"Yuan Gaolu, how is this possible? How could the assassin be sent by Yuan Gaolu?" Just as everyone was shocked by the conclusion, Gao Lan suddenly said: "Gao believes that the mastermind behind the assassin may be Yuan Shu Yuan Gaolu."

"College Captain," Han Zhan looked at Gao Lan and asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure it's Yuan Highway?"

"Report to the lord," Gao Lan quickly explained to Han Zhan: "Half a year ago, after Yuan Benchu ​​took advantage of Jizhou, Yuan Gaolu sent an envoy to Jizhou City and asked Yuan Benchu ​​for three thousand good horses, but was rejected."

Hearing Gao Lan say this, Chen Zhen asked curiously: "College Captain, I don't know what happened, who told you?"

Gao Lan faced Chen Zhen and said, "Premier Chen, the envoy sent by Yuan Gaolu had stayed in Guantao for a day, and was received by General Junyi. At the order of General Junyi, he led his troops to escort the envoy to Jizhou City. A few days later, the envoy hurriedly returned to Guantao, scolded Yuan Benchu ​​in front of me, and said that he would go back to report his lord immediately to avenge his humiliation.

After thinking that perhaps after the messenger returned, Yuan Gonglu took his anger to the civil and military officials in Jizhou, so he planned to send assassins to kill a few officials to vent his hatred."

When Han Zhan heard this, he asked in confusion: "Even if Yuan Benchu ​​refuses to provide Yuan Gaolu with military horses, and the two of them turn against each other, how could they send assassins to assassinate you?" He turned his head to Chen Zhen, and then asked, "Xiaoqi, what do you think about this?"

Chen Zhen is good at internal affairs, but is short of strategy. When he heard Han Zhan’s question, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and replied: “Lord, I really can’t think of it.”

Hearing Chen Zhen’s answer, Han Zhan felt a little regretful. If Guo Jia and Xun You were by his side, they might be able to guess the reason immediately. At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Report to the lord, Mr. Shan Fu is asking for a meeting outside the mansion!"

Shan Fu, when he heard this name, Han Zhan couldn't help but lit up his eyes and thought to himself, why did I forget him? Xu Shu was also a relatively famous military advisor in the Three Kingdoms. It was not a piece of cake to ask him to analyze this matter. So he quickly ordered the officer: "Hurry and ask Mr. Shan Fu in!"

Xu Shu quickly entered the lobby under the guidance of the officer. He stepped forward and bowed to Han Zhan: "Shan Fu meets Ting Hou!"

"Mr. Shan Fu is exempt from gifts!"

After Xu Shu stood up straight, he asked Han Zhan: "Shan Fu heard that the lord sent someone to capture the assassin who assassinated the college lieutenant. I wonder if the assassin had ever taken it?"

"All the assassins have been arrested." Han Zhan was eager to understand the truth of the matter, so he said to Xu Shu: "But the assassins would rather die than confess who the mastermind behind was. I wonder if Mr. Shan Fu had a way to find out who they were under?"

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Dare you sure that the assassin was in the lobby? What did you say?"

"The assassins said that their families were detained by the Lord's envoy," Han Zhan said: "They said that unless we rescue their families, they will never confess to the Lord's envoy."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Xu Shu continued to ask: "I wonder if they have ever said where the other party imprisoned their family?"

"Shouchun!"

Hearing Shouchun's order, Xu Shu showed a surprised expression on his face, "Isn't Shouchun the territory of Yuan Gaolu? Why did he send someone to Guantao to assassinate the college lieutenant?"

Han Zhan told Xu Shu about Yuan Shu being rejected when he asked Yuan Shao for a war horse, and even mentioned the analysis made by Gao Lan. As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, he immediately spoke: "Mr. Ting Fu, Shan Fu believes that this group of assassins was undoubtedly sent by Yuan Gaolu."

"How can I see?" Seeing Xu Shu making a judgment so quickly, Han Zhan asked curiously: "Mr. Shan Fu, what judgment did you make based on?"

Seeing that everyone was focusing their eyes on him and eager to know the answer to the matter. Xu Shu smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and a vengeful person. Although he is a brother to Yuan Benchu, he will definitely want to take revenge for the sake of war horses. However, it seems unreasonable to raise troops for such a thing, so he can only use other methods to deal with Yuan Benchu.

Even if Yuan Shu was far away in Shouchun, he should know that he might have thought this was an opportunity, so he sent assassins to Guantao and let them sneak into the city to assassinate our generals in order to anger the Marquis of Ting and make us and Yuan Benchu ​​become enemies of the undying death."

"What Mr. Shan Fu said is indeed a bit reasonable." After hearing Xu Shu's words, Han Zhan felt that his analysis was still a bit reasonable, but he raised new questions in response to some doubts that still exist: "Why didn't the assassin start earlier, but instead had to wait for Yuan Shao to withdraw before taking action?"

Xu Shu stretched out two fingers and said, "According to Shan Fu's speculation, there are only two reasons: First, when the assassin arrived at Guantao, Yuan Shao was in a hurry to attack the city, and they could not get into the city at all; second, the assassin had been in the city for a long time, and they saw that the city was in danger. Once the defender was assassinated, the city would fall. Yuan's army would invade Guantao City, and then they would be burned, and they were unwilling to take such risks."

After hearing Xu Shu's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. Chen Zhen looked at Han Zhan with a smile and said, "Lord, Mr. Shan Fu is really a master of strategy. He can actually analyze the truth about Yuan Shu sending someone to assassinate the college captain based on some clues. It's amazing."

"Mr. Shan Fu," Han Zhan and Chen Zhen finished speaking, humbly asked Xu Shu for advice: "I wonder what we should do now, should we pretend not to know the truth, or should we raise troops to question Yuan Shu?"

"Mr. Ting is not reckless!" Hearing Han Zhan say something about the crime, Xu Shu quickly dissuaded: "Jizhou is not stable now, and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others are staring at each other, so we should not create more powerful enemies at this moment. With Shan Fu's opinion, we can pretend to be unaware of this matter at the moment. When Mar. Ting occupied the four states and stabilized the north, and welcomed the emperor from Chang'an to Yecheng, we will go to conquer Yuan Shu with great righteousness."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu sighed softly and said apologetically to Gao Lan, who was beside him: "It's just that, I feel wronged by the High School Captain."

Gao Lan turned his head and looked at Han Zhan sitting in the middle, then stood up and said righteously: "Mr. Shan Fu is serious. As long as he can help the lord achieve hegemony, what is it that even if he sacrifices his life, he will be fine. Besides, it's just a little grievance."
