Hearing this, the man knew that Zhang Xiu had made a decision, and immediately replied: "If the general wants something, just ask the person who comes and insist on not letting go, then Cao Cao will definitely agree." ”

Zhang Xiu asked with a look of disbelief: "That will want to continue to garrison Wancheng, will Cao Cao also agree." ”

The man affirmed: "Of course, if you don't believe the general, you will know when you try it, and if you don't talk properly, you will personally give advice to the general to retreat from the enemy." ”

After receiving the assurance of the person in front of him, Zhang Xiu left in disbelief, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he learned that Cao Cao's envoy had arrived at the mansion.

Seeing that it was really as the man said, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be a little convinced, quickened his pace, and went to meet Cao Cao's envoy.

When he came to the reception room, he saw a Confucian with genuine tea in his hand, Zhang Xiu put away his expression and strode in.

"I heard that Cao Gong led an army of nearly 100,000 to ask for no reason, how could he send you to sacrifice the flag at this time, did you offend him?"

Hearing this, the man stood up unhurriedly and arched his hand, and said slowly: "In Xia Xun Youzi Gongda, I am specially on the mission of Cao Gong to show General Zhang a clear way. ”

"Xun Yu?" Cao Cao was very confident, and he sent his left and right hands to him, and it seemed that he had settled on himself, but fortunately, he asked him.

Zhang Xiu sneered: "Then what's the clear way, don't you just want the general to surrender, yes, but you have to agree to the general's request, otherwise even if Cao Cao comes in person, he will return in vain." ”

Before coming, Xun You had thought about countless possibilities, and he had also thought about the one in front of him, so he was not curious.

Xun You smiled and said: "Naturally, as long as General Zhang's request is not excessive, Duke Cao will agree." ”

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Okay, it's okay for Ben to surrender, but Ben will continue to garrison this Wancheng." ”

Continuing to garrison Wancheng, what is the difference between that and not surrendering.

Xun You shook his head and said: "It seems that General Zhang has no intention of surrendering at all, so let's make a decision when Cao Gong's army arrives." ”

Zhang Xiu panicked in his heart, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he said coldly: "Since this is the case, the general will cut off his left and right hands first." ”

"Come on, put this person in prison, wait for Cao Bing to arrive, and kill the sacrificial flag."

Hearing the pager, the soldiers guarding outside hurriedly entered, and wanted to step forward and tie up Xun You.

Seeing Zhang Xiu so decisive, Xun You couldn't help but be shocked, he had done an investigation before coming, Zhang Xiu was a real general, and when the army was advancing, he would not be so calm at all.

Unless someone gave him advice, but the spies who were secretly inserted in Wancheng did not report back that there were strategists serving under Zhang Xiu.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to think about it, Xun You hurriedly shouted: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them, Zhang Xiu, do you want to make the world laugh?" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't want to have a bad relationship with Cao Cao in her heart, but she just wanted to suppress Xun You's arrogance, so that she could take the initiative for the next negotiations.

"Slow!" Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhang Xiu stopped the soldiers who rushed into the house and said slowly: "When the army of Duke Cao is coming, the general knows that he is not an opponent, but if he does not agree to the general's request, it will be a big deal." ”

When Xun You heard this, he glanced at the soldier and replied: "But since ancient times, how can anyone surrender and still be stationed in the same place, this move is a plan to delay the army." ”

"When Cao Gong's army retreats, I'm afraid that General Zhang will not listen to the order again, does Cao Gong want to raise swords and soldiers again?"

Zhang Xiu waved off the soldiers, returned to his position and sat down, thought for a while and said: "But Ben Jiang can only feel at ease if he is stationed in Wancheng, otherwise Cao Gong will unload and kill the donkey, and Ben will not have no resistance." ”

Both sides have their own concerns that have stalled the negotiations.

After thinking for a while, Xun You took the lead and said: "If the general wants to continue to serve as the defender of Wancheng, do you want to show sincerity?" ”

expressed sincerity, but there were only a few, Wancheng government affairs were handed over to the officials sent by Cao Cao, and the army gave up the post of deputy general, indicating that there was no rebellion.

Although Zhang Xiu is a martial artist, he still understands these common senses. "Okay, since Mr. has made concessions, Ben Jiang can also make concessions, this Wancheng government affairs are managed by Cao Gong, and Ben will only be in charge of the military."

The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and if they were in charge of Wancheng's government affairs, they also indicated that all actions should be reported in advance, which can be regarded as sincerity.

But Xun You, as a messenger, naturally wants to strive for the greatest interests for Cao Cao. "This is still unstable, and the army should be assigned by Cao Gong to assist the general in management."

The command of the army is being ceded, so it won't be long before the power in my hands will be slowly eroded.

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "The sincerity of this general has been expressed, if Mr. can't be the master, go back and tell Cao Gong." ”

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, without waiting for Xun You to answer, he asked the soldiers to send him out of the city.

Out of the city, Xun You knew that this embroidery had already made up his mind, either to agree or to fight.

In order to spread the news to Cao Cao as soon as possible, Xun You didn't dare to stop for half a moment, and rode his horse wildly.

Two days later, Xun Yu was in the dust, and finally met Cao Cao, who led the army.

Looking at Xun You, who was haggard, Cao Cao did not ask about the envoy at the first time, but asked the army to stop and let people prepare hot water and hot rice for Xun You to recover.

Xun You was in a hurry, but due to Cao Cao's compulsion, he obediently obeyed the arrangement.

An hour later, Xun You was full and regained some of his spirits, so he hurried to Cao Cao's place, and after a reasonable and orderly analysis, he told Cao Cao the whole thing.

After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and said, "There shouldn't be any great talent in this Wancheng, is it a hidden layman." ”

Xun You nodded and said: "Since the hidden layman should not give advice to Zhang Xiu, you think that it may be the former strategist of the Xiliang Army." ”

"Why did Zhang Xiu occupy Chang'an in Guo and Li, so he hurriedly led his troops out, away from the place where things were wrong, there must be someone behind him."

Xun You's analysis does make sense, a general, the most important thing is not to be reused, and in the court, isn't it the best opportunity?

Cao Cao nodded and said: "It is reasonable, but the Xiliang Army is famous and powerful, but there are only a few people, and only Jia Xu is alive, but he was not kidnapped by Li Huiyi to the north, and it is impossible to give Zhang Xiu advice." ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "Can the lord have seen those dead corpses?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "No, Gongda means, they may have someone fake their death?" ”

Xun You nodded and said: "Yes, Dong Zhuo was destroyed, the power was vacuum, the Beijing division was in chaos, and it was not surprising that there was a fish-eyed incident." ”。

Dong Zhuo's subordinates can be famous, but as far as Li Ru, Li Su, Jia Xu and others, the rest are all generals, and it is impossible to give advice.

And Jia Xu has been ruled out, and the remaining Li Ru and Li Su can make Zhang Xiu completely believe in it, and there is only one person, and he will be Li Ru.
