Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shu asked his servants to go find Yang Hong and Yan Xiang. Although it was already night, their lord was in trouble after all, so the two men arrived quickly.

Yuan Shu showed the letter brought by Yi Ji to Yang Hong and Yan Xiang. He ordered his servants to make some hot tea to drink, and asked the servants to add more ginger. After all, the wind and cold were severe at night, and he did not want to let his two men drink it. It is not very good at this juncture if the counselor is sick.

Yang Hong read the letter and gave it to Yan Xiang. He put his hands together and gently tapped the back of his right hand with the fingers of his left hand, thoughtfully.

Yuan Shu saw it and did not urge him. He knew that this was a habit of Yang Hong. Yan Xiang was still looking at it anyway, so it would be better to wait and discuss it together.

After a while, Yan Xiang also finished reading the letter and returned it to Yuan Shu.

Yang Hong looked at Yan Xiang, and Yan Xiang slightly arched his hand towards Yang Hong, indicating that Yang Hong should speak first, so Yang Hong did not shirk and said: "Ming Gong, this is Liu Jingzhou's attempt to escape the golden cicada's shell. The battle of the Fourth Battle of Xiangyang In the land, the clan rebels have not been pacified, Jiangxia has not been stabilized, and the four counties of Jingnan are mostly powerful officials, and they are afraid that they will not be used by Liu Jingzhou, so they pretend to seek Dong's wishes, make friends with Duke Ming, and move to fight in Jingnan."

Yan Xiang continued: "Now Wen Zhongye is stationed in Wan County, and he has a lot of military supplies, so he should not take it lightly. If you can take advantage of this to add another place, it will be a good plan. But Liu Jingzhou is a man who is watching the wolf. , if the four counties of Nanding are to save more money and food, there will definitely be trouble in the future."

Yuan Shu nodded. He somewhat agreed with this aspect and felt that what Yan Xiang said made sense.

Yan Xiang said that it was also a consideration for the future. After all, Liu Biao's abandonment of Wancheng would increase a piece of land for Yuan Shu, but for Liu Biao, it would free up his hands to capture Changsha, Lingling, and southern Jingzhou. Although the four counties of Guiyang and Wuling lost a piece of territory in Nanyang, they will gain greater profits from southern Jingzhou. Liu Biao's calculation is quite accurate.

Moreover, Liu Biao had always wanted to reach out to Nanyang County, but he just couldn't get in. Last time, he originally wanted to send troops to support Zhang Zi, but Sun Jian was defeated and he lured Zhang Zi out of the city and killed him. Therefore, for Liu Biao, although Wenpin was later sent to garrison, he could only control as far as Wan, and most of the northern area still belonged to Yuan Shu.

While Yuan Shu and the others were thinking, the servants served the cooked tea.

Yuan Shu took the tea soup, took a sip, and frowned. He felt that the taste of ginger juice was too strong and it was a bit pungent, so he ordered his servants to get some honey to add to the tea soup to balance the taste.

The night is deep, and under the dark curtain, the cold wind is strong, making it even more gloomy.

The three of them held the hot tea soup and drank it in small sips. Only then did they feel that the temperature of their hands and feet had risen a little, and the bones in their bodies were no longer as stiff as before.

Yang Hong finished the tea soup, put down the tea bowl gently, and then looked at Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang who had also finished drinking. Fang said: "Wan County is bound to be won, but Liu Jingzhou cannot be allowed to overtake Jingnan. I have a plan." , it can make Ming Gong reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

Yuan Shu said: "What's the plan?"

"Sun Polu was originally the governor of Changsha, and most of the seals and ribbons still exist. Sun Polu can recommend people from his hometown to take the post of governor of Changsha. On the one hand, the war against Dong is imminent, which can soothe Sun Polu's heart; on the other hand, it can extend Liu Jingzhou's The speed of moving south will make the army tired; after waiting for the incident in Heluo, we can send our troops south and attack from the north and south, and we will definitely break it and make Biao restrained!"

Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Good! I will write to Polu immediately!"

Yan Xiang added: "...You can also ask General Ji to lead troops to Nantun to capture Wan County, and in the name of attacking Dong, ask for scarves, silk, food and grass..."

Yang Hong reacted instantly and said: "What Ziwu said is true! If he cooperates with him, his armaments will be reduced and his military strength will be weakened. If he does not cooperate with him, his troops will force Xiangyang and lead them without attack. It will make it difficult for the north and the south to care about each other and lead to chaos. That’s all right.”

After saying that, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of pity.

Yuan Shu put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying repeatedly: "Wonderful! Wonderful!" Suddenly he felt that Liu Biao, who had always been an eyesore in the south, was about to fall into trouble, and he couldn't help feeling very happy and laughing.

Just talking about Ji Ling, Yan Xiang remembered one thing. He asked Ji Ling to lead troops to Kunyang a few days ago to "search" for evidence of the crime of the young rich Luo family. Now that the conclusive evidence has been "found", the Luo family The head of the family, Luo Sen, came down from him, and the whole family was captured without restraint and temporarily detained in a military camp outside Luyang City.

In addition, they also confiscated some property, food and grass stored in the Wubao by the young local tycoon Rosen, etc...

It turned out that Yan Xiang planned to report again tomorrow morning, but he did not expect Yuan Shu to call at night, so he brought the official document on this matter, took it out at this time, and presented it to Yuan Shu for him to make a decision.

Yuan Shu took it, glanced at it briefly, and said nonchalantly: "Luo Sen consorted with the traitors and abandoned the market according to the law. The men were killed, but the women were gone. What about their wealth... I ordered Fu Yi to take half of the army to fill the army." The rest will be transferred to the government." A few words decided the life and death of the young rich man Rosen and his family.

In Yuan Shu's concept, Rosen is just like an ant. If you kill him, you will kill him. He has nothing to say.

"Wei!" Although Yan Xiang couldn't bear it in his heart, but the matter was at this point and there was nothing he could do, he agreed and took the official document back.

Yuan Shu was more interested in Fei Qian of the He Luofei family than Luo Sen of the Luo family. Yuan Shu tapped the table with his fingers and said: "... This time, He Luofei and Qian Feiziyuan are acting as ambassadors. What do you think?"

Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan?

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang looked at each other.

Now the main advisers under Yuan Shu are Yang Hong, who serves as the chief historian, and Yan Xiang, who serves as the chief secretary. However, both of them have some subtle ideas about Yuan Shu's intention to recruit Fei Qian.

For Yang Hong, the arrival of Fei Qian may not be a good thing.

Yang Hong is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family. He had many contacts with Yuan Shu when he was in Luoyang. After Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, he also followed him, so he sat in the first position of counselor in Yuan Shu's mansion, but now Although the family background of Fei Qian of Heluo is not as good as that of Hongnong's Yang family, after all, Fei Qian has just married into the Huang family of Jingxiang. If Yuan Shu wants to conquer Jingxiang and recruit Fei Qian, he will naturally It is equivalent to gaining the support of the Huang family in Jingxiang. Moreover, the Jingxiang gentry are often involved, and if a Huang family is involved, maybe others will follow...

When Yuan Shu recruits Fei Qian, he must also open the door to the Jingxiang gentry. However, in this way, Yang Hong, who is far away from his homeland, may seem a little weak. How long can he, a long history man, stay in office? It’s hard to say…
