After Cao Ang and the others discussed, they perfected some small details.

Subsequently, Cao Ang attacked and asked Liu for an edict to announce to the world.

Originally, Liu Wei wanted to pull Cao Ang to reminisce about the past, but he missed Qin Meiren's coquettish voice, so he had to give up in the end.

And Cao Ang came to the side of the Empress Dowager He unexpectedly.

"You little enemy, you don't know to come and see me when you come back." Empress Dowager He threw herself into Cao Ang's arms, her eyes like silk.

Seeing this, Cao Ang smiled and said, "Isn't this busy with official business, you see, as soon as I have time, I will hurry to find you." ”

Empress Dowager He glanced at Cao Ang resentfully, although she knew that the other party definitely didn't come to find her, but as long as someone came, then she didn't have any requirements.

When the dry wood meets the flames, it ignites instantly.

Outside the house, Tang Ji stood aside with her mouth covered, listening to the sounds inside the room, and finally slipped away with a red face.

……

A few days later, Liu Biao, who was already ready to go, received the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing the inner softness of this edict, Liu Biao was stunned, and hurriedly called a group of strategists to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen the content of this edict of the Son of Heaven, the imperial court asked the rebels who escaped from Xiliang to surrender to the imperial court, so that we can't use that embroidery!"

When the people heard this, they fell silent.

In the end, Kuai Yue was the first to speak.

"Lord, as the saying goes, the generals will be outside, and the military orders will not be accepted, not to mention that the lord is Jingzhou At this time, this embroidery is taking refuge in you, which is taking refuge in the imperial court!"

Hearing this, Liu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: "Well said, this statement is reasonable, take refuge in me, isn't that just taking refuge in the imperial court!" ”

Soon, Liu Biao continued to dispatch troops.

Zhang Xiu, who was stationed in Nanyang, naturally got the news of the edict of the Son of Heaven.

So, he hurriedly found his advisor Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.

"Sir, it turns out that this court still wants us to take refuge, but why did Yu Ban lead troops to attack us in the first place?"

Jia Xu frowned when he heard this: "This can only show that this edict is a recent decision of the imperial court, but unfortunately, we have already defected to Liu Biao, otherwise, if we take refuge in the imperial court, we can also mix under a big tree to enjoy the shade!" ”

"What shall we do now, sir?" Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu a little nervously.

Jia Xu shook his small fan, did not answer this question, but asked Zhang Xiu rhetorically: "General, we got the content of this edict, presumably Liu Biao also learned the news, didn't he write to you, general?" ”

"I'm done, sir, please take a look!" Zhang Xiu responded, and then took out Liu Biao's letter from his arms and handed it over.

After Jia Xu got the letter, he opened it and checked it.

The content of this letter is nothing more than what Liu Biao said, he Zhang Xiu took refuge in him Liu Biao, which is the same as taking refuge in the imperial court.

After reading the letter, Jia Xu laughed and returned the letter.

"Why is the gentleman laughing?" Seeing this, Zhang Xiu asked puzzled.

And Jia Xu said with a smile: "General, you must accept this letter, if it is because we did not defect to the court in the future, the court will be held responsible." ”

"As long as this letter is here, then we can throw all the responsibility on Liu Biao."

Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard this, he basically obeyed the idea of this military advisor.

"What shall we do now, sir?" Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu's opinion again.

Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Then it depends on the general's own thoughts." ”

"Oh? Where does this begin? Zhang Xiu was even more puzzled.

"General, if it is as expected, the fact that you did not defect to the imperial court, general, will soon spread out, and the imperial court will inevitably attract troops to attack at that time!"

"If you want to continue to work for Liu Biao, general, then desperately resist the army of the imperial court, but in this case, it is very likely that the city will be ruined."

"Of course, general, if you don't want to die so inexplicably, then surrender directly when the imperial army comes to attack, and then take out this letter and throw all the responsibility on Liu Biao."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu almost didn't think much about it, and made a decision.

"Do you still need to think about it, if the imperial army comes to attack, then I will definitely not be able to defeat it, and I will lose my life if I resist stubbornly, so I might as well surrender!"

Jia Xu was also very satisfied with Zhang Xiu's decision: "Yes, general, you can think so, I am very pleased to be here!" ”

As early as when he was in Xiliang, Jia Xu could see that the army of this imperial court, that is, the Cao army, was quite powerful.

The subordinates under the command of those princes, compared with the subordinates of Cao Jun, are simply more like a chicken than a phoenix.

The armies under the command of the princes of all walks of life have limited food and grass baggage, and their armor is relatively light.

On the other hand, in the Cao army, ordinary soldiers are wearing Xuan armor, which is no worse than the armor of the generals of those princes!

And Cao Jun also has a big killing weapon, that is, the extremely well-equipped tiger and leopard ride!

This kind of heavy cavalry, as long as it is not going to attack the city, it is basically an invincible existence, and it can rampage on the battlefield, so it's a fart!

After Zhang Xiu got the answer from Jia Xu, he left satisfied.

And after Jia Xu sent Zhang Xiu away, he couldn't help but sigh: "If only I could join the Cao family earlier, Zhang Xiu and even Liu Biao are nothing in front of Cao Jun!" ”

……

At this time, Cao Ang also received news one after another, all the troops who had escaped from Xiliang had chosen to join the imperial court.

It's just that there is no news that Zhang Xiu also came to defect.

Half a month later, the autumn harvest was completely over, and the treasury of the imperial court was full again.

Cao Ang also did not hesitate to write to the war.

"Your Majesty, you issued an edict before, asking those rebels in Xiliang to come to the imperial court after fleeing to Xiliang, otherwise they will be punished as rebels."

"I heard that the biggest rebel army who escaped from Xiliang is this Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu!"

"He didn't come to return to the imperial court, but ran to Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

"I don't know what the reason is, Liu Biao didn't even send it back to the imperial court."

"In this way, the minister wants to ask for war, lead the troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and wipe out this Xiliang rebel army, lest he endanger the people!"

As soon as Cao Ang's words came out, some ministers stood up and wanted to oppose it.

But before they could speak, Liu Wei waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, since the young generals have said that they are going to fight, then let's fight!" (End of chapter)
