Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

After Hu Che'er was wounded by Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu had nowhere to vent his anger. Zhang Xiu knew that a small loss would make a big mistake, so naturally he didn't dare to attack Cao Cao.

So Jia Xu was called to discuss countermeasures.

"Wenhe, I want to speed up my submission, so that Cao Cao and others can leave Wancheng as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to suppress the anger in my heart and ruin the big event."

Jia Xu also agreed with this: "My lord can host a banquet tonight and entertain Cao Cao again. At the banquet, I will propose surrender, and then ask to be stationed in Wancheng to appease the people."

"Well, it takes a lot of work to introduce time and culture."

"Yes, the subordinates will definitely support the Lord with all their strength, so that Wancheng will not be threatened at all."

That night, Zhang Xiu held another banquet in honor of Cao Cao and others.After flattering each other for a while, Zhang Xiu formally submitted to Cao Cao.

"Sikong has been in the city for several days, and today I hope Sikong can formally accept the surrender of Xiu."

Cao Cao had been waiting for Zhang Xiu to surrender, and when he learned that Zhang Xiu didn't care about Hu Che'er's injury, he offered to surrender.

Presumably, I thought that Dian Wei's wounding was at my behest, to urge him to surrender as soon as possible, but that's fine too, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Cao Cao clapped his palms and laughed, his face full of joy: "Boyuan's words are very good. I had intended it a long time ago, but I didn't mention it because of our friendship."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Xiu got up and walked out of his seat, saluted Cao Cao formally, and changed his words.

"My lord, please embroider, and please support me a lot in the future."

Cao Cao quickly helped Zhang Xiu up, held Zhang Xiu's hand and said kindly: "Bo Yuan is my old friend, you and I should have united, so I will play the Son of Heaven after I return to Xudu."

"Yes, but I still have one thing to do, please fulfill it, my lord."

Cao Cao had just been accepted by others, so it was not easy to refuse, so he helped Zhang Xiu to sit down again: "Bo Yuan can say anything, but if I can do it, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes at Jia Xu, saw Jia Xu nodded slightly, and continued, "Master, I intend to continue to garrison Wancheng. I am familiar with this place, and the people also obey me."

"In addition, villain Liu Biao harmed my uncle. I want to wait here, and when the time is right, I will take the land of Jingzhou for my lord."

"Three times, the aristocratic families here are also familiar with me. If a war is raised in the future, it will be more powerful to mobilize the common people and gentry."

When Cao Cao heard all this, he relaxed.Cao Cao was afraid that Zhang Xiu would punish Dian Wei severely.

However, after Zhang Xiu was subdued, he wanted him to stay in Wancheng. At most, some ordinary officials would be here to watch Zhang Xiu.

When Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were talking, Xun You kept staring at Jia Xu, and Xun You noticed the eye contact between Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

Every time Zhang Xiu hesitated, Jia Xu nodded his head to hint, so Cao Cao and Cao Cao could talk so smoothly.

Thinking about it, Jia Xu was also the one who persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender. This person was only thinking of the Lord, what purpose did he have?

Xun You thought carefully about Jia Xu's past. Jia Xu was originally the military advisor of Dong Zhuo's remaining troops, Li Jue.

It was Jia Xu who proposed Li Jue's counterattack to Chang'an at the beginning. Li Jue and others gathered more than [-] people to counterattack Chang'an and killed Wang Yun who planned Lv Bu's execution of Dong Zhuo.

But after that, Jia Xu offered advice to Emperor Han Xian, and contributed to Li Jue and others turning against each other, and then let Li Jue take refuge in my lord.

The more I think about Xun You, the colder I feel. Jia Xu is a poisonous man with so many schemes.I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to be surrendered now.

After the discussion between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu was settled, the banquet was over.

Today Cao Cao had something on his mind, he was already happy and drank a few more glasses, so he got drunk.When he returned to his resting place, he asked the people who served on his left and right.

"Do you know where there are dancing girls in this place?"

The left and right are people who have served Cao Cao all year round. They have long known Cao Cao's habits, and of course they also know what it means to ask such a question.

Several people looked at each other, and a young man stepped forward. This man was Cao Anmin, the son of Cao Cao's brother.

Shielding the others, Cao Anmin whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "Last night, my nephew saw a beautiful woman on the side of the building. Today, the servants in the recruiting building asked about it and learned that That woman is Zhang Ji's wife, Zhang Xiu's uncle."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Anmin can look carefully, are you sure he is a beautiful person?"

"My little nephew saw it with his own eyes, he is indeed a beautiful person."

"Very good, you personally bring fifty armored soldiers to invite someone from the woman, and don't disturb Zhang Xiu."

Cao Anmin immediately greeted his subordinates, and explained his purpose when he arrived at the building.

The woman saw that the soldiers were all carrying knives, and Cao Anmin was a child of the Cao family, so she didn't dare to resist, so she followed to Cao Cao's residence not long after.

Cao Cao waited until he brought someone back, and he was really beautiful when he saw it, and he was so happy.

Jiu Jin got up and asked the woman's name.

The woman replied: "The concubine is Zhang Ji's wife, Zou."

Cao Cao asked again: "Do you know who I am?"

Zou said: "I have heard of the prime minister's reputation for a long time, and I learned that the prime minister has entered the city a long time ago. I am honored to pay my respects tonight."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, and pretended to be solemn: "Do you know that I brought 15 soldiers here, why did I accept Zhang Xiu's surrender so easily?"

Zou's face was blank, how can I have such a great charm.

Cao Cao caressed and said, "It's all because of my wife, otherwise the Zhang family would have been wiped out by now."

Zou was so frightened that she hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed to Cao Cao: "I really feel the grace of rebirth, and I can't repay it."

Cao Cao showed a tricky smile: "It's lucky to see my wife today. I would like to sleep together tonight, and return to the capital with me, so that I can enjoy the wealth and honor, how about it?"

Mrs. Zou lay on the ground and dared not get up, and after some hesitation, she still refused.

Cao Cao didn't use force, so he was sent back to the library, and he slept alone.

……

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zou found Zhang Xiu and told him what happened last night.

Zhang Xiu suddenly became furious, raised his hand and overturned the table case, and smashed all the utensils in the room.

Zou was too frightened to move, so she huddled in a corner and wept silently.

When Jia Xu arrived, the room was already in a mess.

Jia Xu saw that Zhang Xiu was out of control, and then glanced at Zou Shi in the corner, and quickly comforted him: "My lord, calm down!"

Zhang Xiu felt oppressed in his chest, and said with an angry face: "Tie Cao insulted me too much! How can you calm down!"

"I've already surrendered the whole city, yet the thief Cao actually wants to accuse my uncle and widow."

"If I can't even protect my aunt, how can I, Zhang Xiu, behave and lead Wancheng."

"Am I going to beg for mercy in front of this wretched person for the rest of my life?"

The image of Mrs. Zou crouching in front of Cao Cao flashed in his mind, Zhang Xiu's face changed again, and he roared furiously.

"I will kill Cao thief!, I will kill Cao thief!"

Jia Xu was dumbfounded when he heard that, knowing that Cao Cao was an LSP, but he didn't expect it to be so excessive.

"My lord, I think this matter should be kept secret first."

"Of course, how can family ugliness be made public." Zhang Xiu said angrily.

"Jia Xu, what is your plan to kill Cao thief!"

Looking at Zhang Xiu with red eyes, Jia Xu knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so she had no choice but to say.

"My lord, you can send someone to find out the arrangements in Cao's bandit camp, and then I can make arrangements."

Outside Wancheng, Han Ze hesitated for a long time and finally found Cao Chun.

"General Cao Chun, you must trust me. Only in this way can the prime minister's life be saved."
