"Let's go," Zhang Liao hugged Huang Zhong with a fist, turned around and left quickly, and immediately rolled away after ordering the soldiers and horses in less than a quarter of an hour.

His cavalry is very fast, and it is estimated that it will not take three days to catch up with Xu Zhen, or secretly protect him from going so dangerously.

Four hundred people, thinking about it is too thin, Zhang Liao can't wait to transfer all 30,000 people under his command, one Gao Shun and one Dian Wei, I'm afraid I can't resist so many assassinations.

After all, people have ulterior motives, if you take precautions, how can you prevent them all?!

"Father!"

In the Shucheng Bureau, Huang Xu asked puzzledly: "What if the rider himself deliberately did this?" ”

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, "Joke, if it's deliberate, why don't you tell me in advance?" Instead of dividing my army?! ”

"Yes, you just don't want us to go, so you set up an army!"

Huang Xu's ponytail is swaying, his face is white and handsome, his posture is straight, he has learned marksmanship under Zhao Yun over the years, and Huang Zhong personally taught archery at home, and now he is also a fierce general.

There are few opponents in the army, and the younger generation admires him quite a lot.

There are already more than 3,000 people who can lead the army, and they have made a lot of achievements on weekdays, but they like to mix with Zhuge Liang, so their thoughts are more or less affected, or they have to be taught.

Huang Zhong was stunned, his eyes shook slightly, and he immediately coughed, "I don't care about this, anyway, the car rider didn't say it, so you can't let yourself be in danger, it's too dangerous!" ”

"Don't ask so much! Hurry up and do your part! ”

"I know, pick it up!"

Huang Xu smiled helplessly, since General Zhang Liao had already left, it was useless to say anything now, he could only wait for him to go to the front of the chariot, and two thousand more people should be able to protect him all the way.

Before coming to Shucheng, Huang Xu had already figured out one thing, the chariot rode away, and was angrily scolded by the prime minister, and with public anger, the chariot was transferred to Youzhou.

The edict of the Son of Heaven was prepared, and he was transferred from Jizhou Mu to Youzhou Mu and the State Assassin History.

Combined, these two places are not as prosperous as one Jizhou.

In this way, on the surface, it seems that the prime minister was furious, took action to rectify it, and gave the rider a charge of personal vendetta in the communiqué, which made the Jingzhou scholars immediately celebrate.

But of course, a small number of people know that there is no anger, but it is just deliberate, and the two have already thought of these strategies.

Therefore, this trip to the tiger and leopard ride was only thirty miles.

In the middle of Nanyang County and Runan County, there were no soldiers and horses to meet them, and this section of the road was more dangerous, because there were only 400 people on chariots.

Why is it arranged?!

Huang Xu knew in his heart that this was probably some strategy, and at the same time, the Cao clan also had to act secretly, or some people wanted to see if the chariot had not fought for so many years, and now they could still use troops and fight in person.

Perhaps, there is also Cao's temptation to ride a car.

This trip, I am afraid that it is a treacherous and unpredictable situation, and the hearts of all parties are easily tested, and once they are really assassinated, how the soldiers under the command of Che Qi react is actually very important.

If you want to see it, then this time you can see enough.

As for cycling, what is the mind...... Huang Xu couldn't guess, but he always believed that Xu Cheqi would never let himself be in prison.

"Father, after picking up people, after we arrive in Runan, we still have to send troops to the ferry to meet the chariots," Huang Xu thought for a long time, and still instructed before leaving.

"Got it!"

Huang Zhong grinned a few times, looked at his son with satisfaction, and muttered: "This kid, now he actually knows that he has given me an order, and he has used his troops, alas, it is better than before." ”

Huang Xu was at the beginning, but he was terminally ill and about to die, and now he can still be commendable.

……

Xiangyang.

In the backyard of the government office, Cao Cao recently handed over political affairs to Guo Jia and Xun You, and he rested at home safely.

Therefore, after taking over Jingzhou, it is really much easier, Cao Cao doesn't have to do anything, and he can sit back and relax.

But now, Cao Anmin came to send him a piece of information, which he had never opened and read, and Cao Cao smiled when he picked it up.

"Assassination, assassination, blatant assassination of my favorite Berwen, these people deserve to die."

Cao Cao accepted the letter and put it in the inner pocket of his clothes, his face was not much moved, as if he had seen an ordinary message.

Cao Anmin sent the letter and left, and bowed to Cao Pi, in the courtyard, only Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his son were left, and the scene was very quiet for a while, and no one spoke.

Cao Cao was observing the vegetation and flowers planted in the courtyard, Cao Pi heard about the assassination, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he stood in place and waited quietly for his father to speak.

He knew that his father would definitely talk about it, but he would definitely wear out his patience, mainly because Cao Pi had thought of some news before, so he couldn't pretend not to know.

Cao Zhen is no longer in Xiangyang, and he knows about it.

"Zihuan," I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao finally spoke, interrupting all Cao Pi's thoughts with one sound, he coughed twice and cleared his throat, immediately approached, bowed down and said, "Father." ”

"Did you participate in the assassination of Xu Bowen?"

"Me? Why did I assassinate my brother? Father, what are you asking? Cao Pi replied blankly, accompanied by a wry smile, and his feet began to tremble slightly.

But the reaction is very subtle, and it will not be noticed, his father has always been like this, he likes to torture him with these words, this is also a test, after getting used to it, Cao Pi's heart can also be tempered, although he doesn't know what is wrong with his father.

For himself, he is always different from his brother, as if the two of them have completely different positions in his heart.

"Didn't you? I learned the news two days ago that Zidan had left Xiangyang and led troops to inspect the north of Nanyang to exterminate the local bandits, who were said to be mountain people in the Bowang area, and informed the officials that there were mountain bandits, so they sent troops to suppress them. ”

"Seems to be the case."

Cao Pi recalled for a moment, as if he remembered.

Cao Cao smiled, "What are you hiding?" Do I not know what you are doing? It was nothing more than an attempt to be able to kill Berwen. ”

"Bowen has made great achievements in his life, especially in my Cao family, which can be called a great kindness, if it is an ordinary suppression, of course, it can't, even if he makes a mistake, I will punish him, he can only descend openly and secretly."

"If so, you can seriously injure him, even stab him to death! can make my Cao family really have no worries, now, all the princes in the world, only he Xu Zhen is the only one, and it is my Cao family's trouble! Right?! ”

Cao Cao laughed easily, and Cao Pi was suddenly dazed, "I don't know what my father is talking about, isn't my brother my Cao family's benefactor?" ”

"Over the years, no one has made any achievements."

Cao Pi opened his dry lips slightly, and his face slowly turned pale, as if he didn't understand and was a little worried.

Cao Cao glanced at him deeply and chuckled again, "It's okay, if you can succeed, I will definitely not punish you, but will reward you secretly." ”

"Why?" Cao Pi's expression moved, and he asked curiously.

"It's time for Berwen to lay down his military power a little, and likewise, I want to see which of his generals will die for him if he is assassinated."

"A rare opportunity."

"You have done a good job, including you, you already have a long-term vision and have begun to plan for the Cao family, and in the future, Zihuan can also have a merit in this business."

Cao Cao nodded approvingly, Cao Pi smiled, this is a rare praise from his father, and he couldn't help scratching his head for a while, "No matter what, it's all the merits of Uncle Zixiao." ”

"Sure enough."

Cao Cao's tone was cold, and suddenly the entire courtyard seemed to be frost, and the temperature instantly froze, Cao Pi was dumbfounded, and when he stared at his father again, there was still a smile on his face.

It was all cold anger, this anger was not a visible outburst on the outside at all, but the ice and snow hidden in his heart, and even the shaking of his beard showed that he couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart.

"Father, Father......"

Cao Pi's smile froze.

I was still complacent just now, this expression is clearly deceiving me...... Father, this is a trick on me!!

"Say! Whose idea was it! ”

Cao Cao drank coldly, and habitually touched the sword with his left hand, but he didn't bring the sword with him, but this action had frightened Cao Pi and prostrate himself directly on the ground.

"Uncle Zilian's letter! Sent from Xuzhou, the secret letter was sent to Uncle Zixiao, and then Uncle Zixiao and Zidan discussed, and the two planned to do it! ”

"If you go to 1,500 people from Xiangyang, my father will definitely not find out! Then Xuzhou and Yangzhou will go south to more than 1,000 people! Disguise yourself as a mountain bandit and intercept and kill! You can ambush your brother along the way and assassinate or seriously injure your brother! ”

"Preferably a serious injury! Or if you are captured alive, you don't have to kill your brother in the future, and if you fail, you can evacuate as well! Anyway, it is clear that this time it is the Jingzhou Shi clan! ”

"We will never be suspicious, all of them are the living faces and dead soldiers of the soldiers!"

Cao Pi is very simple, he knows his father too well.

Either don't admit it, once it is detected, then it must not be carried to death, otherwise it will cause greater disaster.

This kind of thing will not allow him to punish the clan elders, after all, the incident has not happened yet, and if he sends a flying horse to chase it, he can stop it.

"Although Er knew, he was told by Zidan and did not participate, and the only culpability was, no, he didn't drink ......"

"A bunch of idiots!"

Cao Cao drank angrily, found his new saber not far away, pulled it out, put it on Cao Pi's neck, stared at him condescendingly and quite boredly, and said in a deep voice: "You really, didn't participate?!" ”

"Nope!"

Cao Pi's body trembled suddenly at the moment when it was touched by the tip of the sword, at this moment he really felt his father's murderous intent, and his heart was desperate and aggrieved.

If you knew it, you wouldn't admit it!

You should play dumb all the time!

Cao Cao stared at the change in his expression, the tip of the sword pressed inward slightly, Cao Pi's neck was punctured, and a drop of blood condensed into a bead of blood along the tip of the sword.

Feeling the pain, Cao Pi's body began to tremble sharply, and his hands clenched the sides of his clothes, not knowing whether his father was really angry, or if he was deliberately teaching himself this.

In short, he is now desperate and regretful in his heart.

"Not really! I just know! ”

"I will immediately ask Zixiao, if what he says is different from you, the death penalty is inevitable, as a son of man, you can't use deception for personal gain."

Cao Pi bit his lower lip at this time, his face was full of determination, he knelt and trembled, closed his eyes tightly and didn't know how to answer, and said in a deep voice after a while: "No!" Father, just ask! ”

"That's right," Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his other hand and put it on the top of Cao Pi's head, "In short, you and I are not involved, and you and I don't know about this matter." ”

"Father?"

Cao Pi opened his eyes and suddenly raised his head again, his expression slightly stunned and depressed.

It turned out that he was still testing me!

"Hmph," Cao Cao sneered, "If you want to hide your heart, you must learn from that Liu Xuande, hide it deeply, no one can see it, even you have to deceive yourself, otherwise, you will be stupid." ”

"Son, I don't understand what my father is talking about......"

Cao Pi seemed to be taught, and lowered his head to bow his head.

"Don't worry, I won't ask Zixiao."

Cao Cao smiled leisurely and relaxedly, his smile still full of love.

patted Cao Pi on the head a few times, and then said, "Water the flowers for me, and these vegetation will be handed over to you." ”

At night.

Cao Cao personally came to the main tent of the barracks, and walked into the big tent with his hands behind his back.

"Prime Minister!"

"What, you're here at the barracks today?!"

"Yes, is there something to order? Or is there someone making trouble? ”

"Hmm," Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, didn't feel much of a change in mood, and said in a very ordinary tone: "I'm just here to ask, how is the assassination of Bowen." ”

"This, this matter ......" Cao Ren's face was cold.

"I didn't order the assassination, it was for Zidan and others to secretly protect along the way, so as not to prevent Bowen from being plotted by the Jingzhou scholars, after all, he didn't have many guards along the way."

"Oh, does that Zihuan know about this?"

Cao Cao asked meaningfully, not pestering Cao Ren's statement, after all, this statement was very clever in Cao Cao's opinion.

Those who understand will not name names, and those who don't understand will praise Cao Ren for secretly protecting, which is a kindness.

If no one knows, that's fine.

That's what the old fox said.

"Yes."

"Involved?"

"Nope." Cao Ren immediately replied quickly, not daring to let Cao Cao wait longer, "Second son, I didn't participate, but Zidan informed me about it." ”

"Well, okay, protect Bowen's safety, be hidden, don't let him find out, don't force it."

"Whoa." Cao Ren bowed his hand and watched Cao Cao turn around and leave.

This came and went, and even his back was already stained with a lot of cold sweat, and then he was deeply afraid, because he didn't know what the prime minister was thinking now, but he felt that it had become deeper and more powerful than before.

……

Three days later, in the Wuyin area of Nanyang, there were gradually more people, which was the southeast of Bowang, less than a hundred miles apart.

When Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses arrived here, they found that there were already a lot of people following, at least three groups of people were following, but there was no movement to do anything.

Every day when he was resting on his march, he would send troops and horses, and even personally explore the traces of the vicinity, and he would always find something.

In this process, certain abilities and self-discipline values will be distributed to the body as rewards, so that Xu Zhen's abilities will be slightly improved.

When thinking, intelligence can be enhanced.

When you are tired from running, your strength can be increased.

When the perception is investigated, the understanding of military exploration and reconnaissance can be improved.

Although the results are very meagre and almost negligible, they can add up over time and increase a lot over the years.

Xu Zhen's current status, the chariot and cavalry plus the land of the two states, there are 300,000 male soldiers.

All of them make the increase in rewards bigger and bigger, and the more people in the territory, the better the political performance, and the rewards will also increase.

Now you can get at least 500 self-discipline points a day.

"There are three groups of people, a car, a ferry?"

In front of Xu Zhen, Gao Shun had already detected the soldiers and horses from the vicinity, but he couldn't find out who the soldiers and horses were.

"Ferry, there is no one I want to see in these three groups, don't wait."

Xu Zhen got up and took the lead in front.

They are all Jingzhou scholars, they don't wear armor and only knives, these people can't pose any threat at all, and they can't even be cut by Su Tiejia when they rush up.
