Of course, Tao Ying knew what Lu Bu meant, and Lu Bu wanted more than just a general Zuo.

The reason why Lu Bu called people to thank him was because he wanted a position in Xuzhou.

Although he proclaimed himself a thorn, he did not have the canonization of the imperial court, after all, his name was not right.

In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, the position of a state assassin was not so easy to get.

And besides, this Chen Deng is not a good thing.

"Looks like it's going to change." Tao Ying shook his head and left the Lu Mansion.

On Cao Cao's side, he also received a reply from Lu Bu.

In his heart, he said that he would not pursue Liu Bei's affairs, and then he would send someone to thank him.

"Hahaha, it's such a simple-minded thing, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get rid of." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"This Lu Bu is solved, and the lord below can concentrate on dealing with Zhang Xiu and this Liu Biao." Xun Yu was also very happy to see the success of the plan.

"Hmph, these two jumping clowns, see how I clean them up."

Cao Cao also had no choice, this embroidery occupied Wancheng and posed a great threat to his Xu Capital.

Coupled with the alliance with Liu Biao, Cao Cao had to draw troops.

Soon, Cao Cao's army, divided into three routes, began to move south.

On Zhang Xiu's side, he soon received the news of Cao Cao's troops.

"I said Wenhe, how good is this."

"This Cao Cao reacted so quickly, he didn't expect that he had already counted the army of Haoerlang." Jia Xu was also at a loss.

He didn't expect Cao Cao to move so quickly, they had just united, and Cao Cao's army had already begun to move south.

"What can we do here, or we should inform Liu Biao quickly." Zhang Xiu asked anxiously.

"Liu Biao? Maybe he can't be relied on at this time. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

Although they have been united with Liu Biao, they exist like Liu Bei's vassals.

But Liu Biao is still very jealous of them, and this alliance is not so solid.

In the face of Cao Cao's army, Liu Biao not only would not send reinforcements.

Maybe he will also use Zhang Xiu to consume Cao Cao's strength.

"This time, Cao Cao's army is pressing, it seems that the number will not be small, I don't think this Liu Biao will help."

"Won't help? Is he just sitting idly by? Zhang Xiu asked.

"This Cao Cao's strength cannot be underestimated, and there are many fierce generals under his hands, since it is Liu Biao's people, it doesn't matter what it does."

"That's... So what can I do? ”

"If you can't fight hard, then you will fall." Jia Xu said suddenly.

"Drop?" Zhang Xiu stayed there directly.

He thought that Jia Xu would come up with some clever plan for him, but he had to persuade himself to surrender.

"But don't worry, my lord, we're just avoiding it for the time being."

"But..."Although Zhang Xiu had agreed in her heart, she was still a little worried.

"Haha, I understand what the lord means, the lord is afraid that this Cao Cao will kill the general, right?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Of course, he had already thought about these problems in advance, and it was impossible for him to harm Zhang Xiu.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded.

"Don't worry about this, as far as I know, this Cao Cao Guang is recruiting talents in the world, and now that the lord is a general, I believe that Cao Cao will be reused."

"Since Wenhe said so, then I will do it." Zhang Xiu nodded and said.

These questions are indeed a bit difficult for the simple-minded Zhang Xiu.

Otherwise, he would not have found a wise man to be his advisor.

Cao Cao led the army here, and just after crossing the water, he received a letter of surrender from Zhang Xiu.

"Hahahaha, what a good thing, I haven't arrived yet, and I received this embroidered book." Cao Cao said with a smile.

He was still a little worried about the battle, but before the battle started, someone on the other side had already surrendered.

"Lord, this can't be the enemy's ploy, right?" At this time, a general next to him asked.

"Scheme? I don't think so, let's go and see. ”

"If this embroidery is willing to open the city gate and the whole army comes out to surrender, then the explanation is true." Cao Cao happily touched his beard.

On Tao Ying's side, he already knew that Zhang Xiu would surrender, but in order to stop Cao Cao, he sent someone to persuade Zhang Xiu.

Because if this embroidery really descended to Cao Cao, then the road to the south would definitely be unimpeded.

The crane in the clouds came out a few days in advance, and as Tao Ying's envoy, he reached Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu learned that it was Tao Ying's envoy, and he was also very polite, and received the crane in the cloud with a big gift.

"I don't know what Brother Crane came here for." Zhang Xiu asked.

With two glasses of water and wine, the two chatted happily.

"I heard that Cao Cao's army in the north is pressing the border, and my lord has one more thing to ask for." The other party's reminder made the crane in the clouds think of the purpose of his visit this time.

"Oh? I don't know what's going on. ”

Hearing Yun Zhonghe talk about Cao Cao's matter, Jia Xu, who was accompanying him, also listened attentively.

"This time Cao Cao's army pressed the border, my lord is willing to offer money to help the general resist the enemy."

"Oh? It turns out that this Tao brother is so generous. ”

"That is, of course, the revenge of killing my father is not shared."

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he looked at Jia Xu on the side.

I saw Jia Xu put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded.

"That's really embarrassing, yesterday, I have already sent a letter, and I am willing to take refuge with this Cao Cao." Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said.

"Huh? Surrendered. The crane in the clouds was shocked.

"Haha, don't worry, Brother Xian, although I have surrendered to Cao Cao, it will not affect the relationship between the two of us, and I will not harm you." Zhang Xiu smiled.

Zhang Xiu was so surprised when he saw the crane in the clouds, and thought that the other party was afraid that he would harm him.

But how did he know that Yun Zhonghe originally thought that he could change this history, but he didn't expect to be a step late, but he just regretted it a little in his heart.

"I didn't expect it, I'm still a step too late." The crane in the cloud said with a sigh.

"This Cao Cao's strength is too strong, our troops are insufficient, and I am an enemy of him, and I am just hitting a stone with an egg."

"That's that, now that the general has already made a decision, I can't say much more."

"Today's banquet, of course, will go on as usual, and I will call someone tomorrow to send you back safely." Zhang Xiu assured.

Suddenly, the crane in the cloud widened his eyes and thought of something.

"I don't know what's wrong with Brother Xian." Seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Xiu asked a little puzzled.

Because at this time, the expression of the crane in the clouds looked very strange as if it couldn't pull out.

"I have one more thing to remind the general."

"Oh? Please speak. ”

"This Cao Cao has a hobby, that is, he likes other people's beautiful wives, I think the general should pay attention to it." Yun Zhonghe said bluntly.

"This..."Zhang Xiu didn't expect Yun Zhonghe to say such a sentence.

"I won't say more, but please pay more attention to the general." After speaking, the crane in the cloud got up and left.
