Whatever Cai Ji's purpose for agreeing to send troops to attack the city, Yuan Xi at least got the answer he wanted. So after kindly reminding Cai Ji of the precautions for the siege, Yuan Xi politely said goodbye to Cai Ji. However, just as Cai Ji watched Yuan Xi's figure drift away, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Did you decide to make a move?"

I don't know when Yu Ji was already standing behind Cai Ji. This elusive veteran has been hiding in Cai Jun's camp all along, waiting for Cai Ji to introduce him to Yuan Shao. But from the tone of Yu Ji at this moment, it sounded like this old man not only heard the conversation between Cai Ji and Yuan Xi, but also had the intention of urging Cai Ji.

Facing Yu Ji who suddenly appeared, Cai Ji did not look back, but continued to look in the direction of Yingmen and replied happily that the government had led his troops to come here for several months, and it was time to end the battle of Yijing and return to Donglai. ”

Yu Ji'er heard that Cai Ji had already said that he had the intention of going home, and thought that he hadn't even seen Yuan Shao's face until now, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and reminded in a deep voice, "Old Dao has been waiting here for a long time. I hope that Jun Mo will forget his original promise. ”

"Of course. The government is also counting on Daochang Yu to be able to say a few good words for the government after getting the weight of General Yuan. Cai Ji turned his head and smiled leisurely at Yu Ji, and then turned the conversation back to his heart, "However, General Yuan was born in a famous family, and the Yuan family of Runan came from Shun first, and it is passed down that Meng's "Yi" is learned. There are many people around him. Ordinary yin and yang techniques and talismans, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the eyes of General Yuan. Therefore, please be calm and patient. After the government has arranged a qiē properly, he will definitely let Daoist Yu stage the technique of landslide and earth cracking in front of General Yuan. ”

Yu Ji has long been familiar with Cai Ji's remarks. In fact, Yu Ji also knew in his heart that it was okay to deceive ordinary fools and fools with his little "spell". If he really wants to go to the great princes like Yuan Shao, apart from the alchemy and immortal technique, Yu Ji really can't think of any other way to impress Yuan Shao. But alchemy and immortality are based on the other party's desire and trust. Regardless of Yuan Shao's current focus on chasing the world, he will not invest his limited money in the bottomless pit of seeking immortal immortality. Yu Ji Taipingdao's identity alone was enough to make him the target of attack by Yuan Shao's staff. And when Cai Ji was in Jinxi, he promised Yu Ji that he would use a secret technique of Momen to help him ascend to the throne in front of Yuan Shao. In view of the fact that many of Yu Ji's previous "spells" were completed with the help of Momen's tricks, Yu Ji has always been very obedient to Cai Ji's arrangement. It's just that Cai Ji's preparation for this spell seems to be much longer than Yu Ji expected.

Now I heard Cai Ji mention the local cracking technique of the mountain again. Yu Ji, who was anxious and curious, and even more afraid that it would be difficult to win Yuan Shao's trust, couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and asked, "Can Jun really guarantee the success of this technique?" ”

"If it weren't for that, how could this mansion dare to agree to attack the city in front of Yuan Xi just now?" Cai Ji raised his eyebrows and asked. Indeed, in what Cai Ji said to Yuan Xi before, except for "long pain is better than short pain", everything else can be regarded as a lie. In this game of power, Cai Ji sometimes can't figure out which words are true and which ones are false.

At the same time that Cai Ji sent Yu Ji away, Yuan Xi came to Yuan Shao's big tent with Cai Ji's reply. Yuan Shao was still discussing the general situation of the world with his staff members as usual. It's just that the news from the Central Plains shows that his old Cao Cao has had a smooth life this time. He not only defeated Zhang Xiu and consolidated the defense of Xu Du, but also used Yuan Shu's in-law relationship with Yang Biao to drive the faction led by Yang Biao out of the court. It is like a posture to build Hanting into a hall of words. In addition, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other northwestern princes successively sent their children to Xu Du as officials, and also invisibly sent key hostages to Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao's position in the court was becoming more and more stable, but he was suffering from being delayed by Gongsun Zhan and it was difficult to get out of Yijing City, Yuan Shao's temper couldn't help but become more and more anxious. So much so that even when he heard the battle report of his old opponent Yuan Shu being driven away by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao still had a blue face and could hardly smile. As for facing Yuan Xi who came in a hurry, Yuan Shao asked coldly, "When will Cai Anzhen send troops?" ”

Yuan Xi responded with a fist and returned to his father, and Cai Anzhen promised to mobilize troops and horses to attack the city today and tomorrow. ”

"She doesn't have anything else to say?" Yuan Shao asked without raising his head, his words full of distrust.

Yuan Xi replied truthfully to his father, and Cai Anzhen did not make other requests. ”

"I never thought that Cai Anzhen was a cheerful person." Yuan Shao sneered, raised his head and continued to ask, "Then did she say how many men and horses she would send to attack the city?" ”

"Give it your all." Yuan Xi lowered his head and conveyed.

"Oh? Bear down? Yuan Shao looked around at the staff present in surprise, as if he was seeking opinions from everyone on this matter.

But seeing the first one out of the line, he said, "Cai Anzhen is just a woman, and the lord has an order, so he should obey it with all his might." ”

"Cai Anzhen has always been unprofitable. The lord should still beware of taking the opportunity to deceive. As Yuan Shaojun's teacher, Guo Tu interjected without being salty. Immediately, Yuan Shao nodded again and again.

Yuan Xi was quite disgusted by Guo Tu's practice of frequently issuing reprimands to his generals. In his opinion, Guo Tu's statement was completely attacking Cai Ji for Yuan Tan's fake public welfare. After all, the tragic situation in Yijing City is obvious to all, and Cai Ji was willing to send troops to help attack the city even though he knew that he would pay a heavy price. Neither reason nor reason should doubt its purpose and loyalty. In fact, not only Cai Ji, but even before Koi Yi, who had made great achievements in Youzhou, he was not less excluded by Guo Tu. But what made Yuan Xi feel helpless was that his father Yuan Shao seemed to value Guo Tu very much, and he was also quite useful for the various conspiracy theories he put forward. This made Yuan Xi have to worry about whether it would chill the loyal ministers who sent troops and contributed in the long run.

However, before Yuan Xi could open his mouth to argue for Cai Ji, Feng Ji on the side had already taken the lead in saying to Yuan Shao, "The lord doesn't have to worry about Cai Anzhen's tricks, after all, this woman has always been good at doing things. Except for the time when he was in Qingzhou, he has never disobeyed the orders of the lord. ”

Feng Ji's words were undoubtedly alluding to Guo Tu's collusion with Yuan Tan to attack Cai Ji. Guo Tu's face was certainly gloomy, and the other staff members on the scene also lowered their heads and skimmed their faces, putting on a posture of looking at their noses and noses. Because anyone with a discerning eye knows that Feng Ji is a figure of the three Yuan Shang series. At this moment, Feng Ji pointed the finger at Guo Tu, which was essentially the third Yuan Shang fighting with the great Yuan Tan. One is the favorite of the lord Yuan Shao, and the other is the eldest son of the Yuan family. Ordinary staff members who offend anyone will not be able to eat and walk around. What's more, there are two Yuan Xi present in the big tent at this moment. If such a situation does not know that silence is golden, then these people are not worthy of doing things under Yuan Shao's account.

Yuan Shao, who has been in officialdom for a long time, can't see the little Jiujiu in Feng Ji's heart. However, since this matter involved his beloved son Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao involuntarily felt partiality in his heart. But seeing him cough lightly, he made a round and said, "You don't have to talk about it. As long as Cai Anzhen sends troops to capture Yijing City, he will be rewarded. Come on, let's talk about how to deal with Cao Cao. ”

Guo Tu heard Yuan Shao say this, and knew that his father-in-law still preferred Yuan Shang in the final analysis. Thinking of Yuan Tan's achievements in Qingzhou in the past two years, Guo Tu had no choice but to take a step back for the time being and not to entangle with Feng Ji. As for Feng Ji, seeing that he had overpowered Guo Tu today, he was not proud to pursue the victory, but followed the steps given by Yuan Shao and talked about the situation in Xu Du with the staff.

Yuan Xi, who has been leading troops to fight all year round, is actually not interested in things like palace intrigues. However, since his father didn't mean to let him go, he had no choice but to continue to stay in the big tent and listen to Feng Ji and others analyze the current situation in the court. It's just that any conspiracy is essentially based on corresponding strength. Since most of Yuan Shao's troops were concentrated in Youzhou, and he could not go south to threaten Yuzhou for the time being, the countermeasures that Guo Tu and Feng Ji could think of were nothing more than bribing some pro-Yuan ministers in the Xu capital court to restrain Cao Cao.

However, this talk was indeed as fleeting as flowing water, and when Yuan Xi walked out of the big tent with a head full of conspiracy, the sun had already slanted to the west into the mountain col. Zhen Yao, who was discussing with the grain officer in the camp not far away, saw Yuan Xi appear, so he rushed forward in three steps and two steps to salute him, "I've seen Xi." ”

"How could Ji Gao make such a big gift. Didn't you say that I would be able to show my strength. "Yuan Xi has a good impression of this brother-in-law. This is not only because Zhen Yao provided Yuan Xi with a lot of grain and grass in the past two years. What's more, because Zhen Yao has a wide range of friends, he can often bring all kinds of strange things to Yuan Xi, who is guarding the barracks.

"If Sister Yao calls the word in the barracks, she must count Yao." After Zhen Yao arched his hand with a wry smile, he suddenly made a gesture in the other direction, "I've seen Yuan Tu." ”

It turned out that Feng Ji had already come to the side of the two of them at some point. But seeing Feng Ji stroked a wisp of goat's whiskers on his chin, squinted and smiled, "Zhen Langjun is Xi's in-law, and he can kill the old man with such a big gift." ”

Zhen Yao responded tactfully, "Where." Yuan Tu is an elder, and it is a matter of course for Yao to bow to the elders. I don't know if I didn't go straight to the last time, how did the meta map serve? ”

"Sanhan's Beizhishen really lives up to its name. After the old man took it, his vitality was greatly replenished. Feng Ji praised again and again.

Yuan Xi saw that Zhen Yao and Feng Ji were talking happily, and couldn't help but think of the rumors about the close relationship between Zhen Yao and Cai Ji from the outside world. Thinking of Feng Ji's previous move to exonerate Cai Ji in the big tent. Could it be that Feng Ji's move was not just to deal with Guo Tu, but because he himself received the benefits of Cai Ji? Thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly. Zhen Yao is a businessman, and it is normal not to directly participate in Feng Ji. And Cai Ji is known for being good at business, and it is normal for Zhen Yao to have dealings with him.

It seems that I really heard too much about the conspiracy just now, and I thought about the trivial things in terms of conspiracy. - After Yuan Xi, who was so self-deprecating, shook his head secretly, he beckoned Zhen Yao to drink together as if nothing had happened.

There is a heavily guarded tent in the northeast corner of the Cai army camp, some people say that this place is the granary of the Cai camp, and some people say that this place is the armory of the Cai camp. However, although there are occasional carriages and horses coming and going, there is very little movement, so people lose interest in this place over time. Until that night, Cai Ji and Duan Emei walked into the rarely brightly lit camp surrounded by several guards.

However, as soon as Cai Jicai stepped into the camp tent, he was greeted by a choking smell of dust, and in the tent that was one foot square, there were several small mounds piled up in the ground. In the middle of the tent is a deep well more than one person wide, and a wooden crane made of pulleys and ropes is installed on the well. Xiao Baizheng, the owner of the Mu Dun Banner, is commanding several soldiers to use this crane to transport the sealed barrels into the deep well.

Seeing Cai Ji and the others entering the tent, Xiao Bai hurriedly bowed to him and saluted, "My lord, the tunnel has been dug." This is the last batch of explosives. ”

"Lord Xiao Qi has worked hard." While listening to Xiao Bo's report, Cai Ji stepped forward to take a look at the deep well, and then asked Duan Emei with a little worry, "Master Duan Qi, this place is still some distance from the city wall, what if there is no lead at all, or if the fire goes out halfway?" ”

No, Cai Ji's so-called "Heaven and Earth Cracking" technique is to use explosives to blow up the walls of Yijing City, and at the same time, it also carries the momentum of Yu Jina's magic stick. After many previous experiments in Donglai, the Five Elements Banner has mastered a relatively safe way to blow up the wall. That is, the weaker part of the city wall is selected, the gunpowder sealed in the barrel is buried under the wall, and then the fuse is ignited and detonated. Of course, in real combat, it is impossible for the Five Elements Banner to blatantly dig a hole at the foot of the enemy's city wall. Therefore, you need to dig a tunnel from your camp to the base of the city wall in advance. And this tunnel must not be too long, too long to detonate; It should not be too short, it may attract the attention of the enemy; Not too wet, too wet will make the lead dumb. It was precisely because of the extremely harsh conditions that it took Cai Ji two full months to bury the gunpowder under Yijing City. But even so, given that this was the first time that black powder had been used on the battlefield of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Ji still seemed quite nervous out of concern about technology and luck.

At this moment, in the face of Cai Ji's question, Duan Emei, the owner of the Fire Escape Banner who was in charge of detonating the explosives, looked quite confident, but when she touched her blindfold, she assured in the light of the beating fire, "Don't worry, my lord, Emei has already explored in the cave, and the soil layer here is dry and suitable for ignition." Even if there is stubble in the middle, the fire escape flag also has its own perfect way to ignite the fire, and it will never miss the time set by the lord. ”

Cai Ji, who had been living in the late Han Dynasty for four years, knew very well that the "complete method" that Duan Emei said was probably to set the dead on fire. But as the so-called arrow has to be sent, for Cai Ji, whether she can blow up the wall of Yijing City is related to her next plan. So even though he knew that someone would make sacrifices this time, Cai Ji still clapped his palms without changing his face and announced, "Good this mansion will let Daoist Yu prepare and open the altar."
