At night.
Within Wan City.
Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu set up a banquet to entertain Cao Cao.
Therefore, after the wine and meat were served, the originally nervous guards relaxed.
Dian Wei stood behind Cao Cao expressionlessly like an iron tower, giving off an invisible pressure.
At this moment, he was still rather puzzled.
"It's so peaceful…Even if it's not a happy one, Zhang Xiu obviously has no intention of going back on his word. It seems that Mister Feng Yi is worrying too much.”
Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Xun You and Jia Xu were talking to each other, answering each other fluently as if they had met their match. They were eloquent and the more they talked, the more energetic they became. It was likely that they admired each other's knowledge.
Cao Cao was conversing with Zhang Xiu.
He also recalled some interesting things that happened between him and Zhang Ji.
"Your uncle and I can be considered old acquaintances. Although we didn't go to war together, we were both subjects of the Han Dynasty…Now that you're under my command and fighting for the Great Han Dynasty, I'm afraid it's fate for me to lead you to build your achievements.”
Cao Cao raised his bowl and sat on the main seat. Zhang Xiu, who was on the left, felt relieved when he heard this.
" My lord, since you have surrendered, I will tell you what I want…"
"Mm, tell me, I saw in the letter that you wanted me to make three promises, and I, Cao Cao, will agree to them.”
"Firstly, I was originally stationed in Wan City. Even if I surrender, I'm willing to station troops in Wan City and listen to my lord's orders.”
Cao Cao laughed loudly, his eyes shining. What kind of request was this? He had planned to do so. It was not wise to force Zhang Xiu back to Xuchang. His generals were all soldiers from the south, and it would be even more pitiful to deal with Liu Biao.
There was already enmity between them, so transferring them away would be a waste of talent.
"No problem."
" Secondly, if I get the title of Marquis in the future, I only want Wan City as my fief. I don't want anything else. My family is all here…"
"Good!"
Cao Cao nodded in agreement.
"Thirdly, after my lord's army enters the city, you cannot massacre the city, kidnap the people, or disturb the women in my city.”
"Yes, these three methods are not difficult, so I naturally agree to them. Not only that, in the future, I, Cao Cao, will treat you like a son, treat your wife like a daughter, and treat your elders like my elders. After returning to Xuchang, I will ask the emperor to confer you the title of Marquis Ting.”
Even though he mentioned the word 'massacring the city', Cao Cao was unhappy and fell silent for a moment.
However, Cao Cao was still happy. After all, there were tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of stones of grain. To Yanzhou, this was no different from sending charcoal in the snow.
Moreover, Cao Mengde knew that he had made a mistake and corrected it.
Massacring a city was wrong. Just like what Guo Yu said in his heart, it was a stain that could not be washed away.
However, the only way to remedy this was to stabilize the world and return it to the old capital. After that, he would implement benevolent policies and treat the people who came after him well.
Thus, Cao Cao waved his hand and agreed to Zhang Xiu's promise. With these words, Jia Xu and Xun You immediately stopped talking.
Such a reward could be said to be extremely favored.
"My lord, in this case, I, Zhang Xiu, will definitely do my best and take the lead!!”
Zhang Xiu stood up and immediately knelt down on one knee. Since Cao Cao had already said so much, he would definitely be rich and powerful in the future. His bravery would also be put to good use.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"My lord, great kindness!"
Jia Xu also stood up and bowed deeply.
"You are Jia Xu, right?"
Cao Cao stared at him with interest. Guo Yu had said before that this person's talent could be called Wang Zuo.
And it was from the bottom of his heart, definitely not a compliment.
It was just a little poisonous.
The so-called poison was meant for the enemy.
If he was a strategist, wouldn't he take off?
"I am Jia Xu. Greetings, Lord.”
"Yes, I've heard of you, Dacai.”
Cao Cao laughed happily." How about you come to my tent and become my advisor?”
Jia Xu was stunned. Then, he looked at Zhang Xiu, feeling somewhat troubled." This…Let's discuss it in the future…"
"I am the general's military advisor, so I have to listen to the general.”
Cao Cao laughed," I already treat Zhang Xiu like my own son. This matter can be discussed."”
"Yes…"
"My lord!" At this moment, Dian Wei suddenly spoke. His low voice was like a muffled voice that exploded in the hall." I heard that General Zhang Xiu has a fierce general called Hu Che 'er. Can you let me know him?"”
Cao Cao frowned.
Eh?
You don't usually talk much. What's wrong with you today?
"This general is…"
Zhang Xiu's expression suddenly turned cold. Beside him, a general wearing a cloth scarf and light armor stood up. His face was cold and solemn, his mustache was like a mustache, and his eyes were serious and spirited.
"I am Hu Che 'er."
Dian Wei chuckled." Let's spar!" I've long heard that you're brave, but I don't believe it.”
"Dian Wei!"
Cao Cao pretended to be angry.”
However, he quickly moved closer to Zhang Xiu." Tonight is a long night. I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy ourselves with wine and meat. Why don't we let them have a competition?”
Zhang Xiu looked at Hu Che 'er and saw that his face was also filled with anger.
"What do you think?"
Hu Che 'er stared at Dian Wei and said coldly,""If you come, then come, lest you lose the opportunity in the future.”
Dian Wei grinned." Heh, then I'll add some color to the generals and sirs 'wine.”
He was also frustrated. He had thought that he would be able to make a contribution in a big battle, but in the end, he had attacked the Vanguard Battalion and surrendered in a big battle. This Zhang Xiu had no backbone.
It was a good time to exercise.
