524 Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness

Regardless of whether it is a eunuch family or a family of relatives, as long as there is an enemy or is not pleasing to the eye, many families have taken the opportunity to take revenge.

The people who took revenge on them were either from the government or from the families that competed with them, and everyone took the opportunity to burn and loot with weapons and torches, and did all kinds of evil.

The reason is also very simple, as long as you claim that the other party has cooperated with the eunuch and has an ambiguous relationship with the eunuch, and then rush up to do it, it's over.

In that case, would the government have sent someone to investigate whether such accusations are true or false?

I can only whine and mourn.

Originally only an operation against the eunuch families and their estates, by June, the policy of purging eunuchs in the ten counties of Jizhou had completely deviated from Yuan Shao's original vision.

Some areas of Bohai County, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Hejian Kingdom have even entered a state of battle royale.

Some people want to take the opportunity to declare personal vendettas, saying that the other party has a relationship with the eunuchs, so they must be cleansed.

Not to be outdone, the purged object will not sit idly by, so they fight back.

Some families with more prominent contradictions fought fiercely with each other, and each side brought their own families and tenants into battle to fight, and the scale was not small at all, and the corpses were all over the field and rivers of blood.

In this process, after some big families annexed the eunuchs' estates, they also took the opportunity to annex some hostile families or some small families that did not deal with them, and the family industries became broader and more powerful.

Some small and medium-sized families lost part of their property, or all of their property, their families were destroyed, and their clansmen were killed.

Seeing that this was the case, officials in some places were more conscientious and action-oriented, and when they saw this, they quickly intervened forcefully to try to prevent the situation from turning in an uncontrollable direction, and ordered that vendetta should not be made at will.

Some officials have no conscience, and even make a fortune themselves, and they can't let this turbulent current disturb the whole Jizhou, so that they can get more benefits.

It is worth mentioning that Tian Feng's Tian family and the trial trial family are both beneficiaries and successes in this process.

Although Tian Feng and the judge did not agree with this matter and felt that this matter was not considered, before they could contact the family, their family had already done it.

For this reason, Tian Feng was quite worried.

In private, when he communicated with the judge about this matter, his attitude was quite pessimistic.

"I think, there should be someone around General Yuan who saw my intentions, so he did such a thing, blame me for not warning the clansmen earlier, alas!"

The trial is also quite worried about this.

"This time, there is no room for relaxation between the Luoyang Imperial Court and Jizhou, Yuan Hao, where should we go?"

"What else can I do? It's also that we underestimate General Yuan too much, and underestimate these people around him, who are smart but are mistaken by smart, alas......"

Tian Feng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I only know that General Liu is the hero of the world, and I never thought that General Yuan, a child of anointed sorghum, also has an unexpected wit, and the result of underestimating the people of the world is to be roasted on the fire." ”

The judge frowned.

"What's next?"

"I don't care about myself, but my family and my people ...... I can't help myself! ”

Tian Feng shook his head: "Now, we have no way out, do what we have to do, if God blesses, we can naturally live, if life should be like this, we don't need to struggle, everything, leave it to God." ”

The judge looked at Tian Feng for a while, sighed, and stopped talking.

The purge of eunuchs continued, and the plundering of eunuchs' property continued, and the whole of Jizhou seemed to be a little fanatical.

Yuan Shao didn't know much about these things, he was in Yecheng and didn't go anywhere, so he naturally thought that all places were the same as Yecheng, cleaning the eunuchs' forces in an orderly manner.

Only kill the eunuchs, not others, it is enough for everyone to seize the property of the eunuchs, so as to obtain the absolute support of a group of local powerful families in Jizhou, and use their support as the confidence to raise the army to resist Liu Bei.

But how can the situation be so simple?

At the end of June of the sixth year of Zhongping, when Yuan Shao received a report from some local officials that the situation was out of control, he was still very shocked, thinking that this could not be true, how could Jizhou enter a state of battle royale?

How can everyone be so brazen, not knowing right from wrong, and killing people everywhere?

As a result, when Tian Feng brought the investigation report of the Qinghe Kingdom next door to ask Yuan Shao to immediately stop the operation, Yuan Shao woke up like a dream.

"Many people use this as an excuse to kill people and families who have contradictions, or collude with the government, slander the other party as a fellow eunuch, conspire with the government to destroy their families, and obtain property and the government to share fifty-fifty, or four or six, or even three or seven shares.

The government generally gets the lion's share, and those who do it will not suffer a loss, and they will take less property, but the land, houses, and slaves belong to them, and their appetite is great, and the eunuchs' things are simply not enough for them to satisfy, so after killing the eunuchs, they began to kill each other.

Some are local families taking the initiative, some are the government taking the initiative to provoke, and even the government takes the initiative to take action, the situation is extremely bad, many places have been chaotic to a certain point, there are two families or multiple families leading troops to confront each other, continue, there is no need for Liu Bei to send troops, Jizhou will be in civil strife! ”

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng's report, his brows furrowed, and he felt that there was a big problem.

"Why don't they obey my orders? Why kill innocent people? My order is to ask the people of the eunuch family! Didn't let them kill each other! ”

"They all obeyed orders, and the people who were killed, the families that were destroyed, were all the same party of the eunuchs."

Tian Feng's face was ugly and said: "As for whether it is really the eunuch's comrade, there is no evidence of death, the government and the beneficiary's family can't find any problems, and they can't be investigated, because of this, they have nothing to fear, general, stop, continue, Jizhou will really be chaotic!" ”

Yuan Shao was speechless.

In the end, in the face of this unexpected situation, Yuan Shao was helpless, feeling that he could not bear the consequences, so he could only consult Feng Ji and Xin Ping.

When they learned that Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao stop, Feng Ji and Xin Ping were still very dissatisfied.

"The more families that kill people, the more families that see blood, and the more families who follow the general, the deeper Jizhou will be, unable to extricate themselves, and cut themselves off from the world, so they can only follow you! Your current situation is already dangerous, if you can't get the effectiveness of the entire Jizhou, where will there be any life? ”

Feng Ji said bitterly: "Just let them mess up, let them kill, so that Jizhou can become your Jizhou from the Jizhou of the imperial court!" If you want to rebel against Liu Bei and avenge the Yuan family, there is only one way to go! Don't be fooled by Tian Feng and the like! ”

Yuan Shao was amazed by this, thought about it, and felt that what Feng Ji said was very reasonable, so he ignored Tian Feng's admonition for the time being, but instead increased his efforts and sent people to the Qinghe country next door to participate in the purge and plundering of the eunuch industry, adding fuel to the fire.

As a result, the situation is becoming more and more unpredictable.

By early July, there were more than 3,000 victims associated with the eunuch family, but a conservative estimate of 10,000 victims unrelated to the eunuch family had died.

The entire Jizhou has indeed fallen into a considerable degree of chaos, the major families have formed gangs with each other, hostile attacks and kills, and a few sane people who have not participated in it can only defend themselves and cannot intervene in the situation.

In the end, the intellectuals of Jizhou, represented by Tian Feng and the judges, could not bear it, and collectively made suggestions to Yuan Shao, strongly suggesting that Yuan Shao stop this policy.

They believe that the operation has been going on for almost two months, and it has brought great damage to Jizhou, and this policy must be stopped immediately, otherwise Jizhou will explode on the spot without waiting for Liu Bei to come!

If Yuan Shao does not give the order to stop, they will act autonomously and do what is necessary to prevent Jizhou from being completely destroyed.

It was also at this time that Xin Ping, Feng Ji and Tian Feng, Juan Pei and others broke out in their first quarrel.

The two sides have their own opinions, and one side believes that the expansion of the operation has caused panic among the people of Jizhou, which is not conducive to Yuan Shao's firm foothold in the local area.

On the other hand, the action is not expanded enough, and it should continue to expand and continue, completely liquidate the eunuchs who are powerful and prosperous in Jizhou, and kill all those who work for the tiger, so as to establish the majesty of Yuan Shao.

In fact, at this time, Yuan Shao's attitude had begun to waver.

Because in addition to some pink eye families involved, this battle royale has contributed to a part of the local powerful forces that have never paid attention to him from the beginning to the end, to unite and help each other, forming a state of self-defense and autonomy in the local area, and even the government cannot command them.

There were families in every county, who left their houses in the city, and went back to the land, and organized their tenants in arms, and shut themselves up, and when anyone went to invade them, they fought back, and no one invaded them, and they did not go out.

Since the eunuchs' industries have basically been uprooted in Jizhou during this period of time, some relatively weak families have also been almost torn apart, and the rest are medium and large family forces that have the ability to deter each other.

So at this stage, everyone is actually a little unable to kill, and they are gradually coming back to their senses, and they feel that they have gone too far before.

Enough money has been made, pink eye has subsided, and smart IQs have taken the high ground again, and they have begun to reflect on whether what they have done before is a bit of a problem.

The patience of the people of Jizhou has reached the limit.

As the saying goes, it's too late, and Yuan Shao has already realized the meaning of this sentence at this time.

Therefore, in the face of the unanimous opposition of local officials in Jizhou, although Feng Ji and Xin Ping and other foreign officials strongly protested and wanted to continue, they could not reverse Yuan Shao's determination to issue an order to abolish the policy.

The two-month purge of eunuchs in Jizhou can be over, but the impact of this incident is far from over.
