Before the former governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen, rebelled and died suddenly, he had attempted to collude with three accomplices.
They were Cao Cao, Hua Xin, and Xu You.
Cao Cao and Hua Xin both refused, leaving only Xu You and Wang Fen to come up with a plan.
However, although Cao Cao had refused and dissuaded her, he had not reported Wang Fen!
Therefore, if this matter really blew up and they investigated,
Cao Cao's crime of not reporting the information was unavoidable.
You knew that there was a rebellion and yet you didn't report it. This crime isn't light either.
Cao Cao had always thought that this matter was very secretive, but when his childhood friend Yuan Shao exposed it at this moment, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Yuan Shao had a proud expression that said," Everything is under control."
"Of course I know. Zi Yuan told me before he abandoned his official position and fled.”
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Xu You were all childhood friends.
No wonder Xu You told Yuan Shao about the cause and effect before he fled.
Perhaps Xu You also felt that Yuan Cao's relationship was so good that there was no harm in saying it.
Who asked Xu You to always be a big troll who couldn't hide her words and liked to show off.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept saying that Ah Man didn't know how to restrain himself before he died.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was also proud and arrogant. He couldn't bear to see his little brother Cao Cao refute his opinion, so he directly used a big move to shut the other party up.
Seeing that the situation was already one-sided, He Jin made a decision.
"Then let's go with our original plan. Tomorrow, I will report to Your Majesty that we should suppress and pacify the Youzhou officialdom, abolish a few typical examples, and then send prestigious people and famous generals to take charge of the situation in Youzhou and pacify the Wuhuan.”
After they finished talking about the grand strategy, it was almost half past seven in the morning. He Jin discussed with Yuan Shao,
"In the beginning, a messenger from Jizhou came to report the military situation the day before yesterday.
Today, since you and I have already agreed on a strategy, I want to summon them and understand more about the details of the current situation at the front line. What do you think?”
Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said,"I have received your trust. I will do my best.”
"Someone come!" Summon the messenger from Jizhou."
……
Qiushou, Liu Bei, and Li Tian had been waiting at the entrance of the General's Residence since early in the morning.
They had no choice. The time to inform them was 12:45.
Even though she knew that He Jin's actions were slow and that he would only be summoned after discussing with his confidant,
The Jizhou envoy could only wait for nothing.
Who asked everyone to say nothing now?
They could only wait, not He Jin.
Now that there was no stool, he knelt on the mat in the gatehouse.
It's not good to sit with your legs spread out. After sitting for a long time, your legs are numb.
When Li Tian stood up, he almost staggered.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was quick enough to help him up.
The three of them cherished this opportunity to show their faces and carefully entered the inner hall one by one.
He Jin sat arrogantly in the middle of the main hall with one leg upright and his elbow on his raised knee.
When he saw the messenger, he just waved his hand casually.
"Don't drive Ju, tell me the details of the military situation at the front line.
Benchu, Meng De, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
"Thank you, Great General!"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao cupped their hands.
When Li Tian heard the words " Ben Chu, Meng De ", his heart trembled slightly. He didn't dare to raise his head and only looked up. He saw two people sitting on He Jin's left and right.
The man on the left was tall and mighty. His appearance and temperament were extraordinary. He could be considered a handsome middle-aged man.
The person on the right was sitting at least a head shorter than the person on the left. When he stood up, he was even shorter.
He was slightly fat, and his skin was rough and slightly dark.
However, his beard was very exquisitely groomed. It was obvious that he had taken care of it carefully, covering up most of his facial flaws, so his face did not look ugly.
According to the records in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Li Tian could tell that the handsome one was Yuan Shao.
As for Ju Shou and Liu Bei, when they heard He Jin mention Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they did not react at all.
Obviously, they didn't think that these two military officials had anything special that was worth paying attention to.
Then, Ju Shou went through the details of the Jizhou battlefield.
There was definitely more to be said than what was written on the memorial.
Because memorials had to be fixed in written form, and the court would keep a record of it after it was taken away, those speculations and guesses that were not very certain would definitely not be written in the memorial.
However, when he asked her in person, especially in private, he could tell her all these.
Therefore, after listening for a while, He Jin and Yuan Shao felt that they had gained a lot and understood more about the bandits in Jizhou and Youzhou.
Because Yuan Shao suggested "find some negative examples of Youzhou officials to shirk responsibility",
At this moment, she was anxious to show off her talent and strategy in front of He Jin, so she could not help but ask a question,
"Biejia Ju, do you know which counties of Youzhou Zhang Chun has fallen into?
Which of the important officials of the imperial court failed to deal with the thief, or might have died in the line of duty?”
Qiushou was speechless for a moment.
He had no idea what He Jin and Yuan Shao had talked about just now. How could he talk about such a tricky question?
Why did Yuan Benchu always want to find a scapegoat to appease the warring parties?
Fortunately, Li Tian was beside him. He secretly gave Liu Bei a look and reported,"
"Reporting to Great General, Ju Bie Jia didn't personally come to the battle, so he doesn't know.
This humble servant was once Zhang Chun's post supervisor and participated in the arrest of Zhang Chun with Liu County Lieutenant. Liu County Lieutenant and I can answer this question.”
When He Jin heard Li Tian's lowly status, his expression turned ugly. However, Yuan Shao needed to get some information from him, so he patiently asked,"
"Please try!"
After all, Yuan Shao still had self-restraint. Even if it was to pretend to be a little courteous, he was at least more willing to pretend than He Jin.
Li Tian cupped his hands and replied,"
"When we captured Zhang Chun, we captured some of his trusted aides.
It was said that when they escaped from Jizhou, they received Zhang Chun's order.
He said that he wanted to break through Zhuo County and head to Yuyang to join forces with King Nanqiao of Wuhuan.
Because there is no conclusive evidence of this matter, for fear of framing innocent people, Jia Cishi did not write it into the memorial.
However, in my opinion, since Zhang Chun dared to break through Zhuo County and break out of the encirclement in the direction of Yuyang County, he must have some confidence. He wouldn't be courting death.
Therefore, the Wuhuan of Yuyang were the most likely to be the first to follow the bandits.
If the Wuhuan of Yuyang and Zhang Chun worked together from the inside, the Yuyang County Chief and the Wuhuan Lieutenant General guarding Yuyang, Gong Qichou, would have met with misfortune.”
Qiushou and Liu Bei were shocked by Li Tian's words.
Liu Bei was slightly better off, because the bandits he saw at the front line were indeed similar to what Li Tian had said. It was just that Liu Bei did not dare to analyze it on his own.
These words were all further deduced based on the clues of the situation at the front line. Without solid evidence, they definitely did not dare to write them into the report. They only dared to mention them enlighteningly.
As for why Li Tian dared to say it, it wasn't because he had a strict deduction, but because it was written in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
But after Yuan Shao heard this deduction, his eyes instantly lit up.
