Chapter 51: Heshen's Secret Letter
So far, Yuan Yao has completely defeated the Zhou clan's forces in Jiangdong, not only basically taking Danyang County into his hands, but also completely gaining a firm foothold in Yangzhou.
Outside the Moling City, Yuan Yao and Qi Jiguang escorted tens of thousands of Shanyue people to camp on the spot, and there were more than 30,000 soldiers and prisoners, and the continuous camp tents were like mushroom clouds, which was quite spectacular.
In the main account, many generals gathered together.
Yuan Yao, who was sitting at the top, glanced at it, and there were actually many unfamiliar faces among the generals present, and these people invariably looked at Yuan Yao, most of them with a taste of scrutiny in their eyes.
"It's been a long time, but there are a lot of new faces among us, who can introduce me to one or two?" Yuan Yao glanced at everyone with a smile, revealing an interested look.
"Lord, these two are subordinate brothers, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai." Qi Jiguang was the first to stand up, holding two heroic men in his hands.
"Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, meet the lord!" Because of Qi Jiguang, Yuan Yao, who met for the first time, bowed down very formally.
Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai!
These are two fierce men again, and they glanced at Qi Jiguang incredulously, Yuan Yao walked down in person, and helped the two of them up excitedly in his heart.
"Since the two of you are Qi Jiguang's sworn brothers, then I will simply be an adult, and the two of you will serve under Yuan Jing in the future!" Yuan Yao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the two tigers would be in his pocket.
"Thank you, Lord!" The two of them saw that Yuan Yao did not have the recklessness of the children of the family, but because of the dedication of the two of them, they came to help them in person, and at the same time they were flattered, they couldn't help laughing heartily.
"This is amazing, Liu Ye is also a virtuous person in Jiujiang County, plotting Zheng Bao, and the plan to surprise attack Danyang County is all from Liu Ye's hands!" After Qi Jiguang introduced the two brothers-in-law, he recommended Liu Ye to Yuan Yao.
"Liu Ye has seen Childe." Liu Ye has been carefully observing Yuan Yao since he walked into the big tent, and he is quite curious about this young man with mixed reviews.
"Yuan Yao has seen Mr." Seeing that although the other party was angry, his every move was neither humble nor arrogant, even if Yuan Yao had never heard of this person's name, he couldn't help but feel a sense of importance in his heart.
"Childe is polite, General Qi is polite, I can't afford to be such a big gift to Childe!" Liu Ye saw that Yuan Yao was so polite and virtuous, and hurriedly responded modestly.
The humility of the two made the corners of Liu Ji's mouth slightly upturned as he was observing, and kept looking at Liu Ye, who was not far from him.
Liu Ye also noticed Liu Ji's gaze, not to mention that he had already heard of the number one strategist beside Yuan Yao, but Liu Ji's examination made Liu Ye invisibly have the illusion that he was completely seen through, which made Liu Ye, who had always been proud of his intelligence, break out in a cold sweat.
His intuition told him that the person beside Yuan Yao was definitely a demon.
Liu Ye didn't know that Liu Ji also attached great importance to him after hearing about his series of plans to outwit Zheng Bao's head and sneak attack Danyang County.
Liu Ji looked at him, how could it not be a kind of cold and wise gaze that only has when facing a master.
"Sir, let's stay with Yuan Jing for the time being." Yuan Yao thought about it and said to Liu Ye.
Qi Jiguang is absolutely his own person, Yuan Yao is naturally a hundred at ease with him, and puts these Wenchen generals here in Qi Jiguang, just let him manage them in a unified manner.
"It's all up to Childe's orders." Liu Ye clenched his fists indifferently and did not have any expression.
"Haha, it seems that it is the right time to belong!" A familiar laugh came, and Wei Zhongxian walked in briskly from outside the tent and bowed to Yuan Yao.
"Wei Zhongxian has seen the lord!" After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he got up and came to Yuan Yao's side, and placed a scroll of silk wrapped in silk in front of Yuan Yao.
"What is this?" Yuan Yao was also a little surprised to see such a beautiful way of wrapping.
"Lord, this is an urgent secret letter from He Shen from Chang'an, saying that he wants the lord to see it in person." Wei Zhongxian leaned against Yuan Yao's ear and whispered softly.
"Oh?" Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was so solemn, and he had made a special trip from Jiujiang County, Yuan Yao thought about it and glanced at Wei Zhongxian, before gently taking out the book and looking at it carefully.
"The lord is enlightened, and Shen worships!"
"After the subordinates found out that in the past two days, Wang Yun introduced a woman named Diao Chan to Lu Bu in the house, and then gave her to Dong Zhuo, which caused Lu Bu's dissatisfaction."
"According to what the lord said that day, his subordinates immediately noticed the conspiracy here."
"Although I don't know why Dong Zhuo will be such a simple beauty plan, but his subordinates are afraid that there will be changes in Guanzhong, and they are willing to ask the lord to lead a small amount of light horses to rush to Guanzhong!"
"The subordinates prepared a shocking gift for the lord in Guanzhong, and only the lord's left hand can hold it!"
"This matter is urgent, I hope the lord will make a decision as soon as possible!"
The content of He Shen's secret letter was not much, but Yuan Yao immediately noticed what He Shen meant.
What Yuan Yao didn't expect was that He Shen could see that Wang Yun had a conspiracy from Diao Chan, and immediately came to the conclusion that Guan Zhongzhong had changed.
And Yuan Yao was very interested in the earth-shattering gift mentioned by He Shen at the end, especially the sentence that only the lord's left hand could pick up, which made Yuan Yao have a little guess.
Everyone saw that the expressions on Yuan Yao's face changed several times when they looked at a secret slip, and they all stared at Yuan Yao seriously, and the big tent was so quiet that only the sound of bamboo slips flipping.
"Qi Jiguang stepped forward to listen to the order!" Yuan Yao put down the bamboo slip and shouted solemnly.
"The last general!" Qi Jiguang hurriedly stepped forward and stepped out of the ranks.
"I now appoint Qi Jiguang as the Taishou of Danyang County and the Governor of the Water Division, in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou!"
"Liu Ye, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhou Cang, Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao and all the generals are all handed over to you for dispatch, and you have the right to dispatch the Jiangdong generals!"
"I'll hand it over to you in Yangzhou!"
Yuan Yao took off a piece of ancestral jade pendant that he had carried with him for many years and handed it to Qi Jiguang with his own hands.
"Please rest assured, Qi Jiguang will work hard to train his soldiers and horses, and completely level Jiangdong for the lord!" Qi Jiguang knew his relationship with Yuan Yao, and did not have the slightest taboo, and solemnly took the jade pendant.
Among the people, except for Liu Ji and Wei Zhongxian, the others were inexplicably shocked by Yuan Yao's generosity.
Yuan Yao's move is equivalent to putting the foundation of the entire Yangzhou into the hands of Qi Jiguang, and this kind of trust in Qi Jiguang is like a big gamble.
Once Qi Jiguang has a different heart, all Yuan Yao's previous efforts will be in vain.
However, will Qi Jiguang betray?
Yuan Yao believes not only in the system, but also in the three words Qi Jiguang.
"Xu Chu, you bring five hundred guards to ride with me, and Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Liu Ji, the three of you will go to Chang'an with me!" After handing over the soldiers and horses to Qi Jiguang, Yuan Yao gave the order again.
"I'll do as I was told!" When several people saw that Yuan Yao wanted to bring them with them, they all responded, and even Tai Shici did not stand up against it.
"When are we leaving, my lord?" Before Xu Chu walked out of the tent, he turned around and asked.
"Now!"
