Lu Hong took Liu Xiongming and his bandits away to question him. For the sake of credit, he took action without mercy and tortured more than ten people in less than half a day.

Under all kinds of inhumane torture, the bandit leader who had been sent by Ma Chao to win over finally couldn't stand it. He cried and confessed his various crimes one by one, even saying that he was urinating when he was a child.

Zhuge Qian copied it in time and sent someone to Chang'an with a fast horse. Late at night, this military newspaper finally appeared on Cao Ren's desk.

After reading the military newspaper, Cao Ren was silent for a long time after his face was full of incredible expression, and then he quickly asked someone to invite Zhong Yao, the Sili Captain who had been in charge of Guanzhong for many years.

Zhong Yao is fifty-eight years old this year. His grandfather is Zhong Hao, one of the four elders of Yingchuan, and his family background is very prominent.

As one of the old ministers of the emperor when he was covered in dust, Zhong Yao served Cao Cao since the fourth year of Jian'an. He was in charge of justice and was not controlled by others. Zhong Yao was indeed very capable. With his extraordinary ability to deceive Ma Teng and Han Sui, he used both soft and hard skills, beat up the high-ranking officials, and the Southern Xiongnu were in trouble. He was the most prestigious figure in Guanzhong.

He was so busy planning for war that he was not touching the ground. When he heard Cao Ren summoning him, he immediately knew that something had happened. He quickly put on his clothes and hurried to Cao Ren's mansion.

When Cao Ren saw Zhong Yao, he stood up and bowed, threw the military newspaper he had just received into Zhong Yao's hand, and smiled:

"Zhong Sili, my giant eagle made a small contribution this time, and cut off the spy sent by Ma Chao to the rear. I wonder if I can calm Zhong Sili's anger?"

Zhong Yao opened the letter suspiciously and looked at it. His forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat.

At the age of his life, he thought that his ability to recognize people was perfect. Chang Diao did not dare to come to Chang'an before, but instead hid in Tongguan to drink and have fun. This person's demeanor and ability were very poor. It was more than enough to be a guard for Cao Ren. Taking charge of one side would be a disaster for the entire army.

But unexpectedly, Chang Diao had such forbearance, easily captured Liu Xiongming, a bandit who had been hiding in the mountains, and also investigated them at the same time...

"Huh?" Looking at the ink traces on the military newspaper, Zhong Yao's palm couldn't help but tremble violently, "How is this possible?"

The military newspaper said that Chang Diao found out that Chen Qun wanted to rebel and wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the war with local wealthy families in the Shangyong area to rebel, and cut off Yunshan's return. This matter is of great importance, and Cao Ren also asked to make a decision quickly.

"How is this possible..." Zhong Yao murmured again.

He had been busy in Guanzhong before. Although he had heard of the dispute between Chen Qun and Yunshan, he thought it was just a very simple small conflict. It was easy to say if Zhao Yan mediated in the middle.

But Chen Qun actually wanted to rebel...

"Hmph, I'm not to hide it." Cao Ren sneered, "The Giant Eagle had already found out that Chen Qun wanted to rebel before, but he did not make any statement in consideration of the overall situation. In order to give Chen Qun a chance, he personally went to Xiangyang to persuade him to return to Yunshan.

Hey, I didn’t expect that Chen Qun actually thought we didn’t notice it, and now we are going to rebel on Shangyong.”

"Where is Shangyong? I wonder if Zhong Sili is familiar with it?"

As we all know, although the Shangyong area has no future, it is close to Wuguan, one of the four gates of Chang'an.

From Wuguan to Lantian, you can quickly penetrate behind Chang'an.

Liu Xiongming is from Lantian. Although he commanded not many bandits, he was extremely familiar with the terrain and had a good reputation in the local area by pretending to be a god.

In addition, Liu Xiongming's confession said that Ma Chao was going to rebel and Zhong Yao's origin, even Zhong Yao himself couldn't help but sweat and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"Zhong Sili has a noble character and Cao Ren is a junior, so he shouldn't have said much.

But after Kong Rong's incident, Xun Lingjun and the Prime Minister had many conflicts, and now they encountered this incident again.

Hey, if the Giant Eagle had not been alert and willing to risk his reputation, I would have been afraid that this great disaster would be coming."

When Chang Diao was drunk day and night, Zhong Yao was honest and frank about what Chang Diao was wrong. He never thought that his vision was so regressive. This person had such a scheming and means, and he deserved to be the leader of the school officials selected by Cao Cao. After this incident, I am afraid that in the future... Alas! Why did Changwen do such a confused thing?

"What does General Zixiao want me to do?" Zhong Yao wisely skipped all kinds of politeness and went straight to the topic.

Cao Ren sneered:

"I have a special trust in Zhong Sili, so I am willing to share this matter with Zhong Sili.

We wise people don’t say secret words, I want you to agree to two things.”

"But it's okay."

"At first, if the giant eagle is ill in the future, I will be counted on the heads of the Yingchuan princes."

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly:

"Mr. Chang has the ability to be well-known in the sky. After this incident, who dares to say that he is wrong behind his back? I will restrict my nephews. In the future, everyone dares to say that Military Advisor Chang is wrong."

Cao Ren nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Before, Xun Lingjun, Chen Changwen and others complained about Kong Rong's affairs. Chen Qun and Liu Bei had old friends, and were bewitched and rebelled by Liu Bei, which caused the court to lose Nanjun.

The Prime Minister was unwilling to argue with Xun Lingjun and Chen Changwen for many contributions in the past, but this time he wanted to rebel and target Tanzhi.

After repeated, can we continue to do it again and again? Zhong Sili thought what should we do?"

Zhong Yao was silent for a moment and sighed:

"The long-written rebellion is still inconclusive.

I will write to him so that he will not be embarrassed by Tanzhi. Besides, the Giant Eagle has the ability to be able to understand the truth and dare not rebel again."

"Okay," Cao Ren nodded with satisfaction, "Zhong Sili, I believe in you very much. Now it's time to use people. I'll wait for the fight to combat Zhang Lu and eliminate..."

"Report!"

Before he finished speaking, a series of harsh gongs suddenly sounded in Chang'an City. Accompanied by the gongs were the fearful calls and footsteps of Cao Ren's personal guards.

Cao Ren had to stand up, and Zhong Yao's face was as white as the face, and slowly got up and went out side by side with Cao Ren.

"What's the matter panic?"

"Ma Chao, it's Ma Chao who called him!"

call……

It's true.

Cao Ren had been guarding against Ma Chao's rebellion before, and Zhong Yao was confident that he could control the son of this old comrade-in-arms. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao, a filial son, did not consider that his father was still at Cao Cao's hands, and he directly led the army to rebel without saying a word.

"If you rebel, you will be rebellious. I don't believe that he can still conquer Chang'an."

Cao Ren pinched it directly and made a loud noise, and the expression on his face became even more firm. He could not wait to compete with Ma Chao. Everyone said that Ma Chao was brave and could not be regarded as a brave man, but I want to see what he has.

He cheered up his spirit and dispatched the city defense. He heard that Ma Chao was a distance from Chang'an, so he rushed back to sleep and prepared to fight well tomorrow.

But unexpectedly, before he could sleep, he heard someone else spreading a report outside in panic.

"So what's wrong? Ma Chao scored in?"

"This, there is nothing...but, Shen Yi and Chen Qun occupied Shangyong's rebellion, and now they have broken through Wu Pass!"

"What?!"

·

Chen Qun arranged Shen Yi a few words before and waited for the battle, preparing to cut off Guan Ping's return, so that he could understand how stupid it was to keep him in the back.

In the past few days, Shen Yi was busy, and a large number of military equipment and grass soldiers began to be dispatched quickly. Five thousand private troops under Shen Yi were mobilized and ready to go to war at any time.

Chen Qun checked Shen Yi's soldiers and frowned secretly - these people were all strong, but they were not considered elite soldiers at all. Many of them were drunk and chatted casually when they lined up, without any basic qualities that an elite soldier should have.

Well, these people are so brave that they are scaring Guan Ping. It depends on Shen Dan to fight.

"Chen Jun, we are ready to go, and we are waiting for your order now." Shen Yi leaned over Chen Qun and smiled with a flattering look on his face.

Chen Qun nodded:

"Where is Brother Ling?"

"Hehe, my brother is in Shangyong City, unprepared."

"Hmm? Are you going to go to war? Why are you unprepared? What have you done for so many days?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen doesn't know that my brother is not willing to offend Yunshan at all. He just agreed verbally, but he has no intention of sending troops.

I am different. I am loyal to the court and always admire Gao Yi, the scholars of Yingchuan.

My brother is unwilling to go to war, I am willing to go to war for the court!"

Chen Qun:...

OK, I thank you.

Looking at the appearance of these soldiers under Shen Yi, Chen Qun shook his head:

"I appreciate my heart. You are not Guan Ping's opponent at all. Let's discuss this matter again."

Shen Yi's face changed and she said with great dissatisfaction:

"Why?"

"If you can't defeat Guan Ping, don't die." Chen Qun looked silly, feeling a little excited. "Guan Ping has been on the battlefield for a long time. He had been dormant in Xiangyang for a long time, and in order to attack Hanzhong, he took out all his family's fortune. These soldiers are elite soldiers in the world, and they are definitely not the soldiers under your command who can fight against him.

If your brother is willing to help, it’s fine. If you don’t want to help, you will die if you go.”

“Bad talk!”

Shen Yi had always been quite respectful to Chen Qun before, but this time, he looked resentful and said sternly:

"Without Shen Dan, could I not be able to do anything?

Let me tell you, I grew up here too, and no one in the barbarians and wealthy families here will give me some face. If it were me who submitted to the court back then, I am now also the Marquis of Yuanxiang, you should bow to me!"

Chen Qun looked at this person stupidly. He, who came from a prominent family, could not understand the ideas of such a rural nouveau riche.

Looking at Shen Yi's resentment, Chen Qun couldn't help but sneer.

"Then what are you going to do? Go and fight Guan Ping? Please, go, I won't stop you.

To be honest, I put all my hopes on Shen Dan this time. Without Shen Dan? You can't do anything."

Shen Yi laughed:

"Chen Changwen, do you think I am stupid? Shen Dan didn't let me raise troops with your banner before, and I don't know what he was afraid of.
