Although the wisdom of the cattle shop is not as superb as those strategists, they also understand what it means to stay warm in a group.

So he led people to chase Hua Xiong overnight, and at the same time sent people to inform Zhang Ji and Ma Teng Han Sui.

It is hoped that a few people can understand the danger of Cao Cao, so that they can unite together to resist Cao Cao's attack.

Soon, the news that Hua Xiong and others wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao spread throughout Xiliang, and the people of Xiliang were shocked.

They didn't understand why Hua Xiong and Li Ru suddenly surrendered to Cao Cao, but it only lasted for a while.

The hardships in life made these Xiliang people quickly choose to forget these things, and it was the matter of those adults who did not seek refuge.

What I need to think about now is how to spend this day and how to make my tomorrow better.

And when Zhang Ji and others learned the news, they were a little unstable.

Especially Zhang Ji is the most apprehensive in his heart, once Cao Cao really sets foot in Xiliang, then it means that it borders his own territory.

At that time, did he think that Cao Cao would be able to give up this rich land of Hanzhong, and whether he would be able to block Cao Cao's attack with his own army?

And in times of crisis, should you surrender to Cao Cao or give in to Liu Zhang? All these questions pressed on Zhang Ji's heart, making him breathless.

On the night of receiving the news, Zhang Ji hurriedly called Zhang Xiu and prepared to discuss Cao Cao's entry into Xiliang.

"Xiu'er, what should we do about Cao Cao's entry into Xiliang?"

Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat, looked at Zhang Xiu below, and asked with some doubts.

Although Zhang Xiu does not have such rich battlefield experience as him, he has always lost his previous edge when he is old, and sometimes he has to listen to the opinions of young people.

By the way, I would also like to teach Zhang Xiu some of the experience on the battlefield, so as not to become a martial artist in the army in the future....

"Uncle, this Cao Cao wanted to recruit us earlier, but we didn't directly agree, presumably that Cao Cao must have been watching us!"

After Zhang Xiu heard Zhang Ji's words, she hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"Now that Cao Cao is about to enter Xiliang, that is the time for us to completely stand in line!"

"Oh? Don't know how we've stood in line? ”

Zhang Ji couldn't help but have a trace of interest, although he also knew that Zhang Xiu was familiar with the art of war.

But I don't know what kind of situation Zhang Xiu is now, and now it's time to take a good look.

"Uncle, now that Cao Cao is about to enter Xiliang, he will either put down his power and join Cao Cao and become one of the heroes who have opened up the territory, so that we may be able to be reused in Cao Cao's army!"

Zhang Xiu said very pertinently, in fact, when he received the letter of surrender from Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu was already silently calculating this matter in his heart, but he only had the opportunity to say it now.

"Drop the power in your hands? Isn't that to be slaughtered? Besides, it's so rich here, how can I give it away willingly! It's not proper, it's not proper! ”

Zhang Ji nodded slightly after listening to Zhang Xiu's words, according to Zhang Xiu's words, it seems that it is indeed a good time to do this.

But according to Zhang Ji's thoughts, he and the others should keep their identity as the emperor of Hanzhongtu, so it's not too cool to be old like this.

"Then we can only block Cao Cao outside the Bishui Pass now, otherwise once Cao Cao is allowed to border us, we will inevitably start a war!"

Zhang Xiu heard Zhang

After Ji's words, he said helplessly, he was a little unacceptable to his uncle's concept.

I think that when I first studied under Tong Yuan, I was taught to use my martial arts to save the thousands of suffering people of the Han Dynasty.

However, now that he is with Zhang Ji, it cannot be said that Zhang Ji is not good to him, but his concept of being dedicated to the people of the Han Dynasty has never had a chance to be realized.

This made Zhang Xiu's heart always have a knot, which could not be solved and eliminated, which made Zhang Xiu's heart depressed.

"But you also know that the cow shop is a villain who is unscrupulous, and if you cooperate with him, I am afraid that you will be burned!"

When Zhang Ji heard Zhang Xiu's words, his head that was still nodding instantly became gloomy, if it wasn't for cooperating with the cattle shop.

Zhang Ji is afraid that he has already agreed now, but now he happened to meet the cattle shop, which made Zhang Ji's heart inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle's words are inappropriate, if it's just Cao Cao, we can still resist one or two, but uncle, have you read what you wrote in the letter?"

Zhang Xiu hurriedly objected, if you really want to keep your power, then you can't have a grudge.

Zhang Ji talked a little helplessly, thinking of what was written on the letter, the gloomy color in his eyes became even heavier.

Then Li Ru and Huaxiong Xu Rong, can they really resist it?

"In that case, what should we do?" In the end, Zhang Ji asked Zhang Xiu with a gloomy face.

This is no longer his voluntary choice, but the reality directly pressed Zhang Ji under him.

"If we want to form an alliance with Niupu, then we have to divide our troops into two ways, one way to suppress Hanzhong, and the other way to Xinping..."

Zhang Xiu said slowly, not knowing why he had a bad premonition in his heart.

It seems that something big will happen in the near future, and there is nothing I can do about it...

"Well, in that case, then you should stay in Hanzhong and guard..."

Zhang Ji touched his beard and pondered for a while, then said slowly.

"But uncle, your current body..."

Zhang Xiu was in a hurry after hearing Zhang Ji's words.

People have birth, old age, sickness and death, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and Zhang Ji is the general of Xiliang.

I don't know how many years I have been on the battlefield, but now I am already old and wounded.

Every time the weather is cold, the old wounds on the body hurt badly.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Xiu feel at ease and let Zhang Ji go to meet with the cattle shop alone.

"Xiu'er doesn't need to say much, that cow shop seems to be loyal, but it is actually a black-bellied person!"

Zhang Ji shook his head and said slowly, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

"You may be superior to him in terms of force, but you may not be worthy of lifting his shoes in terms of scheming!"

Although Zhang Ji said so, Zhang Xiu did not blame Zhang Ji in his heart.

After all, what Zhang Ji said is also true, although his martial arts are very superb, but he still needs to be honed in terms of scheming.

"But uncle, I don't feel at ease when you go like this!"

Zhang Xiu said worriedly, with a look of concern in his eyes.

"Don't worry! I've been with that cow shop for decades, and we both know what the other is and it's okay! So you should pay more attention to the fact that you are leading the troops alone this time! ”

Zhang Ji said very lightly, but when he looked at Zhang Xiu's face, he couldn't help but have a trace of concern in his eyes.

"Uncle ....."

Zhang Xiu still wanted to say something, but saw Zhang Ji's serious face.

In the end, he finally closed his mouth and nodded slightly at Zhang Ji.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will guard this Hanzhong!"

Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu and said this, and finally showed a kind smile on his face.

"That's fine, it's getting late now and I'm tired, so you can retreat first....."

Such a scene is also playing out in Jincheng, but compared to Zhang Ji and the two.

Ma Teng's family is too relaxed and relieved, after all, Ma Teng has a lot of sons.

Coupled with Han Sui in Longxi, it can be said that there is not the slightest danger in this back garden.

He only needed to lead the army to charge towards Cao Cao's army.

"Xiu'er, you must not be negligent when guarding the golden city, don't open the city unless your brother and I are in front of you, do you understand?"

Above the lobby of the Ma family, Ma Teng said to Ma Xiu with a serious face.

The population in Xiliang is sparse, and the city is even more scarce, and this golden city is the only city occupied by the Ma family.

If this city falls into the hands of others, then they can be described as rootless duckweed.

At that time, how it will end depends on the other party's mind, so even if there is no major problem in the rear.

Ma Teng still tirelessly said precautions to his son Ma Xiu.

"Father, please rest assured, I will definitely guard the golden city, I will never open the city gate without my father and eldest brother in person!"

Matthew is not impatient, even if he has been told so many times.

But his face still did not change, and his face was modest, and it seemed that he listened to every word.

Maybe it's for this reason that Ma Teng chose to let Ma Xiu come to guard Jincheng.

"Okay, father, don't talk about it, that is, the second brother can listen to your chatter, if it were me, I would have been impatient!"

Just when Ma Teng was about to continue chattering, a young man sitting next to him couldn't help but speak.

He kept wiping the spear in his hand with a fine cloth, even though the spear in his hand was now wiped and glittered in the lamplight.

But he still didn't stop what he was doing, as if he was in a daze.

"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say, if you have half of your second brother's modesty, I'll be relieved!"

Ma Teng looked at the young man who was constantly wiping the spear, and said with some annoyance.

But his eyes were still flashing with appreciation, and it seemed that Ma Teng did not blame this young man in the slightest.

"Father Liao praised, the courage of the eldest brother is in this cold heart, who doesn't know who doesn't know? Because I should learn more from my eldest brother! ”

Ma Xiu looked at Ma Teng, who was a little annoyed, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort.

As his eldest brother, he is also envious, if it weren't for his strength being a little too weak, he would also want to be his eldest brother.

"Hmph, Chao'er, you should learn from your brother! When the time comes, if you don't listen to orders! Be careful I cut you to death! ”

Ma Teng said with some displeasure.

"Father, don't worry! I also want to see what kind of masters this Cao Cao's subordinates have..."

The young man stopped what he was doing, raised his head slightly, and said slowly.

There seemed to be a faint flash of fire in his eyes....
