Chapter 60 - Seek Yourself First and Then Others

In the city of Anhui, after Zhang Xiu heard the news of Cao Cao's attack with an army of 50,000, he was shocked, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately sent someone to invite Jia Xu over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Jia Xu came to the official office of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu saluted and said: "Mr. Jia, now that Cao Thief has led an army of 50,000 to attack, and my Wancheng garrison is only 8,000, how can this be good?" ”

After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Jia Xu's heart was also shocked, and his hands inadvertently trembled.

Brushing the beard on his chin with his hand, Jia Xu couldn't help frowning, and after pondering for a while, he said to Zhang Xiu: "At this moment, Cao's army is strong, and the general can surrender Cao Cao again!" ”

For Jia Xu, it is more important to save his life at this moment!

As for the so-called festival, Jia Xu just wanted to say, what is it, can you eat it?

Everyone knows how with 8,000 men can stop an army of 50,000.

Even if Cao Cao's army of 50,000 stood there and let you cut it at will, it would take a long time to cut and kill.

It's just that after hearing what Jia Xu said, Zhang Xiu didn't readily agree as Jia Xu thought.

Thinking of the death of his uncle and sister-in-law that day, Zhang Xiu gritted her teeth with hatred, but slapped the table case heavily, glared at Jia Xu angrily and said: "Sir's words are wrong, I and the Cao thief are endless, how can I descend!" ”

"Sir, please don't say anything like that again!"

Jia Xu listened to what Zhang Xiu said, his eyes couldn't help but half-narrow, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it was not shown in front of Zhang Xiu's eyes.

At least on the surface, Jia Xu still saluted Zhang Xiu respectfully, and said to him: "Since the general is unwilling to surrender to Cao, then the general has only one way to go!" ”

Zhang Xiu also knew that what he said just now was too heavy, and seeing that Jia Xu was not displeased on his face, there was also a trace of apology in his heart, and he bowed to Jia Xu and said, "I don't know what the path Mr. said is?" ”

After a slight sigh, Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu: "The general can write a letter to Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, stating his interests and highlighting the importance of the Wancheng he occupies, and then he can only stick to it and wait for help, praying that Liu Jingsheng can see that once Wancheng is lost, Cao Cao will be able to use Wancheng as a pedal to attack Jingzhou!" ”

After hearing Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu thought for a while and nodded: "Then trouble Mr. Handwriting!" ”

Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu's words, and after seeing Zhang Xiu nodding his head, he sighed secretly, and after typing the draft in his heart, he picked up the pen and began to write on the brocade silk.

Half an hour later, Jia Xu put down the pen in his hand, picked up the brocade silk, blew the ink on it that had not yet dried with his mouth, and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu took the brocade book handed over by Jia Xu and looked at it carefully.

Jia Xu saw that Zhang Xiu's attention was on the brocade book at this time, his brows furrowed slightly, and he saluted Zhang Xiu and confessed his guilt, and was about to leave.

Hearing Jia Xu's accusation, Zhang Xiu glanced at Jia Xu, and after muttering for a while, he waved his hand at him, which was regarded as agreeing to Jia Xu's request to retire.

After getting Zhang Xiu's promise, although Jia Xu was happy in his heart, his face was not visible, and he turned around and left.

After Jia Xu left, Zhang Xiu put down the brocade book in his hand, glanced at the direction where Jia Xu left, frowned involuntarily, and whispered to himself: "Sir, don't let me down!" ”

Then Zhang Xiu put away the brocade book and ordered it to be sent to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Jia Xu, who returned to his home, sat on the couch in the study dejectedly, and at the same time ordered the subordinates in the family to close the door and thank the guests, and no one was allowed to enter the study without his instructions.

Thinking of what Zhang Xiu said about fighting with Cao Cao endlessly, Jia Xu's body just couldn't stop trembling, and bursts of cold sweat broke out on his body.

Jia Xu clearly understood that if Zhang Xiu was defeated against Cao Cao, as a plan twice, he ordered Cao Cao to lose the general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang, and then made Cao Cao lose the army himself, it would definitely not end well.

At that time, it will be an unattainable luxury to die a happy death.

However, what Jia Xu is most afraid of is his own death, he has always paid attention to planning first, and then seeking people, how can he be willing to let himself fall into the point where he can't even beg for death.

In order to save his life, after Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu fooled Li Dao and Guo Yan into attacking Chang'an, forced Wang Yun to death, and tore off the last trace of dignity of the emperor of the Han family, and was named a poisoner by the people of the world.

Everyone in the world says that Jia Xu is a poisoner who brings disaster to the country and the people, but only Jia Xu knows in his heart that he just wants to save his life.

As for these stigmaties, he didn't care about them when he chose to save his life.

It's just that at this moment, everyone can see that even if Zhang Xiu can resist Cao Cao's army by relying on the high city of Wancheng, there are only 8,000 guards, how long can he resist?

The only way to save your life is to surrender to Cao Cao.

Jia Xu could see that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were destined to have a battle at this moment, and if they wanted to attack Wancheng, the conquest of Zhang Xiu was to get rid of the troubles first.

If Zhang Xiu chose to surrender the city at the moment of the arrival of his army, then Cao Cao would definitely not kill him in public for the sake of stabilizing the rear, even if there was an undying hatred between the two.

At the same time, it can also let people all over the world see his Cao Cao's mind.

For the sake of talents, even their own killers can be included in the command, are you afraid that there will be no talents from all over the world to vote in the future?

And according to Cao Cao's character, since he chose not to kill at the beginning, he will not be killed in the future, but it is very likely that Cao Cao will be idle, and Zhang Xiu will not be allowed to participate in political affairs, nor will he be allowed to be in charge of the army.

As for Jia Xu himself, he should be taken seriously by Cao Cao and enter Cao Cao's circle of advisers.

After all, although the name of the poisoner is notorious, it is also the recognition of his wisdom by the people of the world.

How could a hero like Cao Cao abandon it!

It's just that Jia Xu's suggestion to surrender was blocked by Zhang Xiu's sentence that he wanted to fight Cao Cao endlessly, which made Jia Xu have to think about his own way out.

Jia Xu clearly knows that once the two armies intersect, it will really be endless!

After thinking about it for a long time, a touch of gloom appeared in Jia Xu's eyes, and he slowly muttered to himself: "Zhang Xiu, since you can't let me save my life, but you want to push me into a dangerous situation where I am worried about my life, then don't blame me!" ”

"As for your uncle's affection for me back then, to this day, I can be regarded as paying it off!"
