This is the second time.

The last time Guan Yu said these words was at Baimen Tower.

At that time, Cao Cao raised his sword and wanted to kill Zhang Liao, but Guan Yu said the same words and saved Zhang Liao's life. Cao Cao then changed his words and said: "I also know Wen Yuan's loyalty and righteousness, and he has an ear for drama."

Play Ni coal!

The sword was raised. If Guan Yu had stopped him, how could Mr. Cao have stopped? Tell Zhang Liao that I just had a nervous tic?

At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Guan Yu said: "Guan knew Wen Yuan as a righteous man. Now Cao Cao bullies the emperor and slaughters the common people. How can this be done by a righteous man? Li Yizhou treats the people well. He not only gives the people land and pays little in taxes, but also runs public schools to train them.

How can talents be compared to those of Cao Cao and Thieves? May Wen Yuan leave behind a useful body and benefit the common people, then the world will be blessed."

Zhang Liao sighed: "But the family members are all in the north. If Liao dies on the battlefield, Zi Shang will be able to take over someone's title. If they surrender from the south, I'm afraid the clan members will not be able to protect themselves."

Li Qi finally saw a glimmer of hope and said, "Wen Yuan can rest assured. When Jia Wenhe and Yu Wen surrendered to me, Cao Cao did not embarrass their families. Later, we captured Huayin and successfully captured Jia Wenhe's family.

The house was sent to Gangneung, and now the whole family is living together happily."

Except for the precedents of Jia Xu and Yu Jin, there is no record in history books of Cao Cao persecuting the family members of surrendered generals. Even though Yu Jin was eventually humiliated to death by Cao Pi, Yu Jin's son successfully inherited the title. In this regard, Cao Cao still had the upper hand.

It's clear, unless your family members are very beautiful.

Li Qi looked at Zhang Liao's age. Even if Zhang Liao's wife was beautiful, she was probably old.

Li Qi continued: "Of course, if Wen Yuan submits to me, he will be mainly responsible for Jiangdong affairs. I will not let you fight Cao Wei directly, so as not to anger Cao Cao and make Wen Yuan unjust. He will defeat Cao Wei someday.

, after Sun Quan, there are more barbarians in the north and south who need to be solved, and Wen Yuan will have the opportunity to make contributions and honor his ancestors."

Li Qi specifically said "Guangzong Yaozu" because according to historical records, Zhang Liao was originally a descendant of Nie Yi, a party to the "Mayi Conspiracy". Because the Mayi Conspiracy ultimately failed, his family changed his name to Zhang Liao in order to avoid resentment.

surname.

If Zhang Liao could attack the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the north and conquer the Shanyue and Barbarians in the south, it would indeed be an act of honor for his ancestors.

"I wish to surrender." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

…

But he said that Lejin had sent the news of Zhang Liao's surrender to the enemy back to Yecheng. After all, the commander-in-chief had surrendered to the enemy, and the higher-ups should know about it.

But when the news reached Yecheng, it failed to reach Cao Cao's ears.

Because Cao Cao was seriously ill, the people below were worried that he would not be able to bear the stimulation.

In fact, Cao Wei now has a clear successor: Cao Zhi has been passed away, Cao Xiong has been weak and sick since childhood, and cannot be used in a big way, and Cao Zhang was also ambushed by Zhuge Liang in the battle of Tongguan, and there is no one to compete with Cao Pi. So.

Cao Pi could make up his own mind.

Cao Pi discussed with the officials: "My father is suffering from illness, so the affairs of Jiangdong should not increase his worries suddenly. In the opinion of the princes, who can go to Spring Valley to take over Zhang Liao's post?" Cao Pi asked.

Le Jin had been with Cao Cao for a long time, but mostly as a deputy general, so Cao Pi did not think that Le Jin had the ability to take charge of his own affairs. However, Xia Houyuan stayed in Tongguan to confront Zhuge Liang, while Cao Ren stayed in Wancheng to defend Zhang Fei and Fazheng at Xinye Fortress.

I don’t know who to send at this time.

Cao Zhen came out and said: "Someone is willing to go."

Cao Pi was a little hesitant. Cao Zhen was the general he trusted most to lead the army. If Cao Cao kicked his legs one day, some unpredictable things might happen around him. Therefore, Cao Zhen controlled the army in Yecheng, which was a kind of guarantee for Cao Pi.

Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is not appropriate to continue the war with Li Qi at this time. We can order Le Jin to withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River, leaving only one general to garrison in Spring Valley."

"Oh?" Cao Pi asked: "Our army stationed in Spring Valley and Wuhu occupied the Jiangnan fortress and prevented Li and Sun from taking the Yangtze River as a natural danger. If we withdraw from Lejin, I am afraid that Spring Valley will not be protected. Next time we will march to Jiangdong.

When we use troops, we have to fight fiercely on the Yangtze River. Why bother?"

Sima Yi said: "Chungu is an isolated city in the south of the Yangtze River. All logistical supplies are across the Yangtze River. How can we maintain a long-term stalemate with the coalition forces of Li and Sun?"

Cao Pi was a little unwilling. He had just taken charge personally, and he had to show weakness to the coalition forces of Li and Sun. How could he establish prestige in the minds of his ministers?

Sima Yi went on to say: "Sun Quan is a repeater. He has always been with Cao and the Li family. Now Sun Quan and Li Qi have formed an alliance. Because we are pressing hard, he is just choosing the best of two evils."

To put it mildly, once our threat is lifted, the Li and Sun families will inevitably start fighting again, and then we can take advantage of it."

Cao Pi said: "What Zhongda said is not unreasonable. It's just that with Li Qi's power in Jiangdong, once the alliance is broken, Sun Quan may not even have a chance to leapfrog."

Sima Yi said: "This is what the prince said. Now that Li Qi has newly acquired Jiangxia, and it was acquired from Sun Quan, the people's hearts are unstable and the city is not solid. We can put heavy pressure in the direction of Jiangxia and encircle it without fighting. Li Qi will definitely conquer it."

The troops from Jiangdong are marching towards Jiangxia. By then, won't Sun Quan have the opportunity to regain the nine counties in Jiangdong?"

In a word, if he cannot take Jiangdong, he must not let Li Qi monopolize Jiangdong and become bigger. The most important task is to destroy the alliance between Li Qi and Sun Quan. For this reason, Sima Yi did not hesitate to send troops to lure Li Qi

, giving Sun Quan a chance to breathe.

Cao Pi followed his plan and made Sima Yi the commander-in-chief, leading Sun Li, Guo Huai, Gao Lan and others to the north of Jiangxia.

On the Jiangdong side, Le Jin was naturally the first to receive news of the troop withdrawal.

Le Jin knew that if he withdrew like this, Chungu would definitely be lost, but it could not be lost in vain.

According to Sima Yi's strategy, while losing the Spring Valley, it is necessary to cause Li Qi, Xu Sheng, and Zhu Huan to compete for the Spring Valley. In Le Jin's view, Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan are obviously not Li Qi's opponents, so before withdrawing their troops,

, escorted Wu Qi to the court.

Le Jin looked at the horrified Wu Qi, smiled disdainfully, and then said: "On the order of the King of Wei, I will let you go back."

Wu Qi suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth into an "O" shape, unable to close it for a long time.

Le Jin saw this and said, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Wu Qi knelt down with a puff: "The King of Wei is really Wu's reborn parent. Qi bursts into tears with gratitude and doesn't know what to say."

Le Jin said: "In addition to letting you go back, King Wei also plans to return Spring Valley to you. Tomorrow, I will withdraw my troops from the north bank of the river. You can make Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan prepare to attack the city.

I will withdraw my troops in the morning and you will attack the city in the afternoon. I must leak the news and let Li Qi take advantage. Do you understand?"

Wu Qi was overjoyed.
