Chapter 46: Enmity

readx; Cao Chun was extremely disapproving of Zhang Xiu's plea, and warned Huang Zhong, who was surrounded by tigers and leopards, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and said bluntly: "General Zhang, this person is brave and unmatched, he must be a well-known general under Liu Biao, Jingzhou and us will have a battle sooner or later, now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to a general under Liu Biao's command, how can he be easily released, won't it be a problem to raise tigers in the future?" ”

Zhang Xiu's face was expressionless, his big hand holding the gun tightened unconsciously, and there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes that wanted to break through the trap of his eyelids, but he was pressed down. After a long time, www.biquge.info he said in a low voice: "A certain Xiliang man who stands up to the sky and the earth must not be ungrateful. Please General Cao release him, if he Huang Hansheng and Cao Gong are against him in the future, Xiu is willing to raise troops to help Cao Gong kill this bureaucracy, and never teach him to obstruct Cao Gong's plan. ”

Cao Chun hesitated. Huang Zhong is as brave as this, no less than a tiger is obsessed, he is a rare battlefield warrior, it took a lot of effort to trap him to death, and Zhang Xiu let him go with just one sentence, which really teaches people to be unwilling. However, Zhang Xiu was a small prince that Cao Cao tried his best to recruit, and whether Zhang Xiu was obedient or not was related to the strategic arrangement of Cao Jun, and Zhang Xiu's face could not be easily refuted.

Just as he was hesitating and secretly thinking about the gains and losses, Cao Ang said coldly on the side: "According to what General Zhang said, let's no longer embarrass this general and let him go." ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Ang fiercely, and a look of surprise crossed her eyes. Cao Ang also looked at Zhang Xiu, but his eyes were much more complicated than Zhang Xiu's.

The tiger and leopard riders wanted to obey the generals and slowly retreated, but Cao Chun shouted fiercely: "Zi Xuan think twice, this person is so brave and good at fighting, let it go today, and there will be endless disasters in the future." ”

Cao Angwu stared at Zhang Xiu, and said in a low voice with pain and hatred: "What is the use of personal bravery in the battle of thousands of troops? Dian Wei was brave and invincible to the three armies, but he was surrounded by hundreds of ordinary soldiers, so he had to end up in a different place. Let him go, General Zhang has the grace to save his life for us, and we will do what he says. ”

Cao Chun was stunned, a little regret welled up in his eyes, and there was a little unwillingness on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." As he spoke, he shouted at the tiger and leopard riders, making them let go of the siege of Huang Zhong.

Zhang Xiu's face trembled slightly, he had never regretted killing Cao Cao's henchmen and nephews in the Battle of Wancheng, but now his heart was full of sourness.

This Xiliang boy came from a humble background, and his uncle Zhang Ji had the crime of rebellion, and he always valued his reputation and face when he survived in troubled times. The surrender of Cao Cao was originally a happy thing for everyone - Cao Cao represented the orthodoxy of the Han court, and surrendering him was to return to the court, which could not only exempt Zhang's uncle and nephew from the charge of being a rebellious minister and thief, but also increase the official rank.

It's a pity that all the beautiful visions taught Cao Cao's lust was shattered, and Zhang Xiu completely broke with Cao Cao in a fit of anger, and even killed Cao Cao in embarrassment, and took out a bad breath in his chest.

However, with Cao Cao's defeat and Jingzhou saved from the poison of war, Liu Biao's suspicion began to attack again - he was worried that Zhang Xiu's tail would not be lost, so he simply began to withhold Zhang Xiu's logistical supplies, and he became increasingly alienated from Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu offended the bigwigs in the north to death, and was not treated by the bigwigs in the south, and he was caught in it like a year. Fortunately, after a while, Cao Cao actually sent someone to surrender again, and the person who came to surrender turned out to be the captain of the imperial court - enough to show Cao Cao's sincerity.

Zhang Xiu was excited, but at the same time had doubts. After all, if Cao Cao's henchmen and nephews were killed, if they rashly took refuge in the past and taught others to take care of them in their hands and settle the general account after the autumn, how would it be good? While he was hesitating, a spy suddenly reported that Liu Biao had mobilized the troops north of Xiangyang to encircle and suppress the tiger and leopard cavalry that rescued Cao Ang.

Zhang Xiu immediately realized that this was simply a pillow sent by Liu Biao when he was sleepy - if he led his troops deep into Jingzhou to save Cao Ang in danger, it could be regarded as a general's fault. In the future, if he joins Cao Ying, he will not make Cao Cao hold a grudge.

So Zhang Xiu immediately ordered troops to chase all the way, and really saved Cao Ang from danger. Zhang Xiu was happy in his heart, but the hatred that Cao Ang inadvertently revealed made his heart cold - what is the difference between teaching this Cao Ying's future lord hatred and teaching Cao Cao to hold grudges?

Zhang Xiu regretted not being at the beginning! How could he have turned against Cao Cao for the sake of a little face, and even killed his confidant and beloved nephew!

If he hadn't been stunned by the anger and rebellion at the beginning, he would have been the general in Cao's camp now. With his own skills, what are the difficulties in sealing his wife and son, and shining on the lintel? And now he is in a state of panic, like a rootless duckweed, and like a lost dog.

Zhang Xiu thought silently in his heart, came back to his senses, looked at Cao Ang hard, and said with difficulty: "I intend to invite Cao Gongzi to Sui County for a while, I don't know if Cao Gongzi can succumb?" Zhang Xiu's posture was very low, and he added a sentence at the end, saying: "Uncle Ding Gong is also in Sui County, and he is very concerned about Cao Gongzi." ”

Cao Chun was worried that Zhang Xiu's motives were not pure, so he hurriedly refused: "General Zhang's kindness is my heart, but my lord misses his son too much, so it is better for me to return to Xudu first, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will have a good time with General Zhang." ”

Since Cao Chun took Cao Cao out as an excuse, Zhang Xiu had nothing to say, no matter how important his uncle was, he couldn't compare to his father. Immediately, the gloom on his face flashed, and he nodded silently.

"General Zhang has a life-saving grace for us, since we have opened our mouths to invite, we will be disrespectful," Cao Ang on the side ignored Cao Chun's words, and said something completely different from him, "What's more, the grievances between Cao and General Zhang have to be settled." ”

Cao Chun's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke out to stop Cao Ang.

Cao Ang ignored it, stared straight at Zhang Xiu, and said firmly: "A good man should repay his kindness and revenge in the world. General Zhang's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain but his hatred is as deep as the sea, this account must be calculated clearly after all, how can I pretend to be confused. ”

Cao Chun pointed at Cao Ang impatiently: "You...... You ......" squeaked for a long time, and I couldn't say why.

Zhang Xiu's eyes swept away the previous gloom and became extremely bright, looking at Cao Ang with burning eyes, looking up to the sky and laughing, and said, "Okay! Cao Zixuan, you are very surprised to teach Zhang. Let's return to Sui County together, if you want to take revenge, no matter what the means, Zhang will take it. If you want to repay the favor, you don't have to, Zhang came with a heart of atonement, and the act of saving you is only selfish, not a favor. ”

Cao Ang was indifferent, and said slowly but forcefully: "Regardless of whether you have the intention to kill or not, if you kill Dian Wei and An Min, I will regard you as an enemy." Whatever your intentions may have or not, if you save me, I will consider you a benefactor. Kindness and hatred may be different for you, but they are not different for me. ”
