Chapter 191

Outside the north gate of Yuyang County, a carriage came slowly.

The man in the carriage is Cheng Yu.

Zhang Xiu led the army on the way. The speed was slower. Although Cheng Yu started from Yangzhai County, Yanzhou, and then entered Nanyang County, he was fast. After Zhang Xiu arrived in Yuyang County, he came to Yuyang County immediately.

Today's Yuyang County, the city has expanded a lot.

People come and go, it's very prosperous.

After all, Yuyang county was the political center under Zhang Xiu. Moreover, many industries of Huang family and Pang family are located in Yuyang County, and Nanyang County is peaceful, so many businessmen gather here

Cheng Yu looks at everything in Yuyang county with a serious expression.

Previously, Cheng Yu's impression of foreign countries was that Yuyang county was not a prosperous and prosperous place.

Now, it's quite different.

After Cheng Yu arrived in Yuyang County, he didn't go to the post house to stay, but found an inn to stay. He stayed in the inn. Instead of meeting Zhang Xiu immediately, he arranged for his entourage to inquire about the news of Nanyang County, so as to fully understand Zhang Xiu.

Only in this way can negotiations be facilitated.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles.

Cheng Yu lived most of his life, saw countless storms and waves, and thought meticulously. As soon as he arrived in Yuyang County, he began to prepare for the negotiation.

He spent two days collecting all the information about Zhang Xiu. Since Zhang Xiu entered Nanyang, all the things in Nanyang County are summarized on Cheng Yu's desk for Cheng Yu to understand.

The more he looked, the more startled he was.

Zhang Xiu entered Nanyang, from scratch, from less to more, just a few months time, completely based. In less than a year, Zhang Xiu's strength has developed to the point where she can defeat Cao Cao.

Of course, this is not the whole strength of Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao made every effort to attack Zhang Xiu, he could easily defeat her. The problem is that under such circumstances, Cao Cao's border will be turbulent, and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others will take advantage of the fire. So although Zhang Xiu is not facing Cao Cao's full strength, blocking Cao Cao is also blocking Cao's offensive.

Cheng Yu's heart is also afraid.

Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with.

Even in accordance with the conditions given by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu would still open her mouth.

Cheng Yu passed all the news in his mind, and arranged for his attendants to go out in a carriage. He walked out of the inn, boarded the carriage, and went to Zhang Xiu's mansion.

When the carriage arrived, Cheng Yu got out of the carriage.

He went to the door, took out the letter and told the porter what he had come for.

As soon as the porter heard that he was Cao Cao's envoy, he didn't dare to delay his time and quickly entered to report the news. Cheng Yu stands at the door, waiting quietly. Today, he was wearing a black robe. His clothes were flowing and his bearing was elegant. He was a scholar with a high reputation and erudition.

Although he was more than 50 years old, he was not deaf, not hunched, with his head held high and his bearing was extraordinary.

He waited quietly.

After a while, the porter came out again and said respectfully, "follow me!"

Cheng Yu nodded, then followed them into the room. After a while, he came to the door of the hall. The attendant signaled Cheng Yu to enter, and he turned and left.

Cheng Yu shakes his robes and strides in.

Entering the hall, Cheng Yu saw Zhang Xiu for the first time.

In front of him, Zhang Xiu is very handsome, with angular cheeks and eyebrows. Especially that pair of dark and bright eyes, deep and wise, as if to see through the world.

Although Zhang Xiu is young, it gives Cheng Yu the feeling that she is not a young child in her early twenties. On the contrary, Zhang Xiu gives him a feeling that this person has gone through vicissitudes.

Cheng Yu's feeling is very strange.

It's just that he has no time to think about it. After all, there are all kinds of wonders in the world.

Cheng Yu strode into the station, arched his hand and said: "old Cheng Yu, I've met the prefect Zhang."

Zhang Xiu said: "Zhong De Gong doesn't have to be polite."

Cheng Yu's impression of Zhang Xiu was greatly changed by his "Zhong De Gong". Although Zhang Xiu won in succession, even could recite poems and Fu, and beat Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu was a martial artist after all.

It's a limitation of birth.

Cheng Yu thinks that Zhang Xiu is a martial arts man, but Zhang Xiu respects him and calls him Zhongde Gong, which shows that Zhang Xiu is a courteous and virtuous corporal.

This is the posture of Zhang Xiu.

Cheng Yu said, "thank you, Tai Shou Zhang."

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the matter with Mr. Zhongde coming from Yanzhou? You know, Cao Cao and I are antagonistic. Is Zhong De Gong not afraid to die in a foreign land when he goes deep into Nanyang County? "

Cheng Yu's expression is calm, not anxious, not impatient way: "the two armies are at war, do not cut the emissary.". Although Taishou Zhang was hostile to our Lord, it did not affect the communication between envoys. Zhang Tai Shou is a virtuous man. He will not kill people indiscriminately. "

Zhang xiudao said: "it's not necessary. If I capture Yu Jin, Cao Chun and Cao Anmin, and then detain Zhong De Gong, then I have Cao Cao's four confidants under my command. I'm afraid Cao Cao can't lift his head in front of me. "Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Taishou is joking."

He knew that this was Zhang Xiu's joking words. As a vassal, Zhang Xiu could not detain people at will.

Otherwise, where is faith?

This is the most basic principle of living in the world.

What's more, Zhang Xiu impounded Cheng Yu, and didn't get any benefits.

Cheng Yu stopped beating around the Bush, and said to the point: "Mr. Zhang Taishou, I've been sent to Nanyang in the hope of replacing my Lord with Yu Jin, Cao Chun and Cao Anmin."

Zhang Xiu sat up straight and said in a loud voice: "whether it's Yu Jin, or Cao Chun, or Cao Anmin, they are all tiger generals on the battlefield, capable of writing and fighting. These three people are valuable. I don't know what conditions can be given to Cao Gong in exchange for three people? "

Everything is conditional.

When Cao Cao offered the right conditions, Zhang Xiu would let people go, because to ease the deadlock with Cao Cao was also conducive to Zhang Xiu's going north.

However, Zhang Xiu should take the initiative.

If Cao Cao takes the initiative to seek peace, he will have to pay enough.

Cheng Yu see Zhang Xiu did not refuse, the heart is also relieved. With a smile on his face, he said slowly, "my Lord has offered three conditions in exchange for the return of Yu Jin and other three people."

Zhang xiudao said: "I'd like to hear it in detail!"

Cheng Yu leaned forward slightly and said: "first, the LORD went up to the emperor, and Zhang Taishou was the general of Zhennan."

Zhennan general is one of the four generals.

The greatest advantage of this position is that it is in charge of the expedition and garrison. After Zhang Xiu had the rank of Zhennan general, he had great righteousness when he fought in all directions.

Even Liu Biao is no more than a general in Jingzhou and Zhennan. Zhang Xiu, as the prefect of Nanyang County, was given the rank of Zhennan general.

Of course, it has to be strong enough.

Otherwise, the title of Zhennan general is just a short slogan with no practical value.

Zhang Xiu's expression was indifferent and continued: "for me, it's not very useful to have the name of Zhennan general. In this world of great strife, what we pay attention to is not ostentation and fame, but strength. With strength, everything is easy to talk about. "

Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Taishou's words are reasonable, but he has strength and official title. Isn't he mutually reflected?"

"That's true!"

Instead of debating, Zhang Xiu asked, "what's the second?"

Cheng Yu said: "second, the Lord allocated 1000 war horses and presented them to Zhang Taizhou to enhance his cavalry strength. According to the Lord's understanding of Zhang Taishou, I'm afraid you have more than a thousand cavalry. The Lord's gift of more than a thousand horses is absolutely a timely gift for Zhang Taishou. "

Cao Cao's original intention was to provide food and weapons.

The problem is that Cao Cao's food is in short supply.

If you take 100000 or 200000 Jin of grain to let Zhang Xiu release people, Cao Cao would be happy. The problem is, it's absolutely impossible. So after discussing with Cheng Yu and others, Cao Cao decided to transfer 1000 horses.

Zhang Xiu sneered in her heart.

According to the result of his discussion with Jia Xu and others, he got at least 3000 horses. Cao Cao just sent a thousand horses. Zhang Xiu would not agree.

Zhang Xiu didn't say anything for the time being. She said, "what about the third?"

Cheng said: "the third Lord is willing to marry Zhang Yu. Cao family has a female name, Cao Jie, 28 years old, dignified, gentle and virtuous, is an excellent match. Zhang Taishou has already married, and Cao's daughter is willing to be a concubine. "

At this moment, Zhang Xiu's face changed. She was very surprised.

Cao Cao was willing to marry his daughter to him.

It's a big deal.

Zhang Xiu knows about Cao Jie.

In history, Cao Jie was the queen of Liu Xie. In order to control Liu Xie, Cao Cao married three daughters to Liu Xie at one time, among which Cao Jie was the most outstanding.

After empress Fu was killed, Cao Jie was named empress by Liu Xie.

Zhang Xiu was not sure, so she asked: "is Cao Jie Cao Gong's own daughter?"

If this festival is not the other one, isn't it wrong?

When Cheng Yu saw Zhang Xiu and asked, he thought there was a play and nodded: "Cao Jie is Sikong's daughter, and Cao Jie is deeply loved by Sikong. If not, how can we show the sincerity of our Lord, and how can we count marriage? "

Zhang Xiu thought in her heart.

Cheng Yu saw that Zhang Xiu didn't answer, and immediately asked, "Mr. Zhang, my Lord's offer is full of sincerity. I don't know. What do you think of it? "
