Chang'an City, somewhere dwelling.

Inside this house, in the study.

A middle-aged man sat upright, and on the desk in front of the middle-aged man, there was a letter.

The epistle had been opened, and the middle-aged man had already read the contents of the epistle.

"Prime Minister, you have given up your humble position!"

The middle-aged man muttered to himself, and his face showed a look of helplessness.

The middle-aged man's name is Qin Wei, and he is secretly the leader of Cao Cao's spies who stayed in Chang'an, ostensibly the captain of Dongcheng in Chang'an City, responsible for the defense of Dongcheng. Although Cao 'Cao' wanted to attack Liu Xiu's camp, this strategy was very good. But in fact, the strategy is based on the unreliability of the Chang'an City family. After he is exposed, the family in Chang'an City will definitely reveal the news, and he will be in danger again.

However, with his family in Yecheng, Qin Wei had no choice.

Qin Wei took a deep breath and ordered, "Come on!"

As the words fell, a soldier walked in.

Qin Wei looked at the soldiers and ordered: "Go and invite Song Yuan, the head of the Song family, Zhu Yan, the head of the Zhu family, and Xue Yan, the head of the Xue family, to come to the mansion to discuss matters." ”

"No!"

The soldier received the order, turned and left.

About two quarters of an hour later, Song Yuan, Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao all came to the mansion.

Qin Wei looked at the three people, waved his hand and said, "Three, please take a seat!"

After Song Yuan and the others sat down, Song Yuan smiled and said, "Captain Qin invited us to come, is there anything wrong?"

Qin Wei smiled and said, "I invite the three of you to discuss things." ”

After a pause, Qin Wei said, "What do the three of you think of Liu Xiu?"

Song Yuan glanced at Qin Wei, and then said, "Regarding Liu Xiu, this person is eloquent and strategic, and he can be a hero. This person has outstanding ability and is a fierce opponent of Cao's ''. Maybe, it may be possible to defeat Cao's ''. ”

Xue Zhao said: "Not to mention defeating Cao Cao, it is estimated that it is still possible to block Cao Cao's." ”

Zhu Yan said: "Liu Xiu is indeed powerful. ”

The three of them didn't know the specific situation, so they were all touting Liu Xiu.

Qin Wei knew that the three of them didn't dare to tell the truth now, so he said: "Three, I'm afraid it's impossible for Liu Xiu to resist Prime Minister Cao or defeat Prime Minister Cao. ”

"Why?"

Song Yuan's eyes narrowed, and there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

When Qin Wei said this, Song Yuan began to think in his heart.

Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao were also old foxes, and their expressions were solemn, waiting for Qin Wei's next words. Qin Wei's words just now can be regarded as throwing bricks to lead to 'jade', and the next words are the real point.

Qin Wei continued: "Liu Xiu and Prime Minister Cao Cheng 'fought' to fight, in my opinion, there are three reasons for the defeat. ”

"First, Liangzhou is in the hands of Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Liangzhou was under the command of the prime minister, and once Liangzhou sent troops, Chang'an was not only suppressed by Prime Minister Cao in the east, but also attacked in the west, and suffered from the enemy on the back. In the case of a two-sided attack, how long can Liu Xiu hold on?"

"Second, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has abundant grain and grass and sufficient troops. Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army is backed by Luoyang and Yingchuan, and can continuously dispatch soldiers and food, and can fight for a long time. But what about Liu Xiu? Liu Xiu's grain was first received by you, and then it was transported from the Meridian Road. However, the meridian road is dangerous, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, and it is difficult for soldiers to pass. Liu Xiu's grain and grass have been lost, and you still have help to help. But what about the soldiers? Once the soldiers are lost, I am afraid it will be difficult to make up for them. When the time comes, Liu Xiu is afraid that he will summon you again and ask you to donate accelerated 'private' soldiers to help Liu Xiu stabilize the situation. ”

"Third, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is in the center, with the Son of Heaven behind him. Prime Minister Cao Cheng acted in righteousness, and Liu Xiu went north to Chang'an, which was unreasonable. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu has no righteousness and does not occupy a reputation, how can it last for a long time?"

Qin Wei said three reasons in a row, and said: "Liu Xiu is giving you benefits now, but can it last long? The most important thing is that Prime Minister Cao Cheng can also give you these and even more. ”

Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Your Excellency is Prime Minister Cao's person?"

Qin Wei shook his head and said, "No, it's just that someone contacted me and gave me more benefits." ”

There is a difference between those who are Cao '' and those who are not Cao ''.

It was Cao '' who would definitely be killed after being caught. If it is not Cao 'Cao's '', then he is 'bewitched' by Cao's '' person, and he may be able to avoid death.

Zhu Yan asked, "What benefits does Cao's '' give you?"

Qin Wei replied: "After the matter is completed, let me serve as Jing Zhaoyin." ”

"Shhh

Zhu Yan took a deep breath, and there was a touch of shock on his face. Unexpectedly, Cao 'Cao' actually gave such a condition.

Zhu Yan said: "What conditions does Cao '' give us?"

Qin Wei smiled slightly and said, "After the matter is completed, in terms of Liu Xiu's conditions, it is guaranteed that the three of them can be crowned marquis." Even, the three of them can go to Yecheng as officials. If you don't want to, you can also be an official in Chang'an. ”

Zhu Yan looked at the other three, and his eyes were full of Shen's 'groan' and 'look'.

Qin Wei said: "Everyone, after this village, there will be no such shop. Wealth is in danger, it depends on whether the three of them can seize this opportunity. ”

Xue Zhao suddenly said: "My Xue family agreed, Liu Xiu bullied my Xue family so much, this time donating food and money, it is even more hollowed out of the Xue family's foundation." If Liu Xiu is not allowed to bleed heavily, he will not be able to revitalize the Xue family. ”

As soon as Xue Zhao spoke, Zhu Yan and Song Yuan couldn't sit still.

If they don't agree, I'm afraid they won't.

Song Yuan said: "Since the Xue family has agreed, my Song family is also willing to agree." ”

Qin Wei's eyes fell on Zhu Yan, and at this time, Zhu Yan was left alone.

Zhu Yan said: "The Xue family, the Zhu family and the Song family advance and retreat together. Since both the Xue family and the Song family have agreed, my Zhu family has no reason to retreat. ”

After a pause, Zhu Yan said, "Qin Wei, tell me what Prime Minister Cao Cheng did?"

Qin Wei saw that the three of them agreed, and a smile appeared on his face, but in his heart, he sighed lightly.

The three major families agreed on the surface, but in their hearts, they were afraid that they were vain and wronged.

Qin Weizheng said: "Prime Minister Cao's plan this time is to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road, and at that time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will send troops to feint to attack the meridian road." ”

"You must know that the Meridian Road is Liu Xiu's retreat, and it is also the necessary place for Liu Xiu's granary and soldiers to pass through. ”

"Once the Meridian Road is lost, Liu Xiu will become a lone army. ”

"So no matter how many soldiers are stationed in Liu Xiu's meridian road, once Prime Minister Cao Cheng sends troops to attack, Liu Xiu will definitely send troops to rescue. ”

"As long as Liu Xiu divides his troops, Liu Xiu's battalion will be empty. When the time comes, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will pour out his army and attack the camp with all his might, and seize the camp in one fell swoop. ”

Qin Wei carefully analyzed, Zhu Yan, Song Yuan and Xue Zhao all had a look of approval on their faces.

This plan is quite good.

Attack where it must be saved.

No matter what, Liu Xiu had to send troops to the rescue.

Even, this plan has a lot of 'manipulation'?

It's just that Liu Xiu is not an ordinary person, and it is not easy to defeat Liu Xiu.

Song Yuan's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly said: "Prime Minister Cao's plan is quite good, and it will definitely succeed." Therefore, I agree with this plan, and the Song family fully supports Prime Minister Cao. ”

Xue Zhao knew Song Yuan's attitude, and he had to express his attitude: "The Xue family will also give full support." In this battle, we will win, and we will definitely defeat Liu Xiu. ”

Zhu Yan had a smile on his face and said, "This battle will be won!"

The three of them all had a heart-warming expression on their faces that they had to defeat Liu Xiu.

Qin Wei nodded and said, "The three of them are really heroes, okay, the three of them will go down and prepare." The day when Prime Minister Cao Cheng led the army to attack Liu Xiu's camp was the day we raised our troops. ”

"Farewell!"

Zhu Yan stood up, turned around and left.

Song Yuan said: "Farewell!"

Xue Zhao also bowed, and then left.

After the three of them left, they didn't pay any attention to each other, but went straight back to their respective homes.

After the three of them returned to their residences, they did the same thing, they all changed their clothes, pretended to be ordinary people and quietly left the mansion and went to Liu Xiu's camp outside the city.
