The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88 He Jin and Death
"Wen Yuan, but what's the point of being blunt? Why is it so? Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Wei Tao knew Zhang Liao's temperament, but seeing that Fucheng was fine, he naturally didn't want Zhang Liao to continue like this, while helping him, he was preparing to remove the thorns from his body.

"My lord, there was a riot by Yellow Turban bandits the night before. Ten counties in Changshan were affected, and seven of them were taken down by county magistrates. Both the county magistrates and officials of Liucao size were all captured by the Yellow Turbans."

Zhang Liao didn't get up but reported to Wei Tao.

"Although he was not killed, he was bound by various crimes, which caused the people to boil. Several noble families were also robbed, and a lot of property and food were taken away. At that time, a group of yellow scarf soldiers trapped the city, and even the news It doesn't make sense, by the time I know it, all the yellow scarves have already left..."

Even Wei Tao couldn't help but take a deep breath at this time, Wei Tao didn't know about those officials, but since he was guilty, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and those who were supposed to hate the Yellow Turban would probably all point the finger at the government
Wei Tao had seen Zhang Ning's strength a long time ago, but he didn't expect her to do this.

But Wei Tao also knew that Zhang Liao couldn't be blamed for this matter. Zhang Liao only had a few hundred soldiers in his hands, and most of them had never been trained in the military, and they were recruited by Zhao Feng.

It's okay for these people to guard the city, but if they are really asked to send troops, I'm afraid they are giving snacks to Huang Jin instead.

"Although the walls of the counties are not as tall as the city of Changshan Prefecture, they are still guarded by soldiers and supported by the city. How could several counties be destroyed overnight by the Yellow Turbans?"

Only then did Wei Tao understand why Zhang Liao was pleading guilty.

"Moreover, they couldn't even last a night. Could it be that these officials really communicated with the Yellow Turban?"

"I'm afraid that's true. The Yellow Turbans attacked ten counties together, and the other three counties were only injured by soldiers. Moreover, according to what he said, the Yellow Turbans were just a wave of siege. When they saw someone resisting, they retreated. But the seven counties were killed by the Yellow Turbans." Loot everything in the city."

"All robbing? Including the rosters of each government?"

"Yes, apart from the evidence proving the corruption of those officials, all the other account books of the governments were burned, and there is nowhere to track them down."

Hearing what Zhang Liao said, Wei Tao was startled again. Without the roster records, it would be easy for the Yellow Turban to mix in with the common people.

When the time comes to re-register and compile the book, these yellow scarves are serious Han people.

Zhang Ning's calculation is really powerful!
Thinking of Zhang Ning's series of calculations, especially when he announced his crimes against officials to win the hearts of the people, Wei Tao couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that Zhang Ning also came from time travel and even knew how to beat local tyrants? Divide the fields?

Of course, this is just self-deprecating in Wei Tao's heart.

But I have to say that this blow to Wei Tao is also quite a big blow. There are yellow scarf bandits in the territory, even if Wei Tao is just here for the first time, it is not justified.

"Wen Yuan, let's get up first. How are those officials doing now?"

Seeing that Wei Tao really didn't mean to blame, Zhang Liao finally got up, but the self-blame in his heart increased a bit.

"My lord, those officials have been imprisoned now, and the evidence of the crimes is all true. Now that this matter has been spread widely, I am afraid that the people of Jizhou have heard about it. If they are not punished, there may be a civil uprising."

Zhang Liao has great strategies, so at this time, he will not pity those corrupt officials and want them to protect each other.

But Zhang Liao understood that if all these officials were beheaded at once, it would be difficult to deal with the vacant official positions.

Those small officials are fine, but if they want to be officials, even if the prefect himself has the right to appoint and dismiss officials, it is impossible to appoint others as officials at will.

As for the imperial court, Wei Tao is only a newcomer after all, and the Yellow Turban incident has not yet involved him.

Of course, according to He Jin's original plan, once such a thing happened, it would confirm Wei Tao's appointment as prefect in March, and he could use this to demote Wei Tao and replace him with his confidant.

It's just that at this time He Jin didn't have the intention to replace Wei Tao even after receiving Wei Tao's news.

He Jin was also in trouble.

Originally, of course, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was on the side of the emperor, and He Jin was planning to kill Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, but Zhang Rang's success was begged by the then Empress He, and now the Empress Dowager, He Jin relented and let them go.

According to what He Jin thought, the eunuch would not dare to oppose him after this encounter.

Moreover, the current emperor is his nephew, so he can definitely have the power to himself, with one person under ten thousand.

At that time, by referring to Wei Tao as the prefect, it seemed that this was indeed the case. No one in the ruling and opposition parties dared to disobey, and one party's senior officials were just taking office as they said, and demoting them as they said.

However, He Jin soon discovered that this was not the case. Someone was gradually opposing him, and the source was Zhang Rang and other eunuchs.

Zhang Rang and other Shichang servants have been in power for so many years, and their party members have spread all over the world. Although Liu Honglong has passed away, since he still holds power now, naturally those party members will not disperse.

The last time Zhang Rang and others could be said to have been caught off guard by He Jin, now it is not so easy for He Jin to want to be on the side of Qing Jun.

As a result, the relationship between the eunuch and He Jin is naturally incompatible.

"Great general, you should continue to suffer from the chaos. Although the eunuchs ordered the inner city to be seized, as long as the imperial court issues an order, only three or five strong men are enough to capture Zhang Rang and others."

Now Cao Cao can be regarded as He Jin's confidant. Seeing the eunuch like this, when he deeply hated He Jin's hesitation before, he also spoke to He Jin.

It is not too late to mend a dead sheep.

If He Jin can follow it, maybe he can really have power over the government and the opposition.

"General, that's not allowed. Not to mention that it is impossible to take down someone close to His Majesty on the spot at the court council, but the Empress Dowager alone is probably..."

The same reason why Jin confidant is also considered to be a fight, not to mention that Yuan Shu has always been a little bit unhappy with Cao Cao, but this time he spoke first.

"What's more, if you act like this, it will inevitably be recorded in the Youyou history books in the future. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

After Empress He became Empress Dowager He, although she did not listen to the government behind the curtain, she was still very powerful, and He Jin was not a resolute and resolute figure. He immediately hesitated when he heard Yuan Shu's words.

"I don't know the road, but what can I do?"

Since Yuan Shu raised an objection, Yuan Shu naturally wanted to give a solution.

"General, the reason why eunuchs are hard to get rid of is because they are your majesty's close ministers. If you do it forcefully, it would be disrespectful. Ordering the general to invite him to Luoyang, and then killing the eunuch with righteousness, is exactly what the world wants."

"Who can do it?"

"Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Xiliang, has the merit of pacifying the Yellow Turban, and he has made great achievements, and he is always proud of his accomplishments. He is actually a loyal man of my great man, and he comes from a poor family. He must hate eunuchs deeply. If he is recruited to Beijing, he will definitely be able to For your Majesty's forerunner, punish the eunuchs."

Yuan Shu is saying that Dong Zhuo only received generous rewards after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and did not increase his rank.

But Yuan Shu didn't know that this was Li Ru's plan. At that time Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard that the court only rewarded him, but he was overjoyed when Li Ru was by his side.

"My lord, if the imperial court rewards you instead of rewarding them, it will allow the world to see the true face of the lord. What's more, if you are transferred to Luoyang and lose your military power, you will be called Gaosheng, but you will actually surrender secretly. This is the suspicion of the imperial court. Now more For probing."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo immediately followed him and expressed his gratitude in the form of thanks.

He Jin naturally knew about Dong Zhuo, but after all, he hadn't had much contact with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's reputation naturally moved He Jin a bit.

But I have to say that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are indeed brothers. In history, Yuan Shao also proposed the theory of recruiting heroes to Luoyang.

But compared to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is really inferior.

Although Yuan Shao also wanted to recruit powerful men to enter Luoyang, but it was not like this at all, and I am afraid that he may not necessarily want to recruit Dong Zhuo, who is a powerful man with a strong army.

"No! Although Dong Zhuo has made great achievements, he is quite ambitious. If he enters Luoyang, he may be at a disadvantage for the general!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Cao Cao lost color immediately and tried to dissuade him. Cao Cao didn't know Dong Zhuo's temperament, but Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhuo had military power. If he led troops into Luoyang, he could fight against He Jin.

"Nonsense, Dong Zhuo has made great contributions to the country, and even beheaded Zhang Bao, the leader of the bandit, with his own hands. The imperial court has given grace but is not proud. It can be said that he is an important minister of the country."

Yuan Shu has a narrow mind, and the most important thing is to see that others disagree with him, so he immediately refute.

After Zhou Gong was afraid of the rumors, Wang Mang bowed to the corporal.

Today's Dong Zhuo is somewhat of this posture, at least He Jin nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Yuan Shu's words.

"What Gonglu said is very true. With the prestige of a great general, you can recruit heroes from all over the world to get rid of eunuchs. However, Mr. Dong is guarding the frontiers. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move lightly. It's better to think about others."

Yuan Shao also opened his mouth at this time, which can be regarded as an outspoken objection, such a tyrannical power has reached Luoyang.

"Everyone is right, I should be careful about this matter."

He Jin was obviously also persuaded, and immediately sent people to contact people from all over the world, and Dong Zhuo was suddenly among them.

"Whoever messes up the world, enter!"

Although Cao Cao tried to persuade him again, it was a pity that He Jin couldn't listen anyway at this time. Cao Cao had no choice but to leave the mansion and sighed to the sky.

In fact, even if Dong Zhuo led the troops to Luoyang, with He Jin, a great general, and Luoyang's own soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo would never be able to dominate the court and bring chaos to the Han Dynasty.

But it's a pity that He Jin's secrets were not kept secret, and such a thing was leaked out, and Zhang Rang and others knew about it.

After learning of this, Zhang Rang and others were terrified, and plotted to kill He Jin overnight.

At this time, He Jin was at a time when he was proud. He only wanted to recruit heroes to kill eunuchs to dominate the government, and Zhang Rang and others borrowed the Queen Mother's will. Persuasion is also useless. .

Poor He Jin didn't think that he dared to be an eunuch to murder himself. He was careless for a while, and was tricked into the palace by Zhang Rang and others, so he directly became the leader.
