Zhang Xiu received Zhang Xian's report, and was immediately angry to shoot a few cases, "Zhang Xian mistook me!" ”

Hu Che'er said with a grin: "General, teach me to lead people to find a place to ambush, and when Cao Cao arrives, kill him in one fell swoop, and kill him personally on his back!" ”

Zhang Xiu waved his hand and asked Hu Che'er to sit down, "Where is there any place near Wancheng that can be ambushed?" If there were, I wouldn't have sent Zhang to defend the water first. ”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Xu on the side and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, I don't know what I should do next?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Xiu, "How does the general think he compares to Cao Cao?" ”

Zhang Xiu was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as him!" ”

Jia Xu said: "Since the general feels that he is inferior to Cao Cao, now Cao Cao controls Yan and Henan Prefectures, and serves the Son of Heaven, and his power is unmatched for a while; And with heavy troops in hand, assisted by good generals and famous ministers, there is only Yuan Shao who is on the right in the world. And the general is trapped in Wancheng, if there is a few years, there should be something to do, but now Cao Cao is coming, the generals are outnumbered, and Liu is not in harmony with the surface, if the general fights with Cao Cao, I am afraid it is not his opponent. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he had to admit that Jia Xu was right, and he asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?" ”

Jia Xu asked, "It depends on how the general chooses?" If you want to be quick for a while, you should fight with Cao Cao and fight each other. If the general wants to protect himself and keep his military power, then surrender the city. ”

"Surrender?" As soon as Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu's words, her brows furrowed.

Hu Che'er immediately shouted: "How can this be? ”

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "General, Cao Cao is now powerful, and Wancheng is too close to Xuchang, so he will wait for me and wait soon." If the general does not surrender, there is no chance of sparing this battle. ”

Zhang Xiu was also extremely struggling in his heart, and he asked: "If I surrender, can I still hold military power?" ”

Jia Xu laughed: "The general's command is all Yongliang people, and they can't be led by others." Moreover, Cao Cao will have a battle with Yuan Shao sooner or later, and Cao Cao will not waste time on this matter. It is more prudent to control the generals than to control the army. ”

Zhang Xiu was silent, thought for a long time, and then said: "Since this is the case, then it will fall!" ”

Zhang Yi withdrew to Wancheng with Zhang Xian, and as soon as he entered the city, he heard Zhang Xiu descend. He also felt a moment of inexplicability. If you want to surrender, what are we doing with these people running for nothing? How can you become a hero if you are so capricious? No wonder it was played by the Cao family in the future!

Zhang Xian heard that Zhang Xiu had surrendered, so he disbanded the army and went to see Zhang Xiu himself.

Zhang Yi returned home and began to prepare. Zhang Xiu's surrender has long been recorded in history, and he, a butterfly, has not yet been able to set off a storm, so he can't tamper with history at all, so he started to prepare early. He needs the heads of Dian Wei, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin are easy to kill, but Dian Wei, the murderer, is a little difficult to handle.

So while Zhang Yi was training, he made a crossbow!

The crossbow was already well developed in the Warring States period, but it was difficult to equip the crossbow because of its difficulty in making and complex craftsmanship. Now, even Cao Cao didn't have crossbowmen, only Yuan Shao could equip them with crossbowmen and form a Xiandeng battalion. Other princes, that is, after Zhuge Liang invented the Zhuge crossbow, there were more famous crossbow troops.

Zhang Yi made a strong crossbow by himself, and although he didn't study very well when he went to school, there was no problem with simple mathematical calculations. Making a crossbow requires only some simple mathematical calculations, such as calculating distances by angles and then carving calipers; Then there is the problem of pulleys. Although the current process can't make a very good pulley, it can be used a few times, and he only needs to shoot a few arrows. With his current archery skills, he believed that he could kill Dian Wei.

Zhang Yi admired Dian Wei's personality very much, but for the sake of the great cause in the future, he could only kill the killer.

Zhang Xiu's table was sent to Cao Cao's camp, and after Cao Cao got the table, he laughed: "This embroidery is interesting, I know that I can't resist my edge, so I surrendered early!" ”

"Lord, beware of deception!" Cautious Yu Ban said.

"Don't worry!" Cao Cao said disapprerovingly: "This embroidery is a smart person, and he knows it from his acceptance of Liu Biao's wooing." Now I can give him greater good, and he will surely surrender sincerely. ”

Cao Ang asked, "Father, can such a capricious person be loyal to the ground?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and taught Cao Ang: "Everyone in this world lives for profit. Zixuan, you have to remember. There is no absolute loyalty, and the reason why people are loyal is because the conditions that make him unfaithful are not enough! Don't look at my father's current control of the court, but secretly I don't know how many people are staring at the position of my father anymore! The Father has always guarded against them, otherwise he would not know when he would be betrayed. ”

Cao Ang was taught: "The child remembers." If you want Zhang Xiu not to betray, then you have to give him more benefits, and the cost of his betrayal will increase. ”

Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled, "Ziyu, this is a comprehension!" ”

Three days later, Cao Cao's army arrived outside Wancheng, Zhang Xiu opened the city gate, let Cao's army enter the city, and then personally sent the official seal to Cao Cao, and said with an extremely respectful attitude: "The criminal minister greets Sikong!" ”

Cao Cao's position at this time was Sikong, and he had just been canonized. Zhang Xiu directly called him Sikong, and said what Cao Cao was proud of.

Cao Cao laughed and picked up Zhang Xiu and said: "Where did the general say, this is the general's return to the imperial court!" ”

However, in silence, Cao Cao still put away Zhang Xiu's official seal, he pulled Zhang Xiu into the city, and said: "The land of Wancheng is the land of Guangwu Ancestor, the general wants to take me to take a good look at the scenery of Wancheng!" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled embarrassedly: "Be a companion!" ”

Zhang Xiu's heart was very dissatisfied, didn't Jia Xu say that Cao Cao would retain his military power? Why did you receive his official seal all of a sudden? How can he command the army without an official seal?

Zhang Xiu poured out his mansion and gave it to Cao Cao to live in, and Cao Jun had already taken over the city defense of Wancheng, and the general trend had been decided. Cao Cao invited Zhang Xiu to a banquet and said: "The general is now in the imperial court, and we are our own people, so let's take back General Yin!" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he said happily: "Thank you Cao Gong!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiu's appearance quietly, but he was not very happy in his heart, you are too urgent, right?

However, Cao Cao did not say it, but continued to invite Zhang Xiu to drink, and he had to observe Zhang Xiu for a while, if Zhang Xiu really surrendered, then this matter would be nothing. If Zhang Xiu didn't surrender sincerely, then he would be a killer!
