The loss of the Yangzhou Army was not small.

Blaming Yuan Shu?

No, the Yangzhou Army has no such tradition.

Dian Wei sternly reviewed himself, expressing his shortcomings in writing, how difficult it is for a rough man.

However, Dian Wei did it.

"The lord entrusted us with the army, and the soldiers entrusted us with their lives. We are sorry for the lord, and for the soldiers."

War is never a casual thing.

After the review, Dian Wei humbly asked Zhao Yun for advice, and said, "Zilong, do you think we are not suitable for commanding troops?"

To be honest, Dian Wei is not bad as a pioneer, but he is still a bit short of leading alone.

"It's evil, don't blame yourself, let alone lose confidence, the general also grows up with all kinds of mistakes." Zhao Yunyu said earnestly.

"But why doesn't elder brother make mistakes?" Dian Wei asked rhetorically.

"Ahem, my lord is different, he is born handsome." Zhao Yun said.

"But so are you." Dian Wei sighed.

Zhao Yun is embarrassed, he now understands the meaning of the lord, which is to cultivate handsome talents who are unique in their own right.

Looking at the entire Yangzhou Army, not many can do this.Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu are all brave enough to surpass their brains, and Gao Shun has good ability, but he is not so interesting.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao are the most reassuring, followed by Huang Zhong and Zhang Yun.

But when it comes to trust, Liu Ke still relies more on Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.Zhao Yun has grown up, Dian Wei is still the same.

After all, as Liu Ke's status rose, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to play, and more and more opportunities for his generals to perform.

Therefore, Liu Ke planned to train Dian Wei.

"Come on, you have to read more military books in the future, don't let the lord live up to your expectations." Zhao Yun said.

Under Liu Ke's persecution, Dian Wei is no longer a reckless man who can't read big characters, but he is still far from being familiar with military books.

"We know that we will not let up." Dian Wei said.

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still one thing on his mind.Since Yuan Shu's defeat, Zhang Xiu's attitude has been blurred, making Zhao Yun very embarrassed.

Is this kind of thing still up for grabs?

If this was the case, Zhao Yun would be very disappointed with his senior brother.

Cao Cao's emissary Zhong Yao came to Wancheng secretly, which is also the reason for Zhang Xiu's silence.

Cao Cao's conditions were very simple and rude, that is, he directly canonized Zhang Xiu as the governor of Yuzhou.

Now the conditions of both parties are as follows:

Joining Yangzhou, abandoning the territory that is now painstakingly managed, the future is uncertain.

Join Cao Cao's army and become the governor of Yuzhou. He will be in charge of Yuzhou justifiably, and will get the support of Cao Cao to drive out other forces in Yuzhou.

"Inspector Zhang must think clearly. Yangzhou has formed its own system and has been perfected in all aspects. If you take refuge in the past, what else can you do besides serve under Zhao Yun's command? Moreover, you are from Dong Zhuojun, so you will inevitably be rejected in Yangzhou. " Zhong Yao persuaded.

"Hmph, Hua Xiong is also from Dong Zhuojun, why didn't you see him being excluded?" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, he absolutely didn't believe these nonsense.

However, the conditions offered by Cao Cao were indeed very favorable, which Zhang Xiu could not refuse.

Now Cao Cao's army can't enter Yuzhou, so he can only support Wancheng indefinitely and compete with Yuan Shu for hegemony.

"Inspector Zhang's words are wrong. The main battle corps is the core of the Marquis of Dongyang. Hua Xiong became the governor of Xuzhou. Isn't he being excluded?" Zhong Yao persevered.

"When did it become so worthless to guard a state and control [-] defenders? Can Cao Cao give such a condition?" Zhang Xiu said.

"Hua Xiong was born and died for the Marquis of Dongyang, Zhang Inspector is different. Did Yangzhou offer any conditions for you to seek refuge in the past?" Zhong Yao continued.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiu didn't agree to Zhao Yun's solicitation. The princes are fighting for hegemony, and even a verbal promise can be backed out, let alone no promise at all?

Now Zhang Xiu is not alone, a group of people under his command want to eat.

Cao Cao was very generous, and suddenly threw out the position of governor of Yuzhou.

"Nowadays, the general trend of the world is towards Dongyanghou, and the princes are avoiding three points. However, how is it compared to Grand Master Dong? The world is ultimately the world of the world. Dongyanghou seems to have expanded his territory, but he has lost his allies." Zhong Yao analyzed. .

Zhang Xiu was thoughtful.

"The most glorious time of the Marquis of Dongyang is not now, but back then. At that time, the great general He Jin did not dare to be an enemy of the Marquis of Dongyang, because Liu Yu of Youzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou They are all his allies, now if you look at it again, besides Yuan Shu who is like a joke, who else speaks for him?" Zhong Yao said.

"Since ancient times, there has been a lot of support for those who have attained the right way, and few who have been helped by those who have lost the way. Behind the strength of Marquis Dongyang lies weakness." Zhong Yao said.

"Let's discuss this again!" Zhang Xiu is no fool, how could he be persuaded so easily.

Lei Xu, who originally agreed to take refuge in Yangzhou, also hesitated. Dongyang Hou is indeed a choice, but it seems that Cao Cao is also good.Cao Cao controls the righteousness of the court, no, the position of governor is like Chinese cabbage.

"My lord, you can't hesitate in this matter, otherwise the two sides will not please you." Lei Xu said.

Can Zhang Xiu not know?

"Is there anything you can do?" Zhang Xiu asked, at the moment his mind was muddled.

"Master, you can test Zhao Zilong's tone and see what conditions Yangzhou will offer." Lei Xu said.
