Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2461 Jia Xu had no choice but to enter Jizhou and peacefully liberate Hebei

On the grassland, the contacts between Yuan Mongolia and some forces in the west became more frequent.

Within the Qing Dynasty, after Huang Taiji was assassinated, the internal conflicts that had been hidden suddenly broke out and even intensified.

In the Central Plains, an internal conflict also broke out completely at this time. In fact, before this exciting internal conflict, Li Xiang could not help but send people to intervene.

There is also the internal conflict in the Central Plains, which naturally happened in Jizhou. The conflicts in Jizhou have been going on for a long time. Since the death of Yuan Shao, there has been basically no peace there, and there has been some trouble from time to time.

After Yuan Shao died, his two sons formed two major factions to confront each other.

Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan basically had the support of Yuan Shao's most important group of ministers. From the very beginning, their strength was extremely strong. Yuan Xi, Yuan Sheng, Yuan Mujue and other powerful figures in the family basically stood behind him.

Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan, a military figure from the Yuan family, had died in the Jianghuai battlefield. Otherwise, with the addition of this powerful military figure, the second son Yuan Xi, the person who truly held military power in the Yuan family, would not have much chance of competing.

But it was precisely because of the loss of the military's top general that the second-in-command Yuan Xi got a chance to succeed, and because of rumors that Yuan Tan was involved in the death of Yuan Shao, that he was able to quickly gain the support of some people and thus have the possibility to compete with Yuan Tan.

In the early days, Yuan Xi did not have enough hard power, so he lacked the possibility to confront Yuan Tan head-on. He could only take advantage of the deaths of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao, claiming the name of righteousness, to suppress Yuan Tan from this aspect.

Therefore, in the initial period, Yuan Tan was indeed restricted in every way.

In this era, no one can stand being labeled as a patricide!

This kind of problem is a fundamental problem in this era. Once it is involved, it will not just be a matter of a lifetime. It will be directly recorded in history books and be reviled for thousands of years.

Because of this incident, a group of Yuan Tan's original supporters have changed their minds. Although they did not change their allegiance, they have gradually leaned towards the neutral faction and have the intention of watching from the sidelines.

It was Yuan Xi who returned from Qingzhou in time who was very helpful. Although he was unable to find evidence to help Yuan Tan prove his innocence, he successfully fished in troubled waters and completely muddied the waters, making Yuan Xi also involved in Yuan Shao's death.

Originally, one was clean and the other fell into the quagmire, so there was still room for both parties to talk. But now, both of them have fallen into the quagmire, which is also different, and has brought the two people back to the same starting line in this regard.

Yuan Xi had also thought about finding out the truth about Yuan Shao's death, but he was too late. By the time he returned from Qingzhou, Yuan Shao had been buried for many days. Even if there were some clues, they had almost been erased.

After all, Yuan Xi couldn't really dig Yuan Shao out of his grave and open his coffin for an autopsy, right?

In this regard, after the two people stood on the same starting line, Yuan Xi could no longer continue to claim the name of righteousness. Compared with Yuan Tan, he was not strong enough and could only be suppressed everywhere.

Fortunately, he gained the support of Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Su You, Yin Kai, Ju Hu, Yin Kui, and Chen Lin, who were once supporters of the third brother Yuan Shang.

With the addition of Gao Gan, Gao Huan and other members of the Gao family, even if their power is still not as strong as Yuan Tan's, they are not completely powerless to compete.

As the leaders, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi wanted to fight each other with swords and guns, kill each other, and annex each other militarily, so as to completely solve the problem. However, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi wanted to solve the problem with such violence, but it did not mean that their subordinates agreed.

What was the situation in Jizhou at that time?
They were all on their last breath, and what they were most anxious about at that time was how to survive. If they really fought with themselves, then their last chance of survival would be cut off.

Therefore, if the two families were to engage in a direct military confrontation, the advisers under their command on both sides would firmly disagree.

Neither of the two families can afford this battle!
In other words, even if they really wanted to fight, they couldn't even gather the food and supplies to send troops.

Even on normal days, people couldn't find enough food, let alone go to war.

Furthermore, with the previous experience of the Qing Dynasty as a lesson, they are even less willing to engage in direct military confrontation.

Among the three families originally on the grassland, although Yuan Meng was stronger, at least the remaining two were basically on par with each other. Even if there was a slight gap in strength, it was very small.

But after a civil war, the Qing Dynasty split into Eastern Qing and Western Qing. Although it was reunified later, the Qing Dynasty was severely damaged after this split and became the weakest of the three grassland families.

Even after so many years, the hidden dangers brought about by that split have not been completely eliminated.

Therefore, at that stage, using military violence to solve the problem was absolutely not feasible.

Although internal conflicts broke out in Jizhou during that period, people on both sides were still restrained. They all knew that the top priority was recovery. After catching their breath from the epidemic for three years, they were qualified to consider subsequent issues.

If they can't catch their breath, they will probably be dead soon.

Therefore, at the beginning, although civil unrest in Jizhou had already occurred, it was still within the range of control.

After two or three years, Jizhou began to recover a little. Although it was still a long way from its peak, it was at least not as precarious as it was two or three years ago. At this time, civil unrest began to develop.

And it was at this time that the neighbor, Li Xiang, the Jin Emperor in Luoyang, intervened and put Jia Xu in charge of the matter, trying to gain some benefits from it.

In fact, for this matter, Jia Xu has secretly traveled to Jizhou many times in the past two years.

As it turned out, this old fellow Jia Xu could do a pretty good job as long as he was pushed hard. After more than two years of planning, in the near future, Jia Xu successfully defeated the enemy without fighting and took over two counties in Jizhou.

The war in the north has not yet begun, but a quarter of Jizhou has been peacefully liberated.
