The first thing he did was not to go to Le Jin to verify the truth of the matter, but to secretly contact the generals in the army who were close to him, and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Lejin's surrender, and secretly wrote a letter to Cao Pi, adding fuel to the news that Le Jin was secretly preparing to surrender from everyone, and ordered someone to send it to Cao Pi's hands overnight.

At this time, although Xiapi City did not directly encounter Zhao Yun's attack, but in the outer positions, the battle was also very fierce, the Chu army was defeated and retreated, these days have lost tens of thousands of people, after the news came, it was even more people's hearts, some officials in the court were also active, secretly contacted relatives and friends, determined not to repeat the mistakes of Xu Du, and secretly planned to surrender when the army of King Qin arrived, which made Cao Pi feel very bad now, and there was a fire all day long, almost venting to the water when he saw anyone.

And at this moment, I don't know when it started, a rumor was quietly circulating in the market that Lejin, the guard of Langya County, was secretly preparing to surrender to the enemy army in a dangerous situation.

"Humph! It's simply ridiculous, Le Wenqian has always been loyal to me, how could he have the idea of surrendering? This is definitely the enemy's counter-plot, can't you see such a simple trick? ”

When someone secretly reported this rumor to Cao Pi, Cao Pi sneered and reprimanded the person who reported it.

However, early the next morning, Cao Cao's face showed a suspicious look, because on his desk was a letter from his confidant minister Jiang Gan, in which Jiang Gan exposed the conspiracy of Lejin's imminent surrender in a very positive tone, and even explored the time and place of the connection between the two sides, and asked Cao Pi to agree that he had the power to deal with the matter urgently, otherwise, once Lejin succeeded, Xiapicheng would face the situation of Zhao Yun and Liyi being sandwiched in two directions. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on for three days.

"Jiang Gan is one of the most capable talents under my command, he has always been relied on by me, and he is an upright person, and he will never slander the generals in the army at will, so is Lejin really suspected of surrendering? I need to be cautious about this, because if you make a wrong decision, the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Cao Pi thought about it secretly, and felt that he still couldn't act recklessly, and he needed to send a steady and meticulous person to Langya to investigate the matter well, and he must not wronged the good people, and of course he must not let go of the bad people.

But I didn't expect that at this moment, I saw the henchman guard Zhan Fei come to the front, his face was very unpleasant, and he couldn't help asking: "Zhan Fei, why is your expression so abnormal, could it be that you are sick?" ”

I saw Zhan Fei shaking his head and saying: "Actually, as long as the country is safe and sound, even if the last general is sick, it is nothing, but the key now is, alas, if you don't say it, it will only increase sadness and anger." ”

"What the hell is going on? Say it. Cao Pi saw Zhan Fei talking in a hurry, and the anger in his heart immediately came up, and he shouted in a deep voice.

I saw Zhan Fei shudder, thought silently for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Still don't say it, right?" This is not good news, the lord is in a bad mood, and if he hears about this, he will definitely be angry. ”

"If you want to say it, just say, where did you get all this nonsense? Besides, what hasn't this king experienced? You've been with me for so many years, have you ever seen this king be struck down by any news? ”

"No! In this case, the last general said", Zhan Fei gritted his teeth, and then said with a guilty face: "First of all, please forgive the lord, last night the last general was resting, I don't know where a thief came, that person was light-handed, the last general slept and died, he didn't even notice it at all, he woke up this morning and found that fortunately he didn't lose anything, but the strange thing is that there was an extra letter on the last general's bookcase, this letter, this letter turned out to be ......"

"What is it?" Seeing Zhanfei's hesitant appearance, Cao Pi was extremely impatient in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"Alas, the lord should see for himself."

Zhanfei didn't say anything more, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Cao Pi's hand.

Cao Pi took the letter in surprise, and found that it was actually a letter written by Le Jin to Ko Yi, this letter was written in a hurry, and there were many places that were smeared, it was obviously the first draft of the letter, and I believe that what was handed to Ko Yi later must be a neat and final version of the copy.

"Presented to the koji assassin Shi Taijian, the last general was originally Hanchen, because of the grace of Cao Gong, this is the heart to repay, but unexpectedly Cao Pi rebelled against his father's will, Gaozu testament, actually forced the Son of Heaven to be the king, rebellious, betraying humanity, deeply hateful, the end of the general has already surrendered, how can there be a lot of constraints around him, can not act for a while, now the other party has relaxed slightly, the end will take this opportunity to the King of Qin and the envoy to express his sincerity, but also hope to make the king make a quick decision, so as not to ......change later."

Cao Pi's own literary attainments are not low, and he also has a study of calligraphy, and he can see at a glance that this is indeed Le Jin's handwriting, and he was immediately furious, and scolded loudly: "I thought he was a loyal man, but I didn't expect to be so shameless, what a traitor, he stabbed me when I needed you the most, fortunately I found it early, otherwise wouldn't I have been harmed by you, a traitor?" ”

This is only to see Zhanfei said: "King, as an important minister of the country, how could General Le betray easily? Should we seriously investigate and investigate, and if we directly conclude that he is treasonous, is it a bit arbitrary......

"Humph! The evidence of this matter is conclusive, where is the need to investigate again? This letter was written by Le Wenqian, and there will definitely be no fake, how could this king mistake his handwriting? Cao Pi snorted and said coldly.

In fact, Cao Pi did not mistake Le Jin's handwriting, this was indeed written by Le Jin, because this is the letter written by Le Jin to Ko Yi, but in order to make people look like a draft, Ko Yi smeared on the letter again, and crumpled it, creating a false impression that it was discarded, how did Cao Pi know about these twists and turns? After listening to Jiang Gan's report before, he already had a trace of doubts, but now when he saw Lejin's handwritten letter, he naturally had no doubts and directly concluded that Lejin was treasonous.

So Cao Pi immediately ordered someone to secretly send an order to Jiang Gan, let Jiang Gan serve as the Taishou of Langya, oversee the military and political power, and wait for the opportunity to capture and kill the traitor Lejin.

At the same time, Cao Pi ordered Zhanfei to immediately send troops to Lejin's mansion to put his family in prison and wait for disposal.
