As Jia Xu expected, Zhang Xiu's surrender at this time was undoubtedly a send-off in the snow for Cao Cao, Cao Cao waved his hand, and strictly told the soldiers around him, who dared to criticize the matter of Wancheng in private, and would not be spared.

Cao Cao personally went out to greet Zhang Xiu, regardless of his previous suspicions, and praised the imperial court to crown Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwu, Xuanwei Hou, and let his son Cao Jun marry Zhang Xiu's daughter.

Does Cao Cao really ignore his past suspicions? Cao Ang, Cao An, Min Dian Wei's death, can it really be revealed?

The wheels of history will tell us the answer!

In the Three Kingdoms, after Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, his reward was enviable, which is understandable, Zhang Xiu for Cao Cao, is a benchmark that wins people's hearts to prove Cao Cao's magnanimity and attaches great importance to talents, it can be said that Zhang Xiu is placed in the window for the world to see.

So that everyone knows that Cao Cao really cares about his past suspicions and really cherishes talents, Zhang Xiu was sealed by Cao Cao at the beginning of the 2,000 households, and let his son Cao Jun marry Zhang Xiu's daughter, just the 2,000 households, the most trusted generals around Cao Cao, do not have this treatment.

It can be seen that Cao Cao was really good to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu died mysteriously when he went out to fight Wuhuan. There is no record in this "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Xiu, such a pivotal general, actually died inexplicably, without leaving any pen and ink, which has become an unsolved case for the ages.

Why?

Died in battle? Or did he die of illness? Or was he killed? No explanation? Zhang Xiu seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world.

There is a story in "Wei Luo", which is very intriguing, Cao Pi ridiculed Zhang Xiu in public many times, and once said to him, "Why are you embarrassed to stay with my father to eat and drink when you killed my brother Cao Ang!" After Zhang Xiu heard this, she was very scared, and she committed suicide in shame not long after!

There are a lot of doubts in this, Cao Pi will never dare to do this, since Zhang Xiu is a typical example set up by Cao Cao, naturally Cao Pi will not be allowed to treat Zhang Xiu like this, but Cao Pi was already an adult at that time, and "Wei Luo" is a history book dedicated to praising Cao Wei's family, so naturally he will not smear the Cao family in vain.

Who is it? Obviously, it's Cao Cao himself!

On the surface, Cao Cao is in front of the world, not to pursue Zhang Xiu's past, the battle of Wancheng seems to be really just that, but, this is absolutely impossible, Cao Cao was fighting with Yuan Shao at the time, he urgently needs to encircle Zhang Xiu, after Zhang Xiu surrendered, if Cao Cao is to settle accounts in person, it is undoubtedly self-destructing the city wall, he needs Zhang Xiu's strength, naturally to hide the hatred in his heart temporarily, and wait until Yuan Shao is pacified, the north is unified, and Cao Cao begins to settle accounts after the autumn.

Cao Cao is very smart, this kind of thing, he can't do it himself, and he can't just find an excuse to clean up Zhang Xiu, Cao Pi is obviously the most suitable candidate.

So, based on what Cao Pi said, Zhang Xiu, a general of the army, will commit suicide in shame?

Not necessarily, after all, Zhang Xiu was once a prince, even if Cao Pi said too much, he would not be scared to commit suicide, for a general, drawing a knife to commit suicide is the most difficult shame to accept, and it is better than the glory of dying on the battlefield.

Unless, Zhang Xiu realized that it was Cao Cao who wanted his life.

Like Xun Yu, looking at the empty food box, Xun Yu guessed that Cao Cao wanted his life, so Xun Yu died, and Zhang Xiu probably did the same.

Xun Yu's death preserved the family, and Zhang Xiu was not much different, for the sake of his family, he had to die, otherwise, he would be killed all over the house.

Since ancient times, the king let the minister die, and the minister had to die, even if Cao Cao did not dare to kill Zhang Xiu publicly, there was a way to make Zhang Xiu disappear from the world.

And Jia Xu, as the planner of the battle of Wancheng, it is said that Cao Cao should hate him to the core, but Jia Xu is completely different from Zhang Xiu, even compared with Guo Jiaxunyu and others, his treatment is only high, not low, even if Cao Cao's heirs are on the issue, Jia Xu also plays a vital role, this is what was mentioned before, Jia Xu reached an agreement with Mrs. Bian from the beginning of the battle of Wancheng.

Jia Xu is not loyal to anyone, he is only loyal to himself, in this chaotic era of the chaos of the princes' war, he knows how to protect himself, how to maximize his own interests.

Strategists, some seek the country, some seek things, some seek themselves, and Jia Xu, seek himself first, and always let himself be safe, Xun Yu, Lu Xun... Tian Feng and these people did not have a good death, even if they were geniuses, they were far less familiar with how to survive than Jia Xu.

In the Three Kingdoms, look at how Jia Xu saved his life, first, Dong Zhuo occupied the capital division and offended the princes of the world, Wang Yunqiao made a series of schemes, Jia Xu put forward a poisonous plan in order to protect himself, known as the first poisonous plan of the Three Kingdoms, Li Dao Guo Yan and others led the troops to counterattack Chang'an, Jia Xu became a famous poisoner in the world, in order to save his life, he did not hesitate to take tens of thousands of innocent victims.

However, after Li Dao Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, his evil deeds were straight, and the melee was endless, and his evil was even worse than Dong Zhuo, but Jia Xu, not fighting for fame, not greedy for merit, refused all the rewards of Li Dao and others, but mediated between the Xiliang army and the imperial court, so that the Han family was proudly preserved, and also saved many Han ministers from the scourge of killing, a poisoner who can mess with the world with one word, why is it so abnormal, the answer is very simple, Jia Xu's low-key, just don't want to pull the hatred of the world to himself, Li Dao and others' practices will inevitably provoke the anger of the heavens, If Jia Xu comes out, he can only set himself on fire.

On the contrary, he saved a lot of Han ministers and protected the dignity of the Han family, which also left a way out for him in the future, at least, in the eyes of the court, Jia Xu was kind to the court.

Li Wei and others became more and more unscrupulous, Jia Xu decisively withdrew, and then switched to his fellow countryman Duan Xuan, when Zhang Xiu was in charge, Jia Xu defected to Zhang Xiu again, it can be seen that Jia Xu judged the situation and never would be loyal to anyone to the end, he was only loyal to himself, once the situation was unfavorable, he would immediately withdraw and leave, calmly and decisively, without dragging his feet.

After Cao Cao got rid of Hu Che'er and Zhang Xiu successively, Jia Xu's status rose, and Jia Xu stood firmly behind Cao Pi on the issue of establishing an heir, because it was not that he was optimistic about Cao Pi, but that Cao Pi was his accomplice, and he was also involved in the battle of Wancheng that year.

In addition to Cao Pi, if someone else inherited Cao Cao's hegemony, once the events of the year are investigated, if the truth is revealed to the world, Jia Xu will inevitably be ruined and have no place to die, and support Cao Pi to succeed to the throne, Cao Pi or Mrs. Bian have all received Jia Xu's great kindness, for Jia Xu, not only sit back and relax, but also have a permanent status.

When Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he naturally tried his best to erase the imprint of Jia Xu's battle of Wancheng, so neither "Three Kingdoms", "The Biography of Cao Cao", "The Biography of Zhang Xiu" nor "The Biography of Dian Wei" mentioned Jia Xu's name!
