Li Yangao sat in the hall, playing with a jade Ruyi that was as verdant as a bamboo, and looked at the young man in front of him who was talking eloquently, his eyes flickering.

Jade Ruyi came from the south.

Jade is a rare jadeite in the Central Plains, the color is verdant and pleasant, such as green bamboo in mid-spring, verdant and dripping, but there is no trace of variegation, it is a rare jade Ruyi. Of course, such a haode jade Ruyi is worth a lot of money, but Li Yan likes this jade Ruyi, not just because of the value, but because this jade Ruyi was given by Wei Ba.

There are talented people from the north.

This handsome young man is called Yinfan, just twenty-three years old this year, a native of Qingzhou, who has just come to Chengdu to ask to see the hussar general Li Yan. His eloquence is brilliant and he has seen people, and Li Yan is happy to see the hunt. However, this man was a descendant, and he had to be careful.

The use of people is a very jishu thing, if used well, it can gather people's hearts and attract more talents, and Corporal Lixian is an important quality of the ruler. But if it is not used well, or even if it falls into a fraud scheme, then it will be a big trouble. There are many such examples, and there are far away Huang Gai's deception, which burned Cao Cao's dream of the world. Recently, Wei Ba surrendered and seized Guanzhong in one fell swoop, completely reversing the pattern of the world.

Yinbo is a talent, if he can take it for his own use, he can add a boost and add points in the process of fighting for power with Zhuge Liang. But if Yinbo is a fraud, reusing Yinbo is undoubtedly jumping into the fire pit by himself.

How to confirm whether the Hidden Treasure was a fraudulent surrender or a real surrender has become a problem. Before it is confirmed, not using a young celebrity like Yinfan will also affect his fame. Let him lose hearts.

Li Yan hesitated.

Seeing that Li Yan had not responded to his words, and had not shown the intention of soliciting, Yinbo was a little disappointed, bowed down, and turned to leave.

Li Yan was silent, watching Yinbo disappear outside the door, and then winked. Hu Zhong nodded, turned around and followed.

Yin Fan went out of the Hussar General's Mansion and went straight out of the city, when he passed the Jiajiang Bridge. He stopped. Enjoying the beautiful scenery by the river, he sighed softly. Peng Heng, who pretended to be a coolie, carried a bag of goods on his back, passed by him, and passed by. The two exchanged a look. Yin Fan smiled. Turn around and walk towards the west of the city.

Far away. A middle-aged man with an ordinary face and simple clothes followed him unhurriedly until he walked into Li Miao's courtyard.

……

"Li Miao?" Li Yan's eyebrows slowly raised. A smile that makes you wonder what it means. What is the situation of Li Miao, Li Yan knows very well, the last time he came to Jiangzhou to be a lobbyist, Li Yan saw through him at a glance, and later learned that Li Miao had received a benefit from the Wei family, and Li Yan almost laughed at his belly. In his opinion, both ends of this matter understand what is going on, but the middleman Li Miao is inexplicable.

Li Miao is really not a person who can play conspiracy, and his relationship with the Peng family is also obvious, it is obvious that this Yin Bo is not so simple from the Wei State, at least he has a connection with the Peng family. Zhuge Qiao's death, Li Miao's demotion and the escape of Wei Ba's maid Peng Xiaoyu are not secrets at Li Yan's level.

"Could it be that Wei Guo wants to borrow my strength?" Li Yan sneered: "They can't help but underestimate me too much." ”

"General, what should we do then?"

"Don't worry, let him dry for a while." Li Yan's eyes tightened: "In addition, send someone to monitor Li Miao to see who he is in contact with, and then make a calculation." ”

……

Peng Heng and Chen Ming once again came to the outside of the small courtyard, and with their skills, those who were secretly spying on Li Miao's small courtyard certainly couldn't escape their eyes. Chen Ming was watching the wind outside, and Peng Heng avoided the eyes of the monitors, jumped into the small courtyard, and went straight to Li Miao's residence.

Yinbo opened the door and ushered Peng Heng in. In the dark, Li Miao sat in front of the desk, his face a little pale.

"What's the matter, because of those dogs outside the door?"

Li Miao nodded.

"Don't be afraid." Peng Heng smiled slightly: "If Li Yan didn't want to cause trouble, he could have done it to you a long time ago." Now it's just surveillance, which means that he still wants to use you. ”

Yin Fan echoed: "Yes, judging from what I have learned now, it is obvious that there is no compromise between Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, but Li Yan took advantage of the situation. According to the news from Guanzhong before, Zhuge Liang was cautious in his use of troops, and even Zhang He couldn't find his flaws for a while. The time dragged on for too long was very unfavorable to us, and we had to find a way to invite Zhuge Liang back to Chengdu. ”

"Is Li Yanneng willing to let Zhuge Liang return to Chengdu?" Peng Heng asked rhetorically: "From his point of view, of course, I hope that Zhuge Liang will be in Guanzhong, so that he can monopolize power in Chengdu." ”

"This is simple, if Zhuge Liang is defeated in Guanzhong, then there will be no threat for him to return to Chengdu." Yin Fan smiled: "I think this result, Li Yan will definitely be happy to see it." ”

Peng Heng smiled: "Then it depends on what you say about him." ”

"I have my own way of this." Yin Fan said confidently: "The basic situation has been judged, and I will send the news back to Wancheng as soon as possible." What about you? It's not safe here, so let's get out of here. ”

Peng Heng's eyes tightened: "I'm going to Lingling." ”

Yin Fan asked without thinking, "Weishenme?" ”

"This is not only a contest between Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, but Wei Ba of Lingling is also a problem for Great Wei. How he stands in this matter could be crucial to Zuihou's outcome. ”

Yin Fan glanced at Peng Heng: "It's okay, then you should be careful." Let Chen Ming go with you, and the two of them will take care of each other. ”

"Whoa." Peng Heng bowed down to receive the order, said a few more words, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, met Chen Ming, and walked away.

……

Cao Rui gently put down the pale yellow bamboo paper, looked at Cao Zhi who was sitting opposite, stroked the gold-belted jade pillow on the case, and suddenly had a little more warmth in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang's article is really still so beautiful." Cao Rui sniffed and wiped away a teardrop from the corner of his eye with a handkerchief. "It's just that the name is inappropriate, so let's change it."

Cao Zhi exhaled lightly, and said a little reluctantly: "What do you think it's good to change to?" ”

"Since she is the god of Luoshui, let's call it "Luo Shen Fu", I hope that her spirit in the sky can no longer be disturbed by the filth of the human world, as Wang Shufu said."

Cao Zhi thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Just follow Bixia." ”

Cao Rui said again: "I also left this gold and jade pillow." Although it is out of affection and courtesy, it is not enough for outsiders after all. The first emperor was casual at the beginning, and I am a son of man, but I can't do this. Please forgive Uncle Wang for any inconvenience. ”

Cao Zhi's eyes showed reluctance, he looked at the jade pillow that emitted a soft luster under the lamp, and was silent for a long time. Cao Rui took in his eyes, his heart softened, his mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything. He immediately pulled the topic away: "Uncle Wang, after you arrive at Tongguan, what do you decide to do?" ”

Cao Zhi coughed and retracted his thoughts: "Zhang He is a famous general in my country, and he is a wonderful soldier, so he doesn't need to say anything. But it is precisely because of his prestige that Zhuge Liang will treat him with heavy troops. One attack and one defense, stalemate, is not good for our army. Although there is a transfer of rice from Jiaozhou, it is a large consumption of thousands of miles of grain, which can only save a temporary emergency, and cannot be used as a long-term plan. Therefore, the minister hoped to break the deadlock in Guanzhong, lead the troops of Tongguan to cross the Dragon Gate, attack Huanglong Mountain, and take Haoyang directly, following the example of Emperor Wu at that time to take Guanzhong. If Zhuge Liang's main force can be attracted to the east, then Zhang He may be able to find an opportunity to break through to Guanzhong......"

Looking at Cao Zhi, who was like a river and pointing out the country, Cao Rui was a little distracted, he looked at Cao Zhi in a daze, and suddenly said: "Uncle Wang, you didn't fight back then?" If you want to fight, the first emperor can't fight you. ”

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Rui in surprise, and after a while, he silently withdrew his eyes and sighed softly: "There are two reasons why I don't fight: one is that I don't like this kind of life, and the other is that your mother hopes that you can succeed to the throne." His eyes drifted away, and his expression was so lonely: "I thought that I would be able to stay out of the matter and be at ease if I was crazy, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't be spared." ”

"Do you regret it?"

"I regret it." Cao Zhi met Cao Rui's vigilant gaze and said lightly: "I shouldn't have fought at the beginning, but since I did, I shouldn't have given up halfway." Otherwise, King Ren Cheng would not have died at the hands of his compatriots. Bixia, if there is the king of Rencheng, just against Shu, why do you need Bixia to go to the army? The feudal kings were originally the royal families of the feudal clans, but now they are like prisoners, but outsiders are allowed to take advantage of the situation, doesn't it hurt the feudal meaning of the saints? ”

Cao Rui nodded silently: "I understand what Uncle Wang means." You can go without worry, I won't hinder you. ”

"Bixia is wise." Cao Zhi bowed and bowed again, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms, and sent it to Cao Rui with both hands. Cao Rui took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This is a letter asking for seclusion, followed by the children of the clan that Cao Zhi thinks are worth cultivating, and suggests that Cao Rui recruit him to his side and give him a heavy responsibility.

"Uncle Wang, why go into hiding?"

"Bixia, the minister is not going to go into hiding now." Cao Zhi said earnestly: "If you go, the battlefield is dangerous, and it is difficult to ensure everything." The minister has the heart of death, and the enemy is around, if you invite the luck of the sky, you can have an inch of merit to repay bixia, and it is very fortunate to be sincere. At that time, I only wish Bixia to give me a rich and famous mountain, and I will be able to live for a long time. If you are unfortunately killed in battle, you can also meet your father and brother under the Nine Springs, and you will be worthy of your heart. ”

Cao Rui understood, he carefully folded the paper and put it on his chest.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will summon these people you recommend immediately. I also hope that Uncle Wang will go, take care of his body, and think of the country. ”

"Yui!" Cao Zhi avoided the table, bowed three times, and Zuihou glanced at the gold-belted jade pillow on the case once, got up and exited the big tent.

Listening to Cao Zhi's footsteps gradually disappearing, Cao Rui stroked his chest, picked up the gold belt jade pillow and hugged it in his arms, and suddenly tears fell like rain, and he couldn't cry.

"Mother, Uncle Wang, I was born in the emperor's family." …… (To be continued......)
