Chapter 207
Wancheng.

The messenger Cao Cao sent killed three horses along the way, and then rushed to Wancheng at the fastest speed.

"Report." The guard came to see Zhang Xiu, and said to Zhang Xiu: "General, the messenger sent by Prime Minister Cao came to ask for an audience."

Hearing that Cao Cao sent a messenger, Zhang Xiu suddenly panicked.

On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao came to persuade him to surrender at the same time.

At that time, Zhang Xiu wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao who seemed stronger.However, Jia Xu advocated surrendering to Cao Cao.

You know, Yuan Shao was much stronger than Cao Cao at that time!

However, since Jia Xu served as Zhang Xiu's military advisor, Jia Xu's strategy has never been missed.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's suggestion and surrendered to Cao Cao.

The development of the matter was exactly as Jia Xu expected, the seemingly powerful Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao.

This made Zhang Xiu admire military advisor Jia Xu very much, and what Jia Xu said was true.

After Zhang Xiu took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not embarrass him, but continued to let him be in charge of the defense of Wancheng.

Nothing has changed, this Wancheng is still Zhang Xiu's, it's just that there is an extra Prime Minister Cao on his head.

Although Cao Cao didn't make things difficult for Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu always felt unreliable in his heart.

After all, when Cao Cao came to attack Wancheng, his beloved son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin died.

Zhang Xiu always felt that after Cao Cao cleaned up Yuan Shao, he might take his life.

This time, when Cao Cao sent a messenger, Zhang Xiu's heart was pounding. He thought, it's probably because Prime Minister Cao came to kill me.

Although Zhang Xiu's heart was pounding, he dared not miss the messenger sent by Prime Minister Cao!

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and annexed Yuan Shao's territory.Cao Cao's current strength is really too great. It can be said that half of the whole world has fallen into Cao Cao's pocket.

Before the Battle of Guandu, there was another Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fighting in separate courts.Therefore, Zhang Xiu can also use Wancheng to fight Cao Cao.

Because, at that time, Cao Cao had to beware of Yuan Shao, and it was impossible to deal with him with all his strength.

Now that such a powerful force as Yuan Shao has been defeated by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu really doesn't have the guts to fight against Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu thought to himself, if Prime Minister Cao really wants to kill me to avenge his son and nephew, I can only kill him.

"Hey!" Zhang Xiu sighed heavily, and told the guard who came to report, "Bring Prime Minister Cao's messenger to see me!"

Soon, the guards came to see Zhang Xiu with the travel-worn messenger.

Seeing the messenger, Zhang Xiu quickly asked: "Dare to ask the messenger, what orders does Prime Minister Cao have?"

How could Zhang Xiu not care about his own life and death?

Now, Zhang Xiu was afraid that Cao Cao wanted his life.

The messenger took out Cao Cao's letter from his bosom, and said to Zhang Xiu, "This is a letter written by Prime Minister Cao himself, but I dare not read the contents."

"Prime Minister Cao has ordered that this letter must be handed over to General Zhang himself."

Hearing that Cao Cao had brought him a personal letter, Zhang Xiu began to make up his mind again.

Zhang Xiu thought to himself, could it be that Prime Minister Cao wrote a secret letter to let me end myself and save some face for each other.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu was already pondering in his heart, should he take poison or hang himself!
"Come"

"Give me this letter!" Zhang Xiu's tone was trembling.

The guard handed the letter to Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu opened the letter with anxiety.

Zhang Xiu opened the letter written by Cao Cao, and when he saw the first few lines of the letter, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Cao Cao's tone of voice to him was very polite, and he didn't mean to murder him.

In this letter, Cao Cao explained the difficulties he was encountering now, and also explained his purpose.

Seeing that Cao Cao's purpose was to borrow his military advisor, Jia Xu, instead of taking his life, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After reading Cao Cao's handwritten letter, Zhang Xiu also knew that it was the Wuhuan people who came to commit the crime, and Cao Cao was in a hurry.

That's why he had to recruit his military adviser Jia Xu to help him.

Zhang Xiu has surrendered to Cao Cao, and he is now Cao Cao's subordinate.

It stands to reason that if Cao Cao wanted to call Jia Xu, it was an order.

And now, Cao Cao also wrote a letter to Zhang Xiu, which shows that Cao Cao has attached great importance to Zhang Xiu.

The Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was an era of serious internal strife.

However, these warriors still understand the righteousness of the nation.

In peacetime, the various princes fight among each other, and they all compete for the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty, the country and the others can compete for it, but how can they tolerate the Wuhuan barbarians?
This is like two brothers fighting for family property, and the scalps of the two of them can bleed.However, if you have outsiders who want to rob them of their property, then the two of them must work together to beat the outsiders away first.

What's more, now that Zhang Xiu has taken refuge in Cao Cao, under such circumstances, he must stand with Cao Cao and fight against the Wuhuan barbarians together.

After reading Cao Cao's autographed letter, Zhang Xiu slapped the letter on the table and said, "Why did Prime Minister Cao only recruit Jia Xu, a military advisor, but not me, Zhang Xiu?"

"I, Zhang Xiu, are known as the spear king of the Northland. In this battle with Wuhuan, how can I miss Zhang Xiu?"

After saying these words, Zhang Xiu said solemnly to the messenger sent by Cao Cao: "Come here, take the messenger to have a full meal, and prepare some good horses for the messenger."

"I also ask the envoy to report back to the prime minister. Jia Xu and I, Zhang Xiu, will soon go to Ji County to serve under the prime minister's command."

"I, Zhang Xiu, will not hesitate to kill Wuhuan barbaric dogs."

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, the emissary thought to himself, Zhang Xiu is a good person!Although he is a foreign general, he is sincerely willing to serve the prime minister.

"Thank you, General Zhang, I won't eat the meal!"

"Please also ask General Zhang to prepare the horse for me, and I will return to report to the Prime Minister immediately." The messenger said with his hands clasped.

The messenger ran and killed three horses along the way, and the horse under his crotch has also run away.

If he wanted to go back, he had to ask Zhang Xiu to prepare a horse for him.

What the messenger cares about is that it is urgent. Since he doesn't want to eat, Zhang Xiu can't force it.

Zhang Xiu prepared the horse for the messenger. After the messenger left, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered the general Jia Xu to call over.

When military advisor Jia Xu came to the government office, Zhang Xiu was standing on a military map and studying it.

Zhang Xiu thought, I, Zhang Xiu, killed Prime Minister Cao's beloved son Cao Ang, loved my nephew Cao Anmin, and loved Ma Jueying.

Instead of killing me, Prime Minister Cao was very polite to me.

I have relied on Prime Minister Cao for so long, but I have not made an inch of merit.

This time Wuhuan came to commit crimes, it was time for me, Zhang Xiu, to make meritorious service.

I, Zhang Xiu, claim to be the spear king of the North, this time, I must let the people of Wuhuan see and see, my long spear is powerful.

The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could go to the frontier right now and let the blood of the Wuhuan people flow like rivers, resulting in endless casualties.
