Can I get to the other side?

Zhang Xiu left the city to surrender, which represented the complete fall of Wancheng.

After Cao Cao entered the city, he directly let his soldiers take over the city, and then held a big banquet to reward the lieutenants of the army.

At the Sheriff's Mansion, everyone gathered together.

Cao Cao held the wine glass in his hand and smiled at the soldiers: "This victory is not easy. You have worked hard. I toast you all!"

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

All the soldiers cheered for him, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Only Zhang Xiu and his generals were sitting in the banquet, and they were all silent, which seemed out of place in the lively banquet.

As generals of a defeated army, and the ones who went out of the city to ask for surrender, they were the most despised. This kind of banquet to celebrate victory was a complete torment for them.

"Why doesn't General Zhang drink?"

After Cao Cao finished drinking a glass of wine, he saw Zhang Xiu still holding the glass and said with a half-smile.

Zhang Xiu forced a smile when he heard this and said: "The general just thought of the soldiers who died in the battle and felt guilty. If he had asked Sikong to surrender earlier, their lives would not have been in vain."

This was of course an excuse, he couldn't say he felt humiliated by surrendering.

In this case, Cao Cao in front of him might be murderous.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

After hearing this, Cao Cao raised his head and laughed, and then said: "When marching to fight, is there any reason not to kill anyone? General Zhang chose to surrender this time, and he has saved the lives of the soldiers and people in Wancheng. He should be happy." "

"Here, take this glass of wine. I pay tribute to General Zhang for his profound righteousness."

Cao Cao said, raising his wine glass and saluting Zhang Xiu from afar.

"How dare you, how dare you."

Zhang Xiu quickly stood up and responded. Although he heard the ridicule hidden in Cao Cao's words, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

He drank a glass of wine honestly.

Only then was Cao Cao satisfied, and then he said seriously: "Now that the traitor Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, the emperor has issued an edict for all the princes to attack him."

"General Zhang is the nephew of the rebellious minister Zhang Ji. The emperor has pardoned your uncle's crime and asked you to make up for the crime with your merits. Why are you still reluctant to send troops to attack?"

This is the reason for attacking Wancheng this time.

Because Zhang Xiu did not respect the emperor's edict and did not attack Yuan Shu!

If even a little Zhang Xiu dares to openly disrespect the emperor's orders, then the emperor of Xu County will have even less prestige at all in the future!

That's why Cao Cao sent troops to attack him as a warning to others!

Zhang Xiu said with a look of embarrassment: "Da Sikong, it's not that the last general is unwilling to send troops, but it's actually because Yuan Shu is powerful and has many soldiers and generals, so the last general can't defeat him."

"If Da Sikong sends troops to attack Yuan Shu, the general will definitely lead his troops to follow and attack Buchen..."

"snort--!"

Before Zhang Xiu could finish speaking, Cao Cao slammed the wine glass down with a gloomy look on his face and anger hidden in his eyes.

"How can the emperor's decree not allow you to bargain!"

"You are an old member of the traitor Dong Zhuo. Back then, you followed your uncle to attack Luoyang. Now it's a favor for me not to kill you. You still don't know the crime?!"

Cao Cao was moody, and now he suddenly became angry, which shocked everyone.

Zhang Xiu immediately attended and knelt down in front of the hall, kowtowed and said, "I know that I have committed a crime. I will gather soldiers tomorrow to attack Yuan Shu!"

Looking at Zhang Xiu who kowtowed respectfully, the anger on Cao Cao's face subsided.

"That's right. If General Zhang had already acted like this, why should I come to attack Wancheng?"

"Okay, get up and keep drinking."

Zhang Xiu then stood up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and silently returned to his seat.

The banquet continued without any further interruption.

Cao Cao and a group of soldiers got very drunk and took up residence in the governor's mansion; but Zhang Xiu could only give up the mansion and take his subordinates and confidants to live in other mansions.

"Dian Wei, Dian Wei!"

In the side room, Cao Cao was lying on the bed and kept calling Dian Wei's name.

Dian Wei was waiting outside the room. Hearing this, he came in and asked respectfully: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"You...come here!"

Cao Cao, drunk and hazy, grabbed Dian Wei by the collar and pulled him to him, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are there any beauties in this city?"

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, but he understood his lord's preferences. After thinking about it, he said, "I just saw Zhang Xiu and his family moving to other mansions. There is a woman among them who is quite beautiful."

"But... this woman is Zhang Ji's widow Zou, Zhang Xiu's aunt."

"Oh."

Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, sat up unsteadily, and burped from wine and said: "Zhang, what about Zhang Xiu? A defeated general is worthy of being angry?"

"Go and get fifty soldiers, and fetch the men with me."

After hearing Cao Cao's order, Dian Wei naturally had no objection and turned around and left the wing without saying a word to go find someone.

…

After Zhang Xiu left the governor's mansion, he took his family members and confidants to live in other mansions in the city.

But not long after, Dian Wei led fifty soldiers into the house and forcibly took Zou away.

When the servant reported the news to Zhang Xiu, he was discussing the next countermeasures with his staff in his study. He was shocked when he heard this.

"That thief Cao kidnapped my aunt?!"

Zhang Xiu stood up suddenly, grabbed the servant's collar and asked.

Now half of the man's face was swollen. Hearing this, he said with tears, "Yes, general. The captor is Cao Cao's general named Dian Wei."

"He said that Cao Cao wanted to invite his wife to the palace to discuss matters, but when we stopped him, he actually went ahead and killed him!"

Luckily for him, he only got slapped and survived.

"Ah ah ah! Thief Cao! You are bullying others too much!!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were about to burst. When he heard this, he became furious. He turned around and took off the sword hanging on the wall, wanting to fight with Cao Cao!

Many counselors in the study saw it and rushed to stop him.

"General, no! General, calm down!"

A slightly stout scribe quickly stood up and hugged Zhang Xiu, stopping him firmly.

"Jia Xu! Let me go!"

Zhang Xiu was furious at this time, his eyes were red, "I have been raised by my aunt since I was a child. I regard her as my mother!"

"You said you should calm down? If someone molests your aunt, how can you remain indifferent!"

"Let me go quickly! I'm going to fight Cao Cao!"

Jia Xu gritted his teeth and said: "General, if you go now, you will die in vain! If you want to kill Cao Cao, then just listen to my subordinates!"

These words finally brought Zhang Xiu back to his senses.

He no longer struggled, but panted heavily, stared at Jia Xu and asked, "Do you have a way to kill Cao Cao?"

"have!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiu had calmed down, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to tidy up his appearance, and then said confidently: "This strategy will definitely kill Cao Cao in Wancheng!"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he bowed it directly to Jia Xu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please enlighten me!"
