Chapter 1088 Heavenly Rank Mission [Liu Kuan’s Relics]!
Xi Zhicai did not do anything tricky, but the Night Shadow Department of the Great Wilderness Territory could do something tricky!
In addition to continuous expansion, the Night Shadow Department also constantly inquired about various news, including intelligence information such as famous generals and resources.
Although Xuzhou is not as good as Sili, Jizhou, Jingzhou, etc., it is also a populous state. The population base has not been counted in detail by the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, the business atmosphere here is quite strong.
Xuzhou is a wealthy state!
Among the many large states, Xuzhou is relatively safe and stable.
There are many wealthy families in the state. After Cao Cao's father retired, he also chose to enjoy his old age in Xuzhou. However, later Boss Cao made a fortune in Yanzhou, and his father's family moved back to Yanzhou from Xuzhou. And this matter was full of twists and turns. On the way of migration, he was killed and all his property was robbed. This also became the fuse for Cao Cao's bloody massacre in Xuzhou!
"According to the current situation, both sides are likely to be the same as us!" Lin Mu sighed in his heart.
If the Great Wilderness Territory can get along with some of the Yellow Turbans, so can others.
However, the two sides in Xuzhou did not play along, did not coerce the people, and did not seek wealth, and still maintained superficial stability.
You know, now even the completely fallen Jizhou has begun to officially start chaos. The officers and soldiers in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, almost all led by Long Ting, began to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans!
A stable Xuzhou is not in the interests of the Great Wilderness Territory. Even if Xi Zhicai did not have too many Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou, it did not prevent the Great Wilderness Territory from eyeing this piece of fat meat.
"How is your Night Shadow Department collecting information about the governor of Xuzhou?" Lin Mu, who had been silent for a while, asked again.
"Xuzhou Governor Zhu Bing, a native of Gaoping County, Shanyang County, was recommended by Mengyin and served as the governor of Xuzhou. According to uncertain information, it is rumored that this person secretly flattered the eunuchs and privately forced the famous official Zhang Jian away!" The black shadow said slowly.
Zhang Jian? ! Eight and one? !
"Book of the Later Han. Volume 67. Biography of the Party Imprisonment. Preface": "Zhang Jian, Cen Yu, Liu Biao, Chen Xiang, Kong Yu, Yuan Kang, Tan Fu, and Zhai Chao are eight."
I don't have much impression of Zhu, but I am very familiar with Zhang Jian and Liu Biao.
Because he and Yang Xu talked about Zhang Jian earlier in Lujiang County, Yangzhou!
Because Zhang Jian was framed by Hou Lan during the Party Imprisonment Disaster, he went into exile.
In 184 AD, the first year of Zhongping, the Party Imprisonment was lifted, and Zhang Jian returned to his hometown. General He Jin and the three officials all summoned him, and recommended him as Dunpu, and sent a public car to appoint him as Shaofu!
But unlike real history, Zhang Jian agreed to He Jin's call!
For Yang Xu, who returned to the General's Mansion after destroying the Yellow Turban Army in Lujiang County, it was very important to know his colleagues. It was when discussing the establishment of the General's Mansion that Lin Mu heard Yang Xu introduce Zhang Jian.
As for Liu Biao, let alone the overlord princes of Jingzhou! !
Liu Biao's ability can be seen from the fact that he can take such a rich and important place as Jingzhou and manage it well.
"Anything else?" Lin Mu asked.
"This person has been in office, constantly squeezing the people's fat and blood, and has very little supervision over the prefects of Xuzhou. The reason why Xuzhou can be so stable is that he is on good terms with these prefects."
"Those prefects bribed him with money and property to maintain the balance. Another thing is that because this person is a disciple of the former Taiwei Liu Kuan, the great families in Xuzhou did not deal with him, even if he might be in collusion with the eunuchs." Ye Yingbu said the important information.
In fact, there are still many small details that have not been mentioned, such as how Zhu Bing framed Zhang Jian and how he was in cahoots with those prefects.
Lin Mu was not impressed by these. Because this person could not be the governor of Xuzhou for too long.
However, after hearing the name Liu Kuan, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Liu Kuan! Former Taiwei Liu Kuan! The famous official with the title: [Tongru]!
Liu Kuan is the fifteenth grandson of Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty. His father, Liu Qi, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Interior during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. Liu Kuan has studied "Ouyang Shangshu" and "Jingshi Yi" since he was a teenager, and is particularly good at "Han Shi Waizhuan". He has profound research in stargazing, divination, arithmetic, calendar phenomena, etc., and is known as a "Tongru" (a Confucian scholar with profound knowledge).
Like Xun Shuang's title of "Shuoru", Liu Kuan is also a very powerful person. After his death, he triggered a heavenly task!
Heavenly task: [Liu Kuan's Relics]!
This task was triggered because of a legacy!
This was activated by a player, and there was also a system announcement in the Huaxia area at that time!
The system announcement at that time did not say what the legacy was. Players later speculated that it might be a geomancer, or a fortune teller, or a Taoist priest...
It is very rare to have such treatment. Lin Mu didn't know much about this task in his previous life. Although there was a system announcement, the information displayed was very little, and the legacy was also carried out in secret. Even which player got it was unknown!
Thinking of this, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he instructed: "Create a new Great Wilderness Territory Heavenly Rank Task List Task, codenamed [Liu Kuan Inheritance]!"
"Uh... Yes, sir!" Black Shadow was slightly surprised that his lord suddenly came up with such a Heavenly Rank Task, but he still did not question it and directly agreed.
"The key figure in this task may be this Zhu Bing! You let Ye Ying's soldiers follow him." Lin Mu instructed.
"Yes!"
Liu Kuan did not live as long as Xun Shuang, nor did he live as long as Liu Biao. He died in the second year of Zhongping (185 AD) at the age of 66. He was posthumously awarded the titles of [General of Chariots and Cavalry] and [Special Advancement] by Liu Hong, and the posthumous title of [Zhaolie].
"According to the planning of this life, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not drag on for too long, otherwise those resource points may be exposed more... In this way, the basic strategy of the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be completed before this mission!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
"According to the information, this Zhu Bing should not have great ambitions, or a big picture to balance the Taiping Dao in Xuzhou. There should be other people pushing behind the scenes." Lin Mu analyzed.
"That's right! It is very likely that the eunuchs are behind the scenes. The most suspicious is the Zhong Changshi Hou Lan!" The black shadow analyzed.
"Unlike Qingzhou, the gentry and eunuch forces in Xuzhou seem to be balanced! Even the Yellow Turban Army is brought into the balance situation, which is not easy to deal with!" Lin Mu sighed.
No wonder Jiang Qin has been unable to open the situation!
"Then what should we do next? Continue to follow the plan and wait for the three forces to be in chaos, or should we start using spies to disrupt the situation in Xuzhou?" The shadow asked.
"You can fish in troubled waters, use spies! After you go down, immediately arrange someone to notify Wu Huan, the small canal commander in Pengcheng State, and let him lead the Yellow Turban Army to start inciting the poor people to rise up and attack those towns!" Lin Mu pondered for a while and said in a concentrated voice.
"Remember, don't attack the county town. It feels too weird here in Xuzhou."
"Moreover, expose the Taipingdao resource point in Xiaqiu City, Xiapi State, Xuzhou, and attract people in the dark to rob it, stimulate the contradiction between Taipingdao and them, and break the balance!" Lin Mu initially revealed the new plan.
Taipingdao, the gentry, and the eunuchs are not allies, but three forces that are as hostile as fire and water. Even if Taipingdao surrenders to the government and maintains a superficial balance, Taipingdao will only surrender to one side, and it is impossible to surrender to the gentry and the eunuchs.
According to Lin Mu's guess, the Taiping Dao in Xuzhou is probably not relying on eunuchs, but on the nobles and aristocrats!
The eunuchs may not care about the situation in Xuzhou for the time being because of their collusion with the Taiping Dao.
Now that the wars in several states in the Central Plains have begun to ignite, the fear of the Taiping Dao has gradually diminished. Those eunuchs and aristocrats who are never satisfied will definitely come out to stir up trouble.
The Yellow Turban Army resource point in Xuzhou is the starting point!
In order to break the balance of Xuzhou, Lin Mu is willing to sacrifice a resource point!
"Yes!" The black shadow remembered the key points of the lord's plan.
"After exposing the resource point, let Zhu Huan divide his troops, and some of the Yellow Turban Army will continue to coerce the people, and make as much noise as possible, while the elite part will ambush outside the Taiping Dao resource point in Xiaqiu City and swallow up all the troops that come to rob!" Lin Mu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Balance... Humph! As long as those forces are injured, they will still talk about balance?
At that time, let the people who were coerced attack the county town that was easy to capture and plunder the city's property. When the tempting figures of looted property were presented in front of them, would they still maintain balance?
People die for money and birds die for food! What's more, it's fun to fill your secret vault with the opponent's property!
"In terms of details, this is it..." Lin Mu began to tell the black shadow some details of the plan.
