――――――

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.

The icy and biting cold wind whistled by, and the head of Hangu Pass was silver-white, like a crystal clear clotted fat, which was the frost that fell last night.

For the mountains and rivers where the snow has not disappeared, this is a veritable increase in the snow, and the cold is getting worse.

In the closed city gate, Guo Jia, who had not slept all night, personally sent Cheng Yu out of the customs, and Jia Xu and two hundred personal guards came with him to see him off.

"Mr. Wenhe, can you be accommodating and let me meet the captured generals of our army before leaving, and at least let me confirm that they are all alive."

When approaching the city gate, Cheng Yu led the war horse to stop, and when Jia Xu stepped forward, he whispered earnestly.

Jia Xu looked slightly stunned when he heard this, and then squinted his eyes slightly at Guo Jia, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

When he saw Guo Jia's clear eyes and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, Jia Xu immediately understood, knowing that Guo Jia had not revealed the current situation of Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and others, and Cheng Yu's real intention was to ask about the life and death of Cao Hong and others from his Jia Xu's mouth.

Zhong De said seriously. It's just that there is really some inconvenience at the moment, it's not that Jia won't let you see it, but that all the prisoners of war captured by our army are all imprisoned in the Tongguan camp, and they are not in Hangu Pass. However, Zhongde can rest assured that our army has always treated prisoners of war well, and there has never been an incident of abusing prisoners of war to death. ”

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cheng Yu's expression changed suddenly, his heart tightened, and he was inexplicably suspicious.

The reason why he made a tentative speech just now. just wanted to confirm the life and death of Cao Hong and others, in fact, he had already decided in his heart that Li Li would not poison Cao Hong and others who were captured for the time being. But at this moment, I saw Jia Xu smiling, and he answered so simply. Cheng Yu instead doubted whether the six main generals, including Cao Hong and Yu Ban, were still alive, and perhaps they were executed by Li Li's order after they were captured. Because, if the Xiliang generals fall into the hands of Cao Cao, I am afraid that they will have been dead for a long time. Treat others with oneself and think about it from another perspective, now that the generals of the Cao Army are in the hands of Li Li, how can they live?

And the reason why Cheng Yu thinks that Li Li will not execute Cao Hong and others. It is based on his understanding of Li Li's style of doing things and his lenient temperament, and the conclusion is reached after a comprehensive analysis.

But now facing Jia Xu with a smile on his face, Cheng Yu suddenly felt that his previous analysis was wrong. Li Li has always been very tolerant of those who have no power to resist. Even if it is an enemy, it will not torture and abuse; But after all, Li Li is the commander of the first army, and he will not put his mind on the prisoners at all, and will inevitably hand over the prisoners to his subordinates to deal with.

And Cheng Yu's biggest worry is this. Because at present, all the prisoners of war captured by the Xiliang Army are in Jia Xu's hands. For this Jia Xu, the left army division of the Xiliang Army who laughs at everyone. Cheng Yu was a little stunned when he saw him for the first time, and he was sure that this person was a kind and ruthless person, Cao Hong and others fell into his hands, even if they didn't die, they would have to shed their skin, and they would even be tortured to death by him.

"Mr. Wenhe, don't lie to me, please tell me the truth, is the captured general of our army dead?"

Jia Xu smiled indifferently: "Zhongde is too worried." The name of my lord's benevolence and righteousness has long been spread all over the world, but there is no enemy who has the power to resist. The lord will not kill people casually. In other words, my lord disdained to kill prisoners of war. If you kill him, you won't capture him alive, and you won't waste food. Usually, for some of the most heinous people or stubborn enemy generals, it is usually our subordinates who do the work for them. Belch??? Zhongde, don't get me wrong, the stubborn enemy generals mentioned by Jia do not include your generals. Hehehe! ”

"Mr. Wenhe's implication is that the captured generals of our army have all surrendered, how is this possible?" Cheng Yu exclaimed.

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "Zhongde must know that the generals under Cao Cao's account have repeatedly tried to harm my lord, so even if they are willing to surrender, we dare not accept them without the consent of the lord." So??? Hehehe, they are all very good now, Zhongde can rest assured! ”

Listening to Jia Xu's explanation, who can rest assured, who would not have thought that Cao Hong and they had already had an accident, or that they had been dead for a long time.

Suddenly, Cheng Yu's expression changed greatly, his face instantly turned pale, and he looked at Jia Xu who was smiling in disbelief, opening his mouth to speak but not knowing what to say or what to say.

"Are they all dead, how is this good? If my father-in-law, Cao Cao, learns that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen are all dead, what is the use of the covenant we agreed on last night? Cheng Yu said to Jia Xu in amazement.

"Ugh! This??? Not all of them are dead, two are not dead. Jia Xu hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth.

"Two?" Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, and said urgently: "Who are these two people?" ”

"Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu." Jia Xu didn't say anything more, and directly said three names.

"Cao Hong, Cao Anmin and Yu Ban are all dead, how did they die?" Cheng Yu asked without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly gave Cheng Yu a look, but unfortunately Cheng Yu didn't see it, and was still staring at Jia Xu and asking.

Under Cheng Yu's questioning, I saw that the smile on Jia Xu's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a calm face, with deep and obscure eyes, giving people an unfathomable feeling. But anyone who is familiar with Jia Xu can see that he is already angry at this moment, and the calmer his face is, the more unsettled his heart is, and once he is angry, the consequences are very severe.

Cao Hong, Cao Anmin and Yu Ban were seriously injured, and they were dying when they were treated after the war, and they died of their injuries that night. In addition, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu's injuries are not light, and now the injuries are becoming more and more serious, and they will definitely die in half a year or three months at most! ”

Jia Xu's voice fell, and Cheng Yu said angrily: "Why don't you treat Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, do you want to see death or not save it?" ”

"No one pays for them, no one provides us with food, so why save them? Until now, they have not starved to death and have not been killed, and we have been merciful. Do you want us to save our enemies, why? I don't know why you're asking such a stupid question, do you think we're just as naïve as you? Jia Xu scolded unceremoniously.

"You??? Jia Wenhe. Count you ruthless! Cheng Yu pointed at Jia Xu with a grim face, gritted his teeth, and said.

Jia Xu smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Count me ruthless? No. My father-in-law once said that I was a 'poisoner', and since I am a poisoner, it is inevitable that I will be ruthless. So??? Zhongde, you are wrong, it's not that I'm ruthless, but I'm ruthless! ”

"Ugh!" Jia Xu's words choked Cheng Yu and rolled his eyes, causing him to stare at Jia Xu with wide eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

"Brother Zhongde. It's not too early, hurry up and get out of the customs, and delay it like this. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today! Seeing that Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were arguing with each other, Guo Jia hurriedly stood between the two and pushed Cheng Yu to leave quickly.

Cheng Yu looked stunned when he heard this, and looked at Guo Jia and the hundreds of Xiliang armor soldiers behind him in disbelief. It was only then that he realized that he was standing inside the Hangu Pass. This is the territory of the Western Liang Army. Just now, I forgot where I was when I was excited, and at this time, I woke up, and instantly scared him out of a cold sweat, and his back was cold.

Immediately, Cheng Yu subconsciously turned over and wanted to leave here immediately. Otherwise, Jia Xu detained him in a fit of rage, which is really a no-go thing for the heavens and the earth. Isn't it wronged?

At this time, the city gate slowly opened a crack, allowing only one horse to go out of the city. Cheng Yu waved his hand to signal the three entourages to go first, and he stayed at the end. When he rode out of the city, he still said to Jia Xu with a sad heart: "Jia Wenhe, listen, now that you and I are allies, I hope you can treat Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu well, and the money and food you need will be sent to you later." Remember! ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu didn't wait for Jia Xu to reply, whipped the horse and left, as if he couldn't leave after a little hesitation.

As the city gate closed again, Jia Xu and Guo Jia walked side by side, going upstairs to the city without hurry.

"What did Feng Xiao mean by what he said just now, do you think I will forcibly leave Cheng Yu behind, and even harm him?"

"Brother Wen and don't misunderstand. You and Zhongde had a dispute just now, and I just stepped forward to play a round, and I had no other intentions. ”

"Does Bonghyo really think I'm angry?"

"Isn't it, Brother Wen He's face changed just now, isn't he angry?"

"Hehehe!" Jia Xu laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to be angry, but how can I provoke Cheng Yu if I don't pretend to be angry?" If Cheng Yu is not provoked, how can you and I complete the task assigned by the lord? ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "What does Brother Wenhe mean by this?" The covenant that has just been agreed upon with Zhongde is all a condition that we have put forward, and Cao Cao has shown enough sincerity that each of the four things is important to us. Isn't this the fulfillment of the Lord's entrustment? ”

Jia Xu nodded lightly: "Yes, Feng Xiao is right. That's why you really treat Cheng Yu as an ally and think we should treat each other with courtesy, right? ”

"Since they are allies, they naturally have to be courteous. What's wrong with that? Guo Jia continued.

"In this way, does Feng Xiao think that our army should return the captured Cao army generals to the allies?"

"This ???" Guo Jia hesitated when he heard this, nodded slightly, and said, "It stands to reason that it should be so, after all, we and Cao Jun are now allies. However, this matter has to be approved by the lord, and it is not up to us to make decisions on our own. ”

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "Feng Xiao values this so-called ally too much. Do you still remember what the lord said to you and me, some of the generals of the Cao army can't let go, and the lord will destroy Cao Cao sooner or later. It can be seen that the lord did not believe in the so-called allies at all, and he never wanted to settle his old suspicions with Cao Cao, but became more and more eager to get rid of Cao Cao. ”

"Oh? I see. Guo Jia's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly realized: "Brother Wen He deliberately falsely claimed that Cao Hong, Cao Anmin and Yu Ban died just now, I thought this was what you said, but now it seems that this is the purpose of Brother Wen He deliberately provoking Cheng Yu." Cheng Yu's question just now is equivalent to directly pushing Cao Hong and the three of them to a dead end, presumably Wen and his brother will then order someone to see the three of them secretly executed. ”

Jia Xu nodded happily: "That's right." In fact, only two of the four top-secret pieces of information brought by Cheng Yu are important military information that we don't know yet. Now that everything is clear, our army's chances of victory have increased by two percent, and the big war is imminent, which is exciting! ”

"Only two pieces of intelligence are useful to our army? This is not ordinary information that our army can find out, where did the other two pieces of information come from? Guo Jia wondered.

Jia Xu shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "The time has not yet come, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and it is difficult to decide which is right and which is wrong. When the two armies fought a decisive battle, they would immediately see the difference. The most subtle thing about the war is not that the two armies are fighting head-on, but that the clever layout hidden under the fighting. ”

Guo Jia's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he nodded thoughtfully, and then followed Jia Xu to the city tower, and when he looked up, he saw Li Li standing on the city tower, and the railing looked at the back of Cheng Yu and the others leaving.

When they approached, they heard Li Li whispering to himself: "Liu Bei actually led 50,000 soldiers and horses into the alliance, and he had already entered Hedong County two months ago; The brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi were ordered to persuade the princes of the two roads to raise troops and attack me from behind. I didn't know anything about such important information, and I almost walked a hundred steps and half ninety, and the success fell short. It seems that the strength of Hawkeye is still too weak, far less powerful than the intelligence organization of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and it is necessary to supplement the strength of Hawkeye with capable cadres, otherwise it is too passive! ”
