Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Chapter 4 Jia Xu Contributes Advice, Zhang Xiu Contributes to the City

Cao Cao didn't explain either: "Hahaha, Gongda, let's wait and see for a few days."

So this is the generosity of others, cool!
Cao Cao seemed to have doubts, but he actually asked and answered his own questions, and he was very sure about the answer.

Xun You was very puzzled, the lord has never been so sure about a battle.It seems that the lord was a little different last night.

Although Xun You has not been with Cao Cao for a long time, he has been observing recently. Since last night, the Lord has been very certain about certain guesses. Could it be because of him?

Xun You unconsciously looked at Han Ze, and saw that he was still awake.

Shaking his head, Xun You didn't think that a hero like Cao Cao could be influenced by such a confused person.

Did the lord get some secret information?But with this level of information, I, as a military strategist, will definitely know, how could my lord hide this matter.

He never imagined that all of Cao Cao's changes stemmed from the addition of an additional "skill".

If you don't think about it, you don't think about it, Xun You no longer entangles with this matter, maybe the information the lord got is not accurate.

When Cao Cao's army marched towards Wancheng, the people in Wancheng had already detected the movement here and were at a loss.

"Is there a receipt for the news?" A general in armor walked in from outside the mansion and asked a scribe in Ge Yi in front of the desk.

Seeing the general returning to the mansion, the scribe put down the scroll in his hand and stood up and said, "The general hasn't returned yet. If you think about it, Liu Biao would dare not make an enemy of Cao Mengde. Our army may be alone and helpless."

Zhang Xiu put down and took off his armor, and sat on the other side of the desk in plain clothes.

"Sir, he said before that our army is under Liu Biao's barrier. If there are enemies in the east, he will definitely send troops to rescue him. This is the reasoning."

"Why is Cao Jun threatening us now, but he is unmoved? Isn't he afraid that Cao Mengde will break through the barrier and go all the way north, taking his Jingzhou into his pocket?"

Jia Xu shook his head silently: "The situation is not as good as before. At this time, Lu Bu occupies Xuzhou, and Liu Bei is expelled from Xiao Pei."

"It can be said that there is no obstacle on the east side of Xudu. If Lu Bu insists on intruding, Xudu will be driven away. At this time, Cao Mengde would dare to continue to move forward and take Liu Biao's Jingzhou."

"Alas..." Zhang Xiu sighed long.

"Can't we force Liu Biao to send troops?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "Jingzhou has a lot of soldiers and food. If we lead Cao Cao there, Liu Biao will not be able to hold on. When our army's food and grass are exhausted, we will naturally lose. At that time, Cao Cao should have controlled Wancheng. We will wait for you." We can only go west to Luoyang."

Zhang Xiu hammered heavily on the table and said regretfully: "If I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place? Why didn't my husband stop me at that time."

Jia Xu felt even more bitter, who knew you would be so impulsive and want to enter Xudu to rob the emperor!You are going to go to Cao Cao's house to rob other people's treasures, and they are not in a hurry with you.

Of course, Jia Xu would not argue with Zhang Xiu, and silently accepted her blame and stopped talking.

Zhang Xiu paused for a moment, but also knew that he had said something wrong, and felt disappointed.Change the subject and ask about food.

"Sir, do you know how much food we have left?"

Jia Xu flipped through the letter, calculated silently and said, "Probably it can last for more than two hundred days."

There were blue veins on Zhang Xiu's head faintly, and he stared at Jia Xu to confirm again.

"There are only two hundred days of food left in the city?"

Jia Xu bit the bullet and nodded: "The day before yesterday your uncle attacked Nanyang and was defeated, which resulted in the loss of some grain and grass. The rest of the army could not be found after gathering, which led to the shortage of grain and grass. Without this dispute, the autumn harvest would have been possible."

Alas, Zhang Xiu sighed again, he didn't know why he sighed so much today.

"The grain merchants in the city have their own surplus grain, but if it is forced to collect it, it will definitely lose the popularity of the people, and it will not be available unless it is in case."

Of course Zhang Xiu knew this, and felt even more disappointed.

"General, I have a side, and I may be able to preserve the foundation."

A light of hope suddenly flashed in front of Zhang Xiu's eyes, Jia Xu's eyes were burning.

Jia Xu is a man who can make quick decisions and has tried many times to save him from danger. His trust in Jia Xu cannot be increased.

In Zhang Xiu's anticipation, Jia Xu hesitated and said, "Xiancheng surrenders."

"What!" Zhang Xiu was shocked.

He even suspected that Jia Xu had been bribed by Cao Cao, but he had to rely on him at this time, so he didn't ask this question.

But his surprised expression has clearly conveyed his meaning.

"Don't panic, general, listen to me carefully."

"Why did Cao Cao attack my city of Wan?"

"Naturally, it's because of the crime of taking the driver's seat." Zhang Xiu replied somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, we made a mistake in this matter, His Majesty Tianwei can't take it lightly, then we will admit our mistake to the Son of Heaven and express our surrender."

"In this way, you are in the same palace as Cao Cao. If Cao Cao has the heart, he will entrust the lord to his subordinates. Even if you are not allowed to continue to guard Wancheng, you will definitely resettle a city."

"The chaos in the world is coming, let's find a shelter first, and then take it easy."

Hearing the words, Zhang Xiu kept churning in his heart, thinking carefully about Jia Xu's words.It seems that he has nothing to lose except his reputation, and it is not without hope of rising again.

But in the end, it is better to depend on others and listen to others' orders, so it is better to make Xiao Yao's own decisions.

Seeing Zhang Xiu think carefully, Jia Xu added fire.

"My lord, there are only 15 soldiers in our city, and Cao Jun... [-]."

Zhang Xiu naturally knew that Cao Jun claimed to have 15. Although it may not really be 15, at least [-] is there.

With several times the strength of several troops, plus the brave generals in Cao's army, Zhang Xiu's complexion gradually turned pale.

"If my lord is still unwilling, I can ask you to investigate in detail."

Zhang Xiu nodded, "Let's explore again, why don't you have to meet Cao Cao to submit the letter of surrender, so you can't just wait and see."

After making a plan, Zhang Xiu sent all the rebels in Wancheng to investigate Cao Jun's movements.

A few days later, the [-] soldiers and horses of the pioneer Xiahou Dun had already marched to Feishui, and after going down to the village, they faintly threatened Wancheng a few miles away.

More than a thousand Wancheng scouts all sent out and came towards Feishui, but before they got close, they encountered the vanguard scouts of tiger and leopard cavalry.

In front of this special operations force, which is rare in the world, Wancheng's [-] scouts were like mud bulls entering the sea. They were completely swallowed with only a little splash, and only a few elites fled back to Wancheng to report the news.

The forest in front of the water is like a gluttonous beast with a huge mouth, devouring everything that enters.

When those people brought the news back to Wancheng, Zhang Xiu raised the suspension bridge and closed the city gate tightly, and no one left from it.

Looking at the damaged document that reprimanded Hou, Zhang Xiu kept saying, "How could this be, how could this be?"

This small-scale confrontation took away his last glimmer of hope and made him truly realize the power of Cao Cao.

"Surrender, prepare the paperwork. Please ask Mr. Cao Jun and his party to hand over the paperwork during Jieshi."

After Zhang Xiu said this in a daze, he left the cultural office, leaving Jia Xu alone.
