Chapter seven hundred and seventy second turbulent undercurrent
That night, the senior official who came to watch Yuan Tan did not go back. He was secretly "detained" by Yuan Tan, and the military talisman used to command the Bingzhou army was taken away.
In the next few days, Yuan Tan was still recuperating on the surface, but secretly, he was sending people to the Bingzhou Army to discuss important matters with the high-ranking generals of the Bingzhou Army Camp.
Yuan Tan once stayed in Bingzhou for a period of time and was very familiar with the high-ranking generals in Bingzhou. Everyone knew that Yuan Tan and Gao Gan had an irreversible friendship. Now Gao Gan gave the military talisman to Yuan Tan and asked him to temporarily command the troops, but
It is also within reason.
However, it is not that simple to lead an army and make a battalion of soldiers obey you with just a tiger talisman. The soldiers are not stupid. It is unrealistic for you to bring a tiger talisman and want to control the wind and rain.
Two high-ranking generals from the Bingzhou Army disguised themselves and secretly lurked to Yuan Tan's residence in Yecheng, where they quietly met with senior officials.
After meeting the high officials and knowing the attitude of the family members from the side, the generals in Bingzhou no longer had any doubts and immediately prepared for the uprising according to Yuan Tan's command and arrangements.
Of course, not all generals would agree, but they were in the minority after all. Those disobedient generals were quietly controlled and digested within the Bingzhou Army.
Yecheng is about to fall into a bloody storm.
Yuan Tan was busy revolting, and Yuan Shang was not idle either.
He found Shenpei, discussed with him about Yuan Tan, and made a statement to Shenpei about what happened before the brothers returned to Yecheng.
After the judge finished listening, he was speechless for a long time.
"Mr. Zhengnan, now that Yuan Tan has been sent to Yecheng by his father, it is clear that my father is dissatisfied with me and intends to support him. Sir, we cannot just sit idly by and ignore this matter!"
There was still no answer from the judge.
"Sir, why don't you speak?" Yuan Shang looked very anxious and urged.
The judge then turned his head, stared at Yuan Shang sternly, and said, "Third Young Master, what did you have in mind when you planned to murder the eldest Young Master?"
"What...what am I thinking about?" Yuan Shang was a little frightened by the judge's expression, and he hesitated when speaking.
Shen Pei stood up, trembling all over, obviously a little angry: "The enemy is currently at a disadvantage, and all the battalions are at a disadvantage. At this time, you have selfish thoughts and broke the contract not to attack Zhou Tai with Yuan Tan, resulting in the defeat of the two battalions. How can you
I know that even if the general has a lot of love for you, just this one move can turn it all into nothing. You think you are smart, but in fact you are acting like a stupid pig!"
Yuan Shang was scolded by the judge and his face turned red with embarrassment.
This means that he now relies on Shen Pei for trouble. If it were his usual violent temper and Shen Pei dared to scold him like this, he would kick him to death.
But now, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Mr. Zhengnan, I know that I made a mistake, so please ask Mr. Zhengnan to make up for it for me."
This time, Shen Pei was also very angry with Yuan Shang. Whether it was public or private, Yuan Shang's behavior was too much.
There's nothing wrong with harming Yuan Tan, but don't you have to have separate occasions?
The pottery merchants are already difficult enough to deal with, but why are you compromising your own strength by engaging in internal strife?
Yuan Shao is not stupid either. It’s strange that he has no idea about you!
Shen Pei pondered for a long time and said: "Now that things have happened, you can't take action against Yuan Tan again, at least until the general drives back the pottery merchant."
Yuan Shang came to see Shen Pei today. The main purpose was to discuss with him how to kill Yuan Tan.
But the problem is, Shen Pei actually speaks for Yuan Tan as soon as he opens his mouth!
Yuan Shang was not happy about this.
The judge can call him a pig, but he can't help but take action against Yuan Tan.
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhengnan, Yuan Tan has come to Yecheng. He is recovering from his injuries, so he has not done much. But I know this man very well! He is not a toy at all! Just wait for him to recover.
, he will definitely make friends with nobles everywhere in Yecheng and expand his strength. If we don't do anything to him, we will be finished by then."
Shen Pei's mood has calmed down. He looked at the anxious Yuan Shang with a little sadness in his eyes.
"Third Young Master... Well, can you look further ahead! Now that the enemy is at the forefront, you are still engaging in these private fights... Your worries are completely unnecessary. With Shen here, which nobleman would dare
Are you colluding with Yuan Tan? You still don’t understand the general’s thoughts...Why are you so anxious about some things?”
Hearing this, Yuan Shang was very unconvinced and said: "Mr. Zhengnan, you don't know my father's physical condition..."
Shen Pei interrupted him directly and said: "I know the general's physical condition much better than the third young master. It is precisely because the general is not in good health that you should not make any arrogant actions."
Yuan Shang was completely confused: "Why is that?"
Shen Pei sighed: "The general is a wise man. He deliberately put you two in Yecheng at this juncture in order to observe you and select the most suitable successor. If you are at this time
If you are still ignorant, then just wait and see Yuan Tan become the Lord of Hebei!"
After saying this, Yuan Shang was stunned.
"Mr. Zhengnan...how did you know?"
Shen Pei said coldly: "There are some things that you don't need to know at all. You can figure it out by thinking about it. Now that the front line is tight, the general deliberately sent Ju Shou back to Yecheng. What is the purpose? Just to use him as a middleman.
Observing you, he will definitely pass on information about you two to the general at any time. This is the final test for your brothers by the general."
Yuan Shang looked very nervous: "How about I go and give Mr. Jushu some generous gifts as a token of appreciation?"
Shen Pei snorted coldly and said: "That person Jushou, like Tian Feng, doesn't do this. Sir, don't waste your efforts, just do your job well, and having Jushou look up to you is better than anything else."
"
Yuan Shang hesitated and said: "How can I make Jushou think highly of me?"
The judge said: "If you take the initiative to apologize to Yuan Tan, you will make him think highly of you!"
"What? Let me apologize to Yuan Tan! Impossible!" Yuan Shang roared angrily and almost turned over the desk in front of him.
But facing the cold eyes of the judge, he finally shrank his neck and said, "Even if I go to see Yuan Tan now, he may not be willing to see me."
Shen Pei smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. It will be my birthday in five days. At that time, I will invite my colleagues in Yecheng, including Ju Shou and Yuan Tan, to have a banquet in the house. The third young master will then attend the meeting in front of the civil and military officials in Yecheng."
He apologized to Yuan Tan face to face to gain the upper hand. Not only would the Yecheng Civil and Military Association praise the young master for being a virtuous corporal, but Ju Shou would also re-examine the young master. However, Yuan Tan would show weakness by not compromising under the young master's apology.
It will show that he is not broad-minded, and Ju Shou will not say good things about him to the general. At that time, he will be the only one in trouble."
Yuan Shang was dumbfounded by Ju Shang's plan... When this man was educating him just now, he was full of righteous words, but when things came to pass, Yuan Shang felt that he was worse, more hateful, and less human than himself.
But their strategy is very subtle and leaves no clues to others, and it can trick the other side without compromising one's own strength.
