Chapter 485: Nervous and Wanting to Escape
Zhang Xiu felt frightened for no other reason than because the content of this denunciation was too fatal for herself.
Although the time spent with Cao Cao is not very long, Zhang Xiu also has a general understanding of Cao Cao.
In Zhang Xiu's opinion, Cao Cao's suspicion is still quite heavy.
Especially in the current situation, Cao Cao has occupied his sister-in-law Wrinkle, this is a fact, and even if everyone knows it, this is not a thing that can be put on the table.
The condemnation from Xuzhou speculated that the cause of Zhang Ji's death was because Cao Cao coveted the beauty of the Zou family, so Yan Xing and Liu Xun designed to harm each other, and regardless of whether this matter is true or not, now once it spreads to the world, Cao Cao will inevitably be suspicious of himself and will inevitably be murderous.
This layer of window paper was ruthlessly pierced by the people of Xuzhou, and there will only be two endings.
The first is that this matter is true, whether it is for his own face or to avenge his uncle Zhang Ji, he must be opposed!
Second, although this matter is fake, but Cao Cao's occupation of the Zou family is a fact, this layer of window paper was pierced, Cao Cao knew that Zhang Xiu learned the content of this condemnation, he must be on guard against Zhang Xiu, and have suspicions, for a long time, for the sake of his own stability, he will harm Zhang Xiu.
Therefore, at the moment, there is an unsolvable problem in front of Zhang Xiu!
Regardless of whether the things stated in this condemnation are true or not, Zhang Xiu's future fate under Cao Cao is already doomed.
It was the fate of being killed by Cao Cao.
There is only one path in front of him, and that is the opposite.
Zhang Xiu grabbed the condemnation tightly with both hands, and his face turned red and white.
After being silent for a while, Fang saw Zhang Xiu suddenly stand up and hurriedly run out of the tent with the condemnation.
Zhang Xiu didn't go anywhere else, he just went to Cao Cao's mansion.
At this moment, the night was deep, and Cao Cao had already gone to bed peacefully, but after hearing that Zhang Xiu had arrived, Cao Cao still put on his clothes and got up and met him in the main hall.
After seeing Cao Cao, the potter didn't say a word, and directly knelt down for him with a click.
"Sikong! The last will be wronged! ”
Cao Cao has been condemned by Xuzhou during the day, but he has not asked Zhang Xiu to talk about this matter, as Zhang Xiu expected, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and he is also a little hesitant about this matter.
The most important thing is that Cao Cao is now a thief.
The sharp words on the denunciation letter are trivial matters, and a heroic figure like Cao Cao will not be angry because of this, but the content and speculation in it are like a sharp blade that pierced Cao Cao's heart.
Because what is above is basically in line with the facts.
Cao Cao now hated to arrest Yan Xing and Liu Xun and chop them up.
Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng ...... Two such important figures in Yuan Shu's family, Yan Xing and Liu Xun actually let me go?
What the hell are these two pig heads going on!
Even if he turned the river and the sea in his heart, Cao Cao's face still seemed relatively peaceful.
He asked Zhang Xiu with a smile: "The general came here in the middle of the night to shout grievances, what is the so-called matter?" ”
Zhang Xiu hurriedly handed the condemnation article to Cao Cao and said, "Sikong Mingjian! When Xiu saw this thing, it was like a thunderbolt bombarding the heavenly spirit, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he came to explain to Sikong...... This fact is ......"
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to block Zhang Xiu's words, and said, "The general doesn't need to panic, let me ask you, does the general believe or not believe the content on this?" ”
"Don't believe it!" Zhang Xiu shook his head heavily, and said angrily: "This is clearly the discordant plan of the Xuzhou pottery thief!" ”
Cao Cao smiled with pleasure when he heard this, and said, "In that case, what else does the general have to worry about?" Could it be that in the eyes of the general, Cao is such a narrow-minded person who can't even see the Tao family's small plans? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand.
Cao Cao comforted Zhang Xiu and said: "The general can rest assured, after Cao Mou sets foot in Xuzhou in the future, he will definitely give the general a satisfactory explanation, the general doesn't need to think about it, go back to rest, and after I capture the pottery thief the next day, I will hand him over to you with a thousand cuts." ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly made a gesture, thanked him for his kindness, and swore that he would be loyal to Cao Cao and be selfless.
Cao Cao also showed his attitude and mind of great faith in him.
After Zhang Xiu walked out of the hall, Cao Cao did not rush to rest again, but found someone to call Dian Wei.
Seeing Dian Wei, Cao Cao immediately instructed him: "Order the Lion and Tiger military camp to move the Lion and Tiger soldiers' camp to the vicinity of Zhang Xiu's camp, and monitor his soldiers and horses." ”
Although Dian Wei is honest, he is loyal to Cao Cao and obedient.
What Cao Cao asked him to do, he naturally had no reason to excuse himself.
……
After Zhang Xiu returned to his camp, he immediately found Hu Che'er.
As soon as he saw Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu immediately said: "Order all battalions, look for opportunities to act, pack your bags on a certain day, and let's find an opportunity to leave Xuchang." ”
Hu Che'er was stunned when he heard this, and said, "General, Cao Cao can't tolerate the general?" ”
Zhang Xiuchang sighed and said helplessly: "I can't tolerate it, I have to find a way to go, this matter is too sensitive, even if he can tolerate me now, it will definitely be tolerated after a long time, stay here, every day is like hanging axe hijab, like sitting on a needle, how can I live this kind of life?" I went to Cao Cao tonight to take the initiative to cry out, just to stabilize this old thief, so that I could take advantage of the gap and escape. ”
Hu Che'er listened to the hairs all over her body and stood upside down, and cold sweat fell miserably.
"General, you, you want to rebel?"
"It's not a rebellion, it's a walk!"
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Xiu walked to the map in the tent, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Go to Jingzhou and go to Liu Biao!" This person is a relative of the Han family, sticking to the three rivers, strong power, and the pottery merchants across the river, and listed as the two great princes in the south, only to defect to him, Cao Cao did not dare to retaliate against us. ”
Hu Che'er hurriedly said: "But now, even if we want to leave, we have to have a reason?" ”
"Reason? Yes! Zhang Xiu seemed to have thought about it, and he said to Hu Che'er: "When I was talking to Fan Chou today, I learned that Li Dao had recently finished negotiating with Cao Cao, and he would go to Xuchang from Nanyang Biansai to defect. ”
Hu Che'er suddenly realized when he heard this.
"Is the general planning to take over the name of Li Dao, and then flee to Nanyang and go to Liu Biao?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
……
Two days later, Zhang Xiu really took the initiative to ask Cao Cao to go to Li Dao, who came to defect.
When he admonished Cao Cao, his heart was full of apprehension, and he didn't want Cao Cao to agree almost instantly.
Zhang Xiu was full of joy, but he ignored the gloom and coldness in Cao Cao's eyes when he looked at him.
At the same time, according to Guo Jia's advice and arrangement, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou also quietly began to prepare for action.
