Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 638 Anti-Scheme ([-])
As soon as he learned the news, Jiang Gan took action. The first thing he did was not go to Le Jin to verify the authenticity of the matter. Instead, he secretly contacted the military generals who had a close relationship with him and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity. When Le Jin surrendered, he took the opportunity to attack, and secretly wrote a letter to Cao Pi, detailing the news that Le Jin was secretly surrendering without telling everyone, and ordered it to be delivered to Cao Pi overnight.

Although Xiapi City was not directly attacked by Zhao Yun at this time, the battles in the outer positions were also very fierce. Because people's hearts are fluctuating, some officials in the court are also active in their minds, secretly contacting relatives and friends, determined not to repeat the mistakes of Xu Dushi, and taking advantage of the arrival of King Qin's army to secretly support the surrender, which makes Cao Pi feel very upset now Not good, I have a fire all day long, almost venting on the water whenever I see anyone.

And at this moment, without knowing when it started, there was a rumor quietly circulating in the market that Le Jin, the guard of Langya County, was secretly preparing to surrender to the enemy in a critical situation.

"Hmph! It's simply ridiculous. Le Wenqian has always been loyal to me. How could he have the idea of ​​surrender? This is definitely a trick of the enemy. Can't you see such a simple trick?"

When someone secretly reported this rumor to Cao Pi, Cao Pi sneered and reprimanded the person who reported it.

However, in the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao had a look of doubt on his face, because what was placed on his desk was a letter from his confidant minister Jiang Gan, in which Jiang Gan revealed in a very affirmative tone Le Jin's conspiracy to surrender, even the time and place of the meeting between the two parties, was clearly investigated, and he asked Cao Pi to agree that he had the power to deal with the matter urgently, otherwise, once Le Jin succeeds, Xiapi City will face Zhao Yun In the situation where he and Qu Yi were attacking from two directions, at that time, it would be difficult for Xiapi City to persist for three days, let alone a month.

"Jiang Gan is one of the most capable talents under my command. He has always been relied on by me, and he is upright. He will never slander the generals in the army at will. In this way, is Le Jin really suspected of surrendering? Be cautious, because once a wrong decision is made, it will bring unpredictable consequences."

Cao Pi thought about it secretly, and felt that he should not act recklessly. He needed to send a prudent and meticulous person to Langya to investigate the matter carefully.

But I didn't expect that at this moment, I saw my confidant guard Zhan Fei coming in front of me, with a very ugly expression on his face, he couldn't help asking: "Zhan Fei, why do you look so abnormal? Could it be that you are sick?"

Zhan Fei shook his head and said: "Actually, as long as the country is safe and sound, it doesn't matter even if the general is sick, but the key now is, alas, it doesn't matter if you don't talk, talking will only increase sadness and anger."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Seeing Zhan Fei's hesitant speech, Cao Pi's anger immediately came up, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Zhan Fei shivered, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Should we stop talking? This is not good news. The Lord is not in a good mood. If he hears this, he will definitely be angry. no."

"If you want to say it, just say it. Where did all this nonsense come from? Besides, why hasn't this king experienced it? You have been with me for so many years. Have you ever seen this king being knocked down by any news?"

"No! If that's the case, the general will say it." Zhan Fei gritted his teeth, and then said with a face of shame: "First of all, please forgive me, my lord. During the rest period last night, a thief came from somewhere. The man was light-footed, and the general fell asleep again and again, without even noticing it. When he woke up this morning, he found that he hadn't lost anything, but what was strange was that there was an extra letter on the general's desk. The letter, this letter, this letter turned out to be"

"What is it?" Seeing Zhan Fei's hesitation, Cao Pi asked hastily, feeling extremely impatient.

"Oh, my lord, let's see for myself."

Zhan Fei didn't say any more, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Cao Pi.

Surprised, Cao Pi took the letter and found that it was written by Le Jin to Qu Yi. This letter was written in a hurry, and many places were smeared. It was obviously the first draft of the letter. I believe it was handed to Qu Yi's must have been a neatly copied final draft.

"Submitting the Taijian of the Governor of Qu, the last general was a Han official. Because he was favored by Cao Gong, he repaid the favor. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi rebelled against his father's will and the great ancestor's instructions. He actually forced the emperor to become the king. He was treasonous and betrayed human relations. He was deeply hateful. , the general has long wanted to surrender, but there are many constraints around him, and he cannot act for a while. Now the other party has relaxed a little, and the general will take this opportunity to express his surrender to the King of Qin and the envoy, hoping that the envoy will make a decision quickly, so as not to It's too late to make a difference."

Cao Pi himself was very accomplished in literature, and he also studied calligraphy. He could see at a glance that this was indeed Le Jin's handwriting. He became furious and cursed loudly: "I thought he was a loyal man, but I didn't expect him to be like this." Shameless, what a traitor, you stabbed me hard when I needed you the most. Fortunately, you were discovered early, otherwise wouldn’t I have been harmed by you, a traitor?”

This is when Zhan Fei said: "Your Majesty, as an important minister of the country, how could General Le betray you so easily? Should we investigate and investigate more seriously? Wouldn't it be a bit arbitrary to directly conclude that he is treasonous?"

"Humph! The evidence for this matter is convincing, so there is no need to investigate further? This letter was written by Le Wenqian, and there is absolutely no falsehood. How could this king have misidentified his handwriting?" Cao Pi snorted and said coldly .

In fact, Cao Pi did not mistake Le Jin's handwriting, it was indeed written by Le Jin, because this is the letter that Le Jin wrote to Qu Yi, but in order to make it look like a draft, Qu Yi wrote it on the letter. After some smearing and crumpling, it creates an illusion of being discarded. How did Cao Pi know about these twists and turns?After hearing Jiang Gan's report before, he already had some doubts, but now that he saw Le Jin's handwritten letter, he naturally had no doubts anymore, and directly concluded that Le Jin was treasonous.

So Cao Pi immediately ordered someone to secretly send an order to Jiang Gan, asking Jiang Gan to serve as the prefect of Langya, overseeing military and political power, and waiting for the opportunity to capture and kill the traitor Yue Jin.

At the same time, Cao Pi ordered Zhan Fei to immediately send troops to Le Jin's mansion, and put his family members in prison for disposal.
