A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 371: The general’s decision comes to a conclusion, he is in darkness and his heart is bright

Just when all the suggestions put forward by everyone were rejected by He Jin and he was thinking hard to no avail, Yuan Shu gave He Jin an idea:
"The general, Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Bingzhou, is an old official of our Yuan Mansion. He is currently stationed in Hedong County with his troops and horses, on his way to Bingzhou to take office.

It would be better for me to send him a secret letter, and then the general personally send an edict, asking him to lead troops from Hedong to Henan County, so that the Queen Mother would feel threatened, and then the Queen Mother would not dare to disagree with the general's suggestion. "

He Jin's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. When the time came, he would just tell the Queen Mother He that it was not that he had to kill the eunuchs, but that the eunuchs were so hated that even he could not control his officials.

If they continue to disagree with their demands, I'm afraid they will unite and intimidate the court. As an important minister of the court, He may be beaten as a eunuch and accomplices and executed together.

"Wonderful, very wonderful. General Zhonglang's plan is very good, but he can't just order Dong Zhuo to go all the way. Instead, he must summon many powerful generals and a large number of heroes from all over the world, so that they can all lead their troops to the capital, so as to create a general trend and intimidate the Queen Mother."

Just when Yuan Shu was enjoying He Jin's praise, Cao Cao on the side laughed at this strategy of confusing the capital:
"It is appropriate to have eunuchs and eunuchs in ancient and modern times. But the ruler of the world did not do it right, and the fake eunuchs favored them with power, which brought the situation to this point. Since the crimes of eunuchs should be punished, the original evil should be punished. One jailer is enough, so why call in foreign generals one after another?

Under the guise of relying on foreign ministers and generals, the general's killing of eunuchs will inevitably be leaked. I think this thing is going to fail. "

"Cao Mengde, what is the purpose of your words? Since you don't think about making suggestions for the general, how can you make sarcastic remarks here? I think you just don't change your mind and want to rely on your family background as a eunuch to get back on the throne again. Eunuch.

General, I would like to propose that Cao Cao be expelled from the general's residence to prevent our discussions from being leaked to the eunuchs by Cao Cao. "

Since Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao separated from Shixian Tower, the three of them have rarely had any contact, especially Yuan Shu, because his family background is from the imperial party, which is different from that of Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoqing, so there are many dissatisfactions between the three of them.

And Cao Cao is different from Yuan Shao. Cao Cao has a close relationship with the Henan aristocratic family. Yuan Shao is a new star generation promoted by the Hebei aristocratic family, and he is inseparable from Cao Cao in appearance.

"Yuan Gongli, don't talk nonsense here. Is your strategy good for the general or the people behind you? Do you dare to say it here?

Aren't you seeing that the big man is now in a state of decline, trying to muddy the lake and fish in troubled waters? Don't think that everyone in the world is blind and you are the smartest! "

"Cao A'hao, don't slander anyone here. I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family in Runan, am the backbone of the Han Dynasty. I am the humerus of the Han Dynasty. My loyalty to the Han Dynasty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and from the lake and the sea."

At this time, Yuan Shao also interjected and added jealousy: "Haha, who doesn't know that the words of your Henan family are the most untrustworthy. You do one thing to your face and another behind your back. You even let Huangfu Song massacre civilian prisoners of war. It is a shame for the family."

"Yuan Benchu, stop pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here. If it weren't for the Bai family to support you, what would your Hebei be? Except for the rich people in Tianguang in Jizhou, you and the other two states are both bitter and cold places. How can you compare with our Henan province? Wealthy.

Furthermore, Henan has always been a land of the Central Plains. How can it be compared to you, the bitter and cold people in border counties? "

As Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao were transferred from the eunuchs to the aristocratic families, the hall suddenly became chaotic. The three parties represented the three largest aristocratic factions in the world. Usually, due to the suppression of the eunuchs, some conflicts of interest were ignored, and there was a tacit understanding. mutual cooperation.

Now they all broke out together, blaming the other two aristocratic family factions for their problems. He Jin and Bai Dian were the only ones on the field watching their quarrel quietly without any consequences.

Among them, the Henan Qing family represented by Cao Cao has the least influence and most hopes to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, because only with the suppression of the Han Dynasty can the other two factions be prevented from being annexed.

The imperial family represented by Yuan Shu, due to the relationship between the fourth generation and the three princes, as well as the current political chaos, the Han Dynasty collapsed, which gave the Yuan family in Runan the idea of ​​​​taking his place.

Although the Henan Qing Dynasty family represented by Yuan Shao was suppressed by the Bai family, the Bai family could not suppress them all the time. Now some restless Hebei families also want to compete for their position in this troubled world, so they are attacking Yuan Shu. The behavior of disrupting the court has a default attitude, which is beyond Bai's control.

As for why Bai Dian didn't stop it, we have to talk about the latest instructions from the master's family. Not long after Liu Hong's death, people from Dabei Temple came to them and assigned them the latest mission of the master's family, to commit suicide.

The master plans to completely cut off the relationship between the Bai family of Luoyang and the Bai family of Taihang in this troubled time.

The master's family instructed that the Bai family of Luoyang should be mentally prepared, that is, in addition to not annexing land with other aristocratic families, the rest of the behavior should be completely integrated into other aristocratic families, and everything should be done according to the standards of the aristocratic family. A nail.

In order to confuse other aristocratic families, the main family allowed the Luoyang Bai family to appropriately annex some of Henan Yin's land, but it should not be too much and should be maintained at the strength of a county-level power, so that it would not be completely assimilated by other aristocratic families.

Except for Dabei Temple, the main family will cut off all ties with the Luoyang Bai family. Any resources and help will be handed over to them through a third party.

They will become like the Hei family, living in darkness and desiring the light. They will become the secret hands of the master family that affects the world and stirs up the world. "Quiet! This is my general's palace, not the meeting hall of your family. They are all court officials with a rank of more than a thousand stones. How can they be so noisy?"

Just when Bai Dian was lost in memories, He Jin's dissatisfied words interrupted his thoughts and the quarrels in the hall.

"Are there any different opinions on how to kill eunuchs?" Maintaining the discipline of the meeting, He Jin brought the topic back again.

"General, my subordinates also disagree with the proposal of General Tiger Ben." Chen Lin, the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, came out and elaborated:

"There is a saying in "Yi": 'If the deer is let go, it cannot be caught.' It is also said: 'Catch the sparrow with blindfolded eyes.' This shows that you cannot deceive small things with success, let alone important national affairs. Obtained through fraud.

Now the general has the imperial power, controls the military power, the dragon and the tiger step, whether it is high or low, it is all in your heart. This is like burning the hair on a stove. What is there to be embarrassed about?

It conforms to the Tao, goes against the scriptures, and is obeyed by heaven and man. Instead, abandon the weapon and look for foreign aid. When the soldiers are gathered together, the stronger one becomes the hero. This is what is called fighting against others. If you give someone else the leverage, the success will never be achieved. The useless thing will become a step for chaos and evil. This is a chaotic plan and will ultimately be detrimental to the general. "

He Jin looked at Bai Dian again and asked, "What do Colonel Sili think?"

Bai Dian shook his head and said: "As Chief Chen said, this is a random plan, and it is not a good plan for the country, the people, or the general.

What's more, I heard that Dong Zhuo has been at the border all year round, and it is inevitable that he has some foreign aura mixed with him. It remains to be determined whether he can abide by some conventional rules.

Furthermore, before the death of the late emperor, he was always worried that Dong Zhuo would act recklessly with the military power in his hands, so he tried every means to transfer him to Bingzhou and relieve him of his military power.

But how did he do it? Not only did he bargain with the court, but even in the end, he also brought five thousand soldiers and horses with him. As soon as he heard that the late emperor had passed away, he stopped in the east of the river and stopped moving forward.

It can be seen that this person is not only arrogant, but also has a rebellious attitude. To send someone like him to the capital is no less than attracting a wolf into the house, and it is also a bad wolf. "

"What the captain said is wrong. Dong Zhuo is a good side general, but which one of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun is not a side general? Isn't it obvious that they are loyal to the Han Dynasty?

Besides, Dong Zhuo was imprisoned because of his failure in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and was about to lose his head and body. If my father hadn't rescued him, he would be the Dong Zhuo who is now the Bingzhou Mu. Based on this alone, Dong Zhuo had to consider my Yuan family's opinions.

Secondly, Dong Zhuo repeatedly disobeyed the court's orders and refused the late emperor's edicts because he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now he only has 5,000 men in Hedong. Even if he is a wolf, he is still a hungry wolf without claws and teeth. Wolf.

What's more, we are not just calling him alone, but all the heroes from all over the world. Among this group of heroes, Dong Zhuo can't be on the stage. With the control of others, what are you worried about?

Furthermore, we just ordered them to go outside Luoyang City. With the defense of the high city wall and the protection of the Xiyuan Army, are we still afraid of his five thousand people? "

"Huh, I'm afraid the result will not be as good as you expected." Cao Cao on the side said still angrily.

Yuan Shu ignored Cao Cao's sarcasm this time, but looked at He Jin and said: "I know very well that the general does not want to hurt the family relationship with the Queen Mother, so I came up with this strategy to get the best of both worlds.

In addition, now that the general has military power, it is the best time to eliminate traitors. As for whether to adopt them or not, it all depends on the general's whim. "

He Jin struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said in front of everyone: "This general has decided to adopt Yuan Shu's suggestion, and I ask you all to help us in order to work together for a great cause."

Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Bai Dian and others who saw the danger of this strategy could only sigh deeply in their hearts and came out to express their support for He Jin's decision.

Because no matter what, eunuchs must be eliminated, and they must be eliminated at any time, otherwise it will not work! Think about it, you are riding in a carriage with your wife and children, drinking wine and reciting poems, and suddenly you are arrested by the eunuch! Therefore, the days without eunuchs are good days.

After concluding the discussion, He Jin passed the chancellery and issued an edict to the heroes from all directions, ordering former general Dong Zhuo to station in Shanglinyuan in Guanzhong; Wang Kuang, the commander of the general's office, returned to his hometown of Taishan County in Yanzhou to recruit strong crossbowmen to the western suburbs of Luoyang;

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, led the county troops to garrison Chenggao; Dingyuan, the commander of Wumeng, burned the shogunate offices and private houses in Mengjin, Pingyin and Hejin.
