Wancheng.

The messenger sent by Cao Cao killed three horses along the way, and then rushed to Wancheng as fast as possible.

"Report." The guards came to see Zhang Xiu and said to Zhang Xiu: "General, the messenger sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng has come to ask for a meeting. ”

Hearing that Cao Cao sent a messenger to come, Zhang Xiu suddenly panicked.

On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao came to persuade him to surrender at the same time.

At that time, Zhang Xiu wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao, who seemed to be more powerful. However, Jia Xu advocated the surrender of Cao Cao.

You must know that Yuan Shao was much stronger than Cao Cao at that time!

However, since beating Jia Xu to make Zhang Xiu a military advisor, Jia Xu's strategy has never been missed.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu still followed Jia Xu's advice and surrendered to Cao Cao.

The development of things was indeed as Jia Xu expected, and the seemingly powerful Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao.

This made Zhang Xiu admire the military advisor Jia Xu very much, and listened to Jia Xu, and it was really right.

After Zhang Xiu took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not embarrass him, but continued to put him in charge of the defense of Wancheng.

Nothing has changed, this Wancheng is still embroidered by him, it is nothing more than an extra Prime Minister Cao Cheng on his head.

Although Cao Cao did not embarrass Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu always felt unreliable in his heart.

After all, when Cao Cao came to attack Wancheng, his beloved son Cao Ang and his beloved nephew Cao Anmin died.

Zhang Xiu always felt that after Cao Cao cleaned up Yuan Shao, he might have to take his life.

This time, Cao Cao sent a messenger, Zhang Xiu beat the drum in his heart, he thought to himself, this eighty percent is Prime Minister Cao Cheng came to kill me.

Although Zhang Xiu's heart was a little drumming, he didn't dare not see the messenger sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng!

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and annexed Yuan Shao's territory. Cao Cao's current strength is too great, and in the whole world, it can be said that half of the country has fallen into Cao Cao's bag.

Before the battle of Guandu, there was also a Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who fought separately. Therefore, Zhang Xiu was also able to use Wancheng to fight with Cao Cao.

Because, at that time, Cao Cao still had to beware of Yuan Shao, and it was impossible to go all out to deal with him.

Now, such a big force as Yuan Shao has been defeated by Cao Cao, and Zhang Xiu really doesn't have the courage to fight against Cao.

Zhang Xiu thought to herself, if Prime Minister Cao Cheng really wants to kill me to avenge his son and nephew, I can only kill him.

"Hey!" Zhang Xiu sighed heavily, and instructed the guards who came to report: "Bring the messenger of Prime Minister Cao to see me!" ”

Soon, the guards came to see Zhang Xiu with a messenger from the dust.

As soon as he saw the messenger, Zhang Xiu hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the messenger, what does Prime Minister Cao Cheng command?" ”

It's a matter of his own life and death, how can Zhang Xiu not care.

Now, Zhang Xiu is afraid that Cao Cao wants his life.

The messenger took out Cao Cao's letter from his bosom and said to Zhang Xiu: "This is Cao Chengxiang's handwritten letter, but I don't dare to read the content of it." ”

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng has an order, and this letter must be personally handed over to General Zhang."

Hearing that Cao Cao brought him a handwritten letter, Zhang Xiu began to make up for it again.

Zhang Xiu thought to herself, could it be that Prime Minister Cao Cheng wrote a secret letter to let me break myself off and save some face for each other.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu was already wondering in his heart, whether it was better for him to take poison or hang himself!

"Come"

"Give me this letter!" Zhang Xiu's tone was trembling.

The guard handed the letter to Zhang Xiu, who opened the letter with apprehension.

Zhang Xiu opened this handwritten letter from Cao Cao, and when he saw the first few lines of the letter, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because, Cao Cao's tone was very polite to him, and he didn't mean to kill him.

In this letter, Cao Cao explained the difficulties he was encountering now, and he also explained his purpose.

Seeing that Cao Cao's purpose was to borrow his military advisor Jia Xu, rather than wanting his life, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After reading Cao Cao's handwritten letter, Zhang Xiu also knew that now it was the Wuhuan people who were attacking, and Cao Cao was in a hurry.

Therefore, it is necessary to recruit his military advisor Jia Xu to help.

Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and he was now Cao Cao's subordinate.

It stands to reason that Cao Cao wants to call Jia Xu, and that is a matter of order.

And now, Cao Cao also wrote a handwritten letter to Zhang Xiu, which shows that Cao Cao has attached great importance to Zhang Xiu.

The Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was an era of serious infighting.

However, these warriors still understand the national righteousness very well.

In peacetime, the wars between the various princes were fought over by the Han dynasty.

They can compete for the Han family, how can they tolerate the Wuhuan barbarians?

It's like two brothers fighting over the property, and the scalp of the two of them can bleed. However, if an outsider wants to rob them of their property, then the two of them must work together to beat the outsider away first.

What's more, now that Zhang Xiu has taken refuge in Cao Cao, in this case, he will definitely stand with Cao Cao and fight against the Wuhuan barbarians together.

After reading Cao Cao's handwritten letter, Zhang Xiu slapped the letter on the table and said unevenly: "Why did Prime Minister Cao only recruit the military advisor Jia Xu, but not recruit me Zhang Xiu?" ”

"I, Zhang Xiu, is known as the Gun King of the North, how can I be missing Zhang Xiu in this battle with Wu Huan?"

After saying this, Zhang Xiu said solemnly to the messenger sent by Cao Cao: "Come, take the envoy to have a full meal, and prepare a few good horses for the envoy." ”

"Please also ask the envoy to return to the prime minister, Jia Xu and I, Zhang Xiu, will go to Jixian County in a few days and serve under the prime minister."

"Kill Wuhuan barbarian dogs, I Zhang Xiu will not hesitate."

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, the envoy thought to himself, Zhang Xiu is a good person! Although he is a foreign general, he is sincerely willing to serve the prime minister.

"Thank you General Zhang, I won't eat the meal!"

"Please also ask General Zhang to prepare a horse for me, and I will return immediately to report to the prime minister." The messenger arched his hand.

The messenger had killed three horses along the way, and the one under his crotch had already run away.

If you want to go back, you have to ask Zhang Xiu to prepare a horse for him.

The messenger is particular about a hundred thousand urgent, since he is unwilling to eat, then, Zhang Xiu is not easy to force.

Zhang Xiu prepared a horse for the messenger, and after the messenger left, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered someone to call the general division Jia Xu.

When the military advisor Jia Xu came to the mansion, Zhang Xiu was standing on a military map and studying.

Zhang Xiu thought to herself, I, Zhang Xiu, killed Cao Chengxiang's beloved son Cao Ang, my nephew Cao Anmin, and my horse was gone.

Instead of killing me, Prime Minister Cao Cheng was very polite to me.

I have taken refuge in Prime Minister Cao Cheng for so long, and I have not achieved an inch.

This time Wuhuan is coming, it's time for me to make meritorious contributions.

I, Zhang Xiu, is known as the king of guns in the north, this time, I must let the Wuhuan people see how powerful my spear is.

The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to kill the frontier now, so that the Wuhuan people would be bloody, and the casualties would not stop.
