A stone stirred up a thousand waves, Xin Ping's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, hitting Guo Tu's chest hard, almost shattering his spirit, a face that became like a red tide due to drunkenness, instantly turned pale, and the cold sweat of the bean ran down his forehead and cheeks, and penetrated into his neck drop by drop.

"You're crazy!"

Guo Tu lowered his voice and roared at Xin Ping: "You dare to tell me such a rebellious word?" Abandon Yuan Tou Cao, you can also say the loss?! Believe it or not, I'm going to judge that you idiot! ”

Xin Ping's face did not change at all, he just looked at Guo Tu and sneered, and said, "What, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Guo Wenze, now that the eldest prince has fallen, you and I are in an embarrassing situation, although there is no danger of life, but it is only temporary, because Yuan Shang's reputation in Hebei is still unstable, if there is no reason, you can't move the family, even if he got a letter from the eldest prince last time, he didn't do anything, but you and I have nothing to do for three years, no matter for five years, it is difficult to guarantee that after ten or twenty years, Yuan Shang's prestige in Hebei has reached the peak, and even after surpassing the old lord, do you say he will not move you and me? ”

As Xin Ping finished speaking, Guo Tu's face became even more pale, and his hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and light and darkness were intertwined, showing that his heart was shaken beyond words.

"You said that you surrendered to Cao Cao, but this is purely your own wishful thinking, who is Cao Cao? What Cao Cao wants, whether he can accept you and me, is completely his own speculation! ”

Xin Ping shook his head with a smile and said, "If it is really my own assumption." How dare you come and talk to you in detail at will, I can't hide it! Cao Jun's sergeant sacrificed wine Guo Jia, and the day before yesterday he had sent someone to quietly find me, and invited me to join Cao with the intention of sealing the marquis and reusing it! I miss you, like me, as well as the confidants of the former eldest prince, so I sincerely invite you to join us. Guo Gongze, the opportunity of life is all in a moment, once missed. I can't regret it! ”

Guo Tu trembled when he heard this, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Now the Lord is facing Cao Cao's army in Liyang. The two sides have mixed victories and defeats, and they are mutually restrained, with Cao Cao's heroic temperament, at this moment, they will win you over, and there will definitely be a plot! Don't you know the way? ”

Xin Ping sneered: "No merit is not punished, this is the common sense of the world, what is the wonder? If we want to be reused by Cao Sikong, we should make meritorious deeds, and we think that we are close to our assets. ”

Guo Tu's lips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "What does Cao Cao want you to do?" ”

Cold wind and cold moon. The icy turbidity waves can't match the cold glow in Xin Ping's eyes at this moment

"Kill the trial match, take Ye City!"

"Puff~~!" Guo Tu's body was crooked, and he almost didn't fall off the kneeling of the wine shop.

Liyang, Yuan Shangjun's camp.

"My lord. The scattered troops sent by the Cao army to the rear of our army to invade Aocang Tuntian have all been completely completed! ”

Inside the tent, Sima Yi was reporting the results to Yuan Shang with a happy face.

Yuan Shang quietly stared at the sand table, nodded slowly, and smiled at Sima Yi: "Thanks to a few of you disguised as Cao Jun, you were able to break Cao Cao's poisonous plan in one fell swoop, and this time I worked hard." When I go back, I will have a great reward, and here I will write a white note first. ”

Sima Yi's face did not change, and he did not thank him directly, but just looked down at the sand table in front of Yuan Shang, and asked suspiciously: "Since I entered the account and reported to the lord, the lord's face has been unhappy, lord, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Yuan Shang touched his chin and thought carefully for a long time, before he said faintly: "Zhongda, you calculate, how many days has the Cao army not attacked us?" ”

Sima Yi lowered his head, crossed his fingers and pondered for a while, before he said slowly: "Probably, it will take five days"...,

Yuan Shang touched his chin and rolled his eyes: "When Gao Gan and I first arrived in Liyang, the Cao army had to attack us five times a day on average, but now, they are waiting for the day, holding their troops still, and they can't attack once in five days, the contrast between before and after is a little too big!" What do you think they're doing, I don't understand."

Sima Yi thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Isn't it the middle of summer, Cao Jun plans to take a summer vacation to rest and rest, and then organize a group outing, and after recuperating, he will send troops to continue to take care of us?" ”

Yuan Shang's teeth rattled loudly: "............"

"Huh! Okay" Sima Yi hurriedly changed his tone and said: "Although Yi has not debuted for a long time, after all, he has been the envoy of the lord and went to Xu Du to negotiate with Cao Cao. Now that Cao Jun has slowed down the pace of attack, on the surface it is to recuperate and recuperate, waiting for the opportunity, but in fact, there must be a big conspiracy in secret. ”

Yuan Shang pondered carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Your words sound reasonable, clear analysis, and some logical thinking, but if you think about it carefully"

"How?" Sima Yi had a hint of expectation on his face.

"All fucking bullshit! Bullshit! I still don't know that Cao Cao has a conspiracy? Use you to talk to me here, what is the key conspiracy! Do you know the truth? ”

Sima Yi's face was pale and he said uneasily: "If I know what kind of conspiracy the Dao is, do I still use it to talk those nonsense?" ”

Yuan Shang took a deep breath and pointed at Sima Yi and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, what they said was really telling the truth, and there was nothing to find fault with.

"Pass my general order, order all departments to strictly guard the camp, take turns to rest, and let the generals in Liyang City take turns to go out and call the battle in front of the Cao army camp, if the Cao army is not out of battle, we will send troops to attack! If they don't come to fight, let's fight over, I must see what trick Cao Cao's old thief wants to play! ”

"No!"

Jizhou, the back door of Yuan Tan's scattered mansion.

Xin Ping, who was dressed in black, finally obtained the right to come to visit Yuan Tan after dotting up and down and dredging with 100 gold, but he could only sneak in through the back door in the dead of night and when the officials were not checking, and he could only stay for half an hour at most.

At this moment, Yuan Tan is completely different from the high-spirited time in Qingzhou in the past, his face is full of haggard folds, and his black and shiny hair has become white and tangled at this moment, as if he is twenty years old all of a sudden, from a radiant young man, to an old man who knows the destiny of heaven.

"The eldest son~~!" Seeing Yuan Tan's sluggish appearance, Xin Ping's eyes couldn't help but rain and dew, and he trembled and knelt down in front of Yuan Tan.

Seeing Xin Ping at a glance, Yuan Tan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise and surprise.

"It's you Nakaji?! You, how did you get here? Didn't Yuan Shang arrest you? ”

Xin Ping got up and shook Yuan Tanchang, and sobbed: "The subordinates are incompetent, tired of the eldest prince suffering here, he should have apologized for his sins, how can he not get rid of it, and the ministers must not give up, so he is still breathing, now Yuan Shang gathers troops and horses in Liyang to confront Cao Cao, and the eyes of Yecheng are all focused there, and the trial is already flawless in preparing grain and grass, so the minister got the opportunity to come to see the eldest prince!" ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, he laughed bitterly and sighed: "That's the case, Zhongzhi, are you okay?" ”

"The minister is just stealing his life now, how can he say that it is good or bad?" Xin Ping had tears in the corners of his eyes, and said to Yuan Tan in a choked voice.

Yuan Tan waved his hand, asked Xin Ping to sit down, and said: "The winner is the king, the loser is the coward, I was defeated by Yuan Shang, and it is really self-inflicted on myself to get this fate, but now it has affected you and others who were left out in the cold, it is a great pity, but it is a pity that I am just a rich man now, and I eat and wait for death every day, but I can't help you anything"...,

"Don't be so depressed and sad, the things in the world are not the most difficult, and no one can easily win! Now, there is still a road in front of Childe, it depends on whether Childe is willing or not! Xin Ping's eyes were fierce and his words were conclusive.

When Yuan Tan heard this, he seemed to have some spirits, but he still said bitterly: "I'm already trapped here, but what else can I do to get out of this misfortune?" ”

Xin Ping hurriedly got up, walked outside the house, and carefully observed the surrounding movements.

"Don't worry, although Yuan Shang put me under house arrest in Yecheng, he still maintains some respect for me, there is no one else in this mansion, only a few old servants of mine in the past, if you have anything to say, you can say it with peace of mind." Yuan Tan couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Xin Ping's cautious appearance, and then opened his mouth to persuade him.

Xin Ping sighed in his heart, gently closed the door, ran to Yuan Tan, lowered his head, held his head next to his ear, and muttered a few words.

But seeing that Yuan Tan's face, which had been languishing, instantly became angry, his eyes widened, he grabbed Xin Ping, and hissed angrily: "Bastard, what kind of good plan did I make for you, and you actually let me surrender to Cao Cao?" Xin comment! Do you know at whose hands my father died? Did you do this to trap me in the land of disloyalty and unrighteousness? ”

"The eldest prince is quieter!" Xin Ping glanced left and right, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Big Prince! You are confused, how can I really let you surrender to Cao Cao? It's just a matter of borrowing Cao Cao's hand to get rid of Yuan Shang! As long as we kill the trial, take Yecheng, and break the foundation and support of Yuan Shang's rear, with Cao Cao's ability, we will be able to get rid of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi! When the time comes, Hebei will have no leader, and you will be the heir of all people! At that time, you will take over the power, ascend to the heights, and call on the heroes of Hebei to work together to resist Cao Cao, with the strength of Hebei, what are you afraid of? This is a God-given opportunity, if the eldest prince misses it, he will regret it! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
