Xin Ping did not keep Yuan Tan waiting for too long, and he got the exact news just one day later.
But this time, Xin Ping came to General Wei's house to discuss with Yuan Tan, along with his younger brother Xin Pi.
After seeing Xin Ping and Xin Pi, Yuan Tan welcomed them into the meeting hall with great respect.
"Mr. Zhongzhi, Mr. Zuoji, please sit down!" Yuan Tan was counting on these two brothers, so naturally he had to be polite to them.
"Your Majesty, please come first!" Xin Ping and Xin Pi were also people who knew etiquette. They both returned the greeting and waited until Yuan Tan sat down before they sat down.
"Zhongzhi, how is Mr. George? Have you thought of a solution?" Yuan Tan asked impatiently.
Xin Ping glanced at Xin Pi and said, "This is all the result of my good brother!"
"If you don't dare to be...brother, just say so."
Xin Ping was not polite. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "My lord, my second brother and I have come up with a complete plan!"
"Tell me quickly!" Yuan Tan felt that he was already a little excited.
Xin Ping smiled and said: "Master, we can pretend to surrender to Cao Cao first and ask Cao Cao to send troops to attack Jizhou. In this way, we can reap the benefits."
"But how can Cao Cao be willing to send troops in vain?" Yuan Tan is not a fool. Yuan Tan would not do such a thing as making wedding clothes for others, let alone Boss Cao, who is known for his treachery.
At this time, Xinpi spoke, "My lord can think of the key, which shows that my lord is as wise and wise as the previous lord."
"Oops! Sir, you have received the award, how can I compare with my father?!" Yuan Tan said that he cannot be compared, but he was already grinning from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears.
"For a person like Prime Minister Cao, naturally he will not send troops in vain, so we must first let Prime Minister Cao see hope!"
"Hope? What hope?" Yuan Tan was a little confused now.
Xinpi glanced at his elder brother, who understood, got up and closed the door of the meeting hall.
There were only three people, Yuan Tan, Xin Ping and Xin Pi, in the huge meeting hall, which seemed particularly mysterious.
When Xin Ping came back, Xin Pi lowered his voice and said: "My lord, we can lure Yuan Shang to attack first. As long as Yuan Shang's army is dispatched, the city of Ye will be empty. Doesn't Prime Minister Cao see hope?"
"This..." Yuan Tan's eyes widened and he looked a little shocked.
Luring Yuan Shang to attack him, what should he do if he can't resist it? Wouldn't it be self-defeating and shooting himself in the foot?
Xin Ping saw Yuan Tan's concerns, so he offered another plan: "Of course, if we lure Yuan Shang to attack on Cao Cao's behalf, they will definitely have to do something. If we can't withstand it anymore, Cao Cao will have lost all his efforts."
"Mr. Zhongzhi means...asking Cao Cao for food and weapons?"
"No!" Xin Pi narrowed his eyes and said, "Not only food, grass and weapons, we also need Prime Minister Cao to secretly send troops to help!"
"Will Cao Cao agree? Isn't he afraid that we will rebel and annex this army?" Yuan Tan obviously felt that Cao Cao was not that stupid.
"But if someone acts as a hostage, Cao Cao will definitely agree.
As long as Yuan Shang sends troops to attack, we can let Cao Cao's army mix with our own army to fight against him." After thinking for a moment, Xinpi continued,
"Cao's army is powerful and can definitely catch Yuan Shang by surprise. Once he is severely injured, Yuan Shang will besiege us at all costs."
Without waiting for Yuan Tan to think carefully, Xin Ping continued: "Cao Cao has coveted Jizhou for a long time. If the city of Ye is empty and we have us to contain Yuan Shang and promise to provide him with all the food and grass he needs, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to Ye.
city.
As soon as Cao Cao sends troops, Yuan Shang will desperately rescue him.
Yuan Shang was worried about the safety of Ye City, and he must have been in a state of panic when he retreated.
When the time comes, we can use all our best troops to cover up Yuan Shang from behind, seize Yuan Shang's food, supplies, and gather his soldiers, so that we can take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves.
And another advantage here is that if we rob Yuan Shang's baggage of food and grass, then Cao Cao will have no place to grab food. Cao Cao came all the way in a hurry, and the food and grass will inevitably be insufficient, and he can only rely on our supply.
.
When Cao Cao is short of food, we can shirk our own lack of food and provide him with only a small amount intermittently, so that he can only consume each other with Yuan Shang and it is not enough to capture Ye City at once.
As long as time delays for a long time, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to persist and will inevitably retreat.
Cao Cao retreated, leaving only a weak Yuan Shang... Aren't we ready to capture such a Yuan Shang?"
Yuan Tan seemed to have watched a blockbuster movie, and immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! What a wonderful idea! The wisdom of these two gentlemen is far superior to that of Zhicai and Guo Jia!"
"How shameless!"
"My lord, you have given me too much praise..."
However, Yuan Tan suddenly remembered a word Xin Pi said before, "Hostage..."
At this time, Yuan Tan had obviously chewed something. He looked at Xin Ping and Xin Pi and said solemnly: "You two gentlemen are my right-hand men..."
"For the sake of my lord, I will not hesitate to die!" Xin Ping and Xin Pi stood up, bowed and held their hands together.
Yuan Tan was so moved that his eyes were red, "My father didn't want to see me, my third brother took away my inheritance, and my second brother also supported the third brother... I thought I was alone, but I didn't expect that someone would love me after all..."
Xin Pi said to Xin Ping: "My lord cannot do without your advice, big brother, so let me be the envoy."
Xin Ping knew that Xin Pi was telling the truth, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, my dear brother..."
"Without further delay, I'll set off right away!" Xin Pi bowed to Yuan Tan and Xin Ping, then turned and left.
Xin Ping opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Xin Pijue's back, he could only sigh and said: "That's all... take care of yourself."
...
After Xinpi walked out of General Wei's mansion, his previous dignified and hurried expression disappeared instantly.
Looking back at the three characters "General Wei", he shook his head and sighed: "Eldest Young Master, elder brother... I also think about the family, don't blame me... At least under Prime Minister Cao, the Eldest Young Master can still
Have a prosperous and prosperous old age, and our Xin family can also have a bright future..."
When passing by a dark alley, Xinpi looked around and saw that no one was looking at him, so he ducked and disappeared into the dark alley.
Walking alone in a dark alley full of filth, a very young voice suddenly sounded in Xinpi's ears: "How is it going?"
Xinpi's heart, which had been on edge, suddenly calmed down at the moment the voice sounded.
He took a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied: "I have convinced Yuan Tan, and the plan can begin..."
"You did a good job..."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir... I wonder if my subordinates can know your name?" Xinpi thought that now that the plan has begun, he is already regarded as Prime Minister Cao's person. Knowing the other party's identity can be regarded as getting some information from the Cao Group in disguise.
Recognition and protection.
The other party seemed to be thinking. After half a breath, the man's voice sounded again, "You can call me, Yan Feng."
