Huo Jun walked out of Jia Xu's residence, and a layer of cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.

Seeing Jia Xu this time, the pressure was too great.

If he hadn't calculated the time, and he had calculated that Cao Ren would arrive at this time, it would have been impossible to succeed. And being able to succeed also depends on Cao Ren's prejudice against Jia Xu himself, and in such a situation, he can succeed.

Back at the inn, Huo Jun packed up his salute and rode away directly.

After leaving Wanxian, Huo Jun's heart finally relaxed.

This mission can be regarded as a successful completion.

The road to the south was very smooth, and Huo Jun did not stay, so he quickly returned to Chaoyang County.

Back at the mansion, Huo Jun saw Liu Xiu in the hall and arched his hand: "Lord, I am fortunate to have completed the task." At that time, as soon as Jia Xu got the letter, Cao Ren arrived. After seeing the letter, Cao Ren said that he believed that Jia Xu was loyal to Cao 'Cao', but thought that Jia Xu was moved by the lord's conditions, and a pimple arose in his heart. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiu's eyes showed appreciation.

Immediately, Liu Xiu asked, "At that time, weren't you troubled by Cao Ren?"

When Huo Jun heard this, he had a bright smile on his face, and said, "My lord, not only was my humble position not made difficult by Cao Ren. On the contrary, the reason why he was able to come back this time was because of Cao Ren's help. After Jia Xu had a pimple in Cao Ren's heart, he actually wanted to kill the lowly position. Then, Cao Ren said that the two armies would not fight each other. Just imagine, Jia Xu killed me to prove his innocence, but the more he did this, the more Cao Ren distrusted him. ”

In fact, Jia Xu himself has no choice. ”

"If Jia Xu chooses to kill me, then he is in a hurry to prove his innocence, but the letter has already confirmed that Jia Xu smeared it, then he is here without three hundred taels of silver. ”

"If Jia Xu chooses to protect me, then he has already favored the lord. ”

Huo Jun said: "In the scene at that time, Jia Xu did make a wrong move, and one step was wrong, and he lost the whole game. Moreover, no matter what, when Cao Ren saw the letter, his heart was naturally uncomfortable, and he would definitely have pimples. Because of Cao Ren's insistence, he was able to come back smoothly. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and his eyes also showed appreciation.

As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Xiu ordered: "Huang Hu, please invite Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong to discuss the matter." ”

"No!"

Outside the big 'gate', Huang Hu replied and went down to give orders.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong to come to the hall.

When the three of them saw Huo Jun coming back, their eyes all showed a trace of brilliance and expectation. After saluting, the three of them sat down directly.

Liu Xiu said: "Huo Jun's trip has successfully completed the task. "After Liu Xiu's confirmation, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong's eyes were all 'revealed' with excitement.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, since the first step of the plan is successful, then it is the second step of the plan." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The second step plan is the key. After speaking, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "Zhang Ren, are you ready?"

Zhang Ren hugged his fists and said: "Back to the lord, everything is ready and ready to act at any time." ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a trace of excitement.

Liu Xiu said: "Now, just wait for the news of Jinyiwei." ”

"Report!"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall.

Immediately, I saw a samurai in a black 'colored' robe hurriedly running in, and then knelt down on one knee and reported: "Lord Qiyu Prefecture, now he has bought off a small official of the Wanxian County Government, and he has agreed to inquire about Cao Ren's movements. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiu's eyes were even more joyful.

The key to this station is that this little official is also needed.

In fact, the reason why he was able to buy this little official was also because Liu Xiu's request was very simple. What Liu Xiu asked for was only the need for the officials to pass on the news about Cao Ren's movements and Jia Xu's situation.

There are no requirements other than that.

Moreover, the money given by Jin Yiwei is too much to be able to succeed smoothly.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Go down!"

"No!"

After the Jinyi guard soldiers retreated, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "Everything is ready, now, you can act." ”

"The last will be arranged. ”

Zhang Ren's heart was also excited, looking forward to the start of this plan.

After Zhang Ren went down, Wei Yan also left.

The rest of the people also retreated, leaving only Liu Xiu and Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said: "My lord, this plan can be regarded as the most special one since we fought so many battles. A war is not fought for any city, not for food and equipment, but for people. ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. This is the method of using soldiers. If Cao Ren and Jia Xu unite, then it will be a huge threat to us. Even if Jingzhou can't be shaken for the time being, it is always inconvenient for Jia Xu to stir up the wind and rain behind his back. Rather than this, it is better to take Jia Xu directly. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Jia Xu should also be regarded as an honor, the lord launched a war, not seeking victory, just for him." ”

Liu Xiu laughed, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zhang Ren dispatched troops, and his actions were quite hidden, but quietly dispatched soldiers from the surrounding counties of Chaoyang County, and then quietly 'pressed' to Xinye County in the north, intending to attack Xinye County.

This move was quite secretive.

However, it was discovered by Cao Ren's spies 'by accident'.

The spies sent the news back to Wanxian, and Cao Ren soon got the news.

Cao Ren called Xu Huang and Jia Xu together, and the county order and the chief secretary of Wan County discussed political affairs together. Cao Ren said with a smile in his eyes: "Everyone, the general just got the news that Zhang Ren is secretly dispatching soldiers and planning to attack Xinye County. This news was also discovered by the sentinel sent by Ben Ben. ”

Now, Zhang Ren must have thought that Ben would not know. ”

"At this time, if Ben will deploy troops, prepare in advance, and lay an ambush, he will wait for Zhang Ren's soldiers to enter the urn. Then, Zhang Ren must be able to make a big heel. ”

Cao Ren's eyes were burning with a strong fighting spirit.

He and Xu Huang are in Nanyang County, and now it is not difficult to take the next step, in such a situation, Cao Ren is also eager to make meritorious contributions, and he is eager to prove his ability.

After hearing this, Xu Huang asked, "General Cao, how did the sentry find out?"

Cao Ren said: "The reason why the spies were able to find out was because when the spies distributed in Xinye went hunting in the mountains, they encountered an army marching in the mountains and forests. Then, come back quickly and report back. Otherwise, we don't know that Zhang Ren has quietly dispatched soldiers. ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "In this way, then, this is an opportunity." ”

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, but his face showed a trace of solemnity.

The spies found out!

Discovered by accident!

Could this be the other party's deliberate this?

Ever since Jia Xu was designed by Liu Xiu, and then there was a pimple between him and Cao Ren, Jia Xu has been pondering, thinking that I am afraid that Liu Xiu has begun to take active action. And this time, maybe it's Liu Xiu's handiwork again.

Jia Xu didn't speak, so Cao Ren asked, "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think about this matter?"

When asked, Jia Xu replied: "General Cao, it is not recommended to go to an ambush in the future. In the next opinion, this situation is likely to be a 'maze' array deliberately set up by Liu Xiu, and it may be that Liu Xiu wants to let the general go. After all, there are defenders in Xinye, and as long as the defenders are stationed, there must be no problem. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he was immediately unhappy.

Lao Tzu's spies finally heard the news, and you actually said that it was not suitable to send troops?

Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jia, don't you believe in this general?"

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but the current situation, it is really possible that it was designed by Liu Xiu." Therefore, I do not agree with sending troops. ”

After Cao Ren heard this, he said: "Hmph, it seems that Mr. Jia is really afraid of Liu Xiu, or his heart is towards Liu Xiu." It seems that it is difficult to count on Mr. Jia. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he sighed lightly.

The effect of Liu Xiu's use of the discord meter came before, and this is the effect caused by the pimple. In other words, when Huo Jun didn't come, such a situation would definitely not happen, and Cao Ren would never deny his suggestion so much, nor would he be so sarcastic.

The current situation is that Cao Ren is openly opposed to him.
