Chapter 417: Three-way suspicion
Zhang Ming informed Yuan Xi that Zhen Mi was pregnant.
And then he was gone.
The whole process is inexplicable.
After the others left, Yuan Xi felt that the eyes of the people around him were different.
Maybe he has a meadow over his head.
Zhang Ming withdrew his troops, but they were not surrounded, and their army camped a few miles away.
The sons of the Yuan family also went back, and the more they thought about it when they went back, the more wrong they became.
Yuan Tan thought: "Zhang Ming asked the second child to go out at night?" Are they acting? This is the joint code, the second child wants to rebel at night? ”
Now, the three brothers have their own thoughts.
Yuan Xi thought that the two brothers would definitely laugh at him because of this incident, reduce his prestige in the army, and then annex his army.
And Yuan Shang wondered if he could take the opportunity to win over his eldest brother and suppress his second brother.
Each has his own thoughts, each goes back, and each finds their henchmen to discuss.
The three of them did such an action almost at the same time.
These things were discovered by the spies who were in ambush.
"Did you hear that? This Yuan Xi wants to surrender. ”
"How did I hear that Yuan Tan is going to surrender, he has secretly ordered his soldiers to be on guard, and gathered his henchmen to conspire."
"Did you hear that? When Yuan Shang returned, he ordered the army to be ready to attack at any time, and heard that he was going to attack his eldest brother. ”
"The eldest prince wants to kill the second son and the third son."
"The second son wants to kill the eldest son and the third son."
"The third prince wants to kill his two brothers."
"The troops in the city are on high alert, and now Zhang Ming is not calling, they are doing this to cause a civil war."
"Quick, inform the head of the family that the second son is going to cause trouble."
"The eldest prince wants to kill his two younger brothers."
The three of them went back to discuss secretly, and to a certain extent, ordered the army to be on high alert.
To tell the truth, they didn't want to kill the two brothers, but they were all guarding against the two brothers, afraid that they would suddenly attack.
Zhang Ming has been there for so long and has not attacked, they guessed that there must be an internal response.
Therefore, all three of them were afraid of being murdered by their two brothers, so they ordered martial law in the army.
As a result, the action of the three people at the same time suddenly made the relationship in Taiyuan City tense.
Most people feel it.
In the city, it suddenly became very strange.
The third son of the Yuan family, who realized it later, only received the news later.
The first thing they received was that two of their brothers were going to do something to him.
The news that the three brothers received was the same.
When Yuan Shao was still alive, the three of them fought openly and secretly.
Now, in this situation, each of the three suspects that the other two are trying to harm them.
This suspicion seems very reasonable.
At first, the three of them were very restrained, and at the suggestion of their respective henchmen, they just questioned the two brothers.
Guo Tu, judging and matching, they are greedy, but they are not stupid.
If the three brothers started a war at this time, it would definitely cause their vitality to be greatly damaged, and everyone would perish together.
Therefore, the strategists of the three parties all tried to persuade peace.
However, even persuasion is not so easy.
Because, the three parties already distrust each other.
With some coordination, the three parties finally stabilized temporarily, and no civil war broke out.
Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were still harmonious before.
Regardless of whether he is an MMP or not, he always has a smile on his face.
So, it's okay to cooperate.
But now, none of the three dared to go to each other's territory.
Within the city, each division of territory was divided, and each army controlled a part of the streets.
The three parties, temporarily reconciled, expressed their willingness to unite with the outside world.
The three brothers, in fact, also know that they must be unanimous with the outside world, otherwise they will have no chance of survival.
However, they don't trust each other.
In the evening, the three parties were temporarily reconciled, but the army was still on alert.
The three of them were in the barracks, afraid of being harmed by each other.
Several of the advisors were worried, and the distrust began to spread.
From the top to the ordinary soldiers, a string in their hearts collapsed.
If there's any movement, it can get out of hand.
The three brothers were very restless at night.
Another day passed, and the atmosphere was even more tense at this point.
The three brothers, on the surface, all claim to be reconciled and unanimously to the outside world.
But the body is honest, and they are all on guard in secret, so that the soldiers are on high alert.
Who is this warned?
Not an enemy outside the city, but two of their other brothers.
Another day of tension in the city.
Many spies in the city, they gradually figured out the situation.
"Shopkeeper Chen, business is very good today, make a fortune."
The shopkeeper Chen is a cheap tea house, the tea is boiled in one pot, and there are many tea stalks in the tea leaves.
Do a roaring trade? Just two guests today.
"It's just a mix of food, and it's still the money I used to make leather goods."
"Then does Shopkeeper Chen want to continue to make leather goods, I have high-quality grassland leather goods here."
"How much?"
"Eight bucks."
The two talked nonsensically, but they were talking to each other.
The two did not know each other, and used a code to determine their identities.
On the code, the two of them were sure that they were their own people.
"The boss explained, set fire at night, now the three parties are very nervous, as long as there is a fire, it will be chaotic."
The person came, explained the time and place of the fire, and then left.
Many of the spies in the city were tasked with setting fires.
They don't set a fire to burn a large area, as long as it catches fire, it can make people nervous.
The commander of the spies in the city ordered that all the undercover personnel be activated.
Just ask them to set a fire to the nearest place.
More than twenty fire points were set up in the city.
The order went down, and all kinds of arrangements were made.
On this day, Zhang Ming still didn't attack, but there were more rumors.
On this day, there were several skirmishes, and the soldiers of the three sides had several frictions.
However, it was quickly suppressed.
During the night, the tension did not ease.
The three sons are also aware of the problem, so they have been thinking of a way.
On this day, they consulted twice, and both sent their men to deliver the message.
But it is inefficient, which only deepens mistrust.
So, the three parties proposed that they bring as many people as they want to meet tomorrow at noon.
A result must be negotiated.
"It's on fire."
"It's out of the water."
"There are enemies."
"Someone set fire, someone set fire."
During the night, suddenly, at a certain moment, many places were on fire.
These are some of the places that are close to the tripartite border.
Fire, inexplicably burned.
If you start a fire more, it is obvious that someone is going to set it on fire.
Suddenly, many people felt that the other party was going to make a move.
The soldiers in front were already nervous, and they were even more nervous at this time.
"Kill."
"First strikes."
Ahead, I don't know who shouted first, and then everyone rushed out.
Rush out and kill anyone you see who is not you.
One side does it, and the other two do it.
They each have their own emblems, some with white cloth tied around their arms, others with a white cloth around their necks.
Almost with a white cloth or rope, otherwise it would be impossible to distinguish at night.
"Yuan Tan is going to do it."
"Yuan Shang's army has come to kill."
"Yuan Xi is an internal response, and he is going to receive the enemy into the city."
