Xin Pi's explanation, true and false, false and true, according to what he said, Yecheng at this moment has been occupied by his brothers who were ordered by Prime Minister Cao.
The generals who were drinking with Cao Zhen at the scene were all loyalists who fought against the enemy and helped Cao in this battle at Yecheng. Now that Yuan Xi is dead, the situation in Yecheng has been decided. All they have to do is wait for Prime Minister Cao's troops to attack them from both sides and defeat them in one fell swoop. If Yuan's army captures Liyang, the general situation in Hebei can be stabilized, and all the land in the four states can be returned to Cao Cao!
Cao Zhen was in prison, and now after listening to Xin Pi's wild lies, he felt as if he had jumped from hell to heaven. He was about to explode with happiness.
"Mr. Xin and brother Ling helped my father to capture the city of Ye, established the foundation of Hebei, and rescued me, Cao Zhen, from prison. This kindness and virtue are deeply remembered, and we dare not forget each other day and night... It's just that I wonder where your brother Xin Ping is now? I really want to thank him in person and hope Mr. I want to thank Xin Ping in person.
The problem is that Xin Ping is dead a long time ago. Where can Xin Pi go to dig him up? That would be weird if you don’t wear a gang!
However, Yuan Xi, Zhang Hong and others had already anticipated this matter and had already informed Xin Pi.
But seeing that Xin Pi didn't panic at all when he heard this, he was calm and composed. He patted the table and sighed sadly: "General Cao doesn't know something. Although Yecheng has been captured, there are many old officials in the nearby counties and counties who support the Yuan family. Hebei Zhongliang is at its peak, and they have organized troops and horses in various counties and counties in Jizhou, intending to counterattack. As a last resort, my brother has gathered all the elites in Yecheng to resist. Now the outcome is not yet known, but it is worrying."
When Cao Zhen heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly thought that Yecheng was only temporarily controlled by the Xin brothers, and the outcome was not yet known.
The final ownership of Ye City is still up for debate. It is indeed a dangerous place, and we have to find a way to get back.
Cao Zhenjiu was imprisoned in the dungeon of Yecheng. At this moment, his heart felt like returning. Even though Yecheng was safe, he was not familiar with Xinpi and others after all, and wanted to join Cao Ying as soon as possible.
Not to mention that Yecheng is now full of crises and is full of danger. If one of them fails, he might have to be taken back to the dungeon and imprisoned properly.
You can't stay here for long! This is the truest thought in Cao Zhen’s mind right now! It is said that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall!
Cao Zhengang wanted to use an excuse to see if he could return to Cao's camp.
But suddenly he heard Xin Pi smiling and saying to him: "General Cao, I have an idea. I wonder if the general can agree to it. The general is a rising general of the Cao family and the adopted son of Prime Minister Cao. He has a prominent status. If I am willing to preside over the overall situation here and appease people. Maybe it will deter those who rebel against Prime Minister Cao and have miraculous effects... I think General Cao might as well stay in Yecheng. Xin and his brother are willing to use the whole Yecheng The military and political power of the city are all entrusted to each other. I hope the general will put the overall situation first and never refuse!"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but cry secretly in his heart!
What the hell? I just wanted to use my son to escape from this place of right and wrong, and Xinpi wanted to leave me to take charge of the overall situation? Isn't this nonsense? Cao Zhen really didn't want to stay in Yecheng, a place of right and wrong for a moment longer.
No, you absolutely can't stay, you have to leave quickly... you have to! Cao Zhen secretly made up his mind.
"Mr. Xin, Your Majesty's kindness, Cao is here to accept it on behalf of his adoptive father. However, Cao Zhen is young and has little knowledge. I'm afraid he won't be able to convince everyone. Besides, I am from Cao's camp and I stay here to lead the old troops in Hebei. It’s a bit inappropriate with both emotion and reason…”
Xin Pi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and explained: "General Cao can rest assured about this. Anyone in Ye City who dares to disobey General Cao will be in trouble with my Xin brothers!"
Cao Zhen scratched his head and said with a sad face: "It's not that. But..."
"What?" Xinpi said threateningly, but his words remained the same.
The thoughts in Cao Zhen's mind turned over and over in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
"This is... this is... this is the problem of no one reporting to my adoptive father for us in Yecheng! We have to have someone close to report the message!" Cao Zhen thought hard, finally caught the topic, and hurriedly smoothed things over.
Xin Pi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that Cao Zhen's reaction was not too slow. If he really couldn't figure this out, the plan would really not be implemented.
Ideas are ideas, but the expression on Xinpi's face still seems unclear.
"What does reporting mean? I hope General Cao can explain it in detail!"
Cao Zhen coughed lightly, and then said slowly and seriously: "Although Mr. Xin has promised to be loyal to my adoptive father, he doesn't know him well yet. Although my adoptive father is a great man and is known as an unparalleled tycoon, but on weekdays, There will be more or less paranoia. Although Yecheng has been captured now, based on my adoptive father's character, he may not be able to believe it. If we really wait to get the exact news, I am afraid that the opportunity to fight will be delayed again. You have to have confidants running around to tell you...'
Xin Pi was astonished when he heard the words and said: "I see, the confidant you mentioned must be you."
Cao Zhen heard this and said hurriedly: "I am the adopted son of Prime Minister Cao. I think he still has some weight and credibility in the adoptive father's heart! At this time, in the whole Ye City, I can say that it is really appropriate!"
After hearing this, Xin Pi touched his beard, frowned and pretended to think for a while, and suddenly said to everyone present: "What do you think, sir?"
Among the generals, someone stood up and said: "What General Cao said is very reasonable. If the Prime Minister doesn't act quickly, it will be useless for us to capture Yecheng. We should ask him to rush to the Liyang barracks as soon as possible to ventilate the situation for Prime Minister Cao." Reporting the news is the best policy!”
Xin Pi thought carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, as General Cao said, I will send a troop of troops tonight to escort the general out of the city quickly, and also ask the general to rush back to Liyang. Inform the Prime Minister and ask him to pay careful attention to the developments in Yecheng!"
"Mr. Xin, don't worry, Cao Zhen will definitely not disgrace his mission!" After hearing Xin Pi's words, Cao Zhen finally felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief.
I can finally leave this hellish place called Yecheng!
The General's Mansion. inner house
"Second brother, why are you dazed!" Yu Youwei's delicate body came over. "Are you in a daze, have something on your mind?"
Yuan Xi said after plastic surgery, "Oh, that's not true! These are troubled times, I hope everything goes well!"
Yu Youwei sat down next to Yuan Xi and chuckled, "Yes, Xuanji believes in second brother's ability, and everything will go smoothly!"
Yu Youwei is actually an innocent woman. Yuan Xi loves to joke and guess riddles with her. I feel that she is much happier with me than with Yuan Shang, which can be seen from her smile. Of course Yuan Xi thinks so.
A section of Yu Youwei's forearms exuding lust were exposed from the cuffs, she straightened the ends of her hair, and said shyly: "Second brother, I also want a child. Having a child will make me more like a woman. I will feel more secure, what do you think?"
Emperor Xuanwu of Taizong, Yuan Xi, was also a scumbag. Before his brother Yuan Shang was completely dead, he couldn't wait to hook up with his sister-in-law. Of course, Yu Youwei was not a loyal and loyal woman.
"Promise, but you just said that I have something on my mind, but it's actually you who has something on your mind, right?" Yuan Xi asked softly.
Yu Youwei sat elegantly next to Yuan Xi and whispered: "No, second brother is worrying too much."
Yuan Xi shook his head and sighed: "Just by looking at your eyes, I can tell that you are missing him, right? You are a person who can't hide secrets. How could I not see it?!"
Yuan Xi's tone was as slow as possible so that she would not have any misunderstanding.
Yu Youwei suddenly felt sad: "Second brother - you - don't get me wrong, he and I have severed all ties - I just can't help but miss him -"
The twisted melon is not sweet!
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to go back to find him?"
Yu Youwei's tightly biting lips suddenly let go, and she burst into tears: "Second brother, I feel so uncomfortable. I can't live without you, and I can't forget him. I can't help you -"
Yuan Xi said in his heart, the secret is that I can't help you.
Yuan Xi opened his arms like a child who had been wronged.
Yu Youwei's face turned pale, her tears flowed endlessly, her whole body kept shaking, and she threw herself into Yuan Xi's arms like a running deer.
Yuan Xi only had infinite pity for her in her heart. Kiss, love and affection. On the collapse, all the clothes were gone, my arms were full of tenderness, and I was having sex happily and crying--
Countless sweet words were whispered between the bed and the floor.
Yu Youwei felt infinitely tired during the last spray. She felt that the peace was a willing and endless aftertaste. There was no trace of reluctance and grievance. On the contrary, she enjoyed it.
The mystery that has long troubled my heart has been solved. I gritted my teeth and thought, I am really attached to this man in my arms!
It was only at this moment that Yuan Xi felt that Yu Youwei's heart had truly transferred from Yuan Shang to himself.
***************************
That night, Cao Zhen, accompanied by Guo Tu, led a troop of troops and horses to quickly leave Yecheng and head towards Liyang in the south.
On the way out of Yecheng, wherever Cao Zhen passed, he saw Cao Jun flags erected everywhere in Yecheng.
Soldiers and horses everywhere also regarded themselves as the Henan Army, but they completely surrendered to the Cao family.
Cao Zhen immediately felt relieved, and under the leadership of Guo Tu, he led his troops and horses quickly towards the south.
Under the banner with the word "Cao" in Yecheng, Yuan Xi, accompanied by Xin Pi, looked at Cao Zhen who was gradually going away, with bright sparks popping out of his eyes.
"Xinpi, you did a good job!" Yuan Xi turned to encourage Xinpi and said, "Cao Zhen is not suspicious, is he?"
When Xin Pi heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is fine! When Cao Zhen came out of the prison, even though it was daytime and there were many people on the road, his flaws were easily exposed, but in order to protect his eyes, he kept them wrapped with a cloth. There is no flaw in his eyes. Now that he is traveling at night, a curfew has been issued in the city! There is no one on the road. All the illusions are based on the arrangements of our army. Even the young people like him cannot see Ziwu Mao. unitary."
Yuan Xi smiled when he heard this and said: "Well done, Xinpi, you have lived up to my expectations of you. I will definitely use you again in the future!"
Xin Pi heard this and smiled all over his face: "Lord, Pi doesn't dare to take credit."
"My lord, Cao Zhen has been deceived by us, but what else is planned next?"
Yuan Xi smiled when he heard this and said: "Sima Yi, Ju Shu and others will have full authority to handle the remaining matters, so you don't have to worry too much!"
*****************************
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
But Cao Zhen and Guo Tu led their troops to run from Yecheng. They were speechless all the way and just kept rushing towards Liyang.
There was no sound along the way, just marching at a fast pace, covering more than seventy miles a day, and the running efficiency was quite impressive.
Two days later, the two led the crowd to the border of Liyang. They were drinking water and resting when a scout came to report that there was a soldier and horse in front of them, heading towards Yecheng.
So Cao Zhen, Guo Tu and others hid and hurriedly hurried. Cao Zhen finally returned to Cao Ying with the support of Guo Tu. Guo Tu decided to go back because the affairs in Yecheng were unstable and he needed to lurk back to help Xin Ping. He resigned and left Cao Zhen behind to meet Cao Cao.
After seeing the two captured generals, Cao Cao couldn't help being a little stunned, and hurriedly summoned the two of them into the tent.
When Cao Cao and Cao Zhen's father and son met, they naturally couldn't help but cry and reminisce. Later, Cao Zhen told Cao Cao intermittently what he had seen and heard during this period, and asked him to attack the Liyang military camp as soon as possible for a grand plan. .
Cao Cao met Cao Zhen and his son, and after crying with emotion, Cao Zhen told what he saw and heard in Yecheng, including Tian Feng being captured, the Xin brothers captured Yecheng, Yuan Xi died, and Yecheng was surrounded by various states and counties. Determined, good luck, good luck, failure to take the blame, etc., all of them were described like Cao Cao, and then he called in the secret agent and asked him to describe all the abnormalities he observed Yuan Jun in the Liyang camp. Such trends.
After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he saw that the people in the tent were either lowering their heads in deep thought or raising their eyebrows to the sky, especially the counselors Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Dong Zhao, who were thinking about the authenticity and feasibility of this matter.
Cao Cao was also full of hesitation and suspicion. Although he guessed that Xin Ping's rebellion against Yuan Xi was a big plan formulated by his side Guo Jia, and his side had great hopes for the success of this matter, when the facts turned out to be right in front of him. At this time, the hearts of the wise men of Cao Jun, led by Cao Cao, began to beat drums non-stop.
The black figure swayed back and forth in the camp several times, but Cao Cao was seen tapping the table gently, and said with confusion on his face: "Xin Ping succeeded in capturing Yecheng, Yuan Xi returned to rescue Yecheng, and Zidan was released. ,...Everything shows that something happened in Jizhou, but in Gu's heart, why does it feel so inappropriate...?"
When he finished speaking, he saw Xun You cupping his hands and saying, "To be honest, my lord, Xun You also received a letter from Xin Ping in the camp early this morning. The content in it is very detailed and consistent with what General Zi Dan said." , but there is quite a bit of room for credibility.”
Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this, without comment.
Dong Zhao also spoke up and said: "Your lord, since today, although Yuan Mai, Ju Shou, Zhang He and others in Liyang have still sent troops to fight against each other to attack the camp, the frequency has gradually increased, but the momentum is obviously huge. It's not as good as before, with a bit of bluff, pretending to retreat, and then coming back a short time later. I suspect that there has been trouble in the Liyang camp. Jushou and others are just trying to deceive others, deliberately increasing the number of calls for formation, and trying to retreat but failing. There is no way out, I'm afraid it's the moment of dilemma."
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and suddenly smiled and said: "Even so, the doubts in Gu Nai Gu's heart still cannot be eliminated. What can I do?"
This time, the person who answered Cao Cao was none other than Cheng Yu. But when he saw this, he tugged his beard fiercely and said with a sneer: "If my lord is worried, why not send troops to attack Yuan Jun's Liyang camp and see what happens?" Formation, watch the camp, try it out to see what happens?"
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this and said: "Good!"
****************
Outside Liyang City, Yuan Jun camped.
At this moment, all Yuan's troops, under the command of their commander Yuan Mai, were packing their baggage and packing their luggage. The three armies were vast and had great intentions of withdrawing their troops and returning.
It happened that Sima Yi came back from Gaorou's camp to discuss military affairs. At this time, Sima Yi had already rushed back to Liyang from Yecheng through the starry night. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help being frightened, and hurried to the commander's tent to see Yuan Mai.
"Sima Yi, my subordinate, please see the Fifth Young Master!"
Yuan Mai suddenly flashed his eyes, saw Sima Yi, and said in a sullen voice: "It turns out to be Mr. Sima. If you are not assisting your cousin in the Bingzhou military camp, why did you come back to Liyang?"
Sima Yi was not tactful when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "Fifth Young Master, when our lord left the camp, didn't we all discuss it? If we want to lure Cao Cao into taking the bait, we must prepare for a deadly battle and win the battle to the death. The defeat led Cao Cao's army to take the bait. Now that Cao Cao has not come to attack, you have ordered the three armies to retreat. Isn't this a clear violation of the military order when the lord left? If there is a change in it and the plan cannot be implemented, wouldn't something big happen!?"
When Yuan Mai heard this, he sighed and said: "It is possible to lure Cao Cao into taking the bait by defeating the enemy in a desperate situation, but it is a trick to injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred. The lives of our Hebei soldiers are so precious, and We can’t lose anything in this kind of thing. I think it’s better to lure Cao Cao into taking the bait by retreating! The result will be the same!”
Sima Yi stamped his feet and said angrily: "Fifth Young Master, what you said is different. Although we are pretending that Ye City was defeated and the lord was ambushed and killed, there are many wise men in our army who are fighting against Cao Cao. If it is so easy, Retreating, in terms of the art of war, how can it not be easily ambushed? Who is Cao Cao? Can't you even see this shortcoming! I'm afraid that by then, you will definitely miss something big!"
Yuan Mai thought for a while after hearing this, then nodded deeply and said: "Mr. Sima, what you said does make some sense!"
Sima Yi felt relieved when he heard this, but Yuan Buyi's words almost made him vomit blood in anger.
"But I can't listen to you, please forgive me!"
Sima Yi jumped up on the spot, angrily three feet high from the ground, and said angrily: "Fifth Young Master, what I said makes sense, but you still don't listen to me? Then who do you want to listen to? Ah!"
When he finished speaking, he saw a man laughing and walking into the tent from outside the tent. He coughed heavily at Sima Yi and said, "Don't blame Zhongda. It's normal for him not to listen to you! Because he wants to listen." It belongs to me!”
Seeing Jushu come in, accompanied by Jia Xu and Guo Jia, a smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Mai's face.
"Is it you?" Sima Yi said in surprise: "Did you give the Fifth Young Master this bad idea?"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said calmly without being annoyed: "How brave! You are so young and you dare to make such nonsense again. You also dare to call Mr. Ju's plan a bad idea! "
Looking at Sima Yi who was a little confused, Ju Shuohao smiled brightly and said: "Don't worry! Although the original trick was defeated by seeking death, our trick of playing hard to get is also quite effective, you junior Please wait a moment and watch me defeat the enemy!"
Sima Yi: “…………”
