Chapter 310 Cao Ang is also full of bad intentions? Yuan Tan: My tragic fate.
"So, you were forced to accept the task of killing Yuan Tan from Ju Shou?"
Guo Jia looked at Guo Tu with a half-smile.
Based on the information revealed by Guo Tu, he could basically determine what Cao Cao and Su Yu were planning!
Yuan Tan was extremely reckless.
I don't know if their limbs are well-developed, but their minds must be extremely simple.
People like that are so easy to fool.
On the other hand, what kind of cunning old foxes were in Cao Cao's camp?
Guo Jia shook his head.
If I send any one of the four—my lord Cao Cao, Su Yu, Jia Xu, or myself—I reckon they could fool Yuan Tan into not knowing the way around the world!
What good would it do to release Yuan Tan?
If Yuan Tan is used well, he might be able to directly replace Ju Shou!
Ju Shou also possesses a passive talent that forcibly binds him to Yuan Shao.
It's like using Yuan Tan to potentially kill both Ju Shou and Yuan Shao, the two big bosses, at the same time with minimal cost!
This was an incredibly profitable deal for Cao Cao's camp.
At this moment, Guo Jia also realized that it was time for him to take action.
Otherwise, Guo Tu would definitely lose control of the situation.
What if Yuan Tan really died...
What happens next is hard to predict.
Guo Jia touched Guo Tu's large face and sighed:
“Brother Gongze, your face is as big as your magnanimity. A prime minister’s belly can hold a boat. You are destined for great wealth and honor in the future.”
Normally, if Guo Jia praised Guo Tu like this, Guo Tu would definitely be grinning from ear to ear.
But now, burdened with heavy responsibilities, Guo Tu's mood instantly collapsed, and he burst into tears while holding Guo Jia.
After Guo Tu had finished crying, Guo Jia sighed softly:
"Brother Gongze, this matter isn't actually difficult to handle; it just depends on whether you can steel yourself and go all out!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Tu's eyes widened and he said:
"What does Fengxiao mean...?"
"Brother Gongze, aren't you afraid of pain?"
Guo Jia revealed a sinister smile.
Guo Tu instantly felt a chilling wind blowing around him.
But before he could react, Guo Jia slapped him hard across the face!
"Brother Gongze, all you need to do is... to confuse Ju Shou!"
Guo Jia told Guo Tu the plan, and Guo Tu nodded heavily.
But then, Guo Tu asked curiously:
"Fengxiao, what does this plan have to do with the slap you gave me earlier?"
Guo Jia spread his hands and shrugged:
"Isn't this just to test Brother Gongze's ability to withstand pressure?"
"Besides, Brother Gongze has such a big face, I, Guo, would like to test how soft it is."
"you!!!"
Guo Tu was so angry he almost cried.
But when he thought about how he was now relying entirely on Guo Jia's strategies and fighting Ju Shou, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
……
at the same time
Xuchang
Guo Jia's guess was correct.
Yuan Tan did indeed receive a warm welcome from the cunning strategists of Cao Cao's camp in Xuchang.
Cao Cao was the first to appear.
Yuan Tan, who thought he was about to suffer humiliation, was not only not mistreated, but was also warmly embraced by Cao Cao, who called him "nephew" repeatedly.
Good guy!
Yuan Tan was moved!
He cursed himself inwardly for being such a scoundrel!
How could I scold Uncle Mengde so often when he is so kind and approachable?
Then, Cao Cao led Yuan Tan to reminisce about the past.
As Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan was six years older than Cao Ang.
When Yuan Tan was still young, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao spent all their time together, and their relationship was at its best.
To put it bluntly, if the world hadn't been in chaos, Yuan Shao would still be Cao Cao's elder brother.
Cao Cao also consistently portrayed Yuan Tan as a kind uncle.
Therefore, Yuan Tan subconsciously held a very favorable view of Cao Cao.
His usual insults towards Cao Cao were simply because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were rivals and belonged to different camps.
But the insults he hurled at Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Yuan Shang, and Lady Liu were born from his deepest hatred!
Lowering their guard, Yuan Tan and Cao Cao reminisced about some events that happened in Luoyang.
As they were talking, Cao Cao even sent someone to summon Cao Ang and instruct him to address Yuan Tan as his elder brother.
Before Cao Ang launched his campaign against Dong Zhuo, he had been raised in his hometown of Qiao County.
Therefore, this was actually the first meeting between Cao Ang and Yuan Tan.
Looking at Cao Ang's respectful expression, Yuan Tan sighed deeply.
Deep down, he longed to have a younger brother or sister like that.
Unfortunately, his birth mother died young, leaving him as her only child.
Yuan Xi was a son born out of wedlock. In a large family like the Yuan family, where the concept of "distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children" was very serious, it was destined that he could not be as close as brothers with his eldest legitimate brother, Yuan Tan.
As for Yuan Shang, needless to say.
From the moment he was born, Lady Liu constantly instilled in him the idea that "Yuan Tan is a bad person" and that they should be his enemy.
Yuan Shang, like this, wished Yuan Tan would die as soon as possible, day and night!
Let alone expect him to be on friendly terms with Yuan Tan.
Nowadays, it is Cao Ang who gives Yuan Tan the feeling of being a "younger brother".
Moreover, Cao Ang was a disciple personally taught by Su Yu.
In terms of strategy and emotional intelligence, they are both commendable.
Dealing with Yuan Tan was incredibly easy.
In just a few words, he and Yuan Tan bridged the generation gap and became like brothers.
Cao Cao chuckled and left the conversation to Cao Ang, using his busy schedule as an excuse to have Cao Ang take Yuan Tan around Xuchang on his behalf.
Under Cao Ang's "care," Yuan Tan gradually lowered his guard.
Since we're already prisoners, there's no point in being so tense.
It was clear that Ju Shou and his men wanted him dead more than Cao Cao's men!
They followed Cao Ang to a restaurant and ordered a private room.
As he was drinking, Yuan Tan suddenly burst into tears.
Cao Ang quickly and considerately comforted him, trying his best to play the role of a good younger brother.
“Brother, if you have suffered any injustice, feel free to tell Zixiu.”
"Within my power, Zixiu will certainly not hesitate to help my elder brother!"
Perhaps he was drunk, or perhaps he had truly let his guard down.
Yuan Tan began by recounting how he was mistreated by Lady Liu when he was a child, and then gradually told the story of how Lady Liu and Yuan Shang wanted him dead.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, Yuan Tan's childhood was not very pleasant.
Cao Ang's biological mother passed away shortly after giving birth to him.
Lady Dante treated Cao Ang as if he were her own child, and even adopted him as her son.
Cao Ang did not lack maternal love.
And he can proudly say that he has two mothers who love him!
In contrast, Yuan Tan, as a child, not only had to carefully deal with Lady Liu and Yuan Shang, but was also forced to accept some burdens given to him by his father, Yuan Shao.
Yuan Tan's volatile temper was probably just a protective layer.
A busy man like Yuan Shao was destined not to have much time to spend in his own backyard.
Many difficulties and troubles could only be borne by Yuan Tan alone.
Hmm, did Cao Ang feel guilty for deceiving Yuan Tan?
Of course not!
Public is public, private is private.
No matter what, Yuan Tan was an enemy.
If there could only be one winner in the struggle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Cao Ang would definitely choose his father over Yuan Shao!
Yuan Tan would only choose Yuan Shao, not Cao Cao.
Therefore, while one can pity Yuan Tan, Cao Ang will not hesitate to deceive him when necessary.
And so, Cao Ang is about to get down to some serious work!
