Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 584 Entering Longevity Spring

Things never go as planned.If it was just Jing'an Cao and Assassin Cao, Liu Xie would not have sent most of Jin Yiwei's elite to Shouchun.

"What, you said that Jiangdong Sun Ce also organized an espionage agency?!" Duanmu Zhengshuo already deeply hated Liu Xie's wisdom at this time.Not only did he see that this Liang Xi was very powerful, he even expected that there would be dragons and tigers in Shouchun, and the undercurrent would be raging.

Duanmu Zhengshuo dared to swear that his identity was never exposed to Cao Jing'an.Then the gentle-looking Liang Xi in front of him could know that he was Jin Yiwei, and it was his own discovery during the period of lurking.

At this time, Duanmu Zhengshuo and Liang Xi were sitting in a carriage, driving towards Shouchun as a congratulatory gift from Liu Xun to Yuan Shu.It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are congratulatory gifts, because along with the two of them entering the birthday together, there are also a large number of gold, jewelry and jade—and these gold, jewelry and jade are obviously the New Year's gift Liu Xun gave Yuan Shu.

Such a situation will not shame the two of them, on the contrary, only those who are valuable will be used by others.If a good spy can't even do this, then he can only be a scout.Hmm... Scouts are of course special forces in the army, but for a high-level spy like Duanmu Zhengshuo, he is obviously more advanced.

However, these are not the point.The point is that after the two were stuffed into the carriage, Liang Xi and Duanmu Zhengshuo looked at each other very tacitly and meaningfully, and their affection seemed to almost catch up with that of a concubine.If Liang Xi hadn't opened his mouth to spoil the scenery first, Duanmu Zhengshuo felt that he could be more affectionate.

The two spies looked at each other, and their momentum was no less than the charged blow of the general in front of the formation.After Liang Xi's blow, Duanmu Zhengshuo just closed his eyes, and then started to fight back.He told himself that he also knew Liang Xi's identity, and also told about Jing'an Cao's secret room.

Cao Cao had mentioned Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor as early as when he was in Yanzhou, so Duanmu Zhengshuo naturally had no reason to believe that Cao Cao only got one Liang Xi after more than half a year.This blow could be said to be fatal to Liang Xi. After all, Liang Xi hadn't discovered that another Jinyi guard, Luo Lin, was also lurking in Lujiang.

So, next, Liang Xi said that in Shouchun City, there is not only the existence of stabbing Cao.There is also an emerging dark organization. After excluding other possibilities, Liang Xi judged that the dark organization should be left behind by Jiangdong Sun Ce.Moreover, he guessed that the leader of this spy team was Sun Ce's sworn brother Zhou Yu.

"Sun Ce is just beginning to show his strengths in Jiangdong, and he is not enough to plan Yangzhou Yakou." Duanmu Zhengshuo determined the nature of this espionage organization, but at the same time, he couldn't avoid a headache: at present, Jinyiwei and Jing'an Cao have the same goal. Yes, it's not clear exactly what the stabbing Cao's intention is. Now that there is another Sun Ce's secret room, the whole Shouchun is like a pot of chaotic porridge. He really doesn't know how to deal with it.

This situation made Duanmu Zhengshuo feel hatred for Yuan Shu's incompetence for the first time.Among the three veteran forces that have launched spy wars, the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, they have always been tight inside and loose outside when dealing with spies.On the surface, the three families indulge in the flow of personnel, but they strictly guard against their own power groups, so the spy penetration of these three powers is also the most difficult.

But Yuan Shuming knew that intelligence warfare was a trend nowadays, but the strategy he adopted was really crude and incompetent, which was exactly the opposite of the three schools.Yuan Shu thought that since those spies were all sneaked in from the outside, it would be better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let a single one go.

As a result, as long as those spies have the right opportunity, they can easily confuse those humble soldiers, and even the easiest way to get away with a handful of copper coins.But people like Duanmu Zhengshuo and Liang Xi were already close to Yuan Shu's side, but Yuan Shu thought it was safe.

"Duanmu doctor needn't worry. In the past, when the king of Chu won the throne, his virtue was not his strength. Yuan Shu had no virtue to the people of Jianghuai, let alone the scholars of Han. He is so ignorant of advance and retreat, resorting to military force, that he has become the target of the world. .Even if the assassin Cao and Sun Ce will not support us, they will not deliberately expose our identities. Therefore, whether they are present or not has nothing to do with us."

Liang Xi patted Duanmu Zhengshuo on the shoulder. With these words, Duanmu Zhengshuo couldn't feel that Liang Xi was just a close room, but a sophisticated adviser.Involuntarily, Duanmu Zhengshuo continued to ask Liang Xi: "Then according to Your Excellency, after Shouchun, how should we plan?"

Liang Xi smiled slowly, like an expert in the world: "It's all about following the trend, this is a major family and country matter, and we may make some moves out of it, but if Yuan Shu still has a bit of reason, then everything is hopeless."

"Sensible?" Duanmu Zhengshuo's eyes froze slightly, no matter whether it makes people excited or depressed, he can use the power of the medicine stone.And if people are either hyperactive or depressed for a long time, then even if he wants to wake up, it may be very difficult.

What's more, Yuan Shu didn't have a corresponding spy system, and he didn't even know that Liang Xi was once Luo Jun's boss.As long as Liang Xi gains Yuan Shu's trust in the future, he will definitely encourage Yuan Shu to die.At that time, if he cooperates with Duanmu Zhengshuo's medicine skills, he is not afraid that Yuan Shu will not fall into the trap.

That's right, Duanmu Zhengshuo had already guessed that Liang Xi wanted him to drug Yuan Shu, and he also knew that Liang Xi would definitely confuse Yuan Shu in the future.In the duel of masters, the emphasis is on being so transparent, saying everything, but it is meaningless.

During these few days of chatting, Shouchun City was already in sight.When entering Shouchun City, both Duanmu Zhengshuo and Liang Xi chose to walk, and the reasons they used were exactly the same: they were bored after a long time in the car, so they came out to get some fresh air.

The two of them really intended, but they just wanted to see Shouchun's humanities with their own eyes.Although they all got a lot of information about Shouchun from their companions, the things on paper are not as real as their personal experiences.

Shouchun is not a strategically important place, but it is definitely a place where the big battles will be fought.This is a fertile land with clear water and fertile grass. Since King Kaolie of Chu was forced to invade by Qin in the Warring States Period, he moved his capital eastward to this place, which is called Yingdu.In the Qin Dynasty, Jiujiang County was established here. Emperor Han Gao belonged to Huainan State, and it was also called Jiujiang County later.

The sun is very bright today, reflecting on the sparkling lake, it always makes people fascinated. Looking up to the north, there is the famous Bagong Mountain with the legend of "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven". .

"Duanmu Yizheng, the lake in front is Shaopi. Originally, in the spring and Autumn period, the large reservoir built by Yin Gongshuao, the order of the state of Chu, was introduced into the Baishao Pavilion to form a lake in the east. It can irrigate tens of thousands of hectares. It has a radius of hundreds of miles and convenient waterways. It has been developed so far. It has become an important place for business exchanges between the north and the south. Gong Shuao’s move is to cherish the love of heaven and earth, and to collect the benefits of Jiuze, to enrich the country with Yin, and the family is rich and happy. He is worthy of being a generation of Yin at that time." Duanmu Zhengshuo said that his knowledge of books made Duanmu Zhengshuo regret once again that this person was too talented to be a spy.

However, since Liang Xi had spoken, Duanmu Zhengshuo had to respond anyway.This is not a personal honor or disgrace, but a matter of Jin Yiwei's austerity.Therefore, Duanmu Zhengshuo pondered for a long time before sighing: "With the precious blade in hand, it depends on who uses it. If Brother Liang gets the precious blade, after all, he will cleanse the treacherous evil and make a bright and bright world. But if the traitor is in hand, the precious blade may They all want to destroy themselves in the world."

As soon as the words fell, Liang Xi saw a group of soldiers rushing into the stone embankment of Shaopi, followed by a scene of violent extortion.Unarmed civilians were beaten and locked up by soldiers, while the rest of the vendors avoided like tigers. It can be seen that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Yuan Shu raised hundreds of wives, concubines and maidservants, lived a life of extravagance, and used to reward generals with large sums of money, so he had a great demand for money.Wherever he went, he had always levied violently, searched and exploited without restriction, and levied as many miscellaneous taxes as a cow's hair.Now guarding such a huge source of income as Shaopi, he still does not know how to repent and follow his example. I am afraid that within a few years, this city will be ruined by Yuan Shu.

"When I was in Jingzhou, Nanyang had a population of one million. They couldn't bear Yuan's tyranny. The people couldn't bear the tyranny, and the population flowed out one after another, so the power declined rapidly. Now that the army was defeated until Shouchun, he still died without repentance. Humiliation, it is really a disaster in the world!"

"It's more than just dying without repentance, I'm afraid it's getting worse..." Duanmu Zhengshuo stretched out his hand and pointed again, Liang Xi stretched out his eyes, and it turned out that several vagrants fought for a fruit that was gnawed and discarded by others. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and blood flowed profusely.But these children didn't even make a muffled cry, which shows that they have long been numb in such days.

Looking at the entire seemingly prosperous Shouchun, it is common to see such vagrants, all in ragged clothes in the cold spring season, with yellow and emaciated faces, and their limbs are like dry bamboo sticks.All day long they slipped through the crowd, struggling desperately for a little leftovers.

But these are just a part of Shouchun's death.Liang Xi even found out that he couldn't see a cardamom-aged woman in the entire Shouchun City!There are also faces passing by in a hurry, either sad, fierce, or simply desperate.

This is a dirty and ugly world, Liang Xi's blood filled his chest for a moment, wishing he could have a magic fire to burn out all the ominous and evil spirits in this city!
