On the far mountain, Sima Yi and Guo Jia rode a horse and watched the spectacular scene of the King's defeat of Li Jue and Guo Si. The light of the torch reflected their faces red. Listening to the soldiers break through the long-lasting depression, shouting loudly, "We are victorious!", "Long live Your Majesty!"

Guo Jia put away the reins and turned his horse's head to leave. Sima Yi asked with a side face: "Where are you going?"

"The strategy has been successful. Do you want me to go to the emperor to seek merit and reward?"

"Ha, your words will always make people feel uncomfortable."

Sima Yi also put away the reins and gently patted the horse's side abdomen with his feet. The two of them walked back one after another. Before taking two steps, Sima Yi finally turned around and looked at the big tent where his father and Liu Xie were, and followed Guo Jia with inexplicable melancholy.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that shortly after Zhang He let go Guo Jia, he received a message from Bai Ge and learned about Liu Xie's crisis. Without having time to think too much at that time, the two of them thought of the plan to go to Hedong to bring reinforcements, so they went to Bai Bojun and the Tui station to conduct persuasion work. Although the result was as expected, who conveyed the news to him?

Guo Jia did not look back at Sima Yi's deep eyes, but guessed his doubts and said with a smile:

"Do you still remember Xi Zhicai who explained the difficult things in bamboo slips to you in Muye?"

When Sima Yi's pupils suddenly dilated when he heard the name Xi Zhicai. He quickly drove his horse and walked side by side with Guo Jia:

"You actually know about the bamboo slips? Is it the message he conveyed to you?"

Guo Jia nodded, and Sima Yi realized that everything was Cao Cao's sign. During this period, Cao Cao had just pacified Yanzhou. He wanted to prevent Tao Qian from taking advantage of the situation and Yuan Shao from the north from staring at him. He did not have enough strength to fight against Li Jue and Guo Si's troops. In addition, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai and other strategists all had no time to leave Cao Cao in order to stabilize Yanzhou, which had just stopped the war. This was why Xi Zhicai made plans. Xi Zhicai planned to let two ignorant boys show their strength when Liu Xie was besieged by Cao Yang. This was also the most direct test method for Xi Zhicai to test whether they had the ability to assist the wise king.

The news that Emperor Xian defeated Li Jue and Guo Si reached a certain place. Someone sitting in front of the hall looked at the report document in his hand, and several others sat opposite him.

At first, their expressions were always very calm. A young general who was right in front of Yuexinren knelt on one knee and did not dare to look up.

The seemingly gentle and gentle man stood up slowly, and the report-written silk in his hand fell to his right foot. A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face: "It seems that our emperor, His Majesty, should not be defeated, and he can escape from heaven in this way."

My general who knelt down said, "Li Jue and Guo Si had already raised their troops as soon as possible after receiving the letter from the lord, but for some reason, the Southern Xiongnu, who had never had any contact with the emperor, actually sent troops across the Yellow River and penetrated directly into the rear of Li Jue Jue and Guo Si, causing them to be surrounded."

Yuexinren walked down the steps and could look at him when passing by the man sitting on the pudding pad. The man closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and then sat down and began to think calmly: "It is impossible for the minds of the Baibo army and the Xiongnu people to have such a sense of overall situation and justice. Who was behind the scenes and advice for the little emperor and the others?"

The general said again: "According to the report of our secret spies in Cao's army, it was said that it was the plan of Xi Zhicai, the chief adviser under Cao Cao, who sent people to Li Le to go to the humble place to lobby, which prompted them to send troops to serve the king."

"Xi Zhicai? He can even easily destroy the plans you designated by him. This person is not simple."

Yue Xinren stretched out his fingers and pinched his earlobes that were different from ordinary people, raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the man sitting on the pudding pad and smiled: "It seems that Cao Cao is a big obstacle to your ambition, you have to get rid of him."

The general said: "According to reliable information, one of the people who went to persuade him was Guo Jia, a person from Yingchuan, and the other one was Sima Yi, a person from Hanoi."

When he heard Sima Yi's name, the face of the man sitting above the pudding pad changed significantly. At this moment, Yue Xinren also captured the surprise on his expression, and deliberately pretended not to see it regardless of Yue Xinren.

He walked to the back of the man sitting on the puff pad, pressed his shoulder with his hands and whispered in his ear:

"It depends on your means, Your Highness."

The Highness stood up and gently shook the hands that the person who was lying on his shoulders, and said coldly:

"It is indeed a pity for such a dangerous person to be our enemy, but since you are an enemy, you don't need to show mercy to him. I need the person you hide under Cao Cao's tent to help me eradicate Xi Zhicai."

After saying that, he walked towards the gate, and the Yuexinren bent down respectfully at his back and bowed:

"As for your order, Your Highness."

After a while, a general with a long beard came in outside. He clasped his fists and said, "Lord, as you expected, his soldiers and horses appeared outside the city. He said he was desperate and was willing to hand over all the soldiers to you."

After hearing this sentence, a strange arc grinned from the corner of the man's mouth.

The news of Emperor Xian's rescue also reached Puyang. At this time, Cao Cao was instructing the memorials sent by various counties. Xi Zhicai was accompanying him. After listening to the spy's report, Cao Cao put down the review pen, without showing much joy, and his expression was quite serious. He looked ahead and seemed to be talking to himself: "Do you think this is safe?"

Xi Zhicai heard Cao Cao's words and looked up at him: "Lord."

Cao Cao then walked out of his lost state and said with a smile: "I mean, it seems that the emperor has enough troops to guard him, but is that OK? I always have a bad premonition."

"The lord is very worried. Although His Majesty has Dong Cheng and Fu Wan guards, both Yang Feng, Bai Bo army and the Southern Xiongnu are not well aware of military tactics. There is a high possibility of being careless after this victory. If Li Jue and Guo Si suddenly launch an attack, the outcome will be unknown."

Xi Zhicai's words hit Cao Cao's concern. He immediately recruited soldiers and handed him the documents he had already drafted:

"This letter is a secret letter to General Cheqi Dong Cheng, and you must hand it to him in person."

The soldiers took the letter and retreated. As soon as they walked to the door, Cao Cao stopped him:

"Wait a minute, it's immediately reported that General Xiahou Yuan will come to see me!"

The soldier was ordered to retreat, and when he was about to reach the door, a burly general walked in. He looked at the soldiers and the letters in his hand, and without saying anything, he walked straight to Cao Cao, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said:

"Report to the lord, Zhang Chao has been surrounded by me in Yongqiu, and I can just wait for the lord to be annihilated at any time."

Cao Cao put away the bamboo slips on the shore, looked at the kneeling general, and said, "Wenze, Zhang Chao once supported me in the past. His brother Zhang Miao has now joined Liu Bei with Lu Bu, and left his wife, children and young people in Yongqiu. If I treat his family well, Liu Bei will be suspicious of Zhang Miao. The more they fight in the internal struggle, the more beneficial it will be for us to seize Xuzhou in the future."

After listening, Yu Jin nodded and said, "I will understand!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Yu Jin after he stepped down and was about to say something to Cao Cao, but an urgent report came from outside:

"Report to the lord! The Sizhou urgently reported that Li Jue and Guo Sixing's army was 50,000, and were preparing to seize the Holy Driving again!"
