There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Although Niu Jin was brave and fierce, his opponent was Zhang Xiu, who was known as the spear king of the Northland. After Niu Jin faced him, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

But it is a pity that it is obvious that Le Jin is not the only soldier Cao Cao arranges.

From the other four directions, there was a sudden and earth-shattering cry of killing.

The five ambush soldiers Cao Cao placed took advantage of this juncture to move towards Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses.

One way is Cao Jiang Shi Huan, one way is Jia Kui who has recently joined Cao Cao from Hedong County, the other way is Yuan Huan, and the other way is Zhang Ji.

The one in the middle is the most powerful, and it is Cao Xiu, who was praised by Cao Cao as the Cao family's thousand-mile horse.

After the soldiers of the Five Routes stormed Zhang Xiu, they turned the people killed by his Xiliang soldiers on their backs. At this time, Le Jin in the city also led another army out. Zhang Xiu's subordinates are generals.

Zhang Xiu himself, under the protection of Hu Che'er and a group of fierce Xiliang iron cavalry, cut a bloody path in Zhang Ji's army, and rushed straight to the rear.

A group of Cao generals chased after him, slaughtering the Xiliang generals left by Zhang Xiu on the scene, and at the same time dividing their troops to chase after Zhang Xiu, chasing and killing Zhang Xiu as much as possible.

Not to mention running out of Nanyang, Zhang Xiu was driven back by Cao Bing without even touching the border of Yuzhou leading to Nanyang County.

Zhang Xiu led the remnants of Xiliang's iron cavalry, ramming around like headless chickens along the way, running away to the east in a panic like a bereaved dog.

The soldiers and horses marched to the border of Wo Niu Mountain, but the Yellow Turban bandits who had surrendered to Cao Cao earlier, Huang Shao, He Yi, Pei Yuanshao and other soldiers blocked the way.

There were soldiers and horses in front of him blocking them, and fierce generals chasing them behind. There was no way to go to heaven or to go to earth. Zhang Xiu's first reaction was to draw out his weapon and prepare to wipe it on his neck, and said loudly: "I'm about to die , died here!"

Hu Che'er and a group of veteran generals from Xiliang rushed forward to prevent Zhang Xiu from cutting himself off with the horizontal sword.

Just when they tried to prevent Zhang Xiu from committing suicide, panic suddenly appeared behind He Yi, Huang Shao, Pei Yuanshao and the others.

However, several sturdy soldiers and horses rushed over to fight these Cao generals, and it turned out to be Xuzhou army in banners and costumes.

Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, Gong Du and others each led their troops to repel He Yi, Huang Shao and others, while Guan Hai, Dong Xi, Jiang Qin and others came forward to beat Zhang Xiu and others surrounded him.

At first, when Zhang Xiu saw someone helping him defeat Cao Jun who was chasing and intercepting him, a glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Xiu's heart, but when he saw that the soldiers who followed were Tao Jun, his heart that had just risen fell to the bottom of the valley.

A huge chariot, under the protection of a group of tiger guards, came to Zhang Xiu. The man on the chariot was dressed in golden armor, a red robe, white and beardless, very handsome.

His gaze first saw Zhang Xiu's flag, then fell on Hu Che'er's face, and said, "Your Excellency is Zhang Xiu?"

Hu Che'er hastily waved his hands and said, "No, I am Hu Che'er, General Zhang's lieutenant general."

Pottery merchant slapped his head suddenly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for the wrong person. Seeing your bones and domineering appearance, I naturally regarded you as the leader of an army. It's me, Meng Lang."

Regardless of whether what the potter said was true or not, Hu Che'er's ears felt comfortable.

This Mr. Taiping is really good at chattering and watching people!

The pottery merchant looked at Zhang Xiu who Hu Che'er was pointing at.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's disheveled and downcast face, he smiled lightly and said, "General Zhang, Tao has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Hearing the potter's self-reported purpose, Zhang Xiu didn't come up, and almost suffocated.

"You, you, how long have you been waiting for me? That letter of condemnation is really your plan to alienate me?"

The pottery merchant shook his head lightly, and said: "It's not a plan to alienate, what was described in my letter is the truth, Uncle Zhang Ji was indeed killed by Cao Cao, and Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng are now able to The survivors are all in Xuzhou, if General Zhang doesn’t believe it, follow me back to Pengcheng, and you’ll find out if you ask.”

In the current situation, Zhang Xiu has nowhere to go, and there are seven Cao troops chasing after him, so if he wants to go to Xuzhou with the pottery merchant, I'm afraid he can't do it.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, and said: "There are Cao's chasing troops behind me, please ask Taifu Tao to block them."

"Good talk!"

The potter snapped his fingers lightly, and Pei Qian behind him waved his command flag.

Immediately afterwards, there were Jiang Qin, Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, Gong Du, Guan Hai, Dong Xi, and the two generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai who were behind the pottery merchant just now, leading their respective troops. , Going straight to Cao Jun who was chasing up.

Although Xuzhou's army was powerful, they were disciplined and their formation was not chaotic at all. Facing the seven chasing generals of Cao's army, they had a faint advantage. In a short time, they temporarily killed the generals led by Le Jin.

Although Zhang Xiu also knew that the Xuzhou army was extremely powerful, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but be tongue-tied.

Seeing that Cao Jun had retreated, the Tao merchant immediately said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, don't be dazed, let's go, let's go back to Peixian County to have a heart-to-heart talk. If we wait for the main force of Cao Jun later, Tao will not be able to protect himself." You are considerate."

Chapter 487 The Heart of Yuan Nu

Zhang Xiu followed the potter back to Pengcheng.

In fact, he didn't want to come back with the pottery merchant. Although the pottery merchant revealed the truth, he did it intentionally and unintentionally. He didn't really want to help him avenge himself.

His real purpose was to provoke the relationship between himself and Cao Cao.

Under his deliberate operation, he turned against Cao Cao as he wished, and was kicked out pitifully with nowhere to run.

But right now, if he doesn’t go back to Xuzhou with the potters, Zhang Xiu will have no way out. The access to Nanyang has been blocked by the generals under Cao Cao. The soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants appeared in time, and now he is indeed buried in a foreign land.

It was with such contradictory feelings that Zhang Xiu came to Pengcheng.

A pottery merchant organizes a banquet to wash away Zhang Xiu's shock.

"General Zhang, the denunciation of the document has caused you a lot of physical and mental harm. Tao is deeply sorry."

Zhang Xiu was unhappy, raised his wine cup to the potter from a distance, and said: "Teacher uncovered the truth, which made Xiu feel relieved. It's too late for Xiu to be grateful to Tai Tu, so how dare he complain, Tai Tu doesn't have to be like this .”

Zhang Xiu's perfunctory expression was easily seen through by the pottery merchant. He chuckled, pointed at him lightly and said, "General Zhang doesn't care what he said, obviously he still has a grudge against Tao, but you don't know Tao Fan Nai is purely an act of fighting against injustice and upholding justice."

Ten thousand grass-mud horses raced through Zhang Xiu's heart.

It's unfair to beat Nima!

Give Nima justice!

This matter has nothing to do with you!

See what you owe.

The potter called Pei Qian and told him a few words, and Pei Qian came out immediately.

Not long after, Pei Qian brought back a person, no doubt, it was Yuan Wan who was currently staying in Dow's Pengcheng and was sheltered by a pottery merchant.

The pottery merchant smiled and said to Yuan Wan: "Miss Lao will help you to solve the doubts in General Zhang's heart."

After the pottery finished speaking, Zhang Xiu looked at Yuan Wan suspiciously.

But Yuan Wan took a deep breath and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, although the young girl is a girl, she was born in the Yuan family in Runan, and she also understands the principles of loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame. I respect the death of my uncle Zhang Ji. It is not a fiction of the little girl, and when Uncle Zun was dying, she asked the little girl to tell the general the truth, the reason why the little girl stood up and stated the facts was only to fulfill the wish of the deceased."

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Why?"

Yuan Wan said indifferently: "Before General Zhang Ji died, he feared that the general would not believe him, so he deliberately stated a major matter to the little girl, and it was also a matter of his face and a secret private matter with the general, which only you two know about. "
