"When you are about to write, you should clearly have evidence and observe it carefully. It is nothing more than rashness."
"Zhu Gongdao is a true righteous man." Bao came out of the room and carefully wiped his sword, sighing after listening to Li Yi's narration.
"Although there was a reason, I deceived him after all." Li Yi sighed: "I feel guilty for him!"
"I wish I could be fair and magnanimous to others, and I'm sure I won't take it personally." Bao Chu comforted, "Maybe he will be a helper to us in the future."
"how do I say this?"
"I can't tell..." What Bao said just now was based on a moment of intuition, without any evidence at all: "I just personally thought that Zhu Gongdao would not be like this."
Li Yi recalled the two words of "trouble" that Zhu Gongdao repeated before leaving, and couldn't help but regain confidence in the friendship between them that was about to be severed. After all, his relatives and friends were involved in this disaster. Zhu
No matter how unwilling Justice is, he still has to consider his relatives and friends. The 'trouble' he mentioned is probably because he is struggling with who to choose to help, right?
Bao Chu was still wiping the sword in his hand, his eyes focused as if treating a rare treasure: "Did Xiaoyi find out anything in the end?"
"No." Li Yi sat opposite Bao Chu and shook his head and said: "They are on guard, so I can't continue to follow them. Now I only know that the school captain Cheng Yin and the captain are involved, and the famous people in Hedong are involved.
Most of the powerful people in the country also participated in the rebellion. In addition, Jizhou Mu seems to have also participated..."
"Jizhou?" Bao Chu didn't expect the matter to be so serious. He said in a deep voice, "Do you have any specific plans?"
"No." Li Yi said lightly. He glanced at the long sword lying across Bao Chu's knees, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "There is something I don't understand."
Bao Chu looked up at Li Yi with a serious expression, but kept moving: "What's the matter?"
"Now that we know the identities of the mastermind and some of his subordinates, why not send someone to arrest them now?"
This was what Li Yi couldn't understand the most. Since Supervisor Pingzhun knew that Fan Xian was going to rebel, and he had personally confirmed it through inquiring, why didn't he arrest all these people and torture them to extract confessions?
Envoys and other comrades?
Bao held out his hand for a moment and asked calmly: "Do you know who they contacted in Feng Yi and Hongnong?"
"I don't know." Li Yi shook his head regretfully.
"Did they personally say that they wanted to launch a rebellion?" Bao Chu asked again.
"No." Li Yi denied, but couldn't help but frown.
Bao Chu sighed quietly, raised the sword in front of him, and carefully examined the patterns on the sword: "Who will believe our words if we have no evidence? Even if we are tortured, who will know whether it is a lie or the truth? Who will
Or will they secretly speculate that this is a deliberate attempt by the imperial court to target powerful people like them?"
"People have to be on guard in advance!" Li Yi said anxiously: "Otherwise, once something happens, wouldn't it be a big disaster?"
"Xiaoyi, do you think the imperial court is not on guard?" Bao Chu's gaze shot past the edge of the sword with a hint of sharpness: "I have thought about it a lot these days. Not only the imperial court, but also the governor of Hedong County may have been on guard for a long time.
This is what happened."
"Then why...?" Li Yi suddenly remembered all the strange things he saw when he came here, such as the wide and smooth roads and the dilapidated and old city walls. He blurted out: "Did the imperial court know about it a long time ago?"
"This is just my personal speculation." Bao Chu put his sword back into its sheath and placed it horizontally on the table in front of him: "As for the court's plans, I have no idea. We only need to do what the superiors told us.
Enough."
Li Yi was silent for a while and then said: "It seems that I have to go back. At least as discussed before, I have to know their plan and what other powerful people in Hongnong and other places are involved, so that I can deal with it."
"Yes." Bao Chu nodded and said, "I will report this matter to Wang Fujun first, and I still have to trouble Xiaoyi for the rest."
As he spoke, Bao Chu sighed again and said: "It's all my fault. You are all poor and happy people. If I hadn't asked for something, why would I have let you get involved in this kind of thing? I almost ended up with you in the end.
I wish such a friend a happy life."
"Don't say that. This is brotherly loyalty. If you don't look for me when you encounter difficulties, then you are really cheating." Li Yi has long had ambitions for fame, otherwise he wouldn't be so diligent just relying on chivalry.
He tried his best to do things for Bao, but this time he was just pretending to be chivalrous and just getting what he needed.
"By the way, where is Yan Gongzhong?" Bao Chu asked with a smile as if he had just remembered: "This boy is so eloquent that he actually captured the heart of a woman in Fan Xian's house. I am afraid that he is addicted to it now and has no intention of him.
Is it okay?"
"He keeps saying that he is a scholar all day long, as if he is afraid that others will not know." Li Yi said with a smile: "Let him go, it's rare to meet someone you like, I can do this by myself
Already."
Bao Chu glanced at Li Yi with a smile but said nothing.
On April 12, the fourth year of Chuping, Wei Gu, the prime minister of Hedong County, took advantage of the time when the county governor Wang Yi was inspecting the counties, and ordered the execution of several criminals in Cao Yang Pei's hands. Yang Pei and Liu Wan refused to obey the order, and then there were
The jailer privately acquitted him, released several families, and turned the meritorious officer Zhang Shi to be responsible for hearing the case.
After Yang Pei was offended, he refused to give in and started a fierce struggle with Wei Gu and others. Just as the situation in Hedong County became increasingly complicated and tense, the Guandong area was not peaceful either.
General Liu Xiang, who was stationed in Chenliu by General Yuan Shu, was attacked jointly by Zhu Ling and Pingdong General Cao Cao, and was retreating steadily. However, before Yuan Shu's main force was preparing to fight against Cao Cao, they suddenly encountered a rebellion from the Huns Yufu Luo.
Attacked, the army was defeated all the way.
Zhu Jun, the former general who led the governor of Yuzhou, saw the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to send troops south to Yingchuan. At this time, Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan General Liu Biao also followed suit and sent generals to attack Nanyang County.
Yuan Shu was attacked on three sides in the north, south and west, and his vitality was severely damaged. Just when Yuan Shao's camp and Zhu Jun and others thought that Yuan Shu was about to fall, Yuan Shu suddenly struggled to survive and resolutely chose to give up Nanyang and Yuzhou.
With part of his foundation, he fled to Yangzhou with his army.
This jump directly allowed him to escape from danger, and since then he has gained a broader space for development in Huainan, Yangzhou and other places.
As for the foundation left by Yuan Shu, it was divided up by Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Zhu Jun. Zhu Ling stationed troops and Chen Liu to control Henan. Yuan Shao had no hidden dangers in the south for a while, but since Lu Bu received Yuan Shao's support in the east, he relied on his bravery to defeat them one after another.
Tian Kai set up a blockade, successfully arrived at Beihai, and completed the handover with Kong Rong.
The war in the Central Plains has just subsided, and Qingzhou is about to be ignited again with the arrival of Lu Bu.
