Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 620 The Counselor's Dream

"Exactly, but from my point of view, if it's an internal traitor, Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, should be most suspected."

Mi Fang bowed and replied: "I have read the information from Jizhou before, saying that this son is the most favored by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tan was adopted by Yuan Shao to his deceased brother Yuan Ji as his stepson two years ago, so in theory, Now Yuan Xi is the eldest son of Yuan Shao's lineage."

"Yuan Xi has the reputation, and Yuan Shang has the love. They each have their own things to rely on, so naturally they will be invincible."

After hearing Mi Fang's analysis, Wang Zheng shook his head subconsciously, "It should not be Yuan Shang."

Mi Fang was startled when she heard the words, "Why are you so sure, my lord?"

Although Yuan Shao left the stage earlier in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his role is not too small. As the hero who suppressed Cao Cao for a long time, he was analyzed by many experts and netizens in the later celestial dynasties. I have also seen that with the higher level, not only his five senses are excellent now, but also his memory is much better than at the beginning of time travel. At this time, he recalled most of it:
"As far as I know, Yuan Xi's talents are mediocre. Apart from finding a beautiful wife, there is really nothing to report. Not only did he not win Yuan Shao's favor, but there are not many civil and military officials in Jizhou who support him. It will appear between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang."

Yuan Xi has been staying in Yecheng, where did my lord know that Yuan Xi is mediocre and won't be supported by all the officials?
Ben Mingsi has not investigated these yet?

Mi Fang's heart trembled, but she said: "Then according to what my lord said, since Yuan Xi is not a threat, then Yuan Tan has no reason to do anything?"

"Not necessarily."

While talking, Wang Zheng stood up, paced back and forth in the room, deliberated a little bit: "Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang seem to be closer, and he has just been appointed as the governor of Youzhou. If you give him a few years Not to mention how big the situation is, there must be some influence, and once we win the throne in the future, once we help Yuan Shang, it will naturally be a bit tricky, so it is possible for Yuan Tan to take action in advance to prevent problems before they happen."

"The lord sees everything"

Mi Fang didn't even finish her flattery, but Wang Zheng shook his head and rejected his own judgment, "It's still not right, Yuan Tan's possibility is not high."

"Even though he was adopted to Yuan Ji's lineage, Yuan Tan is still Yuan Shao's son. Judging from his ability to lead the army to guard Qingzhou alone, Yuan Shao still attaches great importance to Yuan Tan. It may not be that there is no chance to inherit Yuan Shao's official title."

Wang Zheng vaguely remembered that even though Yuan Shao fell ill and died after the Battle of Guandu, he hadn't made it clear that Yuan Shang was his heir. There was a holiday, and it was caused by Yuan Tan's private change of Yuan Shao's will because he was worried that Yuan Tan would harm him after he ascended the throne.

What does this mean?
It shows that Yuan Shao may not be considered a wise master, because he failed to deal with his family's affairs well and laid the groundwork for the Yuan family's civil strife, but he did not really do the stupid thing of "abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones".

This Wang Zheng can understand that liking is one thing, but choosing is another. The reason why the eldest son inheritance system can become the historical rule of the Celestial Dynasty for thousands of years is because it is one of the best decisions made among many risks and variables. You understand, although there is no guarantee that the successor will be virtuous or not, at least it can avoid fighting each other for power, causing disasters, and even more serious problems such as fratricide.

Yuan Shao should be able to see this point, but of course, he has been hesitant to see it, and it is no wonder that Cao Cao would disdainfully comment on his "planning and endless".

Having said this, Wang Zheng paused for a moment, and said affirmatively: "Back then when Mount Tai was enshrined, this general fought against Yuan Tan, and this son's marching and fighting are quite satisfactory, he is not considered a general, but he is still considered a steady soldier. "

"You can know his people by seeing his rules. Now Yuan Shao is only leaning toward Yuan Shang, but it's only leaning toward Yuan Shang, and the situation has not come to a critical situation. If so, with Yuan Tan's character, there is really no reason for him to take risks. Assassination is too aggressive and reckless!"

"Anyone who is not a fool can see that the assassination happened in Yuan Xi's mansion, so Yuan Xi is the least suspect. Once Yuan Shao investigates, he will definitely find some clues. Wait, if Yuan Tan did it, then It’s just a game within a game!”

Game in game?

Mi Fang also reacted at this time, and blurted out: "My lord, the purpose of the assassination this time was not to frame Yuan Xi, but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. After Yuan Shao investigated, he found that Yuan Shang framed his own family." Brothers?"

"If it's really Yuan Tan's plan, then his purpose may be exactly for this."

Wang Zheng nodded and said: "As long as Yuan Shao investigates and finds that Yuan Shang is involved in the assassination case, even if the evidence is not sufficient, Yuan Shang will probably not believe it, but as long as there is a trace of doubt, a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, it is possible for Yuan Shao to come back Thinking about the issue of whether to be a long-term or a young man, and thus give Yuan Tan greater hope."

This conjecture is already considered a relatively wise opinion, and Wang Zheng, who can see this step, also made Mi Fang secretly sigh: "The sky treats my Lord so kindly, not only born with divine power, but also God-given wisdom!"

Regardless of whether Wang Zheng has other information channels, based on his analysis alone, he not only guessed the most likely real culprit, but even guessed most of the other party's thoughts. A young state shepherd, more and more convinced that his original choice was the right one!

Brother, from childhood to adulthood, you have always been the one to call the shots and proved you are right time and time again, but this time.
I was right!
Because I chose the Lord of Destiny for the Mi family!
He was full of thoughts here, but Wang Zheng didn't pay attention, maybe he was addicted to gossip and gossip, and he still couldn't get enough of it after talking for a long time, so he continued to analyze excitedly: "Actually, there is another possibility!"

"If it was really the work of an insider, the possibility of Yuan Tan being the mastermind behind the scenes is [-]%. Only then can you find out. Who is the other [-]%?"

Who else?

According to Wang Zheng, this person is basically Yuan Shang, but Mi Fang was born as a merchant, and he is also a shrewd person. If the answer is so simple, why would Wang Zheng ask such a question? At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of another possible.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Wang Zheng was obviously talking about sex at this time, and how to cooperate is considered interesting. He immediately pretended not to know, but deliberately said: "My lord, are you talking about Yuan Shang? I also set up a game in the middle of the game, intending to let Yuan Shao suspects Yuan Tan?"

"No no no."

Wang Zheng smiled inscrutably, looked at Mi Fang and waved his hands: "The assassination happened in Yuan Xi's mansion, even if it was not done by him, it is still negligent. If it is to frame Yuan Tan, once Yuan Xi finds out about it, But he will also turn against him, hurt the enemy, but also lose his allies. Doesn’t this kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred? A wise man will not do it.”

"What does my lord mean?"

"If the internal thief is not Yuan Tan." Wang Zheng said confidently, "Then it can only be Yuan Xi."

"This son directed and acted on his own, and framed himself!"

Yuan Shao is definitely not a fool to have today's foundation. No matter who the evidence points to at the beginning, he will not easily believe it. One would think that since this person was framed, who would be the beneficiary?
If all the evidence pointed to Yuan Xi at the beginning, then he must have been framed, and the beneficiary could only be between his other two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang!

And the best result is that Yuan Shao still can't find out whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang who did it. In this way, he will be suspicious of these two sons, and Yuan Xi will become the biggest winner.

"My lord sees thousands of miles away!"

This time Mi Fang finally finished his lines, and he said with a look of admiration: "If it was really Yuan Xi who did it, this trick is indeed very ingenious. It can be said that he was picked from the possible suspects from the very beginning."

"I'm stupid. If the lord hadn't pointed out something, it would be really difficult to get a glimpse of the truth in the sky."

"Hahaha."

For Mi Fang's flattery, Wang Zheng is very helpful. Compared with Wu Yong, in fact, he has always wanted to show his "intelligence" in front of others.

Even Wang Zheng's fondness for fighting has always referred to fighting on the battlefield, rather than single-handedly fighting the generals. Why?
Because no matter how strong personal martial arts are, they are not developed by him himself. Since it is not his own ability, let alone defeating Sun Ce or Zhang Fei, so what if he defeats Lu Bu?

To put it bluntly, it is all the system's ability, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Zheng has never been complacent in this regard.

But the brain is different. Although he was "unfavorable" at the beginning of time travel, Wang Zheng feels that with his own persistence, his performance in this area has become better and better in recent years.

Look at this time, I am thousands of miles away, so I have analyzed this matter in Yecheng clearly and clearly, haven't I?Yuan Benchu, the person involved, is probably still at a loss, right?

This kind of performance, not to mention clever calculations, but exhaustive strategies, at least it is a person who has seen the subtleties and strategized, right?
In fact, judging from the information he has, this analysis can be regarded as reasonable and reliable, but the key problem is that the information obtained by Ben Mingsi is not complete, and some of the most important pieces are missing.
For example, this assassination was very successful, so great that if Zhang He hadn't been alert and acted in time, Yuan Shao would have "died young" more than in the original history!

This alone can rule out all the suspicions of his sons. After all, no matter whether it is Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi or Yuan Shang, it is impossible for the world to be undecided. At this time when there are many heroes competing for the throne, they hope that their father will step down early.

Another example is that Yuan Xi was not the first "master behind the scenes" to surface. Although the assassination took place in Yuan Xi's house, the problem is that both the identity of the assassin and the process of the assassin's entry into the banquet were all related to Wang Zheng has a great relationship.

If according to the logic of Wang Zhengfang's "self-directed and self-acted", the person who was framed is the main messenger, then...
I can only hope that Yuan Shao and his advisers don't think so.

Naturally, these Wang Zhengs didn't know, but at this time they fell into a state of more and more confidence: "However, in my opinion, the biggest suspect is Cao Cao."

"The minister deeply agrees."

Mi Fang nodded again and again: "If Cao Cao finds out that Yuan Shao has a plan to attack southward, with his power at this time, he will be unable to fight against him. If he can't fight with open swords and guns, he will think of countering with hidden arrows."

Wang Zheng nodded. In his opinion, Yuan Shao's early departure to the south may also be the biggest reason for the change in history and the assassination.

In the original history, the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was the same as it is now. As early as the first year of Jian'an after Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, there were signs of disintegration. Not fully intensified.

But it was different now. Yuan Shu, who was supposed to persist until the fourth year of Jian'an, had already been defeated by Wang Zheng, and more importantly, Gongsun Zan was also destroyed by Yuan Shao ahead of schedule for some reason.

Then the next direction is completely different. In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao occupied Youzhou, Jizhou, some Qingzhou, and Bingzhou. He had all the land in Hebei ahead of time, and the journey to the south was naturally ahead of schedule.

What's more important is that Cao Cao's victory in the battle of Guandu was due to many factors of luck. For example, Xu You released the water at that time, two years in advance, will it continue to happen?
It is even hard to say whether Yuan Shao will choose a different marching route if he goes south this time, and whether the decisive battle will take place at Guandu near Zhongmou.

You must know that the situation in Jian'an for four years is still Yuan Qiang and Cao Weak. This gap will only be greater two years in advance. Even Wang Zheng, who knows Cao Cao's ability, is not sure whether it will still be the end of Cao Shengyuan's defeat. up.
Naturally, no one would be willing to fight a war where the chance of winning is too small. Since the gap in strength between the two sides cannot be resolved in a short period of time, it is normal and helpless to make the idea of ​​assassinating Yuan Shao and deal with him as the coach.

"If the internal thieves are excluded, Yuan Shao will probably immediately think that Cao Cao did it." Wang Zheng mused, "He will be furious, and the plan to send troops south may be advanced."

"You said, should we help Cao Cao delay the time?"

Help Cao Cao?
Mi Fang was stunned when he heard the words, the Mi family had been on the line with Wang Zheng when they were in Zhao County, he was naturally very aware of the grievances between Wang Zheng and Cao Cao, and since they met, he could also vaguely feel that compared to Yuan Shao, the current power is weaker Cao Cao was more valued by Wang Zheng and regarded as a strong enemy.

That being the case, how could the lord suddenly want to help Cao Cao?
After all, Mi Fang is still lacking in the overall situation. If Guo Jia was present at this time, he could immediately understand Wang Zheng's thoughts. The sooner the war starts, the less chance Cao Cao will win, and this is not what Wang Zheng likes to see arrived.

Because for Wangzheng, who is in the south, the later it is for the heroes of the north to decide the winner, the more beneficial it will be.

Wang Zheng was not surprised that Mi Fang didn't understand his family's intentions, he just waved his hand:

"Retire first and continue to pay attention to the assassination case in Yecheng, but if you have new information, report it as soon as possible."

"promise."
