Chapter 345
Two months later, the topic of Yangzhou Inspector's wedding gradually faded away from the common people's hot spots after dinner. At this time, the envoys sent by the princes also returned to their own territory one after another, reporting to their lord the situation in Yangzhou.

Yuzhou, Runan, the hall of the prefect's mansion.

boom!Phew! ! !boom!Phew! ! !
A few Yuzhou officials were kneeling in front of Yuan Shu at this moment, their foreheads were still dripping with blood, they were hit by Yuan Shu with a wine glass just now, they didn't dare to dodge, they could only swallow these few throws forcefully.

"Wanxiang died in Moling, my most powerful military adviser?..." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said with a very angry tone.

"Master..." A Yuzhou official who was kneeling on the ground twitched at this moment, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said slowly to Yuan Shu: "My lord, Master Wan, Master Wan was sent by Yuan Shao's envoy Guo Tu." Killed."

"What? You said that my people were killed by that concubine of Yuan Shao? What a bastard!" After hearing the explosive news, Yuan Shu became more emotional, and his voice was several times louder than before.

"Yes, my lord. People from the Yangzhou Army found Guo Tu and Master Wan's corpses together in a teahouse. Guo Tu was also knocked unconscious at that time." Another official also took courage at this time, Report to Yuan Shuhui.

"Wait a minute, you said Guo Tu was knocked unconscious?" A middle-aged man next to Yuan Shu interrupted at this moment. He was also another counselor of Yuan Shu, Chen Ji.

"Yes, military advisor." The Yuzhou official said.

"Tell me about the situation in detail." Chen Ji said calmly.

So the official gave a rough account of the ins and outs of the whole matter, and Chen Ji and Yuan Shu's faces became uglier the more they heard it.The official said that at the end, Yuan Shu had already turned his head away from listening to the official, only Chen Ji was still listening with a gloomy face.

After the official finished speaking, Chen Ji immediately said to Yuan Shu: "My lord, it seems that this matter is far from as simple as imagined!"

After Yuan Shu heard about it, he said angrily: "What is simple and not simple? Now it is clear that Yuan Shao, a concubine, and Cao Aman joined forces to kill me. What else can I say. Someone called some generals... I Raise an army and attack them!"

Chen Ji hastily stopped him and said: "My lord, don't be impulsive. The situation in Yuzhou is not stable now, so it is not suitable to use troops, and I think there are still many tricks in this matter!"

"What's so tricky? Isn't this fact already in front of you?" Yuan Shu said angrily.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that Zhao Lei is also responsible for this matter, and they may not be sure, the whole series of things were planned by Zhao Lei alone." Chen Ji said.

These words aroused Yuan Shu's interest, and asked, "Oh? Come and listen to me."

"Master, the current situation is that our subordinates said that Guo Tu killed the person, but Guo Tu claimed that Cao Cao's emissary sent him to the teahouse, but Cao Cao's emissary Xun Yu said that he had no contact with Guo Tu at all, nor Ask Guo Tu to go to some teahouse. Since then, the three of us have formed a chain. Once this chain is formed, who will be the biggest beneficiary is Zhao Lei. And this time, due to the tragic accident of Master Wan, we and Liu Biao and Liu Bei in Jingzhou cannot form an alliance. Combining all these reasons, Zhao Lei is very likely to be the manipulator of this farce!" Chen Ji said.

"Are you sure, Chen Ji?" Yuan Shu asked doubtfully.

Chen Jichao cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shu: "I'm not sure, my lord, I can't believe anyone's words nowadays, my subordinates can only say that it is possible to kill anyone in Wanxiang, so what my lord is doing now is not to start a war with any family, nor to form an alliance with any family." , put up troops and garrison the fields, and develop our own strength, only then can we compete with these princes!"

After hearing Chen Ji's analysis, Yuan Shu finally nodded his head, clenched his fists, and said to himself, one day you will be sent to hell one by one.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, like Yuan Shu, were conducting analysis in full swing.The conclusion reached is the same as Yuan Shu's.

Yanzhou, Chenliu, the prefect's mansion.

"My lord, we are now in a stalemate with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, thanks to Zhao Lei." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect to be friendly with these two people. Wen Ruo, we can't live in Yanzhou forever. If we want to compete in the Central Plains, war with Er Yuan is inevitable."

"My lord is wise, what my subordinates have heard from Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei seems to want to make friends with us." Xun Yu said.

"Zhao Lei is a smart man. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, Liu Zhang, and Ma Teng. Only Zhao Lei, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian are the strongest on my road to great success." The stumbling block, especially Zhao Lei, I always feel that this person is unfathomable, and among the three, he is also the strongest." Cao Cao said.

"Then what do you think about the alliance?" Xun Yu said.

"Jie, why don't we form an alliance? Hehe, anyway, we have offended Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, so it would be nice to have an ally like Zhao Lei," Cao Cao said.

"But didn't my lord say that Zhao Lei is your worst enemy?" Xun Yu asked.

"Wen Ruo, this has nothing to do with being an enemy. Zhao Lei and I have formed an alliance at this moment, which is beneficial to both of us. After Zhao Lei unified Yangzhou, his next goal must be Jingzhou and Yizhou. While I am in Yanzhou, I want to contend with the two Yuans. Since the goals are different, why can’t we form a short-term alliance? If my inferences are true, ten years later, I believe I We will divide the world with Zhao Lei, and we will draw the Yangtze River with him." Cao Cao said.

"My subordinates understand that when Zhao Lei annexes Jingzhou and Yizhou, he will definitely have a war with the other two powerful enemies of the lord, Liu Bei and Sun Jian. This is equivalent to indirectly destroying the enemy for the lord!" Xun Yu laughed. .

"In terms of talents, I have Wenruo and Gongda in literature, and I can't lose to Zhao Lei's Zhang Han and Jia Xu. In terms of martial arts, I have Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yu Jin and others. Although they are no match for Zhao Yun, but In terms of numbers, Zhao Lei doesn't have to be small. Plus, the forces around me are not too strong, so on the road to fighting for the world, my level with Zhao Lei is still about the same, and this alliance with Zhao Lei is a correct choice." Cao Cao said.

"The lord has already thought about the overall situation, and this subordinate admires it!" Xun Yu said.

Xun Yu's praise made Cao Cao smile slightly, and at the same time the smile was full of confidence.

Jingzhou, Jiangxia, Sheriff's Mansion.

"My lord, the officials under Liu Biao are almost settled. I believe that the real power of the entire Jingzhou will belong to us soon." Xu Shu said to Liu Bei.

"The military master has a clever plan, and I have a military master, like a fish in water!" Liu Bei laughed.

"Brother, after we take Jingzhou, we must raise troops to conquer Yangzhou and kill Zhao Lei." Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei looked at the scars on Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's faces, and sighed, "This enmity must be avenged."

"My lord, I'm afraid the day when we will start a war with Zhao Lei is not far away," Xu Shu said.

"Oh? Military division, why did you see that?" Liu Bei asked, and after hearing the news, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were eager to try.

"This time, Zhao Lei's strategist Zhang Han designed a series of tricks that successfully mobilized Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, making their relationship tense. But Zhao Lei didn't use tricks against us, which means that the breath of war will be getting closer and closer to Jingzhou According to the estimates of his subordinates, among the three families, Cao Cao is likely to form an alliance with Zhao Lei, and then go to compete with Yuan Shu for the land of Yuzhou with peace of mind. Yuan Shao will fight with Gongsun Zan. In this way, the conclusion that Zhao Lei and Jingzhou will go to war can also be established. "Xu Shu Said.

"Military Master, if Zhao Lei comes to attack, can he be sure to win?" Liu Bei asked.

"So what? So what if you don't? Anyway, it's always going to be hit." Xu Shu said.

"Oh, what the military adviser said is right, the battle between Zhao Lei and I will be fought sooner or later." Liu Bei sighed.

"However, Zhao Lei's Yangzhou and Shanyue have not been resolved. We also have such and other problems in Jingzhou. One year, one year later, maybe it will be the day of war!" Xu Shu said.

Yangzhou, Moling, the hall of the Governor's Mansion.

"It's been a month, and the ears are finally quiet. Man, I think your plan this time is quite good. Although the princes can see through this series of tricks, it's not easy to pierce it." Zhao Lei said.

"Hehe, those who came to our door, of course we should make good use of them. Now the Central Plains is no longer a threat to us, Xiaolei, our next step is to set up troops, cultivate them, and then conquer Shanyue. The next step is to go west The Jingzhou in front has expanded." Zhang Han said.

Zhao Lei nodded and looked towards the west side of the hall, as if it had become his possession.
