Chapter 254 Entering the city
After saying that, Zhang Xiu took out the long sword from his waist and said loudly, "I, Zhang Xiu, have lived in the world for more than 20 years. I have been skilled in archery and horses since I was a child. I believe I am not inferior to anyone, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this today. It's ridiculous and ridiculous! Hahahahaha..."
After laughing, he committed suicide in front of Jia Xu.
Looking at Zhang Xiu who was willing to die, Jia Xu stood there motionlessly until the sound of shouting for killing came from outside. When Cao Cao's soldiers broke the gate of the government office and rushed in, he sorted out his clothes and stood safely next to Zhang Xiu's body.
After the city was broken, Cao Cao rushed into the city first. Since most of the generals were dead and Zhang Xiu lost the mentality of resistance, Cao's army easily broke through the military camps and defense lines in the city.
But since entering the door, Cao Cao never saw Zhang Xiu. You must know that the purpose of rushing in at the risk was to humiliate Zhang Xiu fiercely and then kill him in his desperate eyes, so that he could relieve the anger in his heart.
As a result, after rushing in, he didn't see Zhang Xiu's figure along the way. When he arrived at the county government gate, he snorted coldly at the closed door, then kicked up without hesitation, and kicked the closed door open.
For the safety of Cao Cao, the guard beside him rushed in quickly.
When Cao Cao raised his foot and stepped into the county government gate, he heard a calm and calm voice coming from inside, "Secretary Jia Xu, I have met Cao Sikong."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at him. A middle-aged man was standing there, looking calmly at himself walking into the door.
A familiar figure was lying not far from his feet. The blood all over the ground proved that the man was dead here. Cao Cao walked over. Sure enough, the one who fell to the ground was Zhang Xiu who had been muttering after entering the city.
He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "This guy is cheap."
After saying that, he looked at the man in front of him, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm waiting for Sikong to come and take over Wancheng."
"You also want to imitate Zhang Xiu's children and pretend to surrender to me?" He didn't believe the people around Zhang Xiu at all.
"Come here! Drag him out and chop him!" At this time, Cao Cao was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger because Zhang Xiu committed suicide after his defeat. When he saw Jia Xu, he had a lot of evil thoughts in his heart. Anyway, he was not familiar with this person himself, so Cao Cao simply planned to use him as his punching bag after Zhang Xiu's death.
Jia Xu had a lot of plans, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao just wanted to find someone to vent his anger. Before he could speak, Cao Cao gave the order and prepared to drag him out to kill him.
At this time, Jia Xu was quite regretful. If God gave him a chance, he would have been huddled at home honestly and waited until the situation was settled before coming out, instead of pretending to be as he was now, his head was gone.
Just as the guard surrounded and grabbed Jia Xu, the voice of a young man came from the door, "Brother, please wait."
Jia Xu found that after the sound came, the guards who had grabbed him stopped at the same time and looked at the door.
Xiahou Yu, who had just arrived at the door, also heard the conversation inside. He originally thought that Cao Cao would naturally take Jia Xu under his command, but unexpectedly, his brother wanted to remove Jia Xu's head without saying a word.
This special cat is different from what he knows. Jia Xu shouldn't have joined Cao Cao's command and become the adviser who Cao Cao trusted the longest after Xun You. Why would Cao Cao be chopped down by Cao Cao if he had a disagreement?
He immediately rushed in from outside to stop Cao Cao's behavior.
Although Cao Cao's anger did not stop burning because of Zhang Xiu's death, he still acknowledged the behavior of Su Wei after hearing Xiahou Yu's words.
Xiahou Yu walked in and saw the middle-aged man who looked a little thin and thin who was caught by the crowd. He didn't need to guess that it was Zhang Xiu.
"Brother, since Zhang Xiu is dead, then let him go with the hatred! Besides, apart from the losses of the central army, have you and Zi Xiu survived safely?
Now Zhang Xiu is dead, and most of his generals died on the city walls. The army has no leader and is prone to riots. This will make it very troublesome for brothers to control Wancheng.
We also need the only Lord Jia, who is familiar with Zhang Xiu's army, to gather these defeated soldiers to facilitate our management and acceptance."
After hearing Xiahou Yu's words, Cao Cao calmed down and felt a little regretful about his previous impulse.
"Well! Zixiu's words make sense. Since Zixiu has pleaded for you, I'll let you go."
Although Cao Cao, who had calmed down at this time, also extinguished his intention to kill Jia Xu, as the main general, he could not change his words easily, but just followed the steps given by Xiahou Yu to turn the topic.
Jia Xu, who thought he was dead, didn't expect that he would not have to die. As the ups and downs were overwhelming, his legs became a little weak.
Fortunately, his clothes were relatively generous at this time. In addition, he lived in his fifties, and Jia Xu had better concentration, so he did not let others see his weakness.
Cao Cao didn't want to stay here at this time. After all, he was angry when he looked at the man lying on the ground, but he had to let out the anger, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over. So he thought of Mrs. Zou. With Zhang Xiu's character, he would definitely take it, so Mrs. Zou would probably be in the back hall at this time.
When he came to the back hall, he found that Mrs. Zou was so scared that she hid in the house because of the shouts outside. He pulled her over without hesitation and vented her irritability.
After Cao Cao left, Jia Xu respectfully bowed to Xiahou Yu. Xiahou Yu quickly supported him, "Wenhe, don't be nervous. My brother was also angry by Zhang Xiu's rebellion before. When he gets angry, he will come to you to apologize."
He was a little surprised to hear the young man calling out his name. After all, he has always been low-key outside, and he is sure that he does not know the young man in front of him.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Xiahou Yu, Xiahou Ziqing, is the cousin of Brother Meng De. This time I followed the baggage team to help my brother Pingwan." Xiahou Yu saw Jia Xu's confused expression and remembered that he had not introduced himself. The person on the other side had no idea of his name.
After hearing Xiahou Yu's self-introduction, Jia Xu quickly saluted again, "The lower official Jia Xu met the marquis."
Jia Xu is well-known for Xiahou Yu's reputation. After all, Li Jue and Guo Si also knew that the two were not in harmony, but he did not expect that the two would be easily played with by the young man in front of him.
