Zhang Liao and Yang Xiu went out to find Cao Cao on a mission. Cao Xiu's Leopard Camp guards were also near the Chinese army's tent.
When Cao Ren knew that Yang Xiu had slipped away midway and did not come back to him to hand over, he frowned and said to himself: "What does Yang Dezu mean? We should come back and tell him whether he succeeds or not."
Sima Yi thought that Yang Xiu might have succeeded, so he comforted Cao Ren: "General, don't think too much. Chief Yang has been in for a long time. He should have succeeded by leaving now. Maybe he can deal with the filth now."
"Yang Dezu is quite courageous." Cao Ren frowned coldly, and then told Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, let the people from Leopard Camp follow carefully and take a look, and report immediately if there is any situation."
"Wei." Cao Xiu clasped his fists and left.
"What should I do if Dezu is contaminated with filth?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked.
No one answered after listening. No one was willing to sacrifice their lives for Yang Xiu. Jiang Ji suddenly frowned and analyzed: "Dezu once said that if you have enough yang energy, you will not be afraid of evil spirits. Maybe he has a way to resolve it?"
Jiang Ji's words were once again silenced. Even a hero like Cao Cao couldn't bear it. How could Yang Xiu, a sour scholar, resist?
After a while, Cao Xiu brought back the news. After Yang Xiu returned to the camp, the candle flame was not extinguished, and the shadow of the book inside was imprinted on the tent. Everyone in the tent was shocked after hearing this. They did not expect that Yang Xiu was so brave.
"Yang Dezu didn't know what he could do. What could he do?" Cao Ren asked.
Sima Yi said: "Why don't we wait and see for now and see how the king is doing tomorrow?"
"We have no choice but to do this, Wen Lie, send someone to guard Yang Xiu's tent and don't let him leave even half a step. The rest should disperse." Cao Ren saw that the night was already deep and it was really inappropriate to leave everyone here.
"Wei." Everyone left one after another.
Yang Xiu experienced the same pain as Cao Cao. The difference is that Cao Cao substituted himself as the unscrupulous Taoist, while Yang Xiu substituted himself as the protagonist, because he and Yang Guo not only had the same surname, but also had relatively similar experiences.
Yang Xiu looked more carefully than Cao Cao. He unexpectedly discovered that there were two words at the end of the first six chapters that were different from the end of the seventh chapter. The words "predict what will happen next, and listen to the breakdown in the next chapter" in the first six chapters were replaced by "want to know" Let's wait and see what happens in the next life. '
The next life is completely different from the next life. What is Lantian's intention? Not only did Yang Xiu read the book in private, he didn't even let go of the letter. He finally understood why Cao Cao kept talking about Lantian. It turned out that he wanted to understand the development of the plot.
Yang Xiu continued to flip through the pages looking for clues, and finally found the real problem with the book, the twelve prophecies that troubled Cao Cao.
Legend has it that many traitors will die, the elder brother forced his younger brother Cao Zhi to compose poems, Cao Pi deposed the emperor and usurped Yan Liu...
The first three items made Yang Xiu feel cold. The king really passed the throne to Cao Pi, and Cao Pi also overcame his father's obstacles to depose the emperor and usurp the Han Dynasty. But "brother forcing brother Cao Zhi to write poems" is really an allusion to Cao Pi's fratricide?
Yang Xiu was disturbed by the prophecy and stayed up all night. The next morning he was awakened by the patter of rain. He was about to walk out of the tent with two panda eyes, but was stopped by the Leopard Camp guards.
"You dare to restrain my feet? Who gave you the courage?" Yang Xiu asked sharply.
The Leopard Camp guard had an expressionless face: "Under the strict orders of General Cao, we will be guarding here all night. Please wait, sir. I believe there will be news soon."
Yang Xiu's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered that he had not reported to Cao Ren yet, but the content in the book was incredible, and it mentioned Cao Pi, Cao Xiu, Sima Yi and others. Once this secret was spread, wouldn't the king skin him alive?
what to do? Yang Xiu quickly used his brain.
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, which made Yang Xiu shiver. He rubbed his hands and thought, "I'm just waiting here. I'm too weak to bear the cold. Can you prepare a charcoal basin for me?"
"Charcoal basin? No problem. I'll ask someone to prepare it." The guard nodded in agreement.
It's rainy, cold and windy today. Because the soldiers' clothes are thin, they often burn firewood in their tents to keep warm.
There is nothing wrong with Yang Xiu's request, but he did not ask for the charcoal pot to warm the fire, but intended to directly burn the book and letter. All twelve prophecies had been written down, and the secret could no longer be spread.
After a while, the guard brought a charcoal basin, and Yang Xiu took out the letter and burned it without thinking. This was not the first time he had done this. He had burned Meng De's New Book and The Legend of the Condor Heroes before, and Cao Cao did not make things difficult for him back then.
Cao Cao was drunk last night and slept very peacefully. When he woke up, it was already bright.
"Is it Wen Yuan?" Cao Cao sat up and saw a man lying next to the case.
"Ah? Your Majesty? Why am I here?" Zhang Liao had actually woken up with Cao Cao earlier. He deliberately pretended to be awakened by the other party, mainly to express that he was very drunk last night.
"It seems that Wen Yuan drank a lot and even forgot what happened last night." Cao Cao said with a slight smile.
Zhang Liao knocked on his forehead and replied with a hint of embarrassment: "I remember, I'm really too drunk..."
"I remember that you have always had a good drinking capacity, why did you drink so much?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"The general is stationed in Hefei because he has troubles. He doesn't drink regularly. His drinking capacity is probably wasted..." Zhang Liao shook his head and explained.
"Wenyuan worked hard guarding the border." Cao Cao nodded happily. Suddenly he heard the sound of rain outside the curtain, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "It's raining today? How can I capture Lan Tian?"
Zhang Liao got up and walked quickly to the door. He saw that the sky was gray and although it was raining, it was not heavy. Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Sima Yi and others were waiting for news from the opposite account. Zhang Liao quickly nodded and winked to everyone.
"The rain outside is not heavy. Based on the general's experience watching the clouds in Huainan, the rain should stop in the afternoon. It will not be too late for the king to send troops in the afternoon." Zhang Liao answered with cupped fists.
Cao Cao nodded in affirmation, and Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others filed in. Seeing that Cao Cao was in good spirits, they all felt that they had done a good job last night.
"Your Majesty." Everyone saluted in unison.
Cao Cao waved his hand gently: "Find a place to sit by yourself. Wen Yuan concluded that the rain will stop in the afternoon, so we can make arrangements for the afternoon operations."
He is back, the decisive and decisive lord is back.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering if this matter would really bring about immediate results?
Based on Guan Yu's formations in the past two days, Cao Cao made targeted arrangements on how to break the suppression, but just after he said a few words, his stomach suddenly growled.
When he woke up and hadn't had breakfast yet, Cao Cao's internal organs were crying out for hunger. He smiled and touched his stomach and said, "Have you had breakfast? I haven't eaten well in a few days, so I'd better eat something first, and then Let’s discuss it with you again..."
"Have eaten..." Everyone replied with smiles, saying in their hearts that once the king's filth was gone, even their appetites were restored.
Cao Cao patted his abdomen and suddenly his expression changed. He found that the book in the middle of the robe seemed to be missing. Cao Cao patted his chest continuously, but there was no feeling of foreign objects at all. He reached into the lining and couldn't find it.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking for?" Cao Ren asked knowingly.
