The wind whistled across the tent.

"There should be someone behind this matter."

Li Ru's words fell down affirmatively, and figures sat back and forth with whispering to each other, looking at the scholar in the seat on the left, with decorations around him, fur tiger heads, swords, spears, swords, and generals' solemn expressions, which made the atmosphere of the tent that suddenly calmed down become solemn and majestic. Gongsun Zhi pointed the handrail at his fingertips, frowned, and finally stopped his fingers.

"You said." He looked at the scribe and his lips moved.

"That Confucianism is daring to guess"

On the seat, Li Ru stood up and bowed and nodded, "When Ru was in the Western Liang army, he had never heard of Zhang Ji having a military advisor, otherwise he would not have died in the attack on the city because he had no food in the army. This person should have been the one who was later in charge of Zhang Xiu. Have you ever thought about why it was said outside that Cao Ang was killed by Zhang Xiu?"

Before he could finish his words, Dian Wei frowned and clenched his fists: "It's different. Anyway, it's all Zhang Xiu agreed, otherwise how could a person who gave advice behind the scenes mobilize the Xiliang army?"

"It's different!" Li Ru shook his head, brushed his broad sleeves and put them behind him, walked through the middle, and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Xiu didn't expect that he was pushed to the forefront, but the mastermind hid behind him and hid his head without showing his tail. Perhaps he, like Ru, had done a huge mistake and did not dare to show up in front of others." He looked at Dian Wei and pursed his lips: "General Dian, when I joined the lord's command, it happened to be Guo Si and Li Jue counterattacked Chang'an, but these two people had no such strategy. If you change direction, maybe the person who hid behind Wancheng to kill Cao Ang was to plan to counterattack Chang'an for Guo and Li."

Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes and said the name of the man: "Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe"

On both sides of the tent, Qianzhao, Yan Rou, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Li Ru who were standing in the middle all looked over. Of course, they didn't know that Gongsun Zhi had guessed it long ago, and just exposed the person according to Li Ru's words. If he spoke this person without any basis, many people here would be suspicious.

"The lord knows this person?"

"I heard a little, and when you said it, I just remembered that when I went south to Luoyang a few years ago, I accidentally heard this name, but whether that is in Wancheng is Jia Xu is still to be discussed, so you continue to say it." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and made him continue to analyze it.

The scribe bowed and twisted his beard and spoke: "Originally, Zhang Xiu had surrendered, but he resisted because his aunt was humiliated? This point makes people doubt that a person who decided to surrender would not rebel because of a woman who was not his wife, otherwise he would not have endured Cao Cao stayed in his aunt's room for several days. There must be someone who was sowed away from the city gate. So the biggest problem here is that Cao Cao was on Zhang's mansion, far from the city gate. Even if he brought thousands of people into the city, he would have very few opportunities to seize the city gate. Even if he was the lord, the biggest possibility would be to be blocked and besieged and killed in the mansion, why could he escape?"

The sound of people's breathing was quiet in the tent. After a moment, Zhao Yun frowned and asked, "What does the military advisor mean? Are there other reasons?"

Li Ru nodded: "If General Zhao had been in the city with many ambushing troops, could he break out of the city? Even if he was lucky enough to leave the city, the Xiliang cavalry stationed outside the city was not comparable to infantrymen. In addition, Zhang Xiu's spear skills are not weak, so he can be considered a powerful general. Why can't he stop a mere defeated general? Therefore, Ru speculated that these Xiliang cavalry received another order and their target was not on Cao Cao. If Cao ** was gone, it might not be in the interests of Jia Wenhe."

"The only one who died was Zixiu and his cousins!" Pan Feng stood up, waved his fists, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Then let's say that Zhang Xiu's rebellion in Wancheng is just a special person to kill Zixiu? Ahh." He brought up several cases and smashed them to the ground, roaring: "Which turtle kills and assassinates my brother!!"

Everyone has their own ideas, and most of what Li Ru guessed was doubtful, so naturally they would not be as excited and furious as Pan Feng. Yan Rou was silent for a moment and raised her head: "Military advisor, Zi Xiu has just returned to Yanzhou, and he doesn't seem to have any grudges with Jia Wenhe, so why should he kill him?"

Li Rufuwei closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Maybe, someone in his family wants to kill him?" He opened his eyes and paused in his tone: "If someone in the Cao family had an affair with an outsider and took the opportunity to conquer Wancheng to get rid of Cao Cao's eldest son, then everything would be understandable. Jia Wenhe persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender. He learned from the Cao family that Cao Cao's character. After being a human being, he lured the other party to invade Zhang Xiu's aunt. In a few days, he lobbled and disagreeed between Zhang Xiu and the other Xiliang army, causing conflicts. When the incident happened, it was Cao Cao's own defeat caused by himself, and he also lost his son and nephew. It was such a simple process. In private, he arranged one conspiracy after another, but in fact, the man's goal was always clear on Cao Ang."

"Zhang Xiu took the blame, but he deserved to die." Dian Wei glared and cursed. After all, he and Cao Ang all the way to the north. "If it weren't for the military advisors, we could only see the appearance. It turned out that there was such muddy water below, but could the counselors in Cao Cao's army not see it?"

"It's not that they can't tell, they probably won't say it." Li Ru took a deep breath: "Cao Ang is the eldest son. If he doesn't die, they will probably dare to say it, but if he dies, he will tell this matter. The angry Cao Cao will definitely kill the woman in the family, but in the end it is the woman's child who becomes the eldest son. Will the person who killed his mother be settled by the child in the future? How could those strategists not expect?"

As he spoke, the generals fell silent. According to Li Ru, it had become a matter of fighting for the throne at home. Pan Feng lowered his face and wiped his tears, "Wouldn't that Zixiu die in vain? Fortunately, my leader only has one son."

Li Ke, who was standing next to the big chair, subconsciously turned his head and glared at Pan Wushuang who was talking. On the other side, Dian Wei reached out and twisted another hand on his big back with a round waist. Pan Feng covered his mouth in pain, and lie on the table with a crack.

"Let's go down, just hear about this. As for whether to avenge or not, I'll talk about it later." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and stood up from the big white tiger chair. Everyone in the tent had their own ideas. Some who had friendship with Cao Ang naturally wanted to avenge him. The other part was more willing to develop the foundation and attack Jizhou after strengthening the army. Now things have just fermented in the north. He is not as reckless as before: "... Let's talk about Zixiu's affairs in the future. The war in Liaodong cannot be stopped. Zilong, I want your subordinates to quickly get familiar with tactics and complete the ability to fight in winter. In November, they send troops to Liaoxi to join Suonu. By December, they must enter Liaodong. Then... I will beat the Xianbei and Wuhuan for me, and beat Gongsun Du as well."

Zhao Yun stood up and bowed to take the order.

"Yun Ding dyed the snow in Liaodong red." His voice was plain and simple.

Gongsun Zhi nodded, waved his hand to let the generals leave, and called out the one-armed figure behind him, "Dongfang, let me go." Even with Dongfangsheng, he walked outside the military camp. Li Ru knew that the two had something to say, but did not follow. On this side, the two got on the carriage and drove out of the huge military camp. Gongsun Zhi patted the Sour Ru on the shoulder: "I don't blame you for Zixiu. This matter is for my own good and for Shanggu County. I can't blame you."

"Thank you for forgiveness from the leader, but you are guilty of taking down the information privately." Dongfang Sheng shook his head, then fell silent for a moment before saying, "But at this time, he still has to say that Zi Xiu's revenge, so his father will come to avenge him. What does it have to do with our Shanggu County? He left and had no connection with us. Shanggu County has many things to do, so why should the leader go to the Central Plains to mix with other people's family affairs?"

Gongsun Zhi lifted a corner of the curtain of the caravan and looked at the caravans coming and going outside: "You say this and it will be a petty family." His words paused for a while, and he turned slightly and looked over: "The Cao family has nothing to do with me, but Cao Ang is half a subordinate after all, and he wants to avenge his revenge. More importantly, he has to take Han Long back to the Central Plains. He works hard for me. My Gongsun Zhi cannot let my brothers down. If possible, this year will be over in Xudu. After the spring begins, see if there is any chance to understand Lu Bu's affairs."

"Have the leader ever thought about becoming an emperor?" Soru raised his eyes.

"Why do you have to fight for a name?" Gongsun Zhi put down the curtain, pressed his palm on the low table, and clenched his fists: "Northern land, I am the emperor."

The shaft rolled into the city gate, and the sunset gradually turned into orange red in the horizon.

After seeing off the Sour Ru, Gongsun Zhi returned home all the way, picked up the Zhenger who was learning to walk while stalking on the pillars, teased him for a few times. The yard was quiet, and Cai Yan stood beside her and took off her cloak and scimitar for her husband and handed it to Xianglian.

"Today, I heard from outside that Zixiu...he is dead." The woman asked softly as she turned around.

After looking at his son in his arms, Gongsun Zhi sat down under the eaves on the stone steps, was silent for a moment, and replied dryly: "He...ah...is gone."
