Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165 Entering Chang'an
but said
Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You, who were negotiating, were all taken aback when they heard that Zhang Ji begged to see him alone.

You must know that they are in a hostile relationship now, and they even fought a battle today. However, Zhang Ji came to see them at this time, so how can you not be surprised? After all, I don’t know why Zhang Ji came here.
Cao Cao didn't refuse Zhang Ji's request to see him either. He didn't think that Zhang Ji had the ability to overthrow the hundreds of thousands of troops, and he also wanted to know why Zhang Ji came.

From time to time
The soldiers who reported also led Zhang Ji in.

As soon as Zhang Ji stepped into the main tent, he saw Cao Cao sitting on the main seat, and there were three people standing on the left and right sides, but there were no other people there.

However, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind. Before he entered the camp, he saw a stout man standing outside the tent with his sword in his straight hand, and from his posture, he knew he was a strong general.

If there is any action, people outside the account will definitely rush in immediately, and Cao Cao is not a simple person.

Concentrated for a while, stopped thinking about it, put a box aside, knelt down and said: "I have seen Mr. Cao!"

Cao Cao's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji's attitude made him a little uncomfortable, it was too respectful, so respectful that he couldn't adapt.

Immediately, he said lightly: "General Zhang, I don't know why you came here this time?"

"Lord Cao, please look!"

Zhang Ji did not answer directly, but took the box on the side, put it in front of himself, slowly opened the box, and showed the contents in the box in front of Cao Cao and others.

With the box opened.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You all stared wide-eyed. Cao Cao also stood up from his seat, looking very shocked.

The thing placed in the box was the head of Li Jue, who died with regret.

Cao Cao is also a person who has experienced many great events. He recovered his expression, sat back on his seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "General Zhang, what is the meaning of this?"

Although seeing Li Jue's head, he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't get affirmation, and he didn't dare to confirm it.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also looked at Zhang Ji, waiting for Zhang Ji's reply. They also had some guesses in their hearts. If it was true, then this matter could be said to be over, and the previously discussed Things can also be dropped.

"Lord Cao, I would like to use Li Jue's head and Chang'an City in exchange for our safety!" Zhang Ji cupped his hands and said, "It's inconvenient to say anything about the past, and it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, but this time I have no intention of opposing Master Cao, as for Li Jue and Guo Si, who wanted to oppose Master Cao for their own selfish interests, they have all been executed now!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao stared closely at Zhang Ji, trying to see something from Zhang Ji's face.

However, Zhang Ji didn't dodge Cao Cao's gaze, and his eyes were full of sincerity. After all, he has done what he should do, and there is no turning back. Only in this way can there be a way out. He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

"I wonder if General Zhang can obey orders under my command?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

Zhang Ji didn't expect Cao Cao to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses, bowed his head and said, "May the master sit on the saddle!"

"Haha, General Zhang please stand up!"

Cao Cao laughed and stood up from his seat, walked in front of Zhang Ji, and helped Zhang Ji up.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Ji said.

He knew that Cao Cao had recognized him, but he also understood that there would still be a lack of trust, so he didn't care too much, after all, he was just a demoted general.

"Congratulations, my lord, you have received a good general!"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You were also smiling. Zhang Ji came back with Li Jue's head, which was equivalent to taking Chang'an, and it was a kind of bloodless battle.

In addition, the Xiliang iron cavalry in the city is equivalent to being cast under Cao Cao's command. In this way, the troops will be stronger and stronger, without excessive wear and tear, and there is no need to fight a protracted war. They are also very happy in their hearts.

"I also ask General Zhang to return to Chang'an first to stabilize the overall situation. I will lead the army to enter Chang'an tomorrow!" Cao Cao said.

"I will live up to the trust of the lord!"

Zhang Ji bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and walked outside the tent.

Wait for Zhang Ji to leave.

"My lord!" Xun You said.

Cao Cao waved his hand, stopped Xun You from continuing, and said, "Don't worry, if Zhang Ji really has the intention to surrender, after returning, he will definitely let Xiliang cavalry set up camp outside Chang'an City, waiting for our army to enter the city tomorrow. Take the defense, if not~!"

"My lord is very wise!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said.

Xun Yu and Xun You also nodded in agreement. They also understood what Cao Cao meant. Whether they surrendered sincerely or pretended to surrender, they would know clearly tomorrow, and completely trusted Zhang Ji, which was impossible.

"Everyone go down and rest first, the results will be available tomorrow!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also left the camp after bowing their hands and saluting.

Calm was also restored in the main tent.

The next morning.

Cao Cao raised all his troops and approached Chang'an City.

When you came outside Chang'an City, you could see banners flying on the city wall, but there was not a single soldier on the city wall. There were camps on both sides of the city gate, and a road was left in the middle.

Zhang Ji led a group of generals to stand and wait at the front of the camp.

See here.

Cao Cao and the others also knew that Zhang Ji really wanted to surrender, otherwise they would not have greeted him in person, since he has many generals under his command.

If Zhang Ji had a different intention, Zhang Ji would definitely be the first to die.

Cao Cao didn't hesitate either, and led the army to the middle area vacated by the Xiliang army camp, and walked towards the city gate passage, accompanied by Zhang Ji and a group of Xiliang cavalry generals.

Follow Cao Jun into Chang'an City.

The defense of the city, the guarding of the city wall, etc., were all taken over by Cao Jun, and Chang'an City also fell into Cao Cao's hands.

Only then did Cao Cao trust Zhang Ji and let people start recruiting Xiliang iron cavalry. After all, Xiliang iron cavalry was suppressed by Zhang Ji. He is not at ease.

Therefore, it is inevitable to collect and reorganize, and at least they have to be dispersed.

Those who want to continue to join the army will stay; those who do not want to continue to join the army will be allowed to leave without forcing anything.

As for the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao did not treat him badly, and welcomed him out of the main business. However, all the ministers in Chang'an knew that the control of all major events was still in Cao Cao's hands. Without Cao Cao's approval, the Son of Heaven was just a decoration.

however.

When Cao Cao entered Chang'an and was busy stabilizing the situation in Chang'an.

An announcement came out from Shouchun, which shocked everyone in the world.
