“？？？”

After Yuan Yao reacted that he was likely to be calculated by Zhuge Xuan, his first decision was not to send troops to Hua Xin's territory quickly, but to attack a messenger, which made Zhang Zhao a little inexplicable.

Seeing Zhang Zhao looking at him with an inquiring look on his face, Yuan Yao said with a little weakness: "Zhuge Jin secretly used clever tricks and plotted against him in the name of being an envoy, how could this general tolerate him, in order to avoid another incident, it would be better to take it down!" ”

Zhang Zhao was puzzled: "Even so, what's the use of taking down the next messenger?" Moreover, the two countries do not fight each other, and the lord may hinder his reputation by acting like this. ”

Yuan Yaoqiang argued: "I didn't plan to kill him, I just temporarily detained him for fear that he would run away......"

Zhang Zhao still wondered: "Even so, it is a violation of the rules, if this matter is spread out, who will dare to send us in the future?" If our messenger is taken down, will he not have nothing to say? If the lord is not worried about this person, he will drive him away, so why bother to be a messenger because of a small loss! ”

"This ......" Yuan Yao was a little speechless, it was impossible to drive people away, since he knew that it was Zhuge Jin who came, he had already begun to think about how to leave this cattle man, and now he was just taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Leaving Zhuge Jin naturally wanted to subdue him, although the situation is unlikely for the time being, as long as the people are kept first, and then Zhuge Xuan's thoughts about Yuzhang are broken, then for the Zhuge family, it is a good choice to have a son who can become a member of the Yuan family.

These families have always been like this, they will not put their eggs in one basket, otherwise Zhuge Xuan led Zhuge Liang's family to move to Jingzhou for, it is nothing more than to perceive that the world will be chaotic and quickly scatter the eggs.

If it is really to escape the war as said in history, then why not run away with the whole family and leave Zhuge Dan alone?

You must know that after Zhuge Xuan moved away, Zhuge Dan not only lived well in his hometown, but also became the general of the Eastern Expedition in Cao Wei, so how to escape.

In history, Zhuge this big family relied on the policy of dividing eggs, and lived the most nourishing in the entire Three Kingdoms, not only the most unknown Zhuge Dan did Cao Wei's general of Zhengdong, but also the well-known Zhuge Liang came out of Shu Han and worshiped the prime minister; Zhuge Jin came out of Eastern Wu, the official worshiped the general, and his son Zhuge Ge also worshiped the prime minister of Eastern Wu!

This family almost didn't catch all the real power of the Three Kingdoms, if they joined forces to play a little tricky, then there might be nothing to do with the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family later.

So how could Yuan Yao, such a big family, let it go, naturally he saw one and caught the other, even if he didn't surrender to death, it was good to lock him up as a pet, so as not to go out and divide the world indiscriminately.

However, this matter is not enough for outsiders, so in the face of Zhang Zhao's questioning, Yuan Yao didn't know how to answer, you can't say that your so-called little envoy is a boss bigger than your official in history.

"What does Zijing think?" Yuan Yaoli was at a loss for words, so he had to secretly glance at Lu Su on the side for help.

"This, it's not very good...... Lu Su said with some embarrassment, as a member of the team who had been kidnapped by Yuan Yao, he knew Yuan Yao's true intentions very well, but Zhuge Jin was indeed an envoy with an official name, and it was still a bit unreasonable to tie someone up like this.

But seeing Yuan Yao's unhappy look, Lu Su had no choice but to continue: "Why don't you put him under house arrest first, and then detain him in the name of plotting misdeeds after it is determined that Zhuge Xuan is really attacking Hua Xin?" ”

"Well, let's just decide, put him under house arrest, and he will not be released without my orders."

Yuan Yao seemed to be reluctant to agree with Lu Su's opinion, and finally added a sentence that he could not be released without his order, Lu Su had no choice but to secretly mourn for his old friend.

Zhang Zhao saw that the other two had unified their opinions, and although his brows were furrowed, he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

Zhuge Jin's fate was thus decided, and he himself did not know what was going to happen now.

Later, the three of them discussed solutions to the current situation, but found that no matter whether Zhuge Xuan played tricks or not, Yuan Yao was afraid that he would have to lead his troops north to support Lujiang.

Because Cai Mao's navy is there, the intelligence shows that there are a lot more warships than his own, otherwise how dare he say that he will block the Yangtze River, but the detailed numbers are still being investigated, but it is already certain that he is not a suspicious soldier.

It is definitely not enough to rely on the existing forces in Lujiang like this, so the crisis on Huaxin's side Yuan Yao can only order someone to quickly summon Tai Shici, inform him of the inferences and opinions here, and then let him make his own choice, after all, the front-line situation is still the most clear to the front-line generals, so Yuan Yao handed over the decision to Tai Shici.

At the same time, Yuan Yao also left a military order to Lu Su, which stated that Sun Ce was summoned to return to the army to support, which was in case of emergency, and whether or when to use it depended on Lu Su's decision.

Lu Su was left in Wanling by Yuan Yao, in addition to continuing the reform, it was to arrange the battle of Yuzhang in the center.

Zhang Zhao was assigned another important task-

Except for Wanling, the other counties did not go smoothly in the matters related to reform, which was expected, and the original plan was to gently use the contradictions of various families to divide and pull the weak to fight or force the strong, that is, the strategy of pulling a group to fight a group like Wanling.

But now that the Jingzhou army has suddenly entered Yuzhang strongly, according to the inference of Lu Su and others, before the two sides decide the victory, the Danyang family is likely to show signs of "looking at the direction of the wind" and then standing in line, at this time, no matter how gently they are co-opted, I am afraid they will be unmoved, and Yuan Yao never wants to see this kind of thing happen, so he decided to take a more powerful approach to make these families obedient.

This method was originally a backup plan that had been discussed, but now it was decided by Yuan Yao to start using it.

The plan was aimed at several families in the two counties near Shanyue who were in collusion with Shanyue, and they were secretly engaged in selling stolen goods for Shanyue, as well as collecting grain to sell to Shanyue.

The reason why Yuan Yao knew about this was because these companies had been the main competitors of Lu Su's acquisition of Danyang's surplus grain share, and Lu Su had already found out their situation.

This time, Yuan Yao decided to take advantage of the fact that Tai Shici's army was near there and had enough strength to deter Xiaoxiao, and sent Zhang Zhao to copy these families to kill chickens and monkeys, and then trumpeted their charges of collaborating with the enemy and financing the enemy, and then used this as an excuse to check the amount of grain stored by all landlord families in Danyang County within a limited time.

In the end, under the pretext of preventing the inflow of grain into Shanyue, grain was forcibly collected into the grain bank, and the rest was reformed as planned.

Yamagoe has always been the sworn enemy of the Jiangdong people, and I don't know how many people's relatives have died at his hands, so this crime is enough to cause public outrage.

This is a rather drastic plan, so I didn't plan to use it after discussing it before, but now that the situation has changed, I'm afraid that mildness is no longer applicable.

As for whether drastic measures will cause drastic consequences, Yuan Yao is not worried, although the troops of Danyang County will be evacuated in the near future, they are all deployed not far from here, and they can be transferred back to support at any time, so they are not afraid of someone rebelling.

Moreover, the farmer Cao of Wanling County has hired tens of thousands of farmers to start farming, and nearly 5,000 tenants have been vacated just by copying the land of the concubine family, and these tenant families have been exempted from the debts owed to the concubine family by Yuan Yao, and they are more grateful to Yuan Yao, and let him arrange it.

Among these tenants, nearly 10,000 people are able to work in agriculture.

Coupled with the human resources of the Tao family and other families, Nongcao's employment will increase, and it is predicted that it will eventually reach about 20,000 people, one-third of the population of Wanling County.

And these manpower are now under the dispatch of Lu Su, and it is also very scary to force him to send a spear by himself, you must know that these people are all Danyang people, the birthplace of Danyang elite soldiers, and they have all worked part-time in the family's private army before, and it is no problem to occasionally make a cameo appearance as a soldier, at least there is no problem in dealing with the rebellion of the family of the same level.

Therefore, with Lu Su sitting in Wanling, Yuan Yao was not very worried about the security problem in Danyang, so he decided to use a more drastic plan to deal with the situation that would arise later.

Otherwise, after the battle of Yuzhang and waiting for the family to consciously stand in line, the ghost knows that it will be wasted for a long time, and if you miss this grain planting period, you will have to wait until next year to harvest, which is equivalent to wasting the precious time of this year, which is intolerable.

Although the so-called signs of "looking at the direction of the wind" are just Lu Su's inferences, no one doubts this, since there is a prediction, then it is necessary for Yuan Yao to make arrangements, it is better than tossing at the end of the day.

The importance of this matter was not much lighter than the future battle, so Yuan Yao handed it over to Zhang Zhao to carry it out.

Yuan Yao led 15,000 troops to support Lujiang, and Chen Wu became his lieutenant to assist him.

Yuan Yao let him plating gold on the pro-soldier supervision for so long, it was time to let him practice.

Lu Su proposed to recall Liu Ye to go on the expedition with Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao refused, because he had a hunch that he might need to go to the battlefield himself this time, and if he brought Liu Ye, he would definitely be stopped by him, and the position of these subordinates was that they would rather be defeated than let Yuan Yao go to danger in person, so he rejected Lu Su's suggestion.

And Lu Su persuaded Yuan Yao to return to Lujiang in order to let him avoid danger, and there should be no problem with Liu Xun and Chen Wu to help him, so he didn't insist.

On the second day, Yuan Yao personally led the army north, and the haze of a great battle shrouded both sides of the Yangtze River, making people feel breathless......
