As soon as Sun Ce died, a gap appeared in the fortress of the four cooperative families, no matter what the cause of his death was, it always hit the morale of the Jiangdong side.

Fortunately, as the trend of history, Sun Quan finally stepped forward.

With the support of Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, inheriting the foundation of his father and brother, the six counties of Jiangdong, which had caused panic because of Sun Ce's assassination, finally settled down under Sun Quan's dispatch.

"This son is not inferior to his father and brother."

Tian Feng and others, who received the news, were all emotional, Du Xian, who had just finished the mission to Jingzhou, was also present, and the generals and strategists in the hall sat separately and distinctly, and Yuan Shang was in the first place.

Yuan Shang was not surprised that Sun Quan came out of the town at the critical moment, but he just sighed a little in his heart, but then again, this Sun Quan is much more difficult to deal with than Sun Jian and Sun Ce, the first two still have the inherent tough style of a soldier, and they act in a principled manner, while Sun Quan is different, all kinds of means dare to be used, in order to get rid of Liu Bei, even his own sister can be sacrificed, this kind of person is more difficult than Sun Jian and Sun Ce.

"Sun Quan inherited the inheritance of his father and brother, and in order to cultivate his personal prestige, he must actively participate in the alliance of the four families to seek greater benefits, which is not good news for our army." Yuan Shang said indifferently.

When Tian Feng and the others heard this, they nodded slightly, but they heard Xu Youang's voice say: "The four families joining forces are not intimate, our army is strong at the moment, and it is completely possible to choose one as a breakthrough, and the art of war has the cloud to fight and then fight, since the four families choose to join forces, they may not be able to become a state of brothers, which gives me a chance to pry the root of the wall." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Shangpan's sitting body straightened slightly. looked at Xu You, who looked a little obscene. He said in a deep voice: "Tell me what you think." ”

Xu You's expression perked up slightly. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Yangzhou." ”

Xu You's small eyes looked at Yuan Shang deeply, and said in a low voice: "The lord and Yuan Shu are of the same clan, not to mention the grievances of the fathers back then, but over the years, the lord has not been rude to Yuan Shu, so it gives me room to turn around." ”

"He won't come down to me." Yuan Shang heard this. After a moment's thought, he frowned.

Xu You smiled: "How can a careerist who privately hides the jade seal of the country be willing to become a vassal of the younger generations, Yuan Shu's heart is very deep, but it is precisely because of this that the lord is given a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Tian Feng and Du Xian, Ju Yi, Wang Ling and others all showed thoughtful expressions, but Yuan Shang couldn't see the change in his expression, and his eyes, which were becoming deeper and deeper and bottomless, froze on Xu You's body.

Xu You didn't dare to put on a score in front of Yuan Shang, and continued: "Yuan Shu is a talented person. This is undeniable, but. He is not a wise lord, his vision is too narrow, and he will eventually lose his life because of the immediate interests, Yuan Shu's subordinates have been in contact with him many times, and he knows his temperament, as long as he is given enough benefits, it is just a casual move to insert an ally from behind at a critical moment. ”

A trace of light flashed in Yuan Shang's eyes, he stood up, looked down at Xu Yu from a high place, and said in a low voice: "Are you sure?" ”

Xu You sat down, looked up at Yuan Shang, his body trembled uncontrollably, after so many years, Yuan Shang is no longer the young man with surging blood at the beginning, many years of career as the lord, his body naturally exudes an awe-inspiring momentum, that is, Xu You has experienced strong winds and waves and still has an inexplicable tremor in his heart, of course, it is not that he is weak-hearted, but he was temporarily captured by a majestic breath.

sighed inexplicably in his heart, and Xu You's expression was even more respectful: "The subordinates have at least five layers of certainty, but they don't dare to say everything." ”

"Five Floors"

Yuan Shang touched his smooth chin and said indifferently: "Enough." ”

His gaze still lingered on Xu You's body, and he was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are responsible for this matter, Ben will give you the greatest authority, as long as you feel that you are worthy of this price, you can call the shots, of course, the premise is that it can come in handy at a critical moment, do you know what I mean?" ”

When Xu You heard this, his heart shook slightly, although he has also been reused under Yuan Shang in recent years, but it is the first time that he has been directly granted great authority like this, and usually only some veterans with heavy lives and Tian Feng are qualified to grant two or three people, and now he Xu You has also been granted such permissions, after a short period of surprise, Xu You couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He is a person who is not very broad-minded, he has always been pressed by Tian Feng's frustration and judgment, and then Pang Tongxiang is also riding on his neck, and now he is given the authority to act cheaply, in his opinion, it is a signal that he is ready to mention him again, and now the posture of the tiger and wolf army sweeping the world has become increasingly apparent, and everyone can see how high Yuan Shang's heart is, as an old man who may have the skill of following the dragon, Xu You will naturally not give up any opportunity to show himself in front of Yuan Shang.

"The subordinates promised with the head of the Xiang Shang, if they can't succeed in plotting against Yuan Shu, they are willing to come to see him." Xu Yu said with a solemn expression.

"Good."

Yuan Shang smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ziyuan will do his best." ”

When Xu You sat down, he heard Yuan Shang say: "Youzhou is getting more and more troublesome, you should have heard about it, right?" ”

Ju Yi, as a benchmark figure in the military, was naturally the first to stand up, but when he saw him, he said with a sword eyebrow: "A few clowns who jump off the beam, if Zang Ba and Gao Shun can't be equaled, the last general is willing to personally lead the troops and take the dog heads of Na Bandun and Gongsun Kang." ”

"If you are a clown jumping off the beam, why do you need General Ju Yi to come out"

But it was Wang Linglang, the main general of the wolf cavalry, who said loudly: "The last general and the three thousand wolf riders are ready to go, and they only need an order from the lord to take the heads of the two thieves to come to the audience." ”

"Haha"

Yuan Shang laughed heartily, seeing that Jin Million was also about to get up, he waved his arm to signal the generals in the hall to sit down, and comforted: "You and the others are all fierce generals in the world, just Gongsun Kang and Pandan are traitors, Zang Ba and Gao Shun are enough to pacify, but now our army is actively moving south, and the strength in the north is slightly thin, which gives the other party an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Ju Yi Wang Lingjin million generals heard this. That's it. Just the news from Youzhou yesterday. The counties of Youzhou suffered from rebellion, and in the past few days, people have fled from Youzhou to merge with the state, Gongsun Kang and Badun's momentum is very large, but it has made the people panic in the state, but fortunately, the tiger and wolf army has always been brave, and the strength of the state is a little stronger than Youzhou, so Gongsun Kang and the troops of the state did not dare to harm the state.

"Where have the two generals, Zang and Gao, arrived?" Tian Feng frowned and said, he is the second-in-command in managing internal affairs. Known as the hidden phase, Gongsun Kang rebelled with Badun, but he was not afraid that he would not be able to drive away these traitors, but he was worried that the people's livelihood in Youzhou would be affected by a non-negligible impact, and it would take several years to recover, which was not what he wanted to see.

In this ancient period when transportation and communication were not very developed, the dispatch of troops was a more troublesome process, often after receiving orders from above, the following generals gathered their corporals to set off to rush to a longer or shorter time, which mainly depends on whether the soldiers and horses are well-trained. and whether the delivery of intelligence is timely.

The Youzhou Rebellion has been happening for seven or eight days, and it has been from the transfer of troops to the dispatch of troops. It took at least three or four days, which was already a relatively quick response, but Tian Feng was still a little dissatisfied, you know, one day late, the damage to Youzhou would be even heavier, he didn't want to wipe out Gongsun Kang and Bang Dun at that time, but leave a mess of life.

"According to the calculation of time, Zang and the sophomore generals should have entered Youzhou at this moment." Du Xun picked up the conversation and responded.

"The original intelligence department and the Falcon intelligence team in Youzhou have suffered a lot of bruises, and several strongholds have been rebuilt at this time, but they may be affected in a short period of time, so the speed of the army entering Youzhou may be delayed by one to two days." In the most remote corner, Ziyang, who rarely appeared in the Great General's Mansion, suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse, as if he hadn't opened his mouth for many years.

Ziyang didn't speak, and many people subconsciously forgot about his existence, but the next second he spoke, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.

Yuan Shang's face was gloomy and cloudy, and his voice was a little gloomy: "How did Badun and Gongsun Kang get the information about the location of the Intelligence Department and the Falcon Intelligence Team, Ziyang, you can explain this." ”

Ziyang's face revealed a miserable paleness, and after many years of hiding in the dark, his face has always been so pale, like a terminally ill person who is about to die.

"It's the subordinate management that has a problem."

Ziyang didn't make excuses for his mistakes, got up and knelt on the ground, touched the cold floor with his forehead, and said in a low voice: "The second director of the Youzhou station is Gongsun Kang's person, over the years, the intelligence department has been too smooth, causing many people in the interior to slack. ”

Everyone in the hall, except for the golden million, the rest all looked at the scene in front of them with a little meaning, as the leader of the intelligence department, Ziyang's existence is too outstanding, even Tian Feng is also avoiding it, very few people can be so lucky to see the famous Ziyang kneeling on the ground, like a humble ant.

Jin Million looked at Ziyang with a little worry, he and Ziyang were both born in the Runan Compound, and they also had a lifelong friendship, if it weren't for Ziyang's identity being too special, he would have already defended him a few words.

Yuan Shang's face couldn't show his attitude, and he looked at Ziyang, who was kneeling on the ground, with the heavenly spirit covering the floor, and suddenly waved his arm.

With a crisp sound, everyone followed the reputation, but saw that there was an extra dagger in front of Ziyang.

"My lord..."

Jin Million's face changed greatly, and he was about to get up, but he was held down by Wang Ling beside him.

"One finger."

Yuan Shang's voice was cold: "From the moment you set foot in the intelligence department, you should understand that this kind of small mistake should not be made." ”

Ziyang raised his head slightly, looked at the dagger that was close at hand, and without hesitation, he grabbed the dagger with his left hand and swung it down suddenly.

Blood mist sprayed, and everyone in the hall was shocked, but they saw that Ziyang's right thumb and index finger were all cut off.

"One is the master's punishment to his subordinates, and the other is the punishment of his subordinates." Ziyang's pale face flashed a trace of ruddy weirdly, and two bloody fingers fell to the ground, and he didn't see his face looking down.

"Fourth...."

Jin Million sat down weakly, looked at Ziyang's right hand that was still bleeding, and couldn't bear to turn his head out of the door.

Ziyang and Golden Million Murong Wushuang and others are all henchmen who have followed him since childhood, and now that Ziyang has cut off two fingers, Yuan Shang is not without any emotions in his heart.

It's just that, as the lord and as the head of a faction, he is destined to hide these extra emotions in the deepest part of his heart.

"Go bandage it"

Yuan Shang looked at Ziyang deeply, took a deep breath, and swept his eyes to everyone in the hall, that look, everyone knew what he wanted to express.

There are rules to be round, Ziyang has already paid the price for his mistakes, and this matter has been revealed.

Everyone was convinced, but they were speechless. (To be continued......)
