As Fu Zhu predicted at the time, the rapid fall of Dongjun and Dongping County was a huge threat to Bao Xin of Jibei County, and the passage between Bao Xin and Liu Dai was completely cut off, and now Bao Xin was completely sandwiched between Yuan Shao and Han Fu in a bellows game of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

Just when Bao Xin was helpless, Han Fu's envoy arrived, of course, Yuan Shao's envoy Xin Ping arrived at the same time, and the purpose of both sides was the same, both were to persuade Bao Xin to vote for his lord, but the attitudes and methods of the two were completely different.

The task that Xin Ping received from Yuan Shao was to coerce Bao Xin to surrender, note that it was coercion rather than persuasion, nor persuasion! As for why Yuan Shao did this, naturally it was not only because Yuan Shao was unhappy with Bao Xin, but more because Yuan Shao had to do this, in order to establish power.

Now Yuan Shao is gradually facing the problem of the increasing arrogance of the world, this problem may have nothing to do with Yuan Shao's character, but related to Yuan Shao's policy, the more Yuan Shao's policy depends on the family, the more arrogant the family will be, and now Yuan Shao has slowly felt some of the feelings of the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong.

However, the gap between Yuan Shao and Liu Hong is still very large, Liu Hong ascended the throne at a young age, and there was no prestige, and later Chun Lu Ling was married to the emperor Lei Zhen and ∈ Qiaoqiao. p> Yuan Shao is different, Yuan Shao is now prestigious, therefore, Yuan Shao has more choices, and Yuan Shao still adopts a relatively mild method during the period of stability, that is, to kill chickens and monkeys, and deter those who have excessive ideas in their hearts, and those who have always been against Yuan Shao and smeared Yuan Shao are the objects of Yuan Shao's demonstrations, and Bao Xin is such an existence.

Therefore, Yuan Shao would not adopt a soft policy towards Bao Xin. Even if Xin Ping felt that the effect of Huairou's policy would be better, he could not openly disobey Yuan Shao's instructions, and the smart Xin Ping could more or less guess Yuan Shao's thoughts, not to mention, even Xu You, Xiao Ji and others did not raise any objections to this. Xin Ping is even more reluctant to be this up-and-coming bird.

It's just that. It seems quite difficult to coerce Bao Xin to take the initiative to go into the field and take Jibei County without spending a single soldier, because Han Fu's envoy also arrived in Feicheng, although Xin Ping immediately reported the news to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao did not give further instructions. Xin Ping had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

When Xin Ping sighed helplessly, the judge was secretly talking with Bao Xin as a VIP.

"Lord Bao, the lord of my family is sincerely invited, if Lord Bao is unwilling to leave the father and people of Jibei County, he can continue to stay. If Lord Bao does not want to stay in Jibei County, then the county under the jurisdiction of the lord can be ruled by any of them. ”

Bao Xin sighed secretly, looking at this confident smiling face, he only felt very helpless.

What exactly does Bao Xin want to do? Be a first-class character of Zhou Bo and Chen Ping? Or do you just want to be a big man official worthy of your conscience? Or do you have something else in mind?

There are some questions that Bao Xin can't answer by himself, and he has made friends with Liu Dai in order to protect the safety of Jibei and resist the threat from Yuan Shao. The root of the grudge with Yuan Shao came from He Jin, who could be said to have rewarded Bao Xin. And he has a lot of faith in Bao Xin, but unfortunately, He Jin died under the calculations of the Yuan family, so Bao Xin has no good impression of the Yuan family.

Arguably. Bao Xin's behavior has basically been based on this, even if he actively participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, in fact, it was to avenge He Jin and directly kill He Jin's people. It's Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, what Bao Xin hopes most is to be able to confront Dong Zhuo. At the same time, there are also forces hostile to Yuan Shao, speaking of which, there are still a lot of such forces, such as Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, etc., but these people are too far away from him, relatively speaking, Han Fu is also a choice, although Han Fu did not openly oppose Dong Zhuo, but Han Fu and Yuan Shao are already in an endless relationship, at least one condition is met.

"Zhengnan, your lord's conditions are indeed fair, but the official has a grudge with the Yuan family, and he also hopes to end this grievance.

The judge smiled and said: "Lord Bao, to put it disrespectfully, there are still people in Yecheng who can reconcile with the Yuan family, and there must be people who do not lose their wealth and nobility, but only the lord of my family can't have this kind of thought." Master Bao, just imagine, if my family head votes to serve the Yuan family, how the Yuan family will treat my family master, I guess I want to get rid of him and then be safe! Or, does Master Bao think that Yuan Shao is a broad-minded and tolerant person? ”

Bao Xin thought about it, but Bao Xin still had doubts: "Then Han Tingshi thinks that the two majesties of Chang'an and Jincheng, who is the Han Zhengshuo?" ”

The judge rolled his eyes, and he didn't quite understand Bao Xin's thoughts, this matter can only be gambled, or would it be better to answer honestly?

"Lord Bao, this matter is a family affair of the Heavenly Family, and it is not suitable for outsiders to participate in it, but the head of my family thinks that it is not important who is Zhengshuo, who is important is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, as the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, of course, it should focus on the social welfare of the Han Dynasty and the well-being of the people, so whoever is beneficial to the Han Dynasty is Zhengshuo."

Bao Xin smiled quietly, this choice can be said to be quite smart, but it also shows Han Fu's utilitarianism, Bao Xin has nothing to say, most of the current princes will choose to do this, even if it is Liu Dai, a royal descendant, it is also flattering on both sides.

"Oh, so what does your lord think of Dong Zhuo?"

"This country thief too! Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, rebellious, and incompetent, hijacking the Son of Heaven to gain self-respect, plundering the people and enriching himself, and everyone in this country could be punished for their own punishment1

The trial immediately showed Han Fu's resolute anti-Dong position, which made Bao Xin feel a lot more comfortable, although Bao Xin himself knew that this kind of slogan was more of a slogan, and it was still very early for Han Fu to compete with Dong Zhuo.

"Exactly. So if the official agrees to change the banner and is willing to stay in Jibei, how will your lord handle the affairs of Jibei? ”

"It's simple, everything is just a matter of rules, but the army will be presided over by Lord Fuzhi, the army needs to be reorganized in accordance with the rules of our army, and the generals may also need to be replaced, after all, Jibei is a critical area bordering Yuan Shao, and there must be strong generals to guard it, and nothing else will change." Oh, by the way, there may be some administrative changes, such as appropriately reducing the population and military strength, and ceding some of the outlying villages and towns to be managed by the Inhumans, etc., but it will not interfere with the original governance of the adults. ”

Bao Xin nodded again and asked slowly, "So, this official has one last question, how does Lord Han Fu plan to resist the attack from the Yuan Shao brothers?" Yuan Shao will even contact Liu Dai, Gongsun Zhan, and Zhang Jiao to work together, and at that time, Lord Han Fu will definitely be in a situation where he is embattled, how to solve it? ”

"Haha, Lord is too worried, this matter is easy to deal with, Liu Dai has sent an envoy to persuade Liu Dai to attack Shanyang County when Yuan Yi's army goes north, presumably Liu Dai should be divided to fight against my lord, or easy to do with Yuan Yi, Liu Dai has already been defeated by our army twice. As for Gongsun Zhan, this person is not strong enough to start a war with me now, and it may be a better choice to take this opportunity to seize Yan County, of course, the best choice is to stand still and sit back and watch the result, because he still has a strong enemy behind him. As for Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, my lord has also sent envoys to go, compared to Guangping, it seems that Hejian and Anping are easier to attack, as well as Taishan, Jinan and Peiguo, these are all by Zhang Bao's side, isn't Zhang Bao worried about the powerful Yuan Shaojun? Therefore, before Yuan Shao said that he would mobilize the surrounding forces to besiege our army, I am afraid that my lord had already said that he had moved everyone to besiege Yuan Shao, and the worries of the adults were unnecessary. ”

In fact, the trial is completely on the good side, as for the worst plan, the trial will not say, and whether Bao Xin can think of it himself is his business, besides, throwing himself into Han Fu to fight against Yuan Shao is more certain than insisting on fighting Yuan Shao and Han Fu alone at the same time!

Bao Xin thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This official understands, but the stakes are very high, please let me think about it, and the Japanese official will reply to Zhengnan tomorrow." ”

The judge sighed slightly disappointed, but still said with a smile:

"I hope that the adults can make the right choice, but as the adults said, this matter is very important, and it is impossible to ignore it, so I will wait for the good news of the adults with peace of mind."

The judge said goodbye from Bao Xin's mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bao Xin should be able to accept Yi Zhi, now he just sent the support of his subordinates and the local clan, the judge rolled his eyes, and beckoned to the entourage beside him, the entourage came over with his ear, the judge gave such and such an order, and the entourage pinched a golden ticket that the trial secretly handed over and turned around and left quickly.

Then the interrogator ordered another attendant to move Xing Ying out of the inn and into a better hotel.

That night, there was a fire in the post house, it is said that a group of strangers did it, the post house was burned down, Xin Ping who lived in the post house was almost burned to death, fortunately his servants sacrificed their lives to save him, but I heard that a lot of hair was also burned, and people were also injured.

Bao Xin just sighed when he got the news, in this way, these local officials and gentry in Jibei County may be difficult to choose to take refuge in Yuan Shao, this trick of trial is really practical enough, in fact, it is not the stranger who really set the fire, but Bao Xin! The trial is just a black pot.
