Chapter 182: Conspiracy
Guanzhong, Chang'an.
With the imperial court moved to Luoyang, Chang'an is a little less prosperous than in the past when Chen Mo was in Chang'an, but it is still a small number of densely populated cities under Chen Mo's rule, Chen Mo is gone, although Zang Hong is left to continue to govern Guanzhong, but Zang Hong is even Chen Mo's teacher, the deterrent power is far less than Chen Mo's, and compared to Chen Molai, Zang Hong's attitude will be much softer, although above the system, Zang Hong never gives in, but his attitude is always humble and polite, patiently explaining the benefits of these systems.
Although the system is still implemented, in terms of criminal law, it is not as strict as Chen Mo, and as the core of the entire Guanzhong, Xiliang and even Hanzhong and the Western Regions, it is also Chen Mo's rear, and the trade in Guanzhong has become more and more prosperous over the years.
"Princes, it is only a matter of time before Chen Mo is defeated in Hanoi and defeated by Yuan Gong, are you really willing to persecute and govern the place for Chen Mo, but you still have to be exploited by him?" Xicheng, the Li family's mansion, although it is not as big as the Huangfu family, but since the death of Huangfu Song, although there are still Huangfu Jianshou, Huangfu Li and others in the court as officials, but the Huangfu family is not as good as before, the Li family, as a Guanzhong family, although there has never been a minister-level figure, but with a deep family background and Chen Mo's business in recent years, it has gradually formed a monopoly on silk, cloth, etc.
You know, in the past, these businesses in Guanzhong were under the control of the Zhu family, but Zhu Jun voted for Cao Cao, and later died of illness in Juancheng, the Zhu family in Guanzhong did not have Zhu Jun to take care of, and was gradually replaced by the Li family, although in the military and political affairs, the Li family did not have too many outstanding figures, but economically, half of the silk and cloth transactions in Guanzhong were in the hands of the Li family, if it were not for Chen Mo to support the Zhu family and several other small families, the Li family could hold the silk trade in the entire Guanzhong in their hands.
Silk can be directly used as money, not to mention that the Li family also controls the trade of Shu brocade, and has close contacts with the Xie family and the Wang family in Shuzhong, and because of this, with the increasing wealth of the family, the Li family is very disgusted with Chen Mo's support for the Zhu family and some other families to form restraint on themselves.
Although Chen Mo also has a lot of respect for Li Tai, the head of the family who can make the Li family bigger step by step and implicitly catch up with the Huangfu family, and he has maintained considerable courtesy when he meets several times, but for Li Tai, this kind of respect is far less useful than letting the Li family control the entire silk weaving trade, so he secretly contacted Yuan Shao a long time ago.
This time, Chen Mo's war in Hebei was unfavorable, and Li Tai was the first to come out and organize some big families who had always been dissatisfied with Chen Mo's tax system, and were ready to take this opportunity to welcome Yuan Shao as the lord of Guanzhong.
The Li family is a family developed under the rule of Chen Mo, although there is family wealth, but the foundation is insufficient, and Chen Mo formulated a decree that land cannot be bought and sold, so that the Li family can not turn wealth into land inheritance like other families, although it is also a scholar, but compared with other scholars, after all, there is still a lack of some background, if only his family does this, Feng Xian is too big, because he has already secretly contacted many families who are dissatisfied with Chen Mo's decree.
In fact, the Li family is the beneficiary of Chen Mo's new policy, but now they are the first to jump out against Chen Mo, which is untenable in theory, if they can get the support of some virtuous people, it is the best, but most of the virtuous people are now in Luoyang, and if Chang'an wants to respond to Yuan Shao, it can only be presided over by Li Tai.
"What Gong Li said, we naturally know, but how can this matter be done by us alone?" One person frowned and said, although Chen Mo is now transferring troops to fight with Yuan Shao, but the rear is not completely empty, you must know that the families of the generals and soldiers in the army are all in Guanzhong, once there is a change in Guanzhong, it is easy to shake the morale of the army, and although Xiliang has been decided, but there are still Zhang Lu and Xiongnu around, how can Chen Mo not have any defense, Wu Yike, as Chen Mo's confidant general, has been stationed in Lanchi and has not moved, with this army of soldiers and horses, how can they have a chance.
When Li Tai heard this, he smiled slightly: "I was about to introduce someone to you." ”
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Li Tai curiously, not knowing who to introduce.
"The two generals can come out and see each other!" Li Tai smiled slightly, with a bamboo in his chest, looking in the direction of the back hall.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look behind curiously, but saw two burly generals striding out of the back hall.
"Liang Xing!?" Looking at one of the generals, someone exclaimed.
Two generals, one is Liang Xing, the general under Guo Bi's account at the beginning, and later Guo Bi's army was defeated, Liang Xing killed Guo Bi and surrendered, Chen Mo also attached great importance to the Xiliang generals, like Zhao Cen, Yang Ding, Liang Xing are all reused, and Yang Ding is now with Chen Mo on the expedition, was named Zuo Zhonglang General, Liang Xing stayed in Guanzhong, as the deputy general of Wuyi to guard Guanzhong, logically speaking, because of Chen Mo's policy, the children of meritorious soldiers are arranged by the imperial court to enroll, and they are all extremely supportive of Chen Mo, this Liang Xing actually appeared here, which is a little incredible.
Liang Xing smiled and saluted everyone: "I've seen you." ”
"General Liang has been dissatisfied with Chen Mo's tyranny for a long time, and this time we will respond to Yuan Gong's order, and General Liang will contact me as soon as possible." Li Tai smiled.
Everyone nodded, Liang Xing is also a general, and he is quite influential in the army, especially in the Xiliang Army, and his support will naturally have a better chance of success.
"It's just ......" one of them frowned and looked at Liang Xingdao: "General Liang is the deputy general of Wuyi after all, if General Liang transfers troops without authorization, I am afraid that Wuyi will definitely find out." ”
"I'll have one more available." Li Tai looked at the other person.
This person is unknown to everyone, not a general in Guanzhong, or even a general under Chen Mo, and for a while he was a little unsure of the identity of this person, they all looked at Li Tai.
"You may not know it, but this person is one of the commanders of the Baibo Righteous Army back then, Han Xian." Li Tai smiled.
At that time, Yang Feng surrendered, and now he has no soldiers and no power under Chen Mo, and only received a false position, Hu Cai and Li Le died in battle, and Han Xian fled without a trace.
A scholar suddenly frowned: "The bandits who have been making trouble in the Hukou Mountain area all these years......"
"It's General Han!" Li Tai stopped the other party's words and said with a smile: "As early as when Chen Mo ravaged Hedong, I met Brother Han and admired his talent, these years Brother Han has been dormant in the Hukou Mountain area, I have trained an elite soldier with money and food, this time General Han has been in the help of Xia, secretly arrived in the area of Huangbaicheng, then send troops to attack Huangbaicheng, lead that Wuyi to send troops, if Wuyi personally led the troops to fight, then General Liang took the opportunity to seize the right of the defenders, led the troops to take Chang'an, if General Liang was ordered to fight, then pretended to be defeated, and lured Wuyi to send troops, Join forces with General Liang to capture and kill Wuyi, then the military power in Guanzhong is in my hands, and you will gather the generals in Fuzhong to quickly capture the city! ”
Everyone watched Li Tai talk eloquently, and when Bai Bo was defeated, Chen Moke had not yet been involved in Guanzhong, that is to say, Li Tai had been secretly accumulating his strength at that time, and now he suddenly became troubled, obviously not just because of Yuan Shao's letters.
Seeing that Li Tai was so well prepared, they responded at the moment, ready to take this opportunity to break away from Chen Mo's control.
Of course, after the victory, the question of how to distribute the interests of Guanzhong also needs to be discussed, although it is said to respond to Yuan Shao, but if Yuan Shao wants to take profits from them, Yuan Shao will be very critical to them in the future after defeating Chen Mo, if they continue to follow the current decree like Chen Mo, then they will go to such great lengths to help Yuan Shao subvert Chen Mo, and even risk the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, who would be willing?
Regarding this matter, Li Tai had obviously reached a consensus with Yuan Shao's envoys, after Yuan Shao captured Guanzhong, he restored the old system of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, as the heroes who responded to Yuan Shao, they could not only be knighted, but more importantly, they also had a large number of fields and rewards.
The fertile soil of Guanzhong, coupled with the prosperity of the population under Chen Mo's governance, if the old system can be restored, for these people, it will be the best result.
"We are willing to respect Duke Yuan, please give an order to Duke Nian Geng, and we will definitely help!" The discussion is set, when even someone speaks aloud.
"Don't worry, things have to come step by step, that Zang Hong is by no means easy to follow, I want to achieve great things this time, we must act cautiously, General Liang will return to the Lanchi camp first, and after General Han raises the matter, General Liang should seize power as soon as possible." Li Tai looked at Han Xian and Liang Xing with a smile.
"Nian Genggong rest assured!" The two said yes and left.
Li Tai discussed with everyone how to act after the incident over there, taking the opportunity to occupy Chang'an City, blockading Guanzhong, and cutting off Chen Mo's way back before leaving.
Han Xian took the hat and quietly went out of the city all the way, ready to go back to gather the army to cooperate with the incident, but saw four people suddenly appear in front of him, blocking his way.
Han Xian frowned, feeling bad, and silently touched the short sword on his waist.
"Poof~"
A crossbow arrow pierced Han Xian's arm, and a young man with a crossbow came to Han Xian's side, Han Xian wanted to make a move, but the four men who were blocking the road before rushed up and pressed Han Xian to the ground.
"Who are you waiting for? Why attack each other for no reason? Han Xian struggled and roared angrily.
"General Han, in Xia Yangqing, the governor of the Marquis of Changling, I have been following General Han for a long time, let's go with him." Yang Qing squatted down, stretched out his hand to remove the hat, looked at Han Xian and said: "It has been several years since the White Wave Thief was destroyed, and you were lucky to escape with your life back then, if you stay in Hukou Mountain with peace of mind, we will not have time to pay attention to you, but I want to come to Chang'an to be the enemy of my lord and kill myself." ”
"I ...... What is this general talking about? I don't understand it. Han Xian's heart sank, and he silently lowered his head and said.
"It's very good, I hope the general won't understand it later." Yang Qing stood up, waved his hand and said, "Bring it into the car and enter the city, don't let people notice." ”
In order to avoid people's eyes, Han Xian went to a place where no one was there after leaving the city, and he was not afraid of others seeing it at this time.
Han Xian was gagged, threw into the car, felt the shaking of the carriage, and closed his eyes in pain...... Finished!
