After Cao Cao sent Lü Meng away, he returned directly to the camp.

Lu Meng arrived at Cao's camp with his soldiers, but he only saw Cao Cao, and had no contact with others, and what he said to Cao Cao specifically, except for the only one who knew about it, no one knew, and the news did not spread. However, when Lü Meng arrived at the camp and negotiated with Cao Cao twice in a row, the news came out.

Liu Xie got the news of Lu Meng's arrival and was puzzled.

Cao Cao and Wang Can are incompatible, and they have fought with each other.

In this situation, what did Cao Cao and Wang Can discuss? Liu Xie wanted to know very much, and immediately sent someone to inquire about the news, but he didn't know. Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and sent someone to inform Fu Wan and Dong Cheng and other important ministers in the court, asking them to send people to contact the generals under Cao Cao, and also sent people to ask Yang Feng and Xu Huang, but in the end they still didn't get specific news.

Just when Liu Xie was full of doubts, Cao Cao gave another order to stop the army.

After Liu Xie learned the news, he was even more puzzled.

It stands to reason that he took his ministers to Cao Cao, and Wang Can must be angry and want to fight Cao Cao. Cao Cao should also move in the direction of Yanzhou non-stop to get rid of Wang Can's threat, but Cao Cao let the soldiers set up camp, such a strange approach, which made Liu Xie's sensitive heart feel that the situation was not good.

Liu Xie didn't know the situation and couldn't sit still, so he finally sent someone to inform Cao Cao and convene Cao Cao to discuss the matter.

Cao Cao got the news, came to Liu Xie's tent, and bowed: "Minister Cao Cao greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie waved his hand and said; "Sit down and talk!"

Cao Cao asked, "Your Majesty summoned Weichen here, what is the matter?" ”

Liu Xie asked in a deep voice: "Recently, I have been rushing in the direction of Yanzhou, why did the army stop?" ”

Cao Cao chuckled in his heart, understanding that Liu Xie had learned that Lü Meng had come to envoys, but he didn't know what Lü Meng had discussed with him, so he was busy asking why the army had stopped. The reason for this is nothing more than wanting to knock on the side and find the answer, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are too much to bear considering Your Majesty's body, so let the army stop and rest for a few days." ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he sneered again and again in his heart.

This sentence is obviously a pretext.

He glanced at Cao Cao, and saw that Cao Cao's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of fear when his eyes looked at him, and he understood that it was obviously impossible to pry the answer out of Cao Cao's mouth. However, important ministers such as Liu Fan, Liu Dan and others in the court could not find the answer, and he sighed again and again in his heart. Liu Xie sighed and said: "Although I have Aiqing's protection, but Wang Can is pressing step by step, if Wang Can catches up, what should I do?" ”

Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and asked Cao Cao again.

He was discouraged, but he couldn't let go of the temptation.

Cao Cao straightened up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are Weichen here, and you will definitely ensure Your Majesty's safety and let Your Majesty be unscathed." Although Wang Can's army is fierce, the warriors in our army are not weaker than Wang Can's soldiers. ”

Cao Cao talked about him left and right, and did not mention Wang Can's matter.

Liu Xie's words were to test Cao Cao's attitude towards Wang Can, and Cao Cao directly said that he would protect Liu Xie's safety, so that Liu Xie's plan would be frustrated, or it would be in vain.

Liu Xie sighed in his heart and said: "Qing is loyal, I am very relieved!" ”

Cao Cao was too lazy to argue with Liu Xie, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there is nothing else to do, Weichen will retire!" ”

Liu Xie's mouth twitched and wanted to speak, but he couldn't find a reason to stay with Cao Cao. In desperation, Liu Xie raised his hand and waved it to let Cao Cao leave. After Cao Cao left, Liu Xie's face changed greatly, his sleeves flicked, and he was angry in his heart.

Cao Cao already had a plan in his heart, and he was too lazy to deal with Liu Xie, in order to achieve his goal, he could only let Liu Xie become a victim of him and Wang Canda.

For the sake of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, Liu Xie could only be sacrificed.

……

After Zhao Yun led the troops back to Chang'an, he reorganized the broken military camp and restored the personnel and equipment of the broken military camp.

The army was stationed outside the city, waiting for news from Lü Meng.

When Lü Meng led the troops to Cao Ying, Zhao Yun met Lü Meng, and Lü Meng did not tell Zhao Yun the specific things at that time, because there were too many soldiers around, and once the news was leaked, it would be very unfavorable to Wang Can. So after Zhao Yun returned, he first stayed in the camp and dealt with the matter of breaking the barracks, and when the matter of the broken barracks was solved, Zhao Yun went to see Wang Can.

Zhao Yun visited Wang Can and first pleaded guilty to Wang Can because he failed to catch the little emperor.

broke the barracks and returned in vain, Zhao Yun was haunted in his heart.

However, after Wang Can met with Zhao Yun, he did not hold Zhao Yun and Xu Rong responsible. Although he failed to catch Liu Xie, Jia Xu had already given a plan, which was enough to ensure Wang Can's interests.

Not only that, but Wang Can instead endangered Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun to continue to train soldiers and let the broken military camp recover.

Although there are still many soldiers in the army who have been veterans for many years, rich in experience and strong combat effectiveness, because many veterans have been killed and wounded, and many new soldiers still lack cooperation, it will definitely be difficult to integrate in a short time.

Let the broken barracks exert their maximum power, this is what Zhao Yun has to do now.

Zhao Yun had a conversation with Wang Can and also learned about Lu Meng's mission.

On the one hand, he was relieved that Lu Meng dared to go to Cao Ying alone, and on the other hand, he was also worried about Lu Meng's safety, after all, he was in Cao Ying, but he couldn't help himself.

The two talked happily, and finally Wang Can sent Zhao Yun away.

……

A few days later, Lü Meng, Huang Xu, and Dian Man returned to Chang'an to meet Wang Can.

Wang Can met with Lü Meng, Dian Man, and Huang Xu in the hall.

In the hall, there were only Wang Can and Lu Meng, and there was no one else. Because when the task was assigned at the beginning, it was not known to other generals, so as not to leak the news.

Although Dian Wei and Huang Zhong were not present, the two were very happy to learn the news that Dian Man and Huang Xu had returned safely. After Lu Meng and his party returned, no matter what the process and outcome of the trip were, Dianman and Huang Xu also experienced such a test, which was enough to hone their courage.

Wang Can looked at Lu Meng and asked, "Ameng, why didn't you bring back Liu Xie's corpse?" ”

Lu Meng bowed slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Teacher, when the disciple visited Cao Cao, Cao Cao said that he would not kill the little emperor, but he was willing to hand over the little emperor to the teacher in exchange for Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong. ”

Wang Can raised his eyebrows, such a result was not far from Li Ru's strategy.

Looking at the look on Lu Meng's face, he obviously agreed.

However, it is also a great joy to be able to exchange for the little emperor, after all, Jia Xu's plan is too poisonous, if Cao Cao really kills the little emperor, he is the enemy of the princes of the world, and the princes will crusade against Cao Cao.

After a pause, Wang Can asked, "Cao Cao said how to exchange?" ”

Lu Meng clenched his fists and said: "Cao Cao asked the teacher to take Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to go, and after catching up with Cao Cao, he will agree on a place with the teacher, and then make an exchange." ”

Wang Can thought for a moment and said: "In this way, the broken military camp can not continue to rest, we welcome the little emperor, and we must be suppressed by the broken military camp, so that we can leave quickly." Amon, you go to Zhao Yun and ask him to gather the broken military camp, bring enough dry food, and we will send troops immediately. Your Wolf's Tooth Camp is also going, and everyone is armed with crossbows to deal with the unexpected. ”

"No!"

Lu Meng nodded and left with Dianman and Huang Xu.

After the three left, Wang Can conveyed another order, letting Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Li Ru stay in Chang'an, and let Gao Shun, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Cang lead troops to be stationed outside Chang'an to ensure the way back. As for Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and Wang Yue, they went with the army, and Wang Can went with a few fierce generals, even if they encountered special circumstances, they could also adapt to the situation.
