Wei County, Yecheng!
Xiao Yi hurried all the way and temporarily ordered the team to be stationed and repaired outside the city. And he, as the behind-the-scenes master of Jizhou, went to the city to inspect and meet with the local officials and people.
Since Dong Zhao served as the pastor of Jizhou, all kinds of utensils, farm tools, and seeds from Youzhou have also been brought to Jizhou.
This is a new opportunity for Jizhou, which has been devastated by the war.
The people were grateful to Xiao Yat for bringing them food crops and a stable living environment.
In addition, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been exempted.
Knowing that Xiao Yi was coming, the people of Yecheng rushed to greet him, which shows that Xiao Yi's status in the hearts of the people has surpassed everything.
He spent a few days getting to know the officials and the people, and discussed with Dong Zhao about the way to govern Jizhou.
Dong Zhao is indeed very talented, and in just three months after taking office, he has a good understanding of the current situation in Jizhou, and has put forward several very constructive suggestions. It is very helpful for the governance of Jizhou and the development of Youzhou.
Moreover, his performance is also visible.
Now the hearts of the people in Jizhou have been stabilized, and the development of all walks of life has been on the right track. Yecheng, the largest city in Jizhou, has also returned to its former liveliness.
After a few days,
Wei Zhongxian brought news from Luoyang,
Dong Zhuo defeated Ding Yuan in Pingxian outside Luoyang City, and his general Zhang Ji broke into Ding Yuan's camp and cut off Ding Yuan's head. In addition, Dong Zhuo used tough means to intimidate the ministers of the DPRK and China. No one dared to oppose his abolition of the emperor.
A few days ago, he held a court meeting under the edict of the Son of Heaven, forced the young emperor to abdicate, and supported King Chen Liu's ascension to the throne as the puppet emperor.
Dong Zhuo boasted that he had the merit of establishing the emperor, and let the new emperor crown him as a prince, ranking above the hundred officials. Since then, Dong Zhuo has become more and more arrogant, going to the palace with his sword, and even staying in the harem. Travel is also relied on by the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible to dominate!"
Dong Zhuo was indeed a jackal, and soon revealed his true nature.
However, Xiao Yi never regarded himself as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, so he was not angry when he heard these words.
And he knew it was going to happen, he just didn't want to stop it.
In his eyes, Dong Zhuo, like Wang Fen, is an opportunity.
Wang Fen is the opportunity to seize Jizhou, and Dong Zhuo is the opportunity to seize the world!
After listening to Wei Zhongxian's report, Xiao Yi nodded slightly, revealing an expression that he had expected.
"Dong Zhuo's chaos caused chaos in the dynasty, and the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials were miserable. If the lord can crusade against Dong Zhuo and rescue the Son of Heaven, then he will support the Son of Heaven to order the world, and the princes of the world will not dare to disobey!"
Liu Ji felt that this was an excellent opportunity and said excitedly.
In fact, they have the same idea as Dong Zhuo, they all want to establish their authority by abolishing the emperor and choosing a better controlling emperor as a puppet.
Therefore, Liu Ji also put forward the policy of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".
Everyone nodded and seconded Liu Ji.
Only Xiao Yi was unmoved.
He didn't want to follow Cao Cao's old path, the efficiency was too poor.
Now his strength is much stronger than Cao Cao in history, and his ministers are like clouds, and his reputation is 100 times that of Cao Cao. There are also large areas of land in Youzhou and Jizhou as the foundation, and tens of millions of people support them. He doesn't need to use the fame of the Son of Heaven to convince the heroes!
"The lord hesitated in his eyes, did he think that what his subordinates said was wrong?"
Liu Ji saw Xiao Yi's hesitant eyes, and seemed to be not very optimistic about his proposal, so he asked curiously.
Xiao Yi glanced at him,
He lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking at the monarchs, "Do you think that the Han family still has a binding force on the states and counties today, and how many people will really obey the orders of the royal family?"
Hearing this, everyone thought for a moment,
Dong Zhao said, "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes of various places have supported their own troops, all of which are wolf ambitions. The orders of the Han family were also disobeyed, except for a few Han clan relatives and loyal ministers, very few people did things seriously. The Han family has almost no binding force on the states and counties, especially in remote areas!"
The best example is the four places of Xiliang, Youzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou.
It can be said that these four places are the four independent capital kingdoms!
The orders of the Han Dynasty did not work at all in these places. Even, each place has its own policy, which is contrary to the Han law!
But so what?
The Han dynasty declined, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven was impacted again and again, and he had long lost the hearts of the people. Even if he knew that the royal family kept making orders in remote areas, the Son of Heaven couldn't help it.
First, there is no conscription of troops, and second, there is no suppression of prestige!
They can only be allowed to develop, and let the princes contain each other.
"Gongren (Dong Zhao's words) is right, even the Son of Heaven personally ordered it, and the officials everywhere only obeyed the yang and the yin. Then who will listen to what I say through the mouth of the Son of Heaven?"
Xiao Yat said.
The crowd was lost in thought.
Listen, maybe someone will listen! But at best, it is only perfunctory, and it is absolutely impossible to do things seriously.
This has long been confirmed by Cao Cao.
In history, after Cao Cao supported the Son of Heaven, he asked Liu Bei to kill Lü Bu in the name of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Bei took the initiative to tell him about it in order to win over Lü Bu. Later, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to fight Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei was just for show.
There are so many such examples!
If you want others to be obedient, it is useless to borrow other people's strength, you can only use powerful force to subdue him and annex him!
"I see what my lord means. "
Liu Ji thought for a moment and said, "There are many remnants of yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou, and the lord can use this as an excuse to send troops to Yanzhou." Yanzhou Thorn Shi Qiaomao's ability is mediocre, and he is not enough to take on the big responsibility. "
The meaning of his words is very clear.
That is to squeeze out the bridge and support another Yanzhou pastor! Just like Jizhou.
"Master, the slave can do this!"
As soon as Liu Ji's words were finished, Zhang Ning suddenly stood up and said.
"You?"
Not only Xiao Yat, but everyone else was also surprised.
Could it be that Zhang Ning wants to take the initiative to invite Ying and lead his troops to fight?
But isn't she the lord's bodyguard and the maid of the army, how can she lead the troops to fight!
In the face of everyone's doubts, Zhang Ning's eyes were firm,
The leader of the Yellow Turban in this area of Yanzhou is his father's disciple Bu Si, who has long had the intention of taking refuge in his master. At that time, the slave maid thought that Yanzhou was far away from Youzhou and it was inconvenient, so she refused.
Now that the master army has arrived, there is a plan to annex Yanzhou. Slaves and maids should go to the thieves' camp and let them help their masters!
She is a saintess of Taiping Dao and has always been admired by the Yellow Turban Army. Now, she has inherited the mantle of Zhang Jiao and can be regarded as the new leader of Taiping Dao. It couldn't be more appropriate for her to come forward to negotiate with the Yellow Turban Army.
But Xiao Yat was worried,
If Bu Si changes his mind and refuses to listen to the words of the holy woman, wouldn't he be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
You can't let your women put themselves in danger because of the war!
"No, it's too dangerous. "
Xiao Yi waved his hand and directly rejected Zhang Ning's proposal.
However, Zhang Ning, who has always been well-behaved, is very stubborn at the moment.
His face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, he is a faithful believer in Taiping Dao and his father's most trusted disciple, and he will not change his mind." Let the slave go.
Liu Junshi also said just now that if you want to get Yanzhou justifiably, the only way to do it is to let the Yellow Turban Army 'help'.
If they didn't ventilate in advance, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be afraid to flee when they heard the prestige of the lord. When the time comes, in what name will the master take Yanzhou? "
This girl is becoming more and more fickle.
What she said made a lot of sense, and Xiao Yat couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Liu Ji was also impressed by Zhang Ning, and didn't dare to despise this woman anymore, so he helped her think of a way, "Since Miss Zhang trusts Bu Si so much, it is better to let Bu Si come to see the lord." First, it shows his sincerity, second, it can keep the girl safe, and third, it can also probe his strength. What does the girl think?"
Letting Bu Si come over is the best way!
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes!"
She believes in Bu Si!
