Chapter 215: More courage than strategy
After some careful consideration, Lu Fan decided to surrender to Yuan Jiang, after all, Yuan Jiang gave him a temptation that he could not refuse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, all this was expected by Yuan Jiang.
Originally, he wanted to absorb Lu Fan into his subordinates as soon as possible, but Yang Hong asked him not to act rashly for the time being.
Because the current Lu Fan is a very good chess piece, as long as he uses it properly, he can give Sun Ce and others a fatal blow.
Not long after Yuan Jiang put this matter aside, he had to worry about another thing - Yang Xu recognized Lu Fan and his wife as godfathers and godmothers.
Although Yuan Jiang is not a relative of the two parties, he is the one who connects him, so he naturally wants to provoke the beam.
Of course, this ceremony was held very simply, except for the parties involved, basically no one knew, after all, the relationship between Lu Fan and Yang Hong could not be exposed now, but Yuan Jiang secretly invited Yuan Shu and his wife.
Yuan Shu and his wife still like Yang Xu very much, so they are willing to be a notary.
It's just that they don't understand why a happy event is so secretive, and Yuan Shu has also asked Yuan Jiang about this matter.
Of course, Yuan Jiang will not tell the truth, but only deduces that Mr. Yang is a low-key person, and he is even more unwilling to be criticized for forming a gang and forming a party for personal gain.
Although Yuan Shu was suspicious, since his beloved son had already said so, he had no reason to continue to ask.
After all, he has a crush on this only son.
In fact, Yuan Shu also had a son named Yuan Yao, who was born five years earlier than Yuan Jiang, but unfortunately, Yuan Yao died early and died at the age of four.
And Yuan Jiang was the son who was accidentally obtained when Yuan Shu was middle-aged, and he experienced the pain of losing a child, so he naturally cared for this hard-won son, and even doted on.
So as long as Yuan Jiang wants to do something, he will basically nod his head in agreement, and he won't ask.
Things went very smoothly, and Yuan Jiang privately promised that after Sun Ce's matter was resolved, he would handle this important matter for Yang Xu and them again.
After sending off the guests, Lu Fan quietly invited Yuan Jiang and Yang Hong into the study, and also beckoned the two henchmen to guard outside the door.
The three of them sat down separately, and Lu Fan watched the tea in person.
After some greetings, Yuan Jiang took the lead in picking up the teacup and saluted the two: "Tu Gao, replace wine with tea here, congratulations to the two of them on getting married." ”
Yang Hong smiled, but said, "Rejoice and rejoice." And Lu Fan said with a smile: "The old man can collect Su'er as his goddaughter today, thanks to Jiang Gongzi's transfer of needles and threads, come on, come, I toast you." ”
The three of them finished drinking the tea in the bowl happily, and Lu Fan suddenly smiled: "I don't know when Jiang Gongzi will become my uncle, I'm looking forward to it." ”
Yuan Jiang knew what he meant, and just laughed dryly.
But Yang Hong pretended to be surprised and said: "Brother Ziheng, isn't Ling'er's girl already married to Buqi's son, why did she come to make peace with our Jiang Gongzi again?" ”
When he said this, Yang Hong had an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
Yuan Jiang, who was still laughing dryly, turned into a snickering smile at this time, and his eyes swept back and forth on Yang Hong and Lu Fan with interest.
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang Hong, I'm talking about Su'er's girl, as for Ling'er, I know that with her character, she can only be allowed to Buguang's stupid boy, if it's someone else, wouldn't it be against the sky?" ”
The three of them laughed when Lu Fan said this, Yuan Jiang didn't want to dwell too much on his emotional affairs, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Mr. Ziheng, I have to wronged you a lot in the past few days." ”
Lu Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where did the son say, since we are a family, we don't speak the words of the two families, and we do things for the son, how can we say that it is hard." ”
Yuan Jiang nodded, exchanged glances with Yang Hong, and said: "Mr. Ziheng, I mean to wronged you to be an undercover agent at Sun Ce first, do you understand that the undercover agent means meticulously, on the surface, you are helping Sun Ce with advice, but in fact, you are collecting intelligence for us." ”
Lu Fan bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of information Gongzi needs?" ”
Yuan Jiang was silent for a while, and said extremely seriously: "The information I need now is how many strategists and generals Sun Ce can poach from my father's hands, and how many soldiers and horses can he take away, I think this matter should not be a difficult thing for Mr. Ziheng." ”
Lu Fan thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's not a difficult thing, I'll look for a chance to investigate, and I think I'll get the answer soon, but I don't know, what method Jiang Gongzi wants to use to stop Sun Ce's departure, after all, this guy has a jade seal in his hand, I heard that Lord Zhou Mu has been thinking about it for a long time, if Sun Ce takes the jade seal as a hostage, I think there is a chance that Lord Zhou Mu will let him go." ”
The corners of Yuan Jiang's mouth hooked up a mysterious smile, "I have already considered this situation. ”
Lu Fan asked suspiciously, "What are your plans?" ”
Yuan Jiang smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "The jade seal is Sun Ce's killer weapon, once he uses it, it is inevitable to leave, not to mention that I am not prepared to let him stay in Huainan forever." ”
Lu Fan hurriedly said: "Son, that's not good, this Sun Ce is a fierce tiger, if he is allowed to leave, it will undoubtedly let the tiger return to the mountain, and the dragon will leave the shallows, and there will be endless troubles." ”
Yang Hong interjected with a smile: "Brother Ziheng, no matter how powerful Sun Bofu is, he is not our Jiang Gongzi's opponent. Don't worry, Gongzi won't let Sun Bofu leave easily. ”
"Oh. What do you mean by that? ”
Lu Fan asked with interest.
Yang Hong didn't talk, but looked at Yuan Jiang in front of him, the latter smiled, and said: "Mr. Ziheng won't hide it from you, what you think, I have already considered it before, and I also know that letting Sun Ce go will have endless troubles, but we have no other way, after all, it is impossible to let Sun Ce stay in Huainan forever, and even if he stays, it will also give birth to a lot of rights and wrongs, so it is better to let him go." ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Jiang paused, cleared his throat again, and continued: "Of course, I won't be stupid enough to let him go so easily, I let you collect information, in order to weaken Sun Ce's strength as much as possible before he leaves, in that case, even if he breaks away from Huainan and is self-reliant, he may not be able to mix with the wind and water." Perhaps, without our intervention, he will be wiped out by other forces, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Lu Fan thought seriously for a while, nodded and said: "Well, this is a good way, Sun Bofu is impatient, brave and not strategic, he can fight the world but can't hold it, if he can weaken the strategists under him, it won't be a big deal to forgive him." ”
Yuan Jiang said with a smile: "This matter still has to be burdened by Mr. Ziheng." ”
