Chapter 339 Determine who is the traitor in the Central Plains
The battle of "attacking Niuzhu openly and crossing waste rocks secretly" ended with a dramatic ending.In this battle, Sun Can's army was defeated by tactics, and almost every step was in the enemy's calculations.But Sun Ce's army didn't gain any benefits, because the relationship between the telescope made Pang Tong's excellent tactics useless, and he couldn't capture and kill Sun Can, so that he sacrificed the lives of [-] soldiers in vain.

With heavy steps, Sun Can returned to Jiangbei. It was already dawn at that time. After finishing the chores of returning to the camp, he sat alone in the center of the commander's tent with his eyes closed and meditated, thinking about the dramatic battle not long ago. He couldn't help but clenched his fist tightly.There was one thing in my mind.

Although the strategy of my own expedition this time is not brilliant, it is not that if you guess it well, you will be guessed.What's more, the other party is setting up many ambushes, intending to kill himself and himself.This is by no means accidental, someone must have leaked his own strategy and informed the other party of his plan, so that the other party was able to set up this seamless situation.

Although I don't want to believe that there is a traitor under my command, but at this moment, I can't let him not believe it.

"Who is this person?" One by one, the figures scattered from his mind.

Liu Hua, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Lu Su or Zhang Fei, Fan Wu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhou Yu?
It can't be them, I have always treated them well, and never treated them badly.They have no reason to betray themselves.However, a few of them were present at that military meeting, so who else would they be?
"Could it be him?" A small, dark young man wearing a scarf appeared in Sun Can's eyes.

"Come here, bring Master Jia to me!" After a long time, Sun Can decided to ask Jia Xu to see if he had any clues.He has three intelligence offices under his command, namely "Secret Camp", "Business Alliance" and "Poison Camp".Among them, the "secret camp" has the smallest number of people, but the strongest strength. They are all used to perform special tasks and are not commonly used.The "Business League" is slightly inferior to the "Secret Camp", but it is the most widely spread, and traveling merchants can travel all over the world. Their main task is to observe the movements of other princes.The "Poison Camp" is the weakest, but no one dares to underestimate it. It is the exact opposite of the "Business Alliance". The "Business League" is external, but the "Poison Camp" is internal. The usual task is to search for the enemy's spies, espionage, and capture criminals in the army.

If there were real traitors, Jia Xu should know more or less.

In just a moment, Jia Xu's voice begging to see him came from outside.

Sun Can put everything down first, and said with a smile: "Wen He came so fast!"

Jia Xu saluted first, and then said: "My lord summons me, I dare not neglect you." In fact, when Sun Can returned to the camp, he had already expected that Sun Can would definitely summon him, so he waited in the camp all the time.

Sun Can asked with a serious face, "Wen He, what do you think of this defeat?"

Jia Xu looked at Sun Can and said, "The traitor!"

Sun Can knew the consultant and said, "How can I see that?"

Jia Xu continued: "In this battle, the opponent has set up a net to target the lord everywhere. They even spent tens of thousands of troops to delay Gongjin's navy in order to achieve their goal. It shows that they know the whereabouts of the lord like the back of their hands. If someone did not leak the secret, the opponent would It's absolutely impossible to do that."

"Then who do you think is the most suspect?" Sun Can's face gradually turned ugly. He was just suspicious at first, but after hearing what Jia Xu said, he was sure that there must be a traitor in the army.Presumably, Guo Jia and others also thought of this point. The reason why they didn't say it was because the situation was unpredictable. If the news was made public, it would probably make the generals in the army suspect each other, cause discord among the generals, and cause turmoil.

In order to prevent the situation from changing, this traitor must be resolved as soon as possible.

Jia Xu already had some ideas in his mind, and said, "This person is probably Shang Nan, the deputy general under General Zhang Liao's command?"

Sure enough, it was him. Sun Can's heart moved. The person he suspected was Shang Nan. Therefore, when he was at the rocky beach, he began to prevent Zhang Liaojun from any chance to get close to the enemy. Because of this, Zhang Liao hid in the rear, preventing Zhang Liao from joining the battle, so as to prevent Shang Nan, who was probably a traitor, from escaping.

Sun Can was silent for a while, and said to the guard outside the door: "Chief guard, go and call Mr. Feng Xiao."

Guo Jia had also been waiting for Sun Can's summoning, and he didn't take a break, and soon came to the handsome tent.

Sun Can didn't greet him politely, and immediately asked, "What happened to Shang Nan?"

Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment. Could it be that the traitor was really Shang Nan? After thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. The people who attended the meeting that day were all people who had followed Sun Can for more than five years. There was no possibility that they were traitors. Everyone is a person who knows the priorities and will not reveal the battle plan.

The only one who had a chance to reveal it was Zhang Liao. Of course, it wasn't that Zhang Liao was not tight-lipped, but that he was familiar with the terrain. Sun Can specially ordered him to survey the nearby terrain and prepare for the surprise attack.Of course, it is impossible to do this by one person, and it is very likely that Shang Nan is one of them.

Knowing the importance of the matter, Guo Jia replied truthfully: "General Wenyuan met Shangnan a month ago. It was in Qu'a County at that time. Going back to Huainan. Having a quick meal at a tavern in Qu’e County, Yan Baihu’s younger brother, Yan Yu, was robbing civilian girls in the street. General Wenyuan was not worried, and planned to help. However, his subordinates felt that in troubled times, one day in our Han territory Thousands of such things happened in China, and one person's power is limited after all. At that time, we were in a dangerous situation, and we could not reveal our identities.

After hearing this, General Wen Yuan was displeased, but he did not act.At this moment, Shang Nan jumped out from the crowd, stopped Yan Yu's actions, and fought with Yan Yu.Shang Nan's martial arts skills are extraordinary, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals are no match for him.However, Qu'e County is Yan Yu's territory after all, with many people and powerful forces.After a while, more than 500 militia generals came.Shang Nan's two fists were no match for four hands, and he survived the danger.

Seeing Shang Nan's extraordinary martial arts skills and being quite chivalrous, I thought of loving talent, not to mention that General Wen Yuan also endured the appearance of wanting to make a move but forcing himself not to do so.At that time, Jia simply let go of his hands and feet, directly asked General Wen Yuan to kill Yan Yu, rescue Shang Nan, and then escaped together while taking advantage of the chaos.In this way, not only can the anger in General Wen Yuan's heart be calmed down, but it is also possible to find a talent with both loyalty and bravery for the Lord, and get the best of both worlds. "

Sun Can listened and nodded. If he would do it himself, he could understand Guo Jia's thoughts at the time.

Guo Jia went on to say: "Yan Yu is Yan Baihu's younger brother and the second leader of Danyang County. At that time, the pursuers were very tight. We fled to the north with three people and two horses. Shang Nan's archery skills are very good. He We rode together with General Wen Yuan, one was a rough horse, and the other was an archer. They cooperated seamlessly. Once he got into the range, Shang Nan could shoot him to death, so that no one dared to approach him, but followed behind. He fled all the way to the river, After the fisherman by the river heard about our affairs, he enthusiastically drove us across the river and escaped a catastrophe.

Jiang Shangjia once asked him about the art of war, but he didn't expect that Shang Nan could memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War" by heart at a young age, and he also spoke clearly and logically.Although it is all on paper, some words are also quite insightful.As long as it is carved carefully, it can also become a useful talent.So, let him join our army.

Maybe it's God's will, the upright Wen Yuan and the rough-spoken, cheerful and active Shang Nan are inseparable, they hit each other very well, and later they became brothers. "

Sun Can asked, "Where is this Shangnan from?"

Guo Jia replied: "According to his introduction, he is from Shangjia Village, Fuchun, Jiangdong Wujun."

Sun Can looked at Jia Xu again, Zhang Liao was a pillar of the army, and Shang Nan did not serve in the army before, so it is understandable that Jia Xu did not know about his situation, but now Shang Nan is already a member of the army, and his background is different. It is very clear that if Jia Xu still doesn't know him well at this moment, it will be his dereliction of duty.

When Jia Xu saw Sun Can looking at him, he immediately showed a wry smile, and said, "Wu County is more than ten days away from us, and there are many barriers along the way, not to mention that Shangjia Village is only a small village. How can it be so easy to investigate? There is still no news from the spies sent out!"

Sun Can could only sigh secretly after hearing this.

After a long time, Sun Can asked: "So we can't be sure whether Shang Nan is really a traitor. According to the two of you, how should we deal with this matter?"

"According to the usual practice, death should be executed immediately, as a warning to others." Jia Xu's eyes were shining with deceit, and he said: "But my subordinates do not agree with this approach. A person is alive, and his life is worth living. If he is killed, what will we do?" You won't get any benefits, and it doesn't make any sense. It's better to keep him and use him to do things for us."

Sun Can nodded solemnly, and said, "Wen He's idea is good, tell me about your plan."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "We have to do two things now. First, confirm whether Shangnan has secretly communicated with the enemy. Second, find a way to use Shangnan to spread false news, so as to help our army invade the hinterland of Jiangdong."

"What Wen He said is indeed reasonable, but it is very difficult to implement it.!" Sun Can frowned.

Jia Xu went on to say: "It is not difficult to do the first point. As long as the lord transfers Shang Nan out of the camp, we can sneak into Shang Nan's camp and search carefully. It is not difficult to find some clues. As for how to use Shang Nan to pass on false The news, my subordinates have no perfect plan yet, and I don’t know where to start for the time being.”

At this time, Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Jia has a plan. Maybe he can use Shang Nan to hide the truth from Pang Tong, so as to occupy the natural danger of the Yangtze River."
