(Mu \ Disabled \ Literature \ Learning:) Ren Jun probably knows some about the belonging of the Red Eagle Rider, and most of them have joined the Cao clan with Gao Ran. Now he is waiting for Cao Gong's arrangement of this secret force, according to reliable sources, Cao Gong wants to integrate these elite soldiers into Jing'an Cao, and form a hidden force that can completely compete with the shadow of the Ma family.

But among the 2,000 Red Eagle Riders, there were still 500 dead soldiers, because they received the great favor of the Yuan family, and they swore to die not to agree to Gao Ran's rebellion. A small part of them killed themselves to thank Yuan Shao, while the other part secretly infiltrated Yuan Tan's men in Qingzhou and continued to serve the Yuan family.

After the assassination, Yuan Shao was already in the hands of Cao Gong at that time, that is, if Yuan wanted to assassinate Cao Gong, it could only be ordered by Yuan Tan. In addition, Yuan Tan quickly organized 40,000 troops to attack Jizhou after the assassination, which made Yuan Tan's current suspicion rise to a very high level.

Militarily, Yuan Tan is not too good except for being strong and easy to kill; In terms of resourcefulness, he is only a Chinese resource, relying more on the brains around him; However, when it comes to this assassination, Yuan Tan is very likely to complete the manipulation. After all, Wending City was once under the rule of the Yuan family, and the Red Eagle Cavalry was even more familiar with the terrain, if these Red Eagle Cavalry blended into the Cao camp with the help of Zeng Paoze, it would be completely possible to achieve the effect of that day.

Thinking of this, Ren Jun's brows couldn't help but lock deeply. Everything seems logical and theoretically makes perfect sense. But the more this happened, the more Ren Jun felt that it was too simple. What's more, during this time, a very delicate incident occurred: in order to retreat Yuan Tan's 40,000 remnants, Cao Gong did not send troops to resist as usual. Instead, the Son of Heaven asked Yuan Tan for the titles of Qingzhou Mu and Zhendong General. At the same time, in order to appease Yuan Tan's heart, Cao Gong once again made a promise to marry his daughter to Yuan Tan, and support Yuan Tan to be the orthodoxy of the Yuan family, openly competing with the Yuan family controlled by the Ma family.

Poor Yuan Tan is such a short-sighted person, under the pressure of Cao Cao's order to Xuzhou's Zang Hong and the general Tian Kai to lead 20,000 troops to attack the rear of Qingzhou, in the face of the delicious bait put out by Cao Gong in front, he easily chose to take refuge in the Cao family. However, this kind of refuge is not perfect, and the multi-minded Yuan Tan retains his semi-independent state at this time, only listening to the tune, not to the announcement.

Intuition told Ren Jun that the matter should be stopped when it was found out - if it continues to investigate, it is very likely to uncover the scars between the Cao family and Yuan Tan that no one wants to talk about, and it will drag the situation in the entire Central Plains into an unknowable whirlpool.

"Now you understand why I said you don't know anything, right?" Xu Chu asked Ren Jun.

Ren Jun nodded understandingly, no wonder Xu Chu dared to reveal the information of today, and he also wanted to hide that there was still Yuan Tan behind the scenes. If this detail is to be passed on, the impact is too bad. Not to mention whether Yuan Tan really participated in the assassination, the endless associations of others alone are enough to ruin Cao Gong's hard and soft and painstaking appeasement in Qingzhou.

Xu Chu seems to be much more shrewd than his appearance, and it is really rare for a guard to be able to consider problems from this height.

"Does Gong Cao know about this?"

Xu Chu shook his head: "Cao Gong was suffering from the momentum of the Ma Jiajun's repeated attacks at that time, and I only hoped that this assassination would end as an ordinary and simple case, so as not to cause extraneous trouble." ”

"But now you find that this is not something that you can afford as a little lieutenant. If my guess is correct, if Cao Gong hadn't specifically asked me to investigate this matter, would you tell Cao Gong after the battle in Jizhou was over? Ren Jun said with a smile. Xu Chu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Mr. Ren is clever, I really want to plan like this." ”

"But Cao Gong's sense of smell is much sharper than ours, if you don't say it, he also asked me to investigate." Ren Jun smiled bitterly, "You also know now that this assassination has contacted the Ma family, the current son and the Yuan family. At present, it seems that the Ma family is the least suspicious, so ....... next"

"I'll go and secretly mobilize the Tiger Guard to inquire in detail about Shi A's previous activities, maybe there will be some discoveries." Xu Chu said, and then stood up.

"Well, that's good. If there were any clues that could be linked to that unit, the matter would have basically exposed the most hidden disguise. However, you have to be cautious, Cao Gong doesn't want everyone to know about this matter. ”

"I see."

Invisibly, the atmosphere in the tent eased. The common pressure turned Ren Jun and Xu Chu from the initial hostility into a delicate alliance. The entire guard is managed by Xu Chu, and it is more efficient for him to investigate than Ren Jun. It's a pity that in the next moment, Ren Jun still hardened his heart and destroyed this atmosphere. Xu Chu was about to leave when he stopped him again.

"General Xu, before leaving, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you." Ren Jun narrowed his eyes, "I think there is still a suspicion here." ”

Xu Chu turned his head, unexpectedly, he didn't show an angry expression.

"General Xu, I know that you have carried a lot after this incident. But can you explain to me why Shi Ah had to listen to Yuan Tan's orders, he was never a member of the Red Eagle Cavalry. And ......" Ren Jun took out the dagger that Cao Cao gave him, threw it to Xu Chu and said: "It is impossible for the Red Eagle Cavalry to have such a weapon, so I judge that Yuan Tan cannot be the mastermind of this incident." ”

"Huh?" Xu Chu's doubts were very heavy, and he wrinkled his thick eyebrows, this small action showed that he was surprised.

"So, General Xu, as subordinates, we don't have to worry too much about the relationship between the Cao family and the Han family. Although you deliberately led me to the Son of Heaven, you didn't expect that there was really the shadow of the Son of Heaven in this. When Ren Jun said this, he deliberately paused for a moment: "I understand your expectations of Cao Gongbao, in fact, many Cao generals also have such thoughts. But as you can see now, this kind of thing is not something that we people can participate in. ”

Ren Jun's words can be said to be bitter, and he said it at an absolutely appropriate time. Xu Chu's majestic and burly body shook slightly, and then respectfully saluted Ren Jun, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ren's words, I have written it down." Over the years, I've thought about things I shouldn't have thought about too much. ”

"Okay," Ren Jun didn't expect that he would come to Xu Chu to untie a knot in Xu Chu's heart, and after seeing that Xu Chu really understood those truths, he continued: "To get back to business, I feel that in this matter, it is unlikely that both Your Majesty and Yuan Tan will complete such an assassination independently. Make a bold assumption, if this assassination is successful, who will benefit the most? ”

"Ma family!" Xu Chu said this almost without thinking.

"Yes, we have always believed that the Ma family has the motivation and ability, but it is unlikely that we know the specific location of Cao Gong. And now all the evidence also points out that this matter does not seem to have much to do with the Ma family. Ren Jun narrowed his eyes, he had already fallen into his own assumptions: "In addition to the Ma family, Yuan Tan is the second beneficiary, and he can be the same as the Ma family, taking advantage of the chaos of the Cao family to profit from it." Of course, the most hidden is still our Majesty, and there is no doubt that he may also take advantage of the emptiness of the Cao Clan's central space this time and the Quartet cannot take care of it, and suddenly announce his departure from the Cao Clan......."

"This assassination is really confusing." Ren Jun shook his head, as if he had dispelled the previous assumptions, but seemed to have found a new direction: "As soon as Cao Gong dies, the entire Central Plains and East will be reshuffled." And if Cao Gong escaped this assassination by luck, all the evidence points to Yuan Tan and His Majesty, who have nothing to do with the Ma family. The relationship between Cao Gong, Yuan Tan and His Majesty fell into a state of tension and suspicion. In other words, regardless of the success or failure of the assassination, the Ma family can obtain huge benefits. ”

"That guy Yuan Tan really can't be the black hand who leads this conspiracy. Calculated in this way, is the Ma family's conspiracy too perfect, or is that person really having bad intentions when Cao Gong was worried about internal and external troubles? Although Ren Jun didn't let Xu Chu worry about other things, he didn't realize at this time that he was already deeply involved in it.

And Xu Chu seemed to catch up with Ren Jun's train of thought, and he grabbed the short knife in his hand more tightly, as if he was going to cut down the main messenger in the dark. Mu ^ remnant ^ text ^ study (), if you think it's good, press ctrl+D to collect this book!
