I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 204, Yuan Wei's plan
To be honest, if Emperor Ling hadn't thought of replacing the prince, he would not have been able to form an alliance with Yuan Kai and the others.

His relationship with Zhang Rang and others is much better than Yuan Wei's!The relationship is also much stronger than that of scholars like Yuan Kai. At least He Jin knows that Yuan Kai cannot really rely on himself, but Zhang Rang and the others can only rely on themselves. He Jin naturally understands the gap.

It's just that when the two sides formed an alliance, the eunuch was removed as a condition. It's not good for him to turn his face and deny people like this. His reputation as a great general is still important.

So He Jin began to reuse Yuan Ji from the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and his younger brother Yuan Shu, Yuan Ji was promoted to a servant of one of the nine ministers at a young age, Yuan Shao became a lieutenant of the Chinese Army for 2000 shi, and Yuan Shu became a general of Ben Zhonglang Yuan Shu for 2000 shi.

The three heroes of the Yuan family all became ministers of more than 2000 shi at a young age, and even the son-in-law became the Jiuqing. In He Jin's view, he was right for the Yuan family.

At the same time, he widely recommended people who followed him to the imperial court. He Yong, Xun You and Zheng Tai from Henan were all recommended by him to be officials. Zheng Tai was the minister, and He Jin thought that helping the scholars get so many official positions was enough to repay them for their support.

From now on, everyone will be their own people, so don't say anything about getting rid of the eunuchs. From now on, you can work under the general with peace of mind and help the general manage the big man well!
But He Jin thinks highly of himself. Emperor Ling, as the emperor, can't subdue Yuan Kai and the nobles. In their view, He Jin is just an upstart who relies on his sister and wants to lead them. This is simply ridiculous. Daydreaming!

At the same time, Jian Shuo assassinated the soldiers of He Jin, feeling uneasy, and wrote to Zhongchang Shi Yuezhong, Song Dian and others, saying: "Brother He Jin, the great general, controls the government and acts arbitrarily. Dear friends, destroy us only because I am in command of the imperial army, so I hesitate for a while. Now we should work together, close the palace gate, and arrest He Jin as soon as possible."

Guo Sheng and He Jin are from the same prefecture, and he has been of great help to Empress Dowager He and He Jin in being able to have the status of noble pets, so he is close and trusts in the He family.

After discussing with Zhao Zhong and others, Guo Sheng rejected Jian Shuo's proposal. They knew that He Jinzhi wanted to kill only Jian Shuo, and they didn't want to kill them.The more important thing is that Emperor Ling told them to take refuge in He Jin to protect themselves, and betraying Jian Shuo is obviously a good step.

So they sent Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin.

How Jin can bear this!
On April [-]th, He Jin ordered Huang Menling to arrest Jian Shuo, execute him, and replace all the Xiyuan army with his own people!

He Jin removed Jian Shuo, and the only person who could threaten him in the whole big man was Hussar General Dong Zhong. Dong Zhong had eunuchs in the palace as party support, and Queen Mother Dong as his support, especially Queen Mother Dong and Queen Mother He. Difference.

Empress Dowager Dong scolded: "You are so arrogant now, you are relying on your brother He Jin!"

"If I ordered Hussars General Dong Zhong to cut off He Jin's head, it would be a matter of little effort!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother He told He Jin.

In May, He Jin, Yuan Kui and other three officials played together: "Empress Dowager Dong sent Xia Yun, a former servant of the Central Committee, to collude with the state and county officials to search for property and store it in Yongle Palace where she lived. According to the past practice, the vassal The queen of the country cannot stay in the capital, please move her back to the country."

After the discussion between the Sangong and Jiuqing, they unanimously agreed to the memorial, and Empress Dowager He approved the memorial.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, He Jin surrounded General Piaoqi's mansion with his troops, arrested Dong Zhong, removed him from his post, and Dong Zhong committed suicide.

On the seventh day of June, Empress Dowager Dong was worried and afraid, and died suddenly.

From then on, there were no relatives in Luoyang City that could affect He Jin's status, and He Jin monopolized the power of the entire big man.

Except that the eunuchs have reached this step, it is already a successful conclusion for He Jin, but Yuan Wei and the others are not satisfied with this step. Zhang Rang and none of them have been eliminated, and the ten permanent servants are still in the palace. How can this be considered a complete success!
So Yuan Shao and other celebrities kept persuading the general He Jun to kill the eunuchs, blaming He Jin for nothing. They helped He Jin monopolize the power, so you just kill a Jian Shuo to fool us!

He Jin got impatient, so he went into the palace to find his sister, Empress Dowager He, and said that Zhang Rang and others had offended too many people, and everyone in the world wanted to get rid of them quickly, so they killed a few to buy people's hearts!

But Empress Dowager He didn't listen, and instead said: "Eunuchs rule the forbidden provinces. From ancient times to the present, the old rules of the Han family cannot be abolished. What's more, we killed the late emperor's confidantes as soon as the late emperor passed away. How will the people of the world treat us!"

He Jin didn't really want to kill Zhang and let them. After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, He Jin went back and said to Yuan Shao and the others: "It's not that I don't want to kill Zhang and let them, but the Queen Mother doesn't want to kill them, and the palace Eunuch maintenance is also indispensable, now that Zhang Rang and the others have lost their rights, it doesn't matter whether they kill or not!"

Yuan Shao and the others would listen to He Jin's words, and they saw that He Jin didn't want Zhang to let them in at all, so they secretly started a new plan, and He Jin also saw that Yuan Shao and the others couldn't really help him, and began to alienate them!
Yuan Mansion!

The clans of the powerful and noble families of the entire Han Dynasty are gathered here!
They heard Yuan Kai talk about He Jin's actions over the years, especially about the Empress Dowager He!
Cui Lie sneered and said: "Is the general trying to kill the donkey? How dare you use such words to shirk! Without our help, he could have taken control of the Xiyuan Army so quickly. After killing Dong Zhong, he now has all the power. But telling us that we can't kill Zhang Rang and them, this is a joke!"

Yuan Kai laughed and said: "We still have to push He Jin from behind, so that He Jin will fight Zhang Rang and them. As long as the eunuch is solved, He Jin will be surrounded by our people, and the entire Han court will be in our hands. At that time, we can set things right and bring the big man into the prosperous world again in 10 years!"

Ma Rixun worried: "Can we do this? After His Majesty passed away, Zhang Rang and the others were already tigers who had lost their minions, and there was no big threat at all. I think the biggest threat to the big man now is Lei Gong from Bingzhou. Are we We should find a way to help Huangfusong deal with Lei Gong first!"

Zhang Wen said: "This statement is wrong. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. If you don't get rid of Zhang and let them stabilize the inside, isn't the current situation of the big man caused by Zhang? , Zhang Yan and Lei Gong appeared again.

After Lei Gong was wiped out, who knows if there will be a Dian Gong, why these people can't be wiped out repeatedly is because Zhang asked Zhao Zhong to force them to rebel. "

"As soon as the Zhangjiao Rebellion was put down, Zhao Zhong amassed money wantonly, forced away loyal ministers, arranged corrupt officials to become Jizhou officials, and also wanted to corrupt and corrupt by building Wanjintang, and finally forced the people of Jizhou to rebel. Zhao Zhong's cousin Snatching Lei Gong's treasure car by force, forcing Lei Gong to rebel, and this is the biggest rebellion of the big man, all these things are not all caused by the eunuchs!"

"If we don't get rid of the eunuchs now, how can we get rid of the corrupt officials of the local eunuchs, and how can we reform the big men! Only by eliminating the eunuchs and them is the real way to reduce the rebellion of the big men.

The most important thing is that Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang are still in the favor of Queen Mother He, and He Jin intends to win them over. It won't be long before they will return to the arrogance and domineering of the former emperor!So what's the point of what we're doing now! "

Sikong Dinggong said: "Are we trying to force He Jin? Judging from the current situation, He Jin seems to intend to reconcile with Zhang Rang and the others. If He Jin joins the eunuchs like Zhang Rang, our efforts for so many years will be in vain. It's all in vain!"

Yuan Wei thought for a while and said, "I will find a way to let Dong Zhuo lead the army close to Luoyang City!"

Zhang Wen frowned and said, "This is the next best thing to do!"

Yuan Kai said: "That's natural. Dong Zhuo was only used to threaten He Jin. Benchu ​​was working in the General's Mansion. We tried to make Benchu ​​falsely convey He Jin's intentions, so that the relatives of the eunuchs were arrested. We were in the local government. The disciples and old officials in the school must assist Ben Chu to completely eradicate the eunuch party’s influence in the local area. In this way, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the eunuch party and He Jin. Let’s find a way to create tension in Luoyang City. He Jin It’s impossible not to kill the eunuch!”

Cui Lie frowned and said, "But with this method, He Jin will definitely be dissatisfied with us. I'm afraid that when we defeat the eunuch, we will find a way to fight the general!"

Yuan Kui sneered and said: "As long as the eunuchs kill He Jin first, it will be fine. In this way, the power of the general will be in our hands, and the military power of Luoyang City will also be in our hands. It will not be easy to get rid of the eunuchs." thing!"

Several masters nodded at the same time, this is the best result for them, the eunuch party and He Jin died together, and the power of the whole big man is in their hands!

Luoyang City, Shangshutai!
It's funny, the whole city of Luoyang is scrambling for power and profit, very busy, but not many people care about local memorials, the entire Shangshutai is now maintained by Lu Zhi and the others.

Of course, they can only maintain it. Local people who want to ask for help from the imperial court for money and food can't help them at all.

The memorials they sorted out were handed over to General He Jun and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, but they obviously didn't have the energy to watch these memorials at this time, and they usually dealt with them according to Lu Zhi's opinion!

Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun are watching the memorial from Jizhou!

Among them were Yang Biao's introduction of Huangfusong's actions in Jizhou, and the impeachment of Huangfusong by the prefects of several counties in Jizhou for being arrogant and lawless, but Lu Zhi and the others lost it after reading it!

There is also a memorial that Huangfusong wants to support, introducing the current situation of Jizhou, and the situation of Bingzhou that he has detected, the strategy he intends to use to deal with Lei Gong, and at the same time ask the court to help inquire about the information of Bingzhou, especially the situation of food.

At the same time, he needs money, food, soldiers, weapons and equipment, and even officials. The four counties of Zhao State are already empty. He wants the army station obviously because he wants officials to go to maintain the situation of the four counties!

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "Brother Yizhen, this time I'm really going to do my best. I don't even care about my own reputation. I actually want to get 3000 million shi of grain in Jizhou! It's really a protracted war, Lei Gong should have no food to consume!"

Zhu Jun frowned and said: "There is no problem with Yizhen's strategy, but it is a little difficult to tie up Leigong. More than half of Leigong's territory is on the grassland. If he really can't resist Yizhen's attack, he may go directly out of the Great Wall. At that time, it is possible for him to attack Youzhou through the grassland, and even Sili!"

Lu Zhi said helplessly: "Thousands of miles of expedition, it is impossible for Lei Gong to bring many troops. At most, the barbarians in Lei Gong will be on guard!"

There are tens of thousands of fortifications on the border of Dahan. These fortifications have been continuously built for hundreds of years, which is no worse than the fortifications in Bingzhou!
Lu Zhi continued: "It's a blessing to be able to drive Lei Gong out of the big man. If he is really cholera desert, it may not be a good thing for the big man. At least the border can be quiet for a few years!"

Zhu Jun kept flipping through the information about Lei Gong, and suddenly said: "Is it just that Lei Gong really has no food? We all know the situation in Bingzhou. It is impossible to feed 1000 million people there.

But the reality is that Lei Gong really raised so many people for half a year, and he still has the energy to attack the desert for 2000 miles, defeating the entire Xianbei people in the west. It doesn't look like there is a shortage of food! "

Lu Zhi also suddenly realized what he said: "That's right! If we don't know why Lei Gong has so much food, how can we be sure that Lei Gong is short of food? If Lei Gong has more food than Jizhou, the ones who are dragged down may be us!"

Although Lu Zhi also thinks that this is impossible, Bingzhou and Jizhou have more food, this is just a joke!

But Lei Gong really used Bingzhou to feed tens of millions of people. Who would dare to say that Bingzhou's food is not as much as Jizhou, after all, Bingzhou is several times larger than Jizhou from the map!
Lu Zhi thought for a while and said, "What happened in Bingzhou? The court must find out about this!"

Lu Zhi suddenly annoyed: "Xuande and Lei Gong have been neighbors for many years, if he comes to Luoyang City, maybe he can give us first-hand information about Lei Gong, now I can only write a letter to ask him about Lei Gong intelligence!"

Zhu Jun said helplessly: "With the current state of the imperial court, there is really not much we can do to help Yizhen. We should find a way to help him get a group of officials to help him go to reclamation. I am the only thing we can do!"

Lu Zhi said: "Go to Jizhou to be an official, I think many people are willing to go!"

Zhu Jun smiled wryly and said: "This is the old calendar. In the past few years, there have been many wars in Jizhou, and the officials have suffered heavy casualties. Jizhou has become a dangerous place, not to mention that no one in Luoyang City can see that the imperial court is about to fight against Lei Gong. It's time for no one to go to places like Wei County."

Lu Zhi said: "Why don't we find some prefectural students to go there, and recruit some county magistrates with outstanding local abilities in Jizhou to become prefects!"

Zhu Jun smiled wryly and said, "Brother Yizhen must want some excellent officials now, not a group of Tai students to do things!"

Lu Zhi said helplessly: "Where does the big man go to find excellent officials now?"

Zhu Jun suddenly said: "I think of some officials, they are not outstanding, but they are old officials, and they are familiar with the situation in Jizhou, and they have a deep hatred with Lei Gong!"

Lu Zhi immediately realized that what Zhu Jun was talking about was the Jizhou officials who were taken to Luoyang City by Liu Bei to be detained, but too many things happened in Luoyang City during this period, and no one cared about them at all!
Lu Zhi said, "Isn't that appropriate?"

Zhu Jun said: "Don't use meritorious deeds, find out a few who have committed bad crimes and kill them, and leave the rest to Brother Yizhen to deal with them!"

These people would not have all been killed. After all, they were from the noble family, and at most they could kill a few people and give the world an account.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhi thought it would work. It was better to arrange a group of officials who were familiar with the situation than to send a group of nerdy students there!

In May of the first year of Guangxi of the Han Dynasty (AD 189), on Taihang Mountain!

Zhang Baiqi found Yang Feng and others, and personally explained Dong Zhuo's ceramic armor to them!

But Yang Feng and the others didn't accept it at all!

Especially Wang Dang even pulled out his sword and said: "Porcelain armor is what you said is true, but why Dong Zhuo appeared in Wei County, aren't you in Taiyuan County! Why did Dong Zhuo take away 3 yuan from your face? Cavalry, why didn't you inform us that Dong Zhuo's army has gone to Wei County!"

Zhang Baiqi said helplessly: "Dong Zhuo entered Wei County through Hukou Pass, I didn't notice it at all in Taiyuan County!"

Hukouguan is below Shangdang County, while Taiyuan County is above Shangdang County. These two places are not only thousands of miles apart, but there are also hundreds of miles. How could he notice Dong Zhuo's changes? When Zhang Yan died in battle, he Only then did I know that Dong Zhuo had transferred 3 troops away.

One thing Zhang Baiqi didn't say, he didn't know that Zhang Yan would lose so quickly, even if he fought for more than ten days, he would lead the army to support Zhang Yan.But Zhang Yan was defeated as soon as Dong Zhuo appeared. When Zhang Baiqi got the news, Dong Zhuo had returned to Shangdang County.

What if your name is Zhang Baiqi?
But this explanation did not satisfy Yang Feng and the others.

Sun Qing said: "For the sake of us being the Yellow Turban Army, we won't kill you, so go away and don't come to Taihang Mountain!"

Zhang Baiqi looked at them helplessly and said: "You should also be careful, it is said that Huangfusong came to Jizhou, he is not so easy to deal with!"

Wang Dang said angrily: "Don't be hypocritical, I feel sick when I see you, get out of here quickly!"

Zhang Baiqi saw Wang Dang and they couldn't communicate and had to leave!
But just when he was about to leave in embarrassment, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the camp!

A personal guard ran in and said in panic, "Shuai Qu, the Han army is here!"

Yang Feng and the others rushed out of the camp immediately, and they saw that the treasures of the Han army were surrounded. Here, these Han soldiers attacked them continuously with crossbows, arrows and long knives. Many soldiers were shot by them before they could react. die!

Wang Dang shouted: "Everyone, follow me and kill!"

After speaking, he was the first to rush to the Han army. Seeing that Wang Dang was so brave, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army also followed, and soon fought with the Han army!
At this time, Zhang Baiqi said: "The 500 personal guards in my hands are all elites of the Rattan Armor Army, I will help you!"

Yang Feng looked around at the Han army shouting to kill, and found that he couldn't detect how many Han troops were attacking them. All he could see was that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were being beaten and retreated. Obviously this was the elite troops of the Han army. After thinking about Yang Feng's return of this new force to stay here!

Zhang Baiqi knew that this was the best chance to reconcile with Yang Feng and the others, so he led the army to the front line to fight the Han army!
The general of this big Han army is Ju Yi. It took him half a month to finally find the main camp of the Yellow Turban Army on Taihang Mountain, and then rushed to this camp with 5000 Jizhou counties!

Ju Yiren was tall and burly, with a sword in one hand and a wooden shield in the other, he blocked from left to right and attacked from the right. With a few knives, he broke through the formation of the Yellow Turban Army and led his soldiers into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Then he continued to lead his subordinates to burn the tents in the camp with the torches. Fodder is only flammable and easy to burn. Soon the whole camp began to be full of flames and smoke billowing!

Wang Dang was furious when he found out what Ju Yi and the others had done: "What kind of skill is it to set fire, the Han will have the ability to fight Lao Tzu!"

Ju Yi looked at Wang Dang and said with a sneer, "Overestimating one's abilities!"

Wang Dang rushed to Ju Yi in a rage, then jumped up, and slashed at Ju Yi with all his strength!

But Ju Yi blocked the blow with his shield, and then slashed at Wang Dang!

Wang Dang immediately resisted with his sword.

"Dang!" Ju Yi's strength was too great, even if Wang Dang resisted the knife, he was still shocked and kept retreating!

Then Ju Yi slashed like this, and Wang Dang had to take two or three steps back every time he slashed. After Ju Yilian slashed seven times, Wang Dang even flew the long knife in his hand!
Seeing that he was about to die in Ju Yi's hands, a burst of crossbow arrows shot at him, and Ju Yi reacted quickly to block the crossbow arrows with a wooden shield.

Then he watched a group of armored soldiers protect Wang Dang.

This is obviously not the Yellow Turban Army, Ju Yi doubted: "Are you Lei Gong's subordinates?"

Zhang Baiqi said: "That's right, we are Lei Gong's subordinates, General Han, if you don't want to die here, retreat quickly!"

Ju Yi laughed and said, "I've wanted to see the strength of the Tengjia Army for a long time. I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you here this time!"

Then he yelled: "End the formation!"

The surrounding Han army heard Ju Yi's order and kept gathering around him, and soon hundreds of people gathered to form a square formation!
Zhang Baiqi said with a cold face: "Since you want to die, I will help you!"

Zhang Baiqi shouted at the head of the village beside him: "Destroy this group of Han troops!"

The head of the village commanded: "Let's go together!"

Hundreds of soldiers approached Ju Yi's army in neat steps!
Ju Yi excitedly said: "Something! Come closer, don't let the enemy break the formation!"

The Han army shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers kept approaching, and Ju Yi's formation became tighter and tighter!
When the two sides got closer and closer like this, Ju Yi shouted: "Kill!"

Then he was the first to rush out, and the soldiers around him also followed him and hit the formation of the Rattan Armored Army with their wooden shields!

"Boom!" The two sides rushed together, and Ju Yi relied on his own powerful strength to directly charge away the three warriors of the Tengjia Army, and then kept waving his long knife to break through the formation of the Tengjia Army!

However, after the soldiers of the Tengjia Army discovered that the formation was in danger of being broken, they all blocked the front of Ju Yi. Everyone cooperated with each other, some stabbed Ju Yi with knives, some hit Ju Yi with their bodies, and there were even soldiers behind them. The crossbow pointed at Ju Yi. After killing 5 rattan armor soldiers, Ju Yi was shot in the arm by the crossbow and had to retreat!
