"Misunderstanding? I believe you!" Zhang Xiu sneered in his heart, but Cao Cao hadn't finished speaking, "However, no matter when and where, breaking military discipline and robbing people are serious crimes!"

When Cao Cao said this, he turned to Cao Xiu and shouted angrily, "Cao Xiu, are you guilty?!"

Cao Xiu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he chose to confess directly.

Kneeling on one knee, Cao Xiu clasped his fists towards Cao Cao and said, "The last general is convicted, and I will let the Taiwei punish me!"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Xiu deeply, and suddenly said: "Drag it out, chop it up, and use the law of the army!"

"Ah!" Cao Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.

When Cao Ang, Cao Chun and others heard the words, they immediately knelt in front of Cao Cao and begged for mercy, "Father, although Wen Lie is guilty, he is not guilty of death!"

"Brother, please be merciful!"

But Cao Cao didn't reply.

His personal guards had no choice but to walk out of two people, holding Cao Xiu's arms on the left and right, and dragging him towards the outside of the city.

Zhang Xiu is not an idiot, how could he not see that Cao Cao deliberately acted for him?

If Cao Cao really beheaded his nephew, he might not be able to stay under Cao Cao's command with peace of mind in the future.

Zhang Xiu took a step forward, cupped his fists and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, Taiwei!"

After seeing Zhang Xiu stand up, Cao Cao finally raised his hand to stop the two guards who were dragging Cao Xiu away.

"It's just a misunderstanding. Besides, my aunt is fine. Although General Cao Xiu is suspected of violating military discipline, he is not guilty of death. Please forgive me."

It's all about robbing people, if it wasn't for Cao Xiu who happened to rob him, Zhang Xiu might not even bother to lift his eyelids...

Cao Cao looked at the flexible and stretchable Zhang Xiu in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly nodded, "Knows the situation, knows how to measure, not bad, he is a talent to make."

Cao Cao wanted to kill Cao Xiu, although there was some bluff, but his attitude was clearly revealed.

Moreover, the reason Cao Cao used was the felony of corrupting military discipline and plundering the population. Even if Cao Xiu could be spared the death penalty, he could not escape.

Sure enough, Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu's persuasion, but he still said: "Since the Marquis of Xuanwei pleaded for Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu will be spared the death penalty. But it is a fact that Cao Xiu corrupted military discipline and robbed the population, and the death penalty can be avoided."

When Cao Xiu heard that he didn't have to die, he was so frightened that he almost left his body early, he finally got over his breath.

With the support of his personal guards, Cao Xiu, whose legs were so weak, knelt down in front of Cao Cao again. He first cupped his fists and said to Cao Cao, "Thank you, Taiwei, for your kindness."

Then he turned around and apologized to Zhang Xiu, "Thank you Xuanwei Hou for pleading for me."

Zhang Xiu nodded and stopped talking. He had already finished the part of the scene that should be performed with Cao Cao. Now that both parties have made their attitudes clear, the matter is almost over.

The result was not bad, Cao Cao finally showed a smile on his face, and said: "Remove Cao Xiuyi from his post, and go to Chenliu County to raise horses for Zilong's cavalry."

"Huh..." Cao Xiu let out a foul breath. Although he was dismissed from his official position, being able to stay in Chenliu County shows that Cao Cao has not completely given up on him.

"Thank you, Captain, for your kindness," Cao Xiu finally staggered to his feet after thanking him again.

Handing the helmet and saber to Cao Jun's personal guards, Cao Xiu walked out of the city alone.

Seeing the back of Cao Xiu leaving, Cao Cao sighed slightly in his heart, "Wen Lie, I hope you can regain your strength under Mr. Lu's hands."

After hearing the word "Zilong", Zhang Xiu was thoughtful, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Dare to ask the Taiwei, the Zilong you are referring to is Changshan Zhaoyun Zhao Zilong?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and replied, "That's right, it's Zhao Zilong from Changshan."

After Zhang Xiu got an affirmative answer, his face showed joy, and he said, "Reporting to Taiwei, Zilong is my junior brother whom I haven't met yet!"

"Oh?" Could it have anything to do with it?What a surprise!

"Haha, that's such a coincidence!" Cao Cao laughed, pointing to Zou and the others who were still guarded by Cao Jun's personal guards, and said, "Xuanweihou, please send your aunt back to your residence first. Let's come in While drinking, talk in detail!"

"Here!" Zhang Xiu responded loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.

Under the command of Zhang Xiu, the Xiliang army escorted Zou and others to leave, and he himself entered the mansion with Cao Cao to drink and chat.

Jia Xu, who was carrying a package and was about to escape alone, never heard the expected fighting sound, "Could things have changed?"

Jia Xu, who was puzzled, put down the package on his back and came to the street.

But he just happened to see Xiliang soldiers walking around and talking a lot.

Seeing Jia Xu, some soldiers came to salute and greet him.

Jia Xu took the opportunity to ask, "How is the battle between the general and Cao Jun?"

"Battle situation?" The soldier was puzzled by Jia Xu's question, and he was another soldier who was more clever, and replied: "Back to the military division, Cao Taiwei was not rude to his wife, and later he punished the one who robbed her." Generals under his command.

Right now...you should be having a drink with the general..."

"Huh? Cao Cao can hold back Zou Shi?" Jia Xu was a little surprised.

The soldier in front of him also said with some emotion: "Yeah, I can't imagine that there are men in this world who can resist touching my wife..."

"Could it be that his old Cao can't bear it, but can't? Hahaha!"

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!" After Jia Xu scolded lightly, he said, "Go back and pack your things, we may be leaving Wancheng soon."

The soldiers hurriedly clasped their fists in response: "Here!"

Looking at the mansion where Cao Cao lived temporarily, Jia Xu murmured to himself, "It seems that this Cao Cao is not only talented, but also has a first-class disposition... Maybe becoming his subordinate is also a good choice."

Chapter 59 Yuan Shao's ambition

The boss Cao in history, after Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight, has been dazzled by a series of victories.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Cao Cao, who was wise and decisive in the past, suddenly dropped his vigilance after entering Wancheng.

In the end, because Zhang Xiu's aunt fell asleep, Zhang Xiu rebelled, and Cao Jun suffered a disastrous defeat.

This time Cao Cao not only lost his beloved general Dian Wei, but also lost his most important heir, which completely changed the future Cao Wei pattern.

Fortunately, under the effect of Lu Yan's vaccination and booster injections for Cao Cao, Cao Cao maintained his sanity and did not feel complacent.

Although there were still some problems during the trip to Wancheng, under the proper response of Boss Cao, the danger was finally saved.

Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu talked about the past and the present, and discussed the general trend of the world. They talked until late at night. Because the night was too late, the two of them simply went to sleep.

Two days later, when the army was ready, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao and Li Tong to lead 2 people to guard Wancheng.

He himself led the remaining [-] soldiers and returned to Xuchang, Yingchuan, together with Zhang Xiu's Xiliang army.

So far, Cao Cao took Wancheng without bloodshed!

For a time, the world shook!

......

Jizhou, Yuan Shao.

Xu You stood in the middle of the hall, cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao, "Master, relying on the prestige of the emperor, Cao Cao took down Wancheng without bloodshed, and then the whole Nanyang County. Liu Biao of Jingzhou dare not speak out!"

Yuan Shao supported his forehead with one hand. To be honest, he already regretted not listening to Xu You, Tian Feng and others' suggestion to welcome the emperor.

But at the beginning, he was the one who didn't want to welcome the emperor, and now he really couldn't bear to admit his mistake, so he could only choose to keep silent.

At this time, Ju Shou also stood up.

He took a look at Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others who urged Yuan Shao not to welcome the emperor, and then he cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, Cao Cao not only captured Wancheng, but also falsely passed on the emperor's edict ordering Liu Bei, the shepherd of Xuzhou, to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Drive away tigers and wolves!It peeps into the heart of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and it is obvious! "

When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt some pain in his forehead and heart.

Yuan Shu is such a jerk, it's hard to understand what is going on in his head.

The people of the world are drawn to the Han Dynasty, and there are so many princes standing side by side, how dare you brazenly proclaim yourself emperor!

Originally, the Yuan brothers formed a two-hero power to rule the world from the north to the south. As long as they develop steadily, in the future when they join forces, which prince can resist?

As long as the heroes are wiped out, it will be the matter of the brothers behind closed doors. No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will be the world of the old Yuan family!

Yuan Shao regretted in his heart: "Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu... the great situation will be ruined in one day! Cao Mengde was right, what is not enough is a plan!"

However, as soon as Yuan Shao thought of Cao Cao, he thought of Nanyang Wancheng, and by the way, he thought of the emperor who seemed to have a great effect... So not only his forehead, but Yuan Shao's temples also swelled and ached...

"Then Liu Bei is a fool. He was actually ordered to attack Yuan Shu... Didn't he know that it was Cao Cao's false order and not the real emperor's edict?" Guo Tu was very angry.

Tian Feng also stood up at this time and said, "What's the difference? For Liu Bei, who claims to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, do you think he can disobey the orders from the court?"

"Then why didn't Liu Biao and others follow orders?"

"Because they are really Han family clan!"

"..." What Tian Feng said made sense, but Guo Tu couldn't refute it.

No one knew whether Liu Bei's clan status in the Han Dynasty was true, so Guo Tufengji had nothing to say.

Xu You saw that his opponent had stopped talking, so he decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "Then Cao Cao saw through Liu Bei's weakness, so he expected Liu Bei to send troops to attack Yuan Shu in order to maintain his image!"

"Using the emperor's edict cleverly, Cao Cao solved two threats for himself, so he dared to lead an army to attack Zhangxiu in Wancheng." After Ju Shou finished speaking, he felt extremely sad. If Yuan Shao had listened to their words, he would welcome the emperor first , that now... alas!

The more Yuan Shao heard it, the more unhappy he felt. Although he made a mistake in decision-making at the beginning, you don't need to keep digging up old scores, right?

Seeing that Tian Feng was about to come out to sing the trio again, Yuan Shao immediately stopped impatiently: "Enough!"

"The Son of Heaven is already in the hands of Cao Aman, is it possible that we can snatch him back?"

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out of his mouth, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, Xu You's voice suddenly sounded: "My lord is wise!"

Yuan Shao was at a loss, why did he suddenly become wise again?

Xu You's tone was gratified, and he explained: "My lord, Gongsun Zan is now a turtle in a urn, but a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be able to jump around for a few days.

After we have completely wiped out Gongsun Zan and occupied Youzhou, we will have to consider how to deal with Cao Cao. "

Suddenly, Yuan Shao thought, "Yes! Before the unification of the north, Cao Cao was his reliable ally and solid backing.

But when I eliminated Gongsun Zan and unified the north, Cao Cao became a stumbling block on my way to the south... Sooner or later, I will have to fight Cao Cao! "

After figuring this out, Yuan Shao's jealousy towards Cao Cao also dissipated. Anyway, as long as Cao Cao is killed, the emperor is still in his pocket!

At this moment, Yuan Shao got up slowly, his eyes staring at his civil servants and generals who were patrolling him back and forth,

"Let's allow Cao Ah to be proud for another two days.

After I eliminate Gongsun Zan and unify the north, I will show him what real strength is! "

"Master is mighty!"

"My lord Shengming!"

At the same time, Liu Bei led his army to attack Yuan Shu, and the two armies faced each other in Xuyi and Huaiyin.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shu's lack of time to look south, Sun Ce led the army to capture Wu County, and officially announced that he would separate from Yuan Shu and rule Jiangdong!

......

On the other side, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu returned to Xuchang together.

Lu Yan, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others who had been waiting for a long time came to the gate of Xuchang City to welcome the triumphant master.

When Cao Cao saw Lu Yan standing in front of him, he disregarded his appearance, got off his horse and came to Lu Yan in a hurry, and then bowed his hands deeply!

"???"

The civil and military officials who came to greet the city gate were surprised and puzzled, but there was no sound.

Lu Yan was also taken aback by Cao Cao's actions, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately helped Cao Cao up and asked, "Mr. Cao, why are you doing this?"

Cao Cao shook his head. Seeing Lu Yan at this moment, he felt a little emotional, a little scared, and a little bit wronged. Anyway, he has mixed feelings, and he has everything in his heart...

Cao Cao said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am grateful for the reminder, sir, otherwise the Wancheng business will be in danger for us..."

Lu Yan's heart twitched, and he had been alert in advance, but there was still a danger?

But Lu Yan's expression was well controlled, and he said to Cao Cao calmly: "We'll talk about this matter later, let's finish the cutscene first..."

"Okay" Cao Cao patted Lu Yan's arm, and then returned to his team.

At this time, Lu Yan suddenly sensed that someone was looking at him.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of his line of sight,

Lu Yan found that the person who was looking at him was a middle-aged scholar in his 40s who was eight feet tall and had a majestic appearance.

Without thinking, a name naturally popped up in Lu Yan's mind: "Jia Xu, the poisonous man!"
