Chapter 34: Cao's Conspiracy

"Let's go see another person."

"Who?"

Jia Zhuang on the side didn't know what kind of psychological changes Song Daodao had undergone, but he felt that the current Song Daodao suddenly became inexplicable.

"Go see Han Shin." Song Daodao replied.

"Han Xin!" As soon as Jia Zhuang heard this name, he immediately shouted, "Han Gong is at odds with the county lieutenant, you know this, what's the use of going to him?" ”

Song Daodao sneered, walked to a corner on the side of the road, and squatted down.

Jia Zhuang also followed, his face full of anxiety.

"My lord, when is it, why are you still talking nonsense?"

Song Daodao pulled Jiazhuang to his side and forcibly made him squat down, looking old-fashioned: "You, you, you only know how to be reckless, we have to understand the situation and prescribe the right medicine, understand?" ”

"What's the situation?"

Song Dao thought about it.

Although Song Daodao has learned a lot about Shouchun, these situations are too trivial to form a system, and there are still many things that Song Daodao still doesn't know.

"Let me ask you, how did Yan He know that there were thieves entering the city yesterday?" Song Daodao asked.

Jia Zhuang thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that Hao Qianyu reported to the county lieutenant that he found thieves in the city." ”

"Who is Hao Qian?"

"Hao Qian is the ten-captain who guarded the city gate yesterday."

"The one who was killed yesterday?" Song Daodao seemed to have discovered something and confirmed.

"yes."

"Is Tian Zang under him?"

"Yes."

Song Daodao rubbed his knuckles, and asked while thinking, "Did you finally catch the thief?" ”

Jia Zhuang didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "As soon as Tian Zang took office, he issued an order to open the city, and not a single thief was caught. ”

"None of them were caught, and Tian Zang issued an order to open the city as soon as he took office, and the news of the thieves in the city also came out of Tian Zang's team." Song Daodao muttered.

All this came by coincidence, all the beneficiaries pointed to Tian Zang, and the goal pointed to Shouchun's military command.

Song Daodao is generally reluctant to use conspiracy to speculate on others, but in today's form, Song Daodao has to redefine Tian Zang as a person.

This man may not just be a speculative villain, he may well have his own ideas and conspiracies.

"Jia Zhuang, what do you think of Tian Zang?" Song Daodao asked inadvertently.

Jia Zhuang sneered disdainfully: "Speculative villain, what else can you think." ”

"Is there anything unusual about him?"

"What, sir, do you doubt him?"

Faced with Jia Zhuang's question, Song Daodao showed it unabashedly.

"Yes, what happened yesterday is too coincidental with Tian Zang's own behavior, so I can't help but doubt him."

Jia Zhuang nodded, reminiscing about Tian Zang on weekdays.

"Tian Zang is a native of Shouchun, a public servant, honest on weekdays, and he is not a ten-captain until today. If it weren't for what is happening now, I really wouldn't have thought that he would be such a person. ”

"Hmph, it's an honest and humiliating person, isn't this kind of scheming person." After listening to Jia Zhuang's explanation, Song Daodao couldn't help but complain.

Jia Zhuang saw that after listening to Song Daodao's explanation, he still didn't have any tendency to go at all, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and suddenly grabbed it and asked.

"My lord, you've asked everything, are you still going!"

Seeing that Jia Zhuang was a little anxious, Song Daodao patiently pulled him down to his side.

"Don't worry, if things don't figure things out, we will be very passive when we look for anyone. Only by thinking clearly about everyone's hearts can we have better conditions, otherwise what capital do you have for them to release people, with enthusiasm, don't be funny. ”

"I've told you everything I know, what else do you not understand." Jia Zhuang urged.

"Thief!" Song Daodao blurted out, "This is the most critical group in the whole thing." ”

At the beginning, Song Daodao didn't believe much in the existence of thieves, and he thought that thieves were just Cao's reason for trapping himself in Shouchun.

However, the occurrence of the Yan He incident made Song Daodao also begin to rethink this group. 、

I remember that when I was talking to Cao Qi, Cao Ji himself mentioned that Wu Rui had invited him to go to Weihe before, but Cao Qi did not attend the meeting because of the Shouchun thief.

The thief may be a problem on Cao's mind, otherwise he would not have refused to participate in the anti-Qin meeting because of this.

Song Daodao had a bold guess.

Shouchun is an important capital of Cao Qi's anti-Qin, and before the uprising, Cao Ji will definitely hold Shouchun tightly in his own hands.

Holding the full force tightly in your own hands should have two aspects.

On the one hand, there is a threat from the outside, that is, thieves, so Cao Zang is so vigilant against thieves, and Tian Zang's history of superiority, if you think about it in the dark, it is likely that there is the support of thieves behind it.

On the other hand, it comes from within, that is, the position of county lieutenant.

You must know that the county lieutenant is in control of the army of a county, and the importance of such great power to the uprising is self-evident.

However, the previous position of county lieutenant was occupied by a person like Yan He who was not treated by Cao Ji, which was absolutely intolerable for Cao Ji.

This also straightens out why Cao Ji would support the unfair match between Jiang Yan He and Han Xin, and deprive Yan He of his position so quickly after the City Gate Incident.

Thinking of this, Song Daodao suddenly realized.

From the very beginning, Song Daodao underestimated the power struggle within Shouchun, and he always thought that the contradiction in Shouchun was on the opponents of Yan He and Han Xin, but in fact, it was Cao Zhi's management of Shouchun.

Although Cao Ji had been in Shouchun for many years, due to the perfection of the Qin Dynasty's system, it was not possible to gather all the rights of a county into one and achieve the most perfect situation of the uprising.

This kind of struggle for power was not uncommon in the late Qin Dynasty, and the later Peixian county magistrate killed Liu Bangxiao He and usurped the power. Yin Tong, the county commander of Wu County, was also killed by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew and usurped the power of a county.

It can be seen that this kind of power struggle was very common in the county-level cities at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and what Cao Ji is doing now is to prevent the usurpation of power before and after the wave of Qin felling.

In this way, Song Daodao's previous idea was overturned, and Tian Zang was likely to be a figure of Cao Yi's faction from the beginning, just a pawn in this power struggle, a chess piece that Cao Yi used to deal with Yan He and inserted beside him.

Then the previous letter and the fact that there were thieves in the city can also be explained as Cao Yao's deliberate provocation.

Thinking of this, Song Daodao couldn't help but sigh, now he is afraid that his analysis of the city gate incident is right, because once this is the case, it means that there is no room for recovery in this matter.
