After Cao Jundu left, Liu Yu and the others returned to their rooms and closed the doors of the rooms.

"Cao Cao's governance of the army is really poor enough, these patrolling soldiers actually ask for bribes." Li Gui was dissatisfied, he was very unwilling to take out the two gold just now.

Liu Yu said thoughtfully: "Meng De has always been strict in governing the army, even if there are some black sheep, they will not stay in Shouchun. It is estimated that Mengde's troops are too small, so everyone needs them, resulting in unevenness. ”

Li Gui called Liu Yu wise, and he kept being sycophant.

Liu Yu was not stunned by Li Gui's sycophants, and even said: "Zhong Yun, we won't be able to stay in the inn tomorrow, we have to find a place to hide, look at the appearance of that Cao Jun's squad leader, he will definitely come again tomorrow." ”

Li Gui reacted, the Captain Cao just now just said that he was here today, but he didn't say anything to death. In terms of people's hearts, Liu Yu is much stronger than Li Gui, and Li Gui absolutely obeys Liu Yu's orders.

was really guessed by Liu Yu. The squad leader of the Cao Jun patrol was preparing to come over early the next morning. If you accept a bribe once, you will want to accept it a second time, which is a business without capital. If Liu Yu and the others have no money, hehe, then I'm sorry, Cao Jun has always been law-abiding, and the orders from above are pressed down, there is really no way but to pull Liu Yu and them to fill the army.

People are selfish, and Liu Yu understands this.

There was such a small episode, Liu Yu knew that no one would come to disturb him, so he asked Li Gui and them to rest immediately and leave this inn early tomorrow morning.

The night of Shouchun is very quiet, and the war on the border is completely two worlds.

Due to the curfew, the streets of Shouchun City were filled with only the soldiers patrolling, and the only people left were watchmen. No one dared to offend Cao Cao's curfew, unless he felt that he was too long. As early as when Cao Cao was young, some people dared to violate the curfew and beat them to death.

Shouchun became very depressed.

In a mansion in Dongcheng, Sima Lang is sorting out his income today. If you think that Sima Lang is summing up today's official business, it is a big mistake. Sima Lang's second brother Sima Yi secretly sent a letter that needed Sima Lang's help, the content of which was nothing more than asking Sima Lang to move, organize a group of fools, open the city gate when Sima Yi's army arrived, let Sima Yi's army in, and at the same time take advantage of the chaos to let those fools go to the palace to do Liu Xie.

In the Sima family, Sima Lang is the eldest son, and according to the rules of the order of the eldest and youngest, the position of the head of the family is to be given to him. But the Sima family did not follow the usual path, they were the most talented people who became the head of the family. Coupled with the advent of troubled times, the Sima family adopted a two-sided betting method and arranged children on both sides of Liu Yu and Cao Cao. Although Sima Yi was forced to pass. Back then, Dian Wei beat Sima Yi fat, if Sima Yi didn't agree, Dian Wei might beat him to death.

Sima Lang is now a little grateful to Dian Wei, if it weren't for Dian Wei's fat beating back then, where would Sima Jia's fall on the big tree of Liu Yu. Moreover, Sima Yi is very popular under Liu Yu, and Sima Lang can see that in the future, if the world is unified, the Sima family will be more prosperous.

Now Sima Yi needs his help as an elder brother, how could Sima Lang refuse. This is for the future of the entire Sima family.

Sima Lang immediately began to arrange. Although this is a bit unworthy of Cao Cao, Sima Lang has no choice.

Serving Cao Cao is just a choice made by Sima Lang in order to revitalize the Sima family. Now that the Sima family has greater hope of prosperity on the other side, of course Sima Lang knows how to choose.

Sima Lang secretly observed a long time ago and found some officials who were very dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and there were also some officials who were not so loyal to Liu Xie.

These people can be used, they are the fools that Sima Yi said.

In the slaughter of Liu Jun's army to Shouchun, without Sima Lang's organization, naturally someone will take the initiative to open this city gate. Liu Jun's killing of Shouchun means that Liu Xie and Cao Cao have no hope, and it is normal for anyone who has a little brain, for his own life and his family business, to make some smart choices.

Sima Yi hopes that these fools can be Liu Xie, which is what gives Sima Lang a headache.

That's Liu Xie. Although he knew that once Shouchun City was breached, Liu Xie would be captured by Liu Jun nine times out of ten, and the end would definitely not be so good. But Liu Jun's side obviously wanted Liu Xie to die, but they didn't dare to do it. Others may not know, but Sima Lang's heart is like a mirror, the current Shenwu Emperor Liu Yu's brotherhood towards Liu Xie is true, and it will definitely not surprise Liu Xie. If anyone on Liu Jun's side dares to be unfavorable to Liu Xie, his head will wait to move.

Sima Lang even knew that if Liu Xie was alive, it would not be good news for the entire Shenwu Imperial Court. Sima Yi, as a courtier loyal to Liu Yu, of course wanted to share Liu Yu's worries.

With such loyalty, Sima Lang was very pleased with Sima Yi, but Sima Yi asked for this, and Sima Lang was very embarrassed. Will there be a fool who will do Liu Xie? There may be, but who would such a fool be? For a while, Sima Lang couldn't think of it.

"Second brother, you have given me a big problem." Sima Lang was very worried.

Sima Lang secretly found some people, these people no longer have much illusions about Cao Cao and Liu Xie, but let them express their position now, they will not be so stupid. Of course, they were also shocked that Sima Lang, who was usually loyal to Cao Cao, began to plan the way back.

But they wouldn't have poked this kind of thing out, after all, they didn't have fatal evidence in their hands. Even if they had evidence in their hands, they wouldn't have poked it out in the current situation. Everyone knows that Sima Lang's younger brother Sima Yi is in a high position in the Shenwu Imperial Court, and offending Sima Lang is equivalent to offending Sima Yi. Seeing that Yuzhou can't be defended, in the future, his whole family will be under the rule of the Shenwu Imperial Court, so don't do these stupid things.

Unless it fell into the hands of Cao Cao, in order to save his life, he had to confess Sima Lang.

No one wants to joke with their future and life, even if Sima Lang secretly contacts these people with different intentions, he is still safe for the time being.

Sima Lang has secretly contacted a few families, but the harvest is not very much. These families are all hypothetical and do not show real determination.

Such a result, Sima Lang is expected.

"No, if it goes on like this, there is no way to fulfill the second brother's entrustment." Sima Lang felt like he was wasting his time.

After thinking about it for a while, Sima Lang decided to secretly go to the houses he had contacted before tonight. Cao Cao's surveillance of Shouchun was so tight that even loyal officials like Sima Lang would be secretly monitored. Sima Lang's ability was not as good as Sima Yi's, but he could also detect Cao Cao's surveillance of him. But recently, Sima Lang discovered that there seemed to be no one who was secretly monitoring him. Sima Lang was frightened, and began to order someone to verify it secretly, he was worried that Cao Cao would be suspicious of him, and the act of removing the surveillance was likely to detect Sima Lang's abnormality and was about to do it. After Sima Lang's repeated verification, it was found that except for the lack of surveillance, the rest of the actions were not at all.

Of course, Sima Lang will not miss such an opportunity. Cao Cao is believing him.

The actual situation is that Cao Cao is now short of manpower, and he feels that Sima Lang can be trusted, so he removed the people who monitored Sima Lang and used them in other places.

When Sima Lang was about to act, the servant came to report that someone had come to visit secretly.

Sima Lang was surprised, and someone else took the initiative to come to him?

No matter who it was, it was always a guest to enter the door, and Sima Lang asked the servant to invite him in, while he was guessing in his heart who was coming. If it was someone from Cao Cao's side, Sima Lang would have to be prepared to deal with it. Cao Cao has tested Sima Lang's loyalty more than once, and Sima Lang is already enough.

A man in a black cloak with a faceless face followed Sima Lang's servant in.

Sima Lang sat precariously and asked, "Who is here?" What are you coming for? ”

The man in black lifted his cloak, revealing his true face.

After Sima Lang saw the other party's true face clearly, he was shocked and said, "It's Uncle Guo!" ”

That's right, the person who came is Uncle Dong Cheng and Dong Guo!

As soon as Sima Lang saw Dong Cheng coming in person, he instantly understood that Dong Cheng had a secret matter, so he said to his servant: "You go down, no one is allowed to approach here." ”

"Yes!" The servant went down respectfully.

The Sima family's tutor is very strict, and unless he dies, he will not disobey Sima Lang's orders.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Dong Chengcai arched his hand and said: "Come to visit late at night, please don't be surprised by Lord Sima." ”

"Uncle Guo is polite, please sit down!" Sima Lang immediately arranged a place for Dong Cheng.

The two sat looking at each other, and Sima Lang personally poured Dong Cheng a cup of hot tea.

After the two drank a cup of each other, Sima Lang began to get straight to the point, and said: "Uncle Guo came to visit late at night, and he dressed up like this, I'm afraid there are important things to discuss." ”

"Boda Takami. If it weren't for Cao Cao's strict surveillance, I wouldn't have to. Dong Cheng said.

Sima Lang didn't say anything, he waited for Dong Cheng to tell the purpose.

"I came here tonight because I heard that Berta has been in contact with each other recently, and it seems that he has a big plan. I'm very interested. Dong Cheng said with a smile.

Sima Lang wouldn't admit it, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Where did Uncle Guo hear the rumors, Xia Guan is busy with official business on weekdays, how can he have time to contact around?" Besides, who can the lower officials contact? ”

"Boda, there are some things that you and I can understand in our hearts. Do you want me to say it straight? Dong Cheng still kept smiling.

Sima Lang kept observing Dong Cheng's expression, but he never found any clues in it, but it didn't prevent Sima Lang from guessing his intentions.

Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country, he is loyal to Liu Xie, and he belongs to the hardline royalist faction, so he came here tonight for Liu Xie's safety.

"Uncle Guo is worried about His Majesty for this, and the officials admire him very much." Sima Lang said tentatively.

Dong Cheng knew that Sima Lang understood his intention, and said happily: "Boda's talent is really worthy of its reputation. I have come tonight to consult with Betha about your majesty. Liu Yu gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to kill, and Cao Cao tried his best to resist, but you and I know the final result. In case Shouchun is surrounded, His Majesty will fall into the hands of Liu Yu's thief. We are loyal to Your Majesty and the Great Han, how can we be indifferent. ”

Sima Lang said very entangledly: "Uncle Guo, today, what will happen to Your Majesty in the future is a foregone conclusion. ”

"Heaven has a fate, but manpower can plan. If our courtiers don't think about Your Majesty, Your Majesty has nothing to rely on. Dong Cheng was a little excited, and said: "I Guan Boda is a loyal and righteous person, why is he so ruthless now? ”

Why did Dong Cheng believe in Sima Lang so much? This is Sima Lang's own credit. In addition to being loyal to Cao Cao, Sima Lang is also very obedient to Liu Xie, and when Cao Cao had any offense to Liu Xie in the past, Sima Lang would come out to express his opinion and defend Liu Xie. Although this is a show, it makes people like Dong Cheng who are loyal to Liu Xie feel Sima Lang's sincerity.

Now Liu Yu's army doesn't know when it will kill Shouchun, and Dong Cheng, these courtiers loyal to Liu Xie, are anxious every day. Dong Cheng couldn't watch Liu Xie sit here and wait to be killed, so he secretly contacted various officials loyal to Liu Xie and joined forces to finally protect Liu Xie's safety. At the same time, Dong Cheng learned Sima Lang's secret, so he came tonight and wanted to pull Sima Lang into the gang.

Dong Cheng also secretly decided that if Sima Lang refused, then he would be embarrassed, and he had to poke out the matter of Sima Lang's secret contact.

Dong Cheng's eyes showed a threat, and of course Sima Lang understood.

"What are you Dong Cheng, you dare to threaten me!?" Sima Lang was very dissatisfied in his heart.

A flash of inspiration crossed Sima Lang's mind, wasn't he just looking for some fools to do things right now? Now Dong Cheng is a fool who sent it to the door. If it is planned properly, Dong Cheng is a perfect scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Sima Lang's heart calmed down, and a look of justice appeared on his face.

Dong Cheng saw Sima Lang's changes, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

"When Xia Guan heard Uncle Guo's words, it is better than reading a book for ten years! The misfortune of the Han family will lead to today's situation. Our courtiers should throw their heads and spill their blood for Your Majesty. I, Sima Boda, am only a shallow learner, so I can't help much, but for the sake of Your Majesty, what about giving up this skin! Uncle Guo, the lower officials will work with you for the benefit of Your Majesty! Sima Lang said impassionedly.

Dong Cheng saluted Sima Lang and said solemnly: "With Boda's help, Your Majesty is very fortunate, and the Han family is very fortunate!" ”

"Uncle Guo!"

"Boda!"

Sima Lang and Dong Cheng looked at each other, and the atmosphere was warm, which made people feel sorry for each other and couldn't help it.
