But it's just a sign. In fact, Xiahou Dun will not interfere in the matter. Therefore, Xiahou Dun gets up early and exercises almost every day, then takes the guards to the city hall for dinner, and then comes back. Maybe he goes to the city hall again in the afternoon, but he may not go there. If it is windy and rainy, he will stay in his yard all day.

At the beginning, the Hussar soldiers were still eyeing each other every day, monitoring every person who passed by Xiahou Dun. Even the market where Xiahou Dun often ate several times openly and secretly screened it, but no abnormality was found, so they gradually relaxed a little.

This is human nature.

If Xiahou Dun could come up with some tricks from time to time, these soldiers who monitor Xiahou Dun were of course always in a twelve-point spirit. However, now Xiahou Dun eats and goes shopping every day, and is dull and boring, he doesn't pay much attention to Xiahou Dun's behavior.

With the restoration of production and living order in Hedong, the vitality in the market gradually regained.

The wine shop that Xiahou Dun often goes to is one of the restaurants. There is no particularly high-end name, it is simply called Niuji wine shop.

At the beginning, Xun Chen thought that there were spies from Cao's army hidden in this Niu Ji, but he carefully checked it many times and even sent a clever person to act as a clerk at Niu Ji's wine shop, but no abnormalities were found.

Xiahou Dun just went to Niu Ji to drink some wine and eat some food. He never got drunk. Even if he occasionally talked and communicated with others, he did not avoid the soldiers who were surveillance.

On this day, Xiahou Dun came to Niuji Restaurant again and sat by the window on the second floor.

The store owner didn't even need Xiahou Dun's special orders to deliver the dishes that Xiahou Dun often ordered. Unless Xiahou Dun asked for a change of dishes, it would be a "old-looking".

The shopkeeper also knew that Xiahou Dun was a man. He was even taken away by Wen Si for questioning because Xiahou Dun came to eat and drink before. Even though he had nothing to do later, he subconsciously did not want to stay in Xiahou Dun for too long.

Xiahou Dun didn't care about these things.

Because Xiahou Dun came to Niu Ji just to have an extra window to contact the outside world.

Xiahou Dun thought quietly while sipping wine and eating.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao have a very close relationship.

This kind of trust formed by blood, coupled with the fact that Cao Cao has followed Cao Cao since he started his army, is one of his most core members. He has a very high status in Cao Cao's camp. He is not only a military general, but also served as the chief executive of the local government and participated in internal affairs such as military farming, which is deeply trusted by Cao Cao.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun's loyalty to Cao Cao is undoubtedly, and the so-called surrender is just Xiahou Dun's expedient strategy.

Xiahou Dun is strong, but it does not mean that he is brave but has no strategy. There is both blood ties and high binding of political interests between Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao. The Xiahou family and the Cao family regime are deeply bound, and they share honor and disgrace, so Xiahou Dun had no room for wavering from the beginning.

For Xiahou Dun, he misjudged the situation, which basically failed his original plan.

There were indeed many surrendered troops from Cao's army, but not many people who could really be like Xiahou Dun, even if they were treated generously, still wanted to return to the Central Plains of Shandong, and returned to the Cao family.

Xiahou Dun overestimated the Cao army soldiers and his loyalty to the Cao family and the emperor, and mistakenly believed that the Confucian etiquette and law "loyalty and filial piety" could be implemented on ordinary Cao army soldiers. Therefore, when Cao Xiu was preparing to "rebellion", Xiahou Dun chose to stand in the "dark place".

I originally thought that this light and darkness was the most secure, and Xiahou Dun was indeed ready to be put on a knife and axe.

Is it the result...

Xiahou Dun originally thought that the plan was very appropriate, but there were loopholes in Fei Qian's eyes.

When Xiahou Dun thought of this, he creaked the pickled vegetables.

A glass of wine was poured down and a sip of wine grew.

Fei Qian also knew that Xiahou Dun would not surrender sincerely, but it was good either as a hanging horse bone or a bait used for fishing.

Xiahou Dun actually considered a lot after Cao Xiu's death.

The first thing is to go on a hunger strike and commit suicide to show one's ambition.

Death can be used to preserve the family and reputation. On the one hand, it is in line with the loyalty and wise concept of the scholars and officials at that time. They clearly reject all persuasions of Fei Qian, and make a stand by taking a hunger strike, committing suicide or publicly committing suicide. On the other hand, they can also emphasize his loyalty to Cao Cao through their last words, and call on the "Han ministers" in Fei Qian's camp to reflect on what "loyalty and filial piety" is.

This is indeed a good choice. It not only prevents the family from being implicated by surrender, but also leaves the name of loyalty and wiseness for the Xiahou family and Cao family, and consolidates the legitimacy of the political alliance. It can also weaken Fei Qian's follow-up methods. For example, Fei Qian cannot pretend that Xiahou Dun surrendered to attack Cao Cao's morale, and can also reduce Cao Cao's decision-making pressure, etc.

But the problem is suicide, which is a "one-time decision".

And the key is that the window for selection is very short. Once you miss it, the meaning of choosing again will be lost.

Therefore, after Xiahou Dun did not commit suicide in the early stage, the second best strategy was to publicly insult Fei Qian, destroy the so-called "persuading surrender" appearance of the so-called "supplication of surrender", incite other surrendered soldiers of the Cao army to rebel, and anger Fei Qian to kill him.

Unfortunately, Cao Xiu is here.

Cao Xiu chose this strategy first, and after Cao Xiu died, Xiahou Dun chose it again, which was equivalent to some...

So now the strategy left for Xiahou Dun is to accept house arrest on the surface, and to cooperate etiquettely to reduce the alertness of Fei Qian's side, wait for an opportunity to contact Cao Cao, and create an opportunity to escape. If you can escape successfully, then Xiahou Dun can return to Cao's camp to continue to serve, and his political value and military experience can be retained. At the same time, the information obtained during the false handling period can also be used as a reference for Cao Cao's next stage of strategy.

However, the most difficult thing about this strategy is how to "escape"?

It is obviously impossible to rely solely on Xiahou Dun himself.

Xiahou Dun now goes to the market for dinner as long as it is not bad weather, with the purpose of finding an opportunity to contact the personnel sent by Cao Cao...

After almost eating, Xiahou Dun looked up at the sky and was about to get up, but when he got up, he accidentally dropped the pouch hanging on his waist under the desk.

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, then bent down to touch him.

The dining table was seated on the table, so the table table was very short, so it was extremely difficult to touch. After touching for a long time, his hand touched the pouch-wearing ear. Just as he was about to pull it over, Xiahou Dun's other hand seemed to have some uneven marks under the table.

At first, Xiahou Dun thought it was just the roughness of the bottom of the table, but soon he realized that both sides of the table were painted, so how could there be these bumps and bumps suddenly? Moreover, the bumps and the bumps and the edges of the wooden thorns were obviously carved shortly.

The uneven parts are like scraped out with something...

Xiahou Dun groped and resisted the urge to lie down on the table to look.

Because he knew that people were staring at his words and deeds. No one might pay attention to his usual small actions, but something abnormal would definitely arouse the alertness of the monitor.

So Xiahou Dun sat there, covered his sleeves, slowly rubbed the concave marks, and then made shapes in his mind.

Like an arrow.

The direction the arrow points to...

Xiahou Dun followed the direction pointed out by the arrow and looked out the window.
