Zhou Cang, who rushed to hear that Zhang Xiu had woken up, explained everything to Zhang Xiu.

It turned out that this morning, Cao Cao ordered that all the collected Zhang Xiujun soldiers and armor be returned to Zhang Xiujun, and the curfew was lifted, allowing Zhang Xiu's soldiers to enter and leave Shouchun City. However, Cao Jun issued an internal order not to allow a single soldier or general to enter the city without permission to disturb the people.

When Zhang Xiu heard the news, she just wondered if she hadn't woken up yet? After all, Cao Cao's current measures have made Cao's army still stop outside Shouchun City, while Zhang Xiujun's army still controls Shouchun City, and most importantly, it remains armed.

Of course, there is also relatively bad news. That is, Cao Cao set up another banquet and invited Zhang Xiu's generals to eat and drink.

The banquet started at noon, and Zhang Xiu estimated that the time should be over. When Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er were invited, their first reaction was to refuse. But Cao Cao wanted to see Hu Che'er's demeanor by name, and as for Zhou Cang, who was not very conspicuous and famous, he allowed him to stay and protect Zhang Xiu.

Knowing that Cao Cao's invitation list did not have him, Zhang Xiu's reaction was flat. He had already guessed what Cao Cao wanted to do.

The best battle in the heart!

Victory in military strategy alone cannot conquer this group of civil and military talents who already have masters, so show your mind and conquer them with your strong heart. At this point, Cao Cao is full of confidence in his personality charm.

There is one of Zhang Xiujun's civil and military cadres who did not go to the banquet, that is, Tuntian Zhonglang General - Li Tong.

Li Tong was born in Cao Ying, and later semi-actively and semi-passively surrendered to Zhang Xiu. At this moment, Zhang Xiuju's whole army surrendered, but Li Tong didn't think about how to face Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao had never met Li Tong, Xun You, who was in charge of the military and political affairs, was personally responsible for receiving Li Tong in Xuchang that day. Under his peace, Cao Cao also ignored his previous suspicions and wrote down the name of this person on the invitation list.

But Li Tong couldn't get over that hurdle by himself. originally planned to never see Cao Cao again for the rest of his life. It's also on the battlefield to see you, but I didn't expect to see it again so soon, but in a very special way.

I never expected it!

Today's result is something that most people never expected.

Zhang Xiu, who was newly promoted, expelled Yuan Shu in a short period of time and dominated the four counties of Huainan. But it only lost more than half of the main force in just one battle. Then he surrendered directly to Cao Cao!

The situation is changing at such a rapid pace that the world cannot accept.

Even, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao couldn't accept it themselves.

Zhang Xiu couldn't accept it because the gap was too big.

He is also the pride of the sky in the 21st century, and since he has crossed over, he has led the Yongliang army to the Central Plains, and the battle of Runan has blown the horn of his march into Huainan. Then marched into Huainan and fought Yuan Shu three times. After passing through Jiujiang and Ruyin, Liu Xun of Lujiang was pacified and most of Guangling was taken. The army under his command has expanded from less than 100,000 to more than 200,000, and the number of civil and military talents has increased from Jia Xu Hu Che'er to dozens of people, as if he has become a hegemon in the Central Plains.

Later, when Huainan was extremely embarrassed by natural disasters and man-made disasters, Zhang Xiu even resolutely sent troops to Xuzhou to rescue Lu Bulu Fengxian, who had a cold lips and teeth. Although Xuzhou could not be kept after that, the march into Xuchang greatly alleviated the problem of food shortage in Huainan.

This battle also announced to the world that Zhang Xiu is a hero who is interested in the world!

Just when Huainan was about to go through the most difficult days, Cao's army sent troops.

Cao Cao prepared a full 400,000 people for the Battle of Qiyang! Originally, 150,000 yuan was enough to pay for the expedition to Huainan, but in order to use the strategy of stealing beams and changing pillars, the number of people to be recruited was increased by two or three times, so that the grain and grass actually prepared by Cao Jun was actually only enough for a month.

This means that in fact, as long as Zhang Xiu gives up Ruyin and shrinks his forces to defend Shouchun City, which is strong and deep, he only needs to hold on for a month, and Cao's army will have to retreat.

But Zhang Xiu didn't, and gave up this strategy that could allow Huainan to survive this winter at the lowest cost. Instead, they tried to defeat the main force of Cao's army in terms of tactics and tactics, in order to break into Cao Cao's territory and plunder grain and grass for Huainan to better survive the difficulties. Similarly, it also weakens Cao Cao's strength to the greatest extent and dominates the Central Plains!

There is no doubt that Zhang Xiu is ambitious, and his eyes are frustrated. Not only failed to defeat Cao Cao, but also folded half of the main force.

What Cao Cao never expected was that his road to unifying the Central Plains was too smooth!

Since welcoming Emperor Han Xian's capital Xuchang, Cao Cao only felt that his spring had arrived.

First, it justifiably took over the vast Sili area near Luoyang, the ownerless eastern capital. Then he captured Wancheng, the center of the world, and stifled the Jingxiang force's attempt to expand to the Central Plains in one fell swoop. and then solved the problems of henchmen Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian in one fell swoop, and took a piece of territory in Hedong and Hanoi by the way. Now it is a war to determine Huainan, and since then there has been no local prince in the Central Plains who can compete with Cao Cao.

Thinking that he would officially occupy most of the Central Plains after that, Cao Cao felt that the goal he longed for was already within reach.

Although the current Central Plains has greatly decreased in population and cultivated area due to perennial wars, it is still the center of the traditional royal land with a thick foundation. Relying on his Cao Cao's virtue, the high civil affairs ability of his subordinate officials, and the pioneering Tuntian measures, without a few years of recuperation, he Cao Mengde can really crush any enemy who dares to block his progress with absolute strength.

Including the so-called Lord of Hebei Yuan Shao, I heard that this old dog has not yet destroyed the hard bone of Gongsun Zhan, and the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan who can't be killed no matter how he destroys.

In other words, Yuan Shao has not unified Hebei until now, but he has taken a step ahead of him.

Hebei is much colder than Huainan, and it is extremely inconvenient to send troops in winter. Therefore, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Gongsun Zhan's last stronghold - Yijing as early as the beginning of spring next year. He could have personally led a large army to attack Qingzhou, which was occupied by Yuan Shao, when his attention turned to deal with Gongsun Zan and guard against Zhang Yan. At that time, the Central Plains south of the Yellow River will be all Cao Cao's territory, and the main or most of the five prefectures of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Qingzhou, and Yangzhou will be completely crushed.

As long as Yuan Shao is defeated as soon as possible, then the Sun family, who has not yet gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, and the dogs who defend the land such as Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, are not worried.

Thinking that he could reunify the Han dynasty in his lifetime, Cao Cao always felt an inexplicable majestic generosity in his heart. When the time comes, whether to be a sage through the ages like Zhou Gong Huo Guang, or to replace him like Wang Mang, is all in his Cao Mengde's thoughts.

Last night, Zhang Xiu was sent back to Zhang Xiujun's military camp outside the city by Cao Cao. And left him a bamboo slip.

After Zhang Xiu opened the bamboo slip, he ordered 60,000 troops to remain outside the city, and the remaining 60,000 returned to Shouchun City, which was ungarrisoned.

Back in Shouchun, Zhang Xiu only rearranged the guards, and there was no other action.

On this day, Cao Cao's banquet did not end until the afternoon, and Zhang Xiu's middle and senior generals returned to the army camp with different faces.

Back in their own barracks, a group of Zhang Xiu's subordinates had their own hearts and minds, and they did not contact each other, and they each pondered Cao Cao's conversation at the banquet.

It's just that no one paid attention, but when they returned to the barracks, there were three missing generals, namely Gao Shun, Hu Che'er, and Zhang Liao.

At night, the big tent of the Cao army was brightly lit, and Cao Cao set up a small banquet to entertain the three generals of Zhang Xiujun.

There was no one of Cao Cao's generals who accompanied the wine, only Dian Wei and Xu Chu's two personal generals. There was no one around the tent for fifty meters.

There were also a few special guests who accompanied them, that is, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Guo Jia and Xun You, who did not show up at all at the first two banquets.

Cao Cao took the lead in raising the gold bottle, stood up and saluted Liu Guanzhang and the others: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your help this time, who can be the one who is not Uncle Liu?" ”

It seems that he respects Liu Guanzhang and the others, and the wine bottle walked in front of Liu Guanzhang and the others, but he just drank it to Liu Bei, and he didn't deliberately be polite to Guan and Zhang.

Don't think that I don't know that it is the two of you who release the water with mud legs, otherwise Zhang Xiu's head has already been hung up at the head of Shouchun City at this time, and he is already sitting in Shouchun Palace to taste the general trend of the world.

But after all, Liu Bei made a great effort, not to mention that the identity of the emperor's uncle is confirmed, and this face has to be passed. People have merit, and they are even more serious and can no longer be serious in their identities - the emperor's relatives and relatives, rashly dealing with it, wouldn't it be a smear on their faces?

After paying homage to Liu Bei, Cao Cao began the topic. He personally poured another glass of wine, walked off the high platform, and saluted Gao Shun, who was expressionless and meticulous and serious: "General Gao, look up for a long time." During the Yanzhou War, I admired General Gao's ability to train troops. In Xuzhou, if it weren't for the general's lack of loyalty and bravery, then Feng Xianke would have capsized in the gutter. ”

Cao Cao finally alluded to a deed of his subordinates who did not want to forge ahead after Lu Bu took Xuzhou.

The surrounding forces are growing and growing, and Lu Bu only cares about enjoying the gentleness of his wife and concubine, and does not engage in military politics. Hao Meng, the general under his command, colluded with Yuan Shu, took advantage of Lü Bu's weak precautions, and led his troops into the city to besiege Lü Bu's mansion, in an attempt to carry out a military coup to replace Lü Bu's position.

The mutiny was so serious that it is said that Yuan Shu provided a considerable amount of gold, silver and silk for Hao Meng to deal with, and even drew Chen Gong, Lü Bu's chief thinker, into the opposition.

But Hao Meng is too anxious, and his ability is not good. Chen Gong, who was disappointed in Lu Bu, may have just expressed that he had some other thoughts, and before he made it clear whether he would stand in line, Hao Meng couldn't bear it.

There are military advisors, there are a lot of soldiers and horses, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, so why don't you wait for it at this time?

So on a windy and dark night, Hao Meng took advantage of Lu Bu's drunkenness to open the city gate joints. led his troops into the city and directly besieged Lu Bu's mansion.

Even if Lu Bu is drunk, it is still Lu Bu. still kept a few important relatives out of the encirclement and escaped. But after leaving the city, Lu Bu was so confused that he couldn't even figure out who the rebellion was, let alone rely on that general to extinguish the rebellion.

This also can't complain about Lu Bu, after the Battle of Chang'an, there were very few soldiers and horses around Lu Bu. After taking refuge in his old friend Zhang Yang, the magnanimous Zhang Yang supplemented him with many soldiers. But Lu Bu took Zhang Yang's men and horses to take refuge with Yuan Shao, who had thick legs and a broad waist.

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu went to break the extremely arrogant and fierce Black Mountain thieves, and Zhang Yan withdrew from the large and medium-sized cities in Bingzhou, only daring to nest in the mountains. Lu Bu was also arrogant again at this time, feeling that Yuan Shao couldn't do without him.

Yuan Shao knows the truth that good steel is used on the blade, but he understands that Lu Bu is a double-edged sword, not a machete. So I moved the idea of a rabbit and a dead dog. Lu Bu then ran away again, and went to the Central Plains with a twist.

In the middle of the original went to Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu usually likes to make two mistakes, he doesn't dare to joke about his head when it comes to Lu Bu. Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo's lessons from the past are there.

Besides, his elder brother Yuan Shao is not happy with Lu Bu, so he can send Yan Liangwen and Zhang He to kill Lu Bu, and his own subordinates can't beat Lu Bu if they are tied together.

So, Yuan Shu directly rejected Lu Bu. Lu Bu did not dare to take refuge in Cao Cao, who had been ambushed by himself and killed miserably, so he had to live under Zhang Miao's subordinates.

Fortunately, Zhang Miao was unwilling to be under Cao Cao, helped hide Lu Bu's whereabouts, and gave Lu Bu great military power. Here, Lu Bu added another group of generals. Most of Lu Bu's eight strong generals were actually Zhang Miao's subordinates, and it was only then that Lu Bu gathered enough elite soldiers.
