Chapter 224 (2/2)
Yang Song understood his brother's meaning at a glance, but he shook his head and said, ”it's not right! This Yang Ren is loyal to that Zhang Lu and will never turn to us. Moreover, he was very close to Yan Pu, who was always resourceful and regarded you and me as a thorn in the flesh
Yang Bai nodded, and Yang Song continued: ”during this period, I have taken control of the whole ZhangFu, and now the ZhangFu is full of my ears and eyes. Second brother, we should try our best to win over the generals in Hanzhong Garrison and try our best to draw them to our side. In a few days, I will find an excuse to send Yang Ren and Yan Pu to the border of Yizhou. By then, Hanzhong City will really belong to our brothers! ” Speaking of this, Yang Song and Yang Bo brothers look at each other and smile.
At the time of the Yang brothers' conspiracy, several people were sitting around the table in the elegant room of a teahouse on the other side of Hanzhong City.Most of them were soldiers in armour, with only one middle-aged man in a robe. This man was no one else but Yan Pu, the county magistrate of Hanzhong City, who was just the enemy of the Yang brothers. And sitting next to Yan Pu is Hanzhong General Yang Ren, who has been returning to the city on the pretext of long ago. The rest of them are also important generals of Hanzhong.
”Gentlemen Yan Pu first paid homage to all the generals and said, ”the princes are willing to come here to meet with Yan and discuss major issues. It shows that all the princes are loyal to the master. Yan once again thanks the masters.” Having said that, Yan Pu directly prostrated himself on the couch.
The generals quickly lifted up Yanpu, and Yan Pu said to them, ”Hanzhong is now polluted by the Yang brothers, but Shijun still doesn't show up. Yan can't help but think of the change of Jingzhou three years ago.”
Yang Ren was also called to the teahouse by Yan Pu. He had not talked with him before. When he heard this, he was surprised and said, ”what do you mean, master Yan, was the master hurt by the Yang brothers?” The other generals all looked at Yan Pu in surprise.
Yan Pu shook his head and said, ”all the orders issued by the Yang brothers during this period were written by Shijun himself. I think Shijun's life should be carefree. In my estimation, Shijun should be under house arrest by the Yang brothers. ”
”Good thief!” Yang Ren has a lot of trust in Yan Pu. Listening to Yan Pu's analysis, he even rants at the table.
A general is also a look of sudden enlightenment, said: ”I said it! How could the benevolence and virtue of the Shijun issue the order to drive the people out of the army? I think it must be the Yang brothers who did it
However, another general hesitated and asked, ”the little general seems to be very close to the Yang brothers. Is the little general also involved in this matter?” Talking about it, Zhang Weiwei doesn't know how to do it.
”Hum!” Yang Ren snorted coldly, and said with disdain on his face: ”Zhang Wei's straw bag, where has any ability to participate in this kind of conspiracy? I guess, he is still kept in the dark by the Yang brothers!”
Yan Pu nodded and said, ”the young general has always been loyal to the master, and he will not do such a thing. Presumably, the young brothers must have concealed the little general and used the identity of the major general to control Hanzhong!”
On hearing that Zhang Wei was not involved, several generals were relieved. After all, Zhang Wei's reputation in Hanzhong was not low, and his popularity in the army was also quite large. Several generals present had some friendship with Zhang Wei. A general said, ”Lord Yan, tell me! How should we eradicate the Yang brothers and save the Shijun? ”
Yan Pu stroked his beard and said, ”it's not easy to eradicate the Yang brothers. After all, the Yang brothers have been operating in Hanzhong for many years, and they also have many forces. It is not easy to move them. At least half of the people in Hanzhong City obeyed their orders. Yang Song is also in charge of mobilizing the troops in Hanzhong. According to what I can see, before long, Yang Song will find an excuse to transfer the loyal generals from Hanzhong City, and then Yang Bai will control the troops in Hanzhong City. At that time, everything will be over! ” Speaking of this, Yan Pu can't help sighing. When Yang Song was in power, he told Zhang Lu that Yang song could only flatter others, and could not be reused. Unfortunately, Zhang Lu did not adopt his opinions. Now he is suffering a lot!
Hearing this, Yang Ren slapped the table again and said, ”this thief Yang Song, if he dares to do so, I will fight with him
Yan Pu quickly took Yang Ren and advised him: ”General Yang! Never! If Yang song really wants to do so, he must issue military orders in the name of Shijun. How can the general disobey the name of Shijun? If the general really disobeys the order of the division on the spur of the moment, I'm afraid that Yang Song will soon be charged with conspiracy to the general, and then the general will be poisoned by the Yang brothers! ”
Yang Ren was stunned by Yan Pu's words. He patted his thigh with hatred and sighed: ”ah! Unfortunately, Yang ang died in the hands of the Dongwu army. It's really worthless! If Yang ang is still alive, with the prestige of us and Lord Yan, how can we allow the Yang brothers to behave so recklessly? ”
Yan Pu comforted Yang Ren and then said, ”General Yang, don't worry. It's not hopeless. We still have a chance. This is the reason why I want you to come here to have a secret talk. I have a plan, general, to eradicate the evil! In a few days, we will be like this... ”
