Seeing that Yuan seemed to be tired, everyone turned around and retired.

Yuan Wei said: "Ziyin, don't be in a hurry to leave first, someone has something to say." ”

Yan Xiang turned back again, gave Yuan Wei a long look, and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Zhang Zhao, the captain of the Sun clan, is dead!" Yuan Wei smiled, not without smugness.

"How could Zhang Zhao be so dignified......" Before Yan Xiang finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "Childe, so you went to Chaohu Lake this time, the hunting is fake, is it true to kill Zhang Zhao?" ”

"Yes, so-and-so killed Zhang Zhao." Yuan Fu flicked his sleeves and said, "Now that Zhang Zhao is dead, if there is no accident, Sun's Tuntian will inevitably be in chaos within half a month, but we can't wait, you will order someone to spread the news, just say that Zhang Zhao, the captain of Huainan Tuntian, is dead, and Chaohu Tuntian will inevitably fail in the near future." ”

"Under the command." Yan Xiang said excitedly, "As soon as this news is released, those who hoard the heroes of the Juqi clan will inevitably be frightened, at the moment there are no less than twenty of the scholars gathered in the nest, and the hoarded grain has exceeded 100,000 stones, if another news is spread in the next place, saying that the land that can be sold in the nest is only three or five thousand hectares, then the wolf has more meat and less meat, and they will definitely not be able to hold their breath!" Its offensive and defensive alliance will definitely collapse between the backhand! ”

Yuan struck the knot and said: "Good, just do it." ”

Having said so much, Yuan Wei is really tired now.

Yan Xiang got up and retired, and went back to spread the news.

In the afternoon of the same day, two shocking news spread among the scholars and heroes of Lujiang.

The first news said that Zhang Zhao, the captain of Tuntian under Sun Ce's account, suddenly fell ill and died of a sudden illness due to overwork, and at present, Sun's Tuntian affairs in Chaohu have become a pot of porridge.

Another source said that because of the shortage of manpower, the shortage of materials, and especially the lack of officials, Gongzi decided to reduce the scale of the tuntian fields in the nest, and the 20,000 hectares of paddy fields originally planned to be reclaimed will be reduced to 10,000 hectares, and the newly reclaimed paddy fields will be sold to the outside world of less than 5,000 hectares.

Hearing the news, the warrior Haoqiang who gathered in Juchao City rushed to Fan's Dock Fort as soon as possible.

Although the Fan clan is also a big clan in Lujiang, its reputation has not been good, and the reason why the warrior clan Haoqiang who gathered in Juchao County this time gathered at Fan's Dock Fort for the first time is because they know that behind the Fan clan is the county guard Liu Xun, to put it bluntly, this offensive and defensive alliance was convened by Liu Xun at the behest of Fan Yang.

At this moment, the living room of Fan's Mansion was already noisy.

"Mrs. Fan, it's troublesome, it's troublesome now!"

"Fan Taigong, as soon as Zhang Zhao dies, Chaohu will inevitably be in chaos."

"Chaohu is in chaos, but we can't use the Sun family to blackmail the son."

"What's worse is that because of the shortage of manpower and the shortage of officials, did Gongzi decide to reduce the scale of the tuntian, and it was clear that the acres of land sold to the outside world were reduced to 5,000 hectares, but how can such acres of land be enough for us to share?"

"Yes, yes, it's hard for us to ride a tiger now, what do you say?"

More than twenty powerful family heads or stewards gathered in the hall and shouted in a ball.

"Everyone, don't panic, don't panic, and listen to the old man." Fan Yang waved his hand again and again, suppressed the quarrel of everyone, and continued, "Everyone, these two pieces of news have appeared so strangely, the old man dares to assert that this must be a small trick by Gongzi, and his intention is nothing more than to break up our offensive and defensive alliance, and we must not fall for him." ”

"Childe's trick? Not really. Someone objected, saying, "Zhang Zhao's violent death is such a big thing, let's just send someone to Chaohu to inquire about it, won't everything be clear?" Isn't Childe stupid enough to make such a rumor? ”

"There's no need to inquire about this." Another Haoqiang said, "Zhang Zhao is indeed dead. ”

The one who spoke was Haoqiang from Shu County, Shu County was close to Chaohu Lake, and he was able to learn the news of Chaohu Lake for the first time.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on his face, that Haoqiang said again: "There is a younger brother who is working as an official under Zhang Zhao's account, and my father has just sent an urgent letter, Zhang Zhao has indeed died violently!" ”

Everyone's eyes returned to Fan Yang's face, waiting for Fan Yang to make an idea.

Fan Yang frowned and said: "Everyone, even if Zhang Zhao is dead, Sun's Tuntian may not necessarily fail, not to mention that the grain is in our hands, even if we don't take it to buy the field, it won't rot, but Yuan Nuo has no grain in his hands, and he can't continue to Tuntian without food, so it's Yuan Nuo who should be anxious, not us, and you can't mess with yourself." ”

Everyone nodded, but their eyes flickered, and they didn't know what was going on in their hearts.

Fan Yang was a little worried, and then said: "For the sake of the mountain, you have not read the allusion to the failure, and you must have heard that the wrestling between us and Yuan Nuo has reached the most critical moment, only the last basket of soil can bury Yuan Nuo, at this time, if anyone dares to make a moth, it is to cut himself off from Lujiang!" ”

Everyone only chattered, and they didn't even dare to say it.

A party ended unhappily.

Fan Yang's second son, Fan Jian, sent away these warrior heroes who came to visit, and came back to ask Fan Yang: "Father, do you really think that the son will give in?" ”

Fan Yang snorted coldly and said: "I don't know if the son will give in to his father, but for the father to know, as soon as Zhang Zhao dies, the future of the Sun family's Tuntian is not good, and the future of the Sun family's Tuntian is not good, then the scholars of Lujiang County will not be able to last until the end, and they will definitely lose their sincerity to the son in secret!" ”

"Huh?" Fan Jian lost his voice and said, "What can I do then?" As soon as they lose their sincerity, won't the offensive and defensive alliance be broken? What is the use of relying on our Fan family's persistence alone? Father, we can't afford to suffer this loss. ”

"They're not stupid, and we're not stupid." Fan Yang said, "Jian'er, in this way, you will go to the master of the nest, Bo Yanxiang, and go to the nest mansion Kuritun for five hundred stones, no, two thousand stones of grain!" Remember, you must be secretive, and you must not let others know, otherwise it will not be easy for Liu Junshou to explain there. ”

"Son, I'll do it." Fan Jian took the order and went.

Early the next morning, Yan Xiang came to Yuan Fu's line in a hurry.

"Childe, hehe, they lost sincerity, they lost sincerity! The scholars of Lujiang County have lost their sincerity to us, hehe. Yan Xiang couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, rushed into Yuan Weixingyuan, and said with his hands dancing.

"Ziyin, don't get carried away." Yuan Wei smiled, "Be careful and be happy and sad." ”

Yan Xiang also realized his gaffe, smiled at the moment, and said with some sneer: "Childe, I'm so happy in the next place, you don't know, after the news spread, those powerful patriarchs or stewards of the scholar clan couldn't sit still, and they came to the lower government office, which is funny, at first they were still secretive, lest other families find out, but then when they saw that all families were like this, they no longer had any scruples, and almost didn't crowd the government office below, and they also kept busy under them, and they never stopped when they arrived, and they didn't even care about eating dinner, hehe." ”

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, which is also expected." Yuan Wei sneered, and then said, "Ziyin, how much grain did the treasury receive last night?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "Hui Gongzi, last night there were 26,800 stones of rice, 8,400 stones of millet rice, 3,640 stones, 168 ploughing cattle, and 4,600 pieces of farm tools. ”

Yuan did a silent calculation and asked Yan Xiang: "With these grains, ploughing cattle, and farm tools, should the tuntian be enough, right?" ”

"Childe, enough is enough, enough is enough!" Yan Xiang said happily, "With so much grain, enough for the nesting homeless people to support until the beginning of spring next year, although it will be at least until September and October when the field is built, it is too late to sow spring grain, but planting some sparse vegetables, melons, fruits and beans in the field is enough to support until next year's autumn grain is down, and when next year's autumn grain comes, our Yuan family will no longer have to worry about food shortage, hehehe." ”

Yuan Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, he knew that this catastrophe caused by food could be regarded as surviving.

However, this does not mean that the Yuan Group has gained a firm foothold in Lujiang, after all, Tuntian has not yet been completed, although the scholars of Lujiang have paid the grain in advance, but they have not yet got the land, only by handing over tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land to the hands of the scholars, this merit can be regarded as complete, and the Yuan Group can be regarded as truly gaining a firm foothold.
