"Reporting to my lord, Wang Wu of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who infiltrated the Black Mountain Army, has sent news that Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army will launch a surprise attack on Shangdang in three days!”
Yuan Xi was stunned when she heard Lu Bing's words!
"Black Mountain Army? What ability does he have to break my Shangdang? Moreover, even if he wanted to launch a surprise attack on Shangdang!”
"Why didn't you take advantage of the time when my army was sending troops to attack Bing Province to launch a sneak attack? Why did you have to come at this time after I completely took Bing Province?”
As Yuan Xi asked, Lu Bing also continued!
"My lord, Wang Wu said that a person came to the Black Mountain Army some time ago. Then, there was news of Zhang Yan sending troops!”
"And that time point was the time when the lord had just taken down Shangdang!”
"As for why I chose now, forgive me for my stupidity!”
Hearing Lu Bing's words, Yuan Xi's brows furrowed together, but in the next moment, he understood!
"What a coincidence. It seems that my big brother is really trying to take my life for the position of the crown prince!”
"Forget it. Since he's heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. Actually, I've long wanted to get rid of him!”
When Lu Bing revealed the Black Mountain Army's movements, Yuan Xi already had a plan in his heart!
After all, Yuan Xi, who had loaded Liu Bowen's interface, was far more resourceful than ordinary strategists. He might even be better than the six geniuses of the world!
Moreover, Yuan Xi had already thought about his position long ago!
As a duke who was determined to dominate the world in the future, his politics and strategy must be top-notch. Only then could he become a good monarch!
Otherwise, if the master was weak and the subjects were strong, it would be another chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty!
As for martial strength, it was enough to strengthen one's body and live a long life. As an ambitious person, there was no need to rely on bravery to personally fight the enemy!
After all, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. As long as Yuan Xi could protect himself, it was completely fine!
In history, how many monarchs had died at the hands of their enemies by relying on their own bravery?
Not to mention the distant ones, in just a few years, the so-called little tyrant Sun Ce would die at the hands of assassins!
Moreover, now that Yuan Tan this fellow actually wanted Yuan Xi's life, then Yuan Xi naturally wouldn't let this fellow off!
Perhaps, because of this matter, Yuan Shao could completely cripple Yuan Tan!
In this way, the Yuan Family's internal troubles could be nipped in the bud by Yuan Xi even earlier!
When Yuan Xi succeeds the throne in the future, he would obtain the Yuan family's impregnable foundation. All he needed to do was to work together and unite against the outside world!
In this way, why should the world worry about uncertainty?
Yuan Xi immediately said to Lu Bing!
"Pass on my order. Immediately have Xu You, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Yiqu, and the others come to the hall.”
With Yuan Xi's order, the Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately moved out!
In a short while, the civil and military officials rushed to Shangdang County Governor's Manor and split up!
Then, he heard Xu You say!
"I wonder if something big happened when Young Master called us here in the middle of the night?”
When Xu You said this, all the generals 'expressions turned cold!
As for Yuan Xi, the corners of his mouth carried a hint of coldness as he said!
"Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army has led thirty thousand elites and is less than fifty miles away from Shangdang. They want to take my life. Do you think I should surrender?”
Hearing Yuan Xi's words, not only were the generals dumbfounded, even Xu You was stunned!
In the next moment, Zhang He and Gao Lan burst out in anger!
"Black Mountain Thief? It's fine if they're holed up in Taihang Mountain, but if they dare to come to Shangdang, I'll make sure they don't return!”
Zhang He and Gao Lan rose up!
Behind him, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and the others also berated the Black Mountain Thief!
However, after Xu You's initial surprise, his expression changed slightly and he asked in confusion!
"The Black Mountain Army's combat power is low. Even if there are thirty thousand elites among them, how confident are they that they can deal with the twenty thousand soldiers of Shangdang?”
" Besides, Zhang He and Gao Lan are famous generals from Hebei. Logically speaking, Zhang Yan wouldn't be so unwise, unless…"
Just as Xu You said this, his eyes immediately widened and he looked at Yuan Xi!
He seemed to have thought of something terrifying!
Yuan Xi coldly laughed in response!
"Unless someone is working together with Zhang Yan to kill me!”
When Yuan Xi said this, the expressions of the civil and military officials below changed drastically!
Normally speaking, only the people in Yuan Xi's army knew that Yuan Xi was in charge of Shangdang. When Zhang Yan received this news, she rushed straight to Shangdang!
He had undoubtedly received news from someone!
So, there was a traitor in the army who betrayed Yuan Xi?
After understanding this, the generals 'gazes darkened!
On the other hand, Xu You looked at the confident and calm Yuan Xi and could not help but admire him!
Xu You was a wise man to begin with. Yuan Xi had also seen his attributes. His intelligence was as high as 95, and he could be considered a top-notch wise man in the world!
Although he was only at the bottom of the super-class, Xu Youzhi was indeed one of the few in the world!
However, even he didn't think that someone would betray Yuan Xi, yet Yuan Xi had said it out loud!
Moreover, he looked like he had a plan in mind. Clearly, he had a plan in mind!
No wonder even Tian Feng and Ju Shou, these two stubborn old fogeys, were full of praise for Yuan Xi. Such wisdom was indeed rare in the world!
After sighing, Xu You became even more respectful to Yuan Xi!
He knew that the closer he got to Yuan Xi, the more important he would become to Yuan Xi in the future!
However, who was this traitor?
Everyone knew that now that Yuan Xi had taken over Bingzhou, he was naturally the heir of the Yuan Family!
Then which idiot would take things too hard and betray the Yuan family's heir, the next lord, to collude with the bandits?
Even Xu You could not understand this!
Hence, Xu You also spoke!
"Young Master, looking at your confident appearance, you must have a plan. However, no matter how I think, I can't figure out who the traitor is.”
Seeing Xu You's helpless expression, the generals did not speak. They all looked at Yuan Xi, waiting for his decision!
As for Yuan Xi, he swept his gaze over the civil and military officials below and laughed out loud!
"I don't know who the traitor is, but this doesn't hinder my plan.”
"From today onwards, the four gates of Shangdang will be guarded by Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan, and Jiao Chu. Jiang Yiqu will be in charge of the inner city.”
After receiving Yuan Xi's order, the five generals immediately left!
After the five of them left, Yuan Xi said leisurely!
"Now that the traitor has left, please accompany me in putting on a good show!”
"Otherwise, I'll disappoint my big brother!”
When Yuan Xi said this, the expressions of Xu You, Zhang He, and Gao Lan changed drastically!
It turned out that this was also related to the Yuan Family's fight for the throne!
No wonder someone would join forces with the Black Mountain Army…
