Huan Fan led his men, controlled his facial expressions forcibly, and finally walked out of the periphery of Sima Yi's army. Only then did he dare to breathe a little relieved.

It was a crisp autumn day, and after walking only a short distance, his chest and back were already soaked to the skin.

Now that he could escape, he couldn't wait to say to Si Fan and Buqu:

"The matter is urgent. I have to rush to Xuchang to report to the general. You and others must also hurry up."

"I expect Sima Yi will react soon, and he will definitely send people to chase him when the time comes. Don't be careless."

It's not that Huan Fan didn't know that taking these people to Xuchang personally was the most appropriate way.

But now that things have come to a point, Sima Yi will definitely not let him and others off easily.

When so many people walk together, it will not only slow down the journey, but also easily expose the target.

The lesser of two evils, even if he knew that leaving these people behind would be a flaw in his plot.

But right now we can only protect ourselves first.

Although the mouth of the dead is naturally the safest.

But Huan Fan was not a general who led the army. Since he became an official in Cao Wei, he has basically been regarded as a civilian official.

After arriving in Jizhou, although he was appointed as General Zhenbei as usual, he was still unfamiliar with military matters.

Under the circumstances at that time, without the cooperation of Si Fan and other cronies, how could they barely stabilize the morale of the army under the pressure of Sima Yi's army?

Not to mention that without the assistance of Si Fan and others, it would not be so easy for Cao Shuang to wipe his ass with his own servant Ding Buqu.

So now we can only try our best to get these people to Xuchang.

After arriving in Xuchang, everything became easier.

Therefore, before Huan Fan left, he specifically said to Si Fan:

"If Sima Yi knew about what happened in Yecheng, it would be difficult for him to do anything right. So now you and I can be said to be in the same boat."

"If you are lucky enough to reach Xuchang safely, I will definitely tell the general about your achievements. Why worry about a reward when the time comes?"

After drawing a big piece of cake, Si Fan and others' eyes lit up.

After appeasing everyone, Huan Fan got on his horse, and with a few of his most trusted cronies, galloped towards the south.

It's just that although the flatbread is delicious, if you want to eat it in your mouth, you have to go to Xuchang.

The most critical problem facing Si Fan and others was that they were too close to Yecheng, or in other words, too close to Sima Yi.

But it is too far away from Xuchang, or in other words, from the general.

More importantly, the people sent by Sima Taifu to chase them were much faster than expected.

In order to catch up with Huan Fan as soon as possible, Sima Yi even sent out his precious cavalry.

Moreover, these elite cavalry were modeled on the Ji Han cavalry army, equipped with a three-piece cavalry suit.

"Where is Lord Huan?"

Facing more than a hundred menacing Jingqi, Si Fan, who at this time was still bent on rushing to Xuchang to receive his reward, although he wanted to resist.

But after taking a look at his side, he was immediately discouraged and simply ordered his men to abandon their weapons and surrender.

In order to get out of the city safely without being suspected, they all pretended to be Huan's servants.

The one who holds it is no more than a sword, and the one who wears it is no more than cloth armor.

How can we fight against these mighty elite knights in front of us?

Not to mention that the Huan clan servants, who only knew how to deal with weak women who had no power to resist, immediately dispersed when they saw the pursuers coming.

And I don’t know if they had received the order early, but these people actually scattered and ran away.

"Master, have mercy!"

Si Fan is also a sensible person.

As soon as he was brought to Sima Taifu, he saw the Taifu's face that was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.

Before the Taifu could say anything, he immediately begged for mercy.

Huan Fan has already run away, so in the Yetai incident, he will have to take the blame and become the main culprit.

If you don’t beg for mercy now, when will you wait?

"Where have those talented people that Cao Shuang sent to Tongque Garden gone?"

Sima Yi asked in a low voice, staring at Si Fan.

Although Si Fan had long expected that the Taifu would ask about this matter, and the Taifu sent people to chase him and others, it was most likely because of this.

But when he heard the Taifu's question, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead, and his mouth started to stutter:

"Return to the Taifu's words, those, those..."

"Say it!"

Sima Yi shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes," Xiaoren said. Sweat flowed into his eyes, and Si Fan did not dare to reach out to wipe them. "Long before the Taifu entered the city, Huan Shijun took Xiaoren and others to bring the late emperor's talents to the city.

,all,all..."

At this point, Si Fan didn't dare to continue talking.

"I want to die!"

Sima Yi, who was usually very good at cultivating qi, now no longer cared about his demeanor and simply drew his sword as if he was about to strike.

"If you don't say anything, believe it or not, I'll let you sharpen your sword?"

"I can't help Huan Pifu. Do you really think I can't help you?"

"Even if your wife and children live in Xuchang, believe it or not, I can still bully your entire family?"

"Believe it, believe it! The villain believes it!"

Si Fan's face was pale and his head felt like pounded garlic.

"Now I want you to tell me what Huan Fan did to the late Emperor's talents!"

Sima Yi was so angry that he passed by with his sword, and Si Fan's bun was immediately cut off.

"Yes, yes..." Si Fan felt a slight chill on his head and was frightened. He quickly said, "They were killed by Commander Huan. They were all killed by Commander Huan!"

Sima Yi had already guessed this answer, so he was not too surprised. He continued to ask:

"Where is the body? Where is the body buried?"

"They didn't bury them. Huan Shijun asked the villain to put the corpses, stones and iron tools in sacks and sink them in Zhangshui..."

"A common man! This is really worse than a beast!"

Sima Yi cursed angrily and ordered:

"Where is Shen Yu? Lead the way there quickly!"

Although the Zhang River in Yecheng is not too urgent, Huan Fan buried the corpses for several days. It is not easy to fish them up again.

Sima Yi sent a large number of men to search along the waterside.

A few days later, I tried my luck and picked up two sacks.

It's just that the corpse inside was swollen and rotten by water, and was beyond recognition, making it difficult to identify.

Sima Yi had no choice but to let others restrain him and bury him.

The talents of the late emperor that Cao Shuang sent to Yetai were not found in Ye City, which made Sima Yi's plan not so perfect.

He might even give Cao Shuang some truth in the future.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no use in regretting.

However, Cao Shuang has always kept things secret, and the Three Dogs in Taichung are even more rampant.

The fact that the late emperor's talents were secretly hidden in the general's palace has become an open secret in the court.

Even if Cao Shuang is not caught this time, it does not mean that Cao Shuang has not done those things.

Not to mention that he still has Si Fan and others in his hands.

The only thing to worry about is how to cover up the army's unauthorized entry into Yecheng so as to block Youyou's mouth?

Alas, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort!

Just when Sima Yi was trying to figure out how to take over Jizhou at the minimum cost.

Huan Fan was already running all the way, crossing the river from Baimajin, traveling day and night, entering Chenliu, and then ran from Chenliu to Xuchang.

When Cao Shuang heard that Huan Fan had arrived, he was shocked and hurriedly came out to greet him personally.

When he saw Huan Fan's appearance, he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was his fellow countryman:

"But in front of Yuan Zejun? You, why did you become like this?"

But I saw the man in front of me, with disheveled hair and bare feet, with long hair covering half of his face, and the exposed face was covered in gray and black dirt.
