Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

Cao Cao and Duan Xuan had already sent troops to Xuzhou for several days, and Yanzhou at this time was guarded by Zhang Miao.

Today should have been as usual, it should have been a quiet day, but Zhang Miao received a token from the visitor handed in by the housekeeper - the token of Yefeng.

After getting Zhang Miao's permission, the housekeeper took Zhang Feng to the living room, and Zhang Miao had already prepared tea waiting for him.

Due to the previous operation to rescue Xun You, through Xun Yu and Cao Ren, Northern Yefeng successfully established a cooperative relationship with Cao Cao. In fact, the cooperation between the night front and the princes is very simple: when the night front needs to rely on the power of the cooperative princes, the princes should provide corresponding assistance; And when the princes wanted to deal with some things that were inconvenient for them to come forward, they handed it over to Ye Feng. Of course, under the premise of "cooperation", the princes must help Yefeng do something extra, that is, to help Yefeng hunt down and kill the people pursued by the "Night Raid Order".

However, due to Ye Feng's status as an assassin, of course, he will not draw pictures with great fanfare, but simply describe the general physiognomy and personality traits. Therefore, even if Zhang Feng and Zhang Miao are face-to-face now, there is no need to worry at all.

"General Zhang, here is the person from the Yefeng Northern Hall, and General Token has already seen it." Zhang Feng tried his best to maintain his due demeanor.

"Hehe, Childe is a young hero, with an extraordinary bearing, and he must not be an ordinary person in the hall. I wonder why I came here? Zhang Miao was sometimes very curious, according to his understanding of Ye Feng, the number of people hidden in this organization in any city would not be less than a hundred, why did he just look for these young juniors.

"The general is falsely praised, but he is just a messenger. This rash visit is actually for the sake of the 'night attack order'. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Miao didn't have a good idea of the word, to put it more clearly, but he was dealing with traitors for the Assassins.

"I wonder if the general remembers the 'night attack order' he received last time?" Zhang Feng's words were actually for a temptation, because he wasn't sure if the four sages had already hunted down Duan Xuan. The only thing he knew for sure was that he was definitely in the target of the Night Raid.

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, the most recent one should be called Duan Xuan."

"That's fine, that's what I'm here for this time." What Zhang Feng thought in his heart at this time was that since the order had been given, he had saved another trouble of lying.

"Could it be?" Zhang Miao can already guess probably.

"Yes, we know his whereabouts." Zhang Feng pretended to be serious and said.

"Where is he now?" Zhang Miao asked seriously.

"It's under Master Cao's tent!"

"What?!" Zhang Miao was taken aback by the news and couldn't help but stand up.

"General Zhang, please take a seat", as he spoke, Zhang Feng stretched out his hand to signal, Zhang Miao slowly stabilized his mood and sat down again. But now his heart has risen to his throat.

"I heard that Cao Jun has a new strategist?"

"Positive...... Exactly, it was recommended by Xun Yu, called Xi Xuan, Xi Zhicai. Could it be that Childe is ......" Zhang Miao asked tentatively.

"The general is really smart."

"How could it! That...... Doesn't it mean that Xun Yu is also an accomplice? ”

"I don't dare to say much about this, but Duan Xuan's matter is true." Before Zhang Feng met Zhang Miao, he had spent several days inquiring, and the method was simple, it was nothing more than killing a pawn and changing his clothes and sneaking into the camp. It wasn't until he determined Duan Xuan's current identity that he came to see Zhang Miao.

"General, it was this person who led Dong Zhuo into Beijing, and it was also Chang'an City where this person let Li Dao enter, which caused the two thieves to trouble the Beijing division one after another. Now that this person has come to Lord Cao's account, it is inevitable that he will not do evil again. In the next time, I came all the way to save Lord Cao from fire and water, but I don't know if General Zhang is willing to help? ”

"This is natural, but Meng De and Na Xixuan have already gone to Xuzhou to ask Tao Qian, if he really wants to be unfavorable to Meng De, it will be too late at this time. In addition, Brother Chao and Chen Gong have not returned from their inspections, and it is not easy to get rid of this person by me alone. ”

"The general is too worried, Lord Cao and the general have been old friends for many years, if you go in person, he will naturally believe the general. If you really wait until that Duan Xuan used a trick to kill Lord Cao and accept his subordinates, at that time, I am afraid that this Yanzhou will change hands. ”

"Ahem! That's it! I set off immediately, and then went to Xuzhou to find Meng De. ”

"The general is loyal and righteous, and he admires it below. Then I also did something to inform Brother Ling and Chen Gong for the general. ”

"That's very good, then without further ado, let's go at once."

After that, Zhang Miao led five hundred cavalry to Xuzhou, while Zhang Feng followed the Chen Palace inspection route that Zhang Miao told him to find.

Zhang Miao simply thought that as long as he could see Cao Cao, he would definitely believe in himself and execute Duan Xuan.

It's just that in this matter, Zhang Feng saw it more thoroughly than him. Looking at the dust kicked up by Zhang Miao's cavalry, Zhang Feng sneered and scolded: "Idiot. ”

If it was Yuan Shu, or even a lord like Li Dao, then the result of this matter would definitely be Duan Xuan's death. However, that is Cao Cao, a person who has never been formalistic. In any case, it was Duan Xuan who made Cao Cao a man who could compete with the other princes, and Duan Xuan's strategy saved Cao Cao years of time. To put it mildly, although Zhang Miao has a good relationship with Cao Cao, he has no strengths in terms of tactics or soldiers.

Zhang Miao is righteous, and he will definitely want to save Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will definitely be "obsessed" with the capable Duan Xuan. Of course, Cao Cao would not let his men know that his adviser was a traitor to Yeyu, and the worst outcome would be a mutiny. Then, of course, there is only one way to solve it, which is to lock Zhang Miao up.

Although Cao Cao was decisive, he would not kill Zhang Miao. After all, whether it is from the perspective of righteousness or Zhang Miao's original intention, it is actually for Cao Cao.

But that's enough, now you just need to find Zhang Chao and Chen Gong, and you're done with a little rendering.

And the truth is indeed as he expected......

————————————————

A few days later, Xuzhou, Cao Jun camp.

Just as Duan Xuan and Cao Cao were discussing the offensive strategy, Zhang Miao gasped and rushed into the tent.

"Meng Zhuo? Why are you here? Cao Cao's eyes were full of surprise, while Duan Xuan vaguely guessed that it had something to do with him, because Zhang Miao was staring at him intently at this time.

"Good you Duan Xuan! To be honest, why did you take refuge in Meng De this time! Zhang Miao pointed at Duan Xuan and shouted angrily.

"What does General Zhang mean by that? The drama was confused. Duan Xuan pretended to be innocent.

"Hugh has to deny it! Do you want Meng De to become a public enemy of the world like Dong Zhuo! Zhang Miao trembled with anger.

"Meng Zhuo, where did you hear about this?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"Ye Feng's 'Night Attack Order' has been delivered, I have checked the token, and the messenger told me that they have found out clearly, and this person is Duan Xuan."

"Meng Zhuo, I think there must be some misunderstanding here, it's better to wait until I return to the army."

"Mengde! Why are you so partial to this person, why don't you ask? Could it be that you have been fascinated by him! Zhang Miao shouted.

"Didn't Zhicai say it, he didn't know what you said, maybe Ye Feng was mistaken. It's not as good as ......."

Zhang Miao didn't give Cao Cao a chance to continue, he gave up persuasion and directly drew his sword and slashed at Duan Xuan.

"Boom!" Zhang Miao was suddenly hit the back of the head, and the person who shot was not small, and Zhang Miao was beaten and fainted.

Zhang Miao was in too much of a hurry to enter the account just now, and he didn't realize that there was actually another person in the account - Dian Wei.

Ever since he met him in prison that day, Dian Wei had been with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao, because of his bravery and loyalty, made him his personal guard. When Zhang Miao drew his sword just now, Cao Cao gave him a look, so Dian Wei knocked Zhang Miao unconscious.

"Dian Wei, you have worked hard to bring Meng Zhuo back to Changyi first...... Just put it in jail and keep it under strict guard. No one should be allowed to contact him, at this time our army went deep into Xuzhou, and the army's heart could not be shaken.

"Subordinates obey." Dian Wei agreed, and then carried Zhang Miao out of the tent.

At this time, only Duan Xuan and Cao Cao were left in the account.

"Now we have connected more than ten cities, but the grain and grass are almost exhausted, in ...... opinion" Cao Cao stopped halfway through his words as he saw Duan Xuan untying the veil on his head.

"Lord, don't you doubt what Zhang Miao said? If it's true, then you can do it right now. Duan Xuan said as he pulled off his veil.

When the veil is completely removed, a face is revealed.

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. If you want to harm me, why do you have to lobby alone and send me 300,000 elite soldiers? Right, Duan Gongzi? Cao Cao looked at Duan Xuan and said calmly.

"Lord, it is indeed Duan Xuan below, and the word is ink. On the same day, after hearing that Wang Yun and Lu Bu teamed up to kill Dong Zhuo, he was angry for a while, so he let Li Dao enter Chang'an. I'm afraid that I was indeed given a "night attack order" under it. If the lord wants to execute him, please do it. Duan Xuan has been hunted down and killed now, of course, he can't know Ye Feng's movements, so even if there is a "Night Attack Order", he doesn't know, but he can vaguely guess the style of the four sages.

"Hehe, I have already said that there is no need to suspect people, and there is no suspicion in employing people. It will be a lot of events in the future, so let's call you 'Zhicai'. With that, Cao Cao walked up to Duan Xuan's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's move on to the matter of grain and grass." ”

Cao Cao's move really moved Duan Xuan, he tried to control his emotions, and returned to his previous state and said: "Although I am unwilling, I can only withdraw the army first." Xuzhou has a vast land and sufficient food savings, but I am afraid that Tao Qian is more willing to spend three or five years with us. Moreover, even if we conquered more than ten cities, we would not have enough troops to garrison them, and there would be not enough food and grass to supply these cities. Alas, maybe I'm too anxious. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, this time, I am familiar with the topography and route of Xuzhou, and second, I have a general understanding of Tao Qian's strength, which is a big gain. Order, withdraw tomorrow. Cao Cao said without regret.

Duan Xuan looked at the person in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

It is a blessing for all civil ministers and military generals to meet such a lord in troubled times.

But he didn't realize it at the moment that the clouds had gradually gathered towards Yanzhou......
