On the night of the arrival of Mr. Jiang Gan and General Li Lang in Xiangyang, they were in the Jingzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion in the middle of the city.

With a "bang", the exquisite colored glazed porcelain cup worth thousands of dollars and very rare in the late Han Dynasty turned into pieces, and Liu Biao's roar also echoed in the back hall, "In the eyes of Brother Cai Mao, is there still me, the Jingzhou Mu?!" Knowing that Liu Bei was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he dared to arrange a hundred soldiers to Liu Bei and let them obey Liu Bei's command, what was this going to do? What is this going to do?! ”

Liu Biao is not old and confused, although the power of Xiangyang Defense and Jingzhou Navy Division is basically handed over to the four brothers-in-law, but the big and small movements in Xiangyang City, especially every move of the garrison in the city, it is still difficult to hide from Liu Biao's eyes, in addition to the garrison in the city controlled by the Cai Mao brothers, there is also a special elite army that only obeys Liu Biao's orders, secretly monitoring the various movements of Jingzhou Baiguan and the Cai brothers for Liu Biao. However, this can't blame Liu Biao for being suspicious, almost every person in power, Emperor Tu, has such a team around him, Deputy Director Tao is no exception, and the princes of Cao Boss and Da Yuan Sangong are no exception.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, Cai Mao's brothers secretly helped our incomparable benevolent Uncle Liu Huang to deal with the Xuzhou envoys, and these small actions were discovered by the team under Liu Biao and reported to Liu Biao, which made Liu Biao furious. And after turning around the back hall several times with his hands behind his back, Liu Biao suddenly stopped and asked viciously at Wang Wei, the absolute henchman in charge of this secret army: "Have you found out, after Brother Cai Mao lent these hundred soldiers to the big-eared thief, what did the big-eared thief do?" What is the purpose? ”

"The purpose has not been found." Wang Wei replied truthfully: "At present, it has only been found that Liu Bei divided these 100 sergeants into two groups. A group of forty people disguised themselves as ordinary people and lurked outside the pavilion where the Xuzhou envoys stayed, and the other sixty people protected Liu Bei under the name and stationed in the post where Liu Bei stayed, but in fact obeyed Liu Bei's command and dispatch. In addition, the last general also found out that the more than 100 sergeants were under Cai Zhong's command, and they were temporarily loaned to Liu Bei this morning. ”

"Lurking outside the pavilion where the Xuzhou envoys stayed?" Liu Biao was a little confused, and secretly pondered: "Since the big-eared thieves are secretly colluding with the Xuzhou thief army, why do they still arrange the army outside the post house of the Xuzhou envoy team?" What the hell is this going to do? Is it intended to be secretly spied? Or secretly protected, or used to cover his big-eared thief's whereabouts. Convenient for his big-eared thief to secretly communicate with the Xuzhou thief army? ”

Under suspicion. Liu Biao calculated again and again, and then instructed Wang Wei: "From now on, you will also arrange a hundred soldiers, led by you personally." Secretly spy on the big-eared thief's every move. If it is found that he has committed rebellion or secretly meeting with the envoy of Xuzhou. No need to ask for an order, take it now! ”

"No!" Wang Wei clenched his fists and agreed, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the lord." Liu Bei is quite skilled in martial arts, what if he resists arrest with an arm? ”

Liu Biao did not hesitate, immediately untied the sword at his waist, threw it to Wang Wei casually, and then said viciously: "Hold my sword, cut first and then play!" ”

………………

The night passed quickly, and on the morning of the next day, Jiang Gan, according to the instructions of Yang Changshi relayed by Li Lang, deliberately did not understand how to visit Liu Biao to negotiate the so-called peace treaty, but only sent a few retinues who did not know the inside story, and asked them to inquire and find the location of Zhuge Xuan's mansion on the street.

Zhuge Xuan's mansion was quickly found, as Yang Changshi expected to be in Xiangyang Xicheng, where the powerful gathered, after asking the name and specific location of the street, Mr. Jiang Gan quietly asked if the entourage had found that he was being followed, but unfortunately what kind of people brought what kind of entourage, and several of Mr. Jiang Gan's honest entourages shook their heads and said they didn't know. But fortunately, Yang Changshi, who was like a god, had already taken countermeasures to explain this, and Mr. Jiang Gan was not too worried, but patiently waited until after dark before acting according to the plan.

Mr. Jiang Gan was obviously worried in vain, because his entourage made such a big move, how could he hide the eyes of our two great military divisions, Wolong and Phoenix, who were like gods? His entourage found Zhuge Xuan's whereabouts around three o'clock, and went to Zhuge Xuan's door to take a turn, before the first minute of noon, the news had been sent to Uncle Liu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and after hearing the news, Uncle Liu Huang and Pang Tong were still a little puzzled Why did Mr. Jiang Gan look for Zhuge Xuan, but Zhuge Liang immediately jumped up and exclaimed: "What a vicious intention, you want to drag Liang's uncle into the water?!" ”

"Drag Uncle Ling into the water? What does this mean? Uncle Liu asked in surprise.

"It's very simple, Tao Yuanjun wants Liang's uncle to also be suspected of rebellion." Zhuge Liang sneered and said: "Tao Yuanjun knows that Liang's uncle is quite useful in front of Liu Fujun, and he is worried that his uncle will sabotage his poisonous plan, so he simply pulls Liang's uncle into the water, and he is also suspected of betrayal, so that no matter what Liang's uncle says, Liu Fujun will not listen, and he will in turn suspect that Liang is complicit with his uncle and help him seek his Jingzhou!" ”

"What a vicious intention!" Uncle Liu Huang first gasped, and then asked suspiciously: "But Kong Ming, the pottery thief lackey Jiang Gan only sent his entourage to find the location of your uncle's mansion, how can he make your uncle also suspicious?" ”

"It's ......." Zhuge Liang is embarrassed, this can't blame Zhuge Liang for being incompetent, the key is that Zhuge Liang really hasn't learned Yang Changshi's shameless tricks of abducting and trapping, and naturally can't guess Yang Changshi's true intentions. So after hesitating for a while, Zhuge Liang could only shake his head honestly and replied: "Liang can't guess what Tao Yuanjun plans to do for the time being, but Liang can conclude that Jiang Ziyi's entourage is looking for the location of his uncle's mansion with such fanfare, it is obvious that he is deliberately attracting the attention of the Jingzhou army, and then taking the opportunity to act!" Otherwise, with Xuzhou's ability to work carefully, why did Jiang Ziyi's team need to temporarily find the location of his uncle's mansion after arriving in Xiangyang? ”

"So what do we do now?" Uncle Liu Huang also hurriedly asked.

"Plan and then act, and strike later!" Zhuge Liang replied categorically: "Continue to closely monitor every move of the Xuzhou envoy team, and wait until they make a move." And then decide how to act! ”

Uncle Liu Huang nodded in agreement, and Pang Tong suggested: "Kong Ming, you should send someone to inform Uncle Ling of this, and ask Uncle Ling to be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard temporarily." Zhuge Liang thought about it, and immediately arranged for his henchmen to rush to Zhuge Xuan's mansion, so that Zhuge Xuan knew about this matter and prepared to deal with it.

Almost at the same time, the Xuzhou envoy team secretly searched for the whereabouts of Zhuge Xuan's mansion, and Wang Wei sent people to Liu Biao. Learned about it. Liu Biao was inevitably more suspicious, and after a little calculation, Liu Biao immediately sent someone to order Wang Wei and order Wang Wei to arrange special candidates. Secretly monitor Zhuge Xuan's every move in the mansion. If there is any change, it must be reported immediately!

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhuge Xuan received the news sent by Zhuge Liang, and after secretly scolding Deputy Director Tao for being despicable and shameless, Zhuge Xuan asked the messenger to reply to Zhuge Liang. Instruct your nephew to be sure to take the stolen goods, and be sure to get the stolen goods, and not act impulsively, and give Jiang Gan and others the opportunity to destroy the evidence in advance, otherwise Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Xuan will be even more unclear at that time! On the contrary, it will be even more suspicious of murder!

Before the halfway point, seeing that it was not early, General Li Lang, who was in a hurry to leave the dangerous place, bid farewell to Mr. Jiang Gan, carried the love letter from Deputy Director Tao to Huang Shuo, as well as the funds to be used to buy Huang Chengyan's family, and left the Xiangyang Post House alone, preparing to leave the city from the west gate of Xiangyang and rush to Huangjiawan, ten miles west of Xiangyang, to deliver the love letter. Before leaving, General Li Lang, in addition to telling Mr. Jiang Gan to act must act, naturally had to sneer in his stomach, "Old fool, stay and send him to death, Lao Tzu will not be accompanied." ”

As soon as General Li Lang, the number one target, went out, the news was naturally sent to Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang and others as quickly as possible, and it was concluded that General Li Lang was going to find the remote control command, and Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he heard the letter, and he also immediately ordered that the eyeliner must be closely monitored, not exposed, let alone intercepted, and let General Li Lang do whatever he wanted, as long as he found out the real purpose of General Li Lang's outing!

The next thing is even more complicated, as Yang Changshi's personal captain, he has been following Yang Changshi to envoy princes everywhere for many years, and often does some dirty things for Yang Changshi, General Li Lang, who is three points better than the crystal monkey, has incomparably rich experience in tracking and anti-tracking, almost as soon as he went out, he realized that he was being followed, and then General Li Lang naturally exerted his anti-tracking experience, first hid in a crowded place, and then suddenly got into a wine shop with a back door, and slipped out of the wine shop through the back door, Then he hid in the hidden place behind the liquor store, and waited until the stalker hurried out of the alley to find his traces, and then killed a horse pistol, slipped back to the liquor store and left through the front door, and got rid of the stalker without much effort.

General Li Lang did this, of course, just to make the stalker not know his true whereabouts, but after the stalker hurriedly sent the news of General Li Lang's disappearance to Uncle Liu and Zhuge Liang, Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang couldn't hold their breath together, and quickly ordered to do their best to find it, and at the same time began to be worried, for fear of missing the opportunity to capture Yang Changshi alive and take people to take the stolen goods. But fortunately, Uncle Liu's luck has always been good, when General Li Lang, who was disguised as an ordinary person, passed through the west gate of Xiangyang, he happened to be seen by Uncle Liu, who was looking for the whereabouts of General Li Lang all over the city.

"It turned out to be hiding outside the city!" Overjoyed, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Uncle Liu Huang: "My lord, if nothing happens, the real culprit behind the Xuzhou army's murder of you must be hidden outside Xiangyang City, we should divide our troops into two ways, all the way out of the city to follow Li Lang to find his commander, and stay in the city all the way to continue to monitor Jiang Gan's team to prevent the enemy from acting separately, and then to follow." ”

"Very good." Uncle Liu Huang nodded in agreement, and immediately got up and said: "Kong Ming, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I will take people out of the city to follow Li Lang and search for his mastermind behind the scenes, and you will stay in the middle to command." ”

"Lord, how can you get out of the city now?" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said: "You are still suspected of colluding with Tao Envoy Jun, and you are under house arrest and monitored here by Jingsheng Gong, although Cai Dudu and they cover it up for us, but you go out of the city in person, it is still impossible to hide from Jingsheng Gong's eyes, so you must sit here to make Jingsheng Gong's heart shut." ”

Uncle Liu Huang thought about it, and smiled awkwardly and said that he had not thought about it, and Pang Tong stood up and said, "I'll go, I'll follow that Li Lang and search for the mastermind behind him." ”

"Shi Yuan, I'd better go, you stay to assist the lord." Zhuge Liang said: "Although my legs and feet are slightly inconvenient, I am familiar with the terrain and roads west of Xiangyang. And he is very familiar with the locals, even if he loses Li Lang, he can always find the whereabouts of strangers in that area with the help of the local people. ”

"Huh." Pang Tong laughed, stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "I forgot to forget, Huangjiawan, ten miles west of Xiangyang, is where Kong Ming's future father-in-law Chengyan Gong's manor is located, and the people in that area are almost all Chengyangong's apprentices, Kong Ming, you are simply half a snake there, and it is not easy to find someone?" Good. You go. Leave it to me here! ”

"Then I'll ask Shiyuan here." Zhuge Liang nodded, and then told Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, it is inconvenient for the lord to leave the post house without permission, I will take half of the people who are ordered to leave." The remaining half is left to you for mobile use. If there is any change. I hope you will work tirelessly, be on the scene to direct the action, and be able to adapt to the situation. ”

Pang Tonglian said rest assured. Zhuge Liang was still a little uneasy, and told again: "Shiyuan, you and I are like brothers, and I am not afraid of taboos in some words, during my time out of the city, if things change, please be sure to save the life of the lord, give priority to saving the lord, and only he can persevere in fighting with Tao Envoy to the end." ”

"How can you say it like a last word? Is it that serious? Pang Tong asked with a wry smile.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Shiyuan, I know that you have long known it, the matter in Yexian, in order to obtain military horses for the lord, I have used some immoral means, but you see our brotherhood, you have never accused me, I am very grateful." But what I have to tell you is that I do this, not only for private but also for the public, Tao Ying is the number one traitor in the world, far better than Cao Cao's national thief, if the lord of the Han family is bent on recovering the Han family without soldiers and horses to protect himself, he will be abandoned and even killed by Jingsheng Gong, and no one in the world can fight against the pottery thief to the end for the rise and fall of the Han family, I used those means for the sake of the common people in the world. ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Since you and I both know it, why do you need to say it?" I have neither friendship nor kindness with Liu Pan and Xin Ping, what does their life, death and honor have to do with me? ”

"Thank you, Shiyuan." Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and bowed, and said: "This is also the fundamental reason why I want to ask Shiyuan, for Jingsheng Gong, Ye County's matter can be big or small, it can be investigated to the end, and it can also be turned into a big thing, a small matter, this time Jingsheng Gong put the lord under house arrest in Xiangyang City, although the reason is because of the pottery thief, but under deep investigation, Jing Shenggong will inevitably not sprout a killing machine at any time, so I must beg you to agree, when I am not there, if there is a change, please do your best to protect the lord!" ”

Pang Tong smiled again, nodded, and said, "I promise you, but you also have to promise me, don't use this tone of confession to me, how unlucky." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled, and bowed deeply to Pang Tong, and then led thirty Jingzhou soldiers out of the city. And Zhuge Liang led the army out of the city such a big movement, although there was the connivance and acquiescence of the Cai brothers who controlled the city defense of Xiangyang, but they could not hide the eyes of Wang Wei who was secretly surveilling, and Wang Wei also responded immediately, while arranging people to track and monitor Zhuge Liang's team, while sending someone to report to Liu Biao, Liu Biao was both confused and angry when he heard the report, so he immediately sent someone to order the Huang Zu team stationed outside the city, and ordered Huang Zu to send hundreds of troops, follow and follow Zhuge Liang's team, and respond at any time.

……………………

Well, it is estimated that some friends have been dazzled by the complex relationships and complex logic in the article, and they don't know who is right and who is wrong, so let's introduce it in detail first.

First of all, of course, it is Uncle Liu's side, the purpose of Uncle Liu's side is, of course, to expose Deputy Director Tao's discordant poisonous scheme, clear his suspicions and regain control of the army, but because he is not authentic in Ye County, he does not dare to go to Liu Biao to confess the situation, explain the reason, and obtain Liu Biao's consent before acting. Therefore, Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang decided to adopt the method of luring the snake out of the hole, secretly leading the Xuzhou army to make a move first, and then immediately taking a person and seizing it, as long as it is proved that Uncle Liu Huang and the Xuzhou army have nothing to do with each other and do not share the sky, then the affairs of Ye County can basically be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

At the same time, there is another advantage to Uncle Liu Huang doing this, that is, to expose the ugly face of Zhang Xiu's secret collusion with the Xuzhou army, and take the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xiu, so as to please Uncle Liu's ally in Jingzhou, the Cai Mao family and the second son Liu Cong, and take the opportunity to dominate Nanyang County, which is still based on it, and get more troops and territory - Nanyang County has always been the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The foundation is still there.

In terms of Liu Biao, Liu Biao has never dared to believe Zhang Xiu's dedication to the book, and he does not believe that Uncle Liu Huang, who is not with the Xuzhou Army, will really fall to Deputy Director Tao, but after investigating the Yecheng War, Liu Biao, who vaguely found that Uncle Liu Huang did not use authentic methods, was already angry, and at the same time, he was also suspicious of the Xuzhou Army's sudden abandonment of the pursuit of Uncle Liu, so in the absence of real evidence and suspicions, Liu Biao simply came to lure the snake out of the hole, and deliberately pretended to be unaware of the collusion between Cai Mao and Uncle Liu Huang, secretly arrange for henchmen to be closely monitored. The purpose is also to lure Uncle Liu Huang to make the first move. Then one person will get the stolen goods together, and the new account and the old account will be counted together!

Of course, if Uncle Liu Huang can prove his innocence and clear his suspicion of defecting to the Xuzhou Army. even proved that Deputy Director Tao framed himself by unscrupulous means. It's because of fear and jealousy of yourself. Then needless to say, Liu Biao will definitely forget about those things in Ye County immediately, and reuse and rely on Uncle Liu Huang even more.

Xuzhou side. What is the purpose of Mr. Jiang Gan and General Li Lang, I won't be verbose here, but one thing that must be reminded is that Jiang Gan and Li Lang don't know until now, they are already under the close surveillance of Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang and others, I don't know that Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang have roughly guessed their purpose and intentions, and they don't even know that because of coincidence, Uncle Liu and Zhuge Liang are actually in Xiangyang City now! So what Mr. Jiang Gan and General Li Lang didn't know was that they were now in the open, while the enemy was hiding in the shadows, and had already opened a hunting net to kill them!

The enemy is in the dark, according to common sense, Mr. Jiang Gan and General Li Lang have actually lost more than half! If the task plan assigned by Deputy Director Tao is carried out, then it will basically be the end of being stolen and seized! However, there are two variables in Xuzhou, one is that heartthrob Yang Changshi gave a contingency to the stupid assistant Mr. Jiang Gan without consulting Deputy Director Tao; Second, General Li Lang, who was in cahoots with Yang Changshi, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and in order to gain the opportunity to escape at any time, he adjusted the details of the plan on his own initiative, and did not follow Deputy Director Tao's order to send Xuzhou who was originally lurking in Xiangyang to send a letter to the city, and chose to go out of the city to deliver the letter by himself, and took the opportunity to hide outside the city where it was relatively safe and could escape at any time when Mr. Jiang Gan made a move............

………………

Gossip aside, get back to the point, the early winter days are short, the sky is getting dark before the first shift arrives, after changing into a neat and clean Confucian clothes, Mr. Jiang Gan first knelt and bowed to the northeast direction where Deputy Director Tao is located, silently prayed for God's blessing, let himself successfully complete this task and show his face, and then carried the gifts and letters to Zhuge Xuan alone, with the help of his entourage, he went out of the post house with his head held high, and rushed to Xicheng to meet Zhuge Xuan overnight.

In addition, although the entourage all volunteered to accompany him, he was sternly rejected by Mr. Jiang Gan, and at the same time, Mr. Jiang Gan, who had a very good character, also told more than a dozen entourage, saying: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must be sure that you don't know anything!" Only then will you have a chance to stay alive! ”

Several attendants nodded together, and Mr. Jiang Gan was silent for a moment before he whispered: "Also, if I have any accidents, you can also return to the lord, please be sure to tell the lord for me that I have been loyal to him." The entourage burst into tears when they heard this, but Mr. Jiang Gan didn't know how to go out.

Mr. Jiang Gan, who was dressed in a formal suit, went out alone with his head held high, naturally he couldn't hide the eyes of Uncle Liu Huang's eyeliner, so when Mr. Jiang Gan was rushing to Xicheng in a big way, the news had already been sent to Uncle Liu Huang and Pang Tong, and then Pang Tong immediately went out overnight with the remaining thirty Jingzhou soldiers, and followed Mr. Jiang Gan all the way, but it didn't take much time to follow Mr. Jiang Gan who was about to enter the Xicheng area. Then when the soldier asked Pang Tong if he would take down Jiang Gan immediately, Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, first see what he wants to do." ”

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, Mr. Jiang Gan, who was originally going to be deliberately captured by Jingzhou soldiers on the road, went all the way to the west, although he encountered the Jingzhou soldiers patrolling twice, but those Jingzhou soldiers didn't seem to see Mr. Jiang Gan and went away, and when he encountered the patrol for the third time, Mr. Jiang Gan simply took the initiative to ask the Jingzhou soldiers for directions, and asked how to go on Qilin Street, where Zhuge Xuan's mansion was located, but those Jingzhou soldiers not only did not have the slightest suspicion, but also tried their best to show Mr. Jiang Gan the direction of the road, At the end, the leader of the team asked thoughtfully: "Sir, the road is dark at night, why don't you make a lantern?" ”

"I ......." Mr. Jiang Gan was a little speechless, and then he was stunned to reveal the package full of jewels on his back, and stammered: "It's not ......, it's inconvenient." ”

"Sir, go buy an official, right? That's really inconvenient. The chief of Jingzhou laughed, and laughed in a low voice: "Look at Mr. dress, ask how to go to Qilin Street with a foreign accent, and the villain will know what you are doing, sir." In the past few years, Mr. who has come to Jingzhou from other places to seek officials, the villain has seen a lot, Mr. Go with confidence, no one will talk nonsense. If God blesses you, Mr. became the villain's boss that day, please take care of it and be compassionate. ”

After that, the chief led the soldiers away, leaving Mr. Jiang Gan, who had an elegant appearance, good facial features and dressed as a scribe, stunned on the spot, and only came back to his senses after a while, and muttered: "Buy an official? Still common? Under Liu Jingsheng's rule, is there such a thing? ”

"What the hell is this guy going to do?" Pang Tong, who was secretly following behind, was even more confused, "What are you going to do when you go out at night and take the initiative to talk to the patrolmen?" ”

Under the suspicion and surprise, Pang Tong did not dare to act rashly, but continued to follow Mr. Jiang Gan secretly, and as a result, Mr. Jiang Gan naturally came to Qilin Street where Zhuge Xuan's Mansion was located very smoothly, and according to the description of Zhuge Xuan's Mansion by his entourage, he soon came to the gate of Zhuge Xuan's Mansion with two green bamboos in the front yard. At the same time, Zhuge Xuan, who had already received the tip, also saw Mr. Jiang Gan's thin figure in the crack of the door, standing beside Zhuge Xuan, and Zhuge Xuan was specially invited to testify, and Jingzhou, which has always had a good relationship with Zhuge Xuan, drove Liu Xian............

Seeing Mr. Jiang Gan looking around in front of Zhuge Xuanmen, but he refused to come forward to knock on the door, Zhuge Xuan and Liu Xian inside the door, as well as Pang Tong who was secretly following and Wang Wei, who personally followed Pang Tong's team so far, were all confused together, and said in their hearts: "What are you going to do with this guy?" ”

"It was expected by Mr. Zhongming."

Mr. Jiang Gan muttered in a low voice, then strode towards the next luxurious mansion, and without saying a word, went up and knocked on the door. And peeked at Mr. Jiang Gan's move, Zhuge Xuan, Pang Tong, Liu Xian, Wang Wei and others almost didn't pop out of their eyes, because the owner of the mansion who was knocked on the door by Mr. Jiang Gan was none other than the official seal Zhang Ling Taishou, Liu Qi's eldest son Yue Liang and the Marquis of Zhangling!

"He's here to visit Kuaiyue Kyodu?" Pang Tong first opened his mouth, then suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I want to buy the Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers, and let them come forward to slander and frame them in front of Liu Jingsheng, very good, Cai Mao will be happy to get up from the woman's belly immediately when she hears the news." (To be continued......)
