Although Deputy Director Tao knew some local tricks to treat aconitum poisoning, and the Xuzhou military doctors who were instructed and taught by Zhang Zhongjing also did their best, there were still more than 30 Xuzhou soldiers who were poisoned by poisoned arrows because they were poisoned too deeply, and finally died without being rescued, which inevitably affected the morale of the Xuzhou army, which led to rumors within the Xuzhou army, saying that the enemy's medicine arrows were powerful, and as long as they were shot, their whole body would fester, and they would die of festering, which made many recruits feel timid and war-fearful, forcing Deputy Director Tao to personally refute the rumors. It is pointed out that the enemy's poison arrow is just the poison of ordinary aconite, which is expensive and not widely sourced, and it is impossible to use it in large quantities for a long time, and even if it is poisoned, as long as it is rescued in time, it can still be treated and cured.

Let dozens of rescued poisoned soldiers go around in the camp to tell the story in person, and finally suppressed the rumors, the first time to suffer this kind of big loss, Deputy Director Tao was furious, but also ordered the craftsmen in the army to make a large number of aconitum poison arrows for backup, and then ordered the soldiers to collect poisonous snakes, and ordered Langzhong to collect the corpses of plague patients, Xuzhou Wenwu was shocked to ask about the reason, Deputy Director Tao said viciously: "Of course, it is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" Zhuge Village is ruthless, I want to have someone more ruthless than him! ”

It is rare to see Deputy Director Tao's expression so hideous and violent once, of course Xuzhou Zhongwenwu understands that Deputy Director Tao is completely ruthless this time, and it is inevitable to sympathize with the enemy in their hearts, especially sympathize with Yuan Tan Gongzi who was shot - Deputy Director Tao in a normal state is already ruthless and poisonous enough, and how ruthless and poisonous Deputy Director Tao will be in a state of madness is not something ordinary people can imagine.

While preparing to retaliate against the enemy ruthlessly, Deputy Director Tao did not forget another major event, and arranged a large number of capable scouts to capture the enemy's patrol soldiers, and the result was also a small success, and in two days, five Yuan Tanjun scouts were captured, and they were escorted back to the camp for interrogation. Although the reason for falling out of favor is not clear for the time being, but now every time Yuan Tan enters and exits the Chinese army, he does not leave Yuan Tan's son, and the person who follows Yuan Tan Gongzi has indeed been replaced by Cui Yan, a famous scholar from Jizhou who is not too senior.

Upon learning of this situation, Deputy Director Tao and Xun Chen and others were secretly happy, and quickly intensified their efforts to collect information about Mr. Guo Tu, and began to try their best to get in touch with Mr. Guo Tu to test Mr. Guo Tu's attitude and intentions - Deputy Director Tao, who was cautious in his surname, did not dare to act directly, because Mr. Guo Tu was the master who voluntarily died for Yuan Tan's son in history, and it was definitely not as easy as imagined to want him to betray Yuan Tan. But what Deputy Director Tao never dreamed of was that the Xuzhou army's vigorous arrest of Yuan Tanjun's scouts had aroused a person's suspicion............ "Another Jihou army's scout was captured by the Xuzhou thief army?" In two days, the scouts of the Jihou team were killed fifteen people, four were missing, and three were captured alive? The Scouts were attacked six times, three of them in encounters and three in ambushes? Was this a fortuitous coincidence, or was it intentional on the part of the pottery thief? ”

The person who gave birth to this suspicion was of course the most cautious Zhuge Liang in the world, and after thinking about it again, Zhuge Liang pulled Uncle Liu Huang to meet Yuan Tan Gongzi overnight, reminding Yuan Tan Gongzi to be careful about this matter, but Yuan Tan Gongzi yawned and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Kong Ming is too suspicious, right?" Didn't the Scout Sentinel fight during that battle? What's suspicious? Besides, didn't our scouts also kill a few pottery thief scouts? It's so normal, there's no need to worry. ”

"What Ji Hou said is extremely true, it is true that there are scout battles during every war, which is normal and ordinary." Zhuge Liang nodded, admitting that Yuan Tangongzi's words were also reasonable, and then reminded: "But Jihou, don't you think one thing is a little strange?" Prior to this, our army scouts had also fought with Xuzhou army scouts many times, but only one of them was ambushed by Xuzhou army scouts, and 21 scouts were sacrificed, three people were missing, and only two people were confirmed to be captured. However, after the defeat of the Xuzhou army, in just two days, our army lost four scouts, and it was confirmed that three people were captured alive, which exceeded the sum of the previous seven days, is this too strange? ”

"Yes, Jihou, be careful." Uncle Liu Huang also reminded: "Don't forget, the thief of Tao Ying is a well-known thief, and even the current thief Cao can only bow down in front of him, he suddenly increased the intensity of the scout war, obviously intending to capture the scouts of our army, there must be an ulterior despicable purpose behind it, and I hope that the Hou of Ji must be careful." ”

"Really?" Yuan Tan Gongzi finally wavered a little, and after a little calculation, he was puzzled: "But what should we do?" You can't help but send scouts out of the camp to find out the enemy's situation, right? That's too passive. ”

"Don't worry, Liang has already thought of a plan, and he will definitely be able to find out the details of this matter." Zhuge Liang said quickly: "Liang plans to arrange a fine and reliable soldier to serve as a scout Ming Yue went out of the camp to patrol the enemy's situation, and then let him be deliberately captured by the Xuzhou army and surrendered, what the Xuzhou army asked, he answered, deceived the Xuzhou army into believing his surrender, and finally let him find a way to escape from the enemy camp and report the situation back to our military camp." In this way, Liang can analyze Tao Ying's intentions and purposes for the next step from the interrogation of the Xuzhou army. ”

"What if the team of potters kills this fine worker?" Yuan Tan was a little worried.

"No, although Tao Ying makes Jun have a bad character and a heart like a snake and scorpion, he likes to be false and righteous the most, and never kills prisoners indiscriminately. Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "And Liang has already prepared a candidate, and plans to arrange a local soldier in Yanzhou who has served for Cao Thief to serve for this position, after he was captured by the Xuzhou Army, as long as he confesses his experience and place of origin, and fully cooperates with the interrogation of the Xuzhou Army, maybe he can also be released by the Xuzhou Army, and he will soon be able to return to our army to report the news." ”

"Then you can arrange it." Yuan Tan Gongzi yawned again and said: "Anyway, even if you can't succeed, it will be a loss of a pawn at most, please ask Mr. Kong Ming for this matter, if you need the assistance of our army, go directly to Cui Jiqi to negotiate, I will ask him to fully support your actions." ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and then limped back to the imperial uncle's army camp with Uncle Liu, and called a personal soldier named Shi Yunfeng - also an old soldier of the Cao Army who had served in the team of Han Fu, the guard of Cao Jun Ye County, and then Zhuge Liang explained the opportunity to Shi Yunfeng in person, and arranged for Shi Yunfeng to spy on the movements of the Xuzhou army with a heavy reward, and his wife and children had been brought to Xinye by Uncle Liu Shi Yunfeng did not dare to refuse, and coveted the heavy reward offered by Zhuge Liang and Uncle Liu, so he was also willing to accept this mission, Soon took Zhuge Liang's advice to heart, and began to arrange the execution of the task without mentioning it.

……………… Zhuge Liang did study Deputy Director Tao's surname and habits to the bones, if nothing else, Shi Yunfeng will definitely be captured by the Xuzhou army who is in need of a confession, after being a prisoner, Shi Yunfeng will definitely not be in danger of life, both the hope of escaping from the Xuzhou camp, and the possibility of being released by the Xuzhou army, so that Deputy Director Tao's vicious intentions to make up his mind on Mr. Guo Tu must be exposed to Zhuge Liang. But Mr. Zhuge Kongming also never dreamed that at the same time, there was an unexpected third party who was also unexpectedly involved in this matter............ "Ah! So boring! I knew that it would take so much time to fight an official crossing, and Lord Ben should have asked Ah Yu to beg her sister and let her also go out with the army, so that Lord Ben would not be bored at night. ”

The one who can make a hard scratch is, of course, our heartthrob Yang Hong Yang Changshi, although the time is already more than half of the second watch, but our Yang Changshi, who has slept enough during the day, still has a pair of eyes that are still open, and at the same time he is bored and sighs, only hating himself for not finding a way to bring his concubine Guo Yu to the army, so that he can't do some fitness exercises that the masses like to see in the dead of night.

Yang Changshi, who had slept enough during the day, was full of energy, but Li Lang, the captain of the personal soldiers who was serving on the side, was already yawning, Li Lang yawned and asked, "My lord, then why don't you let the eleventh lady beg her sister?" The younger sister of the eleventh lady is now a big celebrity in front of the lord, she opened her mouth and begged the lord, and the lord will definitely allow it. ”

"Master Ben thought that he would be able to take Xuchang soon, and he could be happy at will when he entered Xuchang, but it was inconvenient to take Ah Yu, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Yuan Tan Pifu in Guandu." Yang Changshi explained with a bitter face, and scolded again, "Yuan Tan of the dog, wait for the lord to enter Xuchang, see how Lord Ben plays with your woman!" ”

"And Guo Tu and Xin Ping!" Yang Changshi thought of the two opponents in the past, and scolded viciously: "Dare to help Yuan Tan Pifu escort Master Ben to the court? When they enter Xuchang, Lord Ben will also have enough of their wives and daughters! ”

"When the time comes, if the adults are too busy, the villain is willing to help the adults." Li Lang hurriedly volunteered, and then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you seemed to be dozing off the afternoon before yesterday, you shouldn't have heard the good news, right?" ”

"The good news?" Yang Changshi, who was really dozing off at the time, asked rhetorically.

"Good news for Guo Tupifu to fall out of favor."

The first party, Li Lang, hurriedly gave a general introduction to the matter of Xun Chen sending him to spy on the enemy camp, and gave a detailed introduction to Guo Tu's situation at that time, pointing out that Guo Tu's status in front of Yuan Tan had changed dramatically. And Yang Changshi was also happy to hear it, and immediately applauded and said with a smile: "Okay! Good! The sky has eyes! The sky has eyes! Guo Tu, the puppet, at that time, Xin commented on the puppet and persuaded Yuan Tan not to kill Master Ben, Guo Tu, the puppet, dared to give Yuan Tan a bad idea, first tied me to the court and then asked Yuan Shao for an order to behead me, almost scared my three souls away! He deserves this retribution! (See Chapter 106 of this book for details) "Yes, yes. Li Lang, who was also a party to the case, nodded again and again, and echoed: "The villain remembers, my lord, you peed your pants in public in the court at that time, and ...... pee your pants in front of thousands of people. ”

"What? How come I don't remember? Yang Changshi, who loves face, narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, the villain remembers wrong!" Li Lang hurriedly changed his words, and added in his heart: "It's useless if you don't admit it, you not only peed your pants at that time, but also peed more than once!" ”

Anyway, Li Lang's words still aroused Yang Changshi's old hatred for Guo Tu, thinking that he was hurt by Yuan Tan and Guo Tu to pee his pants in front of thousands of people in public, and later had the opportunity to kill Guo Tu but was scolded by Deputy Director Tao, the narrow-minded Yang Changshi did not come out. Under the hatred, Yang Changshi, who was eager to repay and was bored, inevitably started his brain full of bad water, and activated his brain cells that had been squeezed by wine-colored wealth and had almost no place to stand, thinking about how to take revenge!

Again, our Yang Changshi is not stupid at all - it's just that his smart head is used for being greedy for money and lustful, so after thinking carefully for a while, Yang Changshi quickly slapped his thigh and said happily: "There is!" Ben-sama has a way to avenge that one-shot revenge! This time, Lord Ben wants to borrow Yuan Tan's hand to kill Guo Tupifu, and let Guo Tupifu die in the hands of his dog master, Yuan Tan, and he won't be blind when he dies! ”

"Let Guo Tupifu die in the hands of Yuan Tan?" Li Lang paused, and hurriedly said, "My lord, this is unlikely, right?" When the villain saw Guo Tupifu the afternoon before yesterday, although he seemed to have fallen out of favor, he was still wearing an official uniform, proving that he still had an official position, how did you let Yuan Tan kill him? ”

"Of course, it's Lord Ben's specialty, and he was framed." Yang Changshi didn't hide it in front of his absolute confidant Li Lang, lowered his voice and said with a cruel smile: "As long as Lord Ben forges a letter from the lord to Guo Tu, frames him for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the master, and then deliberately lets this letter fall into the hands of Yuan Tan, and then Yuan Tan will have to kill him!" ”

"Forge the lord's letter to Guo Tu?" Li Lang's eyes almost didn't widen out of his sockets, and he quickly lowered his voice and exclaimed, "My lord, are you crazy?" If you let the lord know, your head will not fall to the ground? ”

"If you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows?" Yang Changshi glanced at Li Lang, and said in a low voice: "Besides, the lord doesn't hate Guo Tu to the bone, I helped the lord to shake the enemy's military heart in addition to Guo Tu, and the lord is too late to be happy, how can you blame me?" ”

"Really?" Li Lang was a little dazed, and hurriedly asked, "But my lord, how did you forge the lord's letter?" Will you be in the master's handwriting? ”

"Idiot, have you forgotten that your Hou Ye is a master of contemporary calligraphy?" Yang Changshi said proudly: "Don't say that the master's handwriting is so ugly that he can't see people, it's Chen Ying Chen Yuanfang's handwriting, and this master can also imitate it to ensure that no one can recognize it!" ”

After speaking, Yang Changshi added another sentence in his heart, and said secretly: "Actually, Lord Ben has already copied it twice, once for six million dollars, and once for more than eight million. ”

"But my lord, what if Yuan Tan doesn't believe that Guo Tupifu betrayed the master for glory?" Li Lang reminded again.

"It's okay, Lord Ben has already thought it through." Yang Changshi said with a smile: "Lord Ben knows that Guo Tupifu was released back to Jizhou by the lord last time, because he secretly betrayed Yuan Shao's old puppet and helped our army take Qingzhou through negotiations. In this way, as long as the letter falls into the hands of his Yuan Tan, he can't help Yuan Tan Pifu not believe it, and he Guo Tupifu's head can't fall to the ground! ”

"Then my lord, how are you going to deliver the letter to Yuan Tan?"

Li Lang asked again, seeing Yang Changshi staring at him with his eyes, with a malicious smile on his face, Li Lang was almost so frightened that he peed his crotch, quickly knelt down on his knees, and begged again and again: "My lord, you just spare the villain, you just killed the villain, and the villain didn't dare to go to the enemy's camp to deliver a letter!" Adult, adult, villain begs you, adult, you forged letters, the villain will never say it, the villain is loyal to you, please sir, for the sake of the villain serving you for many years, spare the villain's life. ”

"It's because you're loyal that this university can rest assured that you'll go." Yang Changshi encouraged: "If it is replaced by Wang Wu, Lord Ben will not dare to rest assured, that kid not only dares to steal and eat Lord Ben's chicken legs, but also dares to peek at Lord Ben's woman, so Lord Ben is not as good as you are at ease with him." You can rest assured that Master Ben will give you a clever plan to get out of the game and will not let you die. ”

"Besides." Yang Changshi lowered his voice again and said: "Wang Wu is a veteran of Danyang, and Lord Ben has always suspected that he is Cao Hong's internal guard arranged by my side, so there are many things that Lord Ben can let you know, but you can't let Wang Wu know, and you can't give him Wang Wu a lot of benefits that can give you!" ”

"But the villain still doesn't dare to go." Li Lang, who was indeed not an internal guard, almost cried, but fortunately, the veteran oil Li Lang was also a clever person, and suddenly his heart moved anxiously, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain suddenly thought that there is a better candidate to deliver the letter, let them deliver the letter, not only is it safer, but it also makes Yuan Tan Pifu more convinced." ”

"Who?" Yang Changshi asked busily.

"Prisoners we caught." Li Lang hurriedly said: "Our team has captured several enemy scouts in the past two days, my lord, you might as well pick one out, and then give him this letter, and let him take it back and hand it over to Yuan Tan Pifu, wouldn't it be easier to make Yuan Tan Pifu believe it?" If you let the captive send the letter to the adult, Yuan Tan Pifu will definitely not believe it easily, even if you believe the villain, he will not come back, if the adult you let the captive send the letter, Yuan Tan Pifu will definitely believe it immediately, the villain will not need to take risks, and you don't need to sacrifice a loyal minister. ”

Yang Changshi thought about it carefully, although he just let Li Lang take the risk, and didn't want Li Lang, a loyal lackey, to die, but he was sure that something would happen and lose Li Lang's dog's life, and letting Yuan Tanjun take prisoners to send this framed letter was not only absolutely safe, but also easier to make Yuan Tan believe it. Thinking about this, Yang Changshi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go, but when we go to pick prisoners tomorrow, you have to cooperate with me to play a play, so that Yuan Tan Pifu can be more convinced." ”

Li Lang, who had to get out of the catastrophe, agreed and thanked him repeatedly, and Yang Changshi ordered Li Lang to quickly get the pen and ink, and then while forging the letter from Deputy Director Tao to force Mr. Guo Tu to be the internal response, he started his head full of bad water, and pondered how to perfect his ingenious and godly plan to frame Zhongliang.
