In fact, since he followed his uncle Zhang Ji, when he first met Zou, that woman's voice and smile had been in his heart for a long time.

But due to reasons, the other party is Zhang Ji's first wife after all, and is his Zhang Xiu's aunt in name.

That throb has been buried deep in Zhang Xiu's heart ever since.

Later, when his uncle Zhang Ji died, Zhang Xiu also had thoughts in his mind.

The reason why he treats her like a mother is because his feelings for this woman have been different from the beginning.

It's just a matter of etiquette.

There are some things that he can only keep buried in his heart.

Of course I had thought about it, but Zhang Xiu didn't dare to do it.

However, what he didn't expect was that even though the Zou family was so protected by him, in the end, he would succumb to Cao Cao because of the Wancheng incident.

Because of this, the first moment he learned about this incident, the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed.

Just thinking that the lives of so many soldiers under his command depended on him, Zhang Xiu could only suppress this impulse.

And now I have received guidance from my husband.

The depression in Zhang Xiu's heart finally found a place to express itself.

This change of situation is not a different kind of opportunity.

If it goes as expected, from today on, Zhang Xiu may be able to lay a foundation in this troubled world.

The wind was very cold tonight, but it made Zhang Xiu's mind a little hot.

After pausing for a moment, Zhang Xiu ran straight to the house where his confidant Hu Che'er was staying without any delay.

at the same time.

Not long after Zhang Xiu left, Tan Ma from the transport camp quietly left the city under the cover of night.

It's night!

In the baggage camp, Xi Yu got the news not long after.

Zhang Xiu moved!

There are some things that Zhang Xiu now finally knows.

Inside the tent of the transport camp, the lights flickered.

At this moment, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were both close to Xi Yu, and they also learned about Zhang Xiu's unusual movements.

At this moment, Zhao Yun glanced at Xi Yu.

"Sir, Zhang Xiu has already learned about this matter. Now, just as Mr. expected, Zhang Xiu can't sit still. What should we do now?"

Zhao Yun's mood was a little complicated.

Is what Zhang Xiu did wrong?

In Zhao Yun's view, this is human nature, and it was Cao Cao who went too far. If it were Zhao Yun, he might have the same idea as Zhang Xiu!

What's more, he and Master Zhang Xiu came from the same sect, so Zhao Yun still had some good feelings and friendship for Zhang Xiu.

Now that the other party has to face someone like Mr. Zhao Yun is still somewhat worried about Zhang Xiu.

Huang Zhong didn't have too many ideas. Now everything was as expected by his husband. For the rest, he only had to follow his arrangements.

"No rush!"

Xi Yu's expression didn't change much. Now Zhang Xiu knew the matter, but since the other party was not in a hurry to explode immediately, everything was still under control.

The result of Wancheng, in the final analysis, is that a single move affects the whole body.

This result was caused by Lao Cao himself.

Moreover, in Xi Yu's view, taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao must be made aware of the losses in this battle.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry to do anything.

Naturally, he could take advantage of the fact that everything had not happened yet and directly suppress the matter before it happened.

However, Xi Yu didn't want to do this.

Old Cao was too promiscuous. From taking Xuzhou to catering to the emperor, Cao Cao had everything going smoothly.

The situation at hand is still under his control, but who can say with certainty what will happen in the future!

Just as he doesn't know whether he will still stand with Cao Cao in the future?

Will Cao Cao still firmly believe in Xi Yu in the future?

No one knows everything.

"Sir, what are you waiting for now? Now that we know that Zhang Xiu will do something strange, why don't we kill this matter directly!"

Huang Zhong asked.

These words came out of my mouth instinctively.

Xi Yu glanced at the other party: "Old Huang, some things can't be rushed, and you can't just take them at face value!"

"You have to look at the long term!" Xi Yu didn't explain much.

After telling the two of them to continue to be prepared, the rest was just waiting for the Wancheng incident to happen.

This time, it is not only a lesson to Cao Cao, but also a lesson to that guy Dian Wei.

It sounded a wake-up call to the entire Cao camp.

…

The night is very deep, and some people are bound to have trouble sleeping tonight.

When Cao Cao was in the high tent, forgetting his love and singing, Zhang Xiu had already gathered his confidants together with a dark face.

After telling all the confidants exactly what happened, Hu Cheer and others were filled with indignation.

They were Zhang Xiu's subordinates. Cao Cao did this to insult Zhang Xiu, and naturally he also insulted them.

After surrendering to the other side, if Cao Cao could even treat Zhang Xiu like this, let alone treat them later.

Zou's matter is not a big deal.

But the interests involved in this matter are not that simple.

In today's era, most of the relationships between the lord and his subordinates are prosperous and destructive.

Hu Cheer and others are not counselors, they are generals. This situation is naturally more obvious.

If they were counselors, changing the clan would not have a great impact on them, but if they were generals, the result would be different.

The paths for promotion for the two are different.

There are many choices for counselors to make meritorious deeds. They only need to make political achievements. It doesn't matter who they work for.

But a general can only go into battle and kill the enemy to achieve meritorious service.

Although Hu Che'er was attracted by Cao Cao, he also knew that he was not the only one in the world, and he was not like Lu Bu.

You have no right to be treated differently!

There are countless generals under Cao Cao's command, and because of Zhang Xiu, even if he surrenders to the enemy, he will be feared by others in the future.

Then the chances of this life will be affected as a result.

Without much thought, Hu Cheer and others had already chosen to stand with Zhang Xiu, not to mention that there was Jia Xu's plan this time.

Even a resourceful person like Jia Xu has already made his choice, so they have nothing to hesitate about.

"General, what should we do now?"

Hu Che'er asked aloud, but someone beside him couldn't help but speak directly.

"If you want me to see, under the cover of night, we might as well kill directly to where the thief Cao is, cut off his head and hang it on a tall building..."

After all, they are all a group of warriors, and there are not many effective suggestions.

Zhang Xiu has discussed it with Jia Xu before, and the current situation cannot be rushed, and it may not even attract Cao Cao's attention.

After all, there are still 150,000 troops stationed outside Wancheng.

"Don't be impatient about this, just treat everything as normal!"

As he said that, Zhang Xiu cast his gaze on Hu Che'er: "Old Hu, I see that there are two guards around Cao Cao, and there are also three thousand guards in the city this time!"

"If we want to kill the Cao thieves in one fell swoop, these people must be dealt with!"

Zhang Xiu naturally wanted to kill Cao Cao directly, so that he would be foolproof.

He didn't want to let Cao Cao escape.

Hearing this, Hu Che'er glanced at Zhang Xiu.

"General, this time I fought against Na Dianwei, and I was slightly inferior. If he didn't have those two magic weapons in his hands, I would have fought him in vain!"

"As for the other person, I think he might be able to serve as Cao's thief's bodyguard."
