Shi Xin had promised Kong Rong and Yang Xiu that Yang Xiu had always been one of the five protectors of the Holy Sect. And Ma Chao is the deputy head of the Holy Sect, and his position in the Holy Sect is lower than Yang Xiu.

Although only a few people knew about it, Yang Xiu had always remembered his position and penetrated into his bone marrow. If he forgets even this identity, it is easy for him to lose himself in his undercover life.

He is arrogant, and when facing Ma Chao, who has a lower position than himself, he naturally does not need to keep his voice down.

"Yang Xiu, what are you doing here?"

Ma Chao sacrificed the tiger head Zhan golden gun, pointed at Yang Xiu from afar, and shouted with an unkind face.

Huang Zhong on the side persuaded: "Meng Qi, the main bus only needs to stop them from entering the city, and we can't hurt people as a last resort, and see what he has to say." ”

"Huh!

Ma Chao was extremely reluctant, but Shi Xin had indeed ordered him before, so he had to move the tip of the gun downward.

Yang Xiu took a closer look, Ma Chao was mighty, Huang Zhong was steady, they were all useful generals, and even the four deputy generals behind them were also talents.

Farther away, the warriors of the Fubo Cavalry and the Strong Bow Battalion held their chests and stomachs up, their eyes did not squint, their horses did not neigh, and their soldiers were strong and strong.

A trace of emotion welled up in Yang Xiu's heart, and his eyes were slightly red.

The cause of the lord is in full swing, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the great cause of reunification is just around the corner. As Yang Xiu, who had been determined to follow Shi Xin from the beginning, only a little later than Zhuge Liang and others, he had a feeling of suddenly looking back and the lights were dim.

Huang Zhong was old-fashioned, and Yang Xiu's expression was sincere, although it was not in a flash, but it still did not escape his eyes. I couldn't help but be suspicious in my heart, and arched my hand: "What does Yang Dezu have to say?"

"Ahem, cough, on behalf of the lord Cao Pi, I would like to say a word to the two of you, please give us some time to suspend the attack. I immediately went to the Sect Master Shi to express my desire for peace. ”

Yang Xiu put away his eager gaze and got back to business.

"That's it?"

Huang Zhong was a little unexpected.

Yang Xiu smiled, "That's it!"

Of course, he will not reveal the purpose of wanting to observe his military power up close.

"Then I'll have to ask our advisor. ”

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he sent someone to the middle to convey Yang Xiu's meaning to Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng quickly ran up, and he didn't believe it at first, but after Yang Xiu confirmed it again and again, he said happily: "Cao Zihuan can negotiate peacefully, this is a good thing." But this matter is kept secret, and Mr. Dezu must be asked to hide his whereabouts. ”

Yang Xiu nodded and said, "I'll take care of it!"

With that, he turned his horse's head and walked away to the side.

If you start from the front, it is easy to run into Cao's army of 100,000, although there is no danger, but it is also indispensable to bypass them and go straight to Shi Xin's army.

Yang Xiu disguised himself in a hidden place, and soon became an ordinary person. When approaching the historical camp, he quickly contacted the people of the Eagle Department.

He exchanged messages between Cao Ying and Eagle Ministry, and there was a unique set of codes between the two, which didn't take much time to convince the other party of his important identity.

The Eagle Department summoned Shi Xin, and Yang Xiu went straight to the Chinese army's tent without any obstacles.

At this time, Shi Xin's 100,000-strong army was confronting Cao Ying's rear army, and the two set up camp in an open area.

Shi Xin retreated left and right, leaving only Zhuge Liang and Cai Yan.

"The lord is above, and he is worshiped by Yang Xiu!"

This was the first official salute since Yang Xiu joined Shi Xin's camp, and he had already burst into tears.

"Don't be like this, please get up!

Thinking of the many red tapes of the Holy Sect, Shi Xin couldn't let him not worship, but he couldn't worship them all, so he had to let him do half a bow, hurriedly helped him up, and muttered, "For the sake of the original agreement, Dezu tried his courage and devoted himself to the enemy camp for several years, conveying countless information, and his credit was greater than that of any one person. It's just, thank you for your hard work!"

With Shi Xin's approval, Yang Xiu burst into tears and choked up: "It's not hard, it's not hard!"

Yang Xiu fixed his mind, and then saluted Zhuge Liang and Cai Yan.

When he was young, he admired Cai Yan and even was hostile to Shi Xin, but after years of undercover life and his growing respect for Shi Xin, he has long forgotten his old complex. Now goodbye, there is only a faint feeling of old friendship.

"Dezu came today for Cao Pi's surrender. Yang Xiu didn't dare to delay too much, and directly stated the purpose of this trip.

Shi Xin was pleasantly surprised: "He finally figured it out?"

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't really figure it out, Cao Pi is very ambitious, and he won't easily give up his power." ”

At the moment, the conversation with Cao Pi is brought out. At the end, he said: "Since Cao Pi chose to pretend to surrender to Sima Yi's camp, the lord can plan and successfully receive the 100,000 troops." But this plan was difficult to implement, Cao Pi meant that all his generals should be taken to Chengdu, and his descendant's army of 50,000 would follow him to retreat intact. ”

Shi Xin glanced at Zhuge Liang, who groaned slightly and smiled at Shi Xin.

Seeing this smile, Shi Xin was relieved, "What did the military advisor think, why don't you tell me and listen to it?"

Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Although the current situation is a bit complicated, it is generally very beneficial to us. With Dezu monitoring Cao Pi's every move, we should support Cao Pi to go to Chengdu. He thinks that everything is under his control, but in the end it is still a pawn within our control. The generals can take him away, so that it is easier for him to develop his strength, which in turn poses a threat to Sima Yi. ”

Shaking the feather fan, he continued: "As for the 100,000 army, as long as Cao Pi withdraws his generals, they have no leader, and the army's spirit is even more sluggish, so it is naturally in our bag." Therefore, after Dezu returned, he could ask Cao Pi to hold a military meeting and withdraw all the generals. If we take advantage of the situation, we will be foolproof. ”

Yang Xiu was a little hesitant: "Military advisor, Guo Jia has a reputation in the army, and the method of transferring all the generals seems too obvious, I'm afraid he will notice it." ”

"Then pull out most of it, leaving only one or two...... Is there a candidate in the lord's mind?"

Shi Xin rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then Zhang He." ”

His treacherous smile was so obvious that Yang Xiu instantly knew his motives. This was a good opportunity to capture the generals, how could Shi Xin let it go? Most importantly, Zhang He also had the ability to form a halberd army, which Shi Xin had coveted for a long time.

Zhang He was held hostage by Cao Cao in the Battle of Yecheng, and later had to join Cao's camp. In the battle of Beibi Mountain, it can be seen that he has no feelings for the Yuan family, and now the three Yuan brothers are in Shi Xin's camp, and his former colleagues such as Yan Liangwen Chou, Tian Feng and others are in high positions, and it is logical for him to surrender Shi Xin.

"It's just Zhang He's alone, Cao Pi shouldn't have too many complaints. Even if there are complaints, you can only suffer a dumb loss. ”

Yang Xiu said with a smile.

The plan was agreed, and Yang Xiu and Shi Xin discussed some details. Yang Xiu agreed that tonight he would send an order for Cao Ying's generals to arrive at Cao Pi's big tent, and Shi Xin could deploy early.

After Yang Xiu left, Shi Xin found Zhou Yu and asked him and Zhuge Liang to make a sneak attack plan for the night, and a big net was spread.

At the end of the day, all the generals except Zhang He appeared in Cao Pi's big tent on time.

Everyone couldn't understand why Cao Pi gathered everyone at this juncture, wasn't he worried that Shi Xin would suddenly attack?

Although there were doubts, everyone was silent. One by one, they sat upright, waiting for Cao Pi to announce the answer. Because Cao Pi has always been at the front, this is the first military meeting attended by all the generals after the decision to retreat to Xiangyang, which has guiding significance for the next action.

And Shi Xin's follow-up and non-attack along the way also made everyone take it for granted that he would not come, especially when Xiangyang was in sight.

Of course, Guo Jia would not guess what Shi Xin'an's good intentions were, probably to further disintegrate his military spirit, or secretly planning a treacherous plan, wanting to annihilate his 150,000 army at the lowest cost.

When Ma Chao's army was blocked on the way to Xiangyang, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

"Zihuan, Xiangyang is right in front of you, why don't we attack it in one go?"

Xiahoudun had a lofty status, staring at the one-eyed and taking the lead in asking questions.

"Uncle Yuan Rang, didn't you see Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and the others blocking the front?" Cao Pi sighed.

"What are you afraid of? We have 150,000 troops! What is his 50,000?"

"Shi Xin also has 150,000! When the time comes, they will attack back and forth, and the two sides will fight to the death, even if they enter Xiangyang, it will be a dead end. ”

"......" Xiahoudun was speechless for a while, and finally said dejectedly, "Then what should I do?

"That's why I'm looking for you, to discuss where our army is going next. Cao Pi glanced at Guo Jia, "Strategist, do you have any good suggestions?"

Although Cao Pi had a plan, Guo Jia's prestige was extremely high in the army, and it was reasonable to let him express his opinion.

"Before we can determine the whereabouts of our army, we should first find out what Shi Xin really thinks, why did he do this strange thing?"

There is always a cause and effect in everything, and if you can find out the true intentions of Shi Xin, you can find a way to save them.

Guo Jia then analyzed, "The news from Chen Liu, the lord has been buried in the family cemetery. Shi Xin organized this funeral according to a high standard, and even Pound was buried in a grand manner. The funny thing is that Cao Ren, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei cried to death at the funeral, and they didn't mean to be angry at all about the people in Shi Xin's camp. ”

Hearing this, Cao Pi and Yang Xiu's hearts froze at the same time, their eyes touched the air as if they were nothing, and their thoughts were different.

Cao Pi was afraid that Guo Jia would see through his scheme, but Yang Xiu thought: If Guo Jia learned the truth about Cao Cao's death and chose to believe it, then things would take a new turn. Whether he chose to surrender to Shi Xin immediately or go to Chengdu with Cao Pi, with his loyalty to Cao Cao, it would be a great thing for Shi Xin.

Xiahou slapped it on the table with a snap and scolded: "These beasts who are greedy for life and afraid of death, they trust them so much when they are fair, and they actually rebel in battle, which really annoys me." ”

Guo Jia sneered and said, "I sent someone to ask them what happened that day from the side, do you know what they said?"

"What do they say?"

Xiahoudun stared at Guo Jia with wide eyes, leaning forward, looking very urgent.

Everyone in the tent had the same movements and expressions as Xiahoudun, and they were anxious to know what had happened that day.

Cao Pi only said that Cao Cao was killed by Shi Xin that day and almost the entire army surrendered, but as for how he died and how he surrendered, he did not provide details.
