The Prime Minister's Mansion at night is brightly lit.

Someone came in to report.

"Prime Minister Qi, hearing about Kong Rong's death, Jing Zhaozhi is accustomed to crying on the corpse on the execution ground, and avenging his grievances."

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this.

"Fat Rider! An dares to shout injustice, don't you think I was wrong to kill Kong Rong? Come on, give me an order, kill Fat Xi too, and let him go to Jiuquan to meet Kong Rong and shout grievances! ”

Xun Yu (yu) on the side hurriedly opened his mouth to advise.

"The prime minister can't, this person is upright, and he is a rare talent. And Yu tasted and heard the fat habit often admonished Rong and said: 'The public is too upright, it is the way to take trouble,' and now Rong dies and cries, it is a righteous person, and it is not to kill, and it is against the people's hearts to kill. ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and waved his sleeves unhappily.

"Then as Wen Ruo said, spare his life. Come, pass the order, three days later, the whole army, set off, if there is a minister who vainly says that the army will disturb the heart of our army, he will not be spared! ”

At this time, someone suddenly came in to report.

"Prime Minister Qiqi, General Xiahou Yuan asked to see him outside the door, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Cao Cao frowned, a little confused.

"Miaocai came here in the starry night, could it be that he came to intercede for Kong Rong? But he doesn't know Kong Rong well, right? ”

After thinking about it, Cao Cao waved his hand, but he still asked Xiahou Yuan to call in.

In the brightly lit conference hall, Cao Cao sat at the top, looking at Xiahou Yuan, who looked anxious below, a little strange.

"Miaocai, why do you look so hurried and flustered, what happened?"

Xiahou Yuan took a step forward and saluted with his fists.

"Have you ever heard of the Celestial Diagram of the Lore Kill?"

"Oh? The Heavenly Diagram of the Killing Universe mentioned by Miaocai is not the Heavenly Diagram that Li Yunfei gave to his disciple Zhuge Kongming in the rumors in the market? ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded.

"That's it."

Cao Cao was a little confused, "Why did Miaocai suddenly mention this picture?" ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't say it directly, but continued to ask. "What does the prime minister think of this rumored lore heavenly machine diagram?"

Cao Cao laughed.

"It is rumored in the market that this Killing Heaven Diagram has the magic of seizing the heavens and the earth, and the magic of decay in the universe. But in my mind, if Li Yunfei was really so wonderful, how could he still follow Liu Bei to do that thing of hitting a stone with an egg? Come to Xuchang to vote for me, and you will not lose the position of marquis. You say yes, right? ”

The ministers and generals laughed one after another.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, now that the prime minister's army is about to overwhelm the border, the nine counties of Jingxiang will be scorched earth. If Li Yunfei was really as powerful as rumored, how could he stay in Xinye and wait for death? The wolf has long since fled. ”

"That's why rumors are often exaggerated and not credible."

"If the Killing Heavenly Diagram is really so wonderful, does Bowang City still need to rely on Lu Bu's daughter to design an ambush for General Xiahou? Directly on the road, this formation map will be laid out, and no one in the 100,000 army of Bowang City will be able to escape. ”

Amidst everyone's laughter, Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath. Said suddenly.

"Regarding Li Yunfei, my opinion was originally the same as yours. However, tonight Miao Cai received a letter from the south, and looking at what the letter said, I realized that this person is by no means a vain person, and his talent is not unparalleled, but I am afraid that it is also very human. ”

As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan handed over the letter in his hand.

"If the prime minister looks at this letter, he should understand that what Miao Cai said is not false."

frowned and finished reading the letter from the Xiahou family. Cao Cao's expression was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of surprise and anger. In the end, he relented and was indifferent.

Who wrote this letter? Could it be Miaocai's niece Xiahoulan, who married Zhang Fei? ”

"Exactly."

Cao Cao laughed, "That being the case, this letter should be Li Yunfei's counter-intimidation plan, and it is not enough to be believed." As for the lore plot mentioned in the letter, Miaocai doesn't have to worry. When our army arrives in person, there is no need to worry about disciplining Li Yunfei's head. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao despised the things mentioned in the letter, Xiahou Yuan's expression was a little anxious, "But Prime Minister." The matter of the Beihai Kongrong ......"

"Could it be that Miaocai also wants to speak for that Kong Rong?"

Before Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Cao Cao, "That Kong Rong said that the soldiers were disturbing our army's heart and should be beheaded, is Miao Cai angry?" ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly bowed his head, "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"That being the case, then Miaocai will retire for the time being, it's time to prepare for the army, don't forget the major event of going on the expedition in three days."

Repulsing Xiahou Yuan with an indifferent expression, Cao Cao quietly put away the letter, as if nothing had happened, and continued to discuss the expedition with everyone present.

In Xuchang City, on the highest eaves of Xiahou's house, Lan Fei stood in the shadows, looking at the brightly lit Prime Minister's Mansion in the distant city, sneering.

The night breeze swayed the cloak behind him slightly, and the black figure stood there, almost blending in with the night.

Silently, a slender figure appeared beside him and sat down against him.

"You said that Mrs. Cao's letter, will Cao Thief believe it?"

Lan Fei sneered, "If you believe it, you will naturally believe it, but Mr. Yunfei has a saying, with Cao Cao's character, since he has decided to send troops to Jingzhou to conquer Jiangdong, he will never give up casually." I am afraid that he will suppress what was said in that letter and prevent General Xiahou from publicizing the matter of the Heavenly Machine, so as not to fluctuate the morale of the army and affect his morale on the expedition. ”

The figure behind him frowned.

"Then Mr. Yunfei's hard work, isn't it in vain? At that time, once the Heavenly Machine Diagram is laid out, the defenseless Cao Jun will suffer heavy casualties, it doesn't seem to be the result that Mr. Yunfei wants, right? ”

Lan Fei laughed, "Mr. Yunfei has the world in mind and does not want to kill, but if Cao Cao does not listen to what he said and bury the lives of the soldiers under his tent, it will actually be more beneficial to us and others. Anyway, the letter has been delivered, and whether to say it or not is Cao Cao's business, and it has nothing to do with my brother and sister. ”

The figure behind him smiled bitterly, "Brother, you said the same, but if I let down Mr. Yunfei's hard work on this trip, I feel a little guilty after all." ”

"Hah...... You don't like Mr. Yunfei, right? ”

The figure smiled wryly, "How is that possible?" Brother, you always like to make such boring jokes, how can people like us be qualified to talk about what they like? It's just that Mr. Yunfei is worried about the world, and if I have the ability, I should also help. ”

Lan Fei sighed.

"Then you also have to be capable, how Cao Jun's 500,000 army responds to the enemy, I don't know yet. If he is really allowed to sweep Jiangdong Jingzhou and dominate the world, I am afraid that this Kyushu is so big, and it will be difficult for us to have a place to stay. ”

The figure smiled.

"Afraid of what? With Mr. Yunfei here, there is no return to discipline Cao Jun. Mr. Yunfei is not panicking, what are you panicking about? ”

Lan Fei laughed.

"You girl, you have a lot of confidence in Mr. Yunfei, hahahaha......" (To be continued......)
