    "What? The traitor Tao Ying sent an envoy to visit? This traitor is really cunning! What excuse did you use?"

    "My lord, I used the excuse of sending medicine. Tao Ying asked the messenger to send some precious medicines on the pretext of being worried about your physical condition, and requested that they be presented to you at the customs. Cheng Yu answered respectfully, and then said: "Tao Ying  The lord must not be able to guess who the traitor's messenger is.  "

    "Who?" Boss Cao asked curiously.

    "Our old friend, the number one corrupt official under Tao Thief, and perhaps the richest man in the world now, Yang Hong and Yang Zhongming." Cheng Yu replied with a smile, and added: "And that common man Li Lang is also here, two  We rode two horses together and went to the outside of Hangu Pass to ask for an audience with the lord."

    "Yang Hong Yang Zhongming?" Boss Cao also laughed and coughed and said: "I never thought that the most corrupt official in the world would have such courage. He dared to spy on my life and death for the traitor Tao Ying. He would not be afraid of being chopped by us.  No chance to go back and enjoy his beautiful wife and concubine, and his wealth?"

    "Maybe he was forced to come here by Tao Ying again." Cheng Yu obviously didn't believe Yang Changshi's character, and said with a smile: "Tao Ying wanted to spy on your true situation, my lord, so he sent an ordinary envoy for fear of being caught.  We took the opportunity to set up illusions to deceive, and sent Jia Xu and Liu Ye, who were smart people, but were afraid of being killed or detained by us. After counting, Yang Hong was the most suitable. He is not too stupid and is familiar with the internal situation of our army. Even if we lose  Don¡¯t feel bad, it¡¯s perfect.¡±

    After laughing, Cheng Yu asked Boss Cao again: "My lord, after seeing Zhang Wenyuan's letter of false surrender, Tao Thief sent an envoy to deliver medicine. He was obviously doubting whether Zhang Liao was falsely surrendering, and also doubting whether my lord, you really died of illness suddenly. I'll wait for you."  How to deal with it?"

    Boss Cao coughed and pondered for a moment, and then said: "This question should be asked of you. If I really die suddenly, and you plan to secretly retreat to Tongguan, and the Tao thief sends an envoy to test the truth, how will you deal with it?"

    Cheng Yu and Guo Jia thought about it for a long time, and then Cheng Yu answered first: "If this happens, I will pretend that the lord is unwilling to receive the envoy, drive away the Tao thief's envoy, or detain the Tao thief's envoy, or execute him.  Let the traitor Tao Ying be unable to judge the true situation of our army."

    "Although doing this can make Tao Thief hesitate, it cannot make Tao Thief believe that I am really dead." Boss Cao muttered: "Our purpose this time is to make Tao Thief believe that I am really dead and lure him  Sending troops to attack Hangu Pass at night only made him hesitate, fearing that the traitor would not dare to take risks."

    "It's a pity that time was short and we didn't prepare a substitute for my lord." Guo Jia said regretfully: "Otherwise, if the lord's substitute came to meet Yang Hongpifu, and deliberately let Yang Hongpifu see through the lord that you were pretending to be someone else, Tao Ying would be a traitor.  Believing that the lord is dead, I came to attack him overnight."

    After hearing what Guo Jia said, Boss Cao also felt a little regretful, but for a while he really couldn't find a substitute with a similar figure and appearance to himself.  After Guo Jia sighed, he suggested: "Lord, let's do this. Just chop Yang Hong, a common man, so that the traitor Tao Ying cannot judge the situation of our army. In this way, even if the traitor Tao Ying refuses to fall into the trap,  , we can also avenge the hatred of Luoyang and the hatred of the emperor."

    ¡°If it had been before, Boss Cao, who hated Yang Changshi no less than Deputy Director Tao, might have agreed immediately, but this time Boss Cao was a little hesitant and hesitated and did not agree immediately.  At this time, Boss Cao's confidential secretary Sima Lang stood up, raised his hand to Boss Cao and said: "My lord, killing Yang Hong will relieve his hatred, but if Tao thief refuses to take risks because of his suspicion, it will be a waste of my lord's clever trick of cheating death."  . If the lord does not give up, Lang is willing to go out of seclusion to negotiate with Yang Hong and take the opportunity to create the illusion that the lord is dead."

    "How do you arrange it?" Boss Cao asked hurriedly.

    "I want to put on a filial piety dress and a long gown first, and deliberately let Yang Hong see some flaws." Sima Lang replied calmly: "While talking with Yang Hong, my eyes were red and swollen on purpose, and my voice was choked, which made Yang Hong  I believe that my lord is truly dead."

    Boss Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it. Anyway, even if the traitor Tao Ying believes that I am really dead, he will definitely not lead his troops to take risks in person. He will only sneak in with one army."  , the first level of coordination, you go and set up this illusion. If it succeeds, at least the Tao thieves can send more front troops to ambush our army."

    Sima Lang sang the promise and immediately changed into the mourning clothes found by Cao Jun's guards, and covered himself with a long gown in the hot weather. He then wiped his eyes with a piece of ginger, deliberately making them red and swollen, and then went out.  Go outside the customs to negotiate with Yang Changshi.  Because Sima Lang had always been hostile to Deputy Director Tao, Boss Cao did not send anyone to monitor him, and allowed Sima Lang to ride out of the gate alone to continue defrauding his unworthy son-in-law.

    At the same time, outside Hangu Pass, Yang Changshi and Li Lang, the unscrupulous master and servant, were also trembling becauseOver their heads, there were thousands of crossbows aimed at them, and behind them, there were dozens of Cao army scouts watching, but there was not even a protecting Xuzhou soldier beside them.  None. It can be said that as long as Cao Jun gives an order, Yang Changshi and Li Lang, the unscrupulous masters and servants, will have to end their deception and abduction journey forever.  In fear, Yang Changshi couldn't help but quietly scolded his precious son for his bad idea, forcing himself to tie his head to his belt to take risks here.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the tightly closed Hangu Pass gate finally opened a narrow gap. A frail man in his early thirties walked out of the pass, went to Yang Changshi, bowed his hands in front of him, and lowered his voice and said: "  Mr. Zhongming, do you know how risky you are this time? If the thief Cao hadn't hesitated a little and gave me the opportunity to come up with a plan in time, Guo Jiadu would have already come up with a plan to behead you in front of the prison."

    "What's next?" Yang Changshi was a little surprised.

    "Keep your voice down." Sima Lang reminded in a low voice, and then said loudly: "My surname is Sima, my single name is Lang, and my last name is Boda. I am the boss of my lord's account. My lord is busy with military affairs. He has no time to see you, and he is too lazy to accept Tao's thieves.  It¡¯s hypocritical, you can go and take your gift with you.¡±

    "Are you Sima Lang? No wonder you look familiar to me." Yang Changshi was overjoyed and said in a low voice: "My dog ??really got you right. When you heard that I was coming, you really tried your best to come out to see me."

    "Sir, please forgive me. Originally, I also brought a reliable messenger." Sima Lang said in a low voice: "But the thief Cao is extremely treacherous. Without other warrants, no one is allowed to leave the border, so there is no way to contact the Taiwei."

    "Master Sima Bo, my lord also has good intentions. Please report to Meng Degong again and ask him to see me. I have something important to report to him." Yang Changshi said loudly to the closed Cao soldiers, and then  He quickly asked in a low voice: "How is it? Is Thief Cao really dead?"

    "Of course he is not dead. Zhang Liao also pretended to surrender on the orders of Cao Cao." Sima Lang replied in a low voice: "Tonight, Cao Cao will set up an ambush on the mountains on both sides of the valley. When your army enters the valley, they will push down the rolling stones and fall from their horses.  Block the valley path, and then wipe out all your troops entering the valley."

    "Thank you." Yang Changshi was overjoyed and hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, Boda, I will definitely ask the lord for your merits when I go back. After defeating the Cao Cao, the lord will reward you based on your merits, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

    "I don't want to accept the reward, I just want revenge." Sima Lang whispered humbly, and then said in a low voice: "Please report back to Taiwei Tao, saying that although Cao Cao is seriously ill, he will not die for a while, so don't take any chances.  , he is still planning to find ways to anger the Taiwei, induce the Taiwei to attack the key points by force, and get into a tough battle. Also, this thief is treacherous and monopolistic, and military affairs, big and small, must be personally reviewed, and those with more than 20 sticks in the army must be personally seen.  Since then, every general has his own spy who is secretly monitoring him. If the Taiwei wants to bribe or contact the generals under Cao Cao¡¯s command, he must be careful about being noticed by Cao Cao¡¯s spy.¡±

    Yang Changshi thanked him in a low voice, kept Sima Lang's words in mind, and then said a few pretentious words to Sima Lang loudly, and hurriedly said goodbye and left. Sima Lang also returned to Guanzhong to give orders to Boss Cao.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Okay, now let¡¯s take a look at the situation when our Yang Changshi returned to the camp and handed over the order. Because Sima Lang did not send an order for Boss Cao to have Yang Changshi beheaded, so Yang Changshi walked out ten miles smoothly.  However, after arriving at the open area, Yang Changshi and Li Lang encountered a group of heavily armed Xuzhou troops. Then this Xuzhou army was unambiguous and immediately captured Yang Changshi and Li Lang.  After getting off the horse, he was tied up with ropes three times and two times. Yang Changshi, who fought hard for his own team, did not even have the courage to complain. He followed the Xuzhou army back to the camp honestly and was escorted straight into the camp.  Deputy Director Tao's Chinese army account.

    Yang Changshi's precious son Yang Zheng was also in the tent at the moment, and was kneeling obediently in front of Deputy Director Tao. Jia Lao Duhu, Liu Ye and others were sitting on both sides with strange faces. They saw that Yang Changshi and Li Lang were safe and sound.  After returning, Deputy Director Tao, who was sitting in the middle with a straight face, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted with a long face: "Yang Hong, do you know your guilt?"

    "Wei Chen is aware of his crime." Yang Changshi was happy and knelt down and admitted honestly: "Wei Chen not only failed to stop Quan Zi's misbehavior, but also asked Wang Wu and Chen Er to tie up Quan Zi. He went out of the camp without permission, pretending to be  I have received orders from my lord to contact Cao Cao."

    "Just plead guilty!" Deputy Director Tao slapped the case in front of him and roared: "How dangerous is it to risk contacting our internal agents? If you are not careful, not only the messenger's life will be in danger, but our internal agents will also be in danger.  You will die! I have rejected your son's suggestion, but you and your son dare to rely on my favor to go out of the camp privately to contact our internal agents. This is intolerable, but it is intolerable. Don't think that I will take it lightly this time.  Spare you father and son!"

    "Lord"??Quanzi also acted in disobedience of your orders to prevent our soldiers from suffering losses. He is loyal to you.  "Yang Changshi quickly cried out for his son, and then kowtowed and said: "My lord, all the blame for the crime belongs to me alone, and has nothing to do with the minister's dog. If there is any guilt, I will bear it alone. Why don't you ask me to rule the lord out of justice?"  Be merciful and spare the humble minister's dog.  "

    After saying that, Yang Changshi kowtowed repeatedly. Yang Zheng over there was anxious and kowtowed quickly and said: "My lord, it is none of my father's business. It is a humble minister who disobeyed your military order and took the risk to contact the internal affairs department. Father, he is  I didn¡¯t want my son Wei Chen to take risks, and I also wanted to give Wei Chen a chance to make meritorious deeds, so I risked my life to negotiate with the enemy and risk contact with our military personnel. Everything was Wei Chen¡¯s fault alone and had nothing to do with his father.  , I also ask my lord to investigate clearly and spare my father, I am willing to take full responsibility."

    Saying that, Yang Changshi and Yang Zheng, father and son, kowtowed desperately, scrambling to take full responsibility and exonerate each other. During the fight, Yang Changshi burst into tears, sobbing and making a pitiful appearance. Next to him, Yang Changshi  Jia Laodu, who had a good relationship with Chang Shi, smiled and did not move, and did not plead for Yang Changshi and his son - because Jia Laodu knew very well that Deputy Director Tao would never kill his friend and leader because of this.

    "Get up!" Sure enough, Deputy Director Tao roared quickly and yelled at Yang Changshi: "You bastard! You make things difficult for me all the time. I can't bear to kill you. If you don't kill you, it will be difficult to enforce military law!"  You and your son will be demoted to the third level together, but your original posts will be retained! If you do it again next time, you will be punished for both crimes!"

    Yang Changshi stopped crying, kowtowed with a smile and said: "Thank you, my lord, for not killing me. I know that my lord will understand the loyalty of Weichen and his son, and will not kill him. My lord is right."  The kindness between Wei Chen and his son is higher than the sky, thicker than the earth, and deeper than the sea"

    "Come on! Shut up!" Deputy Director Tao roared again: "This matter is not allowed to be publicized. You father and son always do things without permission, and I still can't bear to kill you. If everyone is like you, I will  Are you still the lord?!"

    Yang Changshi shut his mouth obediently and stood up with the help of his son and Li Lang. He looked at the seat next to him and tried to sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down. He pretended to be pitiful. Deputy Director Tao was angry and funny.  , then roared: "Sit down if you want, tell me, what will be the result if you go to contact Cao Cao privately?"

    Hearing Deputy Director Tao ask about what he gained from his trip, Yang Changshi, who had been crying and pretending to be pitiful just now, suddenly became very happy and quickly introduced the details of his trip to contact Cao Jun. Naturally, during this period, he had to face  He boasted the danger a hundred times more seriously, and painted an extremely tall image of himself as being fearless in the face of danger and calm in all situations. He secretly concealed the scandal that he almost peed his pants when he was surrounded by Cao Jun's patrol. Finally, he revealed that he was just as his son expected, and his relationship with Sima Lang went smoothly.  The incident was reported to Deputy Director Tao.

    "Sure enough, he is cheating his death." Deputy Director Tao snorted coldly, and then asked quickly: "Wait a minute, you just said that Sima Lang introduced to you that matters in Cao's army must be done by him with a staff of twenty or more.  Cao Cao saw it in person? Did you remember this correctly? "

    "Weichen definitely remembers correctly." Yang Changshi replied.

    "It's strange, Cao Cao is not such an authoritarian person?" Deputy Director Tao was a little suspicious.

    "Lord, this should be true." Liu Ye next to him interjected: "Ye is responsible for intelligence collection. Some intelligence did mention that Cao Cao has become more and more authoritarian in recent years. It seems that Cao Cao's talents are declining day by day, and he has no choice but to do so.  For this reason. This time Cao Cao personally brought the main force to fight our army, leaving Cao Hong in Chang'an and Cao Ren in Tongguan. There is no general with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army. There is no general named Cao or a member of the Xiahou family.  Even my most trusted brother-in-law, Ren Jun, was sent to Jiguan. There is no clan confidant left or right, so Cao Cao took over the power just to be safe."

    Deputy Director Tao thought about it carefully and found that it was true. Boss Cao did not have many talents now. Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were both counselors and could not lead the army. Dian Wei, who was absolutely reliable, had to protect Boss Cao. Zhang He and Zhang Liao were both  They were surrendered generals, and almost all of their old companions were still on their side. With Boss Cao's suspicious character, he would not dare to be completely reassured that it was indeed reasonable to take over power, and he would definitely do the same if it were him.  After discovering this and thinking of Boss Cao's illness, Deputy Director Tao couldn't help but have this idea, "Is there any way to exhaust this traitor Cao Aha to death?!"

    "My lord, now that we have confirmed that Zhang Liao only feigned surrender, it will be easier for us to plan our tactics." Jia Laodu also said: "But before that, Xu would like to remind my lord that our army's tactical strategy is best based on  On the basis of clearing Brother Ayi's suspicion, we can prevent Cao Mengde from suspecting that Brother Ayi leaked the secret when negotiating with Mr. Zhongming, and keeping Brother Ayi safe will be of great use to us in the future."
