"Remember, if you want to achieve great things, you must first hold back your mind, lie down and taste your courage, and wait for the opportunity to move. Wenjin, can you? "

"Wenjin, can you do it?"

This was the last sentence Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu that night.

"Wenjin, can you do it?"

The day after that night, Shouchun City ceased all operations to consolidate the city's defenses.

That night, the back door of Zhang Xiu's mansion was opened.

Half an hour later, the east gate of Shouchun, which was under martial law in the whole city, opened, and more than ten carriages galloped out.

On the third day, Yuan's mansion in Shouchun was empty, and Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, son-in-law Huang Yi and other Yuan Shu relatives and all the domestic servants disappeared.

Absconded at the same time as the Yuan family, and there was also a military captain Zhang Xiu. This person was originally from Yuan Shu's so-called Imperial Forest Army, and he had been favored by the Yuan family for a long time, and he was on duty at the East City Gate that night.

A few days later, Cao Cao led 200,000 troops of Cao's army to Shouchun City.

On the same day, Zhang Xiu handed Cao Cao a surrender table, and unconditionally returned the prisoner to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the table and was noncommittal. After Zhang Xiu's messenger reported Cao Cao's reaction to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu pondered all night.

The next day, Zhang Xiu sealed the Shouchun Mansion Treasury, led more than 100,000 soldiers under his command out of the city, and surrendered in front of the Cao army camp.

More than 100,000 Zhang Xiu soldiers put down their weapons in front of Cao Ying, under the gaze of 200,000 Cao soldiers. Including the only two thousand remaining Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as well as the Flying Bear Army, they all put down something that symbolized their glory.

Zhang Xiu's lord Bo Yanxiang personally presented Cao Cao with the account books and atlases of the population, money, and grain of the counties of Huainan.

But Cao Cao was still expressionless, and looked coldly at the extremely sluggish Zhang Xiujun soldiers in front of him.

Zhang Xiu, who did not have a piece of armor on his body and did not leave a sharp weapon, was also stunned when he saw this.

What else is this?

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiu strode forward. Waving his hand to signal the guards not to follow, he walked to Cao Cao alone.

Three hundred steps, one hundred steps, Zhang Xiu had already walked into the range of Cao Jun's crossbowmen.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps.

Zhang Xiu finally stopped, and stretched out his hands into his arms.

Cao Cao's generals behind him, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, all clenched the hilt of the sword in their hands, and the Xiahoudun brothers were even more angry.

Only Cao Cao looked cold, indifferently watching Zhang Xiu's movements.

Zhang Xiu finally took his hand out of his arms, and it was a copper tiger talisman, a copper seal, and a ribbon.

Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, but after a short time, he lowered his head and half-knelt on the ground. He presented the tiger talisman and the bronze seal and the ribbon with both hands, and shouted loudly: "The criminal minister Zhang Xiu, who disobeyed the mandate of heaven and disrespected the court, committed a heinous crime. Hereby return the seal of General Pingkou issued by the imperial court, and return the seal of Jiujiang County to the imperial court, please choose another person to guard Huainan, and the criminal minister Zhang Xiu is here to worship my emperor Long live! ”

At the beginning of Zhang Xiu's words, Cao Cao had already changed into another kind appearance, walked forward, and went to help Zhang Xiu.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed closely behind Cao Cao, fully armed.

In a moment, Cao Cao had already bowed down and held Zhang Xiu's arm. And Dian Wei and Xu Chu took the seal ribbon from Zhang Xiu's hand.

"Wen Jin, why do you bother, in fact, you only need a piece of paper, you are my Cao Mengde's guest of honor, why do you have such a battle today. Labor and labor, pour out the nest, what should I do if the little thieves are cheap? ”

Zhang Xiu's serious injury at the moment has not healed, his leg has an arrow wound, and Cao Cao is only a symbolic support, so he can't get up quickly, but he still stands up strongly, still with his head down, not looking at Cao Cao's face.

Cao Cao was stunned when he saw Zhang Xiu's reaction, but he just continued to smile and didn't speak again.

……

That night, the Cao army camp stayed awake all night, and the last bit of wine and meat reserved by Shouchun City was pulled into the Cao army camp.

Cao Jun is a general or above, and all of them are full of meat and wine.

Cao Cao hosted a banquet for the main generals under his command in the Chinese army, as well as the main generals of Zhang Xiu's side. Even happily, he called out several dancing girls to help the fun.

The senior generals of the Cao army, including Cao Cao, were all drunk in the end. The general on Zhang Xiu's side was also drunk because he had been drinking. Only Zhang Xiu borrowed the injury on his body, plus he was half-kneeling during the day, the wound was open and bleeding, and he did not drink.

The Cao camp in the middle of the night was still jubilant, and Zhang Xiu heard many joyful folk songs from Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Sizhou coming from the Cao army barracks.

Zhang Xiu didn't take a sip of wine, and he didn't even eat too much food. But he slept more deeply than the others.

Because of the three days and three nights of sleepless thinking over and over again, coupled with the increasingly severe wind chill after the infection, his energy has long been exhausted.

The big tent of the Chinese army was already snoring, and no one stood up. Even the most important guard, the Wuwei Battalion, fell asleep around the big tent in groups of three or five at this time.

Zhang Xiu had slept for a long time, and Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, pushed away a sleeping dancer beside him, and stood up.

Then Cao Cao turned around, picked up a sword, and when he turned around to face Zhang Xiu's direction, Xu Chu, who had already fallen asleep, was already standing behind Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at where Xu Chu got up: "Why do you drink so much wine?" ”

Xu Chu touched his head and said with a smile: "It's just five or six altars, don't you know that my Xu Dachu is the master of wine?" You can't miss a big deal! It's not like Dian Dawei, you can't stop drinking it! ”

Cao Cao's first reaction when he opened his eyes was to look at Dian Wei, and naturally knew how many wine jars Dian Wei had in front of him at this moment.

The two walked slowly towards the sleeping Zhang Xiu, approaching step by step, but Zhang Xiu did not move.

After a while, the two quietly walked in front of Zhang Xiu.

Xu Chu took the first step and placed the waist knife in his hand across Zhang Xiu's body.

Cao Cao also drew his sword, danced a silent sword flower in the air, and pointed the tip of the sword above Zhang Xiu's head.

But Zhang Xiu still didn't move as if he didn't notice anything.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiu with a pair of cold eyes, which was originally heroic and extraordinary, but at this moment it was a face that had lost its blood color and sharpness, and for a long time, he had maintained the action of holding the sword, and his eyes flashed, and no one could guess what Cao Cao was thinking in his heart now.

Cao Cao held the scabbard in his left hand and did not move, but his right hand kept stretching. The tip of the sword and Zhang Xiu's neck flickered far and near, flickering and slowing. Several times he stabbed and slashed, and the tip of the sword was not too far away from Zhang Xiu's skin hair, but it never came into contact.

Suddenly, there was a strange movement next to him, and Xu Chu quickly turned the waist knife stretched out on Zhang Xiu's body to the sound.

Cao Cao also turned his head to look, but saw Zhang Xiu's personal general Hu Che'er touching his nose after a snort, and then turned around and continued to sleep.

Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao, but the latter had an inexplicable smile at the moment, put away the sword stretched out on Zhang Xiu's head, looked at Hu Che'er and asked in a low voice, "Zhongkang, how is this person?" ”

Xu Chu saw that Cao Cao took back the sword, and knew in his heart that Cao Cao was not going to start, so he also withdrew the waist knife of the guard, and said with a smile: "This person's martial arts skills are mediocre, and he doesn't have any usual weapons. But this person's physical strength is different from ordinary people, to be honest, if the battle that day allowed Dian Dawei and him to continue to run in circles, Dian Dawei might not be able to outrun this person. ”

Cao Cao nodded approvingly: "This person is from the Qianghu tribe of Xiliang, and Dong Thief was friendly with the Qianghu tribe when he was in Xiliang, and borrowed a lot of Qianghu soldiers from the leader of Qianghu. This person followed the Xiliang Army to fight at that time. Later, with the feat of being able to carry 500 catties, he joined the Flying Bear Army composed of capable people and strangers in the Xiliang Army. He followed Dong Thief to fight dozens of battles, fought against Bian Zhang Han Sui, and also fought with our eighteen-way princes, and made several miraculous achievements. The most bizarre one was to fight outside the fortress, relying only on his legs, traveling 700 miles of grassland, desert, hills and ravines in a day! ”

Cao Cao said this, Xu Chu, who had followed Cao Cao for a long time, naturally knew what Cao Cao wanted to do, and he didn't speak again.

"Although this person has never learned martial arts, he also has a lot of Qianghu fighting skills. In addition, the strength is not small, the endurance is super long, and the army is even more long, and he can be regarded as a fierce general in the world! It's just that he doesn't have any usual weapons, but he is not as good as my double sword Zhongkang you, double halberd Dian Wei, and Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu and snake spear Zhang Fei can fight, otherwise he will be a first-class general! ”

Saying that, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a hint of regret. But compared with regret, praise and appreciation are more abundant!

After saying this, Cao Cao completely inserted the sword given by the emperor back into the scabbard, turned around and went out of the account. Xu Chu also put away his waist knife and followed behind Cao Cao.

After the two of them quietly walked out of the big tent, Hu Che'er, who was still asleep and couldn't wake up just now, suddenly opened his eyes. first kicked Zhou Cang next to him, and after kicking several times without any reaction, he secretly scolded Zhou Cang for being greedy, and secretly stretched out his head to check Zhang Xiu's condition.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu's bloodless and tired face was still asleep, her brows were tightly locked, but there was nothing unusual, Hu Che'er withdrew her gaze.

Finally, he let go of his palm, and two flying locust stones were lying between the thumbs of his palms, and the thick calloused palms were marked with blood by the stones.

……

The next afternoon, Zhang Xiucai, who didn't know that the sword of death had once hung over his head, woke up slowly, and woke up to find himself sleeping alone in a clean and spacious tent.

Because of excessive fatigue in my brain, I am still confused at the moment. Zhang Xiu hurriedly put on civilian clothes and walked out of the big tent.

There were two listless guards of the Wuwei Battalion standing at the door, and what made Zhang Xiu suspicious was that these two of his own guards were actually holding weapons!

Yesterday was not the time to surrender, and the entire army's armor, including the short blade, had been handed over to Cao Jun. Have you disarmed all the armed forces, including the Wuwei Battalion Flying Bear Army, and why did your guards get their weapons back one morning?

I don't have any weapons in my possession!

While washing, Zhang Xiu tried to remember what happened last night. Cao Cao comforted himself last night, and said in public that he saw Zhang Xiu's sincerity and was willing to return to Xuchang to show the Son of Heaven and pardon his crimes. and chatted with Zhang Xiu on the spot about Zhang Xiu's previous crimes, and the big crimes were turned into small crimes, and the small crimes were gone.

After that, Cao Jun ate the meat of victory, drank the joy of victory, and finally went up to Cao Cao, down to the general of the Wuwei battalion, and the close soldiers and generals were all drunk and rested. In the end, because I couldn't support the tiredness and psychological pressure, I fell asleep.

After that, I don't know what happened. Including how he slept in this unmanned tent, Zhang Xiu never remembered.

But no matter what happened, in short, he was still similar to what he was in history: he fought Cao Cao for a long time, was exhausted, and finally surrendered.

However, what will Cao Cao do with his surrendered troops at this time?
