unobstructed. So what Cao Cao needs now is no longer adventure, but stability! Maybe you can accept Yuan Tan now. It may be a temporary gain, but in the long run. It's really not cost-effective. Today's Cao Cao has no need to take risks to make such a small gain. Therefore, Cao Cao decisively rejected Yuan Tan's surrender request. Although Cao Cao is open to all rivers, he can't surrender whenever you want! Cao Cao is also telling the world, either you surrender early in the morning, or if you wait until you are crippled before you even think about surrendering, it will be too late! Cao Cao suffered a lot from this kind of thing before. Because there will always be someone who has figured out Cao Cao's character, thinking that if he can give it a try, it would be great if he could win, but it wouldn't be too late to surrender if he doesn't win. Cao Cao will definitely accept it anyway. Now, Cao Cao wants to tell the world that I am no longer so casual! It was probably precisely because of Cao Cao's changes that Liu Biao's son Liu Cong later chose to surrender directly. Of course, let¡¯s not talk about it later. Come back here. Cao Cao rejected Yuan Tan's surrender request on the grounds that Yuan Tan was capricious and he could not trust him. Immediately, it was a signature style of course. Subconsciously and habitually, they engage in poaching behavior. Cao Cao said to Xin Ping. Now that your brother is here and doing well. Why don't you just come together. But as I said a long time ago, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and Guo Jia. He is not the same type of person as Xinpi. Xin Pi was willing to take refuge in Cao Cao, but neither Xin Ping nor Guo Tu was absolutely willing to take refuge in Cao Cao under such a situation. To put it mildly, they are all the type who won¡¯t shed tears until they see the coffin! The result was unexpected, yes, it was indeed unexpected. Cao Cao actually didn't force it and just let Xin Ping leave. You must know that under normal circumstances, Cao Cao has never been a rule-abiding person. Especially on the battlefield, if you tell others the rules and don't know how to be flexible, and if you don't know how to fight with deceit, you will lose your underwear long ago. If Yuan Tan only sent ordinary people, that would be fine, but now that he is sending someone as important as Xin Ping, is it possible that Cao Cao will remain indifferent? Not to mention anything else, it would definitely be okay to at least force him to stay. In the end, Cao Cao actually let Xin Ping go back to help Yuan Tan like that? ! Could it be that Cao Cao has become complacent and arrogant now? If Guo Jia were here at this time, he would completely understand what Cao Cao is doing. Xin Ping and Guo Tu are not Xin Pi, they are both very ambitious people, and such people are from the Guo Jia lineage. If Cao Cao really accepts them, if they really join Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will On the contrary, it would be unreal in my heart. And it is not good to kill people directly. After all, if the two armies are fighting and do not kill the envoys, then it is better to put the people back. Then they will be destroyed along with Yuan Tan, and it will be over. Anyway, it is Xin Ping and others who are unwilling to surrender. Cao Cao killed people, and others had nothing to say, right? Just like before, wasn't this the case with discipline and matching trials? Then, Xin Ping returned and told Yuan Tan that Cao Cao would not accept surrender. At first hearing the news, Yuan Tan must have been a little bit unable to accept it. Cao Cao was unwilling to accept his surrender, and he meant to directly kill him! In his excitement, Yuan Tan immediately questioned Xin Ping. Could it be that Xin Ping messed up the matter? Could it be because of your brother?You have already taken refuge with Cao Cao, so now you, Xin Ping, have second thoughts? ! It's no wonder that Yuan Tan thinks this way. Young people are inevitably impulsive. In addition, now that Yuan Tan is at the end of his rope, even if he doesn't talk about Xin Pi, the people under his command are likely to have second thoughts, just like the abominable person before. Like the Lu brothers! It can be said that Yuan Tan also inherited to some extent the characteristics of his father Yuan Shao, that is, deep down in his heart, he cannot trust his subordinates. Yes, when a person can't even trust his own brothers, how can he really trust outsiders? Once a person's values ????change at a certain moment, there is no family affection, no friendship, only interests, then naturally no one will believe it. As a result, Yuan Tan¡¯s scolding caused Xin Ping to become ill on the spot. He Xin Ping refused Cao Cao's solicitation and withstood sugar-coated bullets. When he came back, you, Yuan Tan, actually said this about him? ! In addition, not long ago, the whole family was killed by the judge in Yecheng. Xin Ping was still in grief. Now such a shock finally crushed Xin Ping. At this point, Yuan Tan is obviously still inferior to his father Yuan Shao, at least it is impossible for Yuan Shao to say it to his face. The sad thing is that there are no good doctors on the battlefield. Xin Ping fell to the ground and never got up again. Yuan Tan regretted it only then, and it was already too late. Later, in the battle of Nanpi, Yuan Tan was defeated and died at the hands of Cao Hong. Guo Tu also died in the rebellion. Under the cheers of Cao Jun's victory, it concealed the incomparable sadness. ??¡???????? Xudu, Guo Mansion, mourning hall, Guo Jia took the whole family and silently burned the spiritual money. In fact, when it comes to grief, this incident definitely did not have as big a blow to Guo Jia as the previous incident with Yuanzi. First, it was naturally due to the deep emotional difference. Second, Guo Jia had expected this kind of thing. , I was prepared in advance. Of course, thirdly, Guo Jia did not personally participate in such an incident. ¡°However, it¡¯s really sad. I think back then, four young people with high aspirations now ended up like this one by one. ¡°It seems that it¡¯s almost time to prepare to move.¡± Guo Jia murmured. (To be continued)
