As the sun sets in the west, there is killing and killing.

There were corpses everywhere on the forest road that stretched for miles.

Six thousand Xiu troops either died or surrendered, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Cao Cao rode his horse down the mountain and stepped on the bones of Xiliang people, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.

Zhang Xiu, who was covered in blood, was escorted by Xia Houyuan and fell at Cao Cao's feet.

The rage of revenge for killing his son instantly ignited Cao Cao.

"Zhang Xiu!"

"You surrendered first and then rebelled. You were repeatedly dishonest and even killed my son Cao Ang!"

"Do you know your sin?"

Cao Cao looked stern and asked sternly.

Zhang Xiu shouted angrily:"You bribed my subordinates with the intention of reducing my military power. How could I not rebel against you? What's the crime?"

Cao Cao said solemnly:"Since you surrendered to me, you became my subject. As a subject, you still want to support your troops and respect yourself. It is only natural for me to reduce your military power!"

Zhang Xiu was speechless.

Cao Cao exposed his wishful thinking.

From the beginning, he surrendered to Cao Cao, and his plan was only to surrender in name, but he still occupied Wancheng and supported his troops.

Cao Cao was just a man who only needed to give He feeds and feeds his enemy

"Someone come! Cao

Cao disdained any more nonsense, raised his whip and shouted:"Drag this thief down and behead him on the spot to comfort Ang'er and the spirits of the dead soldiers in heaven!""

The tiger guards on the left and right stepped forward and dragged Zhang Xiu away.

"Wait!"

Zhang Xiu struggled fiercely and pushed the tiger guard away.

"Cao Mengde, I fell into your hands and knew that I would die."

"I just want to know, who reminded you that I was going to launch a mutiny so that you could be on guard?"

"Who is it that offered you a trick of cheating death to lure my light army into an ambush?"

"Tell me and let me die in peace!"

Zhang Xiu knew that death was inevitable, and just wanted to die with a clear conscience.

Cao Cao snorted contemptuously:"You are a capricious person, you have no right to know his name!"

Walk the whip again.

The tiger guards swarmed up, tied Zhang Xiu tightly, and dragged him away mercilessly.

"Jia Xu, it’s in vain that you are a poisonous person in this world, with extraordinary intelligence, but there is someone else who is superior to you in intelligence......"

Zhang Xiu's cries of grief and indignation echoed in the mountains and forests.

The revenge for killing his son was avenged. Cao Cao looked up to the sky and said:"Zixiu, your soul in heaven should rest in peace." Guo Jia called his horse forward and reminded:"Sikong, if it weren't for that Cao Yuan, how could we have killed him so quickly? Turn defeat into victory and avenge the eldest son!"

"Yes, this Cao Ziyou is not only a meritorious minister, but also my benefactor, Cao Cao. After sighing with emotion

, Cao Cao pointed his riding whip towards the south happily:

"Taking advantage of the victory, the entire army went south and recaptured Wancheng in one fell swoop!"

The victorious Cao army rolled southward.

Wancheng.

Jia Xu walked around the city, looking north from time to time, uneasiness appearing on his old face from time to time.

Zhang Xiu moved his entire army northward to attack Ye County, leaving only him and a few hundred troops to guard Wancheng.

It stands to reason that since Cao Cao is dead, Zhang Xiu should definitely win if he goes there.

But for some reason, Jia Xu has always been uneasy since Zhang Xiu left, feeling that something was wrong.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and from the north, more than a hundred people and horses were galloping towards them.

That group of men and horses were all in Xiliang military uniforms. They were in a panic and seemed to be defeated.

Jia Xu's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

"Mr. Wenhe, I am Hu Cheer, please open the city gate and let me in!"

The leader reined up his horse and shouted in panic.

Jia Xu recognized Hu Che'er, his face changed, and he hurriedly ordered to open the city gate and let them into the city.

"Hu Che'er, why are you back? Is there something unexpected?"

Jia Xu couldn't wait to ask Hu Che'er before he could take a breath.

"Mr. Wenhe, we have fallen into the treachery of that thief Cao!"

"It turned out that he wasn't dead at all. He was still setting up an ambush on the way and caught us off guard."

"Our six thousand soldiers and horses were completely wiped out, and only a few of us fled back. The major general was also beheaded by Cao's thieves!"

Hu Che'er fell to the ground and cried out.

Jia Xu's head buzzed, and he staggered back three steps.

All the doubts in his heart were solved in an instant.

Jia Xu understood clearly.

Cao Cao didn't do anything at all. Death, the mourning in Ye County is just a trick to lure the enemy.

The purpose is to induce Zhang Xiu to relax his vigilance and advance with a light army, so that he can ambush him halfway.

"What a deceitful and vicious plan!"

"This strategy could not have come from the hands of Guo Jia. Who could have proposed the strategy to Cao Cao?"

"Could it be……"

Jia Xu's eyes were startled, and he suddenly thought of something.

On that day, he proposed a plan for Zhang Xiu, quietly paralyzing Cao Cao, so that he could take advantage of the situation to launch a mutiny raid and capture Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

At the critical moment, someone saw through his plan and Cao Cao was on guard.

"Could it be that it was that person again who tried to cheat Cao Cao's death?"

"That person doesn't look like Guo Jia, who could he be?"

Jia Xu murmured to himself and fell into a daze.

Dust and fog rolled in, and the sound of killing came.

From the north, a large number of Cao Jun's pursuers had arrived.

"Mr. Wenhe, Cao Jun’s pursuers have arrived. What should we do? Hu

Che'er shouted in panic.

Jia Xu sighed and said sadly:"Cao Ang died because of my plan. Then Cao Cao will never let me go. Now that things have happened, I can only go north to join Yuan Shao. Are you willing to follow me?" If so, come with me."

After that, Jia Xu turned around and went down to the city.

Hu Che'er didn't have any idea. After hesitating, he had to follow Jia Xu and abandon the city.

Soon, the Cao family's battle flag was raised again in the sky above Wancheng.

Three days later.

As a grain escort, Cao Yuan escorted more than a hundred carts of grain and grass back to Wancheng.

"Brother Ziyou, Duke Cao really used your strategy to kill Zhang Xiu and regain Wancheng."

"Could it be that the king's chief clerk took advantage of your strategy and went to claim credit from Duke Cao?"

Xu Chu guessed.

Cao Yuan was also quite surprised.

When he was in Ye County that day, he just casually said a trick to cheat his death on a whim.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually used the same trick to turn defeat into victory and recapture Wancheng.

What happened? It is unclear whether Wang Bi borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha or whether Cao Cao just happened to use the same strategy.

"We, Cao Sikong, have many resourceful people under his command. Maybe Guo Jia or Cheng Yu just want to go with me."

Cao Yuan smiled disapprovingly and stopped thinking about it.

After entering the city and delivering the grain and grass, Cao Yuan returned to his private house.

After making so much money, he always has to invest.

Cao Yuan's investment method is to buy a house.

Nanyang is the largest county in the world, with a household registration of one million. Although it was destroyed by Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu successively and lost a lot of population, it still has 600,000 to 700,000 people.

Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County, and it is also a transportation hub between the north and the south, where business travelers gather..

When the world is peaceful in the future, Wancheng will regain its former prosperity sooner or later, and the prices of houses and houses in the city will skyrocket sooner or later.

So on the day Cao Jun regained Wancheng, Cao Yuan sent people to rush over and buy them in a prime location in the city. several houses

"Ziyou, you said that Wancheng is so dilapidated and depressed, why did you buy so many houses here? Isn't this because you have too much money?"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Chu started to mutter and complain.

"What do you know? This is called bargain hunting."

Cao Yuan rolled his eyes at him with disdain.

"Buying the dip?"

Xu Chu's eyes widened with a look of confusion on his face.

Cao Yuan didn't bother to explain, so he sat down and poured some wine.

The glass had just been brought to his mouth.

"Ziyou, I’m here to see you."

A familiar voice sounded.

"He's such a haunting person, you can run into him wherever you go...."

Cao Yuan gave a wry smile, and when he looked back, he saw the king's secretary, smiling and entering uninvited.

What was different from usual was that the guard following him was replaced by a cold and charming woman.
