Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 14 Planning the Zhao Family (for further reading)

Early in the morning, Liu Bei brought Zhang Fei and a sloppy scholar over, saying that he had something important to talk about, with a dignified look on his face.

"Okay, let's go to the study room!" Zhang He nodded, it was worth being so serious during this period, and that was probably the only thing.

A group of people came to the study and sat down. During the period, Liu Bei introduced the scribe to Zhang He. As expected, it was Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe!

"News from the government..." The four of them sat down, and Liu Bei ignored the pleasantries and went straight to the topic, "There is a Taiping believer who claims to be Zhang Jiao's disciple Tang Zhou, and reported Zhang Jiao's riots in Luoyang. I heard that His Majesty has issued an order to arrest Zhang Jiao and his disciples."

"It's just that?" Zhang He asked rhetorically, even though he knew this history, he was still a little disappointed with the court's reaction.

Or Tang Zhou didn't inform that the followers of this Taiping sect are spread all over the states, with more than one million people.

Or does the imperial court think that millions of people are ordinary people, and the local bandits Cao and the county soldiers have been able to suppress them?
"Da Dao..." Zhang Fei said, "There are many rangers in Youzhou, all of whom have joined the Taiping Sect."

Taiping teaches talismans to treat diseases, usually free of charge, even if the fee is very low.

It is inevitable that rangers will be injured, and it is convenient to join the Taiping Sect.

"Could it be that they came to seek Xuande's protection?" Zhang He looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei treats people with sincerity and treats every friend kindly, while Zhang He intends to make friends, and the relationship between the two deepens rapidly.

Zhang He didn't forget that Zhang Fei told him that Liu Bei often subsidizes those rangers, but many of these people have something to do with the Taiping Sect.

"Asylum is nothing. Who is a Taiping believer and who is not? In the final analysis, the government has the final say." Liu Bei shook his head.

The government is also afraid of causing trouble, as long as the Taiping believers don't make trouble, they don't bother to care so much.

Otherwise, tens of millions of people will riot, and even if they are suppressed quickly, their resumes will be affected, not to mention that it will be even worse if they cannot be suppressed.

"Through them, Bei learned that the Taiping Sect really intends to rebel, and it has been hoarding weapons since last year." Liu Bei said solemnly, and he had to look at Zhang He.

"Even the poor Taiping Sect will not come to buy my weapons." Zhang He shook his head.

This is not intentional belittling, in fact, Taiping taught and used talismans to treat diseases, and almost did not make much money from others.

Living is still a problem, even if you want to buy weapons, it is impossible to buy more expensive ones like his.

Compared with quality issues, price is obviously more important to Taipingjiao.

"Those weapons were all sold by a personal contact person, and the whereabouts are all recorded." Zhang Fei also said proudly.

"You two misunderstood..." Liu Bei looked at the two of them, "What Bei means is whether we can make a fuss about this matter and clean up the Zhao family."

The Zhao family is an outsider who came to grab resources from other families in Zhuo County. Everyone wanted to get rid of him quickly, but they were also afraid of his background.

Don't look at the eunuchs, everyone hates them, especially the gentry are incompatible with them.

However, with the protection of the emperor, Zhao Zhong was promoted to Dachangqiu, and it is also a fact that the power of the eunuch party is overwhelming.

If you can't press it to death, you may be backlashed by it.But if left unattended, it will also harm everyone's interests.

Zhang He was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to have such a plan.

He couldn't help but glance at Jian Yong, no wonder he was called over, it seemed that he was planning to brainstorm and ensure that he would be killed with one blow.

"Find a few people pretending to be Taiping believers to sneak into Zhao's house and kill them!" Zhang He said casually, "Afterwards, find a few scapegoats and kill them, which can be regarded as an explanation for Zhao's family."

"The Zhao family has 32 people in the nursing home, how can they sneak in?" Liu Bei shook his head.

"Aren't there only a dozen or so before?" Zhang He was a little surprised when he heard the words. The last time he rushed in with Zhang Fei, there were only a dozen or so nursing homes.

"It was the last time you broke in, the Patriarch of the Zhao family felt very insecure, and added more than a dozen nursing homes." Jian Yong said with a smile.

"Even if we rush in now, his thirty guards are not enough for me to kill!" Zhang Fei laughed.

The other three people did not deny this point, Zhang Fei broke in with a knife casually, killing those guards was like chopping melons and vegetables.

"It's just that if there is too much commotion, the government will have to come forward. Bogui said that it would be best if it can be resolved quietly. Even if the other party reports to the officials, he will delay for half an hour before bringing the thief Cao out." Liu Bei replied.

Zhang He suddenly realized that this matter seemed to be ordered by Gongsun Zan.Think about it too, this kind of thing doesn't fit Liu Bei's personality.

But if you want to say that this is wrong, then it is true.

Not to mention requests from classmates and friends, even if it is an ordinary person's request, as long as you agree to it, you will fulfill it without hesitation. This is where 'righteousness' lies, and it is a manifestation of 'faith'.

"Xianhe, what do you think?" Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong.

This is the most flexible mind among the people he trusts.

It's not that Zhang Fei's brain is not good, but that he belongs to the type who can use his fists but doesn't bother to use his brain.

"Isn't the imperial court going to arrest followers of the Taiping Sect?" Jian Yong thought for a while, "Wouldn't it be good if the Zhao family became followers of the Taiping Sect?"

After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle on the low table, poured himself a glass, and behaved very casually.

He is not a scholar from a poor family, has no background, no good teachers, and has not read many books. Normally, he will never be an official in this life.

Jian Yong's idea is very simple, follow Liu Bei well.

When Liu Bei developed in the future, he himself developed accordingly.

"You won't die from beating a snake, but you will be bitten by a snake..." Liu Bei was a little moved, but also had scruples.

To turn the Zhao family into Taiping believers is nothing more than planting and framing.

It's good to be able to kill him immediately, otherwise, after investigation, there will be insufficient evidence, and instead he will face revenge from the eunuch party.

"If that's the case, why don't you find a few people to enter the Zhao family, kill the head of the Zhao family, and then leave blood on it. Just write that the head of the Zhao family reneged on what he said, took money but withheld weapons..." Zhang He thought for a while, and felt that it could be a little more comprehensive.

"What should the imperial court tell us to arrest criminals?" Liu Bei was thoughtful.

"It is enough to leave a letter saying 'the murderer is a disciple of a great virtuous teacher', and to the outside world, it is only said that the prisoner has fled back to Jizhou and is not under our jurisdiction, so he should be arrested by the government at Julu." Zhang He said casually.

These days, not to mention handling cases across regions, cross-county hunting for thieves is not allowed.In the end, the officials of the two places quarreled with each other, and the matter was left alone.

"Yide? Xianhe?" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, and he had begun to feel that this plan was feasible.

"I think so too!" Zhang Fei immediately expressed his opinion. Of course, his brother's plan is supported, especially reasonable.

"Good!" Jian Yong nodded.

Liu Bei also felt that this was a good move. The Zhao family's main business was an iron shop. They usually forged and repaired farm tools, and this weapon would also be forged in small quantities.

The craftsmen who forged weapons were dug from the Zhangjia Iron Shop.

The craftsmanship isn't bad, but it's not as good as Zhang He's. The weapons forged can't be sold at a good price, but on the contrary, they are cheap!

If the Taiping sect wants to rebel, it must hoard weapons.

The Zhao family has an iron shop, so it is normal to have business dealings with the Taiping Sect, and people are not afraid of suspicion.

So the difficulty now is how to ensure that the Zhao family can be killed in one fell swoop.

If he relied on the rangers he was familiar with, it would be easy to leak the secrets. As for Gongsun Zan's servants, it was not safe.

"Mr. Zhang has taken over the matter of killing the Zhao family!" Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Fei immediately took care of it.

The main thing is to know that it will be good for the Zhang family after the matter is completed, and at the same time, it will also make Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan owe him a favor.

"Let me join in the fun too!" Zhang He replied, "In case my brother makes any mistakes and is caught by others!"

"Zhang and you are just joining in the fun, just wait for me at home!" Zhang Fei refused.

"I don't take the initiative to participate, but to check for omissions afterwards." Zhang He replied.

If Zhang Fei's negligence caused the Zhao family to be fully oppressed, the current size of the Zhang family would not be able to bear it.

"Then you can't take the initiative to make a move. There is no guarantee that I will never take you!" Zhang Fei looked at Zhang He, and finally softened his attitude.

The four of them hit it off right away, and discussed the details in depth...

　If they form an army in the future, Zhang Fei and Zhang He will both go out, and the Zhao family must be a hidden danger. After all, there are still five years before 189, and it is possible for the Zhao family to swallow the Zhang family within five years.Out of emotion and reason, it is necessary to kill the Zhao family first and deter other families before going on the expedition.

　　The second is the dispute of morality. For the gentry, eunuchs seriously infringed on their interests.So as long as you are against eunuchs, as long as the means are not so low, that is, you openly break into other people's homes and chop them up, so you are arrested, the gentry will help you spread your reputation, and then find a way to get you out.

　　In other words, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Huangfusong's condition was to release the party members.

　　From another point of view, in order to release of course, the aristocratic family forced the Taiping Sect to rebel in order to coerce the emperor to release him. This logic is also no problem.

　　Mainly a few years earlier, they had done similar things.

　　At the beginning, Emperor Ling abolished the queen of Song Dynasty, a daughter of the family, and made the He family, who was born in a butcher, his queen.At that time, Banchu Man rebelled, and there was no way to quell it for two years.Until Emperor Ling showed his love for the queen and beauty of the family, and then gave birth to Liu Xie.Someone from the aristocratic family immediately went to negotiate terms with Ban Chuman, and the latter also announced that he would surrender again... You are so powerful, what did you do two years ago...

　　It can be seen that in the matter of blackmailing Emperor Ling, the aristocratic family has a criminal record.

　　To sum up, the Yellow Turban Rebellion may be a conspiracy, and even Zhang Jiao himself did not want to rebel.

　　Tang Zhou's identity is suspicious, he may be the son of the Tang family in Yingchuan, who pretended to be Yu Ji to preach in Jiangdong after the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
