Jiang Gan had a detailed talk with Yuan Shang and sent Yuan Shang out.

Zhang Xiu quickly sent a detailed message: This morning, Yuan Shang followed Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi went out of the city to pay homage. The three brothers had a brief conversation. Later, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had another detailed discussion. No one knew what to do. After returning to the city, before coming to Duting to meet Jiang Gan, Yuan Shang had gone to see Yuan Tan again, but Yuan Xi had no followers.

All the news is currently available. The detailed work in charge of surveillance also felt that there was something wrong with it and was sending additional staff to try to find out what the three Yuan brothers had talked about and what happened.

With limited intelligence, Jiang Gan could not guess the authenticity of Yuan Shang. In Yecheng for several months, he knew that the three brothers of Yuan were together. Yuan Tan was disheartened and wanted to fight and could not surrender. He was in a dilemma and wanted to retire. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were unwilling to accept it. Yuan Xi wanted to win over the Jizhou family. Behind Yuan Shang were the families who fled Qingzhou and Yanzhou, each with their own strengths, but they had no obvious advantages.

Yuan Shang wanted to be the King of Wei, but he could not say it was all a lie. When Yuan Shao died, Yuan Shang was over ten years old and knew that Yuan Shao had intended to regard him as his heir. What's more, his biological mother, Mrs. Liu, was still alive, and would constantly remind him that it was normal to plant the seeds of ambition in his young heart. Under the instigation of the aristocratic families in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it was inevitable that he could negotiate with Sun Ce and get along with everything.

Unfortunately, this is just what he thought.

As a representative of the negotiations, Jiang Gan knew the bottom line of King Wu very well. It was possible to retain the Wei State, but it was impossible to make concessions to the Jizhou and Yanzhou families. Repression of annexation is the basis of the new policy, and King Wu could not make concessions. If concessions could be made, why would the negotiations be stalemate until now?

Young, and without real counselors to give advice, only his seemingly smart mother, Mrs. Liu, and a group of families who were unwilling to give up their existing interests were bewitched. Yuan Shang thought he was qualified to end up in the competition, but he didn't know that he was not even qualified to be a chess piece.

After repeated consideration, Jiang Gan wrote a document and sent someone to Jiangdong to present it to the King of Wu. There was a detailed camp of the Military Advisory Office. The official document was transmitted very quickly and could be delivered to the King of Wu in five or six days. However, Jiang Gan still felt that it was not safe enough, so he wrote a letter to Xu Kun, asking him to prepare for the situation.

Xu Kun is currently the only war zone supervisor who can directly threaten Jizhou and is also a cousin of the King of Wu. His loyalty and ability are beyond doubt. If necessary, he can join forces with Shen You to respond at the same time, or he can request Zhu Huan, who is in charge of the Yanzhou war zone, to cooperate.

They were all from Jiangdong. When Jiang Gan thought of this, he felt a little uncomfortable. The territory of Wu was getting wider, with more and more talents, and factional struggles became more and more intense. This tested the political ability of the King of Wu and the destiny of the Wu Kingdom. Started from Jiangdong, which resided in a corner, the Wu Kingdom was inherently inadequate, and the quantity and quality of talents could not compete with the Central Plains. Faced with the pressure of the Ruying faction, the King of Wu had to use Jiangdong people in large quantities, and even suspected that the seedlings could be used to help grow.

For example, Zhu Huan served as the chief general of the Yanzhou war.

In Gaotang City, Xu Kun and Zhu Ran walked side by side. Outside the city is the vast Yellow River, rushing to the sea. Inside the city are soldiers practicing formations, as strong as a mountain. Under Zhu Ran's management, Gaotang City is a nail stuck by the Yellow River, which is unbreakable and makes it difficult for the Jizhou army to move forward.

Xu Kun was very satisfied and loyal. The King of Wu arranged a capable deputy for him. If he did not make any contribution, how could he deserve the respect and trust of King of Wu? He looked at the plain city like black dots on the horizon in the distance, and felt in his heart. It was time to take the plains and attack Jizhou.

When Xu Kun received the news from Jiang Gan, he had just received Sun Ce's latest combat order. Compared with the two, Xu Kun smelled the smell of prey. In his opinion, no matter whether Yuan Shang is true or false or what he wants, the incompatibility of the Yuan brothers is his chance to take advantage of the situation.

Xu Kun personally arrived at Gaotang and discussed with Zhu Ran. As soon as the two met, they didn't even say a few words of polite words. Xu Kun took out two official documents and asked Zhu Ran for advice. After reading the two official documents, Zhu Ran thought for a long time.

"The governor intends to take on this matter alone?"

Xu Kun slapped his palm with a whip and asked with a smile: "Yifeng doesn't have confidence?"

Zhu Ran looked at Xu Kun in surprise and shook the official documents in his hand. "Governor, the king's order is very clear. Take Youzhou first and then surround Jizhou. Although the Yuan brothers are now fighting against each other, they have the opportunity to take advantage of it, but it is contrary to the king's established strategy."

Xu Kun stopped, held the battlements with both hands, and looked at the soldiers who were practicing in the city, and frowned.

"Yifeng, who did you enter the curtain?"

Zhu Ran thought about it. "Fifth year of Chuping."

"I was in the third year of Chuping. At that time, the general Guo Ting Guo and Guo, and I served as the Qujun Marquis under his command. The battle in Xiaoxian was my first battle, intercepting Guan Yu and the Miscellaneous Hu cavalry led by Zhang Fei, and beheaded more than ten levels of the year."

"Although the governor is a brother of the king, he has accumulated merits and promoted, and he admires it very much. When the king mentioned the governor, he was also very satisfied."

Xu Kun laughed and turned to look at Zhu Ran. "At that time, the king had just taken charge of Yuzhou and had not yet gone to Jiangdong. Now the Jiangdong soldiers have not been established. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years, and even I can't believe it myself."

Zhu Ran had a slight head. He understood Xu Kun's meaning. Xu Kun was not moved by time. Xu Kun's feelings were that the Jiangdong family came from behind, first Shen You, then Lu Xun and Zhu Huan. In particular, Zhu Huan, from an ordinary general of the central army, he jumped from a commander of Lu Fan and Ji Ling, two generals in the field of the war zone, to supervising operations. However, he, a relative of the King of Wu, was stagnant. If Zhu Huan marched into Jizhou, he might have to obey Zhu Huan's command.

People always need face, but Xu Kun is not convinced and wants to seize merit before Zhu Huan enters Jizhou.

Zhu Ran didn't say anything. Xu Kun didn't hear the answer he wanted. He thought Zhu Ran didn't understand. He turned his head to look at Zhu Ran, and saw Zhu Ran wrapping his hands around his chest and tilting the corners of his mouth slightly, and he felt unhappy. "Yifeng, you Aweng is the old subordinate of General Cavalry. During the battle of Xiaoxian, I also asked him about the way of using troops. You and I have a connection. If it weren't for this, I..."

"Governor, my father has mentioned you many times and attaches great importance to you. Does the governor know what my father says about you?"

Xu Kun rolled his eyes. He and Zhu Zhi did have some friendship, but they were not deep. The reason why he said this was just to get closer to Zhu Ran, hoping that Zhu Ran could help him. Zhu Ran said that Zhu Zhi had comments on him, and he was somewhat surprised.

"I hope to hear the details."

"My father said that the governor was of high talent and good luck."

Xu Kun's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "I dare not say that my talent is the best, but it is true that I am lucky. If it weren't for this, how could I have the right to help me?"

Zhu Ran shook his head. "The governor's greatest luck is the King of Wu."
