Although Yuan Shu does not learn and has no skills, it does not mean that he is a fool, there are so many cards in his hand that can be used, even if he can't make the best use of things, at least he can use it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And with the aging of the previous generation of the Yuan family and the change of the core of the Yuan family's power, Yuan Shu also realized that as the next successor of the Yuan family, it was time for him to start making preparations.

Therefore, Yuan Shu is ready to transform his private forces, that is, private soldiers who are secretly raised.

However, these private soldiers were originally a group of ruffians and hooligans in Luoyang City, who were used to retaliate, and there was nothing wrong with doing some stealing chickens and dogs, but they could only do these little things, and they could not be expected to give themselves more help.

As a result, Yuan Shu began to imitate the Yuan family's private soldier system, and deployed many subordinates from the Yuan family, broke up and mixed with the original private soldiers, and strengthened his control over the private soldiers.

Later, Yuan Shu found a lot of scribes and made them small leaders among the private soldiers, which can also be said to be staff officers, to ensure that the private soldiers would not act blindly when performing tasks.

At the suggestion of some scribes, Yuan Shu also began to implement hierarchical management, dividing private soldiers into three levels and establishing a secrecy mechanism.

By the way, Yuan Shu originally wanted to recruit assassins and killers, but after being warned by Yuan Feng, Yuan Shu is still just an ordinary official, and recruiting special categories of doormen without authorization is easy to be targeted by people with intentions, so Yuan Shu can only choose to give up.

However, Yuan Shu still thought that his perfect private soldier transformation plan had been successful, but he didn't know that it was a failure.

Liu Xin learned from Yuan Shao that this Chen Tao had just come to Luoyang from Xuzhou to defect to Yuan Shu, so he could be sure that Chen Tao's loyalty to Yuan Shu was not high.

Coupled with the conversation between Cao Cao and Chen Tao just now, Liu Xin can be sure that Chen Tao did not dare to betray Yuan Shu because of his family.

In other words, Chen Tao's loyalty to Yuan Shu was based on the safety of his family.

On the other hand, Liu Xin also vaguely guessed Yuan Shu's private soldier transformation plan, and knew that the two undercover agents originally arranged by Yuan Shao were likely to lose their due effect.

So as a precaution, Liu Xin is ready to develop Chen Tao into a new undercover agent.

Liu Xin told Cao Cao and Yuan Shao his thoughts, and Cao Cao was surprised.

Cao Cao said with some worry: "Big brother, your plan is a little too risky, this Chen Tao was originally Yuan Shu's person, and you have also seen that Chen Tao's loyalty to Yuan Shu is quite high, plus Chen Tao is still a cultural person, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not use some crooked brains, in case he first pretends to promise us to become our undercover agent, and then as soon as he returns to Yuan Shu's side, he will tell our plan and discernment, as long as Yuan Shu is smarter, he will know that let Chen Tao continue to go undercover on our side, how can we trust Chen Tao at that time?" ”

Yuan Shao also nodded, and said with some scruples: "Yes, although Yuan Shu is ambitious and talented, but after all, he is the son of the Yuan family, and he also has a lot of strategists around him, especially a scholar named Yang Hong, his resourcefulness is very strong, as far as I know, many of Yuan Shu's recent actions are Yang Hong's ideas." ”

Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Yang Hong had already invested in Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Yang Hong can be said to be the first strategist under Yuan Shu, and in Liu Xin's view, Yang Hong is also one of the few strategists in the Three Kingdoms who did not give full play to his true ability and was underestimated.

Yang Hong's true ability should be at the level of a first-class strategist, if it weren't for the fact that he met a master like Yuan Shu, who was ambitious and talented, stubborn and self-serving, and liked to be dead, he forcibly suppressed Yang Hong's ability to the level of a second-rate strategist.

However, although he knew that Yang Hong had joined Yuan Shu's subordinates, Liu Xin did not feel that his plan would be seen through by Yang Hong.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, let me explain the plan first, my plan is like this, let's escort Chen Tao and the others back to Luoyang first, and then tell them that we will interrogate them one by one in a closed room, and they can confess the mastermind behind the scenes at this time, we will not only let them live, but also keep them secret, so that they can shake their psychological defense, especially Chen Tao." ”

"Chen Tao, as the small leader of this group of people, must know that these people under his command cannot keep secrets under such conditions, so he will choose to tell the secret nine times out of ten, and I will appear when the time comes."

"After all, Chen Tao is the son of a businessman, a businessman is profitable, the reason why he defected to Yuan Shu is either to ask for a background, or to ask Yuan Shu to take care of his family's caravan, we can give it to him, and then Chen Tao will choose to cooperate with us and become our new undercover agent."

Yuan Shao nodded, still a little uneasy and said: "Big brother, although your plan sounds good, it is inevitably a little too idealistic, knowing people and faces, but not hearts, how can we be sure that Chen Tao is sincerely working for us?" What's more, you also said that businessmen are very profitable, since Chen Tao can serve us for the sake of interests, then he can choose to betray us and work for Yuan Shu again because Yuan Shu offered a higher price! ”

Cao Cao also nodded, and said: "Second brother is right, and big brother, don't forget, according to your plan, these people should all confess Yuan Shu's name, and then we will have to release them all, among them, there will definitely be someone who will tell Yuan Shu about this, Yuan Shu will know that these people who have been released are all people who betrayed him, and when the time comes, with Yuan Shu's suspicious character, I am afraid that he will no longer believe in Chen Tao, and even drive Chen Tao away, and then this plan will fail properly!" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said seriously: "Second brother and third brother, I am prepared for what you said, first of all, let's talk about the third brother's problem, we can create a mess, as well as a bitter plan." ”

"First of all, we will be the first to interrogate Chen Tao, and after we are sure that he will take refuge in us, I will use special means, that is, the disguise technique, to make his body appear all kinds of scars and bruises after being tortured, so that Chen Tao is a person who would rather die than give in and be loyal to Yuan Shu in the eyes of others."

"Then we will interrogate two or three more people, and then create a chaos, such as a fire, so that they can all escape, so that when they return to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will only blame the few people who were interrogated after Chen Tao, and Chen Tao will be valued by Yuan Shu, after all, as long as Yuan Shu is not stupid, he knows that this is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, not to mention that even if Yuan Shu is really stupid, those strategists behind him will remind him to buy people's hearts!"
