With Yuan Xi's tough order, the commanders immediately brought their heirs back, but they still stayed in the mansion of Yecheng, and Yuan Ping and Zhuge Liang even went to the Huagai Hall to ask Yuan Xi for their guilt.

This incident also made Yuan Xi feel a little insightful, that is, the so-called rule by inaction, it is not possible, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, it seems that it can be intimate, but there will always be a gap in the middle, and this gap is the royal power.

Therefore, Yuan Xi once again ordered that all military operations in the Shuaifu must be reported every five days, and at the same time, Pang Tong ordered the governors of the major armies to repeat the ideological education of the soldiers, and to clearly tell them that their allegiance will always be to Yuan Xi alone, not any other generals and commanders.

After these two orders went down, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the turmoil of sending children as hostages finally calmed down.

A few days later, Yuan Ping formally invited Yuan Xi in the Chaotian Hall to set up a marshal's mansion in Liyang, the ferry of the Yellow River, to oversee the movement of the major armies.

Yuan Xi approved it, and ordered that within three days, the commanders of the major army corps and the accompanying army divisions should immediately rush to various places according to the plan of the marshal's mansion.

On the night before leaving, Yuan Xi summoned Yuan Ping again.

"Congratulations to the eldest brother, another linzi" Yuan Ping said happily, just yesterday Lu Lingqi gave birth to a son, named Yuan Xian, and the royal family is adding one.

"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled, and said a little seriously: "Brother Ping, the other commanders have already returned to the station to prepare, the grain and grass for this big battle are not completely ready, it is estimated that there will be one to two months, after you arrive in Liyang, you must prepare the plan with Kong Ming in detail, this battle must not be lost."

"Big brother rest assured, although the five countries are in alliance, the current strength is only 31, 20,000, and my Dayan mobilized the 50,000 army of the first army of Wen Shuai, the 140,000 army of the second army of the minister, the 40,000 army of the third army of Yan Shuai, the 70,000 army of the fourth army of Jiao Shuai, the 60,000 army of the fifth army of Gao Shuai, the 20,000 iron cavalry of the seventh army of Ma Shuai, the 20,000 wind cavalry of the eighth army of Zhao Shuai, and the addition of 100,000 people of the three clans and eight banners, the total strength will be as high as 500,000 people, and the five countries have a considerable advantage in strength. Yuan Ping immediately arched his hand with a firm face.

"Okay, the imperial pigeon, the cupola cannon, the Lu bus, the eight-shot crossbow and all the other siege weapons needed, Gu Du has already made people actively prepare, don't be reluctant to use it, this time it's a victory, everything can come back" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"The minister understands, please rest assured that the minister will live up to his mission" Yuan Ping immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Yuan Xi smiled, personally helped Yuan Ping up, and said softly: "You must also pay attention to safety yourself, and you must not afford to lose."

"Second brother, don't worry," Yuan Ping nodded heavily.

After the two chatted for a long time, Zheng Chun suddenly ran over and reported in a low voice: "Your lord, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is Linghu Jun, and he asks to see him."

"Let him wait for a while," Yuan Xi waved his hand.

"No!"

"Brother Ping, you go back and have a good rest, set off as soon as possible, Lone will not send you, and when your army triumphs, Lone will go out of the city for ten miles to greet you" Yuan Xi said softly.

"Second Brother Xie," Yuan Ping said gratefully.

When Yuan Ping left, Yuan Xi came to the Huagai Palace, and Ling Hujun, who was waiting inside, immediately gave a salute and shouted: "Meet the king"

"No need to be polite, it's so late, what are you looking for Gu" After Yuan Xi sat down, he asked curiously and softly.

"King Yu, after many efforts, Jin Yiwei has finally determined the assassination plan for Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi," Ling Hujun said with his fists clenched.

"Cao Zhi" Yuan Xi was surprised, and then doubted: "It's been less than two months since the establishment of Jinyiwei, do you have this strength?" If it's a scare, it's not good."

"Tell the king, although the Jinyi Guard has been formed for a short time, but the whole body is united and loyal to the king, during this time, the Jinyi Guard has recruited a lot of masters, one of them is the descendant of the first emperor's secret spy Black Ice Platform, this person is extremely terrible with poison, he really went deep into Changyi, and found that Cao Zhi often secretly throws off the guards and goes to a tryst with a secret lover" Ling Hujun immediately explained.

"Haha" Hearing this, Yuan Xi laughed, and immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Jinyiwei really didn't disappoint Lone, although it is still a little worse than the military commander, but it is indeed full of vitality, if you can really kill Cao Zhi, Lone will definitely reward him."

"King Xie" Ling Hu Jun thanked him.

"Cao Zhi is nothing, although he is super literary and famous, but he is romantic, too poetic and poetic, not a person who is atmospheric, you have to target Cao Pi and Cao Chong, especially Cao Chong, it is said that he is very smart and has the style of a father, and he must not stay" Yuan Xi said coldly.

"No!"

Yuan Xi slowly stood up, walked in front of Ling Hujun, and said softly: "Gongzhi, you remember a sentence, no matter what others say, as long as you believe in you, you will have endless rights, boundless wealth, don't have any constraints, let go and do it"

"Thank you, King Longen, you will definitely take Cao Zhi's life in five days," Ling Hujun immediately said excitedly.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news, let's go," Yuan Xi ordered.

"No!"

After Ling Hujun left, Yuan Xi said to Zheng Chun on the side: "You go to the military commander and tell Zhang Nan that Cao Zhi has been selected by Jinyiwei, let them not interfere."

"No" Zheng Chun retreated.

Not long after, outside the military commander's yamen, Zhang Nan said goodbye to Zheng Chun with a smile, but when Zheng Chun just got in the car and left, Zhang Nan's face instantly became ugly and scary.

"Immediately pass the order, I want to know what preparations Jinyiwei has made during this time, and he can assassinate Cao Zhi" Zhang Nan said solemnly, it has only been two months, Jinyiwei has such strength, you must know that since Cao Cao, who knew the existence of the Dayan army, the protection of his family was extremely strict.

"No!"

"In addition, the four evils were ordered to get rid of Xun Yu in Yingchuan," Zhang Nan suddenly said in a cold tone.

"Commander, didn't you say that Xun Yu is talented, if you can, you will stay for the king" The subordinates next to him were suddenly surprised.

"I don't want to, but there must be a person with enough weight to erase the merits brought by Jinyiwei's assassination of Cao Zhi, the other three sons are still very miserable, only Xun Yu, although temporarily abandoned by Cao Cao, but he has great influence, and he is a person who is loyal to the Han family, there is no need to keep it, you tell that over there, you must disguise yourself as Cao Cao and not tolerate Xun Yu, and further mess up Cao Cao's rule, so as to have an effect" Zhang Nan instructed.

"No!"

Every day's things are often like this, because of the sudden attack of the Jinyi Guard, the military commander also hurriedly remedied, sometimes some talents, some capable people, not because the top wanted to kill them, but the battle below, so that they have no chance to display their talents in the future.

In other words, this is the cruelty of troubled times, many heroes, invincible on the battlefield, are indeed no match for a cold arrow in the dark.
