Yang, a system town near Wancheng, thousands of villagers seem to be no different from other system strongholds.

However, if you pay close attention, you can still see the difference, the most obvious is the depression of the people in the town, except for those children and teenagers who are still ignorant and do not know what sorrow is, most of the rest of the people have gloomy faces and frowns.

Judging from the clothes and decorations of the people on the street and the sale of only some of the most ordinary daily necessities, this township is not prosperous, otherwise the people would not be mostly dressed simply, and it is difficult to even buy a little clothing and belongings that are slightly related to luxury goods. While most of the villagers were still struggling to make ends meet, business would not be much better, such as the shops in taverns and teahouses. The only tavern in town was full of doors, and the shopkeeper with a sad face sat at the same table with the only regular customer, chatting with each other.

"These days, it's really getting harder and harder!" The shopkeeper sighed for a long time, the confusion in his eyes was clearly visible, and he filled the wine glass for himself and his guests, and then took the glass in front of him and drank it all. He didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of the guests, everyone is an old acquaintance, and this pot of wine is a gift.

The guest is a merchant, running between the nearby towns and villages to sell goods, although the hand is a little more abundant than the ordinary villagers, but the process of business is really hard, and you need to be on guard from time to time to beware of those strong men who fall into the grass, but also walk in the troubled times with their heads, and they know how to look at their faces. But after all, he and the tavern shopkeeper are old friends, and seeing that there are no outsiders in the tavern, plus a few more glasses of wine, he no longer hides his feelings.

"What my brother said is, in recent years, not only is it difficult for you to do business in this tavern, but my business income has also shrunk greatly, if it weren't for the lack of skills, the family is still waiting to make money to support, this street business, I don't want to do it for a long time. A few years ago, when Nanyang made trouble with the Yellow Turbans, everyone lived a somewhat reasonable life, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was extinguished for seven or eight years, and Nanyang did not experience any major wars, but everyone became poorer and poorer, hey......"

The shopkeeper sneered twice, "It's not from the queen general!" This descendant of the Yuan family really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and regarded the family property of the people of Nanyang as his own, and it was extremely neat to scrape the ground. Nanyang has 37 cities and 500,000 households, with a total population of more than 240,000, which is 100,000 households and 30,000 more than another large county, Runan, and is recognized as the largest county in the country...... Don't mention it! ”

The merchant also had a lot of emotion, and it did not prevent the shopkeeper from venting his depression, in fact, most of the people in Nanyang, including the merchant himself, had a grudge against the greedy Yuan Shu.

As soon as Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, the taxes on the people became heavier and heavier year by year, and the private names were cleverly taken by them, and the people of Nanyang were already miserable.

"General Hou dug three feet in Nanyang, accumulated countless money, grain and goods, said that he wanted to form a righteous army to defend the township, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was not for his own selfish desires? The news that the elder brother is guarding the shop is relatively closed, I'm afraid I don't know that Lu Bu has also been cast into the account of the general. ”

The shopkeeper's reaction was completely unexpected by the merchant, he pursed his lips and sighed: "Brother really should be an old brother and don't know that Lu Bu." ”

"Brother has heard of it?"

"I've heard of it. Every one of us in town has heard of it. ”

The shopkeeper sighed. added: "Lu Bu has only been in Nanyang for a few days. The ground is not yet ripe. He has already connived at his soldiers to plunder everywhere. I heard that several villages and towns in the south had been looted in succession two days ago. The soldiers and people of the prefecture and county in the town wanted to stop it. As a result, he was killed by more than a dozen soldiers of Lu Budi. They also openly snatched a number of young women. The general did not intervene to take care of it. From now on. There is another hungry wolf in Nanyang! ”

"Villages and towns to the south?"

The merchants were shocked. The south side was his next few stops. If those villages and towns have just been plundered. Naturally, business in other places has been greatly affected.

He hadn't had time to get a headache about the bad news. Bigger trouble has come to the door.

Suddenly, there was a scream of exclamation in the town, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves and a rough shout, and the peaceful town suddenly boiled. The shopkeeper ran out of the store, stopped a townsman and asked a few questions, and when he came back, his face was pale.

"Here they are, here they are!"

"Who's coming?" The merchant secretly said that it was not good, and asked.

"Lu Bu's soldiers have come to our town to loot!"

Wancheng, the city lord's mansion.

"It's so unbelievable! I just greeted him yesterday, I don't want Lu Fengxian to rob the army today, and killed seven county soldiers, provoking the nearby counties to go up one after another, why did Lu Fengxian take my words to heart? Yuan Shu was angry and ruined.

"Lu Bu broke the situation in Chang'an City and came to vote, but fortunately, the lord took him in regardless of his previous suspicions, so he had a place to stay, and he should have followed the rules and knew how to repay his kindness. This man repeatedly ignored the advice of his lord, and even if his soldiers went out to plunder, most of them hoped to form the hearts of the soldiers, otherwise, it was difficult to predict whether the hundreds of soldiers would still be willing to follow him. ”

The words are Yan Xiang (there is no such person in the romance.)

In the past thirty years, he has been intelligent and erudite, and has been placed by Yuan Shu as Yang in history and has won Yuan Shu's trust.

Hearing Yan Xiang say this, Yuan Shu suddenly understood why Lu Bu was willing to risk the world's condemnation to plunder, and the impoverished Lu Bu seemed to have the only way to retain the hearts of those soldiers who still followed him. Thinking of this, half of the anger in Yuan Shu's heart disappeared, although he was quite dissatisfied with Lu Bu's way of not caring about his face at all, he was not as angry as before.

"In this way, Lu Fengxian's actions are not deliberately disobedient to me, but it is understandable."

Yan Xiang didn't answer directly, hesitated, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Yan Xiang's eyes showed a resolute look, and he said resolutely: "My subordinates think that they can't judge that Lu Bu has no dissent. ”

"Oh?"

"Whatever the reason, Lu Bu set his troops and looted, it was a violation of law and discipline and a violation of the normal order of Nanyang. Since they came to vote, the lord treated him well, if Lu Bu was worried about the separation of the soldiers, he could have divided the lord's reward with everyone, or simply put forward a demand to my Nanyang Mansion, why do you need to do that illegal thing? What's more, the lord just reminded him before and committed another crime, and he despised the lord to some extent. ”

"The subordinates have been watching Na Lu Bu recently, and they are quite arrogant in their words and deeds, thinking that they have not forgotten that he had unlimited scenery in Chang'an, although he was poor, he did not put us in his eyes. The lord might as well think about it, if Lu Bu really took refuge, and the supplies and retinue were all allocated by the lord, why should he care so much about the personal entourage of less than 300 people? What is the purpose of him taking such pains to retain an elite pro-soldier force? ”

Yuan Shu didn't seem to have interpreted this matter from such an angle before, and was shocked when he heard this, "I risked a head-on conflict with the Liangzhou military system, gave him a place to stay, and never treated him lightly, all because of his bravery, is this guy actually opposed?" ”

"It's hard to say whether there is any objection now, but the lord must not forget how Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo died, thinking that Dong Zhuo can clean up the brave and unruly generals of Liangzhou, and hold the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials hostage for many years, he can also be regarded as the number one person, and he is not thin in the end, and he is not ...... Both of them accepted him as their adopted sons, why didn't they love their talents at the beginning? However, with Lu Bu's wolf ambition, after Xun Zhuo took charge of the Han military power again, he has already appreciated the taste of power, and if he wants to make him willingly subordinate to others like before, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult! Yan Xiang said lightly.

Yuan Shu was drenched in cold sweat, he loved Lu Bu's talent, but he cherished his life even more.

The ancients had a saying: How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch? What's more, it is not an ordinary person sleeping next to him, but a dangerous person like Lu Bu, Yuan Shu was shaken, and this descendant of the Yuan family was still a little hesitant, "Is it to use Lu Bu's brave force to take Luoyang down first, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart."

Yan Xiang's next words made Yuan Shu completely dispel this idea.

"In the past few days, there have been many rumors in various parts of Nanyang, and even Wancheng has spread in a boiling manner, can the lord know?"

"What rumors?"

"Many people are saying that Lu Bu wants to repeat his old tricks, and secretly murdered the lord in order to seize Nanyang, and use Nanyang as the foundation for his life and hegemony in the world; Some people also said that the lord planned to capture Lu Bu to curry favor with the Liangzhou military system in exchange for peace in Nanyang and future opportunities for exhibition! ”

"Nonsense!"

Hearing Yan Xiang say that Lu Bu wanted to kill himself and seize Nanyang, Yuan Shu's face was gloomy and silent, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, Yuan Shu finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "The Liangzhou army did secretly send people to ask me for Lu Bu, but I sternly refused, thinking that those Liangzhou people had already been frightened by us, so I didn't believe that they dared to fight Nanyang; Moreover, they held the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials hostage, and indulged in edicts to show the world, who would take those false edicts seriously in the Kanto region, and how could Nanyang's future exhibition opportunities be given by those Liangzhou people who wanted to? Why do I need to capture Lu Bu to end the Liangzhou army? It's clear that someone is divided! ”

"The Lord is angry! The subordinates also thought it was a discord, and the Liangzhou Army hoped to use this to provoke the relationship between the lord and Lu Bu, otherwise how could the two news suddenly come out? ”

Yan Xiang softly comforted.

After all, he is also a wise man in history, and it is not difficult to see through small tricks such as discord, but he mistakenly aimed the finger at the people of Liangzhou, but it was clearly a miscalculation.

Yan Xiang persuaded a few words, then changed his words, and said in a deep voice: "With the ability of the lord, I can see through this at a glance as a divisive plan, but Lu Bu is a martial artist and a capricious person, so he may not be able to see through this matter!" Now that Lu Bu has probably heard those rumors, it is best for the lord to make arrangements as soon as possible, and not to take them lightly. ”

When he said this, Yan Xiang was extremely helpless. The power of this two-way discord is that even if you know that it is a pit, you have to jump into it, and no one knows what kind of reaction the other party will have, and you have to take action in order to protect yourself.

Yuan Shu's eyes burst out a little fiercely.
