The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308 Going south to attack Zhangxiu

Wei Tao didn't hide his actions too much, and soon this matter spread all over the world. After hearing this, many people were dumbfounded and dared not respond.

But there are also resourceful people who think so, thinking about whether it is really possible to annex it into the great man.

For counselors and military generals, one is the merit of founding a country, and the other is the merit of pioneering. Exploiting territories and territories is not something that can be achieved in any era.

In fact, after hearing this, even Liu Xie, who already had a grudge against Wei Tao, couldn't help but celebrate in the palace.

After all, Wei Tao was still a Hanchen at this time, after all, this matter still lies in what he did when he was the emperor.

Of course, there are also many people who have realized how powerful Wei Tao is now, and the Xianbei people have some strength anyway, but in the end they were easily eliminated by Wei Tao, which really makes people sigh.

Of course, there are also many people who are wary of it. If they face Wei Tao's army one day, what should they do to be able to compete with Wei Tao.

At this time, Wei Tao naturally didn't think about other people's thoughts. After making sure that everything was on the right track, Wei Tao returned to Yecheng, Jizhou.

Now the situation in the world has become clear, Wei Tao sits on the north, and can be said to be the number one prince in the world.

The second is Cao Cao. Although he was defeated in attacking Jiangdong, Cao Cao, who has mastered the mainland of the Central Plains, is not much worse than Wei Tao in terms of strength.

The second is Liu Bei in Yizhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Both of them can be said to dominate one side.

In the end, the one who can be called a prince along the way is naturally Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists, and Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, so it can do something, but it is a pity that Liu Biao is called "Eight Horses", but in fact he is a "closed door dog". Apart from scholars, other heroes from all walks of life regard it as a piece of fat in their hearts.

It's just that Liu Biao is still alive, and others are unwilling to do anything.

But in the second year after Wei Tao took down Wuhuan, the news came that Liu Biao was seriously ill and could hardly be a director.

"My lord, don't miss this opportunity. If my lord captures Jingzhou, I can destroy Yizhou and seize Jiangdong. I can encircle Cao Mengde and gradually eat away at it. If I miss this opportunity, let others take the land of Jingxiang. Then I am afraid that there will be a confrontation between the North and the South, and the peace of the world may not be in sight at that time, so I ask the Lord to make a decision."

After entering the hall, Zhou Yu did so as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Liu Biao is still sick, and his successor is still undecided, so it is impossible for any of the princes to attack Jingzhou at this time to benefit others. Naturally, our army should continue to wait, but our army going south There is that embroidery blocking the way, if you don’t pull it out, you will not be able to go south. The lord needs to make a decision long ago.”

Wei Tao nodded slightly. Although what Zhou Yu said was not too fresh, it was indeed true. If he wanted to compete in the Central Plains, he must take the first step and pull out Zhang Xiu's "nail".

"Gong Jin's words are not bad, and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were Dong Zhuo's subordinates in the past, and they once occupied Chang'an. They can be said to be disobedient ministers. If the lord wants to ask him, he must be a famous teacher."

At this time Xun You also spoke, although his face was calm, but he couldn't help but tremble a little between his words.

Xun You has always been loyal to the heart of a great man. He understands what it means to say these words, but he still speaks in the end.

"Gongda doesn't have to be like this."

Wei Tao did not answer what they said, but let out a long sigh.

But facing Wei Tao's comfort, Xun You smiled reassuringly.

"My lord doesn't have to be like this."

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, already knowing that even if he didn't untie his knot, Xun You would not be trapped by it, so he stopped talking.

"Gongda, Gongjin, I also understand what you mean. If this is the case, then I will pass on my orders, saying that Zhang Xiu, the criminal minister, has offended Tianwei in the past and has never repented. If he is willing to plead guilty, then let it go. If not, he will definitely be punished." Wancheng as punishment!"

What he said was just an excuse, even if Zhang Xiu was wrong, it was really not Wei Tao's turn to take care of it, but even if Wei Tao raised troops, he still had to have a reasonable excuse.

After all, the emperor didn't make an order at this time, but Wei Tao's excuse is not very tenable.

But following Wei Tao's order, Zhuge Jin immediately asked for his order, and Wei Tao agreed, and then there were Sili soldiers under the leadership of Zhao Yun, who went all the way to Wancheng for the vanguard.

For this battle, Wei Tao has not waited silently for this period of time, and he does not know how long he has been preparing.

That's why with one order, there is a large army moving.

When moving in such a majestic manner along the way, Wancheng was already in chaos.

Zhang Xiu gathered everyone to discuss this matter early on.

"In the past, my uncle led all of you to the south, and it was with great difficulty that Liu Biao handed over Wancheng, so that I could have a safe place to live. But now that Wei Tao is coming north, with Wei Tao's strength, it is natural to say nothing, even if we wait If you try your best to resist, I am afraid that you will be defeated in the end, but if you surrender, let alone whether you can accept it, it is hard to say just its status."

As soon as Zhang Xiu opened his mouth, he laid out all the problems, and his face was quite sad. If he could, he naturally hoped to become a local tyrant, but these words already showed that even surrendering was not unacceptable.

The former gun king of the North has been living in Wancheng, and his ambitions have been wiped out. It is normal to say such words.

In fact, it is not only Zhang Xiu, but also Zhang Xiu's subordinates, but the reputation of persuading the Lord to surrender is really bad. Even if these people are willing, it is not easy to say it.

But these people are not useless, at least someone said to Zhang Xiu after thinking for a while.

"General, Wei Tao is powerful and has a strong army. It is difficult for our army to fight against the enemy. In this case, why don't the general ask Mr. Wen He to discuss it? With Mr. Wen He's wisdom, he will definitely be able to point out the way for the general."

Zhang Xiu only leads Wancheng, he can't be a prince, and he doesn't have that ambition, so he only asks his subordinates to call him a general, not a lord.

"How did I forget Mr. Wenhe?"

Hearing his subordinate mention it, Zhang Xiu slapped his thigh immediately and said.

"Quickly invite Mr. Wenhe... No, quickly follow me to invite Mr. Wenhe!"

Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, maybe not many people know his abilities in this era, but anyone who knows him will lament his extraordinary resourcefulness.

And his status in Zhang Xiu's army is also quite high. Whether it is Zhang Ji in the past or Zhang Xiu today, he has to pay attention to what he said, and even has a sense of obeying.

"Wei Tao's purpose in coming north was not for the general alone, but for Jing Xiang. However, since General Zhang Ji in the past obeyed Liu Biao's advice to resist the troubles from the north, now that Wei Tao is coming north, the general has no choice but to stand in front of him. "

Jia Xu is also a top strategist, when he heard Zhang Xiu hastily finished speaking, he explained it calmly.

"I also know about this, but please tell the general, should we fight or surrender?"

Zhang Xiu wasn't that impatient at first, but now that Wei Tao put a lot of pressure on him, he couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the question.

"The general wants to surrender?"

When Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu's words, she understood what Zhang Xiu was thinking, but at this moment Jia Xu shook her head.

"No matter what the general is, Xu Ke can tell you that if the general surrenders without a fight, he will probably die."

"what!"

Zhang Xiu was shocked suddenly, and lost his voice in disbelief.

"Is Wenhe wrong? Wei Tao's ambition is in Jingzhou. Even though Xiaowancheng can block it for a while, it can't be blocked forever. How can it be so necessary to kill me? Even though Dong Gong was alive in the past, I was I have fought with him several times, but at that time, I suffered again and again, Wei Tao didn't suffer any damage, so how can there be so much hatred?"

If it wasn't for Jia Xu who was speaking, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu couldn't help but slap him with a slap at this time. No one would be willing to accept surrender, rather than a war.

But hearing what Jia Xu said, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but panic.

"The general doesn't know something. These days, I have already been probed by the general about Zhuge Ziyu's speech. Although I don't say I can know everything, I still know about seventy-eight percent."

Jia Xu said without haste.

"The general's strength is insufficient, and he has the morale of the army. If the general surrenders, it is impossible for the general's soldiers to be used. If these soldiers are used, the general should be reused. However, the general surrendered without a fight, but he had to be reused. But Wei Tao What do the generals under his command think? At that time, the general will definitely be made things difficult, and with the general's temperament, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the end. Therefore, if the general surrenders without fighting, there is a possibility. One is to be on guard at all times, and the other is to have Inadvertence is the end of death, and the other is the general voluntarily giving up military power. In this way, although there will be no rights in the future, with Wei Tao's mind, the general will definitely not be liquidated in the future, and the family's wealth can still be preserved. "

Zhang Xiu was completely stunned on the spot and couldn't say anything. He wanted to say that Jia Xu was ridiculous, but he found that he couldn't say anything. After thinking about it carefully, he found that what Jia Xu said was somewhat possible.

Can't decide for a while.

If you really want him to give up all his military power and let his life and death depend on others, no matter how decadent Zhang Xiu is, he will not be reconciled.

"Mr. Wenhe, do I, Zhang Xiu, have nowhere to go? Doomed to die here in the First World War?"

"That's not the case. After all, the general has been in Wancheng for a long time, and there are many soldiers under his command. In addition, the general's bravery is also a rare Jiang Ling. So now the general still has several paths to choose from, depending on the general's wishes."

Jia Xu didn't hide anything, but replied very directly.
