In Hanzhong County, there is a village fifteen miles outside Nanzheng City.
Village name: Liujiazhuang.
While the city of Nanzheng was in turmoil due to the assassination of Yuan Ke, a pigeon flew into a small farmyard.
A skilled farmer fetched a letter from the pigeon's lap.
He strode into a cabin.
As soon as he entered the house, a young man in white was reading a book with the lamp on.
"Pavilion Master, there is a letter from Nanzheng City."
The farmer raised his hand and said.
"what's the situation?"
the young man in white asked.
"Pavilion Master, Liu Fu's assassination attempt failed. All the assassins died. Although they were unsuccessful, Yuan Ke was also injured."
"Liu Yi was also arrested."
"Do you think we should send someone to kill Liu Yi?"
said the farmer.
"It seems that my cousin is really lucky."
"With his temperament, he should send people to take revenge on the Five Dou Rice Cult on a large scale at this time, right?"
"That's fine!"
"He is going on a killing spree. If we continue to secretly add fuel to the flames, Hanzhong will be in chaos."
"Yuan Ke never wants to securely occupy Hanzhong."
"I can't let him gain a foothold in Hanzhong or even knock down Yizhou."
When the young man in white heard this, he couldn't help but speak softly.
He is none other than Yuan Hong, the leader of the [Yewu Organization] whom Yuan Ke sent people to find.
While Jin Yiwei was searching for him everywhere, he chose to break into Hanzhong County and come under Yuan Ke's eyes. This move was extremely dangerous and extremely clever.
As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Even if Yuan Ke broke his head, he would not have thought that Yuan Hong was not at Yuan Shu's place, but came to Hanzhong County instead.
"Pavilion Master, it was also mentioned in the letter just now that Yuan Kechu did, as you said, order the massacre of the followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, but later he took back the order."
This farmer is Chen Chong, the protector Zuo in the [Yewu Organization].
He is responsible for accompanying and protecting Yuan Hong's safety.
"What? He took back his life? How could this happen? Chen Chong, immediately send someone to find out the reason."
"This pavilion master just wants to see who dissuaded Yuan Ke?"
Yuan Hong said.
"yes!"
Chen Chong said.
"Pavilion Master, if our current plan fails, I'm afraid that it will attract the pursuit of the Jinyi Guards. Why don't we retreat first?"
"Hanzhong is not safe."
He persuaded.
"No, we will rest here for now."
"Don't worry, no one will find us for the time being."
"This place is safe."
Yuan Hong shook his head.
He knew it was hard to move around now.
If they move, they may be discovered by those annoying Jin Yiwei.
"You made all our people lurk."
"Don't mess around!"
"We are looking for new opportunities to assassinate Yuan Ke."
"If Yuan Ke is not eliminated, we, Ye Wu, will never be able to get ahead."
"I asked you to search for Lu Bu's whereabouts earlier. Do you have any news?"
Yuan Hong asked.
"Pavilion Master, we sent many people to look for traces of Lu Bu in Chang'an. We finally made some progress a few days ago. It seems that Lu Bu was imprisoned in the original Dong Zhuo's mansion, but the specific location has not been found yet."
Chen Chong said.
"What a cunning Yuan Ke. This move was so sneaky that no one would have thought that he would imprison Lu Bu in Dong Zhuo's mansion. This move is really brilliant."
Yuan Hong couldn't help but praise him.
"Pass my order and gather men immediately to rescue Lu Bu."
"We're going to muddy the waters."
"Only when the water is muddy can we have a chance to fish in troubled waters."
He immediately ordered.
"yes!"
Chen Chong took the order.
"My subordinates will immediately deploy a rescue operation!"
.......
In the prefect's mansion, Cao Xiong tortured Liu Yigang as soon as he was brought back.
Faced with a series of tortures, Liu Yi finally succumbed.
He also told the cause and effect of the incident.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Cao Xiong immediately brought the confession letter to meet Yuan Ke.
"My lord, this is Liu Yi's confession. He has admitted it. It was he who sent Liu Fu's thieves to the prefect's mansion."
"..."
Yuan Ke took the offering book and after reading it, he immediately threw it on the ground.
Afterwards, he shouted loudly and reprimanded.
"There are too many holes in this confession."
"Cao Xiong, continue to investigate this case."
"It's impossible for a Liu Yi to make this matter so flawless. There must be some of their accomplices in the Prefect's Mansion and Nanzheng City."
"I have a bold speculation. In this assassination, the Five Dou Rice Sect was just a knife in someone else's hand. Someone wanted to borrow their hand to kill me."
"It is impossible for the Five Dou Rice Cult to devise such a thorough plan."
"You report this matter to Yu Huatian and ask him to immediately coordinate the Jin Yiwei from all parties. Be sure to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
As soon as he said these words, Yuan Ke asked Cao Xiong to retreat.
"promise!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xiong fell to the ground and picked up the offering book.
Afterwards, retire.
After Cao Xiong left, Yuan Ke continued to lie down.
Xu Miaoyun also waved away the maids waiting in the room.
She personally served Yuan Ke.
"Husband, it's time to rest."
"good!"
Another half month passed, and Yuan Ke's injury gradually healed.
On this day, he was practicing in the backyard of the prefect's mansion. Not long after, Cheng Yaojin hurried in.
"My lord, thirty thousand soldiers and horses have been assembled."
"The army can move out at any time!"
"Okay, half an hour later, our army will set off and enter Jianmen Pass. It is also time to end the battle against Shu."
Yuan Ke said.
Two days ago, he received a military report from Luo Shixin. They had captured Fucheng and were now resting and recuperating in Fucheng. They would invade [Jiangyou Pass] just after the rest and recuperation was completed. Luo Shixin asked for a frontal battlefield to attract the Yizhou Army. Attention, create favorable conditions for them to invade Chengdu.
For this reason, Yuan Ke just gathered his troops and went to the front line in person. He knew that the time had come to defeat the Yizhou Army.
A month of recuperation has also brought about earth-shaking changes in Yuan Ke's army. Now, not only are the soldiers and horses under his command numerous and powerful, but their money and food are also extremely rich, which can support Yuan Ke in pacifying Yizhou.
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin went to deliver the order.
During this southern expedition, Xu Miaoyun also entered Jianmen Pass with the army.
When Yuan Ke was about to leave the Prefect's Mansion, a person he would never have expected came.
"Slave Yuhuatian pays homage to the Lord!"
The person who came was none other than Commander Yu Huatian of Jin Yiwei.
During this period, he used the one million taels of silver given by Yuan Ke to frantically expand the power of Jin Yiwei. Now, he has established three Jin Yiwei training camps to train troops for Jin Yiwei.
"Yuhuatian?"
"What are you doing in Hanzhong?"
"Is something wrong?"
Yuan Ke had not summoned Yu Huatian, and he was also confused about this person's appearance.
"Lord, our people just discovered Yuan Hong's fate."
Yuhuatian said.
"What? Found Yuan Hong? Where are they?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Lord, our detailed investigation found that Yuan Hong is hiding in a village in Hanzhong County. For this reason, I personally led a team here to catch Yuan Hong and eradicate him."
Yuhuatian raised his hand and said.
"good!"
"You will personally take charge of this matter. This Yuan Hong must be killed."
"Cao Xiong will also cooperate with you."
"Remember, Yuan Hong is my number one enemy. You must uproot the [Yewu Organization] and not let him do whatever he wants."
Yuan Ke reminded the other party.
Before this, he really had not heard that Yuan Hong was hiding under his nose. Now that this information was confirmed, he naturally could not let Yuan Hong go.
Unless this son is eliminated, it will be difficult for the Yuan family in Runan to flourish.
"Understand?"
he asks.
"promise!"
This is what Yuhuatian wants.
After that, he deployed vigorously.
As for Yuan Ke, he took Xu Miaoyun to the camp, preparing to leave Nanzheng City and go to Jianmen Pass to help Di Qing and defeat the Yizhou Army.
Capture Zhang Ren alive and march into Chengdu.
