After leaving the Provincial Governor's Office, Cai Yong couldn't help but look at Chen Xiao.
"Zi Ang, is the Imperial Court really going to transfer Jia Mengjian to Zhuo County?”
Although he had not been in court for many years, he still had some understanding of the situation in the court.
How could the Ten Generals bear to let their own Jia Cong be transferred away from the position of Jizhou Provincial Governor?
This didn't make sense.
"Everyone knows that Provincial Governor Jia has eunuchs backing him up, but do you know which one of the Ten Attendants of the Eternal is backing him up?”
Chen Xiao didn't answer but asked with a smile.
"I've been away from the imperial court for many years, so I don't know much…" Cai Yong was startled.
"It's Zhao Zhong!"
Without waiting for Cai Yong to finish, Chen Xiao gave the answer,""And this time, I spent money to buy an official position in the capital, mainly to bribe Zhang Rang.”
Zhang Ran and Zhao Zhong were the two most powerful figures among the Ten Attendants.
When Cai Yong heard this, he was shocked,""Are you trying to say that in the court, although the Great General's faction and the Ten Attendants are fighting to the death, the Ten Attendants are actually not united?”
"Teacher's eyes are like torches, you hit the nail on the head.”
Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Her words revealed a vision that surpassed the times." Faced with He Jin's party, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are working together, but at the same time, they are also thinking of expanding their forces…"
"If I take Jia Cong away, Zhang Rang will be able to arrange for his own person to succeed him. Isn't this a good thing for him?”
He described the power struggle that no one knew about in Luoyang.
Cai Yong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Why would Zhao Zhong agree to this?" he asked subconsciously.”
"He doesn't need to agree. His Majesty only needs to agree.”
Chen Xiao smiled." Besides, the one who drafted the edict was Zhang Rang, and the one who stamped the seal was Shangshu Tai. Grand Tutor Yuan Kui and those ministers of Shangshu Tai can't wait to see the Ten Attendants fight among themselves."”
So, in reality, this matter was led by Zhang Rang, and the Minister's Office was adding fuel to the fire?
The eunuchs and the civil officials actually cooperated with each other?
Cai Yong was completely speechless.
He felt that his understanding had been challenged. It turned out that in the struggle for power, there were no so-called enemies, only eternal interests!
What shocked him even more was that all of this…was actually Chen Xiao's secret scheme!
This student's sincerity was as deep as the sea!
"Zi Ang, I always thought you were a scholar, but a few days ago, I found out that you were also a general.”
Cai Yong sighed deeply, his face dispirited."No wonder you said this old man is not suitable for the court. This old man can't even see through all these schemes. Once I get caught up in them, I probably won't even know how I died!”
It was only at this moment that he completely lost all thoughts of being an official.
He would spend the rest of his life teaching and studying in Youzhou Academy!
"Teacher, you don't have to belittle yourself. Machiavellian tactics are just a means. Throughout history, how many people have relied on political tactics to make their names known?”
Chen Xiao comforted Cai Yong sincerely,""Compared to that, teaching, learning, and cultivating countless talents are the real great achievements that will leave a mark in history!”
Cai Yong nodded and agreed.
There was no longer any unwillingness in his heart.
After a pause, he asked curiously,"Speaking of which, you think highly of Jia Cong. Are you confident that he will go to Zhuo County?”
"I have no choice. Youzhou lacks talents.”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao was also somewhat helpless.""Jia Cong is the governor of a province, and his abilities and methods are not bad. If he can be the governor of Zhuo County, at the very least, he can effectively implement my decree!”
But even so, it didn't matter whether Jia Cong went or not.
From the beginning to the end, his goal was only Jiushou.
Jia Cong was just a side effect.
…………
The next day, the team set off again.
However, in the group, there was an additional Jushou carriage.
At the same time, Zhang He officially became the Commandant of Cavalry in Youzhou, and he still led a hundred elite cavalry under his command.
Jia Cong didn't immediately go to his post, but he took out another four hundred elite cavalry from the Jizhou army to supplement Zhang He. At the same time, he ordered two thousand infantry to escort him along the way in case he encountered any other dangers.
After all, at this time, Jizhou was not peaceful.
"Jia Mengjian sure knows how to do things."
Chen Xiao gladly accepted Jia Cong's good intentions.
Thus, as time passed, the entire team grew larger and slower. They passed through Zhao County, Guangping County, and Julu County. By the time they reached the Kingdom of Zhongshan, more than 20 days had passed.
At this moment, after Zhou Cang's persuasion along the way and many refugees hearing the news, they spontaneously gathered.
The number of refugees had already reached 100,000!
After a bumpy journey, Cai Yong rubbed his eyes tiredly,""Lunu County is in front of us, not far from the Zhen family of Wuji.”
Lunu County was the seat of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
After passing through this city, they would leave Jizhou and enter Zhuo County of Youzhou in less than a day.
It was also Liu Bei's hometown.
As there were more and more people accompanying them, the time spent on this trip had already exceeded Chen Xiao's expectations.
Therefore, he did not intend to waste any more time. After thinking for a moment, he said,"Teacher, I plan to let Jiang 'er go back to the Zhen family. After a while, I'll bring my family to Youzhou. How about Zhao Ji? You can also rest in the Zhen family for a few days!"
"To the Zhen family?"
Cai Yong was stunned, and then he reacted,"Do you think that the road ahead will not be peaceful?”
"It's possible."
Chen Xiao smiled." The matter of bringing the people back to the north has caused such a commotion that the entire Jizhou Province is in an uproar. It has taken nearly a month to get here. If I were Zhang Chun or Zhang Ju, I would never wait for the new Overseers of Youzhou to settle the refugees before dealing with myself..."
"Instead, they will take this opportunity to send troops to attack!”
To Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, Gongsun Zan, who was trapped in Guan Zhong City, was no longer a threat.
However, the new Youzhou Overseer sent by the imperial court was definitely a huge threat.
This was because the Overseer of Youzhou was here to suppress the rebellion.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiao would reach Ji City in half a month's time if she went all the way north. She would then gather the military forces of the various counties. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju might not have the chance to react.
However, at this moment, Chen Xiao was among the hundred thousand citizens. Her goal was clear and she could not hide it at all.
In addition, he had yet to take up his post, so he only had a few military guards by his side.
Such a heaven-sent opportunity!
If Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju turned a blind eye, Chen Xiao would doubt their intelligence!
When Cai Yong heard this, he suddenly felt a wave of killing intent.
"If that's the case, the best place to attack is the border between Jizhou and Youzhou. We only have five hundred elite cavalry and two thousand infantry from Jizhou.”
