After hearing the soldier's report, Cao Cao was obviously slightly stunned. He looked at Zhao Fei with a surprised look and found that Zhao Fei was also a little surprised. At this moment, Cao Cao was confused. Isn't this the surprise that Zhao Fei said.
No matter what, I still want to meet this person. Now that Jixian County has been banned, this person can risk going out of the city to see me. I think he has something to say.
Cao Cao ordered someone to bring the man in and looked him up and down. There was nothing special about this man, but there was a hint of cleverness about him. Obviously, this is what a confidant must possess.
thing.
"I have met the Prime Minister and the Taiwei!" It was obvious that Cao Cao and Zhao Fei knew each other. The man came to the hall and knelt down and said.
Seeing this person appear in front of him, Zhao Fei was obviously a little surprised. Zhao Fei's so-called surprise was just that he thought that Yuan Xi would definitely make a mistake while he was busy, so if he let Yuan Xi struggle for a while, Yuan Xi would make more mistakes.
many.[
However, this person made Zhao Fei feel a little bit jealous. He was not sure whether this person was Yuan Xi's conspiracy. But before that, let's listen to what this person said and decide what to do.
"Who are you?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, staring at the people in the hall. In his words, Cao Cao brought a hint of majesty. Who is Cao Cao? Rang is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and is now the most tyrannical prince in the world. His majesty is naturally not
Everyone can bear it.
When the man in the hall heard Cao Cao's inquiry, he obviously trembled slightly. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up at Cao Cao. Although he was Zhao Xuan's confidant and could be entrusted with important responsibilities, but not all
Everyone can face Cao Cao's majesty.
The people in the hall pondered for a moment, and then said: "Reporting to your Majesty, Prime Minister, I am a servant of Chief Zhao Xuan of Youzhou. The purpose of coming here today is to meet Prime Minister Cao and Lieutenant Zhao."
Cao Cao looked at the people in the hall, and then looked at Zhao Fei. Seeing Zhao Fei nodded slightly, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Okay, get up and talk!"
After the people in the hall got up, Zhao Fei immediately asked: "I wonder why the chief clerk asked you to come here?"
"Reporting to Lord Taiwei, my master asked me to tell you and Prime Minister Cao that now the entire Jixian County has fallen into a state of panic. Because of Zhang Nan's incident, Yuan Xi became distraught. He not only restricted the city, but also
Also control the families of all the leading generals!" The man in the hall obviously had nothing to hide and told Cao Jun all the information his master told him.
Zhao Fei showed a faint smile when he heard the words. Zhao Fei felt that he could still trust what the people in the hall said. Firstly, the ban in Jixian County is true, and secondly, it is not a joke to joke about these things.
Good thing.
Moreover, even if Yuan Xi banned Ji County, Cao Jun had his own way to send the news. However, the news that came was obviously not as detailed as what this person said, but the news that came was very different from what this person said.
"Then what does your master mean?" Zhao Fei asked with a faint smile. Zhao Fei didn't believe that the chief clerk named Zhao Xuan sent his confidant here just to say such a few words. He
There must be something up his sleeve, and the most likely possibility is that he wants to betray Cao Cao.
"My master said that Cao's army has been stationed in Zhuoxian for too long. Although Jixian seems to be peaceful now, there are undercurrents surging inside. The discord between the emperor and his ministers is a huge hidden danger. Although the problem has not yet broken out, if
If Cao’s army approaches the city, you don’t know what will happen!”
Zhao Fei nodded, it was true, Yuan Xi was now suppressing it with force. Although the generals still obey Yuan Xi's words now, because there is a balance between them. They couldn't compete with Yuan Xi, so they could only endure it silently.
If Cao Jun intervenes, the relationship between Yuan Xi and the generals will definitely change. Compared with Yuan Xi, Cao Jun is obviously a more cost-effective target. As long as things get started, unpredictable changes will occur.
"Your master is just a bookkeeper, how can he have such huge power?" Zhao Fei grinned. He knew that since Zhao Xuan dared to send people, it means that Zhao Xuan is ready. Because Zhao Xuan
He is a counselor who knows what it means to plan before taking action.
"Don't worry, sir. My master has contacted many generals. As long as Cao Jun wants to attack the city, the generals will take action!" The people in the hall said solemnly.
This sentence was obviously what Zhao Fei wanted to hear the most. He nodded slightly, and then said to Cao Cao: "I think our army is ready to go on an expedition. Based on the current situation, it is obviously easy to capture Jixian!"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and glanced at the man down the hall. The man was obviously very knowledgeable and knew that he should leave at this time. Cao Cao waved his hand and two soldiers came over and took the man down.
This person is obviously not surprised, because he knows his current form. Since he dares to come, he is well prepared. Moreover, what he said is true, and there is nothing to be afraid of. It can be said that he is very safe now
, there is no need to worry about your own life at all.
After Zhao Xuan's servant was taken away, Cao Cao said loudly: "Pengju, Pengju, this surprise you gave me is really not a small thing!" Cao Cao's tone was quite emotional, and it was obvious that this surprise was really not a small thing.
[
But Zhao Fei shook his head and said: "I am quite surprised by this surprise, but I didn't expect that Jixian County is already in such chaos now. I thought Yuan Xi had some abilities, but I didn't expect to do such a thing. It's really unimaginable!"
"We have been waiting for a long time, and the generals are a little impatient. Since the good news has come today, we will send troops to Jixian tomorrow!" Cao Cao finally made the decision. He had been waiting for a long time now, and he was also full of confidence in taking Jixian.
desire.

The next day, news came out that inspired the army. The lord was finally preparing to go to Jixian. All the generals of Cao's army had been waiting for this news for a long time. Now that they had finally arrived, they were naturally very excited.
Without any unnecessary words, all the generals urged the soldiers to gather quickly. Everyone had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They did not want their soldiers to hold back the army. Moreover, Ji County is the most important city in Youzhou. Take this city.
, that is definitely a great achievement.
The news that Cao Jun finally sent troops reached Jixian. Yuan Xi was obviously stunned when he heard the news. Although he had been prepared to welcome Cao Jun, he obviously still had some illusions in his heart, hoping that Cao Jun would be stationed in Zhuoxian.
Don't go north.
But the idea is always good, but the reality is cruel. Cao Jun has already attacked, so the next step is to talk about how to hold on to the city.
The purpose of summoning a group of civil servants and generals under his command was naturally to discuss how to deal with Cao's army.
After the generals under Yuan Xi heard the news that Cao Jun had finally sent troops, many of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Today's Jixian County is really too depressing, and Yuan Xi's suspicion has made everyone feel breathless. They obviously don't want to
Keep going.
Now that Cao Jun is here, in order to allow the generals to face the enemy with peace of mind, Yuan Xi should let his family go. Many people thought so, but the answer they got was obviously no, and Yuan Xi simply ignored everyone
, in his opinion, this is nothing at all.
Cao's army is about to attack the city. In order to ensure that you don't rebel, I can't let go of your family members. After guarding Jixian and Cao's army withdraws, your family members will naturally be able to return to you safely.
The generals of the Yuan Army obviously could not accept this answer. Until now, Yuan Xi still did not choose to believe in himself. This decision obviously strengthened some people's ideas, and Yuan Xi's rule had obviously become precarious.
Several discussions obviously had no effect, but due to the fear of family members' lives, the entire Jixian County entered a state of preparation for war.
In order to fight against Cao Jun, the strategic materials of the entire Jixian County were obviously quite abundant. After Yuan Xi gave an order, the entire Jixian city wall was piled up by Yuan Jun soldiers. As for the rolling logs and stones used to defend the city, they were also moved into the city. It took half a day.
, the entire Jixian County entered a state of first-level war preparation.
The people of Jixian County could obviously feel that the war was about to break out. They huddled in their homes and did not dare to go out. In an instant, the originally lively Jixian County became very deserted, and a solemn anger swept through the entire Jixian County.
In such a solemn atmosphere, Zhao Xuan seemed very leisurely. He obviously didn't care how the war would develop. The only thing he cared about was whether Cao Jun's sending troops had anything to do with him.
After calculation, if there are no accidents, his confidants have already arrived in Zhuoxian County. If his confidants have really arrived in Zhuoxian County, then Cao Jun's dispatch of troops should have something to do with him. After all, Cao Jun took advantage of the opportunity for a long time, and this dispatch of troops is obviously surprising.
Accident.
If Cao Jun's sending troops really has something to do with him, then this matter is very promising. Moreover, even if Cao Jun's sending troops has nothing to do with him, he will no longer have to live in fear.
Now Yuan Xi's whole body and mind are devoted to how to deal with Cao's army. Although Jixian is still under prohibition, it is no longer as aggressive as it was in the past few days. This is a good sign. If Yuan Xi relaxes his vigilance, then he can
Do more.
He summoned his confidant and once again handed the secret letter he had written to this confidant. The confidant was obviously very familiar with this matter. After collecting the letter, the confidant left quietly.
After nightfall, many people gathered in Zhao Xuan's mansion again. Looking at everyone in the secret room, Zhao Xuan took the lead and said: "Now that Cao Jun has sent troops, at such a critical moment, Yuan Xi still doesn't want to believe me.
After seeing it, my decision to wait was the right one!”
After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, everyone nodded. They thought that Yuan Xi would be more restrained after Cao Jun arrived. But unexpectedly, Yuan Xi did not care about the thoughts of the soldiers at all and still imprisoned his family members. Such an extreme approach
What resulted was unanimous resistance from everyone, so at this moment they definitely no longer have any illusions about Yuan Xi.
