Nanyang, Xinye City.

In the backyard of the mansion, Zhang Xiu braved the snowflakes and danced with a tiger's head and golden gun in his hand, and his opponent was Huang Zhong.

The two of you come and go, and they fight fiercely.

But after all, it is not a horse war, Huang Zhong's broadsword can't be used, and he can't borrow his strength, and his combat power is greatly reduced.

In the past few months, Zhang Xiuqin and the army, and his martial arts have never been left behind, plus he has taken pills before, and his body function is higher than before.

Zhong,

There was another sound of gold and stone intersecting, and the two separated.

In the cold winter, the two gasped.

Huang Zhong shook his head lightly and said with emotion: "The lord's martial arts have improved a lot, and he is ashamed of his loyalty." ”

Huang Zhong's words are not false, he still has some hands at the beginning of the discussion, and he can be retracted and released freely, but in recent times, Zhang Xiu's marksmanship has become more and more exquisite, if it is not for his excellent martial arts, I am afraid that he has been defeated.

Zhang Xiu smiled, took the silk cloth handed over by the maid next to her, wiped her sweat and looked at Jia Xu not far away, and chuckled: "When Wenhe arrived, I don't know if it will happen!" ”

"Such a wonderful exchange, I can't bear to interrupt." Jia Xu clenched his fists and said respectfully, these days, Nanyang's development is thriving, whether it is the people or the soldiers, they are all in good order.

Many of these are due to Zhang Xiu, who is sympathetic to the people, shouts for warmth, and is deeply loved by the people. And in the barracks, he eats and sleeps in the same pot with the sergeants, and is admired by the sergeants.

Stride under the gazebo,

The stove warms people's hearts, and the pot of warm wine on it is even more fragrant, and Huang Zhong came to spar just to beg for this wine.

No way, this wine is very expensive, and his lord only gave him two bottles when he was rewarded last time, and the rest of the wine was bland and tasteless after drinking this wine.

The maid next to her scooped a few bottles and stepped aside.

After pinching the wine bottle, Zhang Xiu took a sip, looked at the snowflakes falling outside the pavilion, and said worriedly: "This year's heavy snow is earlier than in previous years." ”

The corners of Jia Xu's eyes twitched, and he said knowingly: "The lord is worried about Cao Cao, right?" ”

Zhang Xiu did not deny it, and took another sip of warm wine, "Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system and obtained millions of grains. And Nanyang is its hinterland, I am afraid that after this heavy snowfall, Cao Cao should use troops. ”

"The lord is worried about what he has done, now I have 30,000 soldiers in Nanyang and 5,000 iron horses, so Cao Cao will not return." Huang Zhong's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu chuckled: "Han Sheng has this heart, what am I afraid of, but Cao Cao is ruthless and vicious, and there are nearly 100 people under his command who can recruit good fighters, and there are even more ministers, so you must guard against it." ”

"What's more, there are nearly 100,000 elites under his command, how can you underestimate them?"

Of his 30,000 armor soldiers, more than half of them were newly recruited and had never been on the battlefield. It can't be compared with Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers, who fought a hundred battles.

This battle is not easy to win!

He had to win, though.

"My lord, Yuan Zhi told you before that this battle is a war to negotiate peace, so you don't have to worry."

"Xu has sent an envoy to Lu Bu to inform Cao Cao of the change, so that he can echo our army in Xuzhou, so Cao Cao can lead no more than 50,000 troops."

Jia Xu said with relief.

When it came to Lu Bu, Zhang Xiuba was quite embarrassed at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't fulfill the grain and grass he promised before, and the reply to Lu Bu was that the grain and grass were robbed by thieves and robbers, and he prepared again.

I just don't know if he believes it anymore.

"Well, I will inform Wen Ping by letter later, let him take strict precautions, always pay attention to Cao Cao's movements, and report back as soon as there is news."

Zhang Xiujian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Historically, Cao Cao led the army in the early spring of the second year of Jian'an, but at that time Zhang Xiu did not resist and surrendered under the persuasion of Jia Xu.

Later, Cao Cao slept with his aunt, and he reversed.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiu was puzzled when he wrote the book before, it stands to reason that it is normal for the late Han Dynasty to sleep with other people's wives, and Zhang Xiu should not rebel against Cao Cao because of this.

I'm afraid that after Zhang Ji's death in history, Zhang Xiu really slept with his aunt, so he was furious and fought to the death with Cao Cao, otherwise Zhang Xiu would have no reason to be so radical.

"No,"

Jia Xu responded.

A few more drinks and then dispersed.

And this heavy snow has been falling for half a month, which has covered the land of several states with a layer of silver, which is extremely enchanting.

…………

In the second year of Jian'an, early spring.

Heavy snow covering Yu and Jing states has melted.

Handu,

XU Changcheng,

In the general house, the civil and military gathered.

The generals present were eager to try, and they probably guessed before they came that just after the cold winter, Cao Cao summoned them to gather, obviously to use troops against Nanyang Zhang Xiu.

At this time, Cao Cao strode onto the stage, his old and spicy eyes scanned everyone, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, it's early spring!" ”

"We've been waiting for this day for a long time. Nanyang, a thousand miles of fertile fields, how can it be occupied by a mere Xiliang mangfu? What's more, this reckless man is greedy, and he has repeatedly harassed me, so I can't tolerate him. ”

"I want to order troops to recruit in person, and level this Xiliang reckless man to calm the rear of our army."

"Lord Mingjian!"

The civil and military forces responded in unison, and this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"The generals listen to orders,"

"The end will be," the generals shouted.

"Xiahoudun, Xu Chu listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to be the vanguard of the left and right, lead the march and ride 10,000, and start on the same day." Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted.

"The last general commands," the two of them drank together.

"Cao Ren listened to the order and ordered you to be the Chinese army, lead the infantry and ride 30,000, and start on the same day." Cao Cao's eyes seeped water,

"The last general commands," Cao Ren's eyes were resolute and his expression was solemn, he knew that Cao Cao was deliberately cultivating himself as a handsome.

"Yu Ban, listen to the order, order you to be the rear army, lead the infantry and ride 10,000, support the three armies, and start on the same day."

"The last general commands!" Yu Ban hugged his fist and responded.

"Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian listened to the order and ordered the two of you to stay in Xuchang, be sure to ensure that Xuchang is safe, if there is any mistake, you two will come to see you."

"The last general commands!" Although the two were disappointed, they also knew the importance of Xuchang and responded immediately.

"Fengxiao, Jia Xu is a scheming person, you will go with the army on this trip to solve problems for me." Cao Cao's eyes burned and he looked at Guo Jia, who had a relationship with him as well as a friend.

"No," Guo Jia chuckled.

He naturally knew Jia Xu, but he asked himself if he was not weaker than him.

"Cheng Yu, Cao Chun, order the two of you to be responsible for the grain, grass, and baggage of the three armies, and there is no room for loss."

"No,"

"The rest of the generals, go with me, within 100 days, you must capture Nanyang and take Zhang Xiu's head." Cao Cao's voice was strong and resounded through the general's mansion.

"No," the martial arts under his command shouted in unison, and they were all eager to try, wanting to make a contribution.

Among them, Xu Huang and other newcomers are even more eye-catching, if they want to gain a foothold in Cao Ying, they have to show their skills.

"Xun Yu, you immediately plan to write a document to fight the thief, play the Son of Heaven, and announce it to the world. I will Xing Wang Shi personally recruit the anti-thief Zhang Xiu, so that the world knows the majesty of the court. ”

Cao Cao's eyes were like torches, looking at Xun Yu.

"No," Xun Yu responded.

"Wen Ruo, after I leave, Xuchang will be in the hands of Mr. Wen, and I hope that Wen Ruo will keep Xuchang safe." Cao Cao personally walked in front of Xun Yu and said solemnly with his luggage.

"The Lord is serious, and I will ensure that Xuchang is safe." Xun Yu hurriedly bowed to each other.

Standing up, Cao Cao walked slowly to the high platform, took out his sword and shouted: "The generals listen to the order, the three armies will reorganize the soldiers and horses, and tomorrow they will sacrifice to the sky and go to the army." ”
