This is the first time Cao Ang has seen the ancient city, although he has been prepared, but his mood at the moment is still throbbing and difficult to understand, the cascading wooden beams and tile houses are scattered one after another, and the private houses and pavilions are clustered together, and they are arranged in an orderly manner under the series of polished bluestone streets, but the crowd on the street is obviously very panicked, one by one with a bitter face, and occasionally you can hear the crying noise coming from the houses.

Before coming to the Taishou Mansion in Wancheng, I saw two teams of soldiers standing neatly on both sides of the mansion, not to mention a hundred people, and the team was quite neat. Each of these soldiers held a two-foot-long Pu knife in their hands, cold and miserable. A fool can also see that Zhang Xiu did it on purpose.

I saw two soldiers striding up to Cao Ang, and one of them bowed to Cao Ang and said, "Sir, my general is invited." After speaking, he didn't speak, turned around and led Cao Ang to the house, Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "This is called sitting on the ground and starting the price, although it is a surrender, but it is also necessary to put on a full face." ”

When he came to the main hall, the soldier stood to the side, nodded to Cao Ang, and said, "Please." Cao Ang smiled at him kindly, and then walked into the hall.

In the main hall, the first person is burly and tall, and his appearance is quite rough, obviously not Wanyu is a local student, not Zhang Xiu, who is it? In addition to Zhang Xiu in the hall, there was still a black-faced scribe standing on the side seat, with half-closed and half-open eyes, as if he had never woken up, and his expression was indifferent. Cao Ang looked at Zhang Xiu carefully for a long time, then clasped his fists with both hands, and said lightly: "Cao Ang, who is a county of China, is here to visit General Zhang in Wancheng on the order of his father. ”

"Cao Ang?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and Jia Xu, who was half-eyed and slightly closed, moved in his heart, and silently glanced at Cao Ang, obviously with his poisonous wisdom, he never thought that Cao Cao would send his eldest son who was only twenty years old as an envoy, what was the intention of this?

Jia Xu was puzzled, Zhang Xiu was even more surprised, after a long time, Zhang Xiu, who could hear the first of Cao Angfang, replied with a smile: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Cao Gongzi, who is not only good-looking at a young age, but also does things that others dare not do, and deserves to be the son of Lord Sikong!" Cao Gongzi, please be seated! ”

Cao Ang raised his head and smiled politely at Zhang Xiu when he heard this, and made a joke at him not very skillfully, and then he flashed to the side of the side and knelt down, Cao Ang nodded with a smile, and secretly scolded the people of the Han Dynasty in his heart that he didn't know if there was something wrong with his head, and he was not comfortable standing on his knees, and when he settled down in the future, he must find a way to get a few chairs, otherwise he was afraid that in a few years, he Cao Dagongzi would have to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.

After Zhang Xiu took Cao Ang's seat, he greeted him with tea left and right, and then said two words to Cao Ang. Cao Ang saw Zhang Xiu's score, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and then cut to the point first, and said to Zhang Xiu: "General, this time Cao Ang came on the orders of his father, in order to convey a few words from his father to the general. and posthumously ordered his uncle Zhang Ji to be the general of Pingxi, commending his merits in protecting the Han from thieves. (Zhang Ji was killed by Li Dao Guo Yan, but there is no credit for Bao Han, here is the protagonist to win over Zhang Xiu)

This is indeed the words that Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to pass on before Cao Ang's departure, after all, the relationship between Zhang and Cao is still quite sensitive. sense, Cao Cao, in order to let Zhang Xiu surrender with peace of mind, naturally offered rich conditions.

Zhang Xiu heard Cao Ang's promise to be a marquis, and was overjoyed for a while, after all, the marquis was the highest treatment for officials in the Han Dynasty, but when he saw Zhang Xiu's face was happy, he was about to answer, but he heard a thin cough from the corner, the sound was not loud but it was very clear in the empty hall.

I saw Zhang Xiu's body trembled slightly, and then pressed his mind, and replied softly to Cao Ang with a suspicious face: "Cao Gong Xiong is magnanimous, regardless of the previous suspicions, so that the embroidery is very admired, and Cao Gong is taken in, I am really grateful, and the embroidery is not repaid, and I am willing to guard the south of the border for Cao Gong, so as to block the roads in the south of the border." ”

Cao Ang suddenly said when he heard this, "It turns out that Zhang Xiu is going to continue to lead the troops to guard Wancheng, and it is also difficult, he just rebelled the night before, and now Cao Cao wants to accept him again, if I am him, it is impossible to easily lead the crowd into Xudu." That's understandable. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Ang groaned slightly, and then nodded lightly: "There is General Zhang guarding Wancheng, my father is 10,000 at ease, I heard that there is a tiger under the general's knees, and now my Han has been repeatedly changed, and the talent is not good, the general guards Wancheng, it is better to send his son to drive, in the future, I can expand the land for my Han Dynasty, and I can glorify the ancestors for the general, I don't know what the general wills?" ”

I only heard Zhang Xiu laugh and said: "The son killed Zhang Xiu, forgive the dog, but he is only a talent of ten miles, how can he be worthy of entering Beijing as an official?" The Son of Heaven has Cao Gong's father and son as such good ministers as supplements, and in the future, he can revive the Han family and accept Kyushu, so as to shake the Han Dynasty. Why do you need others to save more? ”

Cao Ang was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and a burst of fire burst out of his heart, good for you Zhang Xiu, I take into account your feelings, and take the risk of going back to be rectified by Cao Cao's stinky old man, and promise you to guard Wancheng, you are good! Kick your nose in the face! You don't even want to send protons? All the good things in the world have made your surname Zhang shine!

Seeing that Cao Ang's face was a little displeased, Jia Xu on the side suddenly opened his eyes and said softly: "Cao Gongzi, it's not that my general is unwilling to send his son to the court to accompany him, it's just that my son-in-law is still young, and he really can't leave his parents. If you want Sikong to be broad-minded, you will definitely understand the hardships of my general. ”

Cao Ang couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jia Xu for a moment when he heard this, although this scribe said that his appearance was not good, and he looked ordinary, but he spoke in a measured manner, so that people couldn't find out the slightest bit of wrong, it was really powerful! Cao Ang couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know Mr. Gao's name?" Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, under Jia Xu, I have seen Cao Gongzi." ”

"Jia Xu?" Looking at the man in front of him who was thrown on the street and couldn't be picked out immediately, Cao Ang's heart couldn't help beating suddenly, seeing that he seemed to be loyal and honest, and he had the demeanor of an elder, who would have thought that he was the most sensible and wise person in the Three Kingdoms, and he didn't need to think about it, once he plotted to hit the end, it would be difficult for people to turn over, poison Jia Xu!

Cao Ang pressed his surprise mood, while looking at Jia Xu, who seemed to be generous, while carefully planning countermeasures in his heart, and after a while, a rough plan gradually took shape in his heart.

"That's fine." I saw Cao Ang suddenly smile, turned his head to Zhang Xiu and smiled: "Since the general has this difficulty, I will go back to report to my father, presumably with my father's merit, I will not pursue the general too much." ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly rejoiced when he heard this: "In this way, Zhang Xiu is here to thank the eldest prince for his kindness!" Cao Ang waved his hand heartily and said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, this matter is so decided, apart from these, presumably General Zhang has no objection to the matter of annexation, right?" ”

Zhang Xiu was really happy in his heart, raised his head and said with a long smile: "Zhang Xiu is obedient, since he should be the head of Cao Gong's horse is Zhan, what Shicai said, embroidery is really a hardship, and other things, but whatever Cao Gong commands, Zhang Xiu will definitely die!" When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes flashed, and he quickly nodded: "Okay!" The general is really quick to talk, Cao Ang is deeply admired, and now his father has something to worry about the general, I don't know if the general may respond? "Sample, I don't believe you didn't miss this time.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he also nodded hurriedly and said: "Naturally, naturally, what does Cao Gong command, Zhang Xiu should take the order." Cao Ang frowned lightly, and a hint of a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly: "My father has heard of Wuwei Jia Xu's name for a long time, but he still hates not to see it. Today, since Jia Gong is here with the general, he should enter the capital to meet the Son of Heaven, and by the way, he can also repay his father's affection. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the smile on Zhang Xiu's face suddenly stiffened, and he stood in place, his eyes were dumb. And Jia Xu over there didn't seem to have thought that Cao Ang would say this, his half-closed and half-open eyes were completely open at this time, and he began to look at Cao Ang seriously for the first time, looking at this young man with a kind smile on his face, Rao is a scheming Jia Xu, and his heart was also slightly sudden, flooding with a trace of waves.

Now Zhang Xiu can be described as a dumb person who can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis, and Cao Ang agreed to all his conditions, causing himself to underestimate this young man, and after stepping into this kid's trap, Shicai himself has already said enough, how can he regret it at this time? What's more, when this kid asked for Jia Xu, he even added a fierce medicine, the meaning of the Son of Heaven! Even though the current emperor of the Han Dynasty is already in name only, but now that the words have reached his head, how can he Zhang Xiu openly disobey his orders? But if Jia Xu is really allowed to enter Xudu, he will definitely be reluctant.

Seeing that there was silence for a long time, Zhang Xiu suddenly spoke slowly: "Childe, this matter... Can this matter be considered in the long run? This time, Cao Ang didn't pretend to be a good person, but he got up with a sneer, and said quietly: "General Zhang, my father and son treat each other sincerely, but you have repeatedly pushed back and blocked, it's too much!" If the conditions you are talking about are replaced by someone else, which will easily allow you to sit on the ground and raise the price! I remembered that my father admired the general's talent, and he risked his disapproval to promise the general, but now I just want to invite a guest secretary under the general's account to enter Beijing to see the driver, who would have thought that the general would be so stingy! Anyway, Cao Ang said goodbye! ”

After that, I saw Cao Ang get up and pretend to go out of the hall, this time Zhang Xiu was really anxious, but let him hold Cao Ang, but he really didn't have the guts, and was hesitating, only to see Jia Xu suddenly get up, bow to Cao Ang and say: "Jia Xu is willing to follow the son into Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven." ”

Cao Ang suddenly stopped when he heard this, and only after a while did he slowly turn around, the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed slightly, but his mouth was still cold: "If Mr. Jia is unwilling, he doesn't have to be reluctant." I saw Jia Xu shake his head lightly, and said softly: "What an honor it is to meet the Son of Heaven, how can Jia Xu be reluctant?" What's more, Jia Xu has been appreciated by Lord Sikong, so he should be even more honored. Childe rested in the pavilion for a while, Jia Xu cleaned up for a while, and then followed Childe back to the camp to meet Cao Gong. ”

Cao Ang heard that a stone in his heart finally landed, hehe, Zhang Xiu, others don't know your details, I know! If you want to defend Wancheng, or take charge of the army alone, or don't send hostages, I will follow you. As long as the master wants Jia Xu to leave, it will be ten embroidery, and it won't be able to set off much storm. I saw Cao Ang smiling and bowing his head slightly at Jia Xu and said, "In this case, Cao Ang will go to the post house first and wait for the news from Mr." After speaking, he bowed his hand to the two of them, tidied up his clothes slightly, and walked slowly out of the hall

"Wenhe!" As soon as Cao Ang disappeared outside the mansion, he saw Zhang Xiu hurriedly get up and grabbed Jia Xu, the look in his eyes was full of reluctance and panic, "Do you really want to go to Xudu?" That.. So what should I do? ”

But listening to Jia Xu's long sigh, he turned around and bowed to Zhang Xiu, his face was neither happy nor angry, and he slowly spoke: "General, you and my master's servant, from today onwards, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue." Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a huge shock when she heard this, and grabbed Jia Xu's hand and couldn't help but increase her strength a little and said, "Why?" Wenhe, Zhang Xiu thinks that he has never treated you badly. ”

Jia Xu sighed: "The general is gracious, Jia Xu knows it, and because of this, Jia Xu left the general in order to repay the general's kindness." General, Cao's father and son are not idle, they will become a hegemon in the future, as long as the general guards Wancheng, presumably Cao Cao will not treat the general badly. Jia Xu always pays attention to Wancheng in Xudu, please rest assured that the general. ”

"Cao father and son?" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a long time, and the hand holding Jia Xu slowly loosened, and after a long time, he said softly: "You mean... That Cao Ang? Jia Xu's eyes were slowly half-closed and half-open at this time, and I saw him frowning, as if talking to himself, and said softly: "When you are only a weak crown, you can understand the key points of the other party, how can you reach ordinary people?" Fathers and sons are capable, how many are there in the world? General, Providence is like this, don't force it"
