Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 519 He is definitely a traitor!

It is a little difficult to shoot Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong was well prepared. Seeing Cao Xiu getting angry and humiliated, he turned around and left without giving him even the slightest chance.

Cao Xiu was furious when he saw this, and wished he could go down to the pass himself and kill Xing Daorong.

But this kind of thought can only be kept in my mind.

The first thing he felt at this moment was the soldiers' inquiring gazes.

Cao Xiu knew very well that the soldiers in Guanzhong must have been influenced by Xing Daorong's words.

If we can't put food in front of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to control their worries at all.

However.
The imperial edict from Yecheng has been waiting for a long time, but it never comes!
In his irritability, Cao Xiu's mind began to become a little extreme.

At this moment in the big tent in Hangu Pass, Cao Xiu began to think about some strange things in front of Cao Zhang and Xu Huang.

"Ziwen, Gongming, do you think that what Xing Daorong said is a little bit off?"

"I don't feel anything is wrong"

"Why do you think Xing Daorong is so sure that we are starting to run short of food supplies in Guanzhong?"

"What's so strange about this? You know how terrifying Xing Daorong is. Isn't it normal for him to calculate that Guanzhong is short of food?"

In the big tent, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang and Xu Huang were discussing heatedly about the situation at the pass just now.

After a few discussions, Cao Zhang became somewhat impatient.

Although his courtesy name contains the character "wen", this character actually has nothing to do with him.

But he said, "Wen Lie! Just explain it clearly. Could it be that there is a traitor in our place who leaked the information to Xing Daorong?"

Cao Xiu shook his head when he heard this.

"We have extremely strict control in Guanzhong. Even if there is a traitor, no news can be leaked."

"Besides, we have our own soldiers inside the pass, veterans who have followed us through life and death for many years. How could there be spies among them?"

Cao Zhang was even more confused after hearing this.

But he asked, "Since Wen Lie also thinks that there are no spies on our side, what is the meaning of saying this?"

Cao Xiu looked at the two men and said, "You two! Just because we can't have spies among us doesn't mean there aren't any in other places!"

"As for the news that we are short of food here, who knows the most about it?"

After hearing this, Xu Huang finally reacted. After a long while, he was still talking about Sima Zhi!
just
Could it really be Sima Zhi?
Xu Huang said, "General Wenlie, this matter is of great importance. Don't wrongly accuse anyone."

"If there is news, it is not just in Luoyang. Wouldn't it be easy for the letter we sent to Yecheng to be exposed?"

"Besides, maybe it was really Xing Daorong who figured it out himself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu seemed to be very serious about this.

But he said: "Confused! Gongming, you are really confused! You should know who Xing Daorong is best!"

"Could that guy be someone who talks nonsense?"

"It's obvious that he got some accurate information!"

Xu Huang felt that there was nothing wrong with what Cao Xiu said.

Indeed, according to Xing Daorong's style, he has never been a person who speaks without thinking or casually.

just
If you say this is Sima Zhi's business, it doesn't make sense!

He said, "Even if there is news, we cannot be sure that it is Sima Zhi's business."

Cao Xiu said, "Isn't it Sima Zhi? Or is it Xing Daorong that Your Majesty told about himself?"

"Humph, since Gongming doesn't believe this, let's go and find out for sure!"

"If Sima Zhi can't explain it clearly, then he must be a traitor without a doubt!"

After saying this, he turned around and left, as if he was going to lead his soldiers. Xu Huang was very anxious when he saw this.

"No! No!"

But Cao Xiu had already made up his mind, so how could he listen to him?
He just kept his head forward and was out of the tent in a moment.

Xu Huang was extremely worried and hurriedly advised Cao Zhang beside him, "Please ask Ziwen to persuade him quickly and don't let Wen Lie do anything stupid."

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang hesitated for a while and said, "What Wen Lie said does make some sense. Why not ask him to go and find out for sure?"

Xu Huang never expected that Cao Zhang had the same idea!
Can I ask this?
If there is no contradiction as soon as you ask, everything will be ruined!
Seeing that Cao Zhang could not be persuaded and Cao Xiu had already set off, he had no choice but to rush after him.

After finally catching up with Cao Xiu, he was about to persuade him again, but Cao Xiu spoke first: "General Xu Huang, we will find out once we go there whether Sima Zhi is a traitor or not."

"Why do you have to cover up for him? It makes you look like you are on the same path as him."

My goodness! After hearing this, Xu Huang knew that if he continued talking, he would be labeled as a "traitor" by Cao Xiu.

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and said, "Then we can go together. But when Wen Lie goes to see Sima Zhi, he must not directly shout for war and killing."

After thinking about it, it doesn't seem very safe to just go this far.

Then he added, "When you go there this time, please keep quiet, Wen Lie. I will ask you."

Cao Xiu subconsciously wanted to object, but then he changed his mind and decided to let Xu Huang ask.

Let him get to the bottom of it and get rid of his other thoughts so that we can deal with Sima Zhi together.

He swallowed his refusal and said, "Okay... General Xu Huang, you go and talk, and I'll just listen from the side."

Xu Huang felt relieved when he saw that Cao Xiu agreed, and the two of them went to Luoyang again.

...

Sima Zhi was also a little annoyed when he heard that the troops from Hangu Pass were coming again.

He also heard about some of the fighting on the front lines.

Xing Daorong's army had already pressed its way to Hangu Pass, ready for a decisive battle.

Even in this case, why didn't Cao Xiu and Xu Huang guard the pass carefully and gave up coming here?

"Extremely confused!"

"With such mediocrity, no wonder they were defeated repeatedly by the Han army!"

"If Lord Cao were still alive...why would he need these people?"

Sima Zhi cursed inwardly and stood ready on the city wall, waiting for Cao Xiu to arrive.

When people arrive, make the first move!
"Cao Xiu!"

"Why are you bringing troops here if you don't just guard your Hangu Pass?"

Cao Xiu became angry when he heard Sima Zhi's voice. He was about to curse when he felt someone pulling him back.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Xu Huang who was holding him.

Thinking about the promise I made to Xu Huang... and letting him speak, I could only hold my anger back.

Xu Huang's tone was still good, but he called out: "Sima Zhi! The reason I came here today is because of the temporary shortage of food and grass in Guanzhong."

"Please do me a favor and raise some food and fodder."

"If it's inconvenient...then please open the city and we can do it ourselves!"

Xu Huang really felt that what he said was already very polite and restrained.

pity…

Sima Zhi did not appreciate it.
