Then Cao Jie also saluted.

"No." Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, so there is no need to show courtesy to them.It's okay to be more arrogant than ordinary people.

"Thank you, Uncle." Cao Ang stepped forward quickly, looked at the wine jugs on the table, and said with a smile, "Uncle, would you mind if my nephew had a drink together?"

Cao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and made a casual gesture.

Cao Ang sat on one side, and Cao Jie sat in the lower position.

"Uncle, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, don't take it too seriously." After hesitating for a while, Cao Ang advised.

Cao Ren cast a glance at him, then picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "You don't understand, this time I was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, but I insisted on going my own way, which led to the current fiasco. Alas, I am ashamed of my lord."

Cao Jie interjected: "Yuan Xi is cunning, big brother, my father has been defeated by him, I hope my uncle will recover soon, don't judge a hero by success or failure."

Cao Ren's heart warmed slightly, he looked at his brother and sister and said: "You two are so late, you should be here for something?"

Cao Ang's expression lifted, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle, my nephew has a plan, maybe I can recover a little loss."

Cao Ren's eyes were strange, and he rolled his eyes at Cao Jie, who was drinking tea, with a faint smile on his face, "Oh, tell me, what is the best way?"

Cao Ang apologized and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take a good strategy, but it is also a good thing to set back Yuan Jun's arrogance."

After saying the secret words a few times, Cao Ren thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, how about me and your ten thousand soldiers?"

Cao Ang was taken aback, and said, "One thousand is enough. Ten thousand is too much noise, hehe."

Cao Jie frowned slightly, then lowered his head to drink tea again.

Cao Ang took the order to leave, but Cao Jie did not leave.

Cao Ren looked at his niece, who had been extremely smart since she was a child, with a gentle expression, and said with a smile, "Isn't niece going back to rest so late?"

Cao Jie hurriedly got up and saluted, "My niece is not sleepy, I have something to say to my uncle."

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Tell me, I watched you grow up, you must have some questions in your mind that you must ask?"

Cao Jie smiled and said: "Uncle can't hide anything, and my niece has some doubts in her heart."

After a pause, she went on to say: "Today, what uncle put out is the eight-door golden lock formation."

Cao Ren was shocked, and said with surprise on his face, "You also understand this formation?"

Cao Jie hurriedly said: "I don't understand, I just saw it before, I saw it today... So, this formation is really a golden lock formation?"

Cao Ren's eyes were full of admiration, he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "You know this battle at such a young age, you should be well-informed, it's really not easy."

"Uncle won the award, and my niece has heard about it, but I don't know much about it."

Cao Ren shook his head and sighed: "If you can hear a thing or two, you can know this formation today. You are already much better than me. I think it took me a long time to get a clue when I was studying. You haven't entered the hall, otherwise, why would Yuan Xi be able to break my formation today?"

Cao Jie asked in surprise, "Is it true that Yuan Xi broke the formation?"

Cao Ren smiled wryly and said: "I see it clearly, that is, he broke the formation." Cao Ren was drinking alone today, that's why Yuan Xi was so young, he could break the formation on the spot, which made him full of frustration .

Cao Jie hesitated and said: "Uncle, I heard that this formation is mysterious and complicated, and its power is huge, and it is not easy to break. So Yuan Xi is really so powerful?"

Cao Ren laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "Our uncle and niece have some things to say, don't worry, I know what you mean, the eight-door golden lock formation is flawed, and Yuan Xi happened to find my formation correctly. This led to the fiasco. Hey, Yuan Xianyi is indeed superior, which is admirable. I am not afraid of my niece's jokes, and I am convinced that I lost this battle. His attainments in this formation are far better than mine."

If he knew that Yuan Xi didn't know anything about it, he didn't know how to feel about it.

Cao Jie hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Uncle, what is the shortcoming of the previous formation?"

Cao Ren took a deep look at Cao Jie, and then said: "Although my eight gates are arranged neatly, it's just that there is no one in the middle. If you hit someone from the upper gate at the southeast corner, and go out to the Jingmen gate at the west, the formation Chaos is bound to happen. Yuan Xi took a fancy to this point and led his troops to charge into the formation with his general Xu Chu, but unfortunately I can only watch them charge without being able to stop them."

"If Le Jin stops Xu Chu, will he win?"

"There is a little hope, but this is actually not the main reason. The main reason is that I am not familiar enough with the formation. When I meet someone who really understands the formation, there is nothing I can do."

Cao Jie smiled slightly, and said softly: "I think that Yuan Xi may not really understand this formation, and it is not impossible to make a mistake."

Chapter 837 Assassination

Cao Ren was stunned and said, "How can you see that?"

Cao Jie pondered, and then said: "Before he broke the formation, he sent people to attack, obviously he fell into his uncle's trick. If he knew the strength of this formation before, how could he force his men to charge into the formation? Such a loss is obviously not Yuan Xi's strategy to lure the enemy."

Cao Ren also became puzzled, Cao Jie was right, Yuan Xi's behavior before and after was really difficult to explain.But if it is said that Yuan Xi doesn't understand the formation, how should he explain the way he rushed to the formation afterwards?Obviously, it is not possible to disrupt his formation with a random impact.

Cao Jie said in a low voice: "So I suspect that there is an expert around him who told him the mystery and flaws of this formation, which made him break the formation later."

Cao Ren denied her guess, "I have been paying attention to his movements, Yuan Xi has been observing the formation, and soon began to send troops to break the formation, and there is no one around to talk to him for a long time."

Although Cao Jie was not convinced, seeing that Cao Ren believed that it was Yuan Xi who broke the formation, she could only agree. She smiled and took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Brother should be back soon. No accidents, we will meet tonight." Let Yuan Xi suffer a loss. Dismiss some face."

Cao Ren was noncommittal, but looked at Cao Jie with some pity and regret...

Yuan Xi hugged Zhen Tuo and said, the pair of stunning sisters were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.In a daze, he still didn't wake up until the guards shouted from outside.Yuan Xicai woke up with the two girls in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xi got up quickly, kissed his concubine on the face, motioned them to continue sleeping, and asked aloud when he walked to the front tent.

"My lord, Cao Jun's sneak attack has set our tent on fire."

"Is it on fire?" Yuan Xi hurriedly opened the curtain, and sure enough, there was a sea of ​​fire outside. The soldiers panicked, those who put out the fire and those who ran away were in great confusion.

Yuan Xi was furious and shouted: "What is the chaos? The enemy set fire to it, but they didn't attack, so you started a mess yourself? Is the Youzhou army so virtuous? I want to see whose subordinates you are."

He turned his head to Dian Wei and Xu Chu and said, "You two will lead two hundred guards each, go out and check the situation."

With his nearly 20 troops here, he didn't believe that he would be defeated by the night attack.

After the two of them left, Yuan Xi said again: "Yuan Xiang, you hold up the handsome flag, stand here, and give them half a stick of incense time, and whoever is panicking at that time, I will kill on the spot, no matter who it is."

"Here!" Yuan Xiang shouted loudly holding up the handsome flag.

"A bunch of trash,"

Annoyed, Yuan Xi turned around and entered the big tent behind him. He usually looked at a person who looked like a dog, but when he encountered something, he panicked and lost his mind. He was also very dissatisfied with his soldiers.

"Husband, what's going on outside?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Xi took a deep breath, and said calmly, "It's because the Wei Army sent some people to attack at night, and it caused such a big commotion."

"Night attack?" Zhen Tuo revealed his small head from under the quilt, "Isn't that a serious matter?"

"It's serious about your size." Yuan Xi sat on the bed, slapped her on the head, undressed herself and said, "The most 5 people in the city can fight, and it's night again, he If he dares to send 5000 people, I will count him as one, but we are stationed here with dozens of times as many troops, and we are not impromptu stragglers, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhen Tuo stuck out his powder-tongue, took a thin gauze dress from the side, blushed and put it on, "Husband, are you still going out?"
