Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan hadn't been happy for long, and a puzzled look appeared in their eyes again.

Generally speaking, Zhang He's deception plan is quite meritorious, but how to operate the specific steps?

This question can only be answered by Zhang He.

So Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan looked at Zhang He together.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Zhang He continued to say confidently:

"In order to succeed in the scheme of fraudulent surrender, in addition to conforming to the situation, the person who surrendered by fraud must also have a certain identity and have a valid reason, so as to make the fraudulent surrender plan twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing Zhang He say this, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan nodded.

For example, Meng Da at the beginning, his identity at that time was a powerful general under Mi Yang, if it weren't for this, Cao Ren would not have been overjoyed after hearing the news of Meng Da's willingness to surrender.

And Meng Da at that time did have a precedent of being belittled by Liu Bei, that is to say, from common sense, he had a reason to betray Liu Bei.

Seeing that Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan agreed with his words, Zhang He finally said directly:

"Therefore, if you want to make Mi Yang gain trust to the greatest extent, the only way for me to use myself as bait and go to deceive Mi Yang."

As soon as Zhang He's words fell, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan, who still had a look of recognition on their faces, suddenly had a look of shock on their faces.

They would never have thought that Zhang He would actually use himself as the one who surrendered.

Just shocked, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan couldn't help but think about it carefully.

In terms of identity, Zhang He can be regarded as the real power of the Wei army general in Chang'an City.

In terms of the reason, well, Zhang He is indeed not a pure minister.

During the Guandu War, didn't Zhang He do anything about surrendering directly due to unfavorable circumstances?

If you go back further, after Yuan Shao plotted to seize Jizhou, Zhang He was also the fastest apostatous Han Fu courtier at that time.

Relying on these two examples alone, it seems easier to convince Mi Yang that Zhang He really surrendered.

After all, compared with Meng Da's one backer, Zhang He has carried it twice, not worse than the third time.

But the important thing is that because of those two cases in the past, how can Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan guarantee that Zhang He really wants to surrender Mi Yang this time?

If Zhang He secretly colluded with Mi Yang in the name of fraud, wouldn't Chang'an City be dangerous?

As soon as they thought of this, the gazes of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan looking at Zhang He instantly became wrong.

Cao Zhang's and Xiahou Nan's strange gazes were quickly captured by Zhang He, and Zhang He, who understood the deep meaning of their eyes, suddenly turned red.

It seems that Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan can't blame him for thinking so much.

Zhang He is also a person who has betrayed the Lord twice, and there are feelings of shame for him, but there must not be much.

Zhang He quickly suppressed a trace of shame in his heart, and then arched his hands to Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan:

"Although I have done this for the second time in the past, I was alone and without my family.

It's different now.

Since I returned to the first emperor, the first emperor gave me marriage to help me spread out in Xudu and breed my family.

Now, thanks to His Majesty's grace, my family is raised in Luoyang.

The first emperor is now deeply affectionate to his ministers, and the ministers are not ungrateful! ”

Zhang He's tone was sonorous and powerful, and he was doing his best to make Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan believe in him.

After listening to Zhang He's words, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan glanced at each other, and there was a little more confidence in Zhang He's look in their eyes.

Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan were not fools, of course they could hear the meaning of Zhang He's words.

On the surface, Zhang He's every sentence is telling about Cao Cao and Cao Pi's kindness to him, but what Zhang He actually wants to express is that his family is under Cao Wei's control!

This is the strong support that Zhang He used to win the trust of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan.

The deep meaning that Zhang He wanted to express was not in vain, in the eyes of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan, with Zhang He's family in hand, there was indeed no need to worry too much about Zhang He's rebellion.

After all, Zhang He's age is not young, and the severance of the heir is still a great deterrent for him.

After believing in Zhang He for the time being, Cao Zhang immediately changed his face.

A hearty laugh came out of his mouth, and Cao Zhang came to Zhang He's side and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"General Zuo is really careless.

General Zuo has made many contributions to the Great Wei over the years, how could Gu suspect that General Zuo is an ungrateful person?

The reason why Gu Fangcai hesitated was because he was worried that if General Zuo went deep into the tiger's den, how would your safety be guaranteed! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang's face really showed a little worried.

It was as if he had really never been suspicious of Zhang He, and it was as if he was really worried about Zhang He's safety at the moment.

But Cao Zhang's words still made Zhang He understand what he really meant.

If you choose to go to Hanying in person, then I still won't be relieved.

In Cao Wei's treacherous dye vat, being able to understand the meaning of the words is a skill that almost any courtier must learn if he wants to survive.

Decades of trembling have made Zhang He a master in this regard.

Looking at Cao Zhang's "worried" face, Zhang He arched his hand and said:

"The minister will not go to the Han camp."

Hearing Zhang He's assurance, Xiahou Nan on the side also laughed at this time.

Xiahou Nan walked up to Zhang He, patted Zhang He's other shoulder with his hand, and said with satisfaction: "If this is the case, Ziwen and I can sleep peacefully!" ”

After eliminating the hidden worries in his heart, Cao Zhang withdrew the hand that was patted on Zhang He's shoulder, and then asked:

"If Qing doesn't go in person, what should Qing do?"

In the face of Cao Zhang's inquiry, Zhang He bowed down to Cao Zhang and said his thoughts.

After listening to Zhang He's thoughts, Cao Zhang first thought about it, and then a smile appeared on his face:

"Qing, what a talent!"

"Everything will be done according to what Qing said."

Weishui can be described as the mother river of Guanzhong.

Weishui not only provides water for the county towns along its borders, but it also extends into many tributaries that irrigate the entire Guanzhong Plain.

Outside Chang'an City alone, there are three tributaries of Weishui flowing through it.

Those three tributaries will become the main water intake places inside and outside Chang'an City during the agricultural period.

In wartime, those three tributaries will be the three natural lines of defense to the west of Chang'an.

It's a pity that even if there are natural dangers to rely on, Chang'an City, which is currently in turmoil, is no longer able to divide its forces to go out to stop the Han army.

Without any resistance, the Han army, which was marching rapidly, crossed the three Weishui tributaries in two days and came safely a few miles outside the city of Chang'an.

The Wei army scouts outside Chang'an City had already shown fear on their faces after seeing a large number of majestic Han troops appear on the horizon.

And as the Han army continued to approach, after they saw the millet battle flag, the whole person was even worse.

So a very urgent military situation was transmitted from outside Chang'an City to Cao Zhang's hands at the fastest speed.

After learning the news of Mi Yang's arrival, Cao Zhang couldn't help but take a deep breath because of his nervousness.

But he soon ordered the scouts in front of him to go in search of Zhang He.

Looking at the back of the scout leaving, Cao Zhang slightly relaxed and exhaled the breath he had just inhaled.

There was a plan before the loss.

Hope all the best!

Mi Yang rode on a war horse, looking at the majestic city from afar.

Whether it is in the past life or the present life, Mi Yang is the first time to see Chang'an City.

Perhaps because of the distance, Mi Yang couldn't see the whole picture of Chang'an City at the first time.

But just a glimpse of the leopard in the tube was enough to make Mi Yang's heart rise with admiration for Chang'an City.

Such a majestic and magnificent city is really worthy of the home of my great man.

Magnificent enough!

Inspired by the admiration in his heart, Mi Yang was about to give another order to let the whole army continue to speed up.

But before Mi Yang's order was issued, an unexpected news suddenly reached Mi Yang's ears.

"There is a messenger visiting Chang'an City?"

Mi Yang looked at Huang Quan under the horse with some confusion.

Mi Yang didn't expect this to happen at first.

After pondering for a while, Mi Yang asked Huang Quandao:

"Do you know whose messenger it is?"

Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Huang Quan replied with a fifteen-ten: "According to the messenger captured by the scout, he was sent by Zhang He. ”

Huang Quan's return deepened the surprise in Mi Yang's heart.

But at the same time, interest rose in his heart.

From the information found before, it can be seen that the current commander of the Wei army in Chang'an City is Cao Zhang.

If Cao Chang sent an envoy to come, then this envoy would have brought Cao Wei's official contact.

But now that this envoy was sent by Zhang He, then things will be interesting.

Privately sent an envoy to contact him, what Zhang He's thoughts were was something to look forward to.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang asked Huang Quan to bring that Zhang He's envoy over, and at the same time ordered some important generals to be summoned.

When Zhang He's envoy came to Mi Yang's horse, those important generals also rode their horses to Mi Yang's side.

This also made Zhang He's envoy surrounded by a group of Han generals.

Looking at the tiger-waisted bear-backed and vicious Han generals riding on horses around him, Zhang He's envoy was already trembling with fright.

Looking at Mi Yang who was sitting on the horse and looking at him with interest, Zhang He's envoy couldn't hold back the tension in his heart anymore, and he was so frightened that he knelt down directly to Mi Yang.

Mi Yang has seen a lot of envoys in recent years, but this is the first time he has seen this one who has no guts in front of him.

Even Na Yu turned his knees, but at least he was tough at first.

The audacity of Zhang He's envoy made Mi Yang's interest in him decrease a lot.

Mi Yang, who was less interested, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and asked Zhang He's envoy a little impatiently: "Why did Zhang He send you here?" ”

Under Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhang He's envoy, who was terrified in his heart, actually cried and said to Mi Yang:

"My family Langjun is in awe of the great general's divine might, and he is willing to surrender to the general and offer Chang'an City to the Han!"

Hearing Zhang He's envoy say this, not only the eyes of the Han generals around him lit up, but even Mi Yang instantly regained his interest.

Mi Yang scolded Ding Feng behind him:

"Still stunned for what to do.

Why don't you hurry up and help up the messenger sent by you. ”

In his words, Mi Yang no longer called Zhang He by his name, but affectionately called Zhang He's name.

Ding Feng, who was suddenly "reprimanded" by Mi Yang, was stunned at first, but after glancing at the outside of Chang'an City not far away, he immediately jumped off the horse and helped Zhang He's envoy up.

After helping Zhang He's envoy, Ding Feng also carefully patted the dust on Zhang He's knees for Zhang He's envoy.

The main one service is in place.

Mi Yang's gentleness and Ding Feng's caring movements made the look of fear on Zhang He's envoy's face lower a lot.

Seeing that Zhang He's envoy's mood slowly stabilized, Mi Yang leaned over and asked with a smile:

"Lingjia Langjun is now the general of the anti-Wei Zuo, which can be described as a high authority, why would he suddenly want to surrender to Lonely?"

Mi Yang asked one thing he was most concerned about at the moment.

Although Zhang He has the glorious achievements of "three surnamed retainers", it is always a little suspicious to suddenly surrender.

Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhang He's envoy immediately said:

After the news that the general led the army into Jingzhao spread in Chang'an City, due to the impact of the First Battle of Nanzheng, many soldiers in the city cried:

"Chang'an City is about to be flooded, and we are going to die!"

Seeing that the army's heart is like this, my family Langjun feels that Chang'an City cannot be defended after all.

Moreover, Chang'an City was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there were traitors in the world before, which made Chang'an City dusty to this day.

Today's great general Wu Wei Xuanhe is a personal expedition on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and my family Langjun was a Han courtier before, how can he not surrender to the general in his heart? ”

After Zhang He's envoy said the above words, he was secretly observing Mi Yang's expression.

These words were taught to him by Zhang He before he set off.

He didn't know how much Mi Yang could believe these words.

Under the observation of Zhang He's envoy, he found that after listening to his words, Mi Yang did not have any obvious suspicious or thoughtful look on his face.

All he saw was noncommittal.

Mi Yang's calmness made Zhang He's envoy feel as if there was a murderous intent haunting him.

Just when Zhang He's envoy was nervous, Mi Yang asked again:

"What you said just now that you want to offer Chang'an City to Gu, but as far as Gu knows, the current master of Chang'an City will be Cao Zhang.

With Cao Zhang, how can he successfully dedicate the city to Lonely? ”

Seeing Mi Yang ask about this matter, the messenger who remembered Zhang He's instructions hurriedly replied:

"Cao Zhang has been drinking heavily every day since he returned from the street pavilion.

In the past few days, after learning that the general had arrived with his army, it was rare to be sober for a few days.

What my family Langjun means is that I ask the general to temporarily retire for ten miles, so that Cao Chang will definitely revert to his old ways.

At that time, my family Lang Jun can take the opportunity to take his head, and as soon as Cao Zhang dies, Chang'an City will naturally be in the general's pocket. ”

After listening to Zhang He's envoy's words, Mi Yang's eyes narrowed.

After quietly looking at Zhang He's envoy for a long time, Mi Yang finally said with a smile:

"He's really scheming!"

Mi Yang's "affirmation" made Zhang He's envoy very happy.

"You go back to the city and tell him that if our army retreats rashly, it will definitely cause Cao Zhang's doubts.

In order to make the plan foolproof, although Lone will not retreat, he will not advance half a mile to Chang'an from today onwards.

Lone is here waiting for his good news! ”

Mi Yang's words made Zhang He's envoy let go of the big stone in his heart.

Consciously completing his mission, after bowing to Mi Yang, he hurriedly returned to Chang'an City.

But what he didn't realize was that Mi Yang's address to Zhang He had quietly changed from a close man to an emotionless him.
