The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Xianbei Comes from the North
"Zhang Xiu..."

Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Wei Tao hesitated a bit.

"I wonder if my lord has any doubts?"

Seeing Wei Tao's involuntary hesitation, Zhuge Jin felt a little strange, and said immediately.

"Don't dare to hide my lord, after I took charge of Sili for the lord, because I had a good relationship with Na Wancheng, I had contacts with that Zhangxiu a few times, and I found out from the conversation that he was definitely not the lord, and had a relationship with him. The will of others. With the ambition of the lord, the more brave generals like that embroidery, the better."

Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It was just that when Wei Tao thought of being able to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender, he also thought of one thing.

In history, when Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, he also persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender, but later because he took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law, he made Zhang Xiu rebel. and die.

Wei Tao asked himself that he is not a lustful person, and there are many beautiful people in his family, so he will definitely not make the mistake of Cao Cao.

The reason why Wei Tao hesitated was because he was worried that Zhang Xiu would be dissatisfied with what he got, and would rebel again, and it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

It is not unfounded to know that Wei Tao would do such a thing.

In history, Cao Cao did take a fancy to Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law, but the reason why Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law was favored by Cao Cao was that she was offered by Dian Wei.

Dian Wei is a general at any rate, even if he followed Cao Cao's order to find a woman for him, how could he be so reckless to find Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law?
Even if Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law is really beautiful, the number one beauty in Wancheng might not be so.

Even if Dian Wei didn't know, wouldn't everyone else know too?
But in the end, no one reminded Cao Cao, otherwise, if Cao Cao knew about it, no matter how infatuated with Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law's beauty, he would not take it so easily.

Without him, Zhang Xiu surrendered without fighting, which is shameful, especially in the hearts of generals like Dian Wei, who did not take Zhang Xiu high at all.

And Zhang Xiu's subsequent rebellion was probably not just because of the humiliation. After all, it was not uncommon for a woman to remarry at this time. With Cao Cao's spirit, Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law would still be able to get a share of status.

So to put it bluntly, Zhang Xiu was humiliated because he understood that Cao Jun's generals didn't pay much attention to him at all. If you think about it again, could it be that even Cao Cao himself didn't pay much attention to him.

As a general of an army, if he is not taken seriously by the commander, then the result in the future will be nothing but the result of being taken away by the sun and the moon. In the end, after all the military power is taken, then it will be the result of being left behind.

Naturally, Zhang Xiu couldn't accept such a result, and immediately rebelled. Suddenly, Cao Jun suffered heavy damage, and the first attack on Wancheng was a failure.

Although Wei Tao will not suffer from widowhood, but if Zhang Xiu surrenders, he must be looked down upon by others, and he must not be willing to serve Wei Tao at that time.

And it has been operating in Wancheng for several years, and it is impossible for Wei Tao to give up on his elite soldiers. Even if it is impossible for Wei Tao to be defeated as in history, the hidden dangers are not small.

"My lord's concern is justified!"

After hearing Wei Tao talk about his worries one by one, Zhuge Jin nodded slightly and said.

"That embroidery has the title of the Northern Spear King, and his heart must be arrogant. Even if he surrendered to the lord because of his lack of talent, he still wants to use his own ability to make contributions under the lord's command, not to be ignored by others. If such a thing really happened, that Zhang Xiu would definitely surrender and rebel. Since that is the case, why doesn’t the lord fight with him first, to subdue his arrogance and let him show his strength, wouldn’t it be more appropriate?”

"Ziyu's words are not bad, but I'm afraid it's difficult to grasp it? If after our army goes south, Zhang Xiu will come to surrender immediately. Is it okay? If it is because of fighting each other on the battlefield to become enemies, he will not surrender in a deadly battle. So what? It's better to be like this, to have a trick and just do it."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly. It would be even more troublesome to act rashly in the absence of a tacit understanding between the two parties.

As for fighting with Zhang Xiu, even a three-year-old child would not do it. If Zhang Xiu has not surrendered for a day, then Zhang Xiu can be regarded as Wei Tao's opponent for a day. There is no reason to easily leak the situation in the general to the opponent.

When the time comes, the other party will make a pretense, and then take advantage of Wei Tao's unpreparedness to make a surprise attack. Even if Wei Tao's troops are strong and strong, the loss will not be small.

So hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhuge Jin was helpless for a while.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. In a short period of time, our army has nothing to go on an expedition. We will discuss this matter later. It's just a small city. With the strength of our army, as long as the army goes south, it will definitely be able to win in one fell swoop." Break it."

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao put the matter aside temporarily.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Sili, and after the Son of Heaven returned to Xuchang, he no longer aimed at Wei Tao and Sili. Wei Tao was also relieved to lead his troops back to Jizhou.

The power of the world is divided and united. In the past, there were many princes, each fighting endlessly, but now many princes in the world may have been destroyed. Among them, the most powerful princes, Wei Tao and Cao Cao, want to recuperate and do not want to fight again. Entered a brief period of peace.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. Compared with the past, the world has been peaceful in this year.

However, recently Yizhou sent people to Xuchang to congratulate the emperor, and at the same time, he asked the emperor to deprive Liu Zhang of his status as Yizhou shepherd and instead let Liu Bei become Yizhou shepherd.

More importantly, the messenger was none other than Liu Ye, a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as this trip came out, the whole world was shocked.

As for Liu Bei's ability, most people in the world now know it, especially Cao Cao and Wei Tao, who understand it even more.

But now that the emperor is no longer in his own territory, it is impossible for Wei Tao to object even if he wants to, but if Wei Tao can't do it, then Cao Cao can.

But Cao Cao Cao was silent about this.

Although outsiders don't know the reason, Wei Tao knows that during this period of time, many advisers under Cao Cao's command often went in and out of Cao Cao's mansion to discuss, often for several hours once they entered.

Among them, Xun Yu was regarded as a crime.

Obviously, these people are all close to the Son of Heaven. Although they are also assisting Cao Cao, they also hope that the Han Dynasty can be strong, and that Cao Cao and Liu Bei can both support the Han Dynasty and bring peace to the world.

Of course, some of Cao Cao’s subordinates don’t care about the Han family, or they don’t agree with the Han family, and only agree with Cao Cao, but most of these people are generals, and most of them are Cao Cao’s relatives. Before Cao Cao didn’t express his opinion, they were not good. It is to express one's own attitude.

Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang was named Anle Gong and placed in Hanzhong, while Liu Bei was given the title of Yizhou Mu and officially led Yizhou.

After Liu Beiyi ruled Yizhou, he greatly promoted Yizhou people and won people's hearts. He even married the Wu family of Yizhou, which was recognized by Yizhou people.

Yizhou has already belonged to Liu Bei.

But in the same way, if Liu Bei wants to go out of Sichuan, then he may go north to attack Wei Tao. Wei Tao is powerful, and Liu Bei has fought against Wei Tao. Even if Liu Bei is now occupying Yizhou, he may not dare to fight. ,

The other way is to go south to Jingxiang, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou is also a clan of the Han family. If Liu Bei wants to attack Jingzhou, it is also unreasonable.

So Liu Bei can only continue to recuperate for a while, as long as Liu Biao is still there, Jingzhou is not chaotic, and many princes will not move for a day.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Although Jingzhou wanted nothing to happen for a while, the North made some moves. After receiving the news, Wei Tao looked forward to report to him. Zhou Yu and Xun You were speechless for a while, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"Budugen, the leader of the Xianbei, has led people to annex Wuhuan, and a large number of Wuhuan have moved south to Youzhou. And Budugen still ordered me to hand over all the Wuhuan people. If not, he will attack me. ?”

Although he was repeating the meaning of the news, there was an indescribable cruelty in Wei Tao's voice, his voice paused slightly, and then he opened his mouth to speak.

"Why did Budugen have such courage? Didn't he know that Ke Bineng, the leader of the Xianbei, died in my hands, so what is a mere Budugen?"

"My lord, please forgive me for offending me. It's not that Budugen doesn't know the name of the lord, but the lord doesn't know something."

Hearing what Xun You said, Wei Tao didn't mind, but just waited quietly for Xun You's explanation.

"That Budugen was originally hostile to Ke Bineng. The two each led a large tribe to fight against each other. It can be said that it greatly depleted Xianbei's strength. After the lord beheaded Ke Bineng, Budugen was on the side of the faction. When people attacked and plundered Wuhuan, they used this as an excuse to annex their tribes. This is how they gradually became stronger. Although those Xianbei people knew the purpose of Budugen, but in order to plunder the wealth of my great man, those Xianbei people It is impossible for him to fulfill his promise, even if Bu Dugen doesn't want to go south. What's more, he also intends to invade my big man."

"It turned out to be so."

Wei Tao frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, there was such a twist in the matter. He actually accelerated the unification of the northern grassland invisibly, making him a threat to the big man.

"Did the Xianbei people take action?"

"My lord, on the one hand, we are sending envoys, and on the other hand, we are dispatching troops. I am afraid that even if we accept the conditions, we will inevitably have to fight. The so-called envoys are just to paralyze our army."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, how can such a small conspiracy be hidden from them?

"However, if this is the case, we can make another fuss. At that time, the lord will meet with him for a while, and then he will not respond, and the rest will be left to me and Gongda. It must make Xianbei take it lightly and eat it. One loss."

To Zhou Yu's words, Xun You also smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Wei Tao was naturally unwilling, and immediately nodded slightly in approval.

"This matter is handed over to Gongjin and Gongda."
