Xiao Ji's rumor plan was originally to allow Cao Cao to attack Puyang and contain the Hebei army; But who would have thought that Cao Cao unexpectedly decided to start a war against Yuan Xi and set off an unprecedented decisive battle.

Of course, Xiao Ji didn't know about this situation yet.

Until five days later.

In the name of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao enshrined Yuan Tan as a former general and the Marquis of Linzi. He also gave him a secret letter, asking him to lead an army of 50,000 to Zhencheng to listen to it. However, the war against Yuan Xi was not revealed.

After Yuan Tan received the letter, he hesitated for a long time.

Xiao Ji and Xin Ping couldn't guess Cao Cao's true intentions. They thought in their hearts, did Cao Cao really want to attack Puyang? He asked Yuan Tan to lead 50,000 troops to Zhencheng, did he want the Qingzhou army to become the vanguard of the attack on Puyang?

"Two gentlemen, should I go or not?" In Linzi Mansion, Yuan Tan asked Xiao Ji and Xin Ping.

Xiao Ji said: "Cao Cao asked the lord to go to Zhencheng... That's a good thing. It shows that Cao Cao may have launched an attack on Puyang. In this way, Yuan Xi would not attack Qingzhou. The lord should go. ”

"But..." Yuan Tan was very apprehensive.

He clearly knows that Cao Cao is an untrustworthy person, and he often retorts, once he goes to Zhencheng and falls into the hands of Cao Cao, can he still be good?

"Does the lord have any concerns?" Xin commented: "The minister thinks that there will be no accidents if there is a large army going together." The Lord can rest assured. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Tan hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go." But what about paper money after I'm gone? Give up? ”

Xiao Ji said: "The implementation of paper money is already on the bow and has to be issued. The minister is willing to continue to preside over the implementation. There is no Qingzhou family to make trouble, and the minister is seventy percent sure, please rest assured. ”

"Okay."

Yuan Tan is still a little distracted.

Is it right to go to Zhencheng to decide? Or is it a mistake?

Did Cao Cao have ulterior motives, or was he simply invited to help in the war?

Thinking of the current situation in Qingzhou, Cao Cao's army had to contain Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan had to go hard.

At this time.

Yuan Xi, who was in Yecheng, didn't know Cao Cao and Yuan Tan's plans.

Seeing that the day of attacking Yuan Tan was approaching, all armies were actively preparing.

When Yuan Xi arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, he recovered all the beasts sent from Youzhou and obtained more than 30,000 beast crystals.

Grade: 7

Experience: 443481/800000

Control: 84812/800000

Beast Crystal: 32618

Mission 1: Control 1 beast and gain 10 experience points.

Options: Control, Enhanced, Recycling, Marketplace

Opening the beast control system, Yuan Xi saw more than 30,000 beast crystals that had just been recovered.

If it was before, when he saw that there were 30,000 beast crystals in the system interface, he would have woken up with a smile in his dreams, but now he didn't have any touch. What can you buy with 30,000 beast crystals? Three-headed mammoth? A giant ape? A Titan Monty Python?

He has all of them.

One more, one less, will not be of much help to the war.

"What to buy..." Yuan Xi lay under a tree and kept looking through the system mall. It seems that there are many types, and the prices are more expensive than the other.

Beasts below 30,000 have probably been bought, or their strength is not good, so there is no need to buy them.

Hesitated for a moment...

Yuan Xi is ready to buy another Titan Python.

It turns out that the combat power of the Titan Python is far stronger than that of other giant beasts, and the price is also the most affordable.

"But..." Just as he was about to buy it, he thought again: "Although the Titan Python is good at group combat, it is not lethal enough, and it cannot participate in the winter battle." If the battle with the enemy reaches the most critical time, it happens to be winter, and the two giant pythons cannot appear, isn't it a big loss? ”

"Let's wait a little longer. When you need it, when you buy it again. Yuan Xi turned off the system and stood up.

Whew...

The Tyrannosaurus rex in the distance roared twice in this direction.

Yuan Xi looked at him and beckoned to him: "Come here!" ”

Knock knock...

The Tyrannosaurus rex ran over, and the ground trembled.

Yuan Xi stood at its feet and said, "In a few days, we will go on the expedition." You've been involved in many big battles before that, but in my opinion, it's not good enough, you should be stronger. This time to attack Qingzhou, you.... ”

Da Da...

Halfway through Yuan Xi's words, Wen Chou ran over from behind: "Lord, there is an emergency military situation..." ”

"What kind of emergency?" Yuan Xi patted the Tyrannosaurus rex and motioned for it to leave first.

"I don't know. It's an urgent letter. ”

"Where?"

"Military Administration."

Yuan Xi found an ordinary horse and returned to the city with Wen Chou.

Arrived at the Military Administration.

Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu were all sitting in the lobby.

Holding a letter in his hand, he saw Yuan Xi come in and handed the letter to Yuan Xi: "Lord..." ”

"Didn't you watch?" Yuan Xi took the letter, and the envelope read: "General Yuan Xi personally opened." ”

He said, "This letter is for the lord, how can we look good." But... According to the little guy who delivered the letter, he was from the Yingchuan family, and he came here on the order of the head of the family to send an emergency military intelligence. ”

"The Yingchuan family? Isn't this a supporter of Cao Cao? How can you send me a letter? Yuan Xi found a place to sit down and quickly opened the letter. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xi stood up again, with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong, lord?"

Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others were all taken aback.

Yuan Xi said: "Cao Cao has given the order to attack Puyang. Troops from the Central Plains states are urgently heading to the front line of Guandu. The letter also said that Yuan Tan would also participate in the battle.... ”

Guo Tu was shocked and said: "Why didn't we receive such important information in advance?" On the contrary, it is conveyed by the Yingchuan family. We all know... The Yingchuan family is a supporter of Cao Cao, is it credible? ”

"My lord, is there a signature on the letter?" Tian Feng asked.

"Nope."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "This kind of letter, once it is discovered by Cao Cao, the consequences are unimaginable, how dare the person who reported the letter sign it." ”

"If you don't have a signature, how can you be trusted? Could this be Cao Cao's trick? Guo Tu arched his hand and said: "The lord should be cautious and cautious." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and he was also suspicious in his heart.

The Yingchuan family supports Cao Cao a lot, and such a major event will never be easily revealed, unless Cao Cao has been betrayed. There is also a possibility, which is what Guo Tu said, that it is Cao Cao's treacherous scheme.

"As the saying goes, there are no waves. Since this letter has arrived here, it means that Cao Cao will make a move in the near future. Frustrated, he hurriedly sent someone to tell Gao Ran, let him be careful, don't go to Puyang. As soon as Cao's army approaches, report to me immediately. Yuan Xichao said frustratedly.

"Yes."

Fu Zhu called in an official to convey Yuan Xi's words.

Yuan Xi sat down and chuckled, "This thing is really interesting. I just wanted to attack Yuan Tan, but Cao Cao used troops against me, is it a coincidence? Or was there some kind of agreement between Cao Cao and Yuan Tan? ”

Tian Feng said: "Why should the lord worry? In the eyes of the minister, Cao Cao was by no means an opponent of the lord... ”
