Chapter 8

Zhang Xiu didn't have too many bad intentions. Although Liangzhou people were not as generous as Yanzhao scholars, they didn't have too many crooked intestines either.

This has something to do with the level of education in Yongliang, because Liangzhou people have relatively few poems and books passed down from generation to generation, and there are only a few famous ones, and most of the rest are generals.

If the education level of Liangzhou people could be compared with that of the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo would not have been defeated.

A famous general in Liangzhou, he is very skilled in battle.Liangzhou is surrounded by Qianghu, and the Han people can only rely on force to survive, so they focus more on how to fight.But he has no talent for politics at all. For example, Han Sui, who is known as the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, is just a little clever, and his political vision is really not flattering.

Zhang Xiu was happy and did not object to Cao Cao's arrangements at all, and even cooperated with them as much as possible.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's performance, Cao Cao was extremely satisfied and slowly let down his guard.

One day Cao Cao went to Zhang Xiu's mansion for a banquet, and accidentally saw a beautiful woman, so he casually called his nephew Cao Anmin, "Anmin, go and find out who this woman is."

Cao Anmin immediately understood, he knew exactly what his uncle liked.Then he called the servants in Zhang Xiu's mansion and asked, "Is this woman the family of Xuanweihou?"

The servant said, "This is the general's uncle, the widow of the late Hussar General."

When Cao Anmin heard this, his expression immediately became strange.It is understandable that those in power like beauties, but Cao Cao also has a big habit, that is, he likes widows. In later generations, people will call him Qi (intentionally wrongly written) Cao.

Not many people really know about this matter at this time, but my family is still clear.A few years ago, Cao Cao married the wife of a good friend, who was the son of the famous He Jin.

He Jin's son died a few years ago, leaving orphans and widows, all of whom were taken over by Cao Cao.Cao Cao treated the child as if he was his own, and he liked it very much.

This kid named He Yan is really smart. Cao Cao likes smart kids, even better than his own son.

This also resulted in that He Yan and later Qin Lang (also the son brought by Cao Cao's other concubine Du Shi) were both killed when they were fighting for power with the Sima family.

Now this woman is also a widow, I believe my uncle will like it.Cao Anmin immediately returned to the main hall, bowed his head and reported the matter to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he had a thought at the time, not only could he get this woman, but he could also try to see if Zhang Xiu really surrendered.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao said to Zhang Xiu: "General Hussars has just died. I don't know how his family will be arranged?"

Zhang Xiu didn't know Cao Cao's deep meaning, but thought that Cao Cao cared about him, so he said: "Uncle has no children, only a widow, and Xiu will take care of her?"

Cao Cao said: "I have been friends with General Hussar for a long time. Since his widow is here, can you please come out and let Cao pay her respects?"

Zhang Xiu didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, so he agreed.

After a while, an American woman in her thirties came over and said to Cao Cao, "The widow Mrs. Zou pays his respects to the general."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed immediately, and after returning the gift, he said to Zhang Xiu: "The widow of General Hussars is so young, she may be criticized if she lives in the general's house for a long time, why don't I take her back to Xuchang and take care of the general?"

Zhang Xiu was at a loss for words at the time, and just about to refuse, he heard a cold snort.Zhang Xiu looked over and saw a burly man holding a pair of iron halberds, glaring at him.

This is Dian Wei, and Zhang Xiu's liver trembled for a while!Speaking of Zhang Xiu, he is also a person who has experienced many battles. He has seen dozens of villains instead of a hundred. He should not be afraid of Dian Wei.

But he still has a shadow of Dian Wei, and this started a few days ago.

When Cao Cao first entered Wancheng, he summoned all the generals in Zhang Xiu's army, and Cao Cao brought Dian Wei to meet them one by one.Before arriving in front of anyone, Dian Wei glared at each other, and everyone was afraid.

Dian Wei is a man of ferocious appearance and extremely powerful.Being called "ancient evil" by Cao Cao shows how ferocious he is.

Zhang Xiu was frightened by Dian Wei's stare, and quickly said: "Then trouble Sikong."

Ms. Zou kept her head bowed. The status of women at this time was not high, and she had no right to decide whether she would stay or go.

In this way, Cao Cao took Zou Shi back to the barracks, and then held a ceremony to accept Zou Shi as his concubine.

Although Cao Cao was ugly, he was heroic and treated women very well. Mrs. Zou soon fell in love with Cao Cao and served him wholeheartedly.

Zhang Xiu felt a little strange sending Cao Cao away, this is my aunt, who would gossip about my care?If you serve it, right?

Zhang Xiu finally came to his senses at this time, he wanted to get his aunt back, but when he thought of Dian Wei's appearance, he was scared again.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu can only comfort herself, isn't she just a woman!Do not worry about it!
Zhang Xiu comforted herself, but there were seeds of hatred in her heart, and she began to have different thoughts.I treat you Cao Cao wholeheartedly, and you treat me like this?
A few days later, Zhang Xiu was even angrier when he heard that Cao Cao had accepted the Zou family today!Hurrah!I said what do you want to do?Was it the idea?You are not only insulting me!Still taking advantage of me?You accepted my aunt, don't I want to call you uncle?

Zhang Yi heard that Cao Cao had accepted the Zou family, and began to make preparations quietly.Because he is a relative of Zhang Xiu, he is the subject of Cao Cao's surveillance. He usually only carries a sword when he goes out, leaving no clues to others.

Zhang Yi has been observing around Cao Ying, wondering from which direction Zhang Xiu will raid Cao Ying, from which direction Cao Cao will break through, and where Dian Wei will stop the pursuers.

According to historical records, it should be in front of a city gate. Zhang Yi studied for a long time, analyzed the gate where Cao Cao might have escaped, and then set his target outside the south gate.

Why not Dongchengmen?It was because Yu Jin led the Qingzhou soldiers and Zhang Xian to capture Rangcheng two days ago and was repairing Rangcheng.

Rangcheng is not far from Wancheng, and Yu Jin has nearly [-] Qingzhou soldiers under him. As long as Cao Cao escapes to Yu Jin, he will be absolutely safe.

Therefore, Cao Cao will definitely go to the south gate, not the east gate.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi drew the topographic map of the South City Gate at home, and then made repeated calculations to ensure that it was foolproof.

After all, there is only one chance. If you want to obtain Dian Wei's ability, you must not make mistakes, otherwise you will definitely miss the opportunity.

However, Zhang Yi waited for two days, but Zhang Xiu didn't start, which made him a little impatient.its not right!Didn't Zhang Xiu rebel because the Zou family was taken away by Cao Cao?Why not act?
There must be something wrong!
Of course something went wrong, Zhang Yi thought too much about Zou!Does Zhang Xiu have any thoughts about Zou Shi? Why did Zou Shi and Cao Cao turn against each other?
