EBE Chapter 252 A Night of Life and Death in Wancheng? Su Yu and Zou Wan's Wedding Night!
Chapter 252 A Night of Life and Death in Wancheng? Su Yu and Zou Wan's Wedding Night!
"Youwei, let's talk about other things after this is resolved."
"The most urgent thing is for you to capture Kuai Qi as soon as possible and use him to apologize to Minister Cao."
Jia Xu got into the zone in a second.
While verbally analyzing the current situation for Zhang Xiu, he was also touched by Zhang Xiu's actions just now.
"Yes, Mr. Wenhe, I'll do whatever you say!"
Zhang Xiu, like a good boy, once again threw his brains away and accepted Jia Xu's trusteeship, personally going to Kuai Qi's residence to capture him!
The north wind is howling, and the weather is getting colder and colder after the autumn harvest; winter is just around the corner.
Kuai Qi received the same treatment as his uncle Kuai Yue. Before he could even put his pants on, he was so frightened that he jumped out of bed!
Unfortunately, Kuai Yue had a tunnel to escape from when he was in Xiangyang, but Kuai Qi doesn't have one now.
He was carried to Jia Xu like an eagle lifting Xiao Kun.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Jia Xu, Kuai Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.
What's happening here?
Wait a minute!
Wasn't Jia Xu captured by him personally and taken to Xiangyang, and then handed over to his uncle Kuai Yue by his own hand?
Why did Jia Xu suddenly reappear before him?
This must all be a dream!
As soon as I wake up from my dream, I'm back to reality!
Kuai Qi thought to himself.
But the howling north wind made Kuai Qi's legs tremble with cold.
What he considered a dream, he could never wake up from, no matter what.
Only then did they realize that Jia Xu had indeed "escaped" from Xiangyang.
"Kuai Qi, do you still remember how you dealt with me back then?"
Jia Xu smiled knowingly.
Kuai Qi was so shocked that he squeezed his legs together and almost peed himself.
And the next moment.
Hu Che'er stepped forward as ordered, and at Jia Xu's signal, threw away Kuai Qi's coat as well.
Wearing only a pair of shorts, Kuai Qi was hung upside down on the city gate for an entire night.
Hu Che'er finally put him down the next morning.
But by this time, Kuai Qi was frozen solid.
His snot and saliva were stuck together, making him look incredibly disheveled.
Jia Xu did not let Kuai Qi die just like that.
After all, the power to decide what to do rested with Cao Cao.
Jia Xu merely vented his anger and punished Kuai Qi.
……
Seeing that Jia Xu had indeed brought Zhang Xiu over, Cao Cao did not make things difficult for Zhang Xiu any further.
As a powerful and ruthless leader, he certainly possesses this much magnanimity.
Although Zhang Xiu was a bit dull, he was not an ambitious person.
His 30,000 Xiliang soldiers were all skilled warriors.
"Ang'er, from now on, Youwei will be under your command."
Cao Cao pointed at Cao Ang and said.
Cao Ang was suddenly startled.
Zhang Xiu was also taken aback for a moment.
Su Yu patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
Jia Xu kicked Zhang Xiu in the buttocks. Zhang Xiu suddenly realized what was happening and quickly thanked Cao Cao for his trust.
The old strategist saw it clearly: Cao Cao was giving Zhang Xiu a chance to be highly valued!
Although Cao Ang has only recently come of age, his status as the heir to Cao Cao's camp is as secure as it gets.
The generals under Cao Cao were, after all, Cao Cao's men.
Sending them to serve Cao Ang was tantamount to sending them on an "external mission" by Cao Cao; the boss was still Cao Cao, not Cao Ang.
But Zhang Xiu was different.
He had just joined Cao Cao's camp and had never had any prior dealings with it.
Making him obey Cao Ang's orders is tantamount to handing him over to Cao Ang to be groomed as a core member of his team.
He may not be as good as other generals in Cao Cao's camp for the time being.
But once Cao Ang gradually takes over the power in Cao's camp, Zhang Xiu will be Cao Ang's meritorious official and will definitely be given important responsibilities!
For example, Sima Yi and Chen Qun held relatively low-ranking official positions and were not highly valued during Cao Cao's era.
But as soon as Cao Pi ascended to the throne, he experienced a meteoric rise.
Jia Xu also expressed his gratitude to Cao Cao.
At the same time, she gave Su Yu a grateful look.
Old Jia is a shrewd man; it goes without saying that Su Yu was the mastermind behind this!
But this arrangement would be a win-win situation for Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Ang!
Zhang Xiu's intention to ambush and kill Cao Cao was something that could not be kept secret from Cao Cao's camp.
If he were allowed to continue serving Cao Cao, many of Cao Cao's colleagues would inevitably view him with prejudice.
For example, the reason why Zhang Liao had a bad relationship with Yue Jin and Li Dian in history, but only a good relationship with Xu Huang, is this.
Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao, which was already the day Lü Bu was killed and the Battle of Guandu was imminent.
Veteran generals like Yue Jin and Li Dian, who had fought against Zhang Liao for so many years, could not be turned from enemies to friends in a matter of minutes.
Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were both surrendered generals and had previously been enemies of Cao Cao. They were also fellow townsmen from Bingzhou, so they naturally got along very well.
Zhang Xiu is currently facing the same situation.
However, Cao Ang was already a rising star. In the future, Cao Cao could easily assign Cao Ang to be part of his inner circle, especially when dealing with surrendered generals like Zhang Xiu.
After dealing with Zhang Xiu's matter.
Cao Cao then officially entered Wancheng.
Cao Anmin suddenly ran over to Cao Cao with a sly grin and said:
"Uncle, would you like me to find a few widows from Wancheng to keep you company for the night?"
If this hadn't been brought up, Cao Cao might not have realized what was missing.
But Cao Cao's interest was immediately piqued by Cao Anmin's words.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ang suddenly walked over from the other side.
"Anmin, so that's what you were up to when you suddenly disappeared!"
"Look at the fist!"
"Crack!"
Cao Anmin lay on the ground and was dragged out by Cao Ang.
Cao Cao was so startled that he quickly took two steps back.
"Zixiu, you're not going to hit your father too, are you?"
Seeing that his "deeds had been exposed," Cao Cao dared not use his fatherly authority to reprimand Cao Ang.
He dared to reprimand Cao Ang, and after returning to Xuchang, Cao Ang dared to complain to Lady Ding.
If you complain to Madam Ding, Madam Ding will dare to complain to Cao Song!
Who doesn't have a little bit of a father's authority?
"Don't worry, Father, I know you are a good person. It's just that Anmin is a bad boy."
Without looking back, Cao Ang dragged Cao Anmin away.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
The next instant, Xu Chu appeared out of nowhere, grinning mischievously.
"My lord, the master sent me to tell you that he thinks it would be good to build a branch village of Xu Family Village in Wancheng. What do you think?"
"This suggestion is great! This is great!!"
"Hahaha, Ziyi really understands me."
Cao Cao had new expectations.
……
As night fell
He did not reappear on the night of Wancheng's death.
Instead, it was Su Yu and the eldest daughter of the Zou family's wedding night.
Zou Wan was the maiden name of the Zou family.
The character portrayals are completely different from those depicted by Dog Card in later generations.
Perhaps it's because Zou Wan is still a young woman, getting married for the first time, and doesn't understand many things.
In the end, it was Su Yu, that old fox, who personally taught Zou Wan.
Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu felt more at ease after Zou Wan married Su Yu.
In this way, Cao Cao's camp would have double protection.
The future is still worth looking forward to!
however.
Kuai Qi is very unhappy tonight.
He was once again hung on the city wall of Wancheng by Hu Che'er.
We will not set out to attack Liu Bei until tomorrow, and we will have to stay overnight in Wancheng tonight.
Jia Xu, this vengeful and benevolent man, would certainly not forget Kuai Qi's kindness!
