Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 74 Yuan Shao set up a pit
In July of the sixth year of Zhongping, Luoyang City He entered the house.
"I also agreed with Cao Mengde's plan?"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he got up and said: "The eunuchs have been a disaster for the imperial court for a long time, and now that the general has obtained military power, he really wants to get rid of the eunuchs beside His Majesty, so as not to rely on the eunuchs when His Majesty becomes an adult in the future." ”
"That's right!" He Jin stroked the beard on his chin with his right hand, and his face gradually became determined: "In this case, General Ben once again went to Yongning Palace in the name of the Queen Mother!" ”
"Great General, slow down!" Yuan Shao hurriedly stopped He Jin and said: "Many false edicts are afraid that the general will have a bad reputation in the future, Shao suggested that the general pretend to recruit foreign troops into Beijing, coerce the queen mother, let the queen mother agree to this matter, and personally issue an edict!" ”
When He Jin heard this, he glanced down at Yuan Shao, and saw that Yuan Shao was possessed, and he couldn't see his face, He Jin was a little undecided in his heart. Although He Jin knew that Yuan Shao was also a member of the family, and he also wanted to get rid of Zhang Rang and the others, He Jin always felt that Yuan Shao's idea was not so simple. However, Yuan Shao's suggestion was also kind to He Jin on the surface, but He Jin really couldn't see the clues.
But Yuan Shao lowered his head and smiled at this time, and despised He Jin even more in his heart: But a butcher, still not let me be left to my way? Hum!
He Jin, who couldn't think clearly for a short time, had no choice but to agree with Yuan Shao's suggestion in order to get rid of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others as soon as possible: "In this way, I thought who was pretending to recruit into Beijing? ”
"Xiliang Dong Zhuo!"
"Huh?!" When He Jin heard this, he wondered in his heart, near Luoyang, there were Hanoi Taishou Zhu Jun, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and others, all of whom were humerus of the imperial court and famous people in the family, why did they want to recruit Dong Zhuo so far away? Moreover, He Jin also knew that Dong Zhuo was a good soldier and very ambitious, so if Dong Zhuo was allowed to enter Beijing, it would be difficult to control this person.
"There are capable people in all the counties around Luoyang, why do you have to recruit Dong Zhuo, who is still known as Liangzhou Mu who is not satisfied with the imperial court?" He Jin hid the doubts in his heart and asked calmly.
Yuan Shao took two steps forward, slowly approached He Jin's ear, and said softly: "General, Dong Zhuo is not a heavy minister, and no one values him in the family. If you let the people of the family enter the king of Jingqin, I am afraid that you will take away a lot of power from the hands of the general! ”
Seeing Yuan Shao approaching, He Jin subconsciously pressed his right hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist, a little vigilant in his heart. After Yuan Shao said his intentions, Yuan Shao relaxed a lot, and wondered whether what Yuan Shao said was true. Although Zhu Jun was born in a poor family, he made great achievements this year, and if he entered Beijing, it would also be an obstacle for He Jin to monopolize power; As for Qiao Mao He Zhang Miao, not to mention, they are all members of the family, not only are they not low-fame, but they are also famous at home, and it is extremely difficult for He Jin to deal with.
He Jin thought about it, and really felt that Yuan Shao's strategy was indeed for himself, and after hesitating for a while, he said to Yuan Shao: "Ben Chu is a great talent, and after I get rid of the treachery around Your Majesty with the help of Ben Chu, I will let Ben Chu enter the court to assist Your Majesty and become the third duke!" ”
"Shao is the staff of the general, and it is Shao's duty to share the worries of the general!" Yuan Shao retreated, shook again, his voice was slightly excited, and he said: "If you can be valued by the general and Your Majesty, Shao Ding should try his best to die!" ”
When He Jin heard this, he didn't say more, just nodded with satisfaction, asked Yuan Shao to sit down, and then the two of them casually drank tea and talked about some family things.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Yuan Shao walked out of He Jin's mansion and boarded the carriage that came to pick up Yuan Shao back to his house.
"Write a secret letter and send the person to Zhang Rang's mansion!" Yuan Shao's face was proud, and he played with the paper fan in his hand and said casually to the coachman outside the carriage.
"Rest assured, Lord!" When the man driving the carriage returned solemnly, he shouted loudly and urged the horse to run towards Yuan Shao's mansion in Luoyang City.
The plan has been completed, I expect that Dong Zhuo will not see the road he is about to take! Hahaha! Yuan Shao sat alone in the carriage, in a good mood.
A few days later, Dong Zhuo, who had not yet withdrawn his troops from Hedong, received a letter from someone unknown.
"What does Mr. Wenhe think about this?" Dong Zhuo was moved after reading the news in the letter. But so blatantly pointing out the way for Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was also worried that someone would design himself. Dong Zhuo, who was uncertain, found Jia Xu, hoping to get some strategies.
After reading the letter, Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "Then it depends on what the state pastor wants?" ”
"Oh?!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was surprised whether he should tell Jia Xu what he thought, so he said lightly: "Benzhou Mu just hopes to help His Majesty get rid of the eunuchs, and he doesn't think about it!" ”
"If Zhou Mu really wants to come like this, he can withdraw and return to Xiliang!" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled slightly, and he was not in a hurry to say: "The eunuch will be removed by someone soon, so there is no need for the state pastor to worry." ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was speechless, why are literati so appetizing, so he was ready to start with Jia Xu's words. However, before he could speak, Jia Xu continued: "General He Jin is now the same momentum in the DPRK and China, and if he wants to monopolize power, he will definitely get rid of the eunuchs." Moreover, there are so many families in the DPRK who want to get rid of Zhang Rang and others. ”
"If the state pastor wants to go to the next level, Jia Xu still has some plans, I don't know if the state pastor likes to listen?" Jia Xu said very indifferently, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
"Oh?! Mr. Wenhe, may as well come to this state to listen to it? Dong Zhuo'an couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and pretended to be indifferent.
Of course, Jia Xu could see Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, he took off the tea in the teacup and said indifferently: "Since someone secretly mentioned the state pastor, the battle between the DPRK and China is not as simple as General He Jin will get rid of the eunuchs immediately as it seems on the surface. The state pastor can imagine that if the general was killed by the eunuch before getting rid of the eunuch, and the eunuch was eliminated by someone with a heart. Coincidentally, at this time, the state pastor led the troops into Luoyang, what will happen? ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. If this is the case, can the Honshu Pastor assist the Son of Heaven in governing the world and succeed in one of His Majesty's indispensable humerus? In this way, the shepherd of this state can be under one person, and above ten thousand people! Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo was short of breath, and his face began to look a little crazy. Seeing this, Jia Xu still chuckled lightly and did not disturb Dong Zhuo.
Wrong! Dong Zhuo suddenly came to his senses, stared at Jia Xu with a little vigilance and asked, "Even if Benzhou Mu enters the court, how can he make the world's families bow down?" If the Honshu Pastor is in power, what good will it do to Mr. Wenhe? ”
"Xu is a state pastor's staff, if the state pastor is powerful, and Xu is a person who makes suggestions, won't Xu also follow the sky?" I don't know if it's a hallucination, even if Jia Xu's face is indifferent, Dong Zhuo still sees a little ambition for power from Jia Xu's face. In Dong Zhuo's view, Jia Xu seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions and said: "There is also a constant struggle among the family to benefit his family. If the state pastor can really enter the court to assist His Majesty, he only needs to be partially co-opted and slightly suppressed, and there will still be many families who attach importance to interests to the state pastor. ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he thought so. Dong Zhuo is not recognized by most families in the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo is also a little hostile to the family, and of course he knows the family very well. What Jia Xu said hit Dong Zhuo's bottom thoughts. Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu with great satisfaction, imagining in his mind the majestic posture of standing beside His Majesty and waving the world, and his eyes began to blur.
Jia Xu lowered his head to taste tea, and saw Dong Zhuo's face with disdain in his eyes.
After a while, Dong Zhuo finally woke up from the scene he imagined, and saw that Jia Xu was still drinking tea with his head down, so he said with a little embarrassment: "In this case, Mr. Wenhe thinks that the pastor of Benzhou should enter the court?" ”
"After the Empress Dowager's edict arrives, the state pastor can go straight to Luoyang!" Jia Xu directly said the decision that Dong Zhuo wanted, and his eyes flashed a little brightly, as if telling Dong Zhuo that I Jia Xu just wanted to let Dong Zhuo enter the court. Seeing Jia Xu's desire that he 'failed' to hide, Dong Zhuo's heart seemed a lot more stable. As long as people have desires and ambitions, Dong Zhuo thinks he can control them.
"In this way, the Honshu pastor is waiting for the Empress Dowager's edict!" Dong Zhuo, who made the decision, was no longer entangled, and immediately ordered Hua Xiong and the others to rectify the five thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, ready to set off at any time.
Although Jia Xu has been in Dong Zhuo's camp for several months, he has always paid attention to Xiang Ao, who is in the north of his main country. And the information collected recently has allowed Jia Xu to know what kind of frontier ambassador his lord is. Jia Xu wants to borrow Dong Zhuo's hand to cholera the world and eliminate the family as much as possible, if Xiang Ao knows, the chance of passing must be extremely small.
In this way, Jia Xu thought of Xu Shu, who had been following Xiang Ao.
After Xu Shu received the letter from Jia Xu in some unknown way, he was excited and frowned at the same time. What is exciting is that Jia Xu has set up such a big situation for Xiang Ao, and has done enough work for Xiang Ao to dominate the world in the future. At the same time, what is more worried is Jia Xu's safety and the impact on the people of the world after the implementation of Jia Xu's strategy.
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!" Xu Shu burned the letter in his hand, looked at the south, felt as if he could face to face with Jia Xu, and said to himself with great melancholy: "The lord is merciful, and he doesn't want to kill more." However, if you want the world to be settled, you must first be in chaos. Mr. Wenhe, the two of us will bear the charge of the Lord who will be spit on for eternity! ”
After making a decision, Xu Shu hurriedly found the important ministers of the Northern Regions, Xi Zhong, Jiang Yan and others, stated the benefits, and intended to unite everyone to persuade Xiang Ao to prepare to take over the entire annexed state. However, Xu Shu, who has been obsessed with military affairs recently, did not expect that the great changes in the DPRK and China would be so rapid that it would take three or five years to merge the state, which could have been easily taken over in the name of the imperial court.
At this time, Xiang Ao was even more annoyed in his heart, and the change between the DPRK and China was too simple. He Jin accepted the news of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan so smoothly, which made Xiang Ao even more uneasy. Especially thinking of the matter of He Jin borrowing external force to eradicate the eunuchs that Xiang Ping 'unintentionally' saw before, the more Xiang Ao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem would be.
In order to be safe, Xiang Ao took advantage of the recent calm in the territory of the Han Dynasty to recover as much money as possible from shops and restaurants in various places to prevent accidents. Even after He Jin destroyed Jian Shuo, he sent people south to receive Shangjun, but in fact, he tried to prepare to go to Shangjun to quietly transport back the things left by Spirit Emperor Liu Hong.
