Qi Zhen was in an inconspicuous corner outside Yang Hong's Chang Shi Mansion, watching him hurriedly get into his car and drive towards the Sheriff's Mansion in a hurry.
Regardless of whether Yuan Shu really believed that Yan Xiang was intentionally introducing foreign enemies to plot against Nanyang, Qi Zhen was able to sow discord between Yan Xiang and Yang Hong.
But on the other hand, no matter what kind of problems arise between Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, or how Yuan Shu wants to deal with Yan Xiang, he who once appeared in Yan Xiang's mansion will definitely be punished by the government soon. Wanted and hunted.
The information he revealed to Yan Xiang will definitely prompt Yuan Shu to make some arrangements. Of course, the premise of this matter is that Yan Xiang tells Yuan Shu everything about this information. As for whether he will because of The close relationship with Cai Xi, and she chooses to have reservations, or to recognize the situation and simply use her strength to do something, that is not something Qi Zhen can judge.
But for Qi Zhen, these are not issues that Qi Zhen needs to worry about, but things that the civil and military forces in Nanyang City need to think about.
In a pool of stagnant water, Qi Zhen would have no chance. Only by muddying the water and making Nanyang City lively could Qi Zhen fish in troubled waters or even take advantage of the fire.
The chief clerk and the chief historian are the most core counselor positions under a chief official in the Three Kingdoms. This position itself represents the chief official's trust. How could Qi Zhen dare to point at them?
Qi Zhen estimated that it would take some time for the two people to really quarrel in Yuan Shu's mansion and go to the governor's mansion to start arresting her or dispatching troops. Then she would have to take the next step without stopping.
If what was written on the silk cloth that Yan Xiang gave him was true, then the two generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui should be the two people he could win over.
It's not that Qi Zhen must care about whether they can be won over, but whether they are generals who can be instigated or not, Qi Zhen must go through this.
Because one of those two people is now the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Infantry Army, and the other is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Infantry Army.
To put it bluntly, the mobilization and command of the less than 10,000 soldiers in Nanyang City are all in the hands of these two people.
As a general, Ji Ling can naturally command the soldiers in Nanyang City at any time if he wants. That is Yuan Shu's question. Let Ji Ling supervise these thousands of soldiers. It is really a bit unfair, like letting a military commander. No matter how you look at it, running a battalion is a bit nondescript.
Qi Zhen didn't know where those two people were, but with the Sharingan, it must not be difficult to find those two people.
…
"Asshole!"
With a snap, Yuan Shu's hand hit the case heavily.
"Is it because I'm not good to them? They actually unite against me!?" Yuan Shu's wretched face was full of rage.
Yan Xiang was standing in the hall, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.
"It seems that the messenger sent this time will still end up with no return. My lord, I'd better make preparations early." Yan Xiang sighed and said.
"Preparations? What preparations? Are you ready to give up Nanyang?" Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Xiang and said angrily.
"I have long said that my lord should ask for help from Jizhou, otherwise how could we end up in this situation. For the current plan, I think it is difficult to ask for help from outside. Even if it is true,
We are asking for help, but I am afraid that Jizhou will not be able to reach us due to its high mountains and long distances, not to mention that the other side will send troops to attack within three days..." Yan Xiang said.
Yuan Shu interrupted his analysis with an impatient look: "It's all my problem, right? But who knew they would suddenly join forces in such a short period of time? Just tell me the method, don't bother me. .”
"In my opinion, the only solution for now is to let General Ji Ling contact those fierce generals in the army so that Nanyang can escape this disaster. After all, General Ji Ling has great prestige in the army of Nanyang County, and he has deep roots in the army. There are countless generals in the direct line. I think those soldiers were actually deceived and deceived by traitors. I believe that as long as General Ji Ling can raise his arms and shout, those generals may defect on the battlefield. As long as the opponent's internal chaos breaks out, my lord Of course there is a chance." Yan Xiang analyzed slowly.
"Well... what you said is not unreasonable, but if you send General Ji Ling alone to a subordinate military town, I am afraid that he will be attacked and sneak attacked by bad guys... The other party will not think of this." Yuan Shu frowned He said with a frown.
"Lord..."
"Report!"
Just as Yan Xiang was about to speak, he heard soldiers shouting loudly outside the hall.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shu asked with a frown.
A soldier knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Report to the lord, Chief Shi Yang Hong said that he has urgent matters to see."
"Oh, let him come in." Yuan Shu nodded and said.
"yes!"
Yan Xiang thought for a moment, then slowly said: "My lord, Yang Hong has repeatedly persuaded my lord to send messengers to the lower county to inquire, which is why the other party's power has grown to such an extent that it has even reached an irreversible situation. This point My lord, you must investigate."
"Oh, I understand." Yuan Shu didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.
Yang Hong walked into the hall, clasped his fists and raised his hands to Yuan Shu, saying: "Chang Shi Yang Hong, pay homage to the lord."
"Yang Hong, why are you here?" Yuan Shu asked.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hong glanced at Yan Xiang next to him, and then suddenly flicked his spacious sleeves - Wow!
"Hmph! My lord, I don't even bother to stand in the same room as a villain seeking glory from a seller. I'd better ask my lord to take this person down first, and I will explain the reason." Yang Hong's face was full of uncontrollable anger, almost to the point of stern expression. degree.
Not to mention Yuan Shu, even Yan Xiang was confused at the moment and didn't understand why Yang Hong was so angry.
"It's not too late for you to tell me carefully what happened." Yuan Shu frowned and glanced at Yan Xiang in confusion, then his eyes returned to Yang Hong.
Yang Hong took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms, put it directly in front of Yuan Shu, and said angrily: "Someone gave this to the enemy, our civil and military camp in Nanyang City, which of them are the Lord's supporters? Which are the loyal ministers who are devoted to the Han Dynasty, and which are the vacillating ministers who are waiting for the opportunity? It is clearly written on it, and my name, Yang Hong, is also among them."
Yan Xiang's expression suddenly changed the moment Yang Hong took out the silk cloth. He knew that he had made a very fatal mistake.
He actually left evidence enough to put him to death in the hands of that young man. And because he didn't know how much Qi Zhen knew about Nanyang, and in order to gain Qi Zhen's trust, what was written on this silk was very Cheng Shi is extremely true information,
He didn't add any sand!
Yuan Shu looked at the silk cloth in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xiang whose expression changed greatly, and then said to Yang Hong: "How can you prove that this thing was written by Yan Xiang and that it was given to the enemy?"
"First of all, almost all the civil and military personnel in Nanyang City have been wiped out. Only one person has been excluded. This person is Mr. Yan himself. Secondly, handwriting is difficult to forge. It would be better if the lord asked him to write it. Naturally, the information is very clear. As for whether this information is for the enemy, the official is really not sure, but is this kind of thing written by Master Yan himself for fun? Or does he want to show it to his own people? Then I have to ask Mr. Yan, which camp of these three do you belong to? And which of your own people do you want to show?" Yang Hong said lightly.
This reason is very good, very powerful, and difficult to deal with, so when Yuan Shu focused his attention on Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Snapped!
The piece of silk cloth was slapped heavily on the bank. Yuan Shu pointed at Yan Xiang and said angrily: "What on earth is going on? Tell me!"
Yan Xiang's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said in a panic: "My lord, this morning..."
"...That's it. In order to stabilize the other party and not to make the latter suspicious, I gave this thing to him, but I didn't expect that he would actually give this thing to Yang Hong." Yan Xiang used a lot of It took a quarter of an hour to explain the whole story clearly.
"So that's it. Is this why you came to see me today?" Yuan Shu said.
"Exactly! Sir, that person actually handed this thing to Yang Hong. That means he has a close relationship with Yang Hong. Otherwise, how could he rest assured that Yang Hong would falsely accuse me? There must be something ulterior between them. The secret must be investigated, my lord!" Yan Xiang said with a tearful voice.
"You old man Yan, you, a seller seeking glory, actually falsely accuse me? Do you want shame or not?" Yang Hong said angrily.
"Perhaps that person conspired with you to frame me. You are always thinking darkly and are a complete villain. Who knows what you will do?!" Yan Xiang said scornfully.
"Okay, shut up!" Yuan Shu shouted loudly.
Both of them remained silent.
"Look at what you look like!" Yuan Shu sighed, and then said, "The plan for now is to solve the difficulties in Nanyang, not to let you fight among yourself. Yang Hong, since you are already here, you might as well talk about the next step. What should I do if I get down?"
"If you want to defend against foreign enemies, it is better to clear your side first." Yang Hong said.
"How do you say this?" Yuan Shu asked doubtfully.
"I think that it is precisely because there are people in the city who are turning towards the foreign enemy that the lord's government orders are not smooth. What's more, it affects the lord's judgment on the whole matter, which makes the matter reach this point. Therefore, no matter what, I choose to defend the enemy from the outside. , all internal problems must be resolved first. It is better to follow what is written on Lord Yan's silk cloth and temporarily seize those ministers who are not of the same mind as the lord and send them to the palace, and wait for the Nanyang matter to be completed. I wonder what the lord's will is if we release them again?" Yang Hong said.
"What you said makes sense." Yuan Shu nodded.
"It's just that this probably includes your chief secretary, Mr. Yan." Yang Hong added in a nonchalant manner.
