    Wancheng is located in the north of Jingzhou, on the south bank of the Jingshui River. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the water on one side. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the scale of the city is not large, it is at the north-south fortress. Occupying this place is equivalent to opening up Jingxiang.  The gate of Jiujun is a battleground for military strategists!

    " Chariots are rolling, horses are rushing, a hundred thousand soldiers are wearing war robes, the army is going south to hunt down the thieves

    In order to seize this strategic location, Prime Minister Cao Cao personally led the army, took several sons and many clan members, and marched all the way to Wancheng. As a result, just after the troops crossed the Feishui River, an envoy appeared in the camp.  In front of the door~~Zhang Xiu surrendered!

    This is not surprising. Zhang Xiu launched this rebellion in order to make enough food for his tens of thousands of subordinates. As for seizing the city and dominating the world, he simply did not consider it, and he did not have the strength.  and ambition!

    Furthermore, he is also well aware of Prime Minister Cao's illustrious reputation. Li Jue, Guo Si, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu all the powerful princes have become defeated by others. How can he compete with his own weak points?  Well, since we can't defeat him, surrender becomes the only way out!

    Someone asked, since we were ready to surrender a long time ago, why didn't we send an envoy to Xuchang earlier to communicate? We had to launch a rebellion first and wait for Cao's army to fight all the way to the city before offering a petition to surrender?

    The answer is very simple. There is an old saying: "If you want to be a high official, kill people, set fires, and be recruited!"

    If Zhang Xiu takes the initiative to go to Xuchang and surrender, he will definitely not be taken seriously by the Cao Ying Group, because you have come to surrender because you are desperate. If you are given a false position and a little gold and silver as a reward, you will be dismissed. I am afraid you will have to sit there for the rest of your life.  On the bench!

    On the contrary, if Zhang Xiu first launches a rebellion and makes the momentum bigger, which not only shows his ability, but also attracts the attention of the court, and waits until Cao Cao personally leads the army to conquer, and then surrenders the city, the price will be completely different.  Well, you have to be a high-ranking official, you have to ride a horse, and maybe you can even be made a marquis!

    Human nature is like this. Things that are easy to get will not be cherished. The harder it is, the more difficult it is to get. Therefore, if you want to surrender at a good price, you have to put some thought into it. However, Zhang Xiu is a martial artist who plays with guns.  It's no problem if you get good at it, but he doesn't understand such profound principles of human nature. There is an expert guiding him behind the scenes!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The surrender ceremony was held on the bank of Feishui River. In order to show solemnity, Cao Jun specially built a 'surrender platform', which was divided into three floors. Each floor was nine feet high and several feet in diameter. There were five-color flags on it, and there were dozens of people.  The golden armored warriors guard with swords, they are very powerful!

    Prime Minister Cao Cao was wearing a golden helmet and a big red cloak. He stood proudly on the stage. Cao family members gathered behind him, and civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the steps. As for Zhang Xiu, who came to surrender, he stood respectfully.  Standing in the audience, not daring to look up!

    "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, has unparalleled benevolence and cannot bear the loss of life. He will stop the disaster of war and accept the gift of surrender!"

    The surrender ceremony has begun, and the person serving as the chief of ceremonies is none other than the emperor's uncle who has always been low-key and almost forgotten by people ~ Liu Bei!

    After the Battle of Xiapi, Liu Bei returned to Xuchang with the army. For more than half a year, he has been living in his mansion. He neither goes to court nor is a guest. He lives in seclusion and strives to eliminate his presence in the court.  It would be best if everyone forgot about him!

    However, what kind of person is Cao Cao? His mind is like the sea and his eyes are like lightning. If he forgets anyone, he cannot forget this "big-eared Afu". He secretly dispatched a large number of people to monitor him. This time he went to Wancheng and simply sent Liu Bei out.  Bringing it to the army and keeping it by your side is the most reassuring thing!

    However, on the surface, Cao Cao still loved Liu Bei very much. Not only did he give him generous rewards, but they even lived next to each other in their tents in the camp and saw each other almost every day. During this surrender ceremony, Liu Bei was even asked to serve as  He took on the role of 'ceremony officer' and let him have a good 'scenery' in front of everyone!

    A traitor and a tyrant, they compete with each other in this way to see who has better acting skills and who is more tenacious!

    Next, at the 'surrender stage', when he heard the shouts of the chief of ceremonies, Zhang Xiu followed the ancient etiquette and first took off his armor, removed his crown, let down his hair, then took off his boots, exposing his feet, and then held the  Wearing a sword, he walked up to the stage step by step, came to Cao Cao, and presented the sword to show his surrender!

    Looking at Zhang Xiu who surrendered with his sword, Prime Minister Cao Cao just nodded slightly, but he was not very happy in his heart. Although the enemy surrendered without a fight, although it was a good thing, it went against his original intention. This time he wanted to conquer Wancheng.  Take the opportunity to practice your religionIt seems that the ability of this young man can only wait for the next opportunity!

    Cao Cao stroked his long beard and did not reach out to take the sword. Instead, he raised his eyes and motioned to Cao Ang beside him to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender on his behalf. The affairs of the clan's children can be postponed, but his son's future must not be delayed. Let Cao Ang  Going up to accept surrender is equivalent to achieving military merit in disguise and completing his first appearance in front of the army. After returning to Xuchang, he can also take advantage of the situation to promote his official position and let him enter the court. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone!

    "The traitor is also a human being, and he also loves his son. In this regard, there is no difference between Cao Cao and an ordinary soldier in the audience. They both hope that their son will have a bright future, and it is best to surpass him!"

    "Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"

    Looking at Cao Ang again, after receiving his father's signal, he straightened his chest and raised his head, took a step forward, took the sword in his hand, then raised it high and announced to all directions. The audience suddenly heard drums and trumpets, thunderous cheers, and the soldiers were also considered the first.  I witnessed the elegance of the eldest son once!

    After the cheers subsided, Cao Ang did not return to his original position. Instead, he unexpectedly hung the sword back on Zhang Xiu's waist, took off his cloak, put it on Zhang Xiu, and patted him.  Shoulder, whisper a few words to show comfort!

    In a gentleman's war, the defeated army will not be humiliated, and only by treating the surrendered enemy well can you show your broad mind!

    Although Cao Ang did not have the brilliance and brilliance of his father, he still had his own advantages, that is, his easy-going temperament and his ability to win over people's hearts. As soon as this move came out, Zhang Xiu was immediately moved and bowed repeatedly, expressing his willingness to play the role of a dog and a horse for the eldest son.  labor!

    "My son is kind and kind, and he will be a wise master in the future!"

    Cao Cao stroked his long beard and was very satisfied with his son's performance. As a superior, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know martial arts, doesn't understand military affairs, or is even illiterate, but he must be able to win over people's hearts. He who wins people's hearts will win the world.  Isn't Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the best example? A small pavilion chief in Bashui could make such heroes as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin willingly follow him. He relied on winning people's hearts!

    Not only Cao Cao, but also the civil and military officials on both sides of the steps nodded frequently. With Cao Ang's character and ability, he is definitely a qualified successor. He will definitely develop and expand the Cao Ying Group's business in the future, and everyone will be rich.  Guaranteed, besides, who wouldn¡¯t want to follow a kind lord, at least his own life can be guaranteed!

    Even Liu Bei, who had always watched with cold eyes, secretly praised in his heart: "It's so good that Cao A has a son, even if he dies, he will have no regrets It's a pity for himself, he still has no heirs. I hope God can give me a smart son!"

    Things have reached this point, which is quite perfect. Cao Cao is satisfied, the civil and military officials are satisfied, and even the surrendered general Zhang Xiu is satisfied. If it ends here, then it would be hello to you, me, and everyone

    But it¡¯s a pity that some people are dissatisfied with this surrender ceremony. They are the descendants of the Cao clan, and the leader is Cao Anmin!

    These people have been trained in the family for many years, and it is basically their first time to go into battle. They are all arrogant and think of themselves as "invincible generals". They dream of wielding their swords, killing enemies on horseback, and winning countless honors!

    As a result, a surrender ceremony shattered all their dreams. The enemies surrendered. Who else were they going to fight? They couldn't become invincible generals. You can imagine the depression in their hearts!

    "Brother Anmin, the enemy is gone, what should we do?"

    "Yes, it's so shameless to just go back empty-handed!"

    "I'm really unwilling to give in. I still thought that I could achieve military merit and be granted the title of Marquis for fun?"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After the surrender ceremony, a group of clan members surrounded Cao Anmin and complained. Among these people, Cao Anmin was usually the most scheming and the most favored by Cao Cao, so everyone regarded him as their leader!

    "Everyone, please stop being stupid and let me think about it!"

    Cao Anmin was also very depressed. He was also very ambitious during this expedition. He wanted to get a position like a general, become famous, and let the world know that the Cao family still had a general like him. Now that the 'name' was gone, then  Just have some profit!

    "Come, follow me into Wancheng, and let's get some trophies!" Every time Cao's army goes out on an expedition, in addition to being promoted to a higher rank, he can also bring back countless trophies, gold, silver, treasures, beautiful women, pearls and jade Everything is available, so that these clans can  The disciples were very envious. Since the general's position was gone, let's use the spoils of war to fill his empty heart!

    "Drive!Drive! Drive!"

    After the discussion was decided, a group of clan disciples galloped towards Wancheng with their horses and whips and their attendants, like a swarm of locusts coming to sweep away, they had to eat them all!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The city rushed over, like a swarm of locusts coming to sweep away, and they had to eat it all!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
