Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 163 Strategies in the Midnight

  Yuan Shu sent his servants to find Yang Hong and Yan Xiang. Although it was already night, the Lord had something to do after all, so the two arrived quickly.

Yuan Shu showed the letter brought by Yiji to Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, and he ordered his servants to make some hot tea to drink, and asked the servants to put more ginger. After all, the night was very cold, and he didn't want the two of them to drink. The counselor is sick, which is not very good at this juncture.

  Yang Hong finished reading the letter and handed it to Yan Xiang. He put his hands together and tapped the back of his right hand lightly with the fingers of his left hand, thoughtfully.

  Yuan Shu saw it and did not urge him. He knew that this was a habit of Yang Hong. Anyway, Yan Xiang was still watching it. It would be better to discuss it together later.

   After a while, Yan Xiang also finished reading the letter, and returned the letter to Yuan Shu.

Yang Hong looked at Yan Xiang, and Yan Xiang slightly arched his hands to Yang Hong, motioning for Yang Hong to speak first, so Yang Hong didn't shirk, and said, "Minggong, this is Liu Jingzhou who wants to escape from the golden cicada's shell. The land, the clan thieves have not yet been settled, Jiangxia has not been stabilized, and in addition, the four counties in Jingnan are mostly powerful officials, and they are afraid that they will not be used by Liu Jingzhou.

Yan Xiang went on to say: "Wan Zhongye is currently stationed in Wan County, and there are plenty of soldiers and food, so it should not be taken lightly. If you can take advantage of this to increase another place, it is a good idea. Liu Jingzhou is a man who sees wolves as eagles. , if the four counties in Nanding store more money and food, there will be troubles in the future."

  Yuan Shu nodded, he also agreed with this aspect, and felt that what Yan Xiang said made sense.

Yan Xiang said that it was also a consideration for the future. After all, Liu Biao gave up Wancheng. Although it was an additional piece of land for Yuan Shu, for Liu Biao, it would be free to take Changsha, Lingling, Although the four counties of Guiyang and Wuling lost a piece of land on the Nanyang side, they will get more benefits from the southern side of Jingzhou. This account is quite accurate.

  Besides, Liu Biao had always wanted to reach out to the land in Nanyang County, but he just couldn’t get in. Last time he was going to send troops to support Zhang Zi, but Sun Jian defeated him and killed Zhang Zilai out of the city. Therefore, for Liu Biao, even though Wenpin was sent to garrison, he could only control as far as Wan, and most of the northern area still belonged to Yuan Shu.

   While the three of Yuan Shu were thinking, the servants served the boiled tea soup.

  Yuan Shu took the tea soup, took a sip, frowned, felt that the smell of **** juice was too strong, and it was a bit pungent, so he ordered his servants to fetch some honey to add to the taste.

  The night is deep, and under the darkness, the cold wind is fierce, making it even more gloomy.

  The three of them took hot tea soup and drank it in small sips, only then did they feel that the temperature of their hands and feet had risen a bit, and their bones were not as stiff as before.

After Yang Hong finished drinking the tea soup, he put down the tea bowl gently, and then saw that Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang had also finished drinking, Fang said: "Wan County is definitely to be won, but don't make Liu Jingzhou weaker than Jingnan. I have a plan , so that Duke Ming can reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

  Yuan Shu said: "The plan will be released?"

"Sun Polu was originally the prefect of Changsha, and most of the seals and ribbons still exist. Sun Polu can recommend people from his hometown to serve as the prefect of Changsha. First, the battle against Dong is imminent, so Sun Polu's heart can be appeased; second, Liu Jingzhou can be extended. The speed of going south has exhausted its army; after the Heluo incident, we can move our troops south and attack from north to south, and we will definitely break it and put the watch at our fingertips!"|

  Yuan Shu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Good! I'll write to Polu immediately!"

  Yan Xiang added: "...General Ji can also lead his troops to Nantun to collect Wan County, and in the name of discussing Dong, ask for scarves, silk, food and grass..."

Yang Hong reacted in an instant, and said: "What Ziwu said is true! If he agrees with him, his military equipment will be reduced and his military strength will be weakened. If he does not agree with him, his troops will force Xiangyang, and he will not send troops if he is attracted. It’s possible.”

   After finishing speaking, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang looked at each other and smiled, with a sense of pity for pointing out the country.

  Yuan Shu clapped his palms and laughed, and said repeatedly: "Miaozai! Miaozai!" Immediately felt that Liu Biao, who had always been an eyesore in the south, was about to fall into trouble.

I just talked about Ji Ling, and Yan Xiang remembered one thing, that is, a few days ago, he asked Ji Ling to lead the army to Kunyang to "find" the criminal evidence of the little local tyrant Luo's family, and now he has "found" definite evidence, so the Luo family The head of the family, Luo Sen, went down from him, and the whole family was arrested without a fight, and they were temporarily detained in the military camp outside Luyang City.

  In addition to this, there is also the collection of property, food and grass that the little local tyrant Rosen kept in the dock, etc...

  It turned out that Yan Xiang planned to report it tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to summon him at night, so he brought the official document of this matter with him. At this time, he took it out and presented it to Yuan Shu for his decision.

Yuan Shu took it, glanced at it briefly, and said indifferently: "Luo Sen has an affair with a traitor, and he abandoned the market according to the law. His men are Ding Zhu, but women have no money. What about his wealth... Order Fu Yi to take half of it to supplement military funds , and the rest will be filled in the government." A few words and a few words decided the life and death of the little local tyrant Luo Sen's family.

  In Yuan Shu's concept, Lawson is like an ant, if he kills it, he will be killed, there is nothing to say.

   "Wei!" Although Yan Xiang felt a little unbearable in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, there was nothing he could do, so he agreed and took the official document back.

   Compared with Luo Sen from the Luo family, Yuan Shu is more interested in Fei Qian from the He Luofei family. Yuan Shu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said, "...He Luofei is going to dive into Fei Ziyuan, the official ambassador this time, what do you guys think?"

   Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan?

  Yang Hong and Yan Xiang looked at each other.

  Now Yuan Shu's main counselors are Yang Hong, who is the chief historian, and Yan Xiang, who is the chief bookkeeper, but both of them have some subtle ideas about Yuan Shu's intention to recruit Fei Qian.

  For Yang Hong, the arrival of a Fei Qian may not be a good thing.

Yang Hong is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and he had many contacts with Yuan Shu when he was in Luoyang. After Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, he followed him, so he was the number one counselor in Yuan Shu's mansion, but now Fei Qian from Heluo, although the family background of the Fei family is not as good as Hongnong's Yang family, after all, Fei Qian has just married the Jingxiang Huang family, and if Yuan Shu wants to attack Jingxiang and recruit Feiqian, he will naturally It is tantamount to gaining the support of Jingxiang Huang's family. What's more, the Jingxiang gentry are involved, pulling one of the Huang family, maybe a bunch of them will follow...

Yuan Shu recruited Fei Qian, and he must also open the door to the Jingxiang gentry, but in this way, Yang Hong, who is far away from his homeland, may appear to be a little weak, so how long his long history can remain in office depends on how long he is. It's hard to say...

Some time ago, I saw a stalk, saying that the leader took a group of people to eat, and the food and wine were served first. After drinking, I asked the boss what was good, and the boss said that today’s noodles are special. Yes, it is five-color vegetable noodles, which are very chewy, and the dumplings are also good. The leader asked everyone if they want noodles or dumplings. The first one said noodles, and the leader asked the second one, and the second said noodles too. If you are the third person now, the leader will immediately turn to ask You, do you want to eat noodles or dumplings? Why?
