Cao Cao frowned and stood up, then shouted outside the tent: "Where is Xu Chu?"
"Your Majesty, are you calling me?" Xu Chu walked in quickly after hearing the sound.
"After Gu fell asleep last night, did anyone else come in?" Cao Cao asked coldly.
Xu Chu shook his head and replied: "The general will stay outside the tent all night, and no outsiders will come in and disturb..."
Cao Cao rubbed the solar system, and suddenly his tiger body trembled, and he asked doubtfully: "Last night, I vaguely remember someone pouring wine for Gu. That figure seems to be similar to Zhong Kang?"
Xu Chu nodded: "Last night the king was drunk and shouted, and then the general went into the account to pour wine for you..."
"I always feel that there is something wrong..." Cao Cao was very drunk last night. He only remembered that there was a sommelier next to him, and the scene in his memory was frozen in the last moment.
Everyone in the hall was secretly shocked. That 'dirty book' was so powerful that even Yang Xiu could escape from his shell?
Xu Chu murmured: "Your Majesty, don't you remember? Master Yang and General Zhang drank with you last night, Master Yang was too drunk and left halfway..."
Cao Cao looked stern, feeling that something was wrong. It turned out that Yang Xiu had also been here. Could it be that the letter was stolen by him?
"Go and summon Dezu for me." Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and ordered.
Xu Chu was about to clasp his fists in response when Cao Xiu suddenly stumbled to the center. He quickly said: "General Xu, wait a minute. I'm about to go on a tour of the camp. I can bring Master Yang back by the way."
"Since you want to go, then patrol the camp later and call Dezu quickly."
"only."
Cao Cao knew that Cao Xiu had always been steady and didn't know why he was so rash just now, but he was eager to retrieve the letter from Lan Tian, so he didn't dig deeper into the reason. In fact, he secretly pushed Cao Xiu out for Cao Ren.
Cao Xiu clasped his fists and left the Chinese army. He walked quickly towards Yang Xiu's camp in the light rain. Cao Ren's intention of pushing him out was obvious, that is, he tried to tell Yang Xiu not to talk nonsense. So many people conspired to form a clique for Cao Cao, but he didn't know How Yang Xiu was affected by 'dirty'.
Cao Xiu came to Yang Xiu's tent and saw him sitting by the charcoal basin to keep warm. He smiled and greeted him, "Sir, you feel so comfortable."
"Wen Lie, what do you mean? Why did the people in Leopard Camp ban me?" Yang Xiu asked angrily.
Cao Xiu saw that Yang Xiu's expression was as usual, so he put aside his question and said, "Where is the 'filth'?"
"What 'filth'? I don't even know what you are talking about."
Yang Xiu just thought about it for a long time. He realized that he was in trouble because he shouldn't know those secrets. If he admitted that he had taken the books, it would be difficult for King Wei to say that he would not kill anyone and silence them, so he could only deny it.
"Sir, say it again?" Cao Xiu was very surprised.
"Is everything okay in the Wen Lie camp? Why are you joking with me early in the morning? It's really inexplicable." Yang Xiu winked at Cao Xiu, meaning you should be smart. If you want to solve this problem, you have to pretend to be stupid, otherwise when the time comes It's hard for everyone.
When Cao Xiu saw this, he immediately understood. Regardless of whether Yang Xiu was affected or not, he lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, sir, please go quickly. It may be related to the drinking last night..."
"Let's go." Yang Xiu waved his sleeves.
Following Cao Xiu to the central army, Yang Xiu calmly saluted Cao Cao, "It's raining lightly outside today. It seems that we can't start a battle. Why did the king call me?"
"Dezu poured wine for Gu last night, but did he see my personal letter?" Cao Cao asked straight to the point.
Yang Xiuzhi shook his head: "I've never seen it."
Cao Cao frowned and said meaningfully: "There are military secrets in that letter. Now that the matter is serious, think about it again. You and Wen Yuan were the only two people in the tent last night..."
"I have indeed never seen it. I was very drunk last night. I went back early to rest. General Xu can testify for me." Yang Xiuyi answered righteously.
Xu Chuding didn't answer where he was, saying to himself that I did see you leaving first, but I don't know if you took away the king's things.
Seeing that Xu Chu was indifferent, Yang Xiu immediately swore and added: "If there is any deception in my humble position, I am willing to die by the sword."
In that era, an oath was a powerful guarantee. Cao Cao's doubts about Yang Xiu suddenly reduced by half, and then he turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao with empty eyes.
"Wenyuan, why don't you think about it carefully?"
Zhang Liao swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, "What kind of oath can you make?" What if it really works? You have a rich and powerful backing, but I don't.
"The general is really drunk...and he didn't leave all night..." Zhang Liao looked a little flustered.
Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, Cao Cao became even more confused and snorted: "There were only three of us in the military tent last night. Since you didn't see it, could it be that it got buried in the ground?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xu Chu pledged his life. No one came in last night. I carried you to the bed in the end. If the letter is really buried in the ground, I will immediately lead people to dig three feet into the ground." Xu Chu clasped his fists sonorously.
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop him, but stared straight at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was so shocked that he did not dare to tell Cao Cao what had happened, because the conspirators were clan generals, nobles and civil servants. If they all confessed, it would be a clique for personal gain. At the end of the day, he would be dismissed from office like Cheng Yu, or at worst, he might implicate the rear. Even if Cao Cao forgives them, Cao Ren, Sima Yi and others may still hate them.
Thinking of Yang Xiu's pledge, Zhang Liao felt that this guy was a bit shameless. This pressure was transmitted inexplicably. After a short period of reflection, he made a bold move, which was to pretend that everyone was taking off their clothes in the tent, and stripped naked in a few seconds. Yes, the unevenly distributed scars on his body represent his glory when he was in battle.
"Your Majesty, this is the only way Zhang Liao can prove his innocence. You can also send people to search my camp." Zhang Liao answered frankly.
Cao Cao was quite surprised when he saw it. He trotted over barefoot and changed Zhang Liao's clothes himself. "The weather is cold, why should Wen Yuan be like this? Most of the injuries on your body should be left by the orphans. How can you not believe it? Put on your clothes quickly." Watch out for the cold wind."
Zhang Liao's extreme operation blinded everyone's eyes. This move not only relieved his own doubts, but also moved Cao Cao and made these people feel ashamed.
Yang Xiu saw that Zhang Liao had cleverly saved the day. He was worried about the Yang family's face and did not dare to take off his clothes to testify in public, so he said to Xu Chu: "Now that General Zhang has started, I will ask General Xu to search my body and check the barracks later. I can't favor one against another." Bar?"
Xu Chu didn't dare to search Yang Xiu at first, but when he saw Cao Cao's eyes looking over, he immediately understood. He raised his rough hands and carefully groped around Yang Xiu's clothes, and finally shook his head gently to the north.
"If you can't find it, let's forget it. I just happened to take advantage of the rain to talk about tactics." When Cao Cao waved his hand, he took the opportunity to lightly nod to Xu Chu. The other party understood and retreated outside the tent.
Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others just saw Zhang Liao and Yang Xiu show off their acting skills, and they thought to themselves that you are really masters in this way. You even deceived the King of Wei. This should be the end of the matter, right?
The tense atmosphere in the Chinese military tent gradually subsided, and Cao Cao calmed down to discuss the war with his generals. After a while, Xu Chu returned, followed by two tiger guards, carrying a charcoal basin in their hands.
