However, Cao Cao fell seriously ill and slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou!
This made Zhang Xiu, who had just surrendered, become furious and regarded it as a great shame and humiliation!
Jia Xu then came up with a plan to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness and lead his elite troops to sneak attack Cao Cao. He would definitely kill Cao Cao!
He also asked General Hu Che'er to get Cao Jun's number one general Dian Wei drunk and steal the latter's double iron halberds!
That night, Zhang Xiu led his army to attack Cao Ying!
Sure enough, Cao Cao was caught off guard!
As soon as Cao Cao put up his trousers, he heard shouts of death coming from all directions. Before he could ask, he was helped up on his horse by the left and right, and fled out of the city in embarrassment!
And Zhang Xiu's army has already entered Cao Cao's camp and is heading straight for Cao Cao's residence!
Dian Wei was awakened and was about to take the two iron halberds to fight the enemy, but unexpectedly, his weapons had been stolen!
In desperation, I could only rush out with my bare hands and fight the enemy!
He actually killed dozens of people with his bare hands!
The level of bravery is staggering!
"Dian Wei is as brave as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun!"
Someone exclaimed!
There are so many powerful generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Although Dian Wei is not on the list of peerless warriors, his fierceness has been witnessed by everyone in China!
This person, without any armor, was still drunk and his strength was greatly reduced, but he was still able to explode with such terrifying combat power!
Simply incredible!
This person actually blocked the door single-handedly and bought Cao Cao precious time to escape!
Dian Wei, who was shot dozens of times, fought to the death and refused to retreat even an inch!
In his hand, he held a snatched short-hand weapon and killed dozens more people!
In the end, he died of exhaustion!
Even if he died in battle, his body still stood tall. His hands were like iron pliers, gripping both sides of the door tightly and turning into a human wall to block the door!
It took Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses a lot of effort to push down Dian Wei's body, but Cao Cao had already escaped!
"If Dian Wei hadn't protected him with his life, Cao Cao would have been doomed!"
The heads of the major dynasties in China all sighed with emotion!
They are sighing with emotion for Dian Wei's bravery!
I am even more moved by Dian Wei’s loyalty!
With Dian Wei's strength as a peerless general, he could have escaped immediately, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to guard the door and buy Cao Cao time to escape!
It is admirable to be so loyal to protect the Lord!
What a pity that a peerless warrior has been lost!
And those who also died in this battle were Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin!
Cao Cao suffered heavy losses!
And Zhang Xiu had already surrendered to Cao Cao!
It was only because Cao Cao was greedy for beauty that he had such consequences!
"Thief Cao, you are so obsessed with your wife, you will suffer a big loss now!"
Ying Yu looked amused.
Cao Cao, the wife maniac, killed the three sages with one shot!
It was also after this battle that his reputation as a Cao thief was completely established.
"Jia Xu planned to defeat Cao Cao and also killed a peerless general. It's really impressive!"
After witnessing Cao Cao's tragic defeat and Dian Wei's death in battle, everyone in China became even more fearful of Jia Xu!
It can be said that Dian Wei died for Cao Cao!
Otherwise, the person who died in this battle was not Dian Wei, but Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao lost his eldest son and beloved general in this battle. I'm afraid he hates Jia Xu to death, right?"
Thinking from Cao Cao's perspective, Jia Xu, an old yinbi, killed two of Cao Cao's most important people in this battle. Can't Cao Cao swear to sleep with his skin and eat his flesh?
But what everyone in China didn't expect was that Jia Xu, after causing such heavy damage to Cao Cao, actually took the initiative to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao again after the war!
Everyone was stunned by Jia Xu's operation!
You have manipulated Cao Cao into this, and you can be said to have formed a bloody feud with Cao Cao. Now you surrender to Cao Cao, aren't you seeking death?
Even Zhang Xiu himself felt incredible after hearing this. If he surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not be able to skin him.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu wrote lightly: "Not only will Cao Cao not harm you, he will reuse you and give you a high official and a generous salary!"
Zhang Xiu expressed disbelief.
Cao Cao is not a good person. He has slaughtered countless cities, and he is especially cruel to his enemies!
When Tao Qian and Cao Cao had a grudge for killing their father, Cao Cao threatened to massacre Xuzhou, and ended up killing many people. If his hometown hadn't been stolen by Lu Bu later, Xuzhou would have been filled with blood!
Jia Xu had no choice but to explain the reason. Currently, Cao Cao faced Yuan Shao, a powerful enemy. Yuan Shao's military strength was ten times that of Cao Cao. Cao Cao was short of major generals.
If Zhang Xiu surrenders at this time, it will be a timely help. Cao Cao will be overjoyed and will not care about the past.
Killing Zhang Xiu will deter those who originally wanted to seek refuge with Cao Cao!
Cao Cao is a man with great ambitions and will not fail to see the benefits and disadvantages.
If you miss the opportunity in front of you, it will be impossible to resolve the grudge with Cao Cao in the future.
Zhang Xiu nodded. Although he still didn't believe that Cao Cao would forgive him just like that, out of his trust in Jia Xu, he still listened to Jia Xu's words and led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao!
As expected, Cao Cao happily accepted Zhang Xiu and named Zhang Xiu General Yangwu!
Never mention the past!
…
Da Qin.
"Is this the wisdom of a saint seeker?"
Ying Zheng had a look of approval on his face, "You can assess the situation and understand people's hearts. It can be said that you know it like the back of your hand!"
Jia Xu's analysis of the current situation and people's hearts is too accurate!
Although Cao Cao wanted to kill Zhang Xiu and eat his flesh alive!
However, Cao Cao's biggest enemy at the moment is Yuan Shao, who is more powerful than him!
Yuan Shao's military strength is far superior to Cao Cao!
Cao Cao wished he could multiply his troops and smooth out the huge gap between him and Yuan Shao!
At this time, Zhang Xiu led his troops to surrender, which was a real help in times of need!
No matter what considerations he had, it was impossible for Cao Cao to kill Zhang Xiu!
If Cao Cao did this, which prince would dare to join Cao Cao in the future?
What's more, the fault for what happened last time was not Zhang Xiu's, but Cao Cao's addiction to wives and sleeping with Zhang Xiu's aunt!
Jia Xu, give Cao Cao, this unparalleled traitor, a death sentence!
"This man is indeed very resourceful!"
Great Qin Prime Minister Li Si also had a look of admiration on his face.
Jia Xu not only made Zhang Xiu make the right choice, but he also made a smooth transition from Zhang Xiu's subordinate to Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's adviser!
After all, Zhang Xiu is just a small prince and cannot become a great weapon. With Jia Xu's strategy, it is impossible not to see this!
Sooner or later, he will have to find a stronger master to realize his talents and ambitions!
Cao Cao is undoubtedly the best choice!
Jia Xu's plan not only gave Zhang Xiu a high salary, but also allowed him to transition to Cao Cao's tent. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone!
Such a top counselor belongs to Cao Cao. For Cao Cao, it can be said that he has gained a brain trust!
No wonder, in the future, Cao Cao could divide the world into three parts and become the most powerful force in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
