Hearing this shout, Wang Yu almost laughed out loud. The expressions on the faces of everyone present were also very strange, as if they were holding back something very uncomfortable.
After finishing the conversation with Qiao Yu, Wang Yu had carefully thought out most of it, but there were still some details that he hadn't thought clearly about. He simply called everyone together to brainstorm. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, others were still thinking deeply about Wei Yan's conspiracy.
The commentator was the first to jump out and shout out his signature catchphrase.
"Is there a conspiracy?" The others were more or less used to it. Only Xu Sheng, an honest boy, believed it. He looked at Wei Yan with wide eyes. He couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy there was for such a seemingly simple thing.
Brewing in it.
"Wen Xiang, you are good at everything, but you are too kind."
Wei Yan patted Xu Sheng's shoulder carelessly and sighed: "Isn't this obvious? A beauty trap! Think about it, how many years ago Qiao Mao proposed to his lord, if the Qiao family is really serious,
No matter how much trouble there is, they can't stop them. If you can move your family from Suiyang to Wan County, why can't you move to Fenggao?"
He said with certainty: "Now, the Qiao family must have colluded with Yuan Shu, and wanted to lure the lord to Wan County in the name of marriage, and then take the opportunity to harm him! Think about it, Yuan Shu is so scared now, for
To avoid the lord's attack, he even gave up Pengcheng, and gave it to Liu Bei. In desperation, is it not normal for a dog to jump over the wall? A conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy!"
Thinking along this line of thinking, Wang Yu discovered that Wei Yan's conspiracy theory was not completely unreasonable.
When I tried to marry Lu Bu before, I had thought about it and planned to go to Luoyang in person. Although due to various reasons, I was unable to make the trip, but if I know something about the initial negotiations between the two parties, I can also infer that
With your own attitude, it may not be impossible to make a plan based on this point.
Of course, Wei Yan's idea is still a bit extreme, and he wants to plot against himself? Yuan Shu may not have the courage, and the Qiao family may not have such determination.
Before Wang Yu could speak, Zhao Yun had already raised a question: "Based on Yuan Shu's fear of his lord, he may not have the courage. He has been witnessing his lord's bravery since the beginning of his fame. Even if the lord Qingqi goes south, is it possible?
Is he sure that he can plot to get the master?"
Zhao Yun's idea is straightforward. Yuan Shu, the nominal governor of Yangzhou, actually only occupies half of Runan and Huainan counties. The rest is similar to Lujiang County. It is nominally under the rule of Yuan Shu, but in fact it is controlled by local forces.
Controlled.
Wan County is adjacent to the Yangtze River and has smooth waterways. It has been less than a year since Sun Ce took control of Jiangdong, and he is still far from completely occupying Jiangdong. He has already been overwhelmed by the suppression of the forces within his jurisdiction, and it is impossible to build a strong naval force.
Carry out a difficult military operation such as blocking a large river.
As early as the beginning of the Hebei War, the Qingzhou Navy had a duel with Liu Yao's Navy on the Yangtze River. Although it was a sneak attack, it ended in a complete victory. It must have been famous on both sides of the river. Yuan Shu would not do it again.
Without foresight, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.
Under such conditions, it would be extremely difficult to encircle and kill the elite light cavalry led by Wang Yu and Zhao Yun himself.
"Although Yuan Shu has shown hostility in recent days, he has never had a direct confrontation with our army. It can be seen that he knows the temper of the lord very well. How can he place his hope of success on such a small probability event? Once he fails, our soldiers will be
He is provoked and goes south with all his strength, what can he do to resist?"
Zhao Yun said sternly: "What's more, the theory of beauty trap is pure nonsense! My lord is an upright man, how can he be someone who ignores his great career and lives lightly just for the sake of mere beauty? This is what Wen Chang said, it is true.
It’s too much to worry about, no need to mention it again.”
Zhao Yun's words were so righteous that Wei Yan couldn't refute them for a while, but Wang Yu himself was ashamed. To be honest, when Wei Yan talked about the beauty trap, he really felt sad.
This has nothing to do with feelings for the beloved wife at home, nor does it have anything to do with character. Think about it, that is Er Qiao, how many beauties have been described by literati! In future generations, if it is revealed, if you see Er Qiao, you will
With the condition of not eating for three days, those who sign up will definitely be able to squeeze through the Arc de Triomphe. Er Qiao, isn't he more attractive than those stars in later generations?
Wang Yu really wanted to go and have a look. Of course he would be very happy if he could marry him back home. But now that Zhao Yun said this, he couldn't continue to express his intentions in this regard. After all, he is an 'upright' person.
, it’s better not to ruin your image in the hearts of your trusted generals.
"In Yi Liang's opinion, the Qiao family's coming here may not be due to conspiracy, but maybe it's just a coincidence." Wei Yan's conspiracy theory was just based on instinct. When Zhao Yun refuted it, he himself felt that it was untenable.
, but when Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened again, looking at that posture, he would make a comeback at any time.
Zhuge Liang also knew that his opponent was very persistent, so he did not dare to give him a chance, so he asked Wang Yu directly: "May I ask my lord, does Mr. Qiao have any intention of inviting you to Wan County to welcome your bride?"
"That's not true." Wang Yu shook his head. Half of the conversation between Qiao Yu and himself was reminiscing about the past - even though there was no old relationship between the two parties, even Qiao Mao and himself only had a one-time relationship. There was no old relationship.
Xu? The other half of the time was spent complaining about Yuan Shu's arrogance and Lu Kang's stubbornness, asking for help, but only mentioned it at the end.
"Then, did he say that he would move his family to the area under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou and ask the lord to dispatch troops and generals to help him?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"No."
Although Zhuge Liang did not directly refute Wei Yan's conspiracy theory, with so many smart people present, it was enough for this purpose.
The Qiao family had not invited them, so they would have let Wang Yu try to save him. And no matter how adventurous Wang Yu was, he would never make the decision to go south to meet his bride in person. Even if he did, everyone would definitely try their best to dissuade him.
.
With Qingzhou's strength, it is easy to solve such a trivial matter for the Qiao family, so why take such risks? Even if you mobilize a large army to go south and attack Jianghuai with all your strength, it is more reliable than Wang Yu's Qingqi going south.
Although Yuan Shu had no foresight, saying that he would take great pains to come up with a conspiracy with such a low chance of success seems to be looking down on him too much.
"Having said that, there is one thing that my lord must not ignore. The reason why the Qiao family has traveled so far to ask for help is too far-fetched."
Before Zhuge Liang could conclude, Zhang Jia suddenly interjected: "The Qiao family firmly refuses to marry Yuan Shu, and there seems to be something questionable about it. Although the two daughters of the Qiao family are legitimate daughters, they may not be as good as the family's safety. Yuan Shu
Although it is against ethics for a father and son to marry two sisters, it is not necessarily shocking in the family of a public official. Why did the Qiao family refuse? What agreement Qiao Mao made with the prince that day is not known to outsiders. If he had not contacted Yuan Shu
, but was oppressed by Lu Kang and wanted to plot against the lord, so what?"
"Lu Kang is plotting against the lord? Brother Junyi is worrying too much, isn't he?" Zhao Yun said in surprise.
"Zilong doesn't know something." He opened his jaw and shook his head with a serious expression: "Lu Kang is a famous official in the court. When the late emperor wanted to cast gold figures to increase taxes, Lu Kang once tried hard to admonish him. If Liu Dai hadn't come to the rescue, he would have almost died. He was accused of being disrespectful. With this kind of kindness, it is not completely unreasonable to say that he wanted to take revenge by murdering his lord. In addition, this person is from Wujun, and the Sun family is also a prominent family in Wujun. If there is a difference between the two Some collusion is not unreasonable."
Zhang Jia is old and has been an official for a long time. He is more familiar with some old anecdotes in the court than everyone here. Wang Yu has never heard of Lu Kang at all, but Zhang Jia casually talks about it, but it is like a treasure trove.
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Yu was slightly surprised and turned to Pang Tong.
A month ago, he put Pang Tong in charge of Xuzhou's intelligence work and informed Gaotang about it. Who knew that Jia Xu would be more lazy than expected, and simply dumped the intelligence on Huainan and Jiangdong to his disciples, and used it as a good name He said that since the work in only one state was added, it was not too difficult.
Well, Huainan and Jiangdong are nominally under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, but the division of administrative districts in the Han Dynasty is not particularly reasonable. According to Wang Yu's speculation, the main criterion for the division of administrative districts in the Han Dynasty should be population, not land area. This division does not mean to keep pace with the times, so Yangzhou is a weirdo.
In fact, the area of Youzhou is not smaller than that of Yangzhou, but after all, it is a frontier and bitter cold place. Even if there is no threat from aliens, it is not suitable for large-scale population reproduction. And what kind of place is Yangzhou? Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period actually occupied Only half of Yangzhou and half of Jingzhou.
Jia Xu didn't feel sorry for his disciple, but Wang Yu was a little worried, but seeing Pang Tong himself looking like he was enjoying it, he had nothing to say and could only let it be.
Pang Tong turned his head and thought about it, and soon came up with the answer: "Lu Kang, courtesy name Jining, came from a prominent family in Wu County. His grandfathers successively served as Shangshu Ling in Jianwu. His father, Lu Bao, was a famous hermit at that time. He often suffered omens and died. Just...as General Junyi said, he is related to the Liu Dai brothers. However, he studied under Zang Min, so he is actually somewhat related to the lord."
Wang Yu was very envious of Pang Tong's photographic memory. If he had this ability, there would be no need to think hard if he didn't remember the characters and information of the Three Kingdoms very well.
But what he felt more deeply in his heart was that the relationship between people was really too complicated. Lu Kang was probably not an important figure in the Qingzhou intelligence system, but when it came to the information, there was still so much information.
"Is it related to me?" When he heard the last sentence, he was shocked.
"Zang Min is the father of Zang Hong. When the princes met for an alliance, it was Hong who drafted the petition... Hong was originally under the command of Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao. Later, Cao Cao attacked Chen Liu, but Chao could not resist, so he rushed to Miao. Now both of them are here Puyang." Pang Tong continued to show his amazing memory and explained clearly all the relationships involved in Lu Kang.
"So... it's really possible that this is a conspiracy?" Zhang Jia was very surprised when he heard this, and at the same time, he was more convinced of the idea he had put forward before.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shi Yuan." Wang Yu nodded to Pang Tong, and then opened his jaw. Wei Yan shook his head: "It's too early to draw a conclusion on this. The biggest reason why the Qiao family refuses to marry Yuan Shu is..." He paused for a moment. After a pause, he looked around the scene. When everyone was holding their breath and listening, he softly uttered a few words, which exploded like thunder on the spot: "Yuan Shu intends to proclaim himself emperor!" (To be continued.)
