Chapter 500: The Resurgence of Turmoil in Jingzhou (6)
Cao Cao didn't bother at all.
Xun Yu knew what he meant, got up and said, "What the two generals said is false! ”
"The military advisor said that what the two of us said was wrong, I don't know what was wrong?" The corners of Xiahoudun's mouth were in a dangerous arc, looking at Xun Yu without too much respect, and even a lot of dissatisfaction.
Xun Yu didn't realize it, but explained: "Most of Bowangpo's ambush came from Xiangyang, and the person who made this decision was probably the Shan Fu I heard about before. At the end, he turned to Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know if there is any news of Shan Fu?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "I heard that this person's surname is Xu, and his name is Shu." ”
"Is that him?"
Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's surprised tone, and couldn't help asking, "What?" Acquaintance? I wonder if it is possible to make him serve His Majesty? ”
"Naiyu's old knowledge."
Xun Yu then said: "This person was debauched in his early years, if it weren't for his mother, I don't know how long he would have been dead." More than ten years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and he thought that he had already died in a foreign country, but now it seems that he has devoted himself to studying. At the beginning, my uncle also said that this person is wise, if he is cultivated properly, he will not be able to be peaceful, but now it seems that what his uncle said is not bad! ”
He pondered again and said, "This person is very filial, if you want him to serve Your Majesty, you should start with his mother." ”
"Good!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know where his mother's family lives?" ”
Xun Yu then told Cao Cao where Xu Shu's hometown was, and Cao Cao asked Xu's mother to go to Xuchang to settle down. Everyone present did not say anything about this practice, even Xun Yu, so it can be seen that this move may be the norm.
Subsequently, everyone spoke again, and they all expressed their support for Cao Cao to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender, after all, Cao Cao had already hinted before, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were angry and didn't hear it, or they heard it, but they were angry.
"The embroidered book is taken!" Cao Cao said with a look of enthusiasm.
Cao Cao led his army across Bowang City, and ordered the rear army to garrison Bowang in the forbidden camp to prevent Zhang Xiu's fraudulent surrender.
Cao Cao Fang to complete, Zhang Xiu opened the gate of Wancheng, dressed in brocade clothes, Fengyin out of the city, and greeted him personally. Cao Cao felt Zhang Xiu's sincerity, and only took Xu Chu and all his relatives into the city with the generals, and accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender.
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, invited Cao Cao to take a seat, sat down, and held a banquet.
Cao Cao felt his sincerity and immediately announced the appointment of Zhang Xiu as the general of Yangwei.
Although he was only a miscellaneous general, Zhang Xiu had already been prepared after Jia Xu's explanation, and he took it very happily.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao's old problem suddenly committed, and he drunkenly asked Zhang Xiu: "I heard that Uncle Er's mother is the best in the world, I don't know where I am now?" Can you see me? ”
Zhang Xiu was embarrassed and angry when she heard this, but she was persuaded by Jia Xu on the side, so she just replied in a muffled voice: "Uncle and mother are sick, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the prime minister." ”
Cao Cao was already drunk, how could he notice this, and said: "It's okay, my appearance also has gout from time to time, so I have my own imperial doctor with the army, if the general doesn't invite me to see it, this appearance will consider it from the imperial doctor, and it will be better to recover as soon as possible." ”
"So, thank you Prime Minister!" Zhang Xiu suffered a dumb loss, but he could only swallow it, and asked someone to invite his uncle and mother.
Not long after, Uncle Zhang Xiu arrived. Although Cao Cao was drunk, his eyes were good, and when he saw the face of Uncle Zhang Xiu, he couldn't take his eyes off him immediately, and said: "It's really the best in the world!" There is emptiness in the prime minister's house today, please give in. ”
Zhang Xiu was immediately furious, but Jia Xu pulled him and pointed to a general behind Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu saw that he was burly, and his eyes were open, as if there was a fine light circulating in it, and his left hand pressed the knife, sometimes with the intention of unsheathing, and suddenly it was like a basin of cold water poured down, and he woke up most of the drunk.
Cao Cao didn't care about Zhang Xiu's reaction, he immediately got up and pulled Zhang Xiu's uncle and mother away from the banquet and went to the backyard. Cao Cao left, and the crowd stopped continuing, and soon after, they dispersed.
Zhang Xiu sent everyone away, couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and overturned the table a few more. Jia Xu felt that it was inappropriate, and stopped: "General Mo doesn't want to provoke Prime Minister Cao? ”
"Cao thief is so insulting! If there is no longer an embroidery, it should be laughed at by the world! Zhang Xiu thought of the shock when her uncle left, and the shame and anger in her heart became even worse.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiu's father died early, and he had to be raised by Zhang Ji to have his current status, because Zhang Xiu regarded Zhang Ji as his father, and his wife naturally regarded him as his mother. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Xiu gained a foothold in Wancheng, and never abandoned his uncle, but took him with him like his mother, and asked for peace every morning and evening, which can be described as extremely filial.
Perhaps, this is another reason why Jia Xu chose Zhang Xiu.
After hearing Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu also shook his head at Cao Cao's actions, but still persuaded: "The general has just surrendered to the prime minister, is it necessary to rebel now?" If this is the case, how do people in the world view the general's repetition? Who else will accept a general in the future? Is it to embark on Dong Zhuo's old road? ”
"Cao thief is so insulting to embroidery, embroidery will never stop!"
Zhang Xiu had already made up his mind, and then looked at Jia Xu Zhengse and said: "Xiu knows that his talent is insufficient, and he is not a person who has achieved great things, but if he can't even protect his family, how is it different from a beast?" Now Cao thief behaves like this, to embroider it, although the momentum is great, but soon after it will be defeated by Ming Gong, the military division should not be with embroidery in addition to Cao thief, and then use this to serve Ming Gong! ”
Jia Xu didn't expect Zhang Xiu to have this insight, so he couldn't help but fall silent, carefully calculating the pros and cons. For a long time, under Zhang Xiu's expectant gaze, Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Although the general's idea is good, but the general should also see the person behind the prime minister, his martial arts or generals are still above the general, and the possibility of getting rid of the prime minister is too small. ”
"No!" Zhang Xiu thought of the burly figure before, and also understood that if he was not lightly drunk, let alone a strong opponent, he was afraid that he would become a revenant under the knife if he couldn't hold out a few moves, but he still shook his head desperately and said, "Uncle and mother were taken by Cao Thief, and Xiu Jie can't be easily abandoned." ”
Although Jia Xu had other plans, he was very respectful of Zhang Xiu's move, and he said it with words......
The night is getting darker.
"Who?"
After Cao Cao fell asleep, Xu Chu was guarding the door with a knife, and when he heard a sudden sound outside the courtyard, his face turned cold, and he ordered left and right: "Be on guard, I will go out to have a look." ”
"Yes, General."
When Xu Chu arrived outside the door, he saw that in addition to his own soldiers, there were still three or five other people outside the door, and he became more vigilant in his heart. After taking a closer look, Xu Chu found that they were exactly the same as the clothes worn by the people in Zhang Xiu's mansion that he had seen before, so he said, "What are you waiting for?" ”
One of them said: "In reply to this general's words, I will come to deliver some food to you on the orders of the master." ”
"Huh?"
Xu Chu felt strange in his heart, when he saw Zhang Xiu's expression before, he seemed to be annoyed, and now he will kindly send food over? He immediately refused: "You leave quickly, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes......"
The men seemed to be frightened, and hurried away with meat and wine.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Xu Chu snorted coldly and said, "You all be careful!" ”
After speaking, Xu Chu didn't care whether his subordinates were dissatisfied or not, turned around and entered the small courtyard again.
The night gradually passed, and seeing that it would not be long before the sky would dawn, Xu Chu also felt a little tired, in the end, there was a day and a night without closing his eyes, it was inevitable.
At this time, Zhang Xiu launched a rebellion, first shooting Cao Cao's own soldiers guarding outside the house, and then killing them in the courtyard. But he was blocked by Xu Chu, he was beheaded by many people, and when he heard the movement not far away, Zhang Xiu knew that as Jia Xu said, it could not be violated, and he immediately withdrew.
Then fires broke out in various parts of the city, and riots broke out.
At this time, Cao Cao had already woken up and hurriedly said, "Where is Zhongkang?" ”
"Xu Chu is here!"
"What happened?"
"Zhang Xiu's reversal!"
"What? How dare this guy do this? Cao Cao asked.
Xu Chuxu was slandering in his heart, but he didn't answer. Cao Cao's drunkenness had not yet dissipated, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he immediately got up and put on his robe and was about to leave, but when he saw that there was still someone on the bed, he quickly woke him up, and then left with him.
It can be seen that although Cao is something, he is not like some people.
ran out of the house, converged with Xiahoudun and others, and worked together to kill outside, and the city could not stay. At this time, Cao Cao also knew the identity of the woman next to him, and finally understood why Zhang Xiu was opposed, and Cao, who had never regretted it, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
It was difficult to escape from the city, Cao Cao did not have the heart to find trouble with Zhang Xiu, he was still drunk at this time, and he met the army outside the city to meet the situation and returned to the camp.
