(PS: There are only three hours left for the double monthly pass, and friends who still have a monthly pass in their hands, please don't be polite, smash it hard to the pure wolf.) ）

Because he was anxious to make meritorious contributions, Mr. Jiang Gan, who had been a rice worm in the Xuzhou army for several years, arrived at the Hanshui Wharf outside Xiangyang City two days later in order to impress his colleagues as soon as possible.

You can't blame Li Lang for picking and choosing, the key is that Mr. Jiang Gan is really a little excessive, in the case of very sufficient travel expenses, Mr. Jiang Gan, who has mediocre ability and good moral character, still wants to save money for the public, and even a cook is reluctant to hire a cook, every meal is to let the entourage drum up some boiled fish to satisfy hunger, sprinkle some salt, and eat it so fishy that his mouth is so fishy that he can't bear it. At the same time, since Mr. Jiang Gan was reluctant to hire even a cook, let alone the indispensable singer and dancer when Yang Changshi traveled, General Li Lang, who had a noble life, was naturally even more unbearable.

The most unbearable thing for General Li Lang is Mr. Jiang Gan's attitude towards gifts, General Li Lang was also very kind and kind to persuade Mr. Jiang Gan not to be as greedy as Yang Changshi, and to embezzle 20% of the gold, silver and jewelry that is ready to be used to bribe Jingzhou officials, don't be as insatiable as Yang Changshi, only 30% of corruption is already a conscience discovery! As a result, what made General Li Lang's stomach explode was that Mr. Jiang Gan not only refused to embezzle even a big amount of money. In turn, he scolded General Li Lang for his poor morality, instigated his boss to corrupt the law and discipline, and was ashamed of his lord, so angry that General Li Lang did not say a word to Mr. Jiang Gan for two days, and only looked forward to completing the task quickly and returning to Yang Changshi's side to live happily.

"Alas, it's unladylike to meet people. In the past, when he followed Yang Lao pervert, General Ben complained that he was too greedy, too mean and too stingy, but now that he is a fool with Jiang Gan, he knows that General Ben used to be in the blessing and did not know the blessing. ”

When a passenger ship docks at the pier. General Li Lang is still lamenting his misery in self-pity. The rest of Mr. Jiang Gan's entourage rushed over and asked for instructions on what to do next—as for why he asked General Li Lang for instructions, it was because of Mr. Jiang Gan's orders, and Mr. Jiang Gan knew that General Li Lang was following Yang Changshi, the legendary figure of the Xuzhou army. On the diplomatic battlefield, the south and the north fought in the east and the west. Invincible. In terms of diplomatic experience alone, it was even above himself, so Mr. Jiang Gan gave the order and let his entourage be headed by General Li Lang. Everything was arranged by General Li Lang.

The rest of Mr. Jiang Gan's entourage was just acting on orders, but General Li Lang, who was in an extremely bad mood, suddenly became angry and shouted, "What should I do next?" Do you want to ask me? Tell Master Jiang to get out of the cabin and get off the ship, and then see how the Jingzhou team is arranged, don't you see that our ship has been followed by Jingzhou ships? What do we do next, have we done the Lord? ”

Several of Mr. Jiang Gan's entourage went resignedly, but the two scribes on the dock were a little confused, and one of them, a very ugly-looking scribe, asked in a low voice to the scribe next to him who was handsome but had inconvenient legs, "Kong Ming?" Did you notice something wrong? Why did this Xuzhou guard actually say that he asked Master Jiang to get out of the cabin and get off the ship? With such an impolite tone, it doesn't seem like what a subordinate says and does, right? ”

"I'm curious about that, too." Zhuge Liang was also a little puzzled, and then said in a low voice: "It's okay, let's look at the situation again, maybe this guard is acting nonsense behind his boss's back and speaking disrespectfully, such things often happen, and we don't have to pay too much attention to such trivial things." The key is to keep an eye on Jiang Gan, who is the head of the Xuzhou envoys. ”

Pang Tong nodded, but the two big thinkers of Wolong and Phoenix were still behind, when Mr. Jiang Gan, a famous man in Jiujiang wearing an official uniform, came out of the cabin, General Li Lang, who was not amazing, didn't even salute, and rushed off the boat with his hands behind his back, and unceremoniously instructed Mr. Jiang Gan: "My lord, tell them to move all the things that should be brought off the boat, and you also check whether some of the official documents that should be brought are complete, and it will be troublesome if you miss it." Also, I asked them to bring my luggage, I didn't bother to go back to the cabin. ”

Mr. Jiang Gan, who was called by a subordinate like this, was not angry at all, but only acted according to Li Lang's arrangement. Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and a thought arose in their hearts, "Who is this guy?" How is it as if he is the head of the Xuzhou envoys? ”

"Why is this thief?" When he saw General Li Lang's appearance clearly, Shi Yunfeng, the entourage of soldiers behind Zhuge Liang, was suddenly taken aback, and quickly lowered his voice and reported to Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, this thief villain knows, he is Li Lang, the captain of the personal army of Xuzhou Governor Shi Yang Hong!" When the villain entered the Xuzhou camp to spy on the military, it was this thief who helped Yang Hong's puppet to trap and harm our army! ”

"Is that him?" Zhuge Liang, who had also heard of General Li Lang's famous name, suddenly turned gloomy, and asked in a low voice, "Confirm it's him?" Didn't recognize the wrong person? ”

"Absolutely not mistaken!" Shi Yunfeng nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "It will never be wrong, this thief's ugly face is turned into ashes, and I know it!" ”

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other in surprise, and then Zhuge Liang first ordered Shi Yunfeng, who was also known by Li Lang, to step back, careful not to be seen by Li Lang, and then whispered to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, something is wrong with this, maybe our plan will be forced to make adjustments." ”

"Why?" Pang Tong hurriedly asked.

"During the Guandu War, Liang spent some effort to study this person because he had suffered a big loss on Yang Hong, and he also inadvertently learned some things about this Li Lang." Zhuge Liang bowed to Li Lang in the distance, and introduced in a low voice: "This Li Lang was originally a soldier under the command of Han Zhi, the commander of Peiguo Xiang County, Xuzhou. Later, Yang Hong and Yang Zhongming abandoned Yuan Shu and defected to Tao Envoy Jun, but for some reason this Li Lang gave up the position of Dubo. went to Yang Zhongming's command to be the captain of the personal soldiers. ”

Later, this Li Lang accompanied Yang Hong to envoy to various places, went north to Jizhou to seek alliance with Yuan Benchu for Tao Envoy Jun, accompanied Cao Mengde to the west to meet the Holy Driver, and for Tao Envoy Jun to get important positions in the imperial court, recruited Jia Xu, Xu Huang and other civil and military talents, and also once sent an envoy to Jingzhou, and used all kinds of means to pull the eldest son of Jingsheng Gong to the side of the Xuzhou Army, and also accompanied Yang Zhongming to Zhang Ji's camp to recruit Jingsheng Gong to appease the Western Liang Army, and later sent several envoys to Jizhou to resolve the rift between Tao Envoy Jun and Yuan Benchu. Accompanied Yang Hong to recruit Jizhou generals such as Lu Yi and Zhao Yun. Even General Guan Yu was killed, and he contributed a lot to it! ”

"With his meritorious qualifications, he can now mix at least one tooth general in the Xuzhou army, and even a lieutenant is possible!" Zhuge Liang added in a low voice: "But the blame is here." No matter how much credit he makes. How many rewards have been received. His position has never changed, and he has always been the captain of Yang Zhongming's personal soldiers, and Yang Zhongming is out and on horseback, sleeping and eating. Just like the shadow of Yang Zhongming, an important minister in Xuzhou, Yang Zhongming, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the diplomatic battlefield in Xuzhou, walked there, and he followed there! Where there is Yang Zhongming, there is him! Where there is him, there is Yang Zhongming! ”

"Then why did he go to Jingzhou with Jiang Gan this time?" Pang Tong's heart froze, and then he suddenly came to his senses and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Kong Ming, do you suspect that Xuzhou Governor Shi Yang Hong and Yang Zhongming also came to Jingzhou?" It's just that he didn't show up in public, so that Jiang Gan was used as a guise to attract our attention, and Yang Zhongming was secretly executing the pottery thief's divisive poisonous plan? This Li Lang is the messenger who secretly contacts Yang Hong and Jiang Gan? ”

"It's very likely." Zhuge Liang nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "It seems that we have underestimated the shrewdness and prudence of Tao Envoy Jun, he expected that after Jiang Gan's envoy team arrived in Jingzhou, it was likely to be closely monitored by the Jingzhou team, and it was inconvenient to do some dirty deeds that were unseemly, so he simply let the envoy group be bright and dark, and let Jiang Gan lead it in the open to attract the attention of the Jingzhou army, and secretly let his right-hand man Yang Zhongming come forward to carry out his divisive poisonous plan!" If we only focus on Jiang Gan's team, we will have to hit the trick! ”

Pang Tong nodded slowly, and then said quickly: "Kong Ming, we should ask General Cai Mao to send more people to keep an eye on this Li Lang's every move, if Yang Hong has really arrived in Xiangyang, Li Lang will definitely try to get in touch with him, and if we keep an eye on him, we will have a chance to find out Yang Hong hidden in Xiangyang City!" Zhuge Liang nodded yes, and then immediately ordered Shi Yunfeng to contact Cai Zhong, who was cooperating with him, and asked Cai Zhong to send more people to focus on Li Lang in secret.

……………………

Here is a general introduction to the original plan of Zhuge Liang and Uncle Liu Huang, because I don't know what to do next for Deputy Director Tao's discordant poison plan, and the discord plan is very difficult to break, and there is no ironclad evidence, it is generally difficult to dispel Liu Biao's suspicious thoughts, so Zhuge Liang decided to take a more passive countermeasure after careful consideration, that is, to use the military strength and secret agent power of the Cai Mao brothers to closely monitor the every move of Jiang Gan, the envoy of Xuzhou, and wait until Mr. Jiang Gan takes action to sow discord. Then he took a person and seized the stolen goods, and finally Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang handed over the evidence and witnesses together, so that all the doubts in Liu Biao's heart could be completely resolved.

To be precise, it should be to dispel Liu Biao's suspicion of collusion between Uncle Liu and the Xuzhou Army, as long as Liu Biao no longer suspects that Uncle Liu Huang is a traitor in Xuzhou, then no matter how many behind-the-scenes secrets of the defeat in Yexian County are found out by Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang and Uncle Liu Huang believe that with Liu Biao's shrewdness and old Yu Chengfu, they will inevitably pretend to be confused and no longer pursue it, and Uncle Liu Huang, who is under house arrest in Jingzhou City, will take the opportunity to avoid a murderous disaster and regain the opportunity to make a comeback and fish in troubled waters.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is confident enough, I believe that Deputy Director Tao will not expect Zhang Xian to come forward to use the timer, and he and Uncle Liu Huang happen to be in Xiangyang City, not to mention that he relied on reasoning to analyze that Jiang Gan is the second link of the divisive poison scheme, so Zhuge Liang and Uncle Liu Huang still have a chance to turn defeat into victory and resolve this crisis.

What's even better is that because of the hatred of the house and Wu, Deputy Director Tao arranged for Zhang Xiu to come forward to sow discord, and inadvertently involved in the dispute for the heir to Jingzhou, resulting in the Cai Mao brothers were also involved, in order to get rid of Liu Qi's largest foreign aid Zhang Xiujun in Nanyang, the Cai Mao brothers almost did not think about it and sided with the imperial uncle's army, and decided to fully assist Liu Huangshu and Zhuge Liang to expose Deputy Director Tao's discordant plan, and took the opportunity to also expose Zhang Xiu's secret collusion with the Xuzhou army, and then get rid of Zhang Xiu. So in this matter, Zhuge Liang not only took advantage of the convenience of secretly shooting, but also obtained the manpower and military support of the Cai Mao brothers, who controlled the defense of Xiangyang.

In addition, Pang Tong also stood on the side of the imperial uncle's army, as early as the withdrawal from Bowang, Liu Huangshu had already begun to make every effort to encircle Pang Tong, who miraculously defeated Cao Boss and Deputy Director Tao one after another, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were both close friends, and they got away with Zhuge Liang's guidance and help during the battle of Yexian, plus they had never been interested in Liu Biao, and finally got on Uncle Liu's thief ship. became Zhuge Liang's right-hand man to expose Deputy Director Tao's divisive poison scheme. The allies are so powerful. He also concluded that Deputy Director Tao's next plan was executed, so although the original plan was a little passive, Zhuge Liang still had full confidence to defeat Deputy Director Tao again in terms of power and save Uncle Liu Huang, the wise monarch in his mind.

Plans are not as fast as changes. The sudden appearance of Li Lang, the captain of Yang Changshi's most confidant. Suddenly caught Zhuge Liang off guard. also completely misled Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's analytical thinking, because they were worried that Yang Changshi, the chief diplomatic expert in Xuzhou, was acting in secret, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had to focus on Li Lang. tried to find out Yang Changshi, who was secretly commanding remotely, and more effectively exposed Deputy Director Tao's poisonous plan. However, what Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong never dreamed of was that the variables brought by Yang Changshi's number one henchman Li Lang had just begun............

……………………

In the evening, Jiang Gan and Li Lang's envoy team stationed in Xiangyang City under the close monitoring of the Jingzhou army, in order to let the Xuzhou envoys act at ease, the Cai Mao brothers, who were instructed by Zhuge Liang, deliberately did not arrange for the troops to surround the pavilion and post, and did not give the Xuzhou envoys a chance to contact the outside world. As a result, Zhuge Liang's trick really made Mr. Jiang Gan fall for the trick, and after sending his entourage to observe the outside of the courtyard and found that there were no soldiers guarding him, Mr. Jiang Gan also hurried to Li Lang's room and discussed with the experienced Li Lang how to act - in order to keep it secret, Jiang Gan and Li Lang knew the real purpose of the trip among more than ten people in the Xuzhou envoy group.

"General Li, there is no military surveillance outside, are we acting overnight?" Jiang Gan asked in a consultative tone: "Send one or two people to bring gifts and letters to Zhuge Xuan overnight, and then deliberately be discovered by the night patrol soldiers on the road, throw down the gifts and letters and run away, so that the letters and gifts will fall into the hands of Liu Biao." ”

"Master Jiang, you're not joking, are you? Is that easy? General Li Lang, who was accustomed to seeing pigs running away with Yang Changshi, yawned and said lazily: "You do this, what if our people don't run away and are caught?" Or what if the Jingzhou soldiers patrolling the streets were tempted to see the precious jewels, and then privately swallowed the jewels and destroyed the letters? ”

"Yes, there are two possibilities." Mr. Jiang Gan came to his senses, and then hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"When the villain set off with you, Lord Yang gave me some advice, but I was afraid that Lord Jiang didn't have the guts, so I didn't dare to say that you heard it at that time." General Li Lang continued to yawn and said, "A foolproof way, but Lord Jiang, you will definitely have to suffer some hardships, if you are not afraid of suffering and sinning, then I can tell you." ”

"General, please say, as long as you can serve the lord, you can not even be a head, let alone suffer hardships?" Mr. Jiang Gan, who was really loyal to Deputy Director Tao, didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately asked.

"Then I said, first declare, this is Lord Yang's idea, if Lord Jiang thinks it is inappropriate, you can go to Lord Yang to settle accounts, it has nothing to do with me." Li Lang made another statement, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, it's very simple, just take two steps, my lord, you first send your entourage out to inquire about the location of Zhuge Xuan's mansion, find out where Zhuge Xuan lives, and deliberately let Jingzhou Xizuo, who is secretly monitoring us, know that we are looking for Zhuge Xuan." Then my lord, you went to see Zhuge Xuan in person overnight, and deliberately put on the clothes of the people to let Jingzhou Xizuo know that you didn't do good things, and then the Jingzhou soldiers stopped you and searched for them, and the letters and gifts fell into Liu Biao's hands reasonably. ”

"Mr. Zhongming really has a brilliant plan!" Mr. Jiang Gan didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately applauded and said: "That's it, anyway, my coming to discuss the peace treaty this time is just a pretense, it doesn't matter if I can see Liu Biao or not, I'll do it tomorrow!" ”

"Master Jiang, are you listening to me say that it is intact?" General Li Lang rolled his eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Yang, he has also analyzed two variables of this plan, one is that Jingzhou is as stupid as a pig and does not notice that we are investigating where Zhuge Xuan's house is, and the other is that the Jingzhou army has a long line to catch big fish, deliberately not intercepting you on the way, letting you enter Zhuge Xuan's house to hand over letters and gifts, and then eavesdropping on your answer to Zhuge Xuan. If one of these two variables appears, then our mission this time will be in vain, and you and I will only suffer in vain. ”

"Mr. Zhongming is smart, there are indeed these two possibilities!" Mr. Jiang Gan exclaimed, and then hurriedly asked, "If these two possibilities appear, what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Yang is clever and has already prepared countermeasures." Li Lang smiled, beckoned Jiang Gan to the front, and then attached it to Mr. Jiang Gan's ear, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yang and I have both been to Xiangyang, and we know that the pattern of Xiangyang is the same as that of Xuchang, they are rich in the east and rich in the west, cheap in the south and poor in the north, and the incumbent officials and Jingzhou magnates all live in the area of Xiangyang Xicheng. So, if those two variables appear, you ............ adults. ”

After finally hearing what Li Lang said, Mr. Jiang Gan was already laughing from ear to ear, and said in a loud voice: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Mr. Zhongming's divine calculation, I'm afraid that even the lord can't reach it, such a clever plan, even if the enemy is prepared, he can't tell Zhuge Xuanchang a hundred mouths! ”

"Of course, Yang Lao is not good in other aspects, in terms of pit people and harm others, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can catch up with him." General Li Lang snorted coldly in his heart, and then said lazily: "Lord Jiang, tomorrow we will go our separate ways, you go to clean up Zhuge Xuan, I will find an opportunity to disguise myself and go out of the city in the afternoon, and go to Huangjiawan to carry out another mission assigned by the lord, and I will return to the city the day after tomorrow to inquire about your situation, and try to meet you." ”

"The lord still has an envoy?" Jiang Gan asked in surprise.

"Yes, but sorry I can't tell you."

Li Lang replied casually, Mr. Jiang Gan, who had a good character, nodded quickly, and sure enough, he didn't dare to ask again, and Li Lang scolded in his heart: "The goddamn old pervert Yang doesn't care about Lao Tzu's life or death at all!" He actually asked Lao Tzu to hand over the letter to the fine work lurking in Xiangyang City, and let the fine work go to Huangjiawan to deliver the letter? Lao Tzu is not so stupid! Jiang Lao is not afraid of death, what if Liu Biao Lao'er goes crazy and cuts Lao Tzu down? The letter to Huang Shuo Lao Tzu will deliver it by himself, as long as he goes out of the city, Jiang Lao Fool and his entourage will fall to the ground together, and Lao Tzu can also take the opportunity to run away!
