Chapter 0472: Yuan Shao plotted to enter Jizhou
Cai Yong is almost sixty years old, and now he finally wants to hug his grandson, so he naturally cares very much in his heart. Therefore, he naturally will never allow anyone who wants to destroy the situation in northern Xinjiang.
"The boss is too anxious, and he wants to send 20,000 iron horsemen to threaten Jizhou. Why didn't he want to think about how much shock it would have to the outer border counties and deserts if he urgently requisitioned 20,000 iron cavalry to the south at this time. Li Yi smiled bitterly at Xu Maogong and the others, "Gongsun Zan has arrived in Jizhou, and the 20,000 iron cavalry in northern Xinjiang have also arrived in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao will be finished soon." The old man almost ruined my big thing. ”
"It is understandable that Mr. Bo is worried about the safety of northern Xinjiang." Xu Maogong groaned, "Lord, do you see if we should tell him the overall strategy, lest the old man worry and worry every day." ”
"Nope." Li Yi shook his hand and said, "Recently, the situation has been developing faster and faster, and the changes are becoming more and more complex, and our strategy will change at any time. Telling him only made the old man more anxious. This overall strategy, except for a few of us, only told Gui Ying and Xiao Xuan in Quanzhou to do their best to help the boss deal with state affairs. ”
………………
Just when Li Yi was about to send troops to exterminate the White Bo Army, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro suddenly sent troops to raid the army of Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang and his general Zhang Yang without anyone realizing it. Most of their 20,000 men were lost, and less than 6,000 survived.
Yuan Shao, who was in the Bohai Kingdom, suddenly heard that Wang Kuang's Hanoi army had been attacked, and the 20,000-strong army was almost completely annihilated.
Yuan Shao was the strongest in the alliance led by Yuan Shao last year, and the troops he actually controlled were about 70,000 people, including 50,000 soldiers from the four counties of Bohai, Hejian, Anping, and Zhao, Wang Kuang's Hanoi soldiers and Zhang Yang's Northern Army, and these 70,000 people ensured Yuan Shao's position as the leader of the alliance in the Dong Alliance.
However, after Yuan Shao experienced successive battles with the Xiliang Army and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army last year, the army had been sharply reduced to 50,000 horses. However, this did not hurt Yuan Shao's vitality, and he was still the strongest in the Dong Alliance led by him.
But this sudden defeat caused Yuan Shao to lose one-third of his troops, and his strength was greatly reduced. Now Yuan Shao only has more than 30,000 people left, which is almost the same as Han Fu's troops, and he has lost the ability to completely control Jizhou.
Over the past year, as the great cause of Dong has become more and more difficult and increasingly slim, the Yellow Turban Army has become more and more rampant, and the contradictions between Yuan Shao and Han Fu have become bigger and bigger.
In the past, Yuan Shao had the strength to defeat Han Fu, and had the support of the edict and other states and counties, even if Han Fu was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and had different opinions on the important strategy of the Dong Alliance, he had to obey Yuan Shao's command in the end.
But now it's different. Now Han Fu is one of the three dukes of the Quanzhou court, and he has the same strength as Yuan Shao, of course, he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shao's control, get rid of the alliance against Dong, and turn to command Yuan Shao and other state and county officials as an official.
Things suddenly took a drastic turn of events, a change that disrupted Yuan Shao's established strategy, and he had to immediately correct and make up for it, so as to secure his control over Jizhou and the other prefectures and counties in the Dong Alliance. Without the power of Jizhou and other prefectures and counties, let alone courting Dong and revitalizing the community, even survival has become a very urgent issue.
Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Fu Zhu, Chen Lin and others sat together, carefully analyzed the situation in front of them, and tried to find a solution from it.
Yuan Shao's strength suddenly decreased sharply, and Han Fu was the happiest. Han Fu can take advantage of the prestige of the eldest princess and the Quanzhou court, and the abundant money and grain of Jizhou, and quickly gain the support of various prefectures and counties, so as to suppress and attack Yuan Shao, completely end the mission of the Dong Alliance, and pull all the prefectures and counties into the imperial court.
In the imperial court, Yuan Shao was just a Taishou of Bohai County, who was humble and light, and completely lost the opportunity to control power. Not being able to control the authority means extinction and death for Yuan Shao and Yuan Valve.
If the eldest princess succeeds in courting Dong, Han Fu and many state and county officials will become heroes who save Sheji, and the Son of Heaven will let them go. But the Son of Heaven will not pardon Yuan Shao, and the Son of Heaven will definitely hold Yuan Shao accountable for his crimes. Dong Zhuo just killed more than 50 lives of Yuan Kui and Yuan Valve, and in the future, the Son of Heaven will not only kill dozens of Yuan Valve's lives, he will slaughter the nine clans of Yuan Valve, kill hundreds or even thousands of people, and completely erase Yuan Valve from the world.
Therefore, the top priority now is to quickly overthrow Han Fu, obtain the military power in Jizhou, and replace Han Fu's status as the third duke in the imperial court. Then he gradually seized the authority of the state and took full control of the imperial court.
When Yuan Shao completely controlled the imperial court, the matter of the imperial system would be much simpler to solve. For Yuan Shao and the people of Yuan Valve's lineage, when today's son cannot exist no matter what, the imperial system must be rebuilt, which is a major event related to the life of the family and the rise and fall of the family.
In the past, when Yuan Shao was strong, he had no trouble overthrowing Han Fu. Although Yuan Shao boasted that he was completely sure, he did not dare to make a move, because he could not control the consequences of overthrowing Han Fu. There must be sufficient reasons to overthrow Han Fu, otherwise Yuan Shao will have a bad reputation, will be blamed by Yuan and his family, and will lose the support of various states and counties. All the people have betrayed their relatives and left, what are they talking about reviving the society?
Now Yuan Shao's strength is weak, and he has no advantage compared to Han Fu. The defeat of the Hanoi army, together with the hussar general Li Yi and the later general Yuan Shu, to attack Chang'an can be regarded as a failure.
The county of United States supported Liu Yu as the emperor, deliberately created a crisis of imperial unity, and coerced the eldest princess and the imperial court, and Yuan Shao was the one who charged into battle. Imagine that in this extremely bad situation, no matter by force or by conspiracy, Yuan Shao would not be able to overthrow Han Fu. Even if Han Fu is overthrown, Yuan Shao will become the target of public criticism, and in the end, it will inevitably end miserably in a scolding and siege.
Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and others discussed for a long time and couldn't find a solution, and they were at a loss.
At this time, Fu Zhu said: "We can't find a way to defeat Han Fu because Han Fu has obvious advantages, but if we turn all Han Fu's advantages into disadvantages, and then turn Han Fu's disadvantages into our advantages, then Jizhou can win it without much effort." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Fu Zhu accepted Yuan Shao's conquest and rushed to Nanpi a year later.
When Wang Fen was the assassin of Jizhou, he was the driver of Jizhou Mansion. He and Wang Fen had major differences in their views on scripture and governance, and the two quarreled many times, and the contradictions were very large. In a fit of frustration, he resigned and quit.
When Han Fu was the pastor of Jizhou, he also recruited frustration, but Han Fu was nepotistic, and most of the subordinates in the house were his relatives and friends, and the celebrities in Jizhou were seriously suppressed and excluded. Frustrated, he didn't say a word, patted his ass and left.
He enumerated Han Fu's many advantages. There are a group of officials in Jizhou Mansion and Jizhou counties who are loyal to Han Fu, there are also Han Fu's cronies in the army in Jizhou, the eldest princess and the Quanzhou court need Jizhou's money and food, and after the crisis of the imperial system, Han Fu will definitely be able to govern, and so on.
There is no need to be frustrated, Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji know how to do it.
Yuan Shao immediately sent people to Hejian Kingdom and gave a heavy gift to the rebellious general Gongsun Zhan. At the same time, he wrote letters to Liu Dai, the Mu of Yanzhou, Wang Qiu of Dongjun Taishou and others, and wrote letters to the subordinates of the Jizhou Government in their private capacities, and wrote a large number of letters, the content of which was to discuss the overthrow of Han Fu, so as to drive a wedge between Han Fu and the officials of Jizhou.
Yuan Shao asked Feng Ji to go to Yecheng with his secret letter, ask the local gate valve to help, bribe and bribe the officials of Jizhou Mansion, and ask for a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, so as to make the momentum bigger, so that Han Fu was full of doubts all day long, worried and worried, and couldn't even sleep.
Feng Ji said worriedly: "Will our blatant coercion of Han Fu attract the attention of Northern Xinjiang?" After all, the stability of Jizhou was a top priority for the imperial court and northern Xinjiang. ”
"For the imperial court and northern Xinjiang, the top priority is money and food." Yuan Shao said, "As long as I give them money and food, no one will care about Jizhou." ”
Yuan Shao asked Chen Lin to go north immediately and play the eldest princess. The state and county jointly signed a letter to support Liu Yu as the emperor, which was manipulated by Han Fu behind his back, and the ministers were inferior and light, and they did not dare to disobey. Bohai County is loyal to the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess, and in order to revitalize the great cause of the society, the ministers are willing to pay taxes to the imperial court, and are willing to obey the drive of the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess.
Yuan Shao also had people forge a joint impeachment of Han Fu by officials from various prefectures and counties, saying that Han Fu completely disregarded the safety of the society in order to seize power, and was actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. The court could not accept the coercion of such a traitor, and could not let his lord take power, and should be put to death. The state and county officials unanimously recommended the hussar general to act as the agent of the state and to exercise authority.
"Let the general act as an agent for state affairs?" Chen Lin asked in surprise, "What will happen in the future?" What should I do after the lord takes Jizhou? ”
"There's no way around it." Yuan Shao sighed worriedly, "When I can take Jizhou, I don't know." We have to wait for the right moment. In addition, after the defeat of the Hanoi army, the situation in Gyeonggi took a sharp turn for the worse, and Chang'an is estimated to be difficult to fight, so it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop in the next few months. However, one thing is certain, that is, the Yellow Turban Army is going to fight Jizhou. ”
"Our defeat is great news for the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro. After the beginning of spring, Bai Huan and Yu Poison will definitely lead the army to attack Jizhou. Relying on tens of thousands of us, we can't stop the Yellow Turban Army, and we need assistance from the northern Xinjiang. Without the army of Northern Xinjiang, Jizhou may be in ruins, so now it is necessary to let the general act as the agent of the state and take the authority. ”
"This year is a year of life and death for us, we must give up what we should give up, and we must get back what we should take." Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "In the future, if Northern Xinjiang wants to survive, the general will have to give in." If he does not let me take power, I will make the court a complete ornament, and let it become a burden to the northern frontier, and a crime to be blamed by the hussar generals for harming the society.
