The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.

The icy cold wind whizzed past, and the city of Hangu Pass was covered with silvery white, like crystal clear cream. This was the frost that fell last night.

For the wild mountains and rivers where the snow has not disappeared, this is truly worse, and it is getting colder and colder.

Inside the closed city gate, Guo Jia, who stayed up all night, personally sent Cheng Yu out of the gate, accompanied by Jia Xu and two hundred personal guards.

"Mr. Wen He, can you please let me meet the captured generals of our army before I leave, at least let me confirm that they are still alive."

When approaching the city gate, Cheng Yu led the horse and stopped. When Jia Xu stepped forward, he whispered earnestly.

Jia Xu's expression was slightly startled when he heard the sound, and then he squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Jia with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

When he saw Guo Jia's clear eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Jia Xu immediately understood, knowing that Guo Jia did not reveal the current situation of Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and others, Cheng Yu's real intention of saying this was to get from him, Jia Xu. Li Tao asked Cao Hong and others about their lives.

"Zhong De is serious. It's just that it's really inconvenient right now. It's not that Jia won't let you see it, but that all the prisoners of war captured by our army are being held in the Tongguan camp, not in Hangu Pass. But Zhongde can rest assured. Our army has always treated prisoners of war kindly, and there has never been any incident of torture of prisoners of war to death."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cheng Yu's expression suddenly changed, his heart tightened, and inexplicable doubts arose.

The reason why he spoke probing just now.He just wanted to confirm the life and death of Cao Hong and the others. In fact, he had long believed in his heart that Li Li would not do anything to the captured Cao Hong and the others for the time being.But at this moment, seeing Jia Xu smiling, and answering so simply.On the contrary, Cheng Yu doubted whether the six main generals including Cao Hong and Yu Jin were still alive. Maybe they were executed by Li Li after they were captured.Because, if the Xiliang generals fell into Cao Cao's hands, he would have been dead for a long time.To judge others by oneself, think about it in another way, now that general Cao Jun is in Li Li's hands, how can he survive?

The reason why Cheng Yu thought that Li Li would not execute Cao Hong and others.It is based on his understanding of Li Li's behavior style and tolerance, and the conclusion drawn after a comprehensive analysis.

But now facing the smiling Jia Xu, Cheng Yu suddenly felt that his previous analysis was wrong.Lily has always been very tolerant of those who have no strength to resist.Even the enemy would not torture or abuse him; but Li Li was the commander of the first army after all, and he would not put his mind on the captives at all, so he would definitely hand over the captives to his subordinates.

And this is what Cheng Yu is most worried about.Because all the prisoners of war captured by the Xiliang Army are currently in Jia Xu's hands.For Jia Xu, the left army division of the Xiliang Army who laughed at everyone.Cheng Yu was a little apprehensive when he saw him for the first time, and he was sure that this person was a kind-hearted, vicious person. tortured to death by him.

"Mr. Wen He, don't lie to me. Please tell me the truth. Is the captured general of our army dead?"

Jia Xu smiled indifferently: "Zhongde is too worried. My lord's reputation of benevolence and righteousness has already spread all over the world, but any enemy who has no resistance. My lord, he will not kill casually. In other words, my lord doesn't bother to kill prisoners of war. If you want to kill him, you will not capture him alive, so as not to waste food. Usually, for some heinous people or stubborn enemy generals, we usually have our subordinates to do it for you. Uh Zhongde, don’t get me wrong , the stubborn enemy general that Jia mentioned does not include your generals. Hehehe!"

"Mr. Wen He's implication is that all the captured generals of our army have surrendered. How is this possible?" Cheng Yu exclaimed in a daze.

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "Zhongde must know that the generals under Cao Cao tried to harm my lord many times, so even if they are willing to surrender, we dare not accept them without the lord's consent. So hehehe, they are all fine now, Zhong De Don't worry!"

Listening to Jia Xu's explanation, who can rest assured, who would not have thought that something happened to Cao Hong and the others, or they had been dead for a long time.

Immediately, Cheng Yu's expression changed drastically, and his face instantly turned pale. He looked at the smiling Jia Xu in disbelief, opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say, what to say.

"Are they all dead? What should I do? If my lord Cao Cao knows that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen are all dead, then what's the use of the covenant we agreed on last night?" Cheng Yu said to Jia Xu with a sense of loss.

"Uh! It's not all dead, there are two more." Jia Xu hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth.

"Two?" Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard the words, and asked anxiously, "Who are these two?"

"Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu." Jia Xu said the three names without repeating the details.

"Cao Hong, Cao Anmin and Yu Jin are all dead, how did they die?" Cheng Yu asked without thinking.

As soon as this remark came out, Guo Jia's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly gave Cheng Yu a wink, but Cheng Yu didn't see it, and was still staring at Jia Xu for questioning.

Under Cheng Yu's inquisitive questioning, the smile on Jia Xu's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a calm face, with deep and obscure eyes, giving people a sense of unfathomable.Anyone who is familiar with Jia Xu can see that he is already angry at this moment, the calmer his face is, the more restless he is in his heart, and once he gets angry, the consequences will be serious.

"Cao Hong, Cao Anmin, and Yu Jin were seriously injured. They were on the verge of death when they were treated after the war. They died of serious injuries that night. In addition, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were also seriously injured. Now their injuries are getting worse. It may take half a year or less. Then you will definitely die in three months!"

Just as Jia Xu finished speaking, Cheng Yuyi said angrily, "Why didn't you save Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu? Don't you want to see death instead of saving them?"

"No one pays, and no one provides us with food. Why save them? Until now, they have not starved to death or been killed. We are already very kind. Do you want us to save our enemies? Why? I really don’t know why you would ask such a stupid question, do you think we are as naive as you?” Jia Xu snapped harshly.

"You Jia Wenhe. You're ruthless!" Cheng Yu pointed at Jia Xu with a livid face and gritted his teeth.

Jia Xu smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Am I cruel? No. My lord once said that I am a 'poisoner'. Since I am a poisoner, it is inevitable to use cruel methods. So Zhongde, you are wrong, not counting I am ruthless, but I am ruthless!"

"Uh!" Jia Xu's words made Cheng Yu choke and roll his eyes, causing him to stare at Jia Xu with wide eyes, speechless for a while.

"Brother Zhongde. It's getting late. Hurry up and leave the customs. If you keep procrastinating like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today!" Seeing that Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were arguing fiercely, Guo Jia hurriedly blocked them. In the middle, Cheng Yu was pushed to leave quickly.

Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Guo Jia and the hundreds of Xiliang soldiers behind him in surprise.Only then did he realize that he was standing in Hangu Pass.This is the territory of the Xiliang Army.Just now he was so emotional that he forgot where he was, but now he suddenly woke up, and instantly scared him into a cold sweat, and his back felt chilly.

Immediately, Cheng Yu got on his horse subconsciously, wanting to leave here immediately.Otherwise, if Jia Xu detained him in a fit of rage, it would be really unresponsive and ineffective.Isn't it unfair?

At this time, the city gate slowly opened a crack, allowing only one horse to leave the city.Cheng Yu waved his hand to signal the three attendants to go first, and he stayed at the end.When he rode his horse out of the city, he still said to Jia Xu angrily: "Jia Wenhe, listen, now you and my armies are allies, I hope you can treat Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu kindly. It will be delivered to you later. Remember!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu whipped the horse and left without waiting for Jia Xu's reply, as if he couldn't leave without hesitation.

As the gates of the city were closed again, Jia Xu and Guo Jia walked side by side, ascending the city and upstairs without any haste.

"What did Feng Xiao mean just now? Do you think I will forcibly keep Cheng Yu, or even harm him?"

"Brother Wenhe, don't misunderstand. Just now you and Zhongde were in a dispute. I just stepped forward to smooth things over, and I have absolutely no other intentions."

"Does Feng Xiao really think I'm angry?"

"Isn't it? Brother Wenhe's complexion changed just now, isn't he angry?"

"Hehehe!" Jia Xu laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to be angry, but how can I provoke Cheng Yu if I don't pretend to be angry? If Cheng Yu is not provoked, we will both be angry. How to complete the task assigned by the lord?"

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the sound, and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by Brother Wen He? The covenant we just negotiated with Zhong De is all the conditions we put forward, and Cao Cao has shown enough sincerity. Each of the four things It is very important to us. Isn't this considered fulfilling the entrustment of the lord?"

Jia Xu nodded lightly: "Yes, what Feng Xiao said is right. Because of this, you really treat Cheng Yu as an ally and think that we should treat each other with courtesy, right?"

"As an ally, it is natural to treat each other with courtesy. What's wrong with that?" Guo Jia continued.

"So, does Feng Xiao think that our army should return the captured General Cao Jun to the allies?"

"This..." Guo Jia hesitated when he heard the sound, then nodded slightly, and said: "It stands to reason, it should be so, after all, we and Cao Jun are now allies. But this matter still needs to be approved by the lord, and it is not something we can decide on our own."

Jia Xu smiled and shook her head: "Feng Xiao values ​​this so-called ally too much. Do you still remember what my lord said to you and me? Some generals of Cao Jun cannot be let go, and my lord will destroy Cao Cao sooner or later. From this we can see that, My lord doesn't believe in the so-called allies at all, and I never thought of getting rid of Cao Cao, but I am more and more eager to get rid of Cao Cao."

"Oh? So that's it." Guo Jia's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly realized: "Brother Wen He deliberately lied about the deaths of Cao Hong, Cao Anmin, and Yu Jin just now. I thought it was your angry words. Now it seems that This is why Brother Wen He intentionally provoked Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu's question just now is tantamount to pushing the three of Cao Hong to a dead end, and Brother Wen He will order someone to see them and execute them secretly."

Jia Xu nodded happily: "Exactly. In fact, only two of the four top-secret news brought by Cheng Yu are important military facts that we don't know. Now that everything is clear, our army's chances of winning have increased by [-]%. The battle is imminent, which is exciting!"

"There are only two pieces of information that are useful to our army? This is not ordinary information that our army's secret agents can find out. Where did the other two pieces of information come from?" Guo Jia asked puzzled.

Jia Xu shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "The time has not yet come, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. It is difficult to decide which is right and which is wrong. When the two armies are in a decisive battle, everything will be clear. The most mysterious part of war is not It lies in the frontal fighting between the two armies, but in the ingenious layout hidden under the fighting."

Guo Jia's expression was shocked when he heard the words, and he nodded thoughtfully, then followed Jia Xu to the tower, and when he looked up, he saw Li Li standing on the tower, looking at the back of Cheng Yu and others leaving on the railing.

When they approached, I heard Li Li whispering to himself: "Liu Bei actually led [-] soldiers and horses to join the alliance, and he had already entered Hedong County two months ago; brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi were ordered to persuade The princes of the two routes raised troops and attacked me from behind. I didn’t know anything about such important information, and I almost made half a hundred steps, and fell short. It seems that the strength of Eagle Eye’s meticulous work is still too weak, far inferior to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Waiting for people's intelligence organization to be strong, we need to supplement capable officers to strengthen Hawkeye's strength, otherwise we will be too passive!"

Chapter 711 The Dragon Looks Up

On the third day before the New Year's Eve, more than 20 horse-drawn carriages drove into the Xiliang Army camp without hindrance, and went straight to the general's camp.
