Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei asked, "Did Master Yan see the corpse hanging at the gate of the camp?"

"I can see clearly!" Yan Xiang asked with doubts in his eyes, "Dare to ask Mr. Wang, what happened to the corpses and heads hanging at the gate of the camp? Who are these people?"

Yan Xiang had a bad premonition in his heart.

Let Wang Lei make a big fuss, the things inside are definitely not simple.

Wang Lei said: "A man named Yuan Xuedong, under Yuan Shu's order, held Yuan Hong's head to meet me at Qingshanyu. Unfortunately, this Yuan Xuedong is an assassin, who hid the dagger in his head and stabbed him suddenly."

What Yan Xiang was worried about became a reality, his complexion changed drastically, and he said, "My lord, it is absolutely impossible for my lord to be unfavorable to you. This is a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"

Wang Lei said coldly: "My officer was scratched by Yuan Xuedong's dagger, what do you say about it?"

Dian Wei blinked, and said to himself: My lord is too cunning.Obviously he was not stabbed by the dagger, but insisted that he was seriously injured.

After Yan Xiang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly explained: "Master Wang, this is a misunderstanding. After Yuan Hong visited the lord, he was arrested by the lord. The lord cut off Yuan Hong's head on the way to Shunyang County. , came to Shunyang County with Yuan Hong's head. Yuan Xuedong, who saw Mr. Wang, could not have been sent by the lord. I think Mr. Wang was deceived."

"Cheated? Did Yuan Xuedong lie to me, or did Yuan Shu lie to me?"

Wang Lei said in a cold tone, "After I entered Nanyang County, you spoke about Yuan Hong on behalf of Yuan Shu, and expressed that Yuan Shu was willing to execute Yuan Hong to show his heart. Not long after, Yuan Xuedong came to visit me again outside Bing County. , saying that Yuan Shu changed his mind and would send Yuan Hong's head in Qingshanyu."

"Yuan Xuedong is a member of Yuan Shao. He follows Yuan Hong and waits for an opportunity to deal with this official. Because of Yuan Shu's hesitation, Yuan Xuedong has an opportunity to take advantage of. If Yuan Shu kills Yuan Hong early and gets rid of the people around Yuan Hong, everything Neither will happen."

Wang Lei's tone became more severe, and he shouted loudly: "Master Yan, you said this was a misunderstanding, but I think it was intentional."

"Yuan Shu deliberately delayed the time, just to let Yuan Hong arrange it and kill me with the help of Yuan Hong."

"Yuan Shu has evil intentions, how can I not know?"

"Lord Yan is Yuan Shu's vassal, Yuan Shu's confidant. You should know that when I first arrived in Shunyang County, Yuan Shu once showed me his favor, but he secretly colluded with Liu Bei and wanted to use Liu Bei's hand to kill me. Now, Yuan Shu is flattering me on the surface, but killing people with a knife, which is exactly in line with Yuan Shu's usual style."

Wang Lei's tone was firm, as if he had already determined that Yuan Shu did it on purpose.

Yan Xiang's waist bent down even more, and he said sincerely: "Master Wang, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the lord. The real Yuan Hong is dead, in other words, the lord has offended Yuan Shao. If the lord wants to murder the king My lord, didn’t I offend Yuan Shao and Lord Wang at the same time, this is not worth the loss! Lord Wang is wise and wise, and he can definitely see the loopholes in it.”

The corner of Wang Lei's mouth rose, and he said, "Can I trust Yuan Shu?"

Gan Ning interjected, "Yuan Shu is extremely cunning, my lord, just kill him and get back all your losses."

Dian Wei said: "Uncle Dian wanted to do a big fight a long time ago, and the weapons are all rusted."

Lu Bu shook his sleeves and said in a leisurely manner, "My Fang Tian painted halberd hasn't been stained with blood for a long time."

All of them were full of murderous intent, Yan Xiang's heart trembled.

Shunyang County is close to Wuguan. Wang Lei started the war here, and Wuguan's army is bound to go south.At that time, the war will spread throughout Nanyang County, and Yuan Shu cannot afford such consequences.Thinking of this, Yan Xiang secretly said that Yuan Shu was too hesitant to do things. If he directly executed Yuan Hong and all of Yuan Hong's followers when he saw Yuan Hong, it would be impossible to assassinate Wang Lei.

Yan Xiang's mind turned quickly, and he said: "Lord Wang, please calm down, generals, please calm down... My lord will definitely give Lord Wang an explanation for this matter, and he will compensate Lord Wang for his loss."

Dian Wei nodded, and said, "Compensation is more or less the same... Hmph, my lord was injured, so I must make good compensation. Go back quickly and let Yuan Shu prepare the items for compensation."

Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Yan Xiang retreated respectfully and returned to the county seat of Shunyang County.

Dian Wei said: "My lord, if Yuan Shu is sensible, he will definitely prepare money and items this time. If Yuan Shu can send a batch of war horses, that would be the best result."

Wang Lei smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, just wait!"

……

After Yan Xiang left the barracks, he ran all the way, and soon returned to the city.When he came to the city, he went straight to the post station.After arriving at Yuan Shu's room, Yan Xiang bowed and saluted.

With a smile on his face, Yuan Shu asked, "Master, what did Wang Lei say? Is he not going to the city?"

Yan Xiang looked bitter, and said: "My lord, something serious has happened!"

"What happened?" Yuan Shu asked.

Yan Xiang looked dignified, and replied slowly: "After Yuan Hong arrived in Wan County, although he was controlled by the lord, he sent someone to fake the lord's order in Qingshan Valley and gave Wang Lei a fake Yuan Hong's head. You took the opportunity to assassinate Wang Lei, causing Wang Lei to be injured. Wang Lei thinks that you are intentionally conniving with Yuan Hong and want to borrow a knife to kill someone. The situation is very bad!"

The smile on Yuan Shu's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

I thought it was a good thing, but I didn't know that the situation has changed.

With a straight face, Yuan Shu paced back and forth in the room and said, "In order to make friends with Wang Lei, I have already executed Yuan Hong and completely offended Yuan Shao. Now that something like this happened, if you don't appease Wang Lei, you will offend Wang Lei. Can’t get it. No, it can’t be like this. Master Yan, what do you think should be done?”

Yan Xiang thought for a while and said, "My lord, I think the only thing left to do is make an apology."

"How to say?" Yuan Shu hurriedly asked.

Yan Xiang thought about it carefully, and said: "Looking at Wang Lei's attitude, even though he insisted that the lord would kill with a knife, he seemed to have other thoughts in his speech, and he didn't intend to turn against the lord. Just imagine, if Wang Lei insisted that the lord would kill with a knife , will definitely bring soldiers to kill, it is impossible to hang one head and one corpse outside the camp. As long as enough compensation is given, it is still feasible."

Yuan Shu asked, "How to compensate?"

Yan Xiang replied: "It's nothing more than money, jewels, women, and BMWs. My lord prepares some gifts and goes to Wang Lei's camp to apologize in person. In this way, the conflict will definitely be resolved."

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "I'm a dignified member of the Yuan family, and I'm still the prefect of Nanyang County. I personally went to Wang Lei's camp to apologize. How decent is this?"

Yan Xiang sighed lightly: "My lord wants to make friends with Dong Zhuo and Wang Lei, this is the only way to do it."

When he spoke, Yan Xiang was secretly contemptuous in his heart.As a superior, Yuan Shu only wanted to enjoy the majesty of the superior, but he did not have the tolerance of the superior, which was disappointing.

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, you go prepare, we will head to Wang Lei's camp."

Yan Xiang said goodbye and left, and immediately went to prepare.

About half an hour later, Yan Xiang came to the room again, and said respectfully: "My lord, it's ready. I have prepared ten fine horses, ten singers, and two boxes of money and jewels to compensate Wang Lei for his loss."

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Wang Lei's barracks."

A group of people left the post station and took a car to the camp where Wang Lei's army was stationed.
