Chapter 436: Buying People's Hearts
Cao's army attacked the city, and Zhang Xiu did not leave the city for many days.
And all his attendants were with him in the days of the city.
Many days the room was uninhabited, and a thick layer of dust fell.
Entering the room, Cao Shuo glanced at the dusty low table.
didn't ask his entourage to wipe it, Zhang Xiu personally ran over and helped him wipe the table.
"Childe, wipe it clean!" Wiping the table, Zhang Xiu stood aside and said with sincere fear.
"It doesn't matter if you sit or not." Cao Shuo said: "What I care about is the things that the general promised. ”
"I'll take my son there early tomorrow morning." Zhang Xiu responded.
"No need!" Cao Shuo said: "The army is stationed in Yuxian County, and I can't leave. The general said that where it was, I would send someone. ”
"Actually, it's just outside Wancheng." Zhang Xiu said: "There is a village only ten miles away from Wancheng. ”
"The general put the wealth in the village?" Cao Shuo was stunned.
"It looks like a village, but in fact I sent someone to guard it." Zhang Xiu said: "Even if Wancheng is breached, no one will think that the wealth will be stored there. ”
"Someone!" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and shouted outside.
Cai Ji entered the house.
Cao Shuo instructed: "You take people to Wancheng and bring ten carts......"
"Childe, ten is not enough!" Before Cao Shuo finished speaking, Zhang Xiu said on the side: "If you don't say anything, you need thirty cars." ”
Cao Shuo was stunned: "How many benefits did General Zhang loot in Wancheng. ”
"It can't be said to be a loot." Zhang Xiu lowered his head and said: "I am very frugal on weekdays, and all those treasures are saved." ”
Cao Shuo didn't investigate how the wealth came from, he said to Cai Ji: "I didn't hear what General Zhang said, prepare thirty carts." Remember, don't use those things to go to the county, go directly back to Xu Duyun into the barracks, and wait for me to go back and count them. ”
Cai Ji withdrew in response.
Jia Xu, who accompanied the two into the house, asked Cao Shuo: "Son, General Zhang voted for the Cao family, and he will ...... in the future."
"I don't know what the future holds." Cao Shuo said: "I promised not to kill General Zhang, and I will not regret it." As for what happened to his father, it was up to the general to convince him. ”
The one who was most worried was Cao Shuo, and when he said this, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiu asked uneasily: "If Cao Gong wants to kill me, can Gongzi come to the rescue?" ”
Looking at Zhang Xiu, Cao Shuo showed a playful smile.
Jia Xu hurriedly said to Zhang Xiu: "General rest assured, since Gongzi doesn't kill, Cao Gong won't kill you!" ”
"Jia Gong!" Cao Shuo ignored Zhang Xiu, but said to Jia Xu: "I have won Sui County, and I am not familiar with the situation here, so I need you to help me more." ”
"If Childe has an order, just say it." Jia Xu said: "I do my best! ”
"Then you stay with me." Cao Shuo said: "Later, I will ask someone to arrange General Zhang's residence. ”
Cao Shuo shouted outside the door: "Wei Tu! ”
Wei Tu, who had been waiting outside the door with Cai Ji before, walked in, clenched his fists and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Arrange a place for General Zhang to live." Cao Shuo said: "In addition, please invite General Xiahou into the city." ”
Wei Tu first responded, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "General, please!" ”
Still apprehensive in his heart, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to ask more, so he saluted Cao Shuo and retreated with Wei Tu.
After he left, Cao Shuo looked at Jia Xu.
Being looked at by Cao Shuo, Jia Xu asked a little weakly: "Why does Childe look at me like this?" ”
"I'm thinking about something." Cao Shuo said: "How to settle Jia Gong." ”
"I'm just giving Zhang Xiu an idea, if Childe can't use me, I'll go." Jia Xu said.
"For a talent like Jia Gong, I have always had two attitudes." Cao Shuo said: "If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, you will kill!" I don't know what Jia Gong wants me to do? ”
"If the son is willing to use me, I will do my best." Jia Xu replied.
"Since Jia Gongken is for my use, follow me first." Cao Shuo smiled: "There are many things that I have to ask Jia Gong for advice in the future." ”
"Childe is willing to use me, I am grateful to Dade." Jia Xu said: "Those who wear sin must not dare to slack off. ”
"I will let Zhang Xiu's family property be taken, but the generals in the army are popular, but I need Jia Gong to help me buy it!" Cao Shuo said: "Later, I will ask Jia Gong to accompany me to see the soldiers of Toucheng." ”
Cao's army entered the county, and the disarmed Zhang Xiu soldiers were in danger.
Many of the soldiers had been on the battlefield for a long time, knowing that their lives would be in the hands of the enemy when they were captured.
In the corner of the barracks, Zhang Xiujun sat or squatted listlessly, and there were very few people who even talked to each other.
"It's time to eat!" With a shout, the captured Zhang Xiujun saw more than a dozen Cao military carts pushing more than a dozen large wooden barrels over.
Cao Jun, who was pushing the cart, was still more than ten steps away from them, and Zhang Xiujun, who had a sharp nose, smelled the aroma of meat.
"What's in the bucket?" A Zhang Xiujun swallowed his saliva and asked Cao Jun who was pushing the cart.
"Blessed are you." Cao Jun, who took the lead, said: "Gongzi has an order, let you have a full meal, everyone has meat to eat." ”
"Are you going to kill us?" Eating a full meal, to a certain extent, means that they are about to die, someone asked nervously.
"I haven't heard of it!" Cao Jun, who took the lead, said: "Eat with confidence, if Gongzi wants to kill you, he will already send someone to do it!" ”
"Really won't kill us?" Zhang Xiujun, who was questioning, was still trying to determine whether they were worried about their lives.
"I'm just a firehead, are you asking me in vain?" Cao Jun, who took the lead, said: "Whether it is life or death, this meal must be eaten." If I really want to kill you, you can't hide from it. If I don't kill you, that's your creation! ”
Cao Jun's words suddenly made Zhang Xiujun who was present lose his appetite.
Life is almost gone, what's the point of eating meat?
Zhang Xiujun's captives were grieving their fate of being slaughtered, when a voice came: "Gongzi is here!" ”
Hearing the shouts, the captives stood up and looked over the gate.
But after a while, they saw Cao Shuo coming over with a group of people.
Accompanying Cao Shuo was Jia Xu.
Approaching the captive, Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "What?" No one eats meat yet? I've heard you haven't had meat in days. ”
No one responded, and a pair of blank eyes looked at Cao Shuo.
"What's going on?" Cao Shuo asked Cao Jun, who was delivering food.
"Hui Gongzi, they were asking just now if this meal was a decapitated meal." Cao Jun, who took the lead, hurriedly replied.
Cao Shuo laughed and said to Zhang Xiujun who was present: "The severed head meal is much more hearty than this, I have been poor recently, and I originally wanted to kill all of you, but it is too much money to make so many severed head meals." On second thought, let's keep you alive and save money! (To be continued......)
