Listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shang's eyes became a little deep.

He knew that some things were not as simple as he imagined.

Before Sima Yi went to Bohai to supervise the construction of the naval division's warships, he secretly instructed the person in charge of the outpost to focus on Yan Xing, and repeatedly stated that it was the most important thing.

Although Yuan Shang himself did not ask about this matter, he was the lord of Yecheng after all, and he probably knew a little.

Now that Guo Tu has temporarily taken over this part of the official business, something happened to Yan Xing, and he must have secretly deployed manpower to disrupt Sima Yi's arrangement.

Yuan Shang's profound eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his heart at a glance, Guo Tu was panicked by him, his face was pale, his teeth chattered, the cold sweat on his forehead slowly flowed, he wanted to kneel but didn't dare to return, and he couldn't cry if he wanted to cry.

Guo Tu regrets it!

There is such a situation in Guanzhong, although he is not in charge, but he is responsible for the poor arrangement of information, such a big thing, under the anger of the lord's thunder, he will definitely deal with him, he himself will not escape death, but I am afraid that it will also harm the three clans.

The Guo family is also a bit powerful in Hebei at present, but in the face of Yuan Shang, who is now holding power tightly, what is the use of the big family? It's not the result of a burp in a word.

Guo Tu really wants to cry now, he has no malice, just a little conceited, plus he is not convinced by Sima Yi's scheduling, but now he has such a result.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and in the hall, they held each other so mysteriously for a long time.

Finally, Yuan Shang sighed secretly.

Guo Tu was at fault, but the matter of stalking Yan Xing was secretly advised by Sima Yi, there was no famous text allocation, although he did not stop it, but he did not support it in person, that is to say, Sima Yi's deployment did not conform to the law.

In this way, Guo Tu has the power to abolish it, and there is a time when there is war in Guan. Guo Tu made adjustments to the personnel layout for the main reconnaissance of foreign enemies, which is a normal person's proper measure, and it is understandable originally, of course, it may involve some personal factors of his heart......

Guo Tu should be punished, but he is not guilty of death, and the person who should be punished more may be himself.

The results proved that Guo Tu's arrangement was indeed wrong, and his crime should be punished, but if you calculate it carefully, the person who should really be punished. Aren't you one?

Before the Battle of Guanzhong defeated Cao Cao, Yan Xing saved Ma Teng and caused the tide of battle to be reversed, and he made great contributions. In addition, Yan Xing is indeed brave and brave, and he is not under Ma Chao, Yuan Shang is indeed appreciated from the bottom of his heart......

Today, disasters have arisen, and these bitter fruits were not planted by oneself because of the lack of judgment at the beginning?

But if it's someone else. And how?

When dealing with the enemy, Yuan Shang can use any skill, but when it comes to his own people, Yuan Shang's style has always been very protective of calves.

"Guo Tu. Are you convicted? After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shang finally spoke slowly.

Guo Tu knelt on the ground with a "poof": "My subordinates are derelict in their duties...... There is hatred among subordinates! Please, the Lord to condemn you! ”

Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Tomorrow." You will unload all your duties, go to the Tingwei's Mansion to receive forty lashes, and then go to Yecheng Ma Si to receive the order. I'll say hello in advance and ask them to arrange for you to sweep the dung balls in the war stables in Hebei............ When do you feel that enough punishment has been done for yourself, when will you come back to me. ”

Guo Tu was shocked when he heard this, his tone trembled, his head was short-circuited because of a moment of panic or excitement, and he asked a very idiotic word.

"Lord...... Don't you destroy my three tribes? ”

Yuan Shang's eyebrows raised, and his face sank.

It's a cheap crime again! I do seem to be a little too kind to this kind of foolishness.

"If you have to ask me to do this, Yuan is not unable to fulfill you...... Do you have a grudge against your family? I'll take this opportunity to help you report. ”

Guo Tu pondered and pondered, and when he recalled it, he was frightened, and hurriedly buckled his head: "No need, no need, my subordinates will go to the stable to sweep the dung ball...... Ball ......"

"Get out of here!"

****************************

After Guo Tu left, Yuan Shang locked himself in the hall, calmed down, and fell into deep contemplation.

Guo Tu brought back all the news, but there has been no movement on Zhao Yun's side so far, Yan Xing has an incident, and the person he has to deal with must be Zhao Yun! When he was in control of the Six Counties, Zhao Yun was fighting against Song Jian, and the Six Counties were facing Zhao Yun's rear...... From this point of view, Zhao Yun is only afraid that there will be more luck than luck.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but ache.

Zhao Yun is his close subordinate and his confidant and friend, what happened to him......

Yuan Shang let out a long sigh, put these personal thoughts behind him for the time being, and pulled his thoughts back to the matter of Guanzhong.

Once something happens to Zhao Yun, the dragons in Guanzhong will be leaderless, and there will be chaos!

Not only is it anti-Wang Song Jian, but also rebellious Yan Xing, but I am afraid of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the ethnic minorities in Bazhou, the Xiqiang tribes, and the small princes who once returned to Shun...... Maybe there is also Liu Xie, the son of the day, who will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Hebei is currently in the stage of great prosperity of government affairs, at this time, who can turn the tide? Knock out all these bastards who robbed by fire?

Sima Yi and Gan Ning are supervising the construction of the water division and cannot be adjusted.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xiao Ji, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Wang Shuang and other capable generals in Jizhou led their Chinese army to be busy with the relocation of Xianbei, and the manpower is not enough at present......

Zhang Yan and the old Ministry of Montenegro pacified Dingchang, and after the two thieves of Shang, in order to cooperate with the immigration, they were also sorting out the affairs of Taiyuan.

General Zhang He, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang and other good generals, commanded 80,000 soldiers and horses in Liyang, and fought against Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Cao Zhang and other main forces in Zhongzhou.

The Ma brothers charged into battle, and their bravery was abnormal, but they were available! However, the matter in Guanzhong is currently chaotic, and it cannot be solved by simply fighting, and it is not appropriate to let these generals who only know how to be brave and brave lead the army alone.

counted a big circle, and in the end, Yuan Shang still fell on his head.

Well, judging from the current situation, you have to go out in person and go to Guanzhong to spread the mess......

Yan Xing's rebellion, Song Jian's 100,000 rebels, Zhang Lu's Hanzhong tribes, the uneasy elements among the Qiang people, and the ethnic minorities in Bazhou. And if the Son of Heaven wants to be seized............

Either you don't go, and since you're going, you're going to settle these guys.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang immediately chose a general.

Among the generals who can be used, the most useful ones are undoubtedly Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai brothers, plus Liangzhou general Pang De and others, plus some Sun Qing. Li Damu, Wang Dang, Wang Zhao, Zhao Rui and some other assistants...... The school will be sufficient.

On the premise of not affecting the conduct of other important affairs in Hebei, there are only high-ranking troops in the state army - it is estimated that about 30,000 can be dispatched immediately.

Sounds a bit thin......

Yuan Shang was a little worried, if Yan Xing was really opposed, it was not clear how many soldiers and horses he could gather for the time being, but there were more than 100,000 people under Song Jian's command. Zhang Lu was defeated by Zhao Yun and lost a lot of people, if he was restless, the soldiers in Hanzhong were estimated to be able to fight for about 30,000. The ethnic minorities in Bazhou can add up to 10,000 or 20,000, and the Son of Heaven has a few thousand soldiers, although it is negligible, but it is also the division of the royal road.

Now the most unstable. The biggest variable factor is the Qiang!

Since Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, surrendered to King Hutu and established the four counties of Hexi by the evil king, the border of Xisai has always been a mixed residence of Qiang and Han. For hundreds of years, because of unequal treatment, the Qiang and Han people have always been in constant disputes, repeatedly rebelled, and repeatedly suppressed, and the Han Dynasty has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on suppressing the Qiang rebellion in the past hundred years!

Especially in recent decades, the warlords of the Han Dynasty have fought civil wars, and the Qiang people on the border have become more and more restless, and the power has become more and more powerful. Many years ago, there were Qiang-Han mixed-race Ma Teng and Han Sui and others, but the disaster was not deep.

Since Yuan Shang commanded Guanzhong, he also sent Pang De, Ma Dai and others to pacify the Qiang tribes and stabilize the border situation in Liangzhou, but at that time it was the end of the Yuan Cao War, Yuan Shang was in full swing, Guanzhong tended to be stable, and the Ma family and Yan Xing were attached, and the Qiang people would not and did not dare to have dissent.

Now that Zhao Yun's situation is unknown, Yongliang and Erzhou have become chaotic, Song Jian and others have caused trouble, Yan Xing has rebelled, Yongliang has been in turmoil, and it is difficult to say what the current mentality of the Qiang tribes is......

There are many households in various tribes of the Qiang nationality, tens of thousands of households, and once they join up and rebel, they can gather together, saying less about 60,000 or 70,000, and more about 150,000 or 60,000......

Yuan Shang rubbed his temples, stood up and began to walk back and forth in the hall.

If it is calculated in this way, under the urgency of the situation, he led 30,000 and the state army into the pass to quell the chaos, and the opponents conservatively estimated that the total was about 200,000, if the situation was the worst, 300,000 people would not be able to fight!

The quality is hard or not, not to mention, just talking about these 30,000 versus 300,000, it sounds like it makes people feel like they don't have much head......

After pondering for a while, the light bulb in Yuan Shang's mind suddenly lit up.

He stood up abruptly and instructed the guards outside the door: "Someone, pass my order, arrange a three-person banquet in the side hall, and I will invite two people to dinner in the evening!" ”

The two people that Yuan Shang wanted to invite to dinner were important trump cards that he thought could help him win more with less, turn the tide, and stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.

************************

After the banquet was arranged, Yuan Shang immediately ordered someone to send an invitation and sent two carriages to pick up people, while Yuan Shang stood in front of the mansion, dressed in a brocade dress, and greeted him personally.

When the time for the dinner came, the two carriages that were sent out returned to the mansion carrying the people who Yuan Shang considered to be the two trump cards.

As soon as the curtain of the car was opened, I saw the tall and majestic-looking Xiahou Yuan stepping down from the first car!

Xiahou Yuan was still the same, with a majestic face and arrogance, he touched the tiger whiskers on his chin, a pair of copper bell eyes rolled up and down, and looked at Yuan Shang who greeted him at the door, as if he was trying to figure out Yuan Shang's thoughts, and also seemed to be weighing Yuan Shang's intentions.

Yuan Shang waved his hand towards Xiahou Yuan with a smile on his face and stepped forward to salute.

"My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law, and my father-in-law is really hard here."

Xiahou Yuan's face was expressionless, he looked at Yuan Shang as if he would never be happy, when facing Yuan Shang, his face was always flat, even if the other party specially invited him to dinner...... It's as if he paid for the meal.

"It's not hard!" Xiahou Yuan's tone didn't have a trace of friendliness: "What's the hard work of having a meal!" Just have a long mouth! ”

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "My father-in-law's humor is good...... But why do I have a straight face every time I see you, why can't you have fun when you look at me? ”

Xiahou Yuan glanced at Yuan Shang coldly, yin and yang weird: "Look at you? Hum! Am I happy? ”

Yuan Shang's expression was a little aggrieved: "That's weird, you look at me unhappy, why are you happy every time you look at little Yuan Yi?" Anyway, it's also my daughter, father and daughter are connected, they look like each other, and they are also surnamed Yuan, is my father-in-law a little favoritism? ”

Xiahou Yuan pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Is she your daughter, or my granddaughter!" Yi'er is cute, she can make me happy! She's fun and interesting! Can you let me play? ”

Yuan Shang's eyes widened in horror: "Father-in-law, if I understand correctly, what do you mean by this, is it that you have been playing with my daughter a lot recently?" ”

“…………”

It's really hard to talk to Yuan Shang, a bastard, and I have an urge to kill people with a stick.

Xiahou Yuan scraped Yuan Shangsan with his sharp eyes, like a thunderbolt of lightning!

If you can compare your eyes to a knife, Xiahou Yuan's glances can directly sweep away the three layers of skin on Yuan Shang's face, and it will be directly exposed. The X-rays of later generations are estimated to be less effective than those of him.

"Are you going to invite me to dinner? Don't eat I'll go back! Good wine and good food are prepared at home, no worse than you! ”

Yuan Shang sighed secretly, complaining in his heart.

You are now living in Yecheng, it seems that the food in your house is also eating mine, right?

No wonder from ancient times to the present, the old man and the uncle have not dealt with each other, and the reason for this is because these old men are all wolves who can't be fed!

I don't have a conscience.

Yuan Shang waved his hand, made a gesture of please, and said, "Father-in-law, please enter the mansion first, and the son-in-law will receive another distinguished guest, and he will accompany him in the past later." ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard that someone else was coming, he glanced at Yuan Shang hesitantly, but he didn't say anything, and strode into the mansion.

Seeing Xiahou Yuan enter the mansion, Yuan Shang immediately turned around and walked to another carriage.

He stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the car, looking around inside, and Zhong Xuan, who was hesitant and didn't dare to get out of the car, showed a friendly smile.

"Zhong Servant, why don't you come down when you get to the place, how rude is it to hide in the car all the time?"

After Zhong Xuan was captured alive, he let Yuan Shang calculate.

In order to let him give birth to the excellent breeding bell in advance, Yuan Shang specially configured dozens of beautiful prostitutes for him to crossbreed, although the seeds have been born, but the dozens of prostitutes did not go, they were all Yuan Shang generously shook his hand, gave Zhong Xuan, stayed in Yecheng Zhongfu as a maidservant, and continued to cross with him by the way, to see if he could produce better varieties, all the women's monthly consumption by Yuan Shang is responsible for it, the lord of Hebei is rare and generous.

Judging from Zhong Xuan's high and bulging cheekbones, collapsed cheeks, and thinner and thinner appearance, you can know that Zhong Xuan's life in Yecheng is definitely very romantic.

Seeing Yuan Shang appear, Zhong Xuan's whole body suddenly shuddered, and he hesitated and swept out again, as if he was looking for something.

The outside of the car was empty, except for Yuan Shang and a few attendants, there was nothing.

Zhong Xuan let out a sigh and lowered his voice: "Tonight's meal, you won't arrange for the old man to be served by women, right?" The old man asked Hua Tuo to help me check my pulse two days ago, and Dr. Hua said that my kidney was ......"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhong Xuan's worried look, and immediately changed to a sunny smile.

"Zhong Servant, don't worry, Yuan assures you, let's be vegetarian tonight."

"............" (To be continued......)
