Zhao Xun returned to the camp with a gloomy look on his face, and asked Li Luobei to relax the camp's intense preparations for war, and let the soldiers return to the camp to rest in addition to placing extra sentinels.
"Brother, are you okay?" Zhao Ning, Zhao Jie and Zhao Hai asked anxiously when they saw Zhao Xun's body covered in blood and a broken arrow stuck in his shoulder.
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I'll ask Doctor Hu to come over and help the brothers bandage their wounds. You guys will follow me later and we'll take a look."
Doctor Hu, who was specially brought from Crouching Tiger Mountain, pulled out the tip of the arrow for Zhao Xun. After briefly bandaging it, Zhao Xun changed his clothes and gathered everyone to discuss the assassination.
"Sir, I think it must be Sima Yun who did it. Today you offended him so hard that he couldn't get off the stage, so he sent someone to assassinate you!" Duan Yan shouted loudly.
Tang Niu, He Fang and others also nodded, while Situ Liang, Li Lingfeng, Zhao Fei and Zhao Hai bowed their heads in silence.
"Situ Liang, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell them so that everyone can refer to them!"
Seeing this, Situ Liang knew that Zhao Xun had asked him to show his face in front of everyone in order to establish his prestige.
Situ Liang stood up straight and said: "I don't think it was Sima Yun. Now everyone knows that I faced him today, but I was assassinated in the evening. Regardless of success or not, I can't get rid of him. One month.
Before, the military commander was assassinated. Although we all knew that it was Sima Yun who did it, others did not know. If he was also assassinated, everyone's attention would inevitably be focused on him.
On him. Besides, even if he wants to be detrimental to the Lord, he should not choose tonight. After all, it is too close to what happened during the day. If he succeeds, it is easy to say. If he fails, with the character shown by the Lord, he will not die with him.
Knock. Sima Yun assassinated Su Yun last time and wanted to mobilize more troops. You can see that he must be planning something big and he will never be willing to fight with the adults just for the sake of face."
"Then who do you think wants to assassinate Sir?" Tang Niu and others also felt that what Situ Liang said was reasonable.
Situ Liang smiled and said: "Many people are possible, such as the family members of the two dudes we arrested today, such as Sima Qi, some people who want to please Sima Yun, and maybe even Su Yun!"
"What? No way!" Tang Niu and Duan Yan said, shaking their heads in disbelief.
"No, Mr. Su is not that kind of person! Don't talk nonsense." After hearing this, Li Ruolan said repeatedly.
"Lan'er! Don't interrupt!" Li Luobei scolded. He had already seen Zhao Xun frown slightly, and knew that Li Ruolan's random interruption had made him unhappy.
"I'm telling the truth..." Seeing Zhao Xun's face looking a little ugly, Li Ruolan's voice gradually became quieter.
Situ Liang knew that Li Ruolan and Zhao Xun were very close, so he didn't care. He explained: "We are very close to Mr. Su now, but we are not his people, or in other words, not his direct descendants. Su
When the master has no help, we can be his support, but he is now the master of Yanzhou's military envoy, and is no longer the person who was in trouble. In other words, we have now become a *
* Under his jurisdiction, but there are forces following behind him. Such a powerful force that keeps giving orders is far inferior to a weak and obedient slave. Except for the adults, we have no one here to rely on. Through him and us
Maybe they can take us under their wing, so why not? Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves and cannot place all our hopes on the help and charity of others."
After listening to Situ Liang's explanation, everyone agreed and put away their closeness and reliance on Su Yun.
Zhao Xun suddenly smiled and said: "Situ Liang, good job! Your analysis is very reasonable. Everyone has heard clearly. In Yanzhou, the only people we believe in and can rely on are ourselves and our brothers.
In the future, if you have nothing to do, please don’t go to remote places easily. Even if you stay away, you should take them with you.
We have enough manpower. By the way, I am going to build a Wubao in the west Bali area. Situ Liang, you will be responsible for this. Tomorrow you will work with the steward of the Su family to buy fields, recruit workers, and start taking action. As for the original
Tenants who rent land should still rent it to them as usual, and the rent can be reduced or reduced."
Situ Liang knew what he had just said, which made Zhao Xun speed up his actions. However, this was also what Situ Liang wanted to see. Only by becoming self-reliant could he have greater autonomy.
"However, we don't have that much money. Although we brought a lot when we came here, we can't withstand the consumption if we eat horse chews."
Zhao Xun smiled strangely and said, "It doesn't matter. There are many places where you can get money in Yanzhou Prefecture."
Seeing what Zhao Xun said, Situ Liang no longer hesitated and said: "Well, I will take people to deal with it tomorrow. How big of a castle do you need to build? What are the conditions?"
"The side length is about four hundred meters. As long as it is built within half a year, the size is up to you. The water source must be sufficient, and the river there must be enclosed into the fort. Remember, money is not an issue, the issue is time. At the same time,
You also need to store food and grass so that you don't have to worry about food problems in the future."
"Okay, as long as you have money, there are many coolies in Yanzhou City who have no source of livelihood. Moreover, the stones nearby are easy to obtain, which is very convenient. I will definitely complete it as soon as possible."
"What? Zhao Xun was assassinated?" Sima Yun was shocked after receiving the news.
"Great, this guy also has such an end!" Sima Qi, who was supported by two maids and walked into Sima Yun's study, shouted happily: "How is it? Is that Zhao Xun dead?"
"Shut up! Get out! Your leg injury has not healed yet. Why are you running out? Why don't you go and rest!" Sima Yun frowned and scolded angrily.
Sima Qi blushed and walked out with the help of the two girls.
"Mr. Yuwen, who do you think did it?" Sima Yun asked the middle-aged man in front of him. Yu Wenzhen was the strategist behind Sima Yun. Many of Sima Yun's private affairs were planned by Yu Wenzhen, who was deeply loved by Sima Yun.
trust.
Yu Wenzhen chuckled and said: "It's hard to say, but no matter who did it, it is extremely detrimental to you!"
"Yes! Originally, everyone's attention was attracted by Su Yun and Zhao Xun, the stupid young man. Unexpectedly, when he was assassinated, everyone's attention turned to me. This is extremely detrimental to our plan.
.”
"Then our response measure is to stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation. The more unusual you behave, the more people notice you. It's better to just pretend that nothing happened. I think many people can understand that. You won't be so...
Silly, you had a conflict with Zhao Xun during the day and sent someone to assassinate him at night. But this time there is something that really needs our attention. There is actually a force in Yanzhou City that even we don't know about."
"Yes, we were too careless in the past. Now that Su Yun is not dead, Zhao Xun has appeared again, and Lian Zhou Junyou has gone far with us. We need to step up our plans. The three thousand troops under my command will
We must have control in our hands, and all generals above the sentinel commander must be our people, and those who are disobedient will be replaced immediately." Even though he said this, Sima Yun did not mean to worry at all.
"Then I asked Heiyi to track down who was assassinating Zhao Xun, but we suffered a hidden loss!" Yu Wenzhen nodded and said.
"Well, let's handle this matter immediately. At the same time, let our people in Qi County and Bei'an County take action to attack the soldiers under Su Yun's command. It's best to eat them." Sima Yun said with a dark smile.
"Then let Tuhu and other small tribes take action to hold back the Long Xiang army in the northeast and prevent them from supporting the counties in the south."
Su Mansion
"Master, Master!" Su Yun, who had drank some wine and was about to fall asleep, was called out by Butler Su's hurried voice.
"What's going on? It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Su Yun shouted outside the house.
"Master, something big happened!"
"What's the big deal? I'm fainting right now? Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Sir, Zhao Xun was assassinated just now and is said to have been injured."
"What?" Su Yun was so startled that she woke up from the wine. Mrs. Su, who was lying next to her, was also startled.
Su Yun quickly put on clothes, went outside the house, and asked the housekeeper: "When did it happen? Who sent the person? How is Zhao Xun's injury?"
Steward Su smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know this? I only know that Zhao Xun was assassinated, the guards suffered heavy losses, and he himself was injured. It is said that the Huolin Army dispatched troops to scare away the assassin. However, according to the government
The people from the Yamen said that they are carrying crossbows at the moment."
"Bows and crossbows? This is not something that ordinary people should have at this moment. Bows and arrows are okay. Crossbows are only available to the Longxiang Army. Although the government army has them, they are not equipped with many. The rest are purchased privately by the guards of some companies. Could it be?
Sima Yun? It shouldn’t be, Sima Yun wouldn’t be so stupid.” Su Yun thought to himself.
"You should go to the Huolin Army camp immediately to see how Zhao Xun is doing. By the way, bring some of the best wild ginseng and deer antlers in the house, and tell him that I will go see him tomorrow."
"What? Zhao Xun was assassinated? Great, is he dead? Not dead! What a pity, those assassins are so useless!" Xu Wen laughed happily when he heard the news.
"Zhao Xun was assassinated? Who did it? Sima Yun, Su Yun, Zhao Xun, and Mohe tribes, what should I do? What changes will Zhao Xun's stupid temperament bring? Then Su Yun
The excuse for the assassination was taken from my territory.
There are many benefits, but I want to see what kind of climate you can grow into." Zhou Jun, the right soldier and horse envoy, said to himself. Not long after Zhao Xun arrived in Yanzhou City, Miyun County told Zhao Xun what he had done.
Once again, Zhou Jun also paid attention to this young man.
"There's trouble in Yanzhou City again. There's something good to watch!" In an ordinary house, a handsome young man in his mid-twenties looked up at the sky with a smile and said to himself after hearing the news.
"Husband, what are you talking about?" A beautiful girl walked out of the house and said with concern: "It's cold outside, so you should go back to the house and rest."
The young man held the girl's hand lovingly and said: "Xiu'er, you have suffered with me, but don't worry, I will definitely become famous in a short time. When the time comes, you will also let your parents see that I am not an ordinary person.
"
Xiu'er said with sweetness: "Husband, in my heart, you are the best, I believe in you!"
