Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 27 Great Virtuous Mentor (2)

Zhao Lei walked into the study, and the other three followed closely.After dismissing the soldiers guarding the door, Zhao Lei said to everyone: "What should we do now, Zhang Jiao's appearance completely disrupted our previous deployment!"

"My lord, if this subordinate thinks how to take this step, the lord has to think carefully, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be a catastrophe." Jia Xu warned.

"What do the two military advisers think?" Zhao Lei asked.

Jia Xu was silent, but Zhang Han suddenly laughed.

"Why is the second brother laughing for no reason?" Zhao Lei asked.

"I'm laughing at that Zhang Jiao who thinks he's smart, but he's actually as stupid as a pig." Zhang Han said.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Lei asked, and Jia Xu also looked at him.

"First of all, in principle, Zhang Jiao wants the lord to give her a helping hand when he raises an army. If the lord does not agree, he will spread rumors to ruin the lord's reputation and be wanted by the court. So from this point of view, we have to agree. .” Zhang Han said.

He sat down and took a sip of tea before continuing what he had just said.

"Although we agreed, when he rebels, we will control whether he will send troops or not. At that time, as long as he rebels, he will be severely attacked by the imperial army. There is no time to control us, so the initiative is still in our hands. .” Zhang Han said his own thoughts.

"Then if we don't send troops at that time and push Zhang Jiao into a hurry, we will still be dragged into trouble." Zhao Lei was still very worried.

"No, lord, there is no need to worry about this. If Zhang Jiao dragged the lord into the water at that time, we can send troops to attack him to clear our innocence." Jia Xu explained.

"But I have a question for Zizhou. If Zhang Jiao asks us to send troops to attack Luoyang first, and then he sends troops to Jiangbei, what should we do?" Jia Xu asked Zhang Han with a smile, as if to test him.

"That's even simpler. Write a secret letter to Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, explain the situation, and ask Han Fu to report this book to the court when Zhang Jiao rebels. Then we will pretend to attack Luoyang. After Han Fu presents to the court, we will return to Hebei to attack Zhang Jiao." Zhang Han said.

"It feels very complicated, and I don't understand it at all." Zhao Lei looked confused, and Zhang Han made this strategy very complicated.

"Good strategy, my lord, then agree to Zhang Jiao's request!" Jia Xu said.

"Well, since the two military advisers have agreed, although I don't understand it very well, let's do it according to the military adviser's intention!" Zhao Lei said.

"Second brother, I have a question. Eldest brother always said that when the world is in chaos, it is time for us to raise our troops. If today is a good opportunity, and Zhang Jiao wants to rebel, wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone? Can't it be messed up?" Zhao Yun asked suddenly after he had been listening to them all the time.

Zhao Lei actually wanted to tell Zhao Yun that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world would be in chaos, but unfortunately his identity could not be exposed, so he said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, do you really think that after Zhang Jiao is eliminated, no one will dare to rebel?" ?”

"As long as there is one person who dares to take the lead in rebellion, there will be chaos in the world afterwards, so Zhang Jiao's rebellion this time is an opportunity. If we can seize the opportunity in the court's crusade against Zhang Jiao, no matter what happens to us Prestige is also good for future development." Zhang Han explained to Zhao Yun.

"I understand." Zhao Yun said.

"Then, my lord, I have another plan. Didn't I say that Zhang Jiao might let my lord send troops first?" Jia Xu said.

Zhao Lei nodded.

"Actually, this kind of possibility can only happen when Zhang Jue really doesn't trust the lord. If Zhang Jiao believes that the lord will definitely send troops to help him, then the above argument doesn't exist."

Zhao Lei thought about it.

"What does Mr. Jia think?" Zhang Han asked.

"Why don't we blackmail Zhang Jiao severely, making Zhang Jiao think that the lord sent troops out of greed for money. Then we smuggled the money extorted from Zhang Jiao to Yangzhou, and used it as capital for future hegemony. Yet Zhang Jiao is determined to raise troops To rebel, we must have enough money and food, firstly, we can get a lot of profits, secondly, we can gain Zhang Jiao’s trust, and thirdly, we can avoid sending troops to be cannon fodder first, isn’t that very good?” Jia Xu said.

"This plan is very clever, Mr. Jia is really talented." Zhao Lei suddenly came to his senses after being told by Jia Xu.

"The lord has won the award, so it is Xu's responsibility to share the lord's worries." Jia Xu said.

"The lord must also ask Zhang Jiao to promise what kind of reward Zhang Jiao will give after the matter is completed. Only by asking in this way can the lord be greedy for money and eager for quick success, so that Zhang Jiao will not become suspicious. This strategy is perfect." Zhang Han said.

"Okay, tomorrow morning I will send someone to the inn in the east of the city to find Zhang Jiao. If there is nothing wrong, everyone will go back to rest early." Zhao Lei said.

"Wait, who said it's okay." Zhang Han said while grabbing Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, come home with me and help me take a bath." Zhang Han picked up Zhao Yun's ear and dragged him outside.

"Second brother, be gentle, my ears are about to be twisted off by you." Zhao Yun begged for mercy in pain, and the two walked out of the study one after the other.

Zhao Lei sighed, lamented these two living treasures, and then went back to the dormitory alone.

The next day.

Zhang Jiao came to the Zhao residence, but he was not as polite as yesterday, he asked Zhao Lei straight to the point, "I don't know how the prefect Zhao is thinking? Will you agree to the old man?"

"I agree to your request." Zhao Lei said.

"Is that right? In fact, you don't have to choose Zhao Taishou." Zhang Jiao smiled.

"However, I have a few conditions." Zhao Lei interrupted Zhang Jiao.

"Didn't I say it before, Prefect Zhao is not qualified to negotiate terms with me." Zhang Jiao laughed.

"Don't be so anxious, great virtuous teacher! It's not too late to tell me what the conditions are." Zhao Lei also smiled.

Zhang Jiao thought it was reasonable, so he asked Zhao Lei, "What conditions?"

"My first condition is that the great virtuous and good teachers must bear the money and food of my army. You also know that there was a famine in Jizhou this year, and the money and food are scarce. If I don't have money and food, how can I rebel?" Zhao Lei said the first condition , Waiting for Zhang Jiao's reply.

Zhang Jiao laughed loudly: "This is the right thing. Money and food are not a problem. After I return to Julu, I will immediately allocate 500 million grain and 20 shi for military use. How about it?"

Zhao Lei nodded in satisfaction.

"Then what are the conditions?" Zhang Jiao asked.

"The second condition, I would like to ask the great virtuous teacher, what reward will I get if the matter is completed." Zhao Lei asked this question according to the plan.

"If I ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Position, you can choose any official position in the court." Zhang Jiao readily agreed to Zhao Lei's request.

"Well, since the great virtuous and good teacher is so forthright, Zhao can rest assured. Please also rest assured, great virtuous and good teacher, Zhao will definitely help you. Minister Zhao Lei sees the future majesty." Zhao Lei saluted Zhang Jiao as a monarch and minister, But I thought in my heart: Wait until you go to the underworld in the future and then go to your emperor's dream!
"It's settled like this. I plan to start an uprising in Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou in March this year, and Zhao Taishou will start an uprising in Jizhou and Bingzhou. After success, we will gather troops and horses to join forces under the city of Luoyang." Zhang Jiao Said.

"Although the strategy is good, the people who use this strategy are pig-headed. No wonder the Yellow Turban Uprising will not succeed." Zhang Han thought to himself at this time.

"Okay, it's settled like this." In order not to make Zhang Jiao suspicious, Zhao Lei gave him a high-five as an oath, because people in ancient times valued loyalty very much.In this way, Zhang Jiao has no doubts about Zhao Lei at all.

"At that time, General Zhao will see that my actions are causing trouble, and I will keep in close contact with you by letter in the near future." Zhang Jiao said.

"Okay, I will follow the instructions of the great virtuous teacher." Zhao Lei said.

"Then I'll go back to Julu, General Zhao, take care, please remember our agreement," Zhang Jiao said.

"Don't worry, great virtuous teacher, I'm already on the same boat as you." Zhao Lei smiled.

Zhang Jiao waved his hand and walked out of the hall.

"My lord, there are still more than two months for us to prepare. My lord must not make a wrong move this time, or the consequences will be disastrous." Jia Xu said.

"Well, I also hope that the two military advisers can give me more advice. After all, there are many people and strength." Zhao Lei said.

"Sharing the Lord's worries is our duty." The two said in unison.

"Then let's call it a day! Tomorrow morning, everyone will go to the Council Hall to discuss matters." Zhao Lei announced the end of the meeting.
