In the days when Liu He occupied Chang'an and tried to stabilize the situation, Hongnong's battle situation also made a breakthrough, Cao Cao led his army to fight against Zhang Ji, three battles and three victories, and the last battle was under the advice of the strategist Xun Yu, taking the strategy of arrogance, luring Zhang Ji to fight, and luring Zhang Ji step by step into the ambush circle laid in advance, as a result, Cao Cao gave an order, Cao Jun fired ten thousand crossbows together, shooting countless soldiers under Zhang Ji's command, Zhang Ji's army was caught off guard, and suddenly suffered a surprise attack, and suddenly the formation was chaotic, and the soldiers fled one after another. There were also many soldiers who chose to surrender to Cao Cao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji led the army to forcibly break through, but he didn't expect that seeing that the breakthrough was successful, Zhang Ji was shot in the throat by Cao Cao's fierce general Xiahou Yuan, turned over and fell off his horse, and died on the spot!

Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiuqiang endured the grief in his heart, took over the army, and then led the army to continue to break through. However, after they came to Huayin, they were stubbornly blocked by Liu He's generals Liao Hua and Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu led the army to fight for a day and a night, but was never able to break through, seeing Cao Cao's army also chased up from behind, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to decide to lead the crowd to surrender to Liu He.

"My lord, do we really choose to surrender?" A general who looked very fierce looked at Zhang Xiu and said softly: "If you really want to count it, this Liu He can also be regarded as the enemy of the old general, because if he hadn't united with Cao Cao's old thief, how could the old thief attack Hongnong, and how could the old general die?" ”

"Hu Che'er, I know what you mean, but you should also know that we don't have a choice at all in the current situation, besides, in fact, we can't completely blame Liu Yuanjun for this matter, after all, Li Dao and Guo Yan's actions are indeed too much, even I can't see it, you also know that there is a rare drought in the Guanzhong area this year, not only the people have no food, even our Xiliang army has begun to run out of food, the first few days the Son of Heaven said that he would send people to disaster relief, but I heard my uncle say, These two people were ready to send troops to rob the food that the Son of Heaven sent people to relieve the disaster, but fortunately, in addition to the changes in Chang'an, the Son of Heaven has not had time to go to the disaster relief, and Li Dao and Guo Yan have not had time to rob, otherwise, wouldn't this be another disaster for the people? ”

Zhang Xiu sighed, and then continued: "Actually, I have long persuaded my uncle not to get too close to Li Guo and the two thieves, but my uncle did not listen to him because of his fellow villagers, I had some friendship with Mr. Jia Wenhe in private, and once asked him to estimate whether Li Dao Guo Yan could last long, Mr. Wenhe also said that they were so arrogant that they would not survive for long, and then I asked Mr. Wenhe to give him a way to save his life, so I persuaded my uncle to guard Hongnong and avoid right and wrong, but this is right and wrong after all. Therefore, now that my uncle is dead, I don't blame Liu Yuanjun, if I want to complain, I will blame Cao Cao, and blame Xiahou Yuan, the general under his command, one day, I will kill Xiahou Yuan to avenge my uncle! And looking at the world, apart from Liu Yuanjun, who else do you think has the strength to deal with Cao Cao? ”

"That doesn't have to be Liu He, right? At the very least, we can choose Yuan Shao in Hebei, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu in Runan and others. Hu Che'er was a little unconvinced and argued.

But seeing Hu Che'er smiled faintly: "These people have long been seen through by Mr. Wenhe, Yuan Shao is a scheming person, not a big thing, Yuan Shu is not as good as his brother, and Liu Biao is just a gatekeeper, it is not enough to say, and in addition to these people, do you say that there is only Liu Yuanjun?" ”

"That's right, but is Liu Lingjun willing to accept us? Also, I would like to ask, does the lord really want to join Liu He, or is he just temporarily sheltering in his army, and then waiting for another opportunity to have other plans? Hu Che'er asked this question more carefully, after all, this matter is also related to his future.

saw Zhang Xiu smile bitterly: "Hu Che'er, how do you say I compare with my uncle?" ”

Hu Che'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The last general will tell the truth, if you talk about martial arts, the lord is stronger than the old general, but if you talk about the ability to command the army, I am afraid that the lord will be slightly inferior." ”

"Hehe, you're putting gold on my face, what do you mean to be slightly inferior? I'm a lot worse than my uncle, I still have this self-knowledge, you just think about it, with a character like my uncle, I can't occupy a place in this troubled world, I don't have to think about it, so ah, I'm still honestly living my life, if Liu Yuanjun can rest assured that I can use me, then I will be a general, for him to fight in all directions, if I don't feel at ease, then I will ask for an idle job, and spend the rest of my life in peace. ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head slowly and sighed softly.

Hu Che'er seemed to have made some decision, and suddenly said: "If Liu He, no, Liu Yuanjun can use you with confidence, then I will also dedicate my skills to him, but if Liu Yuanjun can't use you, I won't do it, accompany you to nag at home, and live the second half of my life plainly." ”

"Hey, Hu Che'er, why are you bothered? Your martial arts are no less than mine, and you don't have the past of the Xiliang Army, it is not impossible to get a place in Liu Yuanjun's army, but you want to follow me, isn't this hurting you? ”

"No, to be honest, this is also to see if Liu Yuanjun can treat people sincerely, if he is really a worthy figure, I naturally have nothing to say, work hard for him, but if he can't use you, then he may not be able to use me, so I don't need to work hard for him at all, I expect to be disgusted by then, it is better to continue our friendship." Hu Che'er shook his head and said softly.

"That's what you're saying, then we'll see."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and then stopped talking, because at this time, Zhang Xiu had already sent someone to see Liao Hua with a letter, and now he was waiting for Liao Hua's news.

At this time, I saw the messenger return with the letter, and said loudly: "My lord, General Liao Hua has approved our submission, and offered to personally come outside the camp to meet us and join them, and now General Liao Hua is estimated to be almost there." ”

"Oh? So fast? Let's go, Hu Che'er, quickly arrange manpower, and we will go out of the camp together to welcome the arrival of General Liao Hua. Hearing that Liao Hua attached so much importance to this matter, Zhang Xiu felt a glimmer of hope, a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said.

"No, the last general will arrange this, hehe, it seems that we will not be useless at least, otherwise Liao Hua will not come to welcome us into the camp in person." Of course, Hu Che'er also hoped that he could have a brighter future, so with a smile on his face, he hurriedly arranged for the relevant matters to welcome Liao Hua.
