At the second watch of the night, Xun You took Xu Chu and Dian Wei to the prime minister's mansion in a hurry, and came to the door of Cao Cao's bedroom: "Has the prime minister slept?" Xun You asked, his face couldn't hide his anxiety; The guard said: "The prime minister just slept for an hour or so, Lord Xun? You don't know the rules of the prime minister."

Xun You looked at Xu Chu, Xu Chu pulled the guards aside and escorted Xun You directly, at this time, it is still necessary to distinguish which is more important, with Xu Chu's person, he would rather be suspicious of Cao Cao than let Cao Cao die in vain; Cao Cao's suspicions became more and more serious, and he said to others: "I killed people in my dreams!" As a result, he really killed one of the guards who approached him while he was sleeping, and everyone was afraid, so they did not dare to approach him, which was a lie and a lie that he had woven with one hand; After Xun You entered, he hurriedly shouted: "Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”

"Ahh , Cao Cao turned his back to Xun You, and suddenly stabbed him with a dagger, and Xun You shouted in fright: "Prime Minister!" It's me! Xun You! I have something important to report! ”

"Oh! Xun You! Cao Cao suddenly realized: "What's wrong?" Why are you so alarmed? ”

I was so scared by him, it's no wonder I didn't panic!

Xun Yu said hurriedly: "The waiter Huang Kui secretly colluded with Zhang Xiu outside the city, and wanted to raise fire as a signal to attack Xuchang on the third watch tonight!" Liu Bei finally made a move, he asked Zhang Xiu to attack Xuchang, and he had already crossed several blockade lines silently, just outside the city! ”

"What? And such things? Is the message reliable? Cao Cao was shocked, and then asked, "How many changes are now?" ”

"The secret report of Miao Ze, the brother-in-law of the squire Huang Kui, should be reliable! About two watches! Xun You arched his hand: "The generals outside the prime minister's door are waiting!" ”

"Call them all in!" , With Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Shi Lian, and Han Hao entered one after another, waiting for Cao Cao's edict; "Miao Ze is the city gate official in the south of Xuchang City, so Zhang Xiu must have entered from the south gate! Xu Chu, you take 500 people to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dian Wei you take 5,000 people to ambush in the South Gate Mirror, and Shi Lian, you take 5,000 people to wait for them on the main street! Han Hao, immediately take my talisman, mobilize military horses from the Dongda Camp outside the city, 10,000, and outflank them from behind"; "The post-80s Shaolin abbot is gone!"

"No!" , Xun Yu came out with the order;

When it came to the third watch, a military horse in the shadows outside the city slowly approached Xuchang City, Zhang Xiu, who was dressed in gold armor, was particularly conspicuous, he turned around and asked Hu Che'er beside him: "What time is it now?" ”

"General! It's the third watch! Hu Che'er replied angrily, only he has been following Zhang Xiu, an unlucky person, and has never complained; Zhang Xiu squinted at the majestic Xuchang City, and said in her heart: Either you die or I die! "Ignition!"

With a loud shout, the sergeant behind him lit three torches, and the fire oil burst into a crackling sound in the burning, just like Zhang Xiu's mood, which could not be calm; "Squeak-quack!" , The door slowly opened, Zhang Xiu had some joy, and rode his horse to run: "Kill-!" ”

After rushing into the city of Xuchang, there was silence, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came to mind outside the city gate, and the same was true of the roads in the city, Zhang Xiu was shocked: "It's a plan!" ”

He has only one choice now, and that is to kill Cao Cao, and there is only one choice, and that is the best choice! Let's go!

The prime minister's mansion was already brightly lit, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, with a horizontal sword on his knees, and his subordinates stood on both sides, listening to the shouts of killing from far and near, someone cautiously suggested: "Prime Minister!" If you don't sit in danger, you might as well hide in the backyard, right? ”

"Huh?" , Cao Cao's eyes widened angrily: "What did you say?" This is my capital! You told me to hide in the backyard? Be shameless! I'm sitting right here! What kind of thing is Zhang Xiu? I have Admiral Xu Chu, Admiral Dian Wei! Kill him like a pig and a dog! ”

"Report!" There was a commotion outside the door, the generals drew their swords one after another, and the herald said that he was under great pressure and knelt down directly: "My lord!" Zhang Xiu has already fought his way out of the encirclement and came straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

"Dian Wei, Shi Lian, and Han Hao have tens of thousands of horses, but they can't stop Zhang Xiu's five thousand horses?" , Cao Cao was surprised; "Most of the 5,000 men and horses led by Zhang Xiu's anti-thieves are Xiliang Xiaocai, either the commander or the chief, all of them have excellent martial arts, and they will not retreat in a desperate battle, and our army cannot be annihilated for a while!"

"I underestimate Zhang Xiu!" , Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed; There was a commotion outside the door, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion became more and more nervous, and after a while, Xu Chu came in with a bloody face, holding a human head in his hand: "Lord!" This is the head of Zhang Xiu's general, Hu Che'er! ”

"What's the use of him? What about Zhang Xiu? Ran away? Cao Cao asked; Xu Chu smiled, quite rampant: "Hahaha! Bring it on! ”

Compared with a few years ago, Zhang Xiu is getting older and older, and the gray hair in his hair stands in a very heavy proportion, you must know that he is only thirty-five or sixteen years old!

Cao Cao saw Zhang Xiu, Huo Ran got up and pointed at Zhang Xiu and said, "Zhang Xiu! I treated you well at the beginning, why did you betray me? Yes? You also killed my son! How can I spare you? ”

Zhang Xiu's voice was desolate: "Cao Cao, treat me well?" Do you dare to say this louder? Bah! You shameless thief! I can't wait to sleep on your skin and eat your meat! I only hate in my heart! Now in your hands, I only hate God for treating me unfairly! But if you want to die quickly, there is nothing else to ask for! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Another bed, carnivore!" Zhang Xiu! You're thinking too much! Today I am going to avenge Ang'er! You should be glad it fell into my hands! If it falls into the hands of Li Huaide! He will torture you with a criminal law that is crueler than a thousand cuts! Come! Five horses split into corpses! Kill it instantly! Hang his head at the south gate of Xuchang City to deter those Xiaoxiao! ”

"I just hate to be born at the wrong time! Cease! Cease! Cease! Hahaha", Zhang Xiuxin is dead; He was wrong from the beginning, but he finally took a step to play chess, but he was forced to reverse by Cao Cao; Zhang Xiu is not a person who endures humiliation and steals life, so he would rather die standing than live on his knees!

A few months later, after the news of Zhang Xiu's death reached the ears of Jia Xu in Jizhou, the old gentleman wore linen and filial piety, and tears flowed, after all, Zhang Xiu had treated him well

Anyway, Zhang Xiu died, and he died very sadly;
