The male lord conquers the city, and the bandits attack the city and plunders the land, and it is often only this step that determines the upper limit of a master.

For example, Li Zicheng, Huang Chao, etc., are at most big bandits, and they are not masters who can dominate the world.

In the sparsely populated Eastern Han Dynasty, a city was not only used to defend against foreign enemies, but also used as a source of intelligence and a supplement for troops in the era of war.

This is equivalent to modern games to eliminate the fog of war, you can know what the news is around this city and on the ground, and every citizen is your eyes and ears.

can make the land of other counties, which is extremely unfamiliar, have a comprehensive cognition, which is why Sun Ming pays so much attention to people's livelihood.

After spending a few days dealing with internal affairs, after learning that Yuan Shu had transferred troops to Guangchuan, he asked He Cha to continue, and he returned to the military camp tent to check the military situation.

He was accustomed to simulating the situation of the enemy and the enemy in a simple sand table every time he went to a place, one in the house and the other in the big tent.

He stared at the sand table and muttered to himself, "That Yuan Shu only sent 5,000 people to guard Guangchuan, and the guard general is his brother Yuan Yin, as far as I know, Yuan Yin is also a mediocre talent." ”

"Is there some conspiracy, I swaggered in with tens of thousands of people, it is impossible for him not to know."

"Most of his Yuan Shu's troops are still in the Anping Wuyi area, so confident? It shouldn't be. ”

Sun Ming was stunned for Yuan Shu's transfer of troops, and then he found Sima Tong to explain the situation, and the two smart people fell into silence.

After listening to Sun Ming's analysis, Sima Tong also frowned and pondered, "Lord, do you think that he Yuan Shu will not have the troops to defend us?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was denied by himself, "No, he Yuan Shu holds the land of the four counties, which is about the same territory as ours, but Jizhou is much more prosperous than our Youzhou, and the three Youzhou can't reach him one Jizhou." ”

"Could it be that there is a master under Yuan Shu's account who is giving us the guidance of the Ecstasy Array? But what's the point of luring our army to attack Guangchuan? ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't get a result, and then Sima Tong volunteered, "Since I don't know his true situation, I won't find out if I go." ”

Hearing this, Sun Ming decisively refused, "No, it's too dangerous, Yada, you can't go." ”

Sima Tong smiled profusely and said, "Lord, you once said that 'the layout that loses your grasp is utopia and blind movement', and now everyone still calls Hanchen, and my Sima family and his Yuan family have also intersected." ”

"He Yuan Shu doesn't dare to touch me, please rest assured, Tong will definitely return safely and bring back information."

Sun Ming was not an indecisive person, "Then bother Yada, you have a trip, I will let Li Meng protect you." ”

Just two days after Sima Tong and the others left, Yuan Shao's envoy came to the outside of the barracks, because Sun Ming was the master, Guo Tu was not qualified to let him go out to greet him, and sat on the big seat and waited for him to enter the tent.

As soon as Guo Tu entered the tent, he saw Sun Ming, who was on the throne, and bowed with a smile on his face, "General Yuan's subordinate county Cheng Guo Tu visited General Sun, General Yuan couldn't leave, and sent a certain person to condole." ”

Sun Ming looked at the lean man in front of him, this Guo Tu is most famous for being greedy for money and stingy, although he has some talent, his character is not good.

【Guo Tu】

[Brawn: 45 (Normal)]

[Intelligence: 85 (1 in 100)]

[Command: 41 (Normal)]

[Politics: 74 (one in a hundred)]

[Opinion: 20 (Normal)]

Sun Ming raised his left hand, "Guo Juncheng, please come to the table, the journey is far away and very hard, I don't know what is the important thing to come here today?" ”

After Guo Tu sat down on the couch, he said very seriously: "My general is now in the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, and Yuan Shu is eyeing the two counties of Anping and Julu. ”

"You have taken over the four counties of Bohai, and the promise of my general has been fulfilled, I wonder what General Sun plans to do now?"

Sun Ming sighed deeply and pretended to be annoyed, "There are a lot of robbers and bandits in this Bohai Sea, and I just dealt with a shocking case here, and I really have no time to separate." ”

"And Yuan Shu has already mobilized his troops to garrison Guangchuan, beware of me, I won't be able to move for a while, and it will take time to prepare."

"After you go back, tell your general for me, saying that I, Sun Ming, are the most affectionate, and I will definitely not forget the kindness of my first brother, and I will definitely help him pacify Jizhou and conspire with the great cause."

Hearing this, although Guo Tu was a little displeased, he didn't seem to have anything to refute, so he could only respond casually, after all, the two of them are now allies, and you, as an envoy, can't say anything too ugly.

"Of course, my general treats Thorn Shi as a brother of the opposite sex, and when he came, he told him to say hello to you on his behalf."

After a quarter of an hour, Guo Tu got up to retire, but Sun Ming reluctantly said, "Since Guo Juncheng is here, let's go back tomorrow, let me entertain you tonight, and I will let the sergeant go up the mountain and bring a few wild meats down." ”

Guo Tu didn't have much interest in food, so he politely refused, "Thank you for the kindness of the assassin, but my general is still waiting for me to return, so I won't bother." ”

Sun Ming's heart was clear, and he pretended to regret and said, "Then there is no way, so let's ask the entourage to pack you a unique food snack from Youzhou for you to eat on the road." ”

Guo Tu just wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no reason to refuse, and then replied, "Then thank you for the kindness of the assassin, Guo will definitely report the situation truthfully when he goes back." ”

After that, Guo Tu retreated, because they were in a hurry to go back, and the tired horse they rode over changed with Sun Ming's side to be in good condition.

Guo Tu's dozen people each had two horses to ride in turn, and before leaving, Sun Ming's account governor handed Guo Tu a package that had been packed.

He also said with a smile, "My family's assassin history said, let Juncheng taste this dish well, as long as you and I have always been good together, then next time I have the opportunity to invite Guo Juncheng to eat a rich meal." ”

After Guo Tuxie, he took the package from the governor, and as soon as he passed his hand, he found an abnormality, and the thing in his hand was a heavy hard object.

As a person who loves money, how could he not know what this package contained, he quietly stuffed the package into his arms, and his heart was already full of joy.

He got up and said to the governor, "Please rest assured, Guo will definitely convey the intention of the assassin to General Yuan and leave." ”

After Guo Tu left, Sima Tong also went to Wuyi's side, and the situation of the two of them was similar, they both came to spy on intelligence.

After handing over the letter outside the city, Sima Tong and his entourage of more than a dozen people waited for Yuan Shu to send someone to greet them.

And Yuan Shu received the letter here, he was also a little flustered, just a few days ago he decided to ignore Sun Ming, but he didn't expect him to send someone over.

Now faced with two choices, see or not, Yuan Shu felt that he didn't even see one of them after thinking for a while, and he seemed to be too stingy.
