That night, a book of arrows was shot at Juchao Nanguan.

The night guard picked it up and presented it to Ji Ling, and Ji Ling hurriedly sent Yuan Wei Xingyuan.

Yuan Wei held the arrow book in his hand and asked Ji Lingdao: "Old general, where did this come from?" ”

Ji Ling replied, "It was a moment ago that someone shot up the Nanguan Tower from outside the city. ”

Yuan Wei frowned, took the silk book from the arrow shaft, and then unfolded it, however, Yuan Wei only looked at Liao Liao's few lines and immediately changed his face, and Ji Ling and Liu Ye's hearts immediately hung up.

Yuan Wei hurriedly finished reading it, and handed the silk book to Liu Ye without saying a word.

Ji Ling's heart was itching, but he could only wait for Liu Ye to finish reading it before giving it to him.

After Ji Ling finished reading it, he lost his voice and said: "Ma Zhong, the general of the Taishi Ci Department, wants to surrender to the son?" ”

This arrow book, but it turned out to be Tai Shici's subordinate Ma Zhong shot, the letter said that Sun Ce was cruel and unkind, abusing the tribe, Ma Zhong decided to abandon the Sun family to join the Yuan family, and agreed to raise fire as a code tomorrow night, Ma Zhong led the Qingzhou soldiers to think that it was an internal response, opened the gate and let the Yuan army iron cavalry go straight to Sun Ce's Chinese army tent, and kill Sun Ce!

Yuan asked Liu Ye, "Ziyang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ye groaned and said: "This matter, it is difficult to argue whether it is true or false, but with common sense, the possibility of fraud is extremely great!" ”

Yuan Wei immediately said: "But if it weren't for the fraudulent surrender, we would have missed an excellent opportunity to hit the Sun clan hard!" ”

If Ma Zhong's surrender is true, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for counterattack, if Ma Zhong can be the internal response, whether Yuan will personally lead the cavalry to raid at night, then it will definitely be able to hit the Jiangdong army hard, maybe it can really kill Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and at the same time make the 30,000 Jiangdong army outside the nest city collapse.

If this is the case, he Yuan will not need to go to Jizhou, and he can directly take Yangzhou.

Although Liu Yeding's strategy is to go north to Jizhou, and Yuan No's original intention is also to go north, if the situation changes suddenly and there is a better choice, why do you have to go north to Jizhou? In the final analysis, going to Jizhou is only a means of survival rather than an end, and the fundamental purpose of going to Jizhou is to dominate the world.

Since you can achieve your goal by staying in Yangzhou, why bother going to Jizhou?

Therefore, it is really difficult for Yuan Wei to refuse this temptation, such a result is really too tempting!

Ji Ling said in a deep voice: "Childe, the old minister also agrees with Mr. Ziyang's opinion, Ma Zhong is most likely a fraudulent surrender. ”

Yuan Wei also agreed with Liu Ye's judgment, but after all, there was still a trace of thought in his heart, and he did not give up immediately.

At that moment, Yuan Fu withdrew Liu Ye and Ji Ling, and then returned to the back hall alone, Yuan No was actually waiting, waiting for Xiao Mifeng he released to send back the news as soon as possible, if what Ma Zhong said in his letter was true, such a big thing, there will be accurate news back later.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Wei returned to the back hall and sat down, Xiao Ruoliu hurriedly came in.

Because of the rush, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Ruoliu's pretty nose, but it looked particularly cute, Xiao Ruoliu gasped and said, "Childe, there is news from Little Bee No. 1." ”

Yuan Wei stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the secret letter?" Bring it to me. ”

Xiao Ruoliu took out a thin bamboo tube from his belt, unscrewed the lid, and took out a small roll from the hollow bamboo tube.

This small roll is made of extremely thin light yarn, a small roll, but when unfolded, it is enough to see the square, but there is nothing on it.

Xiao Ruoliu was not in a hurry, and immersed the white yarn in the water, and after a while, the handwriting was revealed on it.

Yuan Que took out the white yarn again and flattened it on the desk, but it gave a detailed account of what happened in the Jiangdong Army camp last night, and after reading it, Yuan Que couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Zhang Niucal is also a loyal man, but he committed suicide like this.

However, one thing is certain, Ma Zhong is not lying!

Moreover, Sun Cecane scolded Ma Zhong, which was indeed for a reason, not a fraud.

In the final analysis, it was also Zhou Yu's design that was too unique, even Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong generals were also hidden, although Yuan Wei was also like Liu Ye, he was suspicious, but he was just suspicious.

Suspicion, on the other hand, is not enough to come up with evidence for judgment.

At that moment, Yuan Wei withdrew Xiao Ruoliu again, and then summoned Liu Ye and Ji Ling in.

"Ziyang, old general, what Ma Zhong said in the book is all true." As soon as he saw the two of them, Yuan Wei said, "Zhang Niuqian committed suicide, and Sun Ce scolded Ma Zhong because of this." ”

Ji Ling was surprised and asked, "Why is Childe so sure?" ”

Yuan Wei said: "The old general Hugh should be suspicious, I have an exact source. ”

Ji Ling and Liu Ye glanced at each other, and didn't say anything more, from leaving Shouchun to now, a few months have passed quietly, and now Ji Ling doesn't dare to challenge Yuan No's authority, of course, then again, if Yuan No's perverse behavior, Ji Ling will still make a direct admonition, who will make him temperamental?

But this time, Yuan Nuo obviously did not go against the grain.

Ji Ling believed that Yuan did not have an exact source.

Because in the past ten days, Yuan Wei selected more than a dozen young orphans from the homeless people, and stayed in Xingyuan every day, so that Xiao Ruoliu could teach them to read and calculate, but this was obviously cultivating meticulous work.

Perhaps, there is Yuan's fine work in the Jiangdong army?

Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Childe, even if what Ma Zhong said is true, it may be a bitter trick. ”

Yuan Wei nodded subconsciously, speaking of which, Zhou Yu has a history of bitter meat schemes, in the Red Cliff War, Zhou Yu once used Huang Gai to play a bitter meat scheme, and as a result, Cao Cao's army of 830,000 was burned! Oh, no, this is not called an antecedent, after all, the Chibi War is far from breaking out at this time.

Even, whether there is a Chibi War in this time and space is unknown.

Therefore, Ma Zhong's surrender may really be Zhou Yu's bitter plan.

But the problem is that the benefits of Ma Zhong's surrender are too great for Yuan to refuse.

There is a risk-reward ratio to everything, and as long as the returns are large enough, it is totally worth taking some risks!

If you want to talk about danger, isn't it dangerous to go north to Jizhou? Leading a lone army through the territory of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life of nine deaths, how dangerous can it be?

However, when it comes to income, the income from going north to Jizhou is far less high than the night attack on Jiangdong camp!

Going north to Jizhou, even if everything goes well, the most ideal result is to be a Liaodong county guard, and then Xu Tu develops, as for the future, it is too far away, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

It is said that Zhuge Kongming, who is wise and close to the demon, set a three-step plan for Liu Bei to revive the Han family as early as when he was in Longzhong, but people are not as good as heaven, and he only took two steps and went wrong, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling in order to avenge Guan Yu, so that the vitality of Shu Han was greatly damaged, resulting in the third step of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains directly stillborn.

Therefore, going north to Jizhou may not be able to do everything as Yuan No and Liu Ye wished.

And if the night attack on Jiangdong camp is successful, he Yuan will be able to replace Sun Ce in Yangzhou immediately!

Compared with the two, going north to Jizhou and defecting to Yuan Shao immediately became unattractive.

Of course, then again, if Yuan Ce wants to enter Yangzhou, there must be a big premise, that is, while killing Sun Ce, he must also kill Zhou Yu by the way, otherwise, if Sun Ce is killed alone, but Zhou Yu is unscathed, then Yuan Won's wishful thinking will be completely frustrated, because Sun Ce also has a younger brother named Sun Quan.

With Zhou Yu's assistance, Sun Quan was no less dangerous than Sun Ce.

But even so, Yuan still thinks it's worth the risk.

Whether it can be done or not, you have to try to know, right?

At that moment, Yuan Wei said: "Old general, Ziyang, no matter whether Ma Zhong surrenders by fraud or by truth, I am determined to send troops!" ”

Ji Ling was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Childe can't, this matter is too strange, and Childe can't take risks." ”

Liu Ye guessed Yuan No's heart, knowing that Yuan Quan couldn't resist the huge temptation, and he knew that persuasion was useless, so he followed Yuan No's meaning and said: "If the son has to go, he must go together." ”

Yuan looked at Liu Ye and didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was to say that you can do it?

Liu Ye said angrily: "Son, don't underestimate people, you need to know that you have also killed Zheng Bao at the banquet!"

"Well, I really forgot about it." Yuan Wei then remembered that Liu Ye was not a weak scholar, but a talented man who fought with swords, and immediately said, "Okay, Ziyang can go together." ”

Ji Ling also wanted to go with him, but let Yuan Wei stop him.
