Zhang Xiu heard Dian Wei say this, at first he was furious, and when he turned around, he was about to severely punish Yang Ding again, and later heard Dian Wei say that Yang Ding used two rainstorm pear flower marksmanship, and he couldn't help but turn into shock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I saw that although Yang Ding was standing there, he was shaky, and his heart was immediately painful, it could be seen that Cao Cao was present, but he was not emotional, so he had to say: "What are you doing here, although the lord spares you from death, I can't escape the responsibility, you go back to recuperate first, and after the injury is healed, go to the barracks with me to receive three hundred military sticks! At that time, let the captain personally examine the injury! Did you hear clearly?"

"No!" Yang Ding agreed with difficulty, and then turned around and left tremblingly, the soldiers wanted to step forward to help, but Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Don't care about him, let him go by himself!"

No one saw the tears hidden under Zhang Xiu's human-skin mask.

Do demons shed tears, too? Zhang Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly, but his smile was also hidden behind the mask, and all he showed everyone was a face that was never expressionless.

Cao Cao said meaningfully to Zhang Xiu: "Fancheng has changed hands several times, the people's will is fluctuating, it must be rectified as soon as possible, Shanyang is full of favor and Boning has extraordinary ability, and he has rectified the chaotic Puyang and Xu Du in a short period of time, he is now serving as Xu Ling, and I will transfer him to Fancheng in a few days to assist the general to stabilize the law and order here!"

Zhang Xiu was shocked, but there was no strange look in his mouth: "Thank you, lord!"

Cao Cao walked up to Zou Yun and said, "Madam is frightened, since General Zhang Xiu is here, I will rest assured, evil comes, Anmin, we will also go back!"

"No!"

Cao Cao and his party left, Zhang Xiu looked at Zou Yun expressionlessly, although he had always been expressionless, but he said to Xiaohong sternly: "I told you that it's very messy outside now, don't let Madame come out, now Madame is frightened, you say, how do you want to die?"

Xiaohong didn't care at first, but when Zhang Xiu said the last sentence, her face turned pale, and she knelt in front of Zhang Xiu: "The slave doesn't know that it will become like this, the slave and the maid will not dare next time, please spare the slave and the maid this time!"

"Do you dare to have a next time?" Zhang Xiu kicked Xiaohong, drew his sword and was about to stab, Zou Yun had already stopped in front of him: "Cao Cao didn't do anything to me, whether you believe it or not, this Xiaohong was my personal maid when I married your uncle, I have always been like sisters, my whole family was killed by Cai Mao, and now only she is with her, if you kill her and leave me alone, it is better to kill me first! Besides, what do I have to do with her today?

Zhang Xiu suddenly changed color, abandoned the sword and knelt on the ground and said: "Why did my aunt say this? Even if my nephew has a hundred courages, I don't dare to do this, my nephew can have today, thanks to my uncle's support, my uncle was killed, and my nephew is like his own mother since he was the aunt in question..."

"I'm tired and want to go back to rest!" Zou Yun straightened his filial piety clothes and shouted lazily, "Xiaohong, help me go back!"

"No, madam!" The little red on the ground got up in embarrassment, glanced at Zhang Xiu timidly, didn't dare to look at it again, trotted to Zou Yun, and slowly left, only Zhang Xiu himself shouted angrily at the guards: "Don't escort your aunt back to the house!"

"No!"

When he returned to the mansion, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be furious, if it weren't for the presence of everyone, he would have asked that Zou Yun if he was planning to break the covenant and pick up Cao Cao's high branch to climb! What was the private relationship between the two? Did the woman think that this private affair would not see the light of day, so she wanted to strangle it in secret? Although she didn't say anything, her cold words and merciless whipping at him had proved everything:

He is not as good as Cao Cao, not as good as politics, not as good as scheming, even worse than fighting, and now he is even worse in appearance, talent, and open-mindedness, so he even has to give away this hard-won relationship?

"Lord Qi Qi! Lord Jia Xu is here, just wait outside the door!" reported the guards at the door.

Zhang Xiu calmed down: "Let him come in!"

"No!"

"The general doesn't seem to be in a good mood!" Jia Xu paced in slowly, looking at Zhang Xiu, whose mouth was twitching in the room.

"It's not just not good, it's just bad!" Zhang Xiu said depressedly, "You have always been a well-informed person who is better informed than me, and today's things must have been clearer than me!"

"Hehe, why should the general be angry, Cao Cao didn't do anything excessive!" Jia Xu twisted his eight-character beard and said leisurely, "The reason why the East Market is chaotic today is because the people of Fancheng are not yet used to the new master Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's original intentions will also cause misunderstanding among the people!"

"It's not too much! What should it be too much!" Zhang Xiu said indignantly, slamming his fist on the doorpost, and suddenly a pit appeared on it, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape.

Jia Xu was also surprised by Zhang Xiu's big reaction: "Is the general hiding something from me?"

"Cao Cao told me today that he plans to transfer Ling Manzhong to Fancheng to rectify the law and order, what do you think of Wen He?" Zhang Xiu did not answer Jia Xu's question, but turned back to look at Jia Xu and asked rhetorically, although he knew that this trick of diverting attention must not be hidden from Jia Xu.

Jia Xu knew that he had asked a question that should not be asked, and he smiled dumbly, in fact, even if he didn't ask, he guessed eight or nine points, since Zhang Xiu came into contact with Zou Yun, many things have undergone subtle changes, thinking like this in his heart, he has already said what he has prepared without thinking: "This is not strange, Fancheng is adjacent to Xiangyang, if Cao Cao leaves rashly, it will definitely be taken by Liu Biao, how can he give his hard-earned city to others? ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked when she heard this: "Cao Cao really doesn't trust us?"

Jia Xu smiled: "It's normal to distrust, no one can rest assured that their former opponent will guard the border, although Cao Cao is very comparable, but he will not be stupid enough to use his world as a bet, but such a person is still very much in line with my appetite!"

Zhang Xiu knew that Jia Xu must have already made some moves, so he asked respectfully, "What is the best plan for Mr.?"

Jia Xu didn't hide it, and said eloquently: "Cao Cao made up his mind to come from afar, and he must have a perfect strategy to deal with the surrounding Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and other princes in Yanzhou, and this battle was quickly resolved, and not much grain and grass were consumed at all, he stayed here and didn't leave, he must be waiting for a big battle with Liu Biao!"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback: "Why did Mr. say this?"

Jia Xu continued: "After the general surrendered to Cao Cao, he didn't notice anything wrong?"

Zhang Xiu frowned and thought for a while, "What's wrong?"

Jia Xu got up and raised his hand to the south: "We have formed an alliance with Liu Biao and agreed to attack and defend together, and now that we have surrendered to him, why is there no news from Liu Biao? Is it really broken off the alliance, or?"

Zhang Xiu understood and immediately asked, "Mr. said that Cao Cao had already sent troops to Xinye before he came?"

Jia Xu nodded: "It is very likely, Cao Cao's march to this road will take half a month, we have been fighting with other horses for a few days, and now it has fallen for a few days, and Liu Biao has no news to come, when I learned the news of Cao Cao's army, I have already sent people and horses to Liu Biao, and Xinye guards the main road between Fancheng and Xiangyang, and is adjacent to the water, if you want to block the news, you can go downstream, and you can do it in a few days!"

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but shudder: "Cao Cao wants me to completely obey him!"

Jia Xu took the opportunity to say: "For today's plan, the only way to do it is to send a group of men and horses to ambush in Fancheng and Xinye, Cao Cao wants to cut off Liu Biao's contact with us, we will cut off his connection with his eyeliner, in terms of Liu Biao's reaction speed, we want to flank Cao Cao, it's still too late, but, the consequences of doing this, the general should think about it!"

"Think about it, sir, why do we have to listen to Cao Cao's orders? Isn't it better to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and order the heroes to join forces? Jointly pacify the world!" Zhang Xiu said this, and he was also a little shocked, because he had never said these words to Jia Xu, and if he wasn't angry now, he might be rotting in his stomach forever.

Jia Xu was shocked, it is true that it is the dream of every prince to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and order the princes, except for a fool like Yuan Shao. But now from the mouth of Zhang Xiu, who once didn't understand politics at all, Jia Xu himself was shocked, politics is really a terrible thing, but who can escape its temptation?

In my heart, I had to have an expression of approval on my face: "Sure enough, the general has lofty ambitions, and we want to go together!"

"That's what the gentleman thinks, that's wonderful!" Zhang Xiu said with great joy, "Without further ado, who is the best to send out of the city now?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang Quan and Zhang Linger were captured by Cao Ang and Cao Anmin, and he lost his fighting spirit, Hu Che'er was seriously injured and recuperated, and Yang Ding seems to be seriously injured today, and the only person available is Lei Xu, but Lei Xu is brave and unstrategic, and he must be assisted by Zuo Ling, who joins the army, and the plan can be successful!"

"Just according to Mr.'s words!" Zhang Xiu walked up to Jia Xu and said thoughtfully: "Mr. is forty years old this year, and has changed hands several times, but now he has come to me, but it is likely to lead you to a point of no return, Mr. has paid too much for me, and I can only make an illusory promise to Mr."

Jia Xu smiled disapprenosingly: "The general's words are to regard me as an outsider, I follow Zhang Hussar, know him as a person, the two do not doubt each other, the general inherits the great ambition, I should do my best to assist, what is the future? The year of the Mandate of Heaven is not far away, what more can the husband ask for? But the conscience of the religion is not clear!"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was even more useful, and immediately bowed deeply to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up: "General, please get up, when this is not a thank you, the top priority is to quickly select the right person to carry out this task, and the transfer of soldiers and horses must be approved by Cao Cao, so it is best to disguise yourself as civilians and hide from Cao Cao's sight, but judging from Cao Cao's attention to the south of the city, ordinary people are still under strict interrogation when they go out of the city, let alone carrying weapons?"

Zhang Xiu frowned and said in distress: "It's true, Cao Cao is such a smart person, it's not easy to hide from his attention." ”

"But sometimes being smart is mistaken by being smart!" Jia Xu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought about it, "I will personally go to see Cao Cao and ask him to agree to hand over the south gate to the general to garrison." ”
