Chapter 518: Sending troops to the Central Plains
Li Ru's words are very direct and frank, of course, at this time, he can't help but be frank, his life and death and the future road are all in Yuan Shang's words, instead of spending his life hastily in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, Li Ru simply gambled with this life, and he didn't have to live in a different place for the rest of his life......
Yuan Shang looked at Li Ru deeply, his face seemed to be thoughtful, and after thinking for a while, he finally saw a smile on his face.
"Well, in that case, I'll let you give it a try."
Hearing this, Li Ru finally let out a long breath, and a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
"But ......"
Suddenly, hearing Yuan Shang's words, he said faintly: "However, if you dare to betray me, what will become of your ending, I don't think I need to say more, right?" ”
When Li Ru heard this, his face suddenly tightened.
Yuan Shang continued to speak, and said word by word: "I will let you die worse than Yan Xing and Song Jian!" ”
Li Ru swallowed softly and took a mouthful of spit.
Yuan Shang turned around, walked to the table, opened a scroll, and began to move his pen on it.
"Take my edict, go to Tian Yu in Liaodong, contact the emperor there, do what you should do, and then report to me regularly, all the people, things, and money you need are provided to you by Tian Yu, you just have to open your mouth to him."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang stopped the pen in his hand and said: "My next step is to go south to conquer the Central Plains, before I take the Central Plains, you have to deal with this matter of the Son of Heaven clearly, this is the deadline I give you, understand?" ”
Hearing this, Li Ru hurriedly surrendered his hand and said: "Although the general can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely do this matter clearly and kill His Majesty the Son of Heaven." ”
Yuan Shang's eyebrows raised and said, "I'm different from Dong Zhuo. Don't die in front of me in the future, Yuan is not a bloodthirsty person, the word death is very uncultivated, there is no level, I don't like it very much. ”
Hearing this, Li Ru hurriedly shut up.
Yuan Shang blew the teacup and continued faintly: "Yuan Shang is used to using the word pit death. ”

***********************
Wei County, in the suburbs of the mountains, in a quiet grass house.
"Ahh Tong Fei let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound contained not only pain, but also anger and humiliation.
Below Tong Fei. A burly strong man was using herbs to apply herbs to the wound of the root of his crotch, although the big man's hand was so light that it couldn't be lighter, but the pain of cutting his heart and lungs still made Tong Fei tremble.
The big man stared at the root of Tong Fei's crotch carefully for a while, and suddenly sighed and spoke tentatively.
"General, cut it, it's all kicked and deformed, and it's become a crooked handle."
"Get out!" Tong Fei kicked the big man away and roared at him hoarsely. However, under the pull of the qi machine, it still pulled the sore spot under his crotch, as if it was overpowered.
This time, Tong Fei came to assassinate. It was ordered by the Son of Heaven and Xu Shu not to achieve any results, but to anger Yuan Shang and provoke the relationship between several princes.
Originally, it was the temperament of Tong Fei. disdainful of doing this, how could he resist the battle in Guanzhong, Yuan Shang collected the 3,000 Heavenly Army who wanted to make a profit. also let Zhang Xiu shoot Tong Fei with an arrow, making him lose at the hands of Ma Chao, Tong Fei was arrogant, how could he be willing to accept this insult and not report it? So, he took the initiative to be the mastermind of this assassination.
How can I steal chickens and rice, I didn't take revenge for the last arrow, and I was killed by my own father, this is ......
How to say this, how to shame people!
"Yuan Shang, Tong Yuan, you wait...... I'm not done with you! Tong Fei gritted his teeth and swore a secret curse in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the grass house, but a scout dressed up hurriedly returned and entered the house to report to Tong Fei.
Tong Fei provoked the pain, put on a lonely and arrogant appearance on weekdays, and asked the spy with a crack in his crotch, "What is the movement in Yecheng?" ”
When the spies heard this, they hurriedly said: "Yecheng has been blocked, all the counties and counties in Jizhou have been ordered to curfew, the Tingwei Mansion has wantonly taken people, and investigated everywhere, and all counties and counties have put on a posture of strict investigation and search, it seems that this time his wife was assassinated, and Yuan Shang was really angry!" ”
Tong Fei nodded, and suddenly said, "Then Yecheng, is there any sign of sending troops to fight Cao Liu?" ”
"There's no movement yet."
"Oh?" Tong Fei scratched his head when he heard this, frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "Yuan Shang is calm, so let's talk about it while exploring the situation." ”
***************************
Yecheng, Yuan's house.
After several days of investigation, Captain Yecheng finally dared to report the assassination to Yuan Shangyu.
"Lord, according to the investigation and arrest of his subordinates for many days, although the culprit has not yet been caught, the case has already been revealed, the knives used by those assassins are all engraved with Cao character marks, but the strength on the body belongs to Xichuan Shu silk, and the poison that those assassins with residual breath took before committing suicide are all produced in the south of the Han River, so the subordinates can preliminarily conclude that these people were instructed by Liu Bei, but they intended to blame Cao Zhi."
Yuan Shang gently knocked on the table, squinted his eyes and said, "Liu Bei's assassin intends to blame Cao Zhi." ”
Tingwei nodded and said: "Yes, the knife is engraved with the Cao character number, which shows that these people are obviously Cao Zhi's dead soldiers, but the contents on their bodies and the medicines they take are all produced in Sichuan Shu and Jingzhou, and the southwest is currently under Liu Bei's jurisdiction, so his subordinates concluded that this should be Liu Bei's intention to instigate the lord to fight with Cao Zhi, and he sat on it to reap the benefits." ”
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, then waved his hand and said to Na Tingwei: "Go down, continue to investigate, the most important thing is to capture the real murderer who escaped that day!" ”
"No."
After Tingwei left, Yuan Shang immediately found Tian Feng and Fu Zhu and asked for their opinions.
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang immediately asked the two: "According to your opinion, is this really Cao Zhi's doing, or is Liu Bei intending to blame him?" ”
Frustrated and silent, Tian Feng said: "According to what the old man saw, this fact is difficult to say, it is all speculation, according to what Tingwei said, maybe Liu Bei blamed Cao Zhi, but who can't keep it This is not Cao Zhi going the opposite way and going to blame Liu Bei...... Of course, what's more, maybe someone else did it, and the intent to blame the two sides is unknown, and everything is speculation, and there is no way to prove it. There is only one thing that can be certain, that is, someone wants to take advantage of this matter to watch my Yuan clan fight with other princes behind his back and reap the benefits. ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Then what should I do about this matter, what do you mean?" ”
Tian Feng paused when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Fu Zhi.
Fu Yu took a deep breath, stepped out of class, and said, "No matter who did this or what he wanted, the lord just needs to act according to his own plan!" ”
Yuan Shang hurriedly said, "What do you mean? ”
Fu Zhi touched his beard and said: "Now Xianbei, the migration of the Xiongnu is over, the population of my northern land has risen sharply, and it is already far better than the rest of the princes, the next thing to do is to take the initiative to attack and completely establish the hegemony of the lord in the world!" If you want to unify the universe and exterminate Qunlun, the top priority is to destroy Cao, at this time, my Hebei soldiers will be fully prepared, it is a good opportunity to send troops, the lord will carry a large army to the south, destroy Cao Zhi, unify the north, and then look east and west, take it at will, let the young people plan how to plan, it is also in vain, you must not because of some tricks and sway your general policy! ”
Tian Feng also nodded when he heard this, and said: "The prince is very good, let those jumping clowns stumble around, the lord will ignore them for the time being, and take the hegemony, the land of the three states of the Central Plains, once it is taken, the lord is the absolute overlord north of the Yangtze River, and the people are far from being comparable to Sun Liu, not to mention the Son of Heaven who is lying in Luoyang, the trouble of the world is greater than the Central Plains, and the Central Plains must be the hegemony!" ”
When Yuan Shang heard this, his spirit was shocked, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Well said, I also want to go south to destroy Cao for a long time, and now is a good opportunity. ”
Tian Fengha smiled and said: "The old man thinks about it day and night, he has already planned for this matter, our army is going south this time, you might as well divide the troops into two routes, left and right, all the way according to the route of the ancestor when he was alive, force the Yellow River, attack the town of Yanzhou, and send troops from Qingzhou on the second road, go south to take Xuzhou, the land of Xuzhou, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and its taxes are inherited with the military resources of the Cao army in general, if Xuzhou goes down, then the Cao army will be defeated in terms of strategy and resources!" ”
Yuan Shang nodded while hearing this, touched the beard on his chin, and said: "The words of the second duke have won my heart, the land of Xuzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and a partial division is sent to be led by a general, so it must be able to be taken smoothly." ”
Frustrated gave Yuan Shang a strange look, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
Yuan Shang looked up curiously.
"Just got the military report, Cao Zhi has sent additional soldiers and horses to Xuzhou from Zhongzhou, and appointed Guo Jia as the assassin of Xuzhou, taking over the military and political power, this person's ability, presumably the lord is also clear, if there is this person, I am afraid that the idle people will not be able to take Xuzhou."
“…………”
Hearing this, Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but sink down.
Guo Jia personally went to Xuzhou, it seems that this genius prodigal son has premeditated to prevent our army from sending troops to Xuzhou and opening the flank of the Central Plains from the east road.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Shang immediately said: "Guo Jia, this person, who is clever and unpredictable, is the most powerful mastermind under Cao Cao back then...... In addition to him, who else in Xuzhou is guarding? ”
"In addition to Guo Jia, Xuzhou also has many famous generals of the Cao family, such as Li Dian, Le Jin, Zang Ba, Li Tong, etc., in addition, the most worrying should be the general Zhang Liao. ”
"The lineup is luxurious." Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "In this case, the matter of attacking the right wing of Xuzhou will be left to me personally." (To be continued......)
