In Lu Yu's detailed trembling millet...

Today, Zhang Xiu, Wancheng, mainly relies on the supply of his military supplies to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

And both of them have already signed an alliance, working together to make their lips and teeth cold.

As for the story of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu and Mrs. Zou in detail, it will be a long story, and it must be said from Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao is not unfamiliar with the name Zhang Ji.

In the past, Cao Cao was entrusted to serve Dong, how could he not know that the four powerful generals brought by Dong Zhuo from Xiliang - Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ji!

Eighteen princes attacked Dong, and Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with fire. Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo and was defeated in Xingyang.

Indeed, the commander of the Xiliang Army in this battle was Xu Rong, but the deputy commander was Zhang Ji.

Therefore, Cao Cao was deeply impressed by Zhang Ji.

Originally, Zhang Ji brought Mrs. Zou and her nephew Zhang Xiu to station troops in Chang'an City, but the incident happened in the incident of "The Emperor Returns to the East".

When the emperor returned to the east, Zhang Ji also led his army to participate.

However, because of disagreement with Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, several forces fought hard, and Zhang Ji even tried to hijack the emperor, but in the end, he could not defeat four hands with both fists and fled south in shame.

Afterwards, he encountered the same problem as Cao Cao, and he had no food.

Cao Cao was eating "locusts", but what could he eat?

As he had no choice but to look at Jingzhou and the nine counties of Jingxiang, which were full of food and supplies.

However, there were unexpected situations in the world. When attacking Xiangyang City, Zhang Ji was shot and killed by arrows. His nephew Zhang Xiu took over his position and took his aunt back to Wancheng.

This is the "past and present lives" of Zhang Xiu, the Western Liang tribe.

Cao Cao told Xi Zhicai and Xun You about what Lu Yu said...

At first, the two listened very seriously, but... they thought it was wrong later!

"Cao Sikong, you mentioned just now... Zhang Xiu's military supplies were provided by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but he also mentioned that Liu Biao shot Zhang Ji in random arrows? Can Zhang Xiu let go of such a grudge for killing his uncle? How could they? What about making an alliance?"

Xi Zhicai directly raised his doubts.

Cao Cao explained with a smile. "Don't panic, let me tell you in detail, haha, this is about a woman, a beautiful beauty, Zhang Xiu's aunt, and a widow who has lost her husband. ——Madam Zou!"

When talking about Mrs. Zou, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and green light appeared in them.

It's obvious...

Compared to Zhang Xiu's "past and present life", Cao Cao's interest has always been in this "widow" wife!

Xi Zhicai and Xun You looked at each other. The meaning of Cao Cao's words was so meaningful...

At this time, Cao Cao's words followed one after another.

"It is true that Zhang Ji died at the city of Xiangyang. Zhang Xiu accepted his uncle's subordinates and was in the same power as Liu Biao. But... what was placed in front of him was not just the issue of burying his uncle, but his uncle's subordinates had more than 20,000 spirits. I was still waiting for him to raise food!"

"We have also experienced that drought and can feel the hungry mood of these Xiliang cavalry under the shortage of food. If this continues, most of these old subordinates will mutiny or even eat people! The most important thing is that in this case, Zhang Xiu must also be on guard against Liu Biao and prevent him from taking advantage of others' danger to launch an attack, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

At this point, Cao Cao paused.

The next words, or... the woman mentioned next is what he is most interested in.

"It was at this moment that Zhang Ji's widow Zou took the initiative to persuade his nephew Zhang Xiu to abandon hatred and ask for peace and stop the army! And she, a woman with a special identity, went to Xiangyang to be a lobbyist."

"Don't say... It was precisely because the Zou family took the initiative to go to Xiangyang to express their sincerity that Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu really stopped making peace and became allysers to each other. Liu Biao even took the initiative to bear the expenses of Zhang Xiu's military funds and military rations in Wancheng!"

call out…

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows.

This is so weird!

This woman is so weird too!

In other words, he knew that it was Lu Yu who told Cao Cao, so he believed it a little more.

If this matter comes from the mouths of others, the opera will definitely be retained.

Where is this?

Because of a woman... it made both sides go from deep hatred to a peace of mind. Although this woman can abandon past grudges for the sake of the overall situation and achieve such a level, it is indeed admirable, but... it is still a bit insufficient to make the two princes enter an alliance and work together. .

Just now, Xi Zhicai wanted to question it.

Can…

Suddenly, he thought of something again.

The real reason why Liu Biao agreed to the alliance is...

——It is a "buffer zone"!

That's right, just as Cao Cao once proposed to conquer Xuzhou, Lu Siong, let Liu Bei occupy Xia Pi City and Guangling City.

This is to make Liu Bei a buffer zone between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, so as not to let Cao Cao get into evil with Yuan Shu too early and fight for development time.

And now...

Isn’t Zhang Xiu and the Wancheng where he lives a buffer zone between Cao Cao and Liu Biao?

This is Liu Biao deliberately avoiding getting into evil with Cao Cao.

In other words, the purpose of his military food to Zhang Xiu was actually to let the brave and warlike Zhang Xiu guard the northern gate for him and resist Cao Cao!

hehe…

This is the ultimate goal.

"Cao Sikong, I understand..." Xi Zhicai said... He told his thoughts in his heart, and even emphasized this "buffer zone"!

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly. "Yes, what Zhicai said is one of the three reasons why Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu formed an alliance."

Hmm...

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhicai knocked on his forehead, three points?

That?

What are the other two?

At this moment, Xun You stroked his beard and said seriously: "In my opinion, another meaning of Lu Siong is Liu Biao's concerns!"

"It seems that in the past, Zhang Ji attacked Xiangyang City, and Liu Biao was lucky enough to defend it. This shows that Zhang Xiu's cavalry was also powerful. If he was too anxious, both sides were injured... Liu Biao didn't want to see this. Arrived."

Hahaha…

When Cao Cao blurted out these words, he burst into laughter.

"That's right, the reason why Wancheng and Jingzhou are allies and work together has mentioned three points in total.

The first two points are as said by the two military advisors. One is the buffer zone, and the other is to avoid both losses.

However, this third point is really because of Zou's visit.”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao added with a smile...

"Liu Biao, a guy who always cherishes his reputation, and he is one of the eight guards in the world. Now he has killed his husband and the woman comes to ask for peace. How can he refuse? The alliance, and also provides Zhang Xiu with money and food. Doesn’t this just show the demeanor of his famous scholar? This kind of elegant name that is merely regarded by Liu Biao.”

Blind these words.

Xi Zhicai and Xun You both nodded and guessed, but after all, they rarely guessed this weight.

Of course, they were convinced by Lu Yu's analysis of Liu Biao. Liu Biao was just a symposium, but it was almost recognized by the talents of Yingchuan.

Lu Siong, you are as accurate as you always think of people!

By Cao Cao...

Ah no, to be precise, after Lu Siong's analysis, it seems that... they knew the entire Wancheng and the entire Zhang Xiu's situation very well.

The taboo in marching is to fight unprepared battles!

Before, Zhang Xiu knew nothing about the Cao army. Even if he was "lying on the side of the bed, he would not allow others to snore", he would really fight, which was equivalent to blind eyes and deaf ears. Such a battle was not good.

Fight!

But now...

That's another story.

Knowing oneself and enemy, they all have a general understanding of Zhang Xiu and Wancheng. Using this as an opportunity, they can discuss and formulate corresponding strategic plans, adapt to local conditions and timely conditions, and the victory will undoubtedly be much greater.

but…

What Xun You didn’t know about Xi Zhicai was that Lu Yu also told Cao Cao two more words, two meaningful words.

The first sentence is - Beauty is in trouble!

The second sentence is - the wife is awesome for a while, and the wife is chasing her in the crematorium!

Lu Yu’s potential meaning is naturally to show that Lao Cao, Lao Cao, you can’t make a mistake that all men in the world will make because of a woman!

This is unwise...

Of course, Lu Yu thought more. After all, if we follow the course of history, it is precisely because of Wancheng, because of this Mrs. Zou, that Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang, his good nephew Cao Anmin, his ancient evil Laidian Wei, and even
To be continued...
