The dungeon of Yecheng is located in the north of the city, its depth is several zhang, a camp of Kuanyu, which is divided into thousands of prison doors, and its base is accumulated in several layers underground, which is vicious, the perennial yin tide is cold, isolated on the ground, it can be described as hell on earth, even if it is compared to the Wuji County where Yuan Shang was located in the year, the disgusting prison camp of the Wuji camp was first built, compared with here, it can be said that it is a small thing, and it cannot be said at all.

But things that have never been imagined, everything in the world, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the opposite disadvantages are advantageous, although the Yecheng dungeon is dark and lightless all the year round, almost isolated from the world, but it is precisely because of this unique condition that the battle of Yecheng caused by Xin Ping has not affected here, how should the prisoners in the prison live every day or how to live, even if there are earth-shaking changes outside, for them here, it is also like mosquito bites, dispensable, itchy and comfortable. Unless someone deliberately wants to spread information from the outside world, it is a place of seclusion.

However, it is a significant day for the dungeon today!

The prison where Cao Zhen was imprisoned was the lowest level of the Yecheng dungeon, and it was also the strongest and darkest layer of isolation from the outside world.

At this time, Cao Zhen was unkempt, sitting in the corner of the damp wall, looking at the flames on the torches outside the wooden fence in a daze.

Unkempt and full of dry bones, he can't remember how long he's been here, a year? Two years? Five years? Decade? He didn't know that there was no sun, moon and stars in the dungeon, day and night were the same. No one spoke to him, and there was no concept of time, even if there was no torture, but this kind of mental torture mixed with sitting and death was more crazy than torture, and sometimes Cao Zhen even hoped that someone would torture him, at least so that someone could talk to him. Let him know that it hurts, let him know that it hurts, and let him know that it is afraid. Instead of mixing in with a living dead like this, spending the rest of your life in this darkness.

Cao Zhen is also a mentally strong person, so he will be someone else. This has been in the past few years, basically either biting his tongue and committing suicide, or falling into madness, at this moment, although his mental power is urged to marry, but at least he still maintains a trace of clarity, a trace of reason, this alone is enough to make people in awe of him!

"Let's go! Come on! Let me in! ”

The long-lost angry scolding came to Cao Zhen's ears from the staircase of the dungeon, and immediately attracted all his attention. I saw a group of fierce jailers escorting a middle-aged man covered in blood and ragged clothes, led by a young scribe, dragging heavy handcuffs and shackles, slowly into the depths of the dungeon.

But I saw that a cell door next to Cao Zhen was gently opened. The young scribe flew up and kicked the middle-aged man directly into the prison, sneering at the middle-aged man with a sinister smile: "Trial, trial!" I think you rely on the grace of the lord on weekdays, run rampant and domineering, your eyes are above the top, and you treat my Xin family brothers as nothing. But now you are today? Hehe, the taste of this Yecheng dungeon is famous all over the world, you can give me a good squat here and taste it slowly! Hahaha~~~~"

But I saw the middle-aged man who was thrown into the dungeon trembling and stood up, pointed at the young scribe and said angrily: "Phew! Simbi, Hugh is arrogant! Your brothers of the Xin family killed the lord and seized power, betrayed the lord, and committed this great injustice! The sky has eyes, and sooner or later you brothers will be punished——! ”

"Hahaha~~~! Retribution? Hehe, thank you for the reminder, but before I talk about my brother's retribution," Simbites shook his hair and sneered: "You better take care of yourself first, don't worry about that idleness!" Hahaha~~~"

In the prison not far away, Cao Zhen, who had a withered face, held the door railing, looking at the situation in the distance in a daze, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he also knew in his heart that something big must have happened in Yecheng! That judge was an important minister under Yuan Shao's account, how could he suddenly be escorted here? And then who is that Simbi? But I haven't heard of it! …,

Just as he was puzzled, he saw that Xin Bi had taken care of the matching, turned around and asked the jailer beside him, "Where is the prison where Cao Zhen is held?" Lead me there! ”

"No! My lord, it's over here! ”

The movements of several people were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they crackled and untied the iron rope of the wooden fence of Cao Zhen's cell, but it frightened Cao Zhen, and he flashed to the corner of the wall tremblingly, and looked at Simbi who strode into the meteor in horror.

Xin Bi entered the cell, and he was not verbose, he stepped forward first, leaned over and bowed, and said, "In Xia Xin Bi, see Cao Gongzi!" ”

At that time, Cao Zhen was Cao Cao's righteous son, and he was reasonable, and his name should be commensurate with his son.

Since the Battle of Cangting, Cao Zhen has been imprisoned in the dungeon of Yecheng for nearly two years, and his perennial claustrophobic life has caused him to speak a little stiffly.

"Who are you?" Cao Zhen hesitated, and stumbled to ask this sentence.

When Xin Bi heard this, he smiled and said: "Hui Cao Gongzi, he is a major minister of Hebei, the younger brother of Xin Ping, Xin Bi!" On the secret order of my brother and Cao Sikong, I specially came to pick up Cao Gongzi out of the dungeon, Cao Gongzi, if you have anything to say, let's go out and talk about leaving! ”

Although Cao Zhen was a little ignorant at the moment, when he heard that he could be fished, his spirit suddenly lifted, and he couldn't take much care of it, so he hurriedly got up and followed him out of the dungeon under the guidance of Xin Ping.

Because he stayed in the dungeon for too long, in order to prevent blindness caused by not being able to adapt to the sunlight when he came out, Cao Zhen's eyes were covered with a thin cloth, and he sat in a carriage, carrying him all the way to the Taishou Mansion of Yecheng by Xinbi.

When he arrived at the mansion, Xin Bi sent people to bathe and change clothes for Cao Zhen, arranged wine and food, and invited a group of Yecheng "rebel generals" to drink together.

At that time, the cloth on Cao Zhen's face had been removed, and his eyes gradually became visible, looking at a series of generals and Xin Bi who were surrounding the hall, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Xin, after Cao Zhen was captured by Yuan Jun in the first battle of Pingqiu, all the affairs have been unknown since then, and today Mr. rescued him from the cage, I am really grateful, but because I have been imprisoned, I don't know about the general trend of the world and the things in Yecheng today, and I hope that Mr. is a good person to the end, and can tell everything, Cao Zhen is grateful." ”

Xin Bi had already prepared, and then sighed, from the battle of Pingqiu after Cao Zhen was captured, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought, was killed by Cheng Yu with an arrow, and then Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne after a battle in Qingzhou, lost the heart of Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, and then how to deceive the Lord of Weiwei from Cao Cao's hands, and then Guanzhong Zhong Xuan united Ma Teng and other princes to fight with it, and then gathered the power of the four states to compete with Cao Cao and Liyang, and then Cao Cao wooed Xin Ping, and promised them to disturb the rear of Yecheng with official positions

Xin Bi has been telling the truth, until this time it was out of shape, in his mouth, Xin Ping is not dead, Guo Tu is not counter, Yecheng has been in the hands of the Xin brothers, and Yuan Shang returned to the rescue, killed by an arrow, although the news has not yet spread, but it is true, the next thing is to hold Yecheng steadily, sit and wait for the Liyang army to become chaotic, you can attack before and after, and win with a drum like a tiger!
