Chapter 215: Zhang Jiao buys officials

"Lord, Xianbei is the overlord of the grassland, in order to prevent Xianbei from buying the Northeast countries in advance, why don't you say that Your Majesty will be played as soon as possible, how about the next holy decree of the king of the Northeast?" Xi Zhicai saw that Liu Tai's three sentences were inseparable from the war, and shook his head with a wry smile, there is such a warlike monarch, but he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"This matter is not in a hurry, Murong Feng is back in charge of the army, the most important thing is to stabilize the interior first, run in the soldiers of the three major tribes, and for the time being, he will not set his sights on Buyeo and other countries, of course, except for Louyi, in the past, it was said that the battle of Heihe, Murong Feng's face was lost, and tens of thousands of troops were thrown on the Heihe, with Murong Feng's surname of revenge, coupled with Xianbei's traditional domineering behavior, the Xianbei army will definitely find Louyi to avenge the flooding before going south! Let's also run in on the coordination ability of the three cavalry. Liu Tai said with a smile, for Liu Tai, the more intense the grassland fight, the better, it is best for all tribes to be disabled, and then you can save a lot of effort.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xi Zhicai picked up Liu Tai's words very insidiously and said: "When Louyi can't hold on, and when Fuyu and other countries are cold, the lord will take out this holy decree invited from the Son of Heaven, and he can definitely make the five northeastern countries clenched into a fist and fight to the death with Xianbei, and then I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Zhicai, it seems that your mind is bad enough, so let's leave this matter to you, and you are also fully responsible for the matter, it is best to let Your Majesty know that the situation in the Northeast, with Your Majesty's attitude towards the outside world, will definitely agree with General Ben's idea." Liu Tai nodded, and said with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although Emperor Ling's surname has changed greatly recently, he is good and bad for Liu Tai, but Liu Tai believes that in the treatment of foreign races, Emperor Ling will definitely support himself unconditionally, after all, a person's surname changes again, and it is difficult to change the belief that he insists on, as long as he sees hope for Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling will definitely support Liu Tai unconditionally, which is why Liu Tai still maintains absolute respect for Emperor Ling.

"Well, Zhong also thinks that His Majesty will agree to the request of the lord, but the king of the Northeast is a prince after all, I am afraid that the charter will be more troublesome, and it may even drag on for a year and a half, Zhong thinks that it is better for the lord to send a letter to the Son of Heaven in private, so as to get the full support of the Son of Heaven." Xi Zhicai nodded, thought for a while, and said aloud.

"According to you, the letter clearly says that General Ben will send Xu Wei to your mansion, and after you prepare the recital, you will send it directly to Your Majesty in the name of General Ben." Liu Tai nodded, knowing that although there were more foreign kings in the Han Dynasty, it was not so easy, some sacrifices, ministers discussed, maybe it could be grinded for a few years, Liu Tai didn't have the spare time to waste time.

"No, but I hope that the lord had better put a private seal on the letter, so as not to be suspicious of His Majesty!" Xi Zhicai nodded, and looked at some of the documents on the case that had not yet been opened, the meaning was obvious, suggesting that Liu Tai still had something to discuss later.

Liu Tai frowned, and after sorting out the secret report, he took out one of them, which was marked with the words "eleven groups of urgent items". Recently, the intelligence of Group 11 has touched the nerves of Liu Tai and Xi Zhicai the most, why? Because Group 11 is responsible for information about Zhang Jiao.

The dragon group is divided into thirteen groups, of which the thirteen groups are the largest, and the area of responsibility is also the broadest, west to Liangzhou, east to the northeast are the intelligence range of the thirteen groups, and the other twelve groups are distributed in the land of the twelve states in the world, and the eleven groups are responsible for collecting information on Yizhou in the dragon group, and now it is March 183 AD, only one year before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Tai's eyes are naturally on the Yizhou side.

"Yizhou's secret report, is Zhang Jiao doing anything new?" Liu Tai frowned, muttered, and then directly pulled out the documents included in the cowhide package, only to see that the document read: "Guanghe reported in mid-February of the fifth year, Zhang Jiao secretly met with Cao Qian, the Taishou of Ba County, it is reported that Cao Qian recruited warriors on a large scale in the Ban Yu Barbarian tribe of Ba County, and did not report to the imperial court, there is a counterintention, Long Shiyi guessed, Zhang Jiao is ready to let Cao Qian test the bottom line of the Han Dynasty. ”

"What kind of character is Cao Qian? What does it have to do with Cao Ying? Liu Tai didn't continue to look at it, Liu Tai attached great importance to any piece of information about Zhang Jiao, and looked up at Xi Zhicai and asked.

Xi Zhicai frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Cao Qian's clan has nothing to do with Cao Ying, well, it should be a small gate valve in Shu, and he can sit on the Bajun Taishou, but he bought it in Luoyang West Park with a huge amount of money." ”

"Another official who sells in the West Garden?" Liu Tai shook his head with a wry smile, Emperor Ling's money and food earned in selling officials is really immeasurable, since the major banks in Northern Xinjiang hoarded gold on a large scale, Emperor Ling has also followed suit, anyone who wants to buy an official has to buy gold to buy it, and it is even rumored that Emperor Ling wants to open a bank in Luoyang, of course, this matter will never be approved by the officials.

"Yes, Zhang Jiao collected hundreds of thousands of catties of gold a year ago, sent people to Luoyang West Garden, and bought a lot of Taishou positions in Jingyi Erzhou, among which Zhang Jiao's subordinate Zhang Heng was appointed Taishou in Hanzhong, disciple Zhang Niujiao was appointed Taishou of Wudu County, Zhang Pinghan was appointed Taishou of Yinping County, Zhang Leigong was appointed Taishou of Wenshan County, Zhang Daji was appointed Taishou of Brazil County, Zhang Li was appointed Taishou of Dongguanghan County, Gan Ning was appointed Taishou of Chengdu, Gao Sheng was appointed as Taishou of Shangyong County, and Yan Zheng was appointed as Taishou of Wei Xingjun, It is even rumored that His Majesty offered Zhang Jiao a price of 200,000 taels of gold for the historical position of Jingzhou, as long as Zhang Jiao can take it, Jingzhou will be Zhang Jiao's. Xi Zhicai nodded with a wry smile, for Emperor Ling's mediocre behavior, Xi Zhicai and a group of officials in Northern Xinjiang had long been angry.

"Weixing County and Chang'an are less than a hundred miles away, Zhang Jiao is really a good calculation, as long as you fight together, Chang'an City is like a virtual reality, hey! Well, by the way, isn't Jingzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan? How could His Majesty promise to sell such a heavy position to Zhang Jiao? With His Majesty's surname, trivial matters can be vague, but Jingzhou is such a big county, how could the position of assassin agree to be sold to Zhang Jiao? Liu Tai frowned, if there are too many variables today, Liu Tai would have been confused for a long time in addition to knowing the limited direction of the general trend.

"According to rumors, Your Majesty wants to transfer Ding Yuan to Qingzhou, well, Qingzhou can be connected to Liaodong by sea, and Jizhou is adjacent to Jizhou by land" Xi Zhicai hung up an ugly smile, the meaning was already obvious, and Emperor Ling's hand was obviously to guard against Liu Tai.

Liu Tai opened his mouth and shook his head with a wry smile, Emperor Ling put Ding Yuan there, it didn't matter much to Liu Tai, but the question was that if Ding Yuan was appointed as the assassin of Qingzhou, wouldn't he be far away from Luoyang? When Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang, what should I do if no one sings against Dong Zhuo?

"This matter must be stopped, so let's let the second group in charge of Si Li's intelligence secretly reveal the news that Zhang Jiao may be reversed in Luoyang City, well, it can't be too conclusive, as long as Your Majesty is suspicious, then the Jingzhou Assassin will definitely not fall into Zhang Jiao's hands." Liu Tai believed that Emperor Ling was not a fool, Jingzhou took over the Si Li, and let a person who might oppose hold the power of Jingzhou, Emperor Ling didn't dare, and he couldn't do this kind of thing.

"No!" Xi Zhicai bowed his hand to Liu Tai, and then continued: "In fact, Jingzhou is not in the hands of Zhang Jiao, it has nothing to do with it, the most important thing is that Wei Xingjun is now in the hands of Zhang Jiao, if the troops are sent from Weixing County, after the thieves invade Chang'an, the entire Sanfu region will fall into the hands of Zhang Jiao. ”

Liu Tai nodded, Xi Zhicai and Liu Tai had the same idea, but the problem is that now Emperor Ling's Chrysostom has been opened, unless Wei Xingjun is too strict and makes an unforgivable mistake, it will be absolutely impossible for Emperor Ling to take back Wei Xing's governance in a short period of time.

"Leave this matter aside for the time being, let's talk about it, what are Jia Xu's recent movements?" For Liu Tai, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao have no position to be afraid of, the only person to worry about is Jia Xu, Jia Xu's tricks are almost ghosts, if Jia Xu does everything for Zhang Jiao, Liu Tai really doesn't dare to easily deal with the Yellow Turban soldiers when the Yellow Turban soldiers are in chaos, so as not to fall into Jia Xu's trap and suffer heavy losses, of course, Liu Tai also knows very well that with Jia Xu's most important surname for self-preservation, he will definitely not put all the chips on Zhang Jiao.

According to the detailed work in Zhang's mansion, I heard that Zhang Jiao wanted Jia Xu to be his daughter Zhang Wan's teacher, but Jia Xu did not directly agree, and said it later, but Zhang Jiao did not give up, and asked Jia Xu many times, maybe Jia Xu was also a little tempted, although he did not have the name of a teacher, but he taught Zhang Wan, the daughter of Zhang Jiao, many times. Xi Zhicai said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, if Liu Tai hadn't valued Jia Xu too much, Xi Zhicai would not have knocked Jia Xu with his eyes at all, because Jia Xu's choice was too unwise, and it was much better than the Yellow Sect to join those gate valves in time, right?

"Oh? This is not Jia Xu's style, well, is it Zhang Jiao threatening Jia Xu? Liu Tai frowned, he absolutely didn't believe that Jia Xu would agree to be Zhang Wan's teacher, and he would be a teacher for life, and he would be a teacher, but he would not be able to wash it away.

"I don't know, but I heard that Jia Xu's two students, Jia Long and Jia You were summoned to Yizhou by Jia Xu, after the two arrived in Yizhou, Jia Long was arranged by Zhang Jiao to go to Yangzhou to assist Zhang Liang, and Jia You was arranged in Jingzhou to assist Zhang Bao, just like a military advisor, it is reported that the recent rapid expansion of the Yellow Sect in Jingyang Erzhou is from the hands of these two people." Xi Zhicai said with a worried voice, the skills of these two people are bragged about in the secret protection, with the cautious surname of the intelligence department, if the two of them have no real skills, they will definitely not comment on themselves.

"Students? The surname is Jia, it should be Jia Xu's clan, let the intelligence department of Jingyang Erzhou pay more attention, and it is best to record every move of the two in detail. Liu Tai shook his head, constantly recalling in his heart, it is true that he has not heard the names of these two people, but with Jia Xu's recommendation, it is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary person.
