"You will lead the army to garrison outside the city, and I will enter the city with Ang'er Ping'er myself," Cao Cao commanded to the civil and military forces.

At this time, Zhang Xiu's soldiers had already surrendered, and the soldiers without weapons and armor naturally did not pose any threat, and the three thousand armor soldiers under Cao Ang and Liu Ping were enough to deal with it, so there was no need to let the 30,000 troops enter the city.

"No!" All the civil and military agreed in unison.

Cao Cao rode on the Shadow War Horse, followed by Cao Ang and Liu Ping, and Cao Anmin was escorted into Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu had already vacated the garrison general's mansion and handed it over to Cao Cao.

In the general's mansion, Cao Cao boasted about Zhang Xiu after seeing him, and promised to take him back to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven and ask for a reward from the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Xiu was already a tiger with a tooth extracted at this time, even if he regretted it, it was useless, and he smiled and thanked Cao Sikong for his kindness.

Cao Cao was overjoyed by the soldiers who surrendered without a fight, and unexpectedly got so much money and food, and felt quite complacent, so he ordered a large banquet in the general's palace to entertain Zhang Xiu and his military officials.

The banquet was quickly arranged, Cao Cao was in the middle, first stood up with the wine bowl, everyone didn't dare to speak, looked at him quietly, and there was silence in the hall.

Cao Cao Zhi said proudly: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead the army to conquer, and it is rare for General Zhang Xiu to understand the righteousness, abandon the armor and avoid war, and return to the imperial court, which is really wise and wise."

All the kings drink this cup together, and when the coming day is before the Son of Heaven drives the capital, I will ask for credit for the kings. ”

As he spoke, he drank it all.

"Thank you, Sikong!"

More than a dozen civil and military officers under Zhang Xiu also rushed to drink it all.

After drinking the first cup, everyone found that Cao Cao did not blame everyone, so the atmosphere became lively, and there was inevitably a staggered plan in the middle.

At this time, Cao Cao came to Jia Xu with a wine bowl, and said with a slight smile: "This is Jia Wenhe, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see him today." ”

"The general of the defeated army, ashamed to see people, praised it absurdly," Jia Xu covered his face with his sleeves and shook his head again and again.

"Wen He is wise and wise, and it is a wise move to return to the imperial court," Cao Cao said politely: "It's just that there is something unclear about Cao, when the Son of Heaven left Chang'an, why didn't Wen He go back with him, but went to Duan Xuan?"

If Wenhe drove with him, wouldn't he have received Wenhe's teachings earlier? ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "It's just that I didn't know anyone at the beginning, and mistook Li Dao Guo Yan for the minister of the auxiliary country, and persuaded his troops to enter Chang'an, which led to the destruction of the lives in Guanzhong, and the dust of the Son of Heaven, and his reputation in the lower parts, so he really had no shame to face the virtuous ministers in the Kanto."

Duan Xuanai is in the next countryman, and he can only go elsewhere to avoid trouble. ”

"Wen He laughed," Cao Cao laughed and said, "Li Guo's tyranny is not Wen He's fault."

Now that the monarchs have returned to the imperial court, Wen He and Cao are both courtiers of the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao has a lot of incomprehension in the future, and he hopes that Wen He will not hesitate to give advice. ”

As he spoke, he affectionately took Jia Xu's hand and dried the wine in the wine bowl.

"Cao Sikong is the pillar of the imperial court, and he is only a minister of the end of the world, as long as he can contribute to the Han court, Sikong has something to send, and he should obey his orders," Jia Xu said in a high-sounding manner.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and came to a general next to him with a wine bowl, and couldn't help but praise: "A good general, it must be Hu Che'er?" ”

In fact, Hu Che'er was just a second-rate general, but Cao Cao treated him with courtesy, reached out and took a cloth bag from Cao Anmin behind him, and handed it to Hu Che'er.

"These golden cakes will be rewarded to the general, and I hope that the general will have a good life and serve the court in the future."

It turned out to be a bag of gold cakes.

In this era, gold cakes are extremely valuable, and Cao Cao's reward for Hu Che'er is a bag, which shocked Zhang Xiu, who was watching from the side.

Cao Cao just took Jia Xu's hand and talked intimately for so long, which already made Zhang Xiu feel unhappy, and now he gave Hu Che'er so many golden cakes, which made him can't help but think about it, what does Cao Cao want to do?

Jia Xu and Hu Che'er are the two people he relies on the most, if the two of them are co-opted by Cao Cao, Cao Cao can kill him at any time, and Wancheng will not give birth to civil strife.

However, Cao Cao didn't care about Zhang Xiu, he was in a very good mood at this time, since he started the army, almost all the way up, and now he is finally on the right track, occupying Yanyu Erzhou, the Son of Heaven is in hand, the army is in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight, and let him pull out the biggest nail around Xu Du.

Now is the most glorious moment in his life, and the Cao family's foundation will become more and more brilliant in his hands, and it is unknown whether he will be able to dominate the world in the future.

Cao Cao was excited and almost drank dry wine with all the civil and military forces in Wancheng, and unconsciously this banquet was drunk until dark.

Everyone also drank seven meat and eight vegetables.

Cao Cao came to the back house of the General's Mansion, Dian Wei was in charge of the guards, and Cao Anmin was in charge of taking care of it, so neither of them drank.

Cao Anmin helped Cao Cao to lie down on the bed.

Cao Cao was drunk and his throat was dry, but he suddenly stared at his eyes full of red silk and said, "Is there a beautiful woman in this city?" ”

Cao Anmin is the son of his younger brother Cao De, after Cao De's death, he has always been with him, as a parent, so he knows what he wants and wants, and some things that cannot be known to outsiders are handed over to Cao Anmin.

In fact, Cao Anmin did understand his uncle's thoughts, and as soon as he entered the city, he had already sent people to inquire around, and when he heard his uncle ask, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"I heard that Zhang Ji's wife Zou is peerless, and she is the first beauty in Wancheng, but the day before yesterday suddenly disappeared, and some people rumored that Zhang Ji died at the hands of Liu Pingxian's brother, and the Zou family went to assassinate Liu Pingxian's brother in order to avenge her husband.

Since Liu Pingxian's brother is safe and sound, thinking that the Zou family may be in his hands, the nephew will go elsewhere to ask for his uncle's enjoyment. ”

"There is such a thing, why haven't you heard Ping'er talk about it?" Cao Cao's pupils couldn't help shrinking: "Such a vicious woman, what do you do if you don't kill it?"

That's it, no matter how beautiful she is, if you dare to mistreat Ping'er, let Ping'er deal with it.

I, as a father-in-law, how can I rob my son-in-law's woman, and won't it make people laugh when it spreads? ”

Cao Cao certainly admires mature women, and for him, Zhang Ji's widow is just right, but since this woman is ready to kill his son-in-law, he naturally won't have any more ideas.

Cao Anmin continued: "It is said that there are two concubines among the concubines of Zhang Ji, although they are not as good as his wife Zou, they are also the best of the country, and now they are in a house in the west of the city, why don't you go and invite your uncle to come?" ”

"Why don't you go yet?" Cao Cao said impatiently.

Cao Anmin understood, quickly slipped out, and came back after a stick of incense, with two vegetarian women behind him, trembling in front of the bed.

As the saying goes, women should be pretty and filial, and the two women looked as bright as jade, looking pitiful, although they were not as good as Mrs. Zou, but they also had a middle-class appearance.

Cao Cao's heart was moved: "You two, can you be an old man?" ”
