Zhang Xiu's arrival did indeed relieve Cao **'s pressure a lot...

He was also very happy and went out of the city to greet Zhang Xiu himself, and even held a banquet in Xudu City to welcome Zhang Xiu.

Speaking of Zhang Xiu, Cao ** seems to rely heavily on him on the surface, but he always has a sense of precaution in his heart...

Zhang Xiu, a native of Wuwei Zuli, was the nephew of Zhang Ji, the general of the cavalry during the Dong Zhuo period.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Zhang Ji, Li Jue and Guo Si and others besieged Chang'an. Zhang Xiu was promoted to General Jianzhong and Marquis of Xuanwei for his military achievements. However, later, Zhang Ji and Li Jue and Guo Si had a falling out, so they took their troops to Jingzhou alone. As a result, they were shot and killed by a trap when they attacked Rangcheng.

After Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu took over his team and stationed in Wancheng to join forces with Liu Biao.

In the second year of Jian'an, Cao ** went south to fight, but Zhang Xiu was furious because he stole Zhang Xiu's aunt, Mrs. Zou, which made him angry and attacked Cao **. This was the very famous Battle of Wan in history. In this battle, Cao ** lost his eldest son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin and his beloved general Dian Wei.

Later, Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's advice and surrendered to Cao **. Cao ** was very happy and asked his son to marry Zhang Xiu's daughter and appointed Zhang Xiu as General Yangwu.

During the first battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiu made great contributions and was named General of the Qiang Destruction.

In everyone's eyes, this is like a model for the monarch and his subjects.

But in fact, neither Cao* nor Zhang Xiu were afraid of each other.

Especially Zhang Xiu, he was very nervous. No matter what, he killed Cao **'s eldest son, and because of this incident, Cao **'s family had problems and separated from Mrs. Ding. Even if Cao ** didn't care about this, Zhang Xiu was always on guard. This time, Cao ** transferred Zhang Xiu from Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu did not dare to be negligent and immediately rushed to obey the order.

At the banquet, Cao ** seemed very happy and exchanged cups with Zhang Xiu.

Both sides were very happy, and it was decided immediately. Zhang Xiu set up a camp early the next morning and rushed to Guandu to participate in the war.

After the banquet, Cao ** returned to the back house...

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, he suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain. The abdominal pain made Cao **'s face turn pale, and there was no blood at all. Mrs. Huan was also awakened and was also startled by Cao **'s pale face. She hurriedly ran to inform Mrs. Bian. Mrs. Bian came to the couch, but saw that Cao ** was so painful that she could not speak. Seeing this situation, Mrs. Bian was also shocked and quickly ordered her retainers: "What are you still standing there? Come and find Doctor Ji quickly to treat Sikong... How could you get abdominal pain?"

Cao ** suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Bian's hand.

"Sikong, you..."

Cao ** shook his head repeatedly and said in an extremely weak voice: "Don't go to find Yoshimoto and send someone to inform Wen Ruo immediately."

"But……"

"Don't be too long-winded!"

Cao ** shouted angrily, but seemed to use all his strength.

Mrs. Bian quickly agreed and asked someone to invite Xun Yu to come.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Since you are not feeling well, why don't you let me come to Yoshimoto for treatment?"

"Madam, send someone to Yoshimoto's house immediately and take down Na Yoshimoto!"

"ah?"

"Don't talk too much... It's that Jiben, don't let this person go."

Cao ** has been taking Jiben to prescribe him Fahan Decoction for him for a while, and his headache has been cured much. Today, he is holding a banquet in the mansion, and he also drank a bowl of Fahan Decoction before the banquet... There is naturally no problem with the wine and food in Cao's mansion. The sudden abdominal pain can only be explained, that is, there is a problem with Jiben's Fahan Decoction. But the problem is that when Cao ** took Fuhan Decoction, Jiben also drank a lot in front of him. If there is really a problem with Fahan Decoction, why did Jiben dare to take it in front of Cao **?

Cao ** couldn't understand the mystery, but he was sure that this matter must be related to Yoshimoto.

He struggled to sit up, and was about to speak, but he heard a noise outside the door. Then he saw a man breaking into the room with Cao Zhi and a boy, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Lord, something is not good. Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled and joined forces with infantry captain Jin Yi to attack the city."

Zhang Xiu, rebel?

After Cao** heard this, he still didn't understand what was going on.

He hurriedly said, "Madam, go and gather everyone together, let's leave as soon as possible."

The troops in Xudu City were a little weak, and Cao ** never expected that Jin Yi and Zhang Xiu would unite to rebel.

Jiben, Jin Yi, Zhang Xiu, Emperor Han...

When Cao ** connected the four people together, he immediately realized the problem. For a long time, Cao ** always felt that there was a force in Xu Du City threatening him, but he could not find any clues. He even looked at Fu Wan, the general of the auxiliary country, but later he found that Fu Wan had always been very honest and had no contact with anyone... After Wang Zitai was killed, Jia Xu found a clue, but the clue was interrupted later... Could it be that Liu Chuang and Jin Yi and others colluded?

wrong!

Cao ** immediately denied this idea. If Liu Chuang really colluded with Jin Yi and the others, he would not have fought hard in Guandu...

In fact, Cao ** found out that he was confused by Liu Chuang!

He attached too much importance to Liu Chuang, so he tried every means to find people who had something to do with Liu Chuang.

But now it seems that Jin Yi and other guys clearly have other plans and want to take advantage of the situation... but Cao ** has never paid attention.

No wonder, who made Jin Yiping Yueli look very low-key?

But if you think it through, what can you do?

At this time, Cao ** had already started to spit out black blood.

The Fahan Decoction that Jiben provided him with was not a poisonous surname, but after adding a medicinal herb, the quality of the surname changed. Of course, it would be a big deal if he only took one medicinal herb alone. The key point was that Cao ** then sucked the medicinal herb to conflict with the medicinal herb of Fahan Decoction. Therefore, the key point of this is wine! Cao ** had been reluctant to eat alcohol because of headaches, which made Jiben no chance to take medicine. Today, when he heard that Zhang Xiu arrived outside the city, although he didn't know that Zhang Xiu was the foreign aid invited by Jin Yi, he also realized that his opportunity had come... So he added that medicinal herb to Fahan Decoction.

Yoshimoto guessed that Cao ** would definitely hold a banquet to welcome Zhang Xiu.

As long as he ate wine, he would pull out the medicinal herb, which would conflict with Fahan Decoction. Therefore, the Fahan Decoction, which was cured, became a poison.

It can be said that Jimoto took great pains to make this prescription.

This is also the main reason why he was reluctant to take action, because he had to make sure that after taking the supplemented Fahan soup, Cao ** would drink wine within six hours. Zhang Xiu's arrival gave Yoshimoto this opportunity. Although Cao ** was always on guard against Yoshimoto, he was not a doctor after all, and he didn't know the name of the medicine and pharmacology. In addition, every time he took the medicine, Yoshimoto would use it first, so he was less careful.

Who knows...

Although Cao ** didn't understand how Jiben poisoned him, he could understand that this matter must be related to Jiben.

At this moment, Zhanghua Sect was in chaos... Xun Yu rushed out of Zhanghua Sect and walked towards Yanling without much effort.

But I knew that I had just left the city not far, and the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
