Zhang Xiu's subordinates only numbered ten thousand.
However, Zhao Yang could never tell Cao Ang about these thoughts.
Whether Cao Ang believed it or not was another matter. After all, he was the eldest son of Cao Cao. If he suspected him because of this, the gains would not make up for the losses.
The most suitable person to do this was Xu Huang.
This was also the reason why Zhao Yang insisted on bringing Xu Huang along.
Only by cultivating Xu Huang's trust in him could he carry out the next step of his deployment.
Looking at Zhang Xiu's busy soldiers outside the tent, Zhao Yang couldn't help but smile.
"The show is about to begin!"
……
At the same time, in Wan City's City Lord's Mansion.
"Wen He, aren't you being too cautious?”
"From what I saw today, Zhao Yang is just an ordinary person.”
"It's just that your observation skills are not bad. I was actually able to see through your identity at a glance.”
"Other than that, there's nothing else.”
Zhang Xiu was half drunk as he shook his head and said to Jia Xu.
At the table, Zhao Yang didn't do anything other than looking a little picky.
As the vanguard, wasn't he here to see the situation in Wan City?
However, Zhao Yang just sat there obediently. He didn't ask or probe.
It was as if he was here as a guest.
Jia Xu was slightly stunned. After pondering for a moment, he said,
"If that's the case, then that's great…"
Honestly speaking, Jia Xu was also somewhat disappointed.
He had thought that Zhao Yang was a talent since Cao Cao appreciated him so much.
Zhao Yang also recognized him at a glance, which made Jia Xu even more vigilant.
However, Zhao Yang did not do anything after that.
He looked as if he was determined to get it.
He didn't seem to be scheming at all.
He didn't even bother to observe. After eating, he went straight back to the camp to sleep!
Jia Xu had seen many talented strategists, but none of them were like Zhao Yang.
Moreover, he drank a little too much and was staggering when he walked.
"Forget it, let's wait for Sikong Cao to come.”
"This might not be a bad thing for our army.”
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister look flashing across his face.
"Report!"
At this moment, a scout's voice came from outside the door."
"General, there's a secret report from the front line!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately stood up and took a look.
After reading the content, Zhang Xiu immediately laughed out loud.
"Good, good, good!"
"This Cao Cao is really arrogant!"
"For this expedition, we didn't even bring Guo Jia, Xun Yu, or Cheng Yu. Even Xiahou Dun and the others weren't here.”
"It seems that you trust us! It's really a heaven-sent opportunity!"
Hearing these words, Jia Xu was not moved, but instead opened his mouth and said sinisterly,"
"General, have you really thought about fighting Cao Cao?”
Zhang Xiu immediately narrowed his eyes, which were filled with fanaticism.
"Why haven't you thought about it?"
"This is simply a heaven-sent opportunity!”
"As long as we kill Cao Cao, the Cao army will be without a leader.”
"At that time, our chance will come!”
"Mister, tell me, what should I do to make Cao Cao lower his guard?”
However, Jia Xu did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked,"
"Didn't General agree to surrender earlier?”
"Forgive me for being blunt, but the risk of doing so is not low.”
"If we fail, it's very likely that we'll be doomed.”
Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"At first, I did intend to surrender."
"But this Cao Cao has gone too far! You actually don't put me in your eyes at all!”
"Sending a few brats as the vanguard, isn't this humiliating me?”
"Cao Ang or Zhao Yang.”
"The one leading the army is actually a nameless general!”
"How can I swallow such humiliation?”
Speaking up to this point, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said,
"Didn't you say that you have a way to deal with Cao Cao?”
"Sir, please speak. I'm ready!”
Hearing this, Jia Xu sighed lightly and said,"
"I do have a method."
"However, if you want to implement it, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Zhang Xiu waved his hand.
"Sir, please speak!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiu had already made his decision.
No matter what, he had to teach Cao Cao a lesson!
He hated people who looked down on him the most.
Even Cao Cao was no exception!
Only then did Jia Xu slowly open his mouth and say,
"Cao Cao is meticulous and extremely suspicious.”
"No matter how arrogant he is, he will definitely be careful when accepting this surrender.”
"If our army were to launch a sneak attack, he would definitely be prepared.”
"However, he has a fatal flaw.”
"By grasping this weakness, our army will have a reason to launch a sneak attack, and he won't be able to predict it.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up."
"Sir, please speak!"
Jia Xu continued,"
"Cao Cao is a lecherous person. This is his greatest weakness!”
Zhang Xiu immediately laughed and said,
"I was wondering what it was!"
"Then offer some beautiful women over and let him immerse himself in gentleness!”
"What's so difficult about that?"
But Jia Xu shook his head and said,
"If General offers it, Cao Cao will definitely be on guard.”
"If you want Cao Cao to be caught off guard, you have to let him discover the beauty himself.”
"Moreover, ordinary beauties are not worthy of Cao Cao's attention.”
"There is only one beauty in Wan City who fits this description.”
Zhang Xiu's eyes instantly narrowed, and he instantly became extremely alert.
"I wonder if Mister still remembers that General Zhang Ji had a concubine, Madam Zou?”
As he said that, Jia Xu's face revealed some malice.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes widened."
" What?!"
"Sir, isn't this nonsense?"
"This…Even if Madam Zou is a concubine, she is still my aunt!”
"How could I do such a treasonous act as to give uncle's widow to Cao Cao?!”
Zhang Xiu never would have thought that the beauty that Jia Xu spoke of that met the requirements was actually his aunt!
Only Jia Xu dared to say such words!
If it was anyone else, Zhang Xiu would have directly twisted his head off without hesitation!
But Jia Xu said unhurriedly,
"Everyone knows that Cao Cao has a strange habit of liking other people's wives.”
"Madam Zou is beautiful and fits this condition the best.”
At this point, Jia Xu paused and continued,
"The choice is in the general's hands."
"If General wants to achieve great things, you must make sacrifices.”
Finished talking, Jia Xu shut his mouth.
To him, whether Zhang Xiu attacked Cao or not, it did not matter much.
Jia Xu already had a plan to escape unscathed.
The plan was out, and the choice was naturally in Zhang Xiu's hands.
Zhang Xiu frowned and looked troubled.
After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,"
"Sir, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Jia Xu was not surprised at all and continued,
"It's very simple. We just need to host a banquet to welcome Cao Cao.”
"When Cao Cao is full, we will lure Zou Shi into Cao Cao's field of vision.”
"As for the follow-up, I'll make the arrangements.”
Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
