Chapter 0268: Trickery

He Jin nodded again and again, with a look of appreciation, and he asked, "What specific methods does the master have?" At this time, it came out of the palace that if we want to convince the heads of those gate lords and the bureaucrats in the DPRK and China, it is not easy for us to completely get rid of suspicion and stay out of the matter. ”

Wang Yun smiled and said, "The general thinks it's complicated. Sikong Xu Xiang can solve all this. The general should know that the third prince of the Xu family in Runan Pingyu was famous in my Han Dynasty, and their family was famous for studying the Book of Changes. Xu Xiang is the third 'third duke' of their family, but many of the children of their Xu family are reluctant to associate with him, especially the well-known Xu Shao Xu Zijiang, Xu Xiang invited him several times but he refused. When I was serving as the assassin in Yuzhou, I met Xu Shao several times and heard him explain the reason. ”

Zhao Qi smiled: "It's all old things, don't mention it." ”

Zheng Tai asked curiously, "What is the reason?" Senior Brother Zi, please tell me, let us juniors also listen to it? ”

He Jin also wanted to know why Xu Xiang could help him solve this thorny problem, so he waved his hand with great interest and urged, "Zishi, tell me quickly." ”

Wang Yun said: "Xu Yuan was recruited into Beijing in the previous year, and it was recommended by Cao Teng, a regular servant of the Middle School, to the Son of Heaven. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Qi immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand the Zhongguan Cao Tengcao, he has a very good reputation among the Zhongguan. He served four emperors in his life, and he was loyal and made no mistakes. When he was in Changqiu, he recommended many famous people in the world to the Son of Heaven, such as Yu Fang and Bian Shao of Chen Liu, Yangu and Zhang Wen of Nanyang, Zhang Huan of Hongnong and others. These people later became the mainstays of my Han Dynasty. In the past, when Situ Chonghui was the assassin of Yizhou, he once impeached Cao Teng, but Cao Teng did not hold grudges, and often praised Chong Hui as a good official. Strongly recommend it to the emperor. Later, Chong Wei said that he was able to become one of the three princes, Situ, all because of Cao Teng's care. ”

Xu Xiang was criticized by the children of his own clan, mainly because he saw that the power of the Zhongguan was getting bigger and bigger, so he had a close relationship with the traitors Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others, and called him a brother and a brother. People like him belong to the grass on the wall, he likes to fall on both sides, no one can be offended, and he believes what he says, whether it is a traitor or a gatekeeper. ”

"That said. Do you want to trouble Bo Qiu to go to Sikong Mansion? He Jin asked.

"Yes. Boqiu used to be a historian in Sikong Mansion, and he was very familiar with Xu Sikong, so this errand was naturally his. Wang Yun said with a smile.

He Hao arched his hand and said to He Jin: "This is a trivial matter, I can go to Sikong Mansion to meet Xu Sikong at any time." He said with a serious expression, "General, have you thought about it, and now you propose the matter of canonizing the crown prince, Your Majesty will definitely not agree, and it will backfire." This will not only alarm His Majesty. Draw Your Majesty's attention to the opposition, and it will also arouse Your Majesty's jealousy of you. What if Your Majesty senses your threat and does everything in his power to deal with you? General, you have to be cautious. With His Majesty's cleverness, he should have seen it. You are the one behind this. ”

"Although the general holds the power of the army and directly controls the northern army, the deterrent power of the general obviously cannot be compared with the power of the edict of the Son of Heaven. When the comrades who assassinated Li Yi were arrested last autumn, Guangluxun Liu Yu rushed to the camp of the Northern Army with a military talisman and an edict. Easily took control of the Northern Army. The Southern Army is now under the command of Captain Liu Ting, and to put it bluntly, His Majesty has the final say. As for the Yulin Army, the Tiger Army. Zhonghuangmen has nothing to do with the general at all. If the Son of Heaven is going to deal with you now, General, how will you deal with yourself? ”

He Jin groaned for a moment and said, "When Your Majesty arrested those people last autumn, the Northern Army had just returned from Xiliang, and the captains of the various departments and the ruling Jin Wuzhen were caught off guard, so ...... I'm afraid it's not that easy these days, is it? ”

He Hao said loudly in surprise: "If the general thinks so, he is not far from death." ”

He Jin's face suddenly sank.

He Hao said loudly: "Has the general forgotten how the great general Dou Wu failed eighteen years ago? At that time, Zhang Huan, the general of the chariot cavalry, and Wang Fu, the regular servant of the Zhongchang Chamberlain, held the edict of the Son of Heaven and stopped the Northern Army in front of Shuangque outside the North Palace, Wang Fu said to the soldiers of the Northern Army, Dou Wu rebelled, you forbidden soldiers should stay in the palace province, why rebel with him? There is a reward for those who surrender. ”

"The sergeants of the North Battalion, except for the cavalry under the jurisdiction of Captain Changshui, who were recruited from the Wuhuan and Xiongnu two foreign tribes, the rest were mostly the children of Luoyang City and Sili, and they were particularly sensitive to the struggle for power in the court, and they liked to have fun with hakama, and their ability to weigh the benefits and disadvantages was greater than the ability to distinguish right from wrong, especially their own lives. In the Xiaohuan Emperor's Dynasty, many of them had followed the Zhongchang Servants to hunt down the invincible general Liang Ji and his clan disciples, so they knew the power of the Zhongguan. ”

At that time, on the one hand, they saw that Zhongguan Wang Fu had the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and on the other hand, they saw Zhang Huan, the general of the Mighty Border Pass, and his wolf-like guards standing on the opposite side, ready to pounce at any time, and immediately surrendered one after another. By noon, Dou Wu and his pro-party could not deter the fifth battalion of the Northern Army at all, and the soldiers in the camp had run away. The general had no choice but to escape, and later was surrounded by pursuing soldiers in Duting, where he committed suicide. ”

"Now if something happens, if the general wants to use this northern army to deal with the change, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of Dou Wu. The general should have a loyal army, once the incident happens, he can immediately enter the North Palace, punish the eunuchs, clear the king's side, and achieve it overnight, which is the foundation of invincibility. ”

He Jin pondered.

Kong Rong said: "Brother Boqiu, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty only has two armies stationed in Gyeonggi, one is the Southern Army and the other is the Northern Army, the Southern Army guards the Imperial Palace, and the Northern Army garrisons Luoyang or conquers the world, and there is no third army, so there is no possibility of your method being realized." In my opinion, it is better to let the general use the excuse that the Northern Army has suffered huge losses in Xiliang, and suggest to His Majesty that he send people to the neighboring states to recruit troops to expand the Northern Army, and arrange more cronies for the best policy. ”

Wang Yun said: "Far water can't save the thirst, just in case, the general still tried to move Liu Yu, the Guangluxun who was in charge of the palace guards, and Liu Ting, the guard captain who commanded the southern army, to a position, and replaced them with our own people. ”

He Jin nodded again and again, and praised: "Boqiu, Wenju, and Gongda's suggestions are all very good. Birg, your method of building another army also makes sense. I think so, how about you wait and discuss the details carefully when you go back? ”

Several people hurriedly agreed.

He Jin continued: "Since last year's victory in Liaodong, His Majesty has openly protected Li Yi, and now that Li Yi has made great contributions again, His Majesty's partiality will inevitably be even worse, so what can I do?" ”

Zheng Tai immediately said: "General, please rest assured, all traces of us and the Xianbei people will be wiped clean soon." It's a pity that we have such a good plan. ”

Kuai Yue said: "If the battle situation in Youzhou is according to our design, now the Youzhou army is in defeat or retreating to Jixian County. Coupled with what new policy he implemented in Youzhou, shaking the foundation of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Li Yi's own life has been guaranteed, if Li Yi is solved this month, the general or the general's younger brother Henan Yin He can lead his troops north to Youzhou, and the battle will be decided, and he will make great achievements, but unfortunately, the success will fall short. ”

He Jin said: "The strategy of several people is indeed good, but it is a pity that we lack luck. Li Yi is immortal, he has a heavy army, and he is a threat to us after all. If Li Yi dies and the Son of Heaven loses his reliance, he may just think about this matter of abolishing his heirs. You say, how to deal with it? ”

Kuai Yue replied: "That day, the court governor Jinwu Zhenju was right, it is better to recruit him back to Luoyang and slowly look for an opportunity to kill him." Back then, it was heroes such as Huangfu Gui and Duan Cheng, but they were also framed by the traitors and arrested in Beisi Prison. As long as he leaves Youzhou, leaves his army, and walks into Luoyang City, it will be difficult for him to get out of Luoyang City alive. ”

Zheng Tai said: "In this Youzhou War, the reason why Li Yi was able to win was not because he could fight, but because he took shit luck and discovered the sneak attack of the Xianbei people. He is a murderous maniac, he actually killed so many unarmed Xianbei people on the battlefield, and his hands were covered with blood, and it was intolerable not to die. This kind of murderous barbarian immortality will sooner or later be the source of the chaos in my Han court. ”

He Jin nodded and said, "Okay, you will write this piece by the public industry." As a general, it is still possible for me to promote a general from a border county to an official in Beijing, and Your Majesty may be very happy in my heart. ”

He then pointed at He Hao and said, "Xu Sikong is there, Bo beg to go immediately." ”

………………

After He Miao sent several staff members of the General's Mansion to make a study, he immediately asked: "Big brother, we can have today's glory and wealth, and the officials in the court have helped a lot. Without them, my sister would not have entered the palace, nor would she have sat on the queen's seat, my brother would not have been a general, and I would not have been a Henan Yin. But today we are here to discuss how to kill them, and if they knew about it, we would ......."

He Jin interrupted him and sneered: "These scholars and eunuchs don't like to have a general like me at all, they are very wary of me. Do you see that Zhang Rang still regards me as his in-laws? ”

"The Han Dynasty is still the world of the scholars, but the traitorous eunuchs cannot be killed. In the end, any Son of Heaven will rely on the bureaucrats of the world to rule the world, not the flattering eunuchs. But the power of the scholars is too strong, once the foreign court is in power, the emperor will be hollowed out, the emperor does not take care of the government, naturally has to be with the eunuchs, for a long time, if the emperor wants to regain power, he can only rely on the power of the eunuchs, so the scholars and the traitors have been fighting for power and profit.
