Text 60. Yanzhou Rebellion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The temperature in Yanzhou this year seems to be still very high, and the precipitation is similar to the same period last year, not too much.

    Although Cao Cao also has many capable officials, whether they are Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Ren Jun, who are in charge of general government affairs, or Zao Zhi, Man Chong, Sima Lang, Lu Qian, etc. who are in charge of specific tasks, they are all outstanding talents in the world. Even if they are  Military generals such as Cao Zixiao, Xia Houyuanrang, and Li Mancheng actually had enough capable officials to take charge of local affairs, but in the face of the weather that was beyond human control, there was not much they could do.

    Even at night, the feeling of boredom is still there. The annoying heat is eroding the already impetuous mind all the time.

    Xun Yu was still as usual, even though it was time to finish working, he was still bent over his desk. The news coming from various places made him very anxious. Although many measures had been taken in advance, the disaster situation this year was better than  Last year, whether it was the affected area or the general moisture content of the soil, it was naturally encouraging to compare it with last year. However, because this year a large number of control areas suddenly increased, judging from the returns, if there were not enough newly conquered areas,  Even if the food allocation does not lead to civil unrest, it will definitely produce a large number of refugees, thus creating a huge factor of instability.

    Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but scolded Yuan Shu in his heart. If this guy hadn't expropriated Yuzhou and allowed himself and his men to spend so much, he wouldn't have turned the flat and fertile Yuzhou into the mess it is now.  This situation not only prevented Cao Cao's army, which was already somewhat financially stretched, from receiving timely and effective supplements, but even required an additional expenditure.

    This made Xun Yu imagine studying with Bingzhou Army for a moment.  Use various methods to make up for these gaps from the powerful landlords who have a surplus of food in their families. Anyway, even Xun Yu actually looks down upon some families. Even if they are eliminated, I am afraid that he himself will applaud in private.  , even floating in the air.

    "It's a pity that such an idea is just a momentary impulse. After all, he, Xun Wenruo, was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan, and his origin determined where his vision lies.  Although in the process of moving into Yanzhou, both he and Chen Gong acquiesced in Cao Cao's purge of some powerful people in Yanzhou, but that was just so that Cao Cao could more effectively control the power of Yanzhou. For those who were unaware of the changes in the world,  The fool will die if he dies.

    ¡°But if it¡¯s just to make up for the financial gap, they will go on a killing spree.  Xun Yu felt that this was definitely a dangerous signal.

    Probably because the working hours are too long.  Xun Yu felt that he should go out for a walk to get some fresh air. Although it was neither cool nor pleasant to see outside, he could not resist the unknown temptation brought by a change of environment.

    Next to the government office where Xun Yu worked, there was the government office where Chen Gong worked.

    For this colleague of mine.  He is also Cao Cao's right-hand man.  Xun Yu's emotions were somewhat complicated.

    Chen Gong is a very talented Yanzhou celebrity.  On this point, both Xun Yu and Cao Cao admitted that Chen Gong was of considerable standard in terms of administrative ability and strategic and tactical planning.  Even in terms of strategic and tactical planning, Chen Gong can break down the entire battlefield into many different parts, and has a considerable grasp of each part.

    Perhaps because the things he was given were so detailed, Chen Gong was used to taking into account as many aspects as possible every time he made a plan, which gave people the illusion of reacting too slowly, but Xun Yu knew very well that for such a counselor,  , once you let him react and calculate everything clearly, you will only fall into his pace unless you can find some variables beyond his plan.

    As Cao Cao's right-hand man, Chen Gong also had a lot of work at hand. However, as Xun Yu gradually became familiar with various businesses, many of the tasks that should have belonged to Chen Gong were unknowingly transferred to Xun Yu.  Since when did Xun Yu no longer be able to see the candlelight of Chen Gongfu who had burned the midnight oil with him at such a time?

    But unexpectedly, today's Chen Gong Yamen unexpectedly lit up with candlelight, and it looked very bright. It seemed that there were many people in the Yamen at the same time who didn't know what to do. No matter how  It makes people extremely suspicious just looking at it.

    "Has it already reached this time"

    Xun Yu sighed inexplicably, waved his hand behind him, and immediately a soldier trotted up behind him.

    Xun Yu casually handed over a token tied to his waist to the other party. Without looking at the soldier who quickly disappeared into the darkness, Xun Yu continued his walk, but he had not taken a few steps.  He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

    In this breath, there is happiness, emotion, helplessness, and regret, but there is no uneasiness or hesitation.

    At the same time, PuyangThe city was not too far away from the palace, just about three squares away from the palace. In a large mansion, a group of people dressed as scribes were sitting around the house.  From the faces of these people, you can see excitement, nervousness, uneasiness, hesitation, viciousness, etc. It seems that all the faces in the world have been condensed into this small room.  , if you understand this, maybe you will be able to understand the various but ever-changing laws of the world.

    "Brother, what are you still hesitating about? Since Cao Mengde was unkind in the first place, why should brother be so hesitant? Moreover, Yuan Shao sent people to help Cao Mengde a while ago. Even if Cao Mengde is really affectionate and righteous, brother, what do you think?  Comparing you and Yuan Shao, who will Cao Mengde choose? If you keep breaking up, you will suffer the consequences!"

    Zhang Miao's mood at this time was extremely complicated. Even though he had been planning for a long time, even if it was now the time when the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he was still hesitating. He still felt that he could not give the order for the final blow.

    Speaking of which, he is also a famous person in the world. In terms of reputation alone, everyone here, including the entire Cao Cao army, could never compare with him in the past.

    Yes, whether it is Cao Cao who has become the overlord of one party, or Chen Gong and Xun Yu who have gradually shown their talents and gained fame.

    He, Zhang Mengzhuo, is a famous figure in the world who has been famous since the disaster of the party.  He was young and rich, and he was a knight. It can be said that if the world had not changed so much and it was still the original system, even in the era of rampant eunuchs, Zhang Miao felt that he would not be like what he is now.  Life is so frustrating.

    After all, even when the eunuchs were running rampant and plotting against party members, Zhang Miao could rely on his family wealth and fame to remain a wealthy man in peace and quiet, waiting for the situation to change and the wind to change.  Naturally, he can come back and rely on his reputation as before.  Perhaps with a little financial support, not to mention high-ranking officials with two thousand stones, even the nine ministers in the court can try to make an impact.  Even if you can't sit on it for too long.  But as long as you have reached that level.  That's enough for the family.

    But who would have thought that the direction of the wind has changed, but the change is as earth-shaking.  It was so huge that it was difficult for him to adapt.

    But what about the consequences of not adapting?

    Just like this, because he was too cowardly in the battle against Yuan Shu, he was dismissed by Cao Cao. Yuan Shao, who also felt that he had been slapped in the face, the young man who once needed his support, is now in a high position.  Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who were powerful enough to be the overlord of one party and even had the possibility of conquering the world, constantly asked Cao Cao openly and secretly, hoping to solve his "trouble".

    He is no longer the popular celebrity that everyone once sought after, but has he become a trouble that people can't avoid?

    Zhang Miao felt very uncomfortable and his heart ached. This was probably the so-called "pain of betrayal."

    ?Actually, to be honest, Zhang Miao felt that Cao Cao treated him pretty well.

    Zhang Miao himself knew exactly what was going on with Yuan Shu's failure and how poor his performance was.  When Cao Cao's entire power was defeated, Cao Cao just scolded him and forced him to stay at home. It was not the most severe punishment. Although it was a bit sad, it didn't make people feel that there was a reason for the incident.  Chilling.

    What made Zhang Miao feel helpless was that not long before these things happened, his younger brother Zhang Chao was finally driven away from Guangling by Tao Qian because of his conflict with Tao Qian, and the position of Guangling prefect was also replaced by Tao Qian.  Qian gave it to Zhao Yu, a famous scholar in Xuzhou.

    As the younger brother, Zhang Chao came to join him due to difficulties. As a result, the eldest brother Zhang Miao, as the elder brother and inherited most of the family wealth, ended up in such a situation. You can imagine the distress in Zhang Miao's heart, and Zhang Chao nagged a few words in his ear.  , which is even more frustrating.

    It happened that under this situation, Yuan Shao's chilling behavior was reported again, and Zhang Miao's subsequent life was even more shocking. Even if he knew that Cao Cao did not intend to embarrass him too much, just as his brother said,  As a fish, you will eventually be killed by a sword.

    In fact, no one expected this situation earlier. Gao Rou, the younger generation of the Chenliu Gao family, was one of them.

    A few years ago, Gao Rou, whose father was still serving as a captain in Shu County but stayed at home to study, saw Cao Cao moving into Yanzhou, so she took the initiative to find her hometown, hoping that they could leave Chenliu, a place of right and wrong, with her. However, everyone at that time  Everyone has seen the fateful friendship between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao, but no one thought that the two people with such a friendship would end up where they are today due to changes in status. In the end, only Gao Rou took his tribe to Jizhou to seek refuge.  Cong brother Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew.

    ¡°Heroes now rise togetherAt that time, Chenliu was the place where the four wars were fought, and Cao Cao had the ambition to invade all directions. He might not be content with just guarding Yanzhou, so he was afraid that there would be many wars here.  In addition, when Zhang Miao first raised his army, he first became the prefect of Chenliu. At that time, Cao Cao was still a small force that needed his help to survive.  But now, Zhang Miao is still the governor of Chenliu, but Cao Cao has become the shepherd of Yanzhou. If Zhang Miao is asked to follow Cao Cao in the war, he will rebel sooner or later.  "

    Gao Rou¡¯s judgment is not widely circulated, but it is not unknown either.  Especially now, it seems that this judgment is so accurate - at least the first half of the judgment has been verified.  It was precisely because of knowing such a conclusion that the children of the aristocratic family who had always been dissatisfied with Cao Cao's ruling methods found their backbone, coupled with the instigation of his younger brother Zhang Chao.

    Today, Zhang Miao has reached a situation where he has to shoot even if he doesn't want to.

    Do you regret it?  Resentful?  Zhang Miao thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

    But there is only one thing that he knows very well. This rebellion means that the friendship between him and Cao Cao for more than ten years will be severed!

    It¡¯s just that Zhang Miao doesn¡¯t want to die.  At least he didn't want to die so cowardly. When he faced Yuan Shu's army in Chenliu, he had already made the wrong choice, which had brought his life to an unprecedented low, and it seemed that he would never get up again.  possible.  In this case, it is better to fight to the death, even if it means death, it can be regarded as a grand event.

    At this moment, Zhang Miao felt that the courage that had been far away from him seemed to have returned to his body. He seemed to have returned to the age when he was free and reckless in the world.  It was a beautiful and innocent age.  At that time, he was impulsive and enthusiastic, and valued friendship but despised money. So even though he had to face many difficulties at that time, he was happier than he is now.

    ?Perhaps compared with such happiness and freedom.  The life of tying oneself to oneself is indeed disgusting.

    Even if the coalition forces attacked Dong Zhuo.  Face the seemingly invincible and terrifying monster on the battlefield.  The determination and courage in my heart cannot be compared to what I am now.

    Because at that time, he still had all kinds of worries, and his whole person was bound by various norms, unlike now.  He is free!

    As if he had made up his mind, Zhang Miao stood up, making everyone present look up at him.

    He looked around at the people sitting next to him. There were local celebrities in Yanzhou who once held important positions in the Yanzhou Prefectural Mufu, such as Xu Si, Fan Yi, Wang Kai, and Xue Lan. There were also powerful generals from Yanzhou who were serving under Cao Cao.  Such as Xu Xi, Mao Hui, Li Feng, as well as representatives of powerful families from Chenliu County where he once served, such as Zhao Chong, Sun Sheng, Gao Hong, Zhao Zhong, Tu Sui and others. Of course, there are also some lurking in other places to prepare.  The powerful local families in Yanzhou responded to them.

    These people seem to have one thing in common, that is, they once had a lot of power, but they lost their power after Cao Cao moved to Yanzhou. It seems that they will continue to live such a frustrated life, and in the end  The important thing is that they are not willing to be lonely, not willing to be far away from the center of power, and they are not willing to lose the opportunity to taste the delicious taste that power brings.

    So even though they still have quite a lot of differences about the future, they still stand together and unite.

    And from this perspective, these guys who are preparing to rebel are actually not bad in terms of strength, at least the number alone is amazing.

    Of course, we can¡¯t forget Zhang Miao¡¯s younger brother Zhang Chao. That man is also one of the core figures in this plan.

    "I actually don't agree with what Cao Mengde did in Yanzhou. He killed too much and treated my family too harshly. This is not good and will lose people's hearts. Especially now that His Majesty is by your side. If  It is a greater crime for Your Majesty to misunderstand us and think that we are following Cao Mengde to harm the pillars of the country. As Cao Mengde's best friend, I have the responsibility and the obligation to correct my friend's mistakes. In order to prevent Cao Mengde from not wanting to  If I continue to make mistakes again and again on the wrong path, I have decided!"

    Everyone stood up. No matter how they felt before, at this point, everyone had no choice. The only thing they could do next was to win, or fall on the way to escape.  .

    "According to the previous plan, we will travel at night and control the palace gate as quickly as possible. Then one part of them will go to greet the Holy Emperor, and the other part will be responsible for capturing various government offices in Taiwan Province. Here we will obtain new  Support, so you can attack boldly with confidence, but you must control Fu Xilang and get the emperor's seal. Then you can threaten Xun Yu and others with the emperor's life to draft an edict and put the palace gate guards andThe gate guards will be replaced by our people.  After daybreak, the emperor can use the name of the emperor to summon hundreds of officials to appear, and declare Cao Mengde and his party members as traitors at the court meeting. In this way, the important matter will be considered accomplished.

    As for whether to call Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou to come to discuss in the name of the emperor, or to use the emperor as a bargaining chip to discuss cooperation with other forces, it depends on the next situation. Let's not be too ambitious.  The most important thing now is that everything I said before cannot go wrong, because our wealth and life are already on this matter. If we do something wrong, we will die.  I believe that none of you would want to see the outcome of clan annihilation.  "

    "I would like to respect your command!" xn.

    In the open space in Zhang Miao's mansion, all the private soldiers who had been waiting for a long time filed out. They will follow their general and rush towards the unknown front. As for what they will encounter in the dark night,  No one knows, because no one will tell them. After all, even in this era, the emperor has lost the majesty of the past in the eyes of powerful families, but to ordinary people and big-headed soldiers who come from the common people, he is still  A big shot that would scare them.

    In the dark night, the teams with torches were like poisonous snakes spitting out their cores, winding and circling in Puyang City.

    As one of the commanding heights of Puyang City, on the wall of the Imperial City, a group of strange people wearing linen shorts, straw sandals, long swords on their waists, and long bows on their backs appeared at some point.  He has disheveled hair, a long sword on each side of his waist, and a ferocious expression, like a beast lurking in the dark night.

    A cold glance at the "fire dragon" outside the city, when the first person showed that everyone stopped, and then one person walked over with a cage, which turned out to be a black pigeon.

    He tied the message to be delivered to the carrier pigeon's leg, and watched as the dark color of the carrier pigeon melted into the night in an instant. A cold smile appeared on the stern face of the leader, and he looked at the "Fire Dragon" in the distance.  It's like looking at a group of dead people.

    "They harbor evil intentions, and the longer they simmer, the more harmful they will be. What's more, we are in the light while they are in the dark. We use light to see darkness, and it is difficult to tell the truth from falsehood. If we use darkness to look at light, we can see every detail. So I thought it was the best strategy.  They pretend not to be on guard, and encourage them to take risks when they are desperate, and make clever preparations in the dark. Once they start, they are in the light and we are in the dark, so it is easy to get rid of them."

    This passage has been swirling in Xun Yu's mind. It is undeniable that his recent work has been centered around this matter, but personally, he is actually unwilling to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.  Heavy handed.

    He knew very well why these people did this, and he also knew very well who forced them to embark on this path step by step. Once these people died because of this incident, they would certainly provide Cao Cao's army with  A large amount of continued financial, material and even manpower has also loosened the originally stable system. No one can guess what the situation will look like by then.

    However, I guess he, this "accomplice", will also be on the blacklist of those powerful Yanzhou families who must kill him.

    It¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s really a pity, but if you think about it from another angle, can these people really not see it?

    As long as Cao Cao is assisted in expanding his influence, even if his former power will be weakened in the short term due to Cao Cao's taking over, in the long run, as long as Cao Cao can maintain the current momentum of rapid development, those things that have been lost will eventually be lost.  They can still make up for it, and even as the earliest ministers of the dragon and as a reward for the original weakening, they can only get more.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    To a certain extent, even if these families that are not adapted to the troubled times do not die out due to the current setbacks, I am afraid that sooner or later they will decline due to other reasons. But at that time, will they be eradicated by drastic means or will they be relaxed?  Even if it is flattened by the changes of time, it is not something that ordinary people can predict.

    After all, now that they have embarked on the road of no return that has been prepared for a long time, they have become irreconcilable enemies with Cao Cao's army. There is only one way to deal with the enemy, and that is to use all available methods to defeat them.  On the contrary, from the soul to the soul, because kindness to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself.

    As for remembering the Spring and Autumn Period, let¡¯s wait until the enemies have been completely eliminated.

    In this trance, the long "fire dragons" have reached the position close to the palace gate. Now the thunderous war drums have been beating. Both sides are going to kill each other, and the cruel Shura field is about to take place.

    And just at this time, a young man's figure also appeared on the wall of the imperial city, watching the approaching "fire dragons" that were regrouping, and said nothing for a long time.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
