"You should know about the family's conspiracy to kill Cao Gong, right?" asked Zhang An.

Lu Bu nodded.

"When I learned of this that day, I immediately wrote a letter to bring to you. Zhang An rubbed his temples with a little headache, "But it seems that the letter was not delivered to you, which is strange." ”

"What's so strange about this?" Lu Bu sighed, "There are so many hidden masters in the family, and it wouldn't be surprising if something happened to your messenger. ”

"Probably not, right?" Although Zhang An was very confident in Xiao Hei's ability, he was also a little upset in his heart when Lu Bu said this, "That person is very strong." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Lu Bu was curious, now Zhang An can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of first-class masters, which can make Zhang An praise very strong, definitely not an ordinary master.

"Ahem. Zhang An coughed twice: "I said, don't be angry." ”

"What are you doing when you're angry?" Lu Bu was confused.

"That person is an assassin who seriously injured Commander Cao Chun and went to your mansion to assassinate him. Zhang An touched his nose, "By chance, he was influenced by my personality charm and became my entourage." ”

"Zhang An, you said a certain word that you don't understand again. Lu Bu behaved very blandly, "This is very good." But you have to be careful if he doesn't turn against him again. ”

"This, shouldn't it?" Zhang An said hesitantly.

"It's better to be an uncertain enemy than a real one. Lu Bu said faintly, "You can't be soft-hearted. ”

Zhang An smiled, did not answer Lu Bu's words and continued, but asked, "If I want to find him, who should I ask for help?"

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Jia Xu is in charge of the secret spy under the master, you can try it with him." ”

Tsk, Jia Xu is in charge of the intelligence agency, and Cao Cao is really good at knowing people.

However, Jia Xu's life should not be easy recently, as the head of intelligence, he didn't receive a little rumor about such a big matter as the family plotting Cao, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

It is said that the family's skills are really superb, and it is terrible that they can make the tricks of Cao Cao under the noses of everyone who have not been discovered.

But Cao Cao didn't die, and the matter of the family union was poked out by himself again, so it should be a headache for the family.

Who else can he find besides Jia Xu? Zhang An suddenly thought of someone.

Guangling Ranger, Han Lie.

The intelligence network of this group of rangers seems to be very remarkable, why don't you try it with him?

Thinking of this, Zhang An said, "Feng Xian, can you help me find someone to come over, this person is the head of the rangers of Guangling, called Han Lie, and the family conspired with Cao, which he also told me." I think the Ranger's intelligence sources can be combined with Mr. Jia's secret agents. ”

Lu Bu nodded, "This Han Lie can find out about this matter, he can be regarded as a talent, and he has a chance to talk to the lord about this person." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Bu told Zhang An to recuperate from his injuries, and then left for the barracks.

After Lu Bu left, Zhang An continued to think about the family's plot against Cao.

Thinking that the news that Cao Cao is okay should have been known by those families, how would they react?

When everything is put on the surface, the Maison will go completely crazy, right?

Zhang An had a headache when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but sigh.

It's really too difficult for a pure person like himself to think about these things.

Three days later, Zhang An met Han Lie, who was in the dust.

"General Zhang. Seeing Zhang An again, Han Lie was much more restrained, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang An.

It should be that his own achievements have begun to spread to the people. Zhang An looked at Han Lie, who was clasping his fists and saluting, and said with a smile, "Why does Brother Han need to be so polite? I invited Brother Han here today to ask Brother Han to do me a favor." ”

"General Zhang has orders, and he will do his best. Han Lie said respectfully.

"After learning from you about the family's plot to Cao that day, I sent a messenger to Xudu, but General Lu Bu said that he had not seen the messenger. Zhang An said, "I wonder if Brother Han can help me find that messenger?"

Hearing this, Han Lie sighed, and said with a wry smile, "General Zhang, after receiving the letter from that old brother to XX, XX also sent many people to contact Cao Gong's subordinate martial arts, but those people have all disappeared without exception, and I still don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”

Zhang An frowned slightly, and then stretched out again, "It's okay, this messenger of mine is not ordinary, he is a master of the Gang Qi level, even if he is really unfortunate enough to be killed, he will definitely leave a clue." ”

Han Lie nodded, then asked everything about Xiao Hei in detail, and left.

"Don't leave Xiangyang recently. Zhang An said, "I have already told General Lu Bu that you told me about the family plotting Cao, you wait for the summons of Cao Gong." ”

Han Lie was overjoyed and thanked Zhang An again and again.

Recommending Han Lie to Cao Cao through Lu Bu is also something that Zhang An has considered, and the ranger's intelligence network plus Cao Cao's official support should make it easier to find Xiao Hei's whereabouts.

Watching Han Lie leave, Zhang An silently thought, Xiao Hei, where did you stinky boy go?

Time passed little by little, while Zhang An's injuries were gradually recovering, Lu Bu and Guo Jia were also constantly bringing Zhang An new news from the outside world.

The first is that Zhang An's reputation has now been completely launched, and almost everywhere under Cao Cao's rule knows that there is a fierce general who dares to go to the battlefield in cloth clothes and can also set up brilliant military achievements.

The second is that the family has been active again, which is manifested in all kinds of stumbling blocks for Cao Jun and madly assassinating Cao Cao.

In just a dozen days, there have been nearly 20 waves of assassins who want to break through the tiger guards led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu and forcibly kill Cao Cao.

In addition to the assassination in the open and in the dark, Cao Cao can't eat or sleep well these days.

When you go to the toilet, you can get into a poisonous snake, when you eat, you can detect all kinds of strange poisons from the food, and when you wake up when you sleep at night, you can see a huge poisonous spider staring at you.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's own serious suspicions, his extreme sensitivity to the dangers of the outside world, and the effective protection of Dian Wei Xu Chu, Cao Cao's life would not be enough to die.

Even so, Cao Cao was overwhelmed, physically and mentally exhausted, and his head was frequent, and he had almost lost a lap in the past ten days.

You must know that Cao Cao is now fifty years old, if he continues to be tossed like this, I am afraid that he will really be seriously ill and die.

But for the crazy assassination of the family, Cao Cao and the group of civil and military really had no tricks at all.

According to the letters handed over by Zhang An, they went to arrest the family under Cao Cao, but whether it was the Chen Cao family in Xuzhou or other families, they had already taken everything they could take away and fled.

Cao Cao was unable to rest at ease during this time, and his temper gradually began to become irritable, and even Guo Jia and the people of the Cao family's Xiahou family couldn't talk well.

Two days ago, Cao Cao ignored everyone's persuasion, first arrested Xun You, and then sent people to rush to Xudu and tied Xun Yu to Xiangyang.

It's a tie, not a please, not a belt.

In addition to the unlucky uncle and nephew of Xun Yu and Xun Yu, after Cao Cao met Han Lie, he immediately asked Han Lie to be Jia Xu's deputy, sent secret spies, and demanded the world, as long as he suspected that it was related to the family's plot against Cao, he was directly arrested and imprisoned and tortured.

Jia Xu was responsible for investigating the family, and Cao Cao also ordered Cheng Yu, a ruthless man, to investigate all the civil and military forces under his command.

Although there is no big mess at present, Zhang An looks at Guo Jia, who has always been free and easy, and has a calm face every day, and knows that as long as the contradiction is completely stimulated, this mess is enough to completely subvert the power that Cao Cao has worked hard to build for half his life.

A generation of male lords seems to have begun to lose their minds under the mixture of anger and make one more stupid moves.

In addition to Cao Cao's own side beginning to disorganize themselves, the Sun-Liu coalition army seems to have digested and absorbed the occupied territory, and began to turn its attention to the rest of Jingzhou, and there have been signs of large-scale mobilization of troops and horses in recent days.

Among the continuous bad news, the worst news is probably that there is no news from Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei seemed to have evaporated from the world, and Han Lie's rangers combed back and forth along the official roads from Guangling to Xudu several times, but they almost didn't dig three feet into the ground, but they couldn't find any trace of Xiao Hei.

Although Zhang An was anxious and worried about this, he had not recovered from his illness at this time, so he could only be anxious.

On the thirty-second day in Xiangyang, Zhang An finally recovered from his injuries and regained his realm to the high level of Gangqi.

It was on this day that the Sun-Liu coalition army marched again.

On the thirty-third day, Gao Shun came to Zhang An's house.

"General Gao, it's been a long time. Seeing Gao Shun's paralyzed face again, Zhang An felt extremely kind.

This time, Cao Cao went south to Jiangdong, and Gao Shun and the trap camp also participated in the war, but he was left in the rear by Cao Cao at that time, preparing to wait for the blockade of the Yangtze River to be broken through, and then transfer Gao Shun and the trap camp to the front line.

"Zhang An, tomorrow he will fight with Shun and the trap camp. After Gao Shun sat down, the first sentence made Zhang An stunned.

"Huh?" Zhang An looked at Gao Shun in disbelief, thinking that he had misheard.

Gao Shun said again with an expressionless face, "Shun has already told Feng Xian, and from tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily return to the camp." ”

Zhang An scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

I finally recovered from my injuries, and I was ready to sneak into Jiangdong while Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and others were active on the front line.

But let's say no, not to mention that Gao Shun has the grace to teach him arts, if Lu Bu knows that he dares to say two words, he is afraid that he will really beat himself to the point where he can't take care of himself.

Is there any way to find a compromise? Zhang An pondered for a long time.

Gao Shun looked at Zhang An with a tangled face, and didn't give Zhang An a chance to bargain, so he directly took out the military order and put it in front of Zhang An, "You go and pack up your things later, and come to the camp before nightfall to report." ”

"General Gao... This.... Zhang An scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Zhang An, it won't be long before you obey your fate. Gao Shun said something in a calm tone that shocked Zhang An.

"General Gao, don't be joking. Zhang An looked Gao Shun up and down, but unfortunately Gao Shun's face was expressionless, and Zhang An couldn't see any information.

"You also know the secret method of trapping the camp. Gao Shun said lightly, "Shun has been fighting with the trapped camp for many years, and he has already accumulated too many dark injuries in his body, and all his potential is almost exhausted. ”

Zhang An was really stunned, he looked at Gao Shun and asked hesitantly, "General Gao, are you really not joking?"

"Shun doesn't have that much free time these days. Gao Shun stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang An, "Shun also knows that Zhang An, you don't want to take over the trapping camp, but Shun really doesn't want to fall into the camp, and after Shun died, the establishment was revoked." ”

Zhang An looked at Gao Shun, who bowed his head to himself, and felt panicked in his heart.

He took a deep breath and helped Gao Shun up, "I promised General Gao." ”

A sincere smile appeared on Gao Shun's face.
