A man came to Jushou's house at night and reported the situation to him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that person, Jushou immediately put down the book in his hand and frowned involuntarily.
"Someone has intervened. They are investigating the palace guard captain Zhou Zheng. In addition, Jinwu Liu Tiao is also under investigation. As for Mr. Huo, someone is also investigating his whereabouts. There are also more people outside the mansion of Cao Cao and Liu Biao.
people."
The man clasped his fists at Jushou and directly told him everything he had learned.
"After investigating so many people at the same time, it seems that this person has a good background. I understand."
Jushou was stunned for a moment when he heard what the man said, and then he immediately understood what it meant.
"Then what should we do?
Who is this group of people? Do you need me to conduct a reverse investigation and find him out?"
Looking at Jushu's expressionless face, Yuan Qi, who was in charge of the ANBU, was also stunned, not knowing what Jushu meant.
"It's okay, just stay put. What we did before is what we should do now. As for the group of people who just appeared, I believe they will disappear soon."
Jushou shook his head slightly. He had already guessed whose power these people belonged to, so he was not in any hurry.
"No, I'll make arrangements right away."
When Yuan Qi heard Jushu's order, she did not dare to neglect it. She directly clasped her fists and accepted the order. Then she quietly left Jushu's mansion and disappeared into the night.
"Come here, prepare your horses, I'm going to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion."
After Yuan Qi left, Jushou directly asked people to prepare horses.
"My lord, Mr. Jushou would like to see you."
Jushou came over, and Dianwei came directly to inform Yuan Shu.
"Jushu is here?
Dian Wei, did your people expose their target?"
Hearing that Jushu came over in the middle of the night, Yuan Shu knew that something must have happened, and the closest thing to him now was what Yuan Ji said.
"Probably not. My people are investigating very covertly and it is impossible to be discovered."
Dian Wei glanced at Yuan Shu. In his opinion, it was impossible for anyone to discover him.
"Look, let Jushou come in."
Seeing Dian Wei's retort, Yuan Shu smiled slightly and asked him to invite Ju Shu in.
"promise."
Dian Wei clasped his fists and left directly, bringing in Jushou who was waiting outside.
"Lord."
Jushou walked in and saluted Yuan Shu directly with his fists clasped.
"Well, there must be something wrong if you come here in the middle of the night."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou and smiled directly at him.
"My lord is wise, Jushu has come here for something."
"How about you don't say anything first and let me guess?"
Hearing Jushou's affirmative answer, Yuan Shu became more and more certain that it was Dian Wei's person who had been exposed.
"Then Jushou was all ears."
Jushou's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he was now more and more certain that the group of people Yuan Qi mentioned should be the ones sent by Yuan Shu.
"The little emperor is a little uneasy, isn't he?
And you have made corresponding arrangements and want to play a long game to catch the big fish. As for who the big fish is, I think besides the little emperor, they should be Liu Biao and Cao Cao. Am I right?"
Both of them knew each other well and thought about each other, so Yuan Shu had nothing to hesitate and directly said everything he was thinking.
"My lord is my lord after all, how do you know my plan?
And how did you realize that your people had been discovered?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, although Ju Shou guessed that he might know, he didn't expect that he knew all about his arrangements and ideas, which surprised him.
"Haha, as soon as you came here at night, I guessed that the people arranged by Dian Wei must have been discovered by the people you arranged, and you also guessed the identities of Dian Wei's people, otherwise you would definitely not come here now,
Since you were able to discover this without revealing anything, it must have been planned for a long time. The reason why you did this must be because you wanted to fish. And the only people in Xindu City who can let you do this are Liu Jingsheng and Cao Mengde. I can think of these.
Not surprising.”
Yuan Shu looked at Ju Shou and directly expressed his thoughts. It was just a logical inference and a reverse inference. In fact, it was no big deal.
"My lord is right, I am indeed planning, and the targets are indeed Liu Biao and Cao Cao. I arranged for Master Huo Yinghuo to pretend to contact the young emperor, hoping to help him overthrow you and ascend to the throne.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was indeed fooled, and not only gave him the imperial edict on clothing, but also asked him to go to Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and even your father-in-law, Cai Yong Cai, on his behalf."
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu and directly told all the current situation.
"How are they? How did they respond?"
Yuan Shu also frowned after hearing Ju Shou's words. This was actually what he feared most. If it was just wishful thinking of the Han Emperor, it would be enough to scratch his head if he really joined forces with Cao Cao and Liu Biao to cause trouble.
"Master Huo Ying came to visit several times with Emperor Xian's robes and imperial edicts, but Liu Biao and Cao Cao avoided seeing him. Obviously they thought it was impossible to do something in Xindu, but your father-in-law, Cai Yong,
Master Cai is different, he is very close to Master Huo Ying."
Ju Shou directly told Yuan Shu the general situation. Cao Cao and Liu Biao had no problem, but your father-in-law was very close to them. As a son-in-law, you should be careful.
"Don't worry about Cai Yong. He has no power. Even if he wanted to help the Han Emperor, he was powerless. But Cao Cao and Liu Biao really didn't contact Huo Ying?
This needs to be investigated strictly.”
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou. Cai Yong didn't have any great ambitions. He and Huo Ying probably got along because they had similar temperaments. It didn't matter. But to say the least, even if Cai Yong really wanted to betray him, he wouldn't.
It's just a tack and of no use at all.
"Okay, please, my lord, please withdraw the people you sent out. Don't alert the enemy, otherwise all the previous arrangements will be wasted. In addition, the lord, Mr. Cai Yong, must not let the clues slip."
Jushu knew what to do without Yuan Shu's advice, so what he wanted now was for Yuan Shu to quickly withdraw his men without Cai Yong noticing.
"Dianwei, stop being a cat outside and come in."
After hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shu directly shouted out.
"Lord, military advisor."
Dian Wei naturally heard what they said, and after coming in, he greeted them with a slumped face.
"Tell all your people to withdraw."
Yuan Shu glanced at Dian Wei and directly asked him to withdraw him.
"I can withdraw my men, but as a military advisor, I don't think they have shown any clues. How did your people notice them?"
Dian Wei naturally heard Yuan Shu's words that it didn't matter if people retreated, but he wanted to know how he lost. If he didn't know this time, he might lose again next time.
"General Dian Wei, there are some things that cannot be detected by others simply by taking some concealment measures. I admit that your people are well hidden, but my advantage is that the layout lasted long enough.
Maybe a beggar on the street or a waiter in a wine shop is one of my people. If this is the case, it will be difficult for your people not to show off."
Facing Dian Wei's question, Jushou smiled slightly. As he said, before Liu Biao and Cao Cao entered Xindu, the people around them had all been arranged. It can be said that their every move was under Jushou's supervision.
Down,
Not only Cao Cao and Liu Biao, they also investigated anyone who came close to their residence. Therefore, what Dian Wei thought was foolproof was just an appearance. Deep down, they were discovered by their own people as soon as they appeared there.
"I understand. My poor lord, I originally thought that the military advisor didn't notice this, but I didn't expect that the clown turned out to be me. I really learned a lesson."
After hearing Ju Shou's explanation, Dian Wei had nothing to say. They had already surrounded Cao Cao and Liu Biao's residence and surrounded Zongzi. Anyone who entered would be exposed, so he was defeated without regret.
"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, Dianwei's people will evacuate immediately and will not disturb your fishing plan. Remember, you have to kill a good person, but you cannot let a bad person go. Do you understand?"
Since this matter has been explained clearly, it doesn't matter. He believes that Jushou will definitely give him a satisfactory answer.
"Jushou understands that if nothing happens, I will leave."
Jushou cupped his fists at Yuan Shu and turned around to leave.
"Okay, don't be stunned, and quickly withdraw those people."
"promise."
After a night of silence, all the people arranged by Dian Wei evacuated, and the residences of Cao Cao and Liu Biao returned to their previous appearance.
"Lord, everyone outside has evacuated."
Cao Ren came to Cao Cao and reported to him what he had learned.
"Whose are these people?
Can you guess it?"
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"I can't guess, but these people are very elite, and they have a murderous spirit when marching. They are definitely elite soldiers. If I had to guess, Yuan Shu has come back recently, and they may be his bodyguards."
Cao Ren thought for a moment. Although he didn't know who the other party was, he could roughly guess it.
"Zhicai, what do you think?"
After hearing Cao Ren's analysis, Cao Cao looked directly at Xi Zhicai on the other side.
"Zixiao's analysis is very reasonable, and I feel that the new arrivals are probably Yuan Shu's guards. He has just given birth to a son and a daughter. The situation of the Jizhou army has been stabilized. Now he is sending someone over. I guess it should be Huo
Ying’s affair was exposed.”
Xi Zhicai not only guessed that those people were guards, but also guessed why they came to him. Although they had surrendered to Yuan Shu, they still had the necessary qualities.
"Now it seems that Huo Ying's situation is exactly as I expected. He is a fraud."
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai and directly expressed his thoughts.
"My lord, what you mean is that Huo Ying is Yuan Shu's man, and his coming here now is actually a tool to test us. So you just ignored Huo Ying and didn't give him a chance to meet?"
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Ren realized that all this was Yuan Shu's fault.
"Yuan Shu is making a move?
You think too much,
If it was his fault, those soldiers wouldn't have appeared. This must have been Jushou's fault. Otherwise, every move in Xindu would not have been hidden from his eyes. How could a Huo Ying have jumped so far?
Can we still bring out the clothing and belt edict from the emperor?"
