Chapter 2 Zhang Xiu
The last general, Zhang Xiu, coerced the officials of Wan County, and Jin Dai Wan County greeted Cao Gong Dajia!
Five miles outside the county seat of Wanxian County, a large number of people were pressed by the black, all bowing down to Cao Cao who was at the forefront, and its leader, named Zhang Xiu, was the lord of Wanxian County! Take a closer look at this person, seven feet tall, tall, at this time, the top helmet is filled with armor, the sword hangs from the waist, and the end is extraordinary!
Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and before anyone arrived in front of Zhang Xiu, his hands were already empty, and he laughed and said, How can General Zhang be so far away! Before Cao Cao's words fell, he had already arrived in front of Zhang Xiu, and helped Zhang Xiu up with both hands!
Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to speak, Cao Cao saluted with his hands to the sky, bowed down to Zhang Xiu and the officials and all the people of Wanxian County behind him, and thanked you on behalf of Your Majesty, thank you for distinguishing right from wrong, and avoiding the disaster of swords!
When Zhang Xiu and the others heard this, they hurriedly bowed down and said, Thank you, Your Majesty!
After this ceremony, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu exchanged a few words, Zhang Xiu said, Cao is tired from the road, and the last general has ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the county office, and asked Cao Gong to move!
After Cao Cao said this, he turned around and walked a few steps, turned over and turned over on his own war horse, Zhang Xiu saw this, and also turned over on the horse, and led the way in front of his head!
…………!
When everyone walked to the county government of Wanxian County, they all turned over and dismounted on foot, Zhang Xiu was beside Cao Cao, slightly lower than Cao Cao's half a position, leading Cao Cao and everyone to the county office!
After everyone walked to the hall, the table had already been set up in the hall, and some maids were also putting wine and food on the table!
Although Zhang Xiu is the lord of this Wan County, however, now that he has surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will naturally sit on this throne! Cao Cao valued Zhang Xiu as a watch, and also ordered his subordinates to set up another table next to the main seat, and let Zhang Xiu sit next to him!
After everyone sat down, the two sides naturally introduced their entourage to each other one by one!
In addition to Cao Ang, there were also strategists Xun You, Xun Gongda, generals Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, Man Chong, Man Boning, Su Wei general Dian Wei, clan nephew, Cao Anmin, and some other civil and military officials large and small in the army!
After Zhang Xiu's introduction, Cao Ang felt extremely regretful, because except for Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er who were the characters that Cao Ang knew, the rest of the people, Cao Ang didn't know any of them, as for the one Cao Ang wanted to see the most, he was known as a poisoner, and he was also the most critical figure in this battle, Jia Xu, was not in the hall at all!
After the introduction of the two sides, the wine and food have been served, Cao Cao saw this, and also ordered everyone not to be restrained, and the banquet began!
During the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and staggered each other, but because Zhang Xiu's side belonged to the new descendant, although Cao Cao said that there was no need to be restrained, but the atmosphere was not warm, and the two sides did not talk about business, but just complimented each other and talked about it at will!
Cao Ang, as Cao Cao's eldest son, although he is only a lieutenant, but Zhang Xiufang will naturally not slack off, while complimenting Cao Ang, he toasts Cao Ang, and in this case, Cao Ang is not easy to refuse, yes, Cao Ang is the person who drinks the most except Dian Wei!
…………!
The banquet lasted for a long time before it dispersed, and after Cao Ang returned to the room that had been arranged, he ordered someone to make a bowl of sobering tea for himself, and then he thought back to the people on Zhang Xiu's side during the banquet just now, trying to figure out who had what ability!
…………!
In the evening, Zhang Xiu threw a banquet again, but Cao Ang refused on the grounds that he drank too much during the day!
At this time, Cao Ang thought to himself, I don't know if in a few days, Lao Tzu will be killed by you, Lao Tzu is trying to figure out how to kill you, how can he have the heart to drink with you?
After the people went down, Cao Ang continued to think about how to kill Zhang Xiu, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of any way! Cao Ang didn't know if he really drank too much during the day, or used his brain too much, and when it was over, Cao Ang only felt sleepy, so he fell on the bed and fell asleep!
In the early morning of the next day, after Cao Ang woke up, after washing, because this place is not good for exercising like usual, he just simply moved his muscles and bones in the yard, and after breakfast, Cao Ang went to greet Cao Cao!
After arriving at Dian Wei, Cao Ang went in to salute Cao Cao! After Cao Ang entered the house, he saw that Cao Cao was already dealing with official business, after Cao Ang finished the ceremony, the father and son just briefly discussed a few words, saying that it was a discussion, but in fact, most of them were Cao Cao considering Cao Ang, so after a while, Cao Ang retreated, and Cao Cao continued to deal with official business!
After Cao Ang came out of Cao Cao, he also probably learned about Cao Jun's situation at this time!
Cao Cao entered Wanxian County, but Dian Wei took his personal guards and full favors, and there were no other people except for the three thousand Cao soldiers led by Xu Huang! And Cao Cao, in order to show his trust in Zhang Xiu, not only did he not transfer Cao's army from outside the city into the city, but even the city defense of Wanxian County continued to be garrisoned by Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses!
…………!
For six days in a row, although Cao Ang was worried all day long, he was also safe! Just when Cao Ang was about to go to see Cao Cao, Cao Cao took the first step to order someone to summon Cao Ang!
Zixiu has seen his father, but I don't know what his father called Zixiu to order? Cao Ang entered the house, saluted Cao Cao, and asked directly!
There is no one else here, between you and me, father and son, there is no need to be so polite! After Cao Cao simply told Cao Ang not to be polite, he continued, what does Zi Xiu think of this Wanxian and Zhang Xiu?
When Cao Ang heard this, he probably knew that Cao Cao was fine at the moment, so he called himself to come and consider, consider!
With this in mind, Cao Ang said what he was going to say to Cao Cao one by one!
Wanxian County is Nanyang's place, and Nanyang has always been a county with a large population, rich in products, and located in the key points of Guanzhong and Jingxiang, in order to get the benefits of Wanxian, there is no need to say much, as for General Zhang Xiu, Zixiu feels that this person is not simple!
When Cao Ang said this, he didn't continue to speak, but looked up at Cao Cao! I saw that Cao Cao didn't make any other moves, and he didn't speak!
Cao Ang understood that this was Cao Cao signaling himself to continue, and Cao Ang continued at random! Zhang Xiu is known as the king of guns in the north, and he must be a rare fierce general! Looking at the respectful attitude of the Xiliang elite under his command, it is expected that Zhang Xiu is also extraordinary in governing the army, so thinking about it, Zhang Xiu is a rare good general!
After Cao Ang finished speaking, seeing that Cao Cao still didn't say a word, he paused and said! This time, our army attacked Wancheng, even if Zhang Xiu did not surrender, our army could still win! However, although Zhang Xiu is divided from one side, he is under the command of Liu Biao, if Zhang Xiu does not surrender to the death, Liu Biao will definitely not sit idly by!
Liu Biao, who rode into Jingzhou alone in his early years, relied on his own strength to govern the intricate Jingzhou in an orderly manner, although in recent years, due to old age, his ambition is not there, he only wants to guard his Jingzhou, and has no intention of fighting for hegemony! Ranwan County is located at a critical point, Liu Biao will definitely send troops to help Zhang Xiu, in this way, even if our army can win, it is also a tragic victory, this situation is not only what our army does not want to see, but also what Zhang Xiu does not want to see!
Cao Ang's words came to this, Cao Cao was a little interested, oh and said, why?
If this is really the case, not only will our army suffer heavy losses, but Zhang Xiujun will definitely not be able to regain his majesty! At that time, no matter whether our army wins or not, Zhang Xiu wants to divide one side again, he has already lost his capital, even if he sincerely follows Liu Biao, at most it is just a fictitious title with no real power!
Although this reason is a little complicated, Zhang Xiu is also a character of the separatist side after all, and it should not be difficult to see it! Even if Zhang Xiu can't see it, presumably someone under his command will be able to sort it out, as long as he makes it clear to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu will also make today's choice! Cao Cao listened to Cao Ang's words and said so!
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cao Ang also knew what he had just said, Cao Cao was not very satisfied, obviously he did not meet Cao Cao's expectations! At that moment, Cao Ang pondered for a moment, sorted out the thoughts in his head, and was ready to say the last words that he had already thought of!
