Unexpectedly, Huan Fan suddenly nodded to Si Fan again and finally said:

"General Si, I know what you mean."

Si Fan once again:...

At the same time, I was a little flustered. What on earth was Shijun Huan going to say?

But when he saw Huan Fan adjusting his clothes, he turned around and said to the soldiers around him:

"I am deeply blessed by the country. Even if I know that I cannot keep it, I should not give up lightly. However, I am the parent of the officials in Jizhou. If I know that I cannot keep it, but force my people into the flames of war, I am not worthy of being a parent."

"Therefore, I only ask you to guard the city for three days. After three days, I will be doing your best, and you can go or stay..."

Before he finished speaking, Huan Fan could no longer speak. He bowed deeply to the soldiers and then turned around and left the city.

All the officers and soldiers had already prepared to surrender, but now seeing Lord Huan's attitude, some hesitated.

Yes, Yecheng is the capital of the Wei Dynasty. If they open the city and surrender like this, how can they deserve the trust of the court?

Not to mention the Taifu under the city, he was also the Taifu of the Wei Dynasty.

Even if they surrender, what will the Tutor think of them?

Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Si Fan laughed:

"Why do you worry? If you can only defend the city for three days, what's the problem?"

"We can secretly convey to the Grand Tutor what Huan Shijun said just now. Since the Grand Tutor has a kind heart, why not wait another three days?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Then someone asked with some concern:

"Is this really possible?"

"Whether it's feasible or not, you'll know after you try it. Anyway, Commander Huan only needs us to hold on for three days."

There’s no requirement to do it anyway, right?

As one of Huan Shijun's most trusted subordinates, Si Fan felt that at this time, he should take the initiative to share his boss' worries.

Explain to everyone what Huan Shijun said that was difficult to say:

"What if the master agrees? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

It can save Huan Shijun's face without hurting the Taifu's harmony. At the same time, he and others don't have to face such terrifying weapons.

So it should be killing three birds with one stone?

After hearing what Si Fan said, everyone stopped talking.

Yes, if you give it a try, no one will die.

But if you don't try it, you might actually die.

So why not give it a try?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Si Fan knew that most of them were excited, so he said again:

"What do you guys think about this matter? If you think it's okay, then it's better to inform Taifu as soon as possible to avoid any accidental harm."

After a while of silence, someone finally answered:

"The Tutor is about to attack the city, and we really can't delay it any longer."

…

At night, Si Fan came to the governor's house again.

This time, he came quietly, deliberately avoiding everyone.

Huan Fan sat alone in front of the eucalyptus table and dismissed everyone before he met Si Fan.

After Si Fan came in, he saw the candlelight flickering, the light and darkness intertwined, and it was impossible to see clearly the expression on Huan Shijun's face.

Only a faint voice reached my ears:

"What's wrong?"

Si Fan didn't try to find out what Huan Fan's face was like, he just bowed his head and replied respectfully:

"Reply to the envoy, the master has agreed, and you can wait for three more days."

"I mean, how do the military officers and generals view this?"

"The officers and men in the army all know that the envoy loves the officers and is grateful for the great kindness of the envoy."

Hearing this, Huan Fan's tone finally showed a slight fluctuation, but he could only hear a disdainful sneer coming from his nose.

There is no need to risk one's life in battle, they will naturally say so.

But if it's the other way around, I can't help but think that I'm going to have my own way.

Judging from the performance of the people on the city wall today, if they were really forced to defend the city, I would probably have to turn a blind eye while sleeping.

The general in Xuchang can be said to have contributed a lot to the fact that people's hearts have turned against each other to such an extent!

As a clan member, the emperor and the queen mother are in charge of assisting the government and supervising the country. It has only been a few years, why has it become like this?

Apart from being as stupid as a pig, Huan Fan really couldn't think of any other reason to explain his behavior.

After being silent for a while, Si Fan felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more depressing, and then he heard Huan Fan speak again:

"General Si?"

Si Fan quickly responded: "The general will be here."

"Come forward."

Si Fan walked forward a few more steps, stopped in front of the table, and stood with his hands down.

"How have I treated you in the past two years?"

Si Fan replied without hesitation:

"The little man is lucky enough to be supported by the envoy, and his kindness is like having parents again."

"That's very good." Huan Fan stared at Si Fan and continued to ask slowly, "I just don't know if I can trust you."

"As long as your Majesty has your orders, even if you go through fire and water, there will be no regrets even if you die!"

After hearing this, Huan Fan's face did not waver at all, he just sighed:

"If all the generals in Yecheng are as loyal as you, why am I here?"

In this case, how should Si Fan proceed?

Fortunately, Huan Fanben didn't mean to say more to him, and asked again:

"I asked you to gather your cronies, have you done so?"

"To reassure you, I have summoned more than a hundred people outside the mansion to obey my orders, and they are all willing to die."

"good."

Huan Fan nodded and finally stood up.

The light of the candle finally illuminated his face.

But Huan Fan's expression at this time was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

How can I still be as glum and depressed as I was during the day?

"Come with me."

In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, the servants of the Huan family had already gathered, and everyone was holding an open fire.

Two groups of people gathered together, totaling nearly 300 people, and followed Huan Fan toward the northwest.

Since Cao Cao founded the country in Yecheng and expanded Yecheng to the north of Zhangshui River, Beicheng has become the most important area of ​​Yecheng.

The reason is very simple, because the center of the North City is the palace area where the Wei Kingdom was founded.

To the east of the palace are Qili and the government offices, where the nobles live.

To the west of the palace, it is designated as the forbidden garden Tongque Garden, also known as Tongjue Garden.

Tongque Garden was not only an amusement park, but also an important activity place for Jian'an literati in those days.

The Seven Sons of Jian'an created the Jian'an style of writing, and this is the place to witness it.

Of course, Cao Zijian's death from illness means that the Jian'an style of writing has become a thing of the past.

In today's world, Feng is the founder of a new generation of writing style.

Tongque Garden, a witness of Jian'an literary style, has three tall pavilions, namely the Golden Tiger Terrace, the Tongque Terrace and the Bingjing Terrace from south to north.

The most famous among them is the Tongque Terrace.

After Cao Cao's death, most of his wives, concubines, and dancers were kept in the Bronze Bird Terrace, and they were ordered to perform music on the first and fifteenth day of every month to worship the spirit.

Probably because of this, Cao Shuang knew that the musicians in Tongque Terrace were excellent, or rather professional.

So he selected dozens of talented people left by Cao Rui and sent them here to let them learn music for his own enjoyment.
