"Oh." Cao Cao also looked stunned at this time, and then thought of a lot of questions, and then said with a smile on his face: "Zhicai's idea is very good, the news is released, so someone will definitely not be able to hold it back, in this way, how things will be known, hahaha." ”

Cao Cao laughed, and Xi Zhicai also laughed, obviously they were ready to be fishermen.

...... ......

Dong Zhuo military camp outside Tongguan.

When Cao Cao deliberately spread the news that Zhang Chao was likely to be assassinated and critically ill according to Xi Zhicai's suggestion, General Duan Xuan, who was in charge of guarding the gate of Chang'an here, was a little unable to sit still.

After Guo Yan and other generals were killed, Duan Xuan became one of the generals that Dong Zhuo relied on, and now he is guarding outside Tongguan with an army of 80,000, always careful that Lu Bu and his army are attacking.

Duan Xuan has his own pride, and he also fantasized that one day he would sweep through the Quartet with a large army, and then go down in history. But he only hated that he was born at the wrong time, and he had a tough opponent like Lu Bu, which made him dare not act rashly.

But just now, a piece of news seemed to reach his ears, Lu Bu was arrested, and Zhang Chao was also critically ill, which made him see a glimmer of hope that could be famous and shocking the world.

For Lu Bu, Duan Xuan has always been angry and afraid.

It's angry that this person is actually blocking his way to fame. What I'm afraid of is the other party's invincible ability.

Even Duan Xuan had thought about whether he would not be able to have the opportunity to make contributions in this life, but just now, hope suddenly appeared, which is like a person who has been walking in the dark and suddenly found a trace of light, how can he not be excited?

After being excited in his heart, Duan Xuan hurriedly invited the general Hu Zhen over.

Hu Zhen, a talented person, is one of the few people in Dong Zhuojun who has some literary talent and resourcefulness.

Originally, Dong Zhuo didn't fancy the ministers, in his eyes, if he wanted to win the world, he had to rely on the bravery of the generals and the bravery of the soldiers. The advisor is just a mouthful, and that trick has no effect in the face of absolute strength.

But when he was designed and even lost Chang'an under duress, he saw the importance of the ministers, and he began to think of recruiting ministers.

It's just because Dong Zhuo's reputation has always been too stinky, and even the abolition of the emperor has been decided by him. Those who had some scumbags were reluctant to join his men. This made Hu Zhen and his ilk the mainstay of his subordinates.

And this time, in order to prevent Lu Bu from leading the army to attack Chang'an, Dong Zhuo arranged for Hu Zhen to cooperate with Duan Xuan, and said before leaving that the two of them would discuss major matters.

Duan Xuan will look for Hu Zhen, so he also wants to find someone to discuss this matter.

It's just that the soldiers have been sent for a long time, and Hu Zhen is still not seen, Duan Xuan began to be a little annoyed in his heart, this military advisor, usually doesn't do anything, just moves his lips and himself, and now he has something to discuss, and he can't find it, it really can't be a big deal.

Although there was anger in his heart, he couldn't find anyone, and Duan Xuan was helpless. And this waited from day to night, until the time of the lantern, and the soldiers came from outside the big tent to report, saying that Hu Zhen's military division was coming.

As soon as he heard that Hu Zhen was coming, Duan Xuan hurriedly said please, but he really wanted to reprimand him first. No matter what, as a general in the army, he still has majesty.

Duan Xuan sat at the table, posing as if he was going to ask the teacher for the crime, and just as he was seated, Hu Zhen, who was dressed in a gray robe outside the door, walked in.

"General, I heard you were looking for me?" As soon as he entered the tent, Hu Zhen asked out loud.

Under a gray robe, there was a man with a figure of more than six feet, his face was white, and his eyes were also very bright, and the continuous rotation of his eyes also showed that this person was quite scheming.

"Hu Zhen, let me ask you, what did you go to do during the day? Why can't I find you? Duan Xuan asked with a high-minded look.

Seeing Duan Xuankou scolding himself, Hu Zhen was indeed not in a hurry at all, on the contrary, he smiled and said: "General, don't be angry, I am indeed not in the barracks during the day, but I have done a big thing, hehe, you can come in." ”

As soon as Hu Zhen's words fell, the curtain of the military tent was lifted, and then a burly man appeared in front of Duan Xuan.

Hu Zhen even brought someone over, Duan Xuan was a little curious, and looked away, at first glance, he seemed to feel familiar, but when he took a closer look next, he was indeed panicked, and immediately instinctively, he reached out and touched the sword, and he wanted to shout something in his mouth.

Seeing that Duan Xuan was so nervous, Hu Zhen hurriedly said: "General Duan, don't worry, this person has already surrendered to us." ”

Duan Xuan, who was about to shout, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked slowly, "Surrender to us?" ”

"Yes, it's time to surrender to us." Hu Zhen hurriedly said out loud.

As if to confirm this sentence, the later person fell to his knees with a plop at this moment, bowed his head and said, "The sinner general Song Xian visited General Duan." ”

Yes, the person who came was Song Xian, the general who used to defend Jinyang City, and he was also one of the deputy generals that Lu Bu was very optimistic about.

To say that Song Xian has followed Zhang Chao for a long time, and he has also been trusted, and he has become the general of Jinyang City under reuse, which can be said to be in a high position and famous. It's just that it all ended with the killing of his younger brother Song Quan.

Song Quan was killed by Tian Feng because of a crime, and Song Xian, who was also a protective umbrella as his own brother, was also affected by this, so he was relieved of his military power and was idle at home.

Zhang Chao meant to snub him first, and then wait for the right opportunity to reactivate, after all, this person also has some ability. It's just that he didn't expect that Song Xian really didn't understand what he meant, and he thought that he would never come out, and the whole person became decadent. And it was at this time that Cao Cao's spies came to solicit him.

After the spy promised enough benefits, Song Xian decided to follow Cao Cao, and the first order he received was to watch Zhang Chao's every move.

As a former general defending the city, although Song Xian was dismissed, he still had a group of subordinates serving in the army, and as long as Zhang was out of the city, he could know his movements.

Of course, Song Xian alone is not enough, after all, if Zhang Chao goes out of the city in disguise, it will be difficult for him to grasp his movements. But fortunately, there is another internal response, that is, Zhang Xing, the housekeeper in Zhang Miao's mansion. He lost a lot of money because of the opium 0 thing, when Cao Cao's spies found him and said that he was willing to pay the full compensation, and he only needed to do one thing, that is, after observing Zhang Chao's actions and reporting, he still agreed under the drive of money.

In this way, when Zhang Chao resigned to his eldest brother Zhang Miao, Zhang Xing told Song Xian the news, and after that, there was a scene of being followed and attacked.

After the news of Song Xian's departure from the city to the northeast came out, he received a new mission, that is, to find a way to rebel against more people. And when necessary, you can also rely on some other princely forces.

In this way, Song Xian thought about it, and then thought of the old master Lu Bu, so he appeared in the Tongguan area.

It's just that although he arrived here, Song Xian really didn't dare to see Lu Bu for a long time, and he really couldn't figure out the old master's attitude towards Zhang Chao, and he was also worried that he would be arrested if he appeared rashly.

After waiting like this, until he received new news, Lu Bu was actually arrested by the envoy sent by Zhang Chao, and escorted to Jinyang City, he felt that the opportunity was coming, thinking that Cao Cao said that he could use the power of other princes, so he hit Dong Zhuo with the idea, and then deliberately released the news that he was nearby, and sure enough, it attracted Hu Zhen's attention, and this scene appeared in Duan Xuan's tent.

Song Xian appeared in front of him, and he still appeared as a general, which was indeed something that Duan Xuan did not expect. But after finding out that this person seemed to be sincere, he couldn't help but be happy again.

Song Xian was also a subordinate of Lu Bu, so he was also a subordinate of Dong Zhuo, so his appearance here was obviously extremely beneficial to the army to capture Tongguan, and he immediately said with great joy: "It turns out that General Song has abandoned the dark and turned to the light, haha, this is a good thing, a good thing, come, please hurry up." ”

Seeing Duan Xuan's great joy, Hu Zhen also laughed on the side, he thought that he had done a big thing and made a great contribution this time.

Song Xian got up with a flattered look, and then came to Duan Xuan's side and sat down, and then the three of them got together and began to discuss big things.

"General Song, as far as I know, General Lu Bu was actually arrested. Alas, I am also very sorry to hear this. I think General Lu is a dragon among people, looking at the world, no one is his opponent in martial arts. I really can't figure out what Zhang Chao thinks, and he can even do it to General Lu. While saying, Duan Xuan shook his head, looking very pity.

Of course, all this is just a façade on the surface, in fact, Duan Xuan's eyes have been observing Song Xian, he is watching the other party's reaction.

Song Xian was indeed a little unexpectedly surprised by Lu Bu's arrest, and now that he heard the mention, he also said with a very sad look, "Yes, General Lu's bravery is known to everyone, I really can't figure out why Zhang Chao sent someone to arrest him, so wouldn't he cut off his arm?" ”

"That's right. I think what a scenery it was when General Lu was under the name of Taishi. But I didn't expect that after following Zhang Chao, I was still not trusted by him, and it was a pity to think about it. Alas, if it were possible, I would have liked to have saved General Lu, but Jinyang City is too far away from us to reach the whip. ”

Duan Xuan was a picture of uncontrollable, and after saying this, his eyes were on Song Xian, obviously wanting to hear the other party's opinion.
