When Bian asked to see him, the chamberlain took the initiative to avoid it.

Cao Cao hurriedly smiled and said, "Why are you here?" It's been a long journey, and it's the road, so it's better to take a break and have a meal together later. ”

The old husband and wife naturally have nothing to greet politely, but Cao Cao's attitude is very soft this time.

Bian's face did not show any special look, he was always gentle and smiling, and said, "Actually, not only me came over this time, but also Sister Ding and Sister Xu. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and said, "What are they doing here?" ”

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Xu are both Cao Cao's wives and concubines, but they are ex-wives. Because of his incompatible personality, he has been given a break by Cao Cao. said that the personalities were incompatible, just because considering that the two sons of the Bian family, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, were too good, and the Ding family and the Xu family did not have anything to do, so they took a break to make way for the Bian family.

Although they were retired, Dante and Xu still lived in Cao Cao's house, and the Bian family was also quite friendly to them, and everyone was called sisters. This is also where Bian's cleverness lies, treating Ding and Xu well, and not dominating her husband's favor on herself, which makes the man's heart quite comfortable, but he loves her even more. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, including Cao Zhang, Cao Chong's sons, are so good, and the reason why they are so good also has a lot to do with such a mother with high emotional intelligence.

Bian Shi heard Cao Cao's inquiry, so he smiled indifferently: "Husband forgot, today is the sacrifice day of Ziyu and Anmin?" We all came to pay tribute to our husbands. ”

Cao Cao scratched his head, but said with some surprise: "Oh? Is it? I forgot. ”

Zi Yu was Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin, the son of Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De, died together, and both of them were on the same day. It's not on these days, but it's the same month. Bian cleverly took advantage of Cao Cao's problem of forgetting his days, brought up the matter, and rushed to Yecheng justifiably.

Cao Ang was not the son of Bian, but was born to the late Liu, who was the maid of Cao Cao's wife, Ding. Back then, Cao Cao and the Ding family got married, and they were a good match, but Cao Cao didn't like the Ding family very much, and later accepted the beautiful Liu family as a concubine by the way, and the Liu family gave birth to a son. But Liu died after giving birth to Cao Ang, and Cao Cao felt a little guilty about this concubine. When Cao Ang died to protect him, Cao Cao's guilt was even greater.

At this time, Bian took out Liu's as a shield, and Cao Cao was moved and said, "Let's go, then hurry up." ”

Cao Cao walked to the door, patted his head, and said, "Call Dian Wei's family too." Oh...... They should have come here at Xu Wu. "Although Dian Wei is a rough man, he has a good relationship with Cao Cao, and he has been born and died several times in the early stage, and has formed a deep friendship.

Bian said as he walked: "I have sent all the gifts of the Dian, and I have also seen his son Dianman." ”

Cao Cao said: "How is this kid? ”

Bian said: "He is a loyal and righteous man, who is practicing martial arts diligently, and is ready to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"Huh."

The husband and wife chatted for a few words, and Cao Cao suddenly said: "Zihuan's matter ......"

Bian immediately said: "Life and death are fate, everything depends on the husband......

She is such a submissive person, although she is in a hurry to save her son, but at this moment, she also maintains Cao Cao's majesty, and orders her husband to do this and that without yelling.

Cao Cao's face was slightly red, and the thoughts he had just about Zhen Ji immediately eliminated his mind, and said, "Don't worry, Zihuan is my son, and I naturally want him to come back completely." ”

Bian nodded and did not speak.

Cao Cao said so, and did so, and immediately called Cao Zhen over, and Wu Zhen was also released from prison, and the two of them began to exchange hostages.

At this time, as Yuan Xi went north, it was only when Yuan Xi arrived in Yijing that he received news from Cao Cao.

"Oh? Hostage swaps? Yuan Xi was quite surprised, he thought that Zhen Ji would not be able to save him, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to let go. It's not that Cao Pi is not important to Cao Cao, it's just that the exchange of hostages is too difficult when the two armies are fighting.

Neither side trusts the other, what if one side sets a trap? If it was in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was still such a thing as hostages, but after the Warring States period, basically no one took hostages seriously. Even if the son of the king goes to another country as a hostage, when it is time to give it up, he must give it up. The king of a country is most taboo to be swayed by private feelings.

So with Cao Cao's old spiciness, Yuan Xi originally had no hope. At this time, he received the news, but he was not happy, he subconsciously still wondered if the other party had a conspiracy.

In this day and age, it is not easy to exchange a letter, and it is not possible to discuss and negotiate with both parties like a phone call. It is impossible for Cao Cao's side to let a heavyweight like Cao Zhen come to die, he is just a lobbyist with very little authority.

What he threw out was a plan drawn up in advance, to exchange hostages outside the city of Xindu, and agreed that after twenty days, he hoped that in the near future, both sides would treat the hostages well, especially not to cut off their fingers.

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Yes." You tell Cao Cao that if Zhen Ji loses a hair, Cao Pi will have to lose a finger. In addition, there are also Mrs. Liu and Yuan Fu, who also have to be exchanged together. ”

Came to say: "Mrs. Liu can, but I haven't seen Yuan Fu." ”

Yuan Xi was a little puzzled: "Haven't you seen it?" Perhaps the old man was not too conspicuous and fled in the chaos. But where can others go? At this time, he had not yet contacted Gao Mian, and since Cao Cao obtained Yecheng, the contact was broken. Whether it's Gao Mian or Diao Chan, he doesn't know the situation now.

The visitor got the letter and returned to Yecheng to ask for instructions. This hostage swap this time seems very strange, and both sides have no experience.

Yuan Xi instructed the General Staff Headquarters, "Quickly draw up a plan around Xindu to ensure that people can be brought back." This time, I will personally lead the troops to select the most elite troops. ”

Tian Chou said: "Cao Cao has always been cunning, he can't guess with common sense, maybe it's a conspiracy, and the second son can't go." ”

Yuan Xi said fiercely: "If you dare to yin me, I will let his son die without a place to be buried." ”

When he spoke, he said it in front of Cao Pi, and he was terrified when he heard this tortured son.

The General Staff collected information on the terrain and sent spies to check on the situation to ensure that no large forces were approaching. A detailed plan has also been drawn up.

Cao Cao's side was not prepared, but Cao Cao's side was even more excessive, in addition to rescuing Cao Pi, he also asked Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rider to prepare and prepare to fight back when the time came.
