Chapter 415: Yuan Shang's Big Plan

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Inside the study.

"Shang'er, you're here."

Yuan Shao motioned to sit down.

Yuan Shang often ran towards him, but this time he didn't care.

After Yuan Shang saw what happened to Yuan Tan and Zhang Rou, he had a bold idea.

But he was very smart and didn't bring it up immediately, but laid the groundwork, "Father, seeing that your brows are furrowed, why are you worried about something?"

Yuan Shao frowned, the current him, even talking to his son in private, was quite dignified, and said indifferently: "Can't you even see this?"

"Father, I know you are worried about the black bandits."

Only then did Yuan Shao loosen his brows, "Now the north is pacified, but the problem of Black Bandits is becoming more and more serious. They are plundering counties and counties everywhere, and rich people from all over the place come to me to complain. If we don't deal with it well, we will not only lose money and food, but also lose money." will lose hearts."

In addition, Yuan Shao's ambition is not limited to the Northland.

He has already started to look at the Central Plains.

In this case, the black bandit would be like a knife stuck in his core area.

"Shang'er, according to the recent news, Cao Cao has already begun to march into Chang'an. He has no scruples about my Yuan family's more than 100,000 troops, leading the main force to go on an expedition. Do you know why?"

"Black Bandit Army."

Yuan Shao nodded, it seems that there is no connection, but in fact the connection is huge, Yuan Shang can see it, he is still very pleased.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to encircle and suppress the Black Bandits.

"After more than a month, the grain and grass will be put into the warehouse, and I will send Yan Liang and Wen Chou into the mountains as my father..."

Yuan Shang thought for a while, this was very different from his idea, and immediately said solemnly:

"Father, the Black Mountain bandits have existed for more than ten years. At that time, the famous imperial general Huangfu Song Zhu Jun and others, with the power of calming down the Yellow Turban, could not do anything about the Black Mountain. Faced with the danger of the Wanli Taihang, they are afraid."

"Nowadays, Taihang Mountain is like an iron barrel built by Zhang Yan. The Taihang Eight Xings are easy to defend and difficult to attack. And even if they are all broken, they are only the first line of defense. It is difficult to threaten the foundation of the Black Mountain Army. .”

Yuan Shao immediately looked at his third son with admiration. Obviously, he had devoted himself to studying the black mountain bandits, and it was clear at a glance that he worked hard for the family business.

Signal to continue.

Yuan Shang revealed all the research results during this period, "Taihang and Baxing are gates, and all of them are Xiongguan fortresses. I am afraid that many troops will be lost..."

"Also, Qianli Taihang, we don't even know the location of all the thief villages."

"If you want to completely encircle and suppress, you need to bear a lot of loss of troops and food, and I am afraid it will take several years."

"A few years later, the power of my Yuan family has dropped drastically, and the Central Plains has changed, so what can I do?"

Yuan Shao was in a cold sweat, but he was very relieved that after years of training, his third son had also grown up.

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, but if the Black Mountain Army is not eliminated, we will not be able to develop with peace of mind, let alone cross the river."

Yuan Shangdao: "Father is right. If we continue to be dragged down by the Black Mountain bandits, it seems that people like Cao Cao will continue to grow bigger, one will fade away, and the other will give others a chance to attack us."

Yuan Shao looked at his words and saw Yuan Shang talking eloquently, and asked, "Then, how do you think about dealing with the Black Mountain bandits?"

Yuan Shang was overjoyed, he finally got to the root, stood up and bowed, and said seriously: "Why don't you send my elder brother into the mountain."

Um?

Yuan Shao was taken aback and became discouraged. He thought that the third child had grown up, but it seemed that the growth was not enough.

Let your elder brother go out to find a way, what kind of strategy is this?

Yuan Shang was also watching the situation, and immediately followed up when he saw this: "Father, you didn't lead troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress, but went into the mountains alone to infiltrate the enemy army..."

Yuan Shao regained his spirits immediately. In fact, he knew that sending Yuan Tan into the mountains would also consume troops and food. Hearing what the third brother said, it seemed that it could be as easy as pie?

Then this is my own strategy, and I re-emphasized it, "How do you say that?"

Yuan Shangdao: "Father, I encountered something today.

My elder brother and that Zhang Rou.... "

So and so and so, he described it in detail.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was concentrating, he continued:

"My elder brother is a man who often calls the poor people brothers and sisters, and eats wine and brags with ordinary soldiers. The second brother and the others call him a living bandit in private. In fact, he is no different from those bandits of the Black Bandit."

"If my eldest brother breaks into the enemy's interior and has the information, he should cooperate with the outside."

"You can easily defeat the black bandits, reduce the damage of troops and money, and don't give the princes of the Central Plains a chance to invade."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

After a long time, Yuan Shao who was in deep thought said: "You should go back first, I will think about this matter."

After Yuan Shang left.

Yuan Shao stood up and crossed, "Live bandits..."

Isn't his eldest son a 'living bandit'?

This title won Prime Minister Yuan's heart even more than Overlord Yuan Tan.

...

vertical sun.

Yuan Tan led the Yuan family's Wenwu into the hall, "See the prime minister (father)."

Yuan Tan took his seat, and the others followed suit.

Although Yuan Tan has gotten used to the daily meetings and meetings, big and small, but deep down in his heart, he prefers to enjoy life.

After Tian Fengju gave them a report on some situations.

Everyone quietly listened to Yuan Shao's lecture.

Yuan Shao said, "Tan'er, I heard that you met a girl yesterday."

On the one hand, Tian Feng and the others immediately became energetic, on the other hand, they were a little confused because of the accident.

Such a personal topic shouldn't be spoken out in front of the crowd, right?

Yuan Tan was also very surprised. Who made the small report of this special code? "That's what happened."

"Do you know the identity of that girl?"

"have no idea."

Tian Feng and the others were even more puzzled by this conversation.

Yuan Shao nodded, "The truth has been found out, that girl is Zhang Rou, the younger sister of Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit commander!"

Yuan Tan frowned, so well-informed?

Yan Liangwen Chou and the others suddenly realized, wait, black bandits?

Tian Feng immediately stood up, "Prime Minister, have you caught it?"

The look of everyone's expectation.

Yuan Shao signaled to be calm and don't be impatient. Judging by Yuan Tan's expression, he probably didn't know. He looked at Yuan Shang with admiration and sent him an encouraging look.

Yuan Shang was very pleased with his wit.

Yuan Shao took the opportunity and said: "The truth has a plan, since the eldest son is kind to Zhang Rou, why not take the opportunity to break into the enemy's interior and cooperate with the outside..."

Tian Fengju gave these advisers a quick calculation, and it must be said that it was a good strategy.

But in terms of candidates....

Guo Tu got up immediately, "Prime Minister, this is too dangerous, we can't let the eldest son go."

Yuan Shao said indifferently: "Isn't it dangerous to fight the enemy? When is it safe to kill the enemy before the battle? Xiansi has always had a plan, and his martial arts are extraordinary (living bandits...), I thought about it all night, and he is the most suitable candidates."

The topic changed, "But the truth will not be forced, Xiansi, are you willing to go? If you attack Montenegro by force, countless soldiers will die..."

Yuan Tan didn't expect his father to let him play undercover, which was quite novel.

After thinking about it, it is similar to his idea after meeting Zhang Rou.

As long as it works, there is no danger.

"How should it work?" Yuan Tan asked instead.

Seeing the promise, Yuan Shao was very pleased. He felt that having such a son was a blessing from his previous life, and said:

"My father has already found out where Zhang Rou lives. Tan'er, you go and save her life. We are so and so and so..."

Yuan Tan is not hypocritical, his goal is the whole world, how can he compete with the black mountain bandits?

Such a quick solution is the best.

"Since that's the case, my son, let's go back and get ready.

Yuan Shao greeted hurriedly, "Tan'er, don't leave in a hurry, I still have something to say to everyone."

Yuan Tan sat down.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone except Yuan Tan, his face darkened.

With his current status and the bearing he has developed, everyone trembled a little.

Yuan Shao said coldly: "The eldest son is loyal to his family and country, and the world can learn from it. Even if I am a father, I still admire his feat. His entry into the mountain this time is an absolute secret. If someone leaks the news..."

Having said that, he stood up, drew out his sword with a clang, and directly saw the case in two, pointing the sword at the hall, "No matter who it is, there is only one way to die!"

Everyone panicked.

Yuan Shang trembled all over, stood up first in a hurry, went to the hall and said: "I must do my best to help my elder brother accomplish this great event!"

Everyone also followed, and said in unison: "I must do my best to assist the eldest son."

Only then did Yuan Shao's expression soften.

...

night.

Shence Mansion.

Yuan Tan sat in the hall, looking like a man in deep thought.

Guo Jia walked in, "My lord, according to the report from the prime minister's mansion, the third son went to the prime minister yesterday, this plan must have come from the third son."

Yuan Tan laughed, "Okay, I can get credit for it, don't need to work hard, and can show my face to my father. As expected of my third brother, I have grown up again."

Guo Jia was a little worried, "I'm not afraid of anything else about this matter, but I'm afraid of leaking the news."

Of course Yuan Tan knew that it was Yuan Shang who was talking about, and smiled, "My father said such harsh words in the classroom. Now that I think about it, it's like shaking a mountain and shaking a tiger. The third child will not leak the news, but he wants me to die there. There will be inconsistencies.”

He said again: "Feng Xiao, don't worry too much, I have a hole card to save my life, so I agreed."

"Here." Guo Jia said.

"I heard that Lao Sanfeng had a bumper harvest. He sent all his followers to protect it, and there were no black bandits. Moreover, he hosted banquets for his guests every day. It seems that after the bumper harvest, he has plenty of money and food."

"Yes." Although Guo Jia responded, he was puzzled by the connotation of these words.

This must be the Eldest Young Master's thinking jumping again, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"Feng Xiao, I heard that bandits must have a certificate of merit. The bigger the certificate, the more status they have, the more respect they get from the bandits, and the safer..."

"Huh?" Guo Jia's eyes widened.

He knew that the third son was living a luxurious life day by day, surrounded by a group of fawning people every day, and gradually gained the title of Xiao Mengchang, which came from the abundance of money and food in the fief.

If there is no such money and food, then the third son will have to live in poverty.

After more than ten years of hard work, I returned to...

Who can stand this?

night.

Yuan Shang Mansion.

Drums and sheng.

The beauties danced and entertained the diners.

The diners applauded that the third son is Xiao Mengchang and Yuan Xianfu.

The judge said: "The first son's fief sells watermelons and makes a lot of money. But the third son's fief also has a bumper harvest. With this batch of money and food, he can recruit soldiers and buy horses to enrich his troops."

Feng Ji smiled and said: "The third son's fief has a large population, the land is rich, and there will be a bumper harvest every year. This is the foundation of the third son."

Yuan Shang couldn't help smiling smugly when he heard the words. He was jealous of his elder brother, but his fiefdom was the real traditional harvest, and the harvest was also great.

Thinking of my own strategy, when the time comes, I will have prestige, money and food, and the key is not to exert effort.

"Come, come, gentlemen, drink this cup to the brim."

I couldn't help but go out again, and raised my glass to invite Mingyue, "Life is so hard, how can anyone be free, it's really mysterious..."

Many diners don't know the meaning of these words.

Only Shen Pei Feng Ji smiled, this plan of the third young master is really perfect.
