There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao had been condemned by Xuzhou during the day, but he never approached Zhang Xiu to discuss this matter. Just as Zhang Xiu expected, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and hesitated about this matter in his heart.

Most importantly, Cao Cao is guilty of being a thief now.

The sharp words in the denunciation letter were trivial, and a hero like Xiang Cao Cao would not be angry because of this, but the content and speculation in it pierced Cao Cao's heart like a sharp knife.

Because the content above is basically in line with the facts.

Now Cao Cao wished he could arrest Yan Xing and Liu Xun and chop them into pieces.

Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng... Yan Xing and Liu Xun, two such important figures in Yuan Shu's family, actually let me go?

How on earth do these two pig heads do things!

Even though his heart was overwhelmed, Cao Cao's face seemed relatively peaceful.

He smiled and asked Zhang Xiu: "The general came here in the middle of the night to complain, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xiu hastily submitted the denunciation article to Cao Cao, saying: "Sikong Mingjian! When Xiu saw this thing, it was like a thunderbolt hitting Tianling, and he couldn't sleep at night. I came here to explain to Sikong... The fact is that..."

Cao Cao blocked Zhang Xiu's words with his hand, and said, "General, don't panic. Let me ask you, do you believe the content above?"

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Xiu shook his head heavily, and said angrily, "This is clearly the Xuzhou Tao thief's plan to alienate!"

Cao Cao showed a gratified smile when he heard the words, and said, "Since that's the case, what else is there to worry about? In the eyes of the general, Cao is such a narrow-minded person that he doesn't even care about the little tricks of Tao's children." Someone who won't come out?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Zhang Xiu quickly waved his hands.

Cao Cao comforted Zhang Xiu and said: "Don't worry, general, after Cao mou conquers Xuzhou, he will definitely give the general a satisfactory explanation. General, you don't need to think too much, go back and rest well, and after I capture Tao thief alive the next day, I will hand him over to you It's a thousand cuts."

When Zhang Xiu heard the words, he hurriedly bowed, thanked him a thousand times, and swore to be loyal to Cao Cao without any selfishness.

Cao Cao also expressed his attitude and mind that he believed in him very much.

After Zhang Xiu walked out of the hall, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to rest, but asked someone to call Dian Wei.

Seeing Dian Wei, Cao Cao immediately ordered him: "Order the lion and tiger camp to move the camp of the lion and tiger soldiers to Zhang Xiu's camp, and monitor his soldiers and horses."

Although Dian Wei is simple and straightforward, he is loyal to Cao Cao and obeys orders.

He naturally had no reason to refuse what Cao Cao asked him to do.

……

After Zhang Xiu returned to her camp, she immediately found Hu Che'er.

Seeing Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu immediately said: "Order the battalions to look for an opportunity to do something, choose a day to pack our bags, and let's look for an opportunity to leave Xuchang."

Hu Che'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "General, Cao Cao can't tolerate the general anymore?"

Zhang Xiu sighed, and said helplessly: "It's not tolerated, I have to find a way to leave, this matter is too sensitive, even if he can tolerate me now, he will definitely not tolerate me in the future, stay here, Every day is like hanging an ax to cover your head, like sitting on a needle, how can you live this kind of life? I went to Cao Cao tonight to take the initiative to appeal for grievances, just to stabilize this old thief so that I can take the opportunity to escape."

When Hu Che'er heard this, his hairs stood on his head, and he was sweating desolately.

"General, you, you want to rebel?"

"It's not rebellion, it's leaving!"

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Xiu walked to the map in the tent, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Go to Jingzhou, go to Liu Biao! This person is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, sticks to the Three Rivers, has strong power, faces the pottery merchant across the river, and is listed as a The two great princes in the south, Cao Cao will not dare to retaliate against us unless he joins us."

Hu Che'er said urgently: "But even if we want to leave now, there must be a reason?"

"Reason? Yes!" Zhang Xiu seemed to have figured it out, and he said to Hu Che'er, "When I was talking to Fan Chou today, I learned that Li Jue had finished negotiating with Cao Cao in recent days and was going from the Nanyang frontier to Xuchang. Dedicated, Li Jue and I are both from the old tribe of Xiliang, I should take the initiative to invite Cao Cao to lead my troops to meet Li Jue and monitor his actions."

Hu Che'er suddenly realized when he heard the words.

"The general intends to continue to accept Li Jue's name, and then escape to Nanyang to join Liu Biao?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Of course."

……

Two days later, Zhang Xiu really asked Cao Cao to go to Li Jue who had come to join him.

When he remonstrated with Cao Cao, he was full of apprehension, not wanting Cao Cao to agree almost instantly.

While Zhang Xiu was full of joy, he ignored the haze and coldness in Cao Cao's eyes.

At the same time, according to Guo Jia's advice and arrangement, Xuzhou's soldiers and horses also quietly began to prepare for action.

Chapter 486 The Embarrassed Rebel General

According to the time given by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu rectified his troops and marched towards Nanyang County along the border of Runan County.

Li Jue's soldiers and horses are currently stationed at the junction of Nanyang County and Runan County, waiting for the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao to guide him into the country.

But from the very beginning, Zhang Xiu never wanted to welcome Li Jue back to Xuchang.

He led a group of former Xiliang Army troops headed by Hu Che'er, and headed for Nanyang County in a hurry.

When they arrived at the capital of Runan County, the general who led the heavy troops here was Le Jin under Cao Cao's command, and his deputy Niu Jin was stationed here.

After Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses arrived, he immediately sent someone to send customs clearance documents to the city to let Le Jin switch to make way.

After the envoy entered, less than a quarter of an hour later, Cao Jun's soldiers threw his head down the city wall.

Zhang Xiu, who was standing and waiting under the city, was shocked when he saw this.

He stared at the head in a daze, then raised his head, looked at the city wall above, and cursed loudly: "Le Jin! Ru'an who dares to kill me! I will go out of Yuzhou to handle errands with Cao Sikong's own handwriting. You are so rude! Are you not afraid of being punished by Sikong?"

Not long after Zhang Xiu finished shouting, Le Jin flashed out on the city wall with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, Sikong has an order, if General Zhang turns around now, there is still time, but if he is stubborn, You have to act recklessly, hehe, don't blame my ruthless swords!"

Zhang Xiu was horrified when he heard the words, and understood that Cao Cao had seen through his own thoughts, and had already asked Le Jin to ambush himself and his troops here.

In this way, I was the one who fell into Cao Cao's trick.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't answer, nor expressed, Le Jin ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows on the tower without any hesitation.

Countless arrows rained down from the city tower, and shot straight at Zhang Xiu's Chinese army.

Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were caught off guard and retreated in a hurry.

At this moment, the gate of the city opened, and a cavalry cavalry of the Cao army, led by a general with a big axe, rushed straight to the center of Zhang Xiujun to kill the general.

Although Niu Jin was young, he was a brave general. Under his leadership, the cavalry under Le Jin's command were unparalleled in bravery, and they could actually rival the Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command.

Zhang Xiu saw that Niu Jin was not one to wait for nothing, so he rushed to fight Niu Jin himself before jumping into the battle.
