Chapter 59 Yuan Shu’s “Test”

After hearing what Yan Xiang said, Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "Yan Gong, please explain in detail!"

Yan Xiang leaned over and whispered with a smile: "There is a family in our Chengde County who are descendants of Emperor Guangwu."

"Although this family is now in decline, the young master of this family is named Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, and he is a very wise and courageous person."

"According to legend, Liu Ye lost his mother when he was young. Before her death, her mother told him and his brother Liu Huan that their father's servants would harm them after her death. Therefore, they were told to strike first."

"But when my brother Liu Huan saw the servant, he didn't dare to do anything. He was so frightened that he trembled."

"On the contrary, Liu Ye, who was only 13 years old at the time, hosted a banquet for this servant, lowered his status and made the servant feel complacent."

"While the servant's banquet was in full swing, Liu Ye attacked from behind and thrust his sword through his chest!"

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he said, "You are really good material to be a ranger!"

Yan Xiang: "."

Lu Yi: "."

Yuan Shu saw that both of them looked a little wrong, so he laughed awkwardly and said: "Continue! Continue!"

Yan Xiang continued: "Now, this is Liu Ye's age."

"I heard before that Zheng Bao fell into the trap of Chaohu and became a bandit. He occupied the land and became the king. He had tens of thousands of people under his command, including nearly three thousand elites."

"It's really a great strength."

"It's a pity that he can't be used by us."

"This Zheng Bao plans to take these bandits to the northwest and seek refuge with Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou in Xiangyang."

"Because I am afraid that my subordinates will not be willing to follow them all the way, I want to choose a descendant of the royal family to join them, and use their identity to intimidate these people under my subordinates."

"When I heard about Liu Ye, I sent people everywhere to look for Liu Ye."

Yuan Shu's face was ashen and he said: "You bastard! He is a bandit in our Lujiang River. I, Yuan Shu, have never treated him badly. He doesn't want to seek refuge with me, but chooses Liu Biao!"

Yan Xiang echoed: "So, yesterday, when you, Mr. Yuan, hesitated to use this Zheng Bao, I was extremely angry."

Yuan Shu said angrily: "You never told me that Zheng Bao actually wanted to join Liu Biao!"

Yan Xiang took a breath and said with a self-blaming look on his face: "This is my negligence, Mr. Yuan, please forgive me!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's too late now! Tell me, what's the use of mentioning Liu Ye?"

Yan Xiang smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Yuan orders me as an envoy to induce Zheng Bao to eradicate the Zhou family, I only need the Lord 36 Shadow Guards to go to Liu Ye first, and let Liu Ye take the initiative to go to Zheng Bao and agree to join Zheng Bao." precious."

"After that, let Liu Ye introduce me."

"Liu Yegui is a descendant of the royal family. Zheng Bao won't completely ignore him. It shouldn't be a problem if he meets me."

"After meeting with him, I showed him the countermeasures I told Mr. Yuan last night and asked him to attack the Zhou family. After success, all the food and grass will belong to him."

"If he is willing to stay, when the time comes, let him take people to Shu County and make him the governor of Lujiang County."

"In fact, let Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang County, ambush in the city."

"Once Zheng Bao brings people in, they will all be wiped out, leaving no one behind!"

"At that time, we will comfort the world with Zheng Bao's head, saying that we have avenged the Zhou family, and we can silence the world."

"Although the Zhou family supports Sun Ce, they still have a strong reputation."

"Giving them a good ending is not an insult to them, and it can also shock Sun Ce and Zhou Yu."

"After that, we will press the border with a large army and directly cross the river to attack Jiangdong without leaving any way for Sun Ce to retreat!"

"If Zheng Bao is unwilling to stay and wants to take people up to the northwest and seek refuge with Liu Biao, then we will hold a banquet directly after the Zhou family is destroyed and kill him at the banquet!"

"It's just that this is very dangerous."

"If we cannot suppress Zheng Bao's men by then, we will probably be killed."

"but--"

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu, his face full of determination and said: "If I can use my life to eliminate a big disaster for Mr. Yuan, I will be obliged to do so!"

"Men are inherently mortal, or they are heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."

"I, Yan Xiang, am willing to use my life to pave the way for Mr. Yuan."

Looking at Lu Yi beside him, Yan Xiang's expression softened and he said, "It's just that after my death, Duke Yuan destroyed Sun Ce and unified Jiangdong. After he unified Jiangdong, he promoted Lu Lang to be the chief registrar and asked him to serve for Duke Yuan instead of me."

"Although Lu Lang is young, his wisdom and knowledge are no less than mine. I believe he will be able to assist Mr. Yuan better than me."

Lu Yi looked at Yan Xiang and frowned slightly.

Yuan Shu shook his head directly.

Although he recently felt that Lu Yi was easier to get along with than Yan Xiang.

At least, Lu Yi would cater to him and would not displease him.

However, for some reason, he was unwilling to exchange Yan Xiang for Lu Yi.Yan Xiang said anxiously: "Mr. Yuan, why did you refuse? Eradicate the Zhou family——"

Yuan Shu interrupted Yan Xiang and said: "Although I really hate this bad old man like you, who is nagging and nagging like a fly buzzing in my ears. However, I have always regarded you as my friend. minister."

"I want you to live."

"In the future, when I succeed in my empire, I want you to help me govern the world."

"After I die, you will assist my descendants."

"How can the Zhou family be worthy of you?"

"I would rather think of other strategies to deal with the Zhou family than let you take this risk."

Yan Xiang's eyes widened in anger when he heard what Yuan Shu said.

Although he was extremely moved, it was precisely because of this that he had to take this risk.

Scholar die for the confidant!

Although he often resented Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan Shu never wanted to kill him.

Today, I even said these words.

Seeing this, Lu Yi on the side interjected: "I'll go for it! Besides, I think my chances of success are greater than that of Master Yan."

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang both looked at Lu Yi.

Yan Xiang scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are young and you still have a long future -"

Lu Yi looked at Yan Xiang and said seriously: "I'm not rushing to die, I'm speaking very seriously."

"Master Yan doesn't know something. One of my brothers and I are looking for his friend. After Master Yan said so much just now, I discovered that the friend my brother is looking for is actually Liu Ye!"

"It's up to my brother and I to convince Liu Ye to meet Zheng Bao. Liu Ye is more likely to agree."

"Besides, if I encounter the second situation, I will die."

"Prefect Lu Kang died in Shuxian that day, and Sun Ce was naturally the culprit. However, the Zhou family also played a role in it. This is a fact that cannot be eliminated."

"I can't kill Sun Ce, so taking the head of Zhou Yi, the head of the Zhou family, to Huangquan to see Grandmaster Lu Kang will not be in vain for Grandmaster Lu Kang's kindness to me."

Yan Xiang was quite moved when he heard what Lu Yi said.

Although Lu Yi is young, he is the best candidate in terms of wisdom, courage, and character.

Even though Lu Kang had been dead for so long, he still never gave up on avenging him.

Yuan Shu listened to what Lu Yi said, nodded and said: "Lu Lang, don't worry, if you die in the battle and capture Jiangdong one day, I will take all your family and tribe to Shouchun, and let your descendants Make longevity spring order."

"If you can survive, I, Yuan Shu, will marry my youngest daughter to you and capture Jiangdong in the future, and you will work with Yan Gong."

Yan Xiang glanced at Yuan Shu.

He was a little reluctant!

If Lu Yizhen died in battle, Yuan Shu would have one less talent.

But if you think about it carefully, Lu Yi has never forgotten to avenge Lu Kang.

Although Lu Kang was killed by Sun Ce, the man behind the scenes was Yuan Shu.

If he was not allowed to go through fire and water to prove his absolute loyalty to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu would not dare to reuse him.

Moreover, he is now clothed in white clothes and has no meritorious deeds.

If you directly promote him to your side, others will not be convinced.

As for the previous so-called letter from General Zhennan to lead Yangzhou Mu, it was naturally just a tool.

In the final analysis, the document seemed to be for Lu Yi, but in fact, it was just to give the bandits and Baiyue people in Wujun and Kuaiji an upright identity.

Once Sun Ce is executed, the above letter will be invalidated.

This time, it happened to be an opportunity for him to make a contribution and stop other people from talking about it in the future.

Not to mention, Yuan Shu also promised to marry his youngest daughter to him after success.

This is definitely something that countless people never dare to dream of.

Yan Xiang could only say to Lu Yi: "Lu Lang, how much Mr. Yuan values ​​you, you have to weigh it yourself."

Lu Yi glanced at Yuan Shu, bowed and said: "Please give me twenty war horses, Duke Yuan, a letter of agreement with Zheng Bao, and stamp it with Duke Yuan's seal."

"Next time I see Mr. Yuan, I will bring back the heads of Zheng Bao and Zhou Yi, the head of the Zhou family!"

Yuan Shu patted Lu Yi's shoulder heavily and said, "Okay! This is what it looks like to be my Yuan Shu's son-in-law! My Yuan Shu's son-in-law must be someone brave and resourceful!"

After saying that, he said to Yan Xiang: "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to trouble you about that letter."
