Chapter 336: Zhang Xiu surrenders
On top of Wancheng, after so many days of war, all the Wancheng soldiers were tired. But having said that, all the soldiers still mentioned the remaining physical strength, after all, the situation is urgent now, and if there is any accident, their own lives will be in danger.
And at this time, a soldier suddenly heard some of the same noise under the city wall, and when he heard this action, the soldier was stunned. Then I heard him shout in a panic: "It's not good, there is an enemy attack." Hearing the soldier's words, all the guards on the city wall panicked.
However, after working for a long time, I didn't see any of the same actions under the city walls. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to solve it, and at this time, Zhang Xiu walked up to the city wearing armor.
"What happened?" Seeing that the city wall was very flustered, but nothing happened, Zhang Xiu's mood was very bad. A few days of war had already made Zhang Xiu irritable, and a few days after he fell asleep, someone informed him that it was Cao's army attacking Wancheng at night. Hearing this, Zhang Xiu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the city wall, but nothing happened, which made Zhang Xiu happy.
"Didn't you say that the Cao army attacked at night, what about the people?" Zhang Xiu pulled over a soldier beside him and asked angrily.
The soldier was pulled by Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu questioned him in such an angry spoken language, which made the soldier frightened, and he squeaked for a long time without saying a reason.
"Waste." Zhang Xiu threw the soldier away, and then was about to turn around and walk down the city, but at this time, Zhang Xiu suddenly heard some strange actions under the city wall. Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiu hurriedly came to the edge of the city, looked at the city through the female wall, and through the dark night, Zhang Xiu found that a figure was standing under the wall of Wancheng.
Looking at this figure, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt a little familiar. Suddenly, Zhang Xiuwei had an idea, and then hurriedly said: "Is the city Wenhe? Zhang Xiu didn't know why she asked this, but she blurted out these words.
There was silence under the city wall for a moment, and then Jia Xu under the city suddenly spoke: "Lord, it is me, and I hope that the lord will take me into the city." ”
How could Zhang Xiu hear Jia Xu's voice wrongly, and Zhang Xiu was immediately overjoyed when he was sure that it was Jia Xu who was under the city wall. But after a while, Zhang Xiu thought of one more thing, Jia Xu was not captured by Cao Jun, and why did he appear here.
However, this idea only flashed in Zhang Xiu's mind for a moment, and then it was diluted by joy. Jia Xu can come back, this is definitely a happy thing. Then Zhang Xiu hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him: "Quick, quickly put down the hanging basket and catch the general." Although Zhang Xiu was pleased, he still needed to be careful.
The soldiers heard Zhang Xiu's words and hurriedly put down the hanging basket. A moment later, Jia Xu was slowly pulled up the city wall by the Chinese.
Through a glimmer of firelight, Zhang Xiu could see that Jia Xu's face was very poor, so in order to ensure that Jia Xu was fine, Zhang Xiu hurriedly ordered someone to help Jia Xu get off the city wall, and used the fastest speed to order someone to ask for a doctor. Although Jia Xu had something to say to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu did not give Jia Xu this time, and within a moment Jia Xu was taken away, and there was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the next day, Zhao Fei ordered people to hang up the war-free card. said that it was to let the soldiers rest for a day, but in fact, it was to give Jia Xu time, hoping that Jia Xu could persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender the city.
Regarding the abnormal situation of Cao Jun outside the city, Zhang Xiujun on the city wall was overjoyed, but they wished that Cao Jun would be stable. So when Zhang Xiujun on the city wall learned that Cao Jun was hanging a free battle card, he naturally ran to tell him.
In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu also got the news. At first, he was puzzled by this, thinking that this was Cao Jun's treacherous plan, so instead of relaxing, he ordered people to take strict precautions. But it wasn't until the sun was rising that Cao Jun still didn't see any movements, and at this time Zhang Xiu realized that Cao Jun seemed to be real.
However, Zhang Xiu expressed doubts about Cao Jun's approach, after all, Cao Jun was strong at this time, and Cao Jun did not attack the city in one go, which would obviously weaken this momentum, with Zhao Fei's talent, he would definitely not do such careless things, so he had to make Zhang Xiu suspicious.
"Could it be that this matter has something to do with Wen He?" Zhang Xiu muttered. Zhang Xiu couldn't help but think so about this, after all, Jia Xu came back with a little weirdness.
Just when Zhang Xiu had a headache about this, he suddenly heard the soldiers outside the door say: "Lord, the military advisor asks to see!" ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Please." ”
Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, the aspect was opened, and then Jia Xu walked in alone.
At this time, Jia Xu's face was still a little pale, and Zhang Xiu said with some concern: "The military advisor is in poor health, and he still needs to rest for a few more days." ”
"I can't die." Jia Xu said self-deprecatingly, and then said: "And this matter is a matter of human life." ”
Hearing Jia Xu say this, Zhang Xiu's expression also became solemn. At this time, he could already feel that Jia Xu had changed from before. But he was not afraid of this, after all, he had practiced martial arts for many years, how could he be afraid of a Wenruo scholar who was powerless.
"It's good that Wen He has something to say, you and I have been a monarch for many years, what else can't you say." Zhang Xiu's face was expressionless, and he looked very calm.
Jia Xu was naturally not afraid of Zhang Xiu, and then said: "I have already told the lord that I want the lord to surrender the city, but why does the lord still want to compete with Cao Gong?" Cao's army is strong, and our army has suffered setbacks and poor morale, and the confrontation with Cao's army is bound to be defeated and invincible. Moreover, after a few days of confrontation, Cao's army has already gained the upper hand, and he is afraid that in a few days of death, the lord will be destroyed and killed. ”
Although Jia Xu's words are not popular, they are true. And Zhang Xiu also agreed with Jia Xu's words very much, but hearing Jia Xu say this, Zhang Xiu was still a little unhappy. After all, the reason why Zhang Xiu did this was not for Jia Xu.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't speak, Jia Xu said again: "I hope that the lord will think twice before acting, for the whole city and for himself." Jia Xu stared at Zhang Xiu, hoping that Zhang Xiu would be able to figure it out.
As Jia Xu's words fell, the entire room suddenly fell silent. Zhang Xiu was thinking, he was thinking about the pros and cons. If Jia Xu had no other thoughts, Zhang Xiu would definitely agree without hesitation, but now Jia Xu obviously has a difference in his heart, so he doesn't dare to believe Jia Xu's words at this time.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and said: "How can I know that as long as I am willing to abandon the city and surrender, Cao Jun will be able to prevent me from dying?" In the end, Zhang Xiu still said it, after all, he was still young, although he was conscious, but he didn't want to die. Defending Wancheng is obviously a dead end, but if you abandon the city and run away, you will still be under the fence, so after thinking about it, it is better to listen to Jia Xu's words and surrender to Cao Cao.
Hearing Zhang Xiu say this, Jia Xu knew that his affairs had been completed, after all, he was very good at Zhang Xiu's character.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have seen Zhao Fei, the chief general of the Cao army, and this person is acting above board. Although I and Zhao Fei are one-sided friends, I admire him very much. Jia Xu said sincerely. Jia Xu is arrogant and rarely admires others, and Zhao Fei is the person Jia Xu admires.
Zhang Xiu still didn't speak, and then Jia Xu said again: "Don't worry, the lord, I will guarantee with my life that the lord is fine." ”
Zhang Xiu pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will listen to Wen He's words." ”
Seeing that Zhang Xiu finally agreed, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said: "Then I will thank the lord for the soldiers and the situation of the whole city, so I will go out of the city to inform Cao Jun." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded, but seeing that Jia Xu's body was so weak, Zhang Xiu opened his mouth again: "Wenhe's body is so weak, let's rest for a few days, otherwise, I'm afraid that Wenhe won't be able to bear his body." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I know in my heart, in order to be able to end the war earlier, I still act early. As the saying goes, if it's late, it will lead to disaster, so I ended this matter earlier. Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, and after finishing speaking, Jia Xu stood up and prepared to leave the city.
"Someone, escort the military division out of the city." Zhang Xiu watched Jia Xu stand up tremblingly, and hurriedly yelled outside the house.
The soldiers outside the door heard Zhang Xiu's words, and hurriedly came in, and several soldiers entered the house to support Jia Xu. Subsequently, several soldiers helped Jia Xu out of Wancheng.
Outside the city, Zhao Fei knelt alone in the camp tent of Cao Jun Zhao Fei. Jia Xu has been gone for a day, and Zhao Fei has also been worried for a day. Although Zhao Fei did not doubt that Jia Xu would deliberately deceive himself, he was worried that Zhang Xiu would be unfavorable to Jia Xu.
Suddenly, Zhao Fei heard someone outside the tent tell that someone had come out in the middle of the completion, and he came straight to his tent.
Hearing this news, Zhao Fei was immediately overjoyed. It was obvious that Jia Xu had done the thing, and Zhao Fei was naturally happy about it. Then Zhao Fei said: "After the person comes, wait for him to come to my camp." ”
When the soldiers heard Zhao Fei's words, they hurriedly went down to prepare, and after a while, someone came to report that someone had brought it.
Zhao Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly let Jia Xu into the big tent. Looking at Jia Xu with a happy face, Zhao Fei opened his mouth and said, "How are things going with Wenhe?" ”
Jia Xu showed a little joy on his face, and then said: "Live up to the trust of the lord, I finally persuaded the lord, he has promised me to surrender, but the lord must agree, and he must protect the lord's life." ”
"Please rest assured that I will hold Zhang Xiu's life. And my lord Mengde likes talents the most, and he will not die for this with Zhang Xiuzhi's talent, but will be on the rise from now on. Zhao Fei said to Jia Xu. Zhang Xiu is also a talent, and according to legend, he is still Tong Yuan's apprentice.
If this is true, then Tong Yuan is Zhao Yun's senior brother, if this is the case, then he still has some relationship with Zhang Xiu.
