Jia Xu went out of the city to ask to see Cao Shuo, but Zhang Xiu had no intention of being accepted.

Knowing that Cao Shuo didn't believe him, Zhang Xiu sighed: "Just because of the battle in Wancheng at the beginning, Cao Zirong didn't believe me, and there was no way to ......."

"The general doesn't plan to defend the county?" Jia Xu asked.

"What else can I do?" Zhang Xiu said: "Cao Cao has returned to Xudu, and it is only Cao Zirong who besieges Yuxian. The Yuan family in Hebei had no intention of attacking Xudu, and Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou is now also a rat trap and cannot afford to divide his troops here......"

"It's not that there's no room for manoeuvre." Jia Xu said: "Cao Zirong is just angry about the general's sudden incident, listen to what he said, the general only needs to send a girl to him......"

"My sister-in-law has been married a long time ago, how can there be a sister-in-law for him?" Zhang Xiu said with annoyance.

Jia Xu didn't respond, but looked out of the city with a frown.

"There's only one way to do it now." Zhang Xiu said: "Fight to the death......"

"That's the least advisable thing to do." Jia Xu said: "The grain road has long been fused by Caozi, there is no strong reinforcement outside the county, the general is trapped in the lonely city, and sooner or later it will be broken by the enemy." ”

"Heaven is going to kill me, what can I do?" Zhang Xiu sighed.

"It's better to ......," Jia Xu's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have come up with an idea, and Zhang Xiu hurriedly asked, "Why don't you do it?" ”

"Cao Zirong is greedy for money and lustful, as long as the general gives him some benefits, he will definitely stop attacking." Jia Xu said: "The general's family business is all in Wancheng......"

"What does Wenhe mean ......," Zhang Xiu asked.

"Give him all the Wancheng family business, as for what will happen to the general in the future, he will make plans when he arrives in Xudu." Jia Xu said: "In case Cao Cao's power declines, the general can vote for another lord or start an incident on his own." If Cao Cao is strong, he will also have a place to live. In any case, it is much stronger than dying in battle. ”

"I'm afraid that Cao Zirong won't agree." Zhang Xiu hesitated and said, "If he agrees, he will have to go to Wancheng to move." Now I'm going to be defeated, and even if he doesn't agree, they will rob me of my property......"

"Why can't the general understand?" Jia Xu said: "If it is a gift from the general, Cao Zirong does not have to hand it over to the treasury, and if it is he encroaches, he will have to hand over most of it to the treasury when he returns to Xudu." With Cao Zirong's always possession of wealth and lust, how could he not understand such benefits? ”

"Is it unwritten and ......," Zhang Xiu asked hesitantly.

"If the general agrees, I will go out of the city to see Cao Zirong." Jia Xu replied.

"What should I do if he wants my soldiers?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Give it to him!" Jia Xu said without thinking about it: "The general keeps soldiers and horses, doesn't it make the Cao family doubt his sincerity?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "It seems that there is only this way." ”

Zhang Xiu let go, Jia Xu didn't delay any longer, hugged his fists and said, "Then I'll go out of the city to see Cao Zirong again." ”

Cao Shuo sat on a large rock and watched as the soldiers carried a fast boulder to the catapult.

"Childe!" Sima Yi came over and asked him, "When will the city be attacked?" ”

"There is no battle to fight, what city are you going to attack?" Cao Shuo grinned.

"Jia Xu returned to the city and didn't come back for a long time." Sima Yi said: "It's hard to say whether Zhang Xiu will stick to the county. ”

"If Zhang Xiu was a dare to defend to the death, he would not have joined the Cao family in the first place." Cao Shuo said: "Now he has no way out, and surrender is the only way." ”

"I heard that Gongzi asked Zhang Xiu for a sister." Sima Yi said: "But Zhang Xiu's sister seems to be not young, and she has already ......married."

"What do I want his sister for?" Cao Shuo said: "Zhang Xiu's appearance is not very attractive, and his sister-in-law should not be a woman with a national beauty." I'm very picky about women. ”

Sima Yi didn't say anything.

The women around Cao Shuo are indeed all beautiful and fragrant.

He couldn't see ordinary women at all.

When he heard from Cai Ji that Cao Shuo wanted Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law, he had some doubts in his heart.

However, what he thought of was that Cao Shuo didn't plan to leave a way out for Zhang Xiu, and he was going to die in the county.

But in what Cao Shuo said this time, he revealed that he would give Zhang Xiu a chance to surrender......

What Cao Shuo wanted to do, Sima Yi was also a little confused.

"Zhang Xiu has been entrenched in Wancheng for so many years, how much money do you say his family has?" Cao Shuo suddenly blinked his eyes twice, and asked Sima Yi in a sly manner.

Sima Yi was stunned.

Cao Shuo asked, and he understood.

What the second son wants is not the woman of Zhang Xiu's family, but the family business he has accumulated......

"Son, Zhang Xiu has been entrenched in Wancheng for many years, and there must be a lot of family business." Sima Yi said: "The last time our army broke through Wancheng, we didn't find too much wealth from his house......"

"He's hiding." Without waiting for Sima Yi to say, Cao Shuo said: "If he is willing to give me everything obediently, I won't fight in Yuxian." ”

"If you get the wealth, isn't the son going to hand it over to the treasury?" Sima Yi said: "I can't get much benefit, why should the son remember those ......"

"Who said I was going to hand it over to the treasury?" Cao Shuo glared: "It's not a victory, it's Zhang Xiu who is willing to give it to me, that is, a private gift, even if my father knows, he can't ask me, let alone the treasury?" ”

Sima Yi was stunned.

That seems to be the case.

The things that were given in private were not trophies in the first place, and of course Cao Shuo did not need to be handed over to the treasury.

"Childe thinks well, the key is that Zhang Xiuken refuses to give it?" Sima Yi said.

"He has to give if he is willing, and he has to give if he is not." Cao Shuo said: "It depends on whether he wants money or death!" ”

"Other people spend a lot of money and food in wars, if Zhang Xiu is really willing to give the benefits to Gongzi, this time Gongzi will make a lot of money." Sima Yi said.

"What are you fighting for?" Cao Shuo asked Sima Yi.

was stunned by his question, Sima Yi didn't know how to respond.

"Whenever there is a war, it is nothing more than to fight for territory, for wealth, and for women." Cao Shuo said: "We are about to win, the territory belongs to the Cao family, and the Cao family is the father in charge, so there must be nothing to do with me." As for women, how many more women than men have died in battles over the years? Breaking through the enemy city, the soldiers asked for women and didn't they pick them at random? The key lies in the word "money"! ”

What Cao Shuo said, Sima Yi had long understood.

But he didn't interrupt.

When the master has some performance, the most important thing you should do as a staff member is to listen or occasionally ask one or two seemingly stupid questions to show the master's intelligence.

"It costs money to fight a war, it costs money to raise soldiers, what do you do without money?" Cao Shuo seemed to be very helpless and said: "I always think about getting benefits from others, not because I love money, but because I am too poor." If I don't get any more benefits, what will I use to raise soldiers and what will I use to train elites? ”

"Childe, Jia Xu is here." As he was talking, Cai Ji ran over to report.
