"Gong Cao, Gong Cao, this is Zhang Xiu. He thought I was humiliated by Gong Cao, so he took it upon himself to raise an army!"
"My lax command of the troops is already a serious crime. Just now I helped Duke Cao kill Hu Che'er, and I am willing to dedicate my troops and the Wancheng household registration book to Duke Cao!"
"There are many soldiers from Liangzhou in the land of Nanyang. I am willing to persuade Duke Cao to serve as a vanguard and go south to attack Liu Biao!"
"Guanzhong, by the way, Guanzhong, Fan Chou, and Han Sui were all my brothers back then. I am willing to recover these people for Duke Cao to help him achieve his hegemony!"
Zhang Xiu was like Gu Tianle in the drug war, with all his brain power, he put all the residual value in front of Cao Cao, which made Sikong, who was full of sinister anger, stunned for a moment!
This person was so cowardly that he was like a rubber ball, so Cao Cao punched him with all his strength, but there was no impact at all.
"My lord, Nanyang Prefecture and County are all the old tribes of Xiliang. This place is the strategic point of the world. If Zhang Xiu tribe guards this place, Liu Biao will not be able to advance northward!"
"Throughout the history books, it is very common for a general to kill him first and then report him later in order to resist the advance! Today, Duke Ming is acting on merit. Think of Zang Ba of Qingzhou, who was originally Yanzhou's sworn enemy, but now he has become a barrier to Xuzhou!"
"Datong is, ahem, born differently. Now the great enemy of Ming Dynasty is Yuan Benchu. The armies of Sili Prefecture and Liang Prefecture are standing side by side, all staring at this place. In my humble opinion, I still have to act on merit and take Zhang Xiu back to Xuchang.
If we seal it to Chang'an, we will avoid future troubles!"
Beside Cao Cao, Xun Yu saw his lord in a daze, so he rode up behind Meng De and reminded him in a deep voice.
Unification and fighting together were Xun Yu's strengths. Making friends with famous families was always the leader of Wen Ruo. This was also the secret behind Cao Cao's rapid rise.
Although Sikong wished he could chop Zhang Xiu into pieces here, if he thought about it carefully, if this happened to Mrs. Zou, if he killed Zhang Xiu with one knife, people in the world would start talking about it, and the reputation would not be good.
Cao Cao's eyes glanced back and forth at Zhang Xiu, Cao Ang and Dian Wei, and the gloomy expression on his face gradually relaxed.
Xun Yu was most familiar with his boss. When he saw Cao Cao's expression, he knew that he had persuaded him. He couldn't help but cast a mocking glance at Fang Guang, who was next to Dian Wei, and said the rest of his words loudly in front of everyone.
"Zhang Xiu, you are not strict with your subordinates. Even if your subordinates act without military orders, they will still be guilty of a lot of crimes!"
"Where is Wen He? I remember that Wen He was not in your army? Didn't I give you a few words of advice?"
Xun Yu was very smart and thought of what Zhong Yao and Sima Fang said in the letter. Jia Xu was a current national scholar and had a wide network of contacts in Chang'an. Although he had been with Dong Zhuo for a long time, he was highly respected by people from Silizhou and Liangzhou families.
This person.
He also knew that Cao Cao had always liked Jia Xu's style of counselors, so he naturally brought the topic to the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.
"Gong Cao and Wen Ruogong, as well as the guilty minister Jia Xu, failed to notice the rebellion in the Liangzhou army. This is really a serious crime. I also ask Duke Cao and Wen Ruogong to convict him!"
"I only know that the way of heaven is with Mr. Cao, and the stars in Tiankui are shining brightly. Mr. Cao is in the rising stage of his career. It is destiny. Even if there is a change, I will never hurt Sikong. That's why I urged him not to be in the army and indulged.
Hu Che'er thief!"
"When Wen He was in Chang'an, he was willing to take the blame. Today, he is willing to take the blame for his lord Zhang Xiu!"
Jia Xu's behavior made Fang Guang look at the demon with admiration.
Mad, who would have thought that this middle-aged businessman-like man with an honest face could have such deep plans.
This person has always been famous, and if he comes to take responsibility for Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao may not be surprised. Even Zhang Xiu can use this opportunity to get away with it!
These words even imply that Cao Cao is a person favored by heaven.
This was during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Even the children of high-ranking families believed in fate the most. Jia Xu was the most famous fortune teller in the world. Boss Cao would definitely like to hear this.
Sure enough, after hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's face became calmer and gentler, and the remaining evil spirit was wiped away.
The big man Sikong turned his head to look at Fang Guang, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Datong, what do you think? Fortunately, Ang'er and Dianwei are safe and the people are safe. What happened today can be considered a good story in troubled times. The pattern of Wenhe is known to everyone in the world, how about it?"
Cao Cao's reaction was as good as in the history books, wooing Zhang Xiu, stabilizing Nanyang County, using Liangzhou soldiers to fight Jingzhou soldiers, and using all his strength to deal with Yuan Shao.
This cannot be miscalculated, but Fang Guang has traveled through time, and many things that cannot be changed are still the same as in the history books, and Fang Guang is powerless.
Zhang Xiu was different! The moment Fang Guang hugged Dian Wei, he had already decided that he would never let Zhang Xiu go.
"My lord, the sage said, repay evil with kindness, how can we repay kindness with kindness!"
"Zhang Xiu, there are a lot of doubts about Hu Che'er. Young Master, Dian Wei's life is hanging by a thread. There is no way that the emperor is lax and can't be dismissed!"
"The Ming Dynasty is famous all over the world. If we let this person go today, in the future the heroes in the world will think that they can do things without taking responsibility, and the Lord will be in danger!"
"Now, under my lord's command, fierce generals have gathered together. Nanyang Liangzhou soldiers are originally members of the Kyushu bandits. Xuchang is prosperous. As long as one hundred thousand dendrobiums of wheat and rice are needed, we can recruit loyal and good disciples to guard them and prevent Liu Biao from advancing north! Why do you need Zhang Xiu to embroider him?"
"
"My lord, do you know? Anzhong has been occupied by Jingzhou soldiers, so I don't believe it. There is no secret communication between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao! How can you believe this man has the head of a rat?"
"If my entire army is in the north and he leads Liu Biaojia and Ma to the south, Xuchang will only be a few hundred miles away from here!"
"What, Anzhong City is lost?"
"Yes, my lord, I followed Datong, Zilong and Gongming here, and they had a fight with the Jingzhou soldiers. I still remember the handsome flag, which is the flag of Deng Ji, the commander-in-chief of the guard army!"
Fang Guang told what he saw when he came, Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed, Xu Chu added, everyone listened and looked at each other in astonishment!
Cao Cao's army only knew that the food supply could not be transported. Now after listening to Si Nong's words, he now understands the reason! This is a fallback route. If it is copied, the news will not be delivered.
"Zhang Xiu, do you know that Liu Biao cut off my food supply?"
"Mr. Cao, I don't know. How could I know about such important military matters? My uncle Zhang Ji died at the hands of Liu Biao. Liu Jingsheng and I are inseparable!"
Fang Guang's words made Zhang Xiu sweat pour out of his forehead instantly.
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiu for a moment, and after half a moment, he slapped his forehead with his hand and laughed out loud.
"Haha, I didn't expect that my hero would be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao in half his life!"
"What Datong said is correct. Now that Xuchang's troops are well-fed, why should we ask for alliances with people with evil intentions? If the Guanzhong aristocratic family, the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, and the Nanyang tycoon don't obey, they will all be killed!"
"A man is born in heaven and earth, why should he compromise in everything? If I let you go today, how can I smile at Ang'er, Dianwei again!"
"Where are the tiger warriors? We can capture Zhang Xiu now and kill him here. Then we will spread the word to Nanyang County. Anyone who does not rush to Rangcheng in three days is a traitor!"
