And this human nature is the bad nature of people. To give an inappropriate example. When a man wants to abandon his wife and children, when he does this, although he feels guilty in his heart, he is more afraid of being betrayed.

He holds grudges, so on the surface he may wish his wife and children happiness, but in fact he does not wish them a good life. It would be best if they died, so that his guilt will disappear.

Some more ruthless people, some powerful people, will trample their wives and children into the mud and then trample them to death. This is not just to make the guilt disappear, but to make the unbearable part of their human nature disappear. Yes.

Say this is a kind of perverted perfectionism.

Of course, not everyone is like this, but some people’s bad nature will overcome their good nature.

And it just so happens that Yuan Tan is this kind of person.

The kind of person who tends to perfectionism for the sake of so-called perfection, or escape psychology, and would rather let those who have let down or betrayed disappear.

Sima Yi took full advantage of this.

To move Yuan Tan, it is actually not too difficult as long as his interests and character are touched. And the most important thing is that this timing is very important. This timing is the embarrassment that Yuan Shang is running around everywhere and cannot escape.

realm.

Seeing that he was being chased and beaten by Yuan Tan, the city and others either surrendered to Cao's army, or were afraid of Yuan Tan's pursuit, so they did not dare to get close to Yuan Shang and took him under his wing. If he was said to be a treasure, how could he dare to imprison him?!

Everyone saw that he was losing ground and was obviously incapable of turning the tide.

Therefore, Yuan Shang is almost at the edge of exhaustion.

At night, by the Zhang River.

The scout also reported that there were many fewer holes for cooking, and he knew that many soldiers had fled.

Yuan Shang wrote many letters one after another, but none of them were answered. No city dared to let him defend for fear of revenge by Yuan Tan.

If the person chasing him was Cao Jun, there might be people loyal to the Yuan family who would be willing to die to take him in. However, just because it was Yuan Tan, who would be willing to get involved in this losing bet?! Can he?

If you don't betray and surrender to Cao Cao before the battle, you can already defeat Yuan Shao. As for who is the orthodox, let's wait until they fight to the death and decide the final winner!

Therefore, Yuan Shang is really at the end of his rope.

Seeing that the food and grass were all gone and he could not go back to Yecheng, his tears fell again unknowingly. He couldn't help but regret it. If he had known earlier, he should have stayed in Youzhou. At least he could keep Youzhou and not lose his life.

There are no cities to defend, and even the ability to protect oneself is lost.

Yuan Shang's generals are also very frustrated. They feel helpless every time they lose every battle. It's not that they are not strong, but that they have low morale and no confidence. Who can win?!

His counselor gave him an idea and said: "General, why not sue for peace?"

If it is asking for peace, not surrender, then it is asking for peace with Yuan Tan. If it is with someone else, it is called surrender.
