Chapter 178: Reactions from all sides
On the second day, just after dawn, Sun Cezhong and Fang Yubu had already eaten breakfast, left the camp, and rushed to Changsha.
…………
Xuanyuan City, the city lord's mansion.
Xuanyuan Che was eating breakfast with Yang Yun, and Ziyu was waiting on the side.
At this time, one of the person in charge of Tianyan in charge of intelligence in the mansion walked in, and after saluting Xuanyuan Che and Yang Yun, he handed a piece of paper with intelligence information to Ziyu who was walking towards him.
Ziyu turned around and walked towards Xuanyuan Che.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che put down his chopsticks, took the information from Ziyu's hand and looked at it, but Yang Yun didn't care, still eating her breakfast, as the supreme person in charge of Tianyan, it was obvious that she already knew the content of the information.
The content of the information is nothing else, it is the information that Sun Jian was killed and Sun Ce was rescued by Fang Yu, as for the matter of Sun Ce exchanging the jade seal of the country with Yizhou for a million aboriginal troops, it is not on it, after all, only Fang Yu and Sun Ce know about this matter, and among the people present on these two sides, there is no Tianyan existence.
"It seems that this heirloom jade seal is going to fall in Yizhou." After Xuanyuan saw it, he said this, and then looked at the person who sent the information, "What is the movement of Yizhou?" ”
"No news yet."
"It shouldn't be, if you want Sun Ce to hand over the jade seal of the country, it's not enough to save your life, and Yizhou must pay some price, how can there be no movement?"
Saying that, Xuanyuan Che sent this person away, and then looked at Yang Yun, as the supreme person in charge of Tianyan, Yang Yun's intelligence information was obviously more comprehensive.
When Xuanyuan Che asked about the visitor, Yang Yun also put down his chopsticks and connected the Tianyan Tower with a unique contact method to gather intelligence information from all sides.
"Inquiring about the country's army movements and grain and grass transportation, if Sun Ce wants to recover his vitality to avenge his father, he must immediately take control of the power of Changsha, then an army that completely obeys himself and sufficient money and food is the best exchange condition, otherwise the complex family in Changsha alone can drag him to a great loss."
With the direction, Yang Yun's information processing speed has been greatly improved, but after all, it is necessary to extract a large amount of intelligence information, especially the recent frequent wars, frequent mobilization of troops and grain and grass, even with the speed of processing information by Tianyan, it took nearly a quarter of an hour to get useful information.
After getting the information he wanted, Yang Yun looked serious, with shock in his eyes, and told Xuanyuan Che the information: "A Tianyan lurking among the soldiers of Yulin County, Jiaozhou, found an army marching among the mountains and forests in the process of patrolling out of the city, with a number of about one million, and the direction of travel was Changsha.
At the same time, on the way from Yulin County to Changsha, there were more than a dozen cities where people were secretly collecting grain and grass and transporting them out of the city, which was most likely prepared for this army. ”
Hearing the news, Xuanyuan couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and his face was horrified.
I thought that even if my strength was not as good as Yizhou, it would not be much worse, but now I realized how ridiculous my original idea was, Yizhou casually took out a million aboriginal army to exchange it for the jade seal of the country, and there must still be millions of troops in their hands.
For a moment, Xuanyuan Che was a little disheartened, but this feeling came and went quickly, and in an instant, it was swept away, but there was infinite fighting spirit filling his heart.
Fighting with people is endlessly fun, especially the strong.
"Pay close attention to the whereabouts of this army, as well as the attitudes of the various forces in Changsha County, and report it immediately if there is any change."
"Yes, my lord." Yang Yun, who was in a working state, was very serious and serious, and after saluting Xuanyuan Che, he said goodbye and left.
…………
On the same day, Yuan Shao, who left Luoyang and went to Hanoi, also received information about Sun Jian's death in battle and Yizhou's intervention in the rescue of Sun Ce.
After carefully browsing through the information, Yuan Shao's face was uncertain, he looked at the subordinates who sent the information, and said gloomily: "So, haven't you got the jade seal of the country?" ”
"The subordinates were incompetent, Sun Jian had just died at that time, and the subordinates and others were about to take advantage of Sun Jian's men to fight back with hatred to snatch the treasure, but they didn't expect that the Yizhou people and horses directly killed and saved Sun Ce and others, missing the opportunity. The subordinates thought that the Yizhou people and horses should have been ambushed around for a long time, and they waited for Sun Jian to die, so they appeared to seek the treasure from Sun Ce. ”
"Hmph, Yizhou Li Jishan, I have written down this account, and there will always be a time for you to pay it back." Yuan Shao's face flashed hideously.
Then he looked at the person below and said coldly: "This mission failed, what should you be guilty of?" ”
The person below was shocked when he heard the sound, and his face turned pale, but he still replied: "Capital crime." ”
"Hmph, you're a bit responsible. For the sake of serving my Yuan family for many years and always being loyal, I will write down this matter for the time being, and then give you a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”
"Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill, the lord can rest assured, if there is another mistake, there is no need for the lord to do it, and we will also kill ourselves to repay the lord's kindness."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded slightly, his voice softened slightly, and said: "After this incident, the jade seal of the country will definitely fall into the hands of Li Jishan in Yizhou, I want you to immediately spread this news all over the country, especially the royal family, but it should be noted that no one must find out that the source of this news is my Yuan family, do you understand?" ”
"The subordinates understand, please wait with peace of mind, it doesn't take ten days, and the news of Li Jishan's treasure passing on the jade seal of the country will be known to everyone, and the source is Liu Jingzhou."
"Okay, wait and get ready."
After sending this person away, Yuan Shao thought of his brother Yuan Shu's concealment in this matter, and he was angry again, and he looked down on Yuan Shu even more.
…………
Jinghan Shouzhou Pastoral Mansion.
Liu Biao was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Huang Zu, who was dressed in military uniform, stood aside, and there were only two of them here.
Huang Zu helped Liu Biao polish the ink while reporting the details of yesterday's battle.
Regarding Huang Zu's battle report, Liu Biao didn't care about it, still writing his own words.
Seeing this, Huang Zu didn't say anything more, and watched Liu Biao write.
After Liu Biao finished writing a pair of words, Huang Zu hurriedly handed over the seal that he had held in his hand to facilitate Liu Biao's seal.
Liu Biao took it, flipped it over, and saw that it was the idle chapter that he often used, which had already been printed with ink, and nodded, so he turned it over and printed it on his work.
"The word "adult" is really getting better and better, my subordinates are cheeky, please give this word to my lord."
"Oh? You are a martial artist, when did you also have a preference for calligraphy? Well, you can tell me what is good about this official's handwriting, and if it is good, it doesn't hurt to send it to you. Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu curiously, this Huang Zu didn't have such a performance before.
Huang Zu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord for your generous gift." ”
Liu Biao scolded with a smile: "You fool, let's talk about this word first." ”
The word "adult" is just and powerful, magnificent, but also soft, like human flesh and bones, rigid and soft, harmonious, and wonderful. The whole Han can write such a flying white, I'm afraid only Cai is the family. ”
These words are also good, at least after Liu Biao heard it, his smile did not decrease, Huang Zu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not wrong.
At this time, he remembered what his army master said, "When the state pastor is soft, he treats people like a spring breeze and drizzle, but if anyone hurts his power and interests, it will invade like a storm. Liu Jingzhou, Sleeping Tiger also. ”
Only after listening to the words of the master book, Huang Zu deliberately studied Liu Biao's preferences, which is the reason why he has changed so much in just a few days.
At this time, Liu Biao spoke: "What you said is too exaggerated, how can the official's words be compared with Bo Jiao, greatly inferior, greatly inferior." ”
Huang Zu complimented again: "My lord is humble." And Liu Biao didn't say anything more, and laughed at it.
"For the sake of what you said, this painting will be given to you."
"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates will keep it well, so that it will be a family heirloom, so that future generations can look up to your treasure."
As he spoke, he stepped forward impatiently, gently blowing the ink that had not dried, looking impatient.
"You." Liu Biao scolded with a smile.
Only then did he restrain his smile, and Huang Zu also felt the change in Liu Biao, no longer presumptuous, and stood aside.
In the study, it was a little cold and solemn.
After a while, Liu Biao spoke, and his tone was a little cold: "The scouts who inquired in front have sent back the news, and Sun Jian's department, which returned by land, went all the way to Changsha and did not change its direction. ”
"This-" Huang Zu's face changed when he heard this, since he received Liu Biao's order to ambush Sun Jian, Huang Zu also knew the specific reason.
But now that it is discovered that the destination of Sun Jian's army is not Hanshou, but Changsha County, this matter is complicated.
Huang Zu believed in Liu Biao's information, and he knew that there must be Liu Biao's people in Sun Jian's army, and even his subordinates, as for the scouts he did, it was just a cover-up.
If the destination of Sun Jian's army is not Hanshou, then the information about Sun Jianzhi in Jingzhou in Yuan Shao's letter is untrue, and why did Yuan Shao falsify in this regard, is it to kill people with a knife?
But I have never heard that Sun Jian and Yuan Shao had a conflict.
"Yuan Benchu misunderstood me, he killed Sun Jian this time, and the official and the Sun family have completely formed a mortal enemy, and the future of Jingzhou is afraid that it will be difficult to be safe."
Liu Biao sighed, his heart was indeed complicated, he thought that he had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, although they had intersecting interests and using each other, they were all win-win.
And this time, a letter from Yuan Shao put him in such an unstable situation, and from then on, the two were not hostile to each other, but they were definitely strangers to each other.
Yuan Shao also understood this truth, so after making sure that he didn't get the jade seal of the country, he didn't send anyone to contact Liu Biao again, and the two were already strangers.
In fact, if Yuan Shao was to tell the truth, promise great benefits, and force each other with military strength, it is not impossible for Liu Biao to help him intercept Sun Jian and seize the jade seal of the country, and the relationship between the two will not be in such a situation.
But this is only possible, after all, the temptation of the heirloom jade seal is not something that ordinary people can refuse, and they dare not gamble when they are admitted to the hospital, so they can only trick Liu Biao into killing Sun Jian, and secretly snatch the heirloom jade seal.
"Today De Jue is about to leave for Changsha County, you personally lead the army to accompany him, the affairs of Jiangxia are temporarily handed over to his subordinates, be sure to arrive before Sun Ce and others return, win over the local scholars, and avoid the Sun family from taking charge of Changsha again, if everything goes well, after Changsha is stable, the Sun family will be destroyed, and the grass will not be eradicated, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles."
"Don't worry, my lord, after this time, there will be no Sun family in Changsha." Huang Zu's face was excited, for him, this kind of thing is clearly Liu Biao is rewarding, and after the Sun family is destroyed, isn't all the property of the Sun family just his Huang Zu has the final say, even if it is to give some to Cai Mao, and then give Liu Biao an offering, more than half of the rest will be his Huang Zu's.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Sun Ce had exchanged the jade seal of the country for a million troops, and his idea of seizing the Sun family's property on this trip was in vain, and even whether he could return safely became a problem.
With the task, Huang Zu didn't stay long, and soon resigned to Liu Biao, went back to bring his cronies' troops, and rushed to Changsha with Cai Mao.
