Chapter 7: A Warning from Heaven
Qin Jie pondered for a long time before he figured out why things had turned out like this, because the person above him who had sheltered him from the wind and rain had temporarily fallen.
Qin Jie's person can be said to have been picked up by He Jin, so he naturally became He Jin's party, especially after he showed his talents.
He Jin attached more importance to him, and less than a month before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Jie had just been promoted by He Jin from the county lieutenant of a small county town to the governor of Jiangxia County.
All of this is from He Jin's handwriting, but Qin Jie himself is also angry, not long after Chu Gong was killed by Zhang Mancheng, he took Zhang Mancheng's head, which can be regarded as avenging Chu Gong.
Originally, this was a great thing, but He Jin was directly imprisoned by Emperor Han Ling because he was greedy for the conscription food and salary before.
Although He Jin himself was not in any danger, He Jin's henchmen were ruthlessly purged by the Ten Standing Attendants, of course, they started from the branches and leaves of He Jin's big tree.
But the Ten Standing Servants have always felt that they have only gotten rid of one or two petty officials such as county lieutenants and county officials, and they have no strength, nor can they show their means.
At this time, Qin Jie walked into their sight, and Qin Jie's battle report to his subordinates had just been submitted to the imperial court, and Emperor Ling was taken by Zhang Rang before he could see it.
Then Zhang Rang found one of his own doormen, this person has no other skills, but there is no flaw in imitating other people's handwriting.
Zhang Rang asked this person to imitate Qin Jie's handwriting and write a new battle report, and then he personally presented this battle report to Emperor Ling, and praised Qin Jie fiercely in front of Emperor Ling.
Emperor Ling's trust in his father is so great that he can't be overgained, since he is the person who Zhang Rang praises, Emperor Ling will definitely give Zhang Rang this scene.
Therefore, when the decree was made, Emperor Ling's evaluation of Qin Jie was very high, and even in Emperor Ling's holy decree, Qin Jie had been praised to the extent that he surpassed Lu Zhi.
This is exactly the manifestation of Zhang Rang's deep scheming, he knows that if he wants to frame Qin Jie, now is not a good time, because the court is now unanimously targeting the Yellow Turban Army.
Qin Jie was the second Han official to behead the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai in addition to Liu Yuan, although it was not Qin Jie's own hand, it was also his subordinates.
Therefore, Qin Jie's reputation in the Han Dynasty is now increasing rapidly, and if he wants to frame Qin Jie at this time, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Zhang Rangcai was not so stupid, he knew that it was a dung pit and jumped into it desperately.
This time, he used a method that was the most invisible, and even if he could see it, there would be suffering, and that was to kill!
He held Qin Jie high in the court, so that the ministers in the court couldn't say anything about him.
Maybe some people will think that what he did is called a high wind and bright festival.
But how did those officials and lords in the court know that once Emperor Ling's will was conveyed to Qin Jie's army, his subordinates would have a very unfavorable opinion of Qin Jie.
And at that moment, Qin Jie would lose the trust of his subordinates in him, not to mention that such an army would go to war, even if it was garrisoned, there would be a mutiny.
At that time, regardless of whether Qin Jie was killed in the mutiny or not, as long as the news of the mutiny reached the imperial court, Zhang Rang would be able to treat Qin Jie to death in a hundred ways.
As the saying goes, a tree falls and a tree is scattered, but now that He Jin's big tree has not completely fallen, Zhang Rang began to eradicate He Jin's monkeys.
This incident shows that Zhang Rang's eyes are small, his quick start, and his methods are poisonous, and Qin Jie has just figured this out.
But now his situation is as Zhang Rang predicted, there are hardships and grievances, and his soldiers have completely lost trust in him.
Even his personal guards have a lot of opinions about him, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the door of his military tent during this time.
However, Qin Jie had to go out of this gate today, because just when he arrived at Youshi just now, a strange wind suddenly blew and knocked down the flag in front of his tent.
This is by no means a good sign in the ancient army, Qin Jie's heart flashed with a burst of uneasiness, he thought about it again and again but decided to tell Xu Yan and Sun Jian about this matter.
Because it is very likely that this is a warning from heaven to them, telling them that the Yellow Turban Thieves will be acting tonight, reminding them to be vigilant.
Qin Jie mustered up the courage to walk out of the handsome tent, but he couldn't see Sun Jian's face at all.
After he came to Sun Jian's big tent to report his name, at first even Sun Jian's guards did not dump him.
If he hadn't said it for a long time, those guards wouldn't have informed him at all, so it was easy to move the guards to help him spread the word.
But the guard had just walked in before he had half a pillar of incense, when he was thrown out of the big tent, and a rough voice came from the big tent:
"Tell that guy outside that I don't have time to meet his kind of bastard! Let him stay in his tent honestly, and then dare to run around, be careful that Lao Tzu is not welcome! ”
After Qin Jie heard this, he fainted out of breath, he and Sun Jian were officials in the same dynasty, and even now his official position is still above Sun Jian.
But this Sun Jian didn't give him face so much, which made him feel ashamed and angry, and for a moment Qin Jie wanted to use his position to break into Sun Jian's big tent.
But after he calmed down a little, he knew that he definitely couldn't do this, because once he did, he and Sun Jian would definitely be in flames!
As far as the two main generals of an alliance are concerned, once the relationship is stiffened, the alliance between them will inevitably be affected, and at this time Qin Jie is still relatively calm and restrained.
He glanced at Sun Jian's big tent hatefully, then flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned to leave, leaving only the guard who was screaming pain.
Then Qin Jie came to Xu Yan's big tent, Xu Yan had just led people to repel an attack by Zhao Hong, and before he had time to catch his breath when he entered the big tent, he heard his guards report that Qin Jie wanted to see him.
Although Xu Yan also despises Qin Jie's personality very much, as the nominal commander of the coalition army, this mind still has to be shown.
Xu Chang ordered someone to invite Qin Jie in immediately, and stood at the door of his big tent, waiting to welcome Qin Jie's arrival.
Qin Jie also went through a lot of hardships to see Xu Chang, after the two sides saluted each other, the two sat down separately, Xu Yan coughed and then asked:
"I don't know what is the important matter for Qin Taishou to come today?"
"General Xu, you are too polite! You are the commander of the coalition forces, you can just call me Chuqi! I do have one thing to tell you about this year, and I ...... you today."
Qin Jie told Xu Yan about the flag being blown down outside his tent, and Xu Yan broke out in a cold sweat on the spot when she heard it.
He and Sun Jian always believed that the Yellow Turban Thief had a conspiracy, but they were not sure when the Yellow Turban Thief would make a move.
Now through Qin Jie, he can be sure that the time for the Yellow Turban Thief to make a move is tonight!
