Chapter 22
Hu You wanted to find a big backer, and there were only a few people in Wancheng who could be called big backers.The biggest one is naturally Zhang Xiu, but Hu You can't see Zhang Xiu at all. How can he get Zhang Xiu to look at him differently?

Next are Zhang Xian and Hu Che'er, two of Zhang Xiu's confidant generals.But Zhang Xian basically led the troops outside and kept a low profile.He is also a veteran of Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's cousin.But Zhang Xian wanted to avoid suspicion and never formed cliques for personal gain.Hu Che'er is a Hu person and the backbone of all the Hu people in Zhangxiu County.And he pays more attention to brave people. Hu You himself is not brave, and his promotion depends on his brains.

Then there is Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu's guest.However, Jia Xu is a low-key person. Not to mention Hu You, even Zhang Yi, a member of the Zhangxiu tribe, would have a hard time meeting Jia Xu, let alone others.And even if he met, Jia Xu would not act as a backer for anyone. He is a very cautious person, and he would never do such a pushy thing as being a backer.

Therefore, the few big shots couldn't be relied on, so Hu You had to find another way, and he aimed at Zhang Yi, an idiot.There was also a reason why he chose Zhang Yi. First of all, Zhang Yi was a relative of Zhang Xiu. He hadn't been in the army for more than a year.

Although I can't tell how good my relationship with Zhang Xiu is, at least it's not bad!In this way, Zhang Yi will have the opportunity to meet Zhang Xiu, and Hu You will be able to meet Zhang Xiu if he gets close to Zhang Yi.

Secondly, Zhang Yi is an idiot.It's best to fool a fool. Although he, Hu You, is not a liar, he thinks that he is still very smooth-talking, and it should be more than enough to fool a fool.As long as Hu You Zhang Yi can recommend himself in front of Zhang Xiu, even if he fails, he will still leave an impression on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Yi didn't know what Hu You was thinking. If he knew, he would laugh out loud.He himself was ready to leave Zhang Xiu, but he recommended Hu You?

Cao's army came very quickly. The [-]-strong army was divided into four battalions and surrounded Wancheng.To the east is Cao Cao himself, with generals Xu Chu and Cao Chun, to the south is Yu Jin, to the north is Le Jin, and to the west is Xu Huang, who has just joined his command.

Three of the five sons came, and Cao Cao was serious.Of course, there is no such thing as a good general with five sons, and Xu Huang feels that he is not a good general, but a fierce general.

Cao's army did not directly attack the siege, but sent people to persuade them to surrender as a matter of routine, while repairing the troops.It is true that there are many people, but there are also disadvantages when there are many people, that is, eating too much and doing too many chores.It takes two hours a day just to eat, which is a serious waste of time.

Of course, the attempt to persuade them to surrender was unsuccessful. After two days of repairs, Cao's army began to attack the city.

The city of Wancheng is tall and has sufficient supplies. In the first few days, Cao Jun was consuming the supplies for defending the city and did not launch a fierce attack.Zhang Yi also had nothing to do for a few days, and he had no place to call for emergency, so he didn't need to go up the city wall for support, but he couldn't wander around.But these days, he and Hu You get along well.

On the tenth day of Cao Jun's siege, Liu Biao finally sent General Wenpin to the north with 2 people to threaten Cao Jun's flank.Cao Cao sent the most powerful Yu Jin to deal with Wenpin. In Cao Cao's eyes, Wenpin may be a general, but Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning.

The reason why Yu Jin was allowed to go was because of Yu Jin's prudence, he could use less to more, and it should not be a problem for 1 people to hold Wenpin's 2 people.

Yu Jin did not disappoint Cao Cao. He confronted Wenpin in Bowang, and there was no fighting between the two sides.

Wenpin was held back by Yu Jin, but it was not actually held back because Wenpin was not going to Wancheng.Liu Biao did not want to confront Cao Cao. In any case, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and held great righteousness.Liu Biao could not deny the existence of the Emperor. If he denied it, he would deny his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

So Liu Biao sent Wenpin here just to threaten Cao Cao and make him retreat.Even if Cao Cao does not retreat, he must divide his troops and prevent him from capturing Wancheng.

Therefore, Yuban dragged the 1 people in Bowang, and his mission was completed.Since the task was completed so easily, Wenpin would naturally not use the lives of his soldiers to get through the reason for going to Wancheng.

Cao Jun's offensive became stronger with the consumption of Wancheng's supplies, and Hu Che'er's reserve team was also sent by Jia Xu to rescue.

As April was about to enter, Cao Jun's attack had been completed for almost 20 days.Zhang Xiu finally showed his minions in Rangcheng. He led his troops out of the city late at night, found a place to hide and rest during the day, marched at night, and arrived outside Wancheng on the third night.

Because Cao Jun continued to attack the city, he expected that Zhang Xiu had been besieged in Wancheng.I had thought that Rangcheng would come to the rescue before, but for 20 days in a row, there was no movement in Rangcheng. Even Cao Cao thought that Zhang Xiu was going to defend Wancheng!

Cao Cao also guarded against night attacks, but he was guarding from the direction of Wancheng, and did not pay too much attention to the threats from outside the city.Zhang Xiu was trapped in Wancheng, and Liu Biao's reinforcements were held back by Yu Jin. Xuchang in the east and Luoyang in the north were both his territories. Guanzhong in the west was too busy to take care of itself, so no one would come to rescue Wancheng.

In this way, Zhang Xiu once again attacked Cao Ying at night. Fortunately, Cao Ying was not together this time.It was Xu Huang's camp that was attacked. Xu Huang seemed brave and foolish to others, but he was very strict in running the army. In the history books, Cao Cao used Zhou Yafu to praise Xu Huang.

After Xu Huang was attacked at night, he quickly stabilized the situation.Seeing that the results were not great, Zhang Xiu immediately withdrew and returned to Rangcheng.

Cao Cao learned of the attack the next day and immediately asked Xu Huang to lead his army to Rangcheng and surrounded Rangcheng.

After dividing his troops again, Cao Cao's troops to attack Wancheng were a bit insufficient.So Cao Cao eased his offensive and instead turned to a siege.

In April, Cao Cao suddenly received a battle report that Yuan Shao was going to attack Xuchang and steal the emperor.Although it was impossible to determine whether it was true or not, Cao Cao still chose to retreat.Compared with the emperor, Zhang Xiu was not important at all.

After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Zhang Xiu immediately returned to Wancheng and summoned two generals and Jia Xu, "Cao Cao retreated, and I intend to send troops to pursue him."

Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao retreats without chaos. It is not appropriate to pursue him."

Zhang Xiu did not listen to Jia Xu this time and asked Jia Xu to stay and defend the city. He personally took Zhang Xian and Hu Che'er to pursue them.

Zhang Yi is now under the jurisdiction of Hu Che'er, so naturally he followed him to pursue him.

Zhang Yi tidied up the horse. He didn't have much time to take care of it this month. He gained a lot of fat, and he didn't know if he could run again.

Hanging up the spear, Zhang Yi put the bow and arrow on his back and mounted his horse. His slightly bloated body was very flexible.

Zhang Yi sniffed and said with disgust on his face: "I haven't changed my clothes for more than a month, and they are all a bit rancid. I don't know when I will be able to settle down. I hope I can achieve my goal this time!"
