Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 232 226. Two-handed plan
Feng Xi solved the root cause of the rebellion in Jiaozhou, but a conspiracy was brewing in the southern part of Yizhou to the west.

Feng Xi originally thought that the current situation was much better than that of Ji Han in the original timeline. Even if Meng Huo was a brainless person, Yong Kai and the others should know the situation in Yizhou, right?
In the original timeline, due to the defeat in Yiling, Yizhou was empty, and Jiaozhou belonged to Eastern Wu, so Yong Kai, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao rebelled in the southern part of Yizhou and colluded with Eastern Wu to the east with almost no obstacles.

Zhuge Liang was not unaware of their rebellion at that time, but because Old Liu in the original timeline had sent away all of Ji Han's soldiers and generals, Zhuge Liang had no soldiers available even if he wanted to. He could only endure for two years, waiting for the new soldiers to be trained and the political turmoil in Shu to subside, before he could spare the time to conquer the Southern Barbarians.

Now that Jiaozhou had just been pacified by himself, he had nearly 100,000 troops stationed in Jingzhou, and there were also 70,000 to 80,000 combat-ready soldiers in Sichuan. Feng Xi subconsciously felt that unless Yong Kai's brain was blocked by a door, he would definitely not do anything to rebel.

However, Feng Xi still thought these ambitious people were too honest. There are always more solutions than problems. For them, as long as they have rebellious intentions, they can always find excuses to convince themselves, such as at this moment.

"Are you from the Meng Huo brothers' clan?"

Yong Kai sat in his magnificent hall sipping a cup of fragrant tea, his eyes casually glancing over the teacup at the burly man below, who was wearing cloth but could not hide his barbaric aura at all.

"A monkey in a crown", this idiom emerged unconsciously in Yong Kai's mind. It was obvious that the barbarians below dressed up specially in order to infiltrate Yizhou County. However, it was probably simply because the southern part of Yizhou had a lot of interactions with the barbarians, so no one thought his appearance was strange.

"Yes, the chief asked me to give you this letter."

This barbarian was careless and his impolite tone made Yong Kai frown. However, considering that he was representing his former "good buddy" Meng Huo, Yong Kai still endured it.

Yong Kai had met many promising young men like Meng Huo in his early years, and he had made friends with them on purpose. If the other person had been unknown all his life, Yong Kai would naturally not pay much attention to him. But if the other person was successful and had status like Meng Huo, then he would be a good friend of Yong Kai.

Yong Kai's selective and wide-ranging friendship model really allowed him to find gold in the sand, and he found several "friends" who are now in high positions.

For example, Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangke, and Gao Ding, the commander of the Yuexi Yi, were both people who had at least met Yong Kai once. Later, with Yong Kai's interpersonal efforts, he was able to have a certain amount of face with these two people, even if he couldn't be too open with them.

At this moment, Meng Huo actually took the initiative to send someone to contact him, which surprised Yong Kai a little. He wondered if Meng Huo had something important that made him remember him.

The rough barbarian took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms and handed it to Yong Kai carelessly. The sheepskin must be fresh, with a strong smell on it. In addition, it had been in the arms of the barbarian for who knows how long, and Yong Kai almost fell over due to the smell.

Yong Kai pinched his nose as he opened the sheepskin scroll and read the contents at a glance. Then, not wanting to read it for even a second longer, he quickly put the sheepskin scroll aside to prevent himself from being attacked by the poison gas again.

Fortunately, the barbarian on the other side was also a rough man, and he didn't care about Yong Kai's behavior, which was a naked disdain for his own king in the Central Plains. In other words, if the barbarians were polite people, they would not have sent such a pungent letter.

"Well, I know what your king means. Let him do it. I will respond in Yizhou County."

Yong Kai waved his hand and quickly told the barbarian opposite, who was even picking his nose, to leave quickly. Just by standing in his own hall, he had already destroyed the original ancient and elegant atmosphere of his house. "Oh."

Seeing that Yong Kai agreed immediately, the barbarian did not stay for long and walked straight out.

"call……"

After Yong Kai and others left, he immediately threw the sheepskin into the sun to dry it to remove the smell, while he began to think about it in the house.

Agreeing to Meng Huo's uprising was just like Meng Huo agreeing to Cao Wei, it was just talk, and it didn't cost any money. However, Yong Kai did have some crooked ideas.

Liu Bei was undoubtedly a heroic figure, who was skilled in employing people and very kind when it came to being benevolent, but he was absolutely ruthless when it came to killing people. Therefore, if Liu Bei was still in Yong Kai, he would definitely not have the courage to rebel.

But who is Liu Chan? What opinions can a teenage boy have?
Of course, Yong Kai would not be so stupid as to know nothing about Ji Han’s current situation.

However, Ji Han now only has three states: Jing, Yi and Jiao. Among them, Jiao is newly established and is too far away. It may have problems protecting itself, let alone supporting the other two states.

Jingzhou was being closely watched by Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, so they would definitely not dare to take any action.

In addition, Yizhou County is located in the southwestern border, and Shuzhong's jurisdiction over this area was not very deep. Now that Liu Bei has just passed away and Sichuan is in turmoil, it is estimated that they will not be able to spare too much energy to take care of themselves in the short term.

In addition, Meng Huo mentioned in the letter that Cao Wei was behind him, and Cao Wei was also inciting rebellion in Jiaozhou to support them, which was consistent with Yong Kai's intelligence.

There have been reports of refugees and caravans coming from the direction of Jiaozhou recently, saying that the Cham people have been causing chaos in Jiaozhou, causing unrest in Jiaozhou. The governor of Jiaozhou also seems to be overwhelmed by this and has no good way to deal with it.

The Ji Han Dynasty was now facing internal and external troubles, which made Yong Kai feel that he had great potential. When the time came, he would unite the forces in the southern part of Yizhou and directly occupy the four counties of Yizhou, Yuexi, Zangke and Yongchang. With Cao Wei and Meng Huo as external aid, he would have no problem occupying the land and becoming the king, let alone counterattacking Chengdu.

Even when he has grown strong enough, it is not impossible for him to go eastwards and cooperate with Dongwu from afar, and then occupy part of Jiaozhou territory. If he does this, wouldn't he immediately transform himself from a noble family in Yizhou County into a hero in troubled times?

The more Yong Kai thought about it, the more he felt that he had great potential. As for the strength of Sichuan? Yong Kai had never fought against any powerful characters in his life, and had no idea about the fighting power of the elite in Sichuan. He felt that everyone had two shoulders and one head, so who could be more powerful than who?
With the help of the Nanman army and the Wuguo Kingdom further south, I can at least resist the Han army for a few years, right? In these few years, Cao Wei can probably reach Chengdu. By then, I will be extremely rich and powerful, and maybe I can even be granted a title of nobility like my ancestor Yong Chi.

Now that the decision had been made, Yong Kai decided to prepare first and see how the wind would blow against Meng Huo's army. If Meng Huo was unstoppable, he would raise his flag to respond. If Meng Huo was weak, he would directly exterminate Meng Huo and clear himself of all charges, at least saving his life and property.
