Zhang Yan smiled but didn't answer, Jia Xu didn't ask anymore, and it was not difficult for him to see the result he wanted from the expression on Zhang Yan's face.

At this time, a brocade guard hurriedly walked in from outside, whispered something in Zhang Yan's ear, Zhang Yan waved his hand, and sent the brocade guard away.

After Jinyiwei left the hall, Zhang Yan said to Jia Xu: "Military advisor, I just received information that Cao Cao led the army has returned from Youzhou and has now arrived in Julu. ”

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Then how is the regent going to deal with Cao Cao?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Just use Cao Hong to make a fuss!" However, this plan has to ask the military advisor to think of a foolproof strategy. ”

Jia Xu said: "It is incumbent on my subordinates! ”

Zhang Yan and Jia Xu talked for a long time in the hall, and it was not until the dead of night that the two separated.

Tonight, Zhang Yan did not hold a celebration banquet, because the war had not yet been completely won, and Zhang Yan was also worried that his subordinates would show arrogance.

Nothing happened overnight.

When it was dawn the next day, Zhang Yan brought Cao Hong over.

Cao Hong was sleeping soundly in the barracks when suddenly a brocade guard came to the big tent and told him that Zhang Yan wanted to see him.

Cao Hong couldn't figure out the status of the matter, and his heart was full of things, but on the surface he was very deferential.

Following Jinyiwei, Cao Hong came to the hall of the government in Yecheng, and Zhang Yan was sitting in the center of the hall anxiously waiting for something.

"Regent, you are in such a hurry to find the last general, I don't know why?" Cao Hong was uneasy in his heart and asked cautiously.

Zhang Yan hurriedly said, "I just received a secret report from the scout. It is said that Cao Cao has led a large army to arrive at Julu City. Location from Yecheng. It's only more than 200 miles. Since you surrendered to me, you are equivalent to my subordinates, and I have a clever plan here, I hope you can take on the heavy responsibility this time! ”

Cao Hong hugged his fists and said: "The last general will not give up!" ”

So, Zhang Yan told Cao Hong about the whole jihua.

Jihua is like this, Zhang Yan asked Cao Hong to go out of Yecheng and ride alone to meet Cao Cao, saying that Cao Hong was pretending to surrender. In fact, his heart was towards Cao Cao, and he was willing to do internal response for Cao Cao, and when he was ugly on the night of the fifth day of the sixth month, he raised a fire in the city, opened the Xuanwu Gate, and let Cao Cao's army enter the city.

As long as such a thing is completed, even if Cao Hong's task is over, he will make a great contribution.

After Cao Hong heard this, he chuckled in his heart, what Zhang Yan said. It was exactly what he wanted to do, but he didn't expect Zhang Yan to think the same way.

Of course. Zhang Yan asked him to introduce Cao Cao into the Xuanwu Gate, not to bring about his own destruction, but to definitely set up an ambush in the urn city of the Xuanwu Gate to ambush Cao Cao. If he really did this, it would undoubtedly be Cao Cao's own destruction.

However, Cao Hong still nodded heavily, since the opportunity has come, he will make good use of this opportunity and plan it!

Cao Hong received the order, decisively left Yecheng, stepped on the war horse, galloped like a fly, like an arrow off the string, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After a day of rushing around, Cao Hong really ran into Cao Cao's army on the official road from Julu to Yecheng.

Cao Cao is leading the army to Yecheng hurriedly, yesterday he has received the news, Zhang Yan led an army of 50,000 to attack Yecheng, one day to capture Yecheng, Cao Hong surrendered, Xun Yu was captured, Yecheng was completely occupied by Zhang Yan.

Cao Hong and Xun Yu are Cao Cao's henchmen, and their behavior Cao Cao couldn't be clearer, if Cao Hong and Xun Yu are dead, then he will not lead his troops to Yecheng at all, but turn west and go to Bingzhou and Jinyang.

However, when Cao Hong surrendered and the news of Xun Yu's capture came, Cao Cao did not hesitate to lead the army to Yecheng. Because, he knew that this must be Xun Yu's expedient measure, so he asked Cao Hong to surrender as a warning, letting him know that there was still Cao Hong in Yecheng to use, and gave him a chance to fight back.

Over the years, Cao Cao and Xun Yu have also been teachers and friends, and the two of them know each other as well as they know themselves.

Cao Cao put himself in his shoes and thought about it, when Xun Yu led a large army to the city, there was only so much Xun Yu could do.

At this moment, Cao Cao was on the way forward, and suddenly met Cao Hong, and he was suddenly shocked, and he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Cao Cao rode the shadow and quickly met Cao Hong, as soon as the two met, Cao Cao asked: "Why did you appear here alone, could it be that your plan to surrender was discovered?" Is Wen Ruo still alive? ”

When Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's words, he was stunned for a moment, because he was about to explain everything to Cao Cao, saying that he had surrendered by fraud and was arranged by Xun Yu, waiting for Cao Cao to arrive, and then come to join forces inside and outside to recapture Yecheng.

However, as soon as Cao Cao met, he revealed the secret and said that he was a fraud, which made Cao Hong couldn't help but be surprised by Cao Cao's insight into things.

Cao Hong immediately reined in the horse, jumped off the horse, then knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, I am indeed a deceitful surrender, but the strategy has not been seen through by Zhang Yan, the reason why I appeared here is that Zhang Yan sent me to lure the lord into the city, Mr. Xun was also imprisoned in the dungeon by Zhang Yan, without Zhang Yan's order, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, and I and Mr. Xun cannot meet." However, Mr. Xun has already planned to stay, and I came here this time to take this opportunity to help the lord regain Yecheng. ”

Cao Cao was relieved when he heard that Xun Yu was fine, if Xun Yu died and Cao Hong came here again, then there would be no need to go to Yecheng. Since Xun Yu was not dead, he heard Cao Hong say that he would do what he wanted, so he asked Cao Hong to stand up from the ground, and then asked carefully.

Cao Hong informed Cao Cao of what Zhang Yan had explained to him, and after Cao Cao heard this, Hahadaxiao got up, swept away the clouds on his face, and said loudly: "God really help me!" Wen Ruo was really smart, and he actually thought of such a plan early......"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao said to Cao Hong: "You go back first, tell Zhang Yan, and say that you have won my trust, and I will lead the army to Xuanwu Gate on time." ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "But my lord, this is Zhang Yan's plan to lure the enemy, and he will definitely set up a heavy ambush in Xuanwu Gate." Take this opportunity. Destroy the lord ...... in one fell swoop"

"Calm down. How can I not know these things? It's just that do you really think Zhang Yan will believe your deception plan so easily? Cao Cao said suspiciously.

Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xun cooperated with each other, we played a good show in front of Zhang Yan, which was very realistic, and for this, I also slapped Mr. Xun with my own hands." How can Zhang Yan not believe it? ”

Cao Cao sneered and said, "You underestimate Zhang Yan too much, and you underestimate Wen Ruo too much." If Wen Ruo's plan is really so simple, then he is not worthy of being my mastermind! I have been a teacher and friend with Wen Ruo for many years, how can I not know what he thinks? ”

Cao Hong was completely confused, Cao Cao's words made Cao Hong more and more confused, and he hurriedly asked: "Lord, I was completely confused by you." If Mr. Xun's strategy is not like this, then what is it? ”

Cao Cao smiled. whispered something to Cao Hong, after Cao Hong heard it, he suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Xun is really clever, it's just weird, the last general is too stupid, he didn't fully understand Mr. Xun's true intentions, it's really damned, damn it!" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Zilian, you don't have to blame yourself, if Wen Ruo's strategy is really easily understood by you, then you may not be able to make Zhang Yan believe in your deception." You go back first, just do what I say, and you don't need to understand the rest! ”

Cao Hong nodded heavily, turned over and jumped on horseback, and then hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, the last general is waiting for your arrival in the city!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and waved goodbye to Cao Hong. Then, Cao Cao ordered the army to speed up!

Cao Hong returned to Yecheng and told Zhang Yan that he had won the trust of Cao Cao, and that Cao Cao would arrive at Xuanwu Gate on time on the fifth day of the sixth month.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he got up, and then immediately ordered someone to tie up Cao Hong to Wuhuada.

Cao Hong was shocked and shouted, "Why does the regent want to tie me up? ”

"Do you think I don't know? Are you really taking me for a fool? Zhang Yan sneered.

Cao Hong was shocked in his heart, with a surprised expression on his face, but this surprise did not come from Zhang Yan seeing through his deception, but because of Cao Cao's keen insight and prediction, he didn't expect that after he came back, he would really be tied up by Zhang Yan.

"Now that you have seen through it, I have nothing to say, if I want to kill or chop, listen to you!" Cao Hong is neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhang Yan smiled: "I won't kill you for the time being, and when Cao Cao is arrested, it won't be too late for me to kill you." I'm going to show you how I got Cao Cao to death! ”

Cao Hong snorted coldly and never said a word again.

So, Zhang Yan asked Cao Hong to be locked in a dungeon, in the same cell as Xun Yu.

Cao Hong was pushed into the dungeon, and after Xun Yu saw Cao Hong, a faint smile appeared on his face, because he knew that once Cao Hong was imprisoned, it meant that he had no use value.

"Have you seen the lord?" Xun Yu hurriedly asked.

Cao Hong nodded, and said softly to Xun Yu: "The lord has already guessed the good intentions of Don't drive the lord, and when the day after tomorrow is ugly, it will be the time for the lord to fight back!" Yecheng will also return to the hands of the lord on that day. ”

Xun Yu smiled: "So the best, so the best......"

Cao Hong admired Xun Yu very much, so he asked: "Don't drive your lord, you are really a god, how do you know that Zhang Yan will lock me up after using me?" ”

Xun Yu's face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't know if Zhang Yan will kill you......"

Cao Hong was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "You don't know either?" So, when you made this plan, you didn't think that I would die. ”

Xun Yu nodded.

Cao Hong suddenly felt afraid for a while, and when he remembered what he had done, he had palpitations, if Zhang Yan didn't lock him up today, but killed him, wouldn't he be unclear until he died?

Cao Hong always thought that Xun Yu had calculated accurately, but he didn't expect Xun Yu to be making a big gamble with his life.

For Cao Hong, he would rather die on the battlefield than die like this. Fortunately, Xun Yu's gamble didn't cost him his life, at least for now.

Cao Hong thought about it again, and he didn't bother with this matter anymore, because Xun Yu had put his life on the line from the beginning, so why did he bother with this matter?

Now, Cao Hong and Xun Yu are both very relaxed, and they are also full of expectations for the day after tomorrow, looking forward to the moment when the cell is opened and Cao Cao personally comes to pick them up from the cell...... (To be continued......)
