Chapter 28: The Conspiracy Emerges
Yuan Yao stepped forward to help Zhang Xun, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle, get up quickly, Uncle Lu died in battle, and my heart is not comfortable." Uncle, don't worry, I will kill Lei Bo and Chen Lan, the two thieves, to avenge Uncle Lu! Uncle is sad in his heart, let's go back and rest early, and when the army is dispatched, I will send someone to inform my uncle, and Uncle Lu's house, and ask my uncle to come over to comfort me more, if they have any needs, people can come to me, I will try my best to meet them. ”
Zhang Xun also knew that he was too sad and confused at this time, if he continued to stay here, Yuan Yao would not be able to discuss the military, so he bowed his hand and said: "The minister receives the order, then I will go to the Lu Mansion to comfort, and I will also ask the lord to inform me when he sends troops, I will personally kill Lei Bo and Chen Lan to avenge Lu Mian!" ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I will send someone to inform you."
After Zhang Xun retired, Yuan Yao sighed, and then said: "Come on, take this righteous man down to take care of his life, let Langzhong in the house treat his injuries, and add him to my personal guard army after he recovers." ”
The two guards hurriedly stepped forward to carry the fainted sergeant away and take him down for treatment, Yuan Yao looked at Pang Tong and said: "Shi Yuan has a keen mind and outstanding vision, Yao is far inferior to Ye, in the opinion of Mr., this Lei Bo and Chen Lan's department are Zheng Bao's support?" ”
"Please also ask the lord to mourn, to be able to die on the battlefield for the lord, to live up to the kindness of the lord, and to think that General Lu can be regarded as seeking benevolence."
Pang Tong bowed his hand and comforted Yuan Yao, and then said: "In the opinion of the ministers, Lei Bo and Chen Lan must have been implicated in Zheng Bao, otherwise Zheng Bao would not have ambushed the troops in Chaohu Lake after gathering a large army. Military law is cloudy, and soldiers are fast! There is a risk that his garrison Chaohu will be discovered, and the longer it will be, the worse his situation will be, and the less likely he will be to break through Hefei City, he will not be unaware of this truth. ”
"Now that the news of the two thieves of Lei Bo and Chen Lan has come, then Zheng Bao's actions will be explained, he must be waiting for Lei Bo and Chen Lan to contain the energy of the lord and even lure the lord to transfer part of the garrison of Hefei City, and at that time, he will be able to break the city in one fell swoop by leading the army to attack Hefei!"
Yuan Yao let out a 'hmm' and said, "Shi Yuan's words are very much in line with me, and the situation should be like this now, otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence that Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Zheng Bao sent troops almost at the same time." ”
Pang Tong nodded and replied: "Yes, this matter is indeed too much of a coincidence, and it is precisely this that the minister is worried about." Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Zheng Baoyi are in Yuzhou and Chaohu, they didn't have a relationship before, and now they should have no contact, they sent troops almost at the same time at this time, so who would connect them together? ”
"If someone really sets up this game against the lord, then he should have a great plan, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, the two thieves and Zheng Bao's department are a little troublesome for the lord, but it is not fatal, since this person has set up this game, will this layout be as simple as it is now? Could this person have had other means that he has not yet launched? Who could this person be? Is it Jiangdong Sun Ce or Jingzhou Liu Biaoyi or someone else? ”
"Lord, I'm afraid this matter is far from that simple!"
After Yuan Yao heard what Pang Tong said, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yuan Yao secretly said in his heart: If this person is the person, then he should have the means and strength to set up this situation; But if this is really the case, then it will be a little troublesome, I am afraid that this game will be far from so simple as Pang Tong said.
Yuan Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Where is Zhou Yu now, is he still in Wu County?" ”
"Oops!"
Pang Tong clapped his hands vigorously and said, "I forgot about this person!" According to the news sent back by Yuan Gong, Zhou Yu had returned to Dongzhu more than ten days ago! If Zhou Yu sets up a bureau, it is very likely, Zhou Yu has been eyeing my Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, although Sun Ce has ordered Zhou Yu not to raise troops to attack the lord, but if the two counties change or even the two counties are taken by others, then Zhou Yu will have an excuse to raise troops to attack the two counties. ”
"And although Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu not to raise troops to attack the lord, it was just because he accepted the heirloom jade seal returned by the lord, and it was just an expedient measure. Sun Ce is also coveting the land of our two counties, if Zhou Yu can really capture Jiujiang and Lujiang counties with this, even if Sun Ce knows that he is setting up the situation, he will not really blame him, Zhou Yu knows that this will definitely be fearless! ”
"Zhou Yu is full of wisdom and extraordinary means, he has the ability and enough strength to set up this game, it seems that this move is set up by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu is resourceful and calculated, if it is really him who set up the situation, then this matter will definitely not be so simple, and please ask the lord to take a break from the anger of the thunder, so as to respond to all changes, and wait for a few days in Shouchun before sending troops. ”
Yuan Yao also felt in his heart that this matter should be done by Zhou Yu, only he had the strength and motivation to set up this game, although Zhou Yu did not directly send troops, but this was also the first head-to-head confrontation between Yuan Yao and Zhou Yu.
After Yuan Yao has seen everyone, he already knows how demonic the real top talent is, and now that his mandatory task of guarding Shouchun has not been completed, he naturally does not dare to act rashly, otherwise if Shouchun is lost, then he will really hang up.
Yuan Yao nodded slightly, laughed a few times and said: "Hahahaha, Shi Yuan's words are really open, with the help of all the kings, even if Zhou Yu sets up a situation, what can I do?" Now that the situation is unclear, it is true that there is no need to act rashly. Shi Yuan sent an order to Yuan Li, asking him to guard the city and send elite scouts to investigate the specific situation of Zheng Bao's troops and horses, so that he must be cautious and cautious in his work, and never startle the snake, nor go out of the city to meet the battle without authorization. ”
Pang Tong stepped forward and bowed: "No, the minister receives the order." ”
Yuan Yao glanced at the generals, and immediately became full of confidence, and said, "The generals listen to the order!" ”
Li Siye, Yang Zaixing, Wei Yan, Huo Jun and others stood up and bowed: "The last general is here!" ”
"The generals quickly prepare their troops and horses, and are ready to send troops with me to quell the chaos at any time!"
"No, obey the orders of the lord!"
Yuan Yao finally looked at Liu Ye and said, "Sir, please also prepare enough food, grass, ordnance and other logistical baggage for me, and after finding out the enemy's situation and the situation is clear, I will send troops to quell the chaos!" After I sent out the army, I was bothered to sit in the rear to supply the army. ”
When Liu Ye heard that Yuan Yao had entrusted him with such a big event, he was grateful in his heart, and bowed down and responded: "No, the minister will live up to the trust of the lord when he receives the order!" As long as Ye is still in the day, he will ensure that the spring is safe, and the supply of the lord's army will be smooth! ”
"Hahahaha, with the help of all the kings, why worry about big things!"
