Chapter 608: Intricate

"There is a conspiracy!"

Hearing this shout, Wang Yu almost burst out laughing, and the expressions on the faces of everyone present were also very strange, and they looked very uncomfortable.

After finishing the conversation with Qiao Yu, Wang Yu pondered most of it with his heart, but there were still some details that he hadn't thought too clearly, so he simply gathered everyone and brainstormed. As a result, as soon as the words were finished and the others were still pondering, Wei Yan, a conspiracy theorist, was the first to jump out and shout out his signature mantra.

"There's a conspiracy?" Everyone else is more or less used to it, only Xu Sheng, an honest boy, believes it, and looks at Wei Yan with round eyes, unable to figure out what kind of conspiracy will be brewing in a seemingly simple matter.

"Xiang, you're good at everything, but you're too kind."

Wei Yan patted Xu Sheng's shoulder with a big grin, sighed, and said, "Isn't this obvious?" Beauty Trick! Think about it, how many years ago did Qiao Mao ask the lord for a kiss, if the Qiao family really had a heart, no matter how much trouble there was, they wouldn't be able to stop them. If you can move your family from Suiyang to Anhui County, why can't you go to Fenggao? ”

He said conclusively: "Now, the Qiao family must have colluded with Yuan Shu, and they want to go to Anhui County in the name of marrying, and then take the opportunity to cause harm!" Think about it, now Yuan Shu is so frightened, in order to avoid the lord's soldiers, he didn't even want Peng Cheng in his hands, and gave it to Liu Bei. Isn't it normal for a dog to jump over a wall in a hurry? Conspiracy, conspiracy for sure! ”

Thinking about it along this line of thought, Wang Yu found that Wei Yan's conspiracy theory was not unreasonable.

When he tried to marry Lu Bu before, he had a thought and planned to go to Luoyang in person. Although the trip could not be made due to various reasons, if you have some understanding of the initial negotiations between the two sides. You can also infer your own attitude, and it is not necessarily impossible to make a decision on this point.

Of course, Wei Yan's thoughts are still extreme, and he wants to calculate himself? Yuan Shu may not have that courage, and the Qiao family may not have such determination.

Before Wang Yu could speak, Zhao Yun had already questioned: "With Yuan Shu's fear of the lord, he may not have the courage. The heroism of the lord, he has witnessed it since the beginning of the lord's fame. Even if the lord rode south, would he be sure that he would be able to calculate the lord? ”

Zhao Yun's idea was straightforward, Yuan Shu, the nominal history of Yangzhou Thorn, actually occupied only half of Runan and Huainan County, and the rest of the country was similar to Lujiang County. Nominally under the rule of Yuan Shu, but in reality it was controlled by local forces.

This place in Anhui County is adjacent to the Yangtze River, and the waterway is smooth. Sun Ce had been in charge of Jiangdong for less than a year, and he was still far from completely taking possession of Jiangdong, and it was impossible to build a powerful naval army to carry out such a difficult military operation as blockading the river.

And the Qingzhou Navy was as early as the beginning of the Hebei War. I once competed with Liu Xuan's army on the Yangtze River, although it was a sneak attack, but it ended in a complete victory, and the reputation must have resounded on both sides of the river. Yuan Shu no longer has foresight, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

Under such conditions, he wanted to besiege and kill the elite light cavalry led by Wang Yu and Zhao Yun himself. It's not a lot of difficulty.

"Although Yuan Shu has shown hostility in recent days, he has never confronted our army head-on. It can be seen that he knows the temper of the lord very well, how can he pin his hope of success on such a small probability event? Once defeated, all the officers and men of our army will be enraged and go south with all their might, what will he resist? ”

Zhao Yun said: "What's more, that beauty's plan is pure nonsense!" The lord is an upright person, but is it a person who ignores the great cause and comes out lightly for the sake of mere beauty? In the long run, it is really too much to worry about, and there is no need to mention it again. ”

Zhao Yun's words were righteous, Wei Yan was not easy to refute for a while, but Wang Yu himself was embarrassed, to be honest, when Wei Yan said the beauty plan, he really felt related.

This has nothing to do with the feelings for the wife at home, and it has nothing to do with the character, think about it, that's Erqiao, how many people write about the beauty of the country! In the future generations, if it is opened, and when you see Ermei, you will not eat for three days, and the people who sign up will definitely be able to break through the triumphal arch, Er Qiao, isn't it much more attractive than those stars in later generations?

Wang Yu really wanted to take a look, and if he could marry home, of course he would be very happy. It's just that now that Zhao Yun said this, it's not good for him to continue to show his meaning in this regard, after all, he is an 'upright' person, so it's not good to spoil his image in the hearts of his henchmen.

"From Yi Liang's point of view, the Qiao family is not necessarily here for conspiracy, maybe it's just a coincidence." Wei Yan's conspiracy theory was just out of ability, and he himself felt untenable when he was refuted by Zhao Yun like this, but when Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened again, looking at that posture, he would make a comeback at any time.

Zhuge Liang also knew that this opponent was pestering, and he didn't dare to leave a chance for the other party, so he asked Wang Yu: "Dare to ask the lord, does Duke Qiao have the intention of inviting you to Anhui County to welcome your relatives?" ”

"Not really." Wang Yu shook his head, half of the time Qiao Yu's conversation with himself was spent reminiscing about the old - although there is nothing old on both sides, even if Qiao Mao and himself have only one side, where is the old to tell? The other half of the time was complaining, complaining about Yuan Shu's arrogance and Lu Kang's stubbornness, asking for help, but only mentioned it at the end.

"Then, did he say that he would move his family to the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and ask the lord to send troops to respond?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Not either."

Although Zhuge Liang did not directly refute Wei Yan's conspiracy theory, with so many smart people present, it was enough to say this.

The Qiao family did not invite them, that is, let Wang Yu try to save them. And even if Wang Yu likes to take risks, it is impossible to make such a decision to go south to welcome his relatives in person, even if he does, everyone will definitely do their best to advise.

With Qingzhou's strength, it couldn't be easier to solve such a trivial matter as the Qiao family, so why take such a risk? Even if he mobilized a large army to go south and went all out to attack Jianghuai, it was more reliable than Wang Yu's light cavalry to the south.

Although Yuan Shu didn't have much foresight, it seemed that he would take great pains to come up with a conspiracy with such a low chance of success, and he seemed to look down on him too much.

"Having said that, there is one thing that the lord must not worry about, the reason why the Qiao family is asking for help is too far-fetched."

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to make a summary, Zhang Jaw suddenly interjected: "The Qiao family insists on refusing to have a relationship with Yuan Shu, and there seems to be something debatable about it. Although the second daughter of the Qiao family is a concubine, it may not be how to compare with the safety of the family, although it is against the norm for Yuan Shu's father and son to marry the two sisters, but in the family of the minister, it may not be shocking to the world, why did the Qiao family refuse? What kind of agreement Qiao Mao made with the prince that day is not known to outsiders, if he did not connect with Yuan Shu, but was oppressed by Lu Kang and wanted to plot against the lord? ”

"Lu Kang plotted to be the master? Brother Jun is too worried, right? Zhao Yun said in surprise.

"Zilong doesn't know." Zhang Jaw shook his head with a serious expression: "Lu Kang is a famous minister in the court, the first emperor wanted to cast gold people to raise taxes, Lu Kang once admonished bitterly, if it wasn't for Liu Dai in the middle of the circle, he would almost be punished for the crime of disrespect." With this favor, if he wants to take revenge by plotting to kill the lord, it is not completely unreasonable. In addition, this person is from Wu County, and the Sun family is also from Wu County, so if there is some collusion between the two, it is not impossible to say that there is some collusion. ”

Zhang Jaw is old and early, and he is more familiar with some old anecdotes in the court than everyone present. Wang Yu hadn't heard of Lu Kang at all, but he said casually, but he was like a treasure.

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Yu was slightly surprised and turned to Pang Tong.

A month ago, he put Pang Tong in charge of intelligence work in Xuzhou, and informed Gao Tang about it. Who knew that Jia Xu would be lazier than he imagined, and he simply threw the information of Huainan and Jiangdong to his disciples, and said that it was only a job in one state, which was not very difficult.

Well, Huainan and Jiangdong were nominally under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, but the division of administrative regions in the Han Dynasty was actually not particularly reasonable. According to Wang Yu's speculation, the main criterion for the division of administrative regions in the Han Dynasty should be population, not land area. And this division does not mean to keep pace with the times, so it has formed a freak like Yangzhou.

In fact, the area of Youzhou is not smaller than that of Yangzhou, but after all, it is a bitter cold place, even if there is no threat of alien races, it is not suitable for the reproduction of a large number of people. And what is Yangzhou? During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Eastern Wu actually occupied only half of Yangzhou, plus half of Jingzhou.

Jia Xu didn't feel sorry for his disciple, Wang Yu was a little worried, but seeing Pang Tong's own happy appearance, he had nothing to say, so he could only let it be.

Pang Tong thought about it sideways, and soon had an answer: "Lu Kang, the word Jining, after the Wu Jun Wang clan." His grandfather was one after another, Jianwu was Shang Shuling, and his father Lu Bao was a famous hermit at that time, and he was repeatedly ...... As General Jun Yi said, he has a relationship with the Liu Dai brothers, but his people studied under Zang Min, and they are actually somewhat involved with the lord. ”

Pang Tong's ability to never forget made Wang Yu very envious, if he had this matter, he would not remember the characters and information of the Three Kingdoms, so why bother to think hard?

But he sighed more in his heart, the relationship between people is too complicated, Lu Kang should not be an important person in the Qingzhou intelligence system, but when it comes to information, there are still so many things.

"Something to do with me?" When he heard the last sentence, he was directly startled.

"Zang Min is the father of Zang Hong, and the alliance of the princes that day is the one drafted by Hong...... Hong was under the command of Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, and later Cao Cao attacked Chen Liu, but Chao could not resist, so he ran to Miao, and now both of them are in Puyang. Pang Tong continued to show his amazing memory, and made it clear about the relationships involved in Lu Kang.

"So...... Could this really be a conspiracy? Zhang Jaw was surprised to hear this, and at the same time, he was more confirmed by the idea he had put forward earlier.

"Shiyuan has worked hard." Wang Yu nodded to Pang Tong, and then shook his head at Zhang Jaw and Wei Yan: "It's too early to make a conclusion on this, the Qiao family refuses to marry Yuan Shu, the biggest reason is ......" He paused slightly, looked around the scene, and when everyone listened with bated breath, he gently spit out a few words, which exploded on the spot like thunder: "Yuan Shu has the intention of being called the emperor!" ”
