Liu Xiu nodded and said with a look of approval: "Wenhe is right. If he can really bring down XiahouDun and let XiahouDun say something, then Cao Cao must be angry and attack his heart. There is a great probability that he will get sick on the spot."
Pang Tong's eyes twinkled with a look of thinking, and said: "it's not sure whether he can recruit XiahouDun. So, it's an unknown thing. I think whether we can settle down the matter of XiahouDun can stimulate Cao Cao thoroughly. "
"Hard!"
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "there are too many uncertainties in this matter."
With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "it's OK, even if XiahouDun doesn't surrender. If we kill XiahouDun in front of Cao Cao, we can achieve the same effect. "
Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Liu Xiu laughed and said, "now, we can think about the war in three days."
"Deng Zhan!"
Liu Xiu gave the order directly.
"Yes
Deng Zhan gave a reply.
Liu Xiu said, "send someone to deliver a letter directly to Cao Cao's camp and tell him that three days later, our king will fight with him."
"No!"
After hearing the speech, Deng Zhan turned around and went down to prepare.
"Wait a minute!"
Pang Tong reached out to stop.
Deng Zhan stops, but looks at Pang Tong with doubts in his eyes. Why did Pang Tong stop him.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Highness, the news that XiahouDun was captured and caoren was killed has not yet spread. Once we take the initiative to fight in the afternoon, will we scare the snake and let Cao Cao know in advance? If Cao Cao knows ahead of time, it will certainly make him psychologically prepared and hard to achieve the effect of suddenly attacking him. "
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, I just want Cao Cao to know."
Pang Tong said, "what does your highness mean?"
Liu Xiu replied: "the truth is very simple. If we don't let Cao Cao know, in three days' time, we will give Cao Cao a strange surprise, which will catch him off guard."
"However, to inform Cao Cao in advance also has certain advantages, that is, to increase Cao Cao's psychological burden."
"Cao Ren is the first person to follow Cao Cao, and he is a brother."
"XiahouDun was also the first person to follow Cao Cao, and he was also a brother."
"These two men are very important in Cao Cao's mind. Especially XiahouDun. The death of XiaHouYuan has already made Cao Cao lose an arm. Now that XiahouDun has an accident again, the burden in Cao Cao's heart will be even heavier. "
Liu Xiu talked with great eloquence and analyzed: "moreover, even if we don't pass on the news, once Wei Yan and Deng yuan lead the army into Xinye, I'm afraid it's hard to hide Cao."
"So we told Cao Cao in advance, but we didn't tell him the details."
"Cao Cao will have guesses and doubts."
"The more suspicious he is, the more uneasy he is, the more nervous he will be. Cao Cao's continuous worry and tension is always in a tense state, which is not good for his head wind disease. "
Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled with light, and said: "once Cao Cao really confirms the news that Cao Ren was killed and Xia Houdun was captured, it will be the last straw that killed the camel, and Cao Cao will bear more severe blows."
Jia Xu's eyes twinkled after listening.
A moment later, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness's words are indeed this truth."
Pang Tong said, "well, I'll do it according to your Highness's orders."
After hearing this, Deng Zhan did not hesitate to leave the camp directly, and then took part of the royal guards with him to leave the camp quickly and head for Cao Cao's camp.
When he came to Cao Cao's camp, Deng Zhan directly ordered the action.
The archer quickly released his arrows, and one feather arrow passed through the air, and finally landed in Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao's soldiers were on guard, while Deng Zhan brushed his clothes and left.
Xun you was patrolling in the camp. When he saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to pick up all the bows and arrows and collect the notes tied to them. After he took them apart, he went straight to the Chinese army.
When he came to the camp, Cao Cao was dealing with military affairs.
Cao Cao said: "Gongda is coming, sit down!"
When Xun you sat down and saw that Cao Cao was still dealing with military affairs, he did not disturb him for the time being.
A moment later, Cao Cao finished his work. Then he looked at Xun you and said, "I heard Xu Chu say that you were patrolling in the camp. Why did you suddenly come to me?"
Xun you came forward, handed the note, and said: "King Wei, Liu Xiu's soldiers just came, and then shot many bows and arrows into the camp. All the bows and arrows were bound with notes."
Cao Cao took it and looked at it quickly.
"Three days later, fight again!"
Cao Cao repeated, his face showing a look of doubt, said: "these days, Liu Xiu has been on strike. Now, Liu Xiu went to war directly. It's really strange. ""Somebody
Cao Cao gave a direct order.
In an instant, Xu Chu quickly came in and saluted.
Cao Cao said, "Zhongkang, send someone to invite Cheng Yu, man Chong, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and others to discuss the matter."
"No!"
Xu Chu held his fist and turned around to arrange it.
Cao Cao looked at Xun you and asked, "Gongda, Liu Xiu suddenly went to war. What do you think?"
Xun you said: "the king of Wei, in the next time, he can't figure it out. Maybe Liu Xiu is ready to fight. Perhaps it was Liu Xiu who discovered the intention of general Xia Houdun and general Cao Ren, and knew that the rear area was unstable, so he planned to fight against his highness. "
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and said, "Gongda, this time, you are not honest. You lied."
Xun you said with a smile, "the king of Wei, there is a third possibility."
Cao Cao said solemnly: "wait a moment, when they are all here, you can talk about the third possibility, and then everyone will analyze it together."
"No!"
Xun you nodded, and his face was solemn.
Soon, Cheng Yu, man Chong, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and other literary officials all entered the camp.
The crowd saluted and sat down in the tent.
Cao Cao's eyes swept over the crowd, and his face became especially dignified. He said slowly: "just now, I received the letter of war sent by Liu Xiu, saying that I would fight again in three days. As for this news, after discussing with Gongda, I think it is very unfavorable for us. Gongda, you can analyze it. "
"No!"
Xun you answered with a solemn expression on his face.
Liu Xiu's action was too abrupt, so Xun you was nervous.
Xun you took a deep breath and said, "I think about the situation that Liu Xiu suddenly sent the book of war. There are three possibilities. The first is that Liu Xiu has not fought for such a long time, and now he has decided to fight. "
"Second, Liu Xiu learned the news from the rear, and knew that Cao Ren and general Xia Houdun cut off their respective routes, so Liu Xiu was eager to fight a decisive battle, and then solved Xia Houdun and Cao Ren at one stroke."
"Third, Liu Xiu had known for a long time what Cao Ren and general Xia Houdun were doing. Now, Liu Xiu has solved the threat of Cao Ren and Xia Houdun and completely pacified the rear area, so now he has to start a decisive battle. "
Xun you's eyes showed prudence.
The third is the last thing he wants to see. Such a result is bound to be the worst one, and also the last one that people want to see.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and his hand on his leg suddenly clenched into a fist.
In my eyes, there is a strong worry.
From the beginning, Cao Cao's army was supported by the brothers of Cao family and Xiahou family, and then he came to today step by step. Now that XiaHouYuan is dead, if Cao Ren and XiahouDun are wrong, then
Think of here, Cao Cao brain on a burst of pain.
Cao Cao clenched his teeth and endured it, unwilling to think about the worst.
It's going to be fine.
It will be safe.
Cao Cao's eyes showed a look of prayer.
Up to now, Cao Cao has no solution. He can only pray for their safety.
When they heard the words, their faces were cautious.
Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his jaw and said in a deep voice: "King Wei, no matter how Cao Ren and Xia Houdun fought. Now Liu Xiu wants to fight, we can't show weakness. I believe that after three days of fighting, we can naturally get a glimpse of the truth. Instead of thinking and worrying here, it's better to order the soldiers to prepare for war. On the contrary, it can better stabilize the situation. "
Man Chong nodded and said, "Duke Zhongde is right. What he can do now is to wait. In addition, you can send someone to inquire about the news and see if you can contact the Scouts of Xia Houdun and Cao Ren. "
They all agreed with Cheng Yu's analysis.
After hearing this, Cao Cao's emotion gradually calmed down. Although he was also extremely worried, he was really powerless and had to wait for the current situation.
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Mr. Zhong De, try your best to arrange spies to inquire about the news."
"No!"
Cheng Yu arched his hand to answer, and his expression was solemn.
Cao Cao looked at Xun you again and said, "Gongda, send orders and prepare for war. Three days later, I'm going to fight Liu Xiu. "
"No!"
Xun you nodded and his face was extremely cautious.
Cao Cao waved the crowd to retreat, and sat alone in the camp, thinking about today's affairs. Although it is useless for Cheng Yu to persuade him to worry for the time being, he is his brother after all. How can he not worry.
All, only wish health!
In Cao Cao's heart, he prayed that Cao Ren and XiahouDun would be safe.
