Chapter 594: Zhang Xiu is dead
Now that Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses have arrived, Yuan Yao does not need to be too conservative, and immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses to be chased out, and it is necessary to leave Cao Cao's soldiers and horses as much as possible in the wild, even if he can't take Xu Ducheng, he will be disgusted to death Cao Cao.

There was an interception after chasing the soldiers before and after, Cao Cao's army had never been so sad, and he was not so embarrassed when Cao Cao was defeated by Dong Zhuo.
But now, he Cao Cao is about to cry.
was deceived by Yuan Yao'er from Xudu City, not only was the main force disabled, but now even returning to Xudu is a luxury.
"Yuan Yao, I'll fight with you!" Cao Cao was about to turn around and fight with Yuan Yaoxiao'er.
"The soldiers listened to the order and fought with Yuan Yao'er!" Cao Cao didn't say this sentence yet, but he was pulled by the person on the side, "Lord, what are we going to fight!" "If Lao Cao goes to fight, I don't know if Yuan Yao Xiao'er will die or not, but Cao Cao must be dead.
Because Yuan Yao'er's soldiers and horses over there were like chicken blood, they fought towards this side, and they fought with the wind, who didn't want to fight, and Cao Cao's side, this side was originally retreating, but it was forced to be defeated, and there were Xiliang Iron Cavalry over there. "Protect the lord and withdraw to Xu Du!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly struck his horse and came out, "The divine march army is out of the ranks, follow me to stop the enemy!" ā
"Yes!" Xiahou Yuan took the initiative to ask the queen of the palace, and Cao Cao burst into tears, because he knew that once the queen of the palace was basically nine deaths.
The Divine Marching Army, the main force in his Cao Cao's hands, may never come back.
"Kill!" Under the command of Xiahou Yuan, the Divine Marching Army actually rushed towards the enemy over there in the opposite direction, and the earth-shattering shouting of killing made people feel a chord in their hearts.
Under this stunned look, the Divine Marching Army actually fought a perfect counterattack, and Yuan Yaochong's two thousand-strong teams at the front were swallowed up by the Cao army over there at once.
"Cao Jun actually fought back!" Yuan Yao was also stunned, he didn't expect this Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to be so fierce.
"Brothers, behind us is Xudu, our last barrier, our home! Can you put these robbers from Huainan back home? Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly.
"Can't, can't!"
"Protect the lord, protect Yanzhou! Kill, kill, kill! "The Divine Marching Army, under the command of Xiahou Yuan over there, interrupted Yuan Yao's pursuit.
"Protect the lord, protect Yanzhou!"
Gao Shun was on Yuan Yao's side, and he was about to take a step out subconsciously, ready to face the God March, but Chen Deng on the side grabbed Gao Shun and said to Yuan Yao, "Lord, let me go!" ā
"Yuanlong, your soldiers and horses?" Chen Deng's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses in the battle with Zang Ba, a battalion of soldiers and horses is now only more than 2,000 people, and the number of Shenxing troops on the opposite side is much more than Chen Deng. If this continues, this Guangling County will be destroyed.
"No problem!" Chen Deng took a step forward, he came this time to show his loyalty in front of Yuan Yao, the Guangling army can be defeated, but he must show his Guangling Chen family's loyalty to Yuan Yao in front of Yuan Yao.
"Okay, stay safe!" Yuan Yao didn't stop it, since the Chen family wants to show their sincerity, then give it a chance.
The Guangling army fought a tailwind battle, and although the Shenxing army was counterattacking, they had no way to retreat because they were behind Xu Du.
When Guangling encountered the Shenxing Army, the two sides were evenly matched, killing each other.
The number of Guangling troops over there is still too small, and if it goes on like this, it is indeed possible to block Cao Cao's divine marching army, but in the end, the Guangling army is bound to be wiped out.
"Gao Shun Zhang Xun, go and pick up Chen Deng!" Yuan Yao still needs Chen Yuanlong's ability, although the Chen family is showing loyalty, but you can't let Don Biao die, that is really chilling, Chen Deng can't say it on the surface, he must be uncomfortable in his heart.
"The last general commands!"
The trapped camp plus the Modao battalion and Guangling County were going to besiege the Shenxing army, and Cao Cao could only send Zang Ba's Taishan army over again.
After fighting like this, Yuan Yao simply did not pursue Cao Cao's army, but prepared to swallow the Shenxing army and the Taishan army first.
Cao Cao could only watch as his elite men were wiped out by Yuan Yao little by little, but he was powerless.
"Poof!" Cao Cao almost had a mouthful of blood and couldn't hold back and spit it out. "God's eyes, God's eyes, let a child like Yuan Yao gain power!"
The Shenxing Army looked at death as if he were at home, and he had to lower his head in the face of absolute strength, and soon the Shenxing Army over there was strangled and killed, and the Taishan Army was even more miserable and almost annihilated, Zang Ba was also captured alive, and only Xiahou Yuan ran away.
In Xudu City, Lao Cao relied on the destruction of the Shenxing Army and the Taishan Battalion to earn precious time and hid in Xudu City.
"Hiding in the city, I can't help you?" Yuan Yao has almost wiped out Cao Cao's vital strength, and now there are some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, what else is he afraid of Yuan Yao.
What's more, he Yuan Yao is not idle, although there are not many trebuchets in his hands, there are still more than a dozen of them.
"Pass the order down, give me three missing one! Then give me the trebuchet to be safe in the south, and I will catch turtles in an urn in Xudu! Yuan Yao said with a sneer.
"Report!" There was good news sent to Yuan Yao, "Back to the lord, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy losses, and there were less than a few hundred people left, absconding, and General Zhang Xun of the West Gate came to report that the Nanyang Army had taken the West Gate and was attacking the inner city!" ā
"Good, good, good!" Yuan Yao smiled and spoke, it would have taken a little time to open the city gate of Xu Du, but he didn't expect the Nanyang Army over there to send a pillow and directly open the city gate.
If the outer city is broken, this Cao Cao still has a little way to live.
"Someone come with me to meet General Zhang Xiu!" Yuan Yao couldn't wait to see Zhang Xiu, and he naturally wanted to be rewarded for his merits, this Zhang Xiu not only sent reinforcements to his orders, but also helped Yuan Yao attack Xu Du, such a hero is really sorry if he doesn't reward him, Yuan Yao immediately rode his war horse towards the West Gate.
"What about General Zhang Xiu? Where is General Zhang Xiu! "Yuan Yao is overjoyed, Zhang Xiu's reinforcements really live up to his trust, Yuan Yao decided to reward Zhang Xiu well.
Playing against Zhang Xiu, Yuan Yao still likes Zhang Xiu very much.
Zhang Xiu was the nephew of the hussar general Zhang Ji. When Bian Zhang and Han Sui were in rebellion in Liangzhou, Jincheng's Lu Sheng attacked and killed Zu Li Chang Liu Jun. Zhang Xiu was a county official at the time, and soon looked for an opportunity to assassinate Lu Sheng, and the people in the county thought that he was very righteous, so Zhang Xiu recruited a young man and became a local hero.
In the third year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others attacked Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo. Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji and was promoted to General Jianzhong with military merits and was named Marquis Xuanwei.
In the first year of Jian'an, Zhang Ji led troops from Guanzhong into Jingzhou due to a lack of food in the army, fought with Liu Biao, attacked the city, and died in the middle of the arrow.
Zhang Xiu took over his troops and withdrew from the city. Jingzhou officials congratulated Liu Biao after learning about it. Liu Biao said: "Zhang Ji came to the end of the road, but I, as the master, was so rude, this is not my intention, so I am only condoled and not congratulated." After that, Liu Biao sent people to lure the rest of Zhang Ji's troops, and all of them were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they all obeyed. Liu Biao then arranged for Zhang Xiu to garrison troops in Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu became Liu Biao's vassal force in the north to defend him against foreign enemies.
In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south, the troops reached Shuishui, and Zhang Xiu led the people to surrender. Cao Cao accepted Zhang Ji's widow, Madame Zou, and Zhang Xiu hated Cao Cao because of this. Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill Zhang Xiu. As a result, the plan was leaked, Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao was defeated, his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin were killed, and the fierce general Dian Wei was killed. Zhang Xiu led his troops in pursuit, but was repelled by Cao Cao, so Zhang Xiu retreated to defend the city and allied with Liu Biao again.
In March of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south against Zhang Xiu and surrounded the city that Zhang Xiu was defending. Soon, Cao Cao heard that Yuan Shao wanted to take advantage of the attack to capture Xudu, so he immediately retreated from the city. Zhang Xiu led his troops to follow the pursuit, and Liu Biao also sent the Jingzhou army to occupy Anzhong, cut off the retreat of Cao's army, and tried to attack Cao's army with Zhang Xiu. After Cao's army was victorious, they quickly retreated north. Zhang Xiu personally led his troops to pursue, but Jia Xu dissuaded: "Don't chase, you will be defeated." Zhang Xiu didn't listen, forcibly pursued, and was defeated by Cao Cao himself. Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu at this time: "Hurry up and chase again, you will definitely win." Zhang Xiu said: "I didn't listen to your advice to get to this point, and now I've been defeated, why do you want to chase it again?" Jia Xu said: "The situation has changed, hurry up and chase to make a profit." Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's advice, collected stragglers, and then pursued, and actually defeated Cao Cao's rearguard troops.
After the victory, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu what was going on, and Jia Xu explained: "This truth is easy to understand. Although the general is good at using soldiers, he is by no means Cao Gong's opponent. Although the Cao army has just withdrawn, but Cao Gong must be the queen in person, although our pursuers are fine, but the generals can't compare to them, and their soldiers are still very morale, so I know that you will be defeated, general. The reason why Cao Cao withdrew his troops before he tried his best must have something wrong in the rear, so after breaking the general's pursuit, he will definitely retreat with all his strength, leaving others to break the queen, although the generals he left behind are powerful, they are not as good as the generals, so I know that the generals can win with defeated troops. Zhang Xiu was greatly impressed.
Meritorious service
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's advice and surrendered to Cao Cao again. After Zhang Xiu arrived, Cao Cao took Zhang Xiu's hand and attended the banquet together, married Zhang Xiu's daughter for his son Cao Jun, and named Zhang Xiu as the general of Yangwu.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu participated in the battle of Guandu, fought meritoriously, and was promoted to the general of Poqiang.
Ten years of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu followed Cao Cao to break Yuan Tan in Nanpi, and increased the food again, a total of 2,000 households, at that time, the world's household registration decreased sharply, and only one household was left in ten, and the generals did not reach 1,000 households, but Zhang Xiu was particularly many.
Because of the appearance of Yuan Yao, this world is gone, and after Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao and killed Cao Cao's son Cao Ang.
But Zhang Xiu's strength is not weak at all. Yuan Yao had already surrendered Zhang Xiu and used Zhang Xiu as an army, and Zhang Xiu was no worse than Zhang Liao and others in military terms.
But I didn't expect this Jia Xu to bring an unexpected news.
"Zhang Xiu is dead?" Yuan Yao was still immersed in the joy of victory just now, and the Nanyang army really listened to his order, and set off from Nanyang to hit Cao Cao by surprise, and the result was the battle of Xudu, and Cao Cao was completely defeated.
The result of the fight is that Cao Cao's army is defeated and killed, and he Yuan Yao will be able to recover the entire Yanzhou, and then send someone to contact the Zhong family in Luoyang to see if he can subdue the Cao army far away in Luoyang.
In this way, Yuan Yao really became the overlord of the Central Plains, but before the good news could be spread, a news was sent from there, Zhang Xiu died, Zhang Xiu actually died, not only Zhang Xiu died, but the entire Nanyang County was also lost.
