At midnight, a black shadow quietly appeared outside the corner door of Zhang Wang's house. He looked around and discovered that there was no one around, so he lightly knocked on the door. After a while, a blurry voice came from inside. The person whispered a name, and the door of the corner quickly opened. He quickly dashed inside, and the door immediately closed up.

After a while, Zhang Wang who had received the news came to the study room. Upon seeing the person, he anxiously asked: "Shu Da is here at night, do you have something to discuss?"

A forty year old person looked around thirty years old. He first invited Sima Fu to take a seat, then said with a smile: "Nephew, please speak frankly, as long as this old man can do it, he will not refuse."

"Uncle is indeed a straightforward person. This nephew is extremely impressed!" Sima Fu flattered without thinking, and asked softly: "Uncle, what do you think of Envoy Cao sending troops this time?"

Zhang Wang was startled upon hearing these words. He had already guessed sixty to seventy percent of Sima Fu's intention in coming here. He deliberately muttered to himself for a while before speaking in a stern voice, "In this old man's opinion, it would be difficult for the Envoy Cao to achieve their goal! Shu Da, it is said that Gongsun Xu is a brave warrior, and the White Horse Camp soldiers under him are capable of fighting him head-on. Now that the Envoy Cao's forces are insufficient, there is still some hope to defend the city. Furthermore, the Marquis Jin had encircled Qinghe County so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. Even if Envoy Cao had defeated General Gongsun Xu by a fluke, it was very difficult to break out of this encirclement and enter the Qing He City! Envoy Cao's best course of action is to lead the group of people to break out of the encirclement, and return to Yanzhou as soon as possible so that we can avoid complete annihilation! "

Sima Fu smiled and said: "Uncle is right, my father and brother also share the same view, but with Gongsun Xu's current army encircling the city, it would not be easy for the Envoy Cao to break out of their encirclement! The most important thing is that although Gongsun Xu has many cavalrymen, the Envoy Cao's are almost completely wiped out. Now that he is defending the city and is able to gain the upper hand, if he is chased by Gongsun Xu's cavalry on the way out of the encirclement, the outcome would be dire! "

Zhang Wang nodded his head, then asked: "Brother Jian Gong (Sima Fang) and Brother Xian Kun Zhong have already seen through the situation, why would Zhong Da come under the command of the Envoy Cao? Aren't you afraid that Gongsun Xu will take revenge after the city is destroyed? "

Sima Fu laughed: "There is another secret behind brother joining the Envoy Cao. General Gongsun Xu already knows about this!"

Zhang Wang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the Sima family was really quick in their actions, to actually be able to pull some strings with Gongsun Xu without telling anyone! After the shock, Zhang Wang's face revealed a look of displeasure. Zhang family and Sima family had been friends for many years, and could be considered as two families that shared both honor and disgrace, yet the Sima family secretly contacted Gongsun Xu without him knowing. If not for Sima's seeking help, he would probably have been kept in the dark forever.

Actually, only last night did my father contact General Gongsun Xu. If he had come to pay his respects to my uncle today, he might have been discovered by the Envoy Cao, and that would have been why my father allowed my nephew to come here at night. "

Hearing that, Zhang Wang's expression immediately calmed down, Cao Cao Cao had already taken control of the Henei County's defense, and the Sima family was a famous family, making them very famous, if they came to visit him during the day, Cao Cao would very likely notice.

Sima Fu coughed lightly, stared straight into Zhang Wang's eyes, and said slowly: "Reporting to uncle, my father and brother are preparing to find a chance to open the city gates, to welcome General Gongsun Xu's army into the city.

So it was this! Zhang Wang's expression did not change as he eagerly listened to this suggestion. Ever since Yuan Shao seized the Jizhou, he strongly supported the Yuan Family and his wife, the Liu Family's trusted aides. At the same time, he suppressed the local Wealthy Class in order to control the situation in the Jizhou as soon as possible. The Sima's and Zhang Clan were both oppressed, to the point that the famous "Sima Ba Da" could not be used by Yuan Shao, not to mention the infamous Zhang Wang Family. If they could help Gongsun Xu's army to enter the city, in terms of rewards, the Zhang family would definitely benefit a lot from it.

"Zhong Da is in charge of Cao Cao's preparation. If the Sima family wants to do this, it is as easy as flipping their palm. Why did they drag this old man along?" Although he had already agreed to this matter, Zhang Wang still acted as if he was puzzled and asked Sima Fu.

Sima Fu laughed: The Zhang family and the Sima family are like one another, how could my father forget about you uncle? Furthermore, General Gongsun Xu is an outsider, so after he takes charge of the Henei County in the future, he definitely does not want us to be of the same mind.

Just as Sima Fu had said, Gongsun Xu was not a local person in the Henei County. If he wanted to completely control the Henei County, he would have to rely on the local Wealthy Class, and as an external controller, Gongsun Xu definitely hoped to see the various large families of the Henei County fall into disarray, rather than getting into a situation that increases the difficulty of controlling them.

Sima Fu said softly, "Uncle is incomparably wise and farsighted, I believe you already understand what my father means, so I will not mention anything more about this matter. My father promised General Gongsun Xu that he could open the gates within three days.

Zhang Wang laughed indifferently: "Cao Cao is after all, an outsider, even with Gao Gang's help, wanting to control the entire city is impossible. We just need to secretly work with the other big families, with Zhong Da's help, we will definitely be able to welcome General Gongsun Xu's army into the city within three days! This old man thinks that the majority of the troops guarding the west side of the city are county soldier, so that place is the most suitable place. "

Sima Fu clapped his hands and chuckled: "My father also said the same thing, the vice general guarding the west gate, Zhang Feng, is uncle's nephew with my brother by his side.

Zhang Wang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said respectfully: "My dear nephew, I guarantee that Zhang Feng will listen to my orders, it's just that the one guarding the west gate is Gao Gang, the Gao brothers will definitely not betray Yuan Shao, they will definitely help Cao Cao Cao, if we want to proceed smoothly, Gao Tie will have to be dealt with!"

Sima Fu shook his head: "Uncle does not need to worry, my father has already decided on this matter, when the time comes, I guarantee that nothing bad will happen!"

"Since Brother Jian is prepared, this old man has nothing to worry about. Brother Jian is a meticulous man. Nothing bad will happen to him. " Zhang Wang laughed as he praised him, and probingly asked: "Nephew, Sima Clan's Tree is big, so how about I contact the other families?"

Opening the city gates to welcome Gongsun Xu's army into the city was something that was mainly done by the Sima's. Zhang Wang did not contribute much, which was why he took the initiative to do some things, so that he would not receive too little rewards in the future. If he did this, it would be like dividing the contribution from the Sima's. Although Sima Fu said it well, Zhang Wang was not sure if the Sima's would really give him a large amount of contribution, so he asked tentatively.

Uncle is right, my family is indeed easy to attract attention to, and since uncle is interested, I will hand the matter over to you, and in the future when you are in front of General Gongsun Xu, I will explain in detail how much you have contributed. " Sima Fu agreed without even thinking, and he even gave the Sima Clan's promise.

Zhang Wang was overjoyed, thanking them again and again, and praising Sima Fang and his son greatly.

Sima Fu sounded humble on the outside, but in his heart, he was somewhat disdainful towards Zhang Wang. He had already made it clear earlier that the Sima Clan, in order to not arouse Gongsun Xu's suspicion, would take the initiative to divide the profits from their contributions in the future. This Zhang Wang had a short eyes and actually did not believe what he had said.

At this time, Zhang Wang asked, "Nephew, who did General Gongsun Xu send to contact us last night?"

Sima Fu's face revealed an expression of admiration, and said with a sigh: "Uncle definitely won't believe that last night, General Gongsun Xu actually personally came to my house, and discussed things with my father and family brothers for a long time before quietly leaving."

"What?" "How is this possible!?" Zhang Wang was shocked, the city was already under martial law, the patrolling teams were not stopping, furthermore the city walls were high and large, how could Gongsun Xu infiltrate the city so easily?

"That's the truth!" Sima Fu laughed: "General Gongsun Xu is proficient in martial arts, how can it be difficult to obtain a mere city wall? Oh right, there's still one more thing. Does Uncle still remember that son of the Mo Sect, Mo Bingmei, who came to the Henei County to train a few years ago? "

"Of course!" Zhang Wang nodded his head, his face revealing a look of regret: "That woman's personality is cold, her entire body is filled with cold killing intent, and is extremely difficult to approach. If it wasn't for the fact that my daughter is very close to her, this old man wouldn't even dare to speak a few more words with her!"

Sima Fu sighed: "This nephew also has a very deep memory of Mo Niangzi, she is indeed a woman that is as cold as ice! Last night, she came together with General Gongsun Xu. "

"Oh?" Zhang Wang was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "The rumors say that the little lady Mo Bingmei has already become General Gongsun Xu's man, looks like it's true?"

Sima Fu smiled and did not answer, it was better to not talk about this kind of thing, he stood up and changed the topic: "Uncle, since everything has been said, this nephew will take his leave, so that my father and brother will not be worried about me at home."

Zhang Wang nodded his head, "That's good too. Be careful on the road! "

"I'll be taking my leave!" Sima Fu bowed, turned, and walked out of the study room.

Zhang Wang arrived at the door and watched Sima Fu's figure disappear in front of the gate. Just as he was about to return to his desk and think about which family he should look for later, he suddenly noticed a figure standing behind him under the light, and couldn't help but cry out in shock.

"I am Mo Bingmei, hush!"
