Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao looked into his eyes one by one, and left calmly. He also had a general idea in his heart, knowing that those people harbored the Han Dynasty.

And Xun Yu, who was at the side, saw Cao Cao leaving, and hurried to follow.

"Tattoo..."

Hearing the footsteps following behind him, Cao Cao said without turning his head, "Wen Ruo, do you have anything to say, just ask?"

Xun Yu, who was chasing up, heard the question and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister Cao is really eloquent, and he coaxed His Majesty around."

Cao Cao turned his head slightly and glanced at the counselor whom he called Zifang. "Hey, Wen Ruo, you have been following me, Cao Cao, since I started the army. Don't you even understand?"

Xun Yu asked back: "Is the position of prime minister really that important?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Can this matter be left to you and me? Can't you tell from yesterday's discussion and today's court meeting?"

Although most of the courtiers opposed it, compared with the courtiers who agreed with it, there were too few. After all, compared with Liu Xie and Cao Cao, they were more inclined to the latter

"Yeah." Xun Yu nodded self-mockingly and said, "I can't help myself. The Prime Minister is really a loyal minister. It is Yu who has become this sinner."

From Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao knew that this knot was completely over.

Cao Cao said helplessly: "Time will prove everything. Whether it is loyalty or treachery, it has its own conclusion. I hope you and I will not turn against each other."

Xun Yu said, "Don't worry, Yu won't do anything to make other princes happy."

The two walked out of the palace gate while talking, and formally separated after Xun Yu's salute and resignation.

This separation proves that the two will walk a different path in the future, and it may not be impossible for them to become enemies that day.

Cao Cao wanted to explain it to Xun Yu, but he couldn't explain it clearly unless he didn't advance to the post of prime minister.

But those who follow Cao Cao, they can always look forward to, if Cao Cao rejects, I am afraid that more people will complain in their hearts.

Since the left and right are not right, Cao Cao does not explain, leaving time to prove it slowly.

After this incident in Xuchang, a large group of people who were vacillating towards the Han Dynasty began to make up their minds one after another. A few people also resigned and left Xuchang, but most of them joined Cao Cao, which made his popularity rise a lot.

While accepting new voters, Cao Cao was preparing to go to Wancheng to discuss matters.

A month later, Cao Cao personally ordered [-] elites, known as [-], and drove to Wancheng mightily.

When Zhang Xiu in Wancheng heard the news, he panicked on the spot. Cao Jun was famous for being good at fighting, and he was definitely not his opponent.

In order to find a way out, Zhang Xiu decided to visit a man and ask him to offer a plan for himself.

In a small house in the east of Wancheng, a middle-aged man was sitting in the front yard enjoying the sunshine.

He suddenly heard noises outside the house, causing him to open his eyes slightly, but after only one glance, he then closed his eyes, completely different from usual.

And the person who came outside the house was the advocate of Wancheng. Seeing the middle-aged man in the front yard, Zhang Xiu asked his servants to stop outside the house and entered by himself, showing respect for this person.

As soon as Zhang Xiu came to the man, he saw the man said: "General Zhang is here because of Cao Cao leading the army to conquer?"

Looking at the man with closed eyes in front of him, Zhang Xiu respectfully said: "Exactly, I hope you can give me a plan to defend Wancheng."

The man said: "Wancheng is an isolated city. I have already said that I should vote for one of the princes. Now may be a good opportunity."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that, sir?"

The man opened his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "How is Cao Cao?"

Zhang Xiu replied: "It is more than ten times better than this general. Looking at the princes from all walks of life, he is also one of the best."

The man then closed his eyes and said, "In that case, it's a good choice to vote for Cao Cao."

Zhang Xiu said in embarrassment: "If you vote without fighting, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed, and it will not be reused."

The man said indifferently: "No, no, I'm afraid Cao Cao's envoy is already on his way, and will arrive in Wancheng within two days at most."

messenger?

Zhang Xiu frowned and said, "You mean that Cao Cao should be courteous before fighting?"

"Yes." The man replied affirmatively: "So, the right to choose is still in the hands of the general. If the general insists on fighting, I can offer a strategy to block this conquest, but it will be hard to say next time."

If he escaped the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day, even if he can win this time, it may not be the next time. Wancheng has become a piece of meat in Cao Cao's mouth, and he will swallow it sooner or later.

Even the person in front of him gave this suggestion, Zhang Xiu had to think carefully.

Once the war starts, there is no turning back, even if you choose to surrender in the end, it will not be easy.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then what request should I make to Cao Cao's envoy? I won't suffer a loss, and he will agree to it?"

Chapter 468 Zhang Xiu

Hearing this, the man knew that Zhang Xiu had made a decision, so he immediately replied: "Whatever the general wants, just ask the person who came, and insist on not letting go, then Cao Cao will definitely agree."

Zhang Xiu asked with disbelief: "The general wants to continue to garrison Wancheng, so Cao Cao will agree."

The man said affirmatively: "Of course, if you don't believe me, the general will try it and you will know. If the negotiation fails, I will personally advise the general to retreat from the enemy."

Receiving the guarantee from the person in front of him, Zhang Xiu left with doubts, knowing that Cao Cao's envoy had arrived at the mansion just as soon as he returned to the mansion.

Seeing that it was exactly as the man said, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel convinced, so he quickened his pace and went to meet Cao Cao's envoy.

When he came to the guest room, he saw a genuine Confucianist holding tea in his hand, Zhang Xiu put away his expression, and walked in with great strides.

"I heard that Cao Gong led nearly [-] troops to beg for no reason. How could he send you here to sacrifice the flag at this time? Could it be that you offended him?"

Hearing this, the man unhurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, and said slowly: "My lord, Xun You, is Gongda. I am here on a mission from Duke Cao to show General Zhang the way."

"Xun You?" Cao Cao was very confident and sent his left and right hands here. It seemed that he was sure of himself, but luckily he asked him.

Zhang Xiu sneered and said: "Then there is no way out, isn't it just that I want the general to surrender? Yes, but you must agree to the general's request, otherwise even if Cao Cao comes in person, he will return without success."

Before coming here, Xun You had thought about countless possibilities, and he had also thought about this one before him, so he was not curious.

Xun You smiled and said, "Naturally, as long as General Zhang's request is not excessive, Mr. Cao will agree."

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Okay, I can also surrender, but I will continue to garrison Wancheng."

What's the difference between continuing to garrison Wancheng and not surrendering.

Xun You shook his head and said, "It seems that General Zhang has no intention of surrendering at all. Well, let's make a decision when Duke Cao's army arrives."

Zhang Xiu panicked, but there was no change on his face, and he said coldly, "If that's the case, then I will cut off his left and right hands first."

"Come here, put this man in prison, wait for Cao's soldiers to arrive, and kill the sacrificial flag."
