Wei Tao didn't hide too much, and soon this matter spread all over the world, and many people were dumbfounded and didn't dare to respond after hearing this.

However, it is also a wise and resourceful person who thinks so, wondering whether this is really possible to achieve the possibility of annexing it into the Han Dynasty.

For the military generals, one is the merit of founding the country, and the other is the merit of pioneering, opening up the territory, which is not something that can be done in any era.

In fact, after hearing this, even Liu Xie, who already had a grudge against Wei Tao, couldn't help but celebrate in the palace.

After all, Wei Tao was still a Hanchen at this time, after all, this matter was still done when he was the emperor.

Of course, there are also many people who realize how powerful Wei Tao is now, and the Xianbei people have some strength, but in the end, they were easily destroyed by Wei Tao, which really makes people sigh.

Of course, there are also many people who are vigilant about it, if they face Wei Tao's army one day, how can they compete with Wei Tao.

At this time, Wei Tao naturally didn't think about other people's thoughts, and after making sure that everything was on the right track, Wei Tao still returned to Yecheng, Jizhou.

For example, the situation is clear today, Wei Tao sits on the northern rivers and mountains, and can be said to be the largest prince in the world.

The second is Cao Cao, although there is a defeat in the attack on Jiangdong, but Cao Cao, who controls the interior of the Central Plains, will not be much worse than Wei Tao in terms of strength, but compared to Wei Tao's victory in a hundred battles, Cao Cao is obviously still a little behind.

followed by the current Yizhou Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Quan, both of whom can be said to be dominant. Occupy the location, the people. It's easy to take it.

In the end, it is natural to be called a prince all the way to Jingzhou Liu Biao.

Jingzhou was originally a battleground for soldiers. In addition, Jingzhou is rich, and it is also promising, but it is a pity that Liu Biao's name is 'Eight Horses' but in fact it is a 'dog who guards the door behind closed doors', and has been closed to Jingzhou for many years.

It's just that Liu Biao is alive, and others are unwilling to do it.

But in the second year of Wei Tao's reign, the news that Liu Biao was seriously ill and could hardly serve as a director came.

"My lord. If the lord captures Jingzhou, he can destroy Yizhou and seize Jiangdong, and he can encircle Cao Mengde and gradually encroach on it. If you miss such an opportunity and let others seize the land of Jingxiang, then I am afraid that there will be a confrontation between the north and the south, and then the peace in the world may be far away, and please ask the lord to decide. ”

After entering the temple. Zhou Yu opened his mouth like this.

Now Liu Biao is still on the sickbed, and his successor is also undecided. Therefore, no matter which way the princes went, it was impossible for them to attack Jingzhou on a large scale at this time and let others benefit. Originally, our army should naturally continue to wait, but our army went south because of the embroidery blocking the way, if it was not uprooted, then the thing to go south could not be done. It still needs to be decided by the lord long ago. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, although what Zhou Yu said was not too new, but it was indeed true, if he wanted to chase the Central Plains, then he really had to take the first step and pull out the 'nail' of Zhang Xiu.

"What Gong Jin said is not bad, and in the past, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were all subordinates of Dong Zhuo, and they once occupied Chang'an, which can be said to be not a minister, if the lord wants to ask for it, he can also be famous."

At this time, Xun You also spoke, although his face was calm, but he couldn't help but tremble between the words.

Xun You had always been loyal to the heart of the Great Han, and he understood what it would mean to say it, but in the end he still spoke.

"Gongda doesn't have to be like this."

Wei Tao did not answer what they said, but let out a long sigh.

However, in the face of Wei Tao's comfort, Xun You smiled at ease.

"My lord doesn't have to be like this."

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, then smiled, already knowing that even if he didn't untie the knot, Xun You would not be trapped by the knot, so he didn't say much.

"Gongda, Gongjin, I also understand what you mean, since this is the case, then it is to pass on my order, it is to say that the criminal minister Zhang Xiu, who offended Tianwei in the past, has never repented, if he is willing to admit his sin, if not, he will be beaten to Wancheng as a punishment!"

This is just an excuse, even if Zhang Xiu is wrong, it is really not Wei Tao's turn to take care of it, but even if Wei Tao raises troops, he still has to have a reasonable excuse.

After all, at this time, the Son of Heaven did not make an order, but Wei Tao's excuse is not very valid.

But with Wei Tao's order, Zhuge Jin immediately asked for his life, and Wei Tao agreed, and then there were Si Li's soldiers under the leadership of Zhao Yun all the way to Wancheng for the vanguard.

For this battle, Wei Tao has also not waited silently for a period of time, and he has long been preparing for a long time.

That's why under an order, there is a large army to move.

When it was so grandiose and moving, when it was overwhelming along the way, there was already a mess in Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu gathered everyone early to discuss the matter.

"In the past, my uncle led you to the south, and it was not easy for Liu Biao to hand over Wancheng, so that I and others would have a place to live, but now Wei Tao is coming north, with Wei Tao's strength, naturally not to mention, even if we try our best to resist, I am afraid that in the end we will inevitably be defeated, but if it falls, not to mention whether it can be accepted, it is not easy to say just the status."

As soon as Zhang Xiu opened his mouth, he laid out all the problems, his face was quite sad, if he could, he naturally hoped to become a local overlord, but this word already showed that in fact, surrender was not unacceptable.

The former Northland Spear King has been living in Wancheng, and any ambitions have been worn out, so it is normal to say such things.

In fact, it is not only Zhang Xiu, but also these subordinates of Zhang Xiu, but the reputation of persuading the lord to surrender is really not good, even if these people are willing, but it is not easy to announce it.

However, these people are not useless, at least some people said to Zhang Xiu after thinking for a while.

"General, that Wei Tao is strong and strong, and it is difficult for our army to fight the enemy, in that case, why don't the general ask Mr. Wenhe to consult? With the wisdom of Mr. Wenhe, he will definitely be able to point the way for the general. ”

Zhang Xiu only led Wancheng, couldn't be a prince, and didn't have that ambition, so he only let his subordinates call him a general, not a lord.

"How did I forget Mr. Wenhe?"

Hearing his subordinate mention it, the embroidery suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

"Hurry up and ask Mr. Wenhe to ...... No, come with me to Mr. Wenhe! ”

Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, maybe there are not many people who know his ability in this era, but everyone who knows is lamented by his extraordinary resourcefulness.

And his status in Zhang Xiu's army is also quite high, what he said, whether it was Zhang Ji in the past or Zhang Xiu now, has to be taken seriously, and even has a little bit of obedience.

"Wei Tao came north, the purpose is not for the general alone, but the real sword is also aimed at Jing Xiang. However, since General Zhang Ji responded to Liu Biao's words to resist the northern trouble, now that Wei Tao is coming north, the general has to block the front. ”

Jia Xu is also a top strategist, and when he heard Zhang Xiu finish speaking in a hurry, he explained it unhurriedly.

"I also know about this matter, but please ask the general to say, should we wait for the battle or surrender?"

Zhang Xiu's temperament was not so impatient, but now Wei Tao put a lot of pressure on him, which made him unbearable and asked on the spot.

"The general wants to surrender?"

As soon as Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu's words, he understood what he was thinking, but at this time, Jia Xu shook his head.

"No matter what the general is, I can tell you that if the general surrenders without a fight, then I am afraid that there will only be one death."

"What!"

Zhang Xiu was suddenly shocked and said in disbelief.

"Is Wen He's words wrong? Wei Taozhi is in Jingzhou, even if the little Wancheng can be hindered for a while, but it can't be hindered for a lifetime, how can it be so necessary to kill me? Even though when Dong Gong was alive in the past, I fought with him several times, but when it was, I suffered losses again and again, Wei Tao did not suffer any damage, why did he have so much hatred? ”

If it weren't for Jia Xu who was the person who spoke, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu couldn't help but slap him at this time, where would anyone be unwilling to accept surrender, not a war.

But hearing Jia Xu say this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but panic.

"The general doesn't know, these days I have been probed by the general Zhuge Ziyu, although I don't say that I can know everything, but I also know seven or eight points."

Jia Xu said unhurriedly.

"The general's strength is insufficient, and he has the heart of the army, if he is surrendered by the general, it is naturally impossible for the general's subordinates to be used. However, the general surrendered without a fight but had to be reused, but what did the generals under Wei Tao think? At that time, the general will definitely be troubled, and with the general's temperament, I am afraid that in the end, he will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, if the general surrenders without a fight, there is a possibility, one is to take precautions at all times, one is to die if he is not careful, and the other is that the general voluntarily gives up his military power. In this way, although he has no rights in the future, with Wei Tao's mind, the general will definitely not be liquidated in the future, and the wealth of the family can still be preserved. ”

Zhang Xiu was completely stunned on the spot and couldn't speak, he wanted to say that Jia Xu was ridiculous, but he found that he couldn't talk about it, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Jia Xu said was somewhat possible.

I can't make a decision for a while.

If you really want him to give up all military power, life and death are up to others, even if Zhang Xiu is decadent, he is unwilling.

"Mr. Wenhe, is it true that I, Zhang Xiu, have no way out? Doomed to die in a war? ”

"That's not the case, after all, the general has been in Wancheng for a long time, and there are a lot of soldiers under his command, plus the general is also rare, Jiang Ling, so the general still has several roads to choose from, but it depends on the general's wishes."

Jia Xu didn't hide it, and replied directly. (To be continued......)
