Chapter 236: The Shriveled Yuan Kai
Zhang Yu finished the arrangement and let them continue to work.
"Oh, it's a mess, it's not easy."
At this time, Zhang Yu discovered that after half a month, Liaodong was still unable to operate normally.
It was already the early autumn of 187, and the Wuhuan people might come again before entering the winter.
The situation is very bad.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yu has too few soldiers and horses in his hands.
The last time the Wuhuan people came there were 30,000 soldiers, but at this time Zhang Yu didn't even have 20,000 soldiers and horses.
When Zhang Yu was fighting in Liaodong, what he didn't know was that several major events also happened in Kuaiji County.
First of all, the imperial court sent another prefect.
But this prefect was even worse than Yuan Gai, and something happened before he could reach Kuaiji County.
This time he went to Kuaiji County under the escort of Song Yang.
But on the way, they encountered a very powerful "bandit".
Bandits raided them, killing anyone they saw.
Although Song Yang was protected by three thousand soldiers and horses, he still couldn't protect the new prefect.
In the end, Song Yang fled with more than 300 people, and all the others were killed.
Of course, this group of bandits is not a real bandit, but Ling Cao led people to do it.
There were bandits who raided Zhang Yu and the others before, and now there are bandits who raid the newly appointed prefect of Kuaiji.
In this way, the prefect of Kuaiji was of course free again.
Song Yang was very scared and sneaked all the way to Luoyang.
After Song Yang arrived in Luoyang, he went directly to Yuan Kai.
"My lord, we were ambushed by about 5,000 people as soon as we arrived halfway. The subordinates fought hard to fight out, but the rest of them died." Song Yang cried to Yuan Kai.
Yuan Kui's face was dark, and he was trembling with anger.
"Waste, waste, even a bunch of bandits can't deal with it." Yuan Kai cursed angrily, so angry that he couldn't bear it, he kicked Song Yang to the ground.
After Song Yang fell to the ground, he quickly got up, knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, the subordinates are all regular soldiers of the imperial court, how can they be afraid of a group of bandits, but this group of bandits is not simple at all, not to mention well-equipped , and each battle strength is very good, not losing to the troops under the leadership at all."
"You mean?" Yuan Kai said with his eyelids twitching a few times.
Song Yang cupped his fists and said, "That's right, my subordinates suspect that this group of people are fake."
Speaking of this, there is no need to say any more, Yuan Wei also knows what is going on.
Yuan Kai calmed down and waved Song Yang down.
Song Yang stepped back with fists in both hands.
"Zhang Yu, that's ruthless enough, I didn't expect you to do this." Yuan Kai said ruthlessly while sitting on the chair.
Yuan Kui sat alone for a long time, and then sent someone to call Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Kai briefly explained the situation and then said to his two nephews: "This is the case, what do you think?"
The faces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were extremely wonderful, and they didn't expect it to be like this in the end.
This Zhang Yu is still a few years younger than the two of them, but Zhang Yu's achievements at this time are beyond the reach of the two of them, which makes them very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, this matter must be investigated strictly." Yuan Shao said.
Of course Yuan Kui knew that he had to investigate and make a big fuss.
But what Yuan Kai is thinking now is whether there is still a way to win Kuaiji County.
Yuan Kui added: "In the past two or three months, two batches of books from Kuaiji County have been shipped to Luoyang. Each book costs a hundred dollars. Now that there are so many books, many small families can open private schools, which has greatly weakened the books. Our influence, the most urgent task, is to resolve this matter immediately."
Yuan Shu said harshly to Yuan Kai, "Uncle, why don't we send people to intercept their books on the road, it's hard to do it around Luoyang, but it's very easy to do it in other places."
Yuan Kui fell into deep thought after listening.
Half-pay Yuan Kai said with fire in his eyes: "Okay, let Song Yang do it. You must not enter Luoyang with a single book."
Yuan Kai also knew that the risk involved was too great, and if he was caught, the Yuan family might be in big trouble.
But Yuan Kai also knew that they could not control Kuaiji in the short term,
So it can only be used temporarily.
Yuan Kai immediately arranged for people to prepare, greeted many aristocratic families, and asked them to support him in the early court together.
Three days later, there was an early court, and Yuan Kai, who was ready, said to Liu Hong when he went to the court: "Your Majesty, the new Kuaiji prefect was robbed by bandits on the road, and three of my big man were killed by bandits and went with him." Qianguanjun, this is simply a rebellion, Your Majesty, please send troops to wipe it out quickly."
Yuan Kui did not say that someone was counterfeiting, because they had no evidence at all, but he also grasped Liu Hong's weakness.
Sure enough, when Liu Hong heard that someone rebelled and killed 3,000 officers and soldiers, he immediately became nervous.
"There are people who dare to rebel, and immediately send troops to wipe them out. I must wipe them all out." Liu Hong said angrily: "My dear friends, you have to lead the troops."
Yuan Kai immediately stood up and recommended a person, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately agreed, and even the general He Jin did not object.
This one is a genius, and I immediately found it unusual.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has a more suitable candidate."
When Liu Hong was about to agree immediately, Zhang Rang said hastily.
Liu Hong took the words back to his lips, and then asked, "Father, please tell me."
"The most suitable person to exterminate these bandits is of course Zhang Yu. It's just that he is in Liaodong at this time, but His Majesty can send Lord Lu Zhi to go. This Lord Lu has been building roads in these places and is very familiar with it. Let him exterminate the mountains. A thief is naturally the most suitable."
Speaking of Zhang Yu, Liu Hong also misses it for a while, but now he is in Liaodong.
"Okay, then allocate 20,000 troops to Mr. Lu and order him to go and suppress these bandits."
After Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Rang glanced at Yuan Kai and He Jin provocatively.
Yuan Kai was very angry. He had been preparing for this event for a long time, and he also gave He Jin a lot of benefits, so He Jin agreed to support him.
But now Zhang Rang's words ruined it.
But at this time, Yuan Kai could only be deflated, and swallowed his anger into his stomach.
Yuan Kui suffered a huge loss this time, and still failed to win Kuaiji County.
Kuaiji County is very far away, beyond reach.
Going back angrily, Yuan Kui didn't know how many things he dropped at home.
And Zhang Rang is not a fool, he was almost beaten up in Chaoshang, so Zhang Rang immediately sent someone to find out.
"Hehe, this Yuan Kai is out of money again." Zhang Rang said with a sneer when he knew what had happened.
"However, Zhang Yu is not a simple person. Why didn't he see that he still has this skill at the beginning."
When the two prefects had an accident, Zhang Rang also knew that it was Zhang Yu who did it.
At this time, Zhang Rang also became wary of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu was not only capable, but also ruthless.
"If this Zhang Yu can't be used by me sincerely, I'm afraid he will be my opponent in the future." Zhang Rang was thinking about whether he could use Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, who was far away in Liaodong, didn't know the series of things that happened, and he hadn't fully understood Liaodong at this time.
