After letting go of Hu Che'er, Cao Jun did not move, rested for a day, and at noon the next day, the guards came to report to Cao Zhang, Hu Che'er and Zhang Xiu and others came to ask for surrender, and now Zhang Xiu has arrived in Cao Cao's main account, and the army is expected to start an hour later, heading towards Wancheng.

Cao Zhang saw Zhang Xiu when he was marching, and Cao Zhang's impression of the anti-bone image is not the same, this thirty-year-old Zhang Xiu has clear eyebrows, wearing a rather bright Mingguang armor, tall, lean, maybe because he came to surrender, so he did not bring weapons, at this time he was riding a horse beside Cao Cao, Cao Zhang, Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Hu Che'er was riding behind the two.

Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were having a conversation, Zhang Xiu was very humble and respectful, and Cao Cao seemed to have a good impression of him, but Cao Cao's every question was a test of Zhang Xiu's sincerity.

I only heard Cao Cao laugh and said: "General Zhang, does Wancheng have an arsenal?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "Although Wancheng has an arsenal, it has been idle for a long time, and the weapons used by the sergeants under the command of the last general are all original weapons, and they are not built with Wancheng's arsenal. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that Nanyang County was occupied by the thief army before, and the weapons that wanted to come to the arsenal were taken away by the thief army. ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "Exactly, there are also 2,000 pairs of armor and 4,000 halberds, and the last general is planning to hand them over to the lord." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Very good, I have been fighting day and night for the imperial court for several days, and I have suffered a lot of losses, which is just right to equip the new army." Then Cao Cao said: "General Zhang, why don't you let your subordinates go back first, and order your army to disarm and abandon the Getun troops outside Wancheng?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied with a smile: "Everything is under the orders of the lord." After saying that, he sent Hu Che'er to give the order.

Cao Cao then smiled again: "I don't know much about the population of Wancheng, after entering the city, I will send a sergeant to check the household registration of the whole people, I don't know General Zhang... ”

Cao Zhang listened to the secret way, what kind of household registration is this, it is basically to check whether Zhang Xiu is still hiding private soldiers in the city, Cao Cao is really a hero.

Zhang Xiu said: "It should be so. ”

Cao Cao smiled at Cao Ang and said, "Zixuan, after entering the city, you will take the three tiger guards to check the household registration of Wancheng and report the number of population to your father." ”

Cao Ang replied, "No." ”

Cao Cao then said: "General Zhang, your corporal has been disarmed, and I have 3,000 tiger guards under my command, which can just maintain law and order in the city, what does the general think?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied with a smile: "It should be so. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Wan means high in all directions, under the center, so Wancheng is a basin city, the water passes through the city, east, west, and north are surrounded by mountains, it is not difficult to understand why Zhang Xiu is going to surrender, Cao Cao's army comes, blocking is inevitable, except for going over the mountains and mountains, he can't avoid it at all.

After the army marched to the only gap in the south of Wancheng that was not cut off by the mountain range, Cao Cao ordered to stop the march, at this time there were still about five miles away from Wancheng, and the city wall was already in sight, and at the same time Cao Cao saw that Zhang Xiu's deployment army was stationed at the foot of the mountain in the east, and the military camp was on the side of the water, and the back was against the mountain, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Okay, pass my general order, Wen Qian, Gongming, Zilian, Mancheng led the army to camp, Zihe, Evil, Zixu, Zhang'er, take the Tiger Guards and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into the city with me!" ”

After the order was handed down, everyone went their own way, and Cao Zhang went into the city with Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu.

The moat of Wancheng is surrounded by the river water that directly leads the water, it will not dry up all year round, the city wall is also very high, it looks like it is about 20 meters, and judging from the arch of the city gate, the thickness of the city wall is about no less than five meters, it is a strong city, but unfortunately according to Cao Zhang's visual inspection, the soldiers camped outside Zhang Xiucheng are only 20,000 people, and it can only be said that it is a fool's dream to defend this big city.

What's more, Zhang Xiu's occupation of Wancheng was still short, and it was difficult for the army and the people to work together, so he could only choose to surrender, perhaps by fraud.

After Cao Cao led the army into the city, he asked Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to expel Zhang Xiu's militia together, and sent Cao Ang to take three departments, that is, 1,200 tiger guards to verify the household registration of the whole city, and the remaining 1,800 tiger guards controlled Zhang Xiu's homestead, county government, arsenal, and other places, which can be called vigorous and resolute.

According to this situation, Cao Zhang really doesn't understand what Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu rely on to turn the tables.

After doing all this, Cao Cao asked Zhang Xiu to call all his subordinate generals to the county government for a banquet, which was called to Zhang Xiu to introduce him, but in fact, he asked Cao Jun to lock the monitoring target, this kind of trick Guo Jia and Cao Zhang explained.

In the banquet of the county government, Cao Zhang's attention has always been focused on one person, and that is Jia Xu! Jia Xu's position is below Zhang Xiu, and below Jia Xu is Hu Che'er, indicating that this Jia Xu is the No. 2 person in Zhang Xiu Group.

This Jia Xu is not very tall, but he is still a little taller than Cao Cao, about 175, his hair is a little gray, it seems that he is half a hundred, his appearance is not anything special, on the surface, he is a very ordinary embarrassed middle-aged man, but the more this kind of person, the more dangerous it is.

Cao Cao values Jia Xu very much, because Cao Cao heard Zhong Xuan mention that it was this guy who offered a plan to Li Dao Guo Yan when Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and led his troops to attack Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo, and later Jia Xu was reused by Li Dao, and then when Li Dao and Guo Yan were infighting, Jia Xu also contributed to let the two negotiate peace, during this time he served as the captain of Pingjin, the captain of the school, Shangshu and other official positions, in the tiger's mouth wolf's den not only can get out of the whole body, but also can continue to be promoted, it can be seen that this person is intelligent.

Cao Chang judged him to be an oilier old oiler than Zhong Xuan, and he was also an insidious old oilman.

During the banquet, Cao Cao frequently persuaded Jia Xu to drink, and even reiterated his credit for persuading and urging Li to persuade Guo Yan in Chang'an to let Emperor Xian not suffer from internal strife, which is very obvious.

After the feast was over, Cao Zhang, escorted by ten Tiger Guards, returned to the post house first, while Cao Cao went to Zhang Xiu's house as a guest under the escort of Dian Wei and fifty Tiger Guards.

On the first night in the post house, Cao Zhang didn't close his eyes all night, because he really couldn't think of how Zhang Xiu could turn the tables, and he couldn't even think of any reason and capital for Zhang Xiu's rebellion, Zhang Xiu's surrender was very thorough, all his subordinates were disarmed, and Cao Cao's three thousand tiger guards were controlled in the city, which was not a fraudulent surrender at all, so why did he still rebel? What to take to reverse? Cao Zhang's insomnia night, Cao Cao did not return to live in the post house, and even Cao Ang did not come back, which made Cao Zhang wonder, did they sleep at Zhang Xiu's house?

The next day, when Cao Zhang had lunch, Cao Cao returned to the post house full of exhaustion, and went directly to sleep without even eating lunch, Cao Ang was nowhere to be seen, Dian Wei went to the guard room with the guards to eat, Cao Zhang slowly shook to the courtyard where the guard room of the post house was located after lunch, Dian Wei was walking out of lunch with the general guards, and saw Cao Zhang saluting and said: "Three sons!" ”

Cao Zhang nodded and asked casually, "General Dian, have you ever seen my eldest brother?" ”

Dian Wei replied: "The eldest prince has gone to the outside of the city to lead the whole army on behalf of the lord. ”

Cao Zhang let out a casual 'oh' and then left, and walked towards the outside of the post house with his ten guards, he wanted to find a place to think about what Zhang Xiu would use to turn the tables!
