Ma Teng was still a little unconvinced, and continued to ask: "Is this statement of Yuan Zhi true?" It's just that I heard that Cao Cao is now fighting with Wu Ming to the death, will he really draw troops to crusade against Zhang Xiu? If he really attacked Zhang Xiu and Wu Ming attacked his rear, how could he make a difference? ”

"The lord's concerns are really good, but the lord doesn't know, that Wu Mingxin broke Shouchun, but he lost his troops and lost his vitality, so he gave up Shouchun and retreated to Hefei. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Now it's not that Wu Ming doesn't want to attack Cao, it's just that Wu Ming wants to attack Cao Cao's land, but there are four musts. ”

"Oh? What are the four must-haves? ”

"Wu Ming has always been loyal to the Han family in the name of the name, now Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, if he attacked Cao, he would inevitably bear the name of rebellion, and the name was not good, so this is not the time to take the initiative to attack Cao, this is also; Wu Ming after the battle of Shouchun, his vitality was greatly injured, and he should recuperate at this time, and it is not appropriate to move troops, which is also the second; Wu Ming has always boasted of loving the people like a son, and if he fights repeatedly, the people will definitely complain, and if he conquers Cao Cao again, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses. Cao Cao has a large number of troops, even if he divides his troops to attack Zhang Xiu, the rear will not be undefended, and the four are also, there are these four can't, so his subordinates think that Wu Ming will not dare to attack Cao Cao. ”

Ma Teng nodded, "Since this is the case, then according to Yuanzhi's words, when Cao Cao conquers Zhang Xiu, I will wait for the opportunity to move." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly reported outside: "My lord, Xu has a messenger." ”

Ma Teng looked at Yao Chong, and the two couldn't help but smile at the same time.

Cao Cao sent an envoy to come, naturally not to reminisce about the past. In the letter, Cao Cao asked Ma Teng to send troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and the opportunity that Yao Chong was waiting for was at this time.

However, he did not expect that Cao Cao's army had begun to mobilize as early as a month ago, and at this time it had been allocated to Hongnong County to confront Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao didn't really need Ma Teng's help, he contacted Ma Teng, naturally just to prevent him from rescuing Zhang Xiu.

Cao Cao's army was overwhelmed, and naturally Zhang Xiu was the most anxious.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly sent someone to invite his generals at this time to discuss countermeasures together.

"Lord, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since the thief dares to come, we will definitely not let him have a good time."

Everyone knows the current situation, Cao Cao led an army of 70,000, known as 100,000, but in Hongnong, Zhang Xiu only had about 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, not only that, Cao Cao's fierce generals were like clouds, and Zhang Xiu did not have a little war spirit in his heart at this time.

"Uncle, the Cao thief is powerful, I'm afraid I can't beat it! When the time comes, will it be too late to regret it? ”

The first person to advocate the war was naturally Zhang Yu, who was implanted as Zhang Ji's younger brother, that is, Zhang Xiu's uncle, and Zhang Xiu naturally did not dare to accept such a proposal in his heart.

"Lord, although the Cao thief is powerful, but he has Wu Ming's worries, if our army can hold on for a few months, the Cao thief will definitely retreat without a fight." Zhang Yu still argued on the basis of reason.

"But Cao Cao has fierce generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu under him, who is the enemy in our army? Uncle must not be rash, otherwise my family will not be able to save it! ”

Zhang Yu wanted to say anything more, Zhang Xiu waved his hand to stop him, then turned to look at Jia Xu, who had been silent, and asked worriedly: "Now that the matter is urgent, why didn't Wen He say a word to save him?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Since the lord already has a plan in his heart, why bother to ask again?" ”

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Where did Wen He say this?" Embroider the six gods at the moment, where is the idea? Ask for a text and teach me quickly! ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiu got up and bowed to Jia Xu, Jia Xu was suddenly a little flattered, and hurriedly got up and replied: "Don't be like this, the lord will torture his subordinates!" Cao's army is powerful, everyone in the world knows, there are only two ways, one is to fight, the other is to surrender, since the lord is unwilling to fight with, that is not to want to surrender Cao Cao, so that he does not lose his life without worrying about food and clothing! ”

As soon as Jia Xuyun finished speaking, Zhang Yu on the side stood up and roared angrily: "Jia Wenhe! What is the reason why thou art a conspirator, and yet thou shalt persuade the Lord to surrender? Don't you know what the word shame is? ”

Jia Xu shook his head, saluted Zhang Yu and said, "General Zhang is angry!" Whatever is said is the will of the lord, not the idea of a certain person. If General Zhang can persuade the lord to fight with Cao Cao, he will have his own defensive plan. ”

Zhang Xiu's face was displeased, "Uncle, don't say much, my mind has been decided, the people's livelihood in the land of Sanfu is withering, where can I be devastated by the war again." Cao Cao is now the prime minister of the Han family, I am originally a Han minister, and I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, why not? ”

Zhang Yu snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

"Wen He, don't be surprised, my uncle is a bit rash, just don't pay attention to it. It's just that today's plan, according to the meaning of Wenhe, can I protect my family if it is directly lowered? Will Cao Cao cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”

Zhang Xiu is still a little uneasy in his heart, he is really not confident in his heart now.

"Lord, although they are all surrenders, there are different ways to surrender."

Zhang Xiu let out an "oh" and hurriedly asked: "Please Wenhe for advice, embroidery wishes to hear its 'fall'!" ”

"Those who surrender are divided into surrendering without a fight, surrendering after a battle, and surrendering after a long battle. Surrender without a fight, Cao Cao must not take the lord as his intentions, regard the lord as an incompetent person, after he descends, Cao Cao will definitely humiliate the lord and bully him wantonly; After a long battle, there were casualties on both sides at that time, and the city was damaged, even if the lord surrendered again, Cao Cao must be extremely angry, and he could not tolerate the lord, and it was even possible to kill him quickly; Therefore, there is only an intermediate battle, and then the surrender is the surrender of the top. The war can not be broken, but Cao Cao does not dare to despise the lord, and then descend, Cao Cao must think that the lord knows the affairs of the times, at that time Cao Cao must treat the lord as a guest, this so-called war and then descend on the top of the surrender! ”

Jia Xu said a few words, which made Zhang Xiu suddenly admire the five bodies to the ground, and he thanked Jia Xu again: "If it is not Mr. Jinyu's good words, embroidery is almost a mistake!" ”

On the second day, Zhang Xiu personally led the army out of the city and confronted Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Why is Prime Minister Cao so active and invade my county? ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Zhang Xiupifu, Uncle Ru was originally a pawn of Dong thief, and he was in the company of Li Dao Guo Yan, but now that Dong thief has been destroyed, Li Guo and the second thief have been beheaded, you are unrepentant, occupy the land of the Han family, and do not know how to serve the court, which is really an unforgivable sin." Now that I have received the order of the Son of Heaven to conquer, you will not hurry up and be captured, let alone when! ”

Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "If you have the ability, let the horse come!" ”

Cao Cao pointed the horsewhip in his hand at Zhang Xiu, and shouted loudly: "Whoever goes out with me to take down this thief!" ”

At this time, Xiahou on the side responded and rushed towards Zhang Xiu.

Although Zhang Xiu knew that his soldiers were not as good as Cao Cao, he still had considerable confidence in the spear in his hand. I don't kill the nameless under the gun! ”

"Xiahoudun is also! Take your head! ”

After speaking, Xiahoudun's spear stabbed at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's spear stepped forward, and the two guns were intertwined like this, and the battle began. Although Zhang Xiu's strength is not amazing, but his marksmanship is really powerful, although Xiahoudun is unwilling to admit defeat, he still admires Zhang Xiu's marksmanship. The two exchanged guns and fought for twenty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Cao Cao nodded in the distance and said to the generals: "I never thought that this Zhang Ji has no ability, but his nephew is a fierce general." Generals, who will go out with me to help General Xiahou capture Zhang Xiu. ”

As soon as the words fell, a horse flew out and shouted loudly: "Zhang Liao is willing to go!" (To be continued.) )
