Zhang Xiu, who was now sharpening his skills at the front, was completely unaware of the significant events that had recently occurred in his family. His mind was still focused on how to show his worth.
Whether it was his uncle Zhang Ji's instructions before his passing or the matters told by Zhong Yao, they made Zhang Xiu understand that to remain steadily in Cao Cao's faction, he needed to demonstrate his value!
Zhang Xiu, who originally thought he was one of the top valiant generals in the world, had been completely awakened by Dian Wei's headbutt. As his uncle said, the Central Plains are the essence of the world; perhaps he really isn't that significant.
