Cao Cao had already returned to the barracks, thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

What I didn't expect was that at this time, someone came with Mrs. Zou and said that it was sent by Zhang Xiu, so that he could relieve his fatigue.

If it weren't for the preparation in advance and the investigation, Cao Cao would have really fallen for the scheme.

In order to make the secret enemy think that he was really tricked, Cao Cao came up with a plan and left Mrs. Zou behind.

It's just that although Cao Cao left Mrs. Zou behind, he did not forcibly occupy it, but after explaining the reason to Mrs. Zou, he arranged Mrs. Zou in the camp next to him.

At this time, there was not even a single woman in the barracks, they were all big men, if they didn't care about it, it would definitely damage Mrs. Zou's reputation, which was also where Cao Cao got it, because he was originally a more delicate person.

And those people with Mrs. Zou were also followed by Cao Cao, but they didn't see the master behind the scenes.

The people brought by Zhang Xiu didn't know who that person was, but they were all dressed in black, and they were given a lot of money to let them do it.

This is really an unsolvable conspiracy, although Cao Cao said that he didn't look down on such a conspiracy, and what he said about ghosts and tricks, in fact, it was just self-deception.

In fact, he was still afraid for a while, because Mrs. Zou was indeed beautiful and unparalleled, which made him have an impulse, if he didn't know Mrs. Zou's identity, he was afraid that he would really do it.

When the time comes to face Zhang Xiu, even if it is said that this is the enemy's conspiracy, Zhang Xiu will not believe it.

After all, he Cao Cao had already done such a thing, and the explanation would be pale.

This night, Cao Cao didn't sleep well, because the hidden enemy in the dark has not been found yet, and he doesn't know who it is.

I don't know what conspiracy he will have next, don't attack Xuzhou at that time, but will be defeated by Lu Bu.

"To say how I found out that there would be an accident in this is actually a guess, because now Yuan Shao has pacified the north.

There must be time to deal with us, and if we subdue Zhang Xiu, we will increase our strength, and he will definitely not want to see it.

And it's not just Yuan Shao, but also Xu Du, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Lu Bu in Xuzhou and others.

At that time, the lord just took such a little person to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender, which seemed to show sincerity, so that Zhang Xiu let down his guard and surrender sincerely.

But it is precisely because of this that after I entered the city, I suddenly felt that if at this time, someone secretly borrowed a knife to kill people, with Zhang Xiu's current strength, it would be difficult for us to stop it.

After all, Zhang Xiu was taught by the master, and a silver spear is a rare opponent in the world.

Coupled with an old Mr. Jia, he is almost invincible, and we are not much defenseless, and we can be caught off guard.

In order to prevent this from happening, I immediately reminded the lord to be careful, and later interceded with Mr. Jia. ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he said with praise: "It's amazing, the sense of crisis is so strong, it's no wonder that the last time Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, you were able to remind you in time."

It seems that we were still carried away by a Zhang Xiu's surrender, and almost fell for the enemy's conspiracy. ”

If it was once or twice, it might be considered a little witty, but Chu Feng's ability performance was not once or twice.

Now that this kind of thing has happened, Chu Feng can be regarded as being absolutely valued and trusted by Cao Cao, a capable person, and a loyal assistant to him, if such a person is not reused, who else will he reuse?

Successfully subdued Zhang Xiu, although there was a little accident, but under Chu Feng's reminder, the problem was not very big.

With the addition of Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and others, Cao Cao's camp can be regarded as a higher level.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun requested to be stationed here to protect Cao Cao's rear because of Lu Bu's relationship, not wanting to face their former masters head-on.

Cao Cao also agreed, and he was still more tolerant of such loyal subordinates.

And this time, in order to be able to get the first credit after Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu took the attack on Lu Bu as a vote.

And Cao Cao also readily agreed, let Zhang Xiufang be the vanguard general, and at the same time, let Xu Huang and Cheng Yu follow, as for Jia Xu, he has been promoted to one of the military advisors and stayed by Cao Cao's side.

Chu Feng has now also been promoted, and has become one of the several strategists around Cao Cao, with the power to admonish.

"Now that we have Wancheng as a barrier, we will have an extra guarantee, and the chances of attacking Xuzhou will also increase, but Cao is still worried.

Because Yuan Shao in the north now has a tendency to go south, and if he goes south, the first stop will definitely be us. ”

Cao Cao's worries are not unreasonable, because in history, Cao Cao not only experienced Zhang Xiu's rebellion, but also had friction in the north after that.

By the time Cao Cao calmed down the small friction in the north, it had been another year.

And now, Cao Cao is not ready to start a war with Yuan Shao, because once the war starts, Yanzhou is likely to face the possibility of being attacked from both sides.

Guo Jia said on the side: "My lord, now that we have gone south, only by continuing to befriend Yuan Shao can we successfully start a war in the south."

"Well, isn't it just money, I, Cao Cao, still gave it, and when the time comes, when the south is pacified, his Yuan Shao's territory will be mine sooner or later.

At that time, the money will come back again, and this matter will be written to Wen Ruo, so that he can continue to stabilize those people in the north! ”

Cao Cao said very generously, now in order to stabilize the surrounding forces and achieve the goal of unifying the north, the things that can be solved with money will be directly smashed with money, and the last thing Cao Cao lacks is money.

No matter what era it is, spies exist, Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, reuses people from the family, and disdains the children of the poor family.

It is precisely because of this that he will fail, because the people of the family focus on profit, not loyalty.

Zhang Xiu took his elite soldiers and strong generals plus Cao Cao's supplementary army, a total of 10,000 people, and directly connected the three cities, starting the first battle between Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

In several other places, there were also Cao Cao's men and horses attacking the city and plundering the land, and for a time, Xuzhou was full of fireworks.

Liu Bei, who was in Yanzhou, took advantage of Cao Cao's absence to ask Xun Yu to leave, wanting to take people to stabilize the border of Yanzhou.

In fact, it was just to escape, because he was worried that Cao Cao would become stronger and stronger, and when the time came, he would directly control him and attract his two right-hand men, which would outweigh the losses.

Xun Yu was a person loyal to the Han Dynasty, and if it weren't for the situation, he might have been the most loyal Hanchen of the Han Dynasty.

So Xun Yu directly let Liu Bei go and gave Liu Bei some soldiers, which also gave Cao Cao a powerful enemy.
