It is said that Zhang Xiu is the nephew of the hussar general Zhang Ji, who is good at making a tiger-headed golden gun, and is the eldest disciple of the famous spearman Tong Yuan, and Zhang Ren and Zhao Yunnai are brothers, known as the "Northland Gun King". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Bian Zhang and Han Sui were in rebellion in Liangzhou, Jincheng's Lu Sheng attacked and killed Liu Jun, the assassin of Yizhou.

And Zhang Xiu was a county official at the time, and secretly stared at Lu Sheng, and soon found an opportunity to assassinate Lu Sheng.

The people of this county think that he is very righteous, so Zhang Xiu recruited a group of teenagers at the instigation of others and became a local hero.

In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu because of the serial scheme set up by Wang Yun, and Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others attacked Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Xiu followed his uncle Zhang Ji all the way, rose to the rank of general Jianzhong with military merits, and was named Xuanwei Hou by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Previously, Zhang Ji had no choice but to bring troops from Guanzhong into the border of Jingzhou due to the lack of food in the army, and fought with Liu Biao to rob him of the grain and grass in the city.

During the attack on the city, Zhang Ji was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow and died.

After hearing the news of his uncle's death, Zhang Xiu didn't have time to grieve, so he took over the remnants of Zhang Ji and withdrew his troops from the city.

After the officials in Jingzhou heard the news that Zhang Ji was dead and Zhang Xiu took over the remnants of the army and retreated, they all congratulated Liu Biao.

Liu Biao heard the congratulations of the comer, his face sank, he waved his hand at everyone, and said: "That Zhang Ji came at the end of the road, but I am so rude as the master, and now Zhang Ji is dead, this is not my intention, so I am only condoled and not congratulated!" ”

After that, Liu Biao sent people to recruit the remnants of Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, and after hearing the news, they were overjoyed and all surrendered to Liu Biao's account.

Zhang Xiu led the remnants of the army back and asked Jia Xu for his plan.

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu, who was extremely respectful, and sighed: "Now that the young general is facing the end of the road, why not surrender to Liu Biao's account first." ”

"The words of the gentleman are kind!" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu thought about it slightly, and then obeyed Jia Xu's arrangement and surrendered to Liu Biao.

Zhang Xiu clearly knew that Jia Xu was his uncle's preparation in order to allow him to survive in the troubled times after his death, so Zhang Xiu has always been extremely respectful to Jia Xu and obedient.

Liu Biao accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender, because he thought of the Son of Heaven who was trapped in Xudu, so he arranged for Zhang Xiu to garrison troops in Wancheng, ready to wait for an opportunity to capture Xudu and welcome the Son of Heaven.

Since then, Zhang Xiu has become Liu Biao's vassal force in the north, defending him against foreign enemies, and at the same time keeping an eye on Xu Du.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he raised 150,000 troops and personally led his troops to recruit Zhang Xiu, who was stationed in Wancheng.

The army marched in three ways, with Xiahoudun as the vanguard, and when Cao Cao's military horses rushed to the water, they set up camp.

Jia Xu looked at the camp where Cao Cao's army was stationed on the other side of the river, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

He clearly knew that it was simply impossible to resist Cao Cao's army with the soldiers and horses in Zhang Xiu's hands.

It's just that Zhang Xiu has always treated him respectfully, so that Jia Xu, who has always put himself first, can't bear to abandon him.

"Jia Xu, Jia Xu, what's wrong with you, who have always put yourself first, this is simply asking for trouble for yourself!"

muttered to himself softly, Jia Xu sighed lightly and walked in the direction where Zhang Xiu was.

Looking at Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu slowly persuaded him: "Young General, Cao Cao's army is huge at this moment, and he can't be the enemy, so it's better to surrender!" ”

Zhang Xiu frowned, bowed to Jia Xu, and asked: "Mr. taught me to surrender to Liu Biao before, and now he asked me to surrender to Cao Cao, how does this make the world think of me?" ”

"What's more, how can Cao Cao trust me!"

Jia Xu stroked the beard on his chin and said to him: "Young General, people should think about themselves in their lives, not act in the eyes of the world!" ”

"In order to protect yourself, what does it matter if you surrender!"

"You don't see, Wen Hou didn't also join Ding Yuan first, and then Dong Xiang. If it weren't for Wen Hou dedicating Ding Yuan's head to Dong Xiang and ruining his reputation, how could the world be so scolded! ”

"As for Cao Cao's trust in the young general, he has his own reputation for speaking for the young general!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully and found that it was really as Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu's infamy was not because he had two masters, but because he killed his father.

Although Ding Yuan is just Lu Bu's father-in-law, he is also a father.

Changing the court by killing his father, if the people of the world do not spit hard, it will be a strange thing.

nodded, Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's words, and took Jia Xu as an envoy to Cao Cao's camp to secretly communicate with the song.

Cao Cao, who heard the news, laughed when he saw Jia Xu, and then said: "Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I don't want to see it today!" ”

Jia Xu bowed to Cao Cao: "I've seen Cao Sikong!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what Wen He came here for?" ”

"I'm here to find a way out for the major general!" Jia Xu said slowly to Cao Cao, "Cao Sikong's army is coming, how can the young general stop it, I am willing to take refuge in Sikong's account!" ”

Listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "If this is the case, Wen He doesn't have to say it!" ”

"That Zhang Xiu surrendered to Liu Biao before, and today he surrendered to me Cao Cao, so who should he surrender to tomorrow?"

"Is it really stupid for me to be Cao Mengde?"

Looking at Jia Xu, a sneer appeared at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth: "The so-called loyal ministers are not the two masters, how can I be trusted to change the people who change the court so frequently!" ”

"Who can guarantee that Zhang Xiu will not be like Lu Bu, and will take my Cao Cao's head and surrender to others at that time!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the expression on Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, shook his head, and retorted: "Sikong is very good! ”

"The major general has surrendered to Liu Biao, but because of the lack of food and grass in the army, for the sake of the soldiers under his command, he is just aggrieved to send people under the fence!"

"If the behavior of the major general is also understood by Sikong as surrender, then did Liu Bei, who had been living in Xiaopei before, surrender to Lu Bu?"

"At this moment, Liu Bei ran to Sikong's tent again, can it be said that Liu Bei surrendered to Sikong?"

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.

Sighing lightly, Cao Cao shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "Wenhe's sophistry is really sharp!" ”

Seeing that Jia Xu was dealing with it like a stream, Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but feel like a talent, and he wanted to be a strategist.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao and shook his head: "In the past, he offended the world from Li Dao, but now he is from Zhang Xiu, he obeys his words and can't bear to abandon it!" ”

After the words were finished, he said goodbye to Cao Cao.

The next day, Jia Xu brought Zhang Xiu to see Cao Cao, only to see that Cao Cao treated him very well.

After Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender, he led his troops into Wancheng, and the rest of the troops were stationed outside the city, and the fences of each camp were connected together for more than ten miles......
