【Auxiliary Zhang Embroidery】

After Jia Xu left Li Dao, he took refuge in his fellow countryman Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan turned out to be one of the few Zhonglang generals under Dong Zhuo, but after Dong Zhuo's death, he took refuge in Wang Yun, and returned to the Xiliang Army after Wang Yun's death. Duan Xuan's station has been in Huayin since Dong Zhuo's time, even after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Li Guo attacked Chang'an, Li Guo fought internally, and Emperor Xian went east.

Jia Xu is very famous in the Xiliang Army, of course, in Duan Xuan's troops, Duan Xuan is no exception, like Li, Guo and others, Duan Xuan is also very jealous of Jia Xu, and he is afraid that Jia Xu will take away his military power, but he still treats Jia Xu with courtesy on the surface, but Jia Xu is such a smart person, and soon figured out the little Jiujiu in Duan Xu's heart, and Jia Xu had the intention of leaving.

At this time, Jia Xu's former colleague Zhang Ji attacked Nanyang County in Jingzhou because of a lack of food and grass, and in the first year of Jian'an (196), Zhang Ji died in the attack on the city, so his nephew Zhang Xiu took over his troops. Zhang Xiu secretly had a relationship with Jia Xu because of his lack of strategists.

So Jia Xu decided to take refuge in Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu sent someone to pick up Jia Xu, and when Jia Xu was about to leave, someone asked him: "Duan Xuan is very kind to you, why do you want to leave?"

Jia Xu said: "Duan Xuan is suspicious by nature, suspicious, although the etiquette is thoughtful, but it is unreliable, and he will be calculated by him after a long time." He must have been happy when I left, and hoped that I would be able to contact him with strong reinforcements outside, and that he would be kind to my family. Zhang Xiu does not have a major adviser, and he is willing to get Jia Xu, so that my family and person can be preserved. ”

After Jia Xu left, Zhang Xiu upheld the courtesy of his juniors, and Duan Xuan really took care of his family.

After Zhang Ji's death, the officials of Jingzhou were happy to congratulate when they heard the news, but Liu Biao said: "Zhang Ji came to our Jingzhou because he was poor and had no way out. Now that General Zhang Ji has unfortunately died, everyone should be sad. As the pastor of Jingzhou, I only accept everyone's sacrifices, not congratulations. He sent people to gather and incorporate Zhang Ji's army, and Zhang Ji's soldiers were very happy to hear Liu Biao say this, and Zhang Xiu also agreed to join Liu Biao under Jia Xu's persuasion, becoming his northern barrier.

According to the record of "Fu Zi", later Jia Xu went south to see Liu Biao, and Liu Biao treated him as a guest. After Jia Xu came out, he said: "Liu Biao is a talent who can be used as the third prince in peacetime, but in troubled times, he can't see the change of things, he is suspicious and indecisive, and he is not a person who can do great things." This may be one of the reasons why Jia Xu later abandoned Liu Biao and surrendered to Cao Cao.

【Battle of Wancheng】

After the union of Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's troops and Wancheng, Wancheng was not very far from Xuchang, so this place quickly became a thorn in Cao Cao's eyes and a thorn in the flesh.

In the first month of the spring of the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu for the first time. This crusade went very smoothly, Cao Cao's troops had just arrived in Shuishui, Zhang Xiu surrendered, although there is no record in the known historical materials now, but Zhang Xiu's surrender so quickly could not have nothing to do with Jia Xu.

It's a pity that the war went too smoothly and Cao Cao's pigtails were cocked. Cao Cao soon did two things that Zhang Xiu couldn't tolerate.

The first thing is lustful. Cao Cao himself is a famous pervert in history, he fell in love with Zhang Ji's wife (name unknown) soon after Zhang Xiu's surrender, that is, Zhang Xiu's aunt, and grandly included her in his harem.

The second thing is to be good. Zhang Xiu had a confidant named Hu Che'er, and after Cao Cao saw Hu Che'er, he appreciated his courage very much, so he gave Hu Che'er the gold, with great intentions to win him over.

Zhang Xiu was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao because of his aunt's affairs, and Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill him. Then Cao Cao wooed Hu Che'er again, and Zhang Xiu suspected that Cao Cao wanted to buy his cronies to assassinate him, so Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu's strategy to rebel.

At that time, Cao Cao's camp was in the middle of the road, Zhang Xiu asked Cao Cao to transfer the camp, Cao Cao agreed, and then Zhang Xiu said: "We have fewer cars, but there are a lot of things, I hope that the soldiers can be put on armor, so that a lot of goods can be reduced." At that time, Cao Cao estimated that he was asleep in the arms of the beauty, and he actually agreed to this kind of thing.

As a result, Zhang Xiu's army openly passed in front of Cao Cao's camp, and then as soon as the soldiers turned around, they turned around and killed, and Cao Cao's army was caught off guard and was defeated.

Cao Cao was attacked by Zhang Xiu after the defeat, immediately left and fled, Cao Cao was riding his own BMW at the time, but unfortunately was hit by a stray arrow, the shadow died, Cao Cao's own right arm was also arrowed, at this moment of crisis, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang arrived in time, gave his mount to Cao Cao, and protected his father on foot to get out of Wancheng.

But Cao Ang, who let the horse, actually gave his father Cao Cao the chance to survive, but he himself did not escape and died in the Wancheng area.

After Cao Cao escaped on horseback alone, in order to help Cao Cao delay time, Cao Cao's personal guard leader Dian Wei fought to the death in the camp gate, so that Zhang Xiu's troops could not attack, and those rebels were forced to change the door.

At that time, there were more than a dozen captains around Dian Wei, all of whom fought desperately, all of them with one as ten. The rebels gathered more and more, and Dian Wei attacked left and right with halberds, and as soon as he forked, more than a dozen spears were broken. His subordinates were killed and wounded, Dian Wei was also injured in ten places, hand-to-hand combat with short weapons, the enemy soldiers rushed forward, Dian Wei grabbed two people with his arms and killed them, and the rest did not dare to step forward. Dian Wei rushed forward to surprise the enemy, killing several people, suffering from serious injuries, and dying of scolding. Then the enemy dared to come forward, cut off his head, and passed it to each other, and then returned to see his body.

Cao Cao retreated to Wuyin, heard that Dian Wei had died in battle, wept bitterly, sent spies to retrieve his body, and wept in person.

In this battle, in addition to Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, the favorite general Dian Wei was killed, Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin also died in Wancheng.

After Cao Cao retreated to Wuyin County, Zhang Xiu still did not let go of personally leading the cavalry to copy, but was defeated by Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu fled to Yuxian and joined forces with Liu Biao, which marked that Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu were united again.

After the war, Cao Cao was extremely remorseful, but Cao Mengde was Cao Mengde after all, and he quickly regained his strength and said to everyone: "I asked Zhang Xiu and others to surrender, but I made the mistake of not immediately taking hostages, so I was defeated." I understand the reason for my failure, please watch, I will not fail again from now on. Then he withdrew his troops and returned to Xudu.

The first battle of Wancheng ended in Cao Cao's self-inflicted defeat, but Cao Mengde would not give up, and he would eventually return to the place where he fell.

ps: There is a knife on the head of the color word, Cao Cao robbed the widow - lost his son and broke his wife (yes, it was a wife)
