56. There is nothing to be done

Cao Zhang walked out of the post house and wandered on the street, and found that there would be a few tiger guards walking on the street from time to time, obviously, Wancheng was completely under the control of Cao Jun, Cao Zhang passed by the tavern, and found that there were many tiger guards drinking in the tavern, obviously those who were not on duty at the time, Cao Zhang thought about it and took his guards to an alley, took out a string of five baht coins and handed it to one of the guards and said: "You go to the tavern, find out the news, why did my father stay in Zhang Xiu's mansion last night." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The guard was embarrassed: "Third son, the robe of the guard general may not be in the tavern." ”

Although Cao Cao gave up the title of general to Yuan Shao and became the chief himself, his guards still called Cao Cao a general, especially the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger guards.

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "There will always be encounters, there are three thousand people coming and going in your camp, don't tell me that you don't know who is guarding your father, go, I'll wait for you at the post house!" After speaking, he walked back, and he first had to find out what Cao Cao was doing in Zhang Xiu's mansion, because he really couldn't remember.

In the evening, Cao Cao left the post house again, Cao Zhang guessed that he went to Zhang Xiu's mansion again, and not long after Cao Cao left, the guard who listened to the news returned, according to the news he got, Cao Cao was obsessed with Zhang Xiu's widow from his father Zhang Ji, that is, Zhang Xiu's mother.

Cao Zhang didn't feel surprised at all when he heard the news, Cao Cao was notoriously lustful, and the question he was thinking about was Zhang Xiu against him for this? Not a premeditated rebellion? Cao Zhang is really a little unbelievable, the end of the Han Dynasty was an era without discipline, Cao Zhang's old lady Bian is a singer, Cao Pi's later wife Zhen Ji is still Yuan Xi's widow, to say that Zhang Xiu was furious because Cao Cao slept with his father's widow, this doesn't make sense at all.

If this reason is ruled out, it means that Zhang Xiu has never thought about really surrendering from beginning to end, and now he is just a false promise, waiting for the opportunity to give Cao Cao a fatal blow? But under Cao Cao's impermeable precautions, what can he Zhang Xiu do?

Originally, Cao Zhang also suspected that the historical records were wrong, and Zhang Xiu may have really fallen, but after thinking about it, no matter how confused the person who wrote the history books, he would not write the death date and cause of death of such an important person as Cao Ang wrongly, because Cao Pi once mentioned when he became the emperor that if Cao Ang did not die, it would be Cao Ang who was the emperor, and the cause of death and death date of such an important person would definitely not be wrong.

So the most important thing for Cao Zhang now is to figure out how Zhang Xiu launched a counterattack on the premise that Wancheng was controlled and all the soldiers were disarmed and abandoned, and Cao Ang and Dian Wei were killed in Wancheng, although Jia Xu's plan would be very detailed and obscure, but Cao Zhang believed that he would still find flaws if he had the heart to observe.

From the next day, Cao Zhang ran around in Wancheng without anything, trying to find some clues, but Cao Zhang was disappointed, because Wancheng is now completely under the control of Cao's army, and the weapons in the arsenal are also guarded by the Tiger Guards, and the armor and weapons outside Wancheng have also been confiscated by Cao Cao.

On the fifth day after the occupation of Wancheng, Cao Cao began to let his subordinate people put on the armor of the arsenal, bring the weapons of the arsenal, and form a new army of 2,000 people, and then took half of Zhang Xiu's 20,000 armor and weapons, and equipped 10,000 new troops, and then let these 12,000 people drive into Wancheng.

After 12,000 people entered Wancheng, Cao Cao asked Cao Hong to lead the commander of Nanyang and control 12,000 people to defend the city, but he did not guard too much, and asked Zhang Xiu to take a group of generals, including Jia Xu and Hu Che'er, to return to Xu Du to accept the reward from the Son of Heaven.

Because half of Zhang Xiu's sergeants have no soldier equipment, the 10,000 soldiers who are not equipped are used as people to carry food, and the other half can only wear armor on the day of the start and march in front of the army with halberds.

This arrangement can be said to have completely smashed any chance for Zhang Xiu to rebel, without equipment and food, without combat effectiveness at all, and among the tens of thousands of people in Cao Jun, on the contrary, it is also a joke, those with equipment are in the front, and if they want to fight back, the tiger and leopard walking behind them can be swept away by pulling the reins of the horse, so Cao Zhang almost thinks that Zhang Xiu has no chance.

After all the arrangements were stopped, Cao Cao returned to the military camp outside the city with the Tiger Guards and generals, and planned to return to Xudu in three days, until this moment, Cao Zhang did not see Zhang Xiu have any chance.

On the second day after returning to the barracks, Cao Zhang was practicing knife skills in the barracks, because Cao Jun's Chinese army camp wanted to guard against Zhang Xiu, so when he set up camp, he deliberately set up the Chinese army camp under the same mountain range as Zhang Xiu's barracks, backed by a steep peak, and Zhang Xiu's barracks and Wancheng shook the angle, and Cao Zhang's place where he stood could see Wancheng and Zhang Xiu's barracks.
