Although cement is not a secret in Huainan, Longxiang does not flow out through strict control, so outsiders only hear its name but do not know its effect.

Zhang Liao saw that Cao Cao's expression was getting more and more ugly, so he unconsciously stopped at the end of the conversation, but everyone understood the core meaning.

Cao Cao originally wanted to be angry, but there was no precedent for blocking the city gate in the military books and historical records he had read.

Who would have thought that Long Xiang would be bold and use building materials for offensive warfare.

"I see."

Cao Cao waved his hand to Zhang Liao in displeasure, followed by frowning and looking around at the ministers, and asked in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about the closure of the door for the time being, Zhongde asserts that Long Xiang has heavenly eyes, how can you explain this matter?" ”

This remark involved the theory of ghosts and gods, and no one in the hall dared to stand up and respond, and Cao Cao subconsciously looked at Zhang Liao again.

Zhang Liao was stared at so that his scalp was numb, and he suddenly remembered that when he retired Sun Quan in Hefei, Cao Xing had drawn a detailed schematic diagram before the war, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and replied.

"Prime Minister, there is a general under Long Xiang's command, Cao Xing, his observation is gifted, he can see things within a few miles, General Cheng's so-called Tianyan, could it be this person?"

"Cao Xing? Wen Yuan's former colleague? He has this kind of ability, why is he under Lu Bu's command, but his name is unknown? ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart that he was a good guy, if Cao Xuan could really see a few miles away, it was no wonder that he could shoot Xiahoudun with a secret arrow.

"Cao Xing was Hao Meng's deputy general at the time, and the last general was not very familiar with him, and he only found out after arriving in Hefei."

Zhang Liao briefly told everyone in the hall what he had seen and heard about the Hefei battle.

Many people frowned when they heard this, saying in their hearts that with such a pair of eyes, they could get a lot of opportunities in the war.

Cao Cao's face also collapsed suddenly, he didn't hate Cao Xing for having such abilities, he only hated that people couldn't be used for themselves.

Everyone was worried, the wine in the cup was bland and tasteless, and the hall returned to tranquility again.

"No, that's not right."

"Zixiao, what's wrong?"

Cao Ren's voice broke the silence, and he shook his head at Zhang Liaozhi, and Cao Cao hurriedly stopped him when he saw this.

"I fought with Guan Yu before, and he was always expected to take the lead, which is also the main reason why the army was superior, and I was trapped in Fancheng in the end, I thought it was my own incompetence, I just heard Wen Yuan talk about Cao Xing's ability, could it be that Guan Yu's army also has such strange people?"

"Yes, yes, I lost the battle with Dejushui, and I feel that I have suffered such a loss."

Zhang Yun, who has never had a chance to show his face, found an opportunity to stand up and echo Cao Ren.

Zhang Yun's move attracted Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, Xu Huang and other generals, all of whom stood up and speculated.

They pushed Yu Ban, Gao Ran's capture, and all kinds of disadvantages in the previous battles to Guan Yu to help him.

Cao Cao saw that everyone said this, Tie Qing's face squeezed out a strange smile, and then asked in a cold voice:

"A Cao Xing is considered talented, but listening to what you just described, Guan Yu seems to have more strange people around him, do you think it is possible?"

"What the prime minister said is very true."

Jia Xu, as a minister with the army, must stand up and say a few words at this time, he echoed Cao Cao's analysis: "Long Xiang sent troops to Xu Du and Lu Su to Jingzhou to participate in the war, obviously colluding with Liu Bei, and there are the same strange soldiers on both sides, and there must be a big secret in this." ”

"It's a pity that no important prisoners were caught, otherwise they could have been brought to trial for trial."

Hearing this, he shook his head and sighed, and Cao Chun next to him suddenly had an idea, so he hugged his fists and reminded Cao Cao:

"Prime Minister, Shiren sent by Zilian before, he is Liu Bei's fellow countryman and close minister, he must know a lot of secrets"

"That's right! He was in Wancheng at this time, why didn't Zihe say it earlier? ”

Cao Cao complained like a joke, and then arranged a task for him: "You send someone to pick him up immediately, and let the light cavalry of the leopard camp go." ”

"Yui."

Cao Chun knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately left the table to carry out the task.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is divided into 'Tiger Battalion' and 'Leopard Battalion', the former emphasizing armor and charging into battle, while the latter is fast and light riding with strong mobility.

Fancheng is more than 200 miles away from Wancheng, and it took less than five days for the cavalry of the leopard battalion to bring Shiren to Cao Cao.

Shirentu was summoned to the front, and he did not know what was going on, so he asked the cavalry on the way.

However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is equivalent to the Cao family's private soldiers, and their discipline is far better than that of other troops, so they naturally refuse to reveal a word.

Shiren was worried all the way, and when he saw Cao Cao's kind expression, his hanging heart finally let go.

"Junli has been traveling all the way, and I will catch up with you later."

"How dare the last general? If the prime minister is useful, please just ask. ”

Seeing Cao Cao so polite, Shiren was flattered and sincerely frightened, and hurriedly hugged his fists to show his loyalty.

"It's fine, but"

Cao Cao was pleased, and after a moment of conversation, he asked, "Junli followed me to deal with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, do you feel guilty in your heart?" ”

"The last general is the prime minister, naturally there are no two hearts, then Liu Xuande came to Jingzhou, and he reused a lot of newcomers, but he began to be alienated from the last general, and after taking Guanzhong, it was even more excessive, and he even let me belong to Chen Zhi's command, he turned out to be a guard chief, why should he be the chief general of Tongguan? As for Guan Yu on the other side of the Han River, this person has always been arrogant and rude, and he will be bullied a lot in front of him, so why should he feel guilty."

After listening to Shiren's complaints, Cao Cao secretly thought that the other party was ambitious and talented, and said in his heart that you are such a disloyal person, and it is impossible for Cao to reuse someone.

Cao Cao looked down on it in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded frequently in affirmation, and then said: "Since you are loyal and obedient, you should know everything in front of the prime minister, I heard that there are many strange people in Liu Bei and Guan Yu's army, and their eyesight is amazing and they can see several miles away, can Jun Li know the mystery?" ”

"Inhuman? Look miles away? ”

Shiren smiled and waved his hand to deny: "They are not strangers, but there is a kind of magical thing called the clairvoyant mirror, which can be used to see things within five miles." ”

"Claircase?"

Cao Cao was even more shocked than hearing the stranger, so he eagerly added: "Where did Liu Bei get it?" ”

"I don't know"

Shiren shook his head lightly and explained: "Liu Xuande has not been getting this thing for a long time, and due to the small number of extremely precious things, only the general is qualified to equip it."

Cao Cao's face sank after hearing this, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Clairvoyant Mirror Liu Bei doesn't have the help of immortals?" ”

"Although the clairvoyant mirror is magical, it is definitely not a fairy thing, the last general has taken Liu Xuande's careful look, the clairvoyant mirror is transparent glass at both ends, and the middle is a bamboo tube wrapped in copper skin, which should be made by a skilled craftsman."

It's okay that Shiren is not comforted, but this comfort Cao Cao is even more uncomfortable.

If it is made by a skilled craftsman in the world, you can make a hundred or ten thousand if you can make one, so how will this battle be fought in the future? It's just that transparent glass is unheard of.

Wait, will Cao Xing also.

Is it made by Liu Bei's craftsmen or Long Xiang's craftsmen? How long have these two been secretly communicating with each other?

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Shiren smiling and grinning, and then frowned and asked: "You have not been in a short period of time, why did you delay reporting such an important military situation?" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Cao Cao's anger, Shiren hurriedly patted his horse and explained: "The last general thinks that the prime minister is invincible in the world, and there is no need to worry about such strange and obscene skills."

"Hmph."

Cao Cao didn't appreciate it after hearing this, and reprimanded him coldly: "The prime minister hates sycophants the most, Erben Liu Bei's cronies of the old department, and he surrendered me so easily, could it be that Liu Bei sent you to surrender?" ”
