Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522

Watching Yuan Shu and others push the door away, Wang Zheng closed his eyes and calmed down a bit, thinking that such mystifying things are really not what he is good at, and he should avoid it in the future.

But no matter what, although his plan was not thorough and his acting was very hard, he managed to get Yuan Shu, Yang Hong and others perfunctory through.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The key to not leaking anything today was actually Wu Pu who was in charge of pulse diagnosis. With a thought, he asked Qiao Wan to call Wang Xiong over, mentioning the other party's secret cooperation just now, and immediately asked: "Who is that?" Wu Pu is the way you have gone through in advance?"

"Report to General." Wang Xiong said, "I've been mainly on the side of the gentry and Confucian scholars during this time, and I have no acquaintance with this medical officer."

Wang Zheng was startled when he heard the words, it wasn't Wang Xiong's side, and naturally it couldn't be Zhou Tai who was in charge of Jiangdong's local forces, so why did Wu Pu risk such a big relationship to lie for him in front of Yuan Shu?

Wang Xiong also had the same doubts. After thinking for a while, he said with some uncertainty: "General, could it be that Lu Ji revealed something?"

Lu Ji?
Wang Zheng stroked his chin and thought about it. It is indeed possible that Lu Ji is not only the captain of the city guard, but also a direct descendant of the Lu family in Wu County. He is also a famous young talent in Jiangdong. It is natural for a person with a healthy body to make friends in Shouchun City. It is reasonable for Wu Pu to know him and know something in advance.

Wang Zheng expected it well. He would naturally inform Lu Ji and the others who had secretly taken refuge in him about his feigning illness. Compared with him, Lu Ji was much more thoughtful, and even thought of some details that Wang Zheng hadn't thought of. How should hostile people like Yang Hong come to test him out?

The key to the test is naturally the authenticity of the disease, and Wang Zheng's status is too high, even if it is out of the test, neither Yuan Shu nor Yang Hong will choose to find a general doctor, so in fact not only Wu Pu, but other people in the city Several famous doctors were actually taken care of by Lu Ji beforehand.

Especially Wu Pu, who was originally from Guangling County, Xuzhou. In his early years, he volunteered to study medicine because his parents were injured by the epidemic. As for Yangzhou, compared to Yuan Shu, Wu Pu was actually more inclined towards Wang Zheng who had the title of Xuzhou Shepherd.

On the other hand, in the process of studying medicine with Hua Tuo, Wu Pu also traveled all over the world, as far as the Central Plains and the Northland. Far above ordinary doctors, he can naturally see Yuan Shu's internal and external difficulties.

If it's just internal and external troubles, the key is that Yuan Shu's control over the troops under his command is not strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Army itself is really unbearable. In Wu Pu's view, this is actually the most dangerous situation.

The army is not strong but occupies such huge territory as Runan and Yangzhou. Isn't that like a three-year-old child carrying money through the downtown area?

In view of this, Wu Pu had seen Yuan Shu's inevitable defeat in advance. Since Jiangdong would change hands sooner or later, it would be better to hand it over to Wang Zheng, the Xuzhou shepherd.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Ji told him that he hoped that he could cooperate, Wu Pu immediately agreed without any hesitation. For him, the risk of angering Yuan Shu might not be worth the risk compared to the benefits of getting married in advance. carry.

Of course, there are smart people who understand current affairs like Wu Pu, and there are also stupid people who don't understand current affairs. The former Lu Ji will naturally want to say something nice and make a lot of money. It's not a difficult task. At this time, the status of doctors is not as high as that of later generations, and famous doctors won't get more respect for face. Their social status and influence are really average, not to mention Wang Zheng's side is about to riot. Lu Ji didn't have any scruples, he sharpened his knife a little bit, threatened himself and even his family and relatives, and naturally cleaned up properly.

At this time, Qiao Wan on the side suddenly interjected: "No matter who persuaded Wu Pu, as the saying goes, you can know the autumn by looking at a leaf, and people who are not far away do so. Wang Zhoumu, Wu Pu and other famous doctors even don't care about you. Without knowing it, he leaned over, it can be seen that Shouchun's heart is in the right place now."

Wang Xiong greatly agreed, and nodded again and again: "What Miss Qiao said is very true. General, everyone in the famous family in Shouchun looks up to the general, and the people in Jiangdong are even more anxious for the general, just like a child. At this point, the grand plan in the general's heart will surely be successfully implemented."

Wang Zheng looked very calm when he heard the words, with an intriguing expression on his face, he muttered to himself: "What people want, what people want is available, hey, it's too fast to vote, isn't it?"

Qiao Wan and Wang Xiong on the side were stunned when they heard the words. Even if they were not ecstatic about the progress beyond expectations, they should be complacent, right?
After all, this kind of hopeful investment does not mean that the momentum that Wang Zheng and the Tianjun have shown in the past few years is flourishing, and has been favored by more and more people with insight?

How come under such circumstances, not only did Wang Zheng not look happy, but rather solemn and dignified?

No way, from the very beginning of the uprising, Wang Zheng always regarded the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty as the real enemy in the depths of his heart, and the uprising of respecting literature and Confucianism was just a gesture needed at a certain stage.

Because of this, the plan progressed so smoothly and so easily, which made him startled instead of happy, and gave birth to a faint awe.

Because if the development continues at this pace, Yangzhou will indeed change hands soon, and compared to the previous capture of Xuzhou, the process of capturing Yangzhou this time is obviously much faster, and the price paid is much smaller, and why is this?

Because the Jiangdong gentry and local generals betrayed Yuan Shu too thoroughly!

But how did Yuan Shu treat them?It can't be said to be very good, but it can't be said to be too bad. At least compared with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's continuous suppression of the gentry in Central Shu after they won Yizhou, Yuan Shu is actually considered polite.

The result of laissez-faire was backstabbing, wouldn't this make Wang Zheng secretly afraid.
They played a key role today, how should I reward them in the future?

They betrayed Yuan Shu so easily, what will they do to me in the future?
Before the dawn of victory came, a trace of gloom had already passed through Wang Zheng's mind, which made his eyes suddenly become extremely cold!
Following Wang Zheng saying that he was sick and staying behind closed doors, Shouchun City seemed to have returned to calm and calm again.

But in fact, the dark tide is getting more and more turbulent.

Except that the actions of Wang Xiong, Lu Ji and others have changed from open to covert. On the other hand, although Yang Hong did not catch any flaws after the visit, the suspicion in his heart became more and more serious. Said, while constantly admonishing Yuan Shu for three days.

Huang Tian paid off, his unremitting efforts paid off, and he didn't know whether he finally overwhelmed Mrs. Feng's pillow wind, or Yuan Shu finally couldn't stand his chattering, no matter what, Yang Hong finally got Yuan Shu's acquiescence, and won In order to mobilize part of the power of the Southern Army.

Compared with Wang Zheng's Xuzhou Army, the Yangzhou Army under Yuan Shu's command is obviously more regular in terms of the distribution of military positions. In a capital like Shouchun, the defenders in the city are also divided into two systems, namely the Southern Army and the Northern Army.

The Southern Army belongs to the pro-army troops directly under Yuan Shu. It is responsible for the guards of the Chu Palace and Yuan Shu's ceremonial guards. The Northern Army is responsible for the defense and security of the inner and outer cities of Shouchun. Lu Ji is the inner and outer cities of the Northern Army system. The captain of Xicheng.

Yang Hongnai is a civil servant with few cronies, so before he could only control the daily activities of several people including Wang Zheng and Wang Xiong with great ambitions. Now that he has a certain amount of military power, it means that he has sufficient manpower to deploy. During the day, the access of everyone in the embassy was under his control.

The level of detail gathered by him is staggering.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even Wang Xiong, Zhou Tai, etc. may have forgotten some details, or did not care about them at all, and all of them were described in the letter submitted to Yang Hong. One's reappearance.

"Where did Wang Xiong go yesterday afternoon?"

"A mansion in the east city belongs to the Shen family in the city. Several officials were invited to stay there for a long time in the name of a party. Because villains can't get in, I don't know what they are talking about."

"Can you recognize the official positions and identities involved?"

"I have recorded the few who entered later than Wang Xiong. No one has entered the mansion before, but I don't know."

"Where did Zhou Tai go the afternoon before yesterday?"

"Zhou Tai and Captain Xu Mao somehow became friends. The steward of the other party came to the embassy to pick him up in person. He seemed to be claiming that he had bought a new female music group and invited him to listen. Zhou Tai didn't return until dawn the next day. embassy."

"How is Wang Yukou's condition recently?"

"The spies in the embassy reported that Wu Pu went to the embassy again recently, and seemed to review his condition. When he came out, the spies pretended to be concerned and went up to talk. Wu Pu said that the typhoid symptoms of this son have improved, and he will recover soon." Spy He replied: "The residue of Wang Zheng's daily medication has also been carefully inspected by the villain, and there is nothing unusual."

"What about today?" Yang Hong asked again.

"That's why the villain came to see the master." Speaking of this, the spy's expression became serious: "A strange thing happened outside the embassy today."

"Oh?" Yang Hong narrowed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What's so strange?"

"There was an uncle in the Northern Army named Hou Na. At three o'clock this morning, he sneaked into a warehouse outside the museum by himself. At first, the villain just thought his behavior was sneaky, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Not long after, two people also came out of the hall."

"Three quarters of Yin time, when night and day alternate"

Yang Hong was not in a hurry to ask, but glanced at the spy, smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, it's time for you to take a nap, right? Hou Na deliberately chose to go near the embassy at this time. It seems It was done on purpose!"

Yinshi, also known as Pingdan, is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning of modern time. Anyone who has stayed up all night knows that this is probably the time when the real drowsiness strikes, and the ancients in China have long known about this physiological characteristic of human beings. There are findings and conclusions, especially the most used in the military, such as launching a surprise attack, and night attacks are generally made at the third watch, set off at the fourth watch, and launch a general attack at the fifth watch.

And the fifth correction is Yin time.

"See you at the sacrifice!"

The spy said: "And the two people who came out of the embassy, ​​the villain can see clearly that they are Wang Zheng's personal guards!"

"It's strange for these people to come out at this time. What's even more strange is that these two people not only didn't go through the main entrance, but also turned out from the wall."

Yang Hong frowned when he heard this: "Did it come out?"

"Exactly." The spy said: "After they got out, they went to the warehouse. Not long after, Hou Na came out first, and then the two Xuzhou soldiers went back to the embassy over the wall."

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the villain believes that the purpose of the two going to the warehouse is to meet Hou Na. As for what the two sides said, I don't know."

"En." Yang Hong agreed with his judgment, nodded, and said, "Continue talking."

"The villain personally led someone to hang Hou Na, and this person went back home directly, but the next day after he finished his duty, he went outside the palace again. The villain asked the brother in the palace, but the other party said nothing. It was a meeting with a court lady, but there was nothing unusual afterwards, the villain felt that this was a bit strange, so he came to report to Jijiu."

"Your judgment is good." Yang Hong muttered to himself, "This Hou Na is just a Dubo. According to his rank, he has neither much real power nor access to any confidential information. Wang Yukou and his subordinates are pregnant If you have different intentions, you will not think about buying such a small official, and it is precisely because of this that the abnormality of this matter seems strange."

After thinking for a while, his heart moved, Wang Zheng and Hou Na's identities were very different, and the key to the intersection might be the maid, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out who the maid is? "

"Found it." The spy replied, "It's the third lady's personal maid named Shu'er."

"Third Madam?"

Yang Hong was startled when he heard the words, the third lady was Fan Wu's sister, Mrs. Fan who had long fallen out of favor, for this woman whom Yuan Shu once loved very much, Yang Hong actually had a good relationship with her before, although the other party was arrogant and arrogant, but to him In fact, Yan Xiang is still very polite. In contrast, Yang Hong is a little respectful of Mrs. Feng who has a very good reputation.

"She is a woman who has fallen out of favor, how did she get involved with Wang Zheng?"

If this Shu'er was Mrs. Feng's personal maid, Yang Hong would think it normal and reasonable.

After all these days, he has also faintly discovered that the reason why Yuan Shu has been vacillating seems to be that Madam Feng will always appear suddenly from time to time, and occasionally say a few words. It seems that she doesn't say much, and her tendency is not obvious, but Always pull Yuan Shu back to the side of "trusting Wang Zheng" at critical moments.

Yuan Shu didn't find out, but Yang Hong had already guessed in his heart that his lord's favorite woman might have been secretly bribed by Wang Zheng.

But how can Mrs. Fan speak in front of Yuan Shu now?

Yang Hong paced around the room for a few times, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and the more he didn't understand, the more he became suspicious. Under the irritability, he lost his mind and stopped thinking so much.

He said to the spies word by word: "Put this Hou Na under surveillance, and send a special group of people to watch him closely for twelve hours a day!"

The spy bowed to accept the order, and asked again: "Where is Shu'er?"

"Even if you are a servant, you are still a woman in the palace. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will discuss it with the lord."

Yang Hong snorted coldly and said, "Hey, Wang Yukou is sick, Wang Xiong is still free to participate in the party, and that Zhou Tai is so big that he stays up all night, enjoying singing and dancing? It's so blatant to deceive me. Human?"

"Pass me the general order, immediately the captain Xu Mao, and those officials who participated, please come to my house for a sit down!"

"promise!"
