"I don't know if Mr. Wenhe's statement is correct or not. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid Hu Cheer will be unable to save his life and Wancheng will be lost. I hope it won't be wrong."

Zhang Xiu came to the southeast corner with doubts, but found that there was no movement there. He suddenly felt a sank in his heart and thought that he had been fooled. Jia Xu had calculated the wrong thing this time, but then he saw Jia Xu on the side laughing and said, "General, don't be anxious, and be calm, you will soon know that Xu's judgment is correct."

Zhang Xiu was like an ant on a hot pan. He had to wait for a cup of tea. Seeing that there was no movement, he couldn't help but lead his troops back. But suddenly he heard the movement from the city. He was shocked. He looked down at the battlement and gasped. He saw countless people holding torches, erecting ladders under the city wall, and began to attack the city on a large scale. Judging from the scale, there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 people.

"Fortunately, after hearing Mr. Wenhe's words, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Zhang Xiu was secretly grateful in his heart, and then ordered the main army to prepare to face the enemy immediately.

In fact, even if Zhang Xiu didn't say this, his soldiers were secretly preparing to face the enemy.

Since it was night and there was no torch on the top of the city, Cao Cao didn't know that Zhang Xiu was ready at this time. He thought that his conspiracy had succeeded, and was very proud. He ordered the soldiers to attack the city on a large scale. In his opinion, there were not many people on the top of the city, and they could definitely break the city easily.

However, when the fastest wave of soldiers they climbed came five feet away from the city, they suddenly saw rows of enemy troops appearing from the city. These enemy soldiers threw down a large number of rolling wooden stones, smashing them to pieces and screaming and falling down.

At this time, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Cao Mengde, I have learned all your conspiracy. If you want to attack my Wancheng, it is simply a daydream!"

Then the soldiers appeared together and laughed loudly at the city. At the same time, tens of thousands of crossbows on the city were fired at the top of the city, and the dense rain of arrows came to the crowd under the city. They screamed endlessly and were seriously injured.

Cao Cao's face became gloomy when he saw this scene. He could tell from the number of feather arrows and the screams of the soldiers that he had suffered a lot this time, and there were definitely a lot of defenders on the city. At least most of the main forces had gathered.

"This, how is this possible? How can the enemy general see through my conspiracy?" Cao Cao was so shocked that he almost went crazy. This time he thought he would win, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would lose a lot of rice. It was really disappointing and depressing.

"Lord, don't worry. Many troops in Wancheng are sent to guard Ba County, and there are only a few thousand people here. When General Zixiao arrives from Xudu, our two armies will meet to break Wancheng together. The lord will definitely get what he wants. Don't forget, among them, there are Le Wenqian who is good at siegeing the city. As long as he is here, the soldiers of our entire army will increase by 20% of their combat power..."

After Cao Cao led his army back, the adviser Cheng Yu advised him.

Cao Cao was a little relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "Zhongde's words are very true. It seems that he will only wait until the arrival of Zixiao's army. Alas, I really regretted not not listening to Zhongde's advice, resulting in such a defeat. Could it be that Jia Xu really discovered my plan this time, and not someone in the army leaked the secret?"

"Of course not. If someone leaked the secret, our army would not be like this now. Alas, in fact, the official said that the lord would be unhappy. However, the fact is indeed the case. Just now, Yu heard that the lord was about to retreat. It was obvious that the other party was preparing hastily. If the lord insisted on attacking, we might have a chance to take Wancheng, but now there is no possibility. Lord, the general Su Zhi, Jia Xu, has always cherished his life and is very conscious of the current affairs. If the army of Zixiao comes, we will siege Wancheng with an army of 50,000, and even if it is a strong attack, we can capture Wancheng. Therefore, as long as we take the opportunity to persuade him to surrender, I believe that Jia Xu will persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender. In this way, the lord can not only obtain Nanyang, but also a top strategist, and a brave general like Zhang Xiu. Why not do it?"

"Haha, Zhongde's words are just right. How could I abandon such an excellent talent as Jia Xu? But I hope Jia Xu is really a smart person. Otherwise, even if I want to give him a way out, if he doesn't choose, I can only give up on him cruelly."

When Cao Cao said this, his eyes were filled with a hint of ruthlessness and coldness, which made Cheng Yu tremble in his heart. He knew deeply that this master was a decisive person and would never show any mercy when he should take a ruthless move.

In the following days, Cao Cao stopped moving and quietly waited for the arrival of reinforcements. Cao Ren also led his army to arrive as scheduled, which greatly boosted the morale of Cao's army, but Zhang Xiu in the city was a little panicked.

"Mr. Wenhe, you have also seen that Cao Cao has 40,000 to 50,000 people, but we can only fight now, but we only have 50,000 or 6,000 people. If the other party launches a strong attack regardless of everything, even if we try our best to resist, we may not be able to withstand a few days. Even if we really wait for the lord to arrive, I guess the soldiers under my command will be completely lost, and the people will not be able to save one. What can you do to help me?"

Seeing the army under the city, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but change his expression and asked Jia Xu.

But Jia Xu smiled and said, "Since the general is not sure, why not surrender to Cao Cao?"

"What did you say? The lord has recreated my kindness and kindness. I naturally want to be loyal to my lord. How could I have such an idea? Wenhe, this joke is not funny at all. I hope I won't joke like this again in the future." Zhang Xiu's face changed and he said in a deep voice to Zhang Xiu.

"Xu was not talking about a joke, but a solemn advice to the general." Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Xiu deeply and said with a deep meaning.

However, Zhang Xiu seemed to have not understood Jia Xu's deep meaning. He cursed: "Jia Xu, my lord trusts you so much and cultivates you vigorously, but he didn't expect you to be so unfaithful. Since that's the case, I will kill you for your lord first today so that you can avoid doing something unfavorable to your lord in the future."

While speaking, Zhang Xiu drew out his sword and was about to slash towards Jia Xu.

But when he saw Jia Xu not moving, he said with a smile: "General, please calm down. You misunderstand Xu. Please come over. I have a plan to defeat Cao Cao."

"Really?" Zhang Xiu stopped and said to Jia Xu hesitantly.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The general is very skilled in martial arts and is the best in the world. Are you still afraid that I, a weak scholar, will I be successful?"
