Not to mention Pengcheng, at this time, it is only said that in the land of Gunzhou, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao does not seem to have recovered from the pain of his young son's death.

At that time, Zhang Xiu came to see Cao Cao and said: "Zhang Xiu heard that the prime minister was going to lead troops to Hebei to attack Yuan Shao within a few days, and Zhang Xiu also wanted to go with the army and work hard for the prime minister, but I didn't want to feel cold at this time, and my body was very weak, and it was difficult to ......."

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't care, because he didn't want to bring this Zhang Xiu in the first place, but said: "Since General Zhang Xiu has already suffered from a cold, he should rest in the morning, but how can he come to my Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Zhang Xiu showed a rather haggard face, and said: "Zhang Xiu lives in Wancheng, and now at this moment, he is in Xudu, but he has a lot of homesickness, so he has been sick for a long time, and I implore the prime minister to send him a favor and allow Zhang Xiu to go to Wancheng to recuperate!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, although it was said that this embroidery had been sincere for a long time, but Cao Cao was always a suspicious person, so he persuaded: "Since Lord Zhang Xiu is already sick, why go to Wancheng again, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient!" ”

Zhang Xiu's words were conclusive, and said: "Since the prime minister is suspicious, Zhang Xiu is willing to just lead his family to go, hoping that the prime minister will have mercy!" ”

Zhang Xiu's position is a general in the court, but he is quite relied on by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's reliance is just to buy people's hearts, he Cao Cao just wants the heroes of the world to see, surrender to me Cao Cao, the future is immeasurable!

At that time, when Cao Cao raised troops to conquer Wancheng, this Zhang Xiu did not move a single soldier, and led the crowd to surrender, and Cao Cao rewarded his people, but promised all the military horses in Wancheng, and still obeyed Zhang Xiu's reprimand, and at this time Zhang Xiu made it clear, saying that he was willing to give up all his military horses, just to return to Wancheng to recuperate, and Cao Cao also saw pity, so he said: "It's okay to go to Wancheng, but General Zhang Xiu should be calm and recuperate!" ”

Zhang Xiu thanked him and left!

Everything was expected by Zhang Xiu, originally Cao Cao wanted to set up Zhang Xiu's person, so he ordered him to lead the army and horses to and from Xudu, in fact, he rose and descended secretly, in order to be able to control this person, but Zhang Xiu's acting skills were good, but Cao Cao's suspicions were dismantled step by step, so that today he will be let go to Wancheng!

Zhang Xiu has about 10,000 troops and horses, which is not a good man, nor a rabble. And Zhang Xiu gave up this group of soldiers and horses in front of Cao Cao before, it was not that Zhang Xiu was awe-inspiring, but he really had a trick!

The next day, Zhang Xiu went to see Cao Cao again, and said: "The road to Wancheng is full of bandits, and Zhang Xiu is also suffering from wind and cold, which is difficult to resist, please send a centurion to protect you!" ”

Zhang Xiu's centurion actually refers to the military horses of 100 people, but Cao Cao did not hesitate, so he said: "According to General Zhang Xiu's words!" ”

Zhang Xiu thanked him and resigned!

On the second day, at the Prime Minister's Mansion, another person came to visit Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao saw it, he asked, "Why didn't General Zhang Xiu set off yet?" ”

Zhang Xiu seemed to be speechless, and said slowly: "Zhang Xiu is ashamed to see the prime minister, and I heard that Zhang Lu's power in Hanzhong has been raging around Wancheng, Zhang Xiu is a person who regrets his life, and I implore the prime minister to send more military horses to accompany him!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, "It's just a little Zhang Lu, why worry about it, wait for the prime minister to clean up Yuan Shao in Hebei, but then go to clean up Zhang Lu in Hanzhong!" ”

Zhang Xiu said yes, his body and bones looked very weak, and Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, so he said: "Okay, you lead the army and horses of your headquarters to Wancheng!" ”

Zhang Xiu thanked him: "After Zhang Xiu recovers from his illness, I will kill Zhang Xiu!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing, and said, "You can step aside, the prime minister still has business to do!" ”

Zhang Xiu is also interested, when he quit the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his originally weak body, when he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly changed back to his spirit!

The reason why Cao Cao was willing to let Zhang Xiu go to Wancheng also had his own thoughts, after all, Zhang Xiu himself had nothing to worry about, and a few days ago, this Zhang Xiu was still in a restaurant, fighting with Gao Fei, although the matter is unknown, but Cao Cao has been keenly aware that there is absolutely no problem with this Zhang Xiu!

On the fourth day, Zhang Xiu took his family and family to walk out of Xudu, and in the suburbs, nearly 10,000 military horses and horses also went to the direction of Wancheng!

Zhang Xiu's movements were so small that at dusk, Xun Yu found out that Zhang Xiu had returned to Wancheng. At that time, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Why is the lord so confused! ”

The sun had already set down the mountain, and Xun Yu and his people rushed to the prime minister's mansion, and said to the lord Cao Cao: "Zhang Xiu is a tiger, how can the prime minister let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Cao Cao didn't understand Xun Yu's meaning, so he asked, "Why did Wen Ruo say this?" ”

Xun Yu sighed: "Zhang Xiuqi, where did he suffer from any cold, it is clearly the soldiers and horses who deceived the lord, and threw themselves into Wancheng, what is the difference between letting the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "If Wen Ruo is exaggerating, that Zhang Xiu was originally sincere to me, how could he betray me?" ”

Xun Yu saw that the lord didn't know anything, so he said: "Please think about it, when the lord was in the city, how could Zhang Xiu win with 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he surrendered; And today's trend, that Zhang Xiu not only re-transferred back to the headquarters of the military horses, but also took away how much grain and grass from the lord, if Zhang Xiu really wants to recuperate, why bring nearly 10,000 military horses, and near Wancheng, there is no shadow of Zhang Lu's strength at all! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses, "Zhang Xiu lied to me, how dare Zhu Ziyan lie to me?" ”

Xun Yu said eloquently, "In the past, Zhang Xiu did not dare to fight the prime minister with the soldiers of a city, but today he dared to openly provoke the prime minister, presumably there must be someone behind the scenes!" ”

Cao Cao thought so, so he shouted: "This embroidery dares to fake Wancheng, there will be a big disaster, it should be paid quickly!" ”

Xun Yu retorted: "This embroidery is known as the 'Gun King of the North', his ability is not small, and he is quite scheming, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!" ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "My army is about to send troops to Hebei, if this embroidery is behind my Cao Cao's back, how can I spare it, I will pay it quickly, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

Cao Cao's words were indeed reasonable, so Xun Yu also nodded yes, and asked, "I don't know who the lord wants to send to kill Zhang Xiu?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I have the son of Dian Wei, I haven't used it yet, I should try it today!" ”

At that time, the night was thick, and in the realm of Gunzhou, there was a military horse driving out, led by a sturdy man, with a pair of tiger eyes, two eagle ears, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was very angry.

Dian Man led the army and horses of 5,000 and chased Zhang Xiu's department at night, although it was already nightfall, but Dian Man roared in the army: "Today's prime minister has given me such important tasks, do not slack off, take Zhang Xiu's head, and become famous!" ”

The army was full of applause, and Dian Manzhi was full of pride, so he shouted: "Open up, march at night, swear to kill Zhang Xiu!" ”

A group of military horses, in the night, like wolves in the night, not only marched, but marched 600 miles in a day and night!

However, as soon as Zhang Xiu came out of the range of Xudu, he ordered the whole army to march quickly, and those who delayed were beheaded!

Zhang Xiu is an old fox, and he has long expected that his methods will not be able to deceive Xun Yu, so when Cao Cao succeeded, this Zhang Xiu began to sell well, and deliberately hid the news very deeply, so that by the time Xun Yu came back to his senses, Zhang Xiu and his people had already slipped away!

And the reason why Zhang Xiu wanted to rush back to Wancheng was not only because it was his base camp, but more importantly, there was an important person in Wancheng at this moment, and Zhang Xiu's plan had just begun!

Two days later, Zhang Xiu led his army and horses to a ruined village, and after some rectification, Zhang Xiu ordered the whole army to camp here.

This dilapidated village is rarely populated, and it is only two hundred miles away from Wancheng, so Zhang Xiu is not in a hurry to march, and at this time it is getting dark, just bury the pot to cook and rest the whole army!

Ten miles away, there was also a military horse that secretly stopped, led by one person, and said to those behind him: "The whole army is temporarily resting, and Hugh must make the slightest movement, and then start in the middle of the night!" ”

After two or three days of rapid marching, the 5,000 soldiers who came out of Gunzhou could not bear it, and Dianman also noticed this situation, and sighed: "Your brothers have suffered, and tonight you have taken care of your spirits, and if you succeed in one blow, we will return to Gunzhou in triumph, and the prime minister will be treated favorably!" ”

The sergeants said yes, but Dianman stared at the ruined village ten miles away, as if he was observing the enemy situation all the time!

The location of this village is also a bit strange, I only saw a dense withered grass and wild forest under a big mountain, which shows that this village has indeed been abandoned for a long time, so that the momentum of the grass and trees is crazy!

Pawn Man ordered the whole army to rest for a while, but he himself touched the forest on the side, and slowly approached Zhang Xiu's army!

Although the two military horses were only ten miles apart, because there was a mountain range blocking them, Zhang Xiu's department did not find anything unusual, and Zhang Xiuqi and his people even got into the simple tent and seemed to sleep peacefully!

Bury the pot to make rice, a group of food soldiers, found a vacant land near the water source, then held a pickaxe and a chisel, dug and planed, and made dozens of simple stoves, when even if the big pot shovel, the stewed rice, the stir-fried vegetables, it seems that this way of marching, only sleep and eat when the most comfortable!

Dian Man hid behind a tree, but there were quite doubts, this embroidery ran all the way, rarely rested, and Dian Man led the crowd to catch up, it was also very difficult, just saw the shadow of this embroidery, this embroidery is suddenly unhurried, is there a fraud?

Dian Man involuntarily thought about it, although Dian Man was a general for the first time, but he had read a lot of the art of war strategy, and his father Dian Wei was even more taught by words and deeds, so this Dian Man is not Zhao Kuo on paper, the so-called tiger father has no dog son, he Dian Man vows to complete his father's will, help the lord to win the world, and even more to sword Lu Bu and avenge his father!

Suddenly, a mountain monkey jumped out of the direction where Dianman was, playing very, and Dianman saw this, angry eyes, the mountain monkey saw this pair of tiger eyes, when even if he thought, what kind of fierce beast came to this mountain, his legs jumped, and he fled!

The sergeants noticed something strange in the forest behind them, and wanted to search it, but at this time, the embroidery suddenly came out of the tent and shouted, "It's just a monkey!" What's all the fuss, go see if the rice is cooked! ”

The soldiers said yes, and went to the food soldiers to urge, and Zhang Xiu suddenly turned around and smiled at the forest that had made a movement just now!
