Outside Chenliu City, a man and a horse came slowly from the south.
They saw a thin middle-aged scribe sitting on the horse, slowly arriving at the south gate of Chenliu City.
"Mr.
Zhicai, you are back."
I saw a fat general on the city wall in the south of the city looking at the scribes below.
This fat general was Cao Cao's money-demanding general Cao Hong.
His face was full of joy and respect towards the scribes below. shouted.
This middle-aged scribe was Cao Cao's chief military strategist, and his status in Cao Cao's camp was very high.
Especially Xi Zhicai planned Cao Cao's army to deal with Yuan Shu's army in Kuangting, and defeated Yuan Shu's army with a small number and a large number. , removed the thorn in the side of Cao Cao's forces, Yuan Shu, and provided a stable environment for Cao Cao's forces.
Xi Zhicai came back all the way, looking like a poor scholar.
Bandits don't look down on poor scholars these days.
Only the most educated people in the world, especially scholars, are the least likely to become poor scholars.
The flesh in their eyes, because It was too much for the scholars to get the power from the delegators, but these scholars had no money.
It was irrational for the bandits to offend the authorities for such a worthless person, so Xi Zhicai returned to Chenliu safely along the way.
There are no twists and turns on the road.
"What happened in the city recently?"
Xi Zhicai watched the city gate open and followed Cao Hong all the way towards the city.
Looking at Cao Hong with a smile on his face, he coughed lightly and turned to Cao Hong with a look on his face.
He asked Cao Hong calmly.
Cao Hong thought for a moment, looked a little silent, showed an embarrassed smile, and said to Xi Zhicai in a somewhat disguised tone: "Military advisor, there have been no major events in Chenliucheng recently, and I don't have any difficult problems, big brother."
"General Cao Hong, you know that when you lie, your eyes will keep blinking and the corners of your mouth will keep shaking.
Don't hide it."
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times and looked at Cao Hong with a serious face.
Said normally.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhicai with some embarrassment and said hesitantly.
"You'd better tell me directly, don't hide anything, tell me everything clearly."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong's fearful look and said to Cao Hong in a heavier tone.
"Sir, how did you know that something happened?"
Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhi strangely and asked in confusion.
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong with a smile, coughed slightly, and pointed to a few larger houses on the street.
He saw that these houses were a bit luxurious, but the doors were closed, and they always felt lifeless.
Xi Zhicai pointed to those houses with a pale face, and said in a short breath: "These houses are inhabited by famous families in Yanzhou.
In normal times, these houses are full of people coming in and out, and they are lively.
Abnormal, but now it is so desolate.
If nothing happened, this would happen.
What else do you want to hide?"
Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhicai's sharp sword-like gaze, staring at him, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and said to Xi Zhicai in a cautious tone: "Brother said he couldn't tell me to sir, please forgive me for not telling this."
Let me tell you something, sir.
If you want to know, just ask your elder brother directly."
Xi Zhicai coughed and looked at Cao Hong.
Seeing that Cao Hong didn't speak, he smiled coldly, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and slowly handed it to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong looked at the silver in Xi Zhicai's hand, his eyes shone a little, and his face looked a little embarrassed as he looked at Xi Zhicai's sneering face.
He shrank his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, and slowly stretched out his arms with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
He looked at Xi Zhicai tremblingly and said, "Sir, I'm afraid this is not good.

I'm sorry, brother.
You'd better take it back."
"General, if you tell me some things, it may be helpful to my lord.
You'd better tell me.
I still have a pair of white jade from the former Han Dynasty in my house.
If the general likes it, then."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong's actions opposite him.
He looked at Cao Hong with a dull expression, showed a smile that showed success, and said tentatively to Cao Hong.
"White jade from the former Han Dynasty."
Cao Hong listened to what Xi Zhicai said, and his eyes began to glow with golden light.
He said with a trembling tone.
He watched as he stretched out his hand to snatch the silver from Xi Zhicai's hand, and quickly put it into his arms. , looked at Xi Zhicai with a smile on his face.
"Sir, if you know about it, you must not go to the eldest brother, and you must not tell the eldest brother about this matter."
When accepting money, you must give a certain amount of news of equal value.
He said to Xi Zhicai in a low tone. .
"Just say it."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong's cautious appearance, coughed a few times, and said to Cao Hong with a dull expression.
Cao Hong looked around secretly, then looked at the soldiers who were following him with a serious face, and said to the soldiers in a heavy tone: "Don't follow me anymore, go and guard the city gate."
I will chat with Mr.
Military Advisor for the rest of the day.
You can go ahead and leave me alone."
"It's the general."
The soldiers did not dare to disobey the general's order.
They clasped their fists and said to Cao Hong.
They quickly walked towards the city gate and went to inspect the city gate.
Seeing several personal guards going to inspect the city gate, Xi Zhicai looked calm.
Looking at the agitated Cao Hong, he coughed a few times and said breathlessly to Cao Hong: "There is no one left, General Zilian."
You'd better tell me what happened."
Cao Hong looked around and found that there was no one.
He quietly approached Xi Zhicai with a nervous expression, and whispered to Xi Zhicai with a serious face: "Military advisor, the thing is like this.
The famous scholar in Yanzhou dared to insult the elder brother while giving way. , and even said that the eldest brother was an eunuch, and said that how could the eldest brother be virtuous and become the lord of Yanzhou?
Only a virtuous person could become the lord of Yanzhou.
The eldest brother couldn't bear it and sent him to prison."
"What?"
Xi Zhicai listened to what Cao Hong said, looked at Cao Hong with a pale face, and said in a somewhat unbelievable tone.
"Sir, please keep your voice down."
Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhicai's look, quickly stared at him, and whispered to Xi Zhicai.
"I want to see my lord."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong with a serious face, and hurriedly rode towards Cao Cao's mansion.
"Sir, sir, no!"
Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhicai in panic and rushed towards Cao Cao's mansion.
He immediately looked at Xi Zhicai in panic, waved the riding whip in his hand and chased after Xi Zhicai with a very urgent look on his face. shouted to Xi Zhicai.
"My lord was too hasty in this matter of giving way.
If my lord doesn't do it well, I'm afraid there will really be chaos."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Hong who was chasing after him with a pale face, and said in a bad tone. .

"Isn't he just a rotten scholar over there?
Is it so important?
Sir, it's better not to go see the eldest brother."
After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Hong looked at the front with a very painful expression and chased after him.
If he had known better, he would not be so greedy for money.
If he had The eldest brother knows that he is probably going to be punished by the eldest brother.
He was punished by Cao Cao to write a military book.
I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this punishment.
I feel like crying without tears.
Rang here is a famous scholar in Yanzhou.
He has a certain status in Confucianism.
He is even as famous as Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai.
He once served as an aide to He Jin and the governor of Lujiang.
His family is very powerful in the entire Yanzhou, but for Cao Cao, Bian Rang looked down on Cao Cao a little, and even sneered at Cao Cao, always opposing Cao Cao.
"Sir, sir" Cao Hong looked at Xi Zhicai riding his horse desperately, even a general like himself could not catch up.
"Isn't this Zhicai?"
Suddenly an old-looking scribe walked out of Cao Cao's house.
He looked at Xi Zhicai who was riding over in a hurry and asked with a somewhat surprised expression.
I saw that this scribe was very tall, eight feet three inches in length, with a beautiful beard on his chest, gray hair, and a somewhat serious and arrogant face.
He was simply the scribe's version of Guan Yu, but with a white face.
"It turns out to be Mr.
Zhongde."
Xi Zhicai saluted the scribe and hurriedly walked out of Cao Cao's mansion.
It turned out that this counselor was Cheng Yu, one of the five counselors of Cao Wei.
He was one of Cao Cao's earliest counselors.
His original name was Cheng Li.
Later, he dreamed of Mount Tai holding the sun and changed his name to Cheng Yu.
"General Zilian" Cheng Yu looked at Xi Zhicai's anxious look and looked at Xi Zhicai's leaving figure with a strange expression.
Suddenly he saw Cao Hong rushing over, and his expression suddenly changed.
He didn't know what happened. shouted
