When the bamboo slip in Zhang He's hand fell on the case, there was an instant collision sound.

The sound of the collision reflected the chaotic mood in Zhang He's heart at the moment.

Zhang He is a famous general in the world, and he himself knows that he has never been truly trusted by the Cao family.

Therefore, when he listened to what the messenger said, he reacted almost immediately to how "vicious" the envoy's words were!

Zhang He looked deeply at the envoy in front of him with a suspicious gaze, if it weren't for the envoy's appearance and voice that hadn't changed, I'm afraid Zhang He would have suspected that this envoy was a spy sent by Mi Yang.

And the sound caused by the bamboo slips colliding with the book case also made Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan's eyes can't help but look at Zhang He's body in unison.

Seeing Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan's implicit gazes, Zhang He's heart rose in panic.

Zhang He subconsciously remembered to defend himself.

But before Zhang He got up, Cao Zhang's face showed a look that seemed to be smiling, and he waved his hand to stop Zhang He.

"Why is General Zuo anxious, Lone's words haven't been asked yet."

"That's right, the envoy just reported the truth, could it be that General Zuo's eagerness thinks that the envoy said something that shouldn't be said?"

Xiahou Nan's words also reached Zhang He's ears at the right time.

Cao Zhang's and Xiahou Nan's words directly caused Zhang He's body to fall back to his seat again.

Cao Zhang's singing and harmony with Xiahou Nan is enough to show that the two of them have doubts about him.

Or that Cao Chang and Xiahou Nan themselves had doubts about him, and the envoy's truthful report only deepened this suspicion.

And even if Zhang He has the heart to explain himself at the moment, he also knows that he must not speak rashly now.

Otherwise, it will only get darker and darker.

So Zhang He could only look at Cao Zhang silently, and let the envoy completely repeat all the situation at that time.

After listening to everything that happened in front of Mi Yang, Xiahou Nan couldn't help but snort coldly, and Cao Zhang's eyes slowly narrowed.

"You mean, Mi Yang's attitude was originally arrogant, but after hearing that you are General Zuo's envoy, his attitude suddenly became gentle?"

In the face of Cao Zhang's targeted question, as the envoy of the loyal ministers of the Great Wei, he naturally had something to say.

"Yes!"

"You also said that Mi Yang was not angry when he vetoed it after hearing the suggestion to retreat ten miles.

And before you could make a request not to besiege Chang'an City, Mi Yang himself made a statement of this first? ”

Dawei Zhongchen continued to say: "Yes! ”

After the two "Ran Ye" of the envoy fell into the ears of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan, the eyes of the two of them became deeper and deeper.

And when Zhang He heard the two "Ran Ye" from the messenger, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of big hands, making him feel a little difficult to breathe.

Sounds like everything is going well.

Sounds like Mi Yang is easy to coax.

Is it possible to get on two points?

Is it common sense?

As long as you extrapolate a little logically, you will feel how ridiculous those two points are.

There is something strange inside, and these four words suddenly appeared in the minds of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan.

And with the next words of the envoy, Cao Zhang even wanted to directly open the case.

It turned out that the messenger saw that Cao Zhang's face was wrong, and he thought that Cao Zhang was still hesitating, so he said:

When the minister and Mi Yang were talking, all the enemy generals were present.

Mi Yang swore in front of the generals that he believed in General Zuo's surrender! ”

As soon as the envoy's words came out, Zhang He was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground!

The people of the world attach great importance to faith, not to mention Mi Yang's current identity in the world, and he can clearly express this attitude in front of all the Han generals, which shows that he really believes in his surrender.

But isn't that funnier?

Zhang He couldn't hold back any longer.

His panicked eyes looked at Cao Zhang, who was about to overturn the table, and at that moment, Zhang He first got up and bowed to Cao Zhang:

"Your Highness, don't forget, the captain had a plan back then!"

Zhang He's reminder calmed Cao Zhang's mood a little.

Zhang He was referring to Jia Xu.

During the Battle of Tongguan that year, Jia Xu used a famous counter-strategy, which directly caused the huge Xiliang coalition army to fall apart.

Since the purpose of the envoy to visit Mi Yang was to pretend to surrender, then he could essentially be classified into the category of "between".

And through the "intermittent" sent by one's own side, which causes one's own side to make a wrong decision, it can be called a counter-intrigue scheme.

I have to say that Zhang He's reminder is reasonable.

Judging from the current situation, although the possibility is not high, the possibility of Mi Yang playing a counter-strategy cannot be completely ruled out.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang's mood calmed down a little.

Compared with the anti-intrigue scheme, because he didn't trust Zhang He in his heart, Cao Zhang thought that it was more likely that Zhang He and Mi Yang had secretly colluded before.

Under the strong suspicion in his heart, although Cao Zhang did not immediately take drastic measures, it was impossible for Cao Zhang to let Zhang He go.

"How do you prove yourself?"

Cao Zhang's words to Zhang He at the moment can already be called cold.

Obviously, at this moment, Cao Zhang thinks that he no longer needs to show the fake warm face he had before to Zhang He.

Cao Zhang's tone also affected Xiahou Nan.

His reaction was not as fast as Cao Zhang's, but through Cao Zhang's current words, Xiahou Nan, who was slower to react, should also come back to his senses.

Xiahou Nan immediately looked at Zhang He with a suspicious gaze.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I think of the things Zhang He did in the past, and the more Xiahou Nan looks at it, the more he feels that Zhang He is like a spy.

After all, so many families full of discipline have rebelled, so what's so strange about Zhang He, a "retainer with three surnames", becoming a spy?

Thanks to the current master of Chang'an City, Cao Zhang, if it is Xiahou Nan, I am afraid that Zhang He will have been imprisoned by Suona at this time.

Listening to Cao Zhang's cold words, and then looking at the dangerous eyes of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan, a bitter color appeared on Zhang He's face.

Obviously, even if his family is in Luoyang at the moment, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan no longer believe in this layer of protection.

Anyone who has crawled through Cao Wei's officialdom knows a truth very well - people's hearts are like ghosts, and they have never been able to look at them directly!

It's just that if he doesn't even believe in this layer of protection, what more convincing guarantee can he come up with?

But Zhang He is worthy of being Zhang He, and in a hurry, he really came up with a solution:

"If Your Highness has any doubts, why don't you send a confidant as a messenger to ask to see Mi Yang.

When he asks to see Mi Yang, His Royal Highness can let his henchmen knock on the side, so that the truth will naturally be known when His Royal Highness's henchmen come back. ”

Zhang He's words made Cao Zhang's words fall into deep thought.

I have to say that what Zhang He said makes sense.

In order to succeed, it often depends on the suspicion in people's hearts.

Just like Jia Xu's counter-tactics back then, he deliberately asked Cao Cao to make many alterations in his letter to Han Sui.

The main purpose of this point is to infinitely amplify Ma Chao's suspicion of Han Sui.

Although I am not sure that there is a cat greasy, there is a high possibility that there is a cat greasy, so I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

But there is also a very important reason why Jia Xu adopted the method of wiping books back then, that is, there was nothing between Han Sui and Cao Cao at that time.

At that time, Cao Cao did not know some military secrets of the Western Liang Army.

Otherwise, Jia Xu would have directly written down the military secrets he knew in the letter, which would undoubtedly achieve better results.

It can be seen from this case that if you want to clear Zhang He's suspicion at the moment, it is indeed the most effective to send a clever henchman to ask Mi Yang to find out again.

Under Zhang He's life-saving advice, Cao Zhang, who had pondered, took a deep look at Zhang He.

"You go down first.

The orphan will send someone to do what you say. ”

Cao Zhang's words made Zhang He seem to have picked up a life.

He firmly believes that as long as Cao Zhang's henchmen are gone, then everything will be revealed.

After all, he really hasn't had a secret conversation with Mi Yang, what can Mi Yang come up with!

After Zhang He left the lobby, Xiahou Nan came to Cao Zhang's side.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiahou Nan couldn't help but remind Cao Zhang:

"When the first emperor was alive, he taught us many times that people with foreign surnames should not be trusted, and we must guard against them for the rest of our lives.

The first emperor also taught, it is better for me to bear the people of the world than for the people of the world to bear me! ”

Xiahou Nan's two reminders clearly express his attitude.

And how could Cao Zhang forget these two teachings that Cao Cao taught him before his death?

It's just that the current situation in Chang'an City is not optimistic, and Zhang He's status is different, Cao Zhang feels that it is better to be safe.

Faced with Xiahou Nan's two reminders, Cao Zhang sneered and said:

"The Lone Society sent someone to watch him.

If he had never been in touch with Mi Yang, it would be easy to say.

On the contrary, Lone will not show mercy. ”

Hearing Cao Zhang's words, Xiahou Nan let go of the worries in his heart.

Cao Zhang's arrangement is good.

As Cao Zhang said, after Zhang He returned to the mansion, he did send someone to guard Zhang He's mansion.

And such an action naturally can't hide from Zhang He, who has led the troops for many years.

When Zhang He learned that he was being watched by someone sent by Cao Zhang, the original composure in his heart disappeared in an instant.

An uneasiness mixed with anger was invading Zhang He's heart at a very fast speed.

I'd rather be responsible for the world than for the world to bear me!

Cao Cao's famous saying, how could Zhang He not have heard it.

And as a descendant of Cao Cao, how could Cao Zhang not be able to comprehend the essence of this sentence.

If this is the case, then even if it turns out that he is innocent afterwards, will Cao Zhang definitely let himself go?

When this rhetorical question appeared in his heart, Zhang He's heart couldn't help but become manic.

Whether the Cao people will kill innocent people in vain is a matter that everyone in the world knows.

Thinking that Kong Rong angered Cao Cao because of his repeated outspokenness, Cao Cao directly ordered people to fabricate charges to slander Kong Rong in order to kill Kong Rong, and ignored the world's boiling material opinions, and exterminated Kong Rong all over the door.

Kong Rong after the saint still ended up like this, and what about him Zhang He?

Thinking of this, Zhang He hurriedly summoned a confidant and whispered a few words to him.

When the henchman left quickly, Zhang He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He will not take the initiative to betray Great Wei, but he will never sit idly by either!

When the dark tide was surging in Chang'an City, the envoy sent by Cao Zhang came to the Han army camp on the second day to ask for Mi Yang.

The emissary's ostensible name naturally claimed to be sent by Zhang He.

When Mi Yang, who was in the camp, learned the news, he summoned the messenger with some speculation in his heart.

There are two messengers who came today, one was seen by Mi Yang yesterday, and the other was something that Mi Yang had never seen yesterday.

Seeing that there was suddenly an unfamiliar messenger, Mi Yang was a little more sure of the guess in his heart.

The matter of private collusion is secretive, and under normal circumstances, it is not rash to add or change messengers.

Although Zhang He is a fake surrender, the so-called drama has to be done with a full set, and there is no need for Zhang He to change this basic arrangement.

Once it is changed, there will naturally be something wrong.

As for what happened, imagine that you can guess seven or eight points.

Moreover, even if Mi Yang's speculation is wrong, one thing will not change.

That is what he said today, and it will definitely reach Cao Zhang's ears.

That being the case, then:

I'm still holding on to my last breath, right, it's okay, I'll keep pushing.

After Mi Yang saw Zhang He's envoy, he said with a reproachful look on his face:

"I have already told Jun Yi that when contacting Lone, don't rashly send more people, otherwise it will be easy to leak the rumors.

The things that the lonely and the sloppy are planning are so great that they must not be negligent in the slightest. ”

Early with?

！

As soon as he heard these two words, the henchman sent by Cao Zhang immediately looked right.

But he also remembered Cao Zhang's instructions, and of course he would not make judgments in his heart because of Mi Yang's vague two sentences.

He would not speak rashly to make any changes in the tasks assigned to him by Cao Zhang.

And the messenger who came yesterday also knew what Cao Zhang's purpose was for sending him today.

So the envoy could only recall Cao Zhang's instructions, and asked about some things little by little.

Most of these things can be regarded as supplements to yesterday's scheme, and between Mi Yang and the envoy's questions and answers, they didn't let Cao Zhang's henchmen see anything strange.

It seems that Mi Yang and Zhang He are colluded, and it is really a matter of "dedicating Chang'an City".

Could it be that General Zuo is really innocent?

Just when Cao Zhang's henchmen had this judgment in his heart, what he didn't know was that a sly smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth.

When this smile appeared, Mi Yang seemed to have inadvertently remembered something, and then said to the two messengers of "Zhang He":

"Previously, Jun Yi had provided a piece of information to Gu, saying that Xu Chu would lead reinforcements to rescue Chang'an.

I also ask you to go back and tell the orphan:

Because of the information he provided, Gu had already sent elite soldiers to ambush Yu Bandao, and the support army that wanted to come to Xu Chu would not be able to reach Chang'an. ”

When Mi Yang said this, he emphasized and deepened his tone on the word "because", and on the surface he seemed to be commending Zhang He's "whistleblowing" work.

But when these words fell into the ears of Cao Zhang's confidants, his breathing couldn't help but become short.

General Huwei led the army to rescue Chang'an is a secret, and only a few high-ranking generals in Chang'an City know about it!

According to common sense, Mi Yang would not have learned this news!

Unless someone leaks secrets to Mi Yang.

Who is that person, didn't Mi Yang say it very clearly?

And the exact evidence that Cao Zhang wants, isn't this there?

As soon as he thought of this, as a member of the Cao family, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists.

Zhang He, you really damn it!

Tomorrow 2 Chapter ~

I got bad news today that my operating officer is being treated for cancer.

My heart is sad to hear this news.

I sincerely wish him all the best in his treatment, and I hope you can send him all your best wishes.

Because he, like most of you, is a very pure idealist who loves Ji Han.
