Chapter 1223: Forced to rebel against Zhao Kuangyin (Part 2)
For people like Di Renjie and Bao Zheng who are good at investigating and handling cases, they must be honest and sincere in handling any matter, so everything must be well-founded, but this is not the case with Jia Xu.
A ruthless person like Jia Xu wants to focus only on the results, not the process, so whether there is evidence or not, it is the same to him. After all, what do you have to do with me?
Yang Jian killed Dong Zhuo. There is still no conclusive evidence, but the whole world believes that Dong Zhuo was killed by Yang Jian.
This is not just because Jia Xu used Li Shimin's help to first convict Yang Jian of murdering Dong Zhuo, and then let Li Shimin and others slowly find evidence.
Regardless of whether Li Shimin can find evidence in the end, Jia Xu's goal has been achieved anyway, he wanted to make Yang Jian notorious and infamy for thousands of years.
The same is true today. Regardless of whether Zhao Kuangyin has ambitions or whether he wants to rebel, as long as Jia Xu wants Zhao Kuangyin to rebel, he will use all means to force him to rebel.
Of course, if Zhao Kuangyin had no ambition at all and was willing to hand over military power, then Jia Xu's plan would naturally come to nothing.
After all, a true loyal minister, no matter how despicable Jia Xu's methods are, will never rebel because of Jia Xu's instigation.
But if Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious, he is destined to be unable to escape Jia Xu's clutches, because Jia Xu has too many ways to burn people like him.
Implementing a divorce plan is also a technical job, and it is by no means as simple as sending spies to spread rumors. In order to achieve the most perfect effect, Jia Xu even decided to go to the front line to arrange it in person.
Before leaving, Jia Xu said: "Xun Yu, Han Fei, you two stabilize the court. I will come back as soon as I go."
"Mr. Jia, don't worry. With the two of us here, there won't be chaos in Luoyang." Xun Yu said seriously.
Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded with relief. Now Luoyang has Xun Yu, Han Fei, and Qin Jiantan Daoji in military affairs. Unless the Yuzhou army can break through Yique Pass and Guangcheng Pass, and then march into Luoyang City, Luoyang will be as stable as Mount Tai.
After settling things in Luoyang, Jia Xu summoned Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, the commanders of Jin Yiwei, and handed over a piece of white paper filled with words, and said calmly: "I want you to write this piece of paper within three days. The content spread throughout Runan and throughout Yuzhou within ten days."
What is written on this piece of paper is evidence that Zhao Kuangyin planned to rebel, but it is definitely not made up by Jia Xu and deliberately framed.
Although Jia Xu didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin had done in private, even if Jia Xu didn't know, he could still guess at the plans of an ambitious man like Zhao Kuangyin who wanted to stand on his own feet. Generals, placing people in important positions, and other things that are beneficial to self-reliance in the future, can definitely be applied to other people who are self-reliant.
After Gai Nie heard the time limit given by Jia Xu, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and said: "Sir, is this a little too hasty? Spreading rumors is about keeping things quiet. If you are too hasty, the Yuzhou secret agent will Their whereabouts are likely to be exposed."
“If you want to achieve great things, sacrifice is inevitable.”
Jia Xu glanced at Gai Nie and said coldly: "Send the order to the Jinyi Guards Department in Yuzhou. At this time, the order is dead. Not to mention only a part of it is exposed. Even if it is completely exposed and hundreds of spies in Yuzhou are sacrificed, I must give the mission to me." It’s done, otherwise it will be treated as a mutiny.”
What would happen if Jin Yiwei's spies rebelled outside?
Most of the spies who can be released as spies will definitely leave behind clues and worries.
If spies with family members rebelled, their entire family members would definitely be executed;
There are actually very few spies without family members. For safety reasons, they will be given poison, and antidotes will be distributed regularly. Therefore, if they rebel, as long as they stop distributing antidotes, they will not survive for long.
If the antidote was accidentally poisoned, it would be on Jin Yiwei's list to catch up with him, and even Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang would personally dispatch it when necessary.
In short, once you betray, you will be punished until death, so there are very few betrayers in Jinyiwei.
Jia Xu's order can be said to have forced hundreds of spies from Yuzhou Jinyiwei to a dead end.
Although they were dissatisfied with Jia Xu's order in their hearts, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang still followed the order because they both knew that Jia Xu was right and that necessary mercy could not be tolerated in troubled times.
To be honest, neither Gai Nie nor Wei Zhuang like Jia Xu very much. His extremely vicious way of doing things, even at the expense of his own people, made them feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
But one thing, the two of them had to admit that Jia Xu was right, that is: if you want to achieve great things, sacrifice is inevitable.
——————————
At the foot of Guangcheng Pass, in the Yuzhou Army Commander's Camp, Zhao Kuangyin, the Yuzhou Army Commander, received a letter of peace request from Jia Xu of Yique Pass, who sent people to rush over.
"My lord, this old man Jia Xu is quite shady. He did all kinds of destructive things when he was under Dong Zhuo. Let's not fall into the old man Jia Xu's alienation scheme." Zhao Pu said with a solemn expression.
Jia Xu's reputation is still very loud. He is known as: If you don't take action, someone will be unlucky. Zhao Pu didn't want his lord to be plotted unintentionally.
Zhao Kuangyin relied heavily on Zhao Pu, the only conspirator. After thinking about it, he felt that what Zhao Pu said was reasonable, so he immediately summoned all the generals, made the contents of the letter public and burned them to prove that he had a clear conscience.
Within the next nine days, Zhao Kuangyin received nine more letters from Jia Xu.
Jia Xu had chosen the right time to send the message. He calculated the fermentation of the rumors in Yuzhou, and also knew that Yique Pass was in Guangcheng Pass, and even riding a horse would take more than one day, so he decided to send one message every day. A total of ten letters were sent over ten consecutive days.
The first nine letters Zhao Kuangyin received were all written with content about suing for peace, and Zhao Kuangyin was no exception. They showed them to the Yuzhou generals openly and then burned them in public.
When Jia Xu sent this tenth letter, Zhao Kuangyin was a little confused, because although the content of the letter was the same as the previous nine letters, some parts had been blacked out.
"Military advisor, do you think Jia Xu sent the draft by mistake?"
Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Pu doubtfully, while Zhao Pu frowned, looking like he was thinking about Jia Xu's intentions.
"Report...to the Commander-in-Chief, all the generals are asking for an audience."
"Okay, let them in."
After the messenger walked out, Zhao Pu quickly ran over and shouted: "They can't be let in."
"Oh? Why is this?" Zhao Kuangyin asked with a frown.
Zhao Pu stamped his feet anxiously and quickly explained: "My lord, they must have come here to read the letter..."
Before Zhao Pu finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin showed a look of surprise, and then his face couldn't help but turn gloomy.
It’s impossible to guard against it!
