Seeing this, you must have guessed that all this that happened in the past few days was planned by Yuan Shao in secret!

Between Yuan Shao and the eunuchs, there was a great contradiction.

Yuan Shao's father-in-law, Li Ying, died at the hands of eunuchs. Yuan Shao himself, because of the "disaster of the party" initiated by the eunuchs, had to borrow his mother's mourning for six years to keep filial piety, and then lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and did not dare to go out.

It can be said that if it weren't for the pressure brought about by the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" that year, Emperor Ling had to abandon the party policy that he had adhered to for more than ten years, and Yuan Shao's career would have been ruined by the eunuchs!

Therefore, for Yuan Shao, the eunuch is the biggest enemy in his heart. During the six years of filial piety, he secretly swore more than once in the humble filial piety shed that in this life and this life, he must find a way to eradicate the eunuchs to avenge the "Xinhai Coup" of that year!

The "Xinhai Coup" here is not the "Xinhai Revolution" that everyone knows in later generations. It refers to the coup d'état launched by the eunuchs on the Xinhai Day of September 168 (the seventh day of the ninth month) when the eunuchs learned that the general Dou Wu had contacted the scholars and prepared to kill the eunuchs.

In this coup d'état, the eunuchs, together with the emperor's nurse Zhao Rao, deceived the young Emperor Ling, killed the eunuch Shan Bing, who was close to the scholars, snatched seals, seals, charms, and festivals, coerced Shangshu to falsely pass on edicts, kidnapped Empress Dowager Dou, and hunted down Dou Wu and Chen Fan.

When Chen Fan, who was over eighty years old, heard the news, he led dozens of Taiwei officials and students to draw swords and rush into Chengmingmen, and went to Shangshumen because he was outnumbered and was captured and killed on the same day.

The general Dou Wu galloped into the infantry battalion and raised troops against the eunuchs. At that time, Zhang Huan, a famous general of the Han Dynasty and a general who protected the Huns, had led the army to the expedition before, and had just returned to Beijing at the moment and had not yet understood the situation. The eunuchs and others falsely passed the edict and deceived him. Zhang Huan mistakenly thought that the Dou clan was in rebellion. Then he and Shaofu Zhou Jing led five battalions of soldiers and more than 1,000 tiger army and Yulin army led by Wang Fu to attack Dou Wu.

Dou Wu was besieged and had no choice but to commit suicide; His clan relatives, guests, in-laws, and attendants, Liu Yu, Tun Cavalry Captain Feng Shu and others were all exterminated; Hu Ben Zhonglang's generals Liu Shu and Shangshu Wei Lang were also framed and forced to commit suicide; Empress Dowager Dou was placed under house arrest in Nangong; Li Ying and others were dismissed again and imprisoned for life.

Subsequently, the eunuchs induced the young Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to give an order, so that more than 100 people, including celebrities Li Ying, Du Mi, Zhai Chao, Liu Ru, Xun Yi, Fan Fan, and Yu Fang, were imprisoned and executed. Six or seven hundred scholars were arrested, killed, exiled, and imprisoned in various places.

It is the second "disaster of the party".

In order to eradicate the eunuchs. When Yuan Shao was living in Luoyang, with the help of friends such as He Yan, Zhang Miao, Xu You, and Wu Fu, he secretly planned how to rescue the party members and crack down on the eunuchs. Later, he got in touch with Zhang Jian, a famous man who absconded in Xianbei in the north, and through Zhang Jian's relationship, he met Zhang Jiao, a "virtuous teacher" who was already well-known in Jizhou at that time.

After a series of temptations, Yuan Shao figured out Zhang Jiao's plan and felt that this was a good opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs. Subsequently. He began to covertly use his wealth and connections among the party members to secretly support the development and growth of the "Taiping Dao" in various places.

"Taiping Dao" has Yuan Shao, as the leader of the party, with strong economic support, and taking advantage of the years of continuous disasters in the world, which is like a spark in the prairie and can develop and spread in the eight states of the Han Dynasty.

With such a relationship, Yuan Shao can be said to be well aware of the plans and trends of the high-level of "Taiping Dao". Even when the "Taiping Dao" was first raised, "eight states were raised at the same time." The overall strategy of "Qi Hui Jingshi" was planned by Xu You's staff officers.

Wait until the Taiping Road will be roughly completed after the preparations for the uprising are roughly completed. Only then did Yuan Shao decisively cut off the relationship with the "Taiping Dao", and strictly avoided suspicion on the surface. In this way, the "Taiping Dao" move has become the best, and he can participate in the affairs of the new court as a behind-the-scenes hero. Even if the "Taiping Road" fails. will not implicate Yuan Shao himself.

However, Yuan Shao did not expect that once the Yellow Turban Rebellion was launched, the eunuchs would be able to abandon the "party management" policy so quickly and use a large number of party members to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. In the face of changes in the national policy of the imperial court. Yuan Shao was difficult to grasp for a while, so he had to follow the trend first, and went out of the imperial court as Yuan's sister-in-law, and became a general in the tiger in one fell swoop.

With the "first general of the Han Dynasty" Huangfu Song like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, easily clearing the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country one by one, Yuan Shao's action to eliminate the eunuchs was a failure. However, he was able to take advantage of this great change in the world, with the prestige he had cultivated in more than ten years, to become a new officialdom in the world's attention in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a slight gain.

In the following years, while Yuan Shao was promoted, he was still secretly planning various plots to kill the eunuchs. After the failure of the attempt to assassinate Shi Wang Fen in Jizhou last year, Yuan Shao found that it was impossible to achieve this goal by relying on the strength of the party alone. After careful consideration, he decided to use the power of the newly promoted general He Jin to deal with the eunuchs.

He Jin himself was born in a poor family and relied on eunuchs to start his family. It would have been impossible for such "despicable" [lowly status and shallow knowledge] characters to be able to enter the eyes of the party members who are known for their character and integrity. However, with Yuan Shao secretly plotting, the rest of the party members also wanted to get rid of the eunuch in one fell swoop, and had to agree to the revenge policy of "using He Jin".

As a result, under the arrangement of Yuan Shao, the leader of the party, many famous party members accepted the conquest of the great general He Jin and entered the shogunate of the great general. Subsequently, when He Jin faced the suppression of Emperor Ling of Han, Yuan Shao personally visited him and formally formed an alliance with the general.

Of course, Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and is himself regarded as a model for the world's corporals, will not really take He Jin, who was born in a poor family, in his eyes. In Yuan Shao's plan, He Jin himself, as a relative, was also the target of being eliminated by the scholars. For him, the best ending is that the general and the eunuchs fight to lose both and die together.

In this way, the party members and scholars led by Yuan Shao can step on the bones of those national silverfish, easily ascend to the court, control the supreme authority of the Han Dynasty, and rescue the Han Empire, which is already in dire straits, from the process of continuous decline!

In the process of achieving this ultimate goal, Yuan Shao has been serving the general He Jin wholeheartedly. In the recent evolution of the situation, Yuan Shao only made two shots in secret, and then the whole situation successfully moved in the direction he wanted to achieve.

The first time he made a move, Yuan Shao asked He Yan, who was deeply relied on by the general, to forge the order of the general who ordered Dong Zhuo to march into Luoyang. This shot directly drove the eunuchs to a dead end by the generals. In addition to fighting to the death with He Jin, he was kicked out of the palace alive. No matter which way it is, the authority of the eunuchs cannot be preserved.

In the second shot, Yuan Shao falsely spread the general's intentions, so that the governors of the surrounding states and counties made a big deal against the relatives of the eunuchs. In this way, because of these hostile actions in the state and county, He Jin will have the idea that he will kill them.

Although Yuan Shao hated the eunuchs very much, he never dared to underestimate the cunning of these eunuchs. In his prediction, once the eunuchs were forced to make up their minds to deal with He Jin, it would be difficult for He Jin to escape this catastrophe.

It's just that Yuan Shao couldn't have imagined that these eunuchs' patience was so strong that it made him outrageous. The eunuchs who were secretly placed by Yuan Shao looked like life and death were on the line. However, these eunuchs can still accept it, bow their heads in front of He Jin, and look forward to a comeback in the future through unconditional concessions.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao, who had endured so much, had to take the risk of using the last killer move in the face of the situation that the general He Jin was about to win a big victory in the court struggle. This killer move, of course, is that through listening to the general's side for a long time, he has already gained the "Thor" Chun Yuqiong, who is trusted enough by He Jin.

He Jin knew that Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Shao were close friends. However, he didn't know that the relationship between Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Shao was ten times closer than in his eyes. He Jin, a mere "butcher", how could he really let Chun Yuqiong serve his life?

In the disaster of the party, Chun Yuqiong was captured and bought by the eunuchs, and it was Yuan Shao who hid him. Later, Chun Yuqiong was injured by Zhang Jiao's "falling thunder" demon technique, if Yuan Shao had not sought medical advice for him and tried his best to treat him, Chun Yuqiong's body would have been abolished long ago.

With these causal relationships, as a party member who pays attention to integrity, Yuan Shao only needs a word, and Chun Yuqiong is willing to go to the soup for him, although he will not regret it. Under the general righteousness of the world of "revitalizing the Han Dynasty", the little personal favor given by He Jin is only a small ......

As soon as Chun Yuqiong's secret card comes out, it means that between Yuan Shao, He Jin, and Echinism, there will be no room for turnaround. Chun Yuqiong goes down with a knife, either you die, or I die!

Of course, it can become Yuan Shao's ultimate killer feature, and the arrangement in it is extremely perfect. In this design proposed by Xu You, Yuan Shao will lead his subordinates to guard the gate of the palace city on the grounds of worrying about the safety of the general.

Once Chun Yuqiong succeeded in killing He Jin, he should immediately send a signal to inform Yuan Shao. Then, Yuan Shao can rush into the palace under the banner of avenging the general, and take the opportunity to kill all the eunuchs!

In this design, there may be some minor issues.

For example, the Changqiu Palace, where He Jin met with the eunuchs, was miles away from the arch. After Chun Yuqiong succeeded, how could he notify Yuan Shao as soon as possible?

Another example is the walls of Miyagi, which are high and thick. How could Yuan Shao break through the guards of the palace gate as soon as possible, chase down the eunuchs, and not give them a chance to fight back?

Also, after entering the palace, how to make everyone in the world think that it was the eunuch who killed the general He Jin, so as to preserve his own reputation, so that he could enter the court and take charge of the world in the future?

For these problems, He Yan, who is famous for his resourcefulness, and Xu You have studied for a long time and solved them one by one. (To be continued......)
