Chapter 771 Man Chong enters the city to meet Zhuge

Cao Cao finally led his troops outside Xinye City. Fortunately, since he got Zhuge Liang's ambush on Quewei Slope, there have been no ambush on the way to Xinye. Of course, this is because there is no place for ambushing anymore, otherwise Zhuge Liang might not have let Cao Cao and his Yanzhou army go. However, Xinye City has limited military strength, which is not wrong. So Zhuge Liang is more ambushing him once, and there will be no other ones.

After arriving outside Xinye City, Cao Cao ordered the entire army to set up camps on the spot and rest for a day, and talk about other things tomorrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although Cao Cao asked his own people to rest, he still had something to do. He was not asking someone to invite Man Chong. As for why he asked someone to invite Man Chong, of course he wanted to be a lobbyist again. As for whom to convince, it would be more than anything else. Apart from Zhuge Liang in Xinye City, Cao Cao no longer looked down on others.

Although Cao Cao was caught in Zhuge Liang's ambush at Queweipo, and he also humiliated the soldiers of Liu Bei's army. However, he really admired Zhuge Liang's talent, which is right. So he planned to let Man Chong go to Xinye and become a lobbyist.

After Man Chong came over, Cao Cao told him what he meant, and then Man Chong naturally would not ignore his lord.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao wrote a letter from his own hand and handed it to Man Chong, "Boning, give his confidant to Zhuge Kongming!"

"Okay! Please rest assured, lord, I will do my best!"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Although he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be able to surrender to him, no matter how you say it, it's always good to have hope, but this is correct, right?

Afterwards, Cao Cao told Man Chong a few words. Then Man Chong took his lord's handwritten letters and some gifts to Zhuge Liang, and went to Xinye. These were all prepared by Cao Cao. Whether it was successful or not, he would give Zhuge Liang some things, even though he had ambushed Cao Cao before and even let the soldiers humiliate him, Cao Cao never stings with anything outside.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Man Chong arrived at Xinye City. It went very smoothly, so he was put in. It seemed that Zhuge Liang knew about this. As soon as he said that he had been ordered by his lord to come to see Zhuge Liang, the soldiers opened a crack in the city gate and let him into the city. It was indeed unspeakable. If Man Chong hadn't known that Zhuge Liang was a scholar and had a good reputation, he almost thought that the other party was not good for him. Although it was "the two countries fought against each other and came to the envoy", this incident had not happened before.

In Zhuge Liang's mansion, Man Chong met him. When he saw this, he found that Zhuge Liang was not only not very old, but also his appearance was not so good. No wonder Liu Xuande was valued for him. Looking at his appearance, even if he was not very capable, he would probably not be hidden. Although Liu Xuande did not mean that he was judging people by his appearance, if he was not very good, it would be difficult to be valued by him. This is Man Chong's idea.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Zhuge Liang saw Man Chong brought by his servant, he smiled. "Is the person who comes here, Shanyang is Man Chong Man Boning?"

When Man Chong heard this, he was indeed a little surprised. He thought to himself, could the soldiers on the city report to Zhuge Liang so quickly? But this matter is basically impossible. After all, he could still feel whether there is any movement on the city or not when he enters the city. So, it was not the soldiers who told Zhuge Kongming that he was here. But he guessed it. So when he thought about this, Man Chong really thought that Zhuge Liang had a few moves. No wonder he could make his lord suffer a loss. Now he saw it. But it was not unreasonable.

"That's right, does Kong Ming know me too?"

Although Zhuge Liang is good at abilities, he is still much younger than Man Chong, so Man Chong had to call him the word "大天" and it is not too far away.

Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, "Of course, Boning is the number one lobbyist in the Yanzhou Army, so who doesn't know?"

Man Chong looked at Zhuge Liang's smile and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

So at this time, he could only laugh twice, and then Zhuge Liang continued to say, "Liang has forgotten, Boning, sit down quickly!"

"Thank you, Kongming!"

But Man Chong said in his heart, "I think you, Zhuge Kongming, are obviously intentional. Can you forget about this? Anyway, you don't believe it, so you did it on purpose. Fortunately, you are still good, so you will sit down at this time. If you wait until we are almost finished speaking, you will let me sit down again."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Man Chong was still complaining in his heart, Zhuge Liang looked at him with a smile, and Man Chong noticed it immediately. When he looked at Zhuge Liang's smile, he always felt something was wrong, but no matter how specific it was, he couldn't say it.

So Man Chong could only directly convince Zhuge Liang. He also knew that it was impossible for him not to know what he was doing. So he had to speak first, so he heard Man Chong say, "Kong Ming, I came to Xinye today, and I was ordered by my lord to convince you!"

As he said that, he pointed to the gift that the servant brought over, and continued, "This is some of the lord's wishes. I hope Kong Ming can accept it with a smile!"

Then he took out a letter from his arms, "This is my master's personal letter, please let Kong Ming see!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and took the letter, but did not take it apart directly, but said to Man Chong: "Boning, when you go back, please tell me and Cao Gong on my behalf. I have accepted the gifts and letters. Thank you Cao Gong on my behalf!"

Man Chong nodded, "This is natural, but Kong Ming's intention is it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Boning, you sent Cao Gong truthfully, just say that Liang said that it was said, "The way is different, and we don't plan with each other." Liang and Cao Gong are people on two roads, and they are not the same destination. How can we go together?"

When Man Chong heard this, Zhuge Liang was clear about his attitude. You see, he said it clearly, "The way is different, and he doesn't make plans with each other." Did he say it directly, it was not on the same road, so...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, Man Chong said, Zhuge Liang was just a simple person, just rejecting himself directly. Of course, you can't let others say more direct words, and Zhuge Liang couldn't say them. So this is enough, but Man Chong suddenly didn't know what he should say at this time.

However, he saw the letter from his lord who was written by Zhuge Liang on the desk. Man Chong then said, "Kong Ming, do you know if you look at the letter from his lord?"

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Does Boning really want Liang to see it?"

Man Chong smiled and said nothing, but Zhuge Liang continued, "Boning, why not bet?"

When Man Chong heard this, "How to bet? What are you betting? I wonder what Kong Ming meant?"

Man Chong felt it was a bit interesting. He usually became a lobbyist, but he had never seen this. But the person he wanted to convince today had to bet with him, so he would bet, so what else could he be afraid of? He couldn't be timid in front of him, Zhuge Kongming, you should know that he didn't represent himself. He also represented the Yanzhou army and his lord, so can he be cowardly? No, he couldn't let him be looked down upon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zhuge Liang saw Man Chong's subtle expression at this time, and he thought to himself that if he wanted to talk about Man Boning, there was such a number of people in Yanzhou Army. But Cao Mengde asked him to persuade him, that was actually a mistake. No matter how Man Boning did, it would be necessary to say how it was possible. But today he came to his Xinye City, so that was really great. No matter what the person was, in front of him, wouldn't he be obediently into the trap he had prepared long ago?

Then Zhuge Liang said, "Since Boning is interested, Liang said it directly. What we bet on is the content of your lord's letter, don't you know what?"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Man Chong was so happy and said, "Kong Ming, are you kidding me? Although I didn't see the content of my Lord's letter, I also knew that it must be persuading you. Is it not good for others? Haha!"

Who knew that when he heard Man Chong's words, Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, "Liang can only say that Boning is too ignorant of your lord!"

Man Chong heard this and said, "How can I see this?"

"Liang dares to assert that the words written in your lord's letter are naturally persuading Liang, but Liang dares to guarantee that the ultimate goal is to focus on these!"

When Man Chong heard this, he thought to himself, wasn’t his lord letting him convince Zhuge Liang? But if this was not the case, what would he ask himself to do?
