Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 439

After drinking and eating, Yuan Tan called Xu Shu again and asked about the details of the battle.

After learning that Xu Shu finally dissuaded Deng Ai from chasing him, Yuan Tan nodded in satisfaction, looking at his disciple, he became more and more appreciative.

Xu Shu knows this, and he is able to use it in war.

This is called mastery.

Being able to achieve this step means that Xu Shu has stepped into the first-class threshold at the strategic level.

Although there is still some distance from the level of Xu Shu in the official history, who can see through the serial tricks at a glance, it is not far away.

Moreover, Yuan Tan believes that it is not surprising that Xu Shu, who is assisted by the Six Secret Teachings, will only go further than the official history, and even reach the level of the wise and nearly demon Wolong.

After Xu Shu finished talking about the battle, when he saw Yuan Tan getting up, he wanted to go outside to have a look.

I couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Teacher, it's getting late, why are you going out now?"

Yuan Tan laughed: "You and Shi Zai captured Cai Mao and came back, but you settled my concern. I'm going to see that General Cai Mao first, and ask him to do something for me. If he does well , I will be a general again today!"

Hearing what Yuan Tan said, Xu Shu reacted and said with a smile: "No wonder the teacher wants me and Shi Zai to capture Cai Mao alive. It turns out that it is for the general."

"Hahahaha," Yuan Tan laughed loudly, shaking his head and said, "What kind of thing is Cai Mao? It's not worth my two disciples' joint attack. It's just because I think that with him, I can exchange for General Wen's heart. Come and kill this little chick, Cai Mao, with your sledgehammer."

……

In the dungeon of Qiao County, Cai Mao at this moment only felt ashamed.

In any case, he never imagined that just yesterday, he was still in high spirits, scolding Fang Qiu, and he was full of the scene where he commanded the army, defeated the Xuzhou army, captured Qiaojun, entered Yuzhou, and the counties in the Central Plains surrendered in anticipation.

Unexpectedly, today, he became a prisoner of the Xuzhou Army.

Such a huge difference filled Cai Mao with resentment and helplessness.

Looking at the crude dinner plate and the crude food in front of him, such a thing would have been put in the past, no, just yesterday, and he would not even take a look at it.

But at this moment, the food and water on the plate became a rare thing for him to fill his stomach.

Although Cai Mao had the heart not to eat these things, since he was thrown into the dungeon, not to mention Yuan Tan, even the jailers never came to see him.

Cai Mao originally thought that these people would try to persuade him to surrender.

He thought that he would pretend that he would rather die than surrender at that time, and wait until Yuan Tan and others praised his integrity and persuaded him.

Then he went down the donkey and surrendered to Yuan Tan.

Anyway, the Cai family has a great business in Jingzhou, and has the inner house of Liu Biao, the host of his sister, even if he surrendered to Xuzhou.

Liu Biao did not dare to do anything to the Cai family.

After all, no matter how you say it, Liu Biao is an elderly person. Even if he wants to deal with those aristocratic families in Jingzhou, he doesn't have the strength to pick up the butcher's knife again.

So Cai Mao is not really worried about what to do with his family after the surrender.

But, since he woke up, except for the occasional doctor who would come over regularly to check him up and change some medicines.

On weekdays, the jailer only delivered three meals a day, no one wanted to talk to him at all, even the jailer and the doctor were silent throughout the whole process.

No matter what he said, he refused to give him a half-answer.

So Cai Mao panicked.

In Cai Mao's view, criminals who don't ask questions often have only one end, and that is death.

Maybe, by tomorrow morning, I will be asked to sacrifice the flag.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao didn't feel sad, but he didn't reflect on his own thoughts at all. Instead, he wholeheartedly felt that it was Yang Ling and Wenpin who were all useless.

In the end, he even started to curse Liu Biao.

When Yuan Tan came to the dungeon, what he saw was Cai Mao, holding heavy shackles, cursing Liu Biao.

This is already the third day since Cai Mao was transported to Qiao County.

Yuan Tan originally wanted to see Cai Mao on the day Xu Shu and Deng Ai returned, but Xu Shu persuaded him with a simple reason.

Cai Mao, a villain, is a typical character who is rampant when he succeeds.

If he was in a hurry to see him, it would make Cai Mao think that he still had some cards to play, bargaining there, and putting on a show.

But if he left Cai Mao alone, Cai Mao would not be able to hold on in a few days, and by then.

When he heard Yuan Tan's request, even if he was unwilling to do so, in order to save his life, he would obey Yuan Tan's order honestly.

Looking at it now, what Xu Shu said really made sense.

A person who started cursing the old master after being captured for three days is indeed a villain.

Yuan Tan sneered, and the laughter reached Cai Mao's ears.

Only then did Cai Hao come to his senses and quickly threw himself on the railing, only to see Yuan Tan appearing in front of him.

For a moment, remorse, shame, anger... many complicated emotions filled Cai Mao's heart instantly.

But fortunately at this time, Cai Hao had long since lost the courage to stand up to Yuan Tan, and soon calmed down, and with a plop, he fell down on his knees in front of Yuan Tan through the prison gate, crying and begging: " Qihou, Qihou, you have a large number of adults. The villain originally didn't want to attack Yuzhou, but the villain's old master Liu Biao was ungrateful and forced the villain to lead his troops. The villain has no guts and no ideas to make an enemy of Qihou you ah."

Hearing Cai Mao's words, Yuan Tan was happy, funny, and funny. Of course, Cai Mao's pitiful look at this time was really funny compared to his previous arrogant posture.

As for being lucky, I was glad that I never had the idea of ​​taking Cai Mao, the commander of the Jingzhou army and navy, under his command from the very beginning.

Otherwise, seeing Cai Mao's appearance now, don't say that he didn't have this idea, even if he had the idea of ​​surrendering Cai Mao, he would be completely dismissed on the spot.

Immediately, Yuan Tan shouted coldly: "General Cai, do you want to survive?"

Cai Mao nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, he really doesn't want to think about anything now, as long as he can save his own life, even if he is allowed to start again in the Xuzhou Army, he is willing to be a soldier.

However, Yuan Tan's next words made Cai Mao dumbfounded: "Very well, since this is the case, I need General Cai Hao to write a personal letter here, telling Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao that if he still wants General Cai to return to Xuzhou safely, The family members of General Wenpin are about to be sent back to Qiao County obediently, do you understand?"
