Liu Bei got Cao Cao's letter and came to meet him, and Cao Cao treated him as a guest. Liu Bei took out his housekeeping skills and cried to Cao Cao, telling that Yuan Shu was shameless, imprisoned the Son of Heaven and issued edicts indiscriminately, and drove the people to attack the city unkindly. He also said that he had been deceived and had only raised troops to attack before, and he deserved to die for his real crime.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei was sad and tearful, so he believed it and comforted him, so that Liu Bei did not have to worry about it, and invited him to eradicate Yuan Shu and rescue the Son of Heaven. Liu Bei thanked him again and again, and the banquet was dispersed, and Cao Cao personally sent Liu Bei out of the house in the evening.

After Liu Bei left, Xun Yu said: "Liu Xuande is a hero in the world. If you don't plan early, it will be a trouble. ”

Cao Cao nodded silently when he heard this. After a while, Xun Yu came in, and Cao Cao asked, "Wen Ruoshi persuaded me to kill Xuande, what does Gongda think?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord can't!" Liu Xuande is also in trouble, and Yuan Highway is also in great trouble in front of him! The Lord raised the righteous soldiers to eliminate violence for the people, and it was time to recruit Junjie, but no one came to vote. Now Liu Xuande is poor and comes to vote, and he is known as a hero, if he kills him, the heroes of the world will doubt themselves when they hear it, and they dare not come to vote, who will determine the world fairly with the Lord? In order to get rid of the troubles of one person, to block the hope of the four seas, in order to get rid of the troubles in the future, regardless of the great troubles in front of them, this is not the work of a wise man, and I hope that the lord will think twice. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said: "What Gongda said is exactly what I want!" ”

The next day, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to lead the Yuzhou pastor. Cheng Yu secretly advised: "Liu Bei is not under others in the end, it is better to plan early." ”

Cao Cao said: "Now when you are using heroes, you can't kill a person and lose the hope of the world." This is what Gongda and I both mean. So he didn't use Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's plan, he allocated 3,000 soldiers and horses, and sent thousands of grains to Xuande, and ordered him to garrison the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou to prevent Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shuxin was about to recuperate in Xuzhou and did not want to compete with Cao Cao, plus Liu Bei guarded the eastern gateway of Yanzhou for Cao Cao, and the eastern front calmed down and there was no war for the time being. Yuan Shao in the north and Gongsun Chan competed, the battle of Baoqiu was a great victory, Gongsun Chan retreated to Yijing, continued to hold on to Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao's northern front was also safe. Liu Biao in the south is the lord of Shoucheng and has no intention of attacking, and Cao Cao does not have to worry about the south.

The fact that there is nothing to do in the south, north, and east does not mean that there is no war on the western front. Since Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji died successively, Zhang Xiu occupied the land of Chang'an's three auxiliaries, using Li Ru as a strategist and Hu Che'er as a general, gradually accumulating strength and plumping wings. While?? Taking advantage of the emptiness of the division, he successively occupied Hongnong, Nanyang and other places, and divided the division with Cao Cao. Then the two sides went on a small-scale border war.

Now that Cao Cao has nothing to do on three sides, he wants to take the opportunity to send troops to subdue Zhang Xiu and take the place of his subordinates. So he raised 100,000 troops to ask Zhang Xiu, ordered Xiahoudun to be the vanguard, and the military horses went to the underwater village.

When Zhang Xiu heard that Cao Cao's soldiers had arrived, he used all his troops and horses to greet him. Li Ru persuaded Zhang Xiudao: "When the princes compete today, the general's land is not wide, the general's general is not many, the general's army is not strong, and the general's name is not obvious, why fight with the princes for the world?" Looking at the princes of the world, there are only a few people who can level the world, there are Yuan Benchu in the north, Nanguanghua in the south, Cao Mengde and Yuan Highway, and the rest are incompetent. Now that Cao's army is large and cannot be matched, why don't the generals take the opportunity to raise troops to help him dominate the world. ”

"How does Wen Xiansheng know that Cao Mengde can dominate the world?" Zhang Xiu also has self-knowledge, before he was a general under Li Dao, Zhang Ji and others, but now he has become a prince who is obviously powerless, if it is not for Li Ru's complementarity, he can't even govern this state well, let alone govern the world. Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not object to Li Ru's proposal, but he didn't know if Cao Cao was the best candidate.

Li Ru said: "Although I mentioned the four of them, in fact, the ones who can really win the world are none other than Cao Mengde and Nan Guanghua. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are not compatible, how can they tolerate the heroes of the world? Could it be that the general is going to cast Guanghua mage? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head when he heard this: "Nan Ye killed my uncle, this hatred is not shared, how can I vote for him?" ”

Li Ru said: "I also think that Cao Mengde is better than Nan Guanghua." Now that Cao Mengde occupies Luoyang, if the general surrenders again, he will get the land of the east and west capitals, which is more advantageous than Nanguanghua in Jiaozhou. This is only secondary, mainly because Cao Mengde has the heart to dominate the world and once competed with Yuan Shu to welcome the Son of Heaven. And Nan Guanghua actually gave the Son of Heaven to others, I am afraid that he has no intention of fighting for the world, so naturally he will not be able to win the world. If the general votes, in fact, only Cao Mengde can choose. ”

Zhang Xiu deeply agreed with the words, so he ordered Li Ru to be the envoy and present the book to the table. Cao Cao saw that Li Ru was dealing with the flow, and he had a heart of love for talent, and asked Li Ru: "Wen You is willing to go to my place and seek for me?" ”

Li Ru said: "A certain person from Dong Zhuo and Li Dao in the past offended the world. Now General Zhang obeys a certain word and can't bear to abandon it. ”

Cao Cao saw that Li Ruzhong was not angry but happy, and he was not in a hurry. Anyway, as soon as Zhang Xiu fell, Li Ru naturally became his general. So Cao Cao happily accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender, and added an official to Zhang Xiu to treat Zhang Xiu, which also had the intention of wooing Li Ru.

Zhang Xiu threw Cao Cao to open the city gate, took Cao Cao into Wancheng for hospitality, and the army and horses were divided outside the city. Cao Cao lived in the city for several days, and Zhang Xiu held a banquet every day.

Cao Cao drank and feasted all day long, and it was inevitable that he would get drunk. There is a saying that wine is the medium of sex, one day Cao Cao was drunk, returned to the room, and asked left and right: "Is there a beautiful singer in this house?" ”

Although there was no brothel in the Han Dynasty, it was common to raise prostitutes, so Cao Cao did not ask about the famous prostitutes in the city, but only asked the singers in the house. At this time, Cao Cao was accompanied by his nephew Cao Anmin, who knew his uncle's intentions and whispered: "When my little nephew inspected last night, I saw a woman on the side of the building, who was born very beautiful. asked, it was Zou Shiye, the wife of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji. ”

There is a folk proverb in modern times: Dongwu controls Lori, Cao Wei loves his wife, and Shu Han is all the base. Cao Cao was already drunk and disorderly, and when he heard that there was a superb surviving person in the house, he became excited. Quickly ordered Cao Anmin to lead fifty guards to bring the Zou family.

After a while, Cao Anmin took Zou to the room. Cao Cao looked at it with his eyes, and saw that Zou's skin was white and tender, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and a pair of crisp breasts were round and full, and he was about to come out, and he was really a peerless beauty.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and asked knowingly, "Who is Madame?" How did you get so beautiful? ”

Zou saluted and said: "The concubine is Zhang Ji's surviving Zou family. Don't dare to be a general and praise. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Madame, do you know me?" ”

Zou replied: "I have heard of General Cao's prestige for a long time, and I am fortunate to see three lives today. ”

Cao Cao said: "For the sake of my wife, Turner Zhang Xiu will descend, otherwise you will wait for the family to be wiped out." I don't know why Madame repaid me? ”

Zou's frightened face was like earth, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The concubine really feels the grace of the general's rebirth." It's just that the concubine has nothing else to grow, and she doesn't know how to repay the general. ”

Cao Cao dismissed and said to the Zou family: "It is very easy for Madame to repay her kindness, I am willing to sit with the pillow tonight, and I will be by my side in the future, how about enjoying wealth and prosperity?" ”
