Zhu Danxi hurriedly said, "Master Li, please return soon. My life is in your hands."
"Don't worry, Cai Xiang's friends are my friends, Li Yuan. Even if it costs me my life, I will rescue you from Hangu Pass."
Li Yuan just said it casually.
But Zhu Danxi took it seriously.
This old man really wants to live.
Li Yuan's main purpose of this trip was to discuss with Ying Chengjiao when and where to surrender to the Chu army.
As long as this is finalized, it will give the Qin State enough room to maneuver.
It took a whole day to reach the Qin army camp.
When we arrived, it was already early the next morning.
Ying Chengjiao was waiting in person at the gate of the camp.
After seeing him, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Prince Chang'an, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
"Are you... the Chu envoy? I didn't expect Marshal Xiang to send you here. Come into the camp and have a chat."
Ying Chengjiao was very angry.
The former arrogance is gone.
Instead, he seemed to be trying to lick Li Yuan's boots.
After all, he would be a minister of Chu in the future.
It's always good to have more friends.
Li Yuan and Xiang Liang were accompanied by a group of about a hundred people.
The reason why Xiang Yan did not send more troops was because he wanted to express his sincerity.
On the way to the big tent, Gao Lishi secretly slipped a note into Li Yuan's hand when they passed by each other.
Li Yuan understood and remained calm.
During this period, no one noticed anything unusual.
During this period of time, Yu Jin has fully gained Ying Chengjiao's trust.
The main reason is that Cao Cao is too scheming.
Normally, according to common sense, Cao Cao would have sent troops to capture Yu Jin if he had "escaped".
However, these past few days, there has been no news from his side.
It was precisely because of this that Ying Chengjiao believed that Yu Jin and Cao Cao had really broken up.
After all, this is an extraordinary period. Once Yu Jin's affairs are made public, it will inevitably affect the morale of our army.
By that time, Cao Cao would lose more than he gained.
Therefore, what a truly smart person does is not to leak any information.
In Ying Chengjiao's eyes, Cao Cao was such a smart person.
If Cao Cao really made a big fuss about this matter, it would make Ying Chengjiao suspect that there was something fishy going on.
In this way, Cao Cao cleverly grasped Ying Chengjiao's character and then made full use of it.
This indirectly led to Ying Chengjiao losing his guard against Jin.
He even told Yu Jin that he intended to surrender to the State of Chu.
At that time, Yu Jin was also a good actor.
He was shocked at first, and then fell into a brief silence.
Just when Ying Chengjiao was about to kill, Yu Jin suddenly agreed to it.
This completely dispelled the former's doubts.
Therefore, Yu Jin can now be regarded as Ying Chengjiao's confidant.
However, he never dreamed that his every move at this moment was being monitored by many people.
Normally, most of the generals whom he regarded as his confidants secretly defected to Cao Cao.
Therefore, when it came to surrendering to the State of Chu, most of the people around him were just pretending to be him.
I have to say, this is a very sad thing.
What's strange is that he stood against Cao Cao and others.
This is equivalent to a mentally retarded child challenging the IQ of a top student.
