Cao Cao's main camp, the central tent.
Cao Cao sipped his wine, but his gaze fell on his eldest son, Cao Ang.
"Father, in the past month, we have won over half of Zhang Xiu's generals. They are all grateful and respectful to you.”
Cao Ang reported.
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with satisfaction as he nodded." You've done well on this matter, Ang 'er. Continue. Don't waste your money."”
"I understand."
Cao Ang cupped his hands.
He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Cao Cao saw that he had something to say and waved his hand,""You and I, father and son, what concerns do you have?”
Cao Ang hesitated for a moment before saying,"Forgive me for being blunt, but does father really have to accept Aunt Zhang Xiu?"”
"You are still too young. Do you really think that I am just lecherous?”
Cao Cao sneered.
Cao Ang was shocked, his eyes blank.
At this moment.
Xi Zhicai smiled," Eldest Young Master, you might not know this, but Madam Zou's words carry a lot of weight in the Zhang Family Army. When Zhang Ji died, Zhang Xiu was able to take over the Zhang Family Army because of Madam Zou's support. That's why Sikong wanted to take her in.”
After the explanation, Cao Ang came to a realization.
He couldn't help but look ashamed. He cupped his hands and said,"So father wanted to win the hearts of the Zhang family army by taking in concubines. I was stupid and didn't understand father's meaning.”
"You don't have to blame yourself."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said lightly,"You are still young. You can't rush the way of power. Take your time to learn."”
Cao Ang heaved a sigh of relief.
The fragrance of wine filled the air, and the atmosphere in the tent was harmonious.
At this moment.
Dian Wei entered the tent and cupped his hands."Sikong," he said,"Zhang Xiu has sent another hundred jars of wine to comfort the army."”
"Give them to the soldiers in the camp."
Cao Cao said disapprovingly.
However, Xi Zhicai frowned and a trace of haze flashed across his eyes.
Suddenly.
His expression changed and he shivered.
"Zhicai, do you have something on your mind?" Cao Cao saw through it.
"Sikong, I remember that when I went to the Su family to buy medicinal herbs that day, Young Master Su said that Zhang Xiu might surrender and rebel!" Xi Zhicai hurriedly said.”
"Hmm?"
"Did he really say that?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.”
Xi Zhicai nodded heavily.
"Sikong secretly won over Zhang Xiu's subordinates, so Zhang Xiu should be dissatisfied. Instead, he repeatedly sent wine into the camp to show his respect, which is quite unreasonable.”
"A few days ago, Zhang Xiu requested to move his camp to the north. The terrain in the north is higher, and it is just right for our camp!”
"All these signs remind me of Young Master Su's words. Could it be that Zhang Xiu really has evil intentions?”
Xi Zhicai's words expressed the worries in his heart.
Cao Cao's wine cup shook.
"Father, who is that Young Master Su?”
"Since Zhang Xiu has already surrendered, it's unlikely that he will rebel again.”
Cao Ang's eyes were filled with doubt and disbelief.
"Bang!"
Cao Cao placed his wine cup heavily on the table and said in a deep voice,""He has predicted things like a god several times. We have to believe him. Quickly pass down the order for all the battalions to be on guard!”
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and accepted the order.
The order was passed down.
The drunk Cao soldiers of the various camps were chased out of their tents and rushed to the camp walls to set up defenses.
North of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's camp.
Zhang Xiu was secretly discussing with Jia Xu.
"Crash!"
Hu Che 'er lifted the curtain and entered the tent, panting,""Reporting to Young General, our spies have reported that Cao Cao's camp has suddenly increased their security!”
"What?"
Zhang Xiu's expression changed. He frowned and said," Could it be that Cao Aman has sensed something? That shouldn't be. Our plan was so subtle. How could it be seen through?!"”
"I heard that Cao Cao's subordinate is very intelligent. Could it be that he saw through the flaw?”
Hu Che 'er guessed.
Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu stroked his white beard and said," Xi Zhicai is indeed resourceful, but with his intelligence, he might not be able to see through this old man's scheme. It should be someone else."”
"Someone else?"
Zhang Xiu's eyes were filled with surprise." Sir's plan is flawless," he said doubtfully." Who else can see through it except for that talented actor?"”
"I can't think of who it is either, but this person's intelligence is definitely above mine.”
Jia Xu sighed slightly, a hint of admiration faintly appearing in his eyes.
"Mr. Wen He, since Cao Cao is aware of it, what should we do?" Zhang Xiu asked anxiously.”
Jia Xu laughed coldly." Cao Cao's soldiers have long been half-drunk by us. Even if Cao Cao had noticed, it would have been too late. We'll make our move ahead of time and attack Cao Cao's camp at night!"”
"Good!"
Zhang Xiu's killing intent burned wildly. With his great spear in hand, he shouted,"Pass down my order. Gather the entire army and follow me to break through Cao's camp and capture Cao Aman alive!”
The order was passed down.
The gates of the Zhang Family Army camp opened.
The army rolled out, borrowing the momentum from above to charge towards Cao Ying.
Cao Cao's camp, the central army tent.
Cao Cao stood outside the tent with his hands behind his back.
In the northern direction, the flames were blazing, and the sounds of killing shook the sky.
"Report-"
"Zhang Xiujun's night attack!"
"Most of our soldiers are drunk and can't stop the rebel army!”
"The northwest camp wall has been broken through by the rebel army!”
The scout rushed over and reported the unfavorable news.
Cao Cao clenched his fists and his brows furrowed.
After a long time.
He loosened his fist and blamed himself,"It seems that I was too hasty and forced Zhang Xiu to do the opposite."”
Xi Zhicai said with shame," Sikong, that Young Master Su clearly reminded me. I should have reported this to Sikong earlier. I have failed in my duty."”
"It's none of your business."
Cao Cao waved his hand and sighed,"Only Su Yi would have predicted that Zhang Xiu would surrender and rebel. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it either."”
The sound of horse hooves could be heard as Cao Ang rode his horse over.
"Father, the camp wall has been broken through. The camp can't be defended anymore. What should we do?”
He stepped forward and cupped his hands, his tone slightly flustered.
Cao Cao smiled disdainfully." Victory and defeat are common in the military. It's not a big deal. Pass down my order. All troops abandon camp and retreat to Ye County!"”
"Yes!"
Cao Ang accepted the order and immediately passed down the order.
Tens of thousands of Cao Cao soldiers immediately abandoned their camp and retreated towards the north.
…
Three days later.
In a house in the southern suburbs of Ye County.
Su Yi was lying on a rocking chair, sipping some wine and basking in the sun.
Diao Chan served him by the side, sometimes serving wine and sometimes massaging his back.
A commotion sounded outside the courtyard.
Not long after.
Zhou Tai hurried over and cupped his hands." Li Heng, there are two wounded Cao generals outside. They claim to have retreated from the Wancheng defeat. One of them is seriously injured and wants to enter the manor for treatment. Should we let them in?"”
Before Su Yi could speak, Diao Chan's beautiful expression changed and she jumped up.
She looked at Su Yi excitedly,"Young master, you're right again. The Cao army has really lost!"”
