Chapter 1751: Manchu Qing goes south
Since Tantai Yu was seriously injured in the battle of Julu, he has not been seen again.
Even after the fall of Bohai, Yuan Shao's death in battle, the Battle of Yecheng, and the demise of Zhao, Tantaiyu did not have the slightest movement.
Before the battle of House of Flying Daggers, Qin Hao made special arrangements for Tantaiyu, but no one else showed up until the end of the battle.
Later, Qin Hao also sent spies to investigate, but there was no trace of Tantai Yu at all, as if the man had simply disappeared.
In fact, Tantaiyu did not disappear, but was sent by Yuan Shao to escort his three sons to Yecheng before Bohai was besieged by Su Dingfang.
After Tantaiyu escorted Yuan Tan and the others, before he could return, Bohai was completely surrounded. It was impossible for him to force his way into the city, so he hid himself and waited for Yuan Shao's orders.
Before the destruction of Bohai City, Yuan Shao anticipated that Zhao State might be destroyed, so he made arrangements in advance and handed part of the power to restore the country to the hands of his confidant general Tantai Yu.
Being so trusted by Yuan Shao, Tantaiyu's loyalty is naturally guaranteed. However, before Yuan Tan died, he betrayed Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. What happened?
The reason is actually very simple.
Both Yuan Tan and Yuan Tiangang misunderstood Tantai Yu. He was absolutely loyal to Yuan Shao. The reason why he took refuge in Cao Cao was mainly because of Yuan Yao's deception.
Zhao State was destroyed and Yuan Tan was captured. Qin Hao and Li Shimin were not the only ones eyeing the remnants of the Yuan family. Cao Cao was also one of them, and he had been in contact with Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao very early.
When Yuan Shu was eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Lian Po took his young master Yuan Yao and some remnants of the Henan army to defect to Zhao Kuangyin. Later, because his mistress was humiliated, he deserted Zhao Song and defected to Yuan Shao of Hebei, who was also a member of the Yuan family. Yuan Yao's lineage Therefore, he took root in Zhao State.
Yuan Yao never expected that under the powerful offensive of the Qin army, Zhao, the second most powerful country in the Han Dynasty, would be destroyed so soon.
Once the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, Yuan Yao will also lose his protection, but he still cannot and dare not surrender to Qin Hao.
Yuan Yao knew that his father, Yuan Shu, had an issue with Qin Hao before, and Qin Hao even beat his father in the street. This shows that there is a lot of hatred between the two, so every time Qin Hao's own father is mentioned, he always Gritting teeth.
In Yuan Yao's view, taking refuge in Qin Hao would only lead to death, and this was actually his prejudice against Qin Hao. He underestimated Qin Hao's broadmindedness.
The relationship between Qin Hao and Yuan Shu can only be regarded as a personal conflict at best. With Qin Hao's mind, it is definitely not something that even his family can't tolerate.
At this moment, Cao Cao took the initiative to contact Yuan Yao and promised a huge profit. He wanted Yuan Yao to defect to him and at the same time recruit another remnant of Zhao to come over.
Yuan Yao was immediately moved. After all, Cao Cao and his father were close friends, and they had hugged him when he was a child. Now that Cao Cao had made a guarantee, he would definitely protect his safety, so Yuan Yao gave birth to a child who had taken refuge in Cao Cao. idea.
Soon after, the State of Zhao was destroyed, Yuan Tan was captured alive, and the remnants of the State of Zhao such as Yuan Yao and others were hidden and lived in darkness, which made them even more eager to seek refuge with Cao Cao.
Although Yuan Yao's talents are mediocre, he also knows that he can't go alone, so he plans to rope in Tantai Yu, the leader of the Yuan family's force to which he belongs, and join him to join Cao Cao in order to obtain higher treatment. .
Yuan Yao underestimated Tantaiyu's loyalty and overestimated his own eloquence. No matter how dry his mouth was, Tantaiyu did not waver at all. Even if he continued to persuade him, he also annoyed Tantaiyu. In desperation, he also He could only let Yan Xiang lobby Tantaiyu on his behalf.
Yan Xiang, who had been Yuan Shu's think tank, was naturally much better eloquent than Yuan Yao. With his step-by-step persuasion, he finally persuaded Tantai Yu, a stubborn person.
Yan Xiang took these three points as his starting point: Yuan Tan was a strong character and would definitely not surrender, Qin Cao would definitely surrender to Cao Cao in a battle, and he would revive the Yuan family. Only then did Yan Xiang persuade Tantai Yu and Yuan Yao to defect to Cao Cao.
Tantaiyu also felt that what Yan Xiang said was reasonable. With Yuan Tan's temperament, he would definitely not surrender. Failure to surrender would lead to death.
If Yuan Tan dies, the only direct bloodline of the Yuan family will be Yuan Yao, and joining Cao Cao with him will protect the last bloodline of the Yuan family.
Tantaiyu really thought that Yuan Tan was dead, so before Yuan Tan died, he took the strength that Yuan Shao gave him and defected to Cao Cao along with Yuan Yao, Yan Xiang, Ji Ling and others. .
Tantaiyu never expected that Yuan Tiangang, who had been stuck as a half-step grandmaster for nearly ten years, would break through to the grandmaster realm at this time, and rescue Yuan Tan from the Yecheng Heavenly Prison, so that he An act of loyalty turned into betrayal.
At this time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Tiangang were angry, but they could only suppress their anger. After all, they had no choice but to lose their reputation.
"Hey, uncle and nephew, can you please stop for a moment and talk about how to accommodate me?" Ma Shanwei asked with an unhappy look on his face.
He was originally ready to surrender to the Qin army, but he was deceived by Li Chunfeng and escaped from prison with them inexplicably.
Looking back now, I think, Ma Shanwei really regretted everything in his intestines. Why did he abandon the near and seek the long distance to join Li Tang? Wouldn't it be better to surrender to the Qin army?
I don’t know if it’s too late to go back?
Rescuing Ma Shanwei was not part of Yuan Tiangang's plan. After all, Ma Shanwei was not a general of the Zhao army. However, Li Chunfeng saw that Ma Shanwei was also in the prison and wanted to recruit Ma Shanwei, a fierce general, for Li Tang. , so even the coaxer rescued Ma Shanwei along the way.
After hearing what Ma Shanwei said, everyone looked at Ma Shanwei, and Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "General Ma, please be patient for a moment. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, I will honor all my previous promises. The king of Tang is very thirsty for talents. If a strong general like General Ma takes the initiative to surrender, he will definitely be put to good use."
"That's good."
Ma Shanwei muttered, still feeling that he had been cheated, but he couldn't think of where he was cheated.
Seeing that Li Chunfeng had comforted Ma Shanwei, Yuan Tiangang said to Yuan Tan: "Tan'er, Li Chunfeng will protect you when you go to Li Tang."
"Why, uncle doesn't go with his nephew?" Yuan Tan asked.
Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "I have some important things to go to the Central Plains.
Qin Hao's power is too strong. In order to bring down Qin Hao, all forces that can be united must be united.
Now Li Tang, Shu Han, Chu Han, Sui Liang and other forces have united, and even the anti-Qin forces within the Luoyang Dynasty have joined this alliance.
The anti-Qin forces in Luoyang are still too weak to pose a threat to the Qin army, but if two peerless generals join them, the situation will be much better.
Now I am going to help these two people go to Luoyang. "
Hearing this, Yuan Tan suddenly looked shocked. The Southern Han Dynasty actually colluded with Luoyang Dynasty. It seems that Qin Hao's rear is not as stable as imagined!
————————————
Northern Hebei, Hejian, Lecheng, Prefecture.
Qin Hao was already very angry about Yuan Tan being kidnapped. As a result, before the matter was settled, another bad news came.
"Report... to inform my lord, Nurhaci personally leads an army of more than 100,000 people southward to join Wanyan Aguda. An army of 200,000 Manchus and Qing troops are stationed in Liaodong and may enter Youzhou at any time."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
