Chapter Ninety-Four: Scheme
Those literati who like to talk in their daily lives usually have a habit of calling themselves loyal ministers. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Jiao He is naturally one of them, Dong Zhuo's tyrannical behavior is outraged, and he who claims to be a loyal minister of the Han family will certainly not like Dong Zhuo. Especially after the news of the killing of Empress He and the Young Emperor came, every time he drank and feasted, Jiao He couldn't help but scold Dong Zhuo in front of everyone, so that everyone in Qi knew how disgusted he was with Dong Zhuo.
However, only a very small number of people close to Jiao He know that compared with Dong Zhuo, it is Yan Shao who he dislikes more...
Because it was Yan Shao who made him almost synonymous with incompetence, and it was Yan Shao who made him the biggest laughing stock in Qingzhouββββββ a person who was nominally the lord of Qingzhou, but actually had little existence.
Especially after the Battle of Qicheng, Jiao He ordered his soldiers and horses to return, but was rejected by the leading generals, which also proves how weak his control over the soldiers and horses of Qi is there.
Now when people from other counties talk about Qingzhou, the first thing they talk about is Yan Shao, it is his feat of killing the Wuhuan rebels, as for Jiao He? Who's that? People in many other states and counties even thought that the history of Qingzhou Thorn was Yan Shao...
However, at this time, Yan Shaowei traveled to Qingzhou, Pingyuan and Le'an counties were inclined to it, and Jinan was also ambiguous, and now Jiao He could control only one Donglai County in addition to one Qi country.
It's just that this person did this because he had the same position, and he actually looked down on Jiao He in his heart. In this way, it can be imagined how embarrassing Jiao He is in Qingzhou.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was also a little jealous of Yan Shao, I was afraid that Jiao He would have been bombarded from the position of the assassin long ago, even so, such as Yang Ci and others were also considering whether to change his positionββββββ although he had a good impression of Yan Shao in his heart, he always had to do what he should do, and now Yan Shao is only in his early twenties and is already a county guard, and even the assassin history can't be checked and balanced, if he is thirty years old? Forty years old?
According to the previous merit of defeating Wu Huan, even if he was promoted to two levels, it was not too much, but he was worried that Yan Shao had just reached the prime of life, and if he rashly rose to a high position, he would have many ambitions that he should not have. The so-called unpredictable people's hearts have to be guarded against.
According to the original plan of Yang Ci and others, it is estimated that in another year, Yan Shao will be transferred to a certain county in Jiangdong or Jingzhou. There is basically no war in such places, at most it is to suppress rebellion, so no matter how great Yan Shao's ability is, he can only squat there and sharpen his qualifications.
It's just that no one thought that there would be a fuss about Dong Zhuo, so Jiao He continued to do his assassination history, and Yan Shao was still his county guard.
But for Jiao He, Yan Shao is like a thorn in his eye, as long as he can, he will never let go of any opportunity to get rid of this person, even if it is to cooperate with a traitor who everyone condemns...
After all, the interests of the two are the same ...
"That's true...", he looked at Jiao He cautiously, and the staff member said softly. Previously, Yan Shao had been against Dong Gong in Luoyang, but Ding Jianyang and others were there at that time, and Dong Gong was busy abolishing the young emperor and setting up a new emperor, so he put it down for the time being, and now Ding Yuan is dead, Yuan Shao has fled, and the new emperor has been established, and Dong Gong remembered this person. β
"This Dong Zhuo is really a little belly chicken intestine...", I didn't want to think about myself at all, Jiao He said sarcastically.
"Envoy, you can't say that, this Yan Shao has opposed Dong Gong several times, if he doesn't have some punishment, how can Dong Gong convince the public?" This staff member knew Jiao He's character very well, and he was afraid that he would have a conflict with the envoy sent by Dong Zhuo, so he would personally persuade Jiao He. "Envoy, this is a God-given opportunity, now Dong Gongwei is in the court, and hundreds of officials are submitted, if you can get rid of Yan Shao this time, you can not only get rid of the big trouble, but also please Dong Gong, so that the king is as stable as Mount Tai in Qingzhou?"
The staff is like this, so it doesn't mean that he has secretly defected to Dong Zhuo. It's really not okay, as Jiao He's staff, he and Jiao He are tied together, if Jiao He loses power, he will also suffer together. However, Jiao and this person are not very capable, and it is almost impossible to count on him to deal with Yan Shao, so he has to rely on external forces.
It's just that most of the counties in Qingzhou are now inclined to Yan Shao, and Jizhou also has a good impression of Yan Shao because of the previous reasons. The only foreign aid that can be found is only Dong Zhuo in Luoyang in the distance.
No matter how disgusted Dong Zhuo was, his disgust with Yan Shao was still overwhelming after all, Jiao He hesitated and looked at his staff. "Then what does Dong Zhuo plan to let me do?"
The staff didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right first, and only waved his hand in front of Jiao He after making sure that there was no one around.
"It's very simple, get rid of Yan Shao..."
"Just kidding!" Jiao He's eyes widened in disbelief, and even his voice instantly rose. "If I have this strength, what else do I want him Dong Zhuo to do?"
Indeed, with Jiaohe's dislike for Yan Shao, if he really had the strength, he would have raised troops to attack Beihai a long time ago. Anyway, now that the political situation is chaotic and there is instability everywhere, no one will care about this at this time. The reason why he hasn't started it yet is because his strength is too much worse than Yan Shao.
Not to mention that the two counties of Pingyuan and Le'an are inclined to him, Beihai alone has more than 6,000 soldiers and horses. And what about Qi County? It's only four thousand.
However, hearing his words, the staff smiled slightly. "Otherwise, Dong Gong naturally has his reasons this time, because there are some things that Dong Gong can't do, but the envoy does."
"Oh?" This Jiao He was a bit of a surprise. "What's the matter?"
The staff's voice was much lowered, and the people moved closer to Jiaohe. "I heard that among the Beihai family, there is a person surnamed Hong, who has long been dissatisfied with Yan Shao, so that Jun Hao is also the lord of Qingzhou, and there is also Dong Gong's help, can't it be said that this person can come out to deal with Yan Shao?"
"The Hong family?" Jiao He really didn't know much about the family in Beihai County, so he shook his head. "There are thousands of strong troops under Yan Shao's command, a mere family, and a family soldier of hundreds at most, what is the use of it..."
"Otherwise, the previous general He Jinquan is all over the world, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and finally? It's not that he died at the hands of a few eunuchs...", the staff said with deep meaning. "What's more, now in Beihai City, there is not only one Hong family who is dissatisfied with Yan Shao, so that you should know that not long ago, Yan Shao had organized the residents who moved into Beihai to open up the wasteland, and some of them were even fugitives from various families, those families originally planned to arrest people back, but in the end they had to give up under Yan Shao's intervention, so that Jun thought that they had no complaints..."
Jiao He was silent, as if he had come to his senses.
