When everyone entered the Wancheng Taishou Mansion Chamber, his subordinates had already arranged all the banquets.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu both pushed Zheng Xuan to sit first, and Zheng Xuan did not refuse.

As guests, Zheng Xuan's disciples sat in the right seat, while Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and Liu Ye sat in the left seat, Zhang Xiujun was the only one who could participate in this meeting, and Hu Che'er was the only one on Liu Ye's side for the time being, and Zhang Duo and Xu Gan under him were also responsible for staying in the south of Runan County.

When he was outside, Zheng Xuan never spoke easily, and everything was handed over to Ren Yi to dispose of.

Therefore, after everyone sat down, Ren Yan asked unceremoniously: "Wine is not in a hurry to drink, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, what do you mean, are you going to give our master and apprentice to Cao Cao as gifts?" ”

After the Battle of Nanyang, Cao Cao took the initiative to release the news, willing to abandon the hatred of killing his son with Zhang Xiu, and was willing to accept Zhang Xiu again, and Zhang Xiu received the holy decree, but he never gave the outside world a very clear attitude.

This made the surrounding forces speculate that Zhang Xiu was afraid that under the influence of Jia Xu, it was really possible to prepare to take the initiative to submit to Cao Cao at the right time. Therefore, Ren Yi thought that Liu Ye and Jia Xu did this because they wanted to give their master and apprentice to Cao Cao as a gift as their own advancement.

"Hahaha, Ren prodigy, it's still the same sentence, please don't be impatient. I'll give Zheng Gonghe and the two of you an explanation now. Jia Xu said with a laugh.

Then, Jia Xu told Liu Shan that he had the courage to enter Wancheng alone without Jin Jue's order and persuaded Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to surrender.

What was Jin Jue's strength at that time, and what was Zhang Xiu's strength. Jin Jue only occupied Luoyang County and half of Wudu County, while Zhang Xiu occupied the entire Nanyang County.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, although Nanyang County had undergone three iterations of the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shu, the mediocre and guarded Hu Wei, its remaining population was far more than ten times more than ten times more than that of all the Han people in Luoyang County and Wudu County combined.

Although the troops in Zhang Xiu's hands are small, they are all elite, and if the 2,000 Xiliang cavalry are placed on the plain, except for Jin Jue, even if the others lead less than 50,000 infantry, they may not be able to beat these Xiliang elite soldiers. What's more, as early as when Zhang Xiu followed his uncle Zhang Ji, he was promoted to General Jianzhong because of his military merits and was named Xuanwei Marquis by the imperial court.

When Liu Shan arrived in Wancheng, although Jin Jue's general title was slightly higher than that of Zhang Xiu, he himself did not have any title at all.

If Liu Shan took the initiative to surrender to Zhang Xiu instead of Jin Jue, it would be in line with common sense.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu had Jia Xu by his side, and he turned around in it, not only did he not kill Liu Shan because of this, but when he heard that Jin Jue dared to implement any 'emperor training plan' in the territory, Jia Xu made a bet with Liu Shan, and the content of the bet was that if Jin Jue could win the Hanzhong Army within two years, then Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu would take refuge in Jin Jue.

"What?" Recently, Ren Yan's temper seems to be a little irritable, but that is also because it involves the safety of the teacher Zheng Xuan, he is still a very calm person on weekdays, he is a smart person, after listening to Jia Xu's story, he immediately guessed something that surprised him greatly.

"Brother Nanhe, according to what you say, could it be that the second son of Jin has now taken Hanzhong County? And General Zhang, Liu Ye and you have decided to join Jin Ergongzi together because of this agreement? Ren asked in disbelief.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a prodigy, it's a little thorough." When Jia Xu heard this, he glanced at Ren Yan in a little surprise, praised him, and then he sighed sincerely: "Alas! I'm afraid that the people of the world can't imagine that the second son of Jin not only succeeded in taking the entire Hanzhong County in less than half a year, but at this moment, he has led his troops into the hinterland of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang's army was defeated.

Childe's ability to fight is really amazing to both Xu and General Zhang, even if Han Xin is alive, I'm afraid it's just that! Therefore, our two armies have indeed decided to surrender to the second son. ”

"Then ......" Liu Yan listened to it on the side, his eyes widened and he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Liu Ye, he said: "Gong Zheng, two gentlemen, if you enter Guanzhong from Wuguan according to the original plan, and then go to Luoyang County, you may not be able to meet the second prince smoothly." Because, as early as last year, Ma Tengjun had already turned his face with Gongzi and tried to sneak attack Luoyang County, but he was expected by the second son in advance and burned the entire county seat of Luoyang County.

Therefore, Ye had the courage to take matters into his own hands and sent you to Nanyang first, and from here into Hanzhong County. I'm afraid, Zheng Gong, it won't be long before you meet the second son! ”

"Nanhe, General Zhang, the old man wants to ask you, since you have decided to take refuge in Jin Jue, what are you going to do next, do you continue to stay in Nanyang County, or something else?" Zheng Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Jia Xu with burning eyes, and asked.

"Hahaha, Gong Zheng, you are too worried, since the last general and Mr. Jia have decided to take refuge in the second son, naturally they will not make their own decisions, everything is up to the second son." Zhang Xiu replied with a laugh.

To be honest, if the news of Zhang Xiujun's switch to Jin Juejun is leaked, the situation between Zhang Xiujun and Nanyang County will inevitably become extremely critical immediately.

Neither Liu Biao nor Cao Cao could tolerate such a force turning to their future neighbors and enemies.

Even though Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu have always been wavering, during this time, Liu Biao has always put all his attention on Sanba and Yizhou.

However, with Pang Xi's men firmly guarding Jiangguan, with the ability of Liu Biao and his generals, it was not enough to break through Jiangguan and take Guling County, and then the entire Yizhou. At the same time, Hua Xin dedicated Yuzhang County to Sun Ce, and the unscrupulous military training of the 'unknown man' Zhou Yu in Yuzhang County reached Jingzhou, which still touched the sensitive nerves of Liu Biao and Huang Zu, and posed a great threat to Jiangxia County and Jingzhou.

Therefore, of course, Liu Biao could not sit idly by and watch Nanyang County and Zhang Xiujun fall into the hands of his future neighbors.

The same is true for Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu and Jin Jue both have a deep hatred with Cao Cao, not to mention that Jia Xu, a strategist that Cao Cao attaches great importance to, if he is transferred to Jin Jue, the threat to him will increase linearly.

If the news leaks out, Cao Cao will definitely be desperate and take the initiative to make a temporary peace agreement with Liu Yan, and send troops to attack Nanyang together.

Zheng Xuan asked this because he was worried that Zhang Xiujun's reckless action would implicate more people in Nanyang County.
