Chapter 647 Zhang He and Wei Yan, the two elders, Su Yu bewitches Zhong Yao again!
"This……"
"What should Ju do then?"
Unlike Lu Zhe, Ju Zong was not foolish enough to listen to the advice of the senior Chen Gong.
"Try to avoid fighting Cao Cao's army. Continue to send people to Zhong Yao's side and intensify your persuasion efforts!"
A murderous glint flashed in Chen Gong's eyes.
When it comes to hatred for Cao Cao's camp, Chen Gong is second only to Sima Hui.
But he was rational and knew that the key to the matter still lay with Zhong Yao.
Once Zhong Yao betrays them, these hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in Ji Province will embark on a path of no return.
But Chen Gong was unaware that Zhong Yao was already completely captivated by Su Yu's endless flattery and couldn't extricate himself!
Last time, Su Yu borrowed a servant from the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat to send an urgent letter to Zhong Yao.
This means that the position of Grand Commandant, the head of the three palaces, must belong to him!
Now, Su Yu has unleashed another decisive blow.
After Lao Zhong becomes Grand Commandant, the position of Commandant of the Capital Region that he currently holds can still be left to Sima Yi!
Upon hearing this, Lao Zhong exclaimed, "This is good! This is great!"
The appointment of Grand Commandant meant that he had obtained the official position of Yuan Kui, the former head of the most powerful clans in the land.
Their influence among aristocratic families will undoubtedly reach new heights.
However, Zhong Yao would certainly be reluctant to give up the position of Commandant of the Capital Region for the sake of the position of Grand Commandant.
The Commandant of the Capital Region, despite his apparent power, is roughly equivalent to the Governor of a province.
But the geographical location of Guanzhong is just too important!
To the west, it connects to Liangzhou and Yizhou; to the south, it connects to Hanzhong; and to the east, it connects to Hangu Pass and Guandong.
Zhong Yao wanted to keep this position firmly in the hands of his own people for a long time.
As the number two figure in the group, Du Ji will definitely be promoted later, most likely to become one of the Nine Ministers.
Sima Yi, as the third-ranking figure, was also Zhong Yao's "true" confidant!
The relationship between the two, which was like that of a godfather and godson, made Zhong Yao believe that Sima Yi could shine in the position of Commandant of the Capital Region and continue to carry out his orders steadfastly!
Zhong Yao was overjoyed at the thought of Su Yu's humiliated appearance.
Hmph, Su Ziyi, I never thought you'd have to ask me, Zhong Yuanchang, for help one day!
Once people get carried away, they are bound to misjudge the situation.
Zhong Yao was already somewhat undecided about the matter of betrayal.
Now that Su Yu has offered a suitable price, Zhong Yao has no reason to suddenly betray him.
Even the way he looked at Ju Zonghua and his faction was filled with disdain.
in fact.
Zhong Yao had one undeniable flaw.
He entered officialdom at a young age, shortly after Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne.
Having witnessed the glory of those aristocratic families during that era, he knew better than anyone just how powerful they truly were!
But at that time, he was not the one who could make decisions among the major powerful families; he was at most an observer, which made him even more eager to hold power!
He Jin was awesome, right? The Ten Attendants were awesome, right?
With just one scheme, Yuan Wei wiped out He Jin and the Ten Attendants! And caused all of Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong's plans to fall apart!
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was so powerful that it seemed to shake the very foundation of the Han Dynasty.
The truth is that the powerful families of Ji Province and the powerful families of Yu Province are vying for the position of family leader.
It's both laughable and pathetic!
Two years after Ju Shou's coming-of-age ceremony, at the age of seventeen, he was directly recommended as a talented scholar and became the Prefect of Ji Province, wielding power over the powerful families of Ji Province.
Yuan Shao, commanding troops from four provinces, was forced to surrender by Ju Shou, leading to his downfall.
Zhong Yao still believed that powerful families were invincible.
No matter how powerful Cao Cao was, everything he did ultimately benefited the powerful clans.
Now, having grown from a mere ant to a towering figure in the aristocratic faction, he deeply feels the immense power he wields.
When people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lustful desires. Zhong Yao lost the determination of Ju Zong to fight to the death, but still possessed the arrogance of the old era.
This is the fundamental reason why Su Yu was able to scheme against him all the way and even turn him into "Prison Bell"!
Zhong Yao is not weak, but Su Yu is his nemesis!
Therefore, Chen Gong's hopes were ultimately nothing but a mirage.
Even if the powerful families of Ji Province were completely wiped out, Zhong Yao would still not send a single soldier to provide support.
They might even stomp on it twice.
……
"Damn! How could Ju Zong be like this?"
Guangzong 100 li away
Zhang He was quite helpless.
Chen Gong's prediction was entirely correct. Zhang He, the sixth brother, was a bait sent by Cao Cao's camp to lure Ju Zong into a trap!
"Fine, let's try a different way to seduce her."
"I told you it was too obvious!"
Beside Zhang He, Wei Yan stood with his hands on his hips and spoke.
With this move, they each became the commander of a Cao army.
But in order to let Lao Liu's glory shine across the sky, the two of them joined forces and became Lao Liu together.
"Wen Chang, have you heard?"
"Before Zilong went to war, he was drunk by those little rascals Zhang Hu, Le Chen, and Xu Gai!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's only because Zilong has a good temper."
"If it were me, I would not only send those kids back to their respective fathers, but I would also take the opportunity to demand compensation for emotional distress!"
Zhang He said with a grin.
Wei Yan stroked his chin, looking at Zhang He with a puzzled expression:
"Do you think we should deliberately invite some kids to drink next time, so they'll think we're taking them on an expedition?"
"We'll set up a honey trap when we actually go to war!"
Zhang He suddenly realized, and clapped his hands:
"Tsk, it has to be you, Wen Chang!"
"Did your master teach you this staged accident technique?"
Wei Yan gave a thumbs up:
"of course!"
"Don't you even know who my master is?"
"Back then, he was only a teenager, yet he managed to fool a group of bandits into treating him like their ancestor. They obediently sent him back to his hometown, made him his bodyguard for free, and even fed and taken from him!"
"As his disciple, I, Wei Wenchang, naturally cannot lose face!"
Zhang He's eyes grew increasingly bright:
"Okay, okay, we'll just use this trick to fool those kids!"
"It can be considered as giving them a harsh lesson, helping them to understand the dangers of the world and the wickedness of people's hearts!"
The two exchanged a smile, recognizing the cunning in each other's eyes.
As for where he learned modern vocabulary, it was of course from Su Yu's mouth!
Just as Zhao Yun said.
Among Cao Cao's generals, Zhang He and Wei Yan were the absolute top six!
Zhang He is "clever and adaptable," possesses high emotional intelligence, is a quick learner, and especially enjoys learning from Su Yu.
Wei Yan was originally a good kid, but unfortunately he met Jia Xu as soon as he started out and was even taken in as a disciple.
