So it is normal for Xiahou Xuan to be bewitched by Li Feng and Zhang Ji this time, Xiahou Xuan is a smart person, why did he take the broken ship of Li Feng and Zhang Ji, probably because he has a determination to break the boat, rather than die in silence, it is better to break out in silence, Xiahou Xuan decided to fight at the last moment, even if there is no hope in the struggle, it is better than living in a muddy way, a hundred times stronger.

But Cao Liang knows that this Xiahou Xuan's struggle is destined to end in failure, Sima Yi can tolerate the existence of Xiahou Xuan, but Sima Shi cannot, because of Xiahou Hui's death, Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan have long had no family affection at all, not only the eldest brother and brother-in-law can't do it, but even the small friendship is cut off and broken, Sima Shi will not tolerate the existence of a person who can threaten his status, Xiahou Xuan has a very high reputation and popularity in Luoyang, which is what worries Sima Shi the most.

Therefore, once Xiahou Xuan is involved in the rebellion this time, he will definitely die.

As a friend, Cao Liang of course does not want to see Xiahou Xuan give his life in vain, although Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan have not been friends for a long time, but they are unrebellious, Xiahou Xuan is a person who is bright and upright, humble and open-minded, the people of the time commented that he is as bright as the sun and the moon into his arms, he is a frank and unrestrained gentleman, making friends with such a person, it is extremely refreshing, there is no need to intrigue and calculate with each other.

Now Xiahou Xuan is in difficulty, from the perspective of a friend, it is impossible for Cao Liang not to lend a hand, not to mention, although Xiahou Xuan is the leader of the metaphysical school, but he is not like He Yan who only knows empty talk and does not understand the world, Xiahou Xuan is really talented and learned, although he is negligent in military affairs, but in governing the country, he has put forward three suggestions to Sima Yi: the judge chooses people; In addition to important officials; changed the uniform system, even Sima Yi admired it.

It can be seen that Xiahou Xuan is indeed a good hand in governing the country, such a talent was buried under Sima Shi's butcher's knife in vain, Cao Liang felt distressed when he thought about it.

So Cao Liang came up with an idea to rescue Xiahou Xuan, but it was not easy to realize this idea.

First of all, in view of the hostile relationship between Bingzhou and the Sima clan, it is impossible for Cao Liang to send troops to the rescue, otherwise it would not be to rescue Xiahou Xuan but to attack Luoyang City, with the current strength of Cao Liang, it is not enough to complete this task.

Secondly, Xiahou Xuan was under surveillance in Luoyang, although Sima Shi did not take measures to put him under house arrest, but Xiahou Xuan would never leave Luoyang easily, once Xiahou Xuan had an attempt to leave Luoyang or disappeared, then Sima Jun would inevitably block the gate of Luoyang, carry out a city-wide search, and set up cards along the way outside Luoyang City, and would never give him a chance to escape.

Therefore, this rescue operation is quite arduous, which is equivalent to pulling teeth on Sima Shi's territory, and Cao Liang can only send a short, concise, and capable team to carry out the rescue.

The first person Cao Liang thought of was Fang Bu, Fang Bu used to be his personal bodyguard, strong in martial arts, and cool-headed, but now Cao Liang was promoted to the position of general of the inter-army army, fully responsible for the espionage work of the state army, obviously this rescue mission is none other than Fang Bu.

So, Cao Liang quickly summoned Fang Bu back.

In the past, when Fang Bu was a bodyguard, he followed Cao Liang every step of the way, even when Cao Liang went to bed at night, Fang Bu was guarding outside the tent, as if he was an iron man who never sleeped. Later, Cao Liang arranged for him to be in charge of intelligence work and served as a military captain, and Fang Bu was even more conscientious, acting as the eyes and ears of the Bingzhou Army, providing detailed information for every military operation of the Bingzhou Army, and he has indeed made great contributions in the past few years.

With Fang Bu's current identity, it is no longer suitable for him to go on an adventure in person, but if Fang Bu doesn't go in person, Cao Liang can't think of anyone else who can replace him, there is only one chance to rescue Xiahou Xuan, if it fails, it will affect Xiahou Xuan, so the rescue operation must be guaranteed to be foolproof, and there can be no accidents.

Cao Liang told Fang Bu about the rescue plan, and Fang Bu agreed without hesitation, for Fang Bu, no matter how big or small the errand was, as long as it was ordered by Cao Liang, he would not hesitate to go next and do his best to complete it.

Cao Liang preached to the other party: "Abu, this rescue operation is very arduous, this is also where I don't want to fake others, only you, I am the most assured, this time you go to Luoyang, no matter what, at all costs, you must also rescue Xiahou Taichu and his family from Luoyang." ”

"However, the subordinates must do their best to live up to the expectations of the lord." Fang Bu bowed down to receive the order, his eyes were full of perseverance and determination.

Cao Liang said: "This mission is not simple, if you want to rescue people from under the nose of Sima Shi, it is by no means an easy errand, Abu, you go down to make a detailed rescue plan first, take it for me to see, and then bring enough manpower to set off as soon as possible, I feel that when the Sima family is mourned, there will be a big event in Luoyang, so you must not delay the trip." ”

Fang Bu said: "Lord, I am afraid that this plan will be difficult for my subordinates to formulate, and now I can't get the detailed information of Luoyang, and the time is not allowed to wait, so my subordinates think that they should go to Luoyang first, and then act at the opportunity." As for the candidates to go to Luoyang, the subordinates think that it is better to have less than more, and if there are more people, the goal will be bigger, and if there are few people, it will not attract people's attention and it will be easy to succeed. ”

Cao Liang thought about it, too, now they have not grasped the specific situation of Luoyang, even if they formulate a detailed plan, they may not be able to follow this plan, it is better to let Fang Bu go to Luoyang as soon as possible and act at the opportunity.

Moreover, the state army is in Luoyang, and a thorough intelligence network has been formed, and Fang Bu is going to Luoyang, and there is no room for the slightest omission, so instead of making plans here behind closed doors, it is better to rush to Luoyang first and change the situation, which may be better.

Cao Liang immediately understood what Fang Bu meant, so he followed Fang Bu's suggestion and gave full authority to Fang Bu to handle this task, he believed that Fang Bu would definitely be able to bring Xiahou Xuan back from Luoyang.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, then you go back and prepare, and set off tomorrow."

Fang Bu took the order and gave up his hand to retire, but before he walked out of the room, Cao Liang waved at him again, and Fang Bu turned back again, only to hear Cao Liang say earnestly: "This goes to Luoyang, like the tiger's den in Longtan, Abu, you must be careful and do what you can, no matter any success or not, you must come back alive!" ”

Fang Bu didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.
