Zhang Xiu looked at Zang Hong with a smile. He never thought that he could handle such a thorn in one go.

Of course, such talent is worth his energy.

Just like Zhang Yan and Zhang Ren, although inconspicuous, they are actually elites of this era. With Zang Hong's talent, it is more than enough to guard the frontier and be a governor.

Zhang Xiu has already figured out where to place Zang Hong in the future.

"Don't refuse so quickly, let's talk about the transaction content first." Zhang Xiu said.

"Can I not listen?" Zang Hong asked back.

Ma Dai glared at Zang Hong and thought to himself, "This guy is so hateful."

Zhang Xiu smiled and didn't care much. He said calmly: "It's still the topic just now. I'll arrange a place for you to talk to the officers who had five thousand soldiers who were on a hunger strike. I let you go back to see Yuan Shao. The condition is that the five thousand surrendered soldiers must go to Liangzhou. Don't worry, I don't want them to fight or guard the border, as long as they marry and have children in the local area, and reproduce and live."

"By the way, my wife doesn't need to worry. After years of war, there are many women in Liangzhou."

Ma Dai widened his eyes again and looked at Zhang Xiu in disbelief. Is it really let go? It's really not easy to capture this guy alive. The time and energy he spent cannot be calculated.

Zang Hong's expression changed slightly, and he became much more serious. "You really want to let me go?"

"I am the emperor, and I have a word and say nothing." Zhang Xiu said with a smile.

"Don't regret it." Zang Hong narrowed his eyes, and a trace of splendor flashed in it, as if a sharp sword that left his body attacked Zhang Xiu.

"Don't be too happy too early." Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "I know Yuan Shao very well. Yuan Shao is not me, nor is it Cao Cao. I have always been open to talents, such as you, Zang Hong. But Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and dares to be jealous on the inside. I dare to guarantee that if you go back to Yuan Shao, the good result will be alienated and abandoned, and the bad result may be imprisonment."

"Mr. Yuan is a virtuous man, and he will never treat me like you said." Zang Hong shook his head and said decisively.

"Haha, then let's wait and see." Zhang Xiu smiled and was very confident.

Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside and was jealous on the inside. How many people did he kill? How many people did he suspect? In history, Tian Feng told the truth and was detained by Yuan Shao. After Guandu was defeated, Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng.

Some people compare Yuan Shao with Xiang Yu.

Although Xiang Yu did not use Fan Zeng's words, resulting in death and the country's destruction, Xiang Yu did not kill Fan Zeng, but only exiled Fan Zeng.

Yuan Shao did much more than Xiang Yu.

To be honest, Zhang Xiu was also a little worried. If Zang Hong went back like this, he might be killed by Yuan Shao. But there was nothing he could do, it only means that Zang Hong had no luck.

In short, Zhang Xiu was willing to give Zang Hong a chance, and even more needed to reach a deal with Zang Hong and the five thousand soldiers who actually went on a hunger strike.

Let Zang Hong go and let the five thousand soldiers who were on hunger strike survive.

Zhang Xiu arranged a manpower to arrange a meeting for Zang Hong and the five thousand soldiers who were on a hunger strike. Then he moved to the study to meet Fa Zheng, Sima Yi, and Cai Mao.

"Send people to the north and let Gao Shun and Fan Chou go south to meet me."

"Let Hu Zhen and Zhang Yan select Zang Hong's subordinates to submissive surrendered soldiers and supplement their troops. The remaining surrendered soldiers, especially the five thousand surrendered soldiers who went on hunger strike, let the Shangshutai arrange people to migrate them to Liangzhou."

Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Cai Mao.

"No." Cai Mao probably already knew what happened. Although he had some opinions on Zhang Xiu's handling, he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhang Xiu exhaled, put his hand on his knees, and showed a bright smile on his face. Fa Zheng said to Sima Yi: "Now Xianggao has been broken by me. This city can protect me's food route. I have no longer any scruples. What do you think, Wen Chou, Guo Tu, and Cao Cao would do?"

"If I were Cao Cao and the other two, it would be the best way to go." Fa Zheng pinched his chin, then stretched out his hand to knock on the table in front of him, looked up at Zhang Xiu and said, "Their 150,000 troops were guarding Jinyang and Shangdang. The terrain of Bingzhou is complicated, and we have the ability to cut off their retreat and trap them in Bingzhou."

Sima Yi nodded slightly and said nothing.

Zhang Xiu glanced at Sima Yi. The last incident had some impact. This guy was much taciturn.

"That's right. It's best to go." Zhang Xiu nodded and stood up suddenly. His face was full of passion and said, "Pang De broke through Yanmen, and I broke through Xianggao. Bingzhou is my own. If Cao Cao dared to stay in Bingzhou, he would eat him."

"However, I think there will be a battle." At the end of the day, Zhang Xiu changed his mind.

"Please tell me your Majesty." Fa Zheng was a little strange, adjusted his sitting posture and asked with his hands. A gleam in Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he also showed a serious look.

"Wen Chou, Guo Tu holds a 100,000 army. Can Wen Chou be willing to do so? I expected that he would send troops to fight Xu Huang to the death before his army arrived in Shangdang. If Xu Huang could severely inflict Wen Chou or even kill Wen Chou, then it would be much easier for Jizhou to come."

Zhang Xiu sat back, pinched his knees with both hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

Fa Zheng and Sima Yi nodded slightly. Wen Chou could really do such a thing.

............

The east gate of Xianggao City was opened. Zang Hong and more than ten cavalry under his command brought enough dry food, left the city gate and headed east.

While Zang Hong rode his horse, he looked back at Xianggao City and showed a look of shame.

"Zhang Xiu, I will definitely avenge my previous shame. You will definitely regret letting me go."

"General. What should we do now? Should we go back to Jizhou immediately and apologize to the general?" asked a follower.

"No. Let's go to Shangdang. First meet with Wen Chou. On the one hand, tell Wen Chou that Xiang Gao has lost. On the other hand, I want to help a little."

Zang Hong shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"No." The followers responded without any doubts.

The group headed eastward and walked towards Shangdang. Of course, they encountered some trouble on the road, and there were roads controlled by Liang Jun in front.

However, they had the Zhang Xiu edict, and successfully passed the area controlled by the Liang army and entered Shangdang City.

General’s Mansion, in the study.

Wen Chou and Guo Tu were talking, and a personal soldier hurriedly walked in from outside, reporting with a sweaty look on his face: "Report to General Zang, General Zang asks for a meeting."

"General Zang? Which General Zang?" Wen Chou was stunned. Guo Tu was shocked, and suddenly stood up and said, "Is it Zang Hong?"
