Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 515 Loyalty

In a good mood, Gan Ning looked at Wang Xiong very pleasing to the eye, regardless of the people on the side, just pulling Wang Xiong on his own, wanting to hear more from that Wang Zhoumu if he had any praises for him.

It's just that he likes Wang Xiong, but he doesn't know that Wang Xiong may not be used to him.

It is normal for young people to be high-spirited, and in addition, those who are capable are generally conceited, Gan Ning has both, and naturally become more domineering, but the problem is that Wang Xiong has followed Wang Zheng for a long time. On the contrary, he became more and more introverted, Wang Xiong naturally felt that such a performance was the way to achieve great things, and felt that it was difficult for a person like Gan Ning to become a great weapon.

A Zhonglang general is arrogant to such an extent, if you are as successful as our general, your nose will not be up to the sky?
After finally finding an excuse to get rid of Gan Ning, just as Wang Xiong sat down, Feng Feng came up again.

After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to ask: "Lieutenant Wang, when my lord hosted a banquet for Wang Zhoumu that day, I hadn't returned to Shouchun, but I heard that Zhou Mu had proposed to my lord that we should join forces to go north. A surprise attack on Xudu?"

Wang Xiong looks rough, but he is not really straight, otherwise Wang Zheng would not have made him take on the important task of handing over the generals of Shouchun. Hearing this, he did not answer first, but asked: "Since General Feng was not present at the time, what is the matter?" And how did you find out?"

"Could it be what Yuan Gong said?"

This is naturally impossible. If Feng Feng had been told by Yuan Shu himself, why would he have to be suspicious? In Wang Xiong's case, it can only be Liang Gang who happened to meet him, but he didn't hear it clearly. , indistinctly.

"Brother Wang still wants to hide it? Many people in the army know about it. As for where the news came from, I really don't know."

Naturally, Feng Feng would not sell his teammates in front of Liang Gang and others, so he laughed and said, "I don't know what my lord said? Did you agree?"

"A lot of people in the army know about it?"

Wang Xiong frowned when he heard the words, he couldn't help thinking of what Yuan Shu boasted at the banquet that day "there is no possibility of leaking secrets", he sighed in his heart, fortunately this is just an excuse for the general.

If there is really such a plan, meeting such a pig teammate as Yuan Shu, and such an important military plan being leaked like this, the surprise attack on Xu Du may be the death of Xu Du.
He glanced at Feng Feng, "General Feng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for this confidential matter to be widely known?"

Feng Feng was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it hasn't reached this point."

Wang Xiong made indirect remarks again, and continued to ask: "Then how many people in your army know about this?"

"Ah," Feng Feng hesitated for a while, and then said in a dazed manner, "Most people above Dubo should know about it."

What's the difference between that and everyone knows?Wang Xiong sighed, and asked again: "Then I won't hide it from you, there is indeed such a thing, but Yuan Gong has not yet agreed, General Feng, according to your opinion, is this possible?"

Feng Feng said without hesitation: "This is absolutely impossible, it's a dead end!"

"Why?" Wang Xiong cooperatively put on a look of displeasure: "Did you underestimate my Xuzhou soldiers?"

Feng Fengdao: "It's not that I don't believe in your army's combat power. It's just that Bandit Cao has been recruiting troops for the past few years, recharging his energy and recharging his energy. He has Yuan Shao from Jizhou on his side, and our two families have been exhausted from fighting again and again. If we go on a long-distance expedition , I am afraid that the chances of losing the geographical advantage are not great. Unless "

After Wang Zheng finished talking about his intention to attack Xudu, Yuan Shu also knew that the matter was of great importance, and the conversation between the two of them turned into whispers. Naturally, Liang Gang and others did not hear his analysis that Yuan Cao was about to split.

Wang Xiong asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless we talk about moving a family."

Glancing at Wang Xiong, Feng Feng said: "Now there is a hero in the state of Chen in Yuzhou, who is a member of the Han clan. Great grasp."

A clan member of the Han Dynasty, the second general Xiong Hu.
Wang Xiong thought of someone almost immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it Liu Xuande that General Feng is talking about?"

When Wang Xiong returned to the embassy, ​​although he was drunk and sleepy, he refused to go to rest directly. He washed his head with cold water and became sober before going to see Wang Zheng.

In fact, Wang Zheng just came back not long ago. He didn't expect Fan Wu, a pampered lady, to be so talented. The woman actually won the final victory under her obsession after nearly two hours. After she fell asleep with a satisfied sweet smile, Wang Zheng returned to the embassy.

When Wang Xiong entered the study, Wang Zheng was talking to Mi Li, and when he saw him come in, he signaled him to sit down and wait a moment. Wang Xiong and Mi Li had never met before, and they didn't know each other. Listening to Wang Zheng talking to him, what they said seemed to be It was related to monitoring and guarding against someone's secrecy, so he guessed that the other party should be a sentry in Yangzhou arranged by Mi Fang's life hunting department.

After talking with Mi Li for a long time, Wang Zheng finally said softly, "You have worked hard during this time. Since Lu Ji went to see Li Shu, Shen and Zhao's two families today, we should make some arrangements for these places and closely monitor them. From today onwards, everyone who Lu Ji has come into contact with must be investigated and monitored separately."

"If there is not enough manpower, contact Mi Fang as soon as possible, and ask him to transfer the manpower all over Jiangdong to Shouchun as soon as possible. You must choose smart and capable people, and work in shifts day and night, twelve hours a day, without slack for a moment."

"promise!"

Mi Li respectfully replied yes, and asked again: "Zhou Mu, what should I do if I find something abnormal?"

Wang Zheng glanced at Mi Li lightly when he heard the words, but did not answer.

No answer is the most definite answer, Mi Li knew it in his heart, saluted, turned around and walked out of the hall, passing Wang Xiong's side without looking sideways, without saying hello.

Since Wang Zheng did not introduce the two of them to each other, it meant that there was no need for the two of them to know each other.

It wasn't until Mi Li's figure disappeared completely that Wang Zhengfang looked sideways at Wang Xiong and said, "This is the leader of the sentry cavalry arranged by the Mi family in Shouchun. His ostensible identity is the manager of a rice shop in the city. If you meet him in the future, you should just treat him as a It’s fine if you don’t know him, don’t show your feet.”

Wang Xiong said that he knew that he would tell Wang Zheng what happened at today's banquet, what happened, and everyone's attitude.

That's all for the rest, including Liu Bei's current deployment in Chen Guo, Wang Zheng knew about it a long time ago, until Wang Xiong talked about Gan Ning, his calm expression finally became turbulent.

"Gan Ning?" Wang Zheng asked in surprise, "What is this character? Where did it come from?"

"General." Wang Xiong bowed and said, "Gan Ning, whose name is Xingba, is from Bajun, Yizhou. He served under Liu Biao before, but he was recruited by Yuan Shu recently."

Then this Gan Ning should be the Gan Ning in my memory
It's just that I vaguely remember that before Gan Ning joined Soochow, he was a general of Jingzhou Huangzu's side, why is he now Yuan Shu's subordinate?

Gan Xingba is no ordinary person.

If he joins Yuan Shu, will there be any surprises to his own plan?

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

When Wang Zheng was meeting with Mi Li and Wang Xiong in the embassy, ​​two people came down from an inn opposite the outside of the embassy, ​​looked back and forth, and trotted towards Yang Hong's mansion in the dark.

These two people were sent by Yang Hong to monitor the secret work of Wang Zheng. The leader was Cui Huan, and the other was his deputy.

The two walked quickly along the deserted street, and soon came to Yang's Mansion.

Because of Yang Hong's order, if Cui Huan and others came, they could come in directly without notification, so the housekeeper immediately led them to visit Yang Hong in the study.

At this time, Yang Hou was also meeting with guests, Cui Huan and others did not dare to rush in, so they waited outside Tangtang, and after a while, the door of the study opened, and a man dressed as a military officer came out, walked by him, and heard A strong smell of alcohol.Another person came out, beckoned to the two of them, and said, "Master told you to come in."

"Yes."

Cui Huan didn't dare to neglect, and led his assistant into the room.

The light in the room was very dim, and Yang Hong could be vaguely seen sitting at the table.The two of them knelt down and saluted.

Yang Hong was very busy, and he didn't have the patience to wait for them to finish the salute. Before Yan Xiang was around, he was a bit willful and casual, but now he has become much more pragmatic. He has long been disinterested in the cumbersome etiquette he once paid attention to, and just waved his hand , asked the two of them to get up, and asked straightforwardly: "How has the situation been these two days?" Probably due to being too tired, their voices were a little hoarse.

"Sacrificing wine." Cui Huan bowed and said, "Wang Zheng's only son went to the Zhao Mansion all of a sudden this evening, and stayed there for nearly three hours before returning to the embassy. There is nothing unusual about it."

"The same is true for Wang Xiong. He went out at dusk and returned late at night. When he returned, he didn't have time to rest and wash, so he went straight to see Xuzhou Mu." The deputy said: "In addition, Zhou Tai has not returned to the embassy today, according to outside reports , seems to be staying in Qin Duwei's mansion."

"It's done well." Yang Hong nodded: "I already know about Wang Xiong's matter. Wang Zheng also went out today and went to the Zhao Mansion? Which Zhao Mansion?"

Already know?
Cui Huan was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered the military officer he saw just now, suddenly realized, and hurriedly continued: "The wine for offering sacrifices is the residence of Captain Zhao Xun."

"Zhao Xun? Didn't he die a long time ago?"

This time, Yang Hong was surprised. After thinking for a while, he said: "Apart from Wang Zheng and Wang Xiong, are there any other people in the museum?"

"Except for that Wan Qiao who lives in seclusion, Zhou Tai and other generals are also like Wang Xiong. They go out every day and look very busy. It's just that the villain can't follow each other due to lack of manpower. He just focuses on Wang Zheng and Wang Xiong. The two of you, Xiong, don't know where the others go every day and who they meet."

Yang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, accentuated his tone, and said word by word: "Going out every day?"

"Yes, basically they go out every morning and return at night."

Yang Hong sent three groups of people to monitor Wang Zheng, and the other two groups also mentioned similar situations to him.He supported the table, stood up, walked slowly back and forth a few steps, nodded after thinking for a long time, and said: "You have worked hard, and you should go back to sleep well and recharge your spirits. You must not relax when you are on duty. .”

"Yes."

When Cui Huan and the two left the study with their bodies bowed, Yang Hong walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking hard, and muttering to himself: "Zhou Tai was originally from Jiujiang, and there are some relatives and friends in Shouchun City. But you don’t need to go out to visit every day, do you?”

"There are other people. Wang Zheng's subordinates are either from Qingzhou or Xuzhou. At most, Taishan people are added. There is not a single person from Yangzhou. Why do they go out all day without a trace?"

After pondering for a long time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he didn't know what he thought of. He walked out and shouted as he walked, "Come on, prepare your horse quickly, I want to go to the palace immediately to see the lord!"

When he arrived at the old Chu Palace, Yuan Shu was still asleep.

Yang Hong waited in the hall for a long time, and finally saw Yuan Shu with loose hair, wearing a brocade and silk robe, walking out lazily.

He sat down and looked at Yang Hong, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Sir, what is the important thing to see Ben Hou in such a hurry in the middle of the night?"

"The lord forgives the sin, but this fact is extremely urgent."

When Yang Hong told what Cui Huan said, Yuan Shu yawned, but he didn't take it seriously: "What's the rush? Zhou Tai was originally from Jiujiang, so it's strange to see relatives and friends?"

"This is the key!"

Yang Hong said: "Wang Zheng's generals are most famous than Jin Yu and Huang Zhong. In terms of closeness, there are also Xu Fang and Wu Sheng. Now that Huang Zhong and Wu Sheng are both in the territory, Wang Zheng is here to celebrate his achievements. Why not wait for these two People, but they only brought Wang Xiong and Zhou Tai with them? Especially Zhou Tai, this person was unknown before, besides his identity as a native of Jiujiang, what else is so strange?"

"The king is coming to Shouchun, why is it strange to bring someone who is familiar with the place?" Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "One can be a guide, and the other can also comfort the homesickness of his subordinates. What's wrong? Doesn't this just mean that Wang Yukou Is this son benevolent and generous, emphasizing love and righteousness?"

"Lord!"

Yang Hong was so anxious that he could not wait to raise Yuan Shu's ear, almost close to his face, raised his voice, and almost shouted: "Zhou Tai and Wang Xiong go in and out of our generals' mansions every day, or the private houses of local prominent families. , Even Wang Zheng himself went to Zhao Xun's mansion today to condolences to the widow of a dead man, what is this? This is the joint efforts of the monarch and his ministers to gain fame and reputation, thinking that he can buy people's hearts!"

"Haha."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Yuan Shu was not surprised but laughed instead: "My Marquis already knew about Wang Zheng's visit to the Zhao residence, but it was because Zhao Xun's wife, Fan Wu, thanked her for avenging her husband and took the initiative to entertain her. Wang Zheng is not good at rejecting people thousands of miles away. Besides, I went to the meeting because I was cold-hearted."

"It's too serious to buy people's hearts, sir."

"Your Majesty"

Yang Hong hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he fell to his knees with a thud, and said sternly, "I beg my lord, kill Wang Zheng quickly, otherwise something bad will happen!"

"Quick kill Wang Zheng?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Potian was startled, and even Yuan Shu's drowsy head was frightened to wake up: "Yang Hong, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Do you know who Wang Zheng is? Don't you just kill him if you say so!"

"My lord, just think about it, why does Wang Zheng allow his subordinates to hang out, but he often stays behind closed doors?" Yang Hong said firmly, "This is obviously a posturing, so as not to arouse the lord's suspicion!"

"But I don't know that I'm trying to cover it up, but it turns out that this son must have a different intention!"

"Therefore, I ask my lord to kill the state shepherd quickly. If the lord still ignores it and does what he does, I boldly assert that before the harsh winter, Shouchun will change hands!"

Seeing that Yang Hong's voice was stern, and his analysis was orderly and well-founded, Yuan Shu's expression finally became serious.

Take a closer look, it seems
How reasonable is it?

But now the king's government is not comparable to what it was back then, don't talk about quick killing, even the consequences of antagonism are very serious, Yuan Shu pondered for a while, still in shock and doubt:
"Sir, is it really that serious?"
