Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 261 [Yuan Shu, Sun Jian]

Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Yuan Shu's mansion.

"My lord, I heard that Yuan Shao sent someone to deliver a letter?" Yang Hong asked.

Yuan Shu received Yuan Shu's secret letter and urgently summoned Yang Hong, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to discuss the matter.

Ji Ling is a general, Zhang Xun is a handsome Jiang, and Yang Hong is good at military affairs and strategy.

Therefore, Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's number one counselor, and Yuan Shu treats him as a counselor.When encountering difficulties, most of them would ask Yang Hong for advice.

Now Yuan Shao's secret letter made Yuan Shu dubious, afraid that this was Yuan Shao's plan to sow discord, and wanted him to fight Liu Bei and others to the death.

However, Yuxi is too attractive, Yuan Shu is unwilling to give up this possibility easily, so when he is undecided, he finds three people to discuss.

"This is the secret letter Yuan Shao sent today, you should read it first."

Yuan Shu handed the secret parchment letter to Yang Hong and asked them to circulate it.

Yang Hong took the secret letter respectfully, opened it, his expression changed suddenly, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that Liu Bei really found the jade seal in Luoyang City?"

After reading the secret letter, Yang Hong handed the secret letter to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was also very surprised after reading it, and then handed the secret letter to Ji Ling.

After the three of them finished watching, Yuan Shu asked, "What do you think, but it's okay to say."

Yang Hongxian said, "My lord, it was Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others who entered Luoyang City first, and Liu Bei followed Gongsun Zan."

"At that time, Luoyang City had been burnt down. It must have been a chaotic scene before, and the emperor who evacuated Luoyang in a hurry might have lost his jade seal."

"Therefore, it is very possible that the jade seal was obtained by Liu Bei. And I heard that Liu Bei is still the emperor's uncle, so it is reasonable for him to keep the jade seal."

Yuan Shu said "Oh", and asked: "According to what you said, is there such a thing? However, since Yuan Shao knew that Liu Bei had hidden the jade seal, why didn't he steal it secretly, but told me that he was not doing such a good thing. people."

"What my lord said is that Yuan Benchu ​​couldn't easily tell others about such important matters, most of them are fraudulent!" Zhang Xun said.

Ji Ling had no particular opinion, but sat cross-legged and listened carefully.

Yang Hong had a different opinion. He said, "My lord, Yuan Benchu ​​naturally wouldn't tell my lord such a secret for nothing. Now the biggest possibility is that Yuan Shao has already made a move, but he didn't succeed, and instead suffered a big loss."

"In this way, it can be explained why Yuan Benchu ​​sent a secret letter to the lord. One is to make the lord suffer a big loss just like him, and the other is to use the lord to help him."

Yuan Shu instinctively felt that what Yang Hong said was reasonable, and after thinking about it, he said, "It seems that Liu Bei is not easy to deal with. He can make Yuan Shao suffer, and he must have some advantages."

"Yuxi is a good thing. I don't want to lose it. But I don't want to suffer for no reason, so this matter must be cautious."

With that said, Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong and asked, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Yang Hong replied: "The letter said that Liu Bei's original 3000 people are only a few hundred people left. This information may be wrong."

"Therefore, our first step is to grasp Liu Bei's whereabouts, and at the same time figure out how many troops Liu Bei has."

"Besides, we should prepare enough troops, and they should be complete."

"Finally, you need to observe Sun Jian's movements carefully. If Liu Bei really goes south to Jingzhou, he must seek refuge with Sun Jian, so he will definitely send someone to notify Sun Jian in advance."

"If Sun Jian is involved in this matter, then things will become very complicated."

"Sun Jian?" Yuan Shu frowned. Now that Sun Jian was able to compete with him, he regretted letting Sun Jian develop smoothly in Jingzhou.

However, Sun Jian also encountered a problem now, which made Yuan Shu feel a lot more balanced.

"Sun Jian, I'm afraid he can't get away because of sad things. However, just in case, we still need to monitor his movements."

Yuan Shu said, and then said to Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling: "This matter is the top priority at present, we must do our best!"

……

At the same time, Jingzhou has now panicked the people because of sad things.

All counties and counties are in a closed state.Nanyang County is even more under martial law, no one is allowed to enter Nanyang County.

Sun Jian, who was in Xiangyang City in Nanjun, was really in a state of distress at this time.

Because of the panic brought about by sadness, many thieves and bandits in various counties once again took the opportunity to make trouble.

According to Kuai Yue's suggestion, Sun Jian completely blocked Lingling and Guiyang counties.

Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and Sun Ce also withdrew to Changsha and stationed at the border with Lingling and Guiyang counties.

This time, more than half of the troops led by Huang Gai had been lost due to sadness.The sad situation in Guiyang County was better, and the troops led by Zhu Zhi and Sun Ce lost one-third.

Even if the army is like this, let alone the people in Lingling County and Guiyang County, it is simply unimaginable.

"Fortunately, this time it didn't spread to other counties on a large scale, and the sadness was controlled in Lingling County and Guiyang County, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Sun Jian never imagined that just after taking Jingzhou, God made such a big joke on him.

Now there are no bandits to suppress the counties, except for Cheng Pu, the other generals have been sent to the counties to garrison, and the troops have also been dispersed.

At this time, besides Sun Jian, there were Cheng Pu, Zhao Xu, Pang Ji, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others who were in the main hall of Sun Jian's mansion.

Among civil servants, Sun Jian trusted Zhao Xu the most, followed by Pang Ji, and then Kuai Yue.

Although last time Kuai Yue tricked Sun Jian into defeating Hua Xiong, and captured Hua Xiong, Hou Cheng and others alive.

"Haven't you found the master and apprentice whose surname is Zhang?" Sun Jian asked, of course, referring to Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing's master and apprentice.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "My lord, these two people appeared in Changsha County not long ago, but they disappeared without a trace and have not been whereabouts so far. Some people say that they entered Guiyang County, and some people say that they have left. Jingzhou."

"As for the sadness right now, I just heard that these two people may have a solution. However, fortunately, this time the sadness only appeared on a large scale in Lingling County and Guiyang County, and it is fortunate that it did not spread to other counties."

Sun Jian sighed. Originally, Lingling County and Guiyang County were already in his pocket. Even if he got two counties now, they would still be half-wasted.

Regarding the sadness, Sun Jianye could only do his best while ensuring that other counties in Jingzhou would not be affected.

Looking at Cheng Pu and Pang Ji, he asked, "How are Hua Xiong and Hou Cheng doing now, are they willing to surrender?"

Sun Jian thought that Hua Xiong and Hou Cheng were good, and wanted to bring them under his command, but they should be quite stubborn.

Cheng Pu said: "These two are still unwilling to surrender, I'm afraid it will take some time."

Cheng Puye admired Hua Xiong and Hou Cheng's integrity, he would not care if they were weak.

"My lord, please give us some more time." Pang Ji took this matter as an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

The two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang on the side felt a little cold and didn't say a word.
