In Fancheng, Zhang Xiu, who returned from defeat, was discussing countermeasures with Jia Xu: "Sir, the situation is too bad now, Cao Cao's military talent is more than 10,000 times better than his martial arts, I underestimate him too much!" ”

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, my lord, have you forgotten what we said, and Lord Liu Biao's reinforcements?" ”

Zhang Xiu sighed and said: "Look at the performance of Cao Cao's soldiers today, will Liu Biao and those people be opponents?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Jia Xu always seemed to be full of confidence, he looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Don't forget, my lord, we once said that if Liu Biao is not defeated by Cao Cao, we will surrender!" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "What if Cao Cao doesn't agree?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "No, because the first messenger to go to sue for peace is-I, Jia Wenhe!" Second, it was not a real surrender, but an expedient measure to win reinforcements from Lord Liu Biao! ”

"Sir, you?" Zhang Xiu was shocked when she heard this, "No, Cao Cao is the most jealous of Mr.'s strategy, what if Cao Cao detains or kills Mr.?" And you said that pretending to sue for peace, it is hard to guarantee that Cao Cao will not see it! ”

"Cao Cao is not this kind of person!" Jia Xu laughed and walked outside the mansion gate, "Although the lord can rest assured, this task is very simple, and General Hu Che'er is still in Cao Cao's hands, and we also have Cao Cao's general Zhu Ling in our hands, I will sue for peace in the name of exchanging prisoners, let Cao Cao relax his guard, and promise us!" Fortunately, before Lord Liu Biao arrived, he had enough time! Maybe—

"If you're lucky, you don't know if you kill Cao Cao!" Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiu with a gloomy smile.

Cao Cao's secret march, Zhang Xiu was caught off guard, clearly let Xiahou Dun be the vanguard, in fact, it was to attract Zhang Xiu's attention, so that it was convenient for him to make a detour to march, this trick was really effective, a melee last night greatly hit the morale of Zhang Xiu's army, and also smashed Zhang Xiu's plan to organize a sufficient defense.

The sky is about to dawn, Cao Cao has and Xiahou Dun sent troops to surround the east gate and north gate of Fancheng, Xiahou Yuan's men and horses also trapped the west gate, because Xiahou Yuan was seriously injured and difficult to go out, Cao Cao let Cao Ang and Cao Anmin temporarily replace the commander, originally worried that the two were too young to have any trouble, but the messengers from the west gate came to report the battle situation one after another to let Cao Cao relax.

"Lord, General Cao Ang's soldiers and horses killed more than 500 enemy soldiers and captured Zhang Quan, Zhang Xiu's general!"

"My lord, General Cao Anmin also captured Zhang Xiu's general Yang Ding, and also recruited nearly a thousand enemy soldiers!"

"Yes, good!" Cao Cao rode his horse and moved slowly, and from time to time he said uplifting words to boost the morale of the troops, "It is worthy of being a member of my Cao family, Dian Wei, it seems that we can't drag on any longer, let's break through the city gate in one fell swoop!" ”

"Good!" Dian Wei only said a good word, then lifted the double halberd and shouted into the enemy's group, everywhere the double halberd went, there were all bloody limbs and broken arms, the scene was quite bloody.

Cao Cao's men and horses around him were naturally also encouraged, and the speed of wielding the weapons in his hands couldn't help but become faster, and after a while, the enemy soldiers outside the city had been wiped out.

Dian Wei was still waiting to take the lead and continue to charge, but he saw that the north gate suddenly opened slowly, and a person came out of it and shouted: "Stop, your general Zhu Ling is here, I specially came to change General Hu Che'er!" ”

"Huh?" Dian Wei took advantage of the situation, but saw that it was Jia Xu who was out of the city, he was riding a tall horse with a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope behind the horse was Zhu Ling, who was tied up with five flowers.

Cao Cao slowly rode over and laughed: "It turned out to be Mr. Jia Xu, the armies stopped fighting and let Mr. Jia Xu come over!" ”

Under Cao Cao's order, the soldiers immediately stopped fighting, stepped back and erected huge shields, leaving a path in the middle to let Jia Xu in.

Jia Xu came to Cao Cao, looked up and down and said, "It's been a long time, Cao Gong!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and walked side by side with Jia Xu: "This title is out, Mr. Jia Xu, you are more than ten years older than me!" ”

Jia Xu looked back at Dian Wei, who was like a demon beside Cao Cao, and waved his hand again and again: "I don't dare, if I dare to shout out Cao Gong's name, I'm afraid that I will soon become a hedgehog!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed and made a gesture of invitation to Jia Xu, "It's windy outside, let's talk inside the tent!" ”

"Let General Zhu Ling suffer!" Jia Xu turned around and dismounted, shook off the rope, pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut Zhu Ling's rope.

Zhu Ling first looked at Jia Xu's behavior in confusion, and then knelt on the ground in shame and pleaded guilty to Cao Cao: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the lord!" ”

"What punishment is not punished!" Cao Cao picked up Zhu Ling and said, "Go to the rear army and rest!" At the same time, he ordered the herald, "Go to the camp of Xiahoudun and bring Hu Che'er here to meet me!" ”

Jia Xu and Cao Cao sat down in the tent, and then went straight to the point: "Cao Gong should already know my intention, right?" ”

Cao Cao said mysteriously: "Could it be that you have come to ask for surrender?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Zhang Xiu really knows the current affairs, it's hard for me to attack Fancheng with all my might!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Cao Gong didn't attack with all his strength, he had already made Zhang Xiu's men lose their armor, if they really went into battle with all their strength, it was estimated that it would be unimaginable!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Hehe, Wen He is resourceful, I have already used your intentions, but unfortunately there are too many barriers in the middle, now Zhang Xiu is willing to surrender, why don't Wen He be a strategist under my account?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Cao Gong for your love, but I have offended the world from Li Dao in the past, and now I am from Zhang Xiu, and I am obedient to my words, once I leave, I can't bear it, and I will be ashamed of the world!" ”

Cao Cao wanted to say something, but Xiahoudun had already arrived with soldiers carrying Hu Che'er and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, I have brought this Hu Che'er according to your wishes." ”

Hu Che'er thought that Jia Xu was also captured by Cao Cao, and couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Sir, why are you too?" ”

Jia Xu didn't speak, but looked at Hu Che'er's injury, looked at Xiahoudun and said, "The general seems to have suffered a lot for him!" ”

Xiahou said awe-inspiringly: "There is no way, whoever wants to be unfavorable to Meng De, I will make him cry and not be able to cry!" As he spoke, he looked at Hu Che'er meaningfully and blushed at him.

Cao Cao naturally saw the penetrating wound on Hu Che'er's thigh, and said to Jia Xu with some apologies: "Wenhe, although I really want to leave General Hu for treatment, it seems that it will arouse General Zhang Xiu's vigilance, so I still trouble you!" ”

"Well said, well said! I didn't expect that Cao Gong would treat the captives so favorably, and Lord Zhang Xiu could compare them to ...... Hahaha, farewell, I will definitely bring Master Zhang Xiu here tomorrow! Jia Xu said and ordered the sergeant to carry the cart first, and then got on his horse and took his leave.

Cao Cao also got up to see him off: "Then I'll wait outside the city for good news!" ”

Jia Xu didn't go far on his horse, and suddenly the horse neighed, Jia Xu looked forward, it turned out to be the fierce and vicious Dian Wei was walking slowly with a double halberd in his hand, and that appearance frightened his mount, he asked with a smile: "Your Excellency is what Cao Gong often said about the evil Dian Wei, right?" ”

"It's down there!" Dian Wei laughed and saluted Jia Xu.

"Well, it's really brave and abnormal!" Jia Xu said on the horse, "God really favors Cao Gong, whether it is his relatives or subordinates, he is outstanding, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people!" ”

"Mr. has won the prize!" Dian Wei looked at Jia Xu with admiration and said, "It's just brave and unscrupulous, Mr. is wise and brave, and he is brave!" Dare to come and ask for surrender in the chaos of the army, and change it to someone else, I am afraid that I will fight on both legs, and I will be incoherent! ”

"Hahaha, this is also where Cao Gong is clever in employing people, not only knowing what he can, but also knowing what he can't, promoting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, making the best use of his talents, Cao Gong is worthy of being a generation of heroes!" Jia Xu said this in his mouth, but he actually looked at Cao Cao behind him, then let out a long laugh, and walked towards Fancheng along the way he came just now.

Looking at Jia Xu's departing back, Xiahoudun said behind Cao Cao: "Meng De, you don't really plan to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender, do you?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "You can solve the problem by not fighting, why fight?" ”

Xiahoudun frowned and said, "Meng De won't forget that there is also a Liu Biao, right?" He should be on his way to Fancheng at this time! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Liu Biao, I haven't taken it into account yet, his allies have all surrendered to me, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Xiahoudun looked at the wall of Fancheng waving the white flag and muttered, "I hope all my worries are superfluous!" ”

At this time, in the Zou Mansion in Fancheng, Zou Yun was sitting by the window leaning on the railing, boredly watching the flowers in the garden competing for thousands of purples and thousands of reds, but her eyes were listless, and her mood was also heavy.

She didn't know if her original escape was a mistake, if it wasn't for her insistence on opposing her father's hydrangea recruitment, she wouldn't have gone to find the man who made her heart move, but she didn't expect that the man was Zhang Ji who was attacking Fancheng.

Zhang Ji, the enemy of Liu Biao, the owner of Fancheng, yes, she got the love she wanted, although it was as short as a meteor, and the whole family of Zou Mansion paid the price for her.

Now the Zou Mansion is still the original courtyard, but it has been lifeless, and it is no longer prosperous at that time, just like a ghost house, people often say that the abandoned house of the Zou Mansion will often come out at night with bursts of resentful crying, maybe it is the unwilling crying of relatives!

"Sister! You're back! Suddenly, a voice sounded, Zou Yun turned his head in confusion mixed with surprise, but saw his sister Zou Qian standing behind him in full costume, looking at him with a smile.

"Sister Qian!"

"Yun'er, you're back!" Zou Qian stepped forward and grabbed Zou Yun's arm and said kindly, "Where have you been for most of the year?" Let the father be easy to find! ”

"Sister Qian!" Zou Yun touched Zou Qian's arm, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that Zou Qian's arm was like ice, cold to the bone marrow.

She let go of Zou Qian in a panic, looked at her beloved sister in front of her in confusion, and muttered, "Sister, why are your hands so cold?" ”

"Of course, all this is thanks to you, sister!" Zou Qian's two jade arms were attached to Zou Yun's body, sliding onto Zou Yun's fragrant neck, and then slammed it down, shouting, "Give me back my life!" ”
