The other party followed Dong Zhuo at first, and later joined Li Jue. The shadow of the other party was present in the chaos in Chang'an.

Cao Cao also takes such counselors seriously.

"Mr. Wenhe is so humble. Cao Cao has already heard about your reputation!"

First he wooed Hu Che'er, then Cao Cao turned around and started talking to Jia Xu again.

Question and answer for both.

Although Zhang Xiu was dealing with everyone in Cao Ying, his thoughts were always on Jia Xu.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Zhang Xiu was almost furious.

It's a pity that now that he has decided to serve the other party, he has no choice now.

Even if Cao Cao wins over Jia Xu and others in front of him, Zhang Xiu still has troubles that he cannot tell.

In fact, there is no way to stop it.

Sure enough, at this moment Cao Cao spoke directly to Jia Xu.

"Sir's talent is very clear to me. If you don't give up, why don't you come under my command and serve in the army?"

Cao Cao decisively extended an olive branch to Jia Xu.

But at this moment, Jia Xu's expression did not change at all, and he saluted Cao Cao.

"Forgive me for not being able to accept Duke Cao's wishes!"

Jia Xu decisively refused, and then quickly explained.

"It is said that things in the past, from Li Jue and others, unfortunately led to great disasters, and the whole world is guilty."

"This time I am with General Zhang. The general treats me like an elder. Every time Xu says something, General Zhang takes it to heart."

"General Zhang treats Xu so much, how can Xu abandon the general because of his wealth?"

Jia Xu's words were sincere, and after hearing this, Cao Cao felt a little admired.

To be honest, he wanted Jia Xu to follow him even more.

When Zhang Xiu next to him heard what Jia Xu said, something was already twinkling between his eyes.

A touch of warmth appeared in my heart.

Zhang Xiu smiled and raised his glass to Cao Jun.

After the banquet, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao said that there were still many unfinished matters in the city.

After rushing back tonight, I plan to gather my subordinates tomorrow and surrender to Duke Cao outside the city!

I heard Zhang Xiu say this.

Cao Cao was not surprised at all. After nodding, he asked Zhang Xiu to take people back to prepare.

It was night, Zhang Xiu rushed back overnight.

After Zhang Xiu and the others left, Cao Cao smiled to his left and right.

This incident in Wancheng went quite smoothly.

He looked at Xun You and Cheng Yu, and then thought of Xi Yu's cautious instructions before.

"Gongda, Zhongde, now I win!"

"When I get back tomorrow, I'm going to laugh at Fengyi in front of him!"

Saying this, Cao Cao seemed to have thought of how he would look in front of Xi Yu.

He was thinking, what kind of expression will Xiyu look like then?

Thinking like this, the smile on Cao Cao's face could no longer be suppressed.

"However, Fengyi's previous guess was correct. Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight!"

Cao Cao followed up with another sentence. As for what Xi Yu said next, Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten.

Cheng Yu and Xun You looked at each other and just smiled.

Thinking of Xi Yu's previous caution, they also felt that Xi Yu was worried too much.

It’s night!

A night without words.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky lit up, Cao Cao had already taken Xun You, Cheng Yu and others to prepare early.

Around Chen time.

The gates of Wancheng opened to the left and right, and Zhang Xiu led a group of subordinates to line up outside the city gate, quietly waiting for Cao Cao and others to arrive.

"Xiu pays homage to Cao Sikong!"

After Cao Cao brought his people over, Zhang Xiu formally surrendered.

After Cao Cao took the initiative to help him up, Zhang Xiu said: "Sikong, I have informed the people in the city that they will submit to the imperial court today!"

"Sikong might as well lead the army to reorganize in Wancheng and then march westward!"

Zhang Xiu’s advice!

This time, Cao Cao stayed in Wancheng for a while, so he could perform better in front of the opponent.

At that time, maybe you can follow Cao Cao all the way to the west and get some credit.

When Dajun returns to the court, his resume will look better.

Zhang Xiu thought this way, but Cao Cao did not refuse.

At present, things in Wancheng are extremely smooth, and Xiahou Dun leads another 350,000 troops to Sili Luoyang, Chang'an and other places.

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Jue and others to surrender like Zhang Xiu. This battle will definitely not be over in a few days.

At the moment, he just made some adjustments for a few days, and there will be no problem.

After Cao Cao agreed to Zhang Xiu's request, he led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu into Wancheng with only three thousand guards around him that day.

……

"Enter the city!"

Seeing Cao Cao leading people to Wancheng, Xi Yu, who had been watching from a distance, did not continue to watch.

He immediately took Huang Zhong and went straight to the supply camp outside the city, and directly approached Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun was a little surprised when he saw Xi Yu coming.

"Why are you here, sir?"

"I was worried that something big would happen in Wancheng, but now everything is as I expected."

"Zilong please tell your brothers that from today on, you can listen to my orders at any time. If there is a change in the city, you can go out with me at any time!"

After telling Zhao Yun not to expose his whereabouts, Xi Yu followed Huang Zhong and waited in the supply camp.

This wait is two days.

During this period, nothing happened in Wancheng.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong both felt that their husbands were probably overthinking.

But Xi Yu is not in a hurry at all, except asking the spies in the transport camp every day to see if there is anything special happening in Wancheng.

The more important thing is to pay attention to Cao Cao's movements.

Because they were inspecting horses from the baggage camp, Cao Cao and others in the city didn't take it too seriously.

At this time, Cao Cao and his people had been staying in Wancheng for two days.

At first, he still took Xi Yu's advice to heart. Although he didn't care, it was Xi Yu who said it after all, so he should take it seriously.

Just two days passed, and Cao Cao watched Zhang Xiu hand over the government affairs of Wancheng with his own eyes, and even did nothing but greet him every day.

All that's left is to stay in your own house.

This situation immediately made Cao Cao feel that Zhang Xiu was sincerely loyal to him.

I don’t have any other ideas.

Thinking like this, and then thinking about Xi Yu's worries, I felt that the other party was really making a fuss out of a molehill.

It’s a sunny day.

Cao Cao was in a good mood today, but he drank a little too much without realizing it.

After I was a little drunk, I suddenly felt a faint impulse of anger.

After he returned to the temporary residence arranged by Zhang Xiu, he immediately dismissed the guards on his left and right sides, and directly summoned his nephew Cao Anmin.

"Uncle, do you have anything to do with my nephew?"

Cao Anmin was wondering when he saw Cao Cao looking drunk and looking at him with squinted eyes. He frowned and asked.

After hearing this, Cao Cao didn't have any scruples.
