Chapter 382: Guandu (Final)

Zhang Xiu's arrival did relieve Cao Cao's pressure a lot. ā—Ž.zbzw.ā—Ž

He was also very happy, personally went out of the city to greet Zhang Xiu, and even set up a banquet in the city of Xu to entertain Zhang Xiu.

Speaking of Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao seems to rely on him very much on the surface, but he always has a sense of precaution in his heart......

Zhang Xiu, a native of Wuwei, was the nephew of Zhang Ji, a hussar general during the Dong Zhuo period.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others besieged Chang'an, and Zhang Xiu was promoted to the general of Jianzhong and Xuanwei Hou with his military merits. However, Zhang Ji and Li Dao Guo fell out later, so they went to Jingzhou alone with soldiers and horses, but when they attacked the city, they were shot by stray arrows.

After Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu took over his team and stationed in Wancheng to ally with Liu Biao.

In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went on a southern expedition, but because he snatched Zhang Xiu's aunt Mrs. Zou, Zhang Xiu was furious and attacked Cao Cao. This is the most famous battle of Wan in history. In this battle, Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and his beloved general Dian Wei.

Later, Zhang Xiu obeyed Jia Xu's Jian yƬ and surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very happy, and let his son marry Zhang Xiu's daughter, and worship Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwu.

During the first battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiu made great contributions and was named the general of Poqiang.

In everyone's eyes, this seems to be a model for monarchs and ministers.

But in fact, whether it is Cao Cao or Zhang Xiu, they are jealous of each other.

Especially Zhang Xiu, who has always been very apprehensive. Anyway, he killed Cao Cao's eldest son, and because of this incident, Cao Cao's family had problems and separated from Mrs. Ding. Even if Cao Cao didn't pay attention to this matter, Zhang Xiu was always wary in his heart. This time, Cao Cao transferred Zhang Xiu from Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be a little lazy, so he immediately rushed to obey the order.

At the banquet, Cao Cao looked very happy and exchanged cups with Zhang Xiu.

Both sides were very happy, and it was immediately finalized, and Zhang Xiu set up camp early the next morning and rushed to Guandu to participate in the battle.

After the banquet, Cao Cao returned to the back house......

In the second half of the night, he suddenly felt a sharp abdominal pain. The abdominal pain made Cao Cao's face pale, and there was no blood at all. Mrs. Huan was also woken up, and she was also startled by Cao Cao's pale face, and hurriedly ran to inform Mrs. Bian. Mrs. Bian came to the bed, but saw that Cao Cao was so painful that she couldn't speak. Seeing this situation, Mrs. Bian was also taken aback, and hurriedly instructed her retainers: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find Doctor Ji and ask him to treat Sikong...... This is good, how can it have abdominal pain? ā€

Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Bian's hand.

"Sikong, you ......"

Cao Cao shook his head again and again, and said in an extremely weak voice: "Hugh is going to find Yoshimoto, and immediately send someone to inform Wen Ruo to come." ā€

"But ......"

"Hugh is long-winded!"

Cao Cao shouted angrily, but he seemed to use all his strength.

Mrs. Bian hurriedly agreed and asked people to invite Xun Yu to come.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Since he was unwell, why didn't he let the concubine come to Yoshimoto for treatment? ā€

"Madam, immediately send someone to Gibbon's house and take down that Gibbon!"

"Huh?"

"Don't be verbose...... It's that Gibbon who is doing it, and you must not let this person go. ā€

Cao Cao has been taking Jimoto to prescribe him cold soup recently, and his headache has improved a lot. Today, a banquet was held in the house, and he drank a bowl of cold soup before the banquet...... The wine and food in Cao's Mansion will naturally not have any problems. There can only be one explanation for the sudden abdominal pain, and that is that there is something wrong with Yoshimoto's chill soup. But the problem is that when Cao Cao served the cold soup, Yoshimoto also drank a lot in front of him. If there was really a problem with the cold soup, why did Yoshimoto dare to take it in front of Cao Cao?

Cao Cao couldn't understand the mystery of this, but he was sure that this matter must be related to Gibbon.

He struggled to sit up, and just wanted to speak, but heard a commotion outside the door, followed by a man with Cao Zhi and a boy breaking into the room, kneeling down on one knee and saying: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled, joined forces with the infantry captain Jin Yi, and attacked the city. ā€

Zhang Xiu, rebellion?

After Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't understand what was going on.

He hurriedly said, "Madam, go and gather everyone together, let's leave as much as we can." ā€

The troops in Xu Ducheng were a little weak, and Cao Cao Wan didn't expect that Jin Yi would unite with Zhang Xiu to rebel.

Ji Ben, Jin Yi, Zhang Xiu, Emperor Han......

When Cao Cao connected these four people in series, he immediately woke up to the problem. For a long time, Cao Cao always felt that there was a force in Xu Ducheng that threatened him, but he couldn't find a clue. He even set his eyes on Fu Wan, the auxiliary general, for a while, but later found that Fu Wan had always been very honest and had no contact with anyone...... After Wang Zitai was killed, Jia Xu found a clue, but then the clue was interrupted...... Could it be that Liu Chuang and Jin Yi colluded together?

Wrong!

Cao Cao immediately rejected this idea, if Liu Chuang really colluded with Jin Yi and them, he would not have fought hard in Guandu......

In fact, Cao Cao found out that he was confused by Liu Chuang!

He attaches too much importance to Liu Chuang, so he will try his best to find people who have a relationship with Liu Chuang.

But now it seems that Jin Yi and these guys obviously have other plans and want to fish in troubled waters...... But Cao Cao never paid attention.

It's no wonder, who made Jin Yi very low-key on weekdays?

But what if you think about it clearly?

At this time, Cao Cao had already begun to vomit black blood.

The cold soup that Yoshimoto gave him was not poisonous, but after adding a medicinal herb, its properties changed. Of course, if you just take any herb alone, it doesn't matter, the key is that Cao Cao ate wine after that, which stimulates the conflict between the medicinal properties of the herb and the cold soup. Therefore, the key to this is in the wine! Cao Cao had been reluctant to eat alcohol because of headaches, which made Yoshimoto have no chance of being drugged. Today, when he heard that Zhang Xiu had arrived outside the city, although he didn't know that Zhang Xiu was the foreign aid invited by Jin Yi, he also realized that his opportunity had come...... So, he added that herb to the cold soup.

Yoshimoto guessed that Cao Cao would definitely set up a banquet for Zhang Xiu.

As long as he eats wine, he will pull out the medicinal properties of the herbs, which will conflict with the cold soup, so the cold soup will become poison.

It can be said that Yoshimoto took great pains to solve this recipe.

This was the main reason why he was reluctant to do so, because he had to be sure that Cao Cao would drink the wine within six hours after eating the added cold soup. The arrival of Zhang Xiu gave Yoshimoto this opportunity. Although Cao Cao has always been wary of Yoshimoto, he is not a doctor after all, and he is not clear about the properties and pharmacology. In addition, every time he took the medicine, Yoshimoto would use it first, so he was less guarded.

Who knows......

Although Cao Cao didn't understand how Yoshimoto poisoned, he could also understand that this matter must be related to Yoshimoto.

At this time, the shouts of killing outside Sikong Mansion were already shaking the sky.

Cao Cao took advantage of the fact that he was still conscious, and commanded with a strong spirit: "Wang Bi, you immediately gather the soldiers in the palace and protect us to break through." ā€

Wang Bi is the man who followed Cao Zhi, a native of Qian County and a fellow villager of Cao Cao.

This man came from a poor background, but he was known for his extraordinary strength and bravery.

When Cao Cao raised his army, Wang Bi followed Cao Cao, although he was not famous, he was Cao Cao's confidant, and he was even trusted by Cao Cao.

Hearing Cao Cao's order, Wang Bi immediately nodded in agreement.

He went out to gather the soldiers in Sikong's mansion, about 800 people, and returned to the back house.

But at this time, Cao Cao was already in a coma.

Wang Bi had Cao Cao carried to the car, and at the same time, Mrs. Bian and other family members also gathered in the mansion.

Cao Cao likes fishing and has many ladies in the family, but there are not many people who are willing to follow Cao Cao at this time to tell the truth......

In addition to Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Huan, there were only a few women left who gave birth to children for Cao Cao, such as Mrs. Liu.

But even so, there are more than 100 people in the whole family.

The king let them get into the chariot, and then he took his soldiers and rushed out of Cao's mansion with the city gates.

At this time, the city of Xudu was full of flames, and there were chaotic soldiers running around. As soon as the king and the others appeared, they were immediately surrounded by rebels.

Wang Bi crossed the horse and carried the knife, took the Cao Fu soldiers to kill the rebels, and went straight to Zhanghua Gate.

When turning a street, I was confronted by a troop of soldiers.

When the king saw this, he was immediately astonished, and urged his horse to come forward to fight. How do you know that when he arrived at the front of the team, he heard someone on the other side shouting: "Ahead, but the king's book?" ā€

And the king shall look up, and shall shine with torches, and shall recognize the men and horses that are on the other side.

"Meng Kang, come and protect the lord."

The person who came was Hu Wei General Xu Ding, he heard Wang Bi's shout, he was immediately overjoyed, turned his head and said: "Xun Shangshu, it's the lord!" ā€

Xun Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao and others rode out of the team, which also made Wang Bi feel at ease.

"Wang Bi, where is the commonplace?"

"Sikong seems to have been poisoned, and now he is unconscious......

When he was sober, he asked me to protect my wife and sons out of the city, but I didn't want to meet my husband. ā€

Xun Yu couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

To be honest, he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to collude with Jin Yi and others, which caused a big mess tonight. If there is only Jin Yi, Xun Yu is not afraid. But the problem is that with the addition of Zhang Xiu, the soldiers and horses in Xun Yu's hands can't resist the other party.

There is no way, the infantry battalion may be a group of young master soldiers, but the Xiliang soldiers under Zhang Xiu are experienced in a hundred battles.

One side is planning to act, but the other side is defenseless, and the victory or defeat is clear at a glance. In this case, Xun Yu immediately summoned Xu Ding and rushed to meet Cao Cao with the Tiger Guard. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was actually poisoned...... Jin Yi's gang was obviously premeditated.

"Don't panic, everyone is in danger in the city of Xudu, and you can't stay for a long time.

Let's break out of the encirclement first...... I remember that Yan Kuang's department was stationed in Yanling, let's go to Yanling first, find Mr. to treat Sikong, and then recapture Xudu. ā€

After Cao Cao fell into a coma, everyone was six gods and no master.

Now that Xun Yu has stood up, everyone is relieved.

The two groups of men and horses together, there were more than 1,000 people, and they went straight to Zhanghuamen to kill.

At this moment, Zhang Huamen was also in a mess...... Xun Yu waited almost without much effort and rushed out of Zhanghua Gate and walked towards Yanling.

Who knew that he was not far out of the city, and there was the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind him.

"Where to go, Zhang Xiu has been waiting here for a long time!"
