Zhang Zi left the front hall and entered the inner chamber.
suddenly.
A voice sounded from the corridor:
"Zi Yi, you are back."
It's Yuan Shu.
Zhang Zi hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: "It's a highway, why are you here?"
Yuan Shu glanced in the direction of the palace and asked tentatively: "Send him off?"
Zhang Zi nodded: "Well, it can be considered as sending him off."
Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved: "I heard that things are in chaos?"
"Eh~~"
Zhang Zi quickly interrupted and corrected Yuan Shu: "Gao, although this matter is a mess, it has nothing to do with Zhang. It is Niu Fu who is stupid and he cannot blame Zhang."
"Li Ru?"
Yuan Shu asked tentatively.
When he learned that Li Ru had come to Nanyang, he was also quite shocked.
But after the incident passed, I heard Zhang Zi talk about it again, and Li Ru actually left without saying goodbye.
Therefore, Yuan Shu was even more suspicious of this think tank who came and left in a hurry.
"Um."
Zhang Zi nodded, then frowned: "But to be precise, it shouldn't be Li Ru."
Yuan Shu was slightly startled: "Why is it not Li Ru again? Ziyi, are you deceiving me?"
"How dare you! That Li Ru is fake."
"Fake?"
Yuan Shu was shocked and shocked: "This...how is this possible? Who is so bold as to pretend to be Li Ru in front of Niu Fu and not be discovered by him?"
"Of course it is His Royal Highness King Hongnong."
"If not..."
In fact, Zhang Zi himself was not sure: "It is the person sent by King Hongnong, but in the final analysis, this person must be someone close to King Hongnong, otherwise he would not dare to risk his life to come here."
Hiss~~~
Yuan Shu was dumbfounded and said nothing for a long time: "Zi Yi, listen to what you want...could it be that King Hongnong was not only unharmed, but even played tricks on Niu Fu and rescued the He family members?"
Zhang Zi nodded without hesitation: "Otherwise, why would Niu Fu be so angry?"
Yuan Shu was stunned, and was stunned in place like thunder and lightning.
He couldn't believe it.
What he thought was a certain death was easily defeated by King Hongnong.
The challenge to Dong is imminent. If King Hongnong does not die, how can the Nanyang gentry support him?
More importantly, King Hongnong took back the He family from Niu Fu and once again proved his strength to the Nanyang nobles.
Once the crusade against Dong arose, what could you do to compete with King Hongnong?
Face?
Although, I used to brush my face everywhere I went, and the results were very good.
But this time it was different. Compared with King Hongnong, the Yuan family's face was far different.
Continuing to stay in Nanyang is just a waste of time.
Rather than doing this, it is better to go back to Runan and ask for help from the tribesmen as stated in the uncle's letter.
In this way, we can get an army of soldiers and horses in a short period of time.
"Highway~~"
"Highway~~~"
Seeing Yuan Shu stunned, Zhang Zi hurriedly waved his hand: "What's wrong with you?"
Yuan Shu smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it's okay."
*****
Early next morning.
The rooster crows the dawn and the morning glow fills the sky.
Xiaoyao Village.
Looking at the departing figures of Deng Zhan and He Yun, Liu Bian finally felt relieved.
With a thought in his mind, he communicated with the Military Advisor Alliance: "Teacher, now that I am trapped in Xiaoyaozhuang and dare not go out, will it waste a lot of time? Is the Deng family alone enough?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors replied: "Master Bian, even if you can go out now, I'm afraid there won't be much you can do. After all, there are only three or four days left before the end of the year. Within half a month, the crusade against Dong will definitely hit Nanyang."
"Then it's time for the Nanyang nobles to choose their side. Yuan Shu is just a fourth-generation prince, far less noble than Bian Ye. As long as the Nanyang nobles are not blind, they will definitely choose you."
"This problem was thrown to you by Deng Xun at the beginning. Now you send Deng Zhan and He Yun to the Deng family in Xinye to revive them. The old man will naturally understand what you mean. As long as the Deng family supports you, at least half of the Nanyang nobles will choose to follow you.
"
"As for the remaining half..."
The Alliance of Military Advisors paused for a moment and said softly: "Experts say that after you completely take control of Nanyang, you will kill those who deserve to be killed and destroy those that deserve to be destroyed. You are young. If you don't do something cruel and scare the monkeys, you will not be able to suppress this group of nobles.
.”
"That makes sense."
Unexpected.
Liu Bian was not shocked by the words of the Military Advisor Alliance, but felt that they made sense.
He had to admit that his thinking mode had changed, and he was no longer the ignorant boy who had just traveled through time.
This fact makes the Military Advisor Alliance quite pleased.
It proves that their efforts during this period were not in vain.
Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then asked: "What about Yuan Shu? If he can't compete with me, will he disappear from the scene and be completely submerged in the torrent of history?"
"Probably not?"
The Military Advisor Alliance replied: "Yuan Shu is also the second son of the Yuan family. Even if he is not smart, the Yuan family will find ways to help him. According to the predictions of the Military Advisor Alliance, his best choice is to return to Runan. After all, Runan
Yang is the hometown of the Yuan family, and they have a wide network of people."
"Although half a month is a bit short, with the power of the Yuan family, there should be no problem in helping Yuan Shu raise a team. However, there is no reckless Sun Laohu in Runan, so it will be difficult for him to obtain the position of the governor of Runan."
Runan?
Liu Bian nodded with interest.
In a sense, Runan was actually Yuan Shu's first choice.
After all, the foundation of the Yuan family is here, and any move of the fingers can help Yuan Shuhua draw out some capital.
As for why he chose to start from Nanyang in the first place, even the Military Advisor Alliance is not clear about it.
"Your Highness~~"
"Your Highness~~"
Just when Liu Bian was deep in thought.
suddenly.
A voice sounded from behind.
Liu Bian turned around and saw that the person who came was none other than He Xian: "Cousin, why are you here?"
He Xian bowed his head and said softly: "The tribesmen who came back from outside said that Zhang Zi sent a lot of people to look for us all over the mountains and plains. Even Xiliang Xiaoqi was dispatched. There were soldiers and horses searching at all the major gates of the Chu Great Wall.
trace."
"oh?"
Although Liu Bian had expected it, he was still amazed at the other party's reaction: "So fast?"
He Xian nodded: "Well, they are indeed very fast, and their search is very intense. If they search like this, I'm afraid Xiaoyao Village will be exposed sooner or later."
Liu Bian asked tentatively: "How long will it take?"
He Xian frowned and shook his head: "I dare not make any assumptions, but please make preparations in advance."
Liu Bian raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Don't worry, Gu will not harm you."
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, He didn't mean that."
"That's..."
"Taoist Master Shi is right. We are a family, and we should share the joys and sorrows together! Your Highness can risk his life to save my family, but how can I ignore His Highness?"
Liu Bian smiled lightly: "But you have to know that there is no way back here."
He Xian bowed solemnly: "The He family has already died once, so why should we fear that we will never return? From now on, everyone in the He family is willing to obey His Highness's orders, even if they risk their lives."
Liu Bian quickly helped He Xian up: "I will never forget this kindness."
He Xian raised his head and said: "Your Highness, I have temporarily given my clansmen to Commander-in-Chief Zhang Sima to prepare for any eventuality and let him train them."
