151 The mastermind behind the scenes

(Opening International Management ^_^)

(Ask for collection, recommendation, reward) ^_^

Three days after Zhao Yun received the order, he came to Cao Zhang's mansion to ask for a meeting, and now Cao Zhang has a group of subordinate officials, so he no longer shy away from others coming to his house to meet him, so he met Zhao Yun in the study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, Yun has already asked Ma Han's two sons about their living habits, their hearts, and who they have interacted with after coming to Xudu, and they are all recorded in this volume of silk."

Cao Zhang didn't look at it after taking it, but asked Zhao Yundao, "What does Zilong think is suspicious?" "He knows the truth of making the best use of things, and if he did everything himself, he Cao Zhang would have died of exhaustion.

Zhao Yun said: "On the surface, there is nothing suspicious, the northwest dialect that the two of them learned is vivid, and their living habits are not bad, but at the end of the fourth year of Jian'an, these two sons suddenly befriended Kong Yuan, the son of Taizhong Doctor Kong Rong, and this Kong Yuan sent a lot of maidservants and concubines to the two sons, and since then, the maids and concubines around the two sons have been unknowingly changed. ”

"Four years of Jian'an? A lot of great things happened that year! My theory of the three clans began to spread in that year, Kong Rong? Kong Rong? When His Majesty appointed me as the governor of Jinwu, he strongly objected, obviously knowing that the governor would take over the defense affairs of the Proton Mansion, so in this way, this person is indeed a thief, so there must be a part of this stealing the day! Cao Zhang said indifferently.

Zhao Yun said: "This matter is very likely, because the two sons of Ma and Han came to Xudu from the second year of Jian'an, and it is really strange that this Kong Yuan suddenly became friendly with him at the end of the fourth year of Jian'an. ”

"Now that the sons of Ma Han and the two must have returned to Xiliang, sending the proton back to his hometown is to force the two to rebel, why did Kong Rong do this? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, huh? Cao Zhang had a little headache.

Zhao Yun was silent, obviously he didn't know very well, Cao Zhang suddenly remembered a person, that is, Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei, Liangzhou, this person was born and grew up in Si, and he is more familiar with the situation in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, so he must be able to sort out a clue, thinking of this, he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you are doing a good job!" Inform Xia Houheng, don't let those sergeants who changed guards leak the news and leak the things you asked them. ”

Zhao Yun replied: "No! After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After Cao Zhang waited for Zhao Yun to leave, he took the guards directly to Jia Xu's mansion to meet him, and after seeing Jia Xu, Cao Zhang waved off the guards and said that Ma Teng, Han Sui's proton had been dropped after the end of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Jia Xu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and suddenly said: "This happened just after the Yang family's large-scale migration, and there was a big article in the middle. ”

Cao Zhang said in surprise when he heard this: "Mr. is saying that the Yang family is the mastermind behind the scenes?" After sending the sons of Ma Han and Han back to Liangzhou, they were forced to rebel? And then connect into a line of Kou Guanzhong? Cao Zhang's heart jumped when he thought of this, if the Yang family gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, coupled with Ma Teng Han Sui's Liangzhou soldiers, it would not be a problem to take down the warlords in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and half of Guanzhong would fall under the Yang family and the Ma Han coalition army, and this situation would only be worse than Yuan Shao's presence in Hebei.

Because there is a large scattered pass in the pass separated from Xiliang, if the Ma-Han coalition army accounts for half of the pass, the danger of the Dasanguan no longer exists, and the Sanfu land controlled by Zhong Xuan will face the siege of the Yang family and the Ma-Han coalition army, and Yuan Shao of Hebei has not been destroyed, and the Cao army is unable to give assistance at all, so the best result is to return to Sili and rely on Hangu Pass to defend the Heluo Plain.

In this way, the Yang family plus Ma Teng Han Sui, sitting on Liangzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou soldiers are brave, Yizhou is the largest state in the world, the wealth is second to none, the Guanzhong Plain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after the Cao army destroyed Yuan Shao, their foundation has also been solid, plus the Jiangdong Sun family, Jingzhou Liu Biao, I am afraid that it is more complicated than the three-legged situation.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Even if the Yang family is not the mastermind behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the relationship, Ma Han is reversed, and the Yang family is the most profitable, but from the perspective of the general trend of the world, the most profitable should be those who pass by and steal the country in the mouth of the third prince, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou, which are enough to become the foundation of the resurgence of the Jingshi clan." ”

Cao Zhang asked, "But what is the benefit of this matter for Kong Rong?" Why did he join in? ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Kong Rong is also a famous family, so naturally he doesn't want the clan to lose power, but just a Taizhong doctor is afraid that he doesn't have the ability to do that stealing the day, and if he wants to change two people in Xudu, he can't do it without some financial resources and connections, and the person who can come up with this strategy is afraid that it is not simple, and it is definitely not Kong Rong's illusory person who can come up with it, as for Yang Xiu, he may be able to think of it, but this person is in Hongnong, has never entered Xudu, and he doesn't know much about Xudu's personnel, and can come up with a plan, I can't think of anyone who can use it, so I don't dare to do this act rashly, because I think that it is another famous family who does this stealing the day, and they must have received the news that the Yang family is benefiting in Yizhou, so they find a way to echo the Yang family, this family should not be very far from Xudu, so it is convenient to understand the personnel of Xudu, and it is also convenient to fund the action, and there must be wise people in the clan, and it is by no means the Yang family who left Hongnong in the fourth year of Jian'an. ”

Not too far from Xu? Will there be wise men among the people? Cao Chang suddenly thought of the Sima family in Hanoi County in the Sili region, the junction of Sili and Yingchuan, and it was not difficult for the Sima family in Hanoi County to understand the situation in Xudu, and he said it in his own three clans, as smart as Sima Yi, he would inevitably see the impact of these remarks on the ideological trend at that time, and he also knew that if there was no base and force, it was no longer enough to maintain the interests of their family with cold violence such as politics and ideology, so when the Yang family left Hongnong, they also moved.

It's just that they moved more strategically, stole Ma Teng and Han Sui's son, and sent them back to Xiliang, so that Ma Teng Han Sui received his son, and he must be suspicious in his heart, because the proton had already committed a big taboo when he left the capital, and the only remedy was for Ma Teng and Han Sui to bring their son to the capital to ask for guilt, but for them who supported the army, this was simply impossible.

And when they learned that the Yang family's control of Yizhou was just around the corner, and they would become allies with them, and then Sima Yi helped them with advice, it was no longer a dream to defeat Guanzhong, Han Sui and Ma Teng had attacked the Guanzhong Plain several times in a row before returning to the imperial court, but they were defeated by Dong Zhuo and Li Dao successively, and they were forced to return to the imperial court by Zhong Xuan's letter. Now that they have the Yang family's ally, the wisdom of the Sima family, and the proton has returned, as long as Ma Teng and Han Sui are not fools, they will not bring their sons to Xu Du to ask for guilt, because they also saw that although Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shao, it was not an overnight thing to eat Hebei, so this is a good opportunity for them to expand their territory, and their son has returned, what are they afraid of?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang said hatefully: "It must be the ghost of the Sima clan in Hanoi!" There are still their internal responses in this capital! Be sure to catch it! ”

Jia Xu thought about it and said: "That's true, today, except for the Sima family and the Yang family, I'm afraid that few families have such a bold son, the third son, I think the strategy of the Sima family is not simple, he not only wants to force Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also wants to use their and the Yang family's forces to eat the warlords in Guanzhong, and become a force in Guanzhong, and then unite Xiliang and Yizhou to compete with the imperial court, and then force Liu Zhang or persuade Jingzhou Liu Biao to play the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and then Jingzhou, Yizhou, Xiliang, Yongzhou, Hebei Yuan Shao's remnant party, In addition, the Eastern Wu division is famous, and our army will become the target of everyone! ”

Cao Zhang was shocked when he heard this: "If when our army crossed the river to occupy the territory of Hebei, he played the banner like this, and several forces attacked Xudu together, and our army could not return to the army in Hebei, wouldn't it be to give the Son of Heaven to others?" At that time, the foundation of our army will no longer exist? It's just that I still don't understand, how can the Sima family be able to control the warlords in Yongzhou? Even if they were afraid that the strength of Ma Han and the Yizhou Yang family would be subordinate to them, it would be difficult for them to be used by the Sima clan at the same time! ”

Cao Zhang originally thought that they would be able to resist at most, but he didn't think that they would imitate the rebellion of the Seven Kings during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to play the banner of the Qing monarch's side, but if it was Liu Biao or Liu Zhang's advocacy, and Cao Cao was a courtier with a foreign surname, this would be famous, and then the Yang family, the princess family, and Ma Han's troops, as well as the Jiangdong Sun family's pandering, this momentum was only afraid that it would be worse than the Seven Kings Rebellion, and if the Cao army could not withdraw in Hebei at that time, then the foundation of the Central Plains would inevitably be divided by several forces.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun seeing the clues, even if Kong Rong opposed Cao Zhang's official position in the court, I am afraid that he would not show flaws, and then Cao Jun would go to Hebei to devour Yuan Shao's territory without knowing it, which would be tantamount to exposing his own foundation.

As long as they invade Xu Capital and welcome the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will really become a thief, and Emperor Xian will naturally have another rhetoric under the hostage of others, no matter how much he favors the Cao family, he will not change, because he wants to protect himself.

However, the two key points of this strategy, stealing the day and integrating the warlords in Guanzhong, they did the first point, but how did they do it in the latter? Cao Zhang didn't understand, so Cao Zhang asked.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The warlords in this pass are either Dong Zhuo's remnants, or the remnants of Li Dao Guo Yan, or some Mao thieves and miscellaneous soldiers, as long as there is a person who is prestigious enough and is born under Dong Zhuo's banner, plus Ma Han and the power of the Yang family, these warlords will naturally look forward to the wind, and this person should be the Sima clan's internal response in Xu Du!" ”

Prestigious enough, born under Dong Zhuo, Cao Zhang took the case and said angrily: "Isn't this Dong Cheng!" He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, and he is also the uncle of the country, if he runs out of Xudu, with the help of Ma Han, the power of the Yang family integrates the warlords of Guanzhong, and Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others play the banner of the side of the Qing monarch, then it will be justified! At that time, he and the Sima family can become their own forces! and Liu Biao, the Yang family, Ma Han, and the Jiangdong Sun family to carve up my Cao Jun's foundation! And our Cao army will be trapped in the north of the Yellow River and entangled with Yuan Shao! ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "However, the third prince discovered their conspiracy in advance, and the other party didn't know about it, and Dong Cheng didn't run out, so the Sima family's plan is not completely successful, the third prince can first put the whole city under martial law, and then report to the lord, I think Mr. Fengxiao will definitely come up with a foolproof plan." ”

Cao Zhang heard the words and said: "That's right, I'll leave first!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.
