Chapter 206 The murderer is not Sun Quan
"Can Mei Cheng agree?"

"Yan Xiang wants to recruit him, but I am willing to acquiesce in his existence. This kind of thieves who only look at the immediate interests will definitely agree."

"But Chen Duan will definitely not cooperate"

"Hehe, I don't need his cooperation, I just need to borrow his name and his head."

"I can save it."

Originally, Sun Ce asked Li Shu to drive the tiger to eat the wolf, but now Li Shu, using the self-government of Yunxian County and the empty salary as a bait, teamed up with Mei Cheng to trap and kill Yan Xiang, the tiger, and planned to plant it on Sun Quan.

Cao Cao once asked Yan Xiang to name Sun Quan as a talented person. If Sun Quan was charged with killing Yan Xiang, the court and Jiangdong would immediately turn against each other, and Sun Quan would also be accused of "deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors".

Li Shu also planned to regain the small forces in the northern part of Lujiang, and if he advances, he will separate the entire Huainan and if he retreats, he will completely occupy Lujiang, so he recruited troops frantically during this period.

In addition to the above reasons, Li Shu also had practical considerations for trapping and killing Yan Xiang. He had to increase his troops to fight against Jiangdong, and Lujiang experienced Sun Ce's looting last year.

Yan Xiang was recommended by Xun Yu to serve in Yangzhou. In order to let him gain the hearts of the people in Huainan, Xun Yu had transferred food relief last year.

Including Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, and Li Shu, they all had the idea of ​​Shouchun Guancang.

One of the big cakes that Li Shu painted for Mei Cheng also had food from Shouchun Guancang.

Li Shu and Fu Yu planned for more than a month, and finally led to Yan Xiang in late July.

Fu Yu sent people to pretend to be Chen Duan to accompany him, and went to Shouchun to say that Li Shu gathered people to rebel against Jiangdong. The county receives soldiers and civilians.

Because of his lack of troops, Yan Xiang mainly treated Mei Cheng, Chen Lan and others in the north of Lujiang River as Huairou, so he sent envoys to Yan County to verify, and found that Mei Cheng had sincerely surrendered.

There was Chen Duan's personal report before him, an envoy went to Yun County for verification, and some Longxiang soldiers accepted Junqiu without bloodshed. Yan Xiang put down his guard and led three thousand soldiers to accept it.

Yan Xiang was worried that bandits would harass him on the road, so he mobilized all the ships to go south, from Feishui to Shaopi and then into Feishui, and finally landed in the west of Yun County.

Originally, the journey went smoothly, but as a result, after walking a few miles ashore, Li Shu's ambush soldiers who had been ambushing on Mount Yan suddenly rushed out when they saw the city.

To the west of Xun County is the Yushui River, backed by Mount Xun, and the mountainous terrain is very easy to set up an ambush. Yan Xiang's [-] soldiers are almost infantry.

Yan Xiang was one of the few who had mounts, and was heavily besieged because he was too conspicuous.

Before being captured, Yan Xiang pointed at the enemy and yelled: "Chen Duan is a traitor, you have put me in this predicament, you will die."

Li Shu wanted to use Yan Xiang's head to frame him, so neither Yan Xiang nor the cursing Chen Duan survived the summer of Jian'an's fifth year.

Fu Yu brought tens of thousands of people from Wan County to participate in the ambush. Mei Cheng was worried about the surge in Li Shu's troops, so he discussed with Fu Yu to "divide the spoils" again.

Mei Cheng intends to take advantage of the opportunity of Yan Xiang's killing to seize Shouchun under the banner of Yan Xiang, and give Li Shu the county he occupied.

Since the incident happened suddenly and Mei Cheng had seized the ship first, Fu Yu was forced to agree.

Fu Yu led his troops back to Wan County. Li Shu heard that Mei Cheng had changed his mind and was furious. He cursed loudly: "Mei Cheng is a thief. We worked so hard to plan, but in the end we married this villain. You deserved to be killed in the first place." killed them."

"At that time, Mei Cheng's people had seized the ship, and if they wanted to escape, they couldn't stop them. In addition, Mei Cheng threatened that if we didn't follow, he would inform Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and he would eventually throw a mouse trap."

After Fu Yu finished speaking, his face was filled with embarrassment.

After hearing this, Li Shu's eyes became more gloomy, and he looked outside the door and said coldly: "This guy wants to eat Shouchun's money alone, I'm afraid he doesn't have such a big belly, and he will go to the north to promote more, and Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Zhang Duo may all know it." to congratulate"

"Uh"

Fu Yu reminded hesitantly: "In case Meicheng informs Cao Cao and Sun Quan."

Li Shu snorted coldly: "Even if Mei Cheng doesn't tell the truth, will Sun Quan admit it willingly? As for Cao Cao's belief, it doesn't matter, we will submit to the imperial court at the worst, can Sun Quan submit to the imperial court? The most important thing is to pour out the dirty water, like the escaped soldiers around him will help him promote”

"The two heads of Yan Xiang and Chen Duan." Fu Yu hesitated to speak.

Li Shuxu replied, "Yan Xiang's head is packed in an exquisite wooden box, and we will send it to Xudu tomorrow on a fast horse. As for the head of the 'culprit' Chen Duan, we will wait three to five days before sending it out to arrest the murderer." It takes time."

"I can save it." Fu Yu clasped his fists and nodded.

In the same month when Li Shu trapped and killed Yan Xiang, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Hebei crossed the Yellow River. Yuan Shao led the main force to gather in Yangwu, and the prelude to the Guandu War began slowly.

Yuan Shao personally supervised the battle at the front, and the combat effect was far better than that of partial divisions.

Soldiers from Hebei set up camps in the sand, and the camp was about tens of miles wide from east to west. When the northern soldiers arrived at the Guandu battlefield later, they were able to obtain local materials and occupy the initiative on the battlefield condescendingly.

Cao Cao organized attacks many times, but all were unfavorable.

Yuan Shao ordered people to build towers and oars, and piled up soil as high as a hill. The soldiers shot down at Cao Ying with arrows.

At the critical moment, it was at the top of the ban rate department again, he encouraged the soldiers to hold their ground, otherwise Cao Cao would be torn apart at the beginning of the battle at Guandu.

While Yuan Shao confronted him head-on, other methods did not stop. During this period, good news came from his hometown in Runan. Liu Pi, the remnant member of the Yellow Turban Party, wanted to respond with troops.

Then Yuan and Cao's armies continued to fight back and forth on the Guandu battlefield, thundering cars, tunnel warfare, robbing camps, raiding grain roads, etc.

The Yuan and Cao families were fighting fiercely at Guandu, and information on the battlefield would spread to various places one after another, but Hefei, where Long Xiang was located, had no sources of news since the end of July and early August.

Yan Xiang, the governor of Yangzhou, was trapped and killed, and the rogue Meicheng led his army to occupy Shouchun City with his seal, and the secret agents sent by Hefei were forced to return.

According to the news sent back by Xizuo, Sun Quan was recruited by Yuan Shao and ordered Chen Duan to lure and kill Yan Xiang in Bishui, with the purpose of occupying Huainan and attacking Cao Cao's rear.

Long Xiang, Lu Su, Liu Ye and others were shocked after hearing this, and Zhang Fei who was waiting for the news was even more restless.

I saw him pacing on the spot with his hands behind his back, yelling to everyone: "It's all right now, Shouchun is occupied by a group of rogues, where will the news of Runan come from?"

Liu Ye comforted: "General Yide, don't worry, Meicheng has only a few thousand thieves, and he will not dare to stay in Shouchun for a long time. The governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court died, and the imperial court will soon send a new governor. Then the news will naturally recover. "

"Cao Bandit is fighting with Yuan Shao at Guandu. How can there be time to appoint a new governor? Today, the world cannot be the master."

Zhang Fei frowned and shook his head: "If there is news about my eldest brother, can't I help in time?"

"No one expected it to happen so suddenly"

After Long Xiang comforted Zhang Fei, he looked at Lu Su and Liu Ye in puzzlement: "Sun Quan's hand can be stretched long enough, he hasn't even solved Li Shu's problem, and still has the mind to plot against Yan Xiang? His Can soldiers reach Shouchun?

"The murderer is definitely not Sun Quan."
