The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

"Military Master, do you mean that you want me to surrender to Cao Cao?" Zhang Xiu's expression was very ugly, "I killed Cao Cao's eldest son and general. If I surrender to Cao Cao, I will be slaughtered! No way!"

Jia Xu shook his head, with a confident expression on his face, he said: "Otherwise, Mr. Cao is a wise ruler, and his ambition is in the world. Now that Cao Yuan is confronting each other, the war is imminent. It is the time when Mr. Cao is short of major generals. If we go to vote, it will really be a gift in the snow. How could Mr. Cao refuse, he will definitely treat the general well!"

"No, no! Even if Cao Cao doesn't hold grudges against me, the rest of the Cao family will especially let me go? It is absolutely impossible to surrender Cao Cao!"

Zhang Xiu categorically rejected Jia Xu's proposal.

This made Jia Xu a little disappointed, and could only sigh: "If the general does not want to surrender Cao, you can ask Duan Yan for help, write another letter, and ask for Liu Biao's reinforcements, but I heard that Sun Ce is attacking Jiangxia, and Liu Biao may not be able to do so in time." Pull out reinforcements!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's heart was also extremely heavy, and thinking of Hu Che'er's life or death, he was worried and unable to make up his mind.

When Jia Xu saw it, there was a gleam of joy on his cold face. He knew that Zhang Xiu had already been persuaded by him, and he had the plan to surrender Cao. As long as he tried his best to encourage Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu could make up his mind.

So Jia Xu took a step forward and continued: "The general thinks, compared with the Bingzhou army, whose soldiers and horses are stronger?"

Zhang Xiu's face darkened, although he was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Yi's Bingzhou Army is superior to me in terms of strength and number!"

"Then the general thinks that if there is no reinforcements, and without such strong generals as Hu Che'er, Wancheng, he can stop the Bingzhou army's attack?" Jia Xu asked in a gloomy tone with an expression on his face.

A gloomy look immediately appeared on Zhang Xiu's face.Silence.But it showed a look of listening.

Jia Xu was determined, knowing that Zhang Xiu had been shaken, and continued: "Master, our army is small now, and our strength is no match for the Bingzhou army. If Lu Yi attacks with all his strength, Wancheng will definitely not be defended. If Wancheng is lost, the general will be in danger. Hey! Why don't you take advantage of the heavy army now, fortify the city of Nanyang, and surrender Cao! Mr. Cao has the ambition to dominate, and when he hears the general surrender, he will release his personal grievances and make his virtue known to the world. Don't forget your master!"

"This..." Zhang Xiu was obviously a little moved when he heard Jia Xu's words. He hesitated for a while and asked, "Although what the military division said is reasonable, but I heard that Cao Cao's army has not yet returned to Xuchang when he marched against Liu Bei, but Bingzhou The army is right in front of us, what can we do?"

"Well, my lord can secretly surrender to Cao. On the surface, you can still ask Liu Biao and Duan Yan for reinforcements. First hold back the Bingzhou army, and then wait for Duke Cao's army to arrive, and cooperate with the outside to destroy Lu Yi and Liu Biao's reinforcements in one fell swoop. , wouldn't it be another great achievement!" Jia Xu said with dark eyes and a cold tone.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he felt an inexplicable chill all over his body, but it was undeniable that although Jia Xu's plan was vicious, it was completely for Wancheng's consideration. Although Zhang Xiu felt sorry for Liu Biao, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Immediately entered the city and sent three waves of envoys, one to Huayin to ask Duan Yao for reinforcements, one to Xiangyang to ask Liu Biao for reinforcements, and the other to Xuchang with Zhang Xiu's letter of surrender.

………………

And within the state army barracks.

After repelling Zhang Xiu's cavalry, Lu Yi immediately ordered his men to gather his soldiers and take a rest, preparing to attack Wancheng in the morning. Of course, it would be even better if he could force Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Hu Che'er was also tied up and put into the tent of the Chinese army.

Above the main seat, Lu Yi was sitting there with a golden knife, and when he saw Hu Che'er coming in, he smiled slightly, and said to his guards: "Bold, I asked you to invite General Hu Che'er to come in, but why did you tie him in?" !"

After finishing speaking, Lu Yi went down personally, took out a dagger, cut the rope on Hu Che'er's body, and said with a smile: "General Hu has been wronged!"

Hu Che'er has deep eyes, high nose, and golden rings on his ears. He is a standard barbarian, but he can speak Chinese very well. He has lived in Nanyang for a long time and knows a lot about Han family affairs.

Seeing Lu Yi's actions, Hu Che'er immediately sneered and said, "General Lu, don't talk nonsense. Although Hu Che'er is a Hu, he knows loyalty. If you want to kill him, kill him. If you want me to surrender, it is absolutely impossible!"

"The general really doesn't want to surrender?" Lu Yi didn't expect that Hu Che'er was still a loyal person, which seemed a little different from the Hu people's eye for money.But this kind of talent is exactly what he is willing to accept.

"A certain family will not surrender!"

Hu Che'er is also stubborn, although he knows that he will be killed if he does not surrender, he is still tall and straight, and has no intention of surrendering.

Lu Yi couldn't help sighing a little, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, he could only call the guards, took Hu Che'er away, and ordered: "Good wine and good meat will be served."

"General Lu, you won't kill me?" Seeing the guards coming in, Hu Che'er thought he was going to behead him, but who knew that Lu Yi didn't kill him, so he stopped in his tracks.

Lu Yi laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Killing you will help, wait until I defeat Zhang Xiu, and then talk to the general!"

"My lord will not be defeated!" Hu Che'er couldn't help replying when he heard it, and was taken away after he pressed it.

The rest of the guards also retreated consciously, leaving only the generals of Bingzhou.

Kneeling and sitting on the seat again, Lu Yi lost the smile on his face, but looked around everyone with all his coldness, and his eyes finally fell on Gao Shun and Zang Ba.

"General Gao, General Zang, now that Zhang Xiu is defeated, it is the best time for us to besiege Wancheng. I order you to prepare siege equipment immediately and prepare to attack Wancheng!" Lu Yi said in a deep voice.He even took out two command arrows from the quiver on the table.

Gao Shun Zang Ba was overjoyed, he got up quickly, and was about to take the command arrow.

"Lord, wait a minute!"

A big general stood up, but it was Gan Ning who had just surrendered. Seeing Gan Ning and Su Fei standing up together, he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the two of us joined the army, and we still have a lot of merit. I would like to lead the troops this time. Attack Wancheng!"

"Xingba, the lord gave us the military order to attack the city!" Zang Ba was in a hurry when he saw Gan Ning coming out to claim meritorious service, he quickly jumped out and retorted loudly.

"My lord, Gan Ning doesn't want too many troops, 8000 men are enough!"

"I don't want too many soldiers and horses, but only [-] infantry!"

Zang Ba said loudly without backing down.The two were about to quarrel in the military tent.

This made Lu Yi laugh. He didn't want his two generals to have a estrangement because of this matter, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Okay, the two generals don't have to fight anymore! The siege of Wancheng should be handed over to General Gao and General Zang!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zang Ba was affirmed by Lu Yi, walked up happily, and took the command arrow.Gan Ning was dejected and silent, looking very disappointed.

Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled slightly. Naturally, he didn't want to neglect Gan Ning, so he said with a smile: "Xingba doesn't need to be depressed. Although you can't attack Wancheng, there is still a dangerous place, and you need a strong general like Xingba to do it." Break through!"

"My lord, please let me know!" When Gan Ning heard that there was still a battle to be fought, the disappointment on his face disappeared.Full of excitement, even Su Fei was eager to try.

Although the two of them are in charge of the navy, there are not many opportunities for the Bingzhou Army to fight in the water. If they want credit, they naturally want to get it from the land battle, and naturally they will not stand by.

Lu Yi also wanted to let the two of them make some contributions to win over his heart, so he said: "Wuguan is the west of Wancheng, and it is the most important passage to enter the pass. No matter whether we can capture Wancheng, this place must be the first Time to seize, you follow me to Wuguan!"

"It turns out that the lord is going to enter the pass!"

Both Gan Ning and Su Fei suddenly realized, no wonder Lu Yihui came all the way from Lujiang, the Guanzhong land is very suitable for the Bingzhou army to gain a foothold.

Among the generals of the Bingzhou Army, many of them were just as Gan Ning thought.

Only Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other true confidantes knew Lu Yi's exact purpose, but everyone was tacit and did not say it out.

Lu Yi is also slightly looking forward to what kind of expressions Gan Ning and Su Fei will have when they know where they are really going.

And this day is not too far away.

As long as Wuguan is captured and broken, he will soon fight for his foundation.But before that, Lu Yi still hoped to force Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Not for anything else, but because there is a poisonous man Jia Xu in the city, he must destroy this Wancheng!It is impossible for him to leave such a talent to Cao Cao.

Thinking of Cao Cao, something suddenly came to Lu Yi's mind, and his face suddenly became serious.

If he remembered correctly, Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Cao Cao this year. If he attacked Wancheng by himself, there was no guarantee that Zhang Xiu would not ask Cao Cao for help!

"No! We must immediately attack and besiege Wancheng!"

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Yi felt that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, so he stood up abruptly, and loudly issued the military order!
