Everyone bowed down and left the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Huang Gai stayed at the end, and after seeing that everyone was gone, he said: "Demou, you are confused, why do you want Tai Shici to be in charge of the scout rangers in the army?" Don't you understand, now Jiangdong is unstable, and only by letting the second son take over the position of Wu Hou can we ensure the stability of Jiangdong! ”

Cheng Pu glanced at the old friend in front of him, sighed, and said: "The second son is talented and intelligent, if he can take over the position of Wu Hou, he will definitely be the master of one party, I believe that if the lord can leave a will, he will also let the second son take over the position of Wu Hou!" ”

Huang Gai frowned and said, "Since you have also seen this matter clearly, why do you still arrange it like this?" If the second prince is allowed to sneak into the camp secretly, with the assistance of you and me, he will definitely be able to control 50,000 soldiers and horses, and at that time, Wu Hou's position will be available by rubbing his hands! As long as Jiangdong's foundation can be stable, what if you and I take on some infamy? If Jiangdong's foundation is not guaranteed, what face do you and I have to go to see the old lord and Wu Hou under Jiuquan? ”

Cheng Pu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "But after all, the lord did not leave a will, most of these 50,000 troops are the descendants of the lord, and even Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are also the henchmen of the lord, in their opinion, Sun Shao, the son of the lord, is the most orthodox and best candidate to inherit Wu Hou's position." If you and I rashly let the second son come to take over the 50,000 army, I am afraid that before Jiangdong is in chaos, the 50,000 army will fall apart first, and at that time, you and I will become the sinners of cholera Jiangdong!! ”

"Moreover, you and I are all Sun's generals, and the relationship with the second son is very deep, even if the second son takes over the position of Wu Hou, it will have no impact on you and me; However, most of the generals and soldiers in the army, such as Tai Shici, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, are the henchmen of the lord, they are all descendants of the lord, and they have no friendship with the second son, and they are the supporters of the son of the lord in legal theory. Publicly, you also have to understand the thoughts of the soldiers, this matter can only be delayed, and you must not act in a hurry, otherwise it will cause a big change, today's matter, you are too anxious! ”

When Huang Gai heard this, he also realized that he was indeed too anxious today, and now that he had 'forced' Tai Shici to the opposite side of Sun Quan, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for Sun Quan to take over Wu Hou's position!

Huang Gai thought that he had done something wrong with his good intentions, and immediately regretted it, and said, "Demou, then what do you think we should do now?" ”

Cheng Pu groaned slightly, and said: "Zhang Zibu is a famous man in the world, and his wisdom is slightly outstanding; The old lady is also a strange person, and she is also a person with outstanding vision; Zhou Gongjin is not to mention, this person's wisdom and calculation can be described as unparalleled in the world, although he is the lord's henchman, but he is also the lord's brother in life and death, he will not sit back and watch the Jiangdong foundation collapse! I believe that with their wisdom, they will be able to see more clearly who is the best candidate to take over Wu Hou's position now, and we can't act rashly in this matter anymore, so let's wait for everyone to gather and discuss it together. ”

Huang Gai smiled bitterly a few times and replied: "Now it seems that I can only act like this!" ”

"General, General Dong Xi asks to see!"

At this moment, a sergeant suddenly came to report, Cheng Pu heard that Dong Raid had returned, and hurriedly replied: "Let General Dong come in!" ”

"Yuan Dynasty, can you catch the person who lured you to go hunting?"

Dong Xi bowed deeply and said: "The last general is guilty, when he returned to the camp, this person had committed suicide, I rummaged through his military tent, and I didn't find any clues!" ”

"Can you find out who this person is?"

"General Hui, this person is from Wu County, and the last general suspects that he may be the remnants of Yan Baihu!"

"The rest of Yan Baihu?"

Cheng Pu frowned slightly, and said: "After the lord defeated Yan Baihu, he once incorporated a lot of Yan Baihu's remnants, and now there should be as many as three or four thousand people in the army, scattered among the various armies. You should continue to investigate the people around him and the people with whom you often deal with him, and see if there are any more suspicious people, and you must investigate this matter in secret, and you must not let others find out, so as not to cause turmoil in the army! ”

Dong Xi buried Sun Ce's life because of his own mistakes, and he was very sad in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "No, the last general will take the order, and he will definitely find out the real culprit behind the assassination of the lord!" ”

After Dong Xi retired, Cheng Pu appeased Huang Gai again, and then asked him to go to pacify and rectify his troops and horses. Cheng Pu thought about it for a moment, but still felt that the rest of Yan Baihu had to be guarded, so he hurriedly brought his own guards and asked them to go and give orders to the generals in the army, so that they could secretly monitor the rest of Yan Baihu to prevent chaos in the army!

……

Before Cheng Pu issued martial law, the children of the Jiangdong Shi clan in the army had already transmitted the news of Sun Ce's assassination back to the family, and several principals who had arranged for Xu Qi to assassinate Sun Ce hurriedly gathered together again.

One of them asked indignantly, "How did this happen, and why were there three assassins involved in this matter besides the assassins I arranged?" Could it be that you don't believe that I can't arrange a lot of people? Originally, I had already arranged that Sun Ce would die of poison after returning to the camp, but now that Sun Ce has not passed on his order, how can this be good, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in my Jiangdong land again! ”

"Brother Tai must not be angry, we naturally believe in the manpower arranged by Brother Tai, we can guarantee that there is no indiscriminate placement of people, the three assassins who appear behind are definitely not our people!"

"Huh? How could this be, since it wasn't the manpower you arranged, could it still be the manpower arranged by Yan Baihu's remnants or Guangling Chen Deng? ”

"The rest of Yan Baihu has already been frightened by Sun Ce, it's okay to let them fight in the corners, but if they are allowed to assassinate Sun Ce directly, they must not have such guts, and the rest of Yan Baihu has not been in direct contact with us, and they don't know how we will arrange the assassination."

"Well, I think so too, these three assassins will definitely not be the rest of Yan Baihu, in my opinion, they should be the people arranged by Chen Deng in Guangling, and only Chen Deng has the means and strength, in a targeted situation, find out how we want to act and then intervene."

"I feel that Guangling Chen Deng's motive is insufficient, as long as Sun Ce dies, Guangling County will be safe, if I Jiangdong is in turmoil, it will only cheapen Jianghuai Yuan Yao, Chen Deng should not be so unwise!"

"Humph! If it weren't for Guangling Chen Deng, would it be Jianghuai Yuan Yao who would have interfered in this matter? ”

"Brother Tai laughed, hahahaha......"
