At this time, Yuan Shang, the nominal master of the Yuan clan, felt a little nervous. He hurriedly reminded the Yecheng Ling Shen Pei next to him.
"According to reports from scouts, Cao Cao has gone north again. It will probably take more than a month to reach Yecheng. What we lack most now is not soldiers, but military supplies, food and grass... Every time I think of this, I feel extremely disgusting, and
Brother, the first battle consumed almost all of our army’s baggage, so the only plan for now is to steal some money from these wealthy businessmen.”
Shen Pei's expression was also very solemn. Didn't he know the current situation in Yecheng? Cao Cao's withdrawal caused brothers to kill each other and both sides suffered losses. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jizhou today is in danger.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a trick, a conspiracy...
A conspiracy that understands the weakness of the Yuan brothers!
The key to not getting in is money and food. As long as there is money and food, if they can't hold on, they may not be able to bring down Cao Cao... And the main premise of all this is to gain money!
This requires some means.
"Don't worry, my lord." The judge's expression was still very serious... "I have made arrangements for the Zhen family. The informant has stolen the seal of 'Shang Cai Ling'. This time, he broke the news. He Zhen Yi
Losing the seal and ribbon is a serious crime of beheading! If you use this as a threat, you won’t be afraid that he won’t donate the family’s money! The northern clans and people will not complain!”
"That's good." Yuan Shang took a long breath, he was always at ease when it came to reviewing and matching matters.
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang stood up, leaned against the window, and looked to the west in the distance...
Murmured in the mouth.
"I hope we can withstand Cao Cao's offensive and buy time to open up the second battlefield in the west. Speaking of which... Guo Yuan, Gao Gan, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu... tomorrow night we should cross the Yellow River to join Ma Teng's army to attack Chang'an, right?
?”
Huh... let out a long breath.
It seems that thinking of the second battlefield in the west, Yuan Shang's mood suddenly became a little brighter.
"This move to surround Wei and save Zhao, I hope it will work!"
"Lord, don't worry!" The judge's expression was still serious and his words were meticulous. "Ye City will definitely be defended, and the second battlefield will be a sharp blade piercing Cao Cao's heart... When Cao Cao's army retreats, it will be our turn to storm the clouds.
Defeat Yuan Tan and restore the former glory of the Yuan family!"
Sonorous, every word of the review is extremely sonorous...
It is true that in terms of making plans, he is not a first-class judge, but in terms of loyalty, his loyalty to the Yuan family is as good as heaven and earth.
"hope so!"
Yuan Shang slowly raised his eyes and looked into the void...
I hope everything goes according to plan... Give him Yuan Shang and the Yuan family some breathing time!
In the past few years, I don't know why, but I always feel like there is an invisible hand controlling everything... It even makes him unable to breathe...
Carrying it, luck really comes home!
At this moment…
"The report...is bad." A guard hurriedly broke into the government office and reported. "Lord, Zhen's Mansion...Zhen's Mansion is on fire!"
What?
Yuan Shang and Shen Pei were both shocked? Is the Zhen Mansion on fire? Why didn't it catch on fire earlier or later, but why did it catch on fire at this time?
Could it be that... because Zhen Yi lost the official seal of "Shang Cai Ling", she planned to burn it all together? It seems... that she shouldn't fight so hard!
For a moment, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei looked at each other...with question marks on each other's foreheads.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Zhen family?
…
…
Yecheng, Zhen Mansion.
Looking at the fire that suddenly broke out in the backyard...
Listening to the panicked shouts and howls of people in the courtyard.
Zhen Yao felt a little sad. His beautiful backyard was burned down like this. He was heartbroken!
Hahaha…
Guo Jia laughed out loud and patted Zhen Yao on the shoulder, "As the saying goes, the old will not go and the new will not come in. This fire comes just in time! Brother Zhen Yao, please stop being sentimental."
Some consolation.
Behind Guo Jia and Zhen Yao, the Zhen family's second daughter Zhen Tuo, third daughter Zhen Dao, and fourth daughter Zhen Rong looked at each other. In addition to being frightened and pale, they all had question marks on their faces!
This Guo Jia proposed to his father and third brother what the specific plan was. They didn't know, but... just as he proposed the plan, the backyard was a sea of fire. Isn't this too coincidental?
"Mr. Guo, is this...is this also part of the plan?" Zhen Tuo, the second daughter of the Zhen family, asked curiously.
"Hahaha..." Guo Jia smiled slightly. He pointed to the raging fire burning in the backyard and said with a firm tone, "Yes...he has Zhang Liangji in mind. We have a wall ladder. He can send people secretly."
If we steal the big seal, we can pass the blame to the thief... Let's see how this craftsman hidden in Zhen's Mansion deals with this chaotic situation?"
The thief mentioned by Guo Jia, the hidden secret agent is named Lao Hu... He is the adjutant of Zhen Yi in Shang Cai Ling, and he has followed Zhen Yi from a long time ago.
but…
After what Zhen Tuo said and a detailed investigation, Guo Jia had determined that this old Hu was the spy sent by Yuan Shang and Shen Pei.
Now that this is determined, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
"Mr. Guo, can you...can you explain it more clearly?"
"That's right..."
"Can this fire really bring back the Great Seal?"
The daughters of the Zhen family chattered to each other like birds on the treetops chattering incessantly.
"Ha ha!"
Completely different from the panic of several Zhen family girls, Guo Jia laughed out loud again, looking confident.
"Don't worry, girls. After this fire is over, Cai Ling's big seal will be returned to its original owner..."
Um...this...
Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and the three women still don't believe it. Not to mention they don't believe it, even Zhen Yao doesn't believe it.
Seeing those questioning looks on their cheeks...
Guo Jia suddenly thought of something. "Well, seeing as you are so skeptical, how about I make a bet with you? I'll bet on whether the official seal of 'Shang Cai Ling' will be returned to its original owner after this fire!"
"What if you lose the bet?" Zhen Rong asked.
"That depends on the girl's orders." Guo Jia waved his hand, looking very free and easy.
"What if you win the bet?" Zhen Rong asked next, and Guo Jia laughed "haha", "Then I have to ask Uncle Zhen for a marriage..."
Um...this...
Guo Jia's words sounded frivolous, but he seemed confident and confident.
All of a sudden, the pretty faces of the three girls of the Zhen family all blushed...
This talented man from Yingchuan is so... so bad, but... but if he can really solve the Zhen family's catastrophe! Then... then one of their sisters married him, so what's the reason?
At least, although this Guo Jia is bohemian, he is not annoying, right...
"Hahaha…"
Before the three daughters of the Zhen family could agree, Guo Jia laughed again. "If the girls don't say anything, I'll take it as my acquiescence!"
When he said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the adjutants and entourage who hurried into the main hall of Zhen's Mansion, shouting, "Look, girls, the fish is about to take the bait."
While he was speaking, Guo Jia's eyes were already looking at the adjutant named "Old Hu", and a sharp edge suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Zhen Yao's thoughts changed rapidly. He hoped... I hoped that Brother Yi would be able to figure things out and arrange for Brother Guo Jia to really... really be able to help the Zhen family survive this disaster!
