At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the history of the assassination only had the right to supervise, and the status was not as good as that of the Taishou, if it was not in the same city as the county rule, it was generally in a relatively remote place. For example, the Jingzhou Thorn History Department is stationed in Hanshou, the Yangzhou Thorn History Department is located in Liyang, and the Jiaozhou Thorn History Department is stationed in Longbian, all of which are relatively small county seats. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the central government's control over the local government weakened, and the power of the Thorn History gradually increased, and even led a state with the position of Thorn History, such as Liu Dai of Yanzhou Thorn History, Tao Qian of Xuzhou Thorn History, etc., the residence of the Thorn History Department was even more with the people, Liu Biao moved the Jingzhou Thorn History Department to Xiangyang, Tao Qian moved the Xuzhou Thorn History Department to Pengcheng, and so on.

Zhang Jin did the same, and there was no pressure.

In fact, Zhang Jin refused to come to Jiaozhou to do the history of assassination.

Thinking of him Zhang Jin, a famous man in the world, in Luoyang, he was also a figure who intersected with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and was also in the general He Jin Shogunate, which was highly valued. Back then, Yuan Shao plotted to punish the eunuchs, and it was only by his eloquence that he was able to persuade He Jin to make up his mind. If there is no later incident, then he Zhang Jin is estimated to be like the previous famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, who went out of the shogunate to the state and county to experience, returned to the dynasty to serve in a few years, and then was promoted to Jiuqing, or one day there was a natural disaster or earthquake, and Huang Neng replaced one of the three princes and reached the apex of the Han official eunuch.

It's a pity that there are no ifs. He Jin's death made all this come to naught, and later Dong Zhuo rebelled, and he was forced to follow him to Xi'an. After Dong Zhuo's death, the Western Liang Army was in civil strife, and when the imperial court moved eastward, he was appointed as the assassin of Jiaozhou, replacing Zhu Fu, who was driven away by the people of Jiaozhou.

According to his previous plan for himself, the state and county he went to should be a rich place in the Central Plains, and he would return after a few years of training. However, he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and he was almost tossed by the Xiliang Army and died, not to mention that he was sent to this wild place again. Not to mention anything else, just quietly coming to Jiaozhou, I don't know how many dangers I encountered, and it was a fluke to be able to arrive safely. However, after that, he was relatively lucky, he appeared in Panyu alone, showed his identity, and was directly welcomed to the government by the then Taishou, and then handed over the affairs of the county to him to decide. Later, he learned that the entire Panyu, and even the entire South China Sea, and the entire Jiaozhou were extremely chaotic, and the Nanhai Taishou only controlled the county of Panyu, and could not take care of the surroundings. So in the next few years, he set out to rectify the whole county, organized soldiers and horses, and finally controlled the entire Nanhai County through division and disintegration and war.

But that's the end of it, his decree can't get out of Nanhai County, so he has also thought of a lot of ways, wanting to subdue the counties and unify Jiaozhou, so that the name of Jiaozhou Assassin is worthy of its name. But in the end, he failed. No one wanted to have an extra layer of control on their heads, especially the neighboring county Cangwu Taishou Shiyi, who held his own local clan and sneered at the envoys he sent, so that under his anger, there was a lot of friction between the two counties.

But on the whole, although Jiaozhou is chaotic, the accidents are generally in the counties, and there are very few wars in Kuajun. Don't look at some counties that have not been unified, but once other counties send troops to attack, they will immediately unite and unite with the outside world, including which strangers are the same.

Everyone is too guarded, there is no reason for you to rule me, this is the psychology of which too guards. Even if he is a thorn, he can't pull back these ambitious 2,000-stone high-ranking officials. That's why he felt how lucky he was to be recognized by Nanhai Taishou at the beginning, and maybe his bones were all turned into bones now.

But all this was broken half a year ago, after Yangzhou Mu Liu Feng stabilized the north, he finally stretched out his hand to Jiaozhou, a total of four million troops entered Jiaozhou, and the first to bear the brunt was Nanhai County. As a result, Zhang Jin, who was already having a bad time, became even more unhappy.

If the seven counties of Jiaozhou are united, there is nothing to fear about with a mere army of four million, but the problem is that the counties were originally full of contradictions, and it is difficult to form a coalition and cooperate together to deal with Yangzhou's invasion. So, in such a negotiation again and again, Nanhai County continued to lose, lost troops, only three months, Longchuan, Jieyang was breached, and then Boluo, before attacking Zengcheng, once Zengcheng was captured, the entire eastern part of the South China Sea fell into the hands of Liu Feng, Panyu will face the attack of the Jiangdong army. With an invincible naval army blocking the coast, he can't escape even if he wants to.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin felt tired, and while closing his eyes to recuperate, he scolded Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and all the princes who had harmed the Han Dynasty to such a point - as a celebrity, that kind of ugly words could not come out of his mouth; On the other hand, I was also thinking about how to break the game.

As a famous man of the Han Dynasty, it is really difficult for him to such "trivial things" all day long.

……

The sound of hurried footsteps came, Zhang Jin didn't open his eyes, he felt someone come in, and asked at the end, "How is it?" "The voice is a little hoarse, and there is no celebrity demeanor.

The people who came didn't mind Zhang Tingshi's snubbing, since Yangzhou sent troops, Lord Tingshi's temper was much worse than before, and he was used to it.

"Failed to reach a unanimous opinion, except for the two princes of Hepu and Yulin, who were a little anxious and did not ask for permission to send reinforcements, Ninan and Jiuzhen were too far away to feel threatened at all, worried that their efforts would be thankless, and the two counties were not big, and they were also worried that they would take advantage of the opportunity to seize the territory after sending reinforcements, and they were unwilling to send a large army to travel far away." The person who came said, "The king of Cangwu Shifu tried his best to ask that Zhongsu and Sihui counties be ceded to him as a price before he agreed to send troops. The envoy of Jiaozhi Shifu Jun had different opinions, but Jiaozhi did not come in person, and there was nothing he could do about Shi Cangwu. ”

"He did it on purpose, isn't he afraid that Jiangdong will really seize Jiaozhou?" Zhang Jin opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, his eyes flickering.

The person who came was the Taishou who had previously transferred the South China Sea to Zhang Jin's management, but he had already been reappointed as the head of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Jin thanked him for his merits and let him stay, of course, he was no longer in charge of the affairs of the county, but the Assassin's Mansion was nothing serious, and it was a nominal idle position.

"Of course it's deliberate, everyone knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, but when it comes to the end, who will really care." The former Taishou sighed, his tone was not respectful, "A few years ago, Shi Yi wanted to seek the South China Sea, but failed because of the appearance of Lord Thorn Shi, so he has always been hostile to the South China Sea. This time the Jiangdong Army attacked the South China Sea, and he still hoped that we would fail, and then carry the banner to defeat the Jiangdong Army, take over the South China Sea, or take the opportunity to integrate Jiaozhou. Who made the family the first wealthy family in Jiaozhou, with huge power! ”

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I can only think about it." Zhang Jin sneered, "Liu Feng and his aliens have come to this point, not because of good luck, but because they were killed." Once the Jiangdong Army is allowed in, it is impossible to drive it away. ”

"It's hard for you to run again, tell Shi Yi that the army must be dispatched within half a month, and arrive in Panyu within a month to form a coalition to meet the enemy together." Zhang Jin said in a deep voice, "If not, don't blame the official for directly opening the city and surrendering." Just told him that if the Jiangdong Army was driven away, the matter of Sihui and Zhongsu could be discussed, but not now. ”

"Lord Thorn, but what happened?" The former Taishou was uneasy.

"I just received the news of Zengcheng, and the loss is probably in the past few days, according to the previous actions of the Jiangdong Army, Panyu City will almost be surrounded in half a month." Zhang Jin picked up the case and received information not long ago.

"Let's go, issue another order, call on strangers to help in the battle, increase the reward, forcibly recruit the lord of Hejun, and bring troops to help defend the city within ten days." After a pause, perhaps thinking of the virtues of the alien, he said again, "Do your best, and come as much as you can." ”

"My subordinates understand." The former Taishou nodded.

"Go and go back quickly, this official wants you to secretly send an envoy to Wu County." This sentence made the former Taishou at a loss.

It turns out that surrender is not just talk.
