I caught a cold, and I almost forgot this feeling after not catching a cold for several years. This time, in order to make Chongjia remember it more deeply, his mind seemed to be filled with paste, confused and confused.

Lu Xun said:

"It's very simple, cooperate with us. Let's talk about what you see and hear here, and go back and report to the second son."

After Lu Xun finished speaking, the civil servant did not immediately express his agreement or refuse; instead, he fell into a short and fierce psychological struggle.

After all, no matter which side of the Second Legion or the Second Young Master is a member of the civil servant, the whole family will have to corpse on the streets.

However, the tent of the Central Army where he is currently is obviously not a place suitable for calming down and thinking. Especially the people standing around were all the Second Legion, including many civil servants and generals, who were looking at him with various eyes.

This made it impossible for civil servants to calm down.

After a brief thought, the civil servant decided to stabilize the Second Legion first. After all, I am now in the palm of the Second Legion. If I want to survive, I must first express my willingness to cooperate with the Second Legion.

It will not be too late to think carefully when you leave the territory of the Second Legion.

So, the civil servant raised his head and looked for Lu Xun, saying:

"The little one understands, the little one is willing to cooperate with your army, and all actions are subject to your army's assignment."

After hearing this, Lu Xun did not have any overjoyed expression on his face, but looked back at Wu Fan sitting in the main seat. Seeing Wu Fan closing his eyes and nodding slightly, Lu Xun turned around and said to the civil servant:

"Very good, next, you need to do this..."

He then explained the reasons for dealing with Cao Pi, and asked the civil servants to go back and talk to Cao Pi to listen.

The civil servant nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, responding repeatedly. After Lu Xun finished speaking, he looked back at Wu Fan. Seeing that Wu Fan had nothing else to explain, he asked the civil servant to leave the camp immediately and return to Yecheng as soon as possible to avoid delaying Sima Yi's suspicion.

The civil servants who worked in the civil service thanked him deeply and bowed to leave the central army's tent.

After only half a minute after he left, General Anxi Fourth-rank Ganning walked out of the train:

"Governor, I see this guy's eyes flashing, as if he has a strange intention. Now let him go, he will be very likely to betray us and tell Cao Pi the truth after returning to Yecheng in the future. If so, it would be better to kill him directly to eliminate this problem."

As soon as Gan Ning said something, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others all walked out of the train and asked Wu Fan in unison to chase and kill the civil servant.

From this point of view, we can see that most of the military generals under Wu Fan do not support the civil servants who are engaged in the survival. In other words, most of them do not understand Lu Xun's suggestions and believe that once the civil servants leave the military camp, what are the confidences they will continue to cooperate with us?

Wu Fan smiled, not saying anything. Zhou Yu walked out and said:

"Don't worry, listen to me. Suppose that after returning to Yecheng, civil servants betray us and take the initiative to confess everything to Ziheng; yes, then our plan seems to have failed. However, I wonder if you have ever thought that if that is the case, it can affect Ziheng in a deep sense, making him think that we do not want to really get into evil with him at the moment, resulting in no way out for each other. On the contrary, if we directly kill this civil servant, it means that our Second Legion has completely broken with him, and we can only meet with swords and guns in the future. Such a result is undoubtedly something that no one wants to see."

Zhou Yu paused for a moment and continued:

"This is the worst case. In fact, I think more than 80% of this civil servant may not confess to Cao Pi, but will truly cooperate with us. The reason is that the strength of our Second Legion is far greater than that of the First and Third Legions. The governor of the Third Legion General Xiahou Dun and the Governor are sworn brothers. If you know Ziheng's conspiracy, you will definitely not obey Ziheng. In this way, how can the First Legion bear the opponent of the Second Legion? The civil servant should understand that if you surrender to the Second Legion, you will be unable to escape death; but it is only possible to fail. If he continues to serve Ziheng, the final result will be undoubtedly dead, and there is no luck to tell."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu looked at everyone and said:

"One is likely to die, and the other is bound to die. The civil servants themselves should know how to choose."

This is a typical example of "onstanders are confused, and those involved are clear". Gan Ning and others are not very intelligent and lack the awareness of thinking from the perspective of others. Naturally, they cannot understand why civil servants who work in the civil service will continue to cooperate with the Second Legion after leaving the territory of the Second Legion.

After Zhou Yu's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, everyone's doubts were resolved. They bowed to Wu Fan in a shy manner, and then they all returned to the train.

Wu Fan still smiled at the generals and did not say anything about it.

As the head coach of the army, he commands millions of troops, and every comment he says has extraordinary significance for his subordinates. Therefore, when his subordinates make small mistakes, Wu Fan often chooses not to speak to avoid stressing his subordinates.

Since it has been decided to pacify the Southern Barbarians first and then return to the Central Plains. The next work is naturally to focus on attacking the Southern Barbarians. Wu Fan then issued an order, ordering Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Yu as the first route, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Cheng Pu, Guo Jia as the second route, Hua Xiong, Tai Shi Ci, Lu Meng and Lu Xun as the third route; each commanded 200,000 troops and prepared wood and stone in advance, and five days later, the construction of three city passes was started at 15 miles north of Yunnan City.

After the order was issued, the generals immediately took the order and made preparations first. Wu Fan ordered the soldiers to rush to Jianning City with his own written documents as fast as possible, and ordered Yuan Shao, Zhang Lu and Li Zhan to send no less than 200,000 troops to the main force of the army. At midnight, five days later, they must rush to the jungle ten miles north of Yunnan City to ambush the Southern Barbarians passing by here.

After the commander left, Wu Fan assigned some other instructions to the left-behind generals. At this time, guards came in outside the tent to report that Wenpin came to the army from Jianning to escort food and grass and was waiting outside the tent.

At present, the camp where the main force led by Wu Fan is about fifty miles north of Yunnan City. There are only two nearby cities, namely Jiaozhi and Jianning. Among them, Jiaozhi is far away from here, and all the military supplies such as food and grass are naturally provided by Jianning City, which is closest.

Wen Pin escorted grain and grass to the army, and needed the commander Wu Fan to sign before leaving. This is the rule in the army. Therefore, Wu Fan asked Wen Pin to come in and handed over the transfer of grain documents to himself. At the same time, the military's food and grass officer also handed over the checked accounts to Wu Fan. After reading them twice, Wu Fan signed the receipt document for Wen Pin.

Wen Pin had already defected to Wu Fan's tent when Wu Fan was still the prefect of Xuchang. He was one of Wu Fan's early generals. Correspondingly, he had a good relationship with Wu Fan. After taking the receipt document handed to him by the civil servant, Wen Pin talked to Wu Fan for a few words, but one of the messages made Wu Fan stunned-

Cai Yan took Cao Chong all the way and just arrived in Jianning a few days ago. After learning about Cao Cao's death, Cai Yan was very sad and eager to return to Yecheng as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Cao Chong was a little unacceptable and had a stomachache. Cai Yan had to stay in Jianning with Cao Chong for the time being, and waited for Cao Chong's condition to improve and then go back immediately.

When Wu Fan heard this news, he was a little stunned and said to himself:

"It's God's will."

This time it was Wen Pin's turn to be stunned - why did Cao Chong break his stomach? The governor applaud?

Could it be that the Governor and Xiao Cao Chong have any hidden revenge?

Before Wen Pin could figure out the reason, Wu Fan said to him urgently:

"Zhongye, I will order you to return to Jianning immediately and hand this letter to Kunyuan Li Zhan and Wu Fan's apprentice, so there must be no mistakes."

While talking, Wu Fan picked up a letter and sealed it. After the civil servants were sealed, he asked the civil servants to hand it over to Wenpin.

Seeing that Wu Fan was so urgent, Wen Pin did not dare to neglect it. After receiving the letter, he immediately said goodbye to Wu Fan and returned to Jianning City.

As for the letter Wu Fan wrote to Li Zhan, it was not long, but a few short sentences meant that Li Zhan would send more than a thousand elite soldiers to guard the inn and not allow any idle people to enter. Moreover, after Cao Chong recovered from illness, he immediately sent Cai Yan and Cao Chong to his military camp. Never let Cai Yan return to Yecheng, especially not to take Cao Chong back to Yecheng. Remember

As for how Li Zhan would need to explain how to bring Cai Yan and Cao Chong to Wu Fan’s military camp by then, Wu Fan had his own way. After Wen Pin left, Wu Fan wrote another letter detailing the reason why Cai Yan could not take Cao Chong back to Yecheng.

The most important point is that when Cao Cao was alive, he told his subordinates more than once that he wanted Cao Chong to inherit his position in the future a hundred years later.

This once again recreates history.

In history, Cao Cao loved the young and smart Cao Chong very much, and he also told his subordinates more than once that he wanted Cao Chong to be his heir. Unexpectedly, God was jealous of talent, and Cao Chong died at the age of thirteen. Cao Cao was extremely sad about this matter and said a famous saying to his several sons that is familiar to the world:

This is my misfortune, and your luck is my

From this sentence, we can see how much Cao Cao favored Cao Chong.

Now, the eldest brother Cao Cao has been in a military life, and his hegemony is about to be accomplished and he died unexpectedly. In addition to grief, Wu Fan naturally wants to fulfill his unfulfilled wish for his elder brother. Therefore, Wu Fan must protect Cao Chong so as not to be harmed by Cao Pi, who is eager to seize power after returning to Yecheng.

...

I will not say anything about the civil servants who left the military camp.

After riding his horse out of the camp, he quickly rushed all the way, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that Wu Fan would regret and send someone to chase him.

After riding a horse for a whole day, my bones were broken and I was already hundreds of miles away from Wu Fan’s military camp. Only then did the civil servant slow down.

Riding on the horse and working as a civil servant started a new round of psychological struggle - should we cooperate with the Second Corps, or confess to Cao Pi after going back?

After thinking about it, as Zhou Yu expected, civil servants felt that since one might die and the other would die, they would still be able to settle the account themselves, so they should naturally choose the party who might die.

Although doing this made the civil servant feel a little bit of a favor, he thought that Cao Pi was so unprotective and would have to stumbling against Wu Fan, the well-deserved hero of Cao Wei. He was just a chess piece in his hand, and he could be taken or given away at any time. It was extremely stupid to talk about loyalty and righteousness to such a ruthless and unrighteous person.

Good birds choose trees to live on. The second son, I'm sorry

After this, the civil servant finally made up his mind and urged his horse to look north again.

A month later, the civil servant returned to Yecheng and said to Cao Pi what Lu Xun told him.

Although Cao Pi felt very regretful after hearing this, it was common sense that Wu Fan could not come back for the time being in order to eliminate the Southern Barbarians. Moreover, he could not think of what to do next, so after nodding, Cao Pi waved his hand and asked the civil servants to retreat.

The civil servant who worked in the civil service handed over and left. As soon as he walked to the gate of the hall, he walked up from outside. It was Sima Yi.

Although Sima Yi is only twenty-one years old, he is extremely scheming and has a strong sense of observation, which is incompatible with his age.

When the civil servant saw Sima Yi, he was shocked for no reason. He quickly calmed down and bowed to Sima Yi, then turned around and left.

Sima Yi looked at the civil servant with expressionless face, without any movement. Until the civil servant had walked nearly a hundred meters away, he suddenly said behind him:

"Did you hand over the documents to Wu Fan?"

The civil servant trembled all over and stopped in place, turned around and bowed to Sima Yi first, then lowered his head and dared not look at Sima Yi, and replied:

"Return to the Chief Sima Yi, the Chief Sima Yi, the sixth rank, has handed over the documents to Governor Wu."

Sima Yi looked up and down at the civil servant and continued to ask:

"What did Wu Fan say?"

Engaged in civil servants:

"Governor Wu said that because he had been preparing to fight the Southern Barbarians for a long time, when he came back, he was afraid that the enemy and us would be in a variable way, causing our army to be defeated. Therefore, he decided to first conquer the Southern Barbarians and then lead all the generals and ministers back to the court to pay tribute to the spirit of the King of Wei in the sky."

Sima Yi frowned and listened to the civil servant's words. After stopping for a while, he stared at the civil servant's words and suddenly asked again:

"Why are you trembling when I called you just now?"

This sentence seemed like a bolt from the blue, causing a layer of cold sweat to flow down the face of the civil servant.

Taking advantage of the sunshine, Sima Yi obviously saw the sweat on the face of the civil servant, and his brows frowned a little deeper.

Fortunately, the civil servant reacted quickly enough, so he simply raised his arm and wiped the cold sweat on his face, giving Sima Yi a feeling that he didn't care that he had sweat on his face. Then he replied:

"Mr. Changshi, during this trip to Nanzhong, the road was bumpy and the water was not suitable for the land, and it was even worse. It caused a small illness, which caused a weak body and night sweats and dreams. If it was a little alarmed, it would be like a sieve."

After finishing his civil servants' speech, Sima Yi didn't say anything, but still stared at the civil servants' work. Just as the psychological defense line of the civil servants was about to collapse, Cao Pi in the hall saw Sima Yi and called him in. Sima Yi then moved his eyes away from the civil servants' work and turned around and walked into the hall.
