The first army to leave Yanzhou and go to the south was Cao Hong's subordinates, and in this battle, they shouldered the heaviest responsibility and the largest number of people.

So, the first army of 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Zhang Liao, left Chang'an on a cold morning.

After arranging for 3,000 minfu and 300 soldiers to escort enough grain and grass for this army to eat for three months, Xun Yu set off first, and at the same time that Gao Shun led the trapped camp to leave Yanzhou, he sent 3,000 minfu to leave later, and they carried the same amount of military rations and supplies.

When the army set out, there was no legendary gongs and drums, and there were not many impassioned oath-taking activities, only a group of people who could not see the edge at a glance, and most of them were silent.

Armies are never earth-shattering, they go out silently, then return with glory, and finally become farmers again, craftsmen, and all sorts of people.

In this southern expedition, Cao Cao personally participated in it, went to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender, and then led the army to a life-and-death duel with Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

The raging army has finally started, and Cao Cao is among the last army, and this army is also a very powerful army.

A few days later, Cao Cao led his army to Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu had already led his troops to wait at the city gate.

Cao Cao strode forward, and Dian Wei, who was Cao Cao's bodyguard, followed him, Dian Wei was wearing a black helmet and black armor, typical of Liangzhou military generals.

Zhang Xiu's appearance is also a burly man, and he also has a nickname called "Northland Gun King", one of the three major disciples of the gun prodigy Yuan, with a hundred birds and a phoenix marksmanship, there are few opponents in the world.

Of course, this is more abstract, there must be a comparison! Just look at who the other two disciples of Tong Yuan are, and you can know how powerful Zhang Xiu is.

The two brothers were Zhang Ren, the governor of Sichuan, and ...... When Yang Changban seven in and out of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun seven in and seven out of Changban Slope, met Zhang Xiu, who had already taken refuge in Cao Cao at that time, the two fought for three hundred rounds, and finally Zhao Yun used his own self-created seven detective snake marksmanship to defeat Zhang Xiu's Hundred Birds Chaohuang marksmanship.

This shows how powerful this person is.

Although Zhang Xiu is strong, he is not a person with great ambitions, his eyes are not arrogant, and when he faced Cao Cao, he bowed very respectfully.

Cao Cao got another general, of course he was very happy, his eyes swept over the two behind Zhang Xiu, and asked, "These two ......"

Zhang Xiu pulled over a scribe with a big head and introduced, "This is my military advisor, Jia Xu."

Cao Cao wanted to like talented people, and he knew some things about Jia Xu, of course, he didn't know it before, and even if he did, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But this time, Zhang Xiu's surrender is the attention of this person.

Just in case, Cao Cao specially investigated Jia Xu's past and knew that this was also a strategist with both intelligence.

"Yes, Jia Xu's name, Cao has already heard of it, and he is also a brilliant strategist, you can get the help of Wen He, and you know the general situation, and now you are sincere in Cao, Cao will definitely treat him with the courtesy of a general."

Jia Xu immediately replied: "Thank you Cao Gongzhi for your praise, Wen He is just a white body, with a little bit of intelligence, Cao Gong's strategists are like clouds, there are many masters, and the general can surrender to sincerity, which is in line with the general trend." ”

Zhang Xiu pulled over another military general and introduced: "This is my favorite general, Hu Che'er."

Hu Che'er is a giant man, five big and three thick, can carry five hundred pounds, this kind of fierce man, Cao Cao likes it at first glance, and he took Hu Che'er's hand on the spot and said: "Wow, the general is so majestic, let me love it very much at a glance, and you and General Zhang Xiu will work together for me in the future."

Hu Che'er smiled innocently: "Okay!"

Cao Cao saw that this person seemed to be very loyal and honest, and his heart was even more happy, and he hurriedly said to the people behind him: "Take ten catties of gold to reward this general."

Hu Che'er was overjoyed, laughing happily, and Cao Cao felt that he was an honest person.

Everyone entered the city laughing, and in the palace, a banquet was being held to congratulate Cao Cao on his arrival.

It's just that when the banquet ended, Chu Feng found Cao Cao.

"My lord, don't have a pharmacist to discuss."

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao asked.

"Beware of someone getting in the way!" Chu Feng said directly.

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Something?" ”

"Zhang Xiu really wants to surrender, but if someone gets in the way at this time, we will be trapped in this Wan City at that time, and then a powerful Zhang Xiu will be able to completely destroy us." Chu Feng said.

"No, aren't you worrying too much? You also said that Zhang Xiunai is sincere, and I can see this, but if someone gets in the way, can it make big waves? Zhang Xiu will be in the scheme? Will I be tricked? Cao Cao couldn't help but say.

Chu Feng replied directly: "At this time, Yuan Shao has already unified the north, and there is a faint trend of going south, so at this time, it is natural to see that the lord can successfully subdue Xuzhou and stabilize the south."

The key is that the lord should not forget that there is also a great man in Xuchang. ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy all of a sudden, because when he wanted to attack Xuzhou with the whole army, it was Chu Feng who stepped forward to stop him, and this time, Chu Feng reminded him again.

He can always remind him when he is most proud, and he will not be untargeted, the key is that Chu Feng has already behaved very old at a young age, and he is also a very calm person.

After Chu Feng's reminder, Cao Cao also felt that if someone really wanted to get in the way and use conspiracy and tricks at this time, they might really be wiped out here.

Cao Cao nodded, "No, the last time, when you reminded Cao, it was when Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou with the whole army despite his anger, and now you remind Cao, I'm afraid it's because there is such a possibility, so let's move from the city to the camp today, there shouldn't be any problems in the camp." ”

Chu Feng couldn't directly remind Cao Cao of what would happen, so he had to nod, he had already done what he had to do, and when the time came, he could only act at the opportunity.

Then, house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and Cao Cao is that kind of person.

Something, still happening.

Cao Cao inadvertently met Zhang Ji's wife, Mrs. Zou, and just at a glance, Cao Cao couldn't forget this beautiful woman who exuded mature charm all over her body.

After inquiry, I learned that this was Zhang Ji's wife.

In this way, some people's goals have been achieved, a simple beauty plan, but Cao Cao suffered a big defeat.

As the saying goes, honesty is not deceiving.
