Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 138 Great Power Game: "Soldiers, Deceitful Ways!"

Youzhou, Zhuo County.

The guards in front of the gate of the Zhuoxian county government stood solemnly. When they saw Liu Bei, they all knelt down on one knee and moved neatly, but they didn't say a word.

These guards are not yamen servants, but ghost soldiers in the way of the celestial master.

Liu Bei's mood became more restrained at this moment, and his expression became extraordinarily solemn. He strode into the door and took a seat in the hall.

Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Zhen Yi and a group of ghost soldiers had been waiting here for a long time. Some ghost soldiers held a plate of bamboo slips and placed them on Liu Bei's desk one by one.

"Play something!"

Following Liu Bei's order.

Zhang Fei yelled: "Xuande, I am controlling all the gates of Zhuo County, not to mention people, even a dog can't get out, just don't worry."

This is the closure order of Zhuo County.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, in the case of medical shortages, the entire county can only be temporarily blocked.

Jian Yong reported back: "Xuande, the people's hearts are still stable, a large number of people joined the Tao of Heavenly Masters, became ghost soldiers, and assisted the government servants in managing the order of Zhuo County. There were no complaints."

"Okay!" Liu Bei sighed with emotion, and immediately turned his gaze to Zhen Yi's side. "Brother Zhen, are there enough food and medicinal materials?"

This is what Liu Bei is most concerned about.

The food and medicinal materials of all the people in a county town need to be provided by the Zhen family.

How huge is this number?

Liu Bei knew that the Zhen family had hoarded a lot of money and food because of Liu Di, but how much did they have?Whether it can withstand such consumption, no one knows!
"Don't worry, it may not be too much, but in three months, you can still bear it."

Zhen Yi's tone was firm.

Another ghost soldier reported: "Reporting to County Magistrate Liu, the Holy Maiden's use of 'talisman water to cure diseases' has achieved some results and can alleviate the plague to a certain extent, but the effect of the medicine will become worse and worse as time goes by. , I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

As the ghost soldier said, these medicinal materials are similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, and the first pack has a significant effect, but as time goes by... the effect will become worse and worse.

Hearing this, Liu Bei tapped the table with his hand, "Everyone should perform their duties, and we must persist for at least three months until the day Guanzhu Liu arrives!"

Everyone shouted: "Yes!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei slowly spread out the map of Zhuo County on the table. His fingertips started from Zhuo County and gradually spread outward, from Liangxiang, Fangcheng, Fanyang, Qiuguo, Gu'an, Beixincheng...

In the end, the palms were stretched out, completely covering Zhuojun.

He raised his head, but muttered in his heart.

Brother Liu ordered to prevent the spread of the plague...

It is not enough to block only one Zhuo County!
There are already too many plague-stricken refugees wandering around in Zhuo County. The most urgent thing is to seal off the entire Zhuo County as soon as possible...as soon as possible.

Thinking of this...

Liu Bei showed a sad face: "After all, is it still impossible to avoid the prefect of Zhuojun?"

...

...

The sun was shining on the ridge of the roof. In the majestic Taishou Mansion, Liu Bei bowed to the Taishou of Zhuojun.

The prefect of Zhuojun was reading a book in his hand, completely ignoring him.

"Reporting to the governor, the city of Zhuo County is closed, and the spread of the plague can be controlled to a certain extent, but if the city of Zhuo County is not sealed, there will still be refugees from the county running around, and the entire Youzhou still has a huge hidden danger of the spread of the plague! Liu Bei implores the county It only takes three months to follow the order to close the county, and wait until the plague is cured...then unseal, the plague in the northern border of the Han Dynasty will be completely safe!"

"Are you finished?"

The sheriff looked a little impatient...

"Governor, for the sake of the whole Youzhou and the people in the northern border, I hope the sheriff will make a decisive decision!" Liu Bei still begged bitterly.

"Xuande." Finally, the sheriff stood up slowly and squinted at Liu Bei. "It's nothing more than a city closure in Zhuo County. Do you know the consequences and impact of a city closure in a county? How panic will the people feel?"

"There is a plague in Zhuo County, and the governor of this county knows it, but what is more terrible than the spread of the plague is the mutiny of the people... Can Xuande provide food and medicinal materials for the people of a county? But can Xuande help the people of a county? This letter City, hehe, nonsense!"

Liu Bei's heart was heavy, and he wanted to persuade him again.

However, the county guard responded to his funny voice of "bang bang" with cold words, "This is a county government office, and it is in charge of the people of a county? How can you lose the big because of the small? Because the plague cut off the people's lives." Livelihood, forcing the people to rebel? Don’t mention it again after this time!”

Speaking of here…

A county official reported outside the door: "Report to the county guard, Chang Shi Zhang has got up, is the county guard going to accompany him to have a meal?"

Hearing this, the county guard put down the letter, "This is a big event, how can we delay? Come on, prepare the carriage quickly, and take me to meet Zhang Changshi!"

The Zhang Changshi he was talking about was naturally Zhang Rang.

As the head of the ten permanent attendants, to be favored by him, the governor of Zhuojun has firmly grasped a huge backer. In the future... transferred to the mainland, or transferred to the court, the future is boundless, and he must not have it The slightest sloppy.

Youzhou…

Which official would like to stay in this extremely cold place?

"I'm retiring, and no one else should be left here."

With a wave of the sheriff's long sleeve, the guard got the order and stepped forward to drag Liu Bei out.

"Junshou, Junshou... please... please help the people of Youzhou, and the people of the northern border..." Liu Bei's pleading voice resounded through the verandah.

Not long after, the sheriff had already left the government office in a carriage.

At noon, the sun shone brightly in front of the mottled government office, Liu Bei sadly walked out of the gate, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong who came together hurriedly surrounded him.

"Xuande? How?"

Jian Yong asked quickly.

Liu Bei shook his head and remained silent.

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei's dejected expression, "It must be because of his own selfish desires that he refused to listen to Xuande, this kind of official deserves a beating, let me beat him up directly, and keep him obedient. "

As he spoke, Zhang Fei clenched his fists, intending to make a big fuss in the county government office.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong grabbed him at the same time.

"No!"

Liu Bei persuaded again and again.

Jian Yong's eyeballs turned for a while, and he suddenly thought of something, "Xuande... Didn't you mention before that Guanzhu Liu left you three kits, and when you came to Zhuo County, you opened the first one. , have no choice but to open the second..."

"Before I came to Zhuo County, the first kit was to let Xuande go home. Sure enough, there was a hole in the house. Tianshidao sent saints and ghost soldiers to help us seal the city in Zhuo County, and even sent Zhen Yi to be in charge of food and medicinal materials. The supply... is considered to have opened up the situation, so... now... isn't it the time to do nothing? Maybe..."

With Jian Yong's reminder, Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses.

He still has two brocade pouches of Brother Liu on his body.

Hastily took out the second kit from his bosom, this is a green kit, Liu Bei wanted to open it...Jian Yong quickly stopped him, and proposed to open it after getting into the carriage.

The three hurriedly boarded the carriage, and then Liu Bei slowly unfolded the kit, which still only contained a few words—Zhong Chang Servant, Zhang Rang!
"Zhang Rang?"

Jian Yong recited the name subconsciously.

Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "How could it be that bird man?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, ten breaths... twenty breaths, a full thirty breaths, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I see, that's how it is... that's how it is..."

"No wonder Brother Liu wants...to bring this person with us to Zhuo County to fight the plague, so that's why..."

Liu Bei, who thought it through thoroughly, immediately ordered the groom.

"Go to the posthouse! Go at once!"

...

...

In Nanyang, the news that the new prefect Liu Yu is going to Xinye City has spread thoroughly.

There is Jiyang County in the northeast of Xinye City, and Cen Peng and Ma Chengcheng, among the 28 generals of Yuntai, are from here.

It's just...now not only the Cen family and the Ma family, but also the descendants of the Chen family in nearby Xi'e County, the descendants of the Jia family in Champion County, and the Du family gathered here.

Xi'e County is the hometown of Zhang Heng, a scientist, astronomer and writer in the Han Dynasty.

This Zhang Heng is the one who made the seismograph, not the second generation of Tianshi Dao;
Champion County is the fiefdom of champion Hou Huo Qubing, Yuntai 28 generals Zhong Jia Fu and Du Mao are both champions.

certainly…

Passed down to the current generation, the energy of these clans in the local area may not be bad, but looking at the entire Han, or the entire Nanyang, it is not enough.
For this reason, the Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, and Chen families joined forces to find a big backer.

at this time…

A long distance away, in the secret room of the Cen family, the patriarchs of the five major families gathered together...

What are you talking about.

"Patriarchs, this newly promoted county guard is not very old, but he is not easy to deal with... Wancheng is a lesson from the past. Jiyang County, Xi'e County, and Champion County cannot follow Wancheng's footsteps."

"Three days ago, I sent a fast horse to send the situation here to the capital... It is expected that Yang Situ's reply will come soon. Before that... the five of us must not act rashly."

"What's the matter? Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Tweeting Over the years, but our family's fiefdoms have become more and more scattered and smaller... The farms and fields have also been 'finished'. To make a fortune from this plague, what kind of mess is this little sheriff making?"

"I heard that the little sheriff went to Xinye City? There is the Deng family there, hehe... It would be interesting if the two of them fought, but fortunately... they didn't come to our side of Xi'e County..."

"What's the matter here? Wancheng admits cowardice because Wancheng has no reliance. Behind us is the Hongnong Yang family. Its patriarch, Yang Ci, is the great Situ of the dynasty. Is it possible...will acquiesce in this little sheriff's bullying us? "

"Everyone be quiet, all in all... don't act rashly!"

...

Over there, Xinye City.

Among the 28 Yuntai generals, Xinye Dengjia, who ranks first...

At this time, Deng, the patriarch of the Deng family, was staring at a map with his eyebrows fixed. A line was drawn on the map, which was the route of Liu Yu's cavalry going south.

"How could you go to the town of 'Shayan'?" Deng frowned, and his fingers traced along the eyes, and crossed another road, which was the road from Wancheng, Bowangpo ... to Xinye.

You need to know... "Shayan Town" has a long history, and tribes have been formed in the Neolithic period. By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, the Nanyang prefect set up a cofferdam here to divert water to irrigate the fields, and changed its name to "Shayan".

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became an important town between Nanyang and Xinye.

In the Three Kingdoms period, such as the battlefield "Quewei Slope", "Guan Su Sang", such as "Separate Ridge" where Xu Shu returned to Ma Jianzhuge, and the ancient city of Liu, Guan, and Zhang's three brothers, they were all here.

only…

If you came here from Wancheng and then went to Xinye, it would be a bit far away!
Deng Mou pursed his mouth.

After thinking about it for a long time, finally, he seemed to have figured out something.

"wrong…"

Deng's eyes slowly opened, as if he understood Liu Yu's situation all at once.

"He's not coming to Xinye City, but... he's coming to Jiyang County!"

"This is... this is a slap in the face!"

Deng immediately ordered: "Come here, come here..."

Wei Yan stood outside the door, and immediately entered the hall when he heard Deng's words.

"Patriarch Deng?"

"Master Wen, it was you who sent letters to other clans, then...you tell me, how is the situation in Jiyang County?" Deng asked hastily.

This…

Wei Yan replied without hesitation: "The Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, and Chen clan heads all gathered in Jiyang County, most likely to discuss the matter of the new county guard going south!"

"I knew it!"

Deng's fists were clenched suddenly, and he murmured in his heart... "It's over, this Liu Yu is planning to take them all together, so that he can make a big move..."

At this time, Deng Mou fully understood.

In name, Liu Yu went south to Xinye...to trouble the Deng family, but in fact...it was through this incident that all the Nanyang generals among the 28 generals in Yuntai became anxious and panicked...

Once panicked, gather...

They will report to the group to keep warm, and all the patriarchs will rush to the place closest to Xinye City, waiting for the result of the game between the Deng family and Liu Yu.

But who would have thought...

Liu Yu's goal was never the Deng family...but...the rest of them.

Putting this in the art of war is to invite the king into the urn and catch the turtle in the urn!

For a moment, Deng's eyes were tightly condensed. As a descendant of Yuntai's 28 generals, he has read a lot of military books, but who would have thought...

This Liu Yu will use the art of war here!

Seeing that Deng's expression was not quite right, Wei Yan quickly asked: "Patriarch Deng's expression? What's the reason? The soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil. With me and Huang Hansheng here, it's hard to be... This new county guard dares to be strong." To seize Xinye City?"

Ha ha…

Deng sneered, and while shaking his head, he said with emotion: "He, Liu Yu, would not dare to take advantage of us, but it is not impossible to take Jiyang County in one pot. At that time... the whole Nanyang will only be left with a corner of our Xinye City How can we persist? At that time, the situation will really be over!"

Speaking of here…

Deng kept shaking his head, and while shaking his head, he sighed with emotion: "Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, Chen... I just hope, I just hope that these five families can compete for a little bit..."

Thinking of this, Deng suddenly thought of something.

"Wait..." he murmured. "Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, Chen...isn't the backstage of the five families... the Hongnong Yang family?"

"If it's the Hongnong Yang family, with that old bastard Yang Ci backing them up, they won't be able to keep up...they can withstand Liu Yu's attack!"

Thinking of this, Deng Mou's mood improved a lot.

He thought he was a tiger, and it was the Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, Chen... families who sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.

Well now, his Deng family can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!
certainly…

Who wins and who loses is still unknown!
"Wen Chang, you go to Jiyang County in person, and if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately!"

heard...

Wei Yan cupped his hands: "Patriarch Deng, just rest assured!"

...

...

Shayan Town.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are green grass and green sky!
Liu Yu admired the surrounding scenery with great interest.

The road he walked is the thousand-year-old "Wanxiang Ancient Road"...

According to "Yu Gong", the Wanxiang ancient road was a main land route for paying tribute and land tax to the imperial court in the Xia and Shang dynasties.

It is connected with the water system extending in all directions in the Nanyang Basin. It goes straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains through the Tangbai River, and goes straight to Guanzhong through Danshui Keke.

Even in the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River was transported to Nanyang via the Han River, and then transported to the capital by the Wanxiang Ancient Road by land. This is the first time for Liu Yu to walk this "thousand-year-old" ancient road.

but…

It was completely different from his mood of admiring the scenery along the way.

Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Wen Pin and his party... were almost stunned.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Xinye City.

Suddenly, Liu Yu ordered to turn to Jiyang... not to mention someone else, even everyone in the cavalry was in a mess.

Didn't he agree that he was going to wrestle with the number one "Deng family" among Yuntai's 28 generals?

how…

The momentum has been created, and public opinion has also come out, but in the end it runs counter to the original choice!

Go and attack the weaker Thorny Sun.

Isn't that the same as...

Previously... there were warnings and rhetoric, but the final result was thunder and rain!

If this spreads, won't it disappoint and make a joke of the entire Xinye City people, even the entire Nanyang people, and the entire Central Plains people?

"Guanzhu Liu, for Guan's opinion, let's go to Xinye City. It's true...The Deng family is the head of the 28 generals in Yuntai, and their subordinates are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, but Gongming, Zhongye and I are not vegetarians. Cover up, we are not afraid!"

Guan Yu was the first to persuade...

Xu Huang and Wenpin repeatedly said yes.

"Why don't you go to Xinye City? If word spreads, you think Liu Junshou is afraid of them? So... I can't afford to lose face! The fight against the plague in the future? Which family will be convinced?"

It seems...Xu Huang is not convinced.

Although Wenpin didn't speak, the determination in his eyes was also released. He wanted Liu Yu to win Xinye City in one go.

only…

Contrary to their sincerity.

Liu Yu just waved his hands lightly, and explained carefully: "Brother Guan, Brother Xu, Brother Wen...Have you guys read "The Art of War"?"

Before the three could answer, Liu Yu's voice came one after another.

""Sun Tzu's Art of War" says, "Soldiers are cunning." Therefore, what can be used can show that it can't be used, that it can be used to show that it can't be used, that it's close can show that it's far, and that it's far can show that it's close.”

"The advantage lures it, the chaos takes it, the reality prepares it, the strong avoids it, the anger scratches it, the humble makes it arrogant, the loss makes it tired, the relatives leave it, attacks the unprepared, surprises it. This strategist Victory should not be passed on first."

chant here...

Liu Yu's tone became more solemn and serious.

"Deduced to the current situation, the people, clans, and officials all over the world know that our next stop is going to Xinye, and our opponent Deng's family also knows that they must have made full preparations!"

"In this way, and according to the original plan, even if the Deng family can admit defeat, they will inevitably suffer great backlash..."Sun Tzu's Art of War" emphasizes the word 'quan' throughout, and 'quan' means preservation. The Deng family conceded, but we paid a huge and painful price. It's not worth it. It's better to start from another place and take the other cities and counties by surprise. At that time, the Deng family of Xinye City will become Lone army, didn't they let us slaughter them at that time?"

Liu Yu's plan is like a game between great powers...

When the other party is fully prepared, if you force a shot, even if you can win, the price will be too high!
This is completely contrary to the word "quan" in "The Art of War"...

The so-called soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated!

War is easy, but what happens after the war?

There are too many things to consider, and it is not something that can be decided by patting your head.

Quite the opposite...

How to "subdue the enemy without fighting" is the best strategy and great wisdom.

To put it simply, it is "soldiers and tricks", don't do things that are calculated by others, have precautions, and plans.

Even if public opinion temporarily falls into a disadvantage and is despised by others, isn't it the "humble and arrogant" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War"...

Everything is for the final "attacking the unprepared and taking it by surprise".

The disadvantage of public opinion is to gain the upper hand in some more critical places!
Liu Yu described the whole story in detail to Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Wenpin and others...

Although there is some deep great power game, they do not yet fully understand.

But, I have to say, after Liu Yu's words...

His approach is more rational and has a greater chance of winning.

"Don't worry..." Liu Yu reassured: "If Nanyang County is captured and all the other counties are taken, is it possible...it is a small Xinye Deng's family, can it still withstand the storm?"

"Victory is ours in the end, it's just a matter of order!"

Speaking of here…

Liu Yu's eyes flickered with brilliance.

just like…

Regarding the situation here, he has a well-thought-out plan!

...

...

Luoyang City, Shangshutai...

In the meantime, a group of officials sat around and were discussing the candidates for the "Deputy Commander of Xiyuan School".

Because the national treasury was full, the emperor Liu Hong proposed to expand the Xiyuan Xiaowei army, and increase the original one "Xiaowei" to two.

Naturally, one more deputy commander should be elected.

You know, this is the direct line of the emperor's army, guarding the Luoyang Palace, and what they hold is military power, real power!

to this end…

Undercurrents surged from all sides, and the fight was bloody.

There are many candidates, including eunuchs, clansmen, and generals.

For a while, they couldn't argue.

The person who made the decision was precisely Situ Yangci...

"Cough cough..."

Coughing out several times, Yang Ci's expression was gloomy. Some of his subordinates were helping the eunuchs, and some were helping the clan... This made Yang Ci, who was used to not helping each other and was in a neutral position, a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and Taifu Yuan Kai pushed open the door of Shangshutai and walked in.

Seeing Yuan Kai, Yang Ci quickly gave up his seat...

Although the position of Taifu has no real power, it is above Yang Ci in terms of rank... plus Yuan Wei is also older than him.

Yuan Kui looked at these draft lists, his cheeks were not leaking.

"Yang Situ, the selection of the deputy commander of the Xiyuan school's lieutenant army is of great importance this time. It is related to the defense of the capital, and it is also related to the safety of His Majesty. The words of the school lieutenant army... have already been expanded. Who will be the final candidate? Consider it carefully!"

Overtones - 〖Now these people can't do it, we have to choose another one! 〗

Yang Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth again and again: "Does Taifu Yuan think there is something wrong with these people on the list?"

"No, no, no!"

Yuan Kai waved his hands again and again. "I think the candidates on these lists are all very good!"

——〖Everything is good is bad in itself! 〗

"Some of them come from the frontier, some of their families are officials in the inner court, and some are courageous and resolute. They serve as county captains in places where riots occur frequently, supporting the entire county. It is beneficial to those counties. Emotional!"

——〖Some people are generals, some are eunuchs, and some people are too "honest" to win over. They can't be transferred after several years in a riotous place. They have no background behind them. Let them stay there honestly! 〗

Speaking of this, Yuan Kai changed the subject.

"However, then again, these people have never dealt with His Majesty...with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, so...I still hope that Yang Situ and Shang Shutai can carefully and carefully consider the people who can take on this important task. You must be able to get acquainted with all the ministers, otherwise... there will be big troubles!"

——〖The deputy commander of the Xiyuan School Lieutenant Army, I, Runan Yuan, don't want outsiders to come and sit!You Hongnong Yang don't want it either, do you? 〗

"There were eunuchs in charge of the government in the Han Dynasty. This candidate, at least for some time, has to speak well for us courtiers and His Majesty... He can't let His Majesty block the way of speaking, and he can't be used by the young people, right?"

——〖Eunuchs must not be considered, otherwise it will be a nightmare for our scholar-bureaucrat group!The old man has an absolutely loyal and suitable candidate here. 〗

"However, the old man still said the same thing. As the grand master and the emperor's teacher, the old man is not from the Shangshutai... These old men are just opinions and suggestions...You can refer to it or not!"

——〖The old man said so, whoever of you dare not refer to it, that is to disrespect the Runan Yuan family! 〗

"The specific candidates are still up to you to decide!"

——〖The candidate I want to propose will come from your mouths. 〗

Yuan Kai made a lot of talk, and there was something in the words...

Every sentence is a hidden mystery.

Yang Ci rolled his eyes, and immediately understood something, he opened his mouth and said, "Teacher Yuan, in fact, I do have someone who is not on this list, and I think it is very suitable."

Yuan Kui aroused many interests at once.

"Come on, talk about it."

——〖Yang Situ, we are engaged to be married, my granddaughter is going to marry your son, you have to convince everyone for the old man! 〗

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu."

Yang Ci immediately read his name.

With these words blurted out, all the officials in Shangshutai were stunned...

Yang Ci's words continued. "Yuan Benchu ​​was born in Taixue. He was a disciple of the emperor (good background), he was a Langguan, and served as a Puyang order (high ability). He even organized the Runan Ten-Day Talk in Runan. All of them are celebrities... It can be said that they have gained fame. (Fame), he is also the disciple of Qiao Taiwei and Cai Shilang, (relationship), this Situ asked about Qiao Taiwei and Cai Shilang, and he was full of praise. ( With the help of a third party to enhance persuasiveness), besides, he was originally a member of the clan, (not an outsider), and now it is reasonable to assume the post of deputy commander of the Xiyuan school lieutenant again."

"Such a candidate is hard to find even with a lantern, right? (My in-laws, are these reasons enough?)"

hiss…

With these words blurted out, more than a dozen officials in the entire Shangshutai lowered their heads and remained silent.

On the contrary, Yuan Kai seemed very excited.

"No, no, how can this work? Although Benchu ​​looks good in every way, he is my nephew after all..."

——〖I, Yuan Kai, don't want others to gossip, and the Runan Yuan family can't be gossiped either. 〗

"With such a relationship, wouldn't it be bad for the ministers to misunderstand?"

——〖Dear family, you still have to find a reason to silence them for me. 〗

Yang Ci's eyeballs rolled, and he continued to open his mouth: "Well... Yuan Taifu don't have to worry, Your Majesty's eloquent words, it's not necessary to avoid relatives for being a virtuous person!"

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Yuan Kai laughed directly.

——〖My in-laws, I really have you, this show about making my son an official...We cooperated well! 〗

The court meeting at Shangshutai is over...

Without exception...Yuan Shao became the only candidate for the new deputy commander of the Xiyuan School's Wei Army.

When Yang Ci returned to Situ's Mansion, he saw that the hall was full of betrothal boxes and cages.

I have read the gift list... Although it is nominally sent by an unknown family, how could Yang Ci not know that this is the wish of the Yuan family in Runan!
As early as a few years ago, the Yang and Yuan families had made a baby marriage.

However, little is known about this relationship.

And what is even less known is that the future Yang Xiu...is the product of this family of Yang and Yuan.

"Ha ha…"

At this time, Yang Ci smiled slightly, looked at the heavy cage, and said with emotion: "The Yuan family's style of doing things is still so 'vigorous and resolute'!"

The voice just fell...

"Report..." Menzi hurried over, holding a letter in both hands, and handed it to Yang Ci. "The heads of five families, Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, and Chen from Nanyang, jointly sent a letter!"

Yang Ci narrowed his eyes when he heard that the five clan heads of Nanyang Cen, Ma, Jia, Du, and Chen...

but soon...

He realized that this letter... probably had something to do with His Majesty's new eunuch sent to Nanyang... the Yulin temple master Liu Yu?
"Where's the messenger?"

"In the side room!"

"Lead the way ahead..."

Rarely, Yang Ci's mood suddenly became tense at this moment.

...

...

　In the past two days, because I have paid too much attention to a certain big event...so the update has been slow.

　　Everyone knows everything...

　　It will be adjusted tomorrow and the two updates will resume.

　　Caramel would also feel heaviness in his heart, but after a night of thinking, he had a new perspective.

　　perhaps…

　　This is the whole word "full" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War";

　　And "Soldiers, Deceitful Ways!" in the Strategies

　　Wait and see—those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away!
