The news of Guanzhong kept coming, Chang'an was lost, Xiahou Yuan was captured, Xu Huang was defeated and went to Hedong, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao led 100,000 Xiliang troops to the east, Longyou and Guanzhong counties looked at the wind and fell, and the Central Plains was shaken.

Xin Bi saw that most of the Jingzhou soldiers outside the city had withdrawn, and at first thought that Zhuge Liang had entered the Tiger Prison Pass in the west, which was to echo the soldiers and horses in the pass to take Luoyang, but he thought that this move was risky, not like Zhuge Liang's doing, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and sent someone to Aoshan to inquire about the news.

In the evening, Tanma reported that Lu Qian committed suicide in the middle of the house, and sighed: "The big thing is gone!" ”

When the sky was about to get dark, Gan Ning and Chen Zhi returned to Xingyang City and surrounded the city on all sides, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in the city, half of them were new soldiers, and people were panicked.

The reinforcements could not arrive for a long time, and Xin Bi was worried about the defense of the city, and suddenly the defenders brought a letter, which was written by Zhuge Liang himself.

"Zhuge Liang, the commander of the Han Army, wrote to Yin Xinjun George, Henan: Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Wang Gang has been sluggish, the sky has fallen into turmoil, the traitorous male has taken advantage of the provocation, and the world has cut his teeth. Wise and brave people all seek out the Lord to eliminate national difficulties. In the past, Cao Cao raised a righteous army to fight for thieves, winged the Son of Heaven, looked at the wind in the sea, and worked together in the civil and military, he was really a hero at that time.

However, human nature is changeable, and now Cao is a thief, tyrannical and hegemonic, treacherous and unrevealed, oppressive of the Son of Heaven, cruelty to Zhongliang, usurpation and rebellion, and even more so Dong Zhuo. Cao Wei, a servant of the public ministers, is really abusive, and his back is the end!

Fortunately, the sky is endless, Liu Bowei has been bequeathed, the talent has come out, the Han family Ji Xing is in sight, and the Cao Party is still breathing. Jun is a wise and resourceful man, the world is subject to Han'en, willing to change the map, return to the ancestors, dedicated to Xingyang Dinghenan, save the country and the people, then the Han family is very lucky, the world is very lucky, and it can also be famous after the leaf.

If the corner is stubbornly resisted, then the land of Henan will be burned again, the city will be powdered, the body will be ruined, and Liang can't bear to sit and watch. ”

Xin Bi sighed lightly, looked at the flickering lights on the case for a long time, in order to vote for Cao, his brother was killed, the family was slaughtered, only his own branch was squeezed out, relocated to Henan, and now it is hard to gain a foothold, is it going to repeat the mistakes of the past?

When he was depressed, the eldest son Xin Chang took his robe and put it on, and said: "The enemy is currently in the city, and the people in the city are unstable, I don't know what my father has planned?" ”

"Kong Ming has a book delivered to ......" Xin Bi pointed to the letter on the table, and said with a wry smile: "The former heroes were defeated, and Cao Mengde fled far away from the desert and repeatedly made the mistakes of the Yuan family, isn't it providential?" ”

Xin Chang looked at it, frowned and said: "When Prime Minister Cao Cheng went north, he was already terminally ill, and he knew that his life was not long in coming, so he killed foreign races and saved his name!" Since he thought that his great cause was difficult to accomplish, why should his father be obsessed with it? The child saw the kindness in Kong Ming's letter, Liu Qi is a member of the Han family, and he took advantage of the trend back then, why is he hesitant today? ”

Xin Bi sighed: "Back then, the Yuan brothers fought with each other and brought about their own destruction, I had to be like this, and now the foundation of the Cao family is still there, and I gave up halfway?" What's more, if I surrender again, won't I become a thief and a villain repeatedly? ”

Xin Chang shook his letterhead: "My father is to fight violence for the Xinghan Dynasty, and he has always been a Hanchen, not a member of the Wei Gongmen, how can he say that he is a second minister?" ”

"Hiss-" Xin Bi's eyes narrowed slightly, as the so-called concern is chaotic, and now that he is in the game, his mind is complicated, which makes it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Sister Ru and Yang's wedding is approaching, if it falls at this time, I and Yang Tan are our own masters, I am afraid that she will be lost for life, how should this be?" ”

"This ......" Xin Chang frowned, marriage is not a child's play, if he is divorced by the Yang family, it will be a shame for the Xin family.

"For the sake of the country, how can you take care of the personal feelings of your children?"

When the father and son were worried, a crisp voice came from behind the hall, a woman came out, twenty-eight years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a shrewd look in her eyes, it was her daughter Xin Xianying.

Xin Bi said: "Ying'er hasn't rested yet? ”

Xin Xianying said: "The great enemy is coming to the city, the danger is imminent, and the family is in a catastrophe, who can sleep peacefully?" My mother had just boiled ginseng soup and had already brought it to the study, and when she saw that her father was not there, she came to the lobby. ”

Xin Bi sighed: "For the sake of my father's distraction, where can I still drink?" ”

Xin Xianying said with a smile: "This matter is easy to hear, the wise man takes advantage of the situation, my father has already made a decision, why do you doubt it?" ”

"Oh?" Xin Bi knew that this daughter had been smart since she was a child, and said with a smile: "For my father, I don't know how to choose, how can my son see that he has made a decision?" ”

Xin Xianying said: "If my father was dedicated to serving the Cao family, he should have torn up this letter and donated his life as generously as Lu Qian did, so as to achieve great righteousness......

"Bastard!" Xin Bi said unhappily: "I endure the humiliation, just to protect you, if you didn't see the opportunity early, you were not in your infancy, and now it is hard to take root, how can you abandon your family?" ”

Xin Xianying nodded and said: "The father is hardworking, and the child already knows that since he is planning for the family, what is the matter of his daughter's in-laws?" From the perspective of the daughter, the ancestor of the Yang family is a minister of the imperial court, and he may not specialize in Cao Wei. If the father really thinks about the affairs of the family, he should have made a decision long ago, and the changes will happen sooner. ”

Xin Bi suddenly realized, and said with his forehead: "If it weren't for Xianying's reminder, I almost missed a big event, I would be dedicated to running for the Han family, and the Cao family should part ways with it if it is not a subordinate." ”

Xin Xianying said: "If it weren't for her daughter's greed, the Cao clan would wither away, and only the children of the clan would be left. If you break with the Yang family this time, it is the daughter of Providence who has another marriage, and if she can marry Liu Qi's ministers, she will be lucky for her daughter in public and private! ”

"What I said is very true!" Xin Bi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and laughed: "Xianying has his own intelligence, Zhichao is a man, and he can't match if he is not a hero in the world." ”

Xin Chang hugged his fists and said: "Since my father has made a decision, without further ado, the child is willing to go out of the city to see Zhuge Liang overnight, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”

Xin Bi unloaded his burden at this time, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and immediately ordered Xin Chang to take his family out of the city quietly and discuss with Zhuge Liang about the dedication of the city.

Came to the Jingzhou military camp, handed over the surrender letter, and waited for the defenders to report, walking in the labyrinthine camp, Xin Chang was secretly surprised, remembering that Zhang Liao attacked Zhuge Liang and fell short, and the deployment in this battalion really concealed mysteries.

When I came to the big tent of the Chinese army, I saw a person with a lupine scarf, who was sorting out official documents, it was Zhuge Liang, the commander of the military division, and seeing his attentive expression, the soldiers did not dare to disturb, so they could only wait on the side.

Zhuge Liang read the last few battle reports, personally counted the money and grain, and ordered his soldiers to send orders to guard the camp, and explained everything clearly one by one before meeting Xin Chang.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the banquet on the side and said with a smile: "Liang is expected to know the current affairs, and prepare a little wine to welcome the son. ”

Xin Chang hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I have heard the name of Wolong for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, Mr. did things so carefully, and he was really embarrassed." ”

Zhuge Liang invited Xin Chang to take a seat, and said angrily: "I was entrusted by General Liu to major events in the Central Plains, so I have to be cautious and cautious, and I can only feel at ease if I do everything myself." ”
