Chapter 231: Wancheng's Affair

Zhang Xiu raised troops from Wancheng to attack Cao Cao, and he was also like a bamboo, which is also related to the fact that Cao Ren, the chief officer of Fengqiu, does not have much experience, although he is a general, but everything must have an evolution, transformation process!

After a few defeats, Cao Ren no longer cared about other things, and concentrated on holding the Fengqiu, waiting for Cao Cao's arrival, which was the best strategy to keep the cause of change; The northwest of Yuzhou is once the territory of Yuan Shu, which has been dilapidated due to famine and locust plague, so it is not very important, but as a barrier to Liu Biao in the south, Cao Ren is also a comprehensive chief official, not only in the military war, but also in internal affairs, governance of the people is also a small achievement; He gathered the scarce people together and organized production and labor by the government, which was easy to manage and reduced the occurrence of contradictions. However, it is said that Cao Cao came to Fengqiu in only one day from Xuchang, and the army led by him also advanced south without stopping, and encountered Zhang Xiu in Kunyang a day later; Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are only 30,000 people, many of whom are newly recruited young and strong in Wancheng, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. Think that at the beginning, there were more than 30,000 people in that army he pulled, and now? On the way to migrate, I ran a part, and I had an inexplicable fight with Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, and I lost a lot, and about half of it was left; On the other hand, Cao Cao's army is a well-trained elite, an elite who has seen blood, has been on the battlefield, and has gone through forbidden exercises! In addition, there are tens of thousands of troops and horses under Cao Ren, with a total strength of 50,000 or 60,000 people; Boss Cao didn't say a word, and directly defeated Zhang Xiu in Kunyang with the strategy of crushing with troops, and defeated Zhang Xiu in the second time in the county, and forced Zhang Xiu to return the same way all the way! It's a pity that Cao Ren, who was tasked with the task of sneaking up on Wancheng, failed again; Even so, Cao Cao has an absolute advantage and controls the direction of the entire battle, unless Liu Biao of Jingzhou does not hesitate to tear off his face and become an enemy of Cao Cao!

But at this time, Cao Cao was a succession of battles, fierce and powerful, and when he was old, he always wanted to be stable, and his courage was gone, Liu Biao didn't dare!

In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu borrowed wine to kill his sorrows and drank decadently, thinking that he Zhang Xiu, whether it was martial arts or military strategy, although it was not the best in the world, it was also rare in the world! Why is this bad luck?

At the beginning, I saw that Dong Zhuo was a good guy, holding the power of Liangzhou soldiers and horses, and the 300,000 roaring army under his command was even more awesome and coaxing, and he also had the courage to be a person, hoping that he could make a career by taking refuge in him, even if he had a little notoriety on his back, it didn't matter, a manly man!

It's a good thing, one wrong step, one wrong step! Who would have thought that this Dong Zhuo's mud would not be able to support the wall like this! Oh yes! Three years ago, those 300,000 troops were enough to sweep through the entire Han Dynasty! Which one of Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Li Dao, and Guo Yan is not a capable general?

Let's talk about Li Ru and Jia Xu at the beginning, which one is not a top resourceful? This bastard knows that thinking about the little thing in the crotch of his pants, it doesn't matter if he loses his life, why should he still affect us?

The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhang Xiu inevitably drank a few more sips, remembering his uncle who died in Jingzhou a year ago, who was no different from his father! If you say two words of humility, you can take someone's father's life?

Dong Zhuo! A son of a son who can't hold up the wall with mud! Li Dao and Guo Yan, two stupid pigs! Liu Biao! Slut! Hypocrite! And that Cao Cao! It's not a good bird either! Every single one is a good thing! Zhang Xiu scolded these people 10,000 times in his heart; Reaching out to take off the tiger head swallowing gold gun on the gun rack, Zhang Xiu stroked the gun body like a child, his eyes suddenly became sharp, the spear stabbed out like a dragon and a phoenix, and a set of beautiful and murderous birds danced towards the phoenix spear under the moonlight; "Bang Bang!" I don't know when a Confucian scholar with a gloomy face and a strange appearance stood behind him; "Mr. Wenhe!" , a set of marksmanship, Zhang Xiujiu woke up, and saw the person respectfully holding his hand and bowing, in his heart, this breezy old man is a fairy-like figure, but this person is not willing to talk much, the relationship between them is more like a collaborator; "Why doesn't Mr. rest at such a late hour? Outside the city, Cao Jun is eyeing the tiger, thinking that there will be a fierce battle tomorrow! Everything depends on Mr. in the future, if Mr. is not in good spirits, it is not good! Zhang Xiu said; Jia Xu looked at the full moon in the sky, tightened the clothes on his body, sighed, turned his head and said softly: "Listen to my advice!" Stop it! Surrender! ”

"Huh?" , Zhang Xiu's mind obviously couldn't turn, and he was stunned on the spot, as if he hadn't heard it; "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, there is a lot of fate between you and me, let me tell you! You are a general, not a monarch, you know that? In this troubled world, a general is a general, and he can't become a monarch! ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, it is indeed easy to be a general, but the monarch is very tired, so he said that his current situation is that he has to make his own decisions about everything and everything has to be considered by himself, tired!

"Since you can't become a monarch, then you should keep your duty and don't think about it again!" , Jia Xu continued slowly: "There are only two ways to survive in troubled times, one is to become a strong person, and the other is to rely on the strong, and this strong person represents not an ordinary person, but a person who may control the whole world in the future!" Otherwise, you and I can't be called strong! ”

"Please help me choose!" , Zhang Xiu said respectfully, he is not a foolish person, he understands Jia Xu's meaning, if you talk about resourcefulness and people's vision, Zhang Xiu knows that he can't beat Jia Xu, and it is inevitable to ask him for advice and ask him to show him a clear way; "Today, there are only those who have the foundation and the ability to dominate the Dao Hegemony: Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang!" , Jia Xu said leisurely; "What about Gongsun Zan in Youzhou and Liu Xuande in Xuzhou? And Lu Bu! Zhang Xiu couldn't help but interject; Gongsun Chan and Lu Bu joined forces to make a lot of fun in Jizhou, but in my opinion, they will be defeated in just a few days, and their combined 200,000 military horses will not escape the fate of falling apart! Gongsun Zan is good at fighting but loves to kill, Lu Bu is brave but lacks strategy, just like you, he is just a general, Liu Bei of Xuzhou looks at the enemies around him! Yanzhou Cao Cao, Yangzhou Yuan Shu, Hebei Yuan Shao! These three people, with his current strength", Jia Xu shook his head when he said this: "If you want to dominate the world, you must not only look at the military strength, but also look at the comprehensive strength, whether the land is broad, whether the population is shady, whether the government decree is clear and multifaceted; Yangzhou Yuan Shu is not considered, although he has capital, but he squandered too much, sooner or later he will not have to die!

Yizhou Liu Zhang is still young, judging by his behavior, he is just a dog guarding the household! Jingzhou Liu Biao, he was not bad a few years ago, but over the years, he has become more and more fond of some traitorous villains, and he likes to tout, and he relies on the support of the scholars in Jingzhou, and outsiders can't stand up at all; I am optimistic about Yuan Shao of Hebei and Cao Cao of Yanzhou! However, I advise the general to choose Cao Cao is the best! Yuan Shao is powerful, even if we go, we can't get a high position, and Cao Cao is far worse than Yuan Shao, we go to send charcoal in the snow, one is to send charcoal in the snow, the other is the icing on the cake, how to choose depends on you! ”

Jia Xu turned around and walked towards the inner hall, walked a few steps and said, "I have never been willing to talk to people like this, you know!" ”

Zhang Xiu understood that Jia Xu's words would definitely not be easy to say, and saying it meant that he intended to get closer to him, perhaps so that they would take care of themselves in the same force in the future?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xiu sighed: "That's it! That's it! That's it! People are self-aware! Surrender and surrender! It's also a quiet picture! ”

When the first rays of the morning sun shone down, Cao Cao suddenly woke up, because the sun was accompanied by the thunderous drums, Cao Cao quickly got up, the guards quickly put on his armor, holding the sword in his hand, Cao Cao strode out; Yu Ban, Cao Ren, and Wu Anguo had already finished rectifying their soldiers, the camp gate slowly opened, the war drums roared in an instant, and Cao Jun fought with a serious attitude; It's a pity that they don't seem to be right, so let's play with us? Do you still want to play heads-up? Even if it's a heads-up, what kind of formation is there a strategist behind you! The sergeants were powerless to complain; "Bang bang!" , Zhang Xiu rode a horse and trotted all the way to Cao Cao, behind Cao Cao Xu Chu and Dian Wei were suddenly vigilant with knives and halberds, although they could beat Zhang Xiu, but they didn't dare to underestimate this Northland Gun King, God knows that something will not happen to a bad Cao Lao; "Meng Degong! Let's talk about it! Zhang Xiu said with a smile in front of him; Cao Cao thought for a moment when he saw Zhang Xiu like this, rode over, and at the same time stopped Xu Chu and Dian Wei who wanted to follow behind him; "Hahaha!" , Zhang Xiu laughed, holding the tiger head swallowing golden gun tightly in his hand, with a murderous face: "Meng Degong is not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Hahaha!" , Cao Cao also laughed: "If you don't even have this bit of courage, how can you clear the world and sweep the world?" ”

Zhang Xiu finally knew what was the difference between him and Cao Cao, and this courage alone was enough to convince people! As everyone knows, Cao Cao's palms are sweating! Zhang Xiu threw down his weapon and jumped off the horse: "There was a lot of offense before!" Cao Gong Shenwei, begging to surrender below! ”

"What?" , don't talk about other people, at this moment, Cao Cao is also a little head-arrested, what does this mean? He was still killed and killed last night, and at this time, Cao Cao, who was a hundred steps away, didn't understand, could this be the legendary Wang Ba's spirit? Come and bow down?

In fact, it's very simple to think about it, Zhang Xiu is an outsider, and his food and salary depend on Liu Biao, and Liu Biao only thinks that he is a watchdog to guard against Cao Cao in the north, Zhang Xiu and him are just using each other, not to mention that there is a grudge between the two sides to kill their father, and Cao Cao is very rich, who to choose? Isn't that obvious?

Wait, there's a secret! Maybe Liu Biao can be crowned with a title - "Daddy killer!" He killed two people's fathers! It's all famous! Sun Ce's father, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian! Zhang Ji, the "father" of Zhang Xiu, the gun king of the Northland!

Boy! It's a heroic knife who doesn't kill the nameless father! It's far away, in short, Zhang Xiu's surrender is reasonable no matter how you look at it, and this matter was quickly resolved, and there was no danger expected by Li Yu at all, which made Cao Cao want to laugh in his heart, he finally saw that Li Yu was also not sure about it!

Cao Cao, who finally came out once, originally planned to drag on for a few days, on the one hand, he also relaxed and relaxed, tasted the taste of being a shopkeeper, and on the other hand, he also acted cheaply for Li Yu in Xuchang City, but unexpectedly

"Huaide's means are violent, bloodbathing Xuchang, when Zhao Wen of the three companies of the dynasty is killed on the spot, Xu Du is afraid of changes, and I hope that the lord will return quickly and make a decision!" , This letter is a message jointly sent by Guo Jia and Man Chong, the two people who have the most right to speak in Xu Du except Li Yu, and even Cao Cao can't sit still at this moment!

This living ancestor, alas! told you to weaken the strength of the imperial party, is that what you did? Raise the butcher's knife and you're done? I've got to wipe your ass! Cao Cao was so depressed in his heart, he just wanted to stop for two days, and this kind of thing happened, come on! Vacation plans canceled, go home!

Go back and go back, the things here still have to be explained, this time Cao Cao gained a huge harvest, one came to recruit Zhang Xiu, a fierce general, and 30,000 soldiers and horses under him, two to get Wancheng, a place with an extremely important strategic position, and three to have the poison Jia Xu in the pocket, this trip is not worthwhile!

Compared with Wancheng and Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao thinks that Jia Xu is the most important, because he himself once talked about this person when Li Yu was chatting, and Li Yu was amazed when he talked about him, thinking that he was at least a character who could be compared with Guo Jia, and even he himself could not be compared with him, which shows that he was very respected; Zhang Xiu, newly surrendered, in order to dispel his worries and uneasiness, Cao Cao decided to let him continue to garrison Wancheng to guard against Liu Biao in the south, anyway, Zhang Xiu's lifeblood of grain and grass was in his hands, and then transferred Jia Xu away from him, so that without this guy who is as wise as a demon, Zhang Xiu will not be able to toss any waves; Boss Cao's little abacus made a crackling sound, and he was very shrewd;

The chaotic situation in the northern land has never been improved, even Cao Cao, who seems to have the smallest action, has fought with Liu Bei in Xuzhou from time to time, not to mention Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan Yuan Shao, who have been turned upside down in Jizhou; Yuan Shao decisively adopted Li Yu's opinion and cut off the connection between Gongsun Chan and LΓΌ Bu, Gongsun Zan was forced to flee back to Youzhou in desperation, and LΓΌ Bu also fell into the chaotic battle of all the soldiers in Jizhou, and finally LΓΌ Bu, who was unable to support it, fled to Xuzhou with his military horses; Except for Lu Bu, who took 80,000 horses and horses, most of the 200,000 cavalry of the Youhe Alliance Army were captured by Yuan Shao, further strengthening his strength; Of course, Jizhou, as the main battlefield, is inevitably unlucky, at least within three or two years, it will not be able to recover its vitality, and it will not meet the original standard.
