Cao Cao himself brought 50,000 horses, but he also counted the auxiliary soldiers and farmers, and he made a big show and bluffed, claiming to have brought 100,000 horses, which immediately frightened Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In particular, Cao Jun swept Li Dao and Guo Yan like a sweep, which made Jia Xu overestimate Cao Jun's combat power by a few points.

After all, before this, Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji's combat power was far inferior to Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he was squeezed out by the two, and after that, Zhang Ji died under the chaotic arrows of the Jingzhou army, and after Zhang Xiu inherited Zhang Ji's foundation, his strength did not improve much.

As a result, Li Dao and Guo Yan, whose strength was far above Zhang Xiu, were far from Cao Jun's opponents.

Jia Xu reasoned and found that the Cao army's combat power was too strong, and there were so many men and horses, it was really impossible to fight, so he persuaded Zhang Xiu: "Cao's army is strong, it can't be compared to the enemy, it's better to surrender!" ”

Zhang Xiu was about to agree, but suddenly remembered his sworn brother Wei Yan, if he surrendered to Cao Cao, Wei Yan would be alone to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Biao, which was really a bit unjust, so he asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, how is Wen Chang's side?" ”

Jia Xu sneered: "On that day, he made an alliance with the general, it was an alliance under the city, and it was okay not to abide by it, besides, he has already sent Mrs. Zou back, and our army is no longer involved, and now Cao Cao is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, we vote for Cao, which is also in line with the general trend, and Wei Yan can't blame us!" ”

A few days ago, Mrs. Zou was sent back, and Jia Xu was worried that Wei Yan had sent a fake, so he observed it carefully, and found that Mrs. Zou's every move, smile and cheek were no different from the original, and the suspicious heart was put down.

Zhang Xiu obeyed Jia Xuyan, and said: "Since this is the case, then we will surrender to Cao." Mr. Wenhe, I have to work hard for you to go to Caoying to make a payment. ”

Jia Xu arrived at Cao Ying.

Cao Cao saw that Jia Xu was dealing with it like a stream, so he said: "Wenhe, I love Rucai, it is better to stay in my army and be my adviser." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "In the past, he offended the world from Li Dao; Today, from Zhang Xiu, listen to the plan, and can't bear to abandon it. ”

Cao Cao heard Jia Xu say this, so he didn't force it, he hadn't really understood Jia Xu's power yet, otherwise even if he killed Jia Xu now, he wouldn't be able to let Jia Xu go.

The next day, Jia Xu led Zhang Xiu to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao treated Zhang Xiu very warmly, and the etiquette was very thorough.

Zhang Xiu led Cao Cao into Wancheng, Dian Wei took five thousand tiger guards with Cao Cao into Wancheng Tunza, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and others led other horses to camp by the water outside Wancheng.

In order to make Zhang Xiu's surrender more complete, Cao's army has always maintained the appearance of 100,000 people, bravado, bluffing, and the camp stretches for seven or eight miles.

Cao Cao lived in Wancheng City for several days, and every day Zhang Xiu held a banquet to entertain Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that Hu Che'er had a vision, majestic and mighty, and liked it very much, and rewarded Hu Che'er with gold with Zhang Xiu on his back.

Hu Che'er was loyal to Zhang Xiu, so he told Zhang Xiu about Cao Cao's reward for gold.

Zhang Xiu also heard the news that Cao Cao wanted to recruit Jia Xu at this time.

The combination of these two pieces of news made Zhang Xiu's heart very unstable, could it be that Cao Cao wanted to buy his cronies and get rid of himself like Lu Bu got rid of Dong Zhuo, so that he could completely control this Xiliang army?

Zhang Xiu asked Hu Che'er to pretend to be in contact with Cao Cao, pretending to be bought by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's side, there is indeed the intention of bribing Hu Che'er to kill Zhang Xiu, after all, if Zhang Xiu is here, this Xiliang army will always only listen to Zhang Xiu and not listen to himself, once Zhang Xiu is bought by Liu Biao or Wei Yan in the future, then Zhang Xiu will turn to others against himself, and the solution once and for all is to kill Zhang Xiu, but he underestimated Hu Che'er's loyalty to Zhang Xiu.

Hu Che'er obeyed Zhang Xiu's intentions and behaved as greedy and unrighteous as Hu Chi'er who killed Niu Fu for money before.

Cao Cao was not stupid, but he had dealt with the Southern Huns, Xianbei people, and Qiang people, and knew that they were all greedy for money and unrighteous without exception, and established such prejudices and cognitions, so he thought that Hu Che'er was the same as those Hu people, so he believed Hu Che'er's attitude as true.

The contradiction between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu is on the verge of breaking out, and now there is only one fuse missing.

……

At this time, on both sides of the Huaishui, Wen Ping, Yu Ban, Gan Ning, and Man Chong led 20,000 horses, flooded 60,000 Yuan troops, killed 4,000 Yuan troops, drowned more than 6,000 Yuan troops, and captured nearly 50,000 Yuan troops.

Ganning's 5,000 sailors ran rampant in Huaishui, leaving 5,000 men and horses to reorganize and take prisoners.

Wen hired and led 10,000 horses to the south, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shouchun.

Yuan Shu hurriedly sent troops to block, but the main force under his command, under the leadership of Ji Ling, was competing with Liu Bei's army in Huaiyin, and there were not too many troops to deploy, and all the people and horses sent were hired by Wen and dispersed by Yu Ban.

……

In Xuyi, Guan Yu fought with Ji Ling, and fought for 30 rounds without winning or losing, and then Ji Ling saw that the battle would definitely be over, so he sent the deputy general Xun Zheng out of the horse, and as a result, Guan Yu cut Xun Zheng under the horse in one round.

Liu Bei took the opportunity to drive the troops to kill the generals, Ji Ling was defeated, retreated to the mouth of the Huaiyin River, did not dare to fight, only taught the sergeants to steal the camp and rob the village, all were defeated by the Xuzhou soldiers, and the two armies refused from then on.

At this time, Lu Bu, lured by Cao Bao and at the suggestion of Chen Gong, prepared to seize Xuzhou.

……

At this time, Cao Cao got the news from Xuzhou, and the Xizuo in Huainan also sent back the news, saying that Wei Yan's army had flooded 60,000 Yuan troops, and took advantage of the situation to march into Huainan and go straight to Shouchun, the Wei Yan who straddled the black horse, held a red blood knife, and had a red face, was in the army.

Cao Cao was immediately relieved, Xu Du was worry-free in the rear, and his action against Zhang Xiu should be able to be completed smoothly without Wei Yan being hindered by Wei Yan.

That night, when his mind was relaxed, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and was a little drunk, and thinking that there had been no woman for several days, he asked his attendants, "Are there any prostitutes in this city?" ”

Cao Cao's nephew, Cao Anmin, understood what Cao Cao meant, this uncle didn't want to play with prostitutes, he wanted to play with people-wives, so he whispered to Cao Cao: "Last night, the little nephew was in the house next to Zhang Xiu's mansion, and saw a woman who was very beautiful, and asked her identity, it turned out to be Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji's wife. ”

Cao Cao asked in a low voice, "Is it really beautiful?" ”

Cao Anmin nodded violently: "It is indeed very beautiful, it makes people think about the bed when they see it!" ”

"Thinking about the bed?" Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's really beautiful!" An Min, you take fifty tiger guards and bring that woman. ”

Cao Anmin hesitated: "It's just that it's Zhang Xiu's aunt, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu will be unhappy if she knows it!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu, I will kill him sooner or later, why worry!" ”

Cao Anmin took fifty tiger guards to the mansion and forcibly took the so-called Madame Zou to Cao Cao's barracks.

When Cao Cao saw that woman, his eyes were enchanting and charming, as Cao Anmin said, seeing and thinking about the bed, Cao Cao was also just like what later generations said, "slightly hard, showing respect", and asked: "What's your surname?" ”

That woman is Yingying, she is from Xuzhou, and Cao Cao has a deep blood feud, but after more than half a year of rigorous agent training, now she is very soft and charming with a smile and a cheek, without the slightest resentment, and said softly: "The concubine is Zhang Ji's wife Zou Shiye." ”
