"Well, you have a lot of sense." Wei Xu turned his head and said to several other pro-soldiers, "Pass the order, if anyone dares to say that he knows Zhang Mazi, he will not be pardoned!" ”

The pro-soldiers all said "yes", and one of them even ran to the grove to inform the captain of the pro-soldier who had left behind to bury the body......

Guo Jia saw that the matter was already halfway successful, so he secretly snickered in his heart: "Wei Xu is really a mediocre talent, the rest depends on how Lu Bu reacts." ”

"Dismount!" Wei Xu shouted loudly, and when he led his own soldiers to the Chinese army's tent, he shouted loudly.

As soon as Wei Xu jumped off the horse, he handed the reins to Guo Jia and said directly: "You lead them to wait outside the tent!" ”

"No!" Guo Jia replied with all the soldiers.

Wei Xu went directly into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Lu Bu drinking a little wine alone in the tent, so he ran to Lu Bu's side with a smile on his face, picked up the wine jug and poured wine into Lu Bu's empty wine glass, looking very courteous. Lu Bu knew this brother-in-law of his very well, and when he saw Wei Xu coming to serve him, he sneered and asked, "Did you lose all your money again?" ”

Wei continued: "Losing money? How could I possibly lose money, others lost to me about the same. ”

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Say, what are you looking for me? Lu Bu drank a glass of wine, and when he put the glass down, he stared at Wei Xu with a smile on his face.

Wei Xu gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still a brother-in-law...... No, it's the lord. It's still the lord's unique vision, as soon as I pinch **, you will know what I had. To tell you the truth, I have a big story to tell my lord. ”

"You?" Lu Bu knew Wei Xu's personality, and he was usually very proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and when he heard Wei Xu say big things. Then he sneered: "What big deal can you have?" ”

Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu didn't believe him, so he hurriedly took out a note from his arms, handed it to Lu Bu, and said, "My lord, please take a look, you will know at ......a glance."

Lu Bu took the note and glanced at it hurriedly, and his face changed dramatically. slapped the table in front of him suddenly, and said angrily: "Sure enough, there are spies!" ”

"Where did you get that?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows angrily and asked sharply.

Wei Xu hurriedly said: "When I was patrolling the camp tonight, I caught a suspicious person in the woods, so I asked the soldiers to arrest that person. Without saying a word, he cut down the man. I thought it was a big deal, so I came to see the lord and told him about it, so that he could decide. Lu Bu snorted, stood up directly, tore the note in his hand to shreds, and said angrily: "Ma Teng, the old fox, has left all the original agreements behind. I didn't expect that in just two years, they wanted to plot against me. ”

Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu was angry. Then he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Lord, Ma Teng is indeed an old fox, have you forgotten, didn't Ma Teng's subordinates break into Shuofang and Shangjun a year ago, and they said that they were chasing the Liukou, but now I think about it." At first, it was just an excuse to try to plot against the lord. It can be regarded as the sky has eyes, Ma Teng finally showed his fox tail. ”

When Lu Bu heard Wei Xu say this, he really remembered that there was indeed such a thing. He once had a verbal agreement with Ma Teng, when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo. Lü Bu led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, and when he chased him outside Hangu Pass, he met Ma Teng and his troops to rebel against Dong Zhuo, and the two of them worked together to kill Li Ru and Guo Yan, forcing Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to surrender......

After that, Ma Teng's subordinates sent Dong Zhuo's head, and Lu Bu and Ma Teng made an agreement. Ma Teng handed over Dong Zhuo's head to Lü Bu, and asked the Son of Heaven to make Lü Bu a marquis, and the two agreed not to invade each other. Lu Bu was greedy for such small profits at that time, coupled with the fatigue of the soldiers, Dong Zhuo was dead, and his fighting spirit was gone, so he agreed to the agreement proposed by Ma Teng, and withdrew from Hangu Pass with people.

Now, every time Lu Bu remembers that he agreed to Ma Teng's agreement at that time, he regrets it, if he led his troops to attack Ma Teng, attack Hangu Pass, and snatch the emperor in his own hands, he will inevitably become a person who leans towards the government and the opposition......

Lu Bu sighed heavily, thinking back to the past two years ago, he was a little lost. Turning his head, he said to Wei Xu: "You go and call Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao, since this kind of thing has happened, you have to be careful." Ma Teng occupies Guanzhong and the entire Liangzhou, and the sphere of influence under his control is closely connected with the state, if he really sneaks up on the state, he will inevitably attack from Shuofang County, and I must take precautions. ”

Wei Xu nodded heavily, and clenched his fists to Lu Bu with a "nuo", but his footsteps did not move, just looked at Lu Bu with a pleading expression.

Lu Bu glanced at Wei Xu, and immediately understood, and then said: "You have made a meritorious service this time, and after excavating the treasures in Ye City, I will definitely reward you heavily." ”

Wei Xu said with a smile on his face: "Thank you lord, my subordinates will retire!" ”

Out of the camp tent, Wei Xu saw Guo Jia and other pro-soldiers waiting there, so he calmly pointed to the three pro-soldiers and said, "Go and call the three generals Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao, this is the lord's order!" ”

Guo Jia watched three of the pro-soldiers leave, he just vaguely heard Lu Bu's angry shouts in the big tent, what to say "Ma Teng, this old fox", what "agreement" and other words, his brain turned vigorously, although he didn't know what kind of agreement Ma Teng and Lu Bu had, but judging from the shape of the past two years, Ma Teng gradually gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, but there was no conflict with the neighboring Lu Bu, so he could roughly understand a little bit of the truth......

He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "General, what does the lord say?" ”

Wei continued: "I caught the spy, the lord naturally wants to reward me, and when the lord rewards me, I will share a little of it...... Guo San, you will be the captain of my personal soldiers in the future, I found that with you by my side, my good luck will come. ”

Guo Jia saw that Wei Xu's trust in him was gradually deepened, so he said, "No! The small ones are thanks to the general for promotion. ”

Wei Xu patted Guo Jia's shoulder with a smile and said triumphantly: "Do a good job, I won't treat you badly." ”

Guo Jia echoed a few sentences, and waited with Wei Xu at the door of the big tent.

Not long after, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao all came to the big tent of the Chinese army quickly, and when they saw Wei Xu standing outside the tent with a proud face, they all politely bowed their hands to Wei Xu. Then they entered the big tent one after another.

Wei Xu turned to Guo Jia and said, "You wait here, I'll go in first, the lord is going to be real this time." ”

Guo Jia nodded, did not speak, and watched Wei Xu enter the big tent. He led Wei Xu's horse and looked around. Suddenly, he saw Chen Gong striding towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and secretly shouted in his heart: "It's not good, as soon as Chen Gong comes, it will definitely be bad." ”

He was afraid that Chen Gong would come to destroy his good deeds, so he got close to the horse, and took out an arrow and stabbed the horse in the abdomen with the arrow. At the same time, he released the reins he was holding.

The horse suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, suddenly became manic, raised his two front hooves, let out a long neighing of pain, and ran straight ahead, meeting Chen Gong and crashing into it.

Chen Gong was striding forward, when he suddenly saw Wei Xu's horse rushing towards him like crazy, and his face was shocked. Hurriedly flashed to the side, and the war horse flashed quickly in front of him. As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he ran out of the gate of the Chinese army and ran out of the camp.

Guo Jia saw that the horse did not collide with Chen Gong, and he was discouraged, he immediately walked forward, greeted Chen Gong and said, "The military advisor forgives the sin, the military advisor forgives the sin." Small sins deserve death! ”

Chen Gong didn't know Guo Jia, and when he first started leading Wei Xu's horses, he knew that he was Wei Xu's personal soldier. He had never had a good impression of Wei Xu, and if he hadn't dodged fast just now, it would have been strange if the horses hadn't knocked him to death. He was furious. Then he said angrily: "You are damned! Can't even look at a war horse? What's the use of keeping you? Come on, pull him out and cut him down! ”

"The military advisor spares his life...... The military advisor spares his life......" Guo Jia immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed. Chen Gong's face did not change, and he pointed to a few soldiers nearby and said, "You guys, pull him out for me and cut him down!" ”

Guo Jia saw that several soldiers around him gathered towards him, hurriedly stood up, grabbed Chen Gong's hand, quickly stuffed the wax pill that had been prepared into Chen Gong's sleeve, and then kept begging for mercy: "The military advisor spares my life, I know it's wrong, please spare my dog's life for the sake of General Wei's face......."

Chen Gong didn't notice anything wrong at all, just because Guo Jia played the dying struggle too realistically. He shook off Guo Jia's hand, raised his foot and kicked at Guo Jia, and said loudly: "You get out of here!" ”

Guo Jia fell directly to the ground, rolled on the ground a few times, and got up directly, shouting loudly as if he was dying: "The military advisor has killed someone...... The military advisor is going to kill someone...... The general is here to save me......"

Lu Bu, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu were in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as the four generals finished saluting Lu Bu, they heard loud shouts from outside the tent......

Lu Bu was angry, when he suddenly heard someone making a loud noise outside his tent, so he said angrily: "Which king and eight lambs are so ignorant of the rules? ”

Wei Xu heard that this voice was so familiar, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Don't be angry, lord, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"No need, come out with me!" Lu Bu strode out of the tent without looking back to the tunnel. Wei Xu followed closely behind Lu Bu, and thought to himself: "It's wrong, I don't know what trouble Guo San has caused, why is it related to the old boy of Chen Gong again......"

Lu Bu came out of the big tent, but saw that the two personal soldiers guarding outside the tent arrested Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was shouting with horror on his face...... He glanced at Chen Gong, who was striding from a distance, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Guo Jia replied first: "Lord Qiqi, General Wei's war horse was suddenly frightened, and the small one couldn't hold it, and the war horse ran towards the outside of the camp at once, just as the military division came from outside the gate and almost bumped into the military division, the small one hurriedly went to apologize and beg the military division for forgiveness. The small one is indeed at fault, but the sin is not to death, and the small one is not convinced, so he makes a big noise in front of the lord's account, and the small one has to offend the lord, and asks the lord to forgive the sin! ”

After Lu Bu listened, he turned his head to look at Chen Gong, who had already walked to his side, and asked, "Military Master, is this such a thing?" ”

Chen Gong nodded and did not speak......

Lu Bu said: "It's a big thing, it's worth making a fuss like this?" This kid is right, he will not sin to death, and he will be punished with fifty sticks. Strategist, you're here just in time, I have something important to discuss with you, so come with me. ”

Guo Jia grabbed the words again: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill." Thank you for not killing. ”

Chen Gong glared at Guo Jia angrily, very unhappy in his heart, but he was helpless in the face of Lu Bu. He leaned over and said "Nuo" to Lu Bu, and when his arm naturally hung down, a wax pill fell out of his sleeve and rolled directly to Lu Bu's feet. Lu Bu glanced down at the wax pill at his feet. His brows furrowed tightly, and he immediately said to Wei Xu: "Pick it up!" ”

Wei Xu was also stunned, he never expected that Chen Gong still had wax pills hidden in his body, but he did have a secret joy in his heart. Bending down, he quickly picked up the wax pill, and after peeling it off directly, he found that there was a note inside, which he hurriedly presented to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the note, reflecting the faint light. After a quick look, his face turned blue and red for a while, and his expression was as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

Chen Gong saw that the expression on Lu Bu's face changed, and he looked at Lu Bu innocently, but he didn't know what was written on the note, which made Lu Bu look like this......

Guo Jia stood aside and snickered in his heart, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect to learn this 'clever empty-handed' move from Bian Xi, but I used it on it." Even if Chen Gong doesn't die this time, he can successfully separate the relationship between Lu Bu and Chen Gong. ”

Lu Bu held the note tightly in his hand. His face was gloomy, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and roared in a low voice: "Come in with me!" ”

Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu turned around and walked into the big tent, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao also followed, and Chen Gong also walked into the big tent quickly, he hurriedly walked to Guo Jia's side, and said to the two Lu Bu's personal soldiers who grabbed Guo Jia: "Give him a thicker pad." When this is done, I will invite you to drink. ”

The two Lu Bu's personal soldiers smiled knowingly and replied in unison: "Don't worry, general! ”

Wei Xu nodded and said to Guo Jia: "Guo San, don't worry, these are my gambling friends." I won't be heavy on you, and the fifty sticks will pass in a while. Guo Jia said: "Thank you for the general's concern, I am grateful for the little ones." ”

Wei Xu smiled at Guo Jia, turned around and walked into the big tent, while the two personal soldiers took Guo Jia to the military stick.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and Lu Bu sat there without saying a word, his vicious eyes like snakes and scorpions kept staring at Chen Gong tightly.

Suddenly, Lu Bu raised his foot and kicked the table in front of him open, and the things on the table spilled all over the ground, his whole person was already angry, he crumpled the note in his hand into a small ball, smashed it directly into Chen Gong's face, and shouted loudly: "You dog thing that eats inside and out, I am not thin on you, why do you want to treat me like this?" ”

Chen Gong already had a premonition, he didn't dodge or dodge, the paper ball smashed right on his face, he stretched out his hand to catch the paper ball that was about to fall to the ground, opened it and glanced at the note, then frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Lord, you are not thin on your subordinates, how can your subordinates do this?" ”

"Only you understand in your heart, even if I am blind, I don't even see that you are such a person! No wonder you died begging to serve me when you were in Luoyang, it turned out that all the qi qi qi was to harm me...... Say! What else did Cao Cao let you do? Lu Bu was furious at this time, the former had a small spy sent by Ma Teng, and now a big spy has popped up, and he is also the person he trusts the most, which is really too big a blow to him......

After Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu listened, they all squinted at the note that Chen Gong was holding in his hand, and they all wanted to know what was written on it.

Chen Gong knew that someone was framing him, but after thinking about it, he never found any suspicious person. He saw that Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu were all interested in this note, so he immediately sneered, his face did not change, and he picked up the note and immediately read it out: "Brother Meng Dewu, now that the Yuan family is defeated, Jizhou has become a situation where the two males stand side by side. Lu Bu trusts me very much, and I am bound to encourage him to attack Lin Nan and provoke the two armies to start a fierce battle in Jizhou...... Once the two armies meet, the elder brother can raise the Central Plains Xiongshi to cross the Yellow River to the north and attack Lin Nan with Lü Bu first. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, after Lin Nan is destroyed, my brother can fight back, and with me as the internal response, it is easy to take Lu Bu's child's head. Seeing the words, I hope my brother will reply as soon as possible. ”

After Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Xu listened, the expressions on their faces were different. Wen Chou was slightly calm and expressionless. Gao Shun was panicked, looking at Chen Gong's eyes full of murderous intent. Zhang Liao was full of doubts, and his eyes were slightly hesitant. Wei Xu had a gloating expression on his face and a smug smile.

Lu Bu had a gloomy face, pointed at Chen Gong and said, "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, you were originally Zhang Miao's subordinate." Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are old acquaintances, Cao Cao was the assassin of Yanzhou at that time, to put it bluntly, you are also Cao Cao's old department...... You didn't join Cao Cao, but you came to me with the remnants of the army, and it turned out that you took refuge in me. It was all planned by Cao Cao and you in secret. I should have thought that I still trusted you so much, and I didn't think that you were such a person. Come! Push Chen Gong out for me and behead the public! ”

"Wait!" Zhang Liao suddenly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The lord is slow, there are still many suspicious things in this, and further clarification is needed." What's more, his subordinates believe that the military advisor will do this......"

"The facts are all in front of you, what else is there to say!" Lu Bu said angrily, "No wonder he kept persuading me to kill Lin Nan." It turns out that this qiē is all a conspiracy. ”

"The lord is angry, and listens to his subordinates." Zhang Liaolang said.

"There's nothing to say, come on, push Chen Gong out and behead the public!" As soon as Lu Bu waved his hand, he shouted loudly outside the tent.

Gao Shun hurriedly said: "Lord, my subordinates think that this matter is not trivial, why did the lord listen to the defense of the military advisor?" In case you kill the wrong person. It's too late to regret it later! ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates think. If the military advisor really wanted to plot against the lord, how could he inadvertently leak such a secret letter? Anyway, the military advisor can't run away now, even if he wants to kill, his subordinates only need to draw their swords and cut him, why not listen to what the military advisor says? Zhang Liaoli persuaded.

"The facts are all here, the human and physical evidence. What else is there to say, Chen Gong must be a spy sent by Cao Cao. "Wei Xu and Chen Gong are a little dissatisfied, a few months ago, he was punished by Chen Gong in public when he was in Jinyang, and he has always felt that this is a shame. He held a grudge against Chen Gong and always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Seeing that Chen Gong's face did not change and did not say a word, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao strongly persuaded Wei Xu to put Chen Gong to death, he glanced at Wen Chou, who had not spoken, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wen Chou didn't want to get too involved in this matter, but when Lu Bu asked him, after thinking about it, he said to himself: "In court, even if you are a prisoner, you should have a time to justify." The subordinates thought that they might as well listen to Chen Gong's words and make a decision later. ”

Lu Bu nodded and roared at Chen Gong, "Chen Gong, what do you have to say?" ”

Chen Gong stood in the big tent with a breeze on his sleeves, and suddenly laughed "haha", with a hint of self-deprecation, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that my Chen Gong would die so worthless, and I would die in the hands of a small wax pill......"

Zhang Liao said: "Military advisor, isn't the lord still inconclusive!" ”

Chen Gong sighed heavily and said slowly: "That's it!" If the lord wants to kill me, he can kill me at any time, and since I decided to follow the lord, this life is the lord's. However, if I die like this, my lord will regret it. Based on my lord's understanding of me, if I really had the heart of rebellion, I would definitely be able to do it without leaking, let alone show such an important letter in front of my lord in public. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu recalled Chen Gong's vigorous and resolute style of doing things, as well as the extremely deep city government, and he had reason to believe Chen Gong's explanation...... His heart began to slowly waver, but looking at the note, he became suspicious of Chen Gong again, because what was written on the note was indeed the truth, he and Lin Nan now happened to have captured half of Jizhou by themselves, and there were only two of them in the entire north of the Yellow River.

Seeing that Lu Bu's face was slightly moved, Chen Gong held up the note in his hand and continued: "Lord please take a closer look, the handwriting on this note is not the same as that of his subordinates at all. The font on the note is very beautiful, but the font of the subordinate is more vigorous, based on this alone, you can conclude that this note is not written by a subordinate, and it has nothing to do with the subordinate. ”

"Perhaps, you were afraid that others would find out, so you deliberately asked someone to write it for you?" Wei continued to speculate......

Chen Gong sneered: "What General Wei said is quite light, I will say something unashamed, looking at the entire Jin army, the person who can write such a beautiful text is afraid that there will never be a second person." Most of the soldiers were illiterate whites, and even literate people could not write such a fly-headed script. General Zhang's font is relatively beautiful, but General Zhang can't write such a small text, which shows a problem, this is the enemy is blaming me, and wants to use this matter to get rid of me and make the lord lose an arm. ”

"During the day, the granary caught fire for no reason. Now this kind of thing has happened again, needless to say, it must be the work of a spy. Gao Shun analyzed.

Wei Xu hurriedly invited merit and said: "There is a spy, but I have already killed him, it is Ma Teng's person, and it has nothing to do with this matter......

Chen Gong continued: "My lord. Think about it again, who is Cao Cao? He is now the Marquis of Wei, no matter how close to him is, except for his flesh and blood brothers, no one else calls Cao Cao the Marquis of Wei, which makes no sense in terms of reason. Moreover, the things written in this letter are far beyond the wisdom of ordinary people, and even when I first saw it, I had to be impressed by it. This wisdom is comparable to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and there is also an extremely far-reaching strategy. ”

Lu Bu sneered: "Can you see so much from such a simple letter alone? According to what you say, then my Jin army is a bunch of pig brains? Are you smart alone? ”

Chen Gong felt speechless, and hurriedly said: "The subordinate didn't mean this, the subordinate just said the information implied in this letter......"

"Lord, please take the offense of the original military advisor, my subordinates think. The military advisor was definitely not meant to offend. Zhang Liaojin said.

Lu Bu sneered, waved his hand at Chen Gong and said, "Go on." Chen Gong "promised". Seeing that Lu Bu's anger had gradually subsided, he said loudly: "My subordinates have been persuading the lord to kill Lin Nan, it is indeed because Lin Nan will become the lord's henchman, and if you start early, you can eradicate this hidden danger as soon as possible." But what is written in the letter is indeed a different insight, after the subordinates read it. I also feel ashamed. ”

"What insight can a secret letter have?" Wei Xu snorted coldly and said casually.

Chen Gong ignored Wei Xu and continued: "As it is written in the letter, after the defeat of the Yuan clan. Jizhou will have a situation of two heroes standing side by side, the lord is in the west, and Lin Nan is in the east, but if you want to dominate the world, the two armies will inevitably cause disputes and hate each other, which is exactly what the subordinates are worried about, so I want to ask the lord to strike first...... However, after reading this letter, the subordinate had another idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Lu Bu asked.

"Cao Cao's tiger is located in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, when our army and Lin Nan attacked Jizhou, they restrained Yuan Shao's large number of troops, Cao Cao's eyes were keen, once he learned that Jizhou was fighting, he would immediately lead troops to attack Qingzhou, take the opportunity to occupy Qingzhou to expand his territory, and gradually control the Central Plains. Our army and the Yan army have done their best to attack the Zhao army, and if our army and the Yan army fight again, Cao Cao, who is south of the Yellow River, will inevitably send troops to the north, or join forces with Lin Nan to destroy our army, or join forces with our army to destroy the Yan army...... In short, no matter what choice he will make, but from the point of view of the shape, it will be very unfavorable to our army, once the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the entire Jizhou will inevitably become Cao Cao's bag. Therefore, the subordinates' minds have changed now, and they think that it is still necessary to get along with Yan Jun amicably. Chen Gong said eloquently.

Lu Bu also felt very reasonable when he heard Chen Gong say it so thoroughly, and at the same time, he also eliminated his suspicions about Chen Gong, and said to Chen Gong in a loud voice: "Actually, I already knew it, so I didn't want to start a war with Lin Nan. Chen Gong was very surprised, in his eyes, Lu Bu's sense of smell was very dull, how could he know such a profound stake...... But he still complimented as always: "The lord is wise." ”

Wen Chou sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: "I already know what you know, there is another reason why you are unwilling to go to war with Lin Nan, you can't wait for those treasures buried under Zhao Hou's Mansion." ”

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Lu Bu immediately asked: "It seems that there is a spy hidden in our army and one of them, Wei Xu caught Ma Teng's spies, this one who framed the military advisor must have been sent by Lin Nan, he was afraid that I would attack him, so he wanted to get rid of the military advisor first." But I'm glad I'm smart enough not to be fooled. Wei continued! ”

"What does the lord command?" Wei continued to hold his fists.

Lu Budao: "Thoroughly investigate the spies in the army, and this matter will be left to you." ”

Wei Xu happily accepted the order, and immediately said loudly: "My subordinates obey ...... order."

Lu Bu then said: "The main force of our army is in Jizhou, leaving only the 3,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to guard all parts of the state, and the strength of the state is indeed empty. Regardless of whether it is true that Ma Teng attacked our army secretly, our army must be prepared. Zhang Liao! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Zhang Liao came out of the column to hug his fist.

"You led 10,000 wolf cavalry, quickly rushed to Bingzhou, and guarded Shuofang, Wuyuan, Taiyuan, Shangjun and other places with Zhang Yang, in case of accidents." Lu Budao.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "My subordinates receive orders." ”

Chen Gong said: "My lord, transfer troops from here to merge the state." Isn't it ...... here in Jizhou?"

"Don't worry, since Lin Nan can use this kind of discord to separate you and me, he must know the stakes between our two armies, and now that the Yan army has just finished fighting, the soldiers are exhausted, and they must take a rest. There will definitely be no war with our army in the short term, and I am also ready to make an alliance with Lin Nan, so that Cao Cao will not covet Jizhou...... Jizhou has a large population, as long as I am given two years, I will definitely train a brave army. Lu Bu said confidently.

Chen Gong said: "The lord is wise! ”

……

Guo Jia had just finished receiving fifty military sticks, but because Wei Xu had greeted him in advance, the two pro-soldiers had put thick things on Guo Jia's body, and the military sticks were also lightly beaten. Basically, Guo Jia was not injured.

After the beating, Guo Jia saw the two tired and sweaty Lu Bu's personal soldiers, so he arched his hand and said: "The two of you have worked hard, thanks to the care of the two, I won't bloom there......"

One of the soldiers said: "You are relaxed, but you pity our two brothers, you are tired and tired to beat you with a military stick, and you don't even have a symbolic shout." ”

Guo Jia smiled: "I'm sorry for the two of you." Why don't I invite you two to drink? ”

When the two soldiers heard that they were going to drink, they were of course happy. followed Guo Jia back to the big tent where he was.

When Guo Jia first infiltrated the Jin army camp, because there was no tent that belonged to him, he acted as a soldier on night duty and rested in the tent during the day. But since he met Wei Xu, his position has become the captain of the personal army, and he can have his own camp alone. That's why he took the two soldiers back to his camp.

The two pro-soldiers are both old pro-soldiers who have followed Lu Bu's side for many years, and they have a good relationship with Wei Xu, they know that Wei Xu is very important to Guo Jia, so they praised: "Brother Guo, you have to do a good job." Under the hands of General Wei, there is a lot of oil and water, and you will get rich in the future, but don't forget about us. ”

"Definitely, definitely!"

After Guo Jia finished answering lightly, he first said something to praise the two pro-soldiers, and then poured wine for the two pro-soldiers, and after making the two pro-soldiers half-drunk, he began to ask them about Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao, wanting to know more about the characteristics and weaknesses of Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao.

The two pro-soldiers were poured a lot of wine by Guo Jia, and there was a way to spit out the truth after drinking, they said everything, and even the words that were usually angry and unhappy and scolded Lu Bu were also said together. Fortunately, Guo Jia was just asking them for a solution, not to take their lives, otherwise, the two of them would have died a long time ago.

Guo Jia saw that the two pro-soldiers were drowsy, lying there drunk, sorting out the information collected by Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao, and secretly thought in his heart: "It's a bit tricky, it seems that it is much more difficult to gain the trust of these three people than Wei Xu." Tomorrow will be the handover of Yecheng, the main guild will stay in Xindu City for the time being, and Lu Bu must be tricked to Sili before the Xianbei people attack and merge the state! It seems that we have to start with Ma Teng......"

That night, Wei Xu, who came out of the Chinese army's tent, continued to catch spies in the Jin army camp, and this time the investigation was much more detailed, and he specially called Guo Jia over just in case, and followed him to inspect the whole camp one by one. Guo Jia has nothing to do with himself, and according to Wei Xu's investigation, even if he investigates for ten or eight years, he can't find anything abnormal. However, he still had to be careful not to show his feet. In addition, when he was patrolling the camp, he also learned that Zhang Liao led his troops to Bingzhou, and Chen Gong's suspicion was eliminated.

After learning this news, Guo Jia re-examined his strategy, and he decided to start with Wei Xu, first praising Wei Xu as the most trustworthy person in front of Lu Bu, and then letting Wei Xu go to trick Lu Bu into going south to subordinate.

Wei Xu really didn't find the spy, he didn't know that Guo San, who was trusted by his side, was Guo Jia, so he investigated the spy until late at night, but he still found nothing, and in the end he could only rest for the time being.

The next day, when it was just dawn, Guo Jia walked out of the tent, looked at the towering Yecheng in the distance, and saw that there were only a few big flags hanging on the city tower, and there was not a single figure in sight...... He was frightened, so he hurriedly brought a horse, mounted it, and rode out of the camp.

After Wei Xu's spy investigation with Guo Jia last night, many soldiers in the Jin army camp knew this "Guo San", the captain of Wei Xu's own soldiers, and the soldiers knew the relationship between Wei Xu and Lu Bu, so they were also very polite to Guo Jia.

Taking advantage of this convenience, Guo Jia quickly slipped out of the camp, and after climbing a high slope, he looked near Yecheng, but saw that the two camps set up by the Yan army in the southwest and northwest were no longer there. Just before he could figure out what was happening, he saw a Jin army scout passing in front of him, and he immediately shouted, "Hey! What happened ahead, and why did Yan Jun disappear? ”

While riding his horse, the scout replied: "I don't know, I went to inspect in the morning, and the Yan army disappeared overnight, and I was about to rush to inform the lord, so Bu Duo said goodbye!" ”

After Guo Jia listened to the words of the Jin army scout, he frowned, hurriedly thought about it, and secretly shouted in his heart: "The lord left in such a hurry, something must have happened, is it...... Could it be that he fought with Cao Cao in Qingzhou? ”

Just when Guo Jia's heart was abrupt, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and Wei Xu galloped over with a few relatives, shouting the name of "Guo San". Guo Jia hurriedly turned his horse's head and went down the high slope, greeted Wei Xu and bowed: "What did the general call me for?" ”

Wei Xu didn't sleep well last night, his eyes had dark circles, and the bags under his eyes were a little puffy, like a giant panda. He sighed, opened his mouth and said, "You can make it easy for me to find you for a while, if someone hadn't seen you out of the camp, I really wouldn't have found you." What are you standing here for? Come with me to find out the spies. ”

Guo Jia said: "General, there is no need to check, our army is so big that even if there are spies, they will leave early, just let the battalions find out who has left the barracks in the past two days." In addition, the Yan army withdrew overnight, and Yecheng has become a borderless land, and the general should do his best to tell the lord to enter the city......"

Wei Xu was convinced, climbed the high slope, looked straight ahead, except for a few big flags planted on the city tower, he could no longer find any trace of the Yan army, so he laughed and said: "I didn't expect this kid Lin Nan to run so fast!" ”

Guo Jia looked at Wei Xu's back, then looked back at the camp of the Jin army, and secretly thought in his heart: "Something must have happened, otherwise the lord would not have left in such a hurry." It's a pity that I'm already well-known in the Jin army now, and it's difficult to leave. Lord, Feng Xiao can't help much for the time being, so he can only do his best to complete the idea of 'driving the wolf and devouring the tiger'. ”

Wei continued to descend the high slope, rode his horse and galloped, and went straight back to the big tent of the Chinese army, because his identity was special, so he didn't need to report it, but he told Lu Bu the news of the retreat of the Yan army to the scouts first.

When Lu Bu received this, he immediately became ecstatic, and immediately ordered the whole army to set up camp and go to Yecheng.

Yecheng has become an empty city, the people and the army have been evacuated, leaving only a place of mud and a mess all over the ground, all the things that can be taken away in the houses have been taken away, and those that have not been taken away are either dilapidated or damaged......
