Volume 10 Chapter 151

Fengyang.

On this day, Shao Yu took the initiative to find Shao Jun and Cai Gui as usual, and had a drink and fun. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Shao Yu was still in high spirits, and asked people to find singers and dancers to perform for everyone.

However, Shao Yu soon found that only he and Shao Jun were the most devoted at the scene, while Cai Gui sighed and shook his head. Shao Yu was puzzled, put down the wine glass, and asked Cai Gui: "Is there anything worrying about Mr. Cai?"

Cai Gui looked up at Shao Yu, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and drank the wine in the glass clean. Seeing his expression of wanting to say something but not being able to, Shao Yu felt even more confused. He leaned towards Cai Gui and said, "I wonder what Mr. Cai has to hide?"

Cai Gui lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I am sighing for Mr. Shao."

Shao Yu was stunned and said blankly, "What do you mean?"

Cai Gui said, "Mr. Shao is in great trouble, and he still doesn't know it?"

Shao Jun, who was enjoying the singing and dancing performance, was shocked when he heard this. He put down his wine glass, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and looked at Cai Gui without blinking. Shao Yu frowned, suppressed his unhappiness, and asked, "I am fine now, why did Mr. Cai say that I am in great trouble?"

Cai Gui blinked and looked around. Shao Yu understood, clapped his hands, stopped the singing and dancing performance, and then waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You all go down!"

The singing and dancing girls, servants, and maids in the hall left one after another, and only a few of Shao Yu's personal guards stayed. At this time, Cai Gui slowly said, "This morning, the king sent someone to Fengyang to bring me a letter. Lord Shao should know about this, right?"

In the morning, a Feng person came to Fengyang to deliver a letter to Cai Gui, but Shao Yu didn't know that the letter was sent by Tang Yin, and he didn't think that Shao Jun and Cai Gui, two commanders without troops, could do anything in their own territory, so he didn't let anyone check the content of the letter.

He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I know about this."

"Lord Shao, please take a look!" Cai Gui took the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shao Yu. The latter hurriedly took it, looked down, and his face changed. The content of the letter was not much, but it was too shocking for him. It was the intelligence obtained by Fengguo spies in Zhenjiang, which clearly stated that Shao Fang had issued a secret order to dismiss Shao Yu from all official positions and titles, and asked Han Zhong and Yuan Tian to find an opportunity to capture Shao Yu, regardless of life or death.

Shao Yu held the letter and didn't say a word for a whole incense stick. Seeing that he looked a little strange, Shao Jun couldn't help but whisper to Cai Gui: "Lord Cai, what did the king write in the letter?"

Cai Gui said calmly: "Your Highness, just have fun, and I will handle the rest."

Shao Jun hit a soft nail, and felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say much. He smacked his lips, picked up the wine pot, and drank by himself.

After a long time, Shao Yu laughed, handed the letter back to Cai Gui, and said: "This is either a rumor, or your country's plan to alienate us, right?"

Cai Gui took the letter back, folded it carefully, put it back in his arms, and said faintly: "Lord Shao can not believe our words, but in the matter of life and death, Lord Shao must be on guard. I have said all, Lord Shao, take care of yourself!"

His words were not painful, but it made Shao Yu's heart difficult to calm down for a long time. This may be Fengguo's plan to alienate us, but what if it is true? Now Han Zhong and Yuan Tian are commanding 150,000 troops in Fengyang. If they suddenly attack, the consequences will be disastrous if he is unprepared.

At this time, Shao Yu no longer had the heart to continue socializing and having fun. He stood up and bowed to Shao Jun and Cai Gui and said, "Uncle, Mr. Cai, I suddenly remembered that there are some government affairs that have not been dealt with. I will leave first."

Shao Jun was not satisfied yet. Seeing Shao Yu was about to leave, he said reluctantly, "If there is anything, my nephew can ask his men to deal with it!"

Shao Yu said absent-mindedly, "It is a serious matter. I must do it myself. Uncle, I will come to visit you tomorrow!"

"Then... okay!"

After saying goodbye to Shao Jun and Cai Gui, Shao Yu walked out quickly. When he got outside, he waved to a guard and said urgently, "Hurry up and go. Call Mr. Liu Ting to see me!"

Leaving the inn and returning to the general's mansion in Fengyang, Shao Yu just sat down when Liu Ting hurried in from outside. When he came close to Shao Yu, he bowed and asked, "Sir, what happened that you are looking for me so urgently?"

Shao Yu waved his hand to send away all the guards in the room, and then asked, "Have Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had any contact with the court recently?"

"Oh..." Unexpectedly, Shao Yu would suddenly ask this. Liu Ting thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, the court sent a pigeon to send a letter to Mr. Han."

"What did the letter say?" Shao Yu asked nervously.

Liu Ting looked embarrassed and said, "That is a letter with the king's wax seal. How dare we open it to check?!"

Shao Yu stamped his feet and asked, "Just give it directly to Han Zhong?"

"Yes!" Liu Ting nodded blankly and said puzzledly, "Sir, is there any problem?"

Shao Yu stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "This morning, Cai Gui just received a letter from Fengguo's spy in Zhenjiang, saying that Shao Fang had issued a secret order to dismiss my official position and title, and asked Han Zhong and Yuan Tian to take me to Zhenjiang for questioning."

"Ah?" Liu Ting's face changed drastically, and his first reaction was, "Sir, this is not a plan of Fengguo to alienate us, right?"

"I think so too. No matter how stupid Shao Fang is, no matter how much he wants to kill me, he shouldn't touch me at this time." Shao Yu frowned and said, "But what if it's true? Don't forget, and Han Zhong and Yuan Tian are also in Fengyang with their 150,000 troops. If they suddenly attack me, how should I respond? "

That's true! Liu Ting nodded slowly and murmured: "My lord, you are right to worry. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. We have Fengyang natural danger. No matter how many enemies come, we can still keep them away from our door. But Once there is trouble inside, our situation will be in danger. "

Shao Yu asked: "What do you mean, sir..."

"My lord, why don't you find an opportunity to test Han Zhong and Yuan Tian? If there is something wrong in your heart, it will definitely be revealed." Liu Ting suggested.

"Yes! Just do what you want, sir. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet in the house and invite Han Zhong and Yuan Tian to come." Shao Yu rolled his eyes and whispered.

Before the evening of the second day, on the morning of the next day, another letter was sent to Fengyang from Zhenjiang. It was still stamped with Shao Fang's wax seal and written with the words Han Zhong personally signed it.

It was impossible for the letter sent by Feige between Zhenjiang and Fengyang to reach Han Zhong directly. Fengyang had to forward it to Han Zhong. However, the letter had Shao Fang's seal on it, and even Shao Yu did not dare to do so. Open it privately, unless he openly rebels and completely breaks with the Mo court.

Shao Fang's letter was sent to Han Zhong intact. The latter opened it and looked at it, and was overjoyed. It was a secret order written by Shao Fang himself, asking him and Yuan Tian to work together to capture Shao Yu. If there was resistance, they would be killed. It can also be killed directly.

Han Zhong had long suspected Shao Yu's loyalty and disliked him for a long time. Now that the king personally ordered this person to be eradicated, how could he be unhappy? And this time, with the king's secret order, Yuan Tian could no longer be afraid of wolves and tigers.

He immediately asked Yuan Tian to be found, and then showed Shao Fang's secret order to Yuan Tian. After the latter saw this secret order, his whole heart sank to the bottom of his heart, and his face turned white and blue, changing rapidly.

Seeing this, Han Zhong sneered secretly and asked, "Master Yuan, do you think there is something wrong with the king's secret order?"

inappropriate! What a huge mistake! If it succeeds, the leaderless Xishan County will fall into infighting. If it fails, Shao Yu will lead his men to defect to Feng Kingdom. If the secret order is followed, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it will be a great disadvantage to oneself.

But the king's order has already been issued and cannot be changed. Even if it is inappropriate, what can I do? Yuan Tian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I don't think there is anything wrong with this."

"That's good!" Han Zhong said: "We will follow the king's instructions! We have an army of 150,000 in Fengyang City. We can sneak attack the general's mansion in the middle of the night and annihilate Shao Yu's gang of thieves in one fell swoop."

"It's impossible!" Yuan Tian shook his head like a clapper and said, "That will cause a civil war between our army and the Xishan Army. If a battle is fought, many soldiers will be killed or injured. Such internal friction is not good for our country. "

Sometimes Han Zhong really wonders if Yuan Tian is specifically trying to go against him. If he says left, he insists on saying right. If he says east, he will say west. He asked in a bad tone: "What do you mean by Master Yuan?"

Things cannot be changed, and now Yuan Tian can only try to minimize the losses. He pondered for a long time and said: "Since we arrived in Xishan County, we have never invited Shao Yu. Why don't we hold a banquet to entertain Shao Yu tomorrow night..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Zhong couldn't wait to continue: "We can set up an ambush during the banquet. When Shao Yu and his gang members are negligent, we will suddenly attack and capture them in one fell swoop!"

At this time, he became smarter. Yuan Tian nodded with a wry smile and said, "Doing this can minimize the fight between the two parties. After all, Shao Yu is the leader of Xishan County. As long as he is captured, the others won't have to worry about it, and this also has It will help us stabilize the situation and control the entire Xishan County."

"Pah!" Han Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, praising: "What a good idea! Mr. Yuan is indeed very witty, let's do it like this!"

well! Looking at Han Zhong with a smile on his face and a proud expression, Yuan Tian sighed bitterly in his heart. He really couldn't think of anything else that would make Han Zhong happy.

The two of them were talking when suddenly a soldier hurried in from outside, crossed his hands and saluted, and said: "Master Han, Master Yuan, Master Shao just sent an invitation, inviting you two adults to have dinner at the General's Mansion tonight.
