At the same time, in the secret room of Zhongshan Mansion in Anxi County, He Jin convened everyone to discuss the matter.

He Jin sat in the north, sat on the side, Yuan Shao, and Liu Jing, the king of the fake Zhongshan Festival, were listed left and right according to their priorities, and these three people were He Jin's henchmen. Sun Jing, Huang Gai, and Huang Chao waited outside the secret room, and because they were Sun Jian's subordinates, they were not included in his small circle by He Jin.

Yuan Shao felt quite uncomfortable sitting in his seat. As soon as he left Liu Bei, he was called here by He Jin. I have always remembered the matter of Princess Wannian in my heart, so I am uncertain. He Jin thought that the other party had killed Zhu Zhi and felt bad to explain to himself. For the Yuan family, He Jin can't do it yet, and he must be disturbed, and one-third of the officials in the world are from the Yuan family. He now desperately needs the support of the Yuan family, which makes He Jin have to temporarily put aside Zhu Zhi's matter, and instead scold Zhu Zhi angrily to give Yuan Shao relief.

"You don't have to worry about it. Zhu Zhi's kid Ben Shuai has long wanted to clean him up. Now you have done it for Ben Shuai, and you have saved Ben Shuai from his troubles. The award, the award. ”

He Jin laughed as he spoke. He Jin, who has no culture, speaks completely undeserved, ridiculous, generous, and vulgar.

Yuan Shao retracted his thoughts, if he didn't restrain himself, even if he could hide it, he would never deceive people. He stood up and knelt down and said: "If you act recklessly and make a big mistake, the general not only does not punish him, but comforts him, fears his humble duties, and is very kind and virtuous, and he will remember it in his heart." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way, just get up. Gonghe (frustrated words), you said that there is something important to discuss, and now you can say it. He Jin commanded.

"Back to my lord. Now that the head of the Ten Standing Servants has been captured, the Assassin League has been destroyed, and only a remnant remains in the basement of King Xiao's Mansion. Now the entire Han River is owned by the lord. I have already thought about the plan of action for the next few years, and I want to tell the general to know. ”

"Eh, you do things, Ben Shuai rest assured. You don't have to report it. He Jin said and instructed: "Today is here at the beginning, and the king of Jiejie is also here, you tell the two of them to listen." At the beginning, if there are any different opinions, where is wrong, criticize as soon as possible, and don't hide it. ”

He Jin glanced at him, got up and said, "Today is divided into thirteen states, with a total of 2.38 million soldiers and horses. The lord is in charge of 1,900,000 in his hands, and the remaining 480,000 are in two places. Liu Yan of Yizhou was in charge of 200,000 infantry troops, and Gongsun Zan of Youjun was in charge of 100,000 cavalry and 180,000 infantry troops. Although the two of them obeyed the orders of the court on the surface, they went their own way and did not respect the orders of the lord. Of course, without the two of them, there would be no risk for the lord to ascend the throne. But for the sake of insurance, there is a plan to get Gongsun Zan and Liu Yan to hand over the talisman and surrender sincerely. ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard the word "ascending the throne", and the problem he had been worried about finally appeared. It's obvious that He Jin and Frustration are testing themselves, what should they do?

Seeing Yuan Shao's strange face, he was a little clear in his heart, and said: "Most of the grassroots officials in Yizhou and Youzhou are from Yuanmen, and several generals with troops are protégés of Lord Situ Yuan Kui. As long as Lord Yuan Kui writes a few words, I believe that most of the military and political power in Yizhou and Youzhou will be attributed to the lord. At that time, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yan saw that the general trend had gone, and it was difficult for everyone to return, so in order to end well, they would definitely present the talisman with both hands. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Liu Jing, the king of the fake Zhongshan Festival, praised loudly. "I would like to congratulate the public and the general for another meritorious service, no, I congratulate the emperor for thousands of years, and his achievements cover the world." Immediately kneel down and prostrate without stopping.

"Hahaha...... Well said, well said. King Jie is really a good eloquent. He Jin was overjoyed. Only Yuan Shao's face was like ashes, and he was silent.

"Originally, what did you think of this plan?" He Jin asked.

Yuan Shao secretly said that this kind of big thing can't be the same as Liu Jing, otherwise it will definitely arouse He Jin's suspicion. Immediately got up and left the table and knelt: "Humility will die." ”

"Why, you don't want to help Ben Shuai achieve great things?" He Jin drank with a gloomy face.

"The humble will not dare. On the contrary, the humble general and the uncle have long had this intention. Tonight, I can get the general's heart's heart, and the humble general is very excited. The humble general is willing to follow the general around and listen to the dispatch. Yuan Shao said with great sincerity. He Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the table to help the other party up. "The original meaning really makes Ben Shuai happy."

Yuan Shao, who was frustrated, agreed too quickly, and there must be something wrong with it. When Yuan Shao and Liu Jing left, he said to He Jin: "The lord believes in Yuan's original words? ”

He looked sincere, and of course Ben Shuai believed it. He spoke in a sonorous tone, if he lied, he would be speechless, how could he be so happy. He Jin was still intoxicated by the emperor's dream.

"Yuan Shao is known for his excellent eloquence, and he says that he can't settle anything."

"Huh. Ben Shuai knows that you are cautious, but with the strength of the Yuan family, if he is against Ben Shuai, there is no need to take refuge at all. You're thinking too much. ”

"My lord." Frustrated and persuaded again.

"Say no more. Ben Shuai wants to hear your opinion on Liu Bei's search for the Holy Decree of the Prince. He Jin's face changed slightly, which made him helpless, but he couldn't refute it. I had no choice but to pack up my feelings, and immediately replied: "We and the Ten Standing Servants have been looking for the Holy Decree of the Founding Prince for so long and have not found it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it within three days." ”

He Jin suddenly figured it out a little and said, "It's okay if you can't find it, it doesn't matter if you have a holy decree anyway." There is strength, what are you afraid of! Liu Bei knew too much, so he just found this excuse to get rid of it. ”

"The Lord is wise. But what if he finds the Divine Decree? ”

"Kill too. Just find a reason. Don't you literati have a saying, 'If you want to add sin, there is no excuse'? He Jin said, and said: "Ben Shuai has never figured it out, there are so many talented and martial artists among the guests, you don't choose, but choose this Liu Bei." I haven't been willing to say why, and this handsome is up to you. Now that the big thing is done, let's talk about it. ”

"Honor. At the beginning, the holy decree was stolen by Liu Zhi, the king of the Zhongshan Festival, and Liu Bei was a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. The general ordered him to investigate, and the ten permanent servants must have been very nervous. In addition, Liu Bei is a gentleman and serves the country wholeheartedly. Last year, in order to help the court rebellion, he actually led a thousand cavalry to run hundreds of miles to raid the million positions of the Yellow Turban, which shows his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the prestige of the general, Liu Bei will inevitably go to the Holy Decree with all his heart. Coupled with the few rounds in the lower cloth after he came out of the valley, he was already extremely loyal to the lord. It's just that I didn't calculate it in the next place, Jian Shuo actually left the palace, and was actually caught by Liu Bei. Let things go smoothly to the point where they are today. These are all auspicious signs for the great achievements of the Lord. ”

"I see. Ben Shuai said, why did you just like that hairy boy. ”

"As long as Jian Shuo is executed, the lord will have no opponent in the court. But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let Liu Bei go to the Holy Decree first. In the morning, he had already communicated with Liu Bei, and the lord gave him enough time. The lord has been waiting for more than ten years, are you still in a hurry for these few days? In the next private decision, please the Lord to punish. Frustrated, he couldn't help it.

"You're doing the right thing. To do great things, you must have this cautious mentality. That's right, Ben Shuai has survived for more than ten years, so he naturally doesn't care about waiting a few more days. Then let Jian Shuo keep the dog's life first, and then settle it with Liu Bei after getting the holy decree. ”

He Jin smiled proudly.

……

Yuan Shao left Zhongshan Mansion and hurried to the temporary military camp in Nancheng. He had to immediately send a fast horse to report to his uncle Yuan Kui and his cousin Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, He Jin was really going to rebel, and he had to prepare in advance.

A moment later, the two horsemen flew out of the South City Gate, carrying Yuan Shao's secret letter, and rushed to Luoyang and Nanyang respectively. As soon as the two horses galloped for several miles, the handsome horse suddenly neighed, and the brakes no longer moved forward. The two knights were puzzled, there was someone in front of them.

A masked man with a sword jumped from a nearby tree with a strange shape. "Hand over the letter and cut off your arm."

"Don't be ashamed!" The two knights shouted in unison, pulled out their matching knives, and slashed through the night.

"Hand over the letters, and cut off one arm and one leg." The masked man said indifferently.

"Less!" The two knights rode forward and slashed with their swords.

The blade was about to slash into the face, but the masked man still didn't dodge. For him, killing such a person with a low level of martial arts is an insult to himself.

Those two knights are Yuan Shao's selected generals, and their martial arts are no less than five and three ranks.

In the dark night, the air suddenly became cold, a peerless sword was unsheathed, and two sabers were cut off, and the two knights were terrified. The masked man leaped to his feet in an instant, and the two knights fell from their horses. The chest of the iron armor chest guard has a bloody sword flower.

"Humph!"

The masked man pulled out the letters from the two corpses and mounted his horse and galloped to the Assassin League camp.

Coming to the hut, the masked man knocked on the door. Cai Wenji answered the door and the masked man handed over two letters and turned to leave. Cai Wenji forwarded the letter to Princess Wannian who was sitting at the table. The other party opened his eyes, and his pretty face couldn't help but smile.

"Yuan Shao is not stupid." Cai Wenji smiled after receiving the letter. The letter said that Yuan Kui wanted to join Liu Yangong and Sun Zan to fight against He Jin. Is this set possible? ”

"Absolutely. The protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, and this power is still there. Princess Wannian said, but she was thinking about why there was no news of Liu Bei. Could it be that he was killed by He Jin?

"Then we'll have to be careful."

"It's a wake-up call. If Yuan Kui uses this trick against us in the future, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. Princess Wannian said lightly, not like she was answering a question, as if she was talking to herself.

"What is the Lord going to do?" Cai Wenji asked.

"You ask me? Don't you all have an idea? ”

Cai Wenji smiled arrogantly: "You treat me as you, I know a lot about articles and paintings, how can I understand these political things." But there is a way in my heart. Tell Liu Yan and Gongsun Zan that Yuan Kui wants to take their lives. At that time, they will naturally attack those protégés of the Yuan family first. Do you think it's okay? ”

"I knew you would think so. Who do you want to tell them both? Will they believe it? ”

"This?" Cai Wenji was stunned. When it comes to article painting, she is not afraid of exams. When it comes to politics, it's a bit overwhelming.

"Send someone to tell Qijian and Liu Yu. The two of them have a good relationship with those two people. Naturally, they believe what they say. ”

"Well, how good it would be if you were a man." Cai Wenji sighed and walked out of the house.
