The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 208 Betrayal

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiu saw no movement in Cao Ying, but he was happy to be at leisure, but asked Huang Zhong to strengthen the defense of the city, and at the same time sent people to keep a close eye on Cao Ying's movements.

Although there are hundreds of miles of solid walls and clear fields, if Cao Jun marches into Nanyang desperately, he must also defend himself. Of course, this possibility is very small.

After all, Cao Cao had a limited number of tiger and leopard cavalry, and he was afraid of the detonators in his hands, so the possibility of rushing in lightly was not too great.

On the other side, in Cao Jun's tent.

Dian Wei has been in a coma for the past few days, and Cao Cao has been on guard almost day and night, and he can't even sleep at night.

Outside the tent where Cao Cao was resting.

Xu Chu's waist was ten girth wide, and he held his sword and glanced around, not letting anyone approach him.

In the distance, Cao Ren came quickly, with a smile on his face, but before he could speak,
"Zixiao, my lord just fell asleep, so let's talk about it later." Xu Chu stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

He has a very good relationship with Dian Wei, and his lord's attitude towards Dian Wei really moved him. Seeing Cao Cao can't sleep at night because of Dian Wei, he feels distressed.

"Hehe, Zhongkang, don't worry, Dianwei is awake." Cao Ren said with a hearty smile.

At the end of the speech, Xu Chuhu's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he was full of joy. Dian Wei woke up. As long as he can wake up, there is a possibility of living.

And at this time, inside the handsome tent.

Cao Cao came striding forward, ignoring the obscene clothes he was wearing, and immediately looked at Cao Ren with burning eyes, and said anxiously, "What did you say? Dian Wei is awake?"

"Yes," Cao Ren nodded in response.

Cao Cao's face that had been gloomy for several days suddenly became happy, and he was as happy as a child. He turned around and laughed loudly at the guard: "I just said that he is blessed with great destiny."

After finishing speaking, he shook off his loose clothes, without shoes, and went straight to the tent where Dian Wei was resting.

In a few moments, no one has arrived,

Cao Cao's voice came, and he shouted: "Dian Wei, I knew you were fine."

After speaking, the curtain has been opened.

Cao Cao opened his eyes and glanced. Not far away, Dian Wei was lying on the bed, his face was still pale, but his face was a little more bloody. He was in a coma for several days, and it was a miracle that he survived.

It's time to compare with the blood man Zhou Tai.

After all, in order to protect Sun Shiwan, Zhou Tai suffered more than a dozen wounds in the first battle, but the force was even more ruthless. After beating the invading enemy, Sun Quan fainted from shock when he was in no danger.

It didn't take a few days to wake up, and then recovered, it can be called the number one meat shield in the Three Kingdoms.

Seeing Cao Cao coming, Dian Wei wanted to get up while shouting: "My lord,"

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "There is no need to be too polite, just rest at ease."

Dian Wei, but the audience will say that Cao Cao has hardly rested for the past few days because of him, and he was already moved with tears in his eyes.

But at this time, he saw Cao Cao coming barefoot, and he couldn't repay him in his heart. A strong man of two hundred catties actually burst into tears.

"Okay, it's fine."

Cao Cao stepped forward and grabbed Dian Wei's palm, speaking very sincerely.

Seeing Cao Cao's behavior, everyone around couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, and their loyalty to Cao Cao increased a bit. Dian Wei is a general with a foreign surname, so it's really wise to be treated like this.

"Dian Wei, didn't you unload the Zhangxiu weapon that day, why did you suddenly lose? Moreover, you also showed symptoms of convulsions."

It was Cao Ren who spoke, and he looked curious.

As the words came out, the rest of the generals also looked over.

Dian Wei tried to recall, but suddenly felt a little panic, he could still vividly remember the scene of that day, and he couldn't help shivering when he thought of that thing that could send out thunder and lightning.

"Thunder, thunder and lightning, that's right, it is thunder and lightning. Zhang Xiu's black stick can pass through lightning and lightning. I can faintly see the arc on it. It is that thing that hurt me."

Dian Wei was slightly panicked, his voice was weak, and he spoke with difficulty.

"???"

"Thunderbolt?" Everyone was surprised.

What the hell?Could it be that Dian Wei was sleeping stupidly?Cao Cao raised his eyebrows in astonishment, which was unheard of.

What is thunder and lightning?That is something unique to nature. It is said that it is controlled by the gods in the sky. How could it gather on a mere little black stick?
If Zhang Xiu can control thunder and lightning, why bother?Wouldn't it be enough to just turn the three armies of Cao Ying into ashes?
"Are you sure Zhang Xiu used thunder and lightning?" Cao Cao was slightly suspicious. He really didn't know how to believe this, after all, it was too illusory.

"The electric shock is almost the same as that of the people who get electrocuted in rural legends, but it may be less powerful than Tianlei. The whole body twitches and numbs at the moment of electric shock, but the twitching feeling is much relieved after the thing leaves." Dian Wei recalled the feeling at that time, Muttered explained.

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Cao Cao fell into deep thought, could it really be thunder and lightning?If it is really thunder and lightning, it is not good news.

But thinking about it now,

All kinds of things about Zhang Xiu are really unclear. He seems to be covered with a veil. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a character to remain unknown for so long.

If it weren't for Zhang Ji, few people would know the name of Zhang Xiu.But now, whether it is resourcefulness, martial arts, or various things displayed, none of them can be possessed by Xiliang martial arts.

"In addition, he has a precious armor on his body. I tried my best to pierce it, but I couldn't pierce it. It is probably several times stronger than Dong Zhuo's armor back then."

Dian Wei said with lingering fear.

These are the two things that he was counter-killed that day. Without these two things, it is estimated that Zhang Xiu would have died tragically under his iron halberd.

"Okay, you can rest at ease."

Cao Cao didn't go to argue, but just exhorted.

After speaking, he turned around and left the camp. Xun You followed. He saw the unease in Cao Cao's eyes, he hesitated and said, "My lord, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu is not a simple person."

Cao Cao looked at Xun You suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, why is this not an easy method?"

"What Dian Wei said should be true. In addition to all the previous things, how can he have so many foreign objects in his mere Xiliang reckless man? I dare to say that there must be someone who is behind him to help." Xun You said in a deep voice.

There are some things that he can't explain clearly either.

Cao Cao nodded. Ever since Zhang Xiu appeared in the world's vision, every step he took didn't look like something a Xiliang warrior could do.

It stands to reason that with Zhang Xiu's personality, burning, killing and looting is normal, how could he be so outstanding?
"Okay, no matter what, Nanyang must be taken." Cao Cao stepped forward two steps, and said in a solemn voice: "Go and order the generals to prepare their troops and prepare to surround Yecheng."

Since Dian Wei was fine, he also felt relieved.

"Promise!" Xun You nodded heavily.

The next day, at noon.

Outside Yecheng, Cao Jun besieged the city again after many days.

Looking from a distance, countless siege machines were slowly pushed forward, mighty and mighty, coupled with the densely packed army formation, it also made the guarding soldiers a little depressed.

As it approached, there was no movement in Yecheng.

Zhang Xiu made it clear that he was on the defensive, but Cao Cao was so angry that he could only order the three armies to start digging and besieging the city, while preparing stones and preparing to use a trebuchet to project a wave.

These are just the most basic operations.

Zhang Xiu couldn't get out of the city, so he could only find a way to break the city. Only by breaking Yecheng could he go south, otherwise he would go south after crossing Yecheng.

For a time, the two sides stalemate again.

Guanzhong, within a hundred miles of Wuguan.

At night, the moonlight swayed bright silver light, shining on countless military tents, and only heard the bonfire burning.

Liu Bei's army camp, inside the commander's tent.

Sun Gan hurried back.

Sun Qian's face was withered and yellow, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel apologetic when he looked at it, and poured him a cup of clear tea himself, and after drinking, he couldn't help asking: "Gongyou, you've worked hard, what did Zhang Xiu say?"

"Huh!" Sun Gan exhaled, and said with a serious expression: "Master, Zhang Xiu is willing to provide food and grass, but we need our army to exchange horses."

"Switch horses?" Liu Bei frowned, and said slightly darkly: "Didn't the previous letter say that Zhang Xiu is willing to provide military rations as long as our two armies form an alliance?"

"Hey! Even though it's so in the letter, Cao Cao actually lost a battle first. He personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to set up an ambush, but was defeated by Zhang Xiu. Now he is retreating, waiting for reinforcements."

Sun Qian said with a sigh.

"Cao Cao lost a game first?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Well, it is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiu dared to be so rampant. Now the strength of Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu is almost the same, and it is difficult to win or lose in a short time."

Sun Qian explained.

If it hadn't been for Cao Cao's defeat first, it is estimated that Zhang Xiu would not dare to ask for prices.

"How much does he want?" Liu Bei said in a deep voice with sullen cheeks.

"[-] dendrobiums for [-] war horses." Sun Gan lowered his head and his voice was a little timid, and he was not too satisfied with what he was talking about.

"Ten thousand horses?"

Liu Bei's voice was loud, and he was a little shocked. These [-] horses are enough to form two full-fledged iron cavalry, and this one is too greedy.

"Brother, you can't give it to Zhang Xiu. Even if you kill [-] war horses, it will be enough for [-] hu of grain. He is too aggressive."

Zhang Feihuan opened his eyes angrily and said angrily.

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and signaled him not to talk too much, then he said solemnly, stroked his beard, "Brother, what the third brother said is not unreasonable."

"It is unheard of for [-] horses to be exchanged for [-] hu of rice."

Liu Bei thought for a while, pressed his palms and said, "Second and third brothers, don't worry, I know it well."

It is abominable to need [-] war horses for [-] dendrobium rice, but now he really needs Zhang Xiu's strong support. Only by forming an alliance with Zhang Xiu can he gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

Otherwise, even if the rebellion succeeds, it will not be long before it will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Sun Gan with a solemn expression, and said, "Gongyou, what about Wuguan? Would Zhang Xiu of Wuguan be willing to cede it?"

Sun Gan shook his head, and said helplessly, "My lord, I mentioned the matter of Wuguan, but Zhang Xiu was vague, saying that if the lord can gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, we can talk about it later."

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, let's stand firm?That means you disagree?

Seeing Liu Bei's solemn expression, Jian Yong stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the road from Wuguan to Chang'an is rugged and nearly hundreds of miles away. Even if he is unwilling to hand it over, we can build another Wuguan."

"Of course, the premise is that our army can gain a firm foothold."

"Well," Liu Bei nodded after thinking about it. The position of Wuguan is relatively not absolute. Pushing it a little further, it is not too difficult to build another one.

"My lord, since Zhang Xiu agrees to form an alliance, and Cao Cao has been defeated again, according to my intention, I can unite with generals Ma Teng and Han Sui to rebel."

Jian Yong spoke again.

These days, the tyrants represented by Ma Teng and Han Sui in Guanlong also agreed to follow Liu Bei's lead, but the premise is that Liu Bei can stand in Guanzhong.

As long as Liu Bei can stand firm in Guanzhong, and with the help of Zhang Xiu, there is nothing wrong with them taking refuge in it. After all, it is difficult for them to be reused if they take refuge in the imperial court.

On the contrary, there are not many people around Liu Bei, and if they can be promoted, they can also get a lot of benefits.

"My lord, I second my proposal."

Sun Gan clasped his fists in a hurry, and explained at the same time: "Guanzhong Zhongyou's control is currently weak, but if he continues to manage it, it will inevitably happen."

Sun Qian didn't point it out, of course Liu Bei knew what he meant.

After pondering for a while, Liu Bei looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance, and no mistakes can be tolerated. Gongyou, Xianhe, you two disguised yourself and went to Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp in person."

"I made an agreement with the two of them that at five o'clock tomorrow, the three armies will launch an attack together, and go straight to Zhong Yao's Chinese army camp. Take this man down for me and take control of Guanlong."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he only felt a little short of breath.

This moment is finally coming. As the uncle of the Han family, he, Liu Bei, can finally occupy another corner of the land to map the world.

"No!" The two looked equally excited.

After finishing speaking, the two of them clasped their fists and retreated, and went straight to prepare.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said, "Second and third brothers, you go back to the camp to reorganize the army. At five o'clock tomorrow, you will say that Zhong You rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and I was ordered to eradicate the Han thieves."

"Brother, don't worry, I will kill that old bastard Zhong Yao with my own hands in this battle." Guan Yu said with a haughty expression, stroking his beard and sneering.

"Hey," Zhang Fei smiled, patted his chest, and shouted confidently, "Brother, don't worry, this battle will be left to me and my second brother."

After finishing speaking, the two also retreated angrily.

As everyone left the account, Liu Bei looked nervous.

He opened the camp tent, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, saluted with a dignified expression, and said: "Look at the ancestors and ancestors to bless the great man, and bless me to succeed in this battle."

It fell into the night the next day, and it was nearly three o'clock.

In Zhong Yao's camp, he opened the letter sent by the envoy, looked at the content above, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It was a letter from Cao Cao, so let him pay more attention to Liu Bei.

Since he took over the military administration, Liu Bei has performed his duties extremely, without any intention of overstepping. Why did the lord let me pay attention to him?
After closing the letter, Zhong Yao glanced at it: "Come here, tell Liu Bei to come to see me immediately, and also inform the princes of Guanlong to attack Wuguan in the future."

"No!" The guard stepped back.

Zhong Yao glanced at the letter again, shrugged his sore shoulders, he really didn't understand what the lord did, why did Liu Bei mention him so dutifully?

Could it be that someone was slandering the lord?
After a long time, the guards came on horseback.

As he approached, he was stopped when he was a hundred steps away from Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei's camp was in full swing. It didn't seem like a late-night scene, and the guards couldn't help frowning.

Tell the guards, and Na Ya will report.

In the handsome tent, Liu Bei was already dressed in armor and paired with a double-pronged sword, showing his fortitude.

"Report~, my lord, Zhong Yao sent someone to invite you to his camp." Ya Jiang said loudly.

"What? Zhong Yao invited me?" Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment.

At this juncture, what he instantly thought was that the matter had been revealed, and he immediately drew his double-strand swords backwards.

"Go, shoot the person for me, and tell Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that the matter has been revealed, and we are going to do it in advance." Liu Bei said with a suppressed voice.
