Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

What's more, Xu Gong also has a foundation in Yecheng. Even if Yuan Shu wanted to take action, he would not be able to succeed in a short time.

Moreover, with Han Fu now in Yecheng, Yuan Shu did not dare to send troops rashly. "Cao Ang analyzed.

Xia Houyuan thought for a moment and felt the same.

Cao Ang continued: "What's more, if Yuan Shu is really behind the scenes, there is no need for him to do so. He only needs to send some scouts to spy."

"That's true." Xia Houyuan praised.

"In this case, the rebellion in Yangcheng is questionable. I suggest sending a spy to check to determine who the traitor is.

If it is Yuan Shu or someone else, then we must treat it with caution.

If it is Xu Gong, we must seize this opportunity to completely eliminate the enemies in Yangcheng County.

If it is anyone else, they will wait and see what happens. "Cao Ang said.

"That's exactly what it should be!" Xia Houyuan praised.

"This matter will trouble Wen Yuan!" Cao Ang said to Xia Houyuan.

"You're welcome, Zi Lian!" Xia Houyuan smiled slightly.

"Without further delay, let's take action immediately!" Cao Ang said eagerly.

"Okay!" Xia Houyuan also replied simply.

Afterwards, the two of them each selected a hundred people to form a team and dispersed to go to Yangcheng County to find out the news.

On the other hand, Xia Houyuan led eight hundred cavalry into Yangcheng County quietly.

"My lord has an order. If you find anything unusual, don't panic and act according to the plan." Xia Houyuan ordered his men.

"No!" eight hundred soldiers responded in unison.

Xia Houyuan waved his hand, and then led his soldiers through Yangcheng County, looking for the residence of Yangcheng County officials.

Yangcheng County is under the rule of Cao Cao, and Xu Gong is also a man who is good at management.

Therefore, the houses in Yangcheng County are relatively high-end. This made Xia Houyuan and others search for a long time before they found a magnificent mansion.

There are also many houses around this house, obviously they belong to some wealthy families.

Although these wealthy families do not have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of servants like Xu Gong.

But their strength is not weak either. This mansion is the residence of a general named Wang.

General Wang is a military general under Cao Cao, guarding the northeastern part of Yanzhou, and is one of Cao Cao's right-hand men.

Xia Houyuan observed carefully and found that General Wang's mansion was heavily guarded.

"Send a message to inform others to come!" Xia Houyuan said after pondering for a while.

"Promise!" The soldier agreed and ran to deliver the message.

Soon, more than thirty people gathered, and then Xia Houyuan pointed at the mansion in front of him and said.

"This is the residence of General Yangcheng County Prince, you go in separately and lurk.

Remember not to reveal your identity and search every corner of the house secretly. As soon as you find something wrong, we'll get together immediately, you know? "

"No!" Everyone accepted the order.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and began to perform their tasks. Xia Houyuan himself blended into the crowd and began to sneak into the mansion.

Soon after, Xia Houyuan arrived at the back garden of the mansion smoothly.

There are many flowers planted in the back garden, and there is also a pavilion. At this moment, there is a middle-aged man drinking in the pavilion. "Who are you?" Xia Houyuan was shouted back by the middle-aged man as soon as he entered the back garden.

"I am a student of Sima Hui, the governor of Yangcheng County. I came to see General Wang on the order of my master." Xia Houyuan explained with cupped hands.

"It turns out you are Mr. Wang's disciple! Please come in." After the middle-aged man heard Sima Hui's name, he immediately put on a smile and extended his hand to invite.

"Thank you, General Wang!" Xia Houyuan walked into the pavilion quickly.

After sitting down, Xia Houyuan asked directly: "General Wang, are you aware of the recent rumors about Yangcheng County?"

"Rumors?" General Wang frowned.

"That's right!" Xia Houyuan nodded, and then said: "As far as I know, Xu Gong, the governor of Yangcheng County, seems to be quite close to Yuan Shu.

Therefore, during these days, many forces resisting Yuan Shu suddenly appeared in Yangcheng County. "

"So that's it!" General Wang suddenly said.

General Wang, as a small general in the northeast of Yanzhou, usually does not participate in political affairs. This time Yuan Shu sent Cao Ang to conquer Xu Gong, but he was not included.

Therefore, General Wang didn't know anything about the situation in Yangcheng County. He had only vaguely heard that some forces were planning something, but he didn't know what it was.

However, General Wang is a rough and fine person. After looking at Xia Houyuan for a while, he suddenly said: "Do you want me to help you investigate the source of the rebellion in Yangcheng County?"

"Yes! If General Wang is willing to help me, he will be rewarded generously." Xia Houyuan said with cupped fists.

"Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you that I have informed the court about the situation in Yangcheng County. Now the court is probably sending a large number of troops to suppress the rebellion in Yangcheng County.

Do you think I am still in the mood to care about such things at this time?
Besides, this is not a glorious thing, so how can I have the nerve to report it to His Majesty? "

General Wang shook his head and refused.

Xia Houyuan was stunned. He didn't expect General Wang to refuse so simply.

General Wang is an old fox, so he can naturally see that Xia Houyuan is not an ordinary soldier. He guessed that Xia Houyuan must be a child of a certain family.

If Xia Houyuan reveals his identity, he will naturally try his best to help. After all, we are from the same hometown, but unfortunately the other party doesn't seem to want to reveal his identity. Naturally, General Wang would not force it.

"Haha! It seems that I have been rude. Don't worry, General Wang. I will be here whenever General Wang needs you!" Xia Houyuan said bitterly.

"Okay, let's do this for now!" General Wang didn't hold back, he stood up and left.

After Xia Houyuan watched General Wang leave, he also turned around and left General Wang's mansion.

After General Wang left, he immediately returned to the study. Then he took out a secret letter and handed it to the staff on the side.

"Send this letter to Chang'an quickly, and be sure to hand it into your Majesty's hands." General Wang ordered.

"Yes!" The staff member immediately took the letter and left.

General Wang continued to drink from the wine bottle. However, he did not notice that after the staff left, a man in black walked out of the darkness and stared at General Wang with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

General Wang did not feel the danger at all and was still enjoying the delicious food leisurely.

On the other side, Xia Houyuan returned to the station.

"Colonel, what's going on?" A cavalryman came up and asked.

"I have found out clearly. This General Wang is indeed not a simple person, but an old fox. He rejected our proposal." Xia Houyuan shook his head helplessly.

"In that case, what should we do? Do we really want to find someone else?" the cavalryman asked.

Xia Houyuan's face changed slightly when he heard this. (End of chapter)
