When the bookkeeper who looked like an old farmer heard Gao's question, he immediately tore a small hole in the torn cotton pants that exposed the cotton wool, fumbled and took out a wax pill the size of a pigeon's egg from it, held it in his hand and handed it to Mrs. Gao. Although I have never seen this kind of artifact, the children of the rivers and lakes know that this is the wax pill book that people often hear about.

Gao pinched open the oily wax pill and took out a crumpled ball of paper, which she carefully flattened on the square table. This is a piece of cotton white paper with excellent workmanship, thin as a cicada's wings, densely written with small characters, gathered under the lamp to see the content clearly, is to say that Cao Cao was not confidential because of the matter before, and he had not yet come to Tongguan to start a fierce battle with the intercepted officers and soldiers, and he brought the men and horses who responded to him and suffered heavy losses......"

Seeing this, Gao's brows stretched slightly, which also untied a knot in her heart with the people who broke into the camp, "Sure enough, it was because of the interception of the official army that the last response was not successful, and it seems that I still missed Cao Cao, the glass monkey." ”

Gao's heart was relieved, and he continued to look down, "...... Now that Brother Wei has regrouped, he is now leading 150,000 men and horses to sneak to Kunshan, intending to attack Tongguan on 17 March, and divide a group of men and horses to attack Yanxiang; if the men and horses of the intruding army have already reached the border of Luonan County at this time, they must join forces with the outside and take the opportunity to rush out of Tongguan and join the two armies north of Tongguan. ”

Although she was very sloppy in the letter, Gao's literacy level was the level of the middle class of the literacy class, but she even guessed eight or nine times out of ten, and the rest of the part was supplemented with brain supplements, so that she understood the full meaning of the letter.

A burst of irrepressible joy welled up in her heart, and she was extremely excited at the moment, "Alas, thank God!

"It's really a coincidence, it can be seen that King Chuang and Cao Shuai will definitely be able to conquer the country in the future. "Wandering the rivers and lakes, the magic weapon of the talisman has never been a martial art, it mainly relies on a mouth that can tell the dead alive.

"Well, I forgot to ask, what is your surname, this big brother?" Gao's greeting made the old farmer pout.

"Don't dare, I'm also surnamed Li. He replied to Gao Shi while scolding, "What a temperamental person, if I hadn't brought you good news, I guess I would have dragged it out to feed the dogs without asking." At this time, Xia Shuren had not yet realized the predictability of his mental activities, so he looked at Gao Shi with a smile on his face.

"Yo, I didn't expect that we were still a family!" Gao's tone was almost there, and the question and answer between the two people just now didn't seem to have happened.

"Hehe, the villain really doesn't dare to climb high. Five hundred years ago, maybe it was still stirring a spoon in a pot. The wrinkled face of the writer was as brilliant as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Seeing that the person who came could speak like this also made Gao's heart more and more happy, and she immediately asked Shuangxi to call in her own personal soldier leader Zhang Cai, and instructed him to take this distinguished guest to the west wing room to roast and rest, and asked Zhang Cai to quickly get some hot things for the guests to satisfy their hunger.

Seeing that Zhang Cai took the person who wrote the book away, Gao picked up the letter again and read it, and when she sat back by the fire, her heart began to become suspicious. Just when Gao asked Shuangxi to send someone to urge Wang to return to the old camp, she happened to hear a hurried sound of horses' hooves coming to the gate, followed by a neighing of the oolong horse, listening to the sound of fast footsteps from far and near, she saw her husband hurriedly enter the house.

Li Zicheng sat down, took the letter from Gao's hand, carefully read the book in the wax pill several times, and listened to his wife tell him about the situation of interrogating the book, and his heart immediately sensed something suspicious.

Li Zicheng did not speak immediately, the room was silent for a while, he clutched the letter in his hand, staring at the fire in front of him in a daze, Li Zicheng thought, "My men and horses will rush through the defense of Tongguan tomorrow, and it is at this time that Cao Cao will also attack Tongguan on the same day...... There seems to be something wrong here, this Cao Cao is not another Cao Cao, how can the time to pick him up be arranged so coincidentally? Could it be a spy sent by Sun Chuanting?"

Thinking of this, he asked Gao to sit aside and not speak, and asked his own soldiers to call the lame scholar over the house. Zicheng and the old farmer under the book met, the two of them first had a greeting, Li Zicheng thanked him for coming here to risk all the way for his own camp, the two of them talked very happily like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, talking about the sky, the earth, and asking about the family history, Li Zicheng also asked the other party about the customs and customs of the Lingbao area, especially the local specialties of Lingbao.

When Li Zicheng walked the rivers and lakes, he saw and heard a lot, and said that Lingbao jujube was big, meaty, thin-skinned, and as big as a baby's fist;

The leader and the little people are homely, and the general attitude is very cordial and kind, which makes the next writer who is worried in his heart sigh: "It is said that this Li Zi has become a person from all over the world and can win people's hearts, and now he feels that the rumors are true soon after he has been in contact." From this aspect alone, his own 'Great Heavenly King' is really inferior to this person!"

Zicheng asked Cao Cao and other old friends about the situation, some things the book knew about, some things he said he didn't know, and some were casual nonsense. The two of them talked directly about Emperor Hu Tian and Hu Di, and Li Zicheng didn't delve into the nonsense of the next scholar, but just observed the words and expressions in the conversation, so that he knew in his heart.

How could the next person not know that it was Li Zicheng who was interrogating him, he smiled calmly and said: "King Chuang, first, I didn't follow Cao Shuai from the beginning, and second, I am a nobody, and I am not often by Cao Shuai's side, so I know some things in detail, and we can't tell you clearly." ”

"Naturally, there are some things that are hard for you to know. Where was Cao Shuai last month?" Li Zicheng was very easy-going, and his words seemed to be casual chats.

"Last month?" the stranger looked at King Chuang, his eyes rolled with a smile and said, "Hey, speaking of which, we Cao Shuai are really friends! Last month, he knew that you were going here, so he led his men and horses to Shaanzhou and Lingbao to pick you up. Later, I heard that you were still in Hanzhong, and you were bitten by the dog raised by Lao Zhu's family, so I retreated. At that time, Sun Chuanting also personally went out of Tongguan to resist the mile. ”

"Where have you retreated?" Li Zicheng asked casually

At that time, the army retreated to the area of Linru. ”

"You came from near Tongguan, do you know the situation of the officers and soldiers in Tongguan in the past few days?"
