Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103 Cao Cao VS Lu Bu 1
"Report! General! Zhang Xiu asks to see you!" The subordinate's report disturbed Yuan Shu, who was tasting wine with the beautiful woman in his arms.This made him a little unhappy. "Really! Zhang Xiu! A mere school lieutenant, what is he doing here to see this general!" Yuan Shu said angrily.

He was quite dismissive of Zhang Xiu.

snort!Back then, the relatives of the Yuan family were massacred by Dong Zhuo. Although they had nothing to do with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu was also Dong Zhuo's team!After being defeated by Lu Bu, he came to seek refuge, but he didn't have any troops or food.

Yuan Shu has always regarded himself very highly, a famous family of four generations!However, in the war with Cao Cao and Liu Biao, this didn't work, and Yuan Shu was always defeated.Because of this, plus Zhang Xiu can be regarded as a strong general, known as the spear king of the North, and he has no generals in his hands, so Yuan Shu took him in and ordered him to be a school lieutenant and lead three thousand troops.

"Then let's meet!" Yuan Shu said, to see what this guy is up to.

When Zhang Xiu came, he saluted seriously as soon as he entered, showing great respect to Yuan Shu. "My subordinates see the lord!" he said.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me! This general is busy!" Yuan Shu waved his hand proudly.

"This subordinate is guilty! During the previous battle with Cao Cao, this subordinate seized a batch of treasures in a county and kept concealing them from reporting them. This subordinate is guilty!" Zhang Xiu said. Embroidered well thought out.It can be said that he stretched out his hands and opened his mouth to eat, just waiting for Yuan Shu to eat!

"Oh!" When Yuan Shu heard it, he was not surprised but pleased, and he was not angry at all. He gently pushed away the two maids beside him, and there seemed to be a green light in his eyes. "Then why are you saying it now?"

really!It's the same as what Cao Cao's special envoy said!Not only will Yuan Shu not be angry, but he will also be proud!Zhang Xiu thought to himself, he knew a little more about the abilities of Cao Caojun and those people.

"I heard that our army is currently short of money and food, and there is a gap in military expenses! Zhang Xiu feels uneasy, and the lord has treated me with great kindness! Take me in and order me, a defeated army, to be a dignified captain! Zhang Xiu has always been grateful for the kindness of rebuilding." It is a great crime to conceal, fear and shame in the past! Today, I am here to dedicate the treasure to the wise lord!" Zhang Xiu said again, gaining confidence in the rhetoric taught by Cao Cao's special envoy.

"Hahaha! It's easy to say, easy to say! Lieutenant Zhang is so loyal, it's really worthy of my general's cultivation!" After hearing this, Yuan Shu did not get angry, but instead smiled.

It was not uncommon for the generals under his command to collect belongings during the war and put them in their pockets, but Zhang Xiu took the initiative to hand them over, which was considered a sincere gesture of loyalty!

No accident, Yuan Shu's thinking is like this.If he had a long-term view, he would not have been fishing for the common people, and made Nanyang County, Runan County, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, which were originally under his sphere of influence, all be alienated.

These have not become his base, so although his territory is large, it is not as solid and stable as Lu Bu's Guanzhong, Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou.As a result, he suffered repeated defeats.Otherwise, with his once powerful strength, it is not empty talk to unite with Gongsun Zan to dominate the land of Kanto.

"Okay! This general will accept it!" Yuan Shu looked at the several boxes that were carried in, and said with satisfaction. Although it was not as good as a small part of his treasures, it was not too small!

"What do you want? Do you want to be promoted?" Yuan Shu squinted his shrewd eyes and asked Zhang Xiu.

"I don't dare! It's my honor to present treasures to the lord. If there is any request, I will resign immediately!" Zhang Xiu said. At this time, he admired the words of Cao Cao's special envoy.Even Yuan Shu's reaction was expected, so I still listen to him!

Behind the special envoy is naturally Guo Jia who has insight into people's hearts and characters!
Yuan Shu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, a little surprised, Zhang Xiu is really loyal!He is very satisfied.

Zhang Xiu retreated obediently, and didn't even mention attacking Lu Bu for revenge.

Let's talk about Cao Cao, he led thousands of elite troops, marched rapidly for several days, left Yanzhou, crossed Chenliu County, and then arrived in Zhongmou County!Since Cao Cao's army did not move, there was not much pressure on food and grass. He quickly and unexpectedly appeared in the land of Zhongmou, approaching Hulao Pass in Xingyang.

"Raise the banner of my Cao Mengde! Put up the banner of the Chinese army on the tower! Then send a small team to the Luoyang area to make trouble. The scouts don't care so much, just wanton investigation!" Cao Cao ordered.In this era, the banner of the lord, the subjects and subordinates cannot be easily displayed.

The banner of the Chinese Army represents the Lord himself!
Cao Cao was so public, Yang Feng and Li Le in Luoyang naturally received the news very quickly.

"Cao Cao personally led the army, and they are coming! They are going to attack Luoyang again!" They were terrified, and they quickly got together, intending to protect themselves, and discussed it.

"Cao Cao led the army to appear in Zhongmouyi, and they are calling! What should we do?" Yang Feng said with anxiety. "What can we do? Soldiers come to block you! Hit and hit!" Li Le said angrily, but he obviously lacked confidence.

"Don't be so stubborn! Cao Cao's army has killed us, how can we resist? Or ask Lu Bu for help! Isn't he going to protect us?" Yang Fengdao, didn't Lu Bu win him over?Now, it's difficult for him, so he has to save him!

"You think too much! Lu Bu is far away in Chang'an, and the thousands of people to the west are just guarding the pass! Far water can't save the near fire! Cao Cao's forward, said to be Xiahou Dun, has already occupied Hulao Pass! " Li Le said angrily when he was refuted.

"I can't beat him, and Lu Bu can't count on him! What else can I do, just wait for death!" Yang Feng said angrily.

The two were speechless and silent for a while.

"Then, let's surrender to Cao Cao! Anyway, we are not Lu Bu's subordinates. Now that disaster is imminent, we can only admit it!" Li Le said.These two never thought about why Cao Cao wanted to fight Luoyang, whether he would fight Luoyang, and whether it was worth fighting Luoyang.Their thinking is more direct.

As Guo Jia said, they are at best just a large-scale banditry, and it is always difficult to achieve great things.

Before Cao Cao called, it was just intimidation and threats with force, and the two guys couldn't wait to surrender.

Naturally, Cao Cao had no intention of attacking and occupying Luoyang. What Lu Bu thought of, he naturally thought of it. "Very good! In this case, order them to write a letter of guarantee and hand over the hostages!" He ordered.The envoy went, according to the order, said Cao Cao's conditions, the hostage, but it was vague.

Yang Feng and Li Le looked at each other, wrote letters unwillingly, and handed over a few random hostages.

"Anyway, there's nothing to lose! Reputation, what a fart! If the hostage dies, he will die! As long as we are safe! If Lu Bu settles the score at that time, we will follow whoever is stronger!" They were actually quite proud.Because under Cao Cao's attack, they still kept the territory!
