Chapter 670: Three-legged Standoff
Yuan Yao woke up faintly, saw Ji Ling and Yang Hong by his side, and asked slowly, "Yuxi, are you really lost?" ”
Yang Hong nodded heavily: "This thief is not an ordinary person, he only came for the jade seal, and the other treasures have not moved!" ”
Ji Ling frowned and said, "Could it be that this Yu Flip sent someone to steal it?" No wonder he reacted violently when he learned that the jade seal had been stolen, and then left in a hurry, apparently trying to divert our attention. ”
Yuan Yao said angrily: "Presumptuous, what is this place where I am Shouchun City?" Come! ”
Lei Shu and Chen Lan entered in response: "The last general, what does the lord command?" ”
Yuan Yao said: "The two of you quickly led the troops to get back Yu Turn, he stole the valuables of the treasure house, and now he has not gone far!" ”
Lei Shu Chen Lan glanced at each other and said in unison: "No! ”
Ji Ling said at this time: "The lord is slow, what he stole was the real jade seal, but what he took away was the fake jade seal!" ”
"What?" Yuan Yao was confused by Ji Ling's words.
"The real jade seal is still in Shouchun!" Ji Ling said, "The last general has not only been with Yu Fu these days, in fact, he has been monitoring, he slept last night and then quietly left the post house alone, and came back at dawn, so I expected him to have the intention of stealing the jade seal, so when he came out with him today, he secretly sent someone to check his residence, trying to use a fake jade seal to drop the bag, I believe that our people have come with the real jade seal at this moment!" ”
As soon as Ji Ling's words were finished, the soldiers outside the door came to report: "See the lord!" ”
Yuan Yao looked at these soldiers with hurried expressions and asked eagerly, "How is it?" ”
Several people said in unison: "It is true that a jade seal was found in Yu Flip's room, we dropped the bag according to General Ji Ling's plan, we just left with our front feet, and Yu Flip came back, and he didn't look closely, so he hurried out of the city with the fake jade seal!" The subordinates have found the jade seal back," he said, taking out the jade seal from his arms and offering it to Yuan Yao
Ji Ling took the jade seal and handed it to Yuan Yaodao: "Sure enough, it's not what I expected!" ”
Yuan Yao held the jade seal in the palm of his hand, he was happy and surprised in his heart, if it wasn't for someone present, he was afraid that he would have to hug the jade seal and kiss it non-stop, he looked at Ji Ling and said in admiration: "The general has done me a great favor again!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Hong complainingly and said, "What idea do you have?" If it weren't for General Ji Ling, I would have lost the jade seal and would have to bear the name of injustice now! ”
Yang Hong immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates are stupid, I almost missed the lord's important matter!" ”
Lei Shu Chen Lan said: "Lord, why can't we chase this Yu over?" ”
Yuan Yao looked at Ji Ling: "General Ji Ling, why does it look like this?" ”
Ji Ling pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Chasing, definitely chasing, not chasing at this time makes people feel suspicious, but the two generals have to thunder and rain a little!" ”
Lei Shu Chen Lan understood, said and left.
"It seems that the alliance between the lord and Yuan Yao has ended here! It's going to be a big battle next time you come to Shouchun, right? Yu turned his horse and rode to the outside of the city, looked at the jade seal in his hand, and the chasing soldiers who only shouted and did not chase a few miles behind him, laughed loudly, and ran south.
Yuan Yao knew that this time Yu turned back, he would definitely not say anything good about himself in front of Sun Ce, he knew the truth that the first strike is strong, and the second attack will suffer, so he will be the chief historian Yang Hong, the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang, the governor Zhang Xun, the general Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, the generals Lei Shu, Chen Lan, the new defectors Han Xian, Yang Feng and others gathered in the conference hall to discuss: "Sun Ce borrowed our army and horses to start an incident, and today he can get the ground in Jiangdong; But I don't think about the fundamentals, but instead ask for the jade seal, which is very rude, what do you think I should do? ”
Everyone was silent, and the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang said: "Sun Ce is in danger of the Yangtze River, and the soldiers are rich in food, and now that the climate has become a success, it is not easy to plan." Now we should attack Liu Bei first, in order to repay the hatred of attacking each other for no reason the day before yesterday, and then it is not too late to try to take Sun Ce. The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to offer a plan so that Liu Bei can be captured on the same day. ”
Yuan Yao was overjoyed and said: "I don't know if the plan will come out, I would like to hear it in detail!" ”
Yan Xiang said: "Liu Bei's army is Xiaopei, although it is easy to take, but that Lu Buhu is in Xuzhou, the previous time he was promised gold silk grain and horses, but he has not given it so far, I am afraid that he will help Liu Bei, and now he should let people send food, so that he can not move, then Liu Bei can be captured." In this way, Liu Bei was captured first, and then Tulu Bu was captured, and Xuzhou could also be obtained. ”
Yuan Yao was overjoyed and said: "Yes, if I have Xuzhou, why can't I get Yangzhou?" Where is Han Yin? ”
"The subordinates are here! Listen to the Lord! One person replied and came to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao said: "I have a secret letter, you bet 200,000 yuan of grain and rice, go to Xuzhou to see Lu Bu, be sure to state your intention!" ”
Han Yin nodded and said, "Don't worry, the lord will definitely live up to his trust!" ”
Yang Hong said on the side: "Lord, this Lu Bu is a capricious villain, I'm afraid that he will accept our benefits and favor Liu Bei, that won't be good!" ”
Yuan Yao was still angry with Yang Hong about what happened before: "Close your crow's mouth!" ”
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
Xuzhou itself is near the sea, the farmland is mostly saline-alkali land, the harvest is not high, but it is rich in sea salt, and the fishery is also very developed, it is a trading and distribution center for many merchants, there are many merchants, and natural money is not a problem, now every once in a while Lu Bu will get hundreds of war horses from the horse merchants in the north, this era, with cavalry combat effectiveness is not the same, Lu Bu does not understand the benefits of doing business, But when he saw more and more war horses in the horse farm and soldiers equipped with more and more sophisticated weapons and armor, Lu Bu understood Chen Gong's original intention of encouraging people to do business.
On this day, Lu Bu was feasting the generals in the Assassin's Mansion, and suddenly the soldiers came to report that Yuan Yao had sent an envoy with a large amount of grain and rice to Jin, and Lu Bu was surprised: "What does Yuan Yao mean?" ”
Chen Gong said: "It seems that there must be a request for you again!" ”
Lu Bu waved his hand: "Take a look!" ”
When I came to the outside of the city, I saw that Han Yin had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Lu Bu, Shi Li said: "Villain Han Yin, I have seen the God of War General!" ”
"Hehe, what a fresh name!" Lu Bu looked at this Han Yin, only to see that the other party had a thief's eyebrows, and at a glance, he knew that he was not a good person, but because of Yuan Yao's envoy, he still smiled and said, "I don't know if Yuan Gong ordered your envoy to come, what advice do you have?" ”
Han Yin saw that Lu Bu was so mighty, and the generals behind him were also extraordinary, and immediately said with a smile: "I don't dare to give advice, the grain and rice promised by the former lord of the god of war to the general could not be sent to the general because Liu Bei blocked it, so this time in order to show sincerity, the special villain came to show goodwill!" ”
Chen Gong sneered: "This is also sincerity? Since there is no Liu Bei blocking the way, why didn't Yuan Gong come by himself? ”
This question was so asked that Han Yin was speechless.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "My military division has always been like this, don't be surprised, Your Excellency, I have prepared a banquet for your envoy in the city, and I specially took the wind and washed the dust for your envoy!" ”
Han Yin followed Lu Bu into Xiapi City, and when he saw Lu Bu's army being strict and solemn, he couldn't help but sigh very envious: "I have heard of Wenhou Shenwu, but when I saw it today, my subordinates are so strong, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals!" ”
Lu Buxi couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Your envoy has won the award, please!" ”
Zhang Liao said to Gao Shun later: "Last time, Yuan Yao promised to send us grain and rice, but he didn't fulfill it for a long time, but this time he got the promise, I think most of them are ghosts!" ”
Gao Shun nodded: "I just hope that General Lu won't covet these small profits!" ”
In the Assassin's Mansion, everyone sat down, and Lu Bu toasted Han Yin and said: "Your envoy has come to work hard, I will do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Han Yin also dried up the wine, looked at the maid who poured wine for him in a daze, and couldn't help but salivate, and when Lu Bu saw it, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Han Yin knew that he was out of shape, quickly wiped his saliva, and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is polite, there is nothing else to do when I come this time, my lord hopes that Wen Hou can follow the agreement and destroy Liu Bei together, this Liu Bei is just a nobody, he has repeatedly offended my lord, if he leaves it alone, it will not only be a big trouble for the lord, but I am afraid that it will also be unfavorable to Wen Hou, right?" ”
Lu Bu didn't say anything, Chen Gong had already taken the first step and said: "This is a bad word, my lord and Lord Liu Bei have a brotherhood, how can they kill each other?" ”
Lu Bu was stunned, very strange how Chen Gong's attitude towards Liu Bei suddenly changed.
Han Yin said embarrassedly: "My father-in-law specially prepared 200,000 taels of grain and rice for the sake of friendship......
Chen Gong interrupted: "This is just an alliance between my lord and Lord Liu Bei, and such a clumsy strategy is too ridiculous and generous!" ”
Lu Bu shouted in a low voice: "Gongtai! ”
Cold sweat broke out on Han Yin's forehead, and he kept wiping it and said: "Master Military Master is really powerful, my lord really wants to be good friends with Wen Hou, I don't know what Wen Hou wants?" ”
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuan Gong's good intentions are difficult, although Liu Bei is my sibling, but Yuan Gong also treats me well, so you can rest assured!" ”
Chen Gong said loudly: "The lord can't believe Yuan Yao's words, think about it carefully, if Yuan Yao kills Liu Bei, who will be the next one to deal with?" Isn't it you, the lord? ”
Everyone was taken aback, and Lu Bu was even more surprised, he smiled awkwardly at the stunned Han Yin, and then asked Xiang Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you have always been a cautious person, how can you say such bold words today?" ”
Han Yin also smiled: "Yes, yes, the military advisor must have drunk too much!" ”
"You're drinking too much!" Chen Gong said angrily at Han Yin, "I am a very cautious person, and today is no exception, because Your Excellency will not get out of this Assassin Mansion alive!" Saying that, he drew his sword in his hand, and was about to rush towards Han Yin.
How could Han Yin expect that Chen Gong would stab when he said that he would stab, and he was immediately so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, and the rest of the people didn't know Chen Gong's intentions, or Lu Bu reacted and stopped Chen Gong: "What are you doing on the public stage?" ”
Chen Gong was furious: "Lord, Yuan Yao wants you and Liu Bei to kill each other, and then benefit from it, you can't be confused!" As he spoke, he kept winking at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was originally confused, but when he saw Chen Gong blinking, he knew that there must be a deep meaning, so he said to Han Yin: "Liu Bei is my sibling, and I can't kill each other, but Yuan Gong treats me kindly, and I can't fail to repay it, so it's good, if Liu Bei and Yuan are soldiers, I won't interfere!" ”
Han Yin had already run outside the door, and when he heard Lu Bu say this, he was relieved: "This is very good, I will go back immediately to tell the lord, Wen Hou has taken his leave!" ”
Lu Bu deliberately said: "Your envoy stays, I haven't taken out the cellar wine yet!" ”
Chen Gong also said loudly: "Why is the lord so confused, let me kill this villain!" As he spoke, he continued to dance with the sword in his hand.
"Thank you Wenhou Meiyi, it seems that there is no blessing in the future!" Han Yin didn't dare to look back as he spoke, and went out on the horse, leaving only Lu Bu and the generals in the Assassin's Mansion laughing.
Zhang Liao said: "The military advisor acted too much like it just now, and he bluffed us all!" ”
Chen Gong put away the sword and sat back on the seat, and said to Lu Bu: "Although it is acting, half of it is true, the lord can't trust Yuan Yao alone, but he can't trust Liu Bei alone, everything has to be considered for himself." ”
Lu Bu nodded: "What the public platform said is true, in your opinion, how should it be?" ”
Chen Gong said: "A tripod, there are three legs to stand, less one, will inevitably fall to the ground, the lord's relationship with Liu Bei and Yuan Yao is the same, the lord must try to let Yuan Yao and Liu Bei fight, our fishermen benefit, which one is weak, which one is weak, which one is strong to help the other to fight which, so it will not be long, it must be the lord who sits big!" ”
Lu Bu smiled: "Awesome, so in this case, we are going to help Liu Bei?" ”
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Not really, if the lord helps Liu Bei, he will eat Yuan Yao's mouth too short, and he will lose a lot!" ”
Lu Bu said unhappily: "This can't be done, that's not possible, what is it going to do?" ”
Chen Gong laughed and said: "Don't worry, the lord is not in a hurry, carefully speaking, the biggest threat to the lord is actually Liu Bei, Liu Bei is a person with great ambitions, and he is a fierce general of Zhang Er, which cannot be underestimated, plus Xiao Pei is adjacent to Cao Cao's Yanzhou ......."
Zhang Liao was surprised: "Is the military advisor saying that Liu Bei may defect to Cao Cao?" ”
