Great Wei Nengchen

Forced by the situation and inspired by sincerity, Zhang Xiu chose to take refuge in Cao Ying. Since he came to Guandu, he went to the battlefield in person, bravely killed the enemy, held on to the left-wing defense line, and made great military exploits. thing!

However, after fighting desperately and making great achievements, Zhang Xiu still felt uneasy. The hatred of killing his son was irreconcilable. For the sake of the world's great affairs, Cao Cao chose to endure for a while. Who can guarantee that he will not retaliate in the future? Taking a step back, even if Cao Cao does not miss the past I hate it, but what about a group of generals from the Cao family?

In the battle of Wancheng, besides the eldest son Cao Ang, dozens of Cao's children were killed. For this reason, Zhang Xiu set up a banquet to entertain the generals of the Cao family in order to resolve the conflict between the two sides. As a result, only the fourth son-Cao Zhi came , the rest of the people did not respond, this incident greatly stimulated Zhang Xiu!

The generals of the Cao family did not want to come to the banquet because they did not want to resolve the conflict. Now that Cao Cao is alive, he can still suppress it. Once Cao Cao dies, how can these generals of the Cao family not take revenge? There are tens of thousands of Xiliang athletes, Zhang Xiu also needs to plan ahead!

"If you want to be loyal to the Cao family, but the hatred is hard to get rid of. If you turn against me, you are afraid that your conscience will be disturbed, and you will be in a dilemma. What should you do?"

Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is fierce, and once it is used, it is as fast as wind and fire, unstoppable, but in terms of personality, it is completely opposite. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't make a decision, so I have to use the last move--"Yes Questions, ask Jia Xu!"

Chapter 875 The poisonous man makes a move, and the plan is calculated!

Aocang Day Camp - In a remote place, there is a lonely cowhide tent, small in size, simple in decoration, without banners, without guards, it is no different from ordinary soldiers' tents, it is only for people to live in, who would have thought Unsurprisingly, the owner of this small tent is the famous 'poisoner' - Jia Xu!

Jia Xu is introverted by nature, taciturn, never envious of false fame, has always valued reality above all else, and has the ability to "peek into people's hearts and make guesses right". One mouthful, if you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin. The previous battle of Wancheng was the work of this "poisoner", who almost killed a generation of traitors. The cleverness of the method is evident!

The 'Poison Warrior' is ruthless, powerful, but very simple in life. He usually has nothing to do in his spare time. He roams around the camp, wearing only the uniform of ordinary soldiers, and has no special treatment. I thought he was an old soldier, even the tent where he lived...

A small cowhide tent, ordinary on the outside, simple on the inside, just a quilt, a table, a couch, a cup and a pot, a butter candle, a few changes of normal clothes, not even a servant, usually washing clothes , cleaning, all done by Jia Xu himself, it is extremely shabby, not worthy of the reputation of "poisoner" at all!

"Supreme goodness is like water. Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. It deals with the evils of all people, so it is almost in the way... Living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, speaking kindly and trustworthily, governing well, doing things kindly and capable, and doing good things, one does not fight. So Wuyou... Wonderful! - Wonderful! - Haha!"

Late at night - in a small tent, Jia Xu was wearing a long robe and holding a volume of "Tao Te Ching". He was reading at night by candlelight. Seeing the subtleties, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, as if he had melted into the scroll. ’, Are we a poisoner...’Three thousand people drowned, and all those who crossed died! '

Jia Xu doesn't like gold, silver and jewellery, food and wine, or beautiful women. His only pleasure in life is reading books. He carries a dozen boxes with him, full of wood and bamboo slips. It's all night long, reading at night by candlelight, so that I forget to eat and sleep, just like going crazy!

"Boom! Boom!... There is an urgent matter in the army, and it is difficult to make a decision. 'Tiger Head' came late at night and disturbed Mr. Yaxing, please forgive me!"

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhang Xiu came to the door of the small tent. After tidying up his clothes, he bowed to greet him, and reported his baby name, completely pretending to be his son and nephew!

"Hehe! - The general came here late at night, there must be some important business. It just so happens that the old man has nothing to do, and I want to find someone to talk to by candlelight at night. General, please come in!"

Inside the small tent, Jia Xu is holding a scroll in his hand, sitting still, his aura is as steady as Mount Tai, but his slender eyes are full of light, and he has some guesses!

Since Jia Xu became an official, he first helped Li Jue defeat Chang'an, and then Zhang Xiu defeated Wancheng. He wanted Jia Xu to enter the prime minister's mansion and arrange a good official position, but he declined it politely!

On the one hand, there are many talents around Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Mao Jie... are all resourceful people, and they are very close. Scholars' lives are simple, but they are very proud in their hearts. They never want to be inferior to others, they only want to be the chief counselor!

On the other hand, Zhang Xiu is simple in heart and obedient to his words. He usually treats each other with respect to his nephew and nephew, greets him in the morning and evening, and never neglects him. She went astray and killed the whole family!

"Yuan Shao sent an envoy with generous gifts and promises of high officials and rich salary. Let me follow the example of Yingbu and Li Guangli and make a quick blow to break through the defense line at Guandu. This is too important a matter. I don't know what to do. Please. Mister do it for me!"

While speaking, Zhang Xiu took out a letter, a gift list, and a gold seal of the general who conquered the South, and put them all on the table. He completely trusted this 'Xiliang poisoner'!

Unexpectedly, after listening to Jia Xu, instead of saying a word, she closed her eyes and meditated. There was no movement for a while, as if she had fallen asleep!

"Dare to ask sir, it's a matter of life and death, whether it's rebellion or defense, where to go, and see how my uncle cares for his loneliness, please tell me something?"

In desperation, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to beg, and even his dead uncle came out. Without Jia Xu's advice, he would be helpless!

"Hehe! Don't get me wrong, General. When I brought up the matter of betrayal, the old man remembered what happened to Yingbo and Li Guangli, so I didn't answer it!"

Jia Xu didn't speak much, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhang Xiu hard on the heart, and his face was ashamed of ashes in shock. He is also a person who has a good knowledge of history books, so he naturally understands the meaning of these words...

Yingbu was originally a general of Chu, followed the overlord Xiang Yu to destroy Qin Yougong, was canonized as the king of Jiujiang, and ruled Jiujiang and Lujiang counties. Later, he was tempted by the interests and took refuge in Liu Bang, the king of Han, and attacked the Chu army from behind, and even joined the princes. , broke through Pengcheng, encircled Gaixia, and forced Xiang Yu to commit suicide, which is a pity through the ages!

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the meritorious ministers were conferred, and Yingbu was named the "King of Huainan" to rule the four counties of Jianghuai. First he trapped and killed the King of Chu, Han Xin, and then chopped the King of Liang, Peng Yue, into meat sauce. Seeing that something was wrong, Ying Bu rebelled immediately.

The same is true for Li Guangli. He was a general in the mid-Western Han Dynasty, and the elder brother of Mrs. Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Relying on his nepotism, Li Guangli was granted the title of "General of the Second Division" and conferred the title of Marquis of Haixi. He made several expeditions to the countries of the Western Regions. The scenery is infinite!

Later, Li Guangli's ambitions swelled, and he even colluded with civil and military officials, intervened in the dispute between the crown prince, and wanted to embrace his nephew, but was disgusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. A year later, it was killed by the Xiongnu Shanyu and used to sacrifice to the gods!

Jia Xu used Yingbo and Li Guangli as examples, implying that Zhang Xiu, for the sake of immediate interests, made a quick blow and betrayed Cao's camp. Same, decapitated, end miserable!

"Sir, what you said is right. It's hard to end well for a rebellious general. However, I have tens of thousands of soldiers in my hand, which is not comparable to Li Guangli. If I fish in troubled waters, I might not be able to make great achievements!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu's heart turned cold, but he still hasn't given up the idea of ​​turning against him. People in this era pay attention to: 'a man, a man, if he can't eat five dishes, he should cook with five tripods'. Wealth and glory can be spent at all costs, rarely think about the affairs behind, enjoy it first and then talk about it!

"Glory and wealth, take it immediately. With the martial arts of a general, as long as you fight the enemy bravely, why not worry about wealth and honor? If you are lucky enough to turn against the enemy and take a shortcut to obtain wealth and honor, there will be three harms and one defeat. Please listen carefully Of!"

Jia Xu also knew that it was difficult to persuade a vacillating general with just a few words, so he raised four fingers and carefully analyzed the pros and cons of defecting...

"The general was originally a remnant of Xiliang, wandering in all directions, with no one to rely on. Fortunately, Prime Minister Cao was magnanimous, and he took it under his command. He was named a marquis, given food, and married. He treated each other very well. He was comparable to an old minister. The general turned against him. , It is really ungrateful, people in the world will definitely despise it, and leave a stigma in the Quartet, this is one of the harms!

Yuan Shao's family has four generations and three princes, known as the "No. [-] family in the world", and all the civil and military officials under his command are all from prominent families. They only look at the family status, regardless of their talents. How can they achieve great things with such a method of employing people... The general came from a poor family in Xiliang , if you take refuge in the Hebei Group, I am afraid that everyone will squeeze you out, you will have no one to rely on, and you will never have a day of prosperity. This is the second evil!

Since he took refuge in Cao Ying, the general's wife, children, and children have all been settled in Xuchang City. The prime minister's mansion allocated them to the mansion and gave them a salary. The placement is very appropriate. Most of the Xiliang general's family members are also like this. If the general turns against him, they will stay in Xuchang. I am afraid that my life will be lost. This is the three evils!

After talking about the three evils, Jia Xu paused, took out a jug and a wine glass, filled them up, drank them all in one gulp, lowered his head and sighed for a long time, then looked to the south with deep eyes, three points of admiration, three points of doubt, three points Sigh, and a bit of fear!

"If it was two months ago, the general, regardless of the affairs behind him, decided to fight against the enemy, with Yuan Shao's troops outside to support him, and the old man inside to make suggestions, suddenly raised troops and burned Ao Cang, there would be a [-]% chance of winning. Can't turn the situation around!

But now, the Battle of Huainan is over, Sun Ce lost his troops and lost his generals, and fled all the way back to Jiangdong. The situation has changed!

The most frightening thing is - Xiao Lang with a ghost face. This man is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a wolf. On the surface, he does not move, and he must be planning in secret. Well, a wise general should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so why bother to take refuge in the defeated army? "

"What Mr. said is very true, turning back at this time is tantamount to seeking death... I will kill the envoy and return all kinds of gifts to show that I will never surrender!"

After listening to the theory of "Three Harms and One Defeat", Zhang Xiu no longer has the heart to rebel. When he thinks of the words "Ghost Face Xiao Lang", he is even more frightened out of his wits. Turned into a skull lamp?

"Messages, letters, seals... it's better to send them to the camp of the Chinese army and hand them over to the prime minister. It can also show the general's loyalty and win the favor of the generals... As for gold, pearls, jade walls, and beauties? , you can keep half of it and share it with the soldiers, and return the rest to Yuan Shao, and send a letter—forgive me, I will return the original!”

Jia Xu waved his hand, how could he not take a bite of the fat that was delivered to his mouth? As for swallowing half of the belongings, there will naturally be someone who is "blame the blame". up!

You use "counter-indirect tactics" to bribe the general, and turn against him, but the old man "uses tricks" to let you shoot yourself in the foot. Talking about black belly and ruthless Xiliang poisonous people, no one is afraid of it...Of course , Xiao Lang is an exception!

Chapter 876 Don't mess up when things go wrong, be as stable as Mount Tai!

late at night! - Cao Jun camp - inside the tent of the Chinese army!

The shadow of the candle is shaking, the silence is silent, the wormwood is burning, and the strange fragrance is wafting. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty - Cao Cao, wearing a golden crown of eight treasures, wearing a soft armor of python scales, and a red cloak, is sitting behind the handsome desk. He is reviewing memorials. To be firm and sharp, to command thousands of troops, to fight decisively in front of the two armies; to hold a wolf pen at night, to review official documents from all over the country, and not to abolish the government affairs of the court.

The battle at Guandu has been going on for more than half a year, and the progress of the war has made Cao Cao more and more confident. The soldiers united as one and fought desperately, repelling Yuan Jun's countless attacks. Tens of thousands of people will come to support, and the battle will be reversed. Defeating my old enemy-Yuan Shao is no longer elusive!

However, there is a good saying: "The fortress is the easiest to break from the inside." Cao Cao was not worried about the battle at Guandu. What really worried him was the stability in the rear, especially the civil and military officials in Xuchang. Over [-]% Being from a noble family, once he colludes with Yuan Shao inside and outside, it will be troublesome!

Therefore, Cao Cao sent a large number of spies, spies, and undercover agents to monitor all relevant situations, the private contacts of civil and military officials, the words and deeds of the little emperor, and the daily life of the concubines in the harem...all within the scope of surveillance. In the meantime, try not to leave any loopholes, even in the Guandu camp, a lot of people have been placed to secretly monitor the generals, lest someone rebel and defect to Yuan Shao's command!

"My lord, the prime minister, the military spies have urgently reported that there are strangers in the Aocang camp, which may not be good for the army!"

There are only a handful of people who can enter and exit at will in the Chinese military camp, and Tiger Chi-Xu Chu is one of them, holding a secret report in his hand with four chicken feathers pasted on it, as a sign of urgency!

"Yuan Jun's envoy carried heavy gifts and entered the Aocang camp late at night. After talking for a long time in the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Xiu actually concealed it and did not report it. There may be a change in Xiliang's soldiers..."

After reading the secret report, Cao Cao was also shocked. It is a big taboo in the army to receive the enemy envoy and receive a heavy gift. Could it be said that the Wancheng incident is about to happen again, and there will be another rebellion?

Since Zhang Xiu came to seek refuge, he has bestowed official positions, titles, and eunuchs on his own. The two families have also entered into an marriage relationship. It can be said that they treat each other very kindly. After making great military exploits, he sent an order to reward him, and bestowed armor, gold, silver, silk and satin... Logically speaking, there is no possibility of Zhang Xiu's betrayal?
