When the sun once again enveloped the earth, Wancheng also regained its popularity.

Annan General Zhang Xiu once again came to the city with his trusted general Hu Che'er and his only adviser Jia Xu.

The battle outside the city last night was heard by everyone who didn't have a hearing problem.

Zhang Xiu is a little worried now. He feels like a fat sheep, and everyone wants to bite him.

Last night, there was a fierce fight outside the city, so naturally he was pulled up from his comfortable bed by Jia Xu.

When he was fully dressed, took his weapons, and climbed to the top of the city, he realized that his work was in vain.

Originally, when he heard the noise outside the city, he thought Boss Cao was preparing to attack the city under the cover of night.

As a result, as soon as he went to the city, he found that Boss Cao's house had been robbed.

As for the person who stole the house, Zhang Xiu didn't know him yet.

Based on the idea that an enemy's enemy is a friend, he wanted to go out of the city to help and planned to kill Boss Cao. However, Jia Xu's words directly made Zhang Xiu put an end to this idea.

Jia Xu didn't say anything, and just told Zhang Xiu, "The person who came here is not a good person."

Zhang Xiu is not stupid. He understood Jia Xu's words instantly.

The enemy of his enemy may be a friend to others, but to Zhang Xiu, the enemy of his enemy is still his enemy.

Indeed, no matter who is attacking outside the city, they are definitely enemies.

Think about it, who are the people around Wancheng?

To the northeast, Boss Cao is besieging the city, to the south is Liu Biao, and to the northwest is the remnant army of Xiliang.

Everyone around Wancheng is an enemy.

Everyone wants to bite him a few times. Are you planning to go out and kill someone when you leave the city at this time?

Zhang Xiu wanted to understand this matter and went home to sleep.

As for outside the city, let them fight as they please. Whoever wins will be besieging the city. If he doesn't leave the city, he can at least give the soldiers a rest.

So, the next day, Zhang Xiu went to the city entrance and took a look. Oh my god, the big flag outside the city had changed.

This means that Boss Cao was beaten down.

Zhang Xiu's face was happy, but then he started to frown again.

Now this group of people outside the city have beaten Boss Cao to the ground. Their fighting power is quite strong.

But our brother Xiu doesn't want to be captured like this, so he can only continue to fight.

Zhang Xiu had just finished inspecting the city's defenses and was wondering why the opponent hadn't attacked yet when a figure appeared from outside the city.

Zhang Xiu was a little surprised, why only one person came to the city? Was he here to deliver a message?

But shouldn't the messenger be riding a horse or something? Why did the messenger come here on his back? And he ran so fast.

In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. It's not that Li Jichen and others don't want to equip the messenger with horses, but that they really don't have horses now.

Not to mention horses for the messengers, even they, the army commanders, were riding the No. 11 bus.

However, Zhang Xiu still didn't let anyone shoot the arrow. After all, there was only one person on the other side. What big waves could he make?

Sure enough, after the player messenger ran to the city, without saying a word, he directly raised the letter in his hand, waved it towards the city tower and shouted: "I am here to deliver the letter, where is your boss?"

Zhang Xiu, a soldier on the city tower, was immediately confused when he heard what the player soldier said.

They didn't quite understand what a boss meant. But they could guess that since he was here to deliver a letter, he was definitely looking for their lord.

As a result, the soldiers present turned to look at Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu saw that the people below the city were looking for him, he didn't show any pretense, he just walked out and stuck his head out of the wall.

"I am Zhang Xiu, General Annan of the Han Dynasty. Whose soldier are you?"

Zhang Xiu asked, the most urgent task was to find out who the other party was.

"Oh, so you are Zhang Xiu. My boss asked me to bring you a letter. Please open the door." The player messenger looked at Zhang Xiu and said directly.

"Xin, you can just stay in the frame! It's not peaceful outside the city right now. I have the responsibility of guarding the territory and can't open the city gate easily."

"Hey, you are a coward. I am alone and you are afraid. How can I kill your whole city by myself?" the player messenger complained.

He felt that these NPCs were really timid and were afraid of even one person.

But he spoke very quietly. After all, he was here to deliver a message, not to provoke.

Seeing a basket being put down from the top of the city, the player's messenger directly put the letter in his hand into the box, and then ran away towards the player.

Soon the letter was delivered to Zhang Xiu, who opened it and started reading.

However, the more he read, the worse his face became.

Jia Xu on the side noticed the change in Zhang Xiu's face, so he stepped forward and asked: "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Wenhe, read it yourself." Zhang Xiu handed the letter to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu quickly glanced at the contents of the letter with a puzzled look on his face, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Jia Xu felt angry and annoyed now. He felt like a big fool.

He felt that he had been deceived by Liu Xie, and until now, he had not found anything wrong.

If this letter hadn't been in front of him, he might have always thought that Boss Cao's attack on Wancheng was his own idea.

Only now did he realize that he, like Boss Cao, had become Liu Xie's pawn.

The letter was written by Li Jichen. The main content was to tell Zhang Xiu their identities. Then they told him that Boss Cao was beaten away by them. Now the imperial army wants to enter the city, and they hope Zhang Xiu can open the city gate.

Although there was no word in the letter asking Zhang Xiu to surrender, this meaning was reflected everywhere.

"Mr. Wenhe, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Xiu asked when he saw that Jia Xu had read the contents of the letter.

When Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu ask this, he was also dumbfounded.

Originally, Jia Xu was born in the year of Toad, he could poke and jump.

If it wasn't a life-or-death crisis, he would really be unwilling to give advice.

Moreover, it is an idea that can directly affect the future of one's own forces.

"Lord, you should make your own decision on this matter. It's hard for my subordinates to say anything in this regard." Jia Xu directly passed the blame to Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu's words, he immediately felt unhappy.

Think about it, at that time you said you were going to Luoyang, the one who established a good relationship with the emperor, and you were the one who sent food and grass in exchange for official titles. But now Liu Xie's people are surrounding you, but you say you let me think about it myself?

If he hadn't known very well that Jia Xu had such a character, he would have even thought that Jia Xu had surrendered to the enemy.

"Mr. Wenhe, please don't stay out of this matter. I really need your help and advice on this matter."

"My mind is very confused right now and I have no clue at all. Mr. Wenhe, please help me." Zhang Xiu was telling the truth. He really had no choice now.

If he is fighting Boss Cao, he can also use the post of General Annan given to him by Liu Xie and the responsibility of defending the territory to evade it.

Then there is really no excuse for fighting Liu Xie.

After all, what Zhang Xiu wants is to live a peaceful life in a quiet corner. He doesn't want to provoke others, and he doesn't want others to provoke him.

But Liu Xie is different. The whole world belongs to him in name, and he can do whatever he wants.
