In the city of Xuchang, Cao Cao's palace of King Wei.

There was a letter on Cao Cao's desk, which Ao Lie had written before he set out on the expedition, but it was deliberately delayed for half a month and sent over.

Originally, before receiving this letter, Cao Cao was ready to start a war, taking advantage of Ao Lie's time on the battlefield in Yizhou, to launch an attack on Jizhou, Cao Cao is a peerless hero, he is not willing to sit still, once Liu Bei is eliminated, that world, only he Cao Cao and Sun Ce are left with two independent armed groups, but Sun Ce and Ao Lie are together, still in Jiangdong, with the Yangtze River natural danger, he can't do anything to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce can attack himself at any time, Who let his subordinates not have a navy that can dominate the world? And this is exactly what Jiangdong Army is good at.

In the state of preparation for war on the outside and on the inside, the 300,000 troops of Wei have been assembled, and if Tian Feng came one day later, maybe Cao Cao would have led his troops to the expedition, but Tian Feng came just right, just like hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and his grasp of the timing was extremely accurate. Moreover, he also followed Ao Lie's instructions and brought Cao Cao a gift that he couldn't resist - the delicate and bewitching Himiko. On the one hand, he wanted to send troops as soon as possible to grab a few counties in Jizhou, expand his territory, and enrich his strength; But on the other hand, Himiko's glamorous name made him itch and scratch his heart, and he couldn't wait to meet this beautiful and famous Fuso queen all over the world, and see if he was as beautiful as the legend.

Therefore, Cao Cao was very conflicted now, and looked up at the people around him, hoping that they could help him make a decision: "Let's talk about it, Ao Lie sent someone to show goodwill, and also sent Queen Fusang as a gift." What are we going to do? ”

Cheng Yu and Xun You stood up at the same time, Cheng Yu said first: "King, Ao Lie is now powerful, once he destroys Yizhou Liu Bei, he will have more wings, if we want to survive, we must seize this opportunity and strive to take Jizhou over, otherwise, wait for Liu Bei to be destroyed." Ao Lie turns his gun against us, and we will be helpless! ”

Xun You added: "That's right, Ao Lie's expedition to Yizhou this time, took away many famous generals and ministers, and the four elites under his command were exhausted, it is a good time for our army to attack Jizhou, the king must not be suspicious and miss the opportunity!" ”

Listening to Cheng Yu and Xun You's words, Cao Cao was noncommittal. Just said: "Well, it makes sense, do other people have any opinions?" ”

Opposite Cheng Yu and Xun You, Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers. The three of them stood up together, stating that they had the same position as Cheng Yu, and asked Cao Cao to ignore Ao Lie's envoy Tian Feng and set out for Jizhou as soon as possible. Cao Cao's words to this group of henchmen. Again, he was noncommittal, and continued to solicit the opinions of others.

When the officials expressed their opinions one after another, Xi Zhicai had already seen it. Cao Cao's heart has been shaken at this moment, Himiko has played a role consistent with her fame, and the other point is Tian Feng's reason, Tian Feng is famous for his stinky temper, upright, and when he was serving under Yuan Shao, he repeatedly committed crimes, causing Yuan Shao to love and hate him, and later switched to Ao Lie's command, and his style of action did not converge in the slightest, but under Ao Lie's help, his eyes were even more intolerant of sand, and sent such a person to be a messenger, it can be seen that Ao Lie's attitude is very resolute, that is, he is hinting at Cao Cao, If you accept the gift of Himiko, you will stop and stay in Xuchang to enjoy it; But if you accept Himihu while still planning to capture Jizhou, then you must be ready to break the bloodstream, you must know that Xu Huang and Zhang He, who stayed in Jizhou, are all famous generals in the world, and there are more think tanks like Xu Shu from the side to give advice, but it is not so easy to break the defense line of Jizhou.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, in his heart, he also agreed to send troops, no matter how difficult Jizhou is, after all, now Ao Lie and many of his famous generals and ministers are not in the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, now is the best time to launch an attack, if Ao Lie's victorious squad returns to Yanjing, and wants to attack Jizhou, the difficulty will increase tenfold! Besides, let Ao Lie develop and grow, for Cao Wei, it is to sit back and wait to die, and when the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty is strong enough, sooner or later he will swing a fatal knife to Cao Wei, it is better to fight to the death than to be killed, this truth, presumably Cao Cao himself knows it very well, but now Cao Cao was frightened by Ao Lie's tough attitude, and he couldn't make up his mind, and he also played a certain role in calling this stunner in the world, which affected Cao Cao's mind from the side. It would be good if Guo Jia was still there, with Cao Cao's respect for Guo Jia, he would definitely be able to persuade Cao Cao to strengthen his determination and lead the army to the battle, but unfortunately, Guo Jia is now terminally ill, and the medicine stone is ineffective, so he can only lie helplessly in bed every day, waiting for death to approach day by day.

As soon as he thought of Guo Jia, Xi Zhi suddenly had a plan, stood up and said, "King! Today's situation, in fact, someone has already expected it, that is Guo Fengxiao. In the past, Feng Xiao had been loyal to the words, Ao Lie's wings are getting fuller, sooner or later it is a problem for our country's henchmen, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to give it a go, Zhong today wants to petition for Guo Fengxiao on the sickbed, please ask the king to go to Jizhou! ”

Hearing Xi Zhicai mention Guo Jia's name, Cao Cao's heart sank, he was very important to Guo Jia, he didn't need to speak, when he thought of Guo Jia working hard for state affairs, he fell ill in bed and waited for death, Cao Cao's heart was like a knife.

Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two generals who had recently joined Cao Cao's command, stood up just right and said in unison: "Please ask the king to go to Jizhou, and two people are willing to be the vanguard of the army!" ”

Under the persuasion of a group of civil and military officials, Cao Cao finally decided to go to Jizhou, but the date of the expedition was set three days later, because he wanted to meet Tian Feng and tell him the illusion that he was going to die down, so that Xu Huang, Zhang He and others who were guarding Jizhou relaxed their vigilance. By the way, Cao Cao also wanted to enjoy the exotic Fusang Queen Himiko during these three days.

Immediately, Tian Feng was brought into the palace of the king of Wei, and Cao Cao had a conversation for two hours, in the conversation, Cao Cao did not have the slightest murderous intention in his words, and Tian Feng talked and laughed freely, during which he also asked the Fusang queen Himiko several times, how beautiful it was, it seemed that he couldn't wait to see Himiko.

Tian Feng did not disappoint Cao Cao, and after he returned to the post house, he immediately sent someone to send Himiko over to serve Cao Cao, and after the last, the conversation ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Cao Cao personally sent Tian Feng to the door of the hall, which is very courteous, which can be seen.

Tian Feng returned to the post house, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came over and asked, "My lord, do you have any orders?" Tian Feng glanced at the servant, his eyes obviously showed a little surprise, but he quickly disappeared, pretending to be indifferent and said, "Go and boil water in the kettle and send it to my room." ”

A moment later, the middle-aged servant walked into Tian Feng's room with a pot of boiling water, and after closing the door, he stood up straight, and his lofty bearing was revealed from his body, where was there still the slightest servant?

Tian Feng turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice: "Wen Wei! You are so bold, you dare to come to Xuchang in disguise! The shadow under your command has just killed many of Cao Cao's spies, causing Cao Cao to lose the first move, and if he is recognized by his men, you will be dead! ”

Li Ruman smiled nonchalantly: "Don't say that Cao Cao's waste subordinates, even Cao Cao passed me in person, and he may not be able to recognize who I am, don't forget, the shadow is mercury, pervasive, this disguise makeup technique, if our shadow thinks that he is the second in the world, who can be the first?" ”

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this, shook his head helplessly and said: "Even so, you shouldn't take risks lightly, you are different from me, I am a messenger, the two countries will not fight each other, Cao Cao will not do anything to me, but you ......"

Li Ru waved his hand to interrupt Tian Feng's words, sat down beside Tian Feng, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I came this time, it was the order of the two Xiangguo, they were afraid that your temper was too strong and you couldn't handle this matter well, so they asked me to come over to assist you. Getting back to business, how is it, what is Cao Cao's thoughts now? ”

Hearing that it was Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who asked Li Ru to come, Tian Feng didn't say anything anymore, thought about it, and replied: "In my opinion, Cao Cao is probably still going to send troops, and most of the illusion that Cao Jun is dying down is deliberately made for us to see. ”

When Li Ru heard this, the expression on his face froze, and he said in a low voice: "This is not good news, if Cao Cao sends troops, it will definitely cause a shocking change, we are now insufficient in strength, we can only defend passively, and wait for King Yan to destroy Liu Bei before we can have the power to counterattack, no, we have to think of a way to delay the time for Cao Cao to send troops, and buy some time for Xu Gongming and Zhang Junyi." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said: "That's right, I will send Himiko to Cao Cao later, and with Himiko's charm, I may be able to delay Cao Cao for a few days." ”

"This is not enough, I still have to give Cao Cao some fierce information in secret, and kill several of his henchmen and advisers......" Li Ru slowly stood up and muttered. (To be continued......)
