took the secret letter and warned the prince, and the distrustful prime minister was suspicious

.

The weather was not warm on this day, Zhu Ling was happy, and followed from the people to the lotus where Qi Han was. As soon as they met, they saluted respectfully, and smiled with a spring breeze on their faces: "The prince heard about it, and the prime minister ordered me and Liu Bei, the general of the left, to lead the troops to Qingzhou to attack Yuan Shu!" yao sounded, suspicious "waist")

Qi Han couldn't help but shake his head when he saw him, and raised his hand to order him to sit down.

Zhu Ling's two big black eyes were shining, and he sat cross-legged with a golden knife, bowed down to take the tea cup handed by Qi Han, and gulped down the cow drink.

Qi Han's eyes moved lightly, and he was just about to remind him, but Zhu Ling had already grunted, and swallowed the hot tea soup that had just been cooked, and spit out his red tongue so hot that he let out a long "hiss", and praised with a bitter face: "Hmm...... Okay, good soup. The words fell, but he lifted the clay pot full of cold water on the desk and poured it violently.

Qi Han was amused by him, and he didn't think he was angry. This Zhu Ling has a straightforward temperament, takes care of his illness all the way, and is conscientious. Since returning to Beijing, he has sent people to reward him many times, and after several friendships, Zhu Ling's friendship with him has become stronger and stronger, as if he has regarded himself as his subordinate.

"Do you know why I summoned you today?"

Zhu Ling was puzzled and shook his head, but he was not stupid, and immediately said: "If the prince has any orders, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The current situation of the eldest prince is rumored to be rumored outside, and Zhu Ling has not heard of it. But the prince treats him well, and he feels that he should be loyal to him.

"I heard that my father promoted you to be the captain of Kou, and you ordered troops to enter the account, and everything went smoothly, right?" In the midst of the chatter, Qi Han got up leisurely and looked around quietly.

Zhu Ling was originally a young general under Yuan Shao's account, and he was only a little more than a month old when he first arrived. He still doesn't know much about the doorways and rules in Cao Cao's army, and he needs to communicate and learn from people everywhere, so Qi Han's question is not abrupt.

Zhu Ling nodded and said: "Don't worry, the prime minister is afraid that I am not familiar with military affairs, so he specially sent the deputy general Lu Zhao to assist me." That kid is proficient in military affairs, slick and clever, and has already taken care of everything in order! Everything is ready now, just wait for the army to be sent tonight!"

Qi Han's heart shook slightly, his eyes swept out the window, and he saw that the guards really obeyed the order and stood at the end of the corridor from afar, so he nodded and said, "That's it, very good." ”

"That's right," Zhu Ling was soft-spoken in the army, and the newly promoted fourth-rank lieutenant, very few people intersected with him, and it was rare to see Shizi today, so he opened the conversation, "Shizi, you have also gone on expeditions with the army, you should know how difficult it is to march and fight." How many soldiers and horses to command, how many archers, how many infantry, how much cavalry, how much grain and grass to carry, how to escort them, how to ensure the diet of the horses, where to set up camp, whether to choose Shanyin or Shanyang, how much time to set up military tents for soldiers to stay, and choose a location to avoid wind and rain, but also to be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy...... It is also necessary to solve the problem of drinking water for so many people, or to cook in the pot, or to distribute dry food, so as to ensure that everyone has food...... One by one, no matter how big or small, it makes the scalp tingle. Thanks to the ability of the deputy general, and the geographical map of the counties and counties of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, I have already selected the place to settle down, otherwise, with my recklessness, I am afraid that I am really not qualified to come here to ask for the captain of Kou!"

Qi Han heard his noise, so he interrupted him: "Wenbo (Zhu Ling), this time, how many people did my father send, and how many of them are in your hands?"

Zhu Lingdao: "The prime minister sent 15,000 elite soldiers, divided into three parallel roads, I, Liu Xuande, and Lu Zhao three people, each got 5,000 elites, and they set off at sunset!"

When Qi Han heard this, his brows furrowed.

戌時......

It's too late.

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are like wolves and tigers, strong in martial arts, and have been prepared in advance, so they will definitely be more vigilant in eating and marching...... If there is any change, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao will not be able to resist it. Even if he set up a clever plan for Zhu Ling at this moment, to get those three people, I am afraid that with the strength of Guan Yu and the others, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao may not be able to grasp the opportunity, deal with all changes, and take those three people by themselves.

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhu Ling's ability, but compared with Liu Guan Zhang, the difference in strength is too great.

"Let me ask you, what should you do if Liu Xuande suddenly changes his hexagram halfway, has a strange move, or proposes to leave alone with his troops?"

Zhu Ling thought that the prince was testing himself, so he raised his neck and raised his chest and said, "The last general will definitely try his best to bring it back!"

Who knows, but saw Qi Han shaking his head, with an unpredictable expression: "I called you here today for this matter." ”

Zhu Ling was stunned: "Could it be Liu Xuande......

Qi Han nodded, his eyes lit up: "Not bad." I had expected that Liu Xuande would inevitably change. And remember, whatever reason they want to leave or stay, don't force them. If he wants to take away the five thousand soldiers, you let him go, and you will send him away with a smile, pretending not to see his thoughts. Don't argue with them, or even use them in vain......"

In the three-way army, the soldiers are all under the orders of the commander, and if there is a mutiny or internal riot, Zhu Ling and others will not be able to please him. What's more, the Liu Guanzhang brothers are brave and strong, and no one can be to do it, and he will fight hard and stubbornly, which will only increase casualties.

Qi Han didn't want Zhu Ling to die on the journey, so he told him.

Zhu Ling's eyebrows were tightly entangled. I really don't understand why the son of the world should tell me this...... But he didn't want to disobey Qi Han, although he was afraid and doubtful in his heart, he still nodded in response.

"In addition, I have a private matter to entrust ......"

Qi Han looked at Zhu Ling's big eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then took out a letter from his sleeve.

"This trip to Qingzhou, the road is far away, there are many variables, you must remember to be careful in order to protect yourself. Passing through the land of Xuzhou, you want to pass through the three counties of Pengcheng, Taishan and Langya, when you return, personally go to Xiapi and help me inquire about a person, his name is Zhao Zilong......" he described in detail, "If you see him, give him this letter." ”

As he spoke, Qi Han took out another piece of paper, and drew four strange and distorted figures on it, which were the contact marks of him, Zhao Yun, Zhangba, and Kong Lian.

"You memorize their shapes, and if you can't find anyone in your head, or if you don't hear from them, you look for them at the mansion of the local gentry, and if you find them, you wait in the shadows for a day, and you may be able to contact them...... If you still find nothing," Qi Han said in a sluggish voice, pointing to the petal-shaped figure, "You will carve this pattern on the corner of the Xiapi city wall." When they see it, they will know that I have come to look for him......"

Zhu Ling was ignorant, so he had to follow what Qi Han said, and memorize these four graphics first.

After Qi Han inspected him and confirmed that he had memorized it, he moved the drawing to the lamp and candle and burned it in a flash.

The two whispered and explained, and Zhu Ling strode out of Hezhai.

Qi Han stood in front of the window, looking at his armored back, and pieces of sunlight fell on the black and red tasseled helmet, shining, as if pinning some kind of hope on him, and was leaving him. He glanced back at the guards in the corridor, and the light in his eyes gradually faded again, and his expression was inexplicably a little gloomy.

For some reason, he always had a very bad premonition......

.

In the Seeking Talents Hall, Cao Cao listened to the report of a small yellow door with a gloomy expression.

“…… That's all the villain hears under the eaves. Later, the two talked about graphic secret notes, but they read them on paper, and the small ones were never seen. The little yellow door lying on the ground trembled, for fear of touching Cao Cao's moldy head, and muttered.

Cao Cao's face turned blue, he was silent for a long time, and snorted, his eyes changing uncertainly.

"Go and take your reward. Continue to keep an eye on his every move, but if there is any movement, come and let me know immediately. ”

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly thanked the reward, knelt down and left, not daring to stay longer for a while.

Cao Cao's fingers clenched on the bed, and there was a slight noise between the bones. His face sank to the extreme--his son, his good son, the son he loved to cultivate, actually warned Zhu Ling that he expected Liu Bei to rebel, don't stop it, and let him take the five thousand elite soldiers away?......! He was still trying to contact the Assassin. But he really is his only son!

Cao Cao stared at the sandalwood on the desk, brushed his forehead, and kneaded it heavily.

"It's changed, it's all changed. Such ill-intentioned intentions are beyond speculation...... It's not my loyal and obedient son anymore. Cao Cao muttered to himself, his eyes getting colder and colder. The pinprick-like sting pain ripped deep into his skull, making his eyes red.

He immediately uploaded the Imperial Doctor. Before the arrival of the doctor, he only felt a splitting headache, constant suspicions, and was full of suspicions about the eldest son's movements, but he was not worried that Liu Bei would really sneak away with his troops.

He always trusts his decisions too much. Never regret it, even if the decision was wrong.

**

After the assassination in Picheng, I don't know how many days passed, and Zhao Yun woke up slowly.

When he awoke, the tent was still thick and dark.

A lone brazier burned out of sight, blood-red fiery with a weak sound. The charcoal fire is like a cold star in the sky.

It was cold in the tent, bitterly cold.

It was the same as every cold night in the past ten years.

But the cold and loneliness that he had long been familiar with suddenly grabbed his heart like a big hand. His heart was empty, as if there was a gap, and he didn't know what was missing, and he was so sad that the moment he woke up, he began to cramp and contract.

Zhao Yun's body moved, pulling the huge wound on his back, and he coughed unbearably violently, as if he was about to cough out all his internal organs. The corners of his dry and sticky eyes seemed to moisten suddenly. His fingers trembled slightly, and he stretched out in the direction of the charcoal fire with a trembling tremble......

The slightest hint of red light, just like that person. The only light and heat in his life, the only love he has in his life...... It's so illusory, ethereal, and unattainable.

"Qi Han ......"

Zhao Yun's body and heart were trembling, but they were as cold as if they were frozen, and with his outstretched hand, his body also grunted, 166 Reading Network
