Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei did not say anything more after hearing this. He was very unhappy with what Sima Lang had done. Fortunately, the Hongnong Yang family and the Chenjun Yuan family still had some food and grass, so they did not have to eat each other. Otherwise, Liu Bei would have drawn his sword and killed Sima Lang.

"Bang, bang, bang." Just as Chen Xi was describing Sima Lang's affairs expressionlessly, a special knocking sound appeared on the sealed door of the Government Office. At this time, the most important thing, that is, the matter involving Zhou Yu, had been discussed almost, so Chen Xi did not care about keeping the door closed.

As an aside, there are a lot of secret techniques attached to the door of the Government Office, and it is engraved with a special Xuanxiang formed by the dragon vein of national destiny. It is said that once it is closed, it will form an independent blockade and will not be affected by anything.

Of course, this is just a boast. In fact, once this door is closed, the effect is more to prevent various secret methods from peeking into the Government Office, and it is also impossible to use special secret techniques to observe information, forming a black box where information cannot flow out.

After all, there are too many observation methods these days. Even the method of destroying information by the Parthian Empire has been explored in the face of Rome's endless cracking.

Judging from the information shared by the Han Dynasty and Rome, Rome has opened some extremely precious information from the black box of information blocked by the Parthian Empire, which made the Han Dynasty extremely angry and felt that it was reasonable - when the Huns cooperated with the Parthian Empire, they separated some special bloodlines and integrated them into a certain noble of the Parthian Empire as a hidden vein.

This information is very outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it is also a very normal situation. After all, the Huns chose to move westward after being defeated by Dou Xian, and the Parthian Empire, as a famous great power at the time, even for strategic reasons, it was normal to take in the remnants of the Huns.

Of course, according to the information revealed by Rome, after the Huns fled to Central Asia, the Parthian Empire pretended to turn a blind eye to it and let the Huns wander in the Turan steppe near the Caspian Sea, as if they had no idea at all. However, since this information can be recorded, it is natural that there is some attention, but there is no special contact.

About forty or fifty years ago, after the Xiongnu barely caught their breath, they also fought with the Roman Empire as the thugs of the Parthian Empire (it was written in more than a thousand chapters), and even clashed with the Roman Empire's Military Soul Legion.

During this period, the emperor of the Parthian Empire at that time realized that the Xiongnu's military soul was not destroyed, the imperial will was still there, and his own set of things was destroyed by Rome, and they were in need of a substitute, so they wanted to try to tamper with the Xiongnu's will.

At that time, the Xiongnu Shanyu was Hu Yanchu's father, and he also had some ideas of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Under the indulgence of the Parthian nobles, the two sides had a deeper exchange. In addition to blood descendants, there were other related technologies, but they were not described in detail in the intelligence.

But this intelligence at least confirmed a fact, that is, there must be one or several branches of the Parthian nobles with Xiongnu blood flowing.

Rome was not interested in this intelligence. They just wanted to expose the secret information of the Parthian Empire, such as what the fate instruments compiled by the failed fate weavers were, and whether Rome could pick up a bargain and repair them for their own use.

As for the information about the Huns, the Roman Empire immediately gave it to the Han Dynasty. After all, it was agreed that if the Huns or anything related to the Huns were discovered, the Han Dynasty should be informed. The last time a North American bald eagle was discovered, Nigel also specifically informed Huangfu Song. This time, another piece of news was received, and of course it was passed to the Han Dynasty to solve.

The Han Dynasty was not surprised when it received this news. It quickly organized a group of people to investigate. However, there were a lot of fun things recently, and this matter was delayed a little. Fortunately, the problem was not big, so it was investigated slowly.

"Come in." Chen Xi raised his hand and greeted the gate of the government office. His spiritual talent moved slightly, and then the gate of the government office opened naturally. Guo Jia's guard saluted everyone with a solemn face, and then sent the urgent information in.

Guo Jia waved to Ruan Liangyu, indicating that the other party should leave first, and then picked up the urgent information in his hand and read it. However, before he finished reading, Guo Jia's face became extremely ugly.

"What happened?" Chen Xi frowned and asked when he saw Guo Jia's serious expression.

"Weishuo was assassinated." Guo Jia said angrily.

"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned at first, and then confused. How could Liu Yan be assassinated? What happened?

"Investigate, I'll take the lead in investigating!" Jia Xu said angrily.

If it weren't for Liu Bei, Jia Xu would have stood up and slammed the table. The assassination of Zhou Yu made Jia Xu extremely sensitive, and his self-protection attribute was maxed out. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan was assassinated within a few hours.

This is Liu Yan, a good man who has been a teammate of Jia Xu for more than ten years, a great celebrity, and the head of the human resources department. He is fundamentally different from a vassal king like Zhou Yu. He is a real central official, a real prime minister with a salary of two thousand stones. He was assassinated? Jia Xu was furious.

If they can assassinate Liu Yan, then they can assassinate Jia Xu. After all, Liu Yan has the same configuration as Jia Xu. Except for Chen Xi, the people sitting in the government are at most the same as Liu Yan. This is the level of the true founding fathers!

"Sit down, sit down." Liu Bei had already received the secret letter from Guo Jia. Liu Bei was shocked by the assassination of Liu Yan. He quickly took the information and came to see it. Chen Xi couldn't sit still and walked over.

"Is the assassin mentally ill?" Liu Bei said angrily. Liu Yan was assassinated as Sima Lang. You don't know him, how can you assassinate him!

"Are Yuan and Yang such useless people?" Fa Zheng was so dumbfounded that he even covered his head and began to wonder if there was something wrong with this world. Even assassinations can be wrong. What do you do for a living? Is this the level of the nobles of all generations?

"I'll send a letter to greet Yuan and Yang. What do they do for a living?" Li You saw what Liu Yan wrote below and was sure that the assassination was wrong. He was also a little confused. What kind of a makeshift team is this? Even the assassination can be wrong?

"Wait, you all know that it was Yuan Yang who wanted to assassinate Sima Lang. Why didn't anyone take care of Sima Lang? This is considered killing without teaching." After Liu Bei was sure that Liu Yan was just frightened and nothing happened, he began to think, and then quickly realized one thing. You all knew about this, but you didn't care. This is not good!

"I've said before that I've saved my cousin twice. The most serious one was from Wenru, and I even told my cousin in front of Wenru." Chen Xi said helplessly, "I can save him twice, I can't save him a third time, it's enough, they're all human lives."

"We need a tragic death to shock the bureaucracy of Xinzhou." Li You said expressionlessly.

"Xinzhou is indeed in a mess at the moment. There are some problems with the upper and lower levels, and the ice is not formed in a day. It's simpler to let the bureaucracy see what it means to be angry and blood splashes five steps." Fa Zheng said coldly.

"Actually, I wanted to save him, but Boda didn't listen. He thought it was still under control." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, many people wrote letters to Sima Lang, letters from the Yuan family, letters from the Yang family, letters from the Chen family, and letters from Kuai Yue, but it was useless.

Sima Lang believed that what he did was in accordance with the rules, and Zhuge Liang also followed the rules and suppressed Cao Cao in the Congling Mountains. With Zhuge Liang's example, it was nothing for him to follow the old rules.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang could not persuade him, because he really told Cao Cao the rules, followed the procedures, and strictly followed the rules step by step. The problem is that Zhuge Liang was not so extreme. At least he really gave weapons and food to Cao Cao on time, without adding any idealistic operations. He said that it would be released in 44 days, and the equipment and food would definitely reach Cao Cao in 44 days.

What is Sima Lang playing? Sima Lang is playing that when the food of the Yuan and Yang families is exhausted, the food will definitely arrive. What does it mean when the food is exhausted?

Sima Lang can give an accurate time, and Yang Zhong, as the head of the Yang family, will not die with Sima Lang.

If there is a time node, even if it is a little longer, Yang Zhong can think of ways to mix wood residue and bran to wait for the food to come. After all, if there is a node, the Yang family can stabilize their own subordinates. This does not even have a node, and there is no stability. It can only explode!

??????????.??????

Look at Zhuge Liang in Pamirs. Did he dare to tell Cao Cao that the food and supplies would arrive only when the Kushans sent troops to attack you? That would really kill people.

Zhuge Liang would only say that these things need to go through the process. If you follow the process, I can deliver it within a few days. You said you want to speed up. Sorry, this is the process. If you want to speed up, you can find a way yourself.

There is no place to cheat people throughout the whole process. It is just a real rule. If you are not satisfied, you can only bear it. There is nothing to say.

Both of them are about rules, but the rules of the two are two different things. Zhuge Liang's rules are quantifiable rules, Sima Lang's rules are difficult to quantify, and tend to be idealistic rules.

"In fact, as long as Boda clearly stated how many days it would take for the food and grass to arrive, even if it took a little longer due to the current environment in Central Asia, for example, it would take 40 days to the Yuan family and 55 days to the Yang family, etc., the major families would actually be able to accept it." Mi Zhu rarely expressed his views on this aspect. After all, he was actually quite optimistic about Sima Lang.

"Yes, if Boda had just said how many days it would take to arrive, instead of saying that it would definitely be delivered before the food of the Yuan and Yang families ran out, it wouldn't have come to this." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The former is a rule, even if it's slow, others can't say anything, the latter is not a rule, it's a threat."

While speaking, Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang looked calm and didn't say anything. Why did he follow the rules back then, but no one said he was threatening Cao Cao? To put it bluntly, he had a clear time point.

Even if you can plan well, you can even use this rule, because Zhuge Liang is always on time, never early, and never late, this time is this time.

To be honest, for some people, this kind of absolute rule is actually a good rule. At least it is really clear and there are no other influencing factors.

This is what Zhuge Liang did to Cao Cao. The reason why Cao Cao was suffocated was not because of the crushing at the level of rules, but because Zhuge Liang did too well when serving others, and was a pure robot when serving Cao Cao.

In contrast, Cao Cao was very angry, and the longer it lasted, the more angry he became. Even if Cao Cao found a way to use this rule later, he would still be very angry.

Liu Bei compared it in his mind and recalled his experience in the Yellow Turban era. When ordinary people saw the grain in the jar decreasing day by day, if the summer grain was about to arrive at this time, even if the grain in the jar was decreasing day by day, the people could suppress their anxiety and despair, and continue to handle their own affairs step by step, waiting for the summer grain.

If this is after a severe drought, there is no food at all, and one can only wait for officials who may release food at any time. Then when the food in the jar is getting less and less, the heart will probably be filled with despair.

The former can find a way to survive even if it is a few days later, but the latter may only have riots if it is a day or two later.

When Li Fu was stationed in Wei County, he would rather take down the Chang'an inspector than open the warehouse to release food. He knew what would happen if the promise of releasing food made by the bureaucrats when the people were short of food was not fulfilled.

As a big family, Yuan Yang also knew it, so there was no such thing as food arriving before the food was exhausted, only how many days it would arrive. The former just wanted them to die.

Of course, in Sima Lang's words, it was some exchanges, but for Yuan Yang, this kind of exchange was not as good as killing Sima Lang, so that the later generations would think about what can be done and what cannot be done, at least to eliminate the disaster.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei sighed, somewhat emotional. He had also met Sima Lang, and he had a high opinion of Sima Lang. At least there was no big problem in governing a place.

"Speaking of which, Weishuo was assassinated. What's the situation with Boda in Xinzhou?" Chen Xi asked Guo Jia with a bit of surprise.

"I don't know. Let's ask Yuan Yang first. But Weishuo is fine. He is not even injured. He is just frightened." Guo Jia looked at Li You and said, indicating that Li You should send a letter to ask Yuan Yang now.

At the same time, Yuan Yin had received the secret report sent by the Chenjun Yuan family from Xinzhou. The core of this secret report was to explain frantically that they did not assassinate Liu Yan. Their assassin had just landed and had not yet arrived at the Xinzhou Governor's Mansion. It was not their two families who did this job. Please ask the country to check carefully. It really has nothing to do with them!

After reading this secret report, Yuan Yin's sweat soaked his clothes. He finally knew why someone dared to knock on the door with a secret report during the closed-door meeting just now. Liu Gong was assassinated? I'm so stupid!

Although Liu Yan has always been low-key, and when Lu Su was around, he played the role of Lu Su's subordinate from time to time. But to be honest, Liu Yan was one of the twelve elders, one of the first group of people to follow Liu Bei, a famous scholar in the world, half of the Minister of Personnel, and a big man in charge of the middle and high-end human resources of the Han Empire.

What is the Minister of Personnel? That's a heavenly official!

This is Liu Yan, but this kind of person was assassinated, and the Chenjun Yuan family was also involved in this matter. Yuan Yin stood there holding the secret report, not daring to move, not daring to move at all!

Sending this kind of thing up will kill people!

"Yuan Zhubu, Shangshu Pushe is looking for you." The guard saw Yuan Yin standing aside and raised his hand to greet him. Yuan Yin woke up as if from a dream, wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the secret report in his hand, and walked towards the government office tremblingly, his steps were extremely heavy.

Yuan Yin didn't know that the Yang family wanted to assassinate Sima Lang, nor did he know that the government had actually acquiesced to this matter. He now knew that Liu Yan, who was considered half a heavenly official, had been assassinated. This was a big deal!

Therefore, when Chen Xi called him over, Yuan Yin was already sweating and his face was somewhat pale.

"What's the situation? Are you sick?" Chen Xi asked with a strange look on his face when he saw Yuan Yin like this, and Yuan Yin tried hard to wipe his sweat and said that he was fine.

"You should have a special contact method to ask about the situation of the Yuan family." Chen Xi handed the information in Guo Jia's hand to Yuan Yin. After reading it, Yuan Yin's sweat on his head was less. If the person was fine, then at most he would be exiled, and there would be no inexplicable three clans or nine clans, and there was still room for explanation.

He quickly returned the secret letter he received to Chen Xi. If he didn't hand it over now, when would he hand it over? This was a dying defense.

"Lord Chen, please look, this is the secret report that the Chenjun Yuan family sent to me in a hurry a few minutes ago." Yuan Yin took out the sweat-stained secret report from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Xi with both hands. Chen Xi was slightly startled, took it, and then opened it.

After reading it, he sent Yuan Yin away and closed the door when he left. Yuan Yin's originally uneasy heart was much calmer after hearing this. At least it seemed that he should be fine. Damn Chenjun Yuan family, can you do something about it!

"The Yuan family of Chen County has sent the letter. I think the Yang family will soon, and maybe they have already sent it. They are thinking about how to send it here." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This secret report is not good news."

While speaking, Chen Xi handed the secret report to Liu Bei, and then explained, "The assassination was not done by the Yuan family and the Yang family, nor was it a mistake, but the assassin arranged by the Yang family has just arrived at the Xinzhou Governor's Mansion."

Liu Bei's face sank when he heard this, and the expressions of others also became much uglier. The assassin of the Yang family recognized the wrong person and mistook Liu Yan for Sima Lang. They thought it was outrageous, but at least they could understand it.

But Liu Yan was assassinated before the assassin of the Yang family came. This is hard to explain, and in this case, the assassination mentioned in the secret report before was probably an excuse!

"Forget it, leave this to me. I'll check it out. Arrange some guards for me." Jia Xu stepped forward. He had to strike hard at this kind of thing. Damn it, this was really a threat to Wen He. He had to get to the bottom of it.

Lying down, ready to struggle to the death. I'm really happy that I don't have any drafts saved.
