Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 465

After Zhang Xiu participated in the Battle of Guandu, he was promoted to General Po Qiang because of his military exploits, and he was also granted the title of Marquis of Xuanwei.

But on the surface he seems to be very beautiful, but in fact he is still a little bit disappointed in his heart.Because of the last Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not take him with him.Moreover, many old brothers were transferred to other armies, resulting in fewer and fewer old people around him.

Just when Zhang Xiu thought he was about to be forgotten, Cao Cao suddenly summoned him and asked him to lead [-] troops from his headquarters plus [-] troops allocated to him by Cao Cao, and go to Chang'an City to assist Zhong Yao and relieve Guo Yuan and high-level officials. and the threat of the Huns.

Zhang Ji was stationed in Hongnong back then, and Zhang Xiu was very familiar with Hongnong.

For the good thing that came suddenly, Zhang Xiu was not without doubts at first.

But when Cao Cao learned that it was Jia Xu who recommended him in front of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiudang knelt down on one knee and swore to Cao Cao that he would drive the Yuan family and the Huns out of Hedong County!
And just a few days after Zhang Xiu sent troops, Guo Yuan's army had already reached outside Jiangcheng.

However, Guo Yuan's army, which had been relentless all the way before, encountered obstacles in Jiangcheng.

Guo Yuan's nearly [-] troops attacked Jiangcheng for many days, but were repelled by the defenders one after another, making it difficult to break through the city.

Since entering Hedong County, it was the first time for Guo Yuan to meet such a tenacious defender, so he asked everyone, "Do you know who the defender in the city is?"

Someone replied: "The general who guards the city is Jia Du. He has extraordinary integrity, good governance, and is deeply loved by the people."

Guo Yuan was not angry when he heard the words, but said to everyone with joy on his face: "I have heard about Jia Du for a long time! Now judging from his ability to defend the city, he can be called brave and resourceful. If he can be recruited, It will definitely enhance the strength of our army, and also stabilize the hearts of the people who occupy the east of the river."

Although some generals were not very optimistic about Guo Yuan's ability to subdue Jia Kui, they clasped their fists together and said, "The general is wise."

However, it was still difficult for Guo Yuan to break through Jiangcheng by himself, so Guo Yuan sent someone to inform the Xiongnu Shanyu, and planned to join the Huns in attacking Jiangcheng from two sides.

With the help of the Huns, Jiangcheng's defense was in jeopardy.

Jia Du felt that he was alone and weak, so he couldn't hold on any longer, so he finally had to say to everyone: "Guo Yuan colluded with the Huns to harm our Hedong County.
Now that the city is about to be broken, if we continue to stand firm, with the brutal nature of the Huns, the people will be slaughtered after the city is broken.I couldn't bear it, and wanted to surrender to Guo Yuan, so that at least I would have a chance to persuade him not to hurt the people. "

Someone stood up and said to Jia Kui, "But if this is the case, the people will be fine, and you will probably be executed!"

Jia Du smiled wryly and said, "It's very worthwhile to trade me for the safety of the people in the whole city."

Seeing Jia Kui's firm attitude, no one stood up to comfort him anymore. As Jia Kui said, it was indeed worthwhile to exchange his life for the safety of the people in the city.
In order to prevent the people from being harmed, Jia Kui opened the city and surrendered.

However, unlike the expected death penalty, Guo Yuan treated him like a guest and wanted to recruit Jia Kui for his own use.

But Jia Kui deeply hated Guo Yuan and the Huns for harming the people of Dongjun, and would rather die than be loyal to Guo Yuan.

Guo Yuan wanted to execute Jia Kui in a rage, but he got the pleas of many people. In the end, Jia Kui was spared from death and was imprisoned in a cellar in Huguan.

After capturing Jiang County, Guo Yuan's army was very powerful.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the Xiongnu Shanyu and high-ranking cadres all gathered here.

Guo Yuan has newly won Jiangcheng and captured Jia Kui. Now is the time when he is full of ambition.

He summoned all the people to come to discuss the matter, and said: "Since my army entered Hedong County, it has been invincible. Now Jiang County is under our control, which means that half of Hedong County is under our control. I mean, With the momentum of great victory, continue to go south, and force Hongnong County!"

Seeing Guo Yuan's majesty, Gao Gan felt a little confused, but he still congratulated him: "General Guo's bravery is really extraordinary.

Now our three-way army is making rapid progress, but Ma Teng and Han Sui have been slow to arrive.

If I wait to go south rashly, will I be tricked by Cao Jun? "

At this time, Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Xiongnu replied indifferently: "The Xiliang army is farther away than us, and it should be here soon."

But in fact, Ma Teng and Han Sui's army has been wandering at the junction of Hongnong and Hedong County.

They really wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune in Hedong County, but they were afraid that the Han court and Cao Cao would retaliate against them.Moreover, they still have a proton in Chang'an Zhongyou's hands, and if they rashly turn against Cao Cao, they may end up losing both their personal wealth and wealth.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yuan replied: "It's okay, I'll continue going south to conquer the remaining land in the east of the river, and when we reach Hongnong County, the Xiliang army will almost arrive."

Seeing that Hu Chuquan and Gao Gan had no objections, Guo Yuan ordered: "In this case, Shanyu's cavalry will be the vanguard, and the infantry of Bingzhou Governor and I will follow behind, and Shanyu will lead the formation!"

"No problem!" Hu Chuquan strode away after taking the order.

"Here!" Gao Gan smiled and agreed, and then left the central army tent.

Jian'an five years, December.

The army of Guo Yuan, Gao Gan, and Hu Chuquan went all the way south until Dayang, Shanjin.

Now Cao Jun and Yuan Jun's coalition forces are facing each other across the Yellow River, and the army led by Zhang Xiu just arrived at this moment.

When Cao Jun's camp, Zhong Yao and others were discussing how to deal with Yuan Jun's coalition forces, a scout suddenly came to report: "Report! Our army has reinforcements, and it is less than ten miles away from the camp."

Everyone in the tent was taken aback for a moment, and then rejoiced.

Zhong Yao asked: "Can I ask who led the troops to help?"

"Returning to the school captain, it is Zhang Xiu, the general of the Po Qiang, who led an army of 3 people to support him!"

"It's Zhang Xiu!"

"Zhang Ji's nephew!"

"Northern Spear King!"

"Great, with General Zhang Xiu coming, Yuan Jun and the Huns are no longer a concern!"

There are many locals and Kansai people under Zhong Yao's staff, and they have a more direct understanding of the prestige of Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew.

The morale of the generals in the general tent has improved because of Zhang Xiu's help. Zhong Yao knew that this must be Boss Cao's good intentions, so he smiled and said: "In that case, I can go out to meet General Zhang later!"

"As it should be!"

"The captain said yes!"

When Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were still twenty miles away from Zhong Yao's camp, they slowed down.

With enough preparation time for Zhong Yao, there will be no misunderstanding between the two parties.

Five miles away from Zhong Yao's camp, Zhang Xiu saw a group of people waiting for him in front of him.

Now that Zhang Xiu finally got the chance to lead the army alone, he was naturally cautious in every possible way and did not dare to make the slightest mistake in dealing with it, so as not to waste his opportunity to perform.

Although Zhong Yao is a captain, he is a captain of Sili.

There is a huge difference between ordinary school captains and Sili school captains, and Sili school captains are more than two thousand stones.The lieutenants of the Sili school also have staff, false assistants, etc., and they have always been secret inspectors responsible for supervising the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital, and their powers are not insignificant.

"Report! General, Lieutenant Sili has personally come out of the camp to greet you!" A scout came to report to Zhang Xiu.

Of course Zhang Xiu knew Zhong Yao's weight in Cao Cao's heart, and he came to support him on this trip, and he would be restrained by Zhong Yao.

Zhang Xiu was surprised but also very moved by the fact that Shangguan personally went out to greet her.

Zhang Xiu led two former lieutenants, and after leaving the army, he hurried to Zhong Yao and others.

When there were dozens of steps away from Zhong Yao and the others, the horse's speed suddenly slowed down.

Zhang Xiu and his lieutenant jumped off their horses, came to Zhong Yao, clasped their fists in salute, and said, "General Zhang Xiu, Po Qiang General, see Captain Sili!"
