Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao showed a trace of pride on his face, his prestige was able to defeat others without fighting, this is the best strategy in the art of war.

"That's right! Zhang Xiu must have decided to surrender to the lord a long time ago... If the generals don't believe it, tomorrow, when the lord leads the army to the city of Wan, we will definitely see the result!"

Guo Jia paused for a moment, turned around and looked at the generals who were not convinced, and added another sentence.

"Okay! All the armies will rectify the formation of soldiers and horses. When the sun rises tomorrow, the soldiers will surround Wancheng!"

Cao Cao made a prompt decision and ordered to all the soldiers.

"Order!"

Civil servants and military generals silently withdrew from the camp, but Cao Cao did not rest. Instead, he asked people to take out the topographic maps of Wancheng and Jingzhou, and looked at them enthusiastically.

……

"Sir, the general has withdrawn his troops as you said, but the general is still a little worried. I wonder how King Wei will settle down with him?"

Jia Xu was sitting in his tent, and the guard next to him approached quietly and asked.

Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, no expression could be seen on his face, his eyes turned slightly, and he looked around the tent.

As Cao Cao's military adviser and the military adviser of Nanya in the Great Wei Dynasty, he has a high status and naturally has his own independent tent.

"Tomorrow King Wei's army will come to the city, tell Zhang Xiu to go out of the city to meet the army early, King Wei will definitely not treat him badly when he is overjoyed!"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then said to the guard.

"promise!"

The guards quietly left the camp with a promise.

But Jia Xu remembered Guo Jia's words today, as expected of a genius Guo Jia, he saw through his own strategy at a glance.

That's right!

In fact, outsiders didn't know at all that Jia Xu had a good relationship with Zhang Ji back then, they were often called brothers, and Zhang Xiu was naturally very familiar with Jia Xu, and often asked him for advice as an uncle.

But this time, when the emperor died in Wancheng, the murderer Liu Bei abandoned the army and fled, and Liu Biao also returned to Xiangyang to stay behind closed doors, his position was awkward.

Although he was not the murderer, the emperor died in the Wancheng prefect's mansion after all, and he could not absolve himself of the blame. For this reason, he tried Liu Biao many times and asked him for food and grass, but in the end Liu Biao prevaricated with him.

In this way, when he was so anxious that he couldn't make a choice, the first thing he thought of was the resourceful uncle Jia Xu, so he sent his confidants to Xudu to ask Jia Xu for advice on strategy.

Jia Xu thought of his old love, so he sent a letter to Zhang Xiu. There were only six words in the letter... Rebellion, Recruitment, Surrender.

For Jia Xu's ability, Zhang Xiu naturally had no doubts, so he immediately raised troops and killed Cao Hong by surprise.

After Cao Hong's defeat, Cao Cao really led the army to attack. When Zhang Xiu got the news, he immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals, led the army to pull out the camp overnight, and retreated towards Wancheng.

……

The next day.

At daybreak, Cao Cao finished his breakfast, gathered the soldiers of the three armies and the school field, and rushed to Wancheng in a mighty way. As a result, the people and horses had just crossed the river, and saw an envoy appearing on the way from a distance... Zhang Xiu Surrender!

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and saw that his face was indifferent without any surprise, and he felt more and more proud of his brilliance and martial arts.

Even if the geeks didn't come, wouldn't Wancheng be captured by his own army?

It's not that he doesn't trust Ning Rong, and that Ning Rong's achievements over the years are too great, it's time to take a rest.

As a superior person, you must first understand the knowledge of people, then you must understand the way of balance, and finally the art of imperial power.

"Where is Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Wancheng?" Cao Cao asked proudly as he jumped on his horse and swung his whip.

"Report to the king of Wei, the general and the civil and military officials five miles outside the city will welcome the king of Wei!"

The envoy obviously knew the essence of flattery, and Cao Cao was really happy when he heard that.

"The army marches out..."

The 20 army continued to move forward amidst the sound of horns, and when Wancheng appeared in front of everyone, they saw Zhang Xiu standing on one side, followed by a civil servant holding a surrender watch.

"The sinful general Zhang Xiu, heard the coming of heaven, and the day and night are difficult to rest. Thanks to the magnanimity of the king of Wei, the sinful general is willing to offer the land, army and civilian books to the king of Wei. In the future, he will lead his horse and fall, dare not obey his life!"

Zhang Xiu put his posture very low, Cao Cao was very proud, but there was no emotion on his face, he just nodded slightly to Zhang Xiu.

After all, he is now the king of Wei with more than [-] people, not the little prefect of Dongjun. Zhang Xiu forced himself to surrender without fighting against his majesty. Although it was a refreshing thing for him, he might There are more or less regrets.That is, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to train the clan's children to let them realize the cruelty and changeability of war. After all, with the passage of time, the older generation of them will eventually grow old, and if the younger generations cannot become talents , then his Cao family's Great Wei Jiangshan may be shaky

fall.

Ugh!

Forget it, it seems that I can only look for opportunities, now that the world is not peaceful, there are always opportunities!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at his eldest son, Cao Ang. Although Cao Ang did not obey orders and sneaked here, but now he felt that he came just right, and this was the opportunity to show his face.

Cao Cao stroked his black beard, but didn't reach out to catch it. He raised his eyes and signaled Cao Ang, who was beside him, to step forward instead of him.

Cao Ang was a person who had experienced the baptism of war, and naturally he didn't shy away from Zhang Xiu's evil spirit. He stepped forward to take the book of soldiers and civilians of the land, and asked his father, King Wei, to preview it, and then a historian beside him recorded this great moment.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiu took off his sword and handed it to Cao Ang. Cao Ang stretched out his hands to hold the sword, and respectfully asked Cao Cao to show it.

Naturally, Cao Cao would not compete with his son for the opportunity to show his face. Since he wanted to show his face, he had to show it all.

Comprehending Cao Cao's meaning, Cao Ang took a step forward slowly while holding the sword excitedly, and then raised the sword high.

"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..."

"Roar...roar...roar..."

"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..." The soldiers of the three armies cheered thunderously, and the drums and horns rang together, and Cao Ang listened to the cry from the heart intoxicated, with a smile on his face!

Chapter 772 Who offers advice?

And then... After the surrender was over, Cao Ang did not take the sword away, but unexpectedly walked towards Zhang Xiu, hung the sword on his waist, and whispered a few words to express his comfort .

Tears filled Zhang Xiu's eyes, and he knelt down on the ground with both knees, and made a solemn oath to Cao's father and son that he would go through fire and water in the future.

Cao Cao laughed consolingly. Although Cao Ang didn't have great talent and grand strategy, he had a generous personality, treated his subordinates well, and was more beneficial and win people's hearts.

Cao Cao didn't say this, but he had already made up his mind. To create a country and kill countless people, what he did was to use thunderous means; to stabilize the country and comfort his subjects, what he did was to moisten things silently. foundation.

The tyrannical king crosses all corners of the country and creates the world.

The king who keeps success, comforts the eight wastelands and nine states, and sets the world.

The two complement each other, and the combination of rigidity and softness is an excellent strategy.
